Very soon, An Xinhui and the others stopped talking and were completely immersed in Story of the Stone.
"Is it really that good?"
Murong Mingyue casually took a draft.
She wasn't a literary girl. Compared to reading, she preferred hunting and fiddling with puppets. However, as a great teacher, her literary attainment was still very high.
She only read it once and gave it a very high evaluation.
"The characters are well written. I like this Qingwen. But for a maid to be so impudent, wouldn't she be beaten to death if she was in the Central Plains?"
After Murong Mingyue said that, she was shushed by the three of them.
"Silence!"
An Xinhui and the other two had reproachful gazes.
With so many people around, Sun Mo naturally wouldn't be able to continue writing. Hence, he put down his brush. "Let's go to the Black-White Star Palace first!"
This star palace was a huge pagoda. It was a building specially built to store the black-white chessboard.
Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo exchanged a glance and followed.
Sun Mo had only written ten chapters and had a total of less than 60,000 words. An Xinhui and the others read it and finished reading it in a short while.
They didn't get enough of it, so they rewatched it again.
"It's so good!"
Mei Ziyu praised.
Because she was weak and sickly since young, she couldn't cultivate for long periods of time. Hence, she had read the most miscellaneous books, unlike An Xinhui and Gu Xiuxun who had only read those famous stories.
"As long as this standard is maintained, another explosive novel will appear in the Nine Provinces."
Mei Ziyu evaluated.
"Ah? It's that good? "
Gu Xiuxun was surprised. The explosive popularity of the Nine Provinces and the explosive popularity of Jinling were two different concepts.
"At the very least, from now on, the young ladies in the boudoir will have one more pillow book, and one more hope."
Mei Ziyu smiled. "Let's go and capture Sun Mo and get him to continue writing!"
"That's right, I can't wait to read the rest."
Gu Xiuxun seconded.
"It's just a minor dao after all!"
An Xinhui kept the draft. "Let's go and take a look at the black-white chessboard!"
Getting Sun Mo to write a novel?
It was simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
...
Outside the Black-White Star Palace, there was a team of guards stationed all year round.
The black-and-white chessboard was the ultimate treasure of this famous school. Even among the students of this school, half of them were unable to enter and see it for themselves even after graduating for seven years.
From this, it could be seen how precious the opportunity to view the chessboard was.
Sun Mo first went to look for Wan Kangcheng and asked for a handwritten decree with the headmaster's seal.
"Teacher, that Principal Wan seems to have something to say to you, but he's too embarrassed to say it."
Lu Zhiruo reminded.
"He's an 8-star great teacher, and he personally saw Secondary Saint Zhang becoming a secondary saint under Sun Mo's help. What do you think he's thinking?"
Murong Mingyue's lips twitched. If it wasn't for the fact that Wan Kangcheng had fallen out with Sun Mo previously and couldn't bring himself to beg Sun Mo, the two of them would be chatting by candlelight right now.
Didn't they see that when Sun Mo asked for the letter, the other party agreed even more happily than finding a wife for his own son?
Sun Mo rushed to the Black-White Star Palace and surveyed this black-and-white building. Just when he was about to take out his personal edict, Xie Enhui hurried over.
"Teacher Sun, let me bring you around!"
Xie Enhui was worried that Sun Mo would misunderstand that she was monitoring him. Hence, she hurriedly explained, "That chessboard has some strange abilities that we haven't figured out until now. Therefore, it's best to be careful. If anything happens to you, it would be the greatest loss to the great teacher world of the Nine Provinces."
"You don't understand either?"
Sun Mo was surprised.
"Hehe, this chessboard was dug out by a headmaster of our Black-White Academy from a relic in the Darkness Continent."
Xie Enhui explained in a low voice.
Actually, these secrets shouldn't be told to others, but who asked Sun Mo to be too outstanding?
With Xie Enhui leading the way, Sun Mo naturally didn't have to worry a lot. He just had to stroll around casually.
Everyone entered the huge pagoda and noticed that the light immediately dimmed. The inside was hollow and had the appearance of a dome. Gemstones were inlaid on the dome, shining brightly like the milky way.
"This way!"
Xie Enhui led everyone through a spiral staircase and entered the first underground level.
They followed a passageway and after walking for close to 30 meters, they entered a secret room.
"This place is really good!"
Sun Mo praised.
The floor, walls, and ceiling were all decorated with pictures of stars and oceans, flashing with bright colors. Therefore, even though they were underground, not only did it not appear dark and oppressive, but it also had an artistic mood.
If a man and woman on a blind date came to such a place to play, their relationship would definitely warm up rapidly!
To put it bluntly, there were only four words.
Extremely romantic!
