Chapter 70: The Wager and the Clockwork Elf

Fang Yu was thinking about the other party's name, the other side of the crystal had already completed the handover, Vikki held the crystal and said, "The contestant opposite, don't you think this way of competition is too naïve, why don't we change the way of the competition?" ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned: "Change the way of the game?" For some reason, he subconsciously remembered the chessboard he saw when he entered this room. The things on the chessboard were very similar to the training content on the training software that Shana gave him.

"Leokes' Colosseum," replied Vikki, "in the Second World, it's the most popular way to play the game of the Battle Craftsman, you must have heard of who Leokes is, right?" ”

Fang Yu nodded, the owner of this name is the inventor of the flexible array of walkers, dreadnoughts, and shield defenders, and one of the finest great craftsmen and great alchemists that Kaorin-Ishurian have ever seen. However, the reason why he became the Great Alchemist was not because of his prowess in flexible build design, but because Leox-Spark was the designer and creator of the first magical floating ship ever built in Aitalia, and for this reason he is remembered in the history of this world.

"He's also the creator of the 'Margin' technique," Vikki said, "You're a student of Mr. And-Uriel, who was a famous goblin in the South, and since he has a crush on you, you must be a combat craftsman too?" ”

"That's right!" Sonam's urn voice interjected: "Old blacksmith, your student should be a combat craftsman, right?" I almost forgot about this stubble, how can the competition method of the battle craftsman be used in the competition method of ordinary craftsmen? ”

The dwarf's voice was loud and loud, and the ordinary artisan contestants in the hall couldn't help but have a dark face when they heard this. However, they can only shout 'MMP' in their hearts, because ordinary alchemists are indeed inferior to combat craftsmen, and the apex of the two professions may be on an equal footing, but on top of the history of Aitalia, famous combat craftsmen often have a hand in the craftsman's journey.

But the reverse is not true –

And-Uriel listened to the dwarf's words, and his face was also not very good-looking, he had seen the metal gauntlets of the square plover before, and he was not worried that this young man was not a combat craftsman. However, the confrontation between the battle craftsmen was much more direct and fierce than that of ordinary craftsmen, and Fang Yuan's previous performance made him really doubt how good this little guy really was.

And after the old copper nose lost a game, the people sent this time must be even more powerful than before. To be honest, the multiple parallel skills shown by Li Yuhao before have already made him a little psychologically shadowed.

The old man pondered for a moment, but not for long.

But as his old rival, the dwarf keenly felt his hesitation. Sonam let out a 'ha' in the crystal, and couldn't help but ask a little funny: "Old blacksmith, why don't you speak?" Don't you tell me that the student you picked up is just an ordinary alchemist? ”

“…… Or are we going to play the same way we played? The old dwarf asked tentatively and deliberately.

But André-Uriel heard the teasing meaning of the old thing's words, and a pair of snow-white eyebrows twitched slightly, and his face was clouded. He snorted heavily, and didn't ask Fang Yuan's opinion, but replied with a sinking face: "That's not necessary, old fellow, you can compare as much as you want—"

He agreed happily, and the old dwarf over there couldn't help but pause.

But it was Fang Yu who was really confused, he opened his mouth for a moment, and said, 'Wait-' and pressed it back into his stomach. This is not his game, why don't these people ask him for the opinion of this party, he hasn't agreed yet, has he?

And he knows Leoaks well, but he doesn't have any concept of this so-called battle craftsman's 'beast chess', so there must be some rules for this thing?

He subconsciously wanted to ask, but at this moment, Sylvide's voice came: "Wait a minute. Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart, his ship's officer was always so understanding.

Sylvid picked up the crystal and said, "Mr. Sonan, it's up to you to decide how you want to play, but we have to add a little more, right?" ”

"-What?" Fang Yu is stupid, shouldn't he help him ask what the rules are? What is this again?

"Timber?" The old dwarf over there felt very interesting: "Yes, yes, I should make some bets, the blueprints I lost to the old blacksmith last time have not been earned." I almost forgot, but what are you going to bet on, Albert's little girl? ”

Ander-Uriel grimaced and finally replied, "Old Coppernose, you're thinking too much, and you've lost me more than that-"

This sentence undoubtedly hit the pain point of the old dwarf, and he couldn't help but scold: "Don't forget that you have a lot of troubles, old blacksmith, don't force me to say it in front of everyone." "You dare?" "Why don't I dare?" So the two fell into a confrontation between you and me.

It was Sylvid who interrupted them, "Mr. Sonan, I need the Dulun School Star Solution, you should know that, right?" ”

The old dwarf was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this little princess of the Albert family would need this thing.

It really bothered him. He scratched his head and said, "Ah, that thing...... That's the Elwin family's secret recipe, and there are some ...... in the guild," the old dwarf said, "But this thing is not very easy to ......"

