A person wishes to become jar jar to show the true powers of jar jar the dark lord who even controls palpatine.

Alexander. The man who gives life to the butterflies on my stomach. The man who shows me what love really is. He is the man whom I love so so much. He is the great love of my life. And I can still remember the day where the two of us met.

It was my freshmen year in college back then. That's the rough year of my college life. Sobrang daming adjustments ang naranasan ko. And unang-una na don yung pagtira ko ng mag-isa here in manila. My family is in Ilocos, ako lang ang nasa Manila to finish my studies. Living alone in our house here in Manila. That was friday night, I was having my dinner at 7/11. Yeah, dinner at 7/11, wala na kasi akong time non para magprepare ng meal. And the whole week, that time, was just so stressful and hectic for me. Kakatapos ko nga lang nung araw na yun ipresent yung thesis ko sa prof namin. That's why, nung araw na yun I was so exhausted. Kulang sa tulog and pahinga, I just wanna sleep when I go home.

I bought myself a siopao, a hotdog and slurpy for my so called dinner. I was eating peacefully when a guy with black hoodie, faded jeans and worn out Converse approached me. He has this joyful aura on him. He asked kung pwede makishare ng table, so pumayag naman ako. Looking at his features, masasabi mo talagang gwapo sya. After kong maubos yung dinner ko patayo na ko nung mauna syang tumayo mula sa kinauupuan nya. Di ko na din pinansin at nag ayos na ng gamit. Gusto ko na talaga matulog that time. A step ahead the door, bago ko pa mabuksan yung door ng 7/11 may kumalabit sakin. It was him, the guy with black hoodie. He was holding an ice cream. Bigla nya nalang tinapat sa mukha ko yung isa.
"I'm Alexander" sabay nyang sabi. Natatawa kong kinuha yung ice cream sa kamay nya and there I saw that priceless grin he's wearing. That grin was so contagious, mapapangiti ka nalang din pag tinitigan mo.
"Cae" I answered.

From that day, I can say that we became  friends. We have common friends kaya madalas magkakasama kami. Until the day when he asked for my permission if he can court me. I told him that Im not ready for a relationship. But that didn't stop him. He said that he respects my answer but that doesn't mean he will not court me. Hindi nya daw ako minamadali. He will do everything until bigyan ko sya ng sagot. And that's where it begins. Nanligaw sya for almost a year. And there was never a time na nagreklamo sya o tinanong nya ko kung kailan ko ba sya sasagutin. That time I know, I already fall for him. But at the same time I am scared. He is the first man who did that to me. Im scared na baka masaktan lang ako sa huli. But his efforts and his love ang nagpalakas ng loob ko para sumugal.

On the 24th of May year 2010, I gave him my heart. We were having lunch at the same 7/11 store where we first met. I bought an ice cream, tinapat ko sa mukha nya yun gaya nung ginawa nya dati. "Hi, Im Cae" sabi ko pagkatapat ko ng icecream sa mukha nya with a smile on my face. Ewan ko, pero kinabahan ako nung time na yun.
Kinuha nya yung Icecream sa kamay ko ng tumatawa.
"Hi, Cae. Im Alexander." Sagot nya na natatawa.
"Al, sinasagot na kita" sabi ko ng may ngiti. Bakas sa mukha nya ang pagkagulat. Pero nakabawi din sya at nagsalita. "Sorry Cae, pero di na kita matatanggap as my girlfriend" sabi nya na nagpawala sa ngiti ko. "Kasi mula ngayon, ikaw na ang magiging asawa ko" dugtong nya. He hugged me so tight that time. Tuwang tuwa sya dahil finally daw sinagot ko na sya. That day was just so memorable. We were so happy. And his smiles was really priceless, as always. We became legal to my parents and his after just a month. Everything was doing great.

We celebrated our monthsary, then our first anniversary. Time passes so fast, we've celebrated our second anniversary and our graduation two months after. Our studies went well, both of us graduated with honors. Our parents were so proud of us, so am I. We achieved one of our goals together.

New environment ang sumalubong sa amin. Dahil just months after graduation, nagtrabaho na agad kami. Hard at first, may mga misunderstandings. We face challenges... Together. Tho it was really hard, napagtagumpayan namin yun ng magkasama.

2015.
On our fifth anniversary. He made a surprise for me. I thought that we will just have a dinner, pero instead sa resto, nagdrive sya uphill. And from there, the view was just so breath-taking. City lights below us, thousands and millions of stars above, and there he was, hugging me from the back. The moment was so perfect. "I love you" mahina kong sabi habang nakatingin sa mga stars.
"I love you more" Alexander replied. Still hugging me from the back. Siniksik nya yung mukha nya sa balikat ko, but after a while bumitaw sya sa pagkakayakap nya. May kinuha sya sa compartment ng kotse nya na... Jar. The jar looks a bit heavy. May laman syang mga kulay red na papel. He put it on the mat na nilatag namin kanina. And asked me to sit beside him. Nag indian sit ako sa harap nya, nasa pagitan namin yung jar.
"Here, that's my gift. Happy anniversary!" He said cheerfully, again while wearing his contagious smile. "Aw. Thank you! I love you!" I replied and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
"Best gift" he said as our lips parted. " So, this jar right here" he tapped the top of the jar. "These little heart papers inside has a message written inside them. Those messages are things that I want to tell to you. But the thing is, kukuha ka lang ng isang heart jan sa jar everytime na may happy moments tayo together. And you will read that in front of me. Gusto ko makita yung magiging reaction mo sa bawat message na mababasa mo" mahabang paliwanag nya. Natawa ako sa kakornihan ng idea nya but at the same time kinikilig ako sa jar na to and sa efforts nya. The jar was really overflowing with those heart papers. I wonder kung gano katagal nya ginawa yung mga hearts and messages  na yun. That night ended.

Days, weeks and months pass by so quickly. Maraming happy moments with Alexander ang naranasan ko. That just means maraming heart messages na din ang nabasa ko from that jar. At sa bawat message na mababasa ko ay mas lalo kong nafifeel kung gano ako kamahal ni Al. We love each other so much. Di maiiwasan ang away, but we manage to resolve it as fast as possible.

A year passed. May laman pa din yung jar. Wow, I think nasa one thousand yung nagawa nyang hearts sa loob nun. Mas maraming happy moments ang nacelebrate namin ng magkasama. His birthday, my birthday our sixth anniversary, lots of monthsaries and many more. A year and a half after nya ibigay yung jar, malapit na maubos yung mga hearts. I told it to him, actually medyo nalungkot ako na paubos na yung hearts. Pero tinawanan nya lang ako that time, telling me na ang cute ko daw dahil mukha akong bata. He told me na di ko kailangan malungkot dahil pag naubos na yung hearts, may surprise sya sakin ulit. That lighten up my face. I really love his surprises. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and smile at him.

