If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 368 Birthday
August 8, autumn.

In a corner covered by the sycamore trees of Kassel College, the golden leaves cover the oval dome, like a layer of blanket. The veins and withered leaves of the leaves are the prints and stitches on it. The sunlight shines into the dome through the leaking needle holes. It fell on the black and white chess game.

In front of the chess table, Lin Nian raised his hand to move his 'pawn' on the chessboard, but he retracted his hand halfway out.Because he found that Mandy on the opposite side of the chess table was sneering. His smile was extremely sinister and cunning, like a fox who stole a chicken, which made people shudder.

Lin Nian put his hand on the 'elephant' again, and Mandy's expression suddenly became playful again, as if he sneered at this unrealistic idea.

Lin Nian silently withdrew his hand and put it on his chin and rubbed it vigorously, as if he was panting, but no matter how hard he panned, he couldn't get a few stubbles out, maybe the recent growth hormone was used to grow taller, In just half a year, I rushed to 1.8 meters, which led to no extra hormones to grow a beard.

Mandy stared at the hesitant Lin Nian and said with a subtle smile, "Sometimes I really think that you are pretending to lose me twenty or thirty games in a row, and when I graduate and leave school, you suddenly lose your money. Tell me, Senior Sister, let’s make another move, but this time we should simply increase the bet by a considerable amount.”

"Are you betting on the strip chess game?" Lin Nian squinted his eyes and stared at the intricate chessboard. The black and white chess battles were like dragons churning in the raging sea. If you make a wrong move, you will lose everything situation.

He usually counts the next ten moves of the chess moves, which is considered to be very long-term, but the girl on the opposite side counts the entire second half of the game, and has launched several second-half situations according to his different strains.As a result, he now often needs to think of [-] or even [-] steps after taking one step, which is very suitable for mental calculations. This is the ability to control the overall situation. In this regard, no matter how powerful Momentum and Time Zero are, they will not be able to help him.

"Take off a piece of clothing? It's not impossible." Mandy hummed, staring at Lin Nian like a wolf, showing the lewd expression of a middle-aged woman seeing a little milk dog, "Senior sister, I It’s not a day or two to be greedy for your body.”

"I'll tell you if you win the next round." Lin Nian put his hand on the queen.

If he wants to solve the predicament right now, he has to give up sticking, play fast break, and force Mandy to give up offense and switch to offense, so as to bring the rhythm back.And the queen is almost the strongest piece in chess, and she can be relied on to tear through the siege to break the deadlock in many cases.

"Huh." Mandy raised her eyes and squinted her eyes slightly. After Lin Nian took a step, she also moved one of her chess pieces at random. This seemingly random step forced Lin Nian into a dark dead end , let him fall into contemplation again.

"Junior brother, do you know that the reason why the queen is so strong in chess is due to the influence of history." Mandy picked up a glass of juice while Lin Nian was contemplating, biting the habit and began to groan, " The rules of things like chess are alive, and the rules have changed due to the course of history. In fact, the queen was not strong in the past, and could only move one space, which is similar to the taxi in Chinese chess. But later, European countries respected Yeka When Emperor Jielina meant the power of the queen, the "queen" in chess had a new way of playing."

"The Great? The Tsar of the Russian Empire?" Lin Nian finally made up his mind and moved the pawn.

"Junior brother is good at learning history." Mandy bit the straw and ate one of Lin Nian's chess pieces.

"I just studied some history of the tsar recently." Lin Nian backhanded Mandy's chess pieces.

"What are you doing studying the Tsar?" Mandy continued to fight with Lin Nian to eat chess pieces. The stalemate counted for 10 minutes and now it has finally entered the rhythm of eating and playing. There was a clatter of shots, and it was time to decide the outcome.

"My major is 'Dragon Genealogy'. It's not surprising to study history. Recently, I suspect that the Tsar's family is of mixed race, so they can rule Russia for such a long time." Lin Nian picked up another Mandy's 'car', Bai The queen is approaching the black emperor steadily.

"Is the Tsar's family a mixed race? Interesting view." Mandy raised her eyebrows and continued to eat Linnian's chess piece, "Isn't Catherine the Great's famous speech: 'If I live to be two hundred years old, the whole of Europe will all crawl at my feet.'?"

"But she only lived to be 34 years old and died of a stroke." Lin Nian stopped his hand again, and found that the situation seemed to be even more unfavorable. The current endgame is almost a lonely king and queen standing on the chessboard, and he is far away from the black king. Watching, a group of owl birds and hyenas surrounded the queen and the lonely king, grinding their teeth and sucking blood.

"Maybe it's like Qin Shihuang, when he was about to die, he suddenly became superstitious about immortality, and started looking for the elixir of life, only to find a hybrid and give birth to offspring?"

"Ekaterina the Great did have many relatives, including the next generation of Tsar Paul I, isn't it rumored that he is the son of her and her lover?" Lin Nian said casually, then lay down on the chair and frowned, staring at the plate. It seems that there is no longer a game of chess.

