Boom!
A scorching and resplendent light burst forth from the large chess piece. In that instant, the sudden increase in brightness was like a newborn sun!
"Murong!"
An Xinhui shouted loudly. At the same time she closed her eyes, she covered Li Ziqi's eyes and then pulled her away.
"Don't look!"
Murong Mingyue reminded loudly and grabbed Lu Zhiruo. Not only did she cover her eyes, but she also turned and retreated at the first instant, distancing herself from this chess piece.
Although Mei Ziyu, Gu Xiuxun, and Jin Mujie didn't know what had happened, the light from this chess piece was simply too dazzling. Moreover, there was also a burning pain.
I should leave first!
But what about Sun Mo?
Then, they heard Xie Enhui's scream.
"What happened?"
Xie Enhui's mind was a mess.
In the entire history of the Black-White College, a situation like this had never occurred.
Furthermore, with Xie Enhui's reaction speed, she could have closed her eyes in time when the light erupted. However, in that instant, she saw that the star map on the chess piece's outer shell had an additional pattern that she had never seen before. This caused her to be momentarily dazed, and then she was unlucky.
For a mysterious secret treasure of darkness like this, the school would spend a lot of manpower and resources to research it. Basically, there wouldn't be too many mistakes. But now, it had changed because of Sun Mo.
Fortunately, the resplendent light disappeared in a flash and returned to its normal brightness.
"Sun Mo, can you hear me?"
An Xinhui called out.
Chi! Chi!
A large amount of white mist sprayed out, and the lid opened.
Sun Mo crawled out from the jelly-like liquid. When he saw the heavy expressions on An Xinhui and the others' faces, he felt a little puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Eh? Aunt Xie? "
Sun Mo was greatly shocked. Xie Enhui's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered in tears.
"I'm fine!"
Xie Enhui said apologetically, "Please wait here for a moment. I'll arrange for someone else to accompany you."
"Sister Xinhui, accompany Aunt Xie!"
Sun Mo instructed.
After they left, Sun Mo glanced at Mei Ziyu.
"After you went in, this thing suddenly exploded with intense light and hurt her eyes."
Mei Ziyu was puzzled. "Something must have happened, causing her to be so shocked that she forgot to close her eyes!"
"That's right. Otherwise, with her strength, it's impossible for her to injure him!"
Murong Mingyue analyzed.
"Then what should we do? Do we still want to play black and white? "
Lu Zhiruo was worried.
"System, do you know the origin of this thing?"
Sun Mo had already used Divine Sight to take a look. It indicated that the target was unknown.
The system was silent.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Sun Mo asked, "Could it be that this thing has something to do with your origins?"
"No comment!"
The System's voice was emotionless. "Also, don't make wild guesses. Don't compare me to this trash."
"So you do know what this is?"
Sun Mo's eyes narrowed.
Speaking of which, what exactly was the system? What method did it use to parasitize him?
Also, how were the rewards distributed?
"Stop guessing. The way of thinking and life forms of you humans are too low. Even after ten thousand years, you still won't be able to understand my existence."
The system sneered.
"Aren't you being too arrogant?"
Sun Mo was unhappy with the system's tone.
"Haha, you don't even understand this stuff. What right do you have to call me crazy?"
The system was overjoyed.
"What if I choose to commit suicide?"
Sun Mo suddenly said, causing the system to freeze. After that, it mocked, "Why do you have to do such a thing where both sides will suffer?"
"If you die, I'll naturally waste a lot of time. However, I'm an eternal existence and can nurture another host."
After the system spoke, it fell silent.
There was no meaning to this conversation. It didn't wish to continue.
"I'll go in and take a look!"
Just when Sun Mo wanted to move, Mei Ziyu pulled him back.
"No, it's too dangerous!"
The girl with long black hair was worried.
"It's fine!"
Sun Mo patted Mei Ziyu's head and lay down on the chess piece.
However, this time around, there was no radiance.
"Annoying, don't look at me like you're looking at your younger sister!"
Mei Ziyu pouted.
Not long later, Wan Kangcheng came.
After all, the Black-White Star Compass was the ultimate treasure of the school. They couldn't afford to lose it.
"Teacher Sun is inside?"
After Wan Kangcheng asked, he immediately placed his hand on the chess piece and observed it carefully. After that, intense joy appeared on his face.
"There are more star diagrams!"
Wan Kangcheng was so happy that he almost jumped up. "Quickly, go and look for Teacher Miao. Get him to quickly copy the star diagrams."
"Headmaster Wan..."
An Xinhui frowned.
"Oh, don't worry, it'll be fine!"
Wan Kangcheng smiled. "If we want to activate the black-and-white astrolabe, we need a tremendous amount of mental energy. This time around, Teacher Sun has helped us greatly."
An Xinhui replied with a smile, but she didn't think so in her heart.
(This old fellow must be hiding something.)
If it was mental energy, wouldn't the past saints of the Black-White Academy have stronger mental energy than Sun Mo?
Of course, after Sun Mo inherited the Battlegod Will, his mental energy was also terrifyingly strong. However, it shouldn't be comparable to a saint.
An Xinhui's guess was right. To activate the astrolabe, mental energy was needed, but it had to be of a specific wavelength.
Not only did it have to be strong, but it also had to be compatible.
Of course, only the past headmasters had the right to know this secret.
As the vice-headmaster, Wan Kangcheng originally didn't have the right to know. However, because Headmaster Song was going into seclusion, he made an exception and told him.
