"Uh" Lily smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the other party's sudden question.
"Did you sneak in?" Lily's eyes flashed with panic when she heard the girl's words.
Maya immediately noticed Lily's panic, and she thought to herself that it was just as she thought.
"Don't worry, I won't report you to the guards. You're not the first curious person like you. You always want to know what's inside. In fact, it's like this. As long as you don't get in the way, you can read the books here at any time."
Lily breathed a sigh of relief. She whispered again, "Thank you. The reason I came here is to see if I am suitable for this place."
Because of what they were saying, they felt some dissatisfied looks coming from all around, so the girl with glasses pulled Lily outside.
Under her guidance, Lily was pulled to the circular garden in the middle of the building, sat down on a horizontal chair and began to introduce herself, "My name is Maya, I'm from Tianshui Island, what's your name?"
"My name is Lily. I used to be from Coral Island, but now I live in Hope Island."
Maya looked at Lily's round ears and knew that she must not have lived on the coral island for long. People on the coral island all have inward-concave ears.
"Hello, Lily, what do you plan to focus on after you come in?"
Lily smiled awkwardly again. She thought her mother was probably wrong. The people here always spoke in a way that was difficult to understand. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to find any new friends if she really came in.
"I didn't expect it, but I'm not in a hurry. I'll think about it slowly. Many people are hesitating."
Lily recalled her current troubles and asked Maya in front of her: "Um, do you plan to be a teacher here in the future?"
Maya shook her head, a hint of excitement in her eyes. "No, I want to join the Relic Research Institute. I heard that they have a lot of profound knowledge hidden there, and they are organizing the smartest people to dig it out. I want to be one of them."
Lily understood this. The knowledge should have been given by the foundation. In order to save the island from being submerged by the sea, Mr. Charles made a deal with them.
"That's great. You've already thought about what you want to do in the future." Lily said with envy.
"Why, do you say that? Haven't you ever thought about what you would do in the future?"
Hearing the other party's question, Lily told her her situation again, but of course she changed some details.
"In that case, I suggest you study first. Studying can help us understand the principles of dealing with people, master the methods of handling things, and solve problems more quickly and conveniently."
"Learning can also make us stronger. The development of mankind to this day is the result of the continuous efforts of generations. Through learning, we can master the precious wealth left by our predecessors and gain a better foothold in this ocean."
Maya glanced at Lily and said, "It's not just about learning knowledge, it's also about broadening our horizons and maturing our minds. If we don't learn, we may look at things in a one-sided way, and we may jump to conclusions too early when solving problems, thus missing out on opportunities."
From the moment they met, Maya felt that Lily's personality was a little strange and didn't match her appearance at all.
She gave her the feeling of being a little child, the kind of child who was very well protected by her parents.
If she hadn't known that the Governor had no offspring, she would have even thought that the person in front of her was the Governor's daughter.
“When you gain a certain amount of knowledge, you will find out what you really want to do. Once you have a desire, you will work hard for it.”
Lily finally understood what the other party said. She thought about it carefully and nodded, "Thank you, I've decided. I'll come here too."
Since I don’t know what I want to do, maybe knowledge can help me.
"It's not that easy. The threshold to get in here is very high. You must have a very high talent. Are you sure you can get in?"
Maya showed a hint of envy in her eyes. If people are just different, then her guess was right. Even if Lily was not the daughter of the governor, she must be the child of a powerful person on Hope Island.
It's not easy to get a letter of recommendation here. You know, it's not just the local island that's competing. People from Tianshui Island, Ancha Island, and anywhere else will also be admitted as long as they are talented enough.
Everyone knows that as long as you come out of here, the salary will definitely not be low, there is a lot of room for advancement, and the competition is very fierce.
"Maya, thank you for answering so many questions for me."
Maya shook her head to indicate that it was nothing. "Since you really want to come, let me take you to visit the environment of this university. Look across the street, those blue-painted houses are all laboratory buildings."
Since we know that the other party has a powerful background, the best way to deal with it at the moment is of course to make friends with him as much as possible.
Lily followed the other party and started to walk around the university. During this time, she went to the cafeteria to have lunch under Maya's guidance.
The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and they have turned from strangers into friends.
When Lily came to her senses after figuring out the entire layout of the university, she found that it was already afternoon.
"Maya, goodbye, I'm going to pick up my sister from school." Lily hurried towards the gate.
Just as she was about to walk out the door, an extremely sexy beauty under the tree next to her caught her attention.
She sat quietly on the chair, looking at a green leaf in her hand. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.
Someone like her should be the focus of everyone's attention wherever she is, but no one, whether the guards at the door or the students walking past her, even looked at her.
"Shanshan?" Lily asked uncertainly, looking at the green cross pupils in the woman's eyes.
The woman raised her jade-white right hand and waved gently towards her.
"Do you know me? Shanshan here shouldn't know me." Lily asked doubtfully.
"Don't be nervous, I'm Shining from that dimension." The woman's words made Lily feel extremely familiar.
"Really? That's great! How's everyone over there? Can you bring some letters to everyone for me?"
Shanshan looked at Lily helplessly, "Aren't you curious about why I'm here?"
"Why? Are you here to see me? Do you want my help?"
"I was thinking about it. Mother did say that you have great potential and could be of great help if used properly. But father disagreed and said he didn't want you to get involved. In that case, forget it."
"Mr. Charles" Lily's expression was extremely complicated.
"The reason I'm here is because my father is here too, and I just came here to have some fun."
The huge bloody island flashed through Lily's mind, and her heart suddenly tightened. "Mr. Charles is here too?! What is he doing here?"
