Chen Gong looked at his points and saw he already had 8000?
It seemed not as difficult as he had thought.
He was getting closer and closer to the 10,000-point mark.
At this rate, he was pretty sure he'd reach 10,000 points before the practical training next week began.
However, Chen Gong merely glanced at the lottery interface and closed it straight away.
System: ???
Have you ever respected me?
It's the lottery, big brother, can't you show a little excitement?
Soon, the system popped up the lottery interface again.
Chen Gong closed it once more.
System: !!!
Suddenly, Chen Gong had a thought, "Can the chance to draw be exchanged for 1000 points, or rather, can I use the 9000 points I have, along with this chance, to do a ten-draw?"
[Ding! Not possible.]
Chen Gong frowned at the sound; the system wasn't user-friendly at all.
Junk...
Abnormal!
Close!
He had no interest in gambling; he was more looking forward to the exclusive skill reward that came with leveling up his biochemistry skill from lv1 to lv2.
What could it be?
[Ding! Congratulations, your biochemistry has improved to lv2, obtaining exclusive biochemistry and molecular biology usage technique: Probe Technology (lv2).]
Upon seeing the notification, Chen Gong began to tremble uncontrollably.
Holy crap!
For real?!
The sudden surprise left Chen Gong almost in disbelief.
He was incredibly excited, not daring to dream that he could obtain Probe Technology directly!
And it was professional-grade Probe Technology.
Arguably, Probe Technology was the most fundamental yet extensively applicable technique in the field of molecular biology.
If the evolution of humans was premised on freeing the hands to use tools, then Probe Technology was the hands on the molecular level!
A pair of hands that could dare to touch DNA strands!
DNA probe technology, also known as molecular hybridization technology, employs the highly precise nature of DNA molecule denaturation, renaturation, and base pairing complementarity to investigate specific DNA sequences.
Simply put, it can modify DNA bases to achieve... well, the goal of altering their nature.
Probe Technology is ubiquitous in life.
Take for example, nucleic acid test reagents, which are also a form of PCR fluorescent probe technology.
To put it plainly, it targets the unique gene sequences of viruses, and then we use Probe Technology to create a single-stranded DNA, where a pre-added section with a fluorescent probe combines to generate a fluorescent signal.
Once bound, it will exhibit a fluorescent reaction.
It sounds complicated but is actually quite simple.
It's like how ancient people used to identify each other by splitting a jade pendant in half – you take one half, I take the other, and upon reunion, we could fit them together, thus confirming the right person with the jade pendant.
And Probe Technology fabricates that other half at the molecular level, luring you into a trap!
It's that simple.
Probe Technology was a high threshold and difficult but widely needed and desirable technique in the laboratory.
In the two books Chen Gong was reading, there was a wealth of Probe Technology, which is also widely applied in real life.
It can be said that Probe Technology is common both in laboratories and daily life!
Chen Gong was very satisfied with this reward!
Having a probe definitely made one a star in the laboratory...
Even many scientific research organizations explicitly state in their recruitment that proficiency in Probe Technology is sufficient to be hired, which speaks volumes!
This was a critical skill in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology.
Not bad, always steady with the guaranteed slots. What good stuff could possibly come out of a lottery?
Chen Gong was about to close the system.
But... the lottery interface popped up again.
Chen Gong frowned; could it be true that someone couldn't resist the temptation of the lottery?
However, this thing was quite annoying.
Playing with pop-ups now?
Indifferently, Chen Gong opened the lottery interface and casually clicked on it.
As the roulette wheel spun rapidly,
Chen Gong didn't even bother to look.
Most areas on the big wheel were white, but occasionally, one could spot some green and even blue segments.
As the wheel slowly came to a halt, Chen Gong was ready to accept the most basic white award.
But then, a voice suddenly sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have won a reward: one Triple Experience Card.]
Looking at the reward, Chen Gong was stunned for a moment and then started to frown.
[Triple Experience Card (green): After using, gain triple experience for 24 hours (can be paused);]
Green rewards!
Triple experience reward.
It's equivalent to saving three times the time, efficiently doubling the results.
