Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 97: I have a chess game, but do you have chess pieces?
Tang Zheng had seen this game of chess in "Xingyuan World".
Of course, there are too many chess games in the Xingyuan world, and there are more than one or two endgames. If nothing unexpected happens, a game of chess will definitely be forgotten.
But Tang Zheng just remembered it now.
At that time, the NPC played black and the player played white, and on the chessboard...
When Tang Zhengyi recalled the setting of the chess game, his face darkened.
The chess game in the game was the last part of a level. The leader played chess, and all the teammates appeared on the chessboard, sealed into the black and white chess pieces...
It was a large instance for a hundred people, and there was a guide.
To crack the last level, the team leader plays the game according to the strategy, while teammates constantly break free from the seal of the chess pieces and then attack the Boss who controls the black pieces.
This game of chess is very difficult for the team leader to play, as there are only three strategies, which means that there are only three ways to play the game with the NPC. However, the choice of which one must be decided the moment you see the position of your teammates.
The failure judgment of that copy is very abnormal. If the teammates fail to break free from the seal of the chess piece, there will not be enough people to fight the boss and failure is inevitable. If the team leader kills too quickly or loses too quickly in , the chess piece that the teammates are on will be taken away before they can break free from the chess piece, then they will naturally be counted as killed.
The reason why Tang Zheng's face darkened was because he saw that among some of the chess pieces on the chessboard, human figures appeared one after another...
Just like in the game!
His teammates, Leng Zhan, Qin Rong, Tian Meng and others, all appeared randomly among the black and white chess pieces!
But……
He can't play chess!
Not at all!
The chess piece in the game was taken away, and the teammates in the chess piece just went back to the entrance of the copy and started over again.
And if the chess piece in the game with Qin Xi was removed... Tang Zheng didn't dare to think about the consequences.
He once again clearly realized that this was the Xingyao Continent, and this was not the game he was familiar with. Here, unless one had a heaven-defying bloodline like Tang Xiaotang, the dead could not be resurrected.
Tang Zheng sat down only because he had seen this game of chess before.
Although he couldn't remember everything, he had a way. At least, he had a better chance of winning than Fang Junji.
However, he did not expect that this game of chess would actually concern the lives of so many people.
Just when Tang Xiaotang and the others saw Tang Zheng's face change, they thought something unexpected had happened to Tang Zheng, but soon they saw that Tang Zheng's face returned to calm.
He still made that "please" gesture.
Moreover, he even said to Qin Xi: "My teammates are very strong, you don't have much time!"
Tang Zheng smiled.
Tang Xiaotang was stunned.
Fang Junji stared at Tang Zheng's smiling face silently, took a deep breath, and looked at Qin Xi with a complicated look.
A ray of Qin Xi's star power condensed into a black chess piece, which slowly fell on the chessboard. His eyes drifted towards Fang Junji: "The look you gave me is exactly the same as the one I gave Fang Junlin when I was a star master."
Fang Junji's whole body trembled.
Tang Zheng said, "You can't fight me and taunt me."
Qin Xi laughed out loud: "Okay. I've made my move, what about you?"
Tang Xiaotang let out a low cry.
Tang Zhengcai discovered that there were no chess boxes on either side of the chessboard!
"If it is Fang Junji who comes to continue this unfinished game, he can use Blood Condensation Seed, because he is the bloodline of Emperor Purple Gold, and you... why do you play this game of chess with me?" Qin Xi's voice already sounded like a winner without fighting.
He has a chess game.
But Tang Zheng has no chess pieces!
Tang Xiaotang had bitten her lips so hard that they were bleeding.
what to do?
What should Tang Zheng do now?
Even if he had some plans beforehand, or he could play chess like Jun Ji, but he had no chess pieces, then he could only admit defeat in this game?
Moreover, Fang Junji actually needs to use blood to play this game of chess with Qin Xi?
Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaotang both subconsciously glanced at Fang Junji.
Fang Junji himself had a calm expression, as if he had known that if this game of chess started, he would have no chance of survival.
"Hehe, what exactly does this Star Lord want you to do?" Tang Zheng asked Fang Junji with a smile instead of anger.
"Draw all the essence and blood from my body to open the secret realm of heavenly medicine, and reshape my star veins, and infuse the essence of the Lord of Purple Star into it - he is me, and I am him..." Fang Junji answered without reservation.
"Oh... it seems that he failed to force himself on me, and he got angry out of shame." Tang Zheng smiled.
"..." Fang Junji really laughed. With such a big thing happening in front of him, could this guy behave properly?
It’s not that he didn’t understand Tang Zheng’s joke, but even if he did, he wouldn’t have time to talk…
A chess piece gathered in Tang Zheng's hand!
It was not the bloody color that Fang Junji had imagined!
The thunderclouds in the sky began to surge as Tang Zheng took out the chess piece in his hand.
Qin Xi looked at the chess piece in Tang Zheng's hand without changing her expression, and the corners of her lips gradually curled up: "I still underestimated you."
