Second floor.
Shi Chaobi was setting up a Go board.
Su Yu came up and beckoned, "Sit down, you hold the white."
"I can't," Su Yu replied decisively.
Shi Chaobi: ......
"It's okay, just remember to surround it with four of them."
Su Yu sat down and began playing chess with Shi Chaobi.
After a short while, Shi Chaobi gave up.
"You can learn Go if you have the chance."
"When you encounter a bottleneck in the future, you can try to start from one aspect and understand it by analogy, okay?"
Su Yu nodded obediently: "Understood, Governor."
Shi Chaobi stood up: "Li Cheng'an asked you to come up and collect your reward."
"If I tell you now that being the top scorer is the greatest reward, do you think I'm lying to you?"
“No, since the governor said so, there must be a reason,” Su Yu replied immediately.
Shi Chaobi smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"The college entrance examination many years ago was different from the one now."
"Back then, the college entrance examination mainly tested one's blood and qi and academic scores."
"The highest combined score of the two is the top scholar."
"Do you know why the system was later reformed into a multi-tiered selection process using a tournament format?" he asked.
Su Yu thought about it carefully: "In order to avoid wasting resources, only those who stand out from the end through all the tests are the most worth cultivating."
"Then why are other people allowed to watch the battle?" Shi Chaobi asked again.
"Because it must be fair and just."
"Fairness? Do you think anyone in the world would doubt the fairness of our actions?" Shi Chaobi exclaimed with unwavering confidence.
Su Yu was stunned. The nine governors, the guardians who saved China, would the people of China doubt them?
Or rather, do they care about everyone's doubts?
Faced with absolute power, this is not...
Shi Chaobi smiled and said, "Besides, geniuses like you who have performed exceptionally well are bound to be targeted by groups like Shenglin."
“If we just want to select the most promising talents to cultivate, why don’t we just hold a mini college entrance examination?”
Su Yu looked eager to learn; now he was certain that this was the reward.
"Because of luck."
"Because only those destined for greatness can reach the end."
“Li Cheng’an is telling you that every battle you fight is a struggle for resources.”
"Now, let me tell you again, every battle you fight is a struggle for the most elusive and important destiny in this world."
"But there are so many top scorers every year?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.
Shi Chaobi laughed and said, "Therefore, fortune is unpredictable, and those who want to achieve great things must fight their way through the layers to the end."
"The Freshman Martial Arts Tournament, the National Martial Arts Tournament, and the Blue Star Martial Arts Tournament are all for the purpose of cultivating an emperor who is admired by all."
"An emperor?"
"Well, let's call it Emperor for now. This is the path we've found so far that might allow us to break through to the ninth rank."
"Actually, using 'luck' to describe it isn't quite accurate; you can also understand it as the power of faith."
"When you become the top student in Tianyun City, the top student in the Northwest Theater Command."
"When you become the hope in everyone's hearts, you will change in some ways without even realizing it."
Seeing that Su Yu was still puzzled, Shi Chaobi smiled and said, "Your current level is too low, so you can't sense it."
"Let me give you a simple example. A ninth-rank Grandmaster is powerful, right?"
"sharp!"
"Within the Northwest War Zone, no ninth-rank Grandmaster in the entire world is my match."
"This is why we were able to withstand the invasion of the alien races."
"On this land, I am invincible among those of the ninth rank."
Shi Chaobi's tone was utterly calm, yet Su Yu felt her heart surge with emotion.
"The power of all living beings?" he asked uncertainly.
"Perhaps it can be said that our China uses the method of electing the top scorer."
"In the West, there are divine beings; their powerful figures correspond to their mythological figures."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu became somewhat curious. Could there be something like Zeus?
Shi Chaobi said indifferently, "It's just trying to glorify himself."
Su Yu remained silent.
"Therefore, this is our expectation for you top scorers."
"We hope that someone will emerge who can surpass us and surpass Minister Wang."
“He can gather the power of Tianyun City, the Western Theater Command, China, and the entire human race to step into the legendary Emperor Realm.” Shi Chaobi looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled and said, "It will happen."
Shi Chaobi also smiled and said, "I believe it will happen too."
"Also, as a reward, I'll tell you something else."
Su Yu immediately perked up her ears.
"The desolate battlefield will one day be completely merged with Earth."
"Perhaps several hundred years, or perhaps within the next hundred years."
Su Yu suddenly felt a tremendous pressure from Shi Chaobi.
These predecessors have always been supporting this land.
They hoped someone could lend a hand, or perhaps they were afraid that no one would take over this land.
The atmosphere became oppressive.
"You can rest assured, nothing unexpected should happen before you grow up," Shi Chaobi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu suddenly remembered a sentence.
If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen...
"Are you satisfied with these rewards?" Shi Chaobi asked again.
"Satisfied." Su Yu said sincerely.
"Then that's settled. If you can bring back the top scorer for our Northwest Theater Command."
"There's one more thing I can do for you."
"Your teacher Zhuge probably doesn't have the ability to get you five dying sixth-grade exotic beasts."
