The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 368 Reply
As the two walked, perhaps lost in thought, they unconsciously slowed down, and Jiang Hui and Huan Xian took the lead.

Jiang Hui turned her head to look, still a little puzzled as to why they were walking slower and slower.

As for Huan Xian, he had no thoughts whatsoever; he remained quite calm, both outwardly and inwardly. Seeing Jiang Hui stop, he stopped as well.

"Zhou, you're the host... You're not planning to let me be the first to open the door, are you?" Jiang Hui jokingly reminded him. Actually, it wouldn't matter whether he went first or last, but in the current situation, it would be more appropriate for Zhou Xiuwen, the host, to go first.

Although she was no longer nervous, the thought of a head of state standing behind the door she was about to walk through made her somewhat uneasy. She decided it was best for Zhou Xiuwen to shield them, giving their good friends a buffer.

"Huh? Huh!" Zhou Xiuwen then realized that he had fallen behind and quickly returned to the original position of leading the way. However, the four of them fell into a silence again.

"Di-"

Jiang Hui was startled and instinctively wanted to open his personal terminal to check, but he stopped himself immediately because there was a single large door in the middle of the corridor not far away. Several rows of stern-looking soldiers stood at the door, and it was clear that an important figure was stationed inside.

At the turn not long ago, Zhou Xiuwen reminded them that the west hall where everyone was going to eat was approaching.

But it was precisely at this moment that Jiang Hui's heart felt like it had been gently scratched by a cat's paw, making her a little restless. After hesitating several times, she was noticed by the person in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiuwen asked, pointing to the area near her neckline to indicate that her personal terminal had gone off.

After thinking it over, Jiang Hui decided to wait and see. After all, they were going to meet such a great man, and it would be impolite to be too negligent.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiuwen was the first to stop in his tracks: "Don't you want to take a look? You look like you really want to see it... Anyway, the appointed time hasn't arrived yet." They had arrived more than half a week early, and they didn't know if their father would have other guests.

Moreover, this is the back, so even if there are guests, they won't hear anything coming from here.

Upon hearing this, the other two also looked at her.

No, you guys should at least be a little more serious. They're going to see the legendary Commander Zhou. Zhou Xiuwen isn't mentioned, he's his father anyway, but why are you all acting so casual? It makes her seem like she's the one who's overreacting.

Should she thank these people who were quite considerate of her and noticed this?

At the same time, the computer beeped several times, sounding like a bombardment, so Jiang Hui had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn on the computer.

Actually, generally speaking, incoming messages from the optical computer don't come in this kind of sound. You can also switch to Do Not Disturb mode, as StarCraft is quite mindful of privacy.

Jiang Hui had already set everything up before coming, but the sudden notification from her personal terminal reminded her that she had specifically configured Clarence's communication interface to receive his messages immediately. Therefore, these notifications were likely from him.

Fortunately, her "beep" sounds were timely. Otherwise, if they had walked a little further and entered the west hall to meet Zhou Yuanjing, and the personal terminal had suddenly made those sounds, the scene... just thinking about it is unpleasant.

Well, they hadn't heard from Clarence for three days straight, and they were genuinely worried. Although they had received confirmation of her safety before leaving the hospital, communication had been cut off immediately, and there hadn't been any definite news for three whole days. This made Jiang Hui start to suspect that she might have been lying unconscious for another three days. If that were the case, her condition was far from optimistic. So, these past few days, Jiang Hui had been quietly waiting at the Zhou residence, but she was also quite distressed. Firstly, she hadn't yet processed what had happened in the past few days, and secondly, she was still affected by the injuries and deaths that had occurred before her eyes.

Now that they know how the other is doing, it's a relief for them.

Jiang Hui turned off privacy mode while sleeping, allowing the people around her to see the communication module on her personal computer.

The person who contacted her was indeed Clarence himself.

The first thing the other person said was, "I'm awake."

Tsk tsk, just by looking at that tone, you can tell the person on the other end is definitely Clarence. That guy has never been good with words, his speech is blunt, and sometimes he's too direct, making his communication seem unskilled and arrogant.

Zhou Xiuwen and the others couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly. Their friend was incredibly tactless. Even setting aside the person who had risked their life to save him not long ago, one wouldn't start a conversation like that with just any ordinary friend.

However, Jiang Hui didn't feel anything. She thought to herself that these three words made her feel much more relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips: "It seems he still has some energy."

"I heard from your brother that you were also injured, though not seriously, but you had a major injury a month ago. I consulted the military doctor who treated you, and he said that if you don't recover properly, it could cause lasting damage. Please take care of yourself and be careful with your activities, Jiang. I have asked the family doctor to send a batch of recuperative medicine to the school, so please check it when it arrives."

"I'm mostly recovered. I just have urgent business at home and need to return to the central star region. I'm in such a hurry that I didn't have time to tell my class advisor, so please let them know for me."

……

"There is chaos on Star 732, and normal teaching at the school is also affected. Please be careful on your return journey."

"And that day... never mind, I'll tell you about it in person when I return to school later."

"Wishing you a speedy recovery."

Zhou Xiuwen, Hillman, and Huan Xian: ...

Hillman glanced at the quantum computer with a subtle look, his eyes widening slightly as if trying to see through it to the person on the other end: "Clarence seems to be recovering well? Being able to type so much… we're quite happy for him. However—" Wasn't this a bit too much preferential treatment?!
The message on the computer consisted of thirteen sentences, some long and some short. Only two of them mentioned "you," and the rest were almost all addressed to Jiang Hui alone... Well, it's quite gratifying that the other party still remembers these old friends, but it's a little itchy to punch them.

Moreover, they had never seen Clarence speak so much at once since they had known him.

Good heavens, this guy can actually talk so much when he's being long-winded? Jiang Hui didn't even reply once; he just sent a whole bunch of messages and then ended the conversation on his own.

Jiang Hui's reply during their discussion went unanswered; the other person seemed to have instantly logged off again. It was as if someone had forced him to post those things…
