My Exclusive Dream World Adventures-Chapter 65 : 065 Learning makes me happy

Chapter 65: 065 Learning makes me happy

“2003?”

Chen Xu said, then remembered that the first time they met, it had mentioned that it was a robotic chef. He hadn’t cared much at the time, but unexpectedly, the food it made was delicious, “But it has no hands, does it?”

Yang Jinxia said, “I’ve been idle these past few days, so I stayed in the repair room and tried to fit it with a pair of arms, and to my surprise, I actually succeeded. From now on, with 2003 handling the cooking, we won’t have to eat nutrient meals anymore.”

Chen Xu thought about those bland and tasteless nutrient meals and nodded in agreement.

There was a food synthesizer in the shelter which could produce a nutrient meal by just pouring in ingredients; that’s what they had been eating these past few days. The taste was barely palatable.

He was capable of cooking, but he was entirely devoted to the control center and did not want to waste time doing it. Besides, he was not picky about food; as long as the nutrient meals could fill his stomach, it was fine.

...

As for Yang Jinxia, she probably wouldn’t.

“These days, you’ve been staying here, have you discovered anything?” Yang Jinxia took the bowl and chopsticks from his hand, didn’t leave, but asked instead.

“Come, sit.”

Chen Xu felt a sudden impulse, gestured with his hand, and invited her to sit on the seat next to him, saying, “Let’s chat.”

Yang Jinxia sat down as told and asked, “What about?”

“Suppose, I give you a chance, in a few months, you could return to Earth. But then, you would become an ordinary office worker, earning a four-digit salary, with no savings, and your family couldn’t provide any support.”

“If you wanted to make money, even make a career. Which area of knowledge do you think would be the most useful?”

Yang Jinxia seemed very surprised; had he really been pondering this question all these days here?

Surprised as she was, she didn’t show it, but instead thought it over seriously and asked, “Can I only learn knowledge, is it impossible to bring things back?”

“Can’t bring things.”

Yang Jinxia pondered for a while, then shook her head with a wry smile and said, “I can’t think of anything. The knowledge on the main computer is all basic theory, too advanced for anyone not in the field to even understand. If it’s not from a related professional background, the proofs of a few formulae won’t even make sense, and even if you published them, no one would believe you derived them.”

“Yes.”

Chen Xu listened to her and nodded. He had realized this from the first day and just wanted to hear her opinion.

However, even if he couldn’t understand those professional terms and various proofs, just grasping the general concepts and some developments in cutting-edge technology had enormous potential benefits.

For instance, artificial intelligence—if one could know the future direction of its development in advance. Even without the capital to directly invest, buying stocks of related companies would surely yield profits.

Knowledge is wealth. In the information age, this is even more so.

Now, an opportunity to master the knowledge of future technologies was in front of him, and naturally, he had to firmly seize it. Even if it was extremely difficult, he still forced himself to continue studying.

Yang Jinxia spoke again, “Actually, I’ve never really worked precisely, and if I were to go to work or start a business, I surely wouldn’t do as well as you.”

Chen Xu remembered a long-standing question and asked, “What did you do before?”

She brushed a lock of hair behind her ear and said, “I worked at an investment company, officially as a secretary, but actually I didn’t need to handle anything, just there to draw a salary. My family has some connections.”

“Oh.”

Chen Xu didn’t quite believe her, feeling she was either not telling the truth or withholding something.

Her performance on the first day had left a deep impression on him.

A young woman from a family that was rich or noble, beautiful and without having to worry about livelihood, would typically have developed quite a princess syndrome. How could she have that kind of performance?

He didn’t call her out on her words, just chatting with her was a kind of relaxation.

……

Since then, Chen Xu devoted himself entirely to studying. Every day, he spent a great deal of time studying the data on the main computer.

When he really couldn’t continue, he would exercise in the gym, sweat it out, rest for a while, and then continue the battle.

He felt as if he had returned to the intense study period of his final year of high school, unfortunately, neither his energy nor learning efficiency were as good as back then. Studying for six to seven hours a day was already his limit, and the efficiency was very low.

He and Yang Jinxia met less often, only sitting together during meals and casually chatting a bit. At other times, he was almost out of sight, and it was unclear what she was busy with.

He casually asked a few times and then stopped asking.

……

Before he knew it, a month had passed.

“Lunch time. Please proceed to the dining hall.”

In the control center, a voice reminder rang out.

Chen Xu shifted his gaze from the screen, rubbed his somewhat stiff head, stood up from his seat, and left the control room.

Walking towards the dining hall, his head kept flashing with those difficult professional terms and abstract definitions.

Not until he entered the dining hall and smelled the enticing aroma did his spirits lift, revealing a smile as he asked, “2003, what new dishes have you made today?”

“Sir, there are soybeans stewed with ribs, chicken stomach, tubular pasta, and American ginseng stewed with chicken soup,” 2003 responded from beside the dining table.

Chen Xu praised, “Your database really has a rich variety of recipes. It’s been a month, and you haven’t repeated a single dish.”

Yang Jinxia was already waiting there and said, “Come over and sit, I have something I want to discuss with you.”

Chen Xu was somewhat surprised, this month, they each had been busy with their own things, and their mealtime was just casual chat, this was the first time she used such a formal tone.

Yang Jinxia seemed not in a hurry. She replied, “Let’s talk about it after we eat.”

“Okay.”

Chen Xu didn’t rush her, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.

He was expending a great deal of mental energy on his studies, and his appetite had increased significantly, needing three to four bowls of rice per meal. Right now, he was exceptionally hungry.

Once the two had finished eating, 2003 cleaned the table spotlessly.

Yang Jinxia somehow brought over a tray with various tea sets, all complete. She started making tea and said, “This is Dragon Well tea I made yesterday. I luckily found the seeds in the seed storage, thankfully they weren’t all spoiled.”

“That is indeed fortunate,” Chen Xu said with a smile. The five people who had starved to death before had been driven mad with hunger; the seeds in the seed storage had not survived the ordeal and had been completely consumed.

After Yang Jinxia finished making the tea, she placed a cup in front of him and said, “I think it’s time to get in touch with the other shelters.”

Chen Xu paused with his teacup in hand, looking at her with surprise.
