Scholar’s Advanced Technological System - Chapter 829

Chapter 829 – Afk Mission

Lu Zhou finished eating his lunch while talking with Chen Yushan. His lunch break was almost over.

Chen Yushan walked Lu Zhou back to the mathematics department building and told him not to forget about the Russian visiting group. After that, she reluctantly waved goodbye and left.

Lu Zhou returned to his office and sorted out his lesson plans from yesterday. After he confirmed with Assistant Zhao that he had an afternoon class, he went to Building A.

He had a number theory lecture this afternoon. His class was considered a mathematics elective course.

Even though most of the time his PhD student He Changwen lectured for him, seeing how the semester was almost over, Lu Zhou decided he should at least give one lecture.

He didn?t know why, but he felt like the students in the classroom were staring at him instead of the blackboard…

Lu Zhou couldn?t help but feel a little frustrated.

He didn?t realize that his lecturing abilities had fallen to the point where the students were more interested in him than his content.

He thought back to when he was lecturing at Princeton University. Students from other classes would bring their own chairs just to sit in the lecture hall.

It seemed like he had to practice giving more lectures…

Soon, all four of the blackboards were filled with writing. The classroom bell rang.

Lu Zhou closed the textbook and looked at the students. He was about to give them a summary when he suddenly saw a blue window appear in his sight.

[

Branch mission complete:

4: Alchemist: Produce 100 tons of titanium alloy.

]

Complete?

Already?

Lu Zhou was surprised internally, but he didn?t show it on his face.

He cleared his throat and spoke to the students.

?The class is over for now. Take a five minutes break, and we will continue later.?

Lu Zhou left the classroom and went into the nearby toilet. He went inside a stall and summoned the system.

He walked in front of the information screen and pressed a button. His mission panel was displayed in front of him.

[

?Control of Earth and Moon? second phase:

Crowded Planet: 24-hour active population on the moon has to exceed 100

2: Spark of the Future: Large hadron collider on the moon.

Three Feet Deep: Collect 50 tons of rare lunar soil.

Alchemist: Produce 100 tons of titanium alloy (complete)

5 Look Back on the Earth: Establish a semi-permanent Earth meteorological observation station in the Moon?s orbit.

Look into the distance: Set up a large space telescope on the Moon to produce more detailed observations of the planets in the solar system, as well as observations on extraterrestrial galaxies.

]

Lu Zhou looked at the completed mission and couldn?t help but think.

All he did was write a letter asking for funding. Then, after a few months, the mission was complete.

This was basically AFK farming.

Unfortunately, he couldn?t receive any of his branch mission rewards before the second phase of the main mission was complete.

He also didn?t know what kind of rewards the branch missions gave…

?… Five more branch missions left??

Lu Zhou looked at the remaining missions and rubbed his chin.

The first was easy to solve. He just had to organize a tourist group of a hundred people. Now that the Magpie Bridge was complete, this mission was relatively easy to accomplish.

As for the third mission, he was able to mine titanium ores on the Moon, so lunar soil was no problem. The mission only required him to collect the soil, and it might even be profitable to ship the soil back to Earth.

He didn?t really care about the rest of the mission.

It was unrealistic for him to complete all of the branch missions; completing half of them was already pretty good.

After Lu Zhou exited the system space, he was about to leave his toilet stall. However, he heard someone using the faucet.

He planned on leaving the stall anyway, but when he happened to hear the two students mention his name, he sat back down and began listening.

As a professor, he was quite interested in what the students had to say about him.

?Did you understand God Lu?s lecture??

?I understood half of it, how about you??

The guy with glasses sighed and said, ?A third. Sigh, I want to understand it, but I?m not good enough.?

The guy using the faucet said, ?Yeah, I guess his lectures are always difficult.?

The guy in glasses: ?Probably! But even God Lu doesn?t have a girlfriend, that makes me feel a little better, at least I have one.?

?Haha, how do you know he?s single, what if he?s just lowkey??

The guy in glasses waved his hand.

?I can tell.?

Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them.

?Oh, really now? How can you tell??

The two guys looked back, and when they saw Lu Zhou, it was like they saw a ghost.

?F*ck, God Lu!?

?Professor Lu!?

Lu Zhou smiled and didn?t say anything. He just stared at the two guys.

?Professor… We were just…? The guy in glasses scratched his head and said cleverly, ?We were just talking about how handsome you are!?

Lu Zhou: ?…?

F*ck sake!

Do you think I?m deaf?

Also, no sh*t I?m handsome.

Lu Zhou didn?t want to waste any more time on these two dumba*ses, so he said, ?Go back to class.?

?Yes, sir!?

The two students disappeared.

Lu Zhou looked at the toilet door close and sighed.

He never realized how good it felt to be a professor.

However…

Am I making a bad example? Will these undergraduate students think mathematicians are all loners?

Speaking of which, I?m not getting any younger.

My parents are going to nag me about this when I see them.

?… Forget about it, I?ll wait for a couple more years.?

Lu Zhou shook his head.

He wasn?t avoiding this problem.

It was just that he hadn?t figured out how to maintain a family yet.

Research took up most of his time, and he didn?t have the energy to be a boyfriend, much less a father…

Lu Zhou returned to the classroom and opened his lesson plan. He turned to the last page.

?Turn your textbooks to page 47.?

Paper shuffling sounds filled the classroom. Some students looked surprised.

?… The first half of the class covered basic number theory. In the second half, I?ll talk about something interesting. Something I am currently researching.?

He turned to the blackboard and wrote down two words.

[Riemann?s hypothesis]

The moment he wrote down the words, the classroom went into an uproar.

Lu Zhou slammed his hand down on the table and tried to get the students? attention. He spoke in a clear and loud voice.

?I speak quite quickly.?

?Listen carefully.?
