Chapter 1160: Appearance of A Saint, Life-and-Death Questions and Answers!

Sun Mo recalled the process of how he got acquainted with the old man. He then turned his eyes back onto Su Ji because she was the only legacy of the old man.
“Oh no, this item is simply incomprehensible. Who can decipher it?”
Yun Yao angrily kicked the metallic door.
Su Ji’s little face was filled with a disheartened expression. There was nothing more depressing than reaching a treasury but not being able to enter it.
“Su Su, stare at the wall closely. You must have learned the deciphering method before!”
Sun Mo said.
“Ah?”
Su Ji was stunned.
“Are you muddle-headed due to running a fever?”
Yun Yao stretched out her hand and touched Sun Mo’s forehead. “Su Ji is just a little girl that’s 7-years-old. According to her age, she would just be in primary two. Yet, you want her to solve the entrance riddle leading to Eden?”
“Don’t underestimate anyone!”
Sun Mo smiled and placed his bag down. He then started to set up a tent and prepared for a prolonged war.
Su Ji could see that Sun Mo didn’t seem to be joking and truly treated her as his hope. Her tiny face scrunched up and then she walked toward the door and began to seriously contemplate.
Her grandfather had said before that she must never let down those who believed in her!
(Even such an awesome big brother feels that I can do it…In that case, I should do my utmost.)
This contemplation lasted half a day, and it was now late night.
“Su Su, sleep earlier, you can look again tomorrow!”
Yun Yao squeezed herself into a sleeping bag and called out. However, she got out after discovering that Su Ji was still in a daze. She was preparing to give her more clothes so she could stay warm.
Yet, Su Ji suddenly leaped.
“I understand now. These symbols and pictures are a type of mathematical language. They should be able to reassemble into a certain formula. After solving the formula, we will be able to get the code to open this door.”
Su Ji was very excited. She flipped her notebook open and started her calculations.
A day!
Two days!
…
A month had passed.
Su Ji’s entire body became skinnier by one size.
“Why don’t you give up? The three of us can return back to the subway base to live. Those resources there are enough to last us until we die.”
Yun Yao sighed.
Su Ji only slept five hours every day. She would spend the rest of her time thinking before the metallic gate. If this continued, she might suffer from sudden death.
“You should go and seek Su Ji’s opinion!”
Sun Mo knew that after solving this, he should be able to clear the Black-White Game and return to the Nine Provinces. But after seeing how hard Su Ji was working, he also felt reluctant to see her suffer as well.
Yun Yao was a kind and innocent girl. Although Eden was so close to them, she would rather choose to give up decisively. Because from her point of view, the life of a friend was more important.
“Su Ji, let’s return home!”
Yun Yao pulled Su Ji up.
“Elder Sister Yun, when I was younger, my grandpa would teach me about mathematics every night and force me to do some weird math questions. I thought that I had talent for this subject. It is until now did I discover that my grandpa wanted to give the ‘key’ to me.”
As Su Ji spoke, she shook Yun Yao’s hand away. She walked to the metallic door and started to touch the symbols on it.
A minute later, she finished touching them 99 times and the metallic door began to unlock itself.
There was no sound. It simply slid to the right, and a tunnel with silver walls appeared before the three of them.
“Big brother, I’ve succeeded!”
Su Ji turned her head and smiled sweetly at Sun Mo. After that, she slipped into unconsciousness.
During this month, she had overdrafted too much of her mental energy.
Pak!
Sun Mo’s reaction was very fast, and he managed to catch hold of her.
“Thank you!”
Sun Mo suddenly understood that old man’s method.
When he had asked the old man back then why he wasn’t worried that he might abandon Su Su after knowing the coordinates, that old man had used three reasons to convince him. In reality, that was all a lie.
It was useless to only know of the coordinates. Because ‘Su Ji’ was then the key that could open the door to Eden. If Sun Mo thought that she was a burden and abandoned her, he would only feel more despair even if he could arrive here in the end.
In that case, Sun Mo would understand that he was the one who had thrown the key away, burying the only hope.
“Should we enter now?”
Yun Yao gulped down a mouthful of saliva and felt somewhat agitated. She also felt trepidation in her heart.
“Let’s wait for Su Su to wake up!”
Sun Mo wasn’t anxious. In any case, Eden was here. It couldn’t run away.
Su Ji only woke up two hours later. After finishing the nutritious meal Sun Mo had prepared for her, only then did the three of them enter Eden.
After moving cautiously for a long time, Sun Mo confirmed that this tiny ecosphere had its own natural environment and its own city.
“Be more careful!”
Sun Mo reminded them. This was because he saw an old man who was reading a book at a desk in a library.
Upon hearing footsteps, the old man lifted his head and stared at the three of them in astonishment.
He didn’t expect that there would be people capable of finding their way here!
“Hi, guys!”
The old man smiled and stood in welcome.
“Hello!”
Yun Yao and Su Ji felt a little ill at ease. This was because they sensed a unique demeanor from this old man. He didn’t look strong, but his eyes were extremely bright as though he was capable of seeing through the entire world.
This must be a very learned scholar!
