New challenges after upgrading

Ye Qiu was still deeply immersed in the joy of winning the physics competition; the heavy trophy now sat on his desk. Even from a distance, Ye Qiu felt that the glorious light emanating from the trophy could penetrate his eyes, burning his heart and filling him with an indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction.

As he was reveling in this joy, the familiar and enticing prompt from the System suddenly sounded in his mind. The voice was as clear as a silver bell, yet full of endless temptation: “Ding! New task detected — host a personal physics academic lecture within one week, attract at least five hundred listeners, and successfully answer all questions raised by the audience. Completing the task will unlock a mysterious new ability.” Ye Qiu’s lips curled slightly, a confident smile instantly appearing on his face, and he muttered to himself, “This is just a piece of cake. Looks like I’ll get to show off in front of everyone again.”

For this upcoming lecture, Ye Qiu immediately entered a tense and busy preparation mode. He fully utilized the “Photographic Memory” skill previously rewarded by the System, diving into the ocean of cutting-edge physics knowledge. Those abstruse and difficult professional books, which were usually hard to understand, were like open doors to a new world in his eyes, and he easily absorbed the knowledge on every page. During the day, he carried stacks of books, moving between the library shelves, poring over them eagerly; at night, he sat at his desk, the soft light of the lamp accompanying him through one focused night of study after another.

Not only that, but Ye Qiu also used the virtual simulation function provided by the System to repeatedly rehearse the lecture process. In the virtual scene, he stood on the grand podium again and again, with a dense audience below, their eyes filled with expectation and curiosity. In each simulation, Ye Qiu put himself into the role of the focal point of all eyes, constantly adjusting his speaking speed, tone, and body movements, striving for perfection. He imagined himself speaking eloquently on stage, conquering every listener with passionate and intelligent words. The feeling of being admired by everyone filled him with anticipation for the real lecture.

Finally, the day of the lecture arrived. Ye Qiu deliberately chose a sharp black suit. The fabric of the suit was of excellent quality, and it made him look even more spirited when he wore it. He meticulously combed his hair until it was shiny, every strand seemingly speaking of his confidence. Standing in front of the mirror, he carefully examined himself, nodded with satisfaction, and secretly encouraged himself: “Today is my moment to shine!”

When Ye Qiu confidently walked onto the podium, the hall was already packed. Looking out, there were not only students and teachers from his own school, their familiar faces full of anticipation, but also many students who had come from other schools, bringing with them a thirst for knowledge and curiosity about Ye Qiu. What was even more surprising was that many experts and scholars in the field of physics were also seated in the audience, their eyes revealing scrutiny and inquiry. Ye Qiu took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and his voice was exceptionally clear in the silent hall. Then, he began to eloquently explain his unique insights into quantum physics.

His voice was magnetic, with rises and falls, and the quantum physics theories, which were originally as complex as a heavenly book, seemed to be endowed with life in his words, becoming easy to understand. He skillfully used various vivid metaphors and illustrative examples to make abstract concepts concrete and perceptible. The audience was deeply attracted by his narration, occasionally letting out gasps of amazement. Their eyes were filled with admiration and praise, as if they were listening to a true Great Master imparting the Dao.

Just then, a Senior professor wearing gold-rimmed glasses slowly stood up. This professor was renowned in the field of physics, and his research achievements were highly praised in academia. He frowned slightly and posed a challenging question: “Student Ye Qiu, your proposed application of quantum entanglement in the macroscopic world, while novel and unique, full of innovative thinking, seems to lack sufficient theoretical support based on existing research. Under the current physics framework, it is difficult to explain its feasibility. How do you explain this?” As soon as this question was asked, the entire venue instantly fell silent, and everyone’s gaze focused on Ye Qiu, as if awaiting a brilliant defense.

Ye Qiu remained calm, a dazzling golden light flashing in his eyes—the power of the Golden Eyes instantly activated. Under the powerful analytical ability of the Golden Eyes, his mind, like a high-speed supercomputer, quickly sorted through all relevant knowledge and information, instantly finding the crux of the problem. His lips curved upwards, revealing a confident and composed smile, a smile that seemed to tell everyone that this question was merely a piece of cake for him.

