The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 621 The Other End

While Xiao A was sprawled on the large rock, Jiang Hui didn't sit down immediately. She walked around the area, even pruning a strange plant hidden in the bushes at the edge, and then picked up some supplies.

Little A knew, of course, that Jiang Hui was still active nearby, but he didn't have the energy to care. He wished he could just lie there and be done that; even if someone held a knife to his throat, he wouldn't budge an inch...

Okay, he can actually be saved. Little A felt so weak he was about to be eliminated, so he had to patiently retrieve a stamina potion from his inventory to give himself a boost.

This is the lowest grade of supplement, it can't even be called a medicine. Because the energy retention rate is very low, it will keep dropping even if you keep drinking it, so you have to keep drinking it to replenish it. It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause... but it's better than nothing.

Just as he was struggling with the bottle opening, he felt a dark shadow block out the light above him. It was classmate 395. His sudden appearance was quite frightening.

In that brief moment, he even wondered if the other party thought he was too useless or that he was a burden, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to give him a quick death... It wasn't impossible.

Although he felt that thinking about this at this moment was really boring, the large loss of physical strength made him feel his consciousness gradually blurring. Despite being in danger, he couldn't help but wander aimlessly in his mind.

"Drink it." The other person threw something over, and A quickly caught it.

It was small and a bit heavy, bouncing around. Little A thought to himself, bored, as he picked it up and brought it close to his eyes. The sunlight shone down and reflected a rich, golden color.

"This is……"

As if on the verge of death, the person even forgot their own fatigue: "This is..."

Jiang Hui found a spot nearby and sat down, gesturing with a long bamboo stick on the soft sand without looking up.

"I found this over there just now, you can use it first."

This is an energy supplement, not the kind that boosts effects. It restores a certain percentage of your stamina, and its drop rate in the forest is so low that you might doubt it even exists.

But these things are too rare. Looking at the tools he's scavenged along the way, not a single one is a proper supplement; they're all healing potions and basic healing items. If he'd found any supplements, he would have used them already; he wouldn't have been rushing around like this for so long.

Moreover, the other party didn't find any supplements along the way, so whether she got them herself or just got them over there... In any case, it makes people think how generous she is.

This person is really too kind, isn't he? He's even willing to give something like this to his underlings.

"You should rest well. We'll have to find a different way to get around later," the person sitting on a stone bench not far away said to Little A, immediately silencing the other person's attempt to be touched.

This 395 is really... you could say she's good, or you could say she's really awful. He didn't even know if he'd have five stars when the unified exam started, there was no need to be so busy, he was practically out of his mind. Even so, he ultimately followed his heart and drank the supplement filled with his teammates' love, then revived on the spot, not even wanting to lie down anymore. The supplement was definitely more than ten times stronger than the potion, and it worked immediately.

To demonstrate his loyalty, he asked 395 where they were headed next to conquer their target region and which direction they needed to take.

That's just a casual remark. This place is like a maze; you can run around for ages and not see a soul. Who knows how to get around? And it seems endless, with no end in sight. Are they really going to maintain this lukewarm pace throughout the entire unified entrance exam? It just doesn't seem like the way the organizers would do. After all, they're the ones who throw them into this unnamed exam; they can't possibly expect this as all they're waiting for.

He thought Jiang Hui's new approach meant they were planning to change direction; they had been heading west or southwest but hadn't managed to find their way out.

Unexpectedly, 395 pointed upwards, and A thought the other party had made a mistake.

However, Jiang Hui immediately changed his mind: "Let's go up and take a look."

How do I get to the top, boss?! Seriously, I'm speechless...

Jiang Hui ignored the disbelieving look on the person opposite her, finished drawing the last two strokes on the sand, and had a general idea of ​​what she was doing. If someone were inside watching, they would see that this was actually a map of the terrain she had traversed, showing flatlands, slopes, areas with dense shrubs and trees, and dozens of starred points—all points she had actually worked on, representing the probability of the system deploying resources in those areas.

The northeast direction they explored should be the path to the center, which is easy to deduce based on the people they encountered along the way who never returned. The path is covered with traces, indicating that these people who went that way rarely returned.

Although Jiang Hui had a general idea of ​​the direction, she still couldn't be sure about the situation there. If the people there had already formed a large group, their situation was dire. They couldn't afford to be complacent, because anyone caught alone like them would show no mercy. There were only two of them; going over there in this situation would be like offering themselves up as food.

But if they didn't get through, they would never be able to reach the next level. After walking around for half a day, Jiang Hui finally figured it out: the outer ring area was basically a resource dump with little risk. The strongest they encountered were only A-grade alien plants, and those were genetically defective varieties. Their combat power wasn't very strong; they didn't even have a single star beast. Moreover, it was far from human traffic; this place was more like a beginner's safe zone.

In this situation, no matter how many she kills, she can't accumulate to a peak, and this is definitely not what the organizers want to test them on. After all, what's so great about testing someone in a single-player game?

If Jiang Hui were the organizer, wouldn't it be a waste not to integrate large-scale group activities to organize such a large system and such a big exam with so many people together?

The organizers even thoughtfully categorized their outfits by color and provided them with different props. Wasn't it just a way of trying to get them to complete a game? In a cooperative mode, no less.

With the resource gathering aspect of this stage, Jiang Hui was certain that the next stage, or rather the next phase, would inevitably be a group battle, accompanied by fierce fighting.

This speculation made Jiang Hui hesitant to act rashly. His wandering in the forest was not only to explore the way but also to find a suitable breakthrough point.

I've been quite busy lately with job changes and handover, so updates might be a bit infrequent these past few days. Please bear with me!