Murong Mingyue's maiden heart was more indifferent. At this moment, her gaze landed on the center of the secret room. There was a white chess piece that was as big as a double bed.
On it was also a picture of the milky way in the night sky.
"These are constellations, right?"
Li Ziqi was very knowledgeable and immediately recognized the pictures on it. However, other than those that could be seen in books, there seemed to be some that were rarely seen.
"En!"
Xie Enhui nodded and explained, "Using the black and white chessboard consumes a lot of mental energy. Therefore, before going up, one must test one's mental energy here. If one doesn't pass, then I'm sorry, it's forbidden to use it."
"What if one forcefully uses it?"
Murong Mingyue was curious.
"One will become an idiot!"
Xie Enhui smiled bitterly. "Everyone, don't think that I'm lying to you. There are still over 100 teachers and students with dementia in the Black-White Academy's shelter.
"These are all people who have exhausted their mental energy in the black and white astrolabe game and can't wake up."
"Ah? It's so dangerous? "
Lu Zhiruo was shocked and grabbed Sun Mo's clothes.
"As long as you follow the normal procedures and don't mess around, you'll basically be fine."
Xie Enhui smiled. "Who wants to go first?"
"Let me do it!"
Murong Mingyue didn't want Sun Mo to be the first lab rat. Since Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo were students, she could only do it herself. "How do we do it?"
"Just lie down and follow your feelings."
Xie Enhui explained.
"Isn't this test too idealistic?"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. Then, he couldn't be distracted anymore because Xie Enhui slapped the chess piece on the big bed. With a sizzling sound, a white mist spurted out.
Ka! Ka!
The upper part of the chess piece opened up, revealing a cabin.
"..."
Sun Mo was dumbfounded. Was this a gaming cabin?
Why did it look so sci-fi?
However, there weren't any high-tech things like wires or chips in the chess piece. It was just a jelly-like substance.
With a flick of her finger, the jelly-like substance bounced around.
"According to the rules, you have to burn incense and bathe first before stripping and entering. However, there's no need for you guys to do that!"
Xie Enhui was very understanding. "Don't worry, this stardew has an extremely strong self-purification ability. Moreover, it's filled with spirit qi."
"Stardew?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"We don't know what it's called, so we casually gave it a name."
Xie Enhui explained, "Alright, move faster. Remember, if you feel uncomfortable or can't take it anymore, just hit the chess piece with all your might."
"En!"
Murong Mingyue nodded and started to take off her boots and coat. Since she was being polite, she couldn't be thick-skinned and do it.
Sun Mo was embarrassed.
What should I do?
He definitely couldn't leave. He still had to stand guard for Murong Mingyue and prevent the people from the Black-White Academy from playing tricks. But looking at it like this...
Tsk, I couldn't tell that you're actually a C?
The children of the barbarian tribe didn't need to talk about such things. Very soon, Murong Mingyue, who was only left with her underwear, held her breath and entered the jelly-like stardew.
"Don't worry, you can breathe!"
Xie Enhui consoled and then slapped the chess piece.
Ka ka!
The chess piece was covered.
"Amazing!"
Li Ziqi exclaimed.
"Teacher Sun, this is a good thing. It contains endless mysteries. If you join our school, you'll have the right to comprehend it at any time."
Xie Enhui took the chance to recruit him.
"Sister Xie, no matter what, you'll be my friend forever!"
Sun Mo was very sweet.
"Hehe, look at this child. What nonsense are you talking about? I'm old enough to be your grandmother!"
Although Xie Enhui said this, she couldn't stop the blush on her face.
Being called sister by such a handsome little puppy.
It was simply wonderful.
Sigh.
She really wanted to tell him, 'You don't need to work hard anymore. Auntie will buy you spirit runes!'
But very soon, Xie Enhui didn't have the mood to think too much. It was because the chess piece lit up and was spreading rapidly. In less than three minutes, it had covered the entire chess piece.
"This..."
Xie Enhui was shocked.
Seeing her expression, Sun Mo was shocked. "Sister Xie, is there something wrong?"
As he said this, Sun Mo held the wooden blade with one hand and was prepared to break the chess piece to save her.
"There's nothing wrong. The test is to see the speed at which the starry river diagram is lit up."
Xie Enhui was stunned and didn't understand. "Who is this Great Teacher Murong's teacher? Why haven't I heard of him before? "
That shouldn't be the case.
To be able to light up the starry river diagram in three minutes, this meant that his mental energy was extremely strong and his potential was extremely high. Even among all the young great teachers in the Black-White Academy, he would be ranked in the top ten.
Such a genius should have long since been known by everyone.
"I don't know either."
Sun Mo thought to himself. Murong Mingyue was the trump card that Vice-headmaster Murong used to seize control of the Dragon Subduing Academy. As she had been controlling puppets since young, her mental energy was definitely off the charts.
