Chapter 296: Bai Xiao is no longer a man
The invitation battle on the top floor of the library was like an earth-shattering shock, and many people were so shocked that they couldn't put their legs together - as soon as they took a step to leave, they were frozen in place.
Where did this come from to dare to challenge Bai Xiao? Do you feel that Gao Yuan didn't lose badly enough just now, or do you have a special interest in the fiasco in front of everyone?
Considering that Hongshan Academy gathers the world's elites, and there is only a thin line between geniuses and perverts, there is no shortage of people in the academy who are weird, such as the original poem who loves death, Zheng Liming, who loves fat, and the great master who loves poverty.
Then it's not surprising that there is a strange person who loves to be humiliated in front of everyone's eyes.
However, as everyone's eyes turned, they saw that the person who spoke had short hair and a blue shirt, and his figure was slightly thin, but his eyes were bright, showing a capable and strong temperament.
It was Qi Wei, a freshman who was once quite famous among students, but was eclipsed after Bai Xiao's sudden rise to power.
Qi ...... Less?"
"How is he?"
"Did he do anything to make a presence feel like he didn't like to be too conspicuous. ”
"Yes, he also said before that he would be the behind-the-scenes military advisor of the big man and never steal the limelight from the master's family, what's wrong?"
"Is it because Lu Xun hasn't been talking to him much recently?"
In the face of the merciless discussions of the surrounding people, Qi Wei resisted the urge of the blood vessels in his temples to burst, calmed down, and showed the calm demeanor of the military adviser behind the scenes.
He ignored those students who were keen on vulgar gossip, and his attention was always locked on Bai Xiao, and for a while, although Qi Wei's face was calm, his heartbeat was pounding and accelerating, and he couldn't restrain himself.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, success or failure, it's all in one fell swoop!
In fact, the people around him are right, he really needs a wave of presence!
Although his ambition is to hide behind the scenes and operate in secret, hiding behind the scenes does not mean that there is no sense of existence, on the contrary, the more he hides behind the scenes, the more he needs to show his presence in various ways.
Otherwise, you will really be forgotten!
Since when did the family have a small number of relatives, and they don't even have a role anymore?
Now recalling the good old days, Qi Wei still feels intoxicated. Once upon a time, he was still Lu Xun's right-hand man, the Lu family and the Qi family had high hopes for him, and Lu Xun also trusted him, and many major matters were discussed with him alone, and his status was obviously better than Sun Wen.
However, everything took a turn for the worse from that day......
That's right, it was the day when Bai Xiao came to Hongshan City and made his debut at Xinhu Restaurant!
Looking back afterwards, Qi Wei felt that from that time on, Young Master Lu Xun's mind had deviated from the right track, and he no longer paid attention to the bright future that the family had designed for him, but focused more and more attention on Bai Xiao.
One person's attention is limited, and if you put more on Bai Xiao, you will naturally fall less on others.
Of course, Lu Xun is the young master of the Lu family, and as he gets older, there will be more and more things that he needs to worry about, and it is impossible to pay attention to his childhood friends for a long time, but ...... The so-called not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness, Qi Wei can accept that Lu Xun's attention to himself has decreased, but what he can't accept is that Sun Wen, who has been living below him before, has suddenly emerged!
Why does that passer-by girl have more roles than herself!? Family background, talent, interpersonal relationships and even appearance, where is she better than herself, why does she now occupy a supporting role, but the dignified family seems to have fallen into a trick?
Of course, Qi Wei was not convinced, because he was not convinced, so he had to seize every possible opportunity to turn the tables.
Now is a godsend!
There are hundreds of people inside and outside the lecture area, and it can be said that nearly half of the people in the academy are here, as long as he can make a splash at this time, he will definitely be able to get rid of the dilemma of the dragon and march to the supporting role!
And about fighting self-chess, it is a shortcut that Qi Wei found for himself.
"Senior Brother Bai Xiao, I want to fight auto-chess with you, do you dare to respond?"
For this frank and straightforward invitation, of course Bai Xiao would not refuse, he nodded first, and then asked, "What is auto-chess?"
Qi Wei smiled: "The rules are very simple, I'll give you a brief demonstration first......
As he spoke, Qi Wei stretched out his hand and wiped it on the chessboard in the middle of the speech area, turning it into a square chessboard with a total of 64 grids of eight horizontal and eight vertical, and then pushed it, and a unique capsule toy device rose on the side of the chessboard.
