Chapter 300 Mr. Ji, the Chess and Card Master

Just as the pawns of both sides clashed, the spirits of the two pieces appeared.

Shadow's Black Fang soldiers are B-level "Big Plate Chicken" zombies, possessing copper skin, iron bones, and invulnerability to swords and spears.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if he wanted to devour his enemy alive.

Placing weaker heroes on pawns is a common strategy.

It's easy to understand from the rules of chess that the more mobile a piece is, the more powerful its spirit should be. Pawns, on the other hand, are better suited to be placed with weaker spirits and used as cannon fodder. This is an advantageous layout that is easy to come up with.

Therefore, from the perspective of the shadow, Ji Yi's white pawn is unlikely to be a trump card; he can only use cannon fodder pieces.

But the moment Bai Zi transformed, Ying was stunned.

There, a petite figure holding a parasol and dressed in gorgeous Lolita fashion was smiling as she looked at the chicken-eating zombie.

She is none other than the S-rank ghost story, Corpse Princess.

The zombie with the big plate chicken was also stunned; one could see the deep astonishment in his head, which was missing half of its face.

"Master"

"Kneel down."

thump.

The zombie with the big plate chicken didn't even have the courage to fight, and immediately slid to its knees.

Then a red light flashed in Shihime's eyes, and the black soldier insignia on the Big Plate Chicken zombie disappeared, turning it into a white soldier.

"."

There was silence.

After a long pause, Ying finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Damn it, that's a really underhanded trick."

He truly hadn't expected that Ji Yi would dare to put his top S-class combat power on a mere pawn. This move was quite unexpected and caught him off guard.

However, Ying thought this plan was incredibly foolish.

On the surface, Ji Yi could use this tactic to make small calculations, play tricks, and gain the upper hand by surprise.

In the long run, each piece will eventually reveal its spirit, and then the competition will be about action.

Pieces with high mobility, such as the rook, bishop, and queen, should be placed in the positions of high-power pieces. Doing so will only lead to a disadvantageous situation where you are kited in the later stages of the game.

"Hehe. It seems you're not going to win this round."

"This is just the beginning, isn't it? Until the very end, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious."

As Ji Yi spoke, he made another move, advancing his pawn in a conventional and methodical manner.

Seeing this, Ying assumed he was just being stubborn, and that the situation was clear and no matter what she did, the outcome wouldn't change.

So Ying followed Ji Yi and presented the soldiers in pairs.

Within two rounds, the two sides clashed again.

The black soldier has transformed into A-rank BOSS A-Luo.

Bai Fangbing is Song Wanyao, who is at the S-rank.

A Luo: "Are you a fan of mine, A Luo? I, A Luo, don't hit women. You can walk away by yourself."

The short, muscular man spoke, striking a pose as if he were extending his biceps.

Song Wanyao glanced at A Luo, who was taller and had a pointed head than her.

I could smell that biochemical mixture of unidentified odors, such as sweat and body odor, that filled the air.

brush--

A white, blurred mask instantly appeared.

"boom!!"

A pink Void Flash struck A-Luo in the face.

A Luo was immediately knocked out of the arena, and the White Army won.

Ying finally couldn't help but speak up this time:

"Your playing style is absolutely stupid."

Ji Yi revealed an expression that was three parts humility, three parts doubt, three parts shyness, and one part awe, and asked in return:

"What advice do you have for me, Master Ying?"

Ying shook her head in disappointment:
"If you focus your main fighting force on soldiers with weak mobility, you won't be able to protect your king later. To be honest, I really don't believe you would set up such a scheme."

After saying that, he stroked his chin and murmured:
"Perhaps you're deliberately playing dumb, keeping some special tactic up your sleeve, waiting for an opportunity when I'm off guard?"

Ji Yi smiled noncommittally:
"Why think so much, Lord Shadow? I can't do anything to your king. To be honest, no matter how we fight, my chances of winning are slim."

"Hehe, don't make it sound like I'm deliberately making things difficult for you, but a one-sided game is indeed not interesting. Let's play slowly."

After saying that, he continued to send out troops, showing no intention of using the pieces in the rear.

Ji Yi, however, suppressed his laughter and slowly advanced his troops.

[I must admit, while my X-ray vision played a part in this victory, if we had won, I'd be willing to credit 70% of the credit.]

Soon, another round of battle ensued.

Black Pawn: B-level Mystery, Little Red.

Bai Fangbing: A++ level combat personnel from the island nation, Minako Hasegawa.

It was another one-sided, crushing defeat; Xiao Hong was whipped to pieces by Minako.

