Bai Yuanzhou watched the elf princess Li Li leave, and shook his head while sitting on the beautifully carved office chair. He really couldn't understand why his fifth brother, who had a close relationship with Li Li, hid the secret that he was the real leader of Junyu Group.

Everyone worked together to clean the dormitory in an orderly manner. On the riverside where snow had not yet formed, everyone sat together and chatted leisurely.

"Hey, did you two know each other before?" The elf Zhou Rui asked Li Li and the mermaid Shen Jinzhu curiously.

"We are in the same magic academy and partners in the same competitive class," Li Li replied.

"That's great. I'm the only one from our academy who entered the final duel, and I don't know anyone here." Lin Shuci, who comes from the Province of Chili Peppers, has a straightforward personality and sharp words.

"We are in the same class." Li Yanshuang gently pointed at herself and Bingfeng Lan Xinyu. Lan Xinyu smiled shyly, silent and reserved, as quiet as a blooming white lotus.

"I almost lost last time. I only had one point more than the second to last place. I succeeded, but he couldn't come." Zhou Rui shared proudly, her good luck has been with her since she was a child.

"What about you? How did you perform in the provincial duel?" she asked.

Li Yanshuang responded: "270."

Lin Shuci: “272.”

Lan Xinyu said shyly, "279."

Zhou Rui patted her on the shoulder and praised: "Amazing, you are really amazing."

Lan Xinyu frowned slightly and moved away quietly.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Li and Shen Jinzhu, and they were the only two left without saying anything.

"I'm 277, as for her..." Shen Jinzhu pointed at Li Li and smiled mysteriously, "I suggest you don't know about it." She was worried that her roommates would be shocked by Li Li's miracles on the first day.

"What's there to not say? The exam couldn't have been so bad, right? If it had been bad, you wouldn't have come here." Zhou Rui was full of curiosity about Li Li's story.

"I..." Li Li was about to speak.

"Let me speak!" Shen Jinzhu took the lead, showing her respect for the giant, "I want to ask you, what is the full score for the provincial duel?" There was a cunning light in her eyes.

Everyone looked at her in confusion, "300 points? Are you confused by the difficulty of the questions?" Lin Shuci laughed.

"That's right! She, Li Li, got full marks!" Shen Jinzhu pointed at Li Li proudly, as if announcing a legend, and then she observed everyone's reactions with interest.

300 points? 300 points!

Lin Shuci's laughter froze instantly, Lan Xinyu and Li Yanshuang opened their mouths in surprise, and Zhou Rui had already fallen in admiration of her talent.

"Great God, please protect me!" Zhou Rui's eyes were full of stars, and she wanted to pay double respect to Li Li. She had long felt that Li Li's temperament was different from others. Although she seemed approachable, she was actually like the bright moon in the sky, far away and unreachable.

Li Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stood up and helped Zhou Rui up. This girl was such an interesting soul.

The others were in awe, for it turned out that the true legend lived in their dormitory.

After a conversation, winter has arrived in Jiangjian River. The final of the math duel is also called the winter camp. The opening ceremony will be held in the grand auditorium of Huaqing...

The magnificent scene of the finals was breathtaking. Although there were only 66 contestants, the winter camp's mentors were all prominent figures in the magic world. The half-month-long winter camp was divided into two parts. The first ten days were spent immersed in magic learning and trials, while the last two days would reveal the real moment of the decisive battle. However, not everyone could make it to the end. Every day, there were magicians who left the stage sadly.

The top five finalists will form the Kingdom’s representative team and compete in the IMC International Magical Olympiad!

Xu Huaijing, the president of the China Magic Academy, personally presided over the opening ceremony. His encouraging voice was like a spring breeze, and the curtain of the winter camp was opened.

After the opening ceremony, the students had a short period of free time to buy daily necessities. Except for Zhou Rui and Li Li, the other girls were visiting the capital for the first time, and they were excited to taste the magic roast duck that is unique to the capital.

