On December 31, 2020, at nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Qing and his two-color ball classmates sat in front of the table face to face, and a boxy chessboard was placed on the table, with black lines crisscrossing and black and white chess pieces entangled on the chessboard, representing the brain and intelligence of the people on both sides, and it was a contest between the souls and wills of both sides. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Pale Flame went online again, and when he came out of the toilet, he saw that the chess pieces on the board were almost full, and the two of them looked very serious with focused expressions, and they were embarrassed to disturb them for a while, just quietly watching from the side.

At this time, the black and white colors on the chessboard still seem to be evenly matched, you have me, I have you. Lin Qing slowly raised his right hand, held the black chess pieces between his index and middle fingers, and slapped it on the chessboard with a "snap", and then, the corners of his mouth seemed to show a smile with a dark aura.

The two-color ball didn't look at the chessboard, just stared at Lin Qing's face, and after seeing Lin Qing's smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, raised his hand, pressed it to his eyes, adjusted his contact lenses, carefully stared at the position of Lin Qing's previous drop, frowned and thought. After a while, he raised his eyes, looked at Lin Qing's serious expression, sneered, and put the chess pieces on the other side.

"Hey, playing chess, hoping to win by observing others, can only be effective in low-end games, the evil king's true eyes." Lin Qing's smile this time was really full of malice, "The great senior of the sages of the realm, Senior Colonel Chu once said, 'The human heart cannot be grasped, but the general trend is irresistible', so we just need to control the overall situation, understand?" ”

"it!" Xiao Cang looked dumbfounded beside him, "Although I have always thought that Lin Qing is a high-IQ talent, I have always thought that he is just a tease...... I didn't expect him to play chess so seriously, and he could say such a compelling line - wait, this kind of impression reversal plot or something, it's not suitable for me to be a man, right? ”

Not to mention Xiao Cang's complaining and self-complaining from a high-dimensional perspective, although Lin Qing said something that seemed to be very awesome and reasonable with the attitude of a teacher, the two-color ball classmate was unmoved, and just sneered and said: "Of course, it is very important to grasp the overall situation, but you only need to control the so-called 'overall situation' or something, that is the line that you say by forcibly justifying yourself under the premise that you can't see through people's hearts, isn't it?" Of course, people who don't have a heart themselves can't understand what a human heart is, right, forerunner? ”

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows, leaned back slightly, and his smile seemed to be a little happy: "Heh, if you can perfectly grasp people's hearts, then naturally-but, ah, no one can know what others are thinking, right?" Personally, I don't even know if the world outside of me really exists, and if everything is as I expected, I really have to wonder - ahem. ”

Halfway through speaking, Lin Qing suddenly remembered something, glanced at Xiao Cang, then smiled at Xiao Cang, looked at the two-color ball again, shrugged his shoulders, and continued: "All in all, this kind of thinking of yours is not only wrong, but also very dangerous. Of course, if you can perfectly grasp the dynamics of each point, the overall situation naturally does not need to be said, but into what I just said, what you said is impossible? Young people, wake up early! ”

The sneer of the two-color ball still hung on his face: "Forerunner, why do you bother...... Although what we're talking about now seems to be awesome, and it sounds like you're more reasonable, we all understand it, right? We're all just talking nonsense. Just as my observation of my opponent is a façade, your rhetoric is just a bluff, right? To be honest, although your mind is wild and you have amazing talent in acting, your chess skills are really miserable......"

"Cut ......" Lin Qing pursed his lips, "I don't need to say anything about my instant tactical ability, I, who have already exposed this point a long time ago, is already a perfect existence with no weaknesses!" Besides, even if my chess skills are miserable, haven't you played with me for so long? Lin Qing said, falling again, blocking the way of the two-color ball Baizi.

