"Although electronic screen optical materials are just a small niche market, their application volume is immeasurable and can be continuously expanded. The future is limitless."

On the high-speed train, Zhou Feiyu's heart was filled with excitement. Although his eyes were looking at the scenery rushing past outside the window, his thoughts had long since drifted away. He still remembered the scene from a month ago, on the first day of work after the new year began.

Zhou Feiyu was twenty-eight years old, turning thirty by traditional reckoning. Having started school early, he became classmates with Wang Wei, who was two years older than him. Both graduated from key universities.

However, Zhou Feiyu's parents were not in good health, so to take care of his family, he found a job in his hometown county after graduating from university. With a degree from a key university, he earned a salary of 10,000 yuan, working in low-end material research and development.

Nanjiang Province was a medium-sized economic province, but the economic scale of the entire province was only comparable to that of Peng City. Economically, there was no comparison.

In a small fifth-tier county, the average salary was generally between 1,500 and 2,000 yuan, and five to six thousand was already considered high pay.

It was because Zhou Feiyu had a degree from a key university that the company valued him and offered him a top monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, which was the same level as their department manager.

Of course, compared to housing prices, this was nothing, because even in the small county where he lived, housing prices had reached 10,000 yuan per square meter, floating in the clouds.

For five years, Zhou Feiyu worked diligently. Although he didn't make major breakthroughs in material research and development, he led his team to overcome many technical difficulties, secured some well-known major clients, and created great value for the company.

However, this was not what Zhou Feiyu wanted.

Any fresh graduate, especially one from a key university, is full of passion and ambition, aiming to create a world-shaking career.

Zhou Feiyu was no exception. He even wanted to leave his name in history, leaving his own indelible mark on the entire country's development history.

But reality is often cruel.

Zhou Feiyu, with his average talent, had ambition but lacked the corresponding ability. Five years had made him realize that his ability was limited to this.

Especially after five years, at the age of thirty by traditional reckoning, he, who had worked hard, began to feel a lack of energy. He was no longer the eighteen-year-old young man who could drink twenty or thirty bottles of beer and be fine.

Now, one bottle of wine made him feel a little dizzy.

It wasn't until the first day after the new year began this year, on his way to work, that a sudden bolt from the blue struck. A lightning bolt hit a small tree by the roadside, and a small, silver, thumb-sized ball fell down.

After being startled, Zhou Feiyu curiously went to pick it up.

"Beep! Carbon-based intelligent life detected, Galaxy Technology Library activated!"

As soon as he touched the silver ball, it turned into a silver light and disappeared. Instead, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

Then, a flood of information rushed into Zhou Feiyu's consciousness.

Afterward, Zhou Feiyu learned that this silver ball was an extraterrestrial object. It appeared on Earth from somewhere in the universe, and he picked it up. It was a technological creation containing countless scientific and technological knowledge, named the "Galaxy Technology Library." It was built with spatial technology and was extremely mysterious.

With the current level of Earth's technology, such a technological creation was undoubtedly of mythical and legendary level, quite similar to the mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru mentioned in Buddhism.

However, this "Galaxy Technology Library" was too vast, and most of it was sealed, requiring one's own knowledge and ability to unlock it. Zhou Feiyu could currently only unlock some low-level technologies, which were not much different from Earth's technology.

By leveraging the nature of his material research and development work, Zhou Feiyu managed to unlock a technology that made his eyes light up: "Basic Optical Film."

Then, Zhou Feiyu worked hard for a month with the resources he had accumulated over the years, developed the "Basic Optical Film," made ten square meters of samples, and planned the next step.

The key to the plan was his old classmate, Wang Wei, who was a project manager at Hua Long Technology.

Of course, one shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket. He also had a backup plan.

"Hello, can you help me with something?"

At this moment, a gentle female voice suddenly came from beside him.

Zhou Feiyu snapped back to reality and turned his head. A tall, slender girl with long hair draped over her shoulders and a small bun on top was speaking to him.

The tall, slender girl wore jeans that showed off her two straight, slender, beautiful legs. She had on flat canvas shoes and a waist-length black down jacket. Her face was round, with single eyelids and thin lips. She had a light dusting of powder on her face, her skin was fair, and her demeanor was simple.

