Standing in a pure white space and walking up to the translucent holographic panel, Lu Zhou finally saw the reassuring message.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the Emergency Mission "Call of the Void".] [Mission Completion: The path to truth is not always smooth. The vast universe conceals far too much infinity and mystery beyond our understanding. Like the songs hummed by sirens in storm-shrouded waters, only those with unwavering will can pass the trial and journey to the legendary utopia...] [Mission Evaluation: S+] [Reward: 1,000,000 Physics experience, Void Explorer Medal, Gift from the Void (S-rank evaluation bonus), Earth Civilization materialist tradition +10.]
A million experience points was no small sum.

How long had it been?
He had practically forgotten what this feeling of joy was like.
The rewards for this mission could only be described as a bountiful harvest. His Physics level, which had been stuck at the threshold of LV8 for who knew how long, had finally taken a huge step toward the gates of LV9.

The faint black stream of light floating in his hand pulsed like a beating heart. As his right palm supported it, Lu Zhou felt a faint warmth against his skin.
Compared with the solid Civilization Savior Medal, this "Void Explorer" medal
