Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 15: 100 points

          Orion didn't think that what he had in mind would come true. The day before the mathematical analysis exam on Saturday, he received an approval letter via email.

　　Opening the webpage, Orion entered the password with excitement, and saw that the status of the manuscript had really changed to [Completely accepted]! That means the editor is quite satisfied with the author's manuscript and decided to accept it.

　　With this status, if there is no accident, the paper will be published in this month or the next month, and at the same time, it will be included in the SCI database for researchers in the global mathematical community to access and cite.

　　Filled with excitement, Orion took a deep breath before sort of calming down.

　　Generally speaking, those who could directly skip the [Revise] loop were all big names in the scientific community. Even some well-known professors would occasionally have their manuscripts rejected for two or three revisions due to some minor flaws or even the extremely strict requirements of the academic editors.

　　It undoubtedly shows that his paper has reached a level where the reviewers can't even pick out the faults.

　　Of course, 80% of the credit still has to go to the system, the system gives no faults in the proof procedure.

　　As for the format and wording of the paper, with Professor Tang as the gatekeeper, there must be no problem. Moreover, having published many SCIs, he was already a reviewer for several famous maths journals, whose experience in this area was indeed outstanding.

　　Orion placed his laptop on the side of the bed, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, entering that system space hidden deep within his consciousness.

　　When he opened his eyes again, there was pure white.

　　Orion Crest lightly walked to the holographic panel and selected the icon of the mission.

　　[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, please continue to work hard.]

　　[Task completion is as follows: combine the academic value of the paper and the influence of the journal, estimate the value coefficient of the paper ...... Final evaluation of the task: S (Points bonus +100)]

　　[Task Reward: 400 points of maths experience, 100 points of physics experience. 200 system points. One chance to draw (95% junk, 5% sample)]

　　God! It turns out that there is also a requirement to judge the impact of journals! If the notorious AMC was chosen as the manuscript's submission target, I'm afraid the rating wouldn't be so high. Orion was grateful for Professor Tang's help, without his advice and persistence, his paper would have ended up at AMC.

　　An S evaluation is 100 points!

　　"System, open my attribute panel!" Orion Crest said impatiently.

　　[

　　Seeing that maths experience value, Orion Crest's eyebrows jumped hard.

　　It was unknown how the system's preference of thesis was determined, adding 100 experiences to his Physics, which resulted in his Maths being just short of that 100 experiences value to upgrade.

　　Orion was going crazy. "System, can you allocate that 100 Physics experience value to Maths?"

　　The system ignored him.

　　Orion tried to argue, "System! There's something wrong with your evaluation criteria, where in my entire fucking essay did I get into physics?"

　　However, the system did not respond to him.

　　Orion sighed and gave up.

　　Forget it, it's only 100 experience points anyway, completing the next mission will definitely be enough.

　　It's just that this 100 experience points given to physics is really frustrating, even if it's allocated to information science, it's still good! Otherwise, give it to engineering is also somewhat useful, always more useful than this purely theoretical subject!

　　Next, it was time for the exciting lottery.

　　When he saw the pitiful 5% probability of [sample], Orion sighed and instantly felt that it was not exciting at all: it may definitely come out [Rubbish].

　　Last time, it was a bottle of Coke, what would it be this time?

　　Is it Sprite?

　　No, can I have a beef noodle, at least I can save money for a meal.

　　With that in mind, Orion pressed the lottery button and waited for fate to decide.

　　[Congratulations, you won the sample.]

　　Emm......

　　Eh?

　　Shit!

　　Orion held his breath in excitement.

　　The 5% probability had surprisingly drawn for him!

　　This was super technology! And it wasn't a drawing! This time, it's not the answer to a proof question, is it?"

　　[Received, Nano Physical Strengthening Needle (2 hours, no side effects, enhances muscle cell motility, coordination, and reflexes by 50%)]

　　Orion Crest: ????

　　What's the use of this thing?

　　Refresh me when I've been up all night?

　　But what's the point of two hours! Might be better to just drink a cup of coffee.

　　Selling it to athletes might be a good option, as the system produces stimulants that would be undetectable in urine and blood tests.

　　But Orion feels that if this stuff gets out, it could be harmful to him.

　　What does this stuff mean to the sports industry?

　　Two hours is more than enough time to change the winner of a game. And the win or loss of a match often involved more than just a chain of interests, like gambling or something, and then sponsors' interests or something, there were definitely a lot of people who wanted this stuff.

　　And they certainly wouldn't be satisfied with just getting one tube.

　　Orion wasn't sure how far they'd be willing to go to get those benefits, but the only thing he knew for sure was that he couldn't afford to go through with this.

　　What's more, he didn't have that access to athletes at the highest level, and even if he did have access to National Football League athletes, people wouldn't trust you for no reason, and who knows what's inside the syringe and whether it was sent by the opponents to mess things up.

　　"Although it's not rubbish, it's better than rubbish, ...... might be better to give me a future meal." Orion sighed, not even having the temper to protest to the system at this point.

　　Forget it.

　　Orion took a deep breath, then tapped the mission button. Hopefully, this time, the task would be slightly better.