The chess piece in Tang Zheng's hand was emitting a solemn purple-gold luster!
…
This game of chess is a "static problem" - there will be no mistakes in any move, and even if you push back, you will eventually reach the current situation.
It’s just like the situation between Qin Xi and Fang Junlin.
No mistakes.
No matter how you push it, you will end up in this situation.
Judging from the surface of the question, it seems that the white pieces held by Tang Zheng are currently lagging behind. In the first ten moves from the beginning of the game, the white pieces originally held by the Purple Gold Emperor made very jumpy moves, starting from a hanging corner in the tenth move. Until now, after more than a hundred moves, one-third of the white pieces were placed in places that Qin Xi did not expect. However, it was Qin Xi who had been holding the advantage steadily.
The chess game remained at the point where Qin Xi had admitted defeat before.
Qin Xi's move just now finally reignited this endgame that had been dormant for tens of millions of years. His move cut off the center of the white chess piece, instantly forcing the white piece into a desperate situation.
Back then, with one move of chess, the situation changed dramatically. It was not that he could not win the game, but that he lost because of his lack of strength.
He couldn't go down.
But now facing Tang Zheng, what is there to worry about?
Obviously, as long as the game continues like this, he will definitely win.
No……
Maybe you can’t go down at all!
Seeing Tang Zheng frowning, Qin Xi laughed: "Even if you have a chess piece, you can't let it go... Let Fang Junji play. What I need is his blood."
The pressure from the Purple Star Force immediately crushed the three of them.
Fang Junji waved his hand above Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaotang, and a colorful star power rose up.
Tang was thinking and he didn't say anything either.
The three of them were very quiet, as if no one heard Qin Xi's words.
"Oh..." Tang Zheng nodded, "I remember now."
Qin Xi's move was the same as the one in the second strategy guide of that copy at that time. Tang Zheng glanced at his companions who were trapped in the chess pieces on the board, quietly picked up the purple gold chess piece in his hand, and slowly placed it on the chessboard.
The star power in his body has been constantly circulating.
The pure gold in his purple gold belt was constantly carved into dazzling chess pieces.
In fact, he also found it a little funny. When he first arrived at Xingyao Continent, he wanted to get a small piece of purple gold out of the purple gold belt, and it took him a long time to cut it. But now he can easily carve chess pieces into shape and use them at will.
The high-purity purple gold chess piece turned as white as snow jade the moment it landed on the chessboard!
Qin Xi's expression finally changed: "You...made a move?"
"Seeing you so surprised, I feel like every hair on my body is dancing." Tang Zheng raised his head and smiled.
"Inside your body..."
"There should be a seal of pardon, right?"
"..." Qin Xi's eyes darkened.
"Actually, what I should say now is... ahem, thank you Star Lord for saving my life?" Tang Zheng raised his hand and made another "please" gesture.
Tang Xiaotang really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It seemed that she couldn't cry, and laughing was too inappropriate.
Unfortunately, the seal of pardon that Qin Xi left in his body, which prohibited him from fighting against those favored by the Purple Star, had disappeared with his seven deaths in one night.
Although the star vein seals of the Xingyao Continent are very powerful, even Tian Meng's seal, which has reached the level of "Star Curse", can be passed down from generation to generation, but in the face of life and death, even the seal of the Star Lord must be put at the back of the list.
What the Star Lord understands is the rules.
Life and death are the most fundamental rules of the Xingyao Continent.
If we look further ahead, Tang Zheng can probably only understand it as "local regulations cannot conflict with the Constitution."
No matter what rules Ziwei Star Lord has comprehended to ascend to the position of Star Lord, the seal of pardon he casts cannot transcend the fundamental rule of "life and death".
"That's right." Qin Xi's eyes finally became serious. "I thought I underestimated him, but I didn't expect that I might have recognized the wrong person..."
Tang Zheng didn't know what Qin Xi meant.
However, as Qin Xi made his next move, the stars behind Tang Zheng were forced out with a "boom", and the Taihao Wheel dancing in the wind was dotted with five bright stars.
The next second, he knew it - Qin Xi saw it.
"Your name is Tang Zheng, right?" Qin Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Do you think it's easy to study secret martial arts on the spot in front of a star master and find the chess game you saw outside of time and space?"
"Oh, you figured it out..." Tang Zheng smiled and tried his best to stabilize the flow of star power.
Following Qin Xi's words, Fang Junji and Tang Xiaotang understood instantly.
Tang Zheng had seen this game of chess before.
Tang Zheng knew how to play this game to win.
But he couldn't remember it all!
It is easy for someone who knows how to play chess to remember his favorite chess records. However, for someone like Tang Zheng who doesn't know how to play chess at all, it would be good if he could remember one or two moves. Even if he has read the strategy guide countless times, it is impossible for him to memorize all the subsequent moves.
Therefore, he needs to borrow something...
time!
Only time can allow him to see again the chess game he had seen.
But... with his current control over the stars, can he really do it?
