Chapter 56 - Breaking The Alarm
Edited by NZRose
Mr. Meng said that Shangling Dreamscape was just a big dream and he was the dream mediator.
If the whole Shangling Dreamscape is regarded as a holographic online game, the setting of Mr. Meng is undoubtedly the core intelligent system.
Does Mr. Meng truly exist in reality?
Lin Shu doesn’t know, but whenever he remembers the figure of Mr. Meng standing in the wind at the pavilion on the top of the mountain above the sea of clouds, and the boundless emptiness and loneliness in that figure, he could not be regarded as a pure system.
The man that Lingxiao mentioned, who can create the Shangling Dreamscape, must be a great genius. If he can make 108 kinds of solutions to the Zhenlong Chess Game, he must have an excellent comprehension and an extremely powerful soul. With these two kinds of skills, his cultivation level must be really high.
But in the chaos of war, under the iron hooves of thousands of horses and troops, even if it is the body of the catastrophe itself, who can resist it with his own strength alone?
Not to mention that in this world, cultivators are not separated from the world. Of course, there are immortal masters with profound cultivations in Southern Xia, and there are also powerful witches in Northern Xia. When the two armies are facing each other, the fight will not only be based on the strength of the forces, but also on the cultivations of the masters on both sides.
And with one’s own strength, night guarding the lonely city——
Lin Shu could not imagine.
This precarious world is much crueler than he thought.
He recollected his thoughts and looked at the chess game in front of him.
Born in troubled times, it is difficult to even save one’s life. The only way ahead is to work hard to improve cultivation.
After Lingxiao next to him finished speaking, he had already begun to break the game.
He placed a red exquisite bead in the center of the chess game and then began to arrange exquisite beads around it.
Everyone’s way is different. Lingxiao’s solution is based on his own considerations, which can’t be imitated by others. Lin Shu withdrew his gaze and began to observe the chess game in front of him.
These exquisite beads vary in sizes and colors. After looking for their types, Lin Shu found that they roughly corresponded with Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams; Qiantian, Duize, Lihuo, Zhenlei, Xunfeng, Kanshui, Genshan, and Kundi.
Each type of exquisite bead has its own laws of spiritual power flow, and the spiritual currents extending from it are also different, but they all absorb spiritual power from the outside while releasing spiritual power at the same time. In addition, there are two types of Yin and Yang; One can produce spiritual power, while the other consumes spiritual power.
Lin Shu first tried to combine a few exquisite beads, trying to figure out the principle of the interconnection of spiritual flows.
These exquisite beads form a small system. At best, this system was self-consistent. The spiritual power can be completely independent of the outside world, circulating and reproducing. But it was also simple. If there were only a few exquisite beads, it was easy to form a self-consistent system. However, once more beads were added, the situation becomes much more complicated. If all the 1,800 beads were used, he then tried his best to circulate the spiritual power. The amount of calculation was really unimaginable and it was very difficult to test the spiritual soul.
First of all, it was necessary to determine a theoretically feasible framework for this chess game.
At this time, the disciple of the Sword Pavilion on the other side suddenly waved his hands – unexpectedly, he broke up all the previous structures and started again!
Obviously, he found a loophole in his game and couldn’t finish it, so he decided to start over.
This movement shows the difficulty of the chess game!
Lin Shu settled his mind and thought about a feasible framework model.
As for the theory of spiritual power circulation, his first thought was the interpretation in his Sect Master’s mind method and Sword Technique.
It is said that when the sword is drawn out of its sheath, its spiritual force rises from one Qi, and goes forward with the sword’s momentum.
If you want to make a metaphor, the direction of spiritual force is like an elongated pyramid. At first, the spiritual forces interweave and the foundation is solid. Then, as it moves forward, the more it compresses, the simpler the spiritual flow becomes, and only flows forward in one breath-then, it becomes more solid and sharp until finally, the tip of the sword is a bit cold, sharp, and unbreakable.
Lin Shu intends to use this as the framework of the chess game to connect the ordinary exquisite beads according to this rule, and then use Yin and Yang to solve the problem of the source and destination of spiritual force.
After confirming the framework, he began to observe the spiritual force direction of each exquisite bead, remembering and madly imagining what kind of beads could be connected to each other. After connecting the overall spiritual power direction, what will happen, if other exquisite beads are added—-
Fortunately, although his cultivation base is gone, the strength of his soul has not changed and it is still the same as in the previous life. Otherwise, the combination of a hundred exquisite beads with a mortal body is already the limit— after all, the human brain is not a supercomputer, and there are not so many computing units.
He deduced intently, and after about an hour, he felt that he had roughly figured out the principle, and started to assemble the beads.
The school is located in the extreme north, and many sword techniques have the air of ice and snow. Therefore, he chose to use the Bead of Kanshui as the foundation and connect the other exquisite beads around.
In the world of black and white chess, it is most forbidden to take one step at a time, you need to take one step and set ten moves. This is also true of this exquisite chess game, even looking at fifty moves to one hundred moves— After all, there are more than 1800 pieces on the entire board. Once something goes wrong, the more loopholes accumulate, the bigger the loopholes will become, and they may not be able to be corrected.
After an hour, he combined one hundred and fifty-three chess pieces.
Three hours later, four hundred and eighteen.
Six hours later, six hundred and seventy-two.
