Xiangyang, one of the top ten cities in the Three Kingdoms.

If Luoyang is "in the middle of the world" in the economic sense, then Xiangyang is the "middle of the world" in military geography, which directly determines the boundary between the north and the south of the world, and ranks first in the heavyweight ranking in a large number of "battleground for soldiers" in ancient times.

Private room on the top floor of Xiangyang Tea House.

Li Guanqi still played chess day and night as usual, completely unaware that he had been promoted to the third king.

Li Guanqi is an amateur Go 7th dan, 22 years old. With such age and strength, even if you meet a professional chess player on the battle network, you have the strength to fight, and even from time to time some old and high-level professional chess players overturn. In this era where it is impossible to tell whether it is an explosion of entertainment or a lack of spirit, there are very few young people like Li Guanqi who are keen on Go.

Of course, Li Guanqi also has a personal physique, that is, his eyesight is a little color blind, and he can't distinguish between traffic lights and various colorful mobile games, black and white are the most dazzling colors in Li Guanqi's eyes. This color, in addition to chess, is a paper book. So Li Guanqi's second hobby is reading, especially the Three Kingdoms.

But once after losing to a plug-in who opened a computer intelligence on Battle.net, my mentality collapsed.

Not because I can't afford to lose, but because I lost to the computer. If chess is like character, then the AI computer is simply a monster without quality, which has hit Li Guanqi's chess path hard. And as an amateur seven-dan to talk about "chess", it is also a very ridiculous thing in itself.

So the depression crossed over.

With Li Guanqi's understanding of the Three Kingdoms, of course, Xiangyang is the first choice. Liu Biao is a bull who can start, and the cow far exceeds Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and others at the same time. These two are nothing if they don't have soldiers. Liu Biao introduced a scholar and was able to "ride into Xiangyang alone" without a single soldier.

Because Jingzhou is rich and the clan is strong, he just wants to be the head snake of the soil emperor, and he doesn't want to be managed by foreign strong dragons at all, and Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, who are strong and strong, have not gained a foothold in Jingzhou. Only Liu Biao, a world-renowned royal clansman, and a "weak master" who is a bare scholar, can barely be recognized.

Liu Biao is very clear about his positioning, and he also knows the bottom line of Haoqiang's mind. When the troubled times were in turmoil and everyone else was recruiting, he was engaged in a Renaissance school. As for the war, it was handed over to his wife's uncle's family and guest generals, and Wancheng, the north gate of Jingzhou, was handed over to Zhang Xiu, the "Beidi Sharpshooter". Dongdaemun Jiangxia was handed over to the local Haoqiang Huang Zu. Then gradually regain Jingnan. is the lord who loves to use guest generals the most in the Three Kingdoms, so he also took in Liu Bei.

It is precisely because of the 20 years of Liu Biao's Renaissance that Xiangyang has absorbed a large number of people from the Central Plains who have taken refuge, so the scenery of the humanities is incomparable. With such a geographical location and talent strength, there is still a great capital to compete for hegemony in the world.

The Three Kingdoms world is different, but it is the same Liu Biao. Li Guanqi really wants to thank Liu Biao for creating this humanistic environment, so he doesn't care about it for now, and seize the time to play chess to enhance his reputation.

As a modern chess player, he knows all kinds of chess moves well, and he really can't compare with the amateurs and amateur ancients. Soon alarmed Liu Biao, so he came to play two games with Li Guanqi, and these two games were extremely difficult!

It's not because of how strong Liu Biao's chess strength is, but he doesn't dare to win him, but he doesn't dare to let it be obvious! So a draw was played. Liu Biao Dayue named Li Guanqi as a petty official who specializes in playing chess and gets paid. It is worthy of Liu Biao, very humanistic!

After this battle, Li Guanqi moved his fame, and at the same time realized the realm of "playing chess with the emperor" in the legend, which tested not only chess strength, but also many things that are difficult to describe. And this kind of thing is soulless, unscrupulous AI computers can never control. Li Guanqi finally found a way to surpass the computer, perhaps this is the meaning of his own crossing.

Since then, Li Guanqi has been leisurely no matter who he plays chess with. Winning chess is not a skill, winning chess is the ability to win the guest and host. As a result, his prestige has been further enhanced, and he is known as "the world's first chess player" and "chess saint".

Now the opponent in front of Li Guanqi is a mysterious black-robed old man, who has appeared in the past month, and must hold his old and heavy chessboard box every night in the quiet private room on the top floor for a game, and he is also the strongest opponent he has encountered so far.

The chessboard is obviously made of iron, and the chess pieces are supposed to be magnets and are also very heavy. The magnetic attraction when he fell made Li Guanqi uncomfortable for a while. But it didn't affect Li Guanqi's play, and he still won him by one and a half every time. There is no suspense tonight.