Time comes where there were only five hearts left on the jar. Binasa ko yung 5th heart nung monthsary namin. "You are my star on the dark sky. My light on my darkest nights. You are the reason of my smiles, the greatest love of my life."  That's what written inside the fifth heart. I can't find the right words to describe how much I love this man in front of me. Niyakap ko lang sya ng sobrang higpit bilang reaksyon sa letter na binasa ko. He kissed the top of my head and hug me tighter.

Until a day came, only two hearts were there inside the jar. "This love I have is too much for this lifetime. 'till my next life you will be my greatest love. In this lifetime, I wanna grow old with you. In our second life, I promise that I will still find you and love you over and over again. I love you!❤" The second to the last letter.  Binasa ko to nung celebration namin ng birthday nya. "I LOVE YOU, ALWAYS AND UNTIL THIS LIFETIME ENDS, AND WILL LOVE YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN." He said while staring  at me, then touched  his forehead with mine. Our fingers intertwined. He kissed me slowly and softly. How I Love this man.

March 18th 2018
You call early in the morning. Like what you always do, greeting me  a good morning. A normal day for the both of us.  You picked me up to drive me to work. We were planning our vacation on subic that coming weekend.

3:00pm that day, you called to say that you won't be able to pick me coz you still have so many paper works to finish. You said sorry but I told you that it was really fine. So I went home alone. I was so tired, I just texted you that Im home and I'll just talk to you tomorrow coz im really tired. You called me after receiving my text, but while talking to you I fell asleep. Di ko alam kung gano katagal bago mo napatay yung tawag.

At 3:00am that night.
A phone call wakes me up. And that phone call, almost destroyed my whole being. I rush to the hospital where they take you. My hands were shaking. I can't feel my heart beating. I don't even know kung pano ako nakapunta sa hospital ng safe. While fast walking through the halls of the hospital my tears are already flowing down from my eyes. Di ko na halos makita ang nilalakaran ko. I approached the nurse station and asked.
"U-uhm... E-excuse-- excuse me... Uhm... M-may nadala ba ditong... Uhm A-Al--- Alexander Jimenez?" My voice's shaking. Halos di ko kayang sabihin yung pangalan nya... They told me where can I find him.
I was already running going to the room where they take him. I've reached the hall where his room is located. Every step that I am making is just so heavy. Papalapit pa lang ako nung nakita ako nila Ash, your best friend, together with him is his girlfriend, Kath. They came on the hospital faster dahil malapit lang sa kanila. Ash immediately hugged me as soon na nakalapit ako sa Kanila. Kath held my hand so tight. And dun pa lang di ko na napigilang humagulgol. Di pa nila nasasabi... Alam ko na... Di ko lang kayang tanggapin. Panong sa isang iglap bigla nalang syang mawawala.

March 19, 2018.
2:30 am
Alexander Choi Jimenez
Is found dead on the spot due to car accident in Magtibay St. Novaliches, Quezon City.

He left. He left me alone.

Months passed. I became depressed. But I manage to get through it with the help of my family and friends. And also because I know, he don't want to see me like that.

Today, I came back to my house. On the first couple of months di ko nakayanang bumalik dito. Coz every corner of this house reminds me of him. And it hurts like hell, thinking about how happy we are then suddenly... He left.

I go to my room and there I saw the jar. That's the jar he gave to me on our 5th anniversary. A tear escaped from my eyes. Maalikabok na yung ibabaw ng jar. Then I saw the last heart left on the jar. I was supposed to read that kung natuloy yung vacation namin sa subic. I opened the jar. Dun ko nalaman na the last heart was taped on the bottom, as if it was really meant to be the last piece of heart to be left. I get it and opened it. Shocked. Napatakip ako ng bibig sa nabasa kong nakasulat. My tears fell from my eyes. Di na tumigil pa ang pagluha ko.
I love you and will love you until the end of this lifetime, Al. I will still love you over and over again.

"Will you marry me?"
Was the last message from the last heart that was left on the jar of hearts.

Alexander. The man I love the greatest.

end---

The woman came and sat on the chair. Her face was as white as cheese and her eyes were clear. Her eyebrows had a clear sense of confidence and her head held high, she purely was a noble woman and the heir.

'' Good evening everyone, my name is Xun May. It's a pleasure to meet you'', she said and swept her gaze to see the faces of the guests.

She paused when she saw Jiang York in mesmerized state which looked more real than before when he confessed her.

But soon she retracted, but her heart throbbed when her gaze fell on the person next to her.

She did not know but there was something that made her feel uncomfortable. A feeling she didn't know about.

'' Ahem.. Let's have a talk first as introductions are not needed, are they? ", said Suchen.

He was enjoying the fact that she was staring at him but it also made him fell in vinegar jar that she looked at his younger brother first, and not him who was sitting just next to her.

''Sure.'', replied Xun Chius and others nodded.

There was an awkward silence prevailing which was broken by Chu Kohu.

'' So Amm, you look same age as my younger son. He is currently on graduation term from 'The Gate', what about you? '', she asked.

'Humph...this bitch... It is clearly on the news that Xun heir is not smart, how will she know about graduation from The Gate.  She must be in lowly University.', Qin Xie snorted in her mind.

' This woman deliberately focused the name of university, but what can I do? It's for our son's future.', Master Jiang thought that his wife was doing wrong but for our own flesh and blood who would mind about other' s children.

'' Yes, madam. I am also graduating soon, but from where... It's a secret but I can give my assurance that it is better than the University in which Ms. Qin, here has graduated from. '', she replied in calm tone.

' Smart and straightforward child', Thought Xun Chius and Jiang Yugin.

Chu Kohu was speechless at her bluntness and the doubt that she was not studying or was not from a good institution was cleared and this was made clear to her that if she tried to belittle her with the education of Qin Xie, she could not do it.

Initially, when she knew about her son's decision of marrying the Xun heir, she protested it. Even if she was able to convince her husband but not his son.

'' How can I, Madam Jiang, let such a low socialite to enter the Jiang family. She has no education, achievement, status in circles or business. She is just a lowly woman. She can not even be a pair with my youngest, so how can she be with my eldest who is hundred times better than my youngest. ''

               She tried to show all the facts to her son and even tried to make him meet with potential suitors but it did not work. It was like he was already obsessed with the useless Xun. She had to do something.

She chose Qin Xie and also invited her to this dinner so that she could belittle the Xun heir and flaunt in front of her arrogant mother.

For her scheme, her husband even get angry at her but she soothed him but still he was not happy with her in bringing Qin Xie to the dinner with them.

'' What happened Madam Jiang? '', Fu Lan's voice broke her daze.

She snorted to her like this. 'Bitch! My daughter is the best. How dare you try to make her ashamed in her house in only, I mean it's our house.'

