36: Take the initiative to contact! Lu Ze is serious about the lottery.

Chapter 36: Initiating Contact! Lu Ze was serious about the lottery!

Looking at Lucy, who was full of suspicion and curiosity, it seemed she thought he was lying about not knowing Da Xia martial arts.

This wasn't not knowing martial arts; this was clearly what movies called 'passed down to males, not females; passed down internally, not externally.'

“It’s only been twenty minutes. Have you finished delivering your information?”

Lu Ze decisively changed the subject: “Let’s just head back. It’s already past seven.”

He couldn't possibly say that he was just performing some mystical ritual to pray for 'good luck and fortune.'

He was a staunch materialist and a loyal follower of Uncle Marx; how could he believe in such crooked ways?

Moreover, after being interrupted by Lucy, he no longer planned to draw the lottery. As a Da Xia person, he deeply understood that such a moment was not auspicious.

'I must go back and take a shower before drawing the lottery,' Lu Ze thought to himself.

It was better to believe in such things than not; he hadn't even put on his red underwear.

“Okay, let’s go have dinner.” Lucy nodded.

Since things had come to this, it was better to order food first.

She had been busy all afternoon, and her stomach was indeed a bit hungry.

“This…” Lu Ze hesitated. The laboratory cafeteria must be closed, right?

“It’s my treat this time.” Lucy saw his hesitation and directly pulled Lu Ze, running out quickly.

She didn't care about the cost of the meal, but if they didn't hurry, the restaurants in town would close.

After all, the only 24-hour restaurants here were fast-food places like KFC and McDonald's, serving burgers and fried chicken. Other restaurants generally stopped operating by 8 PM.

Lucy's life motto was that she could spend more money, but she absolutely could not be hungry.

9 PM.

After dinner, a well-fed Lu Ze returned to his single dormitory room.

This time, they didn't eat at the Italian restaurant from last time; they simply had some 'tacos,' which were Mexican burritos. Although the flavor leaned towards salty and spicy, Lu Ze was generally satisfied.

At least it was much better than Great Britain's food. They only had two types of food, and fish and chips permeated the lives of Great Britain people.

After washing up, he specifically changed into bright red underwear.

[Achievement Points: 16,000 points.]

[White Lottery: 1,000 Achievement Points/draw!]

[Blue Lottery: 10,000 points/draw.]

“System, perform a Blue Lottery draw.” Lu Ze silently recited in his heart.

If he was going to draw, he would naturally draw the big one.

Although this was Eagle Sauce, even if he did ten White Lottery draws, the local farmers wouldn't give him any extra draws.

It was still the same saying: 'All-in is a form of wisdom.'

[Ding, 10,000 Achievement Points consumed!]

It was exactly the same as the previous draw.

A spinning wheel reappeared on the light screen in front of him, featuring blue and purple colors, as well as a barely visible golden thread.

The pointer spun rapidly, slowly landing in a blue area.

“As expected, metaphysics doesn’t save the unlucky.” Lu Ze sighed.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining an item!]

[Blue Skill Talent: Physique Enhancement!]

[Description: Comprehensively and slightly enhances your physical fitness and athletic ability.]

[Current Physical Fitness Evaluation: A very weak human organism with a clever brain; you can’t even withstand one punch from Tyson.]

“What do you mean by 'weak human organism'?”

Lu Ze twitched his mouth, his face full of black lines: “Not being able to withstand one punch from Tyson means 'weak'?”

According to this evaluation standard, how many people on Earth would not be considered weak?

Before he could finish complaining, a warmth suddenly surged from his chest, and his entire circulatory system felt as if it was being expanded by a powerful force.

However, Lu Ze didn't feel any pain; he just felt his strength seemed to increase a bit, his abdominal muscles became three points more defined, and his entire posture became much straighter.

He picked up a hand dynamometer placed on the table and squeezed it hard.

“Feeling about 10% stronger in physical fitness than before is not bad.” Lu Ze stroked his chin.

He was already very satisfied with such an enhancement from a blue item.

After all, a healthy body is the capital for revolution; this saying is eternal.

He glanced at the remaining six thousand Achievement Points.

“Perform two White Lottery draws.” Lu Ze's heart stirred.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a white item: 1,000 usd. (Already stored in the inventory and can be retrieved at any time.)]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a blue item: Complete set of Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle remote sensing flight control and rotor chip technology.]

Lu Ze directly ignored the one thousand usd and focused his attention on this blue item.

He frowned: “Why is it this technology? What use do I have for it?”

This thing, while advanced, was indeed quite advanced.

The problem was that in one or two years, Da Xia would also be able to directly develop flight control and rotor technology for Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

“This technology isn’t without its uses; it can be given to that side to develop ahead of time.”

Lu Ze's mind suddenly turned.

This particular technology wasn't overly complex; with the research capabilities of the Xia Academy of Sciences, it wouldn't take much time to complete.

Once it was developed, it could also create another billion points of trouble for Eagle Sauce.

Just as Lu Ze had said at the beginning regarding his life motto.

He was very happy to lend a hand in anything that could harm Eagle Sauce's interests.

On the other side, at noon.

The head of the education department from Northwest Province stumbled out of Director Zhang's office, feeling dizzy.

'Why does the Xia Academy of Sciences want to build a thousand schools across Northwest Province?' The official's head was buzzing at this moment.

He racked his brain but couldn't figure out why.

What did educational matters have to do with the Xia Academy of Sciences? They weren't even in the same administrative system!

Investing seven billion RMB at once to build a thousand schools simultaneously? Such a massive undertaking, let alone in Northwest Province, was extremely rare even nationwide.

'Even the subsidies and benefits for all teaching staff in Northwest Province have increased so much; is it necessary to spend so much money?' The more he thought, the more confused he became.

Was Da Xia planning to heavily develop the entire Northwest Province? Or did it have other intentions?

“Why am I bothering with such bothersome matters?” He shook his head vigorously, muttering: “At least I don’t have to worry about Northwest Province’s education budget anymore.”

“It’s better to quickly implement what Director Zhang assigned.”

You can be poor in anything but education; who doesn't know that?

However, Northwest Province's biggest problem was its abundance of impoverished mountainous areas and backward rural villages. It was only two years ago that all villages in the entire region achieved the goal of having electricity.

Education for children in some mountain villages remained a distant goal.

But now, a thousand schools and tens of thousands of teaching staff were enough to solve this huge problem.

Without saying that every person in Northwest Province could be provided with excellent educational resources, but everyone could have the opportunity to study, and that was enough.

Being able to achieve this, he could rest with a clear conscience.

In the meeting room.

“Several bureaus of Da Xia Construction have also been notified and are immediately heading to Northwest Province to begin construction work. Recruitment for teaching staff is also underway.”

Zhang Yuli let out a long breath: “Finally, this matter has been initially resolved.”

He had put in a lot of effort to complete the required remuneration.

“These things can’t be rushed.” Zheng Lixing put down his cigarette and asked in a deep voice: “Next, should we actively contact that Mysterious Organization?”

To figure out whether this Mysterious Person truly belonged to an organization, they could only actively inquire now.

Preferably, right now.
