The middle-aged man is nad David, and he's the boss of this base, and everyone calls him Stationmaster.
On the entire Purple Origin Planet, there are over 2,000 such bases, with hundreds of thousands of people who ca from Witch Star, and they've been living on Purple Origin Planet for a long ti, gradually forming the colonial culture here.
There were no cities originally, but with so many people coming and over ti, they slowly built the colonial cities here.
When Luo ng began telling Yang Xiao that there were no cities, it ant that there were no cities on this planet before; all the cities were built by them later, and even the na Purple Origin Star was given by them.
Most of the people who ca here reached a bottleneck in Genetic Evolution and found it difficult to make significant breakthroughs with Genetic Potion in a short period of ti, so everyone tends to cultivate the Invisible Spiritual Attribute in terms of Genetic Evolution.
The best way to cultivate the spiritual power attribute is through playing Go chess, and for this reason, the colonists on this planet hold a large-scale Go chess competition every year.
Not only on Purple Origin Star, but Go has also beco a very popular activity on Witch Star recently, and there are even specialized chess training halls.
Base Stationmaster David said to everyone:
"The winner of this Go chess competition not only gets a reward of 100 million Crystal Coins but will also have a three-month holiday back on Witch Star, and moreover, will have the opportunity to play against the current number one Grandmaster of Go chess in the Ancient Dragon Imperial Palace."
Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately beca excited,
"Ah, to play against the number one Grandmaster of the Imperial Chess Arena? Such an opportunity is truly once in a blue moon."
"Indeed, it's said that if you can play against the number one Grandmaster of the Imperial Go chess, it can greatly enhance your spiritual power. Those with high understanding might even receive guidance from the Great Grandmaster, achieving a qualitative improvent in spiritual power cultivation."
"It's rumored that the number one Grandmaster of Imperial Go chess is a young unparalleled beauty."
"What are you thinking about, kiddo? You're dreaming too much, this is like a toad lusting after a swan's at."
"Hehe, the number one Grandmaster of Imperial Go chess could kill you with just a glance, don't dare to harbor any evil thoughts in front of her."
"I think you guys are just talking nonsense. Do you even have a chance to win the Go chess competition on Purple Origin Planet? Do you have the opportunity to go to the Imperial Palace and play against the Grandmaster?"
"Damn, can't I even think about it?"
"No, even thinking about it is an indecency towards the number one Grandmaster."
"Haha...."
...
David waves his hand to the people around him and says:
"Alright, everyone first sign up for the selection competition of our base. Sign up tonight, and from tomorrow, we will draw and compete each evening, implenting an elimination system, where the losers are out, and the winners advance to the next round."
"Great, I'm signing up."
" too."
...
And so, everyone rushed to sign up.
Luo ng was very excited; he had been here for three years now, and every ti he participated in the base's Go chess competition, his ranking was always at the very bottom. This ti, he felt he had a chance to make a show, and if lucky, he might even win first place and represent the base in the competition.
After signing up, Luo ng slipped away imdiately.
Luo ng arrived at Yang Xiao's room, saw that the lights were off, and then realized that he was too excited and had forgotten the ti. After hesitating for a mont, he turned and left.
At this mont, Yang Xiao was sitting on the bed ditating, cultivating the Yijin Scripture from Shaolin Temple.
The next morning, as soon as Yang Xiao got up, Luo ng ca running over excitedly.
"Master Yang, you don't need to go to the base today."
"Ah?"
"This is the deal, our base is going to hold a Go tournant tonight, I'd like you to spend the day playing and coaching ."
"Oh, I see. Alright."
Yang Xiao spent the morning playing three gas with Luo ng, and another three in the afternoon.
There was a two-hour lunch break at noon.
Lucy ca over to bring Yang Xiao his al.
"Lucy, did you know there's a Go tournant at the base tonight?"
Lucy nodded,
"It's not just a tournant for the base, it's a Go tournant for the entire Purple Origin Planet. I ca here last year, and the tournant is a very important event. The champion gets a reward of one hundred million Crystal Coins."
"Ah, no wonder Captain Luo takes it so seriously, he didn't go to the mines today."
"Not only did Captain Luo not go, but most people didn't go to the mines today, only a few people and Iron Tower Guards did."
Yang Xiao suddenly rembered sothing and, intrigued, asked:
"You've been here longer, do you know anything about the Iron Tower Guards?"
Lucy was startled, looked around, and whispered to Yang Xiao:
"The Iron Tower Guards aren't real people."
"Buzz!"
Yang Xiao's mind was rocked, staring blankly at Lucy.
Back on Earth, Yang Xiao suspected sothing about the Iron Tower Guards, because the ones they had seen on Earth had similar heights and builds, all wearing uniform Armor.
The most damning evidence was their ability to stand guard 24/7, year-round with little to no signs of eating or resting.
Once, when he and Gong Yu went to Magic City, he also shared his suspicions, and at that ti, Gong Yu suspected that the Iron Tower Guards could be alien robots with the technology of this planet being so advanced that these robots were highly realistic, having reached full intelligence indistinguishable from real humans.
"Are you sure about that?"
"I once brought food to Captain David of the base, and saw him detach an arm from one of the Iron Tower Guards. When Captain David saw co in, he quickly put it back on. I didn't dare to speak out, pretended I hadn't seen anything, and hurriedly bowed my head and left.
I can't talk about this more, I need to get back to work."
After saying this, Lucy turned and left.
Yang Xiao sighed, thinking "No venture, no gain, right?"
Only within the base could one learn so secrets of this mysterious planetary civilization.
Now having confird his long-standing suspicion, Yang Xiao felt a sudden relief. If the Iron Tower Guards were robots, then those n in black cloaks were the real inhabitants of Witch Star.
So it seed, the entire base only had seventy to eighty people.
Additionally, Yang Xiao saw about twenty or thirty won similar to Lucy, presumably they were the logistical support staff of the base and also the ans for the base's n to relieve their stress.
As Yang Xiao understood, although the Iron Tower Warriors were robots, they were highly intelligent and possessed exceptionally strong combat capabilities.
"Damn, defeating a robot is very difficult, but since they are robots, they must have weaknesses. Just need to pay close attention, and surely their vulnerabilities can be found."
