Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 214 Learn from others
The Colosseum matches won't be as intense as the previous two, so everyone will be more relaxed.

Rested overnight.

I get up at eight o'clock sharp every morning.

There are two hours left before the match starts.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in the conference room.

Martin walked in carrying a tray, placed it on the conference table, gestured for him to enter, and quietly withdrew.

The next step involves drawing lots to determine identities and developing competition strategies.

Eight identical round badges, of the same size, shape, and material, lay quietly on a tray lined with black velvet.

The gleaming metal emitted a faint luster under the light.

It resembles neither gold nor copper, and the light it refracts is rather cold and hard, impenetrable to anything, including spiritual energy.

Holster knew it at a glance.

These badges are made of the rarest and most defensive nuclear gold in the galaxy.

It's probably to prevent cheating in the competition by using mental power to spy on the roles represented by the badges.

The eight badges look exactly the same, so there is no possibility of choosing one.

The eight of them worked together and took the badges closest to them.

Mo Ting is a tiger.

Riley is a rat.

Dzeko is a wolf.

Chi Ye is a cat.

Holster is a leopard.

Ashley is an elephant.

Brian is a lion.

Sevia is a dog.

You can only switch roles once.

The group exchanged glances, then turned to Scarlett, seemingly asking for her opinion.

Scarlett shrugged. "I have no objection."

The role itself isn't important; what matters is the strategy you develop.

Each square contains traps or item cards; crossing the river allows you to attack the opponent's pieces.

This means that when playing chess, they have two paths to choose from.

Attack or defense?

There are 252 squares, with 126 squares on each side. The player uses their mental power to roll the dice, and moves one square if the dice rolls a certain number.

Both horizontal and vertical orientations are acceptable.

If you want to move diagonally, you must roll a six and can only jump one space.

The positions of the pieces are random; they may be on the riverbank or scattered in various corners.

There is another possibility.

Enter the opponent's chessboard.

Therefore, strategy is very important.

Riley took out a piece of paper and spread it out on the conference table. It was a chessboard layout he had drawn the night before based on Martin's description.

With a distribution map, we can better analyze which path to take.

Riley said, "There are two uncertainties in the Colosseum: where are we? And how will the pieces attacking the player attack?"

"What kind of attack?" Scarlett quickly looked at Riley, her eyes filled with admiration.

Whenever a question comes to Riley, she always has a unique and insightful solution, constantly surprising her.

Riley explained, "His Highness is the chess master, not one of the eight roles. There is no way for him to attack by using a larger piece to capture a smaller one. So if we can find ways for the pieces to attack the chess master and take precautions in advance, we can not only defend against the attack, but even counterattack."

Holst nodded in agreement: "That's right. Martin only explained the process of the game, but didn't say that the player can't attack and kill pieces. It's a very vague line, and we can use this as a starting point to find more ways to deal with it."

Mo Ting looked at the badge in his hand. "Could it be mental energy?"

Chi Ye said anxiously, "If it's a matter of mental strength, Scarlett will be in more danger. Her level is only A, and she may not be able to defeat the opponent."

Scarlett remained silent.

In terms of mental strength, she is indeed a complete novice.

Brian, standing to the side, gave Scarlett a mysterious look and said meaningfully, "Scarlett's level is indeed too low. She will definitely get injured if she competes in mental strength. It would be great if we could help her level up quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, eight pairs of eyes turned to him.

His eyes were filled with deep curiosity.

Brian felt uneasy under their gazes, but said aloud, "What? I'm telling the truth, Scarlett really needs an upgrade."

Scarlett rolled her eyes at him. "We're in the middle of a competition right now. There's no time to level up."

“It’s not that there isn’t,” Ashley interjected, blushing. Scarlett turned to look at him.

He pushed up his glasses, which had slipped off his nose, to hide his nervousness. "The competition is held every three days, best of three. We can, we can, use that method to advance."

Scarlett: “…”

After thinking for a moment, Dzeko said, "We can definitely give it a try after the first game."

Scarlett: “…”

Riley's ears turned slightly red: "If it really is related to mental power, the higher Your Highness's rank, the safer you will be. This is a good method."

Scarlett: “…”

No.

How did the topic veer off to this point?
Scarlett shook her head. "Um, we'll talk about that later. Let's talk about what's in front of us first."

She glanced at the countdown timer and reminded him, "One hour left."

The topic was brought back a bit.

Continue to focus on the direction of the game and how to protect the player.

This conversation lasted for an hour.

The countdown is about to end.

Riley looked at the badge in his hand, a thought struck him, and he looked at Scarlett. He had found another loophole.

……

……

Nine o'clock.

A deep chime rang out from the villa.

A portal appeared just in time, reminding them that it was time to enter.

Scarlett opened the door.

A flash of white light.

The magnificent conference hall was instantly transformed into a giant chessboard made of yew wood.

Sixteen chess pieces are placed.

Both players take their positions.

Three minutes left in the countdown.

The game is about to begin.

Scarlett's position was behind the chessboard. As soon as she entered, the chessboard beneath her feet slowly rose to a height of ten meters, from which she could overlook the entire chessboard.

Not only that.

In front of her was a giant LED screen displaying a diagram of the chessboard, making it easier to play the game.

Scarlett is on the red side, and her pieces are red. She quickly finds her piece on the board.

Six are on our side, and two are on the enemy side.

The opponent's pieces are the same as hers.

The only difference is their location.

Three minutes later, the match began.

The other person's mental strength was higher than hers, so the other person went first.

Scarlett saw a sieve fall from the sky onto the LED screen, carrying a blue spiritual energy, and land above the chessboard.

six o'clock.

Scarlett's brow twitched.

He quickly glanced at the pieces near his position.

There was no one around her; the closest person to her was the leopard, her own chess piece.

The opponent's pieces are near the river, far away from her, and even if they move six steps, they cannot reach her.

She felt relieved.

I had just breathed a sigh of relief when I saw my opponent make a move.

She didn't move Scarlett's pieces, but instead moved her own, moving one piece diagonally upwards.

Stay away from the red piece in the lower right corner.

Scarlett was taken aback. Why did we have to go this way?
It was her turn to roll the dice.

Scarlett had an idea. She picked up the dice, but they were heavier than she had imagined, and it was difficult to lift them. She tossed them into the air.

six o'clock.

She followed suit and moved one of her own square pieces, moving it diagonally upwards.

other side:"???"