Hearing Amm's word Yoko has an urge to laugh out loud but controlled as he focused on the topic that where had he seen this person.

Whereas, Jiang Suchen smiled  but soon this smile was gone.

But, Qin Xie had an urge to cry out loud or kill the bitch in front of her. Her face reddened as she heard her voice, so she made her down. 

She did not want to show her fierce red eyes to others, especially Madam Jiang, so that she would loose her chance of becoming Young Madame Jiang.

She dig her nails deep into her palm as she clenched her hands into the fist under the table.

First, this woman was more beautiful, more wealthy and had more powerful background. 

She was jealous it that she git to realise that the Xun heir was more elegant than her and according to this woman, Xun heir was more educated than her. 

She was so angry that it hurt her palms and lips which she was biting. So now only few qualities were left with her i.e. business skills. 

          (Wait! Doubt clearation........ 

You see Amm spoke with utter confidence about her education so no one dared to question it. 

Nervousness is the sign of lie in most cases but not every. 

Second, Amm is of course the only heir of Xun main family, how can she be according to the rumor. 

Rumor are just rumors. 

Another doubt clearation, her fluid movements of sitting, standing, talking and walking had proved her elegance... 

Mind it.... ....  )

'' We will work together. '', a man said. 

'' Yeah, together we can change the history of the world.. '', a person standing besides the person said. 

They both were standing on a hill top and looking at the vast landscape which was lightly sinking in the bright rays of the sun as it was rising high from the hills. 

 
 As it is said that with the time passing and surrounding changing, our friends and relatives also changes and show their ugly sides. 

 
'How dare you betray me?'', said the man in his late fifties.

'' Why are you shouting on me? It's you who betrayed me. '', roared the second man of the same age.

'' We will have worked together and stayed with each other more than our family members did, but you
.. Nothing is more important than money for you. ''

'' It'd you who is always running for money.... ''

They both fought.

They both separated their families.

They stopped contacting each other.

Seeing each other feel happy without their buddy, they were sad so tried to create problems for each other.


Just on a single thing, once childhood friends had become rivals.


The friends who could give their lives was now thirsty for each other's blood.. 


Why does human has such a big ego?

Their families started to hate each other from their core of the heart. 


YEARS PASSED AND THIS HATE HAD DEEPENED. 


While working in the business, they found new rivals and the government. 

To protect their business and status, they were forced to work together again but the trust, that was lost could not be get so easily. 


So to build this trust, a marriage was planned. 


-------------------------------------------------------------


" I love you.. '' said Jiang Suchen as he hold Xun May's wrist. 

'' I hate you.. '', Xun May replied with no emotion in her eyes as she tried to pull her hand away. 

'' Hate comes when their is love, so that means you also love me.. '', he pulled Xun May in his embrace. 

'' You... Big gorilla!'', she steps her heel hard on his foot.

''Ahh. You.'' He cries in pain. 

'' What? Do you think I am an easy person? Mr. Jiang, I know very well that you are trying to get me late at the board meeting, so that my company may not get this project. So lame trick. '', she said coldly and left. 

Behind, the man smirked. '' This rival bird has to long feathers, I have to cut it down. ''

To my dear readers

 Friends this is my first novel so if there is some mistake in

 English Grammar so plz forgive me and I will rectify my

 mistake in times to come. 

 .............,........................... From your Author.

She picked up the waste little by little, and then her eyes fell on a flower pot in the corner.
This flowerpot was a pottery pot filled with soil and looked much rougher than ordinary ones. The flower planted inside was dead, leaving only a small part of the dry branches.
She seemed to have seen something like that somewhere. It... It was supposed to be an antique, wasn't it?
She asked Mrs. Martha, "Where did you get this pot, Mrs. Martha?"
Mrs. Martha took a look at it and said, "It was a gift when I bought the flowers. The flower is dead, and this jar is so ugly that no one wants it. So, just throw it."
Sophia picked up the jar, "But this… It looks like an antique. I have seen it in the book."
Mrs. Martha laughed, "You're so funny. I bought it from an old lady. The flower and the pot were five dollars in total. You tell me it was an antique… OK, it's yours."
If it was an antique, Sophia would not accept it. She didn't like the pot very much, but she remembered that she had seen something similar in a book. However, she did not know much about the identification of antiques. So, she could not see the origin of this pottery pot.
She thought of a man, Albert.
In her previous life, she had never heard Albert say that he knew antiques. Last time in BridgeTown, he could tell the liar's porcelain was fake at first glance. She thought he should have studied antiques.
"I have a friend who knows how to identify antiques," Sophia said, "I'll show it to him. If it's an antique, it will be worth a lot of money."
Mrs. Martha waved her hand. "If it's really an antique, don't tell me. I'm telling you, I won't strike it rich. Once I get the money I shouldn't have, something bad will happen. Once I picked up one buck on the road, my TV set broke down when I got back home. It took me forty dollars to fix it. There was one time I picked up twenty bucks. I sprained my waist that day, which cost more than one hundred bucks."
Sophia didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Martha put the folded clothes into a box and said, "It can't be an antique. You think too much, Sophia. It would have cost two dollars when I bought it, but the pot was too ugly, so the flower-selling old lady took me one dollar. She said that her grandson was sick and she had to sell flowers to make money for the treatment. If it is an antique, why didn't she sell it? It's been for years. I remember it because the old lady was too poor. She should not be there to sell flowers now."
"Maybe the old lady didn't know what this is..." Sophia said, "Anyway, I'll take it back and show it to my friend."
She helped clean up for a while and heard Mrs. Martha called her, "Sophia, dinner."
Kate wanted to go home to cook, but Mrs. Martha insisted on treating her. Having no time to cook, Mrs. Martha ordered takeout, which included Kate's and Sophia's.
While eating, Sophia took a picture of the pottery pot and sent it to Albert. She had exchanged Facebook numbers with Albert before, but she was used to making phone calls and had hardly used it.
"Do you know if this is an antique? I found it in my neighbor's house. She said she bought it for one dollar from an old lady."
After sending the message, she left her phone behind, expecting Albert to answer her at any time.
But as soon as her phone left her hand, a Facebook beep sounded.
Sophia picked up her phone and saw that Albert had replied to her.
The reply speed was surprisingly fast.
"I don't know. I've never seen it." Replied Albert.
"Oh, I thought you knew it."
"No. It was a coincidence last time. But I happen to have someone around me who knows antiques. I'll let him see it."
"OK."
After a while, Albert replied, "He said it looked like an antique. But looking at the picture, he wasn't sure. He had to see it himself before he could tell. If it is necessary, I'll let him go to you."
Sophia didn't want to bother people so much. She replied, "It's too much trouble. The antique appraiser must be very busy. I'll take the time to visit him."
"No, he's not busy at all. I'll have him call you."
No sooner had Sophia read Albert's reply than the phone rang.
She picked up the phone and heard a familiar voice.
"Miss Green." Ryan's voice sounded happy, "I didn't expect my major to help you. I haven't appraised antiques for a long time."
"Your major?" Sophia was surprised.
Ryan had to tell her, "Yes. I used to think I could find something valuable by accident and make a great fortune, so I studied this major. But it wasn't until after graduation that I realized I couldn't find anything valuable at all. I could only charge some appraisal fees. Now people in this business are all geniuses. I can't make any money."
Ryan was heartbroken. "I went to the countryside to collect old things, thinking I could get some antiques. Ah… I was deceived by an old lady and lost thousands of dollars because of the misjudge. Later, I changed my career."
An old lady was deceiving him. It was a terrible experience.
"But it's all right," Ryan laughed again, "I found the greatest fortune in my life. I work for Mr. Pearson."
There was a faint voice from Albert, "Don't compliment me. I won't give you a bonus."
"It's all right. Just give me a set of staff dormitories." Said Ryan.
Sophia could not help but sigh that Ryan was really a good employee.
 It was the beginning of Albert's business, and the conditions must not be good.
They did not even have a staff dormitory. But he was still so loyal, which was very valuable.

