The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1495: Omniscient Chess

The latest website: "What? You want to join the school city?" Perhaps the surprise came too fast, which caught the head instructor of the exchange team a little off guard, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Yes, we do want to join the Academy City." Leo once again gave an affirmative answer.

Including the main tutor, all the scholars around the school city showed joyful expressions, and they all stepped forward to express to Leo and Sylvia that they were willing to be their introducers or recommenders.

Delkan was a little disappointed, because he had already noticed the knowledge of Leo and Sylvia from the beginning, and planned to serve as a recommender, recommending the two to join the Academy City, and he could also gain a lot of credits by virtue of this recommendation. He should be able to redeem the book he most wants to read from the secret library in the school city.

But now, although he can still recommend Leo and Sylvia, his identity has changed from the only recommender to a joint recommender. Even if he can still get some credits in the end, compared to the credits obtained as the only recommender Come, these credits are obviously much less.

It's just that the disappointed expression didn't stay on Delkan's face for too long, and it disappeared soon. Like other scholars, he also stepped forward and expressed his willingness to be the recommender of the two, although he won less credits in the end. But it's good to have something to gain, it's better than nothing.

At this time, the main instructor also changed his previous serious image and said loudly: "I originally thought that the best news I heard today was that the first snow on the mountain has stopped, there is not much snow, the road is passable, and we can start tomorrow to continue We're on our way. I didn't expect the real good news to be here. We deserve to celebrate this event. What do you guys think?"

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

The crowd responded loudly.

Leo and Sylvia didn't object either, they established a good relationship with the scholars present, which made it easier for them to act in the school city.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the celebration these scholars said was very different from the celebration they thought. These scholars in the city did not plan to hold any banquet, but baked the largest room in the hotel. Suite, and then held an all-knowing chess game in the suite.

This kind of Omniscient Chess was invented by the students of the Academy City. The specific student is no longer allowed to take the test, because when the instructors of the Academy City noticed this game, Omniscient Chess had already been circulated among the students of the Academy City for a long time.

Scholars in Xuecheng also like this kind of Omniscient Chess very much, just because the original version is for students, so the difficulty is very low. The current Omniscient Chess.

There are a total of 3,075 chess pieces in the current Omniscient Chess, which represent the 3,075 disciplines that the academy city has been divided into. If there are new disciplines in the academy city in the future, the chess pieces will be corresponding Increase.

As for the gameplay, it is also very simple, that is, the contestants each draw one hundred chess pieces representing different disciplines from the more than three thousand chess pieces, and then combine five different chess pieces according to the questions raised by the referee, and then according to the results of the five chess pieces, The subject knowledge represented is mixed into the answer to the question. The final answer needs to involve the subject knowledge represented by the five chess pieces, otherwise points will be deducted, one point will be deducted for one knowledge missing, and zero points will be deducted for failing to answer.

After completing a round of answers, the referee will randomly pick out one of the chess pieces in front of each person according to the deducted points, and finally see who still has chess pieces on hand, and whoever wins.

Although the game of Omniscient Chess is simple, it is not something ordinary people can play, because the basic condition of this game is profound knowledge, so this game has not been spread among the people, only a few in the Academy City, the Temple of the Spirit of Knowledge, etc. have a large number of scholars. It is popular in some places, and the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge also regards this game as one of the assessment criteria for high priests.

In addition, this game does not only test profound knowledge, quick thinking and sophistry skills, luck is also the key to success in this game. Most of the 100 chess pieces with good luck are subjects he is familiar with, and those with bad luck Perhaps all the chess pieces are partial subjects. For example, Sylvia's luck in the game is much worse. Most of the chess pieces she chooses do not involve her knowledge. In addition, she is not familiar with the game for the first time, so Soon she was defeated.

As for Leo, it is another extreme. There is too much knowledge in his brain database, and the breadth of knowledge involved is far beyond what these scholars can compare. No matter how biased the hundred chess pieces he touched, He was able to find the corresponding knowledge points without any dead ends. In the end, he won the championship of this celebration competition with a record of perfect victory without losing a single chess piece.

However, his performance has stunned all the scholars present, because since the creation of Omniscient Chess, no one has been able to win the final victory without losing a single chess piece, so no matter in the academic city , or in the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, there is a legend that the only person who can win the final victory without losing a single piece is the all-knowing Spirit of Knowledge.

But now this kind of miraculous thing happened before their eyes. A foreign scholar really did this kind of miraculous thing, which made all the people present stunned in place after Leo finally won. It hasn't returned to normal for a long time.

However, they finally recovered from the miraculous thing, and looked at Leo with great admiration, just like a fanatic looking up at the gods he believed in, and then they all expressed to Leo that they could not keep going. With respect, even the prudent main mentor is holding Leo's hand tightly at this time.

Leo was also confused by these scholars at the moment. He never thought that a game would make these scholars seem to be mutated. Originally, he just planned to use this near-perfect performance to improve himself again in the minds of these scholars. status, but what he didn't expect was that this time the promotion was a bit too much, and he was directly promoted to the cloud.

However, these scholars are quite stable. If the senior priests of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge were here, they would have already called Leo the incarnation of the Spirit of Knowledge.

"You must participate in this Omniscient Chess competition in the Academy City! This miracle should not only be seen by us, but also by other people in the Academy City, so that everyone can know that even humans can be omniscient like a god." Del Kan also said loudly to Leo excitedly at this time.

After hearing Delkan's words, other scholars nodded in agreement, and when someone reminded Leo that he was not yet a scholar of the Academy City, they couldn't wait to write letters of recommendation and contact letters to relatives and friends on the spot. Leo promised that he would send the letter to the school city before Leo and Sylvia arrived at the school city, and their relatives and friends would also recommend the two to the school city together. City, without passing the academic assessment, you can directly obtain the status of a scholar in the city.