At this time, the old man in the black robe said with a smile: "Master Li is really superb in chess, young and promising, and the old man has benefited a lot, so this chess box will be given to you." By the way, I would like to give another gift to adults. ”

After speaking, he took out two golden fairy talismans.

Li Guanqi is a specialist in squatting in a teahouse, and he is a chess player who can know the world without going out, and he knows that this is a trip to China! Isn't this thing more than expensive?

Although Li Guanqi also guessed that he had a good background, he didn't expect it to be so arrogant: "Old gentleman, this is?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Master Li, do you know that Cha Xiaoer thinks that you have been here alone every night this month?" ”

Li Guanqi's eyes widened: "They can't see the old man?" ”

The old man smiled: "It's the eyes of adults who have special abilities!" The old man pinched his fingers, and when the pastor of the state of Huizhou came, he would ask the adults to discuss important matters! There will be a period later! ”

After speaking, he turned into a night breeze and left, and there was a faint laughter and singing in the wind: "Are the golden scales a thing in the pool?" Heaven and earth are the sons of the stars......"

- System prompt: Congratulations! You get the magic weapon "Scattered Stars" and get two "Shenzhou Travel"!

- Scattered all over the place: immortal formation magic weapons, enter the game space during battle.

Li Guanqi realized that he must be the immortal Beidou in the legendary chess copy!

My eyes are obviously colorblind, but I have abilities in this world?

The meaning of the immortal is very clear, he is already playing chess in Xiangyang, and it is unlikely that he will rely on playing chess to attract Pang Tong Xu Shu Zhuge Liang to appear, so he has to go out for a walk. And the most talkative thing outside in the past two days is that the five masters have all used this Shenzhou trip to Yongchang. In fact, Cha Xiaoer also said the day before yesterday that Kuai Yue was watching the stars at night in the stargazing tower, and Yongchang had a change.

Shall I go there too? Clean up...... Endgame?

Or meet the first calligrapher Zhong Huang? It is said that piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the same, do I have a common language with him?

While thinking about it, sure enough, a herald hurriedly went upstairs: "Li is waiting to recruit adults, and the state pastor is invited!" ”

As soon as I went downstairs and went out, a player immediately shouted: "The chess saint boss is out, the big guy, you are ranked 3rd, and you are the title of the third king!" ”

Three gentlemen? I see.

Regarding the ranking, the current Li Guanqi is very indifferent. The ranking is a pitfall, and everyone wants to fight for it. Take the rank system of Go as an example, what about fighting for the first place? If you can't win the computer, your income and fame are not as high as that of an Internet celebrity, so what are you fighting for? This is not the way it should be.

Li Guanqi met the handsome and indescribable Liu Biao in Liu Biao's mansion. In fact, the Han Dynasty attached great importance to appearance, and people who mix well must have good looks. Ugly people are not welcomed, such as Pang Tong, who was wronged by Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

This time, on the opposite side of his chessboard, sat a slender young man with a gorgeous shirt and a handsome appearance, but he opened his "beer belly" and drank rice wine. And it feels very, very strong! Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, who are their own military generals, are not at the same level at all!

Li Guanqi was shocked, Jing Xiang has such a character? Who dares to be so rude in front of someone like Liu Biao who talks about rules and etiquette? Gan Ning? No way! Gan Ningjiang was born as a thief, and he has always been looked down upon by Liu Biao, and it is impossible to sit together.

Liu Biao smiled: "Friends from afar, happy? Chesswatch, this one—"

The young man waved his hand: "My lord, when he wins, I will introduce-"

After speaking, he forced Li Guanqi: "Some people say, you are the number one chess player in the world?" I'm not convinced at all! ”

Li Guanqi was even more frightened, this is the strength of Liu Biao's world's famous people, and there will be generals from other places to visit! But there seems to be only one Guan Yu who can play and play chess, but Guan Yu's chess skills may be average, this person is better than Guan Yu?

The young man waved his sleeves and crackled and dropped nine sons on the nine-star position of the chessboard.

Li Guanqi was stunned!

Liu Biao laughed!

The young man smiled proudly: "No one has ever been able to make me nine!" If you can win like this, I will admit that you are the number one chess player in the world! There are other benefits, and the opportunity is just this one! ”

Liu Biao also smiled: "Watching chess, in fact, I also have something to talk to you about, in short, let's finish this game first." ”

The real challenge is coming!

Li Guanqi felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling! What is the concept of a handicap? The professional nine-dan at the peak of the top-level competition is to make himself an amateur seven-dan two, and there can be no more. Let the nine is simply a fun game for beginners! But with the arrogant and unreasonable personality he showed, did he really dare to win? If all nine of them lose, he'll be mad, right?

Therefore, it is still possible to only draw, and the difficulty has risen by another order of magnitude!
