Chapter 30 Truth!
Li Ang asked疑惑地问道：“Martin, what do you mean?”
Martin looked slightly pained, but smiled and said, "Listen, I heard Kayla Nolan is interested in sending you to college. I think college tuition is quite expensive, so you can use this."
Li Ang opened the envelope; inside were approximately three thousand US dollars.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Ang said, "Martin, I haven't agreed to help you sell medicine yet."
Martin shook his head. "Remember, we were friends. I changed my mind when I found out you could go to the best university in Chicago."
"Although I think 'Shuyue' and 'Cardeo' are good products, the FDA hasn't approved them. There are always risks in doing this kind of thing. I can't let you risk going to jail or being treated like trash at university just so I can make you more money."
"It's better for me to handle the money-making myself; you should focus on your studies."
"But let me make this clear first: this three thousand dollars is a temporary loan to you. Once you find more family heirlooms, remember to transfer them to me, and I'll deduct it from your account. As a friend, I won't charge you interest."
Li Ang was genuinely surprised by what Martin said.
Actually, before meeting Martin today, Li Ang had thought it over carefully and realized that selling medicine was still quite risky.
In contrast, Li Ang prefers to travel between the two worlds, gradually moving things towards America, which he believes is safer and more reliable.
Although the efficiency is lower, in a sense, slow is fast.
At least initially, he should be a law-abiding and good person.
Martin's offer of three thousand dollars left Li Ang somewhat uneasy. He stared at the old man in front of him, unsure of what to say.
Martin smiled, his stubble-covered face a mask of disapproval, though the lingering look in his eyes as he glanced at the dollars betrayed him slightly. "Li Ang, you must study hard at university and not let old Martin's good intentions go to waste."
Li Ang nodded and replied earnestly, "Thank you, Martin. I'll remember this favor."
……
Back home, Li Ang hung up his newly bought rifle, went to his desk, and continued to look through his math materials.
After these days of hard work, my math experience has reached Level 1 (196/200), and I only need 4 more experience points to level up.
In addition, there is 1 point of subject experience on the system panel that Li Ang has not added.
All things considered, he only needs to grind 3 more points of math experience to gain 0.3 attribute points, a large amount of learning coins, and new system features.
"Nothing much to say, just learn it."
Li Ang activated [Mental Focus], and his consciousness instantly immersed itself in the ocean of mathematical knowledge.
Time passed by, second by second.
[Your hard work has earned you +1 math experience]
[Your hard work has earned you +1 math experience]
[Your hard work has earned you +1 math experience]
Li Ang finally accumulated 199 experience points, and then added the experience points he had previously accumulated.
Mathematics: Level 2 (200/400)
[The subject has reached the advanced level for the first time]
[Reward: 100 Learning Coins]
[Reward: 30% increase in learning efficiency]
[Reward: Attribute Points +0.2]
[Reward: All skills increased by 30%]
[Skills: Interdimensional Travel (50%), Mental Focus (50%)]
[Inspiration burst feature is now enabled]
[Task: Improve your studies and raise your math score to Level 2. Completed]
[Reward: Attribute Points +0.3, Learning Coins +100]
Math has been upgraded!
As lines of small text came into view on the transparent panel, Li Ang was overjoyed.
His hard work studying math day and night these past few days has finally paid off.
Skipping over the familiar massive amounts of learning coins and learning efficiency rewards, Li Ang focused his attention on attribute point rewards.
0.2!
With the 0.3 attribute points gained from completing the task, he now has a total of 0.5 attribute points at his disposal.
"I've never fought such a costly battle!"
"System, add points!"
With a slight thought, Li Ang allocated 0.4 points to Intelligence.
[Intelligence: 1.3] → [Intelligence: 1.7]!
A sense of familiarity arose, and as his intelligence soared to 1.7, Li Ang felt that his reaction speed and thinking speed had reached a level that he could not have comprehended before, and his memory also improved significantly.
Although he doesn't compare himself to other scholars and scientists, Li Ang feels that he can now be called a "mathematician".
In his previous life, Li Ang often heard people say that mathematics was a magical subject.
Before getting a perfect score in math, those top students who got perfect scores seemed superior to everyone else.
Only after putting in tremendous effort and getting perfect scores on regular exams do you realize you're in an abyss, looking up to see immortals flying in the sky.
Li Ang felt that although he was still far from becoming an immortal, he had at least learned the mathematical skill of levitation.
At least for him, advanced mathematics within the university framework was no longer a challenge.
As for why Li Ang wanted to keep 0.1 attribute points, it was simply because he wanted to retain a "magic bottle" that could fully restore mana at any time in order to deal with some difficult crises.
Gathering his thoughts, Li Ang turned his attention to the system's new features, and inspiration struck.
After studying it for a while, Li Ang understood how to use the new function of the system.
He can spend 100 learning coins to activate an inspiration burst function similar to a lucky draw.
But no matter how nicely it's described, a spinning wheel is essentially a lottery.
From an expectation perspective, basically whoever draws the ticket loses out.
Not to mention that Li Ang had terrible luck for over a decade in his previous life, and he had never won the lottery.
Now you spend 100 learning coins at a time to try your luck at elusive inspiration.
That's really inappropriate.
It wasn't until Li Ang saw the line of small gold text below the roulette wheel: "First use of the Inspiration Burst function has greatly improved the quality of the inspiration obtained."
"I still have 308 learning coins left, that's plenty!"
"They're just leaving it there without paying interest."
"One time, then stop."
With that thought in mind, Li Ang focused his attention on the system's "Inspiration Burst" button, and a second-level wheel-shaped page popped up.
The roulette wheel didn't display specific rewards; instead, the knob was labeled with eight levels: Beginner, Proficient, Intermediate, Professional, Elite, Master, Legendary, and Truth.
The probability of obtaining each level is unknown.
Based on the prompt given by the system after upgrading to level 2 in mathematics, level 2 mathematics corresponds to the advanced level, and Li Ang estimates that level 3 mathematics corresponds to the professional level, and so on.
Is advanced mathematics roughly equivalent to mastering university-level mathematics?
Their professional mathematics level is at the level of a domestic master's student, or at the level of a half-step philosophy doctoral student abroad.
What kind of strength do the Legendary and Truth levels correspond to?
Li Ang was unsure of the outcome, but he had a vague expectation for it.
Moreover, he always felt that this system of categorizing inspirations was quite similar to the wizarding levels in Ioria.
Wizards spend their lives pursuing the truth, or perhaps above legendary wizards, there is a concept of a truth wizard?
Li Ang's thoughts were racing.
However, he knew that there was one more thing he needed to do before he could get the roulette wheel spinning.
I'm going to the restroom to wash my face!
