As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 321: End of Daily Life

Li Miaomiao felt strange because there were so many cool magic in Harry Potter, especially compared with the real world.

Teleportation is just a very common magic, and it has many limitations.

She was puzzled by Zheng Li's aesthetic taste in magic.

"I think the time-turner is the most technologically advanced gadget.

But even if there is a time-turner, I won't use it. Life is tiring enough, there is no need to use magic props to split one person into two. "

Zheng Li smiled and said, "It is almost impossible to reproduce the time converter in the short term, but it is possible to change the shape and shadow."

Li Miaomiao put her head close to Zheng Li's ear and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure?

Can space teleportation be achieved in a short period of time?"

Originally, Li Miaomiao wanted to add a question: To what extent have you mastered magic?

Zheng Li knew that the other party had misunderstood his meaning. In Zheng Li's concept of time, hundreds of years were considered a short time.

With the magic he currently possesses, jumping back and forth between Suzhou, Kuala Lumpur and Geneva is already a form of teleportation in a sense.

But compared with the one in the movies, this kind of teleportation has too little freedom.

“The short time here means that it can be achieved within a few hundred years with the advancement of science and magic.

It doesn’t mean three to five years.

Even if humans have colonized the stars, it is still difficult to create a time-turner. "

After Zheng Li finished speaking, Li Miaomiao asked, "What about Avada Kedavra and the Imperius Curse?"

Zheng Li: “It’s not difficult to achieve a similar effect in reality, but it’s still a bit difficult to replicate.

Just like the London serial murders, using magic to cause heart attacks is easy to do and poses a great threat to ordinary people. "

Many people die from heart attacks every year, which is why the London limited edition mages will be caught for doing this.

A big part of the reason is that many of the people they choose are young people in their prime.

Such frequent abnormal deaths can easily attract the attention of the police, especially during such a sensitive period.

Li Miaomiao quickly asked, "What do you want to eat? We can eat something first, then walk around here and find a bar to have a drink."

Zheng Li: "You decide."

China's catering industry is particularly developed. Now it has reached the point where most of the catering businesses on the market will be reshuffled every few months.

The prosperity of pre-prepared meals has caused low- and mid-end restaurants to focus less on taste and more on decoration and marketing.

Of course, given Zheng Li and Li Miaomiao’s spending power, it is impossible for them to come across pre-prepared meals.

"What would you like to drink?" After dinner, in a bar, Li Miaomiao pushed the menu to Zheng Li.

Zheng Li took a look and found that he knew the words on it, but the content was not clear to him, so Zheng Li asked, "Elderflower Martini."

Zheng Li had only drunk elderberry liqueur when he was in Brussels, and the only thing he knew in this bar was elderberry.

Recalling the taste from last time, Zheng Li thought it was pretty good, so he decided to continue ordering it.

Li Miaomiao asked curiously: "This taste may be quite strong.

It uses vodka as its base.

But you can drink liquor, so this won’t be a big problem for you.”

"This is the first time I come to such an occasion with you. It's not your first time in a bar too, right?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"No."

Zheng Li can now tell the truth about such detailed issues.

When I was in Brussels and Geneva, I don't know how many times Wiles and Pierre took me to the bar.

Although Zheng Li usually lets the artificial intelligence handle things for him in similar situations, the perception will still be transmitted back to his body synchronously.

In addition, Zheng Li would occasionally drink a little himself, so he was not unfamiliar with places like bars.

If it was the previous Zheng Li, he would definitely say that he had never been here.

But now Zheng Li basically no longer needs to cover up too much about some details.

Li Miaomiao immediately became alert and asked: "When have you been to the bar?
I do not know how? "

Zheng Li: “Occasionally I went there with friends.”

Li Miaomiao knew that asking any more would not yield any results, so she changed the subject: "My father is currently being evaluated for academician status, and he seems very confident this time, and the School of Biology at Jiangnan University is also doing its best to push him up.

There shouldn’t be any big problems.”

Zheng Li was deeply impressed by Li Xulin, not only because he was Li Miaomiao's father, but also because the other party had put in a lot of effort when Zheng Li was interning at Jiangnan University's Biomedical Polymer Laboratory.