After that, the more pieces he needs to consider, the slower the speed!
Lin Shu felt that his soul had become scorching hot due to endless calculations, and his whole body was slightly dizzy.
However, he still has to continue.
Eight hours.
Ten hours.
He felt that he was on the verge of death.
Just when he was in a trance and about to blackout, a pill was suddenly pressed on his mouth.
After he saw that the person in front of him was Lingxiao, he obediently swallowed the medicine.
The pill quickly dissipated, his mind cleared a lot, and his tight mind was slightly relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief. After a few violent heartbeats, he gradually returned to normal, and he felt a sense of escape.
He saw Lingxiao observing his chess game.
In response, he temporarily moved his gaze away from his chess game to observe Lingxiao’s chess game.
Most part of Lingxiao’s chess game has been completed, with a bead from fire as its center, and the rest of the beads surrounding it like stars arching over the moon.
He suddenly thought, if the Big Miss was here, what kind of chess game would be formed?
If Lingxiao was in front of this chess game, it seems that it was also suitable.
Seeing him watching the chess game, Lingxiao smiled. He looked good. The smile was like a peacock on the screen. He was very coquettish, which made Lin Shu very puzzled. After watching Lingxiao’s chess game, he took a short breath and continued to ponder over his chess game. Lingxiao also turned back to set his chess pieces.
Two more hours later, 1600 chess pieces have been connected to each other, and the spiritual power flows in from all directions, converging forward, compressing, and gradually solidifying and refining.
The rest of the work is to use Yin and Yang to solve the source and destination of spiritual power.
In theory, the system was completed.
But when Lin Shu picked up a Yang bead, his brain suddenly became blank and found the problem.
It was a system that doesn’t make ends meet.
If Linglong beads do not absorb spiritual power from the outside world but are all provided by Yang beads – the limited spiritual powers collide with each other in the process of moving forward, and a large part of it escapes. When they’ve reached the top, they were no longer able to absorb the spiritual power, which was not the theoretical value at all. There would be a lot of Yin beads that are responsible for consuming spiritual power-while Yin and Yang coexist, the spiritual power absorbed by the Yin beads returns to the Yang beads, and after the next round of transmission, the spiritual power of the entire system would become less and less, and finally, it would be cooled off.
This was actually a physics problem.
Perpetual motion machines were not feasible.
He don’t know why Lin Shu feels that the shadow of modern physics has been hovering over his head.
He felt suffocated.
But when he turned his gaze to Lingxiao’s chess game, his heart suddenly became more balanced.
There was no other reason. This person also encountered a little problem.
His chess game overflowed with spiritual power.
Those chess pieces passed their spiritual power up layer by layer, and after some complicated structures, all converged on the central red bead, those spiritual powers had nowhere to go.
Lingxiao did not put the Yin and Yang beads at the end like Lin Shu did, but continued to combine them from the beginning. Perhaps, there were some structural problems, and the absorption function of Yin beads has not been brought into full play. In the end, the system actually passes that and continuously releases their spiritual power through the Lihuo bead.
Lin Shu: “….”
Lingxiao: “…”
For a while, both were silent.
According to the rules of the chess game, they were actually enough to pass the game. But Lin Shu thinks that a good man like his cousin must’ve wanted to be perfect, and at this time it must be a bit uncomfortable. He wondered if he would be like the Sword Pavilion disciple over there, who knocked down the whole chess game and started over again.
Just thinking about it, he saw Lingxiao picking up the core of the Lihuo bead with no expression on his face.
——Perhaps he is really going to overthrow the game and start again, the Ling family are definitely ruthless people.
Lin Shu nearly exclaimed, and suddenly saw Lingxiao walking towards him with the bead and dozens of faint silver threads in his hand.
Lin Shu: “?”
Lin Shu saw Ling Xiao put the Lihuo bead together with his Kanshui bead on the top!
A silver thread lit up between the two exquisite beads.
This kind of move, it was beyond his imagination.
In this way, he did not have enough, and Lingxiao’s was overflowing. It seems feasible.
Lin Shu looked at Lingxiao’s chess game, then at his own, and began to silently ponder the direction of this new overall spiritual power.
It seems that… Was it really feasible?
Just then he heard Lingxiao said: “If you and I are in the same chess game, we can see that the ways complement each other. It may be assumed that with the sword, we can also match harmoniously.”
Lin Shu looked at Lingxiao and found that he was looking at the chess game. Although his voice was very soft, his eyes were serious and even gentle.
Their chess games were indeed compatible. As long as they connect the two exquisite beads, the problems of the two chess games would be solved, the spiritual power would be connected, and the flow would be unimpeded.
And his chess arrangement depends on his master’s swordsmanship and mental skills. It is not unreasonable if he wants to rise to the “Tao”.
But, cousin, I think what you said is a bit inappropriate.
These kinds of remarks generally do not happen between people in our relationship. The wording needs to be changed.
When they were thinking about it, all of a sudden, the two chessboards lit up. The silver thread between the exquisite beads turned into a shining golden thread, and then turned into fog and disappeared slowly. This world, where they were currently also faintly trembles and shakes, which seemed to be the precursor of collapse.
Lin Shu’s heart made a great alarm.
He has already ruined the Shangling Dreamscape once, do you want him to get into trouble again this time?