Yet, Sun Mo held his handgun tightly and was preparing to fire any time. As for asking questions, the innocent girl Yun Yao would definitely take the initiative to speak.
“Eden? This is the place!”
The old man spoke calmly, “There are indeed many embryos, seeds, and knowledge preserved here.”
Yun Yao and Su Ji excitedly asked questions, like they had found the seed of hope. However, Sun Mo could sense something strange from the old man’s attitude.
He was too calm, as though he didn’t give a damn about this world.
Wait a minute!
Didn’t give a damn?
Only players from the Nine Provinces wouldn’t care about these NPCs, right?
Sun Mo stared at the old man and suddenly interrupted. “May I ask what is the esteemed name of this great teacher?”
Swish~
The old man’s gaze immediately turned over. It was filled with judgment at first but soon turned into one of gratification.
“What is your name? Who is your personal teacher?”
From the viewpoint of this old man, the only ones that would say the words ‘great teacher’ were the people from the Nine Provinces. And those who could play the Black-White Games were probably only students from the Black-White Academy.
They were all the children of his home.
This old man was none other than Headmaster Song. It had been over five years since he entered the Black-White Game.
“Student is named Sun Mo, a great teacher from the Central Province Academy!”
Sun Mo bowed.
This old man might be a Saint. Hence, Sun Mo used the etiquette of a disciple toward him.
“Central Province Academy? That school belonging to Headmaster An?”
Headmaster Song’s brows furrowed. He then raged. “Old Wan has truly become muddle-headed, how can he allow great teachers from other famous schools to come to such a perilous place?”
From Headmaster Song’s point of view, these outsiders could just play the easier black-white games. Letting them play this game where it might be impossible for them to come back was simply too reckless.
However, Headmaster Song could also deduce that Sun Mo must be someone overflowing with talent and was a superstar that had recently risen. If not, he wouldn’t be qualified to get Wan Kangcheng’s permission to enter the game.
“How many stars do you have now?” Headmaster Song casually asked. “Is everything regarding the Black-White Academy still fine?”
“I obtained the 4-stars ranking last year!” Sun Mo’s attitude was respectful. “Everything is fine with your esteemed school!”
“4-stars?”
Headmaster Song surveyed Sun Mo and felt somewhat shocked. In this game, one’s appearance wouldn’t change. Hence, Sun Mo appeared to be slightly over 20 years old. This was actually such a young 4-stars…
“How old are you?”
Headmaster Song grew curious.
“When I entered the game, I was 22 years old!”
Sun Mo sighed. He had stayed a total of almost ten years in game time.
“…”
Headmaster Song felt somewhat astonished. Usually, a graduate teacher would work as an intern and they would be about 20 years old. Sun Mo was just 22 years old. This meant that he had only worked for two years and had obtained the 4-stars title.
Wait a minute!
The main point wasn’t this. (How the hell did you obtain 4 stars within two years?)
It was definitely impossible to cheat. After all, such good results would be spread widely through the great teacher circle. If one entered through the backdoor, it would surely be exposed.
(Wait another minute!)
(4-stars in two years, he must have cleared the examinations in one stretch. I remember that the current record in the great teacher world was something created by the current sect lord of the Saint Gate, but he had merely passed three great teacher examinations in one stretch!)
“You rose to 4-stars in a single stretch?”
Headmaster Song was stunned. “You just became a great teacher, and you are merely 22 years old!”
“I was lucky!”
Sun Mo was modest.
“Might I be so impudent as to ask you about the content of each exam?”
Headmaster Song had to be sure. Was this man too talented? Or was the current standard of the Saint Gate’s examination too low?
Sun Mo reported factually. The first two great teacher examinations were normal, but when Headmaster Song heard that the third examination was held at the Dragon Subduing Academy, he immediately started frowning.
A major character like him was naturally privy to some information in the great teacher world.
Setting the exam venue in the territory of barbarians was extremely hostile toward people from the Central Plains. He had thought that Sun Mo’s luck was bad. But when he heard that the exam venue for the 4-stars examination had been in the Ancient Sage Building, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Did you offend a major character?”
Usually speaking, lecturing in the Ancient Sage Building was something for the 6-stars examination. And someone who could directly influence the content of the great teacher examinations should be a secondary saint.
“I offended a secondary saint!”
There was nothing embarrassing about this. In any case, the grudge between Sun Mo and Secondary Saint Zhou was known to everyone now.
“…”
Even a major character like Headmaster Song, who had seen the ways of the world, couldn’t help but want to flash Sun Mo a thumbs-up and remark how bold Sun Mo was!
He had just joined the industry and already offended Secondary Saint Zhou. (Are you not a little too brazen?)
The most terrifying thing was that despite him being under the suppression of a secondary saint, he still created the record of clearing four examinations in one stretch. (Are you still a human?)
Headmaster Song, who had cultivated to the point where he was no longer affected by glory or insults, was currently filled with envy toward Sun Mo.
“Don’t misunderstand. My personality is very kind. The conflict between me and Secondary Saint Zhou was all because of my eldest disciple!”
Sun Mo hurriedly explained everything.