"First of all, it's a game with a core gameplay that's very similar to mahjong...... Do you know anything about mahjong?"
Bai Xiao's face changed suddenly, after all, he had lived in the Southern Continent for half a year, and he had a certain understanding of mahjong, although he had not played it himself, but he had heard the original poem introduce it to him.
So he asked Qi Wei seriously: "Is this a game of undressing?"
Qi Wei was so shocked that he almost couldn't breathe: "Hurry up and apologize to me to all the friends in the world!
Bai Xiao thought for a moment and confirmed again: "You don't need to take off your clothes?"
"Who wants to see you undress!"
Bai Xiao explained: "I thought you wanted to ......"
"I don't want to!"
Hearing the laughter around him, Qi Wei's face was about to turn iron-blue, and he only felt that the dragon set promotion ceremony created by his flash of inspiration was about to make Bai Xiao so deliberately or unintentionally disturbed......
This kid can't be intentional, right?! usually pretends to be innocent and upright, but behind the scenes, he is the mastermind behind the calculation of the world!
Qi Wei sprouted countless reveries in an instant, but seeing that the situation was about time and space, he quickly put out his thoughts and returned to the topic.
"To put it simply, auto-chess is a game in which players gather a variety of pieces and compete against other players' pieces. ”
As he spoke, Qi Wei raised his hand again to change the picture on the chessboard.
I saw that the square chessboard was divided into upper and lower sides, and there were several chess pieces of different shapes standing on the chessboard, all of them were finely carved and lifelike, among which there were warriors wearing battle armor, demon Taoists wearing demon robes, as well as golden soldiers and bronze men of the Great Qin Empire, and even demonic beasts.
Just when Bai Xiao was carefully looking at these chess pieces, he saw that the chess pieces on both sides suddenly acted at the same time, fighting fiercely together.
A moment later, the chess pieces leaning towards Qi Wei's side gained the upper hand, and the legion with war machinery as the core tore through the human defense line on the opposite side, tearing all the chess pieces to pieces.
At the end of the battle, the pieces on both sides return to their original positions as if they were going back in time. But the chessboard opposite Qi Wei left scorch marks symbolizing defeat,
Seeing this, Bai Xiao has roughly understood the core rules of this game.
"It's a one-round fight. Qi Wei explained, "What you have to do is to form your own chess corps and defeat your opponents." The strength of the chess piece army is composed of two aspects: the strength of a single chess piece, and the coordination bond between the chess pieces. The detailed rules are written in this manual and are not complicated, you can learn and sell them now. ”
Qi Wei said, handing Bai Xiao a beautifully printed booklet. After Bai Xiao opened it, he saw that it was densely written, but it was clearly organized.
After taking a closer look, Bai Xiao found that the rules of this game are indeed not complicated, although the types of chess pieces are designed in a variety of ways, but in essence, as Qi Wei said, it is a simple game of forming a legion and defeating the enemy.
"Then there is the core question, how to form a legion? Of course, military spending is required. ”
As he spoke, Qi Wei took out two silver coins and threw them into the gachapon machine on the side of the chessboard, the machine shook and spit out five chess pieces of different shapes, one of which was extremely huge, and it looked like the famous war puppet, the Great Qin Jin Bing.
Qi Wei smiled: "Good luck, I got what I wanted." ”
As he spoke, he took out four more silver coins and placed them in front of the chess pieces, and the Great Qin Jin Soldier immediately took action, picked up the silver coins and swallowed them in his stomach, and then took the initiative to walk to the spare grid on the edge of the chessboard and stood still.
Qi Wei stretched out his hand to lift the chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard. Suddenly, a golden line appeared between the Great Qin Golden Soldier and another war puppet on the chessboard, the Great Qin Bronze Man.
"Okay, this will form a puppet fetter, and after the war, the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin Bronze Man and the Great Qin Jin Soldiers will be increased. In addition......"
Qi Wei took out two more silver coins to gacha, and the remaining four chess pieces returned to the gachapon machine with a roar, and randomly spit out five new chess pieces, among which there happened to be two Great Qin Bronze Figures, Qi Wei took out four more silver coins and put them in front of the two chess pieces, and the Great Qin Bronze Man swallowed the silver coins, and suddenly turned into a liquid flow, rushing to the bronze man on the chessboard, making his body swell in an instant, and the patterns on his body were more delicate and gorgeous.