Special Note: If you are looking for a sweet contemporary-romance genre, this novel doesn't have that kind of plot. Most plots of my novel talk about mystery, suspense, and a slice of life. Often FL starts a slow pace of development, from weak to strong.

After the messy cave hunting trip, Bob and Olaf smiled. The dragon warriors might still be weak but they had the potential to carry on the legacy of their ancestors.
"Gerald, come here."
The Light Dragon warrior got up and obeyed. He walked over to the lazing Frost Dragon who poked a nail gently to the warrior's forehead, startling him. A drop of blood trickled down and Olaf chanted a long prayer. A magic circle appeared and power surged through the blonde swordsman.
An elaborate tattoo appeared on his back and pain ripped through every fibre of his being. Olaf looked satisfied when the tattoo was complete. The magic circle from earlier also disappeared and the Frost Dragon smiled.
"Congratulations on graduating the initiation test. You now have the Blessing of the Last Frost Dragon - Olaf."
Gerald was still catching his breath. He didn't know what Olaf did but he knew how important Blessings were. Dropping down to one knee, the Light Dragon Warrior bowed in gratitude.
"Come here, son of the Fire Dragon," Bob called out.
Vrald didn't hesitate. He didn't flinch either when the same thing happened to him.
"Son of the Fire Dragon, Vrald. Receive the Blessing of the one and only Eternal Dragon - Bobbinskrier. From now on, walk the path of dragons and live proudly."
Vrald bowed humbly and thanked Bob. Although the tattoo mark on his back stung, he could feel a strange power surging inside of him. He'd never felt this hot before and even if the cave was almost frozen with Olaf's icy breath, Vrald didn't feel affected.
"I'm going to head back right now," Bob told his friend. "Zero is about to graduate."
Olaf nodded. "Alright, see you soon, old friend."
As Bob disappeared, Olaf turned to the two warriors. "From now on, we will be fulfilling our mission to become heroes and spread the name of Half Moon Village. Our first stop is the Smargdas Kingdom. Mitchnew and Roovan have gathered sufficient intel for us, we're heading straight for the adventurer's guild. Any questions?"
Vrald and Gerald shook their heads. Truthfully, they still had their adventurer identities even if it was a little outdated. It was Olaf who needed registering. They discussed it beforehand that Olaf would register as a mage in his human disguise. Gerald and Vrald would merely update their existing adventurer's card and they would take on quests to rank up quickly.
Olaf didn't have to explain much about a dragon's blessing. Everyone knew that from the legends, a person with the Dragon's Blessing is destined to become a great adventurer and even heroes. They will be gifted with great magic and strength like no other. It was this blessing that eventually turned on the dragons. Humans who were descendants of the blessed warriors became tainted by materialistic desire. They used the powers to start hunting dragons instead and cast the pride aside, taking on the mantle of Dragon Slayers.
As the dragon and the dragon warriors prepared for their journey, Bob crashed a different kind of party in Hell.

