Zhou Wen was completely dumbstruck upon seeing the holographic blue words displayed right before his eyes. 

He was stunned for at least five full seconds before he reacted to the situation and felt that it was highly possible that this happened not out of a hallucination but because he had truly struck gold. He had actually possessed some form of special ability. 

"F*ck…"

He drew deep breaths continuously and warned himself in his heart over and over again. Steady... Steady… Don't get excited... Don't get excited...'

Soon afterward, Zhou Wen scrutinized the blue words before his eyes with close attention to discover that there was a return symbol on the upper left corner. 

He thought about the word 'return' in his mind for a moment when the blue interface returned to the main page. Then, a huge individual property board was presented before him. 

Before he had time to inspect the components of the property board, a dialogue box popped out before his eyes. 

[In an effort to increase the average human lifespan of the class-1 civilization of the universe conscientiously and improve the rate of technological development so that this universe can integrate into the universe family soon, the committees of the Universal Alliance have unanimously decided to transmit the biopharmaceutical system randomly to the class-1 civilization of the universe.]

Zhou Wen was so excited after reading the explanation on the uppermost area of the blue interface that he almost leaped for joy. So it turned out that a system did fall out of the sky…

He waited until he had calmed down before he closed the dialogue box and then he began studying the property board carefully.

Zhou Wen discovered that when his gaze landed on the 'Occupation' label, the words representing a few different ranks including a junior pharmacist, intermediate pharmacist, senior pharmacist, supreme pharmacist, and master pharmacist appeared behind the illuminated 'apprentice pharmacist' label. However, those words were still in dark gray. 

Similarly, when his gaze landed on the 'Truevision' label, its explanation appeared behind it. 

'Allows you to see the different properties of objects. The higher the rank, the more detailed the information you shall acquire.'

He then thought about how he could see not only the personal information pertaining to Shi Lei and Lin Jiayi earlier but could also see the information of his blood composition. Zhou Wen was secretly surprised. "If this is the impact of Level 0, won't I be as mighty as a god when my level is upgraded?"

Later, an explanation appeared behind 'Courses' when his gaze landed upon it. 

'Foundation courses are the stairway that leads to the master pharmacist level. There are a total of nine levels, and experience points can only be gained by completing missions. When the foundation courses are completed in full, the biological scientific knowledge of the high civilization will be unlocked.'

Experience. 'Can be used to upgrade course knowledge.'

However, there was no response when his gaze landed on the 'sub-discipline' tab. 

'Point' was the next term on the list. 'Can be used to accelerate the speed of an experiment, to learn medication recipes and also to trade for higher-level medication recipes, raw materials, and experimental equipment'

The lowest sections were 'Inventory' and 'Taskbar'. 

Firstly, there was an inventory list. It was a 10x10 backpack and there was no explanation on how it could be used. He decided that he would experiment with it later on. 

It was followed by the taskbar. Zhou Wen discovered that there was an additional text box behind the 'Pending option' dialogue box. He clicked it with his mind and a blue interface popped out before his eyes. 

Zhou Wen screened through the explanation word by word. 

[Mission 1: The Aphid Experiment

Requirement: Complete 3 sets of effective rice root aphid biological reagent experiments within 24 hours.

Reward: 200 Course XP, 200 Points. 1x Loot Box Chance (Wood)]

[Mission 2: Shi Lei's Wish

Explanation: Shi Lei asked his girlfriend out for a movie date this afternoon. He hoped that someone could help him to complete his DNA extraction task.

Requirement: Complete the extraction of six white mice DNA within 24 hours.

Reward: 100 Course XP, 200 Points. 1x Loot Box Chance (Wood)]

[Mission 3: Study

Explanation: In order to become a mighty pharmacist, one must possess a strong theoretical foundation.

Requirement: Accumulate 24 hours of phone downtime in the library. The time starts when a book is lifted for reading and ends when the book is placed down. This is a long-term mission. 

