The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 383 Help
"You've already learned this much..." Carlo's eyes showed surprise.

"This book is quite useful," Jiang Hui said.

Hmm? Carlo became a little interested upon hearing this. Why did this kid speak so maturely... Even though it was just ordinary talk, he could sense a maturity beyond his years. Moreover, his words prompted him to poke him: "What kind of good use do you think it is?"

Jiang Hui clearly hadn't expected the other person to ask that, but her first reaction wasn't to answer; instead, she checked the time.

It's already past 9:30, the museum is closed. Why didn't the librarian at the front desk announce over the loudspeaker to let them leave as usual?

"Is it closed?" the girl murmured.

Carlo found it somewhat amusing; the kid seemed stumped by the question… He simply said that the book was a good book, but also relatively advanced for beginners, involving some delicate practical operations, already bordering on intermediate level. Consequently, it was a recommended reading for second- and third-year students in many university mecha departments.

While it's possible that students might study material beyond their level on their own, given their limited knowledge, studying this book would definitely be quite difficult. Being able to apply even one or two modules of knowledge would be quite an achievement. How could it possibly be as "useful" as this child so casually described?

I guess the kid just said it casually because he was being competitive, and now that he's been asked about it, he doesn't know what to say, so he can only change the subject. Carlo couldn't help but laugh and said, "No, the manager has some things to do at the front desk, he won't be leaving so soon."

Jiang Hui seemed to be taken aback upon hearing this.

Carlo felt quite awful for taking things so seriously with a teenager—who might have just been being polite.

Regardless of her level of understanding of the book, the fact that she was so engrossed in the library so late suggested she was a diligent learner. Wouldn't my actions be discouraging to her thirst for knowledge?
Just as Carlo was about to call it a day and say something to ease the tension, he heard the girl suddenly speak.

"...Compared to another book in the same series, 'Practical Mecha Cases During the Star Period 87944-878044,' co-authored with another person, 'A Brief Discussion on the Development of Mecha Forms' uses more universally applicable evidence and its data collected from multiple dimensions is more convincing. For example, the former's 'Detailed Explanation of the Hands of Ordinary Humanoid Mechas' starting at page 479, and the latter's 'Three Centuries of Humanoid Mecha Evolution' on page 269, both..."

Jiang Hui initially only intended to mention it briefly, as she had recently been trying to assemble a mecha arm. It was a huge project, as she had only recently learned how to assemble the fingers and links, and she didn't know when it would take to assemble the entire mecha arm. However, she was prepared that it wouldn't be an easy task; she would do a little bit whenever she had time, learning a little bit whenever she had time, honing her skills step by step.

This book, "A Brief Discussion on the Development of Mecha Forms," ​​has become a reference book she frequently consults lately. It's undeniably useful, even among the large collection of precious books Zhou Xiuwen gifted her. She's studied the humanoid mecha-related sections of this book repeatedly.

Later, Jiang Hui found the author's views and style to be just right, and still wanted more, so she looked up another book in the same series.

The book on humanoid mechs covered even more, but unfortunately, it left her greatly disappointed. Whether due to some personal experience or a significant change in style, the subsequent books the author wrote on the subject were far inferior to this one, and some even contained conflicting core arguments, significantly diminishing their relevance.

The question hit Jiang Hui right on the mark, causing her to blurt out everything at once.

Little did Carlo know, she was completely stunned. He had only asked a casual question, and she could pinpoint the exact page number, describe the content, and even offer insightful commentary on another book in the same series. Are kids these days really this amazing?!

Carlo himself had read these two books more than ten times and was quite familiar with them, especially the former, which he often found refreshing each time he read it. But he couldn't read the page numbers aloud... while Jiang Hui, a young man who had just started learning, could recite them so easily. How familiar must he be to do it so effortlessly?

Sheda Caro felt she might have misunderstood the students of Beska Intermediate Academy. Jiang Hui spoke a couple of sentences before realizing her mistake and quickly stopped herself. Why couldn't she control her mouth?

This is so rude! How could she spout such nonsense in front of a teacher? Wouldn't the teacher think she was showing off her limited knowledge? Jiang Hui suddenly felt uneasy.

The other person's expression was somewhat profound, but it didn't reveal any obvious emotions like anger or displeasure; rather, it was rather intriguing.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Jiang Hui shut her mouth, thinking about what excuse she should use to leave later.

"Hmm... what about these books? What do you think?" The other person didn't comment on Jiang Hui's previous remarks, but instead waved the books he was holding.

You're really taking this seriously... What a dedicated teacher, especially since it's after-school time.

But Jiang Hui couldn't just brush off what the other person was saying—

Considering his recent long and seemingly presumptuous speech, Jiang Hui deliberately toned it down this time and honestly said, "It's alright... uh, but not very useful."

Jiang Hui originally wanted to say "more or less" or "it's alright" to brush it off, but was glared at by the other party halfway through.

Finally, she had to honestly tell the truth, because those books really weren't very useful.

She spotted them immediately; those books were the most utterly meaningless junk in the entire mecha section. Reading them was pointless, and some parts even contradicted mecha principles—they were simply misleading and harmful.

His expression became even more subtle. He pulled out one of the books and handed it to the girl, asking her to point out the parts that she didn't find useful.

Jiang Hui: ...No, are you really here to do market research? She just doesn't have much evidence to back it up based on her general impressions.

Seeing that the other person was getting increasingly off track, she was extremely unwilling, but felt she had to speak up out of politeness to her teacher. The two of them exchanged questions and answers, and on the surface, things seemed quite harmonious.

After setting up the module adjustments, the administrator quickly turned back to Carlo. However, before he could even step into the mecha area, he heard two people talking.

One of them was none other than the senior instructor, Mr. Sheda Caro, and the other one he also recognized quite well… wasn't that the student who loved flipping through books?! How come she was chatting with Mr. Caro here? The administrator was somewhat bewildered.

Then he heard Sheda Caro say to the girl, "Little girl, could you do me a favor these next few days?"
