Learn one small skill every day

This game of chess has progressed to its final endgame. To solve it, you need to put in some effort and study it carefully.

Bai Miao's current Go level is not high; at most, he's at the professional 5-dan level.

It's impossible to solve this kind of chess game in a short time.

"I'll take another look at this when I have time."

"Oh, whatever you do, go ahead and do it."

Tu Shanqing didn't care whether Bai Miao could produce it or not; he had given him the item, and Bai Miao could do whatever he wanted with it.

Bai Miao also felt it was quite magical; he could travel around and even pick up a fragment of the Heavenly Dao along the way.

Has my luck really turned around?

No, it should be said that Tu Shanqing was just lucky.

The summit of Mount Hua was already crowded with people eager to see the sunrise.

"Luckily, we climbed relatively quickly..."

Zhao Wanyang also found the best viewing spot, and the group patiently gazed at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, waiting for the sun to slowly rise.

A red glow appeared on the horizon, and the crowd on the mountaintop immediately became excited, grabbing their cameras to capture the moment.

As the first rays of sunlight touched the mountaintop, the crowd erupted in cheers.

"Last time I got into an online argument, someone said I was like the rising sun. Now that I think about it, he was actually praising me?"

Even Tu Shanqing rarely sees such scenery. The mountains and forests are familiar places to her, but Tu Shanqing never has the leisure to climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise.

Tu Shanqing initially didn't understand why so many humans would stay up all night, climb such high mountains, and exhaust themselves just to see a short section of the sunrise.

But when she saw these sights with her own eyes, she seemed to understand something.

People in this era are no longer pursuing food and clothing, but rather spiritual comfort.

Welcoming the sunrise at the mountaintop is a spiritual baptism, and even physical fatigue seems to disappear.

Zhao Wanyang took out a selfie stick and called for the group to take a group photo.

"Look at the camera, everyone! Three, two, one, cheese!"

In the photo, Tu Shanqing is standing on tiptoe, only showing half of her face in the lower right corner of the screen. Bai Miao is wearing a professional smile, while Zhao Wanyang is tilting her head and unconsciously moving closer to Bai Miao.

The group didn't walk any further down the mountain; instead, they chose to take the cable car directly.

"I'm exhausted... Let's catch up on some sleep this afternoon, and then take the evening train to the next stop."

Zhao Wanyang planned to travel north all the way to Qing City to see the sea.

However, Bai Miao's luck did not improve as much after that at Mount Hua.

Originally, we were hoping that Tu Shanqing would find some good things at the later scenic spots, but all Tu Shanqing did was take the opportunity to steal and eat the nearly depleted dragon veins.

Teasing Zhao Wanyang, on the other hand, became an indispensable part of Tu Shanqing's daily travels.

Zhao Wanyang was no match for the cunning fox spirit Tu Shanqing, and she was always infuriated by her.

Fortunately, Zhao Wanyang kept convincing herself that Tu Shanqing was just Bai Miao's distant cousin, and that she shouldn't stoop to the level of a child.

Before they knew it, it was the last night of their trip. Tomorrow morning, the group would take a plane back to Jiangcheng, ending their short but wonderful travel experience.

The room arrangements for the group these past few days have been relatively conservative. Bai Miao was nominally to take care of Tu Shanqing, so the two of them were arranged to share a room.

The other two couples also stayed separately, with the boys in one room and the girls in another.

Zhao Wanyang, who was left out, stayed in a room by herself.

Tu Shanqing lay on the bed, legs crossed, looking around: "There's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"What's the matter?"

"You should be pretty smart, you know what your class monitor is thinking when he's so eager to ask you out."

Bai Miao said "Oh," and then added, "That just shows you're oversimplifying things."

Tu Shanqing flipped over and stood on the bed: "My sense of smell is very sensitive. I can smell the hormones emanating from her, especially when she's close to you, the feeling is even stronger."

At this point, Tu Shanqing jumped excitedly onto Bai Miao's bed: "So what about you? What are your plans?"

"Can you please stop being so gossipy?"

Just as Bai Miao was about to kick Tu Shanqing off the bed, a golden light flashed in Tu Shanqing's eyes, and he increased the force in his hand, pressing Bai Miao back onto the bed.

Bai Miao then remembered that Tu Shanqing had been consuming a lot of dragon veins during this period, and his body's power had recovered considerably.

"Are you serious?"

"I'm just helping you confront your inner self."

Bai Miao remained silent, only gently shaking his head.

"I have no intention of accepting anyone's feelings. In other words, I don't have much of a sense of belonging."

Bai Miao also couldn't understand why he had become like this.

