Butterfly Eye!

Chen Mo spent the entire afternoon focused on books about telecommunications. Even if he wanted to obtain phone blueprints from the Sci-Tech Library, he first needed to build up some knowledge. Otherwise, when he looked at circuit designs later, he would be completely lost.

He read every day, yet he did not know whether his head would explode if he kept going like this. His current state was like that of a full-grown man who had already eaten his fill but kept stuffing more food into his mouth.

If he had not undergone Potential Development and gained better physical fitness, he probably would not have been able to endure it.

Rubbing his faintly aching temples, Chen Mo packed up the books on the desk and left the library with Xiao Yu.

On the campus road, Xiao Yu sat on the back seat of Chen Mo's bicycle, an easy smile on her face. They were both working hard, so there was bound to be pressure. Only during these idle moments could they enjoy such rare relaxation.

"Xiao Yu, how's your review going?"

"Not bad, but taking the accountant exam is different from getting a professional qualification certificate. There's still some pressure." Xiao Yu said, "The exam is coming up soon. I may be busy these next few days and probably spend all my time reviewing."

"It's fine. I'll keep you company."

"I know how you feel, but aren't you starting a business? Go do what you need to do. I'm not a child. You don't need to accompany me every day."

Xiao Yu sat sideways, leaning against Chen Mo's back, with a contented smile on her face. "When I need you around, I'll come find you. When that time comes, you can't refuse."

"I promise I won't. No matter how important something is, my girlfriend comes first. Let's go eat, hehe."

After dinner, Chen Mo took Xiao Yu back to her dormitory, then headed out of the university.

Now that he needed to design a phone, many things could no longer be handled by a single computer. He needed a dedicated workspace to store instruments and tools.

He would rent a shop as a temporary laboratory.

Because of the Sci-Tech Library, he preferred working alone. It meant fewer trivial matters to deal with. Otherwise, if the secret he carried was discovered and people kept looking at him strangely, things would become far more troublesome.

Not far outside Binhai University was a long commercial street. Although this was not the center of Bin Hai City, it was adjacent to Binhai University, and the street became lively every evening.

Many students liked going to the milk tea shops on the commercial street to drink milk tea and chat together. Classmates and friends also came here for meals.

After wandering around for quite a while, Chen Mo finally spotted a shop transfer notice near the far end of the commercial street.

It was a computer and phone repair shop. Chen Mo knew this place. Its computer and phone repair fees were higher than elsewhere, and over time, fewer and fewer people came here to repair their phones or computers.

After contacting the owner, Chen Mo went into the milk tea shop next door to wait.

Before long, a man around thirty hurried over.

When Wang Jiyu saw Chen Mo, his face immediately broke into a smile. Business had been difficult recently. He could not even earn back the rent, much less make enough to support a family.

He was getting older, and his family was pressuring him. If he did not quickly find a proper job, even getting married would become troublesome.

This shop was not in a very good location on the commercial street, and not many people were willing to take it over. Now that someone had finally come, he rushed over without delay.

"Brother, hello. My name is Wang Jiyu." Wang Jiyu reached out and shook Chen Mo's hand. "Let's go take a look at the shop."

"Sure."

As soon as they opened the shop door, a strong dusty smell rushed out. The equipment had not been moved away and was all still inside, though a layer of dust had already settled over it.

"What line of business is Mr. Chen planning to enter? Do you want these machines?" Wang Jiyu said. "The machines are a little old, but they still work. There are absolutely no hidden problems. There are three computers here, along with some other tools and instruments. If Mr. Chen needs them, I'll sell them to you at the lowest price. I'm planning to change careers."

"If the price is low enough, I can take them."

Chen Mo looked around and nodded slightly. Quite a few things here would be useful to him. With these basics, he would only need to buy some precision instruments to turn the place into a temporary laboratory.

"Easy, easy."

Wang Jiyu immediately revealed a delighted smile.