Well... It's not bad.
However, Chen Gong still closed the lottery interface, deciding to save those 8,000 points instead—assurance was the happiest thing for him.
As for the Triple Experience Card, which skill should he enhance?
At that thought, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
I'm being a little too impatient, take it slow.
Nevertheless... Chen Gong did have a plan in mind; rather than joining the basic laboratory, he was keener on joining the clinical laboratory.
After all, his dream was to become a clinician, so...
Chen Gong thought that he could completely wait until he had acquired the medical operation skills before using it.
Once skill levels appeared, the significance of the experience card suddenly became very prominent.
System: ???
Are you not tempted?
It's green, huh?
Surely a hit!
But Chen Gong remained indifferent…
…
Meanwhile, Yang Qingtao was also in the library, only this time, he really didn't have the courage to sit next to Chen Gong.
Ever since the incident last time, Yang Qingtao had been restless, utterly shaken!
He regarded himself as one of the best among his peers, otherwise, he wouldn't have been recruited by Professor Qin to join the research group.
Yet, the strength Chen Gong had displayed was enough to make him feel out of reach, even... it was beyond the realm of effort to catch up.
Was Liu Yuxiao outstanding?
Outstanding!
As someone personally selected by Dean Yang Guangye for guaranteed postgraduate recommendation, Liu Yuxiao was indeed excellent in both clinical and basic research fields.
He had interacted with Liu Yuxiao, but the impression he got wasn't unattainable.
But this sophomore monster... made him feel that even an ordinary teacher wouldn't compare.
And at that moment, when he saw Chen Gong smile, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle involuntarily.
What's up with him again?
While Chen Gong was in the restroom, Yang Qingtao suddenly had an idea and stood up, pretending to pass by.
As he walked past where Chen Gong had been seated, Yang Qingtao paused briefly, taking a closer look.
He saw Chen Gong's notes wide open, densely packed with a multitude of details.
Yang Qingtao took a deep breath, looked around cautiously, and after making sure no one was paying attention, he bowed his head to read.
The more he read, the more unsettled he felt inside!
Because the notes contained specific interpretative analysis on the "Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle," much more intuitive and clear than what the textbooks taught.
As everyone knows, the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle is a difficult and key point of biochemistry, as well as a major focus of postgraduate entrance exams.
Yang Qingtao became engrossed without realizing it!
The bafflements of the past days were being resolved at this moment!
Moreover, Chen Gong's explanation didn't have any complicated language or professional jargon, making it easier to understand and memorize.
"So... an impressive analysis and explanation!"
"If this were... taken out for a lecture... it would definitely be an incredible thing!"
After reading, Yang Qingtao felt like his emotions were in turmoil.
He had signed up for postgraduate classes for the entrance exams, but... the teachers specialized in giving lectures on the field weren't nearly as clear and intuitive as Chen Gong's explanations.
And the main reason for that... was the difference in levels of understanding.
Yes!
Yang Qingtao felt that Chen Gong's comprehension of the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle, even for biochemistry in general, was very profound, surpassing even those of the teachers.
When did this monster appear? Why had he never heard of him before?
"Chen Gong"
Yang Qingtao etched this name deep into his memory.
And at that moment, a sudden voice rang out.
"Hey? Senior... what a coincidence, you're here for self-study too?"
Yang Qingtao got such a shock from the unexpected voice that he almost jumped up.
Hearing Chen Gong's words, he stuttered with a cough, saying,
"That... just now... I saw you, and I was about to... oh, I was about to come over to say hi, but then I noticed you went to the restroom."
"Right, I left in such a hurry last time; it seemed like you had a question for me?"
Yang Qingtao regained his composure and said to Chen Gong.
As a senior, Yang Qingtao was very aware of Chen Gong's abilities and his promising future. Such a person's prospects were naturally limitless.
To give a rose, hands hold a lingering fragrance.
Yang Qingtao had always taken the initiative to support his juniors. As the Student Union president of the department, he had a very good reputation.
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Senior, I'm quite interested in the laboratory."
"How can I join?"
