"Uh, that... I haven't decided yet what kind of magic I want to learn, so I can't give you an answer right now." Li Li answered honestly. She really hadn't thought about it yet.

Since her return, despite being busy every day, everything she does seems to be pushed forward. Taking part in competitions is an order from her teacher, and starting a company is due to family pressure. She has not yet done anything truly out of her own will.

"It's okay, no need to rush, you can decide anytime." Wang Qianyi was determined to get this student.

"Okay, thank you Professor Wang. Can I leave now?" Li Li looked around at everyone and asked hesitantly.

"Let's go, let's go." Chen Zhilan looked at her indifferent expression, his tone somewhat helpless.

Li Li left quickly, as if the wind was blowing under her feet.

"Lili, did Coach Chen ask you for something just now?" Li Yanshuang asked curiously.

"Nothing, let's go eat and try the cafeteria here." Li Li didn't pay much attention to her appetite, but now under her father's care, her taste has become picky.

"Okay, okay, let's call them along." Li Yanshuang immediately shifted her attention.

The cafeteria at the base is huge. It provides a variety of cuisines to cater to all tastes. Only when you are satisfied with the food can you devote more energy to magic research.

Li Li prefers spicy food, Li Yan and Chu Hai have similar preferences, while Li Yanshuang and Feng Qinwei prefer light food. Everyone ordered several dishes, taking their own tastes into consideration.

Among the five people, Feng Qinwei was relatively unfamiliar to them, but his silence did not make them feel awkward. Everyone was enjoying the food, only Chu Hai was talking nonstop.

He carefully observed everyone in the cafeteria and introduced them one by one: "The one on the left wearing a white robe was said to be a famous dark web mage, but now he has become a guest of honor in the royal court. Tsk tsk."

"Does the man in the yellow robe in front of you look familiar to you? He is the winner of the special prize in the National Magic Newcomer Competition last year. You can't judge a person by his appearance."

"Wait, there's also the agricultural sage over there wearing magic glasses who often appears in the mysterious 'Arcane Farming' channel. This place really brings together giants in various fields. What qualifications do I have to sit here?"

As soon as he said this, the people who were concentrating on eating all raised their eyes to look at him. Chu Hai immediately realized and quickly clarified: "I didn't mean to refer to you, I was just being modest."

Everyone was still staring at him, Chu Hai was helpless and felt he had no way to defend himself.

"Are you... Lilia No. 14?" A hesitant voice sounded behind Lilia.

Lilia turned around and saw a young man who looked like an apprentice from a magic academy. He looked familiar. Lilia searched for this man in her memory.

"You're...Jon?"

"Yes, you still remember me?" Jon responded in surprise.

Jon had been the runner-up in a national arcane competition that Lillia had competed in, and she was impressed by his arcane creations, which were extremely innovative.

"How will you be here?"

"I'm here to participate in secret training. They are all my classmates." Lilia introduced everyone politely and did not ask Jon why he was here, because it was probably related to some confidential arcane research.

"We parted too hastily after the last competition. I have something I want to discuss with you, is that okay?" Jon saw Lilia's confusion and added, "It's about some experimental projects."

"Okay." Lilia said to her teammates, "Wait for me for a moment."

Everyone nodded, and Jon followed Lilia to another corner of the cafeteria and sat down.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush, here's what happened..." Jon went straight to the point.

It turned out that Jon was a graduate student at a top magic academy. After the last competition, his talent was noticed by the top management and he was invited to join a secret arcane research.

He couldn't elaborate on the specific content of the research, but they were currently facing a pressing problem: they lacked a master who was proficient in arcane calculations.

"Is there a lack of masters of arcane calculation here?" Lilia was puzzled. In this place where talented people gather, how could there be no such masters? Wasn't that the mysterious hacker Chu Hai mentioned just now?

"It's different." Jon shook his head. "In addition to being proficient in mathematical calculations, you also need a deep understanding of magical geometry. In my opinion, you are the most suitable candidate."

Lillia's work in the last Arcane Innovation Competition has already demonstrated her amazing talent in arcane calculations. Later, I learned that she was the gold medalist of the Magic Mathematics Competition. Combining these two points, Lillia is the only one who can win.

"Don't worry, as long as you join, the project subsidies and rewards are very generous, and your efforts will not be in vain."

"That's not the main reason." Lilia shook her head. "I'm just a student taking part in secret training here. How can I possibly join the arcane research project you mentioned?"

"Don't worry about this. I will report to my superiors and recommend you. Of course, there will be corresponding assessments, but I believe that with your abilities, it won't be a problem." Jon was full of confidence in Lilia.

