……

It didn't take long for him to make up his mind.

Or decided to make chess.

After all, backgammon or something, it's still too simple, chess is so interesting, I believe Xiao Nannan will like it very much.

"That, I have something to do temporarily, go out first, and come back soon, you wait for me!"

Chen Li said hello and ran straight to the back mountain.

There is a tree there, with a beautiful texture, a sturdy material, and a woody fragrance, which is perfect for making chess board pieces.

Chen Li's departure didn't make much waves, Qingcao watched the two play chess silently, and Luye racked his brains to think about how he could win back a city.

As for Kong Qiaoqiao, those big shining eyes kept staring at the chessboard, and they were not distracted by Chen Li's departure at all.

…………

Back on the hill.

Chen Li used his palm as a knife to cut off a branch of a large tree in the middle of the photo, and used it as a log to make a chessboard.

Then I found a herb that I found by chance and squeezed the juice to make ink.

The juice of this herb is not easy to fade, and the color system is very rich, so it is the best way to color the lines of the chessboard pieces.

This is a natural dye.

In almost a moment, he made two boxy chessboards and four small chess urns into two boxy chessboards with his bare hands.

Because he is going to make two sets of chess, one board with two chess urns, this is for two sets of chess.

There are a total of 32 chess pieces in a single pair of chess, and the two sets are naturally 64 chess pieces, and the chess pieces handmade by Chen Li are round, and the words "chariots, horses, elephants, soldiers, generals, and artillery" are written on them.

It is also divided into black and red.

The font engraved on the chess pieces is the beast script that Xiao Nannan is also familiar with, and the middle does not identify the Chu River Han Realm, but directly replaces it with the word River Boundary, the beast script, which is a new text that Chen Li learned with language symbols when Kong Dong came here.

It's a square type, with a lot of strokes, and it looks a bit complicated, but unexpectedly it's very figurative, and it's clear that it's a pictograph.

Although the words are more difficult to write, it is nothing to him, and the god thinks of a rubbing, and the mana erodes down, and the desired pattern will naturally become.

Looking at the two finished products in his hand, Chen Li's eyes flashed with satisfaction, now that he has the mana divine mind in his body, it is really convenient to want to do something.

Fast, easy, efficient, and beautiful.

This is much better than what he could only do with his hands in the first place.

When Chen Li returned to the living room with two sets of chess pieces, he found that the chess game was not over yet, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Ahem......"

coughed lightly, but there was no reaction, and he couldn't help but aggravate his voice again, coughed, and said, "Can you stop for a while, I brought you two good things, are you interested in taking a closer look?" ”

"Brother Xiaobai, what did you bring?" Kong Qiaoqiao raised his head and asked at this time.

"Wow, wow! It's chess, and it's a fun and very interesting game, but it's a little more difficult than backgammon, but I think I think I'll like it. ”

Chen Li didn't sell it, he directly took out one of the two pairs, quickly put it away, and continued: "You can stop the backgammon first, the rules of chess are different from backgammon, this is a brand new rule, but it should be very simple for you." ”

He explained the rules of chess in detail, and even directly used chess pieces as examples.

For example, how each piece should be moved, and how it should not be moved.

The three girls who watched the two big and one small were all interested, and even Qingcao directly said that they wanted to have a fight with him.

Chen Li was not ambiguous at all, and directly played with Qingcao, and then handed another chess game to Luye and Kong Qiaoqiao, and said with a smile:

"I made a total of two pairs, you can also see how I play with Aunt Eight first, and when you are a little familiar with the rules, you can try to play again, it's very interesting."

"Okay, when I learn it, my brother will come back, and I will play chess with him!" Kong Qiaoqiao's little face was filled with a happy smile.

The rules of chess are very easy to understand, and if you put it in an ordinary person's place, you can play it with a little talk twice, not to mention the few people present, who are not ordinary people.

Chen Li only talked about the rules once or twice, relying on his familiarity with the rules of chess, he won the first two games very easily, and soon gave the grass to the general.