Hearing this, And-Uriel sneered: "The president of the dignified Alchemist Alliance, the number one potions master in the South, is really famous. If you can't take it out, forget it, what is he doing in terms of left and right? ”

"What!?" The old dwarf was angry: "You said who couldn't take it out, I really took it out!" What is the mere star solution, if your student can win, I will give him my last work. ”

"A word?"

"A word is a certainty, a word is a certainty!"

"Ha," And-Uriel said softly, "this old fellow is a bloody fellow this time." ”

Sylvid smiled slightly when she heard this, and glanced back at Fang Yu with a light smile.

Ander-Uriel also turned around and patted the latter on the shoulder: "Little one, this time you must win, not only to teach the old fellow a lesson, but also for yourself." The old bronze nose is a bit embarrassed, but none of his works are not high-quality. ”

That being said, there was obviously a lack of confidence in his tone, not so much to cheer Fang Yu up, but to self-hypnosis.

And Fang Yu froze for a moment, he was about to ask about the rules, but after this beat, he forgot his original purpose for a while. He couldn't help but glance at Sylvide, who had only privately mentioned to his Shipssayer that he was interested in the Dulun School's unique magic solution.

The other party has been remembering it until this moment-

"Come on." The beautiful maiden gave him a thumbs up.

The emotion in Fang Yuan's heart lasted until the craftsmen had set up the arena and André Uriel handed him another crystal.

Fang Yu took the crystal blankly, looked at the chessboard in front of him, André Uriel pushed behind him, and made him take two steps forward - he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted:

Wait?

Wait a minute???

Three huge question marks appeared in his mind one after another.

What about the rules of the competition?

What about the rules of the big game, didn't anyone introduce them to him?

A layer of light was emerging on the light network, and Vikki's voice came from there: "You choose the map." ”

Fang Yu was sweating profusely.

He scratched his head and asked a little embarrassedly, "That, ...... to choose the map?" ”

There was a thud, and this time it wasn't Parker who had bumped into something again, but André Uriel had accidentally knocked a star tracker off the table. Everyone looked back, only to find that the old man was trembling and picking up the star orbiter from the ground.

André-Uriel had a bad feeling in his heart, but he could comfort himself - at least the old coppernose had forgotten to ask him what their bet was, if he had promised to take the last crystal ball as a bet.

Then he really lost all his money.

As soon as Fang Yu said this, he asked, "Are you not familiar with the rules......?" ”

"That's not all ...... either"

Fang Yu actually wanted to say that he didn't know what the rules of this game were, let alone any maps.

But he looked at André Uriel, who was probably about to kill him, thought for a moment, and swallowed the words back into his stomach. Just kidding, after the other party made a categorical bet with the old dwarf, he said that he wouldn't?

Do you think that a legendary alchemist can't deal with himself?

No, what the hell is the answer? If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a student of Ander Uriel, Vikki couldn't help but get angry in her heart, yes, yes, no, no—she hated ambiguous answers the most.

However, Vikki thought about it for a while, and replied patiently, "...... In the tournament rules, we are the one who proposes the way of playing, so you can have priority in choosing the map. ”

But Fang Yu was also very aggrieved in his heart, he listened to it for a long time, and the other party didn't get to the point. The point is, the other party didn't tell him, what are the types of maps? He was confused, so he could only reply a little weakly: "That? Random......? ”

Random?

Vikki couldn't help but grind his teeth and clenched his fist.

There was also a whisper in the hall beside her, and the format of the Leox game was that the contestants on both sides conceived a flexible configuration on a virtual chessboard and competed against each other.

However, because the flexible construction is different, the chessboard is also divided into advantageous maps and disadvantaged maps, and they choose the way of playing, and in terms of the rules of the game, the opponent can naturally choose the first map.

But the other party actually said casually?

In Vikki's opinion, it's not that he looks down on her, it's that he doesn't take her seriously at all.

Since participating in the Continental League, she has defeated many opponents in the name of talent along the way, and is known as one of the supernovas of the younger generation of Guta, and not only in the field of craftsmen, but also in the field of combat craftsmen.

It can be said that Vikki has never felt so despised except for the one time in Elpahim, but she was convinced afterwards, but this time-

Vikki picked up the crystal with a cold face.

Under the stands, the people of the Silver Forest Spear heard that there was a game here, and they also leaned over. This time, they came to participate in the exhibition match on behalf of the Elpakhin Artisan Association, although it was only an exhibition match, but the Elpahim Artisan Association also hoped that through this competition, they could save a little face.

The spear of the silver forest is mainly considered from the aspects of union points and newcomer publicity, so the two sides hit it off. However, in either case, it will take a win over the opponent, and as we all know, their biggest opponents in this match are these young men from Guta.

Among the several contestants of the Silver Forest Spear, a young man with long hair was taking off his control gloves, he raised his head to look at the situation above the stands, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Someone is going to be unlucky." ”

"How?" Little Lori, who was beside Liyue, asked.

