The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 601 Registration
A month after returning from Atlantis, Jiang Hui's intermediate academy career came to an end.

Jiang Hui had already finished the courses for individual combat personnel, and she also took the time to study many other specialized courses. She was willing to learn anything that could be useful, and she learned a lot of things, both good and bad, making her knowledge very comprehensive. In fact, some people in the same major wouldn't dare to say that they had learned some modules better than her.

Jiang Hui's memory is extraordinary; her brain works better than a scanner. Theoretical knowledge is just a string of characters and data to her. Coupled with her mental strength level and her own abilities, she has never fallen out of first place in the combat individual department. Only Holly from Class One can rival her.

During this time, Jiang Hui even participated in Carlo's private projects, working as his assistant several times. She also recently submitted a newly designed mechanical joint through Carlo's agency; however, it's said that the competition she entered into was quite complex, requiring multiple rounds of screening and recommendations, and results wouldn't be available so quickly.

In addition, Jiang Hui has been quite busy lately, so she hasn't paid attention to it anymore.

In a few weeks, they will finish their third year. Next, they will face the unified examination, officially called the "Unified Entrance Examination for Higher Education Institutions". This exam will be open to the awakened ones of the new interstellar world, and its purpose is to select the seeds for higher education institutions.

At that time, all qualified higher education institutions across the galaxy, including the Imperial-led direct-line military academies, will select students from among them.

For ordinary students who lack connections and access to the direct admission system, the national unified college entrance examination is undoubtedly a relatively fair and just platform to enter higher education institutions. It is an opportunity for them to transcend social class and resources and stand on the same line as those born with a head start.

This single exam determines your success or failure; the future of the next ten years hinges on this one test. You could say it's like an interstellar college entrance exam, or even more demanding. After all, the results of the college entrance exam don't guarantee graduation or a job, but getting into a higher education institution in this interstellar world, even if you graduate effortlessly or only get a diploma, still puts you far ahead of the average person.

Jiang Hui naturally had to participate in this unified exam, but she wasn't as nervous as the others. Perhaps it was because she had experienced more things, and her temperament was much more composed than before.

Although she will probably be leaving Beska Intermediate Academy in less than a month, Jiang Hui still has a lot to do and wants to make the most of her last bit of time.

Jaidi returned the remaining fragments of WALL-E, but it was mostly symbolic; aside from the head, they were almost all unusable pieces, probably only good as souvenirs.

Therefore, WALL-E needed to rebuild the entire mech from scratch. At this point, the parts she had originally created to replace it came in handy, along with the remaining materials she had on hand. Although it couldn't be restored immediately, after a month of repairs, it was beginning to take shape.

After purchasing two more rounds of materials and conducting some adjustments, WALL-E should be reborn. Jiang Hui will then submit it for evaluation and certification as his first mecha creation.

Moreover, she was much more financially comfortable this time because the military had recently provided her with subsidies.

The Atlantis incident was a military blunder; countless innocent civilians perished in the disaster, and a significant number also suffered substantial financial losses. These are responsibilities the military must bear, and cannot be completely resolved simply by changing hands of this outpost and front.

Zhou Yuanjing would not allow the culprits to escape unscathed while others were forced to bear the consequences. He personally contacted the military leadership to expedite the compensation for the victims on Planet 732. After all, the incident could be attributed to the military's inadequate response, and the military bore a significant responsibility.

What could the military do? Zhou Yuanjing was clearly unwilling to budge, so they could only bleed a lot of money as compensation.

Jiang Hui then received this compensation, which was surprisingly substantial. Apart from the accidental compensation and some small expenses like nutrition fees, almost the entire amount was for property replacement, which was essentially the money for the replacement mecha.

Yes, it's WALL-E. Jiang Hui saved many people with this mech, an event recorded in the military's files, certified, and classified as property damage. However, because WALL-E was a homemade mech and was beyond recognition, it couldn't be assessed or certified. The military simply compensated her with an A-level compensation, using the standards for A-level star beasts.

Although it was only the lowest-grade A standard armor, it was still a considerable sum of money for Jiang Hui. If she had to put it into words, she could actually use those star coins to build a dozen or so WALL-E standard mechs exactly—if she had the patience to spend that much time adjusting and recycling them.

Now that she has this money, rebuilding Wally will be much easier for Jiang Hui, and she will have more funds available, relieving her immediate financial crisis.

It's unbelievable! She's only been in interstellar space for a few years, hasn't finished her studies, hasn't done any proper work, but has already amassed a fortune in compensation from the military and government—I don't even know how many payments she's made already…

Jiang Hui shook her head, and then a text message suddenly came in. It was from Hillman inviting her to have lunch together in the cafeteria.

The other person returned two weeks ago, looking travel-worn and appearing more mature and taller, but their eyes remained as clear as ever.

It had been a long time since they had met like this, so Jiang Hui immediately packed her things and headed towards the place they had agreed upon.

Unexpectedly… this is quite a surprise. Jiang Hui sat down in the empty space between them: “Hello everyone, it’s been a long time.”

—The two who haven't been seen for a long time are finally back.

Jiang Hui glanced at them; they had all lost weight, but they looked to be in good spirits. She concluded to herself.

The two people sitting opposite were Huan Xian, who had almost recovered, and Clarence, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhou Xiuwen, like Hillman, returned two weeks ago. The three of them had met before, but these two, appearing here today, probably just returned as well.

"I'm home."

The two people opposite her nodded slightly at almost the same time: "You're back."

Hillman, who hadn't seen his friends gathered like this in a long time, couldn't help but sigh, "Yeah, they're all back. But we're graduating soon..." They came back not only to mark the end of their three years of study, but also to prepare for the upcoming graduation exams.

Thinking about it this way, Hillman felt inexplicably sad.