"Huh? What does it mean for so long? Xiao Cang, who was watching from the sidelines, felt a little puzzled, he had been in the game for nearly twenty days, and most of the time he was doing nothing to pass the time - no, it should be the state of doing tasks, and he had a basic understanding of many things in this world, "Aren't they playing Go?" Even if one side plays badly and wants to fill the board, it will take a long time anyway, right? ”

"Hey, that makes sense." The smile of the two-color ball suddenly became a little cheaper, "It is worthy of being a pioneer, and when the defeat is decided, I can still pretend to be so calm, and bet that I have not found a chance of winning." That's why I've told Coughing Up Blood Ray a long time ago, as a leader, you may not be competent, but as a pioneer, fighting on the front line - a madman, you are indeed close to perfection.

"But then again, four-three-three, three-three, one of them is about to be achieved, and I won this game."

"It's backgammon! , what kind of strategy and performance can you talk about when you play backgammon! Lin Qing, you play backgammon and use such a gesture in the middle two, making a picture that seems to be a chess piece on the table, there will be gorgeous images and a strong BGM behind you! ”

"Xiaocang, you actually use this kind of unpopular old stalk, I'm very pleased. It seems that the task of 'watching a hundred ancient-level cartoons' is very effective - I'll just say, as the main force of the Tucao Army, Pale Yan, if you can't complain about the use of stalks, you have to add a sentence every time, 'Although I don't know what you're talking about', then the rhythm of this spit can't bear to look at it directly. Lin Qing leaned back, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded as if satisfied, and slowly applauded.

"Well, Evil King True Eyes, your chess skills are indeed superb, and your ability to observe your opponents is indeed very strong - and you also wittily say that this is just a façade or something, perfectly implementing the policy of the fighters who are active on the front line, 'never tell a meaningful truth'.

But, but, as I said, 'grasp the human heart,' it's very difficult. After all, you are just a human being, and you can grasp every point perfectly, which is a state that God may not be able to achieve.

So, do you — really think you've won? ”

Hearing this, the two-color ball frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he scanned every point on the board seriously and quickly, perhaps because he felt nervous, his hands subconsciously clenched into fists, and they became tighter and tighter. Xiao Cang, who was watching from the sidelines, saw that the situation had changed, so he stopped complaining and observed the situation on the plate.

Half a minute later, due to the excessive nervousness before, fine beads of sweat had already flowed from the door of the two-color ball's head, but her face showed a comfortable expression, and the original calm smile hung on the corner of her mouth again.

"Forerunner, you are always so reluctant to admit defeat, but no matter what, you have no skills in this game."

"Well, in this game, maybe that's true." Lin Qing shrugged his shoulders with a smile, nodded in approval of the words of the two-color ball, and then the smile on his face suddenly added a bit of a strange atmosphere, and his tone became a little frivolous, "But, my dear Evil King True Eyes, can you please recall, what did I say about this game?" ”

"Huh?" The two-color ball furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, and said slowly as he recalled, "We sat down for a while after we got back to your house, and then you said-"

An hour ago, that is, at eight o'clock, Lin Qing and the two-color ball had a preliminary idea of the next various conspiracies, and further details they all thought that improvisation would be more effective when it came to the specific execution, so the two fell into a strange state of silence.

"Uh-what is this...... What the hell is this awkward silence in the atmosphere! The two of us aren't on a blind date, I'll go! Lin Qing, who was not very accustomed to looking at others silently like this, finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to complain loudly.

“…… Forerunner, have you ever been on a blind date? "The two-color ball chooses an eerie entry point for dialogue......

"That's not where you should be concerned! Can't you complain like this if you haven't participated in a blind date? In this way, those who say, 'It's worse than,' have eaten! Lin Qing rolled his eyes, stood up and rummaged through things in the cabinet, "Before Xiao Cang goes online, you can't leave for the time being, it's boring to waste time, why don't we play a game." ”

"Games?" The two-color ball tilted its head and smiled with interest, "Are the two NPCs getting together to play a game?" Well, it's not uncommon. So, what to play? Do you play chess? As he spoke, the two-color ball looked at the chessboard that Lin Qing took half a minute to turn over, "What chess?" ”

"Well, what else can you play, it's unfair for me to say complicated rules, right? So let's just play the normal game that everyone knows the rules, let's say rock-paper-scissors? Lin Qing put the chessboard on the table with a smile on his face, and then rummaged through the cabinet again, "Although I like original games very much, we don't have much time - well, on the chessboard, you are white and I am black, how about the first person to win?" ”

“…… It's just a five-piece streak, right......" The two-color ball spit out a groove, and then nodded.