The Demon Lords splurged on the party at Hope Hospital. Zero looked around and saw that Baal didn't make it for his graduation party. Instead, Coux attended.
"What happened to Bell?" he asked when he finally caught the busty secretary alone. Getting away from the crowd had been difficult but Zero was glad he pulled it off somehow.
Coux smiled sadly. "He told me to pass you this on your graduation. Lord Baal didn't want to keep this from you but he thought that you should focus on your training instead."
Zero carefully received the envelope and opened it. There was a handwritten letter inside the envelope and Zero recognised Baal's messy scrawls.
Dear Zero
By the time you read this, I might have started hibernating.
Truth be told, the amount of work that I was made to do over the last few months had been really tough. That time we said goodbye might be our first and last for a very long time. I just wanted to let you know that I don't regret anything. Meeting you has been one of the best things that has happened to me.
It's a shame that I wouldn't be able to go with you on your adventure. However, in return, I want to be able to hear all your stories after my slumber. I've spoken with your best friend Truen on a few occasions and think that you will be in good hands.
Just a word of advice from a friend who has lived for a rather long period of time to a new adventurer. Trust nobody, not even yourself. While there are nice people, there are also many nasty people who wouldn't hesitate to throw you off a cliff to save themselves. I know you want to become a doctor to save everyone but as a friend, I must let you know that not everyone can be saved. Similarly, not everyone who can be saved deserves to be saved. Make that choice wisely and most importantly, never regret your decisions.
I know you hate me nagging so I will end it short. Stay safe, stay well and stay happy. Let's talk a lot to make up for lost time once I awake. Who knows, Hell might be a wonderful flower field by then.
With everything I have and more, your friend and ally always.
Baal (Bell)
P.S. Drop by from time to time and check on my domain, won't you?
Zero read the letter several times and silent tears created the illusion of rain. Dark spots started forming on the floor where they landed. Zero couldn't stop himself but also didn't dare make any noise in fear of ruining the festive mood on the other side of the door.
"You're too sneaky, Bell..." Zero cried and wiped away the tears. He knew that Baal had always overdone things and exhausted himself too much trying to help him when Zero was at his lowest. It was expected that Baal wouldn't be able to keep up with the pressure for long. He was the Lord of Sloth after all.
Still, the parting had been too sudden. Even though Zero said his goodbyes, he said it with faith that they would see each other again soon. Why is it that of all the Demon Lords attending his party, only Baal couldn't make it? Didn't he know that Zero was looking forward to reuniting with Baal the most?
Coux gave Zero some space to cry in silence and said nothing. Baal had warned her before he started hibernating that Zero could be stubborn. If he were to visit the castle, Zero wouldn't find Baal. The Demon Lord had thought things through and was hibernating in an unknown location. Only Mammon, Lilith and Lucifer knew where he was hiding.
Zero took some time to calm down and excused himself to wash his tear-streaked face. He stored Baal's precious letter away in his inventory and told Mii to make a copy of it in digital format on his reading device. He would refer to it from time to time so that he wouldn't lose the sight of the light in his life once he starts his adventure.
Hua Tuo and Coux exchanged some brief words when Zero left. The physician drank a whole flask of alcohol trying to numb his feelings. He was happy with having a hospital and had even taken on some students. However, nothing could ever replace the person who gave him the courage to pick up medicine again. Zero was his very first and last disciple. Whether the teen knew it or not, Hua Tuo had never imparted so much knowledge to any one individual before. To think that the boy who grew into a young man would leave him so soon, Hua Tuo's heart couldn't bear it.
The gift had been prepared a long time ago but now, Hua Tuo was hesitating. Would this be good enough? Shouldn't he do more?
Zero came back to the party and Lilith wasted no time. The lights dimmed and Zero was dragged to the front.
"Dearly beloved! Today, we celebrate the official graduation of Zero here. After almost a long year of brutal training, our boy is finally ready to become a full-fledged doctor!"
There was thunderous applause but Zero couldn't hear any of that. His eyes were tearing up again when he saw his teacher approaching him with two small rolled-up leather pouches. He didn't need to see the contents to know what they were. Zero was torn on the inside. Becoming a doctor had been his dream for the longest time. He enjoyed every single moment he spent learning under his teacher. However, he was also devastated at the thought of leaving the nest. Half Moon Village and the abyss was the closest to what Zero could consider as a home. Accepting the graduation gift meant that he could no longer remain here.
Hua Tuo smiled. Zero had a look similar to a puppy that has been abandoned. He felt like he should say a few things just to clarify that misunderstanding and send his student off with a smile.
"Zero. You're a very intelligent person with talents like no other. I cannot be prouder to have you as my first and last disciple. Although the training was harsh, you never faltered. After receiving this acupuncture needle set and surgical toolset, know that you are no longer an apprentice but a full-fledged doctor. With the knowledge and skills that I have imparted, use them to carve out the change you seek in the world. With the use of these tools, always remember that you will always be the only disciple of the greatest doctor to ever live."
The Sage God smiled and passed the two kits to Zero, eliciting another loud cheer and applause from the guests. Hua Tuo leaned in and whispered in Zero's ear while he held his student in a rare hug.
"Your home will always be with us. If it gets too difficult and tiring, come back for a while to rest."
Zero nodded and returned the hug tightly.
"Yes, shifu. Thank you for the wonderful graduation gift."
Hua Tuo smiled but didn't say anything. Now that Zero was a recognised doctor, the Sage God's job was done.
The rest of the night was wild with everyone trying to talk to Zero before he left for Heaven the next morning. Hua Tuo drank more than usual and became tipsy. The old man was spotted drunk and crying. He clung onto the jar of wine, refusing to let go and was inconsolable. Nobody mentioned it to him the next morning but everyone knew that he was heavily affected by the parting with his student.
The Demon Lords allowed Zero to visit Baal's castle one last time just so Zero could have somewhat of a closure. As expected, Baal was nowhere to be found in his castle. Zero wasn't allowed too much time to search for his friend because Pegasus was already waiting.
Today was the day of the meeting that Mammon was supposed to attend. Zero had to attend it no matter what and being late isn't a good first impression. Hua Tuo mounted his cloud and helped Zero get up the tall horse. The teen might have grown taller but he wasn't tall enough for some things.
"Are you ready?" he asked Zero. The brunet was dressed in formal wear today because of the meeting's agenda. If he was going to represent Hell's interest, he had to be treated seriously.
Zero did the last check on his appearance. He had that stiff suit on and nodded. The bowtie wasn't crooked and he tucked in the shirt properly. The laces of his shoes were also done neatly, there shouldn't be any complaints. Freya's etiquette lessons paid off and Zero looked very smart in the attire.
"Let's go," he said and they went through the portal at Ten-Path Crossway with a crowd cheering them on from behind.

When Tian Xi was finally transferred back into her personal void space she was still extremely indignant. Even if the world had categorized the two as the ideal pair of alphas since both of them were such highly revered figures and they would be accepted as the ideal pair, she couldn't come to terms with the fact that Gu Yuan would have been the one to complete her quest--not her. Most importantly, he never let her experience the joys of A x O!!!

Every time she approached an omega, Gu Yuan had magically poofed into existence and interrupted her seduction, scaring away the poor omega before she could even lay her hands on him.

Sure, to get first place in the void competition she was willing to do anything, but she wanted to be the one to do things, not rely on someone else. Especially on that shameless man, Gu Yuan. Admittedly, he was very good in bed, but that was no excuse for him to forcefully claim her as his own and even possibly keep her from completing her side mission. She only allowed him to continue his antics in that world because she knew he was getting revenge for the first world.

Thankfully, their debts had been settled and cleared after the ABO world, so she wouldn't have to worry about him ever again.

[Here are your rewards, host.] 001 decided to just do his job. This second world was really nothing ah. His host was also just making a big deal out of nothing. Gu Yuan, too. As a system he felt that he would never be able to understand what went through their minds.

[List of Completed Missions and Tasks]

[Main Mission: Bring the graduating class to the top of society. Time Limit: 6 months. Reward: 500 points]

[Side Task 1: Maintain your position as president. Reward: 50 points]

[Side Task 2: Answer 500 questions in class. Time Limit: 6 months. Total Reward: 500 points (1 point per question)]

[Side Task 3: Present the graduation speech at the graduation ceremony. Reward: 100 points and 1 skill point]

'Eh, so even though we weren't the conventional alpha and omega pairing, I still completed the mission?' Tian was pleasantly surprised.

[En. I told you that with your luck anything is possible.] Technically, the two were the best individuals within Central. If one thought of it in that way, it could work.

The competition administrators must be going easy on host ah!

'Can I pull up the shop before heading into the void world?' Tian Xi hadn't bothered to explore the items the first time she was here because she wanted to observe the leaderboard before spending her points. Now that she had a certain understanding of the average points each host had she didn't mind browsing the store.

While the actions one could take in the personal void space were highly limited to only viewing the missions and purchasing items from the system shop, time did not run in the space.

[Yes, host.]

[Ding! System Store has been opened.]

{Categories: Dispensable Items, Indispensable Items, Soul-Bound Items, Room Passes, Real Estate]

Tian Xi's finger hovered above "Soul-Bound Items," and a vast assortment of objects were displayed in front of her. Some were large, some were very small, and when she focused her sight on one thing for a certain amount of time a name, description, and price would span out on the side. The thing that all of the items had in common was that they were all untradeable, hence the "soul-bound" part of the category name.

