Chapter 167: Chapter 125: Three-Body Civilization and Laser Weapon

And so he repeated the process three times.

300,000 Scholar Index points brought him 18 “Little Blue Bottles” and 12 “Little Red Bottles”.

Little Blue Bottles are Endurance Spray.

Little Red Bottles are Charm Perfume.

Turns out, as long as it’s a lottery, it’s always a massive trap!

But right now, Shen Qiushan was loaded, so he decided to do another two rounds just to try his luck.

Anyway, these “Little Blue Bottles” actually have a big use now. To some extent, these could even count as his tool to “handle” his future father-in-law.

Because this thing could only be supplied by Shen Qiushan.

Totally unique.

Absolutely rare goods.

And judging from Lin Moxuan’s reaction, Shen Qiushan could totally gift this stuff to some important people.

For example, if he wanted to get in good with some leader.

Just give this as a gift and he’d definitely get a “response”.

Come on, what man wouldn’t care about stuff like this!

Ding!

Congrats! You’ve won a novel from Z Space-Time!

The system has automatically stored it in your backpack. You can read or download it anytime!

Just when Shen Qiushan was prepared to collect fifty consolation prizes,

the lottery system finally showed a bit of conscience!

He won another novel.

Shen Qiushan couldn’t wait to open his system backpack.

Sure enough, right after the old novel, there was a new one added.

The title: “Three-Body Civilization”!

Total word count: 880,000!

That little?

Shen Qiushan frowned—the previous novel was over 3 million words.

Based on Penguin Novels’ paid model, the more words, the more money the author makes.

For example, for the current ongoing novel, Shen Qiushan updates about 15,000 words every day.

Income is pretty substantial.

And if he keeps this update rate, an 880,000-word novel would be finished in two months.

So there wouldn’t be much money to be made.

So seeing that this novel was only 880,000 words, Shen Qiushan was kind of disappointed.

He opened the new novel and started reading.

Chapter one, two, three…

Shen Qiushan quit the system backpack right away.

Muttering under his breath: What kind of trash book is this!

What the hell is this writing!

Shen Qiushan just couldn’t get into it!

If it weren’t a system reward, he probably wouldn’t have made it past Chapter two. Even as he forced himself to read deeper, he just felt lost, couldn’t see what was so special about the book.

Looks like this “Z Space-Time” isn’t all good stuff.

This reward is a total waste!

Shen Qiushan sighed to himself, and then, still not willing to give up, did another ten consecutive draws.

Ding!

Congrats to the host for receiving a “rare reward”!

Z Space-Time “Laser Weapon” complete technology and blueprints!

Holy shit!!

This…

Shen Qiushan couldn’t help blurting out, jumping straight off his bed.

Laser weapon?

Isn’t that only found in sci-fi movies?

There’s actually such a thing in real life?

Shen Qiushan hurriedly opened the system backpack.

Sure enough, there was a new folder called “Laser Weapon”.

Upon opening, it was full of PPTs and blueprints!

Shen Qiushan clicked into a random PPT—it was a super detailed intro of laser weapon theory.

But Shen Qiushan is basically a physics newbie. Even though the PPT was detailed, some concepts still went over his head.

Close PPT.

Shen Qiushan took a deep, intense breath.

Even though he didn’t understand this yet, he’s not stupid—he knew this stuff was worth a fortune.

Hell, it could easily be priceless.

If he handed it over to the authorities…

He’d definitely get unimaginable rewards!

But now’s not the time. He has to master all this, learn the principles inside and out.

He needs to be able to explain everything in the PPTs and blueprints to actual experts, and once he hits that level, then he can bring this stuff out.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain where it all came from.

Worst-case scenario, he’d end up as a lab rat!

Just like that, Shen Qiushan suddenly found his university major.

Remember earlier in the day, Liu Hongyu asked him what major he wanted to pick.

Shen Qiushan himself didn’t know yet—he hadn’t thought it through.

Now he’s decided: electronic science and technology!

But Shen Qiushan applied for the history track in the college entrance exam, so technically he can’t pick a science major.

But Liu Hongyu already told him: he can freely pick any major, and after enrollment, Liu would help him switch to another major.

This condition was even written in the contract!

Now that he’s got a direction,

Shen Qiushan suddenly had a new goal to chase!

Strengthen the country with science!

Right now, in China, both high schools and universities pay more attention to science majors.

As a guy with a cheat code, obviously Shen Qiushan’s gonna join the science squad.

If he sticks to humanities, he’d be wasting his cheat code!

Novels or literary works are mostly just for killing time.

The highest praise is usually something like “spiritual nourishment”.

But learning science is different.

Technology changes lives!

Industrial revolution, electronics revolution, information revolution.

Every new wave sweeps in.

Life for everyone is turned upside down!

As the saying goes: master math, physics, chemistry, and you’ll travel the world!

On the big scale, it benefits all humanity.

On the small scale, it helps contribute to national scientific progress!

Three days later.

Sanjiang High School.

Today is college application day.

