Chapter 22: The Chess Master
In Jiang Shang's battle group, Si Luer, who has presided over the family business since childhood, is at least an excellent businessman, while his temporary teammate Zhao Xiaosong is a veritable profiteer.
Two professional businessmen, plus his own crooked ideas, originally, he thought that it would not be difficult to find some money-making work, but now it seems that he is thinking too simply.
This is the cradle of the night watchman, and whether it is the student of that academy, the thirst for excellent equipment is endless, and good equipment is linked to expensive in many cases, coupled with the existence of a large number of luster soul power in the Orange Academy, the channels that can earn money may have been exhausted.
"Do a restaurant? Got into the food industry? Are you sure that the group of foodies who are competing for the over-variation line? There are already quite a few food clubs on campus. ”
"Equipment repair services with ink knowledge? Please, the ranking of the ink research institute on this island is much higher than that of Haiming City, plus other research institutions, our level is probably only enough for our own use. ”
"Fight in the ring to earn a bonus? Well, I know this is Penglai, when I didn't say. ”
"Scholarships? Let's not talk about how to improve your grades to the top batch, the first batch of scholarships will not be possible until the next semester. ”
"Student loans? Are you sure you want to borrow money from those profiteers? ”
One proposal after another was rejected, and in Penglai, where there were many heroes, the group of people who were originally outstanding in Haiming City seemed a little ordinary, and Jiang Shang fell into the realm of a hero who was stumped by a penny.
Even though it seemed that he was desperate, Jiang Shang still had no intention of touching Sun Hongling's money, even if Sun Hongling had clearly handed over the money to Jiang Shang.
"Want to get rich overnight? I'm afraid that normal means can't do it, and the only way is to gamble! ”
After a round of inquiry, the mysterious Zhao Xiaosong said again.
"Bet? How much can you earn with the odds of 1.02? Thinking of that amazing odds, Jiang Shang shook his head.
"It's not about that, it's this."
On a poster for recruiting new people. It is a topographic map of mountains and cliffs, and on top of it, there are all kinds of black and white chess pieces.
"War chess game? Isn't this entertainment, can it make money? ”
Silul chimed in. "There are only sixteen kinds of chess pieces in the people, 120X120 maps, but in fact it is a game that simulates the battlefield in real life, the more masters play the bigger the chessboard, the more types of chess pieces, it is said that playing this is very helpful to command, and the military academy even has a professional discipline."
"Yes. Most of the chess masters in various places are also regarded as future conductors, and they have the title of chess master, which is more valid than any conducting certificate. Penglai is popular with seventy-two kinds of chess pieces, 1028X4000 standard chess games, the top masters, and even more than 200 kinds of chess pieces, 10000X10000 chessboard, plus a variety of random factors and terrain factors, the difficulty is extremely high. ”
"I inquired. There are more than 100 various chess clubs in Penglai, and there are more than 20 self-appointed chess saints and chess saints given by others, and among the ten strongest chess saints who are recognized, the sixth-ranked 'bad gambler' Hou Sijiu likes to gamble chess with others. 100,000 rounds, those who come will not refuse.
Vaguely, Jiang Shang had already guessed what Zhao Xiaosong meant.
"You mean the Great Derivation Technique? But isn't it excessive? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaosong burst out laughing. seems to be laughing at Jiang Shang's naivety.
"Ha, Ashan, you're stupid at reading. There are only winners and losers on the battlefield. That's excesses and cheating. Besides, those masters are not good at calculations, the Great Yanxing Recipe is considered cheating, and the Xiaoyan Star Trick and Zhuge Divine Number Deduction are not cheating? Lost to a bad gambler, and the people who lost their fortunes did not complain, what are you holding up? ”
But then, Jiang Shang still had a sad face.
"I've never been down, how can I compare."
How could Jiang Shang be in the mood for entertainment in the past, not only had Jiang Shang never played a war chess game, but he didn't even know the rules.
"So, I went to the library and rented chess games and rule books, and also, went and bought this."
Simple plastic chess pieces can be used to knock people's rule books, round table-like chess games.
The more he looked at the rule book, Jiang Shang was a little excited, and he felt that he saw the new shijie, the shijie that only he could master.
"Okay, I'll try it first, don't blame me for not playing well."
But Zhao Xiaosong said with a straight face.
"Although it didn't cost a lot of money, this is my first investment in the night watchman shijie, and it is a good sign to do business, Jiang Shang, I trust your strength and potential, and you also have to trust my vision, rest assured, you can do it."
