Expert Speech On Paradox By Jimmy!
Jimmy stood backstage. It went better than he thought. The system has created his persona as the son of a rich father. His father died some time ago, and now, Jimmy was the only heir! The company was big. It was on actually top 500 companies in the world! All of that will be his if he finishes the mission obtaining all ID needed!
The organizers were happy to have him as a rich businessman would occasionally invest in a research project, so there would be more scientists, which will lead to more projects to choose from, and so increase of businessman.
So it is a good cycle, which only brings benefits to everyone!
That is why they agree so fast for Jimmy's request!
Jimmy was checking the details of the completed mission while waiting for the start of the world-class seminar. He checked the three notifications.
<<
Congratulations!
Mission 2.1: Completed!
Reward: Random Ability Draw!
>>
<<
Congratulations!
Mission 2.2: Completed!
Rating: S- (Very well done!)(There is space for improvement!)
Reward: Advance Mechanical Engineering Knowledge!
Knowledge contains all the blueprints of mechanical gadget created in the next 5 years!
>>
<<
+5 MPH at maximum speed!
Current maximum speed: 65 MPH!
>>
The first reward was a random draw, which Jimmy had no idea whether it was good or bad, but he knew about the second reward!
Advance knowledge contains the knowledge of the future!
To be honest, Jimmy thought that the knowledge was like- basic, advanced, and such. Not of future knowledge!
It wasn't directly useful, but with this, he could earn lots of money without doing anything much! He can become a billionaire by relaying himself!
Heck, doesn't even need to start a company, he can just sell the blueprints after registering the patent!
Jimmy thinking rain of money falling from the sky while he was standing on the ground — That felt amazing, even just imagining it!
In his past life, he was from an average family, so becoming an owner of billions and billions of dollar blueprints was fascinating for him.
He can imagine sleeping on the bed made of dollars!
Jimmy even stared thinking whether to create many story vaults and filled it with dollars, and jump from above and swim in the lake of money!
Jimmy was already grinning. He tries hard not to shout out in excitement!
Jimmy saw in the system that there was a new option with blueprints, but there were lots of blueprints there, so he decided to check it out later.
He then looked at the last notification and felt that living was good. And, getting a reward for hard work was even better!
Maximum speed increased by 5!
Jimmy couldn't wait to run with his super-speed, but he knew that he would be faster after completing the first mission, so he waited for the first mission to complete!
'Just a little longer and I will be running faster than 100 MPH!' thought Jimmy. He was thinking about what else he could do when there was another notification.
<<
Would you like to Draw your Random Ability now or save it for later?
>>
Without any delay, Jimmy agreed for a 'now' option!
There was a huge golden wheel in front of his eyes, but invisible to others, and started spinning. Jimmy knew he had to stop the wheel to get the ability.
"Oh, noble goddess of fortune and luck! Please bestow a blessing on your faithful servant!" Jimmy didn't forget to pray before stopping the spinning wheel!
The arrow in the wheel stopped at one of the abilities before Jimmy could read it in detail, the notification came. Jimmy checked the notification to find out which ability he got.
<<
Congratulations!
You won the ability: Eidetic Memory!
Description: Eidetic Memory is also known as Photographic Memory! It is the ability to recall images from memory after only seeing it once, with high precision for a brief time after exposure, without using a mnemonic device!
With the help of this ability, the host can remember any event from the past with perfection!
>>
Jimmy was happy to have such a useful memory, and especially when he needed to learn many things!
Yes, being speedster isn't just about being a superhero, it also requires knowledge of physics and maths!
For example, if Jimmy wanted to run on tall buildings wall vertically, he needed to calculate how fast he needed to run, if there was a mistake in calculation, he would fall and die! Yeah, it wasn't an easy thing as it looked, so this ability was perfect for the superhero, like him!
Jimmy tried to remember his past life and everything came back to him perfectly. He stopped at his first kiss. His first girlfriend was a tomboy type girl. Jimmy clearly remembered how good she smelled or how soft her lips were!
During this time, Cisco welcomed everyone to the ASU and gave an opening speech, and now he was introducing Jimmy and his good deed to the world.
Just as he completed introducing Jimmy — while waiting for his chance to speak, Jimmy got a notification.
<<
Congratulations!
Mission 1.1: let her know you exist, completed!
Remark: letting Caitlin's friend do the introduction increases her friendliness toward you!
Reward: All necessary identity cards! (It is saved in the system space.)
>>
Jimmy sigh with worried that someone might find out his secret, but now he got everything needed, he was fearless, and looking forward to the future as he was the only one who knew about all the future events!
Cisco was done and now it was his time to speak and start the topic.
Jimmy remembered that in his past life someone said: "Don't become a philosopher before you become rich!"
Now Jimmy is legally rich, so it is time to become a philosopher!
Jimmy came on stage and saw a great hall without any pillar. There were lots of round tables, and people were enjoying drinks served by waiters and waitresses. Jimmy could see people from all around the world. They were either looking at him curiously or whispering with their friends, especially about Jimmy's look. With just a glance, Jimmy had impressed many women in the hall!
