The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What? Do you want to join the academy?" Perhaps the surprise came too quickly, which caught the leader of the exchange team by surprise, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Yes, we do want to join the Academy." Leo gave a positive answer again.

Including the main tutor, all the scholars around the city showed joy, and they stepped forward to Leo and Sylvia to express their willingness to be their introducers or recommenders.

Delkan was a little disappointed, because he had noticed the knowledge of Leo and Sylvia from the beginning, and planned to recommend them to join the academy as a recommender, and he could also get a lot of credits with this recommendation. He should be able to exchange the book he most wanted to read from the secret library in the academy.

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 he gets as the only recommender. Come on, these credits are obviously a lot less.

It's just that the disappointed expression didn't stay on Delkan's face for too long, and it disappeared quickly. Like other scholars, he also stepped forward and offered to be the recommender of the two of them, although he eventually got less credits. But it's nice to have something to gain, and 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 is that the first snow on the mountain has stopped, there is not much snow, the road is passable, and we can leave tomorrow to continue. Hit the road. I didn't expect the real good news to be here, we deserve to celebrate this event, what do you guys mean?"

"Agree!"

"Seconded!"

The crowd responded loudly.

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

However, what they didn't expect was that the celebrations these scholars were talking about were very different from the celebrations they thought. The scholars in these academies didn't plan to hold any banquets, but they ate the largest restaurant in the hotel. Suite, and then held an omniscient chess game in the suite.

This kind of omniscient chess was invented by the students of Xuecheng. The specific student is no longer available, because by the time the tutors of Xuecheng noticed this game, omniscient chess had been circulated among the students of Xuecheng for a long time.

Xuecheng scholars also like this kind of omniscient chess, just because the original version is for students, so the difficulty is very low, Xuecheng scholars think it is a bit simple, so they continue to supplement its rules and gameplay, and finally form The current omniscient chess.

There are a total of 3,075 chess pieces in the current omniscient chess, representing the 3,075 large and small disciplines that the Xuecheng has been divided into. If there are new disciplines in the Xuecheng in the future, the pieces will also be corresponding. Increase.

As for the gameplay, it is also very simple, that is, each participant selects 100 pieces representing different disciplines from the more than 3,000 pieces, and then assembles five different pieces according to the questions raised by the referee, and then according to the five pieces. The representative subject knowledge is mixed into the answer to the question. The final answer needs to involve the subject knowledge represented by the five pieces, otherwise, points will be deducted, one will be deducted for lack of knowledge, and zero points will be deducted if there is no answer.

After completing a round of answers, the referee will randomly pick out one of the pieces in front of everyone according to the points deducted. In the end, whoever has more pieces on hand will win.

Although the gameplay of omniscient chess is simple, it is not something that ordinary people can play, because the basic condition of this game is profound knowledge, so this game is not spread among the people, only in a small number of scholars such as the Academy and the Temple of the Spirit of Knowledge. It is popular in places where it is popular, and the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge also regards this game as one of the assessment criteria for high-level clergy.

In addition, this game does not only test profound knowledge, sensitive thinking and sophistication skills. Luck is also the key to winning this game. Most of the 100 pieces with good luck are subjects that he is familiar with, and those with bad luck Maybe all the chess pieces are partial subjects. For example, Sylvia has a lot of bad luck in the game. Most of the chess pieces she chooses do not involve her knowledge, and she is not familiar with the game for the first time, so Soon she was defeated.

As for Leo, it is at the other 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 pieces he touches, He was able to find the corresponding knowledge points without any dead ends. In the end, he won the championship of this celebratory game with a complete victory record that was so perfect that he did not lose a pawn.

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 piece of chess, so whether it is in the academic city , or in the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, there is a legend that only the all-knowing Spirit of Knowledge can achieve the ultimate victory without losing a chess piece.

But now this kind of miraculous thing happened in front of them. A foreign scholar really did such a miraculous thing, which made everyone present stunned and stunned 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 incomparable admiration one by one, just like a mad believer looking up at the gods he believed in, and then they expressed to Leo that they could not stay forever. The respect of him, even the prudent head teacher was holding Leo's hand 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 have mutated. Originally, he just planned to use this near-perfect performance to once again improve himself in the minds of these scholars. However, what I didn't expect was that this time the promotion was a little too high, and he was directly raised into the cloud.

Gu </span> However, these scholars are still stable. If the senior clergy of the Spirit of Knowledge Church were here, they would have shouted the name of the incarnation of the Spirit of Knowledge to Leo.

"You must participate in this all-knowing chess game in Xuecheng! This miracle should not only be seen by us, but also be seen by other people in Xuecheng, so that everyone can know that even human beings can be as omniscient as gods." Del Kan also shouted at Leo excitedly at this time.

When other scholars heard Delkan's words, they nodded in agreement, and when someone reminded Leo that Leo was not yet a scholar of Xuecheng, they couldn't wait to start writing letters of recommendation and contact letters to relatives and friends, and sent letters to friends and relatives. Leo promised that he would send the letter to the academy before Leo and Sylvia arrived at the academy, and their relatives and friends would recommend the two to the academy together. City, without passing the academic assessment, can also directly obtain the status of Xuecheng scholar.

