The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 582 Secret Talk
"You're here... Why aren't you coming in?" A voice came from inside, and the person who had been lying quietly on the bed sat up and leaned against the bed, looking at the two of them with a gloomy expression.

Jiang Hui and Zhou Xiuwen occupied the positions on each other's left and right sides.

The three friends, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, looked at each other with a tacit understanding. Their eyes met, and Zhou Xiuwen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The other two turned their heads to look over; one was expressionless, and the other was puzzled.

Zhou Xiuwen: ...

What to do? This is even funnier now, isn't it?!
Jiang Hui was a little confused. Why was Zhou Xiuwen laughing at them before anyone even sat down and started talking? What was so funny? Twice already…

After finally stopping laughing, he said, "I just think we look like door gods, don't we? Ah Hui, you shouldn't be so precise with me. Move forward a bit. We're too aligned, like a straight line... Never mind, I'll move instead—" With that, he moved back a bit and stepped out of the strange circle of three people in a straight line.

Then, whether it was his imagination or not, the pressure suddenly disappeared, making him realize that his two friends were truly extraordinary. How could he feel pressure just from sitting together like that?!

To cover his embarrassment, Zhou quickly changed the subject and asked how Huan Xian was feeling. He explained that he had been busy yesterday and couldn't come to visit, but the therapist reported that Huan Xian was much better.

Huan Xian shook his head: "It's alright."

He glanced at Jiang Hui, and seeing that she seemed to be looking around, he took the initiative to ask, "What about you? I heard from Zhou Xiuwen that you've been discharged from the hospital. Take good care of yourself."

"Yes, the therapist has approved my discharge, saying that I'm fine now and can just take some time to recover."

Jiang Hui was telling the truth; that's quite amazing in interstellar space. She had broken her leg, broken her ribs, lost too much blood, suffered cerebral hypoxia and developed cerebral inflammation… all these combined made for a serious injury, requiring months of bed rest for recovery. But after only three or four days of rest, there was practically nothing wrong with her body, and in less than a week she had recovered to her current state—it was truly miraculous.

But now Jiang Hui finally understood why Zhou Xiuwen always looked so worried whenever he talked about Huan Xian... because compared to her seemingly fake serious injury, Huan Xian's injury was probably real.

Even after all these days, the other person still looks so weak and sickly. Their face is so thin and gaunt, their cheeks are sunken, and their complexion is paler than paper. They seem to be in much worse shape than last time, struggling even to sit up—which shows just how badly they were injured.

The girl disagreed, saying, "Since you can't sit, just lie down properly. We don't need to argue about these trivial things." With that, Jiang Hui tried to lower the headboard for him so he could lie down comfortably.

The other party waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I've been lying down for so many days that I'm almost useless."

"I heard you reported your military merits, congratulations." The young man slightly raised the corners of his mouth, finally showing a hint of happiness, as if he was genuinely happy for her.

How did they know? Jiang Hui immediately looked at Zhou Xiuwen with a question in her eyes. The young man opposite her shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. In any case, it wasn't him who told her; he probably heard it from some elder. "Although... I still don't know if the application will be successful." Jiang Hui didn't have much hope, and there was always a sense of unreality to it. After all, that was military merit, not some banner that could be printed casually. She didn't think her actions could be considered military merit; at most, it was just an act of bravery.

"Okay." ×2
The two voices rose almost simultaneously.

And they both spoke with such certainty… Jiang Hui looked at Huan Xian suspiciously, then at Zhou Xiuwen. How could these two be more confident than she was?

Applying for military merit is no simple matter. Even though she saved hundreds of people, she clearly remembered that she wasn't the only one who stepped forward to rescue them that day; there were several others... Could these people also apply for recognition?

If we had to say that Jiang Hui had one more advantage than others, it would probably be that she killed an A-level star beast.

Little did she know that it was this A-class star beast that made the higher-ups see the feasibility of applying for military merit for her. Because no matter what, a soldier who could independently slaughter an A-class star beast before fully awakening was destined to enter the army, and would inevitably be one of the most shining stars among them.

The military will not mistreat those who have made contributions. Rewarding Jiang Hui will allow them to first identify a high-potential awakener, which is a win-win situation.

Huan Xian knew, however, that even disregarding public opinion, Jiang Hui would ultimately gain military merit. This was because the secret message he had asked Jiang Hui to forward contained the crucial intelligence that would determine the crisis in the defense line, and her relay was a vital link in that chain.

For this reason, the military also needs to appease Jiang Hui. Coincidentally, she has just made a contribution, and by combining multiple factors, it can give her a small but significant credit. It would be best to tie her to the path of the military, so that she is less likely to "run away" in the future.

Besides, although there are many brave and skilled warriors in the interstellar space, they wouldn't mind having more talents like Jiang Hui who have high potential and are full of awareness. Naturally, the more the better.

"Sigh, the military merit thing is still far from being settled, let's see... But I don't know when I'll be able to continue my exam. If it's canceled or my previous exam is invalidated, then all my trip will have been for nothing," Jiang Hui muttered, her head starting to ache just thinking about it. Who would have thought that getting a driver's license would be so difficult, full of twists and turns, and she almost lost her life, and she still hasn't finished the exam.

"Mech piloting level exam?" Huan Xian and the other person frowned in confusion.

He had been missing for some time, and only made contact with Jiang Hui and the others a few days ago. For the past month, he had been enduring imprisonment in a closed environment and was unaware that Jiang Hui had taken the level exam.

Now that he had confirmed the other person's condition, he realized that Jiang Hui should have arrived here long ago, and the mecha piloting level exam should only take three days, five days at most. But more than half a month had passed…

Jiang Hui saw the other person's expression. Right, he didn't know about this yet, so he briefly explained the events of being ambushed during the exam that day, discovering that the mecha had been tampered with, and rescuing people, etc. The other two already knew many of the details, but the other two frowned repeatedly as they listened.

This was the first time they had heard the person involved talk about this matter up close. They had only known a small part of it before, and Jiang Hui's words made them even angrier.