Si Luer also nodded again and again, seemingly full of confidence in Jiang Shang.
"Come on, Jiang Shang, the living expenses are all up to you, you can do it."
Others' confidence in themselves is higher than their own, and Jiang Shang, who smiled bitterly, could only bury his head in the sea of books.
"Did you hear that? The third place in the chess list has been replaced. ”
"Oh, that's a big deal. That Emperor Alexander lost? When did it happen? ”
"Yesterday's incident, a guy with a monkey head toy mask, asked Hou Si to drink and gamble on chess, and directly asked to bet ten games, which is a million. Immediately, all the chess clubs were alarmed, and everyone ran to watch. ”
"Since the chess saint list Tanhua has been replaced, the sixth-ranked bad gambler has lost very badly."
"No, in the first game, the two sides tried to use a standard chess game of 1028X4000, and it was played for more than half an hour."
"How different are the two sides?"
"No, no, Hou Wenjiu has an overwhelming advantage, there are two hundred and sixty chess pieces on both sides, and when it comes to the endgame, there are more than two hundred gamblers, and the guy with the Wukong mask only has six chess pieces."
"It's been so long, but that person won't admit defeat?"
"Yes, it's over, and the gambler laughed at the other party, 'I kind of know that you want to wear a mask, but I'm afraid of being embarrassed.' However, before you ask me to play chess, at least figure out the rules, and that's not how you give away money for free. ’”
"Bad gamblers are indeed famous, but they are also famous for telling the truth, and they don't even know the rules! How did that guy get on the chess list? ”
"Yes, in the second game, it was also played for 30 minutes, and the gambler still won, but this time, the rotten gambler who held white only had more than 80 chess pieces left, but his cheeks were all sweat. Obviously, it was not easy to win, and this time, he didn't say anything, just stared at the chess game with a blue face. ”
"The third game?"
"The third game was even more exciting, it was still a bad gambler to win, and that game was only ten minutes old, but before black was checkmated, there were only ten white pieces left. The two sides played a quick confrontation, and the masked man made a fatal mistake and was eaten by the main force. Either who loses or who wins is unknown. ”
"Interesting! Is it to hide strength, or to grow in actual combat? ”
"Ten rounds have been agreed, what's the point of hiding strength. After that, someone re-enacted the chess game, and there was a guess that the masked man was still a rookie who hadn't played many games in the first game, and by the third game, it was already similar to the chess master's chess strength. ”
"One person is like a rainbow, the more he goes down, the stronger he gets, and the other person is forced into a corner. There are still seven rounds, and the pressure in his heart is all on Hou Wenjiu, if he can't stand it...... Next, it must be one-sided. ”
"Yes. In the next three games, the mask man won, and the fourth game lasted seven minutes and the fifth game was five minutes, all of which were quick attacks and crushing. Game 6......."
"What's going on in the sixth game, and there are variables? How long has it been down? ”
Hou Wenjiu defended with all his might, and he couldn't shrink back. It went down for twenty minutes, and then ......"
"And then it was breached?"
"No, his chess pieces can still hold up, but his body can't stand it first. At first, his eyes were bleeding and tearful, and then he found that he touched it in disbelief, saw his hands full of blood, and then vomited two mouthfuls of blood, and fainted directly. There was a black courtyard on the spot, and he directly said that his mental power was excessive, and he was forced to urge himself, and his brain was overdrawn, and he was given a one-month suspension list. ”
"Holy, that's the end of it? Although it is a no-lose-or-win ending, the drunkard himself and his Fengxiao Chess Club are considered to have lost face. ”
"Yes, by the time of the sixth game, there were already three layers inside and three layers outside, at least hundreds of pairs of eyes staring, Feng Xiao Chess Club could afford to lose this face, so their president, Mu Yuxin, the fourth in the chess holy list, was on top of it."
"Mu Yuxin? I remember that there is a saying that Mu Yuxin's chess skills are actually very average, but because she is in the same Fengxiao Chess Club and is a female president, for the sake of the stability of the club, Hou Wenjiu let her be. Even if it's just a rumor, Mu Yuxin is one rank higher than Hou Wenjiu, and the strength is limited, so I'm not optimistic. ”
"You've finally been blinded for a while. Two minutes and twenty seconds, thirty hands in a row, and he was checkmated. The masked man said the second sentence of his appearance. ”
"What did you say?"
