"Lili, we have some academic tasks to complete, so go find some books you like to read." He Shan activated the magic screen and said apologetically.

"No problem, you guys focus on your work, I'll go shopping by myself."

Li Li stepped into the vast sea of ​​books. This book hall has more than one million volumes, covering illusions, politics, astronomy, secrets... all kinds of knowledge, various ethnic languages, and a dazzling array of books. Li Li's eyes were attracted by a shining book. It turned out to be the first edition of Sir Isaac Newton's "The Magical Framework of Nature"!

Unfortunately, the book is carefully sealed in a transparent protective cover, so one can only see its shape but not touch its texture. Despite proper protection, the traces of time are still quietly engraved on the ancient pages.

On the stone tablet nearby, the eulogy of the knight is engraved in elegant and lively ancient Latin: "Nature and the laws are hidden in the darkness. God said: Let Newton come! Then the light shines on all things."

"Pa pa pa", the soft applause woke Li Li up. "You speak Latin like a poem. Are you a traveler from the Latin Academy?" A bearded blond elder praised in fluent common language, his eyes full of surprise.

It turned out that Li Li recited the eulogy without realizing it.

"That's not the case." Li Li replied in the common language, "I just know a little bit."

"Wow, your pronunciation of Common Language is so pure." The man was even more surprised. He had thought that Orientals always had an indescribable exotic accent when speaking Common Language, but this girl's pronunciation was flawless.

"Are you eager to read the book yourself?" the man asked.

"Is it okay?" There was a hint of urgency in Li Li's tone. Even though the contents of the book were widely known, the feeling of touching the first edition would definitely be different, as if traveling through time and space to touch a page of ink with the sages.

The man smiled, his green eyes rippling like lake water. "Every year, outstanding graduates of UCD have the opportunity to read this book. You may have the opportunity too."

UCD is the abbreviation of the University of London. Li Li felt a little disappointed when she heard that it needed outstanding graduates, but she did not come here to study for this book.

"What? Don't you have confidence in yourself?" the man wondered. Based on his intuition, this girl should not be someone who lacks self-confidence.

“It’s not that I lack confidence, I’m just not a student here.”

"Hmm? Are you from another college?" It is not uncommon for students from other schools to visit the UCD Star Library. "You can also apply to become our graduate student."

Facing the man's enthusiasm, Li Li smiled apologetically and was about to explain, "Sorry, I'm not a student studying abroad, I..."

"Lili, are you here?" It was He Shan's voice, interrupting her words.

She took a step forward in the mist, recognized the face of the man Li Li had been talking to, and nervously swallowed the mysterious mist, "Dean Andre, hello."

Oh my god, it’s Dean Andre from the School of Magic and Mathematics, who is known for his strictness?

Andre raised one eyebrow. He Shan knew him, which meant she should be a member of the academy.

"Who are you?" he asked, his voice like an ancient spell.

"I'm He Shan, majoring in electronic rune engineering." He Shan responded instinctively.

Andre nodded slightly and asked, "Are you classmates?"

"No, that's not it." He Shan was stunned. They didn't know each other? Why did they talk for so long?

"She is a participating wizard from China," He Shan explained.

There is only one large magic competition in the academy recently, and that is...

"Magic Olympiad?" Andre's eyes widened in surprise. "It's only past ten in the morning. Why is she in the library? Shouldn't she be participating in the trial?"

Li Li stroked her nose gently, "I have completed the trial."

"I see." Andrea felt a little regretful. It was finished so early. It seemed that her trial performance was not good. However, her language magic was quite outstanding. Perhaps she could consider studying the grammar school.

"It doesn't matter. Just like the proverb in your China says, all roads lead to the magic city." Andre comforted her.

Li Li: “…”

What does she mean?

Li Li smiled awkwardly and politely.

"If you want to study abroad, you can consider our college." After leaving these words, Andre disappeared into the mist.

"I was really scared, Lili, why were you chatting with Dean Andre?" He Shan patted her chest and took a deep breath to calm her nervousness.

"We are discussing this book." Li Li pointed to the ancient books in the glass display cabinet.

"That is a magical tome that only outstanding graduates can access, and there are no more than five in the entire academy each year."

He Shan looked at it expectantly. Don't get me wrong, she was not interested in the book itself. She was just drooling over the title of outstanding graduate that it symbolized.

"Then you should work hard, senior. Maybe then I can use your help to see her true face."

"Forget it. It might be more practical to think about what to eat for lunch." He Shan knows herself very well.

Li Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Li Li, come here!"

In the tower where the Chinese team lived, Chen Zhirun's roar echoed throughout the floors.

"What happened, Coach?"

Li Yanshuang and others who had just returned from the trial asked in confusion. It was the first time they saw Coach Chen so angry with Lili. What on earth did Sister Li do?

