Chapter 1278: The Third Medal

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The summit yesterday was very successful.

The only downside was that it was somewhat a slaughter.

After all, the gap in knowledge and logic couldn’t be filled with emotions and passion.

But what Lu Zhou didn’t expect was that his speech turned out to be popular?

The first half of his speech was handing in China’s report card to the world; the second half of the speech answered a series of questions raised by the girl. That was directly related to the Guanghan Special Economic Zone plan.

Not only did “Everyone Daily” highly praise his speech on the front page of the new issue, but the media around the world also intensively reported on his speech.

For example, the Danish “Jyllands-Posten” newspaper called it a foolish speech and proposed new ideas for solving environmental problems, while the “Wall Street Journal” called it “propaganda for colonization on the moon”. The speech embodied China’s ambitions on the lunar project, and NASA should remain vigilant.

Of course, in addition to reporting from an objective perspective, there were some less objective viewpoints.

For example, the “New York Times” put forward quite a conspiracy theory that this was a premeditated incident and unkindly called it the “new destiny speech”. They believed that this was a way for China to monopolize lunar resources.

Lu Zhou only stood on the stage and spoke a few words. He didn’t expect to have such a big impact. After all, he didn’t make any preparations; he only spoke about surface-level topics.

Afterward, he thought about it. The reason for such a huge response was mostly because these words came from his own mouth, and he was holding the title of Chief Consultant of the Lunar Orbit Committee.

However, when he had just figured out the reason behind this, something more unexpected happened immediately afterward.

On the night after the speech, he returned to his room and lay on the bed after attending the banquet. He suddenly discovered that he had accidentally triggered and completed a hidden mission.

[Hidden Mission: Speech on Necessity (Completed)]

[Explanation: “My dear, this is a story from a long time ago.”]

[Rewards: Earth civilization materialism trend +10, free experience points +100,000. Speaker Medal.]

“Another medal? What’s the use of this thing?”

Between Lu Zhou’s index finger and thumb was a bronze horn about the size of a fingernail.

Even though this thing was also awarded by a higher civilization, compared to the first two medals that used anti-gravity technology and holographic projection technology, this seemed more like a souvenir.

However, Lu Zhou cared more about the 100,000 experience points.

His energy level needed exactly 100,000 points before he could level up. This was perfect.

A. Mathematics: Level 10

B. Physics: Level 9 (13,215/???)

C. Biochemistry: Level 7 (410,000/1.2 million)

D. Engineering: Level 7 (1 million/1.2 million)

E. Material Science: Level 7 (763,000/1.2 million)

F. Energy Science: Level 7 (0/1.2 million)

G. Information science: Level 7 (100,000/1.2 million)

General points: 24,335

Lu Zhou allocated all of the 100,000 experience points to energy science. After he confirmed that his energy science level went from level 6 to level 7, he reached out his index finger and swiped on the holographic screen, closing his characteristic panel.

This kind of hidden mission was like an Easter egg in the system. There were no rules around it at all. It was more mysterious than emergency missions. Completing an awesome research result would not necessarily trigger a hidden mission, however, unintentional actions might. The rewards were also confusing.

This situation had happened before.

After Lu Zhou exited the system space, he put his head on the pillow and was about to rest early. But suddenly, the mobile phone on the bedside table popped up with a video call request.

When Lu Zhou saw Chen Yushan was calling, he reached out and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He picked up the AR glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose. He then tapped his index finger on the frame.

“Transfer the video call…”

Xiao Ai: [Yes, Master! (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧]

Light blue light particles appeared in Lu Zhou’s field of vision. A video window opened. A wave of blue light swept across his face, capturing his facial data and expression characteristics.

Even though Lu Zhou still preferred to use a tablet, phone calling like this made him feel more connected, similar to face-to-face communication.

“Did I wake you up?”

“Not at all. You’re always welcome to call me at any time.”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yushan couldn’t help but smile.

“I want to kiss you on the forehead and say goodnight to you.”

“Actually, I think you can… Let me zoom in.”

“I’m just kidding, that’s so embarrassing… Unless it’s in person.” Chen Yushan’s cheeks warmed up quickly. She coughed and changed the subject. “Speaking of which, you seem to be popular.”

“Popular?”

“Yeah, looks like you are getting used to it.”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, “If you appear in the headlines every few days for the past three years, you will feel the same.”

“Um… I don’t think most people have the chance to experience this feeling.”

Lu Zhou stared at her face with a warm look in his eyes.

Maybe it was because he had been alone for too long, Lu Zhou felt indescribably happy.

A few minutes went by.

She smirked and spoke softly.

“Your eyes are telling me that you just drank.”

“It was a cocktail party attended by high-level officials from various countries. I was invited by someone, so I went.”

Chen Yushan joked, “No one flirted with you?”

“You don’t trust me?”

“Of course I trust you. I’m just a little worried about my boyfriend. After all… I worked hard to catch you.”

Lu Zhou was amused. He couldn’t help but laugh.

He said, “Didn’t I catch you?”

She replied, “But I invited you to the lake!”

“I kissed you first.”

“But I…”

Halfway through, Chen Yushan blushed again. She said, “Whatever.”

Lu Zhou saw her look of shyness. He smiled and said, “I’m coming back in a few days.”

Chen Yushan said, “Remember to stay safe.”

“I will.” Lu Zhou nodded. He suddenly remembered an important thing and said, “Speaking of which, tomorrow is the departure day.”

“Yeah.” Chen Yushan nodded. “We were waiting for you to command the show. We didn’t expect you to suddenly go to Copenhagen. You can only watch from there.”

Lu Zhou wanted to say “sorry”, but he swallowed his words in the end.

“You’ll have to take care of it then.”

When Chen Yushan saw the trust in his eyes, she had a happy smile on her face. Lu Zhou suddenly understood why he was attracted to her in the first place…

“Don’t worry.

“This will be a piece of cake!”