He no longer planned to stay in this trade. These instruments would be useless sitting at home and could only be sold as scrap. Chen Mo taking them over was an unexpected gain for him.

Even if the price was a little lower, his losses would not be as great.

After negotiating the price and signing the shop transfer agreement, Chen Mo cleaned the shop from top to bottom and threw away everything useless.

He worked until evening before hurrying back to his rental apartment and entering the Sci-Tech Library.

He had already grown accustomed to the environment inside the Sci-Tech Library. Seeing bookshelves over a hundred meters tall no longer amazed him as much as before.

After opening the dark red book at the center of the library, Old Shu appeared once more.

"Old Shu."

"You're here." Old Shu looked at Chen Mo and nodded approvingly. "Did you come in to choose some technology?"

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded. "I want a phone design, including the motherboard and the exterior."

"You want me to choose for you?" Old Shu asked.

"There are so many phone designs here. If you make me search for one, I'd be looking until kingdom come. And if I choose the wrong one, I won't even have time to cry." Chen Mo smiled bitterly.

"Fine. I'll list them for you to choose from."

With a light tap of Old Shu's finger, a massive light screen descended from above the library, covering the enormous open space in the middle.

Books appeared one after another, layer upon layer. Chen Mo could not even count how many there were. Every book had an image of a phone on its cover.

Brick-shaped, watch-shaped, pendant-shaped, glasses-shaped, helmet-shaped, round, diamond-shaped... Every imaginable shape appeared on the covers.

If he had not been certain this was phone technology, Chen Mo truly would not have believed those strange-looking objects were phones.

"There are still many that cannot be displayed. Which kind do you want?" Old Shu asked.

"Can I filter them by conditions?" Chen Mo swept his gaze over the books floating in the air. "Something with a more normal shape, like the ordinary phones we use, and something current technology can make."

As soon as he finished speaking, some books disappeared, while new books appeared to fill their places. There were still just as many. Chen Mo gave several more conditions in succession, but the books still filled the sky and did not seem to decrease at all.

"Old Shu, don't mess with me like this. There are so many? Can I pick a few to look at?"

Chen Mo looked at the books filling the sky, unsure whether to laugh or cry. This time, he finally gained a direct sense of just how vast the Sci-Tech Library's collection was. There were this many books just on phones, even after so many filters had been applied.

"You have one free choice. You may take one book," Old Shu said.

"This is really hard to choose." Chen Mo muttered as he looked up at the books in the sky. "Bring out some of them. Just a portion will do."

"Alright."

Old Shu tapped his finger again, and several hundred books appeared before Chen Mo in neat rows.

Chen Mo carefully read the descriptions of the phones' functions, until his gaze finally settled on the cover of one particular book.

The phone on the cover had soft lines and an exquisite design, making people unable to resist liking it.

"Butterfly Eye Smart Waterproof Phone"

"Old Shu, bring out that Butterfly Eye one." Chen Mo pointed at the book.

Old Shu lightly tapped a finger, and the book instantly vanished, turning into a light screen that fell into Old Shu's hand. Seeing the exterior design on the cover up close, Chen Mo immediately fell in love with the phone.

"This one." Chen Mo said.

The phone's exterior was extremely beautiful. He believed that if this phone were released, even without considering its functions, its appearance alone would definitely receive a good response.

"Alright."

Old Shu nodded and pressed the book in his hand into Chen Mo's head.

The motherboard circuit design and the parameters of every part of the phone flashed through Chen Mo's mind, and a broad smile spread across his face.

What surprised him even more was the phone's port design.

This was a waterproof phone. Both the headphone port and charging port had unique waterproof structures. The design was incredibly ingenious. The person who designed those two ports was simply a genius.

Forget the phone itself—just patenting the structures of those two waterproof ports would be enough to redefine phone ports. This was an unexpected windfall.

After leaving the Sci-Tech Library, Chen Mo sat up from his bed and walked into the bathroom.