"Old Chen, why are you so angry?" Professor Wang was holding his magic thermos cup, still smiling. He was in charge of logistics today and did not accompany the trial, so he didn't know what had happened.

"Let her explain it herself!" Chen Zhirun looked at Li Li with dissatisfaction.

Li Li looked confused, she was also bewildered, "I didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything? Then what you did would be even worse!" Chen Zhirun was furious. "Forty-two participating teams, two hundred and ten magicians, many instructors, and even the chairman of the examination committee were all watching. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, you were the only one who handed in your paper and left after only forty minutes."

Professor Wang's thermos cup almost slipped from his hand, and he was stunned...

"Mr. Chairman Smith thought there was a magical anomaly and specially sent an envoy to question the magic invigilator. Let me ask you, can't you just be quiet for a while and make sure every seal is flawless?" Chen Zhirun said, pressing his chest again. This time when he goes back, he must report the magic damage!

“If you want to show off your skills, you have to look at the style of my sister Li.” Chu Hai gave a thumbs up in admiration.

Wow, it’s amazing that I managed to complete such an important magic trial ahead of schedule!

Li Yanshuang covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Four and a half hours." Li Li whispered.

Chen Zhirun gritted his teeth and said, "Four and a half hours, so what? Even if it's ten and a half hours, you have to sit still like a mountain!"

"Okay, okay." Li Li responded helplessly.

Chen Zhirun's expression lightened up a bit, he unscrewed the magic crystal cup, and turned to Li Yan and the others, "By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

The magic test had just ended, and Li Yan and others wanted to talk but stopped, but he was so angry that he had no time to listen.

Everyone exchanged glances, and Feng Qinwei stood up, "We just want to say that Sister Li's guess on the second question was quite accurate."

"Wow!" The magic drink gushed out of Chen Zhirun's mouth. "What did you say? You guessed the correct answer to the question?"

Professor Wang dropped the crystal cup in his hand. He didn't care. "How is this possible? Aren't the test questions randomly generated by the magic circle? How can I guess correctly?"

Chu Hai scratched his head. "Although they are not exactly the same, the solution ideas are basically the same, with only a slight change. If it weren't for Sister Li's detailed explanation yesterday, we might not have been able to solve this puzzle until now."

God knows how excited they were when they saw the question.

Oh, it turns out that they are not completely consistent, but it’s still acceptable.

Far from it! Chen Zhirun clenched his cup. What does it mean to be able to guess a similar question? This means that the guesser has a complete insight into the thinking and intentions of the questioner. This is not something that can be achieved by simply studying historical test questions. This requires amazing logical deduction and magical perception.

In a way, she has become a question setter!

Chen Zhirun, who was just blaming Li Li, now wants to treat her as a treasure. She is really a baby who brings "surprises" all the time.

"Lili, today's magic test must have exhausted your energy, right? We won't disturb your rest." Chen Zhirun immediately put on a fatherly smile.

"Can your face-changing skills match the speed of Coach Chen?" Chu Hai whispered to Feng Qinwei.

Feng Qinwei is from H Province, and face-changing is their intangible cultural heritage.

Feng Qinwei glanced at Coach Chen and said with certainty: "Impossible!"

Li Yanshuang couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud.

On the first day of the magic test, everyone was in good condition and had put half of their worries aside.

On May 2nd, the second day of the International Magic Olympiad begins!

The moment they received the test papers, many students' expressions changed suddenly. The difficulty was completely different from the first day, and the level was raised to a higher level.

Smith smiled gently. "The International Magic Olympiad aims to select the most outstanding and mathematically gifted magicians, so it needs some challenging questions."

The coaches present had a perfunctory smile on their faces, but they were secretly cursing in their hearts, it would be fun to give such a difficult question and have the whole team be wiped out...

After yesterday's mysterious trial, many mentors paid secret attention to Li Li.

The layout of the examination room changed suddenly today. Li Li was in the second arcane examination room. When the test paper fell softly, she caught a slight inhalation sound. This subtle movement aroused her interest.

Her eyes quietly slid to the last question, and the corners of Li Li's mouth quietly rose.

"A hunter and an invisible magic rabbit are playing a strange game on the Euclidean plane of the multiverse. It is known that the rabbit's initial coordinates A0 coincide with the hunter's starting point B0. After n-1 reincarnations, the rabbit arrives at point An-1, and the hunter is at Bn-1. In the nth alternation, the following three anomalies appear in turn..."

Is it the magical phantom rabbit? Quite interesting.

This question is the most challenging puzzle Li Li has ever encountered, but for her, it is just a small test. So she decided to start with this question.

The magic ink slid across the parchment, making a rustling sound like silk threads. She filled two pages of answers to this question alone.
