Time passed.

Seated in the shop, Chen Mo looked at the computer screen and started laughing. His laughter gradually grew louder and carried outside, drawing curious glances from many passing pedestrians.

"Young man, are you all right?" A voice of inquiry abruptly cut off Chen Mo's laughter.

When he turned his head, he saw the auntie from the neighboring grocery store looking at him with puzzled eyes. Chen Mo's smile froze on his face, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm fine. I cleared a game level and got a little excited." Chen Mo awkwardly rubbed his nose.

"Young people should earn more money and marry a wife instead of playing so many games. Otherwise, you'd be letting your girlfriend down."

"I will." Chen Mo nodded awkwardly.

Only after confirming that Chen Mo was fine did the auntie from the grocery store turn and leave.

Chen Mo turned his attention back to the computer screen. Another month had passed since last time, and he had finally created all the basic syntax for the Chinese Character Programming Language.

For its basic syntax, he had drawn on some syntax from C Language, B Language, and Assembly Language.

Then, combining the unique expressions and grammar of Chinese, he had created eighteen data types, 108 keyword groups, thirty-six control statements, constants, variables, operations, characters, and arrays.

These basic syntax rules had required him to research, compile, delete, and revise them day and night.

Even with the Super Brain and an ability to comprehend and remember things beyond ordinary people's understanding, he had spent more than three months organizing all these basic syntax rules after repeatedly studying the two copies of "Computer Language Creation and Application" he had obtained from the Sci-Tech Library three times.

Looking at the words indicating successful execution displayed on the Universal Compiler on the computer screen, Chen Mo could not help wanting to laugh.

The Universal Compiler was a compiler included with "Computer Language Creation and Application." Its purpose was to allow creators of computer languages to solve code compilation incompatibility issues.

However, before writing code, the basic syntax had to be defined.

Heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard.

After such a long period of creation, he had finally completed the basic syntax. On the compiler was the simplest possible decimal calculator.

The successful result displayed above showed that the definitions for the basic syntax were essentially complete.

If anyone learned that he had created a computer language in only three months, they would definitely see him as a monster.

After saving all the basic syntax materials, Chen Mo closed the shop.

"Young man, closing so early? Not doing business anymore?" As soon as he stepped outside, the auntie next door looked at him in confusion.

"I cleared the game. I'm taking the day off."

After saying that, Chen Mo rode his bicycle back to his rental room impatiently.

"Young people these days get neurotic from playing games. He's even skipping work. Games have ruined so many people. I need to keep an eye on that brat at home when I get back." The grocery store auntie shook her head as she watched Chen Mo's retreating figure.

Three months had already passed, and he had finally created the basic syntax for the Chinese Character Programming Language. Now, he could not wait to enter the Sci-Tech Library.

After returning to his rental room, Chen Mo tossed aside his laptop bag and lay directly on the bed.

The hundred-meter-high bookshelves, the familiar books with dark red covers, and the desk—Chen Mo was in a good mood, and everything seemed wonderful.

After opening the book on the desk, Old Shu appeared in the library once again.

"You're here." Old Shu looked at Chen Mo and nodded slightly. "You came to collect technologies, right? You now have three chances for random selection. Do you want to use them?"

Over the past three months, he had not used any of the random selection chances granted by his apprentice-level permissions. This time, he had come to share technology and collect technologies.

Random selection was a massive trap, and Chen Mo had already developed a psychological shadow over it. That was why he had not chosen anything for so long—he wanted to claim them all at once now.

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded.

"The first one. Good luck."

Old Shu smiled and tapped with a finger. Dense rows of books appeared and began spinning wildly before finally merging into one book that landed in Old Shu's hand.

Chen Mo blinked and stared at the book in Old Shu's hand.

"Human Breast Development Assistance Potion (Topical)"

"What does that mean?"

Chen Mo's hand trembled, and his face twitched. He was still unwilling to believe it was real.

"It means exactly what it says. Congratulations, this is good stuff." Old Shu smiled again and chuckled softly.

"I know it's good stuff." Chen Mo felt like crying without tears.

"You don't want it?"

"I do. How could I not want it?"

Chen Mo immediately sprang up. If this potion could really be made, its moneymaking potential would definitely not lose to mobile phones. Women's money was the easiest to earn, especially from women who cared about beauty. It was just that randomly drawing this kind of potion every time left him at a loss for how to describe his luck.

Besides, he had no plans to enter the pharmaceutical field for the time being.

"That's more like it. There's no distinction between good and bad technologies. As long as a technology can bring people happiness, it's good technology." Old Shu pressed the book into Chen Mo's head. "This one is low-grade and has a drawback, but for you, it should be an advantage."

"What do you mean?"

"It needs to be used multiple times before it takes effect, so you can make even more money." Old Shu smiled.

"Again." After briefly reviewing the potion he had received, Chen Mo spoke.

Old Shu smiled and pointed at the air. The light screen descended again. The books spun once more, and before long, another book stopped in Old Shu's hand.

"Carbon Crystal Based Lithium-Ion Battery Production Technology"

The moment Chen Mo saw the book, he smiled. A normal one had finally come, and it was something he could use for now. That was definitely good news.

"Again," Chen Mo said.

After Old Shu pressed the book into Chen Mo's head, he tapped the air again. When the light screen transformed into a book and fell into Old Shu's hand, Chen Mo's face darkened.

"Ballpoint Pen Production Technology"

This was even worse than the first one. It would not be of much use to him. If he wanted a share of the stationery market now, he might as well enter the pharmaceutical field directly. Everyone could make this thing; there was no unique technological advantage.

Of the three random selections, the Battery Technology was something he could use for now, so it counted as a modest gain.

"Have you created the computer language?" Only after pressing the book into Chen Mo's head did Old Shu speak.

"I have." Chen Mo nodded. The main event came next.

Old Shu nodded in satisfaction, tapped Chen Mo on the head, and casually pointed into the air. All the basic syntax of the Chinese Character Programming Language appeared on the light screen.

When he saw the basic syntax of the Chinese Character Programming Language, a slight look of surprise flashed across Old Shu's face.

"Good, very good." Old Shu's tone was full of affirmation. "The basic syntax of this computer language is extremely ingenious—more ingenious than many computer languages I have seen. Your language truly is very interesting."

Hearing Old Shu's praise, delight appeared on Chen Mo's face. Whenever he encountered something he did not understand, he would ask Old Shu for guidance. Usually, whenever he had nothing to do before bed, he would come in and chat with Old Shu. Over time, they had become both teacher and friend to each other.

Chen Mo knew that Old Shu had high standards and vast knowledge. If Old Shu called it ingenious, then it had to be very good.

"Are you willing to share the technology?" Old Shu asked.

"Of course I'm willing to share the technology." Chen Mo nodded without hesitation.

"Mm! Very impressive basic syntax." Old Shu was still marveling. "There are very few computer programming languages this ingenious. If you share it with the Sci-Tech Library, you should be able to obtain some excellent technology."

Old Shu nodded in satisfaction and tapped with a finger. The light screen swiftly transformed into a book and flew toward the deepest part of the Sci-Tech Library. Before long, a beam of light poured down from above the Sci-Tech Library, and a book slowly formed in Old Shu's hand.
