Normally, as an orphan who wasn't adopted, Bai Dongdong shouldn't have been registered as a resident of Beijing. However, after completing calculus at age sixteen and helping the orphanage director's daughter with a set of advanced math problems, Bai Dongdong became a prodigy at Mentougou Junior High School, was discovered by colleges, and gradually embarked on her own path to prodigy status.

It went smoothly, right?

A perfect math genius script, right?

What if we add Zhou Li?

"I'm fucked, why are you here!!!"

Zhou Li was grabbed by the collar but didn't resist at all. Instead, he said in horror: "Aren't you renovating your new house?"

"I'm! Damn! Worried! About! You!"

Gritting his teeth, Bai Dongdong angrily shouted, "I sent you WeChat messages but you didn't reply, you didn't answer the phone, you weren't online in the game, and no one answered when I knocked on the door! I thought you had a heart attack and died! Who the hell knew you were traveling through time by drawing a magic circle at home! Guess how I traveled through time?! I got run over by a truck repeatedly and you're satisfied?!"

Zhou Li was embarrassed.

OK, he knew what was going on.

In the orphanage, the white-haired Bai Dongdong is always isolated by the other children and is mocked by them as the White-haired Witch. Only Zhou Li, who has seen colorful hair in another world, doesn't care about this and becomes a true friend of Bai Dongdong.

These two had been inseparable since they were nine years old. Throughout elementary school, middle school, and high school, they were practically inseparable, yet few people considered them to be in an incestuous relationship. Even if they were, no teacher or dean would dare to speak to them.

What? You want to find our parents?

Now you either get killed by a truck or you find a truck to kill you.

You want us both to drop out of school?

Then you have to consider the consequences of losing a student who won a gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad and also a sports student who ran the 10 meters in under seconds. Guess whether your parents will be called out by the school principal and beaten.

And so, childhood sweethearts Zhou Li and Bai Dongdong worked hand in hand, earning admission to the most prestigious university. One became a renowned athlete known for his cheating skills, boasting the phrase "this is how numbers are written." The other, a white-haired math geek, won every math award imaginable with a stern expression.

then.

Zhou Li went home.

"No, that's not right!"

Zhou Li, whose neck was being pinched, said in disbelief, "I've already traveled through time, how did you follow me? Shouldn't the magic circle destroy itself?"

After they achieved success, they became neighbors in the same residential complex. After celebrating their 26th birthday together, Zhou Li's mother finally found traces of him in the turbulent space and followed him to Earth.

Bai Dongdong was surprised to see Zhou Li suddenly have a mother, but Zhou Li's reaction didn't seem like a fake mother. But one day a few months later, Bai Dongdong, who was about to play Overwatch with Zhou Li after get off work as usual, returned home and called Zhou Li.

I did not answer.

Send a WeChat message.

No reply.

Knock on the door.

no one.

Then, Bai Dongdong anxiously took out the key and opened Zhou Li's door. In front of her, besides a letter and a bank card, there was only an extremely mysterious magic circle.

The content of the letter was simple. Zhou Li explained his situation, but didn't mention time travel. He simply said he and his mother had returned to their hometown and wouldn't be back anytime soon. He had a bank card with all his savings, and asked Bai Dongdong to keep it for him, or even spend it.

"You mean, you, someone without any magical powers and never learned any magical knowledge, simply treated the magic circle as a geometry problem and solved it?!"

Zhou Li's face was filled with a look of astonishment. He said in disbelief, "And then you traveled through time with us?"

magic.

The moment he saw the magic circle, these two words appeared in Bai Dongdong's mind.

As a mathematical genius, or even a mathematical god, Bai Dongdong immediately realized upon seeing the magic circle that it was a mathematical formula, a geometric formula. However, the calculation complexity of this formula far exceeded that of modern mathematics, and the mathematical problems contained in geometry also had many unknowns.

It's hard.

Fortunately, the magic circle had just finished operating, and some traces were still contained within it. To unlock the magic circle, Bai Dongdong moved into Zhou Li's house and studied this nearly perfect geometry problem day and night.

Then she untied it.

"The magic of this world is essentially mathematics."

In Zhou Li's dormitory, Bai Dongdong sat on his bed and said calmly, "The essence of casting magic is to fill in the elemental variables into the magic formula to obtain the perfect conclusion. In fact, it is to fit the surrounding numbers into a fixed mathematical formula, and at the same time balance the various data so that the formula can produce a perfect conclusion."

"The geometry left by Aunt Li Yiyi is also a unique kind of mathematics. I just need to break it down and find the respective mathematical formulas, decipher their directions to draw conclusions, and then fill them in with the redundant materials you left behind."

With a light clap of his hands and a spread of his hands, Bai Dongdong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's solved."

Li Yiyi is Zhou Li’s mother’s alias on Earth, and the magic circle was also left by her to be used to return to the Kingdom of Golden Classic.

Zhou Li couldn't imagine that someone who had never been exposed to magic could actually break the magic circle that shuttled between the two worlds and cross over with it just by relying on mathematical talent. No matter who said this, Zhou Li would think it was a fairy tale.

But Bai Dongdong appeared in front of him at this time, sat on his bed, skillfully took out a pack of biscuits from the cabinet and started eating.

"Oh no."

Zhou Li suddenly realized, "Didn't you come here on your own? Why are you blaming me?"

"Who knew that what you left behind was a magic circle for traveling through time?"

Bai Dongdong said angrily, "I thought you were controlled by some evil cult, so I wanted to see if I could rescue you. Who knew that once the magic circle was activated, it couldn't be stopped, and I traveled through time with you."