Reward: According to the value of the book. Reward 10-200 Course XP, 10-100 Points. 1x Loot Box Chance (Wood)]

There was also the mission explanation at the bottom. 

[A mission can't be changed after it is selected. Only one mission can be chosen at any time. 200 points will be deducted with each aborted mission.]

Zhou Wen inhaled a deep breath after he was done reading everything.

Whether the system was genuine or fake, he had no other option but to embark on this path. What would it cost him to give it a try anyway?

After careful consideration, he chose Mission 2. 

Actually, he was prepared to spend some phone downtime in the library but this mission looked to be the most simple. 

However, Shi Lei had always taken care of him. When he first came to the laboratory, it was Shi Lei who took it upon himself to teach Zhou Wen how to operate the equipment step by step. Shi Lei could be considered as somewhat of a mentor to him.

Coincidentally, he was rather familiar with the process of DNA extraction, so he had the confidence of completing the mission. In a way, his choice could be considered as killing two birds with one stone. 

If he were to choose Mission 1 instead, he would be helpless even if he wanted to do it. This was because it was compulsory to perform PCR amplification for the mission and he was still learning about that now. Therefore, it was utterly impossible for him to complete the mission. 

[Confirm mission selection?]

[Confirm]

The 'Pending option' in the taskbar was changed into '1' upon Zhou Wen's selection. 

Soon afterward, Zhou Wen spent some time studying the pharmacist system and discovered that the individual property board would emerge before his eyes as soon as he pictured it in his mind. He could control the taskbar directly by just using his brain. 

He experimented with the system over a dozen times before carrying out the mission. In fact, Zhou Wen did not go searching for Shi Lei immediately even after he had familiarized himself with the system as he wanted to complete his blood test first. 

He placed the blood into the temperature-controlled container and shook it for about ten minutes before he siphoned and dripped the reagent solution into the blood sample. 

The reagent was used to separate the foreign substance in the blood and after about five minutes, Zhou Wen used a pipette to extract the separated blood and placed it in the test tube before he placed the test tube into the high-speed centrifuge. Then, he set the centrifuge at 4500rpm. 

In order to process the anxiety, nervousness, fear, helplessness, bewilderment, joy, excitement, and happiness experienced within such a short period of time, all he could conclude was that he was 'mind blown'. Next, he went outside to smoke a cigarette. 

The centrifuge came to a stop 15 minutes later. 

Zhou Wen collected the *supernatant liquid and placed it on a glass slide. He covered the glass side with another piece of glass before he clamped it on the specimen stage of the electron microscope. 

Suddenly, Shi Lei called out to him from the side, "Be careful, Zhou Wen."

Zhou Wen replied, "Hmm, okay."

The electron microscope was extremely costly at the starting price of a few hundred thousand. The slightly better quality one would cost at least three to six million RMB. 

Under ordinary circumstances, the new students of the department were prohibited from using the microscope in fear that they would break the lens. 

After all, it was a piece of equipment worth a few million. Who would pay for the damages in the event that it was broken?

Nevertheless, Zhou Wen had a rather close relationship with Shi Lei. In addition, he was the only intern at the laboratory now. Therefore, Shi Lei allowed Zhou Wen to continue. 

Zhou Wen observed the blood with close attention through the electron microscope lens. 

Blood was a subject that was thoroughly studied by mankind already. One could clearly see everything contained in blood just by using an electron microscope. This included foreign microorganisms, viruses, and bacterias. 

Zhou Wen screened through his blood meticulously and found that there was no anomaly nor bacteria in it. 

The weight on his chest had reduced by half at this point. 

Of course, he planned to do another blood test on himself 24 hours later. Anyhow, it would not cost him any money. 

He thought about something then and decided to scrape off some skin from the back of his hand and added some distilled water as a dilution agent before transferring the content to a glass slide again. He then began observing it under the electron microscope. 

Safety came first and caution was the parent of safety.
