The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

How did Jiang Hui get in? She followed the coordinates.

This matter is naturally inextricably linked to Zhou Xiuwen, after all, only this guy had such incredible luck that he fell into the warehouse line. Without his pinpoint location, even if Jiang Hui were a genius, he wouldn't have been able to find the location of this warehouse line.

Those people were right; Zhou Xiuwen did not take anything out of this mobile bug after falling into it.

It wasn't because he didn't want to take it or was too lazy to take it, well... maybe that was part of it. But ultimately, he knew that the consequences of taking it would far outweigh the consequences of him remaining inactive.

If it were an ordinary examinee, falling into such a place, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything but grab some things. But the problem is that the person who went in wasn't just anyone, but—Zhou Xiuwen.

Who is Zhou Xiuwen? He is the only son of the legendary leader of the empire and the heir to that massive military group. His education from a young age was also different from that of ordinary students.

He doesn't necessarily need to have outstanding abilities, his abilities don't necessarily need to be refined to a specific skill, and he doesn't even need to be excellent in the conventional sense. But what he needs to learn is far more complex than that.

Zhou Xiuwen has only average talent in information and data engineering and can't be said to have done much research. At the very least, he can't quickly and accurately locate a simulated fixed point, while his good friend Huan can.

Huan Xian possesses extremely advanced StarNet technology; if needed, he could even rival some senior data engineers. However, he wouldn't easily use these skills unless absolutely necessary. For him, most of his current abilities are merely preparation for mission execution, and even his very existence is for this purpose.

Jiang Hui and the others had never seen the other party use these skills for their own benefit or advantage... well, except when they were encouraged by their friends to take the classes.

However, over time, the other party did teach them a skill. Of course, the purpose wasn't to teach them to steal or do anything illegal; it was purely to teach them some "survival skills." After all, Jiang Hui and his group had really bad luck, and sometimes knowing a little something extra could really save their lives.

Zhou Xiuwen had learned a trick from Huan Xian's line; he wasn't an expert, but it was enough. Although he didn't take anything, he secretly made a small mark on the fixed aiming platform of this warehouse line.

The mark wasn't obvious, and it wasn't even strongly connected to him. If he went far away, he wouldn't be able to contact this place, and it would eventually disappear completely over time. But that was enough; that was the effect Zhou Xiuwen wanted to achieve.

He had also been exposed to this type of system before and knew that if he tampered with even a single bullet inside, the storage line would likely be identified and shut down by the system, and the engineers in the back office would block it off so that no one could enter or leave.

He could have easily taken some money on the spot; this was the system's default, immediate-effective principle, and it was something he was rightfully entitled to, so no one could say anything about it.

Everything else was fine; at the time, Zhou Xiuwen hadn't figured out how he wanted to make a living, so he just took things one step at a time, taking what he needed. He could even leave without doing anything and suffer no loss. But the mecha was different—

The number of mechs distributed by the exam organizers is limited and strictly controlled. Even if the Emperor himself came, he could only take one mech per person; any more would be impossible to take.

There are so many mechs here... how could one be enough? It would be a complete waste of a great opportunity.

So Zhou Xiuwen gave this opportunity to someone capable of doing it, and that's how Jiang Hui came along. Coincidentally, Jiang was the best at data technology among Huan Xian's friends. Although she was far from Huan Xian's level, she was already quite skilled at using mental power to tamper with information and data; that's how she crippled 011 using data streams.

As everyone saw, Zhou Xiuwen simply handed the stall over to Jiang Hui—and Jiang Hui brought a group of people here to scavenge for things.

The mental energy markings Zhou Xiuwen created have been there for a long time, and he left them cleanly, making them difficult to find. Even if some traces were found, tracing the information engineering construction route to locate the warehouse line would still be challenging.

Jiang Hui was incredibly lucky to have sensed the location described by Zhou for a while before confirming it. Then, he used the energy flow to pull himself back into the storage line.

The engineers in the backend initially didn't even notice the little guy lingering around nearby. No one could have imagined someone would be embedding mental energy markers in the gaps of the data stream, nor could they have foreseen that someone would later try to use this thread of mental energy to trace the location of the storage line.

These two guys think so differently from ordinary people that it's impossible to predict their actions.

Finally, before anyone could react, Jiang Hui led a group of more than a dozen people and slipped right into the warehouse production line. By then, it was too late for the engineers in the back office to defend against it.

In accordance with the system's principle of immediate activation, they could only cut off the visual programming, then try to speed up the clearing and extraction process, and completely shut down the storage line. After all, the fact that this storage line could experience two bugs simultaneously meant the vulnerability was truly significant.

Jiang Hui, possessing some knowledge of information manipulation, sensed the changes in the airflow data and guessed that the items inside would soon disappear. She immediately intervened, using her mental power to intercept the items. After all, they had traveled a long way here; they couldn't have come for nothing, could they?
They weren't greedy; since thirteen people came, they happily accepted the thirteen mechs.

"Sigh, she's found another loophole. Seriously, who taught this little one?" Someone outside couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you really think this loophole is so easy to exploit? Haven't you seen anyone else try to take advantage of it?! I think she calculated it perfectly, she's tightened her grip so tightly, she doesn't leave a single flaw."

"Do you guys think there might actually be a dark horse at the top this time?!" If those guys, who're fighting tooth and nail like roosters, saw this, wouldn't they be furious? After all, they've all meticulously prepared, hoping their junior would rise to the top. I heard some even had their drafts ready, and this is what happens...

If a completely unknown young person were to rise to such a position, the major powers would likely lose face.

"Who knows?"

The voice that responded this time was somewhat distant, but it didn't come from anyone around them. The group of people who heard this were startled and looked in the direction of the voice—and saw an elder sitting upright with deep eyes staring at the person on the screen, his expression unreadable, and they didn't know what he was thinking.
