Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 110: All Good Tasks
Compared to the feeling of no experience when upgrading from Lv0 to Lv1, Chen Zhou clearly felt the difference in this upgrade.
While upgrading, Chen Zhou felt a small warm current rushing through his mind, making him feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze and very comfortable.
"Oh~ so cool~" Chen Zhou couldn't help but murmur.
He didn't actually make any sound, but he felt comfortable on a conscious level.
However, this feeling only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.
Chen Zhou paused for a moment before looking at the display again.
His information on the display has been refreshed.
Chen Zhou wanted to continue upgrading his mathematics, but after taking a look, he found that upgrading from Lv2 to Lv3 actually required 10,000 experience points.
And the remaining 8,000 experience points he had were not enough, 2,000 short. This was very uncomfortable...
Chen Zhou sighed lightly and looked at the 8,000 experience points, hesitating a little.
Should we use it on other subjects and upgrade them as well?
But after some consideration, Chen Zhou finally decided to keep the 8,000 experience points and deal with it later.
Chen Zhou's eyes moved downwards and finally locked onto the taskbar.
He reached out and clicked on the flashing "Available" word in the taskbar.
New tasks have been refreshed.
"Available tasks:"
"1. A tall building starts from the ground, and the host's mathematical building starts from the first brick!"
"Task description: The host has already come into contact with the level of research topics. Please choose the cutting-edge direction of current mathematical research, independently complete a mathematical research topic, and successfully publish a paper."
"Task Reward: Based on the value of the host's final project paper and the impact factor of the journal in which it is published, a comprehensive consideration will be made to reward natural science experience points."
“2. Physics and mathematics are two subjects that penetrate and influence each other. The study of physics promotes the development of mathematics, and the progress of mathematics leads to the growth of physics. They are two inseparable basic subjects.”
"Task description: The host is determined to complete his undergraduate studies ahead of schedule, so why not take an additional physics course and obtain a bachelor's degree in physics."
"Task reward: Based on the time the host obtains the dual degree and the value of the relevant graduation thesis, a comprehensive consideration will be made and natural science experience points will be awarded."
“3. A study life without participating in competitions is incomplete. No matter how you look at it, it will be missing some of the fun.”
"Task description: You missed many opportunities in high school. Now that you are in college, why not experience it? The host needs to participate in at least one college academic competition to make up for the shortcomings of your academic career."
"Task Reward: Based on the actual situation of the competition and the host's ranking in the competition, a comprehensive consideration will be made to reward natural science experience points."
"Note 1: The time requirement for all three tasks is two years."
"Note 2: Please make a decision after comprehensive consideration. Your choice will affect the release of subsequent tasks."
Chen Zhou looked at the three tasks and two of them were worth noting. This mission gave him a different feeling than the previous ones.
Pay special attention to the tip in 2, which clearly tells him to think carefully before making a choice.
But what puzzled Chen Zhou was why there were no linguistics tasks in three consecutive missions?
Linguistics is not like applied science, which is applied science because he has not been exposed to it yet.
So even if there is no related task, Chen Zhou can understand it.
But linguistics, in theory, should be on the same level as the four major natural science disciplines of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.
But there was not a single mission, which made Chen Zhou feel very puzzled.
Chen Zhou tried to ask the system his questions, but the system remained silent.
Chen Zhou asked twice more, but the system still did not respond.
Chen Zhou felt more and more puzzled. Generally speaking, the system would give an explanation for the questions he asked.
Unable to get a response from the system, Chen Zhou had to temporarily suppress his doubts and look at the three task options again.
Task 1 basically continues Chen Zhou's current pace. He has learned most of the basic mathematics textbooks. After spending some time to finish learning the textbooks, he should start to do something else.
Task 2 also suits Chen Zhou's wishes. Just as the system said, since he is determined to complete his undergraduate studies in mathematics ahead of time, he might as well take one more course in another department.
As for whether it will be physics, Chen Zhou thinks physics is definitely necessary, but it does not mean that it is just physics.
For him, since he has the spare time, he might as well learn more.
Task 3 also aroused Chen Zhou's great interest. He had not officially participated in the competition yet, let alone ranking. As the system said, this was a pity!
What should I do? Chen Zhou wants to ...
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhou asked, "System, can I have them all?"
Unlike the linguistic questions asked by Chen Zhou, the system immediately refreshed a new prompt on the display screen.
"Host, please choose a new mission as soon as possible."
Chen Zhou glanced at the new prompt, curled his lips, and asked again: "Two, can I choose two?"
Another new line of prompts: "Host, please choose a new task as soon as possible."
"Okay..." Chen Zhou could only helplessly think about which one to choose from the three options.
Judging from the task descriptions, the intensity of the three tasks decreases in sequence.
Relatively speaking, the corresponding task rewards should also decrease in sequence...
Of course, the actual rewards obtained will not be equal to the foreseeable maximum rewards.
For example, Task 1 is the most challenging task, and its task reward is determined based on a comprehensive consideration of the paper level and the journal’s impact factor.
If Chen Zhou conducts very valuable research and has his paper published in a top journal, then his task reward will definitely be the highest.
But this possibility is relatively small.
The reward for Task 2 is measured based on time requirements and the value of the paper, so it is much less challenging than Task 1.
Because for Chen Zhou at the moment, time requirements are more important than journal factors, and he can better control his own time.
As for Mission 3, it is the only mission where you can foresee the reward.
After all, the results of college students’ subject competitions can be inferred by referring to previous competitions.
Therefore, the actual reward obtained is different from the maximized reward in imagination.
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhou finally decided to choose Task 1 to challenge the first step in his mathematical building.
Reaching out and clicking on the option for Task 1, Chen Zhou selected the task.
"A tall building rises from the ground, and the host's mathematical building starts from the first brick!"
"The mission was successfully selected. Please pay attention to the mission time and cherish the mission opportunity."
The system prompt sounded, and the other two task options immediately disappeared from the display.
Chen Zhou's information interface reappeared on the display screen, and the words "Available" in the task bar changed to "Task in progress..."
Although Chen Zhou chose Task 1, the descriptions of Task 2 and Task 3 also piqued Chen Zhou's interest.
