Chapter 55: You and Aya are all the way
"Tsk, unsettling peace."
Walking on the dazzling staircase, looking at the light at the exit in front of him, Wang Lu couldn't help but sigh.
After passing through the labyrinth of the second level, the group proceeded to the third level. On the path of the Champion Trial, there was a long staircase of brilliance between each level, Wang Lu had always suspected that the people of the Holy Light Sect would probably not be able to help but make a move at this time, but until the end, they did not encounter the expected interception, and the Holy Light Sect seemed to be ignorant of Wang Lu's fact that he had broken two levels in a row.
Although no one hinders it will only make the strategy smoother, Wang Lu always feels a little uneasy in his heart.
At this time, the Liuli Immortal, who had the most amazing eyesight in the team, had already seen the scenery of the end point, and said happily: "I saw the stone gate, and there is a word written on it in the ancient language of the Xiyi Continent, it seems to be...... Strategy? ”
Wang Lu was surprised: "You actually know the ancient language of Xiyi?" ”
Liulixian grinned and said, "Aya gave me a dictionary of ancient languages a few days ago, and I've memorized it all."
"Well, it's the strongest brain." Wang Lu commented, and at the same time, he also saw the scenery at the end of the line. Ahead, on the surface of a gray stone door, the word "Taolu" was indeed written in quaint handwriting.
"Tautonomy...... Does it mean that the point of this level is to show strategy? ”
As he spoke, Wang Lu crossed the last step of the Glorious Staircase and officially stepped on the square in front of the door. Before he finished speaking, he heard a dull voice in front of him.
"That's right, the point of this level is to show strategy."
As he spoke, a ripple of water rippled on the surface of the stone door.
Wang Lu smiled: "You also lost the treasure of the Golden King, were you punished to guard the door here?" ”
The stone gate said, "Me? I lost a bet to the Golden King, and I couldn't pay the gamble, so I had to come here and admit the punishment. ”
This stone gate, although the voice is dull, but the personality is much more lively than the first stone gate, and there are a lot of words.
"I used to be the leader of a tribe, commanding a powerful army, fighting in the north and south, conquering a large territory, and because of the victory in a hundred battles, I also got the title of a god of war. Unfortunately, I met the Golden King, whose kingdom and army were far superior to mine, and I knew that I could not be his opponent in a hard-fought battle, so I made a bet with him that both sides would bring the same size of army and fight a decisive battle in the Doomsday Mountains, and if I win, his army would never cross my borders from now on, and if I was defeated, I would surrender on the spot, and if I wanted to kill him, I would listen to him. At that time, I believed that my command ability was unparalleled in the world, and even if I was the Golden King, if the army was the same size as me, I would never be able to defeat me...... It's a pity that in the battle of the Doomsday Mountains, I was defeated by him, so I had to surrender obediently. At that time, I heard that the Golden King was cruel and unkind, and I thought that I would definitely die, but he said that as a mongrel, my military talent is rare in the world, and it was a pity to kill me. As soon as I heard it, this seemed to be a hope for survival, so I hurriedly expressed my willingness to use all my talents for it, and if there were any enemies left to me to conquer, anyway, although I couldn't defeat the Golden King, I would still win a hundred battles when I met others. But the Golden King sneered at this, and said, If I can find an enemy worthy of his conquest, it will be a meritorious service for him, and then I will realize that my tribe is already the only one on the continent who has not surrendered to him. ”
Hearing this, the others didn't react much, but Aya was surprised: "The last tribe to be conquered by the Golden King, you are the barbarian war god Tanu?" ”
"Oh, I can't believe that anyone still remembers my name," Shimentanu looked very happy, "Ha Luha, sure enough, the longer you live, the easier it is to encounter surprises." At the beginning, I said that I was willing to sacrifice my skills, but the Golden King said that there was no opponent on the continent worthy of his conquest, and no matter how high my skills were, it would be useless, so he suppressed me in his treasury and showed him the door. Although it was a punishment, it allowed me to maintain immortality for 10,000 years in the form of a stone gate, which is more like a reward from the Golden King."
"Alright, let's get down to business." Tanu restrained his smile and said seriously, "This level is a test of your strategic ability, I will provide you with troops, and you can command these troops to defeat the opponent, even if you pass the level, it's very simple, right?" ”
Wang Lu asked, "It's very simple?" The opponent can't be you, right? ”
Tanuha laughed: "Of course it's me, otherwise who else can it be?" But don't worry, I'm here to guard the door, not to bully people, I don't have many troops, only 400 Golden Guards, 30 Golden Warlocks, 8 Legion Commanders, and I don't end up myself. ”
"And how many troops do we have?"
"Then it's up to you." Tanu said, the surface rippled and flowed, revealing a table.
Wang Lu read the handwriting on the form, and said with some surprise: "Golden Guard, 10 points of logistics, Golden Warlock, point of logistics, 50 points of logistics for the legion commander, in addition to the archers, chariots, and beast cavalry, the number of logistics points required is different...... Is this given a certain number of logistical points, and then let us form armies freely? ”
Tanu said: "Yes, the core of the army is the guarantee of logistics grain and grass, and only with strong logistics capabilities can we support the operation of a huge army. ”
Wang Lu nodded and said: "This design is reasonable, simply put, it is similar to the upper limit of the population." Do you have 4UU Gold Guards, 30 Warlocks, and 8 Commanders, which is 50UU logistics? So how many do we have?