"I know where the best roast duck is!" Zhou Rui offered to lead everyone there.

"Okay, great."

Shen Jinzhu gently tugged at Li Li's sleeve and whispered, "Li Li, Li Yan asked where we are. Do you want to have dinner together?"

Zhou Rui keenly captured the conversation and said, "Let's eat together. It will be more lively when there are more people." Everyone agreed.

"Then I'll go ask them."

Shen Jinzhu dialed Li Yan's magic communication, and Li Yan readily agreed. He and Wen Ziyuan were assigned to the same dormitory, and they could no longer tolerate each other's presence.

Everyone agreed to meet at the school gate. From afar, they saw Li Yan with a gloomy face, followed by Wen Ziyuan and... Chu Hai.

"Hey, why are you here too!" Shen Jinzhu looked at him vigilantly.

Chu Hai looked embarrassed, "Why can't I come? After all, we are still on the same team."

"Who's on your team? This isn't a team competition."

"Alright, alright, let's eat first."

Lin Shuci hurried to mediate. It was the first day and everyone wanted to get along well. Besides, they were indeed hungry.

"Hmph!" Shen Jinzhu turned his head, obviously still remembering Chu Hai's last words, and pulled Li Li to walk in front.

Chu Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the boss was not angry. For some reason, he always felt afraid when facing Li Li now.

Zhou Rui, who was born and raised in the imperial capital, knows the food secrets hidden in every corner. After some twists and turns, they came to a magic roast duck restaurant in an alley, which looks like an ordinary family restaurant.

"This is it. I've been eating here since I was a child. The taste is unique, believe me." Zhou Rui assured everyone.

Lan Xinyu and the others felt relieved immediately. They had been worried that the place Zhou Rui chose would be too expensive. After all, Zhou Rui was wearing famous brands, and it was obvious at first glance that she came from a wealthy family.

"Uncle Zhou, give me two roast ducks, cut them thinner."

Zhou Rui called out familiarly as she entered the store, obviously a regular customer. The roast duck is large, two are enough for nine people, and they can also add a few special dishes.

"Okay, why didn't Xiaorui come with your brother today?" the boss asked while busying himself.

"My brother?" Zhou Rui asked puzzledly.

"He's in the private room upstairs."

"You guys sit down for a while and order some other dishes. My brother is upstairs, I'll go say hello." After Zhou Rui gave the instructions, she hurried upstairs.

They found a private seat downstairs and sat down, and ordered a few signature magic dishes recommended by the boss...

Chu Hai was busy providing services to everyone in the mysterious magical world, because he knew very well that if he did not pay enough attention to Shen Jinzhu, those eyes as deep as stars would probably open a hole in his soul like magic.

Zhou Rui said goodbye with an elf-like smile, and soon returned with the magic roast duck. Four plump magic roast ducks were carefully sliced ​​and placed in a crystal magic porcelain plate, shining with an attractive amber glow, like a treasure in the magic forest. This is a shop famous for its hanging oven roast duck, using ancient magic wood jujube wood and li wood as fuel, and roasting with flame magic, so the roast duck exudes a light fruit wood fragrance, which makes people salivate.

Everyone's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and they immediately picked up the magic chopsticks to taste it. The duck meat was crispy as magic armor, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a deep and mellow taste, fat but not greasy. Everyone's face showed joy, it really lived up to its reputation!

When Lord Jiang was halfway through tasting the food, Jiang Nan's voice rang through Li Li's magic communicator, and she immediately walked outside to answer it.

"What are you doing?" Jiangnan's voice was lazy and magnetic, and behind it seemed to be mixed with the noise of the devil world.

"I'm enjoying a magic feast with my classmates." Li Li responded.

Jiang Nan was slightly startled, "I thought you guys had just finished, and was just about to ask you to come over for dinner, Zhou Ye and Yuan Zhou are both here."

