The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 63 First Experience in the Holographic Zone
The night before school started, Jiang Hui didn't sleep at all, only managing to nap for a few hours in her mental space. She spent the rest of the time packing and figuring out what else to buy, feeling a strange sense of being back in her student days. Well… she really had been reborn as a student.

It wasn't that she was nervous, but tomorrow was clearly a new beginning for her, a new beginning in her life in this world, so she was still somewhat concerned.

So, for the first time ever, she didn't study the holographic capsule yesterday and went back to her room early to prepare.

Speaking of the holographic capsule, it was also one of Jiang Hui's miscalculations.

She originally bought this thing to learn more about interstellar space, and to get in touch with these kinds of high-tech products that only exist in interstellar space.

After obtaining this thing, Jiang Hui became completely engrossed in the highly developed virtual world unique to interstellar space.

In interstellar space, almost all the holographic technologies that the Earthlings had ever dreamed of have been realized, and even those that the Earthlings never imagined can be achieved.

Moreover, the experience and sensory perception of people entering the holographic zone are virtually indistinguishable from real life, allowing them to travel thousands of miles without leaving home. As a result, interstellar people have developed a whole set of professional jobs in the holographic world, so they don't necessarily have to go out to work in real time; they can support themselves at home—as long as they have the skills.

Furthermore, since holographic technology is ultimately a virtual world, many things that are impossible in the real world, even in interstellar space, can be easily achieved in the holographic zone. Therefore, people can more easily gain satisfaction and realize their self-worth in the holographic world.

This sounds like a paradise for internet addicts and shut-ins.

Jiang Hui suddenly understood why Interstellar Space Management was so strict about managing the accounts of those who hadn't fully awakened, even restricting them by time and location. It was because they were worried that these minors, whose worldviews and values ​​weren't fully formed, would be overly influenced by the holographic world.

After all, whether in interstellar space or on Earth, young people are the future pillars of a nation. If these immature youths devote their time to virtual illusions and immerse themselves in a fantasy world, then this nation is not far from its demise.

In his previous life, Jiang Hui was a relatively mature member of society and had long since passed the stage of being easily tempted and immersed in entertainment.

Unexpectedly, she was still attracted by the diverse entertainment options and projects available in the interstellar space, and became somewhat addicted.

It wasn't until she received the admission notice from Beska Intermediate Academy last week that Jiang Hui realized she had been immersed in the holographic zone for several days in a row. Every time she went in, she completely lost track of time, and hadn't been studying properly lately.

Looking back now, aside from the fleeting joy of experiencing the new technology, she hadn't actually done anything. This past week hadn't been as meaningful as the first few days after she arrived in interstellar space.

What have I been doing?! Jiang Hui deeply reflected on her recent decadent lifestyle.

It wasn't as serious as she thought. The interstellar holographic zone wasn't just about games. After all, it was a virtual social zone open to everyone, so it naturally offered a wide range of activities, including work, study, food, music, entertainment, and literature. There were also interstellar-themed activities such as mechs, starships, military simulation games, and super-exciting simulated Star Wars games.

Interstellar beings can enter the holographic zone through holographic pods and freely set their own appearance and even gender, and then freely choose to move around in the nine basic domains of the holographic zone.

They can shop, enjoy gourmet food, and customize beautiful outfits to wear online within the holographic zone. They can also work remotely through the intelligent platform built within the holographic zone, and there are various large-scale games available for relaxation. Among these, the most popular area for Awakened is the simulated mech battle zone. Many Awakened actively initiate battles here, and the zone regularly hosts mech battles of various scales, including individual and team competitions. Winners have the opportunity to receive prize money and even university study opportunities provided by the organizers.

The former was naturally Jiang Hui's main activity area. She spent a lot of time trying out the various functions of the holographic zone, experiencing all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation. She also played several of the most popular holographic games in the interstellar world.

She had only been to the mecha battle simulator area once. It wasn't that Jiang Hui wasn't interested; it was just that the place wasn't accessible to ordinary people, and she couldn't resist going there on the very first day.

When they entered, they found themselves surrounded by tall, imposing figures. And, perhaps to bolster their own courage, they were all portrayed as fierce and unapproachable, making Jiang Hui, who hadn't been properly trained, seem like a malnourished little cabbage, completely out of place and quite stressful.

Of course, Jiang Hui also knew that the holographic zone was limited by technology. Apart from the simulated combat field that allowed the conversion of mental energy, ordinary people could not attack each other.

Furthermore, attacks on each other in the simulated battlefield are restricted. Once an opponent concedes defeat, further attacks are prohibited, and killing is strictly forbidden, as this could cause mental disorder or even brain death in the awakened individual in real life. Anyone who defies these rules may receive a ticket from the holographic police, and in severe cases, may face real-world detention.

So she doesn't really need to be afraid. In real life, she may still encounter criminals, but the holographic zone is basically under full surveillance. The behavior of all interstellar people who upload their consciousness is almost transparent to the entire main brain system.

But as soon as she entered, whether she was being watched or for some other reason, she was bombarded with over a dozen challenges before she could even get a good look at the scenery of the area.

Jiang Hui: ?!

Before she could even reject the challenge, another wave of challenges came flooding in, overwhelming her backend. Had she stirred up a hornet's nest, or was her name too arrogant? Neither. Her ID was simply "Contentment Brings Happiness," typical of middle-aged groups, even her profile picture was a plain landscape, and her appearance was that of an average-height, ordinary passerby… Could that possibly provoke such hostility?

Jiang Hui didn't quite understand, and was also greatly shocked.

Is this how enthusiastic they are towards newcomers? But the problem is, she doesn't understand mecha combat at all; if she actually takes on the challenge, she'll just be asking for trouble.

So when she saw the increasing number of challenges, she was so frightened that she accidentally left the section.

This world is truly terrifying. She'd rather stay quietly in the ordinary area, enjoying the scenery and delicious food; that would be much more comfortable.

Then Jiang Hui spent the last week or so before school started in the holographic cabin and browsing youth forums.

After a good night's sleep in her mental space, Jiang Hui carefully packed and categorized the things she would need for the start of school and stuffed them into the space button, ready for the start of school tomorrow.