Courage started from the third hand, and he soon discovered a cruel fact, his opponent's chess strength level was about to catch up with him.

The third game was won reluctantly, the fourth game was won with difficulty, and in the fifth game, there was a direct draw, and both sides were left with only a general and a small soldier who had gone over, and they couldn't help each other.

didn't start the sixth game, because Chen Li said very chicken thief that he didn't want to play anymore and wanted to see Xiao Nannan.

This requirement is naturally nothing, and the green leaves and the little girl, who have already itchy hands, start playing directly.

Chen Li, who successfully retreated, also got Qingcao's resentful eyes, as if to say, retreat at the critical moment, is it so difficult for me to win once?

Coughing lightly, he ignored the look, pretending he hadn't seen it.

"Wow, your pony is amazing, you're awesome!"

"Hehe, where is it, Sister Luye's cannon is also very powerful, and she has eaten so many of my generals~"

"Hehe, I'm going to be a general, be careful!"

"There are no sisters in the chess game, I won't show mercy, don't be careless!"

"Ah, Nan, I made a mistake in this move, can you make me regret it?"

"Hey, why didn't I count this step? No, let's do it again! ”

The two quickly re-immersed themselves in the game of chess.

Once again, the only two spectators in the audience looked at each other.

"Anyway...... Has Aunt Seven's chess pieces always been like this? Chen Li couldn't help but ask.

In exchange, Qingcao nodded affirmatively: "Well, she has always been like this." ”

"Mouthful." He looked at him with an expression that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "I see." ”

In fact, the green leaves pouted, and the little appearance of regretting chess is still quite cute.

The main thing is that it can't be compared, especially when the object of her regret is a little girl, such a picture is a little unbearable to look at.

In fact, Chen Li's heart was quite happy.

The more Aunt Seven behaves like this, doesn't it mean that all the people present are people she can trust?

That's why he didn't care about the disguise at all, and revealed his true feelings.

"What's that, Eighth Aunt, I suddenly remembered that there was still something to deal with, so I took a step to say goodbye!" Chen Li suddenly said at this time.

After speaking, he turned around and left directly, without even packing up the chessboard, running so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This guy ......," Grass pouted.

But her expression was not seen by Chen Li, otherwise her heart would definitely be like a deer again.

The other side.

Chen Li's sudden departure, of course, was not an excuse to find casually because he felt a little embarrassed.

There really is something.

Because he suddenly remembered that his little mushroom didn't seem to have been fed yet, and it would be bad if it died.

No matter how you say it, it's a small life, if it dies unexpectedly because of negligence, Chen Li may feel guilty for a long time.

Quickly walked into his cultivation room, looked inside, and saw the big mouse with golden fur lying lazily on the ground, motionless, eating a mouthful of golden particles from the plate next to his head from time to time.

On its head, there is a small translucent mushroom the size of a finger that is flashing and emitting light, and from time to time it will jump up and down in place, and then fall back under the effect of gravity.

What is that little mushroom that isn't his?

Looking at this scene, Chen Li's face darkened.

He thought that this little mushroom would be very uncomfortable without him, but what did he see? Have fun jumping on your pet rat's head!

When I was in my own hands, why didn't I see you so active?

While eating in my heart, I also couldn't cry or laugh.

It seems that he is worried in vain.

In addition to sunlight and water, the only nutrients needed for the growth of small mushrooms are companionship.

Chen Li didn't know what the principle was, anyway, Kong Donglai explained it to him, just do it.

Because he wants to accompany the little girl, he puts his little mushroom here in the gold-eating mouse, and asks his little pet to help take care of it, and when he is free, he will come back to accompany the little mushroom in person.

But at the moment, Chen Li didn't expect this scene, because the gold-eating rat made the little mushroom so active, but it couldn't see any difference from usual, so it lay there and ate gold.

Chen Li nodded - it seems that the gold-eating rat is very suitable for accompanying the little mushroom, and it will not delay his time, so he decided so happily, let it accompany the little mushroom every day in the future.

