The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 684 It goes without saying
Upon hearing this command that went directly to his mental field, Kas instinctively wanted to obey, but then immediately realized... it was her.

Only the other party has such terrifying control over him, leaving him no room to refuse.

Although he didn't particularly like or respect the other party, he couldn't change the fact that he had become someone else's caged bird or sparrow in someone else's palm.

Better to live a miserable life than die a good death. He wanted to stay and watch the show, so... no, he still had to ask.

Taking advantage of the moment when they overturned a group attempting to sneak past, Kass relayed a message: 'Are you sure? But I don't think 2856 can hold out for long. If I were to engage that mech right now, I'd soon be caught in a pincer attack.'

This is his biggest concern. He also wants to fight against strong opponents, but he wouldn't step into such an obvious trap if he had a choice.

But now Jiang Hui is telling him to step into this trap... It's not that he's afraid, but he needs to know what tricks the other party has up their sleeve. He can't just jump in and die like this, completely clueless.

"Don't worry, I'll handle the other side. I won't leave you to deal with them alone," the man said.

There wasn't just one mech on the other side. He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but ultimately said nothing more: "Okay, whatever you say."

"This 011 is not bad either. He seems to have some skills, and I know whose child he is." Ye Min looked him over again and then took a liking to another special individual player on the field.

This "ability" doesn't just mean the literal meaning; it actually refers to the person's demeanor, which suggests they possess some of the qualities of someone in the military. Even without formal training, they have a certain understanding of military matters. These individuals are easy to identify; their style differs from ordinary people, and they are usually not from humble backgrounds.

In contrast, Jiang Hui has shown remarkable talent in various aspects, but it's also clear that she hasn't received systematic training and carries traces of various factions. She will need proper adjustments after enrolling to become even better.

However, 011 is clearly a very mature student.

This isn't to say he performed exceptionally well, but rather that his style and way of thinking are very mature. Clearly, he not only underwent training beforehand but also received guidance from experienced mentors and honed his skills over a long period to reach this level. The school will need to make adjustments later, but not drastic ones.

"...That seems to be a child from the Yi family. Our school recruited him before, but he followed his elders' wishes and applied to the First Military Academy. It is said that someone there is already willing to take him under their wing, and even the preliminary selection squad has been decided," Fu Xuan said.

"It's been decided so early?" Not only Ye, but Simon next to him also looked at him with some suspicion. Because it was strange, very few students would decide on their preliminary legions so early. This is not a random selection, and choosing the wrong one could affect their fate for the next ten or even several decades.

"...It is said that his father was a high-ranking general in the First Army Corps."

"Wait, could he be Yi Zhou's son?" Ye Min asked as if she had suddenly remembered something.

The surname Yi is quite common in the interstellar community, with several branches, so Ye Min didn't initially think of Yi Zhou. However, when Fu Xuan mentioned a high-ranking general in the First Legion with the surname "Yi," she immediately thought of someone—a certain annoying guy.

Ye Min knew from the other person's expression that they had asked the real person—Yin Zhou's son. No wonder his mannerisms and behavior seemed so familiar, and just as annoying. "Forget it, never mind. He's not a student at our school, let others worry about him," Ye Min said, turning her head to look at something else. Colonel Simon, standing nearby, glanced at 011, seemingly lost in thought.

Simon had heard that Yi Zhou had a son, but as far as he knew, the other man had two sons. Simon had met him before for some reason and felt that his style was different from this man's.

The other son's background seemed less honorable, and few people knew about it. For some reason, he had a gut feeling that this person was the other one.

1036 was considered one of Xilai's more capable individual soldiers. Contrary to what others thought, Xilai didn't send 1036 to contain or balance 011.

Xi Lai was arrogant and lacked such delicate sensibilities; he had absolute confidence in his own control. He didn't care about those at the bottom, and naturally, he had no interest in controlling them.

He sent this person simply to help, since hand-to-hand combat and mech combat are completely different. Although mech courses are quite common now, and schools everywhere offer a series of mech courses regardless of their resources, anyone who has actually worked with mechs knows that only truly talented and skilled individuals can pilot them. A half-baked person, even with a powerful tool like a mech, would probably only be able to fill a spot or be a hindrance.

1036 was thus sent as an assistant under these circumstances. He had already completed three awakenings in reality and possessed A-level mental strength, making him a high-potential awakener with the potential to be admitted to the First Military Academy.

Before taking the unified exam, he was considered one of the best in mecha piloting at school. While not the top, he was certainly quite good.

But compared to Kashi, he was completely outmatched. Kashi's success in the ST simulation domain wasn't just based on empty talk; he was top-notch not only in practical experience but also in emergency response and strategic thinking. So, honestly, most of the candidates who entered the system's unified exam were far inferior to him.

Jiang Hui was able to take him down by surprise; if they had faced each other head-on, she probably would have found it very difficult.

1036 watched as 2856 was chased and fled for his life by Aping, laughing at Yara for being nothing special. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Kashi on the other side, and even held a hint of contempt for him. Little did he know that in the instant of the exchange, Kashi seized his weakness and delivered a blow to his face.

Although 1036 was discovered in time, it was too late to react and was immediately hit by a sensor point on the side of the mech's ear used for conduction.

The mecha-related technologies used in the system are similar to those in reality. Although it didn't actually hit him, the feeling of being hit in the ear and instantly losing contact with the dead silence made 1036 instantly unable to distinguish what was going on.

Kass, of course, wouldn't give him a chance to recover, and pressed his advantage by attacking his lower body.

The two mechs began to fight fiercely, kicking up clouds of dust. People around them had to evacuate the danger zone and temporarily cease fighting to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The real climax of this battle is just beginning.
