Standing in a pure white space, Lu Zhou walked in front of the translucent holographic panel. He finally saw the reassuring prompt.
[Congratulations, User, for completing the urgent mission "Call of the Void".
[Mission completion status: The path to the truth is not always smooth sailing. There are too many endless mysteries hidden in the vast universe that we do not understand. Like the song sung by the sirens in the stormy waters, only the strong-willed can pass the test and go to the legendary utopia …]
[Mission evaluation: S +]
[Reward: 1 million physics experience points, Void Explorer Medal, Gift from the Void (S-level evaluation special), Earth Civilization Materialism Tradition + 10.]
A million experience points reward was a large sum of money.
When Lu Zhou saw the golden light particles rush from the mission panel to the characteristic panel, he had a fatherly smile on his face.
How long has it been?
He almost forgot about this feeling of joy.
The reward of this mission could be described as a bountiful harvest. He had been stuck at level 8 for a long time, but he finally took a big step toward level 9.
However, what made Lu Zhou a little confused was what this Void Explorer Medal was.
"Last time, I think it was the Civilization Savior Medal … Is there any special meaning in collecting this thing?"
Or would the observer civilization from the void issue him a visa or an honorary citizenship certificate if he received too many honors?
The faint black light floating in his hand was like a beating heart. Lu Zhou held it in his right palm, and he felt a faint warmth in his palm.
Compared to the sturdy Civilization Savior Medal, this "Void Explorer" medal was very light. Except for a bronze button the size of a thumbnail that could be pinned to the chest, the rest of the medal was like a holographic projection, beautiful and illusory, like the Void itself.
However, it was more advanced than the holographic technology on Earth. It did not need water vapor as a medium, and it did not use the Tyndall effect at all. It was like directly projecting the image into reality, making it impossible for people to guess how it was done just by looking at it.
Lu Zhou watched it change shape in his palm. After observing it for a while, he put it back into his inventory, next to the Civilization Savior Medal.
Perhaps in the distant future, when the veil of the Void was completely lifted, he would be fortunate enough to know the true meaning behind these medals. As for now, it was better to treat it as a collectible and leave it alone.
In addition to the medal, the system also rewarded him with an S + rating.
Lu Zhou didn't know if it was because he was too lazy, but he remembered that it had been a long time since he had received an S rating or above.
Looking at the holographic panel, [Do you want to open the gift of the void?] In the dialog box, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and ordered.
"Open!"
A light blue light floated out of the holographic panel and approached Lu Zhou by half an inch.
Looking at the light purple light floating in front of him, Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment before reaching out his right hand. His fingertips touched the core of the light.
It was different from what he expected.
It wasn't as rough as when he read the Void's memories. Instead, a warm current wrapped around his fingertips.
Lu Zhou had a strange expression on his face.
"Subspace? Or … a fragment of some high-dimensional existence? "
"Unbelievable …"
His entire hand did not pass through the ball of light. Instead, he inserted it directly into an alien space that was as viscous as paste. That space was so deep that the bottom could not be seen. At the very least, it was much larger than the actual volume of the light particles.
Lu Zhou put his entire arm in. While he was wondering what the void was trying to give him, his right hand suddenly touched something hard.
Almost subconsciously, Lu Zhou grabbed it and pulled it out of the light purple light.
Just after his right hand was completely pulled out of the light, the light purple light quickly shrank into a dot and disappeared into nothingness.
Lu Zhou also felt his clenched fist sink slightly, and a hard and cold texture gradually came from his palm.
"This is …"
Opening his palm, looking at the metal tube about the size of a pen, Lu Zhou's face gradually showed an expression of interest.
On the side of the metal cylinder, there was a translucent glass groove with a scale line. Through the glass groove, a small amount of dark green liquid could be seen.
Gently shaking it, the viscous liquid was like gel, slowly crawling in the glass tube. The expression of interest on Lu Zhou's face became more and more intense.
"Nutrient supply? No, it shouldn't be such a garbage thing. "
Intuition told him that it should be some special biomass, or a chemical substance that brought a beneficial effect to organic life.
Of course, he didn't rule out the possibility that it was something dangerous.
But so far, The Observer Civilization had shown him more than neutral goodwill. If they really wanted to trap him, they wouldn't have buried the pit here.
"Anyway, I'll take it to the laboratory to test."
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou immediately exited the system space, jumped up from the bed, took out his phone, and called Wang Peng.
"Come pick me up downstairs."
"Roger that."
After a while, the sound of a car came from outside the mansion, and a beam of headlights could be vaguely seen through the window.
Lu Zhou, who went downstairs, told Xiao Ai to look after the house. He then went to the cloakroom to change his clothes, put on his shoes, and went out the door.
When he walked through the open courtyard door to the roadside, the electric car was already parked under the street lamp.
Wang Peng, who opened the car door for Lu Zhou, started the car and asked casually.
"Are you still going to the research institute this late?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhou took out his phone and connected to the database of the Institute for Advanced Study. He checked the usage of various biological laboratories and replied casually, "Because there's something I can't wait to figure out."
Something I can't wait to figure out?
Even though he was curious about what it was, Wang Peng didn't say anything and focused on driving the car to the parking lot of the Institute for Advanced Study.
He turned off the engine and looked at Lu Zhou.
"Do you need me to wait for you here?"
Lu Zhou unbuckled his seat belt and replied, "No, you can go back first."
Wang Peng: "Are you sure you don't need to? I don't really care. "
"I'm sure." Lu Zhou nodded and looked in the direction of the research institute. He said, "I plan to stay here tonight, I probably won't go back."
