Chapter 291

As soon as Cordelia immersed herself in her studies, hours flew by like seconds.

During dinner, she picked at her food absentmindedly, barely eating a slice of pizza and a few fries before rushing back upstairs to tackle a chemistry problem. She had already finished the complex textbook on chemical elements, but a seemingly simple problem was giving her trouble.

The conditions seemed insufficient, and D-acetylneuraminic acid, a term she hadn't encountered in her studies, appeared to be a novel chemical compound. Engrossed in the problem, Cordelia hit a dead end.

In the past, she would have combed through various books to find a solution, but now... Cordelia decided to take a shortcut. She picked up her phone and opened the Pioneers Group app, typing, "Any chemists in here?"

The group, including Cordelia, had 21 members: Mr. All-Round, a few chefs, tailors, and some scientists among others. Unsure of their specific expertise, she asked.

With Mr. All-Round's unspoken endorsement, responses came quickly.

Bland replied, "We had a chemist, but now it's just physicists and mathematicians."

Stanton chimed in, "Lia, got a chemistry problem? I know a few chemists in real life. Just say the word."

Mathster added, "Lia, there are a few chemistry professors at Superiority College. If you need, just ask."

Stanton teased, "Show-off, do you think your professors are better than our former chemist?"

Mathster was puzzled.

Cordelia, curious, asked, "What happened to the former chemist?"