Nothing particularly caught her eye since she didn't feel as if she needed anything at the moment. So far, her first two worlds were completely doable without any extra fancy objects. However, she knew that the moment she stepped into a world without technology she would probably be screwed.

After all, she ended up hacking through her first two worlds which both happened to have moderate technological development. One could only assume with her lack of diversity of skills that the moment she transmigrated into a world without computers she would end up broke, dead, and abandoned in a random and deserted alleyway.

Pulling up the "dispensable items" store, she found that she could exchange points for skills, though the conversion rate was horrendous with her current measly sum. 1000 points for 1 skill point ah!

Most skills only had three mastery levels: basic, intermediate, and expert. Tian Xi was the type to master one thing before going onto the next, so even though she felt very lacking in diversity, she still decided to max out her Taekwondo before learning another skill.

'Two skill points are needed to max it, so I'm going to purchase 1 skill point and save the rest of my points for the next world. Anything can happen.'

[Purchase complete: -1000 points. Remaining points: 1300 points]

[Would you like to return to the Void World now?]

'Of course. Transfer me to the D-class lounge.' Don't want to run into that devil again.

[Yes, host.]

When Tian Xi opened her eyes once more, 6 hours had passed from the time before she left.

[Void Countdown: 999 years 364999 days 11:57:13]

[Leaderboard]

[Rank 1: Han Li - 8850 points]

[Rank 2: Wen Ren - 4621 points]

[Rank 3: Gu Yuan - 4550 points]

[Rank 16: Tian Xi - 1300 points]

.....

She immediately left for the dojo to max out her Taekwondo skill and decided to continue working on her combat abilities by learning Swordsmanship (basic). Because there were so many types of sword and blade styles to learn and master, the skill actually had six levels rather than three; basic, intermediate, expert, professional, master, and grandmaster.

By the time she left the dojo, three void hours had already flown by. Not wanting to waste any more time in the void world, she quickly returned to the D-class lounge only to run into a rock-hard chest and hit her nose.

Déjà vu!

Tian Xi once again rubbed her pained nose and suppressed the tears leaking from her large brown eyes before glaring at the culprit in front of her.

The man was gloomy and oozed a depressing air as he stood ramrod straight and imposingly. His sharp and narrowed silver eyes were seemingly fixated onto Tian Xi's figure as she glared at him. His lean body wasn't as built as Gu Yuan's noticeably muscular one that could be seen even with his clothes on. Silver-blue hair reached his lower neck and wildly covered part of his eyes and was frayed messily about his head. His skin was also very pale white, and he would have come off as sickly if it weren't for his strong-looking arms and the latent ferocity leaking from him.

Suddenly, using his right hand he pulled out a long and thin double-edged sword. Its hilt and blade were pitch black, making it flash eerily under the poor lighting of the D-class lounge. There was a medium sized, thin oval amethyst embedded in the center of the dark blade near the chappe. The pommel was shaped in an upside-down cross with an aureole and there was a smaller, circular amethyst embedded in the intersection of the bars.

Woosh!

He swung the sword around, as if testing it, and the sound of it piercing through the air at rapid speeds was echoing throughout the enclosed room.

Why didn't Tian Xi leave immediately like she did when she ran into Gu Yuan before? Well, because the man in front of her was staring at her so intensely as if daring her to leave or else. She didn't want to take any chances especially now that he was swinging around a sword ah!

He stopped swinging it around and abruptly and drove its point into the ground less than three centimeters in front of her, making that crystal floor seem as if it were only a block of butter. Tian Xi broke out into a cold sweat. Was he threatening her? Who was he? Did she wrong him too?

"Take it," his voice was smooth, low, and very pleasing to the ears like a lullaby before bed.

"Ah?" Tian Xi was still trying to process who he was and why he was doing what he was doing.

"Sword of Oblivion."

She took her gaze away from the sword that could have been stabbed through her poor and unsuspecting feet and looked at the ghost-like man in front of her. Yes, she saw him as a ghost because he was so white and gloomy like a stereotypical ghost.

Surprisingly, he looked tamer than when she first bumped into him and actually gave her the impression of wanting to be praised...? She shook her head inwardly. In any case, he was waiting for her to take the sword, so she grasped it by the hilt and easily lifted it from its newly-formed hole in the ground. It was unexpectedly not too heavy.

"Uh, thank you. I just learned the swordsmanship skill, too. How convenient ah," Tian Xi forced a smile at him.

He seemed to have released a small breath almost imperceptibly and in his silver eyes quickly flashed a glimpse of joy and relief, but Tian Xi caught it.

Before he was able to leave, she called out, "Wait. I'm Tian Xi. Since you gave me this sword, you at least deserve to know who you're giving it to." It was basic manners and even she wasn't low enough to just take something without giving back.

"...Wen Ren," he mumbled almost inaudibly before disappearing into his next world.

[Wow, host. Really, you do get all the men ah. That Sword of Oblivion is a part of the set of Oblivion series. The most expensive piece of the set, in fact, at 100,000 points.] If 001 had eyebrows, he'd be wiggling them at her.

Wen Ren reminded her of the other host she met in that ABO world, Owen. Even their first encounter was the same. After the election ended, he would often bring her some "gifts" in an attempt to please her. She never considered it as courting her because the gifts were a little overbearing. Just a bit.

The first one was a necklace. It would have been a decent courting gift but the necklace had a tiny jar as the pendant, and in that jar were two bright white human canines. Sure, they were the most beautiful teeth she had ever seen, but uh. Yep.

The second gift was a charm bracelet. It shouldn't be described.

As weeks went by, the gifts got more and more interesting. Let's just say that her initial observation of Wen Ren was correct. He was indeed a psychopath. But he was a strangely cute psychopath that reminded her of a dog bringing its master the fruits of its labors and waiting with a wagging tail to be praised for its effort.

It was no wonder Gu Yuan had called him a dog.

Brushing her thoughts to the back of her mind before another man could show up and put her in an awkward situation, Tian Xi quickly closed her eyes and was thrown into the reinforced steel wall and was knocked out cold once again.

Every 1000 years, systems are released into the world to find the perfect hosts to compete for the top spot on the Void World's Leaderboard. The prize for first place is to have one wish of any kind granted no matter what it may be!

World-class businesswoman Tian Xi was having a pleasant nosebleed-inducing dream...until she suddenly died of blood loss! 

[Ding! Binding complete. Host, I am your system, 001! Let's aim for the top, yo!]

A once-in-a-millennia genius man, Gu Yuan, had grown bored of Earth. With a cold affirmative grunt, he bound his soul to his system, 000.

Pushing and pulling, the power couple breezes their way to the top of the leaderboard!

Although the populace didn't know how Fluxers works, the method to become one was an open secret. However even if they knew, they couldn't reproduce it. One literally needed to be born with a silver spoon to have a chance to become a Fluxer.