"Correction."

Zhou Li sighed and said, "I am an aboriginal."

"I know."

Bai Dongdong jumped off Zhou Li's bed, patted Zhou Li's shoulder, and said earnestly, "So, now I am the time traveler, you must protect my secret."

"How long have you been here?"

Handing Bai Dongdong a cup of hot tea, Zhou Li asked curiously.

"Twenty-six years."

Bai Dongdong pointed at herself and said, "I'm twenty-six years old now."

Chapter 116 Adventure

Zhou Li's emotions were complicated.

On the one hand, seeing his best friend in this world, a friend with whom he had practiced combined attack techniques, naturally made Zhou Li extremely happy. Furthermore, Bai Dongdong was a genius who could connect with him, the kind of person who could hold onto a single, cheesy joke from him for a whole day, which made Zhou Li very happy.

But here's the thing.

"Twenty-six years, how did you live?"

Zhou Li asked worriedly.

"There's something wrong with your magic circle."

Shaking his head, Bai Dongdong leaned on the table, holding a teacup, and said, "To be precise, the magic circle left by Aunt Li Yiyi has an encryption ring to prevent outsiders from entering the magic circle. It may be because you and I are always hanging out together, and I probably have traces of you on me, so I can use the magic circle."

"But I didn't completely avoid the encryption ring after all. I guess I was afraid someone would accidentally enter the other side of the magic circle, so I deviated from the original path during the process of crossing."

Pointing at Zhou Li, Bai Dongdong said with a smile: "So, I didn't appear in the same place as you, at least I didn't come to the Kingdom of Jindian."

Bai Dongdong's journey through time wasn't disastrous, but it certainly wasn't great. Within the dimensional gap, Bai Dongdong's body regressed to that of a three-year-old, but her intelligence remained at its peak. This caused her to feel drowsy during the initial period of her journey, her body unable to keep up with the demands of her brain.

"I later learned that my first stop after traveling through time was an enclave of the Kingdom of Truth. However, the people in the Kingdom of Truth failed to detect my magic power, and since I was groggy and unable to speak, they thought I was a moron and dumped me in an orphanage. That's how I scored twice."

Sighing, Bai Dongdong continued, "When I was five, my health finally stabilized, and I was taken to learn mining. Luckily, while I was there, I met a magician. She was impressed by my mathematical ability and took me in as her assistant to help her calculate formulas. While helping her calculate formulas, I secretly learned some magic, and the following year, I passed the exam to become a senior magician."

"No, wait a minute."

Zhou Li extended his hand and said calmly, "No, what the hell? You passed the exam to become a senior magician in the second year? This plot development is not right, buddy."

The magician's rank classification is different from that of spiritual professions. Their ranks are more like a degree, namely [Magic Apprentice, Junior Magician, Intermediate Magician, Senior Magician, Bachelor of Magic, Doctor of Magic, Grandmaster of Magic...]

Bai Dongdong became a senior magician when she was seven years old, just like a child who was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University at the age of seven.

Open your brain, buddy, and see if you are human.

"What? You thought it was a standard [stealing skills discovered] [love-hate relationship] [jealous teacher and genius student] [you can't surpass your teacher] plot development?"

Raising an eyebrow, Bai Dongdong chuckled, "Magicians are different from spiritual professionals. A magical genius can be a powerful driving force for the entire industry. My first master was able to discover a talent like me, and the reward the Magic Association gave her was far more substantial than keeping me as her assistant."

"Later, when I was twelve, I joined the School of Truth."

He skillfully pulled out a few books from under Zhou Li's bed, glanced at the contents, and then threw them back in boredom. His gaze fell on Zhou Li, who was standing beside him. Bai Dongdong reached out and poked his chest, gritting his teeth and saying, "Then, I spent four years reconstructing the magic circle, but in the end, I found nothing. Later, I realized that only Aunt Li Yiyi could do it. Even I couldn't do it."

"What about the remaining ten years?"

Zhou Li asked curiously.

"Nonsense, of course I'm looking for you."

Bai Dongdong said angrily, "I accumulated school points and bought every directory on the continent. It took me four years just to search for your name. I finally found someone with your name, but he died of a ruptured hemorrhoid years ago. It scared me to death."

Zhou Li's smile broke a little.

"Later, I bought the academy system of the Golden Kingdom and searched for a long time before I found your name."

Sighing, Bai Dongdong said with some embarrassment, "Also, why is your school so far behind? Even the scores for kindergarten schools are higher than Victoria's! I thought you went to the best institution like on Earth. I almost searched every good school and still couldn't find you!"

"Private Marseille bro."

Zhou Li smiled awkwardly. He had no choice since Victoria was the only academy that had a major in Spirit Contract Master.

"What about you?"

Lifting his head, Bai Dongdong looked at Zhou Li and teased, "The second young master of the Zhou family who died of a ruptured hemorrhoid?"

Zhou Li's smile completely collapsed.

"Don't mention this."

He covered his face in pain and said, "Please."

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore."

Bai Dongdong kicked Zhou Li's calf and asked, "You've been hiding this from me for over twenty years, Second Young Master of the Zhou Family."

"You wouldn't have believed me if I told you then."

Zhou Li said helplessly, "Your rational thinking can almost analyze the breathing patterns of a round-headed old man. Can you believe me when I say I'm a time traveler?"

"Why don't you believe it?"

Bai Dongdong looked at Zhou Li and asked seriously, "Why do you think my rationality wouldn't trust you?"