Lilia pondered for a moment. Indeed, the training life here was quite monotonous. It would be nice to find something to kill time. But she still had a question, "Can you tell me a little bit about what aspect of the sky this project is about?"

Jon hesitated, but still answered, "The secret of sky navigation."

In the realm of stars? Li Li couldn't help but shudder. How could the plan of star exploration be carried out quietly in this mysterious forest? Not to mention that such experiments are usually carried out in the endless wasteland far away, the secrecy of the star navigation plan alone is not something that this hidden base can accommodate. Therefore, what Jiang Qiao mentioned should be related to the exploration of the star realm, such as the research on the material of the stars.

Li Li's eyes flickered. "That sounds good. Ask the project team for their opinion first, and then tell me."

Jiang Qiao was ecstatic, "Okay."

They exchanged contact information, and Jiang Qiao left first because he was busy with experiments.

"Sister Li, what did that person want to talk to you about just now?" Chu Hai asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.

"There are some things and they asked me if I could help." Li Li responded lightly, saying that things that have not yet been confirmed should not be publicized.

“Okay.” Chu Hai nodded slightly disappointedly, having originally expected some shocking inside information.

"Eat quickly. Classes will start tomorrow and we won't have much free time like this." Li Yan reminded everyone.

"Ah." Everyone sighed in unison.

-----------------------

"What did you say? Have you found the right person to handle the star calculation work?" In a laboratory deep in the base, project leader He Renping asked with a frown after finishing an interstellar matter experiment.

Although Jiang Qiao is young and taciturn, he is talented and hardworking. However, he suddenly mentioned that there is a suitable candidate who can take over the star calculation part, which makes He Renping a little unbelievable.

"Yes, team leader." Jiang Qiao firmly recommended Li Li, "She is very capable and has a great talent for star mathematics."

"Oh?" He Renping's interest was aroused. "She is also a student of Star Research? Your classmate? Has she made any academic achievements?"

"Uh..." Jiang Qiao hesitated. If he said that Li Li was just a sophomore in high school, would the team leader believe it?

"Team leader, the person I'm talking about may be young, but he has absolutely no problem with his ability. I can guarantee that." Jiang Qiao vowed.

He Renping's brows furrowed even deeper. "Young? You mean a student from the Star University? That's impossible. You know that the star calculation work in our project is heavy and complicated. A degree from the Star University is not enough."

"He's not a Xing University student, he's a Gao... Gao Xing student." Jiang Qiao inexplicably felt insecure.

He Renping's face darkened instantly. "Xing University student? Xiao Jiang, are you kidding me? If you have nothing to do, go do a few more experiments."

"No, team leader, listen to me. Although she is still studying at Gaoxing, we cannot look at her with the standard of ordinary Gaoxing students. She is the champion in the National Star Creation Competition."

Champion? He Renping was stunned.

Jiang Qiao then said, "She is at our base right now. She is participating in the training camp for the IM StarCraft Olympics. She is the champion of this year's CMO."

“There are many CMO champions, but not everyone is qualified for the position.” He Renping still has doubts…

"There are many chief magician titles, but what about the chief magician who gets full marks in all subjects? She is the first and the only one. If you have any doubts, you can contact the instructor of the training camp in person and ask if there is a girl named Li Li. You can find out what her talent is." Jiang Qiao tried his best to persuade him.

"Okay, I understand. You can step aside first and let me think about it." He Renping waved his hand, obviously unwilling to continue discussing the matter.

Jiang Qiao had no choice but to step down and planned to find Jiang Ji and the team leader again for in-depth communication.

The chief magician champion with full marks in all subjects? He Renping thought for a moment, found the contact information of the training camp instructor Chen Zhirun, and called him. It wouldn't take too much time to just make a phone call and ask.

"Hello? Hello." Chen Zhirun's voice was filled with confusion. He didn't know who was calling or if it was a communication within the base.

"Teacher Chen? I'm He Renping from Group C." He Renping introduced himself. As a professor at the Magic Academy, there was nothing wrong with addressing Chen Zhirun like that.

"Hello, Team Leader He, what can I do for you?"

Chen Zhirun had a high position and naturally knew that He Renping was the project leader, but they did not have much in common, so he was curious about why He Renping contacted him.

"I heard that one of your students is named Li Li?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Why did he mention Li Li?

"The thing is, our project is currently lacking an assistant who is good at magic arrays and mathematics. Someone in the group recommended Li Li, so I called to find out about her situation." He Renping explained the purpose of his visit.

"......" Chen Zhirun was silent for a moment. Not long after Li Li left school, the project leader came to her. Although talented people always shine, her light seems too dazzling!

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Zhirun responded seriously: "I dare not speak rashly about magic formations, but in mathematics, she is the most talented student I have ever seen, unprecedented and unparalleled."
