Chapter 28
Inside the base, Li Hao stood in an open space with a steel plate in front of him. They wanted to see if he could experiment with his magic here.
Li Hao tried to cast a spell, but it felt like he couldn't trigger the power button. Just as Li Hao was about to say he couldn't do it, the mark that was supposed to trigger the magic power instead awakened the infusion of another power.
Li Hao knew this power wasn't magical, and she didn't know what it was. But the already activated mark didn't wait for her to react, striking the opposite steel plate with a dull thud.
A large groove appeared on the thick steel plate. This power wasn't as strong as in the magical world, but it was still quite powerful. Here, Li Hao was a walking weapon.
The staff nearby quickly asked her how she felt.
"It doesn't seem to be a magical element, but some kind of power here. I can't tell you what it is specifically." Li Hao replied.
She had just tested her mental strength, but there was no change. She could even lift a dumbbell weighing at least 100 kilograms.
"Thank you." The staff member put away the recording tablet.
After Li Hao left here, he went to find Director Luo to discuss the next plan.
"Li Hao, you're here. Please sit here." Director Luo asked Li Hao to sit in the middle, while he sat next to them.
Li Hao was a little surprised that he was sitting in the main seat, but he didn't say anything and just sat down.
The next part of the meeting was a report from the base. The herbal seedlings she had brought back were already in place, and the mature herbs had been processed through technological means, undergoing the two steps of extraction and integration.
However, Zhang Leiyu, who had successfully activated his spiritual power in the base, had already tried the step of infusing magic.
I told Li Hao about the progress of various research projects in the base, the elements extracted from the total potion, etc.
At the meeting, Li Hao was briefed on the base's situation and the progress of various experiments, which gave her a strong sense of involvement. After explaining the two months' work, the planning for the third time travel began. During this time, Director Luo occasionally pointed to Li Hao, asking her to make decisions.
After the meeting, Li Hao was about to walk out when Director Luo stopped him.
"Li Hao, wait a minute, someone wants to see you."
Li Hao was rather puzzled, but he still followed Director Luo to his conference room. Soon, the door opened.
When he saw who was coming, Li Hao immediately stood up. "Hello, Grandpa Yuan."
"You must be Li Hao, a good girl." The white-haired old man walked in, took Li Hao's hand and sat down. "Thank you for saving my life."
Li Hao didn't expect that this respectable old man would come to thank him specially.
Director Luo specially gave a bottle of the medicine she brought back to the respected Grandpa Yuan.
He was old, and the underlying illnesses from his youth were beyond the reach of current medical treatment. However, Li Hao's medicine could perfectly cure all kinds of hidden ailments in his body.
"I've tried my best to distribute the latest medicine I brought back to some important people. They've all made significant contributions to our country," Director Luo said to Li Hao. "He's demanding to meet his benefactor and personally thank you."
"Yeah." Li Hao's chest now felt warm.
"By the way, when you come back this time, go for a walk outside and have a good rest. If there is any place you want to go out and play, you can go there." Director Luo said.
"Aren't there still a lot of things to do at the base?" Li Hao asked in confusion. Those scientists seemed to be eager to rely on her for research every second.
"This won't happen overnight. You'll only be back for two weeks. Even if you become a mage in that world, you won't be able to relax. You'll be there for two months. Even if you're working, you need a long vacation to relax." Director Luo gently patted Li Hao's shoulder. "At least go home and see your parents."
Li Hao remained silent and did not refuse Director Luo's arrangement.
The next morning, a military plane was ready. Li Hao was not alone. She was accompanied by a girl who was responsible for her safety.
Although Li Hao already has "superpowers", she still brings this person along at Director Luo's request.
"Just treat them as your assistants. Feel free to ask for anything you want. We haven't paid you for your contribution to the country yet."
Li Hao was no longer so defensive towards Director Luo. She could sense his sincerity. Many of his actions were designed to benefit her as much as possible.
Li Hao's first stop was naturally home. The girl following her was very self-conscious and didn't ask to follow her into the house. After all, when the family reunites, an outsider would make the atmosphere awkward.
"I just live nearby." Li Hao's parents naturally have someone to protect them. Wu Xin has a lot of information about Li Hao, which is also to better protect Li Hao.
When Li Hao got home, he first acted like a spoiled brat with his parents, then enjoyed the meal and lay on the sofa with them to watch TV.
Li Hao enjoyed this ordinary little happiness very much.
But soon, Li Hao, who was watching TV with his parents, received a call.
"Hello, Li Hao? Is that you?"
"It's me."
