nThe library closed at 10 o’clock. Lu Zhou had just enough time to finish “Advanced Algebra” and “C Language Fifth Edition”.

nOn the way out of the library, Lu Zhou glanced at the mission panel and saw that there were only nine hours left. He felt a little disappointed.

nHe barely felt that fifteen hours had passed by. He had never felt time passed by like this while reading textbooks before.

nAfter a full day of studying, he discovered an issue. When he finished reading a book, that book’s value score would decrease to a single digit. Not just this, but other similar books’ value scores would also decrease to different amounts. On the other hand, books that were previously at a very low or even zero value scores started to increase to various amounts.

nFor example, the “Di Donne Foundation of Modern Analysis” book only had a value score of 10 in the beginning, but now it had more than doubled to a value score of 30.

nAs he walked home, Lu Zhou could not help but think of what would happen to his body if his mathematics level went from zero to one.

nOmniscient?

nAble to solve questions instantly?

nOr would his brain be filled with the knowledge that he did not even know existed? Would he became a legendary mathematician, similar to the likes of Chen Jingrun?

nLu Zhou thought about this and did not feel excited at all. Rather, he felt nervous.

nThe human brain was limited. It was akin to how one could not store 2TB of information into a 1TB hard drive. He was scared that the system would force his brain to store the extra information and it might destroy his brain.

nOf course, Lu Zhou knew that worrying about it was pointless.

nOnly the system knew what would happen exactly.

nAnyway, the answer would be revealed tomorrow. He just had to get a good sleep tonight and relaxed his overheated brain.

n…

nUser, congratulations on completing the mission. First mission prize bonus: Additional lucky draw ticket.

nMission completion details: Books read in the library: “New Mathematical Analysis Lectures”: 100 value score, “Higher Mathematics Tu Boyun Edition” : 100 value score, “C Language Fifth Edition”: 100 value score, “Nickelsky Mathematical Analysis Translated Version”: 57 value score, “Level Four English Detail Explanations”: 0 value score. Total value score earned: 357. Grade: B .

nMission reward: 500 mathematics experience points, 100 information science points, 100 general points, one lucky draw ticket (90% garbage, 9% samples, 1% blueprints)

nAfter another day of painstakingly reading books, Lu Zhou finally finished the mission.

nCongratulations.

nLu Zhou came out of the library feeling excited. He found a spot near the dull basketball courts where the security cameras could not see him. He looked around to see if anyone was near, exhaled a deep breath and opened up his characteristic panel.

nLu Zhou was a bit disappointed that he did not level up but he still had the two prize draw tickets. His disappointment vanished immediately.

nWhat prize could the high tech system give?

nHe was eagerly looking forward to it!

nThe two tickets had different odds. The first mission bonus had an odds of 75% garbage, 19% samples, and 5% blueprints.

nAs for what the samples were for? Lu Zhou did not know either. However, given the type of system, it was definitely not something like a toy car or a water gun. It had to be related to high tech and different from “garbage”.

nOf course, a little tech was enough. Even if he got a starship, he would not have the space to park it. Not to mention, he would have no idea what to do with it.

nHe would not get something like a bug spray, right?

nAnyway, he began the lucky draw.

nHe started with the inferior lucky draw – the mission reward!

n“Let’s go!”

nA spinning wheel appeared in front of him. Lu Zhou could not read the words written on it. He could only see the blurry colors.

nHe held his breath. Looking straight at the wheel, he focused on the path of the spinning arrow.

nSuddenly, his brain lit up. He immediately followed his instincts and shouted, “Stop!”

nThe arrow continued to spin for a few more seconds before gradually slowing down.

nCongratulations, you won the garbage prize.

nYou won a can of coke. Don’t be discouraged. Keep trying.

nF*ck you!

nBlaming the system was of no use. There was more important stuff to do!

nHe saw next to the general points was coke (garbage). The impetuous Lu Zhou quickly left the system space. He checked again to see if anyone was around him. He then looked at his hand and began to think.

ncoke coke coke coke…

nDing!

nWithout any warning, a can of coke appeared in Lu Zhou’s hand when he opened his eyes.

nThe next moment, his facial expression was indescribably strange.

nThe **?

nHe sensed that the universe had a contradiction. The law of conservation of mass faced an unprecedented challenge.

nHow would he use modern physics principles to explain this can of coke?

nLu Zhou did not know.

nMaybe he had to be above level 10 in “high tech” to understand.

nAnyway, after seeing the can of coke, he was finally convinced. This system was not part of his imagination. It was real. He could affect the physical world with his own brain.

nHe should not think about the nonsense for the time being.

nLu Zhou cracked open the can, took a big sip and exhaled after.

n“Ah!”

nEven though the system classified this as a garbage prize, the flavor of the coke rendered him speechless. Lu Zhou usually did not like to drink sodas but he still licked his lips from it.

n“Future? There’s a brand of coke called Future? Whatever, who cares…”

nLu Zhou shook his head and threw the can into the trash.

nHe had repeatedly examined the can but it was just a normal aluminum can. Other than the fact that it could satisfy people, there was nothing high tech about it. Even the design and packaging had a “vintage and retro” feel.

nThe only destination for the can was the recycling plant.

nLu Zhou went to wash his face at the water taps near the basketball courts. He sat back down in the shade and entered the system space again.

nThis was his last lucky draw ticket and he took a deep breath. Like a gambler, his eyes were red as he pressed the button without any hesitation.

n“Let’s go!”

n“Stop!”

nThe arrow started to slow down and Lu Zhou’s heart was pounding in his throat.

nWhen the arrow stopped, so did Lu Zhou’s heartbeat.

nCongratulations, you won the blueprint!

nLu Zhou was ecstatic. It was all because he washed his face!

nEven with only a 5% chance, he managed to get lucky and won!

nBlueprint awarded – Formula and proof for Mersenne prime number distributions.

nLu Zhou was stunned.

nWTF?
