The Strongest Brain in the Interstellar

Chapter 48 - Hidden Truths



Jiang Hui wasn’t so much concerned about being an A-level awakened one now or whether she would be forcibly conscripted in the future; instead, she was worried that the technician would uncover her secrets from the residual data. There was even a chance they might discover that a soul from another world had taken over a body that was originally supposed to be dead.

“Ms. Jiang, you can relax a bit; it’s not a major issue. Your brain region has already healed very well, and the slight changes in your brainwave frequency may just be due to external stimuli. This isn’t uncommon; many awakened individuals experience such changes in their brainwaves during their super-awakening phase. Generally, these changes occur to adapt to fluctuations in the intensity of their mental powers.”

Seeing that Jiang Hui seemed genuinely frightened, the Therapist quickly reassured her.

This poor child… she’s suffering from an undeserved calamity. Damage to the brain region is no small matter. If it heals well, that’s fine, but if not, it will inevitably have some impact on her mental abilities.

Fortunately, it seems that the effects are positive; it has turned a misfortune into a blessing by eliminating previous risks.

Without a guardian present, it was natural for a barely awakened child in her teens to be anxious when dealing with such matters.

Although Michael looked like a middle-aged man, he was actually nearly four hundred years old, making him old enough to be the grandfather of children like Jiang Hui. Thus, he felt a greater sense of care for a child around the age of his own grandchildren.

Otherwise, with his status as a senior therapist, there wouldn’t have been a need for him to conduct a re-examination for an ordinary, barely awakened individual. He had come across this case by chance while patrolling a few days earlier and noticed that the medical data interpretation seemed somewhat flawed, prompting him to cover for that young Calet.

This time, he used more advanced instruments for testing and conducted a comprehensive analysis, ultimately arriving at the conclusion.

It was no wonder that Calet hadn’t detected the problem.

The issues related to second awakenings and the brain region’s magnetic field are not something every therapist can handle. The therapist who had previously conducted Jiang Hui’s mental power assessment had clearly not discovered the anomalies either, and thus the records were absent. It was only because Michael used high-precision detection equipment that he was able to barely capture some traces left in the child’s brain region.

However, just as he told Jiang Hui, there was nothing major to worry about. Although the brainwave frequency had changed slightly, the overall baseline had not changed much, and her mental power level had fully stabilized, locking in at an A level very close to A+. If she engaged in some reasonable training methods during the transition from her second to third awakening, she might have the opportunity to reach A+.

If she were to undergo a third awakening, this young lady would have boundless prospects ahead.

Michael was pleased for this partially awakened individual who had gone through such twists and turns.

Jiang Hui, on the other hand, was not so happy. It wasn’t just because she discovered that the mental power of this body was exceptionally high and might disrupt her future plans, since that was still a matter for the future.

Her concern stemmed from Michael’s analysis that the original host’s failure in the second awakening was due to some external interference, whether it be an object, radiation, or some form of high-strength force, either before or during the awakening.

In short, the magnetic field of the original host’s brain region had been influenced by something, leading to the premature awakening and this peculiar outcome.

This analysis felt conspiratorial.

Given the original host’s significant status within her family, she should have been well protected and kept safe, and there should have been no way for her to come into contact with dangerous items.

However, there were no related images to be found in the original host’s memories; all she could recall were very mundane memories, and she had hardly interacted with anyone.

Jiang Hui wondered if she was overthinking it; perhaps no one had intentionally harmed the original host, or it was just a matter of some external influence causing these events.

Nevertheless, the reason the original host had to leave the inner star system and drift away from her family was eventually uncovered.

If that were the case, then the original host’s experience was truly a tragedy.

“However, you may need to continue taking the mental stabilizers for a few more days. Once you stabilize a bit more, and if the next check-up results come back normal, then everything should be fine.”

Just yesterday, she said she wouldn’t have to endure the torment of these mental stabilizers anymore, yet here she was being prescribed another batch. These things were really unpleasant to take… Before she could even put on a pained expression, she heard the other person continue, “During the next check-up, you must pay close attention to the state of your mental energy. Don’t overload yourself. Your brain area still needs proper rest; otherwise, it could affect your future development.”

Overload? What kind of excessive activity could a homebody like her have? She hardly knew how to use her mental energy; she had only tried playing a small game, which felt quite strange, almost like she was driving a force that was more fundamental than physical strength.

But it didn’t feel like it consumed much mental energy, and she didn’t feel anything after coming out. So how could she possibly have an overload situation…

It seemed the other person noticed her confusion and remarked, “You young people always take your strong recovery ability for granted, never treating your health seriously. You don’t realize that if you really push things too far, it will be too late.”

Jiang Hui: ???

This felt like a vague warning, hinting at something.

Then the therapist began telling her about a bold young person who had hidden from their parents and family, overextending their mental energy for a long time in hopes of achieving what was described as a “god-level breakthrough” in their readings, which led to brain region wear and ultimately a permanent decline in their mental power level. The therapist warned her to be sure to protect her brain area.

“…Although the Star Network limits the login time for partially awakened individuals, the situation in the holographic area is complicated, making it impossible to set accurate protective measures for those individuals. By the time the Star Network detects the issue and kicks someone out, it’s likely too late. At your age, you still have plenty of time. Even after your third awakening, there will be many opportunities to enhance your mental power, so don’t make such foolish mistakes…” The older therapist earnestly advised Jiang Hui.

At this point, Jiang Hui could only nod. She really couldn’t explain that she only learned about holograms today from the other person.

Speaking of which, she hadn’t even considered the existence of holograms. This concept, which had once been merely an idea among humans on Blue Star, had actually become a reality in the future of the starry universe. But she truly had no concept of it because the original host’s memories in this regard were completely missing and blank. She had always thought that the network technology in the star universe hadn’t reached this level. It turned out it really existed; she just hadn’t known about it.

So, when she saw someone shouting “Let’s have a match” from upstairs to downstairs on the forum the day before yesterday, it might really have meant going to the holographic area to fight.