"Three of the same chess pieces can be promoted once, one chess piece can be promoted twice, and the promoted low-level chess pieces can also have combat power over high-level chess pieces. All you have to do is try to pick out the pieces that form a bond with each other, and keep drawing their kind to complete the promotion, how about it, it's simple, right?"
Bai Xiao looked at the capsule toy machine, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "It's really simple." ”
With that, he pulled out his money bag......
"That's not right!" Qi Wei said desperately, "Not with real money!"
Bai Xiaoqi said: "Neither take off your clothes nor use real money, are you sure this thing is the same as mahjong?"
“...... Sorry I gave the wrong example, but not with real money, but with in-game currency. ”
After that, Qi Wei briefly introduced the monetary system of auto-chess for Bai Xiao: a certain amount of military expenses are given about a fixed amount of money per round, and every 10 silver coins can be deposited to get an interest in the next round, with an upper limit of 5, in addition to consecutive victories and consecutive defeats.
And these military expenses can be used to gacha and spit out chess pieces and hire chess pieces to fight.
Bai Xiao pondered for a while, roughly digested the rules of the game, and nodded: "Yes, then let's start." ”
As he spoke, he took the initiative to stand directly opposite Qi Wei.
This decisiveness made Qi Wei a little surprised.
He doesn't really think he can win, does he?
Compared with games such as Go and backgammon, which test computing power, the biggest feature of auto chess is: it is very face-looking!
This is actually the most common thing with mahjong!
Even the top mahjong players in the profession can lose to ordinary people because of bad luck. What allowed them to surpass the average person was to minimize the impact of luck through a large number of races.
And auto chess is the same, the winning rate of masters is indeed much higher than that of newcomers, but even if the master can play again, once his face is blackened, it is a dead end.
The gacha can't get the pieces you want, and you happen to be restrained by the opponent's lineup, and you can't get the equipment I wants in the welfare round...... All of these can lead to the loss of the game by the highest.
Qi Wei is undoubtedly a master of auto-chess, but he also loses to newcomers.
And this time against Bai Xiao, he has to use special means...... But I don't know where Bai Xiao got the confidence to win against himself in a game that pays attention to luck?
However, it is good for Bai Xiao to be willing to fight.
I'm afraid that because he has never touched this game, or sees that this game can't win with computing power, he simply avoids the war......
Although forcing Bai Xiao to avoid the battle is somewhat an achievement, it is better to defeat Bai Xiao on the chessboard after all!
"Alright, let's get started. Qi Wei smiled, waved his hand again, and took back all the chessboards that had been divided around.
"Originally, this game was supposed to be played by 8 people, but for the sake of efficiency, let's just go it alone. ”
Bai Xiao nodded: "Yes." ”
Qi Wei smiled secretly in his heart.
In this way, the situation is even more unfavorable to Bai Xiaoke.
In an 8-player match, the opponent in each round is uncertain, strong or weak, so even if you are at a disadvantage for a while, you may encounter a weaker opponent and be safe for a while. On the other hand, once you enter the one-on-one decisive battle, then the weak first hand is likely to lose for a long time and collapse all the way.
And Qi Wei is confident enough to take advantage at the beginning!
Looking at Qi Wei's face full of high morale and confidence, the onlookers began to discuss again.
"This is a conspiracy, right?"
"Put the conspiracy on the surface, and he will do whatever it takes for the sake of the scene. ”
"If you lose, you're probably going to have to leave the game permanently, right?"
Qi Wei only felt that his fighting spirit was high, but suddenly he seemed to have swallowed a fly...... Can't you unscrupulous spectators give me a little encouragement?!
Everyone is a dragon set, I am still the spokesperson of the dragon set, and I should be the same enemy at this time, right?!
With a heart full of resentment, Qi Wei gritted his teeth and asked, "Senior Brother Bai Xiao, let's start here?"
"Good. ”
Qi Wei then walked to the edge of the chessboard and reached out to touch the capsule toy machine next to him.
The first round is a free preparation round, where there is no battle between the two sides, and the gacha machine directly spits out five basic pieces on each side, as well as the military expenses of 1 silver coin in the first round.
Qi Wei pondered for a while, and chose a dusty chess piece, which was the agent of the Brilliant Valley that symbolized the power of the border county and the profession of the auxiliary soldiers.
Bai Xiao hesitated for a longer time before choosing a Daqin puppet that symbolizes the power of the royal family and the puppet profession.
Qi Wei couldn't help sneering, Bai Xiao really knows how to learn and sell now, the manual says that the puppet profession generally restrains the auxiliary profession, so he chose the puppet, and his thinking is really one-lined.
