Chapter 26: Genius?
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Raymond tidied up his dormitory. The moment he stepped into the school, the sound of a system notification rang in his mind.
[You are strolling in the school of knowledge. The learning atmosphere is thick. Reward:+1]
[You are learning… +1]
Such a notification rang from time to time. Ever since he entered the school, it had never stopped.
In this short period of time, coupled with the 100 points he received when he entered the school, Raymond now had 110 points.
“Open the system interface.”
[Host: Raymond]
[Vitality: 10]
[Intelligence: 11]
[Spiritual Force: 10]
[Learning Points: 110]
[Skills: Qi and Blood Body Refining Technique (Beginner)…]
The system store had already opened.
Seeing that his learning points were increasing at a rate of every minute, Raymond was still a little happy. Then, he closed the interface.
He took a look at the things in the system store. They were all related to technology, such as the F16 upgraded engine, the new paint of the stealth plane, the design of the sixth-generation radar…
They were all good things, but Raymond couldn’t afford any of them. It was very difficult to even get the cheapest learning points.
Fortunately, Raymond could increase his learning points by wandering around the school. He believed that the acquisition of learning points would definitely be related to learning in cla.s.s.
With this thought in mind, Raymond listened to the sound of the notification as he wandered around the school.
Stepping into the interior of West Point, Raymond began to learn more about the first military academy in the United States.
The buildings inside were all very special. Some of the buildings were built from marble, dating back to before the founding of the People’s Republic.
Everything inside had its origins. There was the most important statue of the headmaster of West Point, and the statue of the first Five-Star Generals of West Point, Macarthur and Eisenhower.
Although it was a military academy, the atmosphere inside was gentle. There was an auditorium inside, and the candles inside would never go out, symbolizing those who died on the battlefield.
The sacrifice rate of West Point graduates on the battlefield was also among the highest. Entering West Point meant that you would enter the military service for about four years after graduation and serve as a reserve for a long time after retirement.
The alumni of West Point were not only powerful in the military, but also in other fields. Their bodies and minds could be qualified for any job and made them the best in the industry.
After a short while, Raymond came to the library after eating.
He took out his ID and entered the library. Although the school had just started, the library was full of people. Almost all of them were wearing training clothes.
Their clothes were neatly organized, full of energy, and extremely serious.
Raymond came in with a loud sound, but no one looked up. They were all immersed in the books.
Raymond saw that there was no s.p.a.ce, so he went straight to the bookshelf and picked up a book to read.
[Host is learning. Learning Points+20.]
Hearing the system’s notification, Raymond’s eyes lit up.
His guess was indeed correct. Wandering around the school, he would only get a little more learning points each time, but he could get 20 points if he came to the library to read and learn.
It seemed that learning points could only be rapidly increased by relying on learning.
This thought was fixed in his mind, and Raymond read even more enthusiastically.
…
As night fell, Raymond finished reading and returned to his exclusive dormitory, but his hands were still holding the books he had borrowed from the library.
After such a long period of study, his learning points had already reached 610 points!
He continued to study in the dormitory. Only by increasing his learning points would he have a chance to obtain more knowledge and more things in the shopping mall.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Mr. Raymond?”
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
“I’m here,” Raymond replied immediately.
The door opened and a student wearing academy attire walked in.
“Student, let me inform you that we are going to have a meeting right now. It’s in Room 302 of F Building. It’s about to start. You are the last one to be informed.”
Raymond put down the textbook in his hands, stood up, and returned to the bedroom to change into his own clothes. He smiled and said to him, “Alright, let’s go.”
…
In the princ.i.p.al’s office.
West Point’s princ.i.p.al, Lieutenant General Rawls, was sitting in his office with a doc.u.ment in his hand.
He had just returned from the Pentagon when he heard that Raymond had come over by helicopter. He could not help but sigh in his heart: This Thomas had really placed a big bet.
Rawls and Thomas had been cla.s.smates at West Point back then, but Rawls was a few years older than him and had partic.i.p.ated in the Gulf War, so he was a grade higher than Thomas.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Before Rawls could answer, the door was pushed open.
An old man wearing a white coat unique to researchers walked in.
“President, the thermal imaging protection in the individual combat equipment combination we studied still has all kinds of problems. It’s fine in places with a lot of heat sources, but in places with a lack of heat sources… In that case…”
The old man looked worried.
“Is the test result still not good? Professor Hansen…” Rawls smiled bitterly.
The thermal imaging protection was not used much on the battlefield, but the cost of developing materials was very high. The military equipment companies thought that the order was very low and the cost was indeed high. It was likely that the research and development would not make the money back.
The princ.i.p.al looked at Professor Hansen’s haggard face and knew that this matter could not be rushed.
“This project has been going on for so long, and you have not had a good rest. It is really tiring. If you really can’t do it, you can put your work aside and let the people below do it.”
“But the night vision and infrared imaging are so advanced now, and our progress is so slow. Although the current war is led by missiles, we still have to pay attention to the soldiers’ equipment. They are the first to reach the battlefield and the last to leave the battlefield.”
Seeing that Professor Hansen still wanted to continue his research, he knew that he had to change the topic.
The princ.i.p.al looked at the information in front of him and suddenly slapped his thigh. “By the way, Professor Hansen, do you know? A mysterious genius has come to our school and is now in our School of Science.”
When Professor Hansen heard this, he finally diverted his attention. “Genius? What genius?”
The princ.i.p.al saw that Professor Hansen’s attention was no longer on his research and quickly said, “Do you know that there is a student who came by helicopter today?”
“Oh? What does a genius have to do with a helicopter?” Professor Hansen asked.
