Chapter 794 - 622 I’m Just That Strong_2
```
"No, my favorite thing is people asking me questions." Ai Lin pushed away Prince St. Antonio and then looked at the old mage, "Go ahead, ask your question." Ai Lin really spoke like a teacher.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The old mage was trembling with anger; his mind was rapidly flashing through a pile of currently unsolved problems, but eventually, he chose a question that had already been answered. This question had just found a solution half a month ago and had been rewarded by the Emperor.
"Miss Ai Lin, can you explain how the basic magic particles oscillate in space..."
"Ah? You’re still researching this issue?" Ai Lin exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise. This wasn’t feigned but genuine amazement. Although Ai Lin hadn’t heard the entire question, there could only be one issue that would be asked in such a manner. In the White Dragon Empire, that was content from the entry-level curriculum for mages! Schools no longer taught it! It was something to be self-studied at home!
"Say it! What question are you going to ask me?"
The old mage was infuriated; being one of the main responsible persons for the magic research institute, and to be mocked in this way. He really wanted to see how she would answer his question!
Not just him, the researchers around him all had smirks on their faces, apparently prepared for all kinds of mockery.
"Aren’t you asking about the basic formula for the mutual resonance of magic particles in space caused by the oscillation of basic magic particles?" asked Ai Lin.
The old mage was stunned, and all the researchers around him were stunned as well.
Indeed, Ai Lin’s answer was not a single word off.
You must know that most mages, let alone speaking it, probably hadn’t even heard several of the specialized terms in the middle!
"What is the formula?" the old mage coughed lightly, covering up his embarrassment, and then asked.
Ai Lin pulled over paper and pen and wrote out a long string of symbols.
Right then, the old mage’s eyes trembled.
Indeed! It was that formula!
No! It was slightly different! This formula was streamlined! It was neater than the one they had obtained, and more efficient!
The people around saw the old mage’s stunned reaction, which clearly wasn’t the way one would react to a wrong formula.
Another old mage came over, nudging his colleague with an elbow, "How is it?"
Then a clipboard was handed over, and upon looking at it, he was also dumbfounded.
"How can this be! The formula could still be streamlined!"
Immediately, a group of researchers crowded around, marveling at this new formula. The magic cast with this formula had the same power, but the casting speed had increased by ten percent!
Don’t underestimate this ten percent; it meant one could attack one more round for every ten!
"Don’t rush, after all, we have worked out the formula ourselves; maybe someone has secretly streamlined it to deliberately provoke us, let’s test her again!" another old mage spoke up.
The mage responsible for the accompaniment came back to his senses, "You got this one right, now let’s see how you solve this problem!"
With that, the old mage actually took a whiteboard from the nearby experiment station, which was filled with runes, but still had one-third empty.
"Why are you always researching these obsolete topics?"
Looking at the array, Ai Lin lifted her hand, and instantly an identical array appeared in her palm, complete with all the runes filled in.
"A mana Focusing Array, so simple."
Assembling arrays was not Ai Lin’s forte, but it was her instinctive talent. As long as Ai Lin activated the unfinished array, the gift lurking within her body would automatically complete the entire array.
Ai Lin showed it to them for a moment and then immediately dispersed the array.
But everyone knew that Ai Lin must have succeeded, because a failed array simply wouldn’t appear!
"Please wait! Let me write it down!"
An researcher shouted aloud.
```
"Are you joking?"
Ai Lin laughed.
"This is my Array, my achievement. I’m not a kind-hearted Giant, why should I record it for you?"
With that remark, everyone was dumbfounded.
Then, as Ai Lin passed by each research project, she would point things out, obviously knowing how to solve those problems.
But she simply wouldn’t say!
In the end, after making a full round, Ai Lin was thoroughly pleased with herself.
"Ah, what a delight! Let’s go!"
As Ai Lin spoke, she turned and left abruptly, not even giving the others a chance to ask her to stay.
The Crown Prince could only give all the researchers an apologetic look as he left the research institute under the watchful eyes that seemed ready to spew fire.
This incident took place in the afternoon.
That very evening, the head of the Magic Research Institute went straight to the Imperial Palace to meet with the Emperor.
The Emperor was very surprised when he heard about this, as it meant Ai Lin’s value to the entire Divine Auffa Empire was completely altered.
The former Ai Lin was just a Sanctuary Mage, which is akin to someone who knows how to throw a bomb.
But now, Ai Lin had become someone who knows how to make a bomb.
Just throwing, throwing accurately, as long as they are trained, there are always a few of those. And even if there aren’t, those ordinary people can make do.
But the person who knows how to make bombs is crucial.
That very night, the Emperor’s secret decree was sent to the three Princes who were pursuing Ai Lin.
Among them, no matter who, they must win Ai Lin over!
The Emperor’s command directly pushed the pursuit of Ai Lin into fierce and open competition. Clearly, the three Princes understood the Emperor’s valuation of Ai Lin, and obviously, this importance would also transfer to the one who could successfully court Ai Lin in the future.
And now, Ai Lin had yet to respond to any of the Princes. This meant that for everyone, the chances were equal.
But what kind of person does Ai Lin really like?
One day, a maid serving Ai Lin seemed to ask casually.
"Me?" Ai Lin thought carefully, "I like powerful people; they should be taller than me; willing to help others; and also very smart!"
Ai Lin had completely overlaid the image of Long Yi in her answer.
Then, this remark reached the ears of the three Princes.
"Powerful?" Second Prince Saint Julio laughed.
"Willing to help others?" First Prince Saint Cassio laughed.
"Very smart?" Third Prince Saint Antonio laughed.
But...
Tall...
Ai Lin was tall and she also liked to wear high heels; the three Princes weren’t short, but it was difficult to say if they were much taller than Ai Lin.
"Shouldn’t be a problem, right?" the three Princes felt uncertain in their hearts. (To be continued.
