Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

"Miss Li, if the Ling family has any needs in the future, just let us know and we will do our best." Ling Yuan calmed down and said solemnly.

Li Li nodded calmly, she had not yet realized the weight behind this promise. The Ling family was a top family in the capital that had been passed down from generation to generation, with a profound heritage. The old patriarch was a founding hero, but unfortunately he died early due to the scars left by the battles when he was young. Ling Yuan joined the political world and held an important position, Ling Feng went into business and achieved hegemony, but Ling You was an exception. He was fascinated by art, first loving the sound of the zither, and later obsessed with painting.

It can be said that with Ling Yuan's words, Li Li can move freely in the capital.

Everyone adjusted their mood and went downstairs to eat. Grandma Ling kept picking food for Li Li, and Ling's mother was equally enthusiastic.

There was laughter and joy at the dinner table. Ling's mother even wanted to adopt Li Li as her adopted daughter, but was stopped by Ling Yuan and Jiang.

After the meal, Li Li was about to say goodbye, but Jiang reminded her that it was late and there was a game tomorrow.

Seeing this, Ling's mother took out the thank-you gift she had prepared in advance, and had specially added a few more. She stuffed the gift into Li Li's hand, and seeing that she wanted to refuse, she hurriedly said: "Li Li, you saved Ling You, our whole family is grateful, you should accept this gift, I hope you can help us feel at ease, okay?"

Ling's mother's eyes were full of expectation, and the others looked at her sincerely, as if they could not leave unless they accepted it. Li Li had no choice but to accept it.

Back at the hotel, Li Li opened the gifts from the Ling family: an obsidian bank card with no balance indicated, a set of dazzling royal emerald jewelry, a giant uncut diamond that was larger than a bird's egg, and a transfer certificate for one-fifth of the shares of the Ling Group, whose value was inestimable.

Ouch, they call this a small token of thanks? ...

In ancient times, no matter what magical tools she needed to explore mysteries, or what exotic materials she needed in daily life, she only needed to call for them, and someone would immediately find them for her. In that world where magic and wealth intertwined, Li Li had never experienced the weight of money until she was shocked by the generosity of a mysterious rich man for the first time.

All other things can be ignored, but the equity cannot be lost. Li Li dialed Ling You's transmission talisman and detailed the current situation.

"Please accept it, or my family will not feel at ease. It does not cost you anything, and I will only give you a share of magic power at the end of the year."

She had never seen anyone so willing to give money, not to mention that this gift was irresistible. Li Li could only accept it silently.

The next morning, Li Li woke up from her dream, looking energetic and full of magical energy.

The final showdown of the National Magic Innovation Competition kicked off in the Arcane Hall in the capital. Li Li, Lin Dai and Lan Qi met here.

A notice stood at the door, "The temple is closed today."

"Oh, little girl, the hall is not open to the public today." The guard at the door mistakenly thought she was an apprentice who came to study.

"I'm a contestant." Li Li pointed to another competition guide and stepped steadily into the hall.

The guard was slightly stunned, wondering in his heart: There is such a young wizard participating in the competition?

As soon as she entered the venue, Li Li saw Lin Dai and Lan Qi verifying their identities in the verification area, and she followed suit.

The order of appearance was determined by randomly drawing spells, and a total of 14 groups of magicians entered the finals. Li Li and her two friends were lucky enough to draw number , placing them in the middle.

Most of the contestants are masters and scholars in various fields. Students are already rare, not to mention young mages like Li Li who seem to have entered the temple by mistake, who are particularly eye-catching.

Li Li put on a magic hat to isolate herself from the outside world, and the three of them sat in the audience. The academic competition did not have too many complicated ceremonies. A university professor presided over the whole process, briefly explaining the purpose and process of the competition. After that, the representative of the organizing committee of the competition gave a congratulatory speech, and the final officially began.

The competition adopts a scoring system with ten authoritative jury members. The full score is ten stars. The highest and lowest scores are eliminated, and the remaining average is the final score.

The contestants took the stage one by one, and Li Li listened attentively. Although the current level of technology is far behind that of the Star River era, there are still things worth learning from.

The mages at the judging panel held scrolls of the order of appearance in their hands. The two at the end were talking in low voices. "The next contestant, No. 7, is the magician who proposed the quantum spell storage device." The speaker was a professor from the Kyoto University School of Magic.

"Hmm?" Lin Dai straightened up and looked towards where her mentor was with great interest.

The other judges also recalled this contestant's essay and their expressions became more focused.

Contestant No. 7 walked into the competition venue. He looked unexpectedly young, wearing black-framed glasses and thin, like a student from a science and engineering school. He inserted the magic USB drive he brought with him and presented his paper.