"He seemed to be whispering to himself, 'You're so weak? How to exclude the front', although it was very quiet, but the guy around him who was not sensitive to ears and eyes, and there was a lion orc in the front row who heard it, and the lion's roar was repeated, and everyone heard it, and they laughed all at once. ”
"Ha, I have a little sympathy for Mu Yuxin."
"Yes, I immediately cried, and it was the first time I had ever seen someone cry like this. No wonder her name is Yuxin, tears are like falling rain, and crying is like a ringtone. ”
"Shouldn't it end there? I remember that Mu Yuxin seems to be very beautiful and has many suitors, so someone should stand up for her. ”
"Well, but at this level, force is not the solution to the problem, and if you can't play chess, it will only be more humiliating to use force. As a result, someone invited Alexander, who was in the fourth grade. ”
"Chess Saint Bang Tanhua, the guy who even changed his original name because he worshiped Alexander the Great. Although he said that, he had already been selected by the Cagaro Warband, one of the Nine Yaos, and he was a top-tier battlefield commander in the Military Academy. ”
"Yes, it's annoying, but that man does have a lot of pride."
"The result? Say it. Don't worry about it. ”
"The result? As a result, it was a big fuss, and all the soldiers and colleges were alarmed, and all the teachers and colleges in the school ran out to watch chess, and halfway through the first game, they were stopped by Dean Ai Qing of the Bingjia Academy. ”
"Stop? That masked man can't hold on? ”
"No, Dean Ai Qing said that the chessboard was too small and boring, so he directly activated the human chess square of the Bingjia Academy and let them play where."
“…… It's a 100,000 x 100,000 chess game, and it hasn't been started in recent years. ”
"Yes, it's a giant chessboard that uses the square as a chessboard, and the super chessboard that hasn't been moved for three years has been activated, and as soon as the news comes out, it spreads more and more, and half of the academy people have gone to watch the battle."
"Oh, I weishenme was going into retreat yesterday and missed such an opportunity. It's exciting, isn't it? ”
"Yes, of course wonderful. There are 400 kinds of black chess pieces and more than 2,000 pieces. refers to an army of 200,000, 350 kinds of white chess, and more than 3,000 chess pieces, referring to an army of 300,000, and the masked man takes the lead in black, and the first step is to provoke a seven-sided battle at the same time, fighting on multiple fronts. ”
"Provoke seven sides at the same time? Did Alexander cope with it? ”
"I can't handle it. Alexander replaced defense with offense, and once again provoked three new points of confrontation, which directly turned into a chaotic situation. ”
"That's amazing. Ordinary Heavenly Strategists can only count on all sides at the same time, these two people directly start a war on ten sides, they are both monsters. The result? Who won? ”
"The two sides played rapid chess, and it also took an hour and a half, Zuihou played the endgame, and Alexander's remaining chess pieces were more than twenty, and he was considered to have won."
"The eighth inning? Who won? ”
"Both sides are tired. It took a full half an hour of rest to play the eighth game, and as a result, it was still an endgame, but this time. There are few chess pieces that are different, and they all still have a way to live, which is a tragic situation for both sides. Dean Ai Qing Zuihou ruled to a tie. ”
"The masked man is getting stronger, and no one knows who he is? Is it a freshman? ”
"I guess it's a freshman. After all, he was wearing a uniform and didn't wear any insignia. Yes, don't interrupt. The ninth game was the best of the ten, and it's a shame you didn't go. ”
"Stop appetizing, say it."
"The two sides fought hard for three hours, fighting on multiple fronts, fighting each chess piece, each high ground one by one, zuihou, Alexander showed his ability to press the bottom of the box, everyone knew that he would be called Alexander."
"Weishenme, isn't it idolatry? It's boring. ”
"No, no, when the battle was at its climax, when the battle was deadlocked, the Star Hero Soul appeared behind Alexander!"
"The phantom of the heroic soul? He's a Star Soul Bearer?? ”
"Yes, everyone knows that he changed his name to Alexander after accepting the star soul of Alexander the Great, and it is no wonder that his chess ranking soared from the end of the third grade, from the twelfth to the second all of a sudden. No one will say that his chess strength is not worse than the previous two, but he just didn't have a chance to compete. ”
"Hey, as soon as the star shadow of the heroic soul appears, it means that the star soul strong man is fully open, Alexander's strength should skyrocket, that mask man is a pity, who called Alexander has a star soul, not a crime of war."