Her large, clear eyes gazed at him gently, causing his heart to warm.

With just one look, this girl gave Zhou Feiyu a few impressions.

Good figure! Gentle! Dutiful!

The down jacket concealed her figure, but based on her two beautiful legs alone, her figure was definitely not bad.

Seeing Zhou Feiyu look over, the tall, slender girl gave an embarrassed smile and then asked, "Hello, my suitcase is too heavy. Can you help me lift it up?"

She first pointed to her suitcase and then to the luggage rack above the seat.

"Okay."

Zhou Feiyu immediately nodded in agreement. He then put his backpack on the seat, stepped out, helped her lift the suitcase, and placed it on the luggage rack.

The tall, slender girl nodded and thanked him, "Thank you."

Only then did Zhou Feiyu realize that this girl was truly tall. Even in flat shoes, her height reached his ears. He couldn't help but think, I'm one meter seventy-eight, she must be one meter seventy-two or one meter seventy-three.

Girls in the south are generally not tall, hovering around one meter sixty. Those who exceed one meter seventy are absolutely rare.

If this tall, slender girl wore high heels, there really wouldn't be many guys who could withstand her looking down on them.

She's probably afraid of scaring guys away, which is why she wears flat shoes.

Such a thought suddenly popped into Zhou Feiyu's mind.

The tall, slender girl's seat was to Zhou Feiyu's left. After they sat down, they didn't speak again.

They were just passing acquaintances, and Zhou Feiyu, being a science student, was very much a straight man who had no idea how to pursue girls. That's why he was still single at almost thirty. Naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation with this tall, slender girl.

The tall, slender girl couldn't help but glance at him twice. Seeing that he wasn't speaking, she also remained silent, quietly taking out her earphones and listening to music.

Zhou Feiyu quickly put the matter out of his mind. After sitting back in his seat, his heart stirred, and a light screen invisible to others appeared before his eyes.

Name: Zhou Feiyu. Age: 28 Gender: Male Scientific Knowledge: A. Chinese: LV1 (200/10000) B. Mathematics: LV0 (0/1000) C. Foreign Language: LV0 (0/1000) D. Physics: LV0 (0/1000) E. Biology: LV0 (0/1000) F. Geography: LV0 (0/1000)

G. Mechanical Drawing: LV1 (400/10000)

H. Structural Design: LV1 (1300/10000)

I. Materials Science: LV1 (2200/10000)

Specialized Technology: ① Basic Optical Film

Current Points: 4100

Task: Successfully promote Basic Optical Film and gain customer recognition (Claimed).

Completing each task will award points. The number of points awarded varies depending on the task's difficulty, and the next task can only be unlocked after completing the current one. The current task has a time limit of one month."

This was the Galaxy Technology Library's evaluation of the current Zhou Feiyu.

Each scientific knowledge category upgrades as points increase. The total points for all scientific knowledge currently add up to 4100.

Among them, Materials Science has the most points, reaching 2200, followed by Structural Design, then Mechanical Drawing, and finally Chinese. As for subjects like Math, Biology, and Geography, they are basically at zero.

When Zhou Feiyu first obtained the system, he was speechless upon seeing this evaluation. He was a graduate with a bachelor's degree from a key university, and this was it?

Now, he was used to it. After all, alien technology knowledge could not be evaluated using Earth's technological knowledge.

Upgrading from LV0 to LV1 only required 1000 points, while upgrading from LV1 to LV2 increased to 10000 points, a tenfold increase. Zhou Feiyu truly didn't know how many points would be needed later; just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

The current points are the sum of knowledge from various subjects. They can be used to upgrade subjects that have reached the required points, or they can be saved and used to unlock specialized technologies in the Galaxy Technology Library.

The "Basic Optical Film" technology was unlocked by him at the cost of five thousand points.

The points are obtained from the experience gained from using these subject knowledge in his daily work.

For example, in Mechanical Drawing, Structural Design, and Materials Science, the process of making the "Basic Optical Film" sample was actually a learning process, and the points increased little by little accordingly.

Lost in thought, he didn't know how much time had passed when the tall, thin girl beside him suddenly stood up and said, "Big brother, we've arrived at the terminal station, Peng City. Could I trouble you to help me again?"