When the principal presented the new Fluxers in the graduation ceremony, Tang Ling could tell, eyes closed, that their parents' net worth reaches the fifty thousand range. These rich kids smelled special, to say the least.

For the very, very rich, they would eat and drink something related to Flux. Either it is the meat of ferocious beasts or treasured herbs which their parents spent hundreds or thousands of credits to buy one. As long as their child exhibit even the slightest of talent, they would spend lots of money to nourish their child in preparation for drinking the Fusion Reagent!

250 000 to 300 000 Credits for a try!

With enough material resources, one could try indefinitely. Well, even the mayor didn't have money to try it more than a few times.

Tang Ling didn't blame them, what's the use of money if they can't spend it? To give the result of their hard work to strangers? It's the epitome of stupid! He, himself, used the thousand credits to improve the condition of his family and close ones; not for the old stranger next door.

The theory behind it is that when eating flux creatures and plants, your body becomes accustomed to Flux energy. It will become easier for you to absorb the flux out of the regeant and form a Broken Vessel.

What is a Broken Vessel?

It is the container of Flux. However, like its name suggests, it's broken and Flux continuously dissipates every second. It's like putting water on a cracked jar.

The later stage wasn't disclosed to the public and was strictly moderated by high-ranking officials. However, no matter how iron-fist the government is to protect the information, the fact that it was inevitable that some pieces of information leaked.

It is also revealed in an obscure forum that the next stage of the Broken Vessel is to slowly restore it; so to reduce the leaking until it can only be used up when a Fluxer makes a move.

Tang Ling believed that when hunters performed a great performance, they could become fluxers. In fact, he suspected that the black-feathered guy was almost approaching Fluxer level. If not already.

In silence, Tang Ling entered the open gate and took out his pass for the guard to see.

As stated above, although the authority made all sorts of actions to restrict the informations, if you were willing, you could learn bits of information there and there. Especially in a city like Bao Feng City where intranet monitoring is non-existent.

'I should go prepare.' Tang Ling thought. The underground is different from the wild. The constraint was more severe, with limited vision and space.

To this effect, he needed something to deal with that two plus, the tools to extract the resources he sees. However, these things ain't cheap. A simple lamp or something is cheap and the battery works for ten hours but it only provides the basic lighting tool.

There's also a space constraint that he couldn't do much about it but it should be okay since most spaces could be fought with the majority of weapons. What's important however was, with vision, the tools. In the underground, although the occasional loot from beasts is good, it isn't the prime source of income.

Tang Ling looked at his phone and clicked at the document that the man gave.

[Guide for Newbie Hunters (Dread Wasteland Edition)
Hello! It's me, Jarvin! No matter if you're a newbie hunter who just started or a veteran hunter coming to these lands, you all have to buy this guide (smirk face)!

Anyway, as you may know, the Dread Wasteland is different from most hunting grounds in the continent. Here, the wild is sparse and you will be hard-pressed to even find a rabbit here. Although specialized beasts may thrive here, it's a lot better to just go to another area. However, if you're remotely interested in hunting in this area, you'll already know that the real thing is underground.

Here's a rough overview of the underground network :

A-01: Excellent
A-02: Barren
A-03:  Bad
Bao Feng 01: Medium
Bao Feng 02: Medium
Bao Feng 03: Good
Thousand Bones Entrance: DANGEROUS! (not shown in the map)

Glix 01: Uninterresting
Glix 02: Good
Glix 03: Excellent
Glix 04: Medium

B-01: Bad
B-02: Bad
B- 03: Barren

Swamp of Oide: Acidic Swamp, Excellent plant, and medium ore deposit. Do not enter!
...

Greysteel Minecity: Abundant (lots of untapped potential !) but is being excavated by officials.

Area 194: Secret underground research lab, do not enter!

Ect.

There's also some forbidden places listed above and you should never, ever set foot here. Some are state secrets and others have particular characteristics that can kill even the most experienced hunter.

At the counter, you can try buying a Night Vision Potion (3 hours) for 100 credits or patrol (pay: 15~75 credits included). There are also some old pickaxes to borrow or buy however, you can always try your luck in the 'garbage' deposit next door, there may have some valuable second, third-hand items.

Common beasts you may encounter are  :

One Star Grey Rat: Even a child can kill it but is dangerous in a group of 10 or more (usually 15)
Two Stars Underground Bat: Easy kills, can suck blood and cause disease (get an antidote !) but the rewards are paltry compared to the efforts.
Three Stars Cave Wolf: Agile, fast, hunts in packs of around three. A little stronger than the common wolf on the surface.
Four Stars Tymu: Bipedal sloth-, bear-like beasts. A single slap can crush bones.
Five Stars Cave Bear: Stronger than bears, the apex predator of this region. Common weapons are trifling matter before them.

Seven Stars Underground Rat: Weaker than Grey Rats but are always in a group. If you see one, run! Ask assistance from the Hunter's Association. Do not even try to fight alone, they're at least in the thousands !]

There was a lot of information to digest so Tang Ling took a break and knew that tomorrow, he should take a look at the Hunter's Association.

For now, he should get the so-called 'feeling' and try out the advice in the forum.

Hidden under this seemingly prosperous modern world is a desolate and broken civilization, recovering from a deep wound. In this resource-poor world, natural resources are scarce and people compensate with strange alloys made of energy called 'Flux'.  What's more, looming over this peaceful scenery is these strange invasions of mutated creatures, capable of destroying buildings in a split second.

No one knows what life was before the Great Destruction, survivors from this era picked up some knowledge before rebuilding civilization creating this weird world where some fields are extremely advanced while others lag behind by three hundred years. Monarchy and Religion prevails in this seemingly modern world and powerful beings called 'Orderers' who protects the land that humanity has claimed are so powerful and their status so respected that it seems that they were simply a higher species than the common man. Inequality is so huge but nothing can be done, in front of those evolved humans, number is meaningless. Because they are stronger, capable of wiping out entire armies, they are respected and feared

From the ruins, ashes flutter and is reborn again. Three continents still exist in this planet, namely: Brokang Continent, named after the first conqueror and savior of humanity's dynasty; the Holy Continent, where the Sacred Spirit, lies and is worshipped and the Higher Dimensional Continent where even to this day, is the major forefront and battlefield between the creatures from the void and humanity.

In an outer city of the Brokang Empire, a youngster is struck by a rock and mysteriously gains a System that comes with a world where resources are plentiful and another power system that can give Orderers a run of their money!

Let us see what the main character can do in this chaotic era disguised as an orderly one, where mutated beasts run amok and human figures scheming against each other for more power and benefits, where unethical laws are put as well-intentioned ones and when it seems that God has abandoned this world for good! 

Chapter Update: Inconsistent, averaging 1 chap/month. This story has started a long time ago when my writing was a little bit immature so bear with it. The writing should be getting better as I get a clearer view of the world I want to create and build.