"No, no, behind Alexander came out the King of Conquest, and behind that masked man there was also a star hero!! The two sides are still tied. ”
"Heroic soul too? Who is the military strategist? ”
"An old gentleman in a cloth who fishes the rivers and lakes alone, originally, everyone was still speculating, but as a result, the heroic soul suddenly lifted the rod, and the fishing rod was actually a straight hook, and then, the fish actually took the initiative to fish!"
"Daxian Tiger became stupid, he was quite like an ordinary person back then, he forgot about the rivers and lakes and fished the princes, and the ancestors of a hundred families were a thousand soldiers! Jiang Taigong, Jiang Ziya! ”
"Yes, the scene immediately became lively. The thousand-year-old martial saint is against the emperor of the West, the heroic soul is against him, and the chessboard is blooming everywhere, Dean Ai Qing can still help explain it a while ago, and later, he only has the kung fu to watch. ”
"So who won?"
"Hehe, you didn't see that, and you regret it for the rest of your life. That conquering king was attacking continuously, wave after wave, that Jiang Shang, but he was cunning and patient, and if he couldn't fight head-on, he opened another battlefield, consuming the opponent's strength like a grinding plate, and hit Zuihou, Jiang Shang's frontal battlefield was lost, but his main force had already dispersed into more than thirty waves, and it was in full bloom. ”
"Who won? Don't beat around the bush, I'm in a hurry. “
"Jiang Shang! He turned small victories into big victories, and in the end, with a big picture view, before being annihilated, he won two sons of Alexander! The king of the other party will be killed. ”
"Oh, I've long seen which Alexander is unhappy, always proud and looks down on people."
"Heh, others have proud capital, they haven't graduated, they have all become six-star night watchmen, and they are still favored by Jiuyao, and there are powerful star souls. Well, this man has all the benefits and always looks down on people, and I actually hate him too. ”
"There's also a round of zuihou, how's it going? Didn't you say that the ninth game was the most exciting, and the tenth game was not good? ”
"Actually, up to now, that Jiang Shang's star soul bearer can only say that he and Alexander have a tie of one win, one loss and one draw, and the reason why he won the position of Tanhua on the chess holy list is because of the tenth game. Ahem, I've been talking for so long, I'm a little thirsty. ”
"Okay, I'll ask you to drink, don't be appetizing."
"Hehe, then brother, I'm disrespectful. In the tenth game, there were still so many chess pieces, but it didn't take long. It was over in less than an hour. ”
"The end? Did Jiang Shang's Star Soul Bearer win? ”
"Yes, I won."
"That's the end of it, isn't it the climax? The details? ”
"No orgasms, no details. The battle unfolded, the parties fought, the ordinary ended, and Alexander lost all at once. Zuihou calculates the chess pieces, when Alexander's white chess is completely destroyed, that Jiang Shang still has two-thirds of the chess pieces, and it is a completely overwhelming victory, and the game just now made him stronger again! “
"It's horrible."
"yes, terrible. You don't know where Alexandre is after this game, and you don't know what's going on. And the scene, which was originally very enthusiastic, cooled down all of a sudden. After sealing Alexander, it is so strong that it is incomprehensible, and can only be described as terrible. ”
".......If he is my captain or regimental commander, if he is my enemy."
"Yes, war chess is the deduction of the battlefield, and at that time, probably, everyone was thinking about it. Later, after Dean Ai Qing invited Jiang Shang's star soul bearer to enter the military academy for a detailed discussion, the scene came alive again. ”
"Has that person become the leader of the chess list? Are the top two not responding? ”
"Probably all went hunting. Now everyone is waiting for them to come back, and when they see it, they will be Penglai's chess saints! ”
"By the way, has his identity been revealed? Is there a title? ”
"It should be a new student, and the teachers should know about it, but it hasn't been announced. If you have the title, the flying shoes have helped the newspaper, the chess saint, the lone fisherman! ”
"Solo fishermen? Fishing alone? Hehe, that madman in the world is finally going to encounter a challenge. It's not good, the name of Penglai Chess Saint is going to be changed. ”
On that day, Penglai's largest intelligence society, the Flying Shoes Intelligence Agency, issued the latest extra-newsletter, the whole article, only one news, no other news.
There are no pictures or the popular battlefield flash report in this issue, and the dialogue between the two third-year students is directly used to record the appearance of the chess master solo fisherman.
Tonight, the whole of Penglai, 690,000 night watchmen, shook for one person. (To be continued......)