Or there was a third type of people, who just came for a picnic, and drink free wine, were focusing on finishing their expansive wine.
Jimmy flinched for a second, but he controlled himself and confidently came on stage. His confidant walks impressed many women, and the number of gossips started increasing.
Jimmy cleared his throat and started his speech. The reason was just to finish the mission. And he didn't know much about science, so he decided to speak about Paradox.
"Hello, beautiful ladies and gentlemen, I am Jimmy. My friend Cisco did a good job introducing me, so I will skip that part, and I also believe that time is more precious than gold, so I will start the topic, and let me say that this will help almost everyone to progress in their scientific project!"
Jimmy didn't mind speaking more, but he was afraid that he would find out that he didn't know anything about science and that is why he was hurrying up.
There was a sudden outburst of talking as the claim to help everyone was so daring, so everyone was talking with their friends. there were some who were sneering at such a claim too.
Jimmy didn't care about them, as he was looking for his Cait, and he found her with people from the Star lab. Cisco was sitting near her and telling her how he met the famous Jimmy!
'Nice kid, you are helping me complete my mission better than I thought!" exclaimed Jimmy, in his mind.
Jimmy was silent for a moment to build anticipant in listeners.
"Before I talk about the topic, let me tell you the story of my childhood!"
"I was in high school. All my friends have a personal car, so I was envious like any kid. My family is rich, well I don't have to say that, now do I? So, after school, one day, I went to my father. I told him that I want a new car just like my friends have, no better, maybe the best in the world! My father didn't refuse, but he put the condition that if I can get one million dollars on my own, then he will pay the rest!"
"I was thrilled to hear that and left his office in excitement. I started thinking about earning one million dollars. How hard that could be, right?"
The people below laughed softly. For them, that much money might not be much, but as a kid, it was too much!
"With my meager pocket money of $10000, if I saved everything, then I could get 1 Million in just more than 8 years, which was clearly not acceptable for me!"
"So, I started thinking about a shortcut. Well, I wasn't genius as a kid, but I wasn't bad either. I came up with a mathematical problem, which, in the end, gave the answer that I desired, so I went to my father's office again."
People were now listening clearly as the story was interesting, and they wanted to find out what kind of math problem would allow Jimmy to get 1 million dollars!
"Well, I won't talk about the problem, but the result, as I am sure many of you might have done similar things. Well, the result was 0=1! That is right! I just used some simple math and got the result. It was clearly impossible, but there was a result, and my father was looking at me to explain it better, so I multiplied both sides by 999,999, and then, added 1to both side, which gave me 1= 1 Million!"
"So, I happily gave my father a one-dollar bill and said here is one million!"
There were many people laughing out loud without any care, and everyone was smiling, to say the least. This kind of things, all nerd would do, one way or another!
"I was so happy that I will soon get the costliest car in the world and could finally show off to my friends!"
"Alas, as they say, Father is a father! He thought for a moment and took out his wallet. I was clearly expecting a check, but he gave me a 20 dollar bill, and said, "Here son, I will give you $ 20 M — $10 M extra! Go and enjoy it!""
Now everyone was laughing at Jimmy's story. Jimmy let them laugh for a while and then said, "That was a clear example of a paradox. It was a memorable incident that allowed me to think, and with the money I had, I earned more than $15 M in the share market, which you all know."
People were now listing him seriously as they all knew how Jimmy had earned $15 M when he was a kid. They were surprised to find that it was due to paradox, he earned so much money.
Jimmy didn't know how it happened either. He just made it all up, as the system only gave him personal information. One thing that was to his advantage was that no one knew much about Jimmy, because they loved their private life, and made sure to keep it this way.
That is why Jimmy could make up any lie that will pass with flying colors!
"Yes, most of you guess it right, the first problem of this seminar that I would like to start with is Paradox! I gave one of the basic paradox of math. Anyone now can come up and state their field's Paradox question, and others will help to solve it, as we all know how hard it is to solve it!"
"Math, physics, chemistry —all of are like a river, which all of us know, but most of the people fail to understand that all those rivers are connected to ocean name Science!"
"Thank you for listening patiently, I will take my leave now!"
When Jimmy left, everyone started clapping loudly, and some of them even gave him a standing ovation!
Jimmy was happy that they bought his "logical explanation", and what made him happy was the notification of a successful mission!
<<
Congratulations!
Mission 1.2: Make a lasting impression, completed!
Rating: S! (Just one step behind to perfection!)
Reward: Great castle! (Outside the Central City!)
Side option: discarding this reward will allow the host to select multiple smaller-size houses throughout the world. (Mainly in Central City.)
>>
Jimmy thought for a moment, and he went with the side option. It was better to have more homes — some could be his secret base!
He went down when Cisco was waving at him from the table where Caitlin was.
'My sidekick is definitely useful. Look, he is doing what I was just thinking! I needed a reason, and here he gave me one!' Jimmy smiled and started walking there. Many people were looking at him, especially women, as to how attractive he was!
Someone was already on the stage and started describing his Paradox problem, "Let's say there is a cat in the box..."
Jimmy didn't hear further as his focus was on his Cait.