"You're not sincere enough to treat me without informing me in advance, Fifth Master." Li Li said with a joking smile.

Jiangnan chuckled. There were so many people in the capital who wanted to have a meal with him but couldn't. Only she, Li Li, dared to speak so frankly.

"Fifth brother, which lucky goddess are you talking to? She's smiling so brightly." Zhou Ye's bold voice penetrated the magic barrier of the private room.

"Are you looking for trouble?" Jiangnan covered the communicator, but Li Li could still hear the frost in his tone.

"It should be Miss Li. I heard that she came to Beijing." Bai Yuanzhou speculated.

"Oh, I was wrong, Lili, come and eat with us. We are in a magic roast duck restaurant. Let me tell you, the roast duck here is simply unique." Zhou Ye quickly apologized and called loudly into the communicator.

Magic roast duck? It can’t be such a coincidence, right?

"Which roast duck restaurant?" Li Li asked.

"Ji Zhou Li, are you coming over? This place is a bit remote and hard to find. Where are you now? I'll let Jiang Jiu pick you up." Jiang Nan thought that she intended to come and was about to arrange for Jiang Jiu to pick her up.

Li Li looked up at the huge sign in front of her, "Zhou Li Ji Magic Roast Duck", and was secretly amazed in her heart that in such a big city like Beijing, she could actually meet her in the same restaurant.

Wait, Zhou Rui just mentioned that her brother is upstairs. Zhou Rui and Zhou Ye, their names really sound like siblings.

"No thanks." Li Li replied.

"Huh?" Jiangnan asked puzzledly.

"I'm here too."

Jiangnan was stunned, "Where are you?"

"The private room downstairs." Li Li then asked, "Does Zhou Ye have a sister?"

"Zhou Rui is with you?" Jiangnan understood instantly.

"Well, she's my roommate."

"That……"

"I'll go up and say hello later."

"Ok."

Li Li hung up the phone, returned to the private room, sat back in her seat, and stared at Zhou Rui who was enjoying the food beside her with relish.

"What...what's wrong? Boss." Zhou Rui asked cautiously.

"Your brother is Zhou Ye?"

"Yes." Zhou Rui understood, but then asked, "How do you know? Do you know my brother?"

"Yes, I'll go say hello later."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Zhou Rui originally wanted to ask how they met, but it was inconvenient with so many people around at the moment. Anyway, she would know later...

A group of people finished enjoying a sumptuous magic feast at the table filled with magic. When Jiang Hou was about to speak, Zhou Rui spoke first, "Uncle Zhou, let's put the cost of this time under my brother's name."

"no problem."

Shen Jinzhu shook his head in objection, "How can this be possible? We are all magic apprentices, an equal share would be best."

"Oh, don't mind. Just consider it as a token of my appreciation as the host." Zhou Rui didn't care. "Or, next time you invite me, I won't refuse. Let's do a fair deal."

"Okay, but don't do this next time." After several refusals, they accepted Zhou Rui's proposal.

A glimmer flashed in Lan Xinyu's eyes, and she took Zhou Rui's arm affectionately, "Xiao Rui, I'm really sorry to bother you."

"Xiao Rui?" Zhou Rui felt a chill, forced a smile, and broke away. "Li Li and I still have some things to deal with. Why don't you go back to the academy first?"

They had just met for a short time, how could something happen? How could they become so close so quickly? Lan Xinyu's eyes were full of confusion.

Li Yan looked at Li Li, and Li Li nodded slightly.

"Then we'll leave first. You should go back early too. Don't forget to check the dormitory." He reminded.

After watching them leave, Li Li went upstairs with Zhou Rui.

"Why did you come to see me again?" Zhou Ye looked at Zhou Rui, who was smiling, with an unfriendly tone.

"Can't I come?" Li Li followed behind Zhou Rui and asked jokingly.

Zhou Ye's face immediately broke into a bright smile, "Hey, Sister Li, of course you're welcome."

"No, why are you two together?"