Unfortunately, autochess is not so simple!
The second round was still a free preparation round, but the military proceeds turned into two silver coins, and Qi Wei did not hesitate to choose the executor of the Brilliant Valley of the Second Fee, and formed the Brilliant Valley fetters in an instant.
One of the strongest bonds in the early stage, the Brilliant Valley Bond that can be formed with only two chess pieces, was formed in the second round, which immediately caused many people to marvel.
In the second round, the probability of the gacha machine spitting out the two-fee chess pieces is not high, and the executor of the two-fee Brilliant Valley is even rarer, Qi Wei ...... Good luck.
On the other hand, Bai Xiao seems mediocre, a one-fee royal spy apprentice, and a one-fee red scarf of Narcissus Hall, although the number of royal chess pieces and the number of spy professions on the chessboard have reached 2, but they have not reached the minimum conditions for forming a bond: both the Great Qin royal family and the spy need 3 chess pieces to have a bond effect.
In the third round, the last free round, Qi Wei successfully obtained two Shengyuan Sect Disciples and one Brilliant Valley Agent, laying a good foundation for the formation of auxiliary fetters and Brilliant Valley fetters in the early stage.
In terms of the beginning, this is already close to the beginning of Tianhu, and from the fourth round, the two sides will go head-to-head!
And Qi Wei's gacha in the fourth round turned out to be even more luxurious, the agent of Brilliant Valley directly advanced, and the executor also got the second one, which can be described as ready to go!
And the one who finally stepped onto the chessboard was a 2-fee Brilliant Valley Executor, a promoted Brilliant Valley Agent, and a 1-fee Saint Yuan Sect.
Under the effect of brilliant bonds, it has begun to take shape.
And Bai Xiao's side......
When Qi Wei raised his gaze, what he saw was a picture that made his eyeballs crack!
"it!?"
On the side of Bai Xiao's chessboard, a Great Qin puppet with a significantly inflated size, a royal secret agent who had been promoted, and a Great Qin bronze man with three fees appeared......
Royal Bonds, puppet bonds take effect at the same time, and there are actually two promotion chess pieces on the field!
Where did this dog come from?!
And just when Qi Wei was dumbfounded, the battle had officially begun.
The Brilliant Valley Legion, whose combat power began to take shape, was destroyed by the Great Qin Imperial Legion, and when the agent and executor died together, the Royal Legion did not lose a single soldier, and the three chess pieces were not lightly injured, but they still maintained their combat strength.
So on Qi Wei's chessboard, of course, there were three scorch marks.
“...... No, it's impossible, it's just an accident, I'm about to form a double bond, the situation will definitely be reversed, the next round, it's in the next round!"
Thinking like this, Qi Wei clenched his fist lightly, and the demonic energy in his body began to stir, gently brushing a faint divine power mark.
Mystic Powers: Lucky!
It is difficult to explain the mechanism of action of this supernatural power, but what is certain is that when Qi Wei activates the supernatural power, his luck will become extraordinarily good in a short period of time!
If he plays a coin toss, he can play the same side seven or eight times in a row!
Of course, the concept of luck is inherently illusory, and even the Demon Dao Master of the Mysterious Domain cannot fully grasp the word luck, so accidents will happen, such as making a wish coin with a positive side, but throwing a negative side the first time.
Such tragedies have happened before......
But Qi Wei doesn't need absolute luck, as long as he can always be better than his opponent, in an auto-chess game that usually lasts for dozens of rounds, it is enough to win.
In the fifth round, Qi Wei got his wish and promoted the second fee executor, and at the same time formed an auxiliary fetter.
The fetters of the Brilliant Valley, the fetters of the auxiliary forces worked at the same time, and the strength of the 4 combat units on the field was already extraordinary!
However, this time his opponent was ......
“...... I knew it. Qi Wei almost gritted his teeth!
On Bai Xiao's chessboard, he is already a five-person lineup that has advanced to the Great Qin Bronze Man, the Great Qin Puppet, and the Royal Secret Agent, plus the Red Turban of the Narcissus Hall and the Afterimage of the Demon Domain!
"You're really a dog, aren't you?!"
Facing Qi Wei's accusation of blood and tears, Bai Xiao just smiled, and then placed a conch-like magic tool that he had been holding in his hand next to the chessboard.
"What is this?"
Gao Yuan next to him couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Momiji magic equipment, the owner named it ......"
"Suckers. ”
