The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 625 Troublesome
Of course, Jiang Hui and the other two had no idea what was about to happen over there.

They're still busy climbing the tree.

Not long ago, Jiang Hui climbed the several-hundred-meter-tall tree with almost no effort and could see the green flag several miles away. She was almost certain that it was their next main venue.

Before that, she had to bring the other person up from below. The other person was so worried that he kept pacing back and forth down there, and if Jiang Hui fell down, he would be hit squarely.

But bringing someone up is different from Jiang Hui doing it herself. She's confident with each attempt, growing more determined with each step. But the other person is different; he was skeptical of the rope from the start. Even now that she's up there, convincing him to trust her to come up still seems difficult, and there's a high probability of failure.

If that's the case, then it's better to just disconnect and let the other party leave on their own. After all, they've been cooperating well for so long, and Jiang Hui doesn't believe anyone should follow her indefinitely. The key to cooperation is sincerity.

Jiang Hui figured it wouldn't be good for the two of them to talk from such a height, so she simply slid straight down from the tree.

Little A practically leaped up at her as she came down: "Boss, you scared me to death! You went up there without warning... and then you dared to come down so fast?! What if the rope broke?!"

He was truly astonished by this girl's thick skin. Not only did she climb up, but she also scrambled down in a flash. In less than seven minutes, she had already climbed a tree hundreds of meters high using those seemingly unreliable thin ropes.

Even knowing it's a simulation where no one will actually die, there's really no need to go to such lengths. Compared to this student (395), all those so-called courageous peers he's met in the past are nothing.

Furthermore, people can actually die within the simulated environment; there have been instances of this before. While death experienced in a simulated environment isn't actual death, it still causes a degree of suffering. Damage suffered in the simulated world is reflected mentally, but according to the system's transmission rate, it manifests in the soul body.

It is said that in the past, some people have died tragically in the simulation environment, resulting in bio-stress reactions and a complete collapse of their mental and physical abilities. They were rushed to the hospital, but it was too late; their brainwaves collapsed and disappeared within three weeks, making them beyond saving.

This was a tragedy in interstellar history, as the victim was only thirteen years old, had only recently undergone a second awakening, and was a high-potential awakener. If this hadn't happened, he could have had an infinitely bright future.

But all of that vanished with his death. The place where the incident occurred was a well-known simulation amusement park in the capital, specializing in various themed simulation pods for teenagers, extremely popular due to their excellent effects. The holographic pods they used were from one of the top brands in the entire galaxy, reportedly enjoying extremely high safety standards. It's just unimaginable that such a tragedy would occur.

Therefore, one is not absolutely safe in the simulated world. If you are unlucky and have an accident or perform extreme actions, you may die.

Many schools now offer courses on virtual emergency response plans to prevent such tragedies from happening again. After all, technology should benefit humanity, not be used to take a young life in such an extreme way.

In Xiao A's eyes, this extreme behavior of student 395 was naturally extremely dangerous. Seeing that the person had returned safely, he couldn't care less about his usual carefree demeanor and couldn't help but scold Jiang Hui.

The other party seemed to have taken it to heart and did not refute it.

But at the very end... Little A heard the other person ask, "Are you coming up with me? We'll be moving around up there later."

Do you want to come up with me?

Sitting trembling on the makeshift rope, Xiao A felt like he must be going crazy. Just moments ago he thought Jiang Hui was crazy, but now he thought he was the one who was crazy. He had initially wanted to refuse, but after meeting the other's calm gaze, he inexplicably agreed. In a daze, he climbed onto the makeshift support, and when he came to his senses, he was already suspended in mid-air, while the other person was coming down to weigh him down. Because Xiao A couldn't climb up on his own, he was too afraid to do so.

But now he realized that what he was worried about wasn't those seemingly fragile ropes, but rather whether or not he should climb them...

Oh my god, what if he falls halfway down? How painful would that be? He glanced at the ground with trepidation, and in that one glance, he saw that he was getting higher and higher off the ground, until he was completely out of the safe height.

As he rose, Jiang Hui, who served as the other end of the balance, gradually shrank.

Xiao A's expression gradually changed from panic to numbness. It seemed that it was too late to regret it now, as he had impulsively agreed to go up.

Jiang Hui was unaware of the other person's many hidden thoughts. She acted as the downward force on the other end while injecting her mental energy to reinforce the rope, wrapping it tightly several times to ensure its stability. After all, it was now supporting the weight of two people, and this rope, which in essence might not even be able to support one person, was definitely not enough. Naturally, an extra layer of safety was needed.

Time passed slowly, seemingly a long time had gone by, yet also a short while. With a heart pounding with fear, Xiao A realized he had actually... gone up there?!
It wasn't until his feet touched the relatively wide branches that Xiao A felt a little bit of reality.

Following Jiang Hui's instructions, he first put on a layer of protection and reinforcement for himself, and then treated the bottom of his shoes before looking around.

In fact, through this process, he gradually overcame his previous panic. After all, he wasn't afraid of heights; he just had doubts about the feasibility of the project due to limited tools.

Now that my feet are firmly planted on these tree branches hundreds of meters high, I feel a mix of nervousness and unease, but mostly a surge of indescribable excitement and exhilaration.

This...this is so exciting!

Hearing the rustling sounds below, Xiao A breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that 395 had arrived.

Sure enough, he didn't need to worry about this one; he should worry about himself instead.

When Jiang Hui came up, she found the man staring at her blankly. Thinking he was still not used to it, she comforted him, "The branches at the top are wider. If you don't sway around, you won't get down."

Then she looked back at the spot where she had seen the flag earlier, and paused, realizing... this was tricky.

She had only seen a green flag when she came up, but now—in just a few minutes—seven or eight flags had been raised.

The phantom images of these small flags were raised high, each occupying a different section, subtly conveying a sense of tension.
