New tasks and new changes

The autumn air was crisp and refreshing, and sunlight, filtered through thin clouds, gently spilled onto the airport's wide runway, as if laying a golden veil over the land. Ye Qiu pulled his lightweight suitcase, his steps light and steady, as he descended from the plane's boarding ramp.

He was dressed in simple yet high-quality casual wear, the breeze gently ruffling his hair.

The moment he landed, the warm air, carrying the city's unique scent of life and familiar aroma, eagerly rushed into his nostrils, reaching deep into his heart, and in an instant, a warm current flowed through him, dispelling the fatigue of his long flight.

He subconsciously took a deep breath, his chest full of glory and accomplishment.

The details of the international conference surged through his mind like a tide.

The expressions of the world's top physicists, listening intently, some leaning slightly forward, others propping their chins in thought, their eyes revealing focus and recognition, made Ye Qiu feel immensely proud; the undisguised admiration in their eyes during questions, and the gasps of awe from the audience as he spoke eloquently on stage—each recollection made his heart beat faster, as if he were still standing on that brightly lit, attention-grabbing podium, the center of everyone's focus.

Upon returning to school, the principal had been waiting in his office for a long time and personally received him.

The principal's Face was wreathed in smiles, so bright they seemed to overflow, his eyes full of undisguised admiration and pride.

Seeing Ye Qiu enter, the principal strode forward, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and said in a loud, somewhat excited voice, "Ye Qiu, you've truly brought immense Face to our school this time!

The school plans to hold a grand celebration for you, to let all teachers and students witness this supreme glory together!"

Ye Qiu's Face held a humble smile, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a touch of shyness, but inwardly he was secretly excited, his heart beating like a rapid drum.

He knew very well that this was undoubtedly another excellent opportunity to shine brightly in front of everyone, and he had to go all out to amaze the audience once again.

Before Ye Qiu could fully recover from the joy of this glory, the familiar System prompt suddenly sounded in his mind, crisp and with a mysterious Gu-like allure: "Ding! New mission detected—give a speech at the celebration, share your international conference experience, and cleverly embed three pieces of cutting-edge physics knowledge provided by the System during the speech, ensuring at least 80% of the audience develops a strong interest in this knowledge.

Upon mission completion, unlock the new skill 'Knowledge Sharing,' receive a rare item 'Crystal of Wisdom,' and gain 1000 prestige value, which can be used to redeem rare items in the System Store."

Ye Qiu's lips curved into a confident smile, a hint of wildness and determination in his expression, and he muttered softly, "Although this mission sounds a bit challenging, for me, it's just a piece of cake."

After all, with the powerful System as his backing and his rapid growth during this period, he had ample confidence.

To prepare for this significant celebration speech, Ye Qiu, with the System's comprehensive assistance, delved into a meticulous review of his international conference experience.

Like a rigorous historian, he meticulously recorded everything he saw, heard, thought, and felt at the conference, as well as every spark of wisdom generated from the clash of ideas during his exchanges with top physicists from various countries.

He not only filled his notebook with key points but also repeatedly rehearsed every segment of the speech in his mind, pondering how to present it in the most captivating way.

The complex, obscure, and daunting cutting-edge physics knowledge, under the System's powerful analysis and organization, was cleverly deconstructed and reassembled, integrated into engaging and interesting stories, like brilliant jewels meticulously set in a crown, waiting to shine with dazzling brilliance at the celebration and amaze everyone.

On the day of the celebration, the school auditorium was packed, and the air was filled with a warm atmosphere of excitement and anticipation, like a grand and solemn festival.

All the teachers and students had arrived early, chatting animatedly and discussing Ye Qiu's splendid performance at the international conference.

Some students, with animated expressions, vividly described snippets they had heard from others, gesticulating wildly, trying to recreate the scene; others, with Faces full of envy and eyes full of longing, speculated about his dashing demeanor at the conference, their eyes sparkling with yearning for knowledge and achievement.

The entire auditorium was bustling and filled with laughter.

Ye Qiu, in a neat school uniform, his posture as straight as a pine, walked onto the stage with steady, powerful steps, radiating innate confidence.

The audience instantly quieted, all eyes drawn to him as if by a powerful magnet, focusing on him in unison.

