The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

Chang Ning was somewhat tempted; knowledge in the interstellar era was indeed subject to monopoly.

Many ancient books have not been completely lost; rather, they have been preserved, but only in the hands of a few.

Although Chang Ning was aware of this, she was still shocked when she saw the entire wall of well-preserved books in Gu Yanzhou's study.

Putting aside the scarcity of these books—they can't even be found on the StarNet—in the paperless era, the sheer value of these physical books alone makes Chang Ning exclaim in admiration of their immense wealth.

"come over."

Chang Ning stood at the door of the study and saw Gu Yanzhou walk to the bookshelf. He stood tall and elegant, turned around and called to her. His face was half-lit and half-shadowed in the light and shadow. For some reason, Chang Ning's heart started to beat faster.

She walked over and looked up at the huge wall of books. She had to admit that she was deeply moved and filled with awe for knowledge.

Gu Yanzhou seemed to be used to this. He knew the location of each book in detail and soon found seven or eight books, saying, "I think these might be helpful to you right now."

"You can also choose what you think is useful."

Actually, it's not that no one has thought of looking for methods in ancient books. After all, humans have evolved step by step, and the answer to what changes occurred in the human body before and after the emergence of spiritual power might be found in history.

But so many years have passed, and no one has made any significant scientific achievements in this area. Chang Ning is just trying his luck, and it may all come to nothing in the end.

Gu Yanzhou didn't seem to think so; upon hearing her thoughts, he did his best to help her.

It always feels good to be treated with respect.

Chang Ning carefully selected a few more books; no matter the final outcome, she was determined to read them all.

"Is it alright if I take all of these back with me?"

The essence of monopoly lies in the fact that they generally do not readily reveal themselves to the public.

Gu Yanzhou said, "No problem, come again anytime if needed. It's only meaningful to spread knowledge."

That night, Changning had a beautiful dream. She couldn't remember what she dreamed about, but she did remember feeling a sweet sensation after waking up.

When they arrived at the lab, Chang Ning was surprised to see a group of research enthusiasts gathered together, discussing something. She went over to join in and found that they were all reading a news article.

The Academy of Sciences' Spiral 1 has been upgraded to Spiral 2. Compared to the previous 6 hours, Spiral 2 can allow ordinary people to maintain their mental abilities for a whole day after awakening them!

Unsurprisingly, the internet went wild again. Volunteers had already tested it on the 2nd. When Chang Ning saw their posts, some exclaimed that this was what it felt like after awakening their mental power, while others said that their learning efficiency had increased and that they had become stronger.

One of the most popular comments was that after his mental powers were awakened, he felt like the world had slowed down.

Chang Ning seemed to be deep in thought. So this is what the world of the Awakened is like? It's now at 0.5x speed?

However, seeing that the other researchers all looked very serious, Chang Ning was a little confused and ran over to ask Dr. Jia what was wrong.

Dr. Jia said, "It's nothing, it's just a bit fast."

Is it too fast? Isn't it better to be fast?

Ordinary people are eagerly anticipating Dr. Lin's arrival, almost worshipping her as a true deity, calling her a beacon of light.

However, seeing that Dr. Jia didn't seem inclined to say anything more, Chang Ning didn't ask any more questions. She was still starting from scratch.

Chang Ning's progress was very slow. The book she got from Gu Yanzhou was very valuable, but it couldn't directly help her solve the problem. When the Academy of Sciences announced the launch of Spiral 3, she came up with another strange little gadget.

Taking it will give you a good dream, and it will definitely be a beautiful dream.

She tried it herself this time. The more beautiful the dream was, the more empty she felt when she woke up. She was on the verge of a breakdown. What a mess this was.

She's constantly ambitious and wants to do something big, but intermittently wants to give up and find a rich boyfriend.

So she and her secretary went to the celebration party held by the Academy of Sciences, with no other purpose than to share in their joy.

When we arrived, there were many people at the scene. While Spiral 2 was still unstable, Spiral 3 was close to the standard for market launch. It was a huge market opportunity, so many companies wanted to obtain production licenses.

Chang Ning and her secretary were eating and drinking in a corner when they saw Dr. Lin from the Academy of Sciences being surrounded by a crowd. Chang Ning asked her secretary why they didn't go over.

The secretary said there was no point in her going, so she wouldn't join in the fun.

Although their boss is rich, their company is not well-known and cannot be compared with the top companies. Even if they need to find distributors, they are not in a good position.

After a while, cheers suddenly came from the crowd. Chang Ning couldn't hear clearly, so he asked, "What's going on?"

The secretary said, "It seems that Dr. Lin is getting engaged to Lu Wei."

Who is Lu Wei?

"Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs."

"Oh, it's him."

The crowd parted, and Chang Ning saw the person—the one who had said some strange things to Gu Yanzhou at a certain exchange meeting; Dr. Lin had been right next to him then.

The two look quite well-matched standing together. Of course, one is in politics and the other is engaged in scientific research. Both are young and promising, and it would be a lie to say that Chang Ning is not envious.

She has only three months left. If she doesn't succeed by then, even if her boss doesn't fire her, she'll feel too embarrassed to stay any longer.

Having lost this job, Chang Ning has no confidence in finding a better one. Her savings are practically worthless; they won't last long.

Chang Ning greeted her secretary and said she was going to the restroom. Just as she came out of the restroom, she accidentally bumped into someone. The person looked very angry and cursed, "Get lost!"

Chang Ning was shocked. He was the one who bumped into her, wasn't he? How could he be so self-righteous?

When she refused to move, the man cursed again, "What are you blocking the way for? Do you want to die?"

It's obvious he's an Awakened One. Chang Ning really hates these people. "Are you sick in the head?"

"Dare to call me sick?"

The man was dressed like a gentleman, but acted like a thug. He raised his hand to hit her, but before his hand could land, someone grabbed her wrist from behind. "Damn it, who the hell is it!"

He turned around, a pained expression on his face: "Let go!"

"Apologize."

Gu Yanzhou's expression was cold.

The man was in so much pain that his body almost hunched over. Low-level Awakened Ones are almost powerless against high-level Awakened Ones. Before long, large beads of sweat appeared on the man's face. "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry!"

"Not with me, but with her."

Chang Ning was lying when she said she wasn't afraid. This person was like a violent maniac. If Gu Yanzhou hadn't appeared in time, she would have been powerless to fight back. Now that she had a backer, she quickly ran to Gu Yanzhou's side.

Even though Gu Yanzhou didn't seem to use much force, the man almost knelt on the ground. Chang Ning couldn't understand how there could be such a big difference between awakened individuals. The man gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, please forgive my rudeness just now!"

Gu Yanzhou looked at Chang Ning, and seeing her nod, he released him, and the man immediately ran away.

Chang Ning snorted lightly. Awakened ones aren't necessarily impolite, they just need to exert great effort to achieve miracles!