At a time when most high school students are developing romantic feelings, I felt absolutely no desire for anything.

In fact, even in his previous life, Bai Miao had never experienced similar emotions.

He's always been busy making money.

"Then why don't you explain it more clearly?"

Bai Miao laughed: "I've already told you, you don't understand the class monitor at all. You think she organized the trip just to get a response from me?"

Tu Shanqing was taken aback: "Isn't that right?"

“She’s already the one knocking on the door. She knows that anyone could die at any time, and under those circumstances, she wouldn’t establish this kind of relationship. What she’s doing now is just trying to create some memories for the two of them.”

"That sounds like she has quite a lot of ambition."

"Among the many knockers, the class monitor considered herself to be among the less outstanding ones, and that's why she was afraid of becoming the one who would suddenly die."

Bai Miao sat up in bed: "She did this so that she wouldn't have any regrets before she died. In other words, she was trying to live each day as if it were her last, and treating each instance as if it were her last."

Tu Shanqing scratched her head: "I still don't quite understand. What about you?"

"Me?" Bai Miao sighed. "I don't think I'll die in the dungeon, and I can't die. I also won't let her die. As long as there's a dungeon where I exist, I'll help everyone survive."

"Now she has the foundation to grow into a top knocker, and I will help her grow."

"I hope that one day, the class monitor will be able to believe that she is not a nobody who could die in a dungeon at any time."

Tu Shanqing seemed to understand but not quite: "I knew I shouldn't have talked to you so much, it's too troublesome."

Bai Miao seized the opportunity to ask in return, "You've talked about so many other people, but what about you? You went to great lengths to come and find me, even crossing your own door. What are your own thoughts on that?"

Tu Shanqing's ears perked up: "I already said I'm here to fulfill the final contract, don't flatter yourself, okay? Ugh!"

With that, Tu Shanqing punched Bai Miao in the chest and ran to her own bed: "There are so many fun things here, and I had nowhere else to go, so I stayed here."

"Oh, I believe you."

"Don't believe pull it down."

Just as Bai Miao had predicted, Zhao Wanyang didn't make any further remarks until she returned home after the trip. She simply chatted with Bai Miao privately on the Knock on the Door network to encourage him for the upcoming team dungeon.

After returning home, with one day left before the next dungeon run, Bai Miao simply took out the chessboard and began to study it.

After watching for a long time, Bai Miao felt dizzy and his head was spinning. When he saw Tu Shanqing frantically typing on the keyboard in the room, Bai Miao suddenly realized that there was a big problem with his thinking.

The ancients were said to have a half-game advantage over fate; just how high could their skill level have been?

Even if it were higher, could it outperform AI today?

Do you even understand the brute-force method in computers?

"Excuse me, I need to use the computer."

Bai Miao chased Tu Shanqing away from the computer.

"What are you doing! I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"I'm going to use a computer to solve this puzzle."

"what?!"

Tu Shanqing never expected that it could be played like this.

Standing aside, watching Bai Miao operate the computer in a way she couldn't understand, setting up an environment that could calculate the next move in Go, she couldn't help but exclaim, "You're a computer expert too, why don't you teach me these things?"

"Are you going to go around opening boxes for people? I have to say, buying this server for you was definitely the right decision, otherwise the computing power really wouldn't be enough."

It only took five hours for Bai Miao to successfully run his AI tool.

Input the endgame information from the chessboard, and the server roars to life.

An hour later, the results came out.

Seeing the results on the screen, Bai Miao broke out in a cold sweat.

"I see……"

Bai Miao felt more admiration for this ancient man who had outmaneuvered fate.

Although Bai Miao solved the puzzle in a way that was almost like cheating, his awe was no less.

Bai Miao placed the chessboard on the ground and bowed, saying, "I have already solved the chess game left by you, senior. I will now take the contents of the board."

As he spoke, Bai Miao bit his fingertip and dripped the blood onto the upper left corner of the chessboard.

Tu Shanqing also opened his mouth and exclaimed, "So this move was only possible by putting oneself in a desperate situation to survive, using suicide to create wealth, thus winning half a move against fate."

In an instant, golden light shone brightly inside the room, and a fragment filled with invisible power of rules floated in the void.

Chapter 254 Fragments of Time

"Oh, it seems I've found something good. The power of this fragment is no less than that of my Fertile Soil."

Tu Shanqing looked at the fragments in the air with some curiosity.

"Take it if you want it."

After completing the contract with Tu Shanqing, Bai Miao was also able to use the Heavenly Dao power that Tu Shanqing possessed. Although there was a slight difference in transmission compared to using it directly, he did not feel any inconvenience.