"Oh!"
Xie Enhui understood that Sun Mo was hiding something. However, it wasn't good for her to ask about such things. "Oh right, Teacher Sun, you can just call me Teacher Xie or Aunt Xie."
It was too embarrassing to call her Sister Xie.
Dong dong!
Xie Enhui knocked on the chess piece. "You can come out now!"
After a few minutes, the chess piece emitted white gas and opened up with a cracking sound.
Murong Mingyue climbed out.
It was very magical.
The jelly-like mucus actually didn't stick to her body at all, and it separated easily.
"Teacher, how do you feel?"
Li Ziqi was curious.
"I saw a sea of stars!"
Murong Mingyue said.
"Who's next?"
Xie Enhui's gaze landed on Sun Mo, wanting to see the potential value of this genius.
"Me! Me! "
Lu Zhiruo raised her small hand.
Very soon, the papaya girl took off her outer clothes and entered the chess piece.
Bzz!
The chess piece lit up directly. Her speed was even faster than Murong Mingyue's.
"This..."
Xie Enhui was scared silly.
(What the hell is this?
Even if it's me, it's impossible for me to be so fast!)
"Her physique is a little special!"
Sun Mo braced himself and explained.
Oh no.
He had been too careless.
He shouldn't have allowed the lucky mascot to be so rash. After all, she was different from ordinary people when she leveled up. She had to absorb a tremendous amount of spirit qi.
"Understood!"
Xie Enhui didn't continue asking. From her point of view, this girl might have eaten some heavenly and earthly treasures that could strengthen one's mental energy.
The chess piece opened up, and Lu Zhiruo stood up with a dazed look on her face.
"It ended just like that?"
Lu Zhiruo scratched her head and felt a little regretful. "I wanted to admire those stars in detail!"
"It's my turn!"
Li Ziqi's oval face was a little red.
Aiya!
It was so embarrassing to strip in front of a teacher.
She entered the jelly. The touch wasn't bad. After that, she covered the chess piece.
"Luckily, it didn't light up immediately!"
Xie Enhui heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it if another absolute genius came.
This wait lasted for seven minutes.
"Congratulations, it's another genius!"
Xie Enhui was envious. Li Ziqi could be ranked first in the grade after seven minutes.
It was Sun Mo's turn. However, before he entered, a guard came to report that An Xinhui and the others had arrived.
They knew that Sun Mo would definitely be here. Moreover, given his status, the Black-White Academy would definitely arrange for someone to be their guide. Hence, they came directly.
"Invite them in!"
Xie Enhui instructed.
"Wow, such a big chess piece. But why is it placed here alone?"
Gu Xiuxun asked curiously.
They weren't afraid of strangers at all.
After Xie Enhui explained, she urged, "Teacher Sun, don't wait anymore. Let's go in!"
"You guys should avoid us from time to time?"
Sun Mo felt a headache.
Although the girls shifted their gazes away, they had no intention of leaving.
"Sun Mo, you are too petty!"
Gu Xiuxun's lips twitched. "You've seen me before."
Swoosh!
Everyone's gazes turned over.
"Eh, don't misunderstand. I'm saying that Sun Mo gave me a massage before!"
Gu Xiuxun wanted to slap herself. (Why am I being so talkative?)
Sun Mo had no solution and could only brace himself.
Xie Enhui's eyes brightened and she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Che, Teacher Sun's figure is really good!"
Although the figures of cultivators weren't bad, it was still very rare to see someone as well-proportioned and fit as Sun Mo.
Sun Mo entered the jelly.
As the chess piece covered him, his vision turned completely dark.
"It feels strange!"
Sun Mo moved his body, but there was some resistance as if he was soaking in the jelly. After that, with a pa sound, it was as if he was electrocuted, causing his body to bounce. After that, the surroundings lit up. It was as if a city with a blackout had suddenly received electricity.
In an instant, the lights of tens of thousands of households lit up.
"F * ck!"
Sun Mo couldn't help but curse. It was because this place was simply too beautiful.
In his vision, there was a starry sky that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was as if he was in the galaxy.
After Sun Mo looked at the surroundings, he looked into the distance, wanting to know what was at the end.
In the secret room, Xie Enhui paid attention to the chess pieces, wanting to see the speed at which the star atlas lit up. In the end, in the blink of an eye, the entire star atlas lit up.
It was so fast that she couldn't even react.
"So fast?"
Xie Enhui was stunned. After that, her gaze was filled with intense envy.
"Headmaster An, can you give your fiancé to our school?"
Xie Enhui's tone was filled with century-old vinegar. Just when she was preparing to knock the chess piece and get Sun Mo to come out, a sudden change occurred!
