Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

On the other side of the earth.

Lu Zhou was inside the pure white system space. He walked up to the holographic mission panel and selected the golden mission card.

The second his index finger touched the card, golden light particles began filling the entire information screen.

The dazzling effect reminded Lu Zhou of a campfire. Soon, an updated mission panel appeared in front of him.

He looked at the mission panel and spoke.

“I knew it… Exactly what I expected.”

[Legendary mission: First step toward the future.]

[Description: The first step toward the future is standing right in front of you. You are closer to the future than any mathematician has ever been!]

[Requirements: Unify algebra and geometry!]

[Rewards: Mathematics level +1, Void Memory b, five lucky draw tickets, 10,000 general points.]

This was the legendary mission.

Just like he had expected, the system’s “future era” didn’t mean he would travel to the future. Instead, he would obtain technologies and other things that belonged to the future. He would be the one shaping the future, opening the door to a new era.

First was mathematics.

Then physics, biochemistry, materials science, etc…

When all disciplines reached level 10, he wouldn’t even need the system anymore, he would be able to see the future everywhere he went…

“A new era means the future.

“I see…

“The level 10 mathematics mission is to unify algebra and geometry, to revolutionize mathematics research… What is the legendary mission for other disciplines?”

Lu Zhou closed his eyes and thought of something interesting. He had a smirk on his face.

“… This is so exciting.”

He was so close to reaching the border of the future!

His fingers swept across the holographic panel.

He closed the mission panel, returning to the main console.

After that, Lu Zhou’s consciousness left the pure white system space and back to reality…

…

The days of August quickly went by, and his holidays were soon over.

Lu Zhou spent the entire month with his family. He felt like he had gotten more than enough rest. He packed his luggage and went back to Jinling.

Even though living a carefree life was desirable, it felt meaningless.

Not to mention that he had such an exciting research project waiting for him.

Before leaving home, Lu Zhou told his parents that he wanted them to go to Jinling with him. That way, the family would be together.

However, just like before, his father immediately shut down his idea.

“I’m not going, what’s so good about Jinling?”

Lu Zhou didn’t know what to answer.

Um…

It’s just more convenient?

Fang Mei was a little worried, so she asked, “What if I cook for you there?”

However, Lu Bangguo interrupted her.

“Don’t do that, when he finds a wife, she can cook for him.”

Lu Zhou: “…”

I have people that can cook for me, I don’t need a wife…

Actually, I’m pretty sure Xiao Ai doesn’t count as a person.

After hearing Old Lu’s words, Fang Mei didn’t say anything.

Even though she often argued with Old Lu, she still listened to him most of the time.

Old Lu looked at Lu Zhou and spoke.

“You’re busy with work, just focus on yourself. You don’t have to worry about us, we’re in good health. You should exercise more, don’t stay in the office all day.

“We are very comfortable here in Jiangling. I can go out and walk around. It is very convenient to go see friends and family. If I go to Jinling I would be stuck at home watching TV all day, we probably wouldn’t even be able to see you around.

“This is fine, you can just come to visit us during the holidays.”

Lu Zhou didn’t say anything else.

He just wanted the best for his parents. Jinling City had better medical and social resources.

However, his father was right.

Not everyone wanted to live in a big city. His dad much preferred to read a newspaper and drink tea with his friends. Maybe catch some fish on the weekends.

Therefore, Lu Zhou didn’t mention moving them to Jinling again.

I’ll just spend more time visiting them…

He went on the high-speed rail and soon arrived back in Jinling.

The first thing Lu Zhou did was go to Jin University and submit his research project application.

When he was submitting the application, the faculty staff member from the mathematics department froze.

The unified theory of algebra and geometry!

This was the first time the staff member had seen such a ridiculous thesis proposal.

Lu Zhou saw the look on the staff’s face, he sighed.

Thank god.

I was the one who came here.

If Lu Zhou had asked Han Mengqi or one of his students to submit the thesis proposal, they would be laughed out of the office…

Lu Zhou coughed.

The staff member snapped back to reality after hearing Lu Zhou’s cough. He gulped and spoke.

“Academician Lu… are you sure you want to research this topic?”

Generally speaking, after a research project was accepted, it couldn’t be changed for a long time.

Lu Zhou: “Is there a problem?”

“No, of course not.” The staff member smiled and said, “I’ll process the application as soon as possible!”

Lu Zhou nodded.

“I’m in no hurry.”

He only submitted the research proposal as a habit.

Even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t matter.

After all, he didn’t really care about the university’s research funding…