During the battle, Xie Jiayi's gaze would occasionally drift to Minako's chest, and then back to Ji Yi.

Ji Yi appeared very well-behaved, keeping his eyes straight ahead, so there was no reason to pinch him.

The two exchanged knowing glances, but Ying didn't even look at them, instead focusing intently on analyzing the situation:
"If this continues, I'll have fewer and fewer pieces left. But the vanguard is just cannon fodder anyway. Giving them a few pieces early on to give them some hope is completely insignificant."

This only makes the subsequent one-sided pursuit and crushing victory even more exhilarating.

Thinking it over, both sides continued their duel, each deploying troops to fight in a single and pure manner.

The results of the next round of troop engagements are in.

Black soldiers: B-level zombies, zombie dogs.

Bai Fangbing: S-level supernatural tale, traces of murder.

The battle scene was very brief; the zombie dog instantly turned into a dog-shaped bloodstain on the ground.

Then soon a new round begins.

Black Soldier: A B-rank monster, a self-righteous woman.

White Fangbing: S+ level monster, Mist Maiden.

The elegant woman in the red dress was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, then shattered and turned into mist.

Immediately afterwards, a thick layer of fog enveloped the area where the Mist Woman stood, obscuring what was happening inside.

At this point, Ying finally began to realize that something was amiss.

Is Ji Yi's S-rank Go Soul a bit too much?
Now I understand where this kid's confidence comes from, but
Even if Ying can understand Ji Yi's strategic thinking of "taking the enemy by surprise", how is Ji Yi supposed to fight if all the soldiers are equipped with S-level chess spirits?
A clumsy S-class vehicle may not be as valuable as a nimble A-class vehicle.

'Wait, could it be...'

Looking at Ji Yi's well-organized chessboard, Ying finally understood the opponent's tactics.

'So that's how he plays it.'

Ying suddenly understood Ji Yi's actions.

In fact, Ji Yi has as many as 7 S-level chess pieces, which accounts for almost half of the chess pieces. Under this premise, Ji Yi's strategy is obvious.

Surround and kill.

Ying has already observed that Ji Yi is taking advantage of the large number of S-class troops, consciously advancing side by side to form an impregnable wall.

Although no matter how many S-rank pieces there are, they cannot pose a threat to an SS-rank king, Ji Yi never intended to checkmate from the beginning. Instead, he planned to win by leveraging his numerical advantage after 50 moves.

As long as the front-line pawns provide sufficient protection for the rear pawns in the early stages, even if an opening is later created, Ji Yi can still gain a decisive advantage in terms of the number of pieces.

"pity."

As Ying spoke, she directly moved the "Queen" out.

"That's enough of this small-scale scrambling."

The moment the Black Queen encountered the Corpse Princess again, a change began. Shimizu Take, an SS-rank combatant from the island nation.

Instantly.

The moment Shikiko appeared, her body twisted and deformed rapidly, transforming into a monster with extremely long limbs and a ferocious, terrifying face.

In the face of life and death, there is no room for elegance. The terrifying green energy erupted instantly, crushing and annihilating even the zombie dogs beside it. However, this power was directly confined to the small chessboard squares.

【Name: Starry Sky Chessboard】

[Type: Special Armor]

[Defense Strength: ???]

[Quality: 3-layer superb]

[Effect. Uh, do you really think I can see something this amazing in such detail?]

[Note: This chessboard possesses the power of stars; it is said that each square contains enough energy to contain a planet.]

The data eye provides information about the chessboard, but not completely.

Unless the owner actively reveals the item's details, it is normally impossible to view them; it's already quite good if the Data Eye can provide any information at all.

Seeing this, Ji Yi couldn't help but murmur in amazement:
"No wonder such a small chessboard can withstand SS-level battles. I estimate that even SSS-level players could fight freely on it."

Before long, the outcome of the battle was decided.

After Shikiko suddenly sprang up, she was met with a simple and unadorned kick from Shimizu Takeshi.

"boom!"

With a single blow, Shikiko was reduced to pieces.

Qingshui Zhu dusted off her trouser legs, patted off the filthy fabric, and her body became clean and white again.

"Haha, scared out of your wits, huh?"

Ying was very pleased with herself.

Because he saw an exaggerated expression of surprise on Ji Yi's face.

I just don't know why the female player next to Ji Yi is so calm.

With both sides' front-line soldiers dead, it's now a queen versus queen situation, and she'll be next to die.

“I have more than one SS-rank Wang, but based on that alone, you were definitely not my match from the start.”

