844 Golden Mission Card?

[Congratulations, user, for completing the second phase of the “Control of Earth and Moon” mission: Permanent Station on the Moon

[Requirements: Construct a semi-permanent scientific research station on the Moon’s surface for astronomical observations, as well as observation of climate activities and high-energy particle physics experiments.

[Reward: 200,000 mathematics experience points. 200,000 engineering experience points. 100,000 materials science experience points. 50,000 energy science experience points. 500 general points. One lucky draw ticket.

[Secondary goals:

1. Three feet deep: Collect 50 tons of rare lunar soil. Reward: 1,000 general points, random experience points card. (completed)

2. Alchemist: Produce 100 tons of titanium alloy. Reward: 500 general points, 100,000 experience points, one lucky draw ticket. (completed)

Lu Zhou: “…”

Lu Zhou looked at the information screen and didn’t feel happy at all. In fact, he was cursing himself.

The lunar hotel is already under construction, per Chen Yushan’s suggestion. The one-day lunar tourist scheme was just posted on Star Sky Technology’s website. But now you’re telling me the second phase of the mission is over?

What about the lunar hadron collider, and the giant lunar telescope…

They had already finished the design for the lunar hadron collider, but they hadn’t begun preparing for the giant telescope.

Lu Zhou didn’t expect the branch missions to be completed by themselves, but now the system was telling him the main mission was completed as well?!

For the first phase, I have to submit the mission myself, right?

How come it was automatically submitted for the second phase…

Lu Zhou closed the panel and shook his head.

All in all, the mission rewards were quite plentiful.

Lu Zhou took a deep breath and looked at the information screen in front of him. He spoke with a clear voice.

“System, open my characteristic panel!”

The moment he finished speaking, a blue light swept across the screen, and Lu Zhou’s updated characteristic panel was displayed in front of him.

[

A. Mathematics: Level 8 (974,000/3 million)

B. Physics: Level 7 (11,215/1.2 million)

C. Biochemistry: Level 6 (10,000/600,000)

D. Engineering: Level 6 (0/600,000)

E. Materials science: Level 6 (163,000/600,000)

F. Energy science: Level 4 (0/200,000)

G. Information science: Level 3 (3,000/100,000)

General points: 4,335

]

His engineering went from level 5 to level 6, energy science went from level 3 to level 4. The rest stayed the same.

As for the remaining 100,000 experience points…

Lu Zhou thought for a while and chose to allocate all of them to information science, which made his information science level go from level 3 to level 4. Even though he could receive information science experience points from his branch missions, due to the importance of informatics in the aerospace industry, it was cost-effective for him to level up as soon as possible.

“Speaking of which, I still have a random experience card…”

Lu Zhou went into his inventory and selected the golden experience card.

[Random experience card (receive 1-9,999,999 random experience points.]

I can win seven digits of experience points!

But I can also only earn 1…

After reading the card description, Lu Zhou gulped.

If I receive 2 million experience points, I can increase my mathematics to level 9!

“Is the system going to scam me again?”

Lu Zhou silently prayed in his heart. His fingers trembled as he reached out and tapped the card.

An animation showed the card disappearing into golden stars. A line of text appeared on the system inventory panel.

[Congratulations, user, 100,000 mathematics experience points received!]

As expected, he didn’t receive 7 figures of experience points.

He knew the system wouldn’t be so kind to him.

Even though this was a little unfortunate, the 100,000 experience points was still pretty good.

Lu Zhou closed his inventory panel and returned to his characteristic panel.

“Here comes the exciting part.”

Because of his branch mission rewards, he had two lucky draw tickets.

Since it turned out that praying was useless, Lu Zhou didn’t waste any time. He closed his eyes and pressed the draw buttons.

It turned out he was pretty lucky this time.

[Congratulations, user, a sample is given!

[Receive: “Transcendence” X-1 computer!]

[Congratulations, user, special item received!

[Received: Golden mission card!]

Lu Zhou didn’t really care about the Transcendence X-1 computer since he could tinker with that in his laboratory at a later date. He was more interested in the golden mission card.

He reached out and tapped his inventory panel, where a translucent dialog box popped up.

[Golden mission card (A special mission card that comes with bonus experience points). Use it to activate a golden reward mission. If the user is currently assigned to another mission, the golden reward mission will take priority until the golden reward mission has either been completed or abandoned.]

“Bonus experience points… What does that mean?”

The description read like a mobile video game.

Lu Zhou was curious. Since there was a golden mission card, were there also a silver mission card and a diamond mission card?

“Current mission will be paused… Does that mean it’s similar to urgent missions?”

But it’s not actually an urgent mission, and I can abandon the mission at any time?

Regardless, I should look at the final missions for the Control of Earth and Moon mission chain.

Lu Zhou left the card alone and went to his mission panel.

Now that the lucky draw was completed, his mission panel should have been updated.

He clicked on the translucent panel, and a dialog box appeared in front of him.

[Goal 3: Control of Earth and Moon!

[Requirements: Build a mass driver on the lunar surface with a delivery capacity of 50 tons.]

[Secondary goals: …]

When Lu Zhou read this mission, he froze.

What surprised him wasn’t that the system had the same idea as him.

When he looked at the secondary goals section, he saw that the unfinished branch missions from phase two were transferred into phase three…

It seemed like he didn’t miss out on the branch mission rewards after all.

But this also meant he had a lot of missions to do…
