As Sun Mo answered the question, the countdown immediately stopped. However, there were no other reactions. Whether it was right or wrong, the screen didn't show it either.
"Which answer did you choose?"
Headmaster Song had an anxious look on his face.
"I chose autonomous evolution!"
Sun Mo took a look. There were two buttons on the control panel, one red and one green, representing two different answers. He pressed the red one.
"Why?"
Headmaster Song frowned.
"There's no why. I just think so!"
Sun Mo spread his hands.
"You..."
Headmaster Song felt his teeth aching. Were all geniuses so unfathomable?
(What do you mean you think so?
Your answer concerns the lives of tens of millions of people. Can't you be more cautious?)
"There has to be a reason, right? Honestly speaking, I feel that the option of guiding humans is more appropriate! "
Headmaster Song argued. "In this world, ordinary people make up the majority. Most of their lives are spent following the flow. Even if they work hard, it's only for a few years or even a few months!
"However, elites are different from wise people. They can stand out. This means that their wisdom and hard work far surpass ordinary people. Only such people can guide everyone to a more correct path."
"So?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"That's why I chose this answer!"
Headmaster Song explained, "You don't believe me? Look at the past dynasties. If there was a wise ruler and a virtuous official, wouldn't the country be stronger? Wouldn't the lives of the people be better? "
"Then why didn't you choose it?"
Sun Mo's casual question caused Headmaster Song to be speechless.
As the saying went, the more one knew, the more one would know respect.
In Headmaster Song's eyes, this wasn't just a simple multiple-choice question. It was a choice that encompassed one's outlook on life and values.
Headmaster Song needed to weigh these two systems. It wasn't something that could be understood in a short period of time, let alone within a minute.
Oh right, he had a prerequisite. If he answered wrongly, the astrolabe would explode like a terrifying nuclear bomb. One must know that in the Black-White Academy, there were Headmaster Song's relatives, colleagues, and students...
Hence, Headmaster Song had given up on answering the question.
He had run away!
"This question is too heavy!"
Headmaster Song's expression was dejected and he felt some regret. He should have answered the question himself instead of handing it to a reckless brat like Sun Mo.
"Principal Song, I don't think there's a perfect system in this world. You have to look at the external environment of a country to determine what kind of system it needs."
"Of course, I don't understand these things. The reason I chose to be so straightforward is because I feel that systems and whatnot are too high for an individual. All we can do is make our lives meaningful. That's enough."
"The heavens are very fair. Everyone has been given 24 hours, but how to use it depends on the individual!"
"I feel that in this life, only talent and time cannot be wasted. Otherwise, when one is about to die, one will definitely regret it."
Headmaster Song was stunned. Sun Mo's words had opened up a whole new horizon for him.
Actually, Headmaster Song did not think of this because he was a saint, the head of a school, the disseminator of knowledge. People like him would not think about personal gains and losses. All he thought about was the country and the world!
For example, if they attacked a country, 100 soldiers would die, but the country would obtain a piece of territory. Under these conditions, it could be said that all of the Emperors and Ministers would choose to attack.
They might even think that exchanging 100 people for a large piece of land was too profitable.
"Teacher Sun, I've benefited from your guidance!"
Headmaster Song bowed.
Sun Mo jumped in fright and hurriedly dodged to the side. "I don't dare! I don't dare! "
After that, Sun Mo felt a little heartache.
If this was in the Nine Provinces and a saint bowed to him and called him teacher, how many favorable impression points would he earn?
What a waste.
"Headmaster Song, actually, I feel that the answer to this question shouldn't be important!"
Sun Mo voiced out his thoughts.
"What do you mean?"
Headmaster Song was puzzled.
"For a civilization that can create such a game, do you think that their system or their knowledge would stop at such a multiple-choice question? I feel that the condition to clear the game might be the 'one minute' time limit! "
Sun Mo deduced.
Headmaster Song was astonished. This sentence caused him to feel a great impact. Just when he was planning to ask Sun Mo in detail about his thoughts, a mechanical voice rang out.
"Player Sun Mo, congratulations. You've cleared the game and regained your freedom. You've also become the new owner of this game and have the rights to it."
This was the game's GM.
"You can leave this game at any time!"
At the same time, many streams of information appeared in Sun Mo's mind, almost causing his brain to crash from overload.
"What's the answer to the last question?"
Sun Mo was curious as well.
"As long as you give a choice within 30 seconds, no matter which one you choose, you'll be considered to have cleared the game!"
The GM replied.
"What?"
After hearing this answer, large amounts of cold sweat appeared on Headmaster Song's forehead. He felt a lingering fear in his heart. This was a f * cking scam.
A minute's time to think was already very short. He didn't expect that 30 seconds was the correct answer.
Headmaster Song was sure that anyone would only give a choice when the countdown was about to end.
"..."
Sun Mo felt that this game was as much of a scam as the Great Teacher System. The designer was really too vile.
"What's the theme of each stage?"
Headmaster Song humbly sought guidance.
"New owner of the game, Sun Mo, can you give a reply?"