"Teacher Sun!"
Wan Kangcheng carefully surveyed Sun Mo who came out from the chess piece. He suppressed the urge to dig Sun Mo out. He still had to observe Sun Mo more.
"Headmaster Wan, this thing shouldn't be damaged!"
Sun Mo smiled apologetically.
"Teacher Sun, there's no need to think too much. Come, I'll bring you guys to play black-and-white games!"
Wan Kangcheng led the way.
Although An Xinhui and the others hadn't been tested yet, Wan Kangcheng didn't need to. Even Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo could pass, so the others definitely wouldn't have any problems.
"Ah? He still wants us to use it? "
Lu Zhiruo was surprised. "So this old man is a good person!"
From the papaya girl's point of view, since Sun Mo had caused such a huge anomaly, he'd definitely be prohibited from using the black-and-white astrolabe before the reason was investigated.
"Idiot!"
Li Ziqi wasn't as magnanimous as Lu Zhiruo.
Wan Kangcheng might even use a teacher. What was there to test?
In any case, it was better to be careful!
Everyone followed Wan Kangcheng and went down another level. After passing through a 30-meter-long passageway, everyone entered a vast and majestic hall.
"Wow!"
The moment Lu Zhiruo entered, she couldn't help but cry out.
The entire hall was squarish in shape, and there was a platform built three meters above the ground.
Looking down from the air, one could see horizontal and vertical lines drawing out many squares. In each square, there was a chess piece.
These chess pieces were a few times smaller than the one Sun Mo had tested earlier. They were even smaller than a single bed, just enough for one person to lie inside.
Sun Mo did a rough calculation. There were roughly over 100 squares, but there were only 50 chess pieces in the gaming cabins.
"What stones are these?"
Gu Xiuxun was surprised.
Regardless of whether it was the platform or the chess pieces, they were all a type of slightly transparent crystal that was enshrouded in a layer of fluorescence.
"Why are some of them bright? Why aren't some of them bright? "
Lu Zhiruo was curious.
"The bright chess pieces are being used by someone else!"
Wan Kangcheng explained. After that, he activated Lotus Steps and walked up to the platform. That feeling was as though there were formless stairs in the air. "Everyone, follow me!"
"Wow, we can even play five games in a row!"
Sun Mo recalled the time when the entire dormitory would go to an internet cafe to play games.
Everyone jumped up to the platform.
Li Ziqi pulled Lu Zhiruo. After that, the two of them activated the Imperial Sky Spirit Rune and flew up, but they didn't land.
"Will this be damaged?"
Lu Zhiruo asked carefully.
"Hehe, although it won't be damaged, please try not to step too hard and cherish it!"
Wan Kangcheng explained. He glanced sideways and was stunned because the two young girls were floating in the air.
This...
Was this the effect of tattooing a flying spirit rune?
It was truly magical!
Wan Kangcheng had Lotus Steps and could also stand in the air. However, there were simply too few great teachers who could comprehend this. As for Sun Mo's spirit rune, he could use it even if the other party was a noob.
It was fine even if the other party was a noob.
Sigh!
(Such outstanding great teachers, why aren't they the children of my Black-White Academy?)
"Alright, these chess pieces aren't controlled by anyone. Why don't we continue the chess game of life here?"
As Wan Kangcheng spoke, he touched a chess piece. "Press here and the chess piece will open!"
Pffft!
White mist gushed out and the lid opened.
"I won't say anything about how to proceed. You guys can figure it out yourselves!"
Wan Kangcheng smiled. "This is also a type of pleasure!"
In truth, he wanted to see if Sun Mo could dig out new functions.
"Many thanks, Headmaster Wan!"
An Xinhui thanked him.
"Begin! Begin! "
Gu Xiuxun was impatient.
After Sun Mo cupped his fists toward Wan Kangcheng and thanked him, he lay down on the chess piece.
Wan Kangcheng's countenance turned heavy. The chess piece lit up. This meant that Sun Mo was connected to the game. However, the light was very normal.
"Headmaster? Why are you here? "
Zhang Wentao came out from the chess piece and was stunned when he saw Wan Kangcheng. After that, he understood. "Sun Mo is here?"
"Why is he avoiding?"
Wan Kangcheng frowned.
He knew that Zhang Wentao had been avoiding Sun Mo during this period of time.
"..."
Zhang Wentao pursed his lips.
"If you want to defeat someone, you have to understand them first. It's not advisable to build a cart behind closed doors!"
Wan Kangcheng guided.
Zhang Wentao hurriedly lowered his head. "This student understands!"
...
Sun Mo moved his body a little. He wasn't prepared yet, but after blinking his eyes, the galaxy diagram before him vanished. What replaced it was a small straw hut with a fence.
In the courtyard outside, there were a few vegetable beds and chickens and ducks walking around. An old yellow dog was lying on a willow tree, taking a nap.
"Could this be the character selection interface?"
Sun Mo felt that it was very interesting.
A female voice rang out. It was a language that Sun Mo didn't understand.
"Could it be that she is introducing the background of the story? Xinhui and the others are probably at a loss. "
Sun Mo silently rejoiced.
Although he didn't understand this language, back then when he played foreign games and watched foreign movies, he could only make guesses when there were no subtitles.
The situation now was probably the same.
Very soon, a man and a woman walked out from the straw hut!
"Can't I pinch their faces?"
Sun Mo was thinking about how to do it when he suddenly recalled that he was someone with a cheat.
"System, do you have this language over there?"
Sun Mo asked.
