Never mind everyone else-even Ji Yanzhi hadn't expected Ji Ting to make a chessboard look so incredibly futuristic.
Just then, his mother's cousin asked hesitantly through his shock, "Is this... an AR projection?"
But that couldn't be right either. Even holograms couldn't have such a convincing sense of physical substance.
"It is a projection." Ji Ting only mentioned the materials aloud, leaving the rest unspoken: It's just that these are new projection materials extracted from Hadron Collider data.
The others had no idea, but Ji Yanzhi heard every word, and regret instantly washed over him.
"Grandpa, I'll buy you another one later, the best there is. This one, I..."
With a smack, Jiang Mingde slapped his hand away. "Little Ji gave this to me. What does it have to do with you?"
Then his expression abruptly changed, and he turned to Ji Ting with a beaming smile. "Little Ji, does this chessboard of yours have any other tricks?"
"Yes." Ji Ting nodded. "It includes twelve themes and comes with a Weather Synchronization System."
"Weather?"
Seeing his confusion, Ji Ting stepped forward and selected a rainstorm. A protective energy shield automatically formed over the chessboard, and raindrops burst against it in miniature supernova effects.
Next, he demonstrated the Biological Rhythm Adaptation System. For games played in the early hours of the morning, the board would switch to a dark matter interface, and the pieces would leave phosphorescent trails as they moved.
Once a game's outcome was decided, the "Epic Finale" effect would automatically activate: the board would fracture into a black hole, and all the pieces would turn to stardust and be drawn into the singularity.
"My heavens." His great-uncle stared, transfixed, and murmured, "How is this a chessboard...?"
He had voiced what everyone was thinking. Now Jiang Mingde wasn't just