The entire auditorium was so silent that one could almost hear a pin drop.

Ye Qiu began by sharing anecdotes from his interactions with top physicists from various countries at the international conference.

He vividly described the unique personalities and focused research habits of these academic giants, recounting how one professor, to verify a theory, stayed in the laboratory for three days and three nights, forgetting food and sleep, eating takeout casually when hungry, and napping on the desk when tired, only to wake up and resume research; he also mentioned another professor who, during a speech, became so engrossed that he mistook his laser pointer for a pen, constantly gesturing as if writing in the air, his comical movements eliciting bursts of laughter from the audience, instantly transforming the tense atmosphere into one of lightness and activity.

The students' laughter rose and fell, echoing throughout the auditorium, and everyone's Faces were filled with joyful smiles, making the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

Then, he shifted his tone, his expression becoming serious and focused, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, and began to talk about his research findings presented at the conference.

"At the international conference, I proposed a brand-new energy conversion model, and the key to this model lies in a re-understanding of microscopic energy forms."

As Ye Qiu spoke, a dazzling golden light flashed in his eyes—the "Thought Materialization" skill bestowed by the System was instantly activated.

In an instant, tiny particles, shimmering with soft light, traversed and collided in mid-air according to specific patterns, like a group of nimble dancers, gracefully performing the wonder and mystery of the microscopic world under colorful spotlights.

The students below watched in stunned silence, mouths slightly agape, their Faces filled with surprise and curiosity, their eyes unblinkingly fixed on the magical light and shadows, afraid to miss any exciting moment.

Ye Qiu slightly raised his chin, his eyes full of confidence, and continued in a steady, powerful voice, "Look closely, everyone, this energy conversion process is not a simple numerical calculation, but a marvelous dance full of order and change in the microscopic world."

As he spoke, he gently waved his fingers in the air, as if guiding the movement of the particles, and the particles' trajectories became clearer with his movements.

A student couldn't help but stand up, wanting to observe this magical scene more closely, but accidentally knocked over a chair, making a "clatter" sound, but this did not affect Ye Qiu's narration in the slightest.

His gaze swept firmly across the audience as he continued to speak eloquently, explaining complex theories in a captivating voice.

"This is like the flow of water in our daily lives; it appears calm, but in reality, it contains immense energy.

And the energy particles in the microscopic world are like the water molecules in this flow, interacting in a unique and marvelous way to achieve energy conversion."

Ye Qiu vividly used this analogy while cleverly embedding the first piece of cutting-edge physics knowledge provided by the System.

The students below showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, many quickly picking up their pens to diligently take notes in their notebooks, the scratching sound of their pens on paper resembling silkworms chewing mulberry leaves on a quiet night, or the gentle tapping of fine rain on a window, full of the rhythm of seeking knowledge.

During his speech, Ye Qiu cleverly integrated two more pieces of cutting-edge physics knowledge.

He talked about a bold idea regarding the application of quantum entanglement in future communication, using a sci-fi scenario to depict how, in the distant future, people could achieve instant communication through quantum entanglement, where information could be transmitted accurately in an instant, no matter how far apart.

Imagine people being able to communicate in real-time with friends on the other side of the Universe, sharing their lives; such convenience and wonder are hard to imagine.

At this point, Ye Qiu quickly waved his hands in the air, as if constructing an invisible communication network, and then said loudly, "This is not just a simple fantasy; based on the principle of quantum entanglement's spooky action at a distance, this is entirely possible to become a reality!"

The students below were infected by his passion; some couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, while others began to discuss animatedly, the atmosphere on site was extraordinarily lively, and everyone was immersed in imagining future technology.

He also shared the latest research conjectures on the internal structure of black holes, combining them with the Big Bang theory, explaining the mysteries in a simple yet profound way, from the initial hot and dense singularity of the Universe to the mysterious high-dimensional space that might exist inside black holes, making the originally complex and obscure theories easy to understand, as if telling a captivating legendary story.

His voice was sometimes impassioned, sometimes low, and at key points, he would pause to observe the students' reactions, ensuring everyone could follow his train of thought.

Through these interesting stories and vivid examples, he successfully ignited the students' strong interest in this knowledge.