Moreover, in the later period of the Biomedical Polymer Laboratory, Li Xulin gave him a lot of freedom and certain R&D resource support.

"Do you need me to talk to the academicians I know and ask them to help your father?"

Li Miaomiao shook her head and said, "No need, it's enough to have Jiang Da pushing me from behind.

And even if you don't say it, the other party will consider your face.

He has passed the primary.

There's no need to say anything.

And even if he doesn’t make the grade, my dad will still have another chance in the future.”

China's election of academicians is held every two years, which has always been criticized by the outside world.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "Okay."

"I remember that Chinese academicians have quite a lot of power."

Li Miaomiao smiled and said, “It’s actually not that bad.

If it is in an ordinary 211 or first-class university, the power of academicians is very great, and it is no exaggeration to say that they can call the wind and rain.

Because such institutions usually have only one academician, they can use the administrative resources of the entire school to achieve their goals.

However, for a university of Jiangnan University's level, there are many academicians, so there are some restrictions on power. In particular, Jiangnan University's School of Biology has several academicians.

Of course, in such institutions, the quality of students will be improved by more than one level, it all depends on how you make the choice.”

The more ordinary the school, the more it relies on academicians. For example, some disadvantaged 211 universities rely on academicians to support them and fight for resources.

Although he has been in China for several years, Zheng Li always feels confused about some phenomena in China, especially social phenomena.

Zheng Li asked, "Where's your sister? What is she doing recently?"

Zheng Li had only heard of Li Shuyao from Li Miaomiao and had never actually met her.

Because even if Li Shuyao went to find Li Miaomiao, she would go to the headquarters building of Ke Chuang Biotechnology in Jinji Lake, and Zheng Li would basically not be there.

Even during meetings, it was others who accommodated Zheng Li, rather than Zheng Li accommodating the executives of Kechuang Bio.

Li Miaomiao replied: "It's still the same, be a fund manager.

She seems to be in a relationship recently, I plan to bring her back to my parents during the Spring Festival."

Li Miaomiao really wanted to add a question: Do you have similar plans?

"pretty good."

Just as the cocktails were served, the two fell into silence.

Li Miaomiao thought about it and felt that today's atmosphere was just right. If she didn't ask, she didn't know when the next opportunity would come. "What do you think of the relationship between us?"

Zheng Li said directly: "You are my best friend."

Zheng Li still had one qualifier that he didn't say: on this planet.

Li Miaomiao then asked: "Will we always be at this point, unable to go any further?
For example, from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend? And then to husband and wife?"

After Li Miaomiao finished speaking, her heartbeat had reached its limit. She looked at Zheng Li with anticipation, thinking that she had tried her best, and if it still didn't work this time.

Zheng Li thought to himself that it was a good thing that artificial intelligence was not used to handle it this time. If artificial intelligence had said some high-sounding clichés, it would probably have backfired.

Zheng Li looked at the other party seriously and said, "I don't think I have that idea.

I don’t need a relationship closer than friendship right now or in the short term.

Can you understand? "

The loss in Li Miaomiao's heart was much lighter than she had imagined. She just sighed slightly, and then the matter that had been hanging in her heart was resolved, and she felt relieved.

"Okay, I understand, I respect your idea."

Zheng Li continued, “It’s not that you are not good, or that you cannot meet my standards.

I’m not considering these issues for now.”

Li Miaomiao raised the goblet in her hand and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about this topic. Cheers!"

Compared with humans, mages have less emotional needs. Zheng Li has been single throughout his thousand years in the Mage Alliance.

Even though they were lovers in their youth, after they embarked on the path of mages, they gradually drifted apart due to their different life classes and had no common topics.

Later, over a period of thousands of years, there were opportunities one after another, but they all ended in failure due to subjective and objective reasons.

Therefore, Zheng Li has never been interested in relationships and even resisted them.

Zheng Li drank a lot with Li Miaomiao that day. Li Miaomiao was the only one talking while Zheng Li listened silently.

"You know, I got an opportunity that ordinary people can hardly imagine. People on the Internet have been commenting that I must have won the 5 million lottery 10,000 times in a row to be able to meet you at a couple's event for a week."

