11 The Bookworm!

Shawn continued to read.

There was no stopping him.

Almost ten billion people on the battleships also read together.

When the former read it, he understood the contents and was able to integrate the knowledge.

The latter was confused and was forced to read together for four hours.

There was only one hour left.

Everyone was nervous.

Sean had read dozens of books.

The expert said, "He's not reading. He's just killing time. This kind of behavior is shameful."

"I bet 10 million... It can't count if he reads like this."

In China, Jack Ma retorted, "I can't agree with your point of view. In these few hours, even if he was just reading a catalog, he can increase his knowledge."

"Increase his knowledge... Bah..."

"The ball owner is an American, right? He's the only one left on Earth. What's the point of increasing his knowledge?"

The expert was unconvinced. He used the warship's public network system to post a tweet, strongly condemning Shawn for wasting the world's money.

However, he did not expect that the number of clicks would increase explosively.

Public opinion exploded.

He earned back his bet of ten million by several folds.

In the end, Shawn read books to increase his knowledge reserves.

He read one book a minute, or even faster.

No one could have expected anything other than basic human nature.

If anyone had to guess, they would have guessed this person was either a madman or a genius.

"Do you think that Mr. Shawn has accepted all the knowledge in the books he has read?"

"Bullsh* t. If he can learn anything by reading books like this, then he can just kill me, who has been studying this subject for more than ten years."

All kinds of curses continued.

But no matter what, 99% of the people in the first gamble had lost.

Only some of the higher-ups had expected this.

The higher-ups of the American Spaceship Command.

Also the Las Vegas Gaming Company. They were laughing so hard that their mouths were split ear to ear.

This amount of money was a windfall.

Just the flow of tens of trillions of dollars on the internet and the deduction of taxes alone had made the United States rich.

There were also people from China who were happy.

They had seen through the ploy and placed big bets that Shawn was able to win and persevere.

At the same time, it also made people from many countries around the world think that the human being that remained on earth was no ordinary man.

Who would read for more than five hours knowing that everyone in the world has left?

That was not the end of it.

There were many precious materials and books in the Tesla material room. There were more than a dozen bookshelves.

After reading for five hours, Shawn did not stop. He continued to read one book after another.

The sky slowly darkened.

The enthusiasm on the public screen slowly subsided.

It had been eight hours.

"Oh my God, the ball owner hasn't eaten yet, has he?"

"Yeah, did he forget to eat and sleep? He is the last person on earth right now. He can eat whenever he wants. He can eat whatever he wants."

Shawn's every move, even if it was to take a dump, would become a global event.

No one on Earth had this kind of attention span.

No one had ever thought that such a thing would happen.

Reality slapped everyone in the face.

Shawn stretched and glanced at the dozen bookshelves in front of him. He had read most of the important books.

Shawn knew that he had to do something else.

In just eight hours, he had learned more than a genius could study in a lifetime.

After all, none of these books were fictional?

They were real research materials.

They weren't graphs of the stock market either.

These were all scientific and technological materials?

How many books had he read in eight hours? Shawn was shocked at himself.

A total of two thousand books...

His hands were blistered.

He stretched and yawned.

Everyone on the spaceship was nervous again.

"Oh my God, ball owner, you've finally finished reading?"

"I didn't see a survival guide. What will happen?"

Shawn stood up and exited the materials room.

It was quiet all around, only the sound of insects could be heard.

Without any hesitation, he walked straight to a quantum helicopter.

After a few steps, Shawn suddenly stopped and said to himself, "If the quantum helicopter does not have enough power, then I'll be in big trouble. Better to be safe and drive a quantum car."

"Pfft..."

"Pfft..."

"Pfft..."

It was the middle of the night and many people were already sleepy. Upon hearing Shawn's muttering, they vomited blood.

Some vomited rice, and some vomited water.

Some were so surprised that they even vomited urine but it came from below.

"Wahaha, what is the ball owner saying?"

"Can everyone fly a helicopter?"

"Yeah, Tesla will be crushed if that happens."

Tesla said anonymously, "We will sue Mr. Shawn if he causes an accident and slanders our reputation when he doesn't even know what he's doing."

Shawn opened the door of the nearest car. The cars here were all unlocked.

There were no electronic locks, which saved him a lot of inconveniences.

He drove the car toward the bustling areas of Hawaii.

Everyone's eyes were on him.

Earth's technology had reached higher than the sky. Although there was a stretch of land without cameras, the satellite above the Earth's atmosphere could capture everything and it was connected to the spaceship.

It did not hinder global transmission.

Soon they reached the city.

Shawn chose a super popular Chinese restaurant.

Although there was no chef here, there were a lot of ingredients left in the freezer.

Everyone was extremely disappointed.

Everyone was paying attention to whether Shawn would do anything unusual.

Some were destined to be disappointed and some were destined to be happy.

"I'm very curious. In the restaurant, there are no chefs, no waiters, and only some ingredients. What will Mr. Shawn do?"

"Eat it raw. Didn't the ancient barbarians all live like this?"

"Bullsh* t, eat it raw? All the stoves in there are functional."

However, Shawn's next move was even more surprising.

He didn't go directly to the cold storage to look for ingredients.

Instead, he rummaged through the cabinets.

"Guess, is he looking for money?"

"All the money in our restaurant was destroyed when it was converted into digital currency."

A special comment appeared on the public screen.

"Ah, the owner of the restaurant is here too? This was no small feat. The AI system is really good at retrieving useful information. They can even pick out such information."

Shawn's actions once again shocked everyone.

He found the basic recipe.

He quickly flipped through it.