"That little Korean girl is very powerful," the long-haired young man had lost to Vikki before: "On our side, I'm afraid only Wu Di is her opponent." ”

"Wu Di?" Mu Xue shook her head: "I don't agree with what you say, don't we still have glass?" Liuli's quality is a little worse, but the level is still there, he is Wu Di's partner. ”

She looked back at Liuliyue beside her, "Did you say, Liuli?" ”

"Shut up." Liyue rolled her eyes in annoyance. However, although his temper is a little worse, he is not arrogant, and he knows very well that he and Wu Di are stained with each other's light, and among the two, he is slightly inferior to Wu Di more than the other party.

This time the guild chose to let Wu Di go to Charter City instead of him, which can explain a lot of things.

However, he also glanced at Vikki in the stands suspiciously, this woman can be an opponent with Wu Di? He really doesn't believe it, often only the partner knows the strength of the partner best, and in this guild, I am afraid that only he can see clearly what level Wu Di is.

This time, however, he rarely spoke.

For he only felt that the voice in the crystal always felt something familiar to him, as if he had heard it there.

Vikki ended up choosing an airspace map, which she didn't want to take advantage of, and it was the map with the least difference between strengths and weaknesses on the chessboard. Above the optical-net chessboard is a large airspace, and below is a perfectly straight grid without any ups and downs.

This map is primarily intended for air combat, but it doesn't get in the way of flexible terrestrial builds.

As for Fang Yuan, he didn't think much of it when he saw this map—or maybe he didn't have much to think about, because he hadn't seen what other maps looked like. He held the crystal, his palms slightly sweaty.

It's not because I'm afraid that the opponent is too strong, but because I'm worried that I won't be judged out because I don't understand the rules, which is too embarrassing.

He had the heart to ask about the rules, but the changes on the field were too fast, and Vikki had already closed his eyes and came up with his own flexible build. There are seven in total, including an Annihilator QV700, two Walkers, two Clockwork Elves, one Shield Defender, and one Dreadnought.

The flexible structure resembles a miniature model, translucent, with a faint silver glow on the light web.

Seven flexible configurations, air and land, far and near, light and heavy, can be said to be quite perfect, into an army of its own. Of course, she can't control so many flexible builds in reality, but under this rule, these abbreviated chess pieces don't need to really build as much computing power as flexible builds.

Seven is her limit.

It's not impossible to have more, but it will affect the performance, so it's better to have no more and no less.

On the other hand, after seeing Vikki's seven flexible configurations, Fang Yu also did the same—he thought to himself, I can't make a mistake if I follow my opponent? So he sank his mind slightly, and he also conceived seven flexible configurations.

It's just that Fang Yuan's experience is obviously not very rich.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the most familiar construct that came to his mind was first a round, copper-colored one, a humiliating universal flexible construct - the clockwork fairy.

By the time he reacted, there had already been one, two, three, four, and five on the field...... Seven clockwork elves.

"Wait a minute," And-Uriel said, holding the star tracker, repeatedly reminding himself not to interfere with the game. Just seeing this scene, the old man couldn't help but ask loudly, "What are you doing?" ”

Fang Yu also looked confused.

Well, it's not his fault. He just made up for it in his brain, but who knew that this chessboard would automatically materialize for him.

Seven clockwork elves.

There was already an uproar in the hall.

Vikki's face was calm and she didn't say a word, she almost clenched her silver teeth, if that wasn't a mockery - there would probably be no more disputes and conflicts in this world.

If she could, the girl almost crushed the crystal in her hand - using seven clockwork fairies to fight herself, no matter how rich her imagination was, no matter how big her brain was, she couldn't figure out how the other party planned to win.

Even Sonam Gangmei on the side couldn't help coughing, and asked embarrassedly: "...... Well, old blacksmith, you student can't just control clockwork elves, ......? ”

The old dwarf's words caused a low laugh in the hall.

Obviously, everyone understands that it is almost impossible for Clockwork Elves to win a game like this.

On the other side of the crystal, André Uriel was gritting his teeth and glaring at the innocent-looking Fang Yuan, almost throwing away the star orbiter in his hand - if it weren't for the face of the little princess of the Albert family.

Only Vikki took a breath before replying, "Let's get started." ”

She was determined to see how the other party planned to win her with seven clockwork goblins.

André-Uriel looked at Fang Yu for a long time, and saw that the latter was weak-hearted. However, it was too late to cancel the game at this time, and he could not afford to lose this adult, so he could only divide the order with the old dwarf with coins in silence.

To the relief of Fang Yu and Vikki at the same time, Vikki's side got the first move.

The reason Vikki breathed a sigh of relief was because she knew she couldn't afford to lose. And the reason for Fang Yuan's relief was more subtle, because he didn't know that he should act on this chessboard.

He was going to observe his opponent's actions first.

Vikki raised his hand and let his clockwork elf take a step forward first—just one step, really, the clockwork elf passed through one grid, and then the next grid stopped, hovering in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yu was slightly stunned.

Because he could see that it was the margin technique—exactly the same training Shana had given him.