Li Miaomiao holds less than 2% of the shares of Kechuang Biotechnology, with a market value of far more than 50 billion RMB.

Zheng Li has been prosperous for many years, and Kechuang Bio is also the most watched company in China.

The outside world already knows exactly how Li Miaomiao and Zheng Li knew each other.

Therefore, Jiangnan University’s one-week couples event is still one of the hottest events every year, even overshadowing the Golden Autumn Debate.

Everyone wants to meet their own "Zheng Li" through this activity.

Although we all know that the possibility is almost zero.

But after all, there are successful cases before us.

There is even a week-long couples activity organized by the Jiangcheng Student Union every year, with students from Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology, Jiangcheng Normal University, and Jiangcheng Polytechnic University joining in the fun.

So much so that Jiangda has created a special WeChat mini program to match men and women.

Moreover, because Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology has more men than women, and Jiangcheng University has been an old enemy for many years, there has been an internal discussion at Jiangcheng University: students from Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology should be prohibited from participating in Jiangcheng University's one-week couples activities.

"You have given me a lot, including wealth, status, power, vision, etc., which also means that my life is tied to you.

I lost my normal student life and my normal emotional life.

Although in material terms what is lost and what is gained cannot be compared, what is gained is far greater than what is lost.

But from an abstract logical point of view, the life experience lost is the same as the life experience gained. "

"You are good in every way, the only bad thing is that you only spend a small part of your time with me."

Zheng Li listened to Li Miaomiao's story while silently toasting with her.

With an indescribable feeling in his heart, he realized that his human body emotionally affected his soul in turn.

The body and the soul interact and influence each other. If it were his physical body in the Mage Alliance, the words would have just passed by his ears but not remained in his heart.

But inside the human bodies of Blue Star, something was still touched.

After listening to this, Zheng Li said:
"I am selfish and hope everything will be carried out according to my will."

Li Miaomiao interrupted: “I’m not blaming you.

Today I just want to express my inner feelings. After today, I will be a brave man again.

When it comes to love, no one is at fault.

Besides, we haven't even gotten that far.

We are just friends, and by the way, we are also superiors and subordinates at work.

But when I am thirty, you have to give me some of your cells so I can have a test-tube baby." Li Miaomiao was also drunk and was communicating with consciousness.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "No problem. I will definitely give you a perfect cell through gene editing."

Li Miaomiao was completely speechless: "Drink!"

We are not on the same channel at all.

The phone rang. Li Miaomiao picked up the phone and answered it: "Hello, how are you? Who is this?"

Li Shuyao's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm your sister, come and open the door for me!"

Li Miaomiao glanced at her cell phone, which had several missed calls. It was already twelve noon the next day.

She looked around and saw that she was in her own home without changing her clothes. She felt disappointed instead of happy.

She got drunk yesterday, but Zheng Li was fine. He even asked the security personnel who were responsible for their safety to send Li Miaomiao home.

"Sorry, sorry, I drank a little too much yesterday and just woke up." Li Miaomiao said embarrassedly after seeing Li Shuyao.

Li Shuyao returned to Gusu from Shenhai. She was originally going to pick someone up at the high-speed railway station.

Li Shuyao waved her hand, "A smell of alcohol."

"Did you go drinking with Zheng Li yesterday?"

Li Miaomiao nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Shuyao asked, "Then they got drunk and went back to their own homes?"

Li Miaomiao: "I don't remember. I was drunk anyway. I don't know if Zheng Li was drunk or not."

Li Shuyao said helplessly: “Well, with this atmosphere, this environment, and both of you drinking so much, at least you are drunk.

They all went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.

This is something I never expected.

Zheng Li is truly a gentleman. "

Li Miaomiao went to the bathroom and said while washing up: “Don’t mention it.

I have taken the initiative this time, and we are just friends."

After hearing this, Li Shuyao immediately pricked up her ears and asked hurriedly, "Come on, come on, what did you say, and how did Zheng Li answer?"

If it weren’t for her being Li Miaomiao’s sister, she would never have heard this level of gossip.

After Li Miaomiao finished speaking, Li Shuyao laughed and said, "It seems that I was right, hahaha."

"Okay, stop gloating."