This was a Saint, the headmaster of the Black-White Academy. Even if they couldn’t become friends, he should try his best not to let Headmaster Song assume that he was a young and brazen lad that didn’t know how to respect his elders.
“Old Zhou has made a wrong judgment this time around.”
Headmaster Song sighed. “Oh right, do you still have any other titles of honor?”
“It wouldn’t be too good if I said them myself, right?”
Sun Mo chortled. He mused that even if he said it, this old man might not believe him.
“It’s a good thing to be humble, but there’s a need to let others know how outstanding you are!”
Headmaster Song encouraged.
“I’m a great ancestor-level spirit runist!”
Sun Mo spoke and almost caused Headmaster Song to fall in shock.
“Huh?”
Headmaster Song silently mused whether it was because it had been too long since he last interacted with a human that he couldn’t understand human language now?
“I said that I’m a great ancestor-level spirit runist!”
Sun Mo paused and added. “If I proclaimed myself as the number one spirit runist in the Nine Provinces, no one would dare to refute that!”
“…”
Headmaster Song didn’t know what expression he should make. (A 22-year-old great ancestor? I’m afraid you bragged so much that all the cows in Nine Provinces have died.)
“See, I knew you wouldn’t believe me!”
Sun Mo shrugged.
“Have you competed with Bai Wenzhang before?”
Headmaster Song was curious.
“Last year, he invited me to head to the Dragonspirit Manor as a guest to do some operations for him. He also wanted me to inherit the Dragonspirit Manor, but I refused to accept it.”
(After thinking carefully, I really seem to be very awesome!)
“…”
Headmaster Song believed it now. He had met Bai Wenzhang before. Someone that the dean admired would surely not be bad. “Do you have other titles of honor?”
“Is there still a need to say?”
Sun Mo counter-asked.
“…”
Headmaster Song scolded himself for being too mouthy. A 22-year-old great ancestor-level spirit runist…this achievement was something the vast majority of great teachers wouldn’t be able to have even in their entire lives. So, even if Sun Mo didn’t have any more accomplishments from now onward, he would still be able to leave behind his name in the history of the great teacher world.
(But I’m very curious!)
“How about introducing yourself? In any case, you won’t lose a piece of your flesh even if you do that.”
Headmaster Song teased. His attitude also became relatively friendlier.
Given his experience, he could tell Sun Mo’s innate character. Moreover, since he could survive in this difficult world and had brought a young woman and a girl with him to Eden after experiencing countless suffering, this indicated that he was extremely intelligent, courageous, and had high morals.
“Forget it, I will be embarrassed!”
Sun Mo rejected and changed the topic. “Headmaster Song, there should be a condition to clear this level, right?”
“Yes.” Headmaster Song nodded. “Follow me!”
Yun Yao was clueless. She went to Su Ji’s side and whispered. “What are they talking about? Why do I understand every word, but when the words join together, they don’t make sense at all?”
“Because you are stupid!”
Su Ji definitely wouldn’t admit that she didn’t understand either.
Sun Mo followed Headmaster Song to a control room. They then stood before the main control platform.
“On the screen, there is a question. If you can answer correctly, we should be able to clear the game!”
Headmaster Song didn’t inform Sun Mo what question it was. This was because there was a warning on the screen that forbade those who attempted the test before to tell it to another person. If not, the Black-White Star Disk would directly explode.
Sun Mo stood before the main control platform. A virtual screen immediately projected from the apparatus.
A question immediately appeared!
“When you have an opportunity to lead humanity to rebuild civilization, would you choose not to interfere and allow them to evolve independently or would you guide them and plan out a path for them?
“If your answer is correct, you will clear the Black-White Game. If your answer is wrong, your consciousness will be wiped and the Black-White Star Disk will explode.”
“Note: The explosive might of the star disk is equal to a nuclear bomb that is 100 million tons of TNT.”
When Sun Mo saw this, his heart was filled with shock. If he answered wrongly, one of the Nine Provinces would be finished.
“Please take note that you only have one minute to answer the question. If you don’t answer, it will be deemed as you have given up and will lose the opportunity to answer the question forever!”
“Countdown begins now!”
60!
59!
…
Although Sun Mo was answering questions, Headmaster Song’s heart was filled with anxiousness. When he was answering the question, he was scared badly by the warning of a nuclear bomb.
In the game, Headmaster Song had personally seen the might of a nuclear bomb. Once the star disk exploded, the entire Black-White Academy would turn into dust as millions of people would die.
The price was too great.
“Sun Mo must be struggling badly and feeling very agonized!”
Headmaster Song sighed.
Most probably, even if one spent their entire lives here, they wouldn’t be able to get the answer. Now that one was forced to give the answer within a minute, it was simply impossible.
“Young man, even if you are the number one spirit runist in the Nine Provinces, you will still be very helpless when coming face to face with such a question!”
Just when this thought appeared in his mind, Headmaster Song’s eyes widened abruptly. This was because Sun Mo had slammed his palm onto the red button of the apparatus.
This indicated that Sun Mo had given his answer.
Moreover, he didn’t even wait for the countdown to reach the last second!
“It’s over, my Black-White Academy, my students!”
Headmaster Song’s expression was akin to dead ashes..