"I finally got through to you. Your calls have been answered by someone else for the past few days." The person on the other end of the line clearly wanted to talk to her about something. "I'm He Hua, the monitor of Class 153. Do you remember me?"
"It's you, Squad Leader He." Li Hao remembered immediately. "What's the matter?"
"Okay, I was going to give you one last call today, and luckily I got through. Tomorrow we're having our five-year reunion. We all went to different schools, but this year a lot of us are in H City, so we wanted to get together. Do you have time tomorrow?" Wang Hua asked. She had been meaning to let Li Hao know for a few days.
"Tomorrow? That should be possible. Where?" Li Hao thought about it and thought that chatting with old friends would be a very relaxing thing.
"At XX Hotel, at 12 o'clock, be there on time."
"Can I bring someone?"
"Sure, can you bring your family? I'll reserve an extra seat. Come on over."
After Li Hao agreed, he notified Wu Xin, who immediately replied, "Okay, I'll prepare the car."
At the entrance of the XX Hotel, Li Hao got out of a plain Volkswagen. The driver was none other than Wu Xin. After she parked the car, she followed Li Hao inside. In fact, besides Wu Xin, who was in the open, there were quite a few other people working in the dark. The private room next door to the hotel they were visiting today had already been reserved.
As soon as she entered the private room, she saw a few familiar faces. They were all good friends from high school. Apparently, they recognized Li Hao and waved at her.
After Li Hao sat down, Wu Xin sat next to her.
"Hello Li, long time no see. You are still so beautiful."
"Hey, you're not bad either. You've kept yourself in great shape! Oh, and this is my friend. He just happened to come over to play."
The three girls chatted, talking about their college life and some interesting things that happened after they separated.
But the atmosphere was soon ruined because a very important person walked in, and the boy she was holding made the atmosphere even weirder.
"Did you and him break up in college?" a friend whispered in her ear.
"Yes, he even wanted me to apply to the same school as him. My score is 50 points higher than his. How could I possibly apply to the same school with him?" Li Hao's face was full of disgust when he mentioned this matter. "I didn't expect that he would be with her."
Speaking of this girl, Jia Linglin, she was the girl they hated the most. During her three years of high school, during the first semester of her freshman year, Li Hao had a hard time. She didn't know what was going on, but she was rejected by the girls. It was only later that she found out that it was Jia Linglin who had been saying bad things about her behind her back, saying that she was a gangster who was always fooling around outside of school, and she made up a lot of outrageous rumors.
Li Hao was no pushover. After finding the teacher, he confronted Jia Linglin directly. Only then did he wash off the dirty water that had been splashed on him. After becoming friends with other girls, Jia Linglin continued to do many things against Li Hao.
Especially when she was living in the dormitory during her senior year, it had nothing to do with Li Hao. Jia Linglin was found to be doing something dirty by her roommate and was asked to move out of the dormitory.
In short, when a few people are chatting about Jia Linglin, as long as they say "that person", everyone will know who she is.
Li Hao's boyfriend, Lei Xiaolong, was the class's most handsome boy. He was a bright and healthy athlete with a knack for athletics. They had a good relationship, but when the scores came out, he actually wanted Li Hao to apply to the same school. Li Hao wasn't a love-obsessed person. She thought, with such a huge difference in scores, why would she go to the same school? So, they broke up.
You know, Lei Xiaolong was with her back then and heard a lot about Jia Linglin. Now these two people are together.
This made Li Hao, who was still immersed in the memories of his youth, feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
The two men glanced at the entire audience and walked directly towards Li Hao.
"Isn't this Li Hao? I heard you're a female anchor now." Jia Linglin said directly to Li Hao, and she even emphasized the word "female anchor".
It seems like being a female anchor is a shameful profession.
"What? Did you see my video?" Li Hao said casually. She didn't think there was anything shameful about the female anchor. She loved playing games, and being able to gain fans and make money from playing games was pretty good.
"What's the use of that 985 university you attended? You ended up becoming an anchor. For some people, it's a waste to go to a good university." When Lei Xiaolong talked about 985, there were complicated emotions in his words. He naturally liked Li Hao, who was the class beauty in high school.
But unfortunately, she didn't want to go to the same school as me. Now it seems that there is no point for her to go to that school, she just became a broadcaster.
"It's good to be an anchor. Anchors make a lot of money. I play games and make money easily every day. Some people are so jealous." Li Hao realized that these two people were just looking for trouble.
"Hehe, just a host, how great do you think you can be..." Jia Linglin wanted to say something but was interrupted by the squad leader who walked in.
"Okay, everyone is here, hurry up and take a seat, I'll go and get the food ready."