If lithium-sulfur batteries were like the nuclear fission of batteries, lithium-air batteries were like the nuclear fusion of batteries. The method of obtaining oxides from the outside air was the upper limit of the energy density of the lithium-anode battery.
Compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, the energy density of lithium-sulfur batteries was an order of magnitude higher. Compared with lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries were also an order of magnitude higher, in terms of energy density. Both the volume-energy density and mass-energy density were the same, a magnitude higher.
The only downside was that it probably wasn't suitable for mobile phones or satellites.
After all, the reason why the energy density of lithium-air batteries was high was that its oxides weren't integrated inside the battery, but were located outside the battery. Therefore, the battery needed to "breathe".
Mobile phones were often kept in tight pockets and satellites were kept away from Earth's atmosphere, making these devices difficult to take advantage of lithium-air batteries. However, for alternative energy vehicles or small drones, there wasn't a better energy storage device than lithium-air batteries.
Because of this, lithium-air batteries were much more difficult to create than lithium-sulfur batteries.
Not only was there the lithium dendrite problem, which plagued all lithium anode batteries, but lithium-air batteries also had extremely demanding material requirements. After all, lithium itself was a super reactive metal. Exposing it to the atmosphere meant one would have to make it react only with the oxygen in the atmosphere. 
Not to mention numerous other complex side effects.
The key to solving this problem was to find a thin film that could filter out water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases in the air and can accurately and quickly screen through oxygen molecules.
In fact, this technology was present in Debris No.1.
Unfortunately, the damage done to Debris No.1 was relatively large, and the layer of film was located on the surface of the debris. Even using the data collected with a scanner gun, there would still be a certain degree of difficulty to reverse engineer this technology.
Fortunately, Lu Zhou could rely on his intuition in the field of computing materials and his understanding of carbon-based materials to narrow down several technical routes that seemed more feasible. He then handed these technical routes to the researchers at the Institute of Computational Materials.
Since he was an academic leader, he didn't need to work on every project himself. All he had to do was plan the research direction and find a reliable technical route.
If this technology succeeded, its impact would spread beyond the battery field.
From manufacturing to medical devices, a lot of fields would benefit from this technology.
The Alternative Energy Vehicle Summit in Jinling was held for a total of two days, during which Lu Zhou received a lot of business cards. Even though he rarely contacted people in the capital investment field, people in the field were extremely interested in him.
Whether it was because of the Ling Yun medal or because of Star Sky Technology's research and development advantage, many people had exchanged business cards with him.
And no matter their intention, Lu Zhou responded politely to everyone who was interested in him.
Even though he didn't need their help right now, who knew what the future could hold?
After all, not all projects could be funded by the state.
A week after the summit had ended, at the end of October…
Autumn was the perfect season for Lu Zhou to sit in his office and study mathematical problems. He unexpectedly received an email from Switzerland.
It was from Edward Witten.
In this email, in addition to his greetings, Witten walked about CERN's latest research progress.
Especially regarding the "M particles".
[In regards to the "M particles" you predicted in your thesis, an exploration project has been scheduled in this month's experimental plan. If everything goes well, we will receive the results at the end of the month. We have held many meetings for this experiment, and we are all looking forward to seeing interesting things in the experiment.
[Finally, I hope you stay healthy and work hard. If there are any updates, I will tell you as soon as possible, even though I think CERN's press releases are faster than my emails.
[Also, do you know about a kind of tofu that looks like cheese? I'm not sure if it's a Jinling specialty, but putting that in bacon sandwiches is very delicious, I recommend you to try it. Unfortunately, I haven't found it in any supermarkets here… Can you send me some if you can? I'll pay you back of course. :P ]
The emoji at the end nearly made Lu Zhou spit out his coffee.
What the hell is chess-like tofu?
Is it fermented tofu?
Lu Zhou tapped on his keyboard and sent an email back.
[I think I know what you want.]
Lu Zhou clicked "Send" and closed the webpage. He was about to read a new thesis he just downloaded when his student Wu Shuimu walked in.
"Professor, are you going to eat at the cafeteria?"
"No, I have some documents to read… Oh yeah, if you can, bring me a bacon sandwich."
"Bacon sandwich? Sure," Wu Shuimu said as he nodded.
Lu Zhou said, "Also bring me a bottle of fermented tofu."
Wu Shuimu: "…?"
Regardless, he had to follow the professor's demands.
Wu Shuimu went to the supermarket and came back with a plastic bag.
"I brought you the sandwich… And the fermented tofu."
"Thank you."
Lu Zhou transferred Wu Shuimu some money for the food. Hesitantly, he spread some fermented tofu on the bacon sandwich and took a big bite.
The pungent, salty smell filled his nostrils. He leaned on his office chair and contemplated it for a bit. He looked at the tofu jar and threw it aside.
For f*ck's sake!
It's just salty as f*ck, how does this taste good at all?
…
The days quickly passed by, and it was soon the end of October.
Lu Zhou was preparing for the upcoming bidding conference for the moon landing project. He almost forgot about Witten's email when he suddenly heard exploding news from CERN.
In CERN's latest round of collision experiments, they tested the M particles predicted by Lu Zhou in his electrostrong interaction theory. Surprisingly, they were able to observe the existence of the particles from both the ATLAS and CMS detectors!
However, it was just a "signal". The standard deviation was 2.5 and 2.7 sigma, so it was far from being classified as a "discovery"; however, it was still very exciting!
If this signal could be confirmed as a discovery, the physics community would finally find a piece of the puzzle that was outside of the standard model. The so-called "new physics". People could finally give a clear explanation for things like the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap!
Also, this would become a major discovery, second only to the Higgs particle. It would be in the top ten greatest physics discoveries of the century!
Even if this century had only just begun…
Ever since this news was announced, it attracted a lot of attention from the international physics community.
The Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States jumped on the bandwagon and announced that they were preparing to repeat the experiment and check CERN experimental results. Other high-energy physics laboratories around the world had also started to prepare for the arrival of this new particle.
High-energy physics institutes weren't the only ones that were ecstatic, the entire theoretical physics community was overjoyed at the possibility of a particle bridging the gap between the strong interaction and electromagnetic force.
Particle physics theses on arXiv reached a record high. Many PhD students were eager to use this potential discovery as their graduation thesis. 
All of the physicists around the world were looking forward to this. The experiment at the Brookhaven National Laboratory was about to be carried out, and CERN's second experiment was carried out as scheduled.
However, China wasn't too excited about this news. The positron collider in Beijing didn't have the capability to repeat high-energy particle experiments.
However, even though the Chinese physics community stayed relatively calm, the aerospace field was blossoming.
On the first Friday of November, all the way in Harbin, a bidding conference for the manned moon landing project was held as scheduled…


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"
