Chapter 1058 Unlocking New Achievements
[Congratulations, User, for unlocking the hidden achievement “Past The Times”.]
[Description: Even if old-fashioned people try to resist, when faced with new technologies, most people will eventually catch up with the times.]
[Achievement: One lucky draw, 100,000 engineering experience points, 5,000 general points.]
Lu Zhou was at the sensational product launch conference. He hesitated for a second when he saw the light blue dialog box suddenly pop up in his purview.
System rewards?
Without hesitating, he leaned back on his chair and whispered “system”. Soon after, his consciousness was transferred into the system space.
Honestly, these hidden achievements were confusing.
Lu Zhou still didn’t know what triggered the achievement.
Logically speaking, out of all of his scientific research, the carbon-based chip was definitely not the most impressive.
Not to mention that he only did theoretical work on the Mott insulator, as well as the SG-1 industrial synthesis method a long time ago.
However, for some reason, the hidden system achievement was triggered.
Wait a minute…
Lu Zhou suddenly had an idea.
Maybe this is the system’s way of guiding me?
Just like how in Princeton, the system guided me to help Vera with the Collatz conjecture…
Of course, the other possibility was that he had completed a major scientific breakthrough that would have been a system mission otherwise.
All of this was just a hypothesis; there was no way for him to find out the answer.
Lu Zhou felt a headache.
Can’t this damn system just tell me what is going on?
Plus that Void Memory is screwing with my head…
Lu Zhou shook his head and pressed the lucky draw button. After he looked at the “30x Memory Tablet” pop-up, he closed the lucky draw panel.
The memory tablet was useless for him, it wasn’t even as useful as the energy medicine.
A hundred thousand engineering experience was quite satisfactory. Right now, he was at level six in engineering, where he needed six hundred thousand to level up. It was unrealistic to rely on hidden achievements to level up.
The only thing that surprised him was the 5,000 general points.
Adding onto his saved points, he had nearly 30,000 general points.
Lu Zhou was contemplating on how to use the points. He wouldn’t be able to level up his other disciplines until he solved the unified theory of algebra and geometry.
Therefore, it would be a good idea to spend the general points on technologies that were interesting, but he didn’t have time to research.
What should I spend it on?
Emm…
Lu Zhou wasn’t able to come up with an idea. In the end, he shook his head.
Screw it, I’ll just ask for Chen Yushan’s opinions.
After Lu Zhou left the system space, he opened his eyes and returned to the conference.
The product launch was already over. Lu Zhou looked at the crowd beginning to leave the venue. He nodded toward Wang Peng and started walking toward the exit.
While the crowd was leaving the venue, a female staff with short hair walked toward him with a polite smile on her face.
“Hello, Academician Lu.”
Lu Zhou looked at her name card and didn’t recognize her.
Lu Zhou was wondering why she suddenly stopped him.
“Can I help you?”
The female staff: “Here’s the thing, I am the person in charge of the product launch organization committee. Because of some changes to the itinerary, CEO Wang has gone to a meeting. HE specifically asked me to accompany you—”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Oh, that’s fine, you don’t have to stay here, I can just go back to the hotel.”
“B-but…”
Lu Zhou looked at the lady and quickly realized something, so he smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, I just don’t like to bother others. CEO Wang knows of this, so I’m sure he understands.”
Ever since the news of the carbon-based chip was released, Huawei had been pushed to the peak of popularity.
Not only were the giant semiconductor companies paying close attention to this technology, but so were the downstream electronics manufacturers.
There were also negotiations happening at the state level.
CEO Wang was going to have a busy year.
Lu Zhou was the type of person that liked to be alone.
The female staff no longer insisted. She reluctantly nodded and spoke.
“Oh… Okay, if you need anything, please contact us.”
She bowed at Lu Zhou, who was speechless, then turned around and left the exhibition hall.
Lu Zhou looked at her walk away and shook his head.
“The Huawei employees are too nice.”
Wang Peng smiled and spoke.
“After all, you are their boss.”
“No. we’re partners. It’s not like I’m doing charity work, and they don’t owe me anything,” Lu Zhou said.
Wang Peng smiled and did not reply.
Some things didn’t need to be said.
A voice was heard from a distance.
“Wait a second, Academician Lu!”
Lu Zhou stopped his footsteps and looked back.
He saw a man in his late thirties, dressed in a suit with neatly combed hair, waving at him.
Wang Peng saw the unfamiliar face walking over from the distance. He placed his hands in his pocket and made eye contact with his colleague, who was standing in the crowd.
The man could feel himself being watched, so he slowed down his footsteps and walked over.
“What an honor to meet you.”
Lu Zhou looked at the man and said, “… And you are?”
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.” The man took out a business card and said, “I’m Ye Nan, this is my business card.”
Lu Zhou briefly glanced at his business card.
Yifang Venture Capital?
Never heard of them before.
He had only heard of Yifeng Real Estate, a well-known company based in Shanghai.
The man named Ye Nan quickly spoke.
“We met at the high-tech innovation and investment summit, but you left in a hurry. It was quite unfortunate how—”
Lu Zhou coughed and interrupted him, “What do you want?”
Ye Nan smiled awkwardly and said, “Nothing in particular… I just want to talk with you.”
Lu Zhou looked like he wanted to refuse, so Ye Nan quickly added, “Just five minutes, won’t take up too much time.”
Lu Zhou was planning on politely rejecting him, but seeing how sincere he was, Lu Zhou nodded.
“Okay then.”
Ye Nan looked ecstatic as he spoke.
“There’s a nice cafe near here, not far from the convention center. I always grab a coffee every time I come here. Let’s go grab a coffee there, my treat.”
Wang Peng suddenly said, “What is the cafe called?”
Ye Nan said, “92 degrees… It’s only a hundred meters away from here.”
Wang Peng nodded and didn’t say anything.
Ye Nan was at a loss, so Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.
“Hope you don’t mind, this is his job.”
Ye Nan: “…?”
