Starlight had completed its orbit change and began to return to the Moon Palace space station. Lu Zhou, who had left the ground command center, had already returned to his home.
Lu Zhou stood beside the car. He looked at Wang Peng and spoke in a serious tone.
“I need to take a break for two days. Don’t be surprised if you can’t get in touch with me. Also, no matter who comes to see me, tell them I am busy for the next two days.”
Wang Peng was taken aback for a second. He looked at Lu Zhou with a concerned look.
“Are you feeling sick? I can contact Dr. Yan and ask her to check on you.”
Even though Lu Zhou often made similar instructions before his retreats, Wang Peng felt like something was different, whether it was Lu Zhuo’s tone or something else.
“What? I’m in very good health. Don’t worry, don’t need to call Doctor Yan.” Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng, shook his head with a smile, and said, ” I just want to quietly think about some… Academic problems. These problems have been bothering me for a while. I don’t want anyone to disturb me and interrupt my thinking. Just don’t worry about me. Give yourself a vacation.”
Wang Peng: “What about your food? Do you need me to bring them?”
“No, I will sort it out myself.”
Lu Zhou then turned around and walked through his gate. He then disappeared behind his mansion door…
…
A while ago, back at the ground command center, when the second timer stopped, a holographic mission completion notification appeared in front of him.
Because there were too many people nearby, Lu Zhou did not enter the system space immediately. He chose to let Wang Peng take himself back home.
Lu Zhou didn’t want to wait any longer. He threw his clothes on the household robot controlled by Xiao Ai. After that, he went to the bedroom and lay down.
“System!”
Lu Zhou opened his eyes again. He was already standing in the pure white system space.
Lu Zhou walked quickly to the holographic interface in the center of the system space. He reached out and pressed his index finger on it.
There was a wave of light blue ripples. The mission briefing was soon presented in front of him.
[Congratulations, User, for mission completion!]
[Legendary mission: Looking from afar]
[Mission description: Although the future sounds far away, its journey has already begun.]
[Mission evaluation: The exploration of the future is endless. This time, you made a choice with your own wisdom. The road was full of speed bumps, but perhaps just like the past, things will repeat themselves in the future. The end of the universe has been written from the moment it appeared.
[As one of the last hopes in this universe, the system believes that you can bring changes.
[So remember, always be self-aware and vigilant.]
[Mission Reward: Physics level +1, Void Memory c, a golden lucky draw ticket, 10,000 points.]
Every time a mission was completed, this system would stand from the perspective of a “God” and make a condescending comment on him or on human civilization.
Sometimes, there were jokes, satire, or ridicule, and other times, it was affirmation or even admiration.
However, this time seemed to be different from the past. Along with admiration, there also seemed to be a hint of expectation or advice.
Usually, Lu Zhou wouldn’t care about this at all. He would have focused on the mission rewards and the lucky draw.
However, after seeing so many memories from the old universe, and having talked face-to-face with the so-called “Observer”, it was obvious that he could no longer ignore the information that was revealed to him.
“Does this mean that the hyperspace channel might attract something bad?”
However, as soon as this idea appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind, he decided it was a foolish idea.
“The Calan civilization was much more advanced than the earth civilization, and according to the documentation recorded in Void Memory b, long before the construction of the ring world began, they had already mastered the use of gravitational ties between star systems to change the curvature of time and space. They had mastered the method of hyperspace navigation.
“If this kind of navigation was full of dangers, then they should have gone extinct.
“In that case, this vigilance… should be referring to the Void.”
What is hiding in the Void?
Is there anything else besides The Observer’s civilization?
Lu Zhou looked at the rewards of the mission, at the [Physics Level +1]. Lu Zhou then looked at the Void Memory c. His heart was pounding.
Suddenly, there was an urge in his heart to immediately open his inventory and activate his rewards.
However, after some hesitation, Lu Zhou decided not to.
If this memory was like the last time, where he had to complete a battlefield shooting game, he wouldn’t survive for long enough to see any clues.
The safest choice was to rest for two days. After adapting to the changes brought by physics level 10, he should go to the underground laboratory at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and record the memory into the database using the neural interface device.
Therefore, even if he failed the “game”, Star Sky Technology would be able to utilize tens of millions of outstanding players to help him solve Void Memory c. It wouldn’t take long for him to figure out the plot.
After restraining the flash of urge, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and focused his attention on the lucky draw.
Unlike the previous lucky draw tickets, this ticket was golden.
“A golden lucky draw? What the hell?”
Even though he wanted to complain that the system might be scamming him, he was worried that his complaints would be heard by the system and affect his rewards.
“Whatever, I’ll just try it.”
Without any expectations in mind, Lu Zhou reached out his index finger and selected the button for the lucky draw.
After he pressed a button, a golden roulette wheel appeared in front of him. It spun at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to see clearly.
Lu Zhou prayed a few times in his heart. He then reached out and pressed the stop button.
The wheel spun for a few more times before it gradually slowed down.
The second it stopped, Lu Zhou froze.
He finally understood now.
He understood why this lucky draw was golden.
While Lu Zhou was standing in the system space “gambling”, the news of the successful experiment had spread around the world, and the reporters soon gathered outside the Jinling ground command center.
The entire physics community was shocked by this amazing news.
Same for the entire academic community!
The speed of light barrier was broken by a small particle!
The whole world was shocked by this news!
