Chapter 266 This old man is a little unique Suppressing her longing for the modern world, Gu Chan began to look around to check the specific situation inside. Since it was pitch black inside when she came in last night, she couldn't see the whole picture clearly. It was not until dawn that she realized that the first floor was as big as two basketball courts side by side. Apart from some broken furniture, there was a lot of hay. Chimpanzees usually sleep in nests made of hay. As for the hygiene conditions inside, they are extremely bad, otherwise they wouldn't be so smelly. Looking at the staircase on the second floor, Gu Chan said, "There are three floors here, and each floor has a level. The level on the first floor should be you. Now I have passed your level. I wonder what the second level upstairs is." [There is an old man with a white beard living upstairs. He usually doesn’t talk. I have been here for three years, and he has only said three sentences to me in total.] said the chimpanzee. Gu Chan became interested and asked, "Which three sentences?" [Don’t come up here, get off. If you come to bother me again, I’ll kill you.] The chimpanzee said with an unhappy look on his face. Gu Chan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Three sentences in three years, that really means one sentence every year! This old man is quite a character. From another perspective, the fact that he could shock such a strong chimpanzee is enough to prove that he must be very strong. Thinking of this, Gu Chan asked again, "Is this old man very strong?" [Very strong. Last year, I went to see him and he raised his hand and sent out a stream of air that knocked me down. I suspect he knows qigong, or he has special abilities.] The chimpanzee said in a trembling voice. Gu Chan patiently explained, "There is no such thing as qigong or special abilities in this world. They are called practitioners, who specialize in practicing magic. And magic is divided into three types: physical magic, exploration magic, and practicing magic. So if what you said is true, he should be an extremely strong practitioner." [So that's how it is!] The chimpanzee sighed with relief, finally understanding what was going on. Gu Chan turned and said, "Do you want to go up with me?" [I won't go, you go by yourself! I'm quite afraid of him, and he also hates me, so I won't go and cause you trouble.] Chimpanzees are very self-aware. "Okay then! I'll go up by myself, and you stay here and wait for me. If I can get out successfully this time, I will definitely find a way to rescue you." Gu Chan said, patting his chest. The chimpanzee nodded with emotion. Gu Chan said no more and immediately said goodbye to it, walked towards the stairs to the second floor, and then walked up to the second floor carefully. After a while, she successfully reached the second floor. The entire second floor is as big as the first floor below, but compared to the messy first floor, this place is much better. Not only are there tables, chairs and benches, but there is also a large, soft bed. It looks like a place where someone can live in seclusion. The strangest thing is that although the upstairs and downstairs are connected, the stench downstairs cannot come up at all. At this moment, there is a more unique sandalwood scent floating in the second floor, which is amazing. The old man with white beard mentioned by the chimpanzee was currently sitting cross-legged on the ground in the middle of the room. In front of him was a chessboard with black and white pieces forming a chess endgame. Gu Chan stared at the old man secretly. After taking a look, she found that the old man was wearing a white robe and was very thin. He was estimated to be about meters tall and weighed only about 80 or 90 kilograms. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was skinny. He was quite old, probably over 80, otherwise he wouldn't have had so many white hairs and a white beard. But it was strange that although he looked like he was about to die, his skin looked quite ruddy, and he looked like an immortal, so different from the others. Carefully walking to the opposite side of the old man and squatting down, Gu Chan looked at the endgame on the chessboard and scratched his head speechlessly.
To be honest, the black and white chess in this world is the modern Go. She has not done much research on this thing. She had no problem playing Gobang before, but it was unrealistic for her to play Go. Therefore, she could not really understand the subtlety of the endgame in front of her. The old man said without even looking up, "You are really amazing! You were able to chat so happily with the beast downstairs last night, and even smoked medicinal cigarettes with it. No wonder the female leader of Renzong thinks so highly of you and allows you to come here to pass the three trials." "Hello, senior. My name is Gu Chan. What's your name?" Gu Chan said politely while clasping his fists. "Just call me Lao Bai." Lao Bai said indifferently. Gu Chan nodded, "Then Lao Bai, how can I get through the second level? Do I have to fight with you?" "I'm not interested in fighting, and I don't bother to fight with a kid like you. It's very easy for you to get past me. Just help me break this unfinished game in front of me." Lao Bai looked up at Gu Chan and said. Gu Chan laughed dryly twice and was completely speechless. Dry! She is not proficient in Go, and the old man is already very old and can't solve the endgame in front of him. How can she solve it? At this moment, Gu Chan was already cursing in her heart. Lao Bai said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, take your time to think about it. The time limit is half a month anyway. If you still can't crack it in half a month, I will kill you and throw your body to the first floor to feed the beast." "Hiss... I'm quite curious, why do you call the mysterious beast downstairs a ferocious beast?" Gu Chan asked. "It's not a mysterious beast. Have you ever seen any mysterious beast that looks like it? In this world, any beast like it is collectively called a ferocious beast. It is much more powerful than an ordinary mysterious beast and is as dangerous as a fairy beast." Lao Bai said with a serious face. Gu Chan really couldn't help it, she covered her mouth with her hand and laughed secretly. It is obviously a cute big chimpanzee, but the people in this world say that it is a dangerous beast comparable to a fairy beast. How can she not laugh? Lao Bai's eyes turned fierce and he shouted angrily, "What's so funny?" "I'm sorry, Lao Bai, I really couldn't help it. Let me tell you the truth! It's not a ferocious beast, but a chimpanzee. It's actually not dangerous at all and is very close to us humans." Gu Chan said, stopping her smile. "Ah?" Lao Bai was confused. It was the first time he heard someone talk about this, how could he not be confused. Gu Chan said seriously, "Really, its IQ is very high. Although it can't speak human language, if you teach it sign language, it can learn sign language to communicate with people." "What nonsense! I didn't understand a word you said." Lao Bai frowned and shouted coldly. "Oh! Anyway, you just need to understand that it is a chimpanzee, not a ferocious beast." Gu Chan said unhappily. Lao Bai stared at her with wide eyes, speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. After all, he had been here for so long, and this was the first time he had encountered someone coming in who looked so unique. In this way, Gu Chan successfully attracted his attention!