"Detected that over 80% of listeners have developed a strong interest in the embedded knowledge, prestige value +399!" The System's prompt sounded joyfully in Ye Qiu's mind, filling him with a sense of accomplishment.

After the speech, the System prompted again: "Congratulations, host, for completing the mission, successfully unlocking the 'Knowledge Sharing' skill, obtaining the rare item 'Crystal of Wisdom,' and accumulating prestige value to 1000, which can be used to redeem rare items in the System Store."

Ye Qiu was incredibly excited, eagerly checking the System Store, where he found "Inspiration Potion," which could temporarily boost mental agility, and "Quantum Computing Rubik's Cube," which could aid research.

Each item made his heart flutter, imagining himself rapidly advancing on his academic path after using these items.

After the speech, the entire hall erupted in thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time, like surging waves, one after another, continuously echoing throughout the auditorium.

Students flocked around him, casting admiring glances, asking questions about the international conference and cutting-edge physics knowledge in a flurry of voices.

Among them, a girl named Su Yao, known as the school's top student, not only had excellent grades but also outstanding looks, usually maintaining a cold demeanor.

She was tall, with long, shiny black hair casually draped over her shoulders, and a pair of bright, deep eyes set in her fair Face.

At this moment, she was deeply captivated by Ye Qiu's speech, looking at the radiant Ye Qiu on stage with admiration, and ripples stirred in her heart.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Su Yao plucked up her courage and walked up to Ye Qiu, a hint of shyness on her Face, and softly said, "Ye Qiu, your speech just now was so brilliant; I've never heard such a lively and interesting explanation of physics knowledge."

Ye Qiu was a little surprised, looking at the beautiful and excellent girl in front of him, and responded with a smile, "Thank you, I'm very happy to have your recognition.

Are you usually very interested in physics?"

Su Yao nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling, "Yes, I've always loved physics, but some knowledge is too complex, and I always struggle to understand it thoroughly."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu enthusiastically said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me; maybe I can help you."

Su Yao's Face flushed, and she said, "That would be great; I'll be bothering you a lot from now on."

The two chatted happily, and the surrounding students, seeing this scene, cast envious glances, some girls even whispering about how well-matched they looked standing together.

Just then, Ye Qiu's deskmate, Xiao Wang, finally squeezed his way to him, saying enviously, "Ye Qiu, you're truly amazing!

I want to achieve something academically like you in the future."

Ye Qiu patted Xiao Wang's shoulder and said with a smile, "As long as you work hard, you'll definitely be fine.

If you have any questions in the future, you can always ask me."

His words were full of encouragement, and his eyes revealed sincerity, as if he saw his former self, equally eager to progress and harboring dreams, a warm power surging in his heart, hoping to help Xiao Wang avoid detours on his academic path.

After the celebration, Ye Qiu returned home.

He eagerly opened the System interface, his fingers trembling slightly, a tremor of excitement and anticipation intertwined, his fingertips carrying an uncontrollable thrill.

He first studied the newly unlocked "Knowledge Sharing" skill, imagining using this skill to help students navigate the ocean of knowledge, everyone sitting together, knowledge instantly transmitted, problems easily solved; he also thought about efficiently exchanging academic views with scholars, sparks of thought colliding intensely in knowledge sharing, blooming with brilliant colors.

Next, he checked the "Crystal of Wisdom," finding it to be a mysterious crystal containing powerful knowledge energy, which, when used, could significantly enhance learning and comprehension abilities for a period.

He curiously picked up the crystal, examining it closely, its surface shimmering with strange light, as if narrating endless mysteries.

However, before Ye Qiu could properly study the new skill and item, the System popped up a new mission prompt: "The next mission will be released soon; please, host, prepare yourself."

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling with excitement, a light of fearlessness and determination in them, as if proclaiming his resolve to the world.

He was already eager to embrace new challenges, to continue forging ahead on the path of prestige, and to create more brilliance.

He knew that every mission was a valuable opportunity for growth, and he was fully prepared, poised to set off, ready to welcome new adventures, and to advance towards a higher Peak.

At the same time, he also looked forward to more sparks in academic exchanges with Su Yao, and perhaps even the flicker of love, making his life even more exciting.