Naturally, Leo and Sylvia would not refuse such kindness. Although this method of obtaining the status of a scholar in the school city cannot be compared with the status of a scholar obtained through formal assessment, and lacks some privileges, it does not matter to the two of them. He just used the school city as a springboard, and didn't consider staying in the school city for a long time, let alone being a tutor in the school city.

"You seem to like this kind of omniscient chess?" The couple who got rid of the enthusiastic scholars and returned to their room took off their coats. At this time, Sylvia asked curiously: "I saw when you played chess. , especially focused, completely different from the previous state."

"Omniscient Chess? This is not some omniscient chess." Leo shook his head, said with a deep expression on his face, and said, "This is the visualization of the training module of the Smart Array program."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was completely at a loss. She didn't know what Leo was talking about, and Leo didn't give a more specific explanation, because it might take a few years to explain it. Clear, so I simply responded to a starry sky product.

In fact, after hearing the game rules of Omniscient Chess, Leo immediately confirmed that this is the training module of the smart array program, and it is the most basic module, because every biochemical person must have Using the training method of this module to activate the brain of the biochemical man, so his familiarity with this module can almost be said to be engraved into his soul.

Scholars such as Delkan said that the inventor of Omniscient Chess may be a student of the academy. Leo thinks it is impossible. On the contrary, he thinks that Omniscient Chess may be related to the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge. No matter how you look at it, it seems absurd to regard the daily games invented by the powerful forces as sacred objects and promote them in the church.

Even though both the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge and the academic city of the Kingdom of Teresa center on learning, discussing, and researching various types of knowledge, this does not mean that the two are essentially the same. In fact, their core ideas are completely opposite. Even if the two have some cooperation, they will definitely not be regarded as allies, let alone add prestige to each other.

Looking at the game of Omniscient Chess from its appearance to promotion, to the recognition of the academic city, and finally to the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, it was designated as a sacred object, and all senior clergy were required to pass the test of Omniscient Chess before they could be promoted smoothly. The whole process seems to have a force pushing Omniscient Chess to continue to develop and improve, and there is no obstacle or wrong path in the whole process.

If it is an academic city, there is no need to be so troublesome. You only need to directly announce the gameplay of omniscient chess, and then directly promote it among scholars. Only non-academic cities that attach great importance to omniscient chess will use this A secret and time-consuming method to promote and improve Omniscient Chess, and there is only one such force, the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge.

Leo guessed that the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge got a part of the training module of the smart array program from some sources. They could see that this module was good for the human brain, but they didn't know if it had side effects, and they There are not enough candidates to experiment and improve this set of mods. After all, the basic requirements for playing this set of mods are very high. In this world, the only place in the world that can provide enough experimental candidates is the academic branch of Teresa Kingdom. City, so the City of Academics is likely to be used by the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge.

As for whether the City of Academics has seen through the operation of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, he felt that perhaps the City of Learning could not see any clues at first, but when the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge regarded Omniscient Chess as a sacred object and promoted it among the clergy of the church, They should have discovered something. As for why they didn't ban Omniscient Chess, it was probably because Omniscient Chess was also good for the scholars in the Academy City.

It's just that the upper echelons of the academic city may not have imagined how enthusiastic the scholars would be about this game when there suddenly appeared a game that was almost perfect in the eyes of scholars and specially designed for them in the boring life of the academic city. , can even be described as addiction.

After the school city exchange team set off again, the chief instructor, Delkan and others came to Leo every now and then to play a game of omniscient chess. After any difficulty, the rules of the game become one-to-many, or even one-to-ten at most.

Although they didn't win once during the entire game, they still enjoyed it, and in the end they all became mentor chess, and because of Omniscient Chess, Leo, a non-school city scholar, has become the exchange team of this school city. The leader of the team even invited Leo and Sylvia to several team internal meetings.

When the Xuecheng exchange team set off again, the size and number of the team had expanded by more than ten times. This was mainly because some caravans who had been stranded in Dashu Town also chose to go on the road together with the Xuecheng exchange team, and sent the caravan The guards have been integrated into the guard system of the school city, and they are completely sheltered under the exchange team of the school city.

Although in terms of safety and stability, the Kingdom of Teresa and its surrounding areas are among the best among the countries in the Old Continent, this does not mean that there is no need to worry about danger when walking in this area. In fact, the farther away from the city is the mountain. Among the steep mountains, the dangers that may arise are greater, and they are not even much safer than those war-torn areas~lightnovelpub.net~ For humans, the mountains of Theresa Kingdom are definitely the best refuge. Once you enter the mountains, you will hardly be affected by the flames of war from the outside world, but the same layers of mountains and dense forests are also the best hiding places for heretics, heretics, and other inhuman evils that are hunted down by the church. , and these beings who were wanted by the Church of True God outside had inhabited and multiplied here even before the founding of the Kingdom of Teresa.

Therefore, since the founding of the Kingdom of Teresa, it has always regarded consulting the heretics and heretics in the mountains as the primary national policy, and even brought in the power of the Church of True God to clean up the hidden dangers in the mountains of Teresa.

As for the church, they don’t care whether they are being used by the Kingdom of Teresa. They only care about the heretics and heretics hiding in the mountains. For this reason, the churches of the true gods have designated the mountains of the Kingdom of Teresa as a test site, and they will exclude themselves every year. The heresy hunting team and church knights came to hunt heretics and heretics in the mountains of Theresa Kingdom.

Less than two days after the Xuecheng team entered the mountain, they encountered three church heretic hunting teams, and judging from the wounded in the team, their conditions were not very good, and the news they brought made people The members of the Xuecheng exchange team hesitated whether to continue on the road.
