The Strongest Brain in the Interstellar

Re-examination.
It turns out that Jiang Hui had unknowingly been in the interstellar realm for several days.

When she was discharged from the hospital, they informed her to remember to return for a follow-up check-up. Mr. Calet had also prescribed her medication for five days. She had just taken a dose before breakfast, and after finishing the last dose tomorrow morning, that would mark the end of her treatment.

No wonder interstellar people have a slight change in expression when talking about stabilizers for mental health. To be honest, the medicine was not very pleasant; it made her feel unwell all day long.

Of course, it wasn’t as bad as that day; she wasn’t sure if it was because it was her first time taking it, but the reaction was particularly intense. The feeling was akin to having a heart attack—she felt that if she experienced it again, she might actually end up with a heart problem.

Later, although she still felt her heart being squeezed and her body temperature fluctuating, with congestion in her circulatory system, her mental state would suddenly feel weak and then swell with pressure. In short, her spirit felt as if it was trapped in a bag that didn’t belong to her. Even though she was in her own body, she felt like she was being tossed around, almost like losing her soul.

Moreover, every time she took the medication, Jiang Hui felt an almost prickling sensation in her mental capacity, densely packed, particularly sensitive areas were being aggravated, which was very uncomfortable.

A stabilizer? What kind of “stabilizer” was this? Not only did it fail to stabilize her, but it also completely disrupted her mind, which was calm like a deep pool of water, creating chaos instead—there was absolutely no stabilizing effect at all.

Jiang Hui felt that based on the reactions and effects, this medication would be more appropriately named “Restlessness Agent.”

The experience of taking this medication was indeed quite poor, but it wouldn’t be fair to say it had no benefits at all. Jiang Hui felt that her memory began to improve significantly after taking this medication; it got better and better, and her thoughts became clearer and more transparent.

This wasn’t to say that the drug had the miraculous effect of enhancing intelligence. If anything, the medication seemed to polish her existing cognitive abilities, giving her a sense of finally opening her eyes to see the world clearly. She felt as if she had gained enlightenment, like a pearl covered in dust being thoroughly cleaned to reveal its brilliant luster.

In short, it was a feeling that was difficult to describe. The sensation of gradually unlocking her intelligence and mental capacity was subtle yet strange—an unforgettable experience.

No wonder interstellar people had such a love-hate relationship with this primitive type of medication, filled with flaws—it made sense.

Thinking about this substance, she realized she had only one dose left. Unless she had a specific condition, there would be no more to take; Jiang Hui felt a mix of happiness and a hard-to-explain sense of loss.

She carefully described her general experiences and symptoms related to taking the mental stabilizers to the gentle nurse. She also informed her that she was mostly feeling fine now.

The nurse, named Sang Sang, diligently recorded all of her descriptions in detail. Jiang Hui speculated that this information would likely be included in her medical records and submitted to the doctor for her follow-up examination, allowing for an overall assessment of her recovery.

“Alright, Ms. Jiang, we have understood your situation here. Your reactions to the medication are generally quite normal. Many patients taking similar medications experience similar effects, so you don’t need to worry excessively,” the nurse comforted her gently.

“May I ask if you have time to come to the District Hospital for a re-examination tomorrow at 2 PM? We will arrange for Therapist Michael from the same department to conduct the follow-up examination. Please don’t worry; all of our therapists have been vetted and possess reliable medical expertise, so changing therapists will not affect your re-examination in any way,” she explained.

“Sure, that works for me,” Jiang Hui replied, noting that the nurse had said quite a bit regarding the change of therapists.

However, Jiang Hui did not mind the change of therapist as much as the other party imagined, because in the Blue Star where she used to live, the profession of doctors was quite fluid. Doctors have limited energy and cannot wait around twenty-four hours a day. It’s also difficult to find the same doctor every time you go for a check-up. As long as there is a medical record and file, it’s usually okay no matter which doctor takes over.

Of course, there are situations where a single attending physician follows you throughout your treatment. But this typically only happens if you are wealthy enough to hire a doctor to follow you around, or if you have a serious illness that requires specialized treatment from one physician. However, most people would probably not want to encounter the latter scenario.

As for the change of therapists, Jiang Hui had no objections. Seeing that it was also a matter of timing, she nodded in agreement.

“Alright, I will help you make an appointment now. A detailed message will be sent to your light brain shortly. You just need to arrive at the specified time and place. If you have any questions, you can call the service number above for further inquiries,” the nurse said.

Jiang Hui nodded, indicating that she understood.

The nurse seemed to remember something and added, “There’s one more thing I need to remind you of, Ms. Jiang. Because the re-examination will require large diagnostic instruments, these machines will comprehensively test various functional data of your body. One of the tests will involve measuring your mental strength, which generally requires fasting for half a day. Additionally, you shouldn’t take any stimulating drugs, like mental stabilizers, within four hours prior to the test.”

Fasting was understandable; it simply meant going without food. Jiang Hui was surprised that even after so many years of human development, physical examinations still followed the same old rules without any changes. This part was quite simple.

However, the part about the mental stabilizers meant she would need to take them early. Since her appointment was at two o’clock in the afternoon, if she took the medication late in the morning, she might end up waiting there until the fasting period was over.

Worried that she might forget, Jiang Hui specifically set two timed reminders on her light brain, which would automatically pop up to remind her to do certain tasks.

After the nurse finished explaining everything, she closed the light brain and ended the conversation.

Once Jiang Hui closed her light brain, she fell into a brief state of daze. The things mentioned by the nurse brought back many memories—not her own as Jiang Hui from Blue Star, but the lingering memories of the original owner of this body.

The term “mental strength testing” was unfamiliar to Jiang Hui, but for the original owner, it was an inescapable shadow that had cast a tragic pall over her life.

The main reason the original owner came to the lower-level star system was due to the mental strength test that took place six months ago. It was that test that made her realize her somewhat awkward position within her family, prompting her to start seriously contemplating her future path.
