Yang Xiao also discovered a new situation. Those ice elemental magicians were much better at resisting the cold than others. They feel much more relaxed when they are running outside.
Chen Fei is the ice magician. As she ran, she teased Huang Wen and others:
"Oh, isn't it just snowing? Look how cold you are, haha."
Huang Wen and others could only roll their eyes.
Yang Xiao said:
"Okay, you ice elemental magicians are born with the gene to resist cold. Let's do this. From now on, you will be responsible for half of the tasks of fetching firewood to make fires and fetching snow to boil water. The work of fetching firewood and snow outside the cave will be yours. Don't take it for granted. The people in the logistics team were frozen.”
"Boss, huh?"
Chen Fei looked at Yang Xiao with her mouth wide open, while Huang Wen, Qin Yu and others were running and laughing wildly.
Yang Xiao took Long Yongjun to a gene store.
The cave dwelling is only about 200 meters away from the gene store, but heavy snow piled up more than one meter high along the way, making walking difficult.
The snow is not hardened, and when you step on it, your whole body is about to fall into it.
Xiao Zhe asked the wind magician to come out and blow out a passage. Yang Xiao waved his hand.
"Forget it, it's such a long journey and it's cold outside. It's not easy for everyone."
Zhao Gang is from the Northeast. He found a few branches one meter long and as thick as his arms, and asked Yang Xiao to tie them to his feet.
Yang Xiao tried it, and it turned out that walking on the snow was much smoother, at least he wouldn't get stuck in deep snow.
"This is the principle of sledding. Zhao Gang, idle time is idle. You can lead people to make more similar things. It will be useful if everyone wants to go out. Aren't our potatoes stored in the office building? In a few days When the potatoes are finished, send someone to carry some over."
Zhao Gang smiled and said:
"Huang Wen and the others can fly. Can't they just grab a bag each and fly over?"
"They are girls. Don't you, a grown man like you, know how to show mercy to women?"
Huang Wen and others laughed after hearing this.
Yang Xiao took Long Yongjun to the gene store with great difficulty.
There was only a layer of snow about ten centimeters thick on the ground thirty meters near the gene store. The two iron tower warriors were covered in snowflakes and stood at the door like snowmen.
"Damn it, these two are not afraid of the cold."
"Didn't you notice that the temperature near the gene store is much higher than other places? It's only about minus 5 or 6 degrees here at most."
The two of them said, pushed open the door of the gene store and walked in.
In Yang Xiao's impression, the genetic store used to be open. I don't know when there was an extra door here, probably to block the wind and snow.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt as if winter had entered spring. It was warmer than inside the cave dwelling. Yang Xiao suspected that it was either air-conditioned or heated.
Gu Bo was playing chess with his assistant in the main hall of the store. Yang Xiao took a look and said with a smile:
"You can also play Go?"
"Well, do you want to play another round with me?"
"Okay, but my chess skills are average."
"I have just learned this. This is the chess skill of your human world. You must be better than me. Come on, play a game at will."
Gubo's assistant immediately stood up and gave way.
Yang Xiao was not polite. He sat down and reached out to get Heizi, but then he was stunned.
The sunspot seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds and did not move at all.
Yang Xiao believed that his strength attribute was not bad. With 9 points of genetic power, he could easily carry a few hundred kilograms, but he could not afford to pick up this small chess piece.
No matter how hard Yang Xiao tried, the chess pieces remained motionless.
Gu Bo opposite looked at Yang Xiao and smiled slightly.
Yang Xiao knew there was a mystery inside, so he immediately gave up and said:
"Old man, how do you play this chess game?"
"Simple, chess is not played with hands, but with the brain,"
Gubo said, tapping his head with his finger.
"Hit your focus and use your awareness to move the pieces where you want them to go."
"ah?"
Yang Xiao and Long Yongjun were both stunned.
Gu Bo smiled and said nothing, and looked at the chessboard with his eyes. A white piece slowly jumped out from the small bowl containing the chess pieces, and then gently landed on the chessboard.
"Try it."
Gubo said.
Yang Xiao nodded, immediately hit his consciousness, and mobilized a sunspot in the small bowl.
Heizi vibrated a few times and slowly rose up.
With a snap, it still fell into the small bowl.
"Don't rush, take your time and hit the energy."
Yang Xiao took a deep breath and tried again.
After three consecutive failures, the fourth time the chess pieces were finally adjusted and slowly transported to the chessboard.
Gu Bo nodded slightly,
"The boy is teachable!"
Hearing Gu Bo's words, Yang Xiao felt like he was vomiting blood. He thought to himself, I will kill you and see who is the bastard later.
Yang Xiao's parents have been sending him to learn Go since he was in elementary school, and he has been an amateur 7-dan master since high school. He once won the championship in the city's middle school student Go competition.
After playing for half an hour, beads of sweat broke out on Yang Xiao's forehead. He suddenly discovered that this game of Go was actually not a game of Go, but an exercise in thinking power, or mental power, which he always played in peacetime. It feels completely different.
You obviously thought you could capture one of Gu Bo's pieces in just a few moves, but it took a long time to complete these steps. By the time you actually captured the opponent's pieces, the fun of capturing them had long since disappeared.
Yang Xiao didn't know how long he had been lying down, and he was completely focused on it.
"Boss, it's getting dark. I need to go home for dinner."
Long Yongjun suddenly shouted in his ear.
Yang Xiao raised his head and looked outside the gate in a daze. As expected, the sky was already dark.
"How long have I been down?"
"Haha, four hours."
"Four hours?"
Yang Xiao was a little unconfident when he saw that the two men had only played less than a third of the chessboard. The main reason was that Yang Xiao's speed of transporting the chess pieces using his consciousness was too slow.
Although Gu Bo's chess skills are not as good as his, at least two-thirds of the territory needs to be played to completely determine the outcome.
"Haha, the little doll is pretty good. He's really better at chess than me. That's it for today. Come back tomorrow."
Yang Xiao nodded, stood up and said:
"Okay, I will definitely defeat you tomorrow."
Gubo laughed:
"OK!"
Yang Xiao walked out of the gene store. The cold wind blew outside and he shivered instinctively.
"Damn it, why is Gubo's chessboard so weird?"
"Boss, what is your purpose of coming to Gubo today?"
When Yang Xiao heard this, he patted his head, turned around and walked into the store.
"Forgot something?"
Gubo asked.
"Ah, I came here today just to ask you, what skills, mental secrets, etc. do you have here so that everyone can practice by themselves when they are bored?"
"Most of the combat skills need to be improved in the process of hunting mutant creatures, so you can't practice them while sitting in the cave. There is only one technique that does not require hunting mutant creatures and can be practiced by yourself."
Yang Xiao was delighted, "What?"
"Light shield."