"Master, why are you here?" At this time, the gold-eating rat spotted Chen Li, and an anthropomorphic flattering smile suddenly appeared on the rat's face, "Are you here to test my cultivation results?" ”

"No, what is there to forbid about your cultivation results, I came to see the little mushroom, since it is so happy under your care, then the responsibility of taking care of it in the future will be handed over to you, no problem, right?"

Chen Li stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"No problem, no problem at all!" Hearing this, both eyes lit up, and the gold-eating rat responded busily, almost patting his chest for reassurance.

Is it okay for a fool not to agree?

In its opinion, isn't it necessary to do things to complete the tasks assigned by the master, not to mention that its own master has always been generous.

Even if he didn't say it directly, in the end, if he completed the task he assigned very well, he would definitely have a suitable reward.

It's a big deal to just take care of a weird little mushroom, even if it likes to eat its own hair, it's not a problem at all!

When you have gold to supplement your hair, you can have as much as you want, isn't it just hair, you can take as much as you want!

The gold-eating rats were very happy, and Chen Li was even happier.

With the help of the gold-eating rats, he doesn't have to take care of the little mushrooms every day.

Well, when the time comes, reward it with some genius treasures, after all, these things are not lacking at all, it seems to like it, there is no merit and hard work, it is indeed worth rewarding.

I don't know what kind of abilities I'm going to awaken when I grow up, a little mushroom?

Chen Li first thought for a moment, quickly collected his mood, and said to the gold-eating rat:

"It's okay, then I'll go first, remember to take care of it." Oh, by the way, there's one more thing, if something happens along the way, you can just call me with the power of the contract, and I'll come as fast as I can. ”

After Chen Li finished speaking, he left directly.

Decisive and crisp.

"Okay, understood, master!" The gold-eating rat nodded in understanding, and the man stood up and saluted Chen Li's back.

After confirming that Chen was gone, the gold-eating rat seemed to be instantly drained of energy, and collapsed suddenly, no different from the performance he had seen in the city just now.

The gold-eating rat was lying on the ground, its small mung bean-sized eyes shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The movements in his mouth did not stop for a moment, and he kept stuffing some gold into his mouth.

As for the little mushroom on top of the gold-eating mouse's head, it didn't take long for it to bounce and then devour the insignificant strand of golden hair on the top of its head, and there was no change at all in appearance.

Chen Li walked very simply, and without much effort, he returned to the living room.

The picture he saw was no longer the same as before, where Xiao Nan Nan fought against Green Leaves, but the two sisters Qingcao and Green Leaf played chess by themselves, and Xiao Nan watched with relish.

"Yo, you're back from a busy day? I thought you would have to wait a long time to come back in this game, but I didn't expect to come back so early, which was a bit unexpected to me. ”

There was a teasing voice in her ears, but it was so good, it was Qingcao, she actually communicated with her own mind when she was playing chess with Xiao Nannan?

Chen Li was a little surprised, but still replied, "When you're done, you'll naturally come back." ”

"And what did you just do? If so, can you disclose it? Qingcao asked.

Chen Li didn't think much about it and replied: "Well, it's actually nothing, there is something that can't be revealed, what happened just now is actually a serious matter, because I suddenly remembered that my little mushroom hadn't been with me yet, and I was worried that it wouldn't grow big in the future, or even die, so I hurriedly went back to accompany it." ”

"So, speaking of which, we haven't accompanied the little mushroom yet, it's really a mistake......"

"No, this game will be over, in case there is really a three-long and two-short, then there will be no place to reason......"

After Chen Li's reminder, as if he suddenly remembered something, Qingcao said in surprise.

But on the surface, he didn't see the slightest change, and he still played chess with his sister calmly, and quickly defeated his opponent with his superb chess skills.

"No, this one doesn't count, I got it wrong, let me regret it, let me regret it!" At this time, the voice of the green leaf not relenting came.

"Okay, it's all up to you, anyway, you're going to lose in the end, hahahaha~" Qingcao said with a grin.