Tanu said, "It's up to you, too, look here." ”
As he spoke, a stone platform rose in front of the stone gate, on which was placed a chessboard with many small squares, on which were two chess pieces and a few dice.
Wang Lu stepped forward to look at it for a while, only to see a winding square on the chessboard, the squares were connected from end to end to form a ring, most of the squares were written with different numbers, and some were painted in a single color. In addition, in addition to chess pieces and dice, there are stacks of cards on the chessboard, as well as some small architectural models. Seeing this, Wang Lu's face couldn't help but change: "This, this is ......"
Tanu smiled: "This is a very popular game on the mainland when I was alive, called Simulated Business Chess"
"Simulation management of your sister, this is clearly a monopoly, right?" Wang Lu stretched out his hand and pointed to the chessboard, "Isn't it just buying land, collecting taxes, and then harming people through various events and props?" ”
Tanu was pleasantly surprised: "I can't imagine that this game even you aliens from the East know it."
“…… Forget it, I'll just think it's a beautiful coincidence, the world is so big, there will always be a few abandoned houses that hurt so much that they designed board games. Anyway, what you mean is that I'm going to play this Monopoly with you, and then decide my logistics points through the number of points settled? ”
Tanu said, "That's right, so it's up to you how many logistics points you have. Of course, I don't bully people, so even if you lose a mess in the business simulation, I'll give you at least 50UU of base points to guarantee the same level as my strength. And on top of that, if you have the ability, you can win all the 20,000 points in my hand in 100 rounds, and then you will have more than ten times my strength. However, I doubt that you can do a warm reminder that when you play chess, you had better protect yourself with all your might to protect the capital of 50uu points in your hand."
Obviously, this former tribal military god has extremely high confidence in his chess skills.
"It's funny, you dare to show off your gaming talent in front of me." Wang Lu sneered and walked to the front of the stone platform, "Since you are bent on death, I will fulfill you." ”
An hour later.
"This, this can't be?"
Shimentanu's shocked voice echoed endlessly in the small space.
On the chessboard, the red chosen by Wang Lu occupies more than ninety percent of the area, Tanu's blue can only be trapped in a corner, and his own chess pieces are simply difficult to move under the red wrap, and with the result of Fang just rolled the dice, his chess pieces went to the red square, so the hope of the last line of the game disappeared.
Wang Lu sighed softly, stood up from the stone platform, and threw the gems in his hand that symbolized the money chips onto the chessboard.
"The ninety-third round of the game is over, and all UU0 points have been reached. Hmph, I didn't expect you, the barbarian military god, to be quite tenacious, and you could survive until the later stage before dying. ”
"This, this can't be." Tanu's voice trembled, still in disbelief. He guarded alone for more than 10,000 years as a gatekeeper on this trial road, during which his only entertainment was to play chess with several other spiritual gatekeepers for fun, and 10,000 years was enough for him to hone his chess skills to perfection, but as time passed, more and more gatekeepers fell and died, and he had a high level of chess skills but could not play, and felt lonely.
More than 80 years ago, he unexpectedly met a group of challengers from outside. Tanu was ecstatic and generously gave them ten chances, in fact just hoping to play a few more rounds with them. But the best result of those challengers was just desperately trying to keep their 50UU capital, and then with the same troops, and a richer and more reasonable combination of troops, they narrowly defeated Tanu.
So Tanu never thought he would lose, and if it weren't for the fact that he was just a stone gate at this time, I'm afraid that this shocking fact would blow his head off the spot - fortunately he doesn't have a head now
"You, what the hell did you do?"
Wang Lu sneered: "The chessboard is yours, the chess pieces are yours, and the dice are also yours, what means can I use?" As he spoke, he reached out and played with the pieces on the chessboard, and asked, "What do you think of my chess skills?" ”
Tanu said very unwillingly: "...... Far better than me. ”
Wang Lu said: "Then logically speaking, there are actually two possibilities for things, first, I am too powerful, and my talent in this kind of game has reached the realm of gods, and no one can stop me. Second, it's not that I'm too strong, it's that you're too weak. ”
"Am I too weak?" Tanu suddenly felt a sense of humiliation at being slighted, "Don't deceive people too much
"Too much deception? You simulated business chess, I actually don't have much contact, not very interested, so I can't talk about being good at it, not to mention that the rules of your game are still the original version 10,000 years ago, and there are many differences with what I have played, and it will take some time to get used to. Even so, I still defeated you by a landslide, is this really me too strong? Speaking of which, where did you get the confidence to think that you were good at chess?
Tanu said with some despair: "Before you, I have not tasted defeat for ten thousand years. ”
"There are two possibilities, first, you are strong; Second, your opponents are weak. And think about it objectively, who have been playing chess with you for the past 10,000 years? Is it the chess king and chess saint collected by the Golden King from all over the mainland? Or is it a group of ordinary people who are not interested in playing chess at all, and can't help but be perfunctory? And the last trialist who came here seemed to be good at chess? ”
"But I've been here for 10,000 years."
Wang Lu sighed: "If you lock two men in a secret room, you won't be able to give birth to children even after 100,000 years, which shows that time is not omnipotent." And the more you play chess with a bunch of mediocre players, the worse your chess skills will only become. Your job is to be a god of war, not a chess master, and if you involve too much energy in such a side-by-side way, you will be as smiling and generous as a knight king who is obsessed with dark cuisine. ”
A certain knight king who is obsessed with dark cuisine is angry: "Hey"
