Chapter 15 Professor
Li Ang felt that Nicole's emotions were quite stable.
In no time, she regained her previous lively demeanor and even asked curiously, "Li Ang, why do you think the GG card fell at just the right moment and smashed that bastard Isaac in two?"
"How would I know?" Li Ang shook his head. "Perhaps it's been in disrepair for years?"
"Yeah. But thank you so much for helping me out of that crisis. Let me treat you to dinner."
"Huh? Oh."
Li Ang responded, but in his heart he was thinking that the [Thunder Slash] he had unleashed at full power was quite good in terms of attack power alone. With just one shot, he successfully severed the connection between the GG card and the building, both by canceling and attacking.
However, the casting angle of [Thunder Slash] was not well controlled; normally, the GG card should not have hit Nicole.
If I have the chance to go to Ioria, I need to practice my magic more!
In addition...
After this spell, he can cast two more auxiliary spells, or one more [Thunder Slash]...
That should be enough.
As for whether the punishment for the white man was too harsh.
Li Ang felt it was alright.
If he had followed his old ways of dealing with people when he was studying in China, he would have called the police immediately if he encountered a thug on the street.
Taking action? Not a chance!
But things are different now. Seeing Nicole, who had helped him before, in danger, Li Ang's first thought was how to get rid of her quietly.
Li Ang knew that this was influenced by his experiences in Ioria. Faced with the witch hunters who were always following him, he would rather take action than waste words.
But at the same time, Li Ang also understood that after he acquired magic, he naturally had murderous intent.
Various forms of magic have become a part of his life, and he always subconsciously wants to use them.
Despite Li Ang constantly reminding himself that this is America, a modern society in the 60s, where he mainly studies science so that he can transform it into magic in Ioria and ultimately become a legendary mage.
But just now, Li Ang wanted to unleash the [Thunder Slash], wanting to make those who did evil suffer the consequences.
The most crucial thing...
This era has no cell phones and no surveillance equipment.
By doing this, he felt safe enough.
Thinking this through, Li Ang, carrying a large stack of books, accompanied Nicole back to her apartment.
Looking around, Kennedy's campaign posters were still there, but the Life magazine poster had been replaced with one featuring a different white woman.
Li Ang sat on the sofa where he had first transmigrated, flipping through a book he had just bought from a bookstore: Algebraic Geometry.
The algebraic geometry of this era seems to have not yet undergone the reforms of the mathematical pope Alexander Grothendieck, and differs considerably from the algebraic geometry that Li Ang encountered later.
But it was precisely this gap that Li Ang found fascinating.

On the other side, Nicole, dressed in a light blue casual dress and apron, was cooking in front of the stove.
The kitchen smelled of food. Nicole washed several ripe tomatoes, chopped them into small pieces, and threw them into a steaming pot.
She chopped a yellow onion and a small carrot, threw them in, added water and a little salt, and made tomato soup.
There were steamed potatoes next to her. Nicole carefully mashed them with a fork, then poured in half a cup of milk and a large pat of butter to make mashed potatoes.
The oven was on, baking golden-brown chicken drumsticks.
A moment later, Nicole brought out several dishes, plated them, and said with a smile, "Li Ang, stop looking at math and eat."
"oh."
"Let me introduce you to this: tomato soup, creamy mashed potatoes, buttered peas, and herb-roasted chicken with gravy. I'm usually too lazy to cook this much when I'm eating alone. I made this big meal to thank you for helping me twice. Give it a try!"
Li Ang picked up the spoon, blew on it, then took a sip of the tomato soup, savored it, and nodded, saying, "It tastes good."
Nicole laughed and said, "Of course, by the way, this might be a bit disgusting to say, but I still have to explain. Isaac was originally a student at Northwestern University. By chance, he attended a lecture organized by a professor, and that's how he met me. After that, he would come over and act crazy from time to time."
At this point, Nicole glanced at Li Ang and continued, "Of course, I've never paid him any attention. To be honest, while he's not a great guy, he wouldn't be this crazy as he was today. He's a devout Christian; he was just high on drugs. These enhancement drugs are really harmful. Li Ang, you're not using enhancement drugs, are you?"
Li Ang shook his head and said seriously, "I am mortal with gambling and drugs."
"Huh?" Nicole was a little confused as to why Li Ang would put those two English words together.
Nicole was happy to learn that Li Ang did not use any enhancers.
"Hmm..." Li Ang took the initiative to ask, "So, the actual person in charge of the Danube Clinic is Professor Kayla Nolan, who is also your... aunt? You studied medicine under her while also learning mathematics?"
How did you know?
Nicole was a little confused; she didn't remember her saying anything about it.
"Have you forgotten what Officer Russell just said? If it weren't for Professor Keira Nolan, we'd still be at the police station right now, not having a leisurely meal."
"Oh, is that so? It seems that the fat police officer really did say that." Nicole recalled.
"So, your parents aren't usually in Chicago, and you're living and studying with Professor Kayla Nolan?"
Nicole's smile gradually froze, and her voice became lower, tinged with a hint of nostalgia, "My mom and dad both died in an accident."
"Feel sorry."
Li Ang felt bad, and at the same time, he missed his relatives in China, including his deceased wife, Count Aldrin's mother, from Aioria.
After a moment of silence, Nicole quickly composed herself and said, "Li Ang, wait a moment, I'll get you some ice cream, vanilla flavor with apple chips, would you like some?"
"Of course, thank you."
I must say, Nicole's cooking skills are truly amazing.
Even someone like Li Ang, who doesn't like Western food, thought the various dishes she made were quite delicious.
"Oh, right, there's a bottle of vintage tequila in the cabinet. Li Ang, should I cut some lemons so we can dip it in salt and drink it?"
Nicole's last sentence was vague, and Li Ang was thinking about how to answer when the doorbell rang.
Nicole ran to open the door.
Then a woman who looked to be only in her early twenties, but was actually in her thirties, walked to the door.
When Li Ang first saw her, he thought she was some Hollywood star, but upon closer inspection, he realized she was some famous scholar.
She's beautiful, refined, and, importantly, bears a resemblance to Nicole Kidman in her features.
Kayla Nolan?
Li Ang made a silent judgment in his mind.
Kayla also noticed Leon, gave him a cold look, then looked away and resumed her conversation with Nicole.
It seemed she had no intention of going inside.
After confirming that Nicole was safe, Kayla took an envelope out of her pocket.
Li Ang felt that it definitely contained US dollars, and judging from the thickness, it probably contained hundreds or even thousands of US dollars.
Then, Li Ang "inadvertently" overheard Kayla whispering to Nicole, "Come out, I have something to tell you."
"Yes, teacher, I'm coming."
