The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 750 First
Jiang Hui and the others had no idea that their actions had attracted a lot of attention and resulted in a barrage of criticism.

It's not really their fault for not remembering; this is different from the Hillman case. They basically know what they did and how they performed in the general admissions process, so there's no way they wouldn't be admitted. Besides, she's already taken the exams, so there's no point in anxiously waiting any longer. She figured she'd just wait until the time came to confirm whether she'd been accepted by the universities she wanted.

So instead of checking the rankings, the first thing they did was open the admission notices.

However, some things were clearly beyond their expectations. Jiang Hui received more than one admission notice; within seconds, her inbox was flooded with hundreds of messages. Aside from the pinned official notifications, there were also numerous personal messages, from acquaintances and strangers alike—in the blink of an eye, she had received 999+ messages.

Jiang Hui was dumbfounded. It wasn't until the two people beside her asked her that she found her voice: "What...what happened?"

What happened? Neither of them needed to look at her personal terminal to know what had happened, because they both received the answer on their own personal terminals at the same time.

"Oh, you got first place?" Hillman said blankly, his eyes glazed over, as if in a dream.

Clarence looked down at the computer screen, scrolling up and down, carefully examining something, and said, "The number of people taking the test this year is even higher than last year."

First. Jiang Hui extracted some information and felt that it was both unexpected and yet somewhat expected.

Jiang Hui didn't need to look at the admission notice anymore. She directly clicked on the short message sent by the Interstellar Education Bureau. The top of the message listed her file number, name, household registration information, and scores from this unified entrance examination. It was a long string of information, and the most eye-catching part was the serial number at the end, a simple "1" that stood out so clearly.

She scrolled down the page, revealing an attachment displaying the list of this year's top 1,000 candidates. This was much more intuitive; her name was prominently displayed at the top, making Jiang Hui stand out among the candidates whose numbers were displayed as belonging to the central star region.

She wasn't dreaming; this year's top student in the entire star system was admitted through the unified entrance examination.

Jiang Hui had actually expected her ranking wouldn't be too low. When she met with the school's teachers before, they told her that her mid-term grades had actually placed her in the top thirty. She was quite surprised at the time, but who would have thought that she was actually quite capable, ultimately reaching the top of the list.

That's the top spot in the entire region. Although it's only for this year, and the unified enrollment model has many random and uncertain factors, it's still the top spot.

To be honest, Jiang Hui was quite bewildered, because in her previous life she hadn't even gotten into a particularly good 985/211 university in the college entrance exam, but after coming to the interstellar world, she suddenly became the top scorer. Her first reaction wasn't excitement or pride, but rather a strange feeling that she couldn't explain.

However, having grown accustomed to standing out over the years, she quickly calmed down and continued scrolling down.

Unsurprisingly, Huan Xian's name appeared in the next two positions.

To be honest, the other person is the real talent. They achieved this result by slacking off, barely participating in the second half, yet still managed to rank in the top three. If they had gone all out, she wouldn't have had a chance.

Clarence's results were also quite good, placing him in the top ten, ninth, though he probably wasn't entirely satisfied. His gaze was slowly sweeping over the list; it was obvious he was busy analyzing it.

The most surprising result was Hillman, who was probably the unluckiest among the group of friends, not running into a single friend the entire time. Given his level, passing would have been a given, but it was a close call. And since he had a backup plan, it was anyone's guess whether he'd actually take it seriously, but he did, achieving a score in the thousands.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he didn't make it into the top 1000; according to him, he's been fighting alone the whole time, occasionally joining groups to get some support, and then running away when he sees a lot of prey. He's basically a lone hunter, and to still manage to climb into the top 1000 requires considerable effort.

I told you before that the number of people participating in the unified entrance examination is quite large; in fact, ranking in the top ten thousand would be considered a good result.

After congratulating his two friends, Hillman immediately sent a text message to his father and grandfather, looking smug and expecting a reward. Judging from his expression, he probably wanted to buy some collectibles again.

The child went to ask for candy, leaving the two of them staring at each other.

Clarence looked at Jiang Hui and spoke first, "Congratulations." Of course, his expression was far from relaxed.

"Thank you."

"."

"You're not going to include this in the count, are you?!" This guy won't count wins and losses twice.

“No, I already calculated that last time,” the person in question shook their head. “What I want to ask is, when did he—you meet him?”

Although he didn't name names, Jiang Hui knew who he was referring to as soon as she heard him speak. No wonder he looked unhappy; Jiang Hui had thought he was dissatisfied with the ranking. Well, he was—but not because he lost to her.

They'd had so many matches against each other that they knew the wins and losses; if they were truly resentful, they would have been heartbroken long ago, and the other person would have long since come to accept it. He was just being difficult because Huan Xian was so far above him.

It wasn't because Clarence looked down on Huan Xian; everyone knew how capable Huan Xian was. In terms of pure ability, even all of them combined might not be a match for him. While they were leisurely studying at school, he had long been involved in various battlefields, carrying out all sorts of dangerous missions. His combat experience was undeniable; participating in this kind of activity was, frankly, a bit like bullying a child.

Clarence, who was probably aware of this situation, knew that Huan Xian was unlikely to be in any trouble, so as not to disrupt the balance. But even if the other party followed the middle way, if he tried his best and was still so far behind Huan Xian, who was able to hold back, wouldn't that further prove his incompetence?
It's understandable that Jiang Hui could replicate his current state of mind in one evolution.

"It's not what you think. I met him not long before you. He got tired and stopped moving around much later." Jiang Hui felt she had to defend her other friend. He was probably still working as usual when he met her, and only started "slacking off" after meeting her. It wasn't like Clarence imagined, just lying around doing nothing.

If the other person could still achieve this result even if they were to lie down and give up, Clarence would be devastated, let alone Clarence.

"Alright, stop focusing on him. Did you check Xiuwen's profile? He should be on the list of the top 1000 people too." Jiang Hui changed the subject, reminding her friends to pay a little more attention to another friend who had been overlooked.

If we don't check now, those two will call us via their personal communication devices soon. It would be so embarrassing if we realized we'd missed someone when we checked the words.
