"So, has anyone finished the homework I left?"
He walked up to the podium and looked at the students below and asked.
Xu Zhi was a little curious. It sounded like the teacher had left a difficult question and didn't require every student to solve it?
Soon, someone stood up to answer his question.
"Teacher Qin, I think the star map you gave me foreshadows disaster."
The old man standing on the podium nodded: "And then?"
The student who answered "this" looked a little embarrassed and then shook his head.
"It's okay, sit down. Has anyone noticed anything more?"
Another student stood up and said, "Teacher Qin, the disaster predicted in the picture may have already happened, or may have already begun?"
She sounded a little unconfident when she said this, and looked at the teacher with a questioning look.
Fortunately, the old man was not the type to nitpick. He simply nodded gently and said, "You're right. You can be more confident next time. So, is there anything else?"
The student shook her head, and the old man motioned her to sit down.
"So, are there any other students who want to answer?"
The classroom fell into silence.
"It seems that there are no more." He shook his head regretfully. "It seems that the extra credits I promised to give to the whole class as long as someone can answer to my satisfaction are gone."
Um.?
Xu Zhi suddenly perked up. Extra points? What extra points?
Oh, that bonus point is no longer there.
Why are her classmates so unhelpful?
Xu Zhi really wanted to ask her to take a look too, but unfortunately, even if she came, she probably wouldn't understand it.
Because the basic tutorials of this course are also very complicated, and almost all of them start from scratch, such as what is the name of this star, what tools did humans use for divination or fortune-telling in ancient times, and what improvements have been made now, but how to look at it and how to do it specifically are not taught in the basic courses. She just let Xu Zhi learn a lot of "metaphysical" props and terms.
Seeing that no one answered, the old man projected the "homework" he had assigned before in front of him. Xu Zhi looked closely and saw that it was a photo of the night sky. The photo seemed to be shrouded in a layer of foggy shadows, and only dozens of exceptionally bright stars penetrated the fog and were frozen in the photo.
Xu Zhi frowned as she looked at the photo. As she had expected, even after seeing it with her own eyes, she still felt nothing.
However, the Internet in the real world is so developed that if this was a photo from the past, and was worthy of being assigned as an assignment, and was a photo that foreshadowed a disaster, it would inevitably leave traces on the Internet, especially since the teacher also said that he would give all the students extra credits if they were satisfied with the answers. In order to get credits, these students would definitely rack their brains and search the Internet.
Since the teacher dared to say this and assign this homework, this question probably wouldn't be an old question that can be easily searched on the Internet.
Xu Zhi felt that this photo should be recent.
What are some of the most recent disasters in the real world?
After nearly a week of self-study, Xu Zhi has gained a general understanding of the real world.
The real world was much larger than she had expected. It seemed that a small federation was less than a quarter of the size of the Lotus City where she was currently located.
In the real world, there are more than a hundred such cities, large and small.
A city is equal to a country, which means that there are actually more than a hundred countries in the real world.
And this is the surviving city left after the original "Cataclysm", when nearly half of the land and country were swallowed up by "mystery" and became the "Lost Land".
Of course, there were actually more than a hundred surviving cities, but because half of the world was swallowed up, many resources were lost. The remaining cities experienced a long war, and eventually many cities disappeared, establishing the current pattern.
According to historical records, before the "Great Cataclysm", also known as the "Night of the Fall of the World", this world also had extraordinary powers, but they were not as powerful and diverse as they are today. The extraordinary powers at that time were quite weak and poor.
As to what caused supernatural powers to suddenly begin to grow and develop rapidly after the catastrophe, there is no clear record in history books.
Xu Zhi searched the Internet but did not find an "official" and accurate statement. Most of the information was just guesses made by netizens.
One of the speculations that is more widely agreed upon is that the catastrophe caused the mutation of supernatural energy, and the source of the mutation of supernatural energy is in the "Lost Land". Therefore, the Lost Land has richer supernatural species and more supernatural energy, and the dangers throughout the Lost Land are used to protect the source of the mutation.
Perhaps if I get that thing, I can master the extraordinary origin of this world!
I have to admit that when Xu Zhi saw this speculation, he also imagined that if he could get that thing
But then she just took it as a joke. After all, it was just a guess without any basis. It was enough to just fantasize about it. If she really took it seriously, she would be crazy.
In short, this world is extremely huge, but fortunately, the Internet is very developed, and because of past catastrophes or other reasons, everyone is always very concerned about certain huge "disasters".
For example, even the upper class in this city will always pay attention to whether there is fog at the lower level. For example, even netizens who are thousands of miles away can know at any time through the Internet whether there is any major disaster thousands of miles away, and disasters are generally more likely to make headlines on the Internet.
Xu Zhi has also been checking the headlines every day lately to improve his understanding of the world, but...
She didn't see where the disaster happened.
While she was thinking, the teacher at the podium had already begun explaining the star map.
Xu Zhi had a hard time listening. She had never attended the class, and many of the knowledge points that the teacher had just briefly mentioned were new to her. She didn't quite understand their significance, but the teacher didn't seem to want to pay attention to her as a freshman, and he simply skipped over some of the knowledge that had been learned in class.
This also caused Xu Zhi to be a little confused, but she did not completely not understand. When she heard some knowledge points, she was able to quickly connect them with the "basic knowledge" in the book, and immediately realized that the brightness of the star and whether it was close to the stars next to it actually represented this meaning.
The old man explained many possible meanings of the star map, then pointed to what appeared to be a hazy mist on the map and said, "The mist obscures the destiny star and the path of destiny, denying anyone any glimpse. This is a very rare occurrence, the last time it happened was many years ago. It often indicates that something is about to happen, or is currently happening, that is extremely secretive."