Leo and Sylvia would naturally not refuse such kindness. Although this method of obtaining the academic status of the city cannot be compared with the academic status obtained by the formal assessment, it lacks some privileges, but it does not matter to the two of them, they are anyway. He just uses the academy as a springboard, and does not consider staying in the academy for a long time, let alone serving as a mentor in the academy.

"You seem to like this kind of omniscient chess?" The scholars who got rid of their enthusiasm, the couple who returned to their rooms, took off their jackets, and Sylvia asked curiously at this time: "I watched you play chess when , very focused, completely different from the previous state."

"Omniscient chess? This is not omniscient chess." Leo shook his head and said with a deep expression, "This is the visualization of the training module of the smart array program."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was completely at a loss, not knowing what Leo said, and Leo did not have a more specific explanation, because it might take a few years to explain. Qing, so he simply responded with a starry sky product.

In fact, after hearing the game rules of omniscient chess, Leo immediately determined that this is the training module of the intelligent array program, and it is the most basic module, because every biochemical person in the past must be officially delivered before being put into use. The cyborg's brain is activated using the mod's training method, so his familiarity with the mod is almost soul-carved.

Scholars such as Delkan said that the inventor of Omniscient Chess might be a student of the academy. Leo thought it was impossible. On the contrary, he felt that Omniscient Chess might be related to the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge. The daily games invented by the forces of the people are regarded as sacred objects and promoted in the church, which makes people feel a little absurd.

Even though both the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge and the academic city of Teresa are based on learning, discussing and researching all kinds of knowledge as their core essence, this does not mean that the essence of the two is the same. In fact, their core ideas are completely contradictory. Even if there is some cooperation between the two, they will definitely not be regarded as allies, and they will not add prestige to each other.

Throughout the game of Omniscient Chess from its appearance to its promotion, to the recognition of the City of Academics, and finally to the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, it was designated as a holy relic, and senior clergymen were required to pass the test of omniscient chess before they could be promoted smoothly. The whole process seems to have a force pushing the omniscient chess to develop and improve continuously, and there is no obstacle or wrong way in the whole process.

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

Leo speculates that the Spirit of Knowledge Church got some training modules for the smart array program from some source. They can see that this module is good for the human brain, but they don't know if it has side effects. There are also not enough candidates to experiment and improve this mod. After all, the basic requirements for playing this mod are very high. In this world, there are only enough candidates for experimentation in this world. Only the academic of Teresa Kingdom. So the City of Academics is likely to be used by the Spirit of Knowledge Church.

As for whether the Academic City saw through the operation of the Spirit of Knowledge Church, he felt that perhaps the City of Knowledge 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 church clergy, They should find out. As for why they didn't ban Omniscient Chess, it was because Omniscient Chess was also beneficial to the scholars in Xuecheng.

It's just that the high-level officials of the academic city may not have thought that in the boring life of the academic city, there is a game that is almost perfect in the eyes of the scholars and is actually designed for them. How enthusiastic the scholars will show this game. , even addictive.

After the exchange team of Xuecheng restarted their journey, the head tutor, Delkan and others came to Leo every once in a while to play a game of omniscience. At first, it was just a one-on-one game, but later found that one-on-one could not cause Leo. After any difficulty, the rules of the game become one-to-many, and at most, even one-to-ten.

Although they didn't win once during the whole game, they still enjoyed it. In the end, they all became mentor chess. Because of the omniscience of chess, Leo, a non-academic city scholar, has become the exchange team of this academy city. The leader of the team, and even invited Leo and Sylvia to participate in several internal meetings of the team.

When the Xuecheng exchange team set off again, the size and number of the team had swelled by more than ten times. This was mainly because some caravans that were stranded in Dashu Town before also chose to go on the road with the exchange team of Xuecheng. The guards were integrated into the city's guard system, and they were completely sheltered under the exchange team of the academy.

Although the Kingdom of Teresa and its surrounding areas are among the best in the Old World in terms of security and stability, this does not mean that there is no need to worry about danger when walking in this area. It is in the deep mountains and mountains far away from the city, the greater the possible danger, and it is not even safer than those war-torn areas.

For human beings, the mountains of Teresa's Kingdom are definitely the best refuge. As long as they hide in the mountains, they will hardly be affected by the war from the outside world, but the same layers of mountains and dense forests are also those Cultists, heretics, and other inhuman evil beings hunted by the church are the best hiding places, and these beings wanted by the Church of True God outside have 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 heretics and cultists in the mountains as the primary national policy, and even did not hesitate to introduce the power of the Church of the True God to clear up the hidden dangers in the Teresa Mountains.

As for the church, they don't care whether they are used by Teresa Kingdom. They only care about heretics and cultists hiding in the mountains. For this reason, each True God Church has designated Teresa Kingdom Mountains as a test site and excludes themselves every year. The heretical hunting party and church knights came to hunt heretics and cultists in the mountains of Teresa Kingdom.

In less than two days after the Xuecheng team entered the mountain, they encountered the heretic hunting teams of three churches, and judging from the wounded in the team, their condition was not very good, and the news they brought also made The Xuecheng exchange team hesitated whether they should continue on the road.