Ji Yi slowly closed her wide-open mouth in surprise:

"You're being too dishonest! Now that you've eaten my queen, I, the king, have no chance of outrunning you."

"Haha! There's nothing we can do about it!"

Ying shrugged: "In some games, you can understand this as a scripted death caused by not completing the prerequisite quests."

"You can only blame yourself for making enemies of higher quality than your allies. Alright, bullying the weak is no fun, let's end this quickly."

As he spoke, he shook his head smugly, appearing quite pleased.

I finally beat that kid once, even if it wasn't very honorable.

But rules are rules. The Demon Tower was developed by an evil god, and he didn't have the authority to modify the general rules.

"Okay, fine."

Ji Yi sighed, then moved the elephant.

The elephant's movement rule is to move diagonally, which perfectly protected the white queen and blocked the black queen, Shimizutake.

"Hehe, it's actually getting a bit boring after this point."

In Ying's view, this move was nothing more than a desperate last stand and completely meaningless.

Therefore, Shadow moved Clear Water Bamboo forward two squares, directly attacking White's elephant.

The moment he stepped onto the square where the bishop was.

The white elephant has changed.

The condensed resentment erupted, a purple aura soaring into the sky, instantly filling the chessboard.

Seemingly unable to withstand such terrifying and solidified resentment, both sides on the chessboard began to shrink drastically.

To be precise, the chessboard is getting bigger. Although it still occupies a small space of only 9 square meters, the world inside seems to have expanded to thousands of square meters, and this number is still growing.

In an instant, a tremendous battle erupted on the small chessboard, with fierce fighting and roaring sounds emanating from within.

This is a battle between SS-class enemies!

film:"?"

Now it was his turn to show surprise.

The shadow trembled as it raised its hand and pointed at Ji Yi:
"Kid, are you kidding me?"

Ji Yi pursed her lips, her face showing apology:

"I'm sorry, Lord Ying, I had no choice but to do this in order to win the game."

Seeing this, Ying snorted coldly:
"Tch, I knew you were a cunning little devil. I always get outsmarted when playing cards with you, so it's not surprising at all. But..."

Ying shook her head slightly:
"Your trump card that you've been hiding might not be enough to win. Even if you win by luck, I still have a better chance of winning."

Ji Yi then offered a "conjecture": "You have more than two SS-rank individuals, right?"

Ying hummed in agreement.
"So... you've done your best, it's just a pity."

As they spoke, the battle on the chessboard seemed to come to an end.

Not only is the space inside different from the outside, but even time is different. The moment the roar and fighting stopped, the resentment also dissipated.

Finally, a little girl in a primary school uniform stood on the chessboard.

In her hand she held a "balloon" connected to her spine, which, of course, was Shimizu Take's head.

All that could be seen was Qing Shuizhu's shriveled head, her jaw wide open, and a purple, vengeful spirit seemingly emanating from her throat.

Kill without taking damage.

This result surprised Ying.

【You scared Prison Shadow again, huh? He'll never guess that this result is the result of my meticulous data comparison and precise calculation.】

The Data Eye has a certain ability to calculate events, which was already demonstrated in the marriage instance.

However, most world factors are too numerous and calculations are difficult. A single change in detail can easily create a butterfly effect, leading to inaccurate results.

But on the chessboard, all external factors are nonexistent.

Ji Yi knew perfectly well from the beginning who would fight whom and what the outcome would be.

Even the placement of each chess piece was carefully considered.

"You're lucky."

Ying sighed, completely unaware that she had been thoroughly outmaneuvered.

After thinking for a few seconds, he chose to drive his car directly into Song Wanyao, who was in front of Ji Yi.

Soon the black car came into view; it was Long Xianglingdou, whose strength had reached S+.

After a fierce battle, Long Xianglingdou, in his hideous transformed form, defeated the S-rank Hollowfied Song Wanyao.

Given the difference in strength, it wasn't difficult for Long Xiangling to win.

Seeing this, Ji Yi did not hesitate and immediately drove his white car to meet Long Xianglingdou.

Then the white car appeared, revealing the figure of the S+++ level Great Calamity Monster, Xuanmiao.

"Meow!"

With a single palm strike, Long Xianglingdou was killed instantly, without even a chance to retaliate.

Ying was stunned again:

"Wait a minute, didn't you put all the S-rank units in the front row? Shouldn't you have an empty back row with only an SS-rank unit protecting you?"

Ji Yi listened and smiled sheepishly:

"Sorry, Lord Ha-Kage, I forgot to mention that besides me and Miss Cat, there's also Minako, who's A++ level."

"The remaining Hikaru no Go are all S-rank or higher."
