Wang Xiaohai walked into the first screening door behind the white-bearded old man.
After walking about two hundred meters, there were three more forks in the road for Wang Xiaohai to choose from. Just like the last time, Wang Xiaohai gritted his teeth and chose the book fork again.
As expected, there was indeed a door at the end of the fork in the road. Standing in front of the door was an old man. Moreover, this old man seemed a little familiar.
"You chose me again." The old robot said, "You can call me Sanity Robot."
"Do you know me?" Wang Xiaohai was a little surprised as this was their first meeting.
"The person who played rock-paper-scissors with you just now was me!" said the wise old man.
"You have two bodies?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"For our supercomputer, having any number of bodies isn't a problem. All of our bodies can share core data through the cloud, effectively creating billions of avatars," the wise old man said. "You saw me earlier as a brand new robot. Over two hundred of them were smashed to pieces by angry angels, so I had no choice but to switch bodies to test you again."
"Over two hundred bodies, and a 10% pass rate." Wang Xiaohai realized, "This means that only about twenty of the screened people have passed the Zhimen."
"Yes, you are very smart." The wise old man said, "But not every eliminated angel will smash my body, so thirty angels passed the first gate of wisdom."
"What is the second question? Go ahead and ask it!" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Let me think about it. The questions I asked before were too easy, so people passed them. So I'm going to ask more difficult questions this time." said the wise old man.
"What?" Wang Xiaohai was shocked. "You don't have to treat me specially. I'm just an ordinary angel. Just give me a normal question."
"If I don't give you a difficult test, who knows how long you'll have to wait until next time?" the wise old man said. "You're the last angel to enter the tunnel! It might take another 100 million years to wait until the next God falls."
"Is it my fault that I came late? I got the news late!" Wang Xiaohai said, "You should make it up to me and give me the easiest problem, like what does one plus one equal?"
"Stop talking nonsense. What you need is to play Go with me, a game of Go that originated from the galaxies under the God Star Region." The wise old man said, "Do you understand the rules?"
"I don't understand, I don't understand at all." Wang Xiaohai actually understood a little, but he couldn't say that he understood a lot. He hoped that by saying he didn't understand the old man would change the subject. This was an intelligent computer used by the real God. Wouldn't playing chess with it be tantamount to asking for trouble?
"If you don't understand, you can learn. Here are the rules of Go." The sane old man threw a light screen of Go rules to Wang Xiaohai.
Wang Xiaohai reached out and took the light screen. It was weightless, but he could lift it up. The light screen was white, and the words on it were black light.
"What amazing technology," Wang Xiaohai said. "This light-emitting screen is close to a Level 4 civilization."
"You haven't reached level four yet, far from it." The wise old man said, "Hurry up and read the rules. I can wait for you. If it takes you one year to understand, I'll wait for one year. If it takes you ten thousand years to understand, I'll wait for you ten thousand years."
Wang Xiaohai already knew the rules. He pretended to glance at it and then threw the screen away: "I'm done."
"Please!" The wise old man waved his arm, and a table, a chessboard, and two carved wooden chairs appeared in front of Wang Xiaohai.
"This universe doesn't allow things to appear out of thin air, right? Mass and energy are conserved." Wang Xiaohai was a little surprised.
"Of course, I moved this from another space. Look carefully, there are traces of termites gnawing on the chair." said the sane old man.
Wang Xiaohai sat at the table, and the wise old man immediately sat opposite him.
"You play the black chess piece first." The wise old man gestured with his hand.
Wang Xiaohai picked up the black chess piece and immediately placed it at the Tianyuan position.
The wise old man immediately occupied a corner with white chess pieces.
Then the two of them officially started playing chess. After four or five moves, Wang Xiaohai felt that he was going to lose.
"You can use your brute force method now," Wang Xiaohai said. "So no matter how I play, I will lose, right?"
"This game of Go is very difficult to exhaustively analyze," the wise old man said. "Playing against you using exhaustive analysis consumes too much energy, so I won't use it."
Wang Xiaohai thought this guy was hinting that his chess skills were poor! But this guy was a computer close to a fourth-level civilization. Who could beat it?
Ten minutes later, Wang Xiaohai's position was completely ruined, to the point where the sane old man predicted he would lose even if he played a hundred pieces. He took the black piece and pressed it against the board. His power, flowing through the pieces and the board, altered the wavelength of light visible to all the pieces. Black pieces became white, and white pieces became black. Instantly, the situation was reversed, giving him a huge advantage!
"Now you can't calculate your chances of winning even if you use the exhaustive method. I only need to make two more moves, and you will surrender!" Wang Xiaohai said with a smile.
"You are cheating again!" The wise old man felt a headache. He could also change the black chess pieces into white chess pieces, but if he continued like this, it would be equivalent to a competition of force instead of wisdom.
"What cheating? This is called a combination of force and wisdom. Wisdom allows me to see that changing the reflected wavelength can change the color. Force allows me to do this. Isn't this stronger than pure wisdom?" Wang Xiaohai replied.
"Okay, you've passed, you sophistry boy." The sensible old man didn't make it too difficult. After all, some angels who performed worse than Wang Xiaohai were allowed to pass, so there was no need to stop Wang Xiaohai from passing.
"Thank you." Wang Xiaohai walked past the mentally retarded old man and entered the second screening door.
After walking a few hundred meters, Wang Xiaohai saw three more forks in the road. The icons were the same, but the only difference was the final screening gate. He felt a headache, a dilemma. He felt that if he chose the sane old man again, he would definitely not cheat. However, the sane old man's questions were so difficult, how could anyone else pass so many of them? Wang Xiaohai didn't believe that only one in ten people could pass his three levels. It wasn't that he was arrogant or conceited, but he knew clearly that if he didn't break the rules, the angels would never be able to defeat the intelligent computer! The only way to succeed was to constantly break the rules!
