- #144 - Chapter 144 World-class chess game
After clearing away the fog, everything became clear, and Ian also clearly saw the message that had been hidden in the apocalypse.
Many things that confused him before are now clear. Including the previous extreme weather changes, all the changes were exactly the layout of the two chess players before they started playing chess…
Ian did not intend to return just like this, he also wanted to see what fungi could do. Now that I think about it, the exotic flowers and plants all over the mountains and plains are obviously breeding warehouses.
“I need to collect some…”
He knows that this is a rare opportunity, and many things now are the first gestation, or the product of immaturity. But the more you do this, the more interesting or useful things you will find.
Along the way, Ian was basically not idle. Whenever he encountered different weird plants, he collected some and stored them.
The strange-looking plant in front of him is the largest plant he has discovered so far. A shrub over five meters high, with thick branches twisted together absurdly, covered with spiky leaves, each one the size of an adult’s hand.
These leaves are like claws, guarding a flower on the trunk of the branch. But in Ian’s opinion, this is more like an egg that is pregnant with life. It is oval in shape and about 70 centimeters in height. It is dark purple in color. The tree trunks wrapped around the egg are more like nutrient delivery tubes.
But he didn’t pick them directly like he encountered those plants before. Because when he got close to the dark purple egg, he felt a familiar feeling, not a familiar feeling like a relative.
Rather, it comes from the affinity of the Phoenix bloodline.
This made him a little confused, because he didn’t waste a drop of the phoenix blood he got from Dumbledore. Even the bottle that Irene drank eventually turned into the Gubler Fairy Fire, which logically cannot be copied.
But since there were doubts, he didn’t plan to pick it directly.
First, mark it with magic so that it can be used for Apparition next time, and you can also keep an eye on its changes at any time to see what kind of thing this thing can give birth to.
Ian is not arrogant. He knows very well that in a game of this level, neither player will take the initiative to provoke the spectators before the winner is determined.
Especially the collective consciousness of fungi, because its intelligence is obviously higher, so this leaves him too much room for manipulation. But Ian also understands that these are situations where he chooses to be neutral, rather than openly leaning towards one side.
“What is art? It is not a momentary fireworks, nor an eternal existence. Art is a silent deviation…”
I have already set a macro policy in my heart, which is to go astray. He would quietly help whichever side was weak, hiding behind and quietly maintaining the balance.
Only if they can maintain this stalemate is the most beneficial situation for him.
“This feels…so good.” Ian murmured excitedly.
This feeling of pulling chestnuts out of the fire made ripples appear in his already calm inner lake, and the long-lost vitality once again filled his body.
After completing three awakenings, he was a little messed up. In the absence of external threats, he was just a salty fish, but the end of the world quietly gave him such a big surprise.
Only this level of gaming can make his heart beat faster, instead of the original life of stagnant water.
Thinking of this, Ian accelerated the collection of specimens. Even if he was biased, he had to thoroughly understand the actual level of the two players.
…
A few hours later, Ian returned to his office building again.
Looking at the dilapidated building, he couldn’t help but frown. It’s obvious that this place is no longer suitable for living. Both the surrounding environment and the internal space are somewhat inferior.
“It’s time to find a new stronghold…” Ian thought to himself.
Now that all his things are in his infinitely extending pocket, there is nothing left to miss here.
“Thunderbolt explosion!” Along with the curse, the tip of the wand flashed with orange-red light, and the office building in front of him that had been with him for a long time was instantly blasted with precision, and at the same time, smoke and dust tens of meters high were splashed.
He activated the broomstick under him and left without looking back. His last memories in this city disappeared.
“I need to find a suitable place to live for a long time…”
He didn’t want to find a particularly secluded place, such as a cave or a canyon, and he wasn’t a sewer rat hiding in fear of the light.
On the contrary, Ian wanted to find a plain area and let them see it openly. Firstly, it was to paralyze the sight of both parties, and secondly, it was out of interest. He knew very clearly that when he did not completely fall to the other side, the location he was in was a restricted area and a place of absolute peace.
Having read a novel in his previous life, he was envious of those real top bosses, such as the ‘Emperor’s Life Forbidden Zone’ and the like, and his standards should not be too high.
“How about calling it the Peace Hotel…” Ian’s mind was already wandering to nowhere at this moment.
…
Flying all the way south, the dense jungles, vast wilderness, and rapid rivers… all demonstrate the power of the majesty. Everything in the world is evolving against the clock as if the fast forward button has been pressed, but on the surface it looks calm and calm.
Ian instantly imagined two old men playing chess, sitting opposite each other and giving way to each other. However, there were endless little tricks under the table, and they were trying their best to maintain the appearance of being a worldly expert.
He knew very well that at the current rate of evolutionary change, it wouldn’t be long before a new civilization would be born here, and it would be a very targeted civilization.
It just made him a little worried. There was obviously no extraordinary power in this world. Even Si Beer, who was the first to appear wise, still relied mainly on physical power.
But the dark purple giant egg just discovered obviously had a mysterious aura about it.
“Perhaps… this game was not fair from the beginning.” Ian understood that everything might not be what he thought.
Fairness only exists in books. This world is probably at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning. The appearance of Sibeer may be just the last bargaining chip in the world. The game may not have just begun, but it may be the key to victory.
Various speculations emerged in Ian’s mind, but he did not panic at all. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In this world-class game, the outcome will never be known until the last moment.
However, this only strengthened the previous idea, letting myself stay on the bright side, and if one party couldn’t hold on, I would take the initiative to contact him.
And Ian never thought that he was hidden. Perhaps he was noticed by both parties from the beginning, but he was just too weak and ignored.
This gave him time to grow, and his growth rate was too rapid, from being taken seriously to not being ignored, without giving them any time to react.
