Chapter 39: Intermediate Cosmic Biology Skill Book

The disc quickly started to spin, then stopped.

[Ding! Congratulations, Su Wei has obtained a skill item: Intermediate Cosmic Biology Skill Book. This lottery draw cost 10,000 reputation points, and the current remaining reputation is 108,964.]

Although somewhat disappointed, Zhao Ping'an was still delighted with the skill book, especially one that covered the entire field.

As the saying goes, knowledge changes destiny. Ever since his first creative idea earned him 100,000 yuan, he has been firmly convinced of this.

"Just leave it for now, and come back later!" Zhao Ping'an had undoubtedly already made plans to use up the remaining prestige points, but this time, after pressing the activation button, the disk did not start to turn.

[Operation error: Current reputation points are insufficient, unable to proceed with the draw!]

"What the hell? Dude still has over 100,000 reputation points?" "System Bro, did you make a mistake?" Zhao Ping'an's eyes widened, his tone mixed with a hint of suspicion, as if his belongings had been stolen.

This time, the system finally responded.

[Tip: 100,000 reputation is the baseline for a Level 1 Master, and cannot be used for lottery consumption!]

[Warning: Conducting multiple draws within the same level may result in the inability to advance!]

[Reminder: The higher the level of the master craftsman, the higher the grade of the lottery items!]

Well, this thing didn't show up until now, but once it did, it sent three messages in a row, leaving Zhao Ping'an stunned.

"I see!" After nodding, he gained a deeper understanding of the system rules and began to reflect on his actions, realizing they were indeed inappropriate. It seems that in the future, the benefits of reputation must be reasonably arranged; otherwise, he might lose the chance to obtain higher-grade prizes.

Actually, there was one thing he was also puzzled about, which was how much reputation was needed to advance to a Level 2 Artisan. Unfortunately, the system was adamant about not revealing this information to him, so he could only hope it wasn't too shocking.

After coming to terms with these matters, Zhao Ping'an opened the warehouse page and immediately started studying the 'Intermediate Cosmic Biology Skill Book.' Knowledge is definitely something that is better to have and not need than to need and not have, so if there's something on hand, it should be learned right away.

A torrent of vast knowledge burst forth in his mind like a spring, truly worthy of being classified as a mid-tier cosmic level (although he still hadn't figured out how this classification worked).

Compared to the content of the previous two low-tier cosmic skill books, it was indeed much richer, making him feel a bit dizzy, as if his brain couldn't handle it.

After spending a long time absorbing this knowledge, a slight sweat had already formed on his forehead, and at that moment, a completely new world opened its doors to him.

This intermediate-level cosmic skill book covers a wide range of topics. In addition to providing detailed introductions to the structures, functions, occurrences, and developmental patterns of various known organisms on Earth, as well as the relationships between these organisms and their surrounding environments, it also offers profound insights into morphology, genetics, embryology, physiology, ecology, biophysics, biomathematics, cell biology, and molecular biology.

Without a doubt, if Zhao Ping'an can absorb all this knowledge, he will undoubtedly become the top biologist in the entire world, bar none!

Indeed, becoming a scholar was clearly not his pursuit. He was narrow-minded and had no intention of sacrificing himself for the exploration of natural sciences; he only wanted to make some money through this knowledge.

He could clearly remember what Shen Mengyu had said to him back then—"You better reach the level of Jack Ma within two years!"

Two years, and now, without a doubt, half a year has already passed.

Does he have the ability to achieve this goal?

If it were two months ago, Zhao Ping'an would definitely have answered: "I don't know"—these are three words born from a mix of immense pressure and a hint of wishful thinking.

He will answer.

Not necessarily! The success of the friction charging technology gave him great confidence. Without a doubt, if he had been willing to sell it back then, he could have already joined the ranks of top billionaires with a fortune exceeding 3 billion RMB.Who would have known that the birth of triboelectric nanomaterials actually stemmed from his musings during a mobile phone purchase experience?

To put it simply, it's just a small idea from life, without any deep thinking involved, so it can't be considered his masterpiece.

Zhao Ping'an is not a diligent and studious child. If you ask him what he learned in middle school physics and chemistry, he will give you a blank, innocent look and tell you two words: forgot. Before he obtained the Master Craftsman System, his understanding of natural sciences could be described in four words—clueless.

So he had no idea how advanced the natural sciences on Earth had become, let alone the significance of the two 'Elementary Cosmic Chemistry Textbooks' and 'Elementary Cosmic Physics Textbooks' in his mind.

He only knew that as he slowly understood the knowledge, his mind would often burst with strange and bizarre ideas. To be honest, if he were to design solely for the purpose of invention, he was confident that he could create many peculiar gadgets in a very short time, perhaps even breaking the world record of 1,093 inventions held by Thomas Edison.

Zhao Ping'an, however, was unwilling to do so. Originally, it was simple; the advantage of quantity might bring him fame, but it wouldn't necessarily bring him much wealth. He still couldn't reach Jack Ma's level, at least not in the short term.

I have to say, the name An Ruoxi has already become an obsession in his heart. Perhaps this is love—loving without reason.

So Zhao Ping'an's inner wish is quite simple: to make money! And to design, one must design products that can quickly accumulate wealth!

Actually, over the past few months, every time it gets late at night and everything is quiet, he would lie in bed thinking about this issue, and he has had some ideas in his mind. A product like this should meet three basic characteristics:

First, it must be widespread; it has to be a product that is close to people's lives so that it can have the largest consumer base!

Second, uniqueness; it must be one-of-a-kind, at least irreplaceable by other products.

Actually, rubbing your phone has achieved this, but it just hasn't been done well enough. After all, not everyone is very particular about charging their phones. If it really doesn't work, there are plenty of portable chargers on the market, and they are quite cheap.

So this brings us to the third point: necessity! 

Once this product is designed, it must make those who need it eager to get it, and under the right conditions, they must absolutely obtain it!Even if there are no conditions at present, we must strive to create conditions in the hope of achieving them in the future!

If it can possess these three characteristics, then without a doubt, this product will rake in countless profits. Therefore, Zhao Ping'an deeply admires Jobs; his iPhone 4 was once infinitely close to such a product. After all, the kidney-selling incident back then was not uncommon, but unfortunately, it was only close, and it still didn't fully meet the mark.

So, what kind of product can reach such heights?

Actually, agreeing is simple; it all depends on each of us. Zhao Ping'an had a very rough idea in mind.