"Dear judges, I am contestant No. 7 Jiang Qiao. The theme of my work is about the quantum spell storage device, which is the concept of a quantum USB flash drive. Please allow everyone to watch the screen first..."

Jiang Qiao talked nonstop, his originally dull face sparkling as he talked about his work. He was full of confidence in his ideas...

“Oh my god, this is a magical star USB drive!”

The atmosphere on the viewing platform was lively because the theme presented by Jiang Qiao was amazing.

"Next, I will present my experimental evidence." Jiang Qiao flipped the slides.

How is it possible? The judges were all surprised. Jiang Hou's previous work had no empirical support, but now Jiang Qiao already had experimental data. His efficiency was astonishing.

“This is all my work, thank you for your attention.”

After Jiang Qiao finished his speech, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

Professor Wang from Huaqing University asked Jiang Qiao questions, and she answered them calmly one by one.

Professor Wang nodded with satisfaction, discussed quietly with his colleagues, and gave the highest evaluation so far, which amazed the audience.

"That's amazing!" Lin Dai exclaimed in admiration.

No subsequent contestant could surpass her score, not because it was not good enough, but because there was a beautiful jade before her that was difficult to surpass.

Li Li felt a little tired and said to Lin Dai, "I'll take a short rest first, call me later."

"Wait, sir, the game is going on now..." Before Lin Dai could stop her, Li Li had already taken off her hat and covered her face and fell asleep.

Each contestant needs at least twenty minutes, and Jiang Jian still has some time. Li Li is still sleeping soundly, and even the noise around her cannot disturb her.

It was not until Lin Dai and Lan Qi hurriedly woke her up and told her that she was about to go on stage that she slowly got up.

"Contestant No. 14 is No. 236." The group that the jury was most looking forward to came on stage. The previous tiredness instantly dissipated, and Professor Wang quietly glanced at a hidden corner.

Li Lin immediately sent a message to alert her boss. The man in the last row, dressed in a suit, raised his eyes. The eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses revealed the shrewdness of a businessman. He wanted to witness with his own eyes what was so extraordinary about the person Li Lin admired.

"Hello, jury. We are No. 14. I am Lin Dai."

“I’m Lan Qi.”

“I’m Li Li.”

The three of them spoke briefly, and Li Li's voice was a little hoarse as she had just woken up.

The man in the last row sat up straight immediately. It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? Such a young group of contestants? Especially that girl, is she an adult? How could someone use such a competition to gild themselves?

The judges looked at each other in surprise. They had never expected that the design that shocked them came from the hands of three young people.

“Who is your speaker?” Professor Wang asked.

"It's me." No one expected that the speaker would be the most inconspicuous girl.

"Then... let's get started."

Li Li nodded, and Lin Dai and Lan Qi stepped aside to unfold their research papers. Li Li spoke.

"What's on the screen is our new aircraft design. We'll briefly demonstrate the actual aircraft later. First, about this new aircraft..."

Stepping onto the stage, Li Li's lazy temperament instantly changed. Although her voice was not sonorous and powerful, it could lead people to completely immerse themselves in the world she constructed. Wherever she stood was her territory, and no one could dominate it!

The judges' eyes flickered and their expressions became extremely focused. What this girl said went far beyond the paper, and this was what frightened them...

They have realized that although their team consists of three people, the real leader is this young female magician.

Professor Wang stared at her in shock and asked himself: How is this possible?

The audience was at a loss. Was this about the flying bird magic weapon? That was not what they knew. Contestant No. 7 Jiang Qiao's eyes were as bright as stars.

The man in the back row listened to Li Li's statement and finally understood why Li Lin called this an excellent magic project. As for the flying bird magic weapon, as long as Li Li is willing to join forces with them, Jun and his family will surely return with a full load, and it is only a matter of time before they dominate this mysterious sky.

"This is our entire idea," Li Li said, declaring the end.

During the question-and-answer session, Li Li handed the important task to Lin Dai and Lan Qi, who lived up to expectations and responded to various fantastic and difficult questions wittily.

After everything was over, it took the judges a long time to come back to their senses. There are so many geniuses in the world!

After three seconds of silence, thunderous applause swept the entire audience.

“Even though I didn’t quite understand it, it felt pretty magical.”

"Me too. Maybe this is the demeanor of a giant."

The men in the back row also applauded happily, saying that today's trip was worth it.

The judges' discussion lasted for a long time. Everyone waited quietly, and soon the results were announced.

Full marks! All-around! All ten judges gave the highest ratings without exception. There were gasps in the audience. The winner was in no doubt! They were the final winners!

The other contestants smiled bitterly and shook their heads. How could they still compete? But they were convinced by the result.

Who on earth are these people?