He slowly began to speak, his voice steady and firm: “Professor, your question is very profound and hits the core point of this idea. In fact, in the process of my in-depth research, I discovered that the connection between quantum entanglement and the macroscopic world can be achieved through a completely new energy conversion model. The reason why traditional theories are difficult to explain is that we have always been confined within existing mindsets and research frameworks. The model I propose breaks through traditional constraints…” As Ye Qiu spoke clearly and logically, he also utilized the new “Thought Materialization” skill granted by the System. In an instant, a light flickered in his hand, and an exquisite and complex three-dimensional image slowly emerged, gradually appearing clearly in the air before everyone’s eyes. It was the theoretical model from his mind, now perfectly presented in the real world.

The audience immediately erupted, everyone exclaiming in admiration at Ye Qiu’s answer and the model he displayed. Some students couldn’t help but stand up, wanting to observe this magical model more clearly; some teachers whispered to each other, expressing admiration for Ye Qiu’s innovative thinking and solid knowledge reserves; even the professor who asked the question couldn’t help but nod slightly, his eyes showing appreciation, and he sincerely praised, “The younger generation is formidable! I didn’t expect you, at such a young age, to have such profound insights and bold innovations.”

As the lecture progressed, more and more questions poured in like a tide towards Ye Qiu. But Ye Qiu was like an experienced Martial Forest master, easily handling all kinds of challenges. Whenever a question was raised, his Golden Eyes would quickly analyze it, capturing the key to the problem; at the same time, the System would quickly search his mind, providing the most precise answers and the most appropriate ways of expression. He sometimes cited classics, using the research results of his Seniors to support his views; other times, he combined practical cases from daily life to make complex theories more vivid and interesting. He freely roamed in the ocean of physics, fully displaying his profound knowledge and outstanding talent, as if this stage was tailor-made for him.

After the lecture, the entire hall erupted in thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time, echoing throughout the venue. Ye Qiu stood on the podium, a proud smile on his face. He knew that he had once again successfully shown off, and in front of many professionals, this sense of accomplishment filled his heart with joy and satisfaction. He excitedly awaited the System’s reward, his heart full of infinite anticipation for the new ability that was about to be unlocked.

“Ding! Task completed. Congratulations, host, for unlocking the ‘Truth Resonance’ ability. When the host expounds correct theoretical knowledge, people around him will spontaneously generate a strong sense of identification and resonance, and their intelligence will be temporarily enhanced.” Ye Qiu was overjoyed when he heard the System’s prompt. His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he was eager to find an opportunity to try out this magical new ability. He seemed to see himself creating more brilliance on his future Dao with this new ability.

In the days following the lecture, Ye Qiu became a prominent figure in the school. Whether in the campus corridors, cafeteria, or library, students could always be heard praising and discussing him. Even the school teachers occasionally mentioned Ye Qiu’s lecture in class, using his innovative thinking and solid knowledge as an example to inspire other students.

However, Ye Qiu was not carried away by these praises. He knew that his abilities were due to the help of the System, and he also understood that more challenges awaited him in the future. He began to actively seek the next opportunity to improve himself, often consulting various cutting-edge academic Materials in the library and paying attention to the latest research developments in the field of physics at home and abroad.

One time, while browsing an academic forum, Ye Qiu discovered information about an international physics academic exchange conference. This conference brought together top physicists from around the world, who would share their latest research achievements and cutting-edge theories. Ye Qiu’s heart stirred; he felt that this was an excellent opportunity to test his abilities and also to expose himself to a broader world of physics.

Thus, Ye Qiu decided to register for the conference. He began to prepare the Materials needed for the conference, including organizing his research results, writing papers, and creating exquisite PPTs. During the preparation process, Ye Qiu fully utilized his various abilities: the Golden Eyes helped him quickly filter and analyze a large amount of data, the “Photographic Memory” skill allowed him to remember various complex theoretical knowledge by heart, and “Thought Materialization” enabled him to display abstract physics concepts in a vivid and intuitive way.

As the conference date approached, Ye Qiu’s preparations entered the final sprint stage. He repeatedly rehearsed his presentation content, striving for perfection in every detail, from speaking speed, tone, body language, to audience interaction. He knew that on this international stage, he represented not only himself but also the honor of his school and country.

Finally, Ye Qiu embarked on his journey to the international conference. The moment he stepped into the conference venue, he felt the powerful Qi of top physicists from all over the world. But Ye Qiu showed no fear; his heart was filled with anticipation and fighting spirit, ready to once again showcase his demeanor on this stage and conquer everyone present with his knowledge and abilities.