The GM turned and asked.
"The first stage, prehistoric era, is about exploration and survival. Only by living will there be a future.
"The second stage, historical era, is about exploration and righteousness. What is the purpose of a person living to defend?
"The third stage, discusses the existence of power. It doesn't just include firearms, fists, and legs. It also includes money, technology...
"The fourth stage, explores the existence of life. What is the foundation of a human? Is it the body, the soul, or the consciousness?
"The fifth stage, explores the future, right?"
Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance. He wasn't idle usually and was thinking about the meaning of these games.
"Correct answer!"
The GM praised and even simulated applause.
Headmaster Song was shocked. After that, he felt a strong sense of regret. (Why isn't such an outstanding student a child of my Black-White Academy?)
"Are you interested in coming to the Black-White Academy to teach?"
After Headmaster Song said that, he hurriedly changed his words. "How about becoming the vice-headmaster?"
It was too much of a waste of talent to let Sun Mo be a great teacher.
Headmaster Song planned to observe Sun Mo and see how he was suitable to let him inherit the position of headmaster.
"I'm sorry!"
Sun Mo rejected. "Speaking of which, let's hurry back to the Nine Provinces.
"Oh right, what about the other players? They can all go back, right? "
Headmaster Song was worried.
"As long as they are in the game, all the players who are still alive can go back. Even those great teachers from your school who have turned into idiots can be restored. However, if they die in the game, they can't go back."
Sun Mo had received this information from the information stream earlier. After he saw it, he didn't dare to delay and immediately requested the GM to quickly unlock the system and release the players back.
"Wait a minute!"
Sun Mo thought of that mysterious person. "Do you have a name list of the players here? Quickly display it for me! "
Swoosh!
A virtual screen popped up before Sun Mo's eyes. He quickly browsed through the names.
After each name, there was the player's specific data, including gender, age...
"Luckily! Luckily! They are all alive! "
Sun Mo searched for the names of An Xinhui and the others. However, when he saw Liu Yuzhi's name, he was stunned. 421 years old?
What the hell was this?
Wasn't she Zhang Wentao's personal disciple?
She seemed to be a third-year?
Damn, could she be a dark great teacher in disguise?
Sun Mo drew in a cold gasp. If she was plotting against him, he would definitely fall for it.
However, after the lingering fear, he felt joy.
The 5-star great teacher examination required him to capture a dark great teacher. Right now, Sun Mo had one in his pocket.
"Headmaster Song, you can go back first. I'll go look for a mysterious person!"
Sun Mo looked toward Yun Yao and Su Ji. Because the game had ended, the two NPCs had already gone into hibernation. Moreover, all of their memories regarding Sun Mo had been deleted.
"I wish you guys happiness!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he relied on his authority as the owner and directly appeared before the mysterious person.
...
In another 'Eden', the mysterious person and a man wearing a cloak were sitting cross-legged in the main control room.
"GM, why isn't their name shown on the name list?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"I'm sorry, your authority isn't sufficient and you can't check it."
The GM's words caused Sun Mo to frown.
"Sun Mo?"
The mysterious person was shocked when he saw Sun Mo. After that, he understood. "You've cleared the game?"
"Mn!"
Sun Mo nodded. "You are the Dawn Sovereign, right?"
"That's right!"
The mysterious person admitted.
"What about this person?"
Sun Mo looked toward the cloaked man. To be able to stay together with the Dawn Sovereign and not have a name, he must be a major character.
"Your father!"
The cloaked man was from the Zu An Clan and had a bad temper.
"I have the authority to insta-kill you!"
Sun Mo coldly snorted.
"Sun Mo, since we dared to come in, we naturally have the means to get out. It's just that we'll have to expend a lot of energy. Since you can come here, it means that you've already gained control of the game. Why don't you let us out?"
The mysterious person chuckled and was very friendly, but the words he said caused one's hair to stand on end.
"Oh right, I've considered that Headmaster Song might have already cleared the game. Hence, I've made arrangements. Once the Black-White Academy's players regain their consciousness and I'm not out yet, my group members will cause a huge commotion in the Nine Provinces!"
Sun Mo scratched his head gloomily. He was afraid of this, hence, he came to inquire about information.
The Dawn Sovereign, the greatest enemy of the Saint Gate, was definitely not someone easy to deal with.
"As the price, for the next ten years, I'll restrain my group members and not act against the great teachers of the Nine Provinces!"
"How about 20 years?"
Sun Mo asked to increase the price.
"How many 20 years can there be in a person's life?"
The Dawn Sovereign chuckled.
"Brother Li, you guys continue chatting. I'm leaving!"
After the cloaked man said that, he directly disappeared.
Did Sun Mo want to bargain?
Hehe.
He wasn't worthy!
"Look, compared to others, am I not more suitable to be your friend?"
The Dawn Sovereign teased. "Oh right, I forgot to mention that the two of us have also cleared the game earlier!"
At this moment, the news of Headmaster Song waking up from the Black-White Game spread through the entire Black-White Academy, causing a huge commotion!