Sanjiang City doesn’t require students to apply for university while at school.

But most students still choose to come to school.

Because the school’s got special guidance teachers for applications.

Homeroom teachers will also give advice based on student grades and last year’s admission lines for different colleges.

In the computer lab.

Under the watchful eyes of his ex-lover, Chen Xiangyu, Shen Qiushan filled out the application for Sanjiang University, majoring in Chinese Language and Literature.

Of course, this was just something he filled out at random. He already made arrangements with Liu Hongyu to switch him to electronic science and technology later.

As Shen Qiushan filled out his application, his siblings Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao also locked in their choices.

Shen Yanran picked Sanjiang University, majoring in journalism.

Shen Yixiao opted for sports training at Sanjiang University.

Almost at the same time,

Xu Pipa, who took leave to come to school and apply, was being called in for a talk by Principal Wang Guangqing.

Right now, in the office, besides Wang Guangqing was Xu Pipa’s homeroom teacher Zhao Jinpeng.

“Pipa, it’s really a shame if you don’t apply for Qingbei with your score.”

“You can pick almost any major you want. If you go to Qingbei, you’ll definitely have more prospects than staying in Sanjiang University.”

“We teachers genuinely care about your future. Don’t make a hasty mistake and regret it for life!”

Zhao Jinpeng was practically pleading.

But Xu Pipa didn’t respond at all, as if she hadn’t heard a word Zhao Jinpeng said.

Seeing this, Wang Guangqing spoke up: “Pipa, one of us is your homeroom teacher and the other is the principal.”

“You really think we’re trying to trick you?”

“We called you in because we seriously don’t want to see you throw away such a great opportunity.”

“That’s Qingbei!”

“How many students dream of going there!”

“Others can’t because their scores aren’t enough, but you, you’ve got the marks and you just won’t go!”

“I’m anxious for you!”

With that, Wang Guangqing sighed heavily,

looking thoroughly pained.

But Xu Pipa still didn’t say a word.

Smart Little Mushroom Head—there’s no way she doesn’t know what Wang Guangqing and Zhao Jinpeng are up to.

They talk big, saying they care about her.

But in reality, it’s just all about their own achievements!

If Xu Pipa gets into Qingbei, Sanjiang High’s LED sign at the gate will broadcast the news on loop.

That’s a big feather in Principal Wang Guangqing’s cap.

For homeroom teacher Zhao Jinpeng, it means more bonuses.

Xu Pipa would also be his living billboard for recruiting students at cram schools!

“Pipa, why aren’t you saying a word?”

“Did you not hear what me and Principal Wang said?”

Seeing Xu Pipa just sit there silent, Zhao Jinpeng started getting nervous.

“Teacher Zhao, Principal Wang.”

“If you don’t have anything else, I’ll go submit my application.”

Xu Pipa stood up from the sofa, and then politely bowed to the two of them.

“Wait a moment!”

“Pipa, what’s that supposed to mean?”

“Do you agree with our advice or not?”

Zhao Jinpeng pressed, frowning.

“Pipa, if you apply to Qingbei,”

“The school will give you a ten thousand yuan scholarship!”

Seeing Xu Pipa completely unmoved, Wang Guangqing switched to bribes.

And finally, Xu Pipa opened her mouth: “I can take responsibility for my own choices!”

“Thank you, Principal Wang. Thank you, Teacher Zhao.”

With that, Xu Pipa walked straight out of the office.

Once her petite figure disappeared, Wang Guangqing sighed in frustration: “That kid really is stubborn.”

Zhao Jinpeng shook his head, equally defeated: “I remember Xu Pipa’s target was Qingbei before.”

“Why did she suddenly switch to Sanjiang University?”

“I really don’t get it!”

Wang Guangqing waved him off: “If she doesn’t want to apply, we can’t force her.”

“Teacher Zhao, go back to work.”

“I’ll be leaving then.”

Zhao Jinpeng nodded, and left the office too.

After the students finish applying,

they start gathering in small groups to take photos in the school grounds as mementos.

And the teens posing together have no idea this group shot might be their last time seeing each other in their whole lives.

By the flowerbeds on the track,

Shen Yixiao and Luo Yao were holding hands.

The two weren’t hiding anymore. After all, graduation’s over—no need to sneak around with their romance.

“Baby, when I go off to Beijing, we’ll be far apart.”

“Everyone online says long-distance is a big test. You won’t be flirting behind my back, right?”

Luo Yao put all Beijing universities on her application; she’s aiming for Beijing.

Because Beijing is China’s culture capital—working in arts there gives you way more opportunities.

“No worries!”

“Am I that kind of person?”

Shen Yixiao puffed up his chest and, holding up three fingers, made a solemn vow: “I, Shen Yixiao, will NEVER do anything to betray Luo Yao!”

“If I do, let the heavens strike me down, no seasoning in my instant noodles, always get disconnected in team fights…”

Hearing Shen Yixiao’s oath, Luo Yao giggled: “Alright, alright, I trust you!”