"We're not playing backgammon." Lin Qing's expression suddenly became serious, he stretched out his two hands, and made a gesture of quotation marks in the air, "It's an 'ordinary game with common rules', okay?" ”

"......" The two-color ball stared at Lin Qing with a strange expression for a while, and sighed, "Okay, maybe I was just attracted by your secondary disease...... We're playing an ordinary game with common rules, okay? ”

Lin Qing's smile was very happy, but now that he thinks about it, the two-color ball always feels that his smile is very curious: "That's it." ”

…………

"Uh-so, we're not playing backgammon?" The face of the two-color ball is a little green.

"Well, no one said we played backgammon, right?" Lin Qing spread his hands with a smile on his face, "Regarding this game, when you asked me 'what to play', you handed over the formulation of this game to me." After that, I'll tell you about the game - first, the guy on the board wins, and you haven't succeeded yet, have you? ”

The two-color ball was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to grab a few chess pieces and slapped them on the chessboard. However, his movements seemed to be completely expected by Lin Qing, I saw Lin Qing with a very cheap smile on his face, gently pulled, pulled the chessboard aside, and let the chess pieces in the two-color ball hand shoot empty, and then raised his hand with a smile and raised the chessboard upright, and the chess pieces fell down one after another because of the effect of gravity, jumping on the floor, black and white.

"The response was good, and I quickly understood the essence of such a thing as 'rules'. If nothing else, the basic rule that should be in the game is that the rules do not prohibit it, so you can do it. Of course, a lot of games on our side can't do this due to hardware limitations, which is disappointing. Lin Qing said and shook his head.

Lin Qing suddenly slapped his head, then turned around, dodged the hand of the two-color ball to grab the chessboard, proudly compared the scissor hand, and then continued: "Well, it's off topic when you talk about it, it's not a good habit." Going back to the topic just now, the second point I'll tell you about our game, which is another way to decide the outcome of the game-"

As he spoke, Lin Qing flattened his scissor hand and put it on the hand where the two-color ball stretched out, and clamped the other party's palm with his index and middle fingers: "Come on, come on, I'll give you a tutor on Chinese knowledge at the elementary school level." When I say to you, 'For example' or 'how', I'm obviously serious about giving you advice, and even then I say 'on the board' how to decide whether to win or lose, that's just an additional rule, right? ”

"So, rock-paper-scissors, my scissors on your paper, this game is my win."

"it!" Pale Yan stood beside him and was shocked, "Is this okay?" Are you kidding me? ”

However, the two-color ball was not so surprised, just looked at the two fingers of Lin Qing holding his palm, and smiled a little specially: "I see-'ordinary game with common rules', is that what it means......"

Suddenly, the smile of the two-color ball became very happy: "It is worthy of being a pioneer." If the rules don't prohibit it, then you can do it; The rules are mentioned in the limits, and the game is not as simple as it seems on the surface - I get what you mean. ”

"it!" Xiao Cang stood on the side and couldn't close his mouth anymore, "I said two-color ball, why are you so teachable!" Don't you think he's going to teach you something to play with you? You're thinking too much, you're thinking too much! Let me tell you, Lin Qing's teasing is completely because he refuses to admit defeat, so he relies on this crooked reasoning to try to turn the tables! Yes! ”

With a scream, the pale flame and the blood on Lin Qing's dagger gradually turned into white shards......

"How so? My pet, Pale Flame, you know too much. Lin Qing shook his hand, and then blew the tip of the dagger with a seemingly windy movement, as if he had just shot someone else blowing the muzzle......
