Chapter 200

Professor Liu came to find Shen Wei on his own initiative for the first time.

Shen Wei was a bit surprised: "What's the matter, Professor Liu?"

Professor Liu said, "The scientists are about to leave, and before they go, they want to invite the kindergarten staff for a meal to thank them for their care."

These scientists had initially come for the all-in-one gaming pod.

After arriving, they wanted to conduct in-depth research.

But the holographic gaming pod...

Both its software and hardware were very valuable for reference.

However, this device was too sophisticated, with only one unit in the entire country.

There was really no way around it.

They couldn't violently damage it and then disassemble its components.

Others couldn't make heads or tails of it based on experience alone.

They had finally managed to track down the designer.

But this designer was an eccentric scientific genius.

In the end, he disappeared.

It brought enormous pressure on the local police.

But when someone can't be found, they just can't be found.

Due to years of neglect, many surveillance cameras in that area were just for show.

This led to substantial funding from higher-ups.

They wanted to have a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

The small county town was practically covered with surveillance cameras, and now even the crime rate had decreased.

Moreover, the scientists spearheaded the creation of a science museum.

They hoped to commemorate this scientific genius.

They hoped this person would reappear.

Even communication via email would be acceptable.

But there was still no sign of him.

They were treated like VIPs at Starry Sky Kindergarten.

The food here was already delicious.

Add to that the gentle, lovely, and polite children.

The scientists became somewhat reluctant to leave.

Several of them even wanted to buy houses locally.

Just like Professor Liu and Professor Gao, who had already planned out their retirement lives.

But there was no helping it.

They needed to train the next generation of talent for the country.

They had already been away for too long this time.

The people at their original workplaces were getting restless.

The minor leaders were calling them three times a day, urging them to return.

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to leave.

This time, they had booked a rather luxurious local restaurant.

It was like a product from the future.

Its appearance was a heaven-sent treasure.

After a melancholy drink, he couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder if I'll live to see the decryption of the gaming pod in my lifetime. That will usher in a new era, entering the Internet of Everything." It was the era every scientific worker aspired to.

As he spoke, the old man's eyes reddened. The people next to him quickly consoled him, "If our generation can't do it, there's still the next generation. With young people working hard generation after generation, we'll definitely catch up and become the best internationally."

Everyone ate and drank merrily. At the end, the old professors finally revealed their bombshell news.

They had saved frugally all their lives, collecting some prize money. They had pooled together 10 million yuan to donate to Shen Wei.

Shen Wei said, "There's no need!"

She didn't lack money here.

The old professors were all very simple people.

Even the shoes they wore were old styles. They wouldn't buy new clothes.

What they had earned were all national-level awards.

How could she let these not-so-wealthy professors donate the money they had saved frugally all their lives to a well-off kindergarten?

Shen Wei repeatedly refused.

But the old professors said, "This is our collective wish. Children are the hope, and we truly believe that your kindergarten is run very well!"

Whether it was He Lingfeng or Mu Zhixing, or other sunny and cheerful babies, the kindergarten really took good care of them all.

They had also learned about Shen Wei in depth. How she had rescued Song Ping An, who had been fighting with stray dogs for food.

They were truly moved.

They also wanted to contribute their modest efforts, but this money was too heavy for Shen Wei.

Shen Wei didn't want to take it.

But the old gentlemen were all stubborn.

Once they decided to give it, Shen Wei had no choice but to accept.

When Shen Wei took it, the money felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.

The greatest wish of these old professors was to bring the gaming pod into the real world.

Their pure love was for the country.

They had dedicated their entire youth and descendants.

Shen Wei couldn't help but enter the system internally.

Starry Sky Kindergarten had always been popular.

The online reputation value plus the system reward points totaled 940,000.

Shen Wei had never been so well-off before.

She had intended to use the points where they were most needed, but this time, she wanted to indulge herself a bit.

Shen Wei wanted to exchange for the complete blueprints of the gaming pod.

Written in the system's customization area, it showed that 1 million points were needed.

All of her points weren't enough.

But at this moment, the system, like a sly merchant, persuaded her.

"If you don't have enough points, you can owe them for now. When you have points, they'll be automatically deducted!" encouraging her to consume on credit.

Shen Wei knew it was a trap. But thinking of the selfless love of the old professors, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and exchanged for the blueprints.

Soon, 940,000 points were instantly cleared to zero, and it showed -60,000.

Back to square one in an instant.