"Paul I died in a political assassination. It's a pity that he didn't die naturally. Otherwise, we can calculate whether he is a mixed race based on his lifespan. After all, mixed races live longer."

"It's very difficult to be an emperor, and every term is almost a bizarre death." Lin Nian frowned and pushed a disabled pawn with difficulty.

"The last generation of the tsar was the worst, right? The whole family was thrown into the basement and suddenly died." Mandy complained.

Lin Nian looked up at Mandy, but then lowered his head after a while, and turned his attention back to the chess game, "It's a pity that there are no outstanding female emperors in the future, otherwise, we can change the rules and strengthen the queen so that the queen If I can walk twice in one round, then now I can directly kill your emperor."

"You have a good idea." Mandy rolled out her pawn, checkmate Lin Nian.

"Tsk." Lin Nian overturned his pawn and admitted defeat.

"It's ten years too early for you to beat me!" Mandy raised her waist and laughed twice, the shadows of fallen leaves on the dome hit her face mottledly, and her neck seemed to be wrapped around her neck like a bleak vine. her skin.

"So the gift you want most on your birthday is to beat me again with chess?" Lin Nian reset the chess pieces on the table, and looked at his senior sister who was laughing wildly.

"I've been beaten by you all the time, no matter what I say, I have to beat you a few times. If I can't beat you with fists and feet, then I will fight on the chessboard." Mandy waved her fists and stretched comfortably on the chair, "And I believe Junior brother, you prepared a gift for me!"

"Because I came here with a gift from the beginning." Lin Nian took out a beautifully wrapped box from the bag on the ground beside the chair, put it on the edge of the chessboard, pushed it to Mandy and said:

"Senior sister, happy birthday."

"Hoho! A birthday gift prepared by my junior brother! It's time!" Mandy brought the gift over. The box was about fifteen centimeters in pink packaging, tied with beautiful silk and satin, and there was a greeting card with birthday written in Spanish Happy and Mandy's full names.

"What's inside? A necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels or a lipstick from Chanel?" Mandy shook the gift and heard the sound, her face gradually became excited, "The products produced by the junior brother must be high-quality goods, I know the senior sister, you have never been a stingy person Son."

"Unfortunately, neither." Lin Nian scratched his cheek lightly with his thumb, "But you can take it apart and have a look now."

"Wouldn't it be rude to open a gift in front of someone?" Mandy asked suspiciously.

"There's no such thing as us." Lin Nian shook his head. "Gifts are meant to be opened and viewed. Sharing joy is the greatest meaning of gifts."

"Then I'm not going to be polite." Mandy tore open the gift three times and five times. After looking inside, her expression froze for a moment, and she took out a dark red bullet pendant wearing a necklace from inside.

"I've been preparing for a while, I hope you like it." Lin Nian looked at Mandy and said.

At this time, the girl was looking at the dark red bullet pendant in the sunlight, as if she was thinking about the purity of the crystal, and whether she could exchange some money for new clothes if she pawned it.

"It's very beautiful, junior brother, you have a heart. But you still have to learn from your sister in terms of caring. She gave me a knitted sweater." Finally, Mandy put the necklace into the pocket of her jeans with a smile on her face. He bent forward, tugged at the collar, and showed Lin Nian the turtleneck sweater inside, "It's hand-knitted, it's really warm to wear, and there's no need to buy clothes temporarily when the season changes."

Lin Nian took a careful look at the pattern of the sweater, nodded and said, "It is indeed her handiwork. Every time I spend the winter, she will knit a sweater for me, and it will be stuffed for me in a few days. She's not happy without it."

"Damn it, Junior Brother, you are so honest. I was expecting you to blushed and say 'Senior Sister, don't want me'. Am I doing something wrong?" Mandy straightened up dejectedly, loosened the neckline and patted her chest.

"Aren't you going to have a party for your birthday? If you want to, I can ask someone to arrange it for you." Lin Nian looked up at the golden dome of the chess room full of fallen leaves and said, "It is already a thing in the academy to hold a party every birthday. Is it customary? There is also a department in your student union called the party department? You can also rent the venue in the Ambo Hall to play."

"Parties are not for me." Mandy scratched her hair, "And renting venues is extremely expensive, where do I get spare money?"

"I borrow from you?"

"The one that doesn't pay back?"

"Yes, indeed, the party is not suitable for you." Lin Nian nodded.

"Damn it, it's so realistic, Junior Brother." Mandy rolled her eyes at Lin Nian, "Besides, there's no time for a party. Have you forgotten that I have something important to do this afternoon?"

Lin Nian paused for a moment with the hand that moved the white emperor piece on the chessboard, and looked up at Mandy, "Is it in the afternoon?"

"The executive department has already sent a notice, and many senior students have been called over." Mandy took out her mobile phone and slid out a text message to show Lin Nian.

"It's unlucky for you to be sent as an intern on your birthday." Although Lin Nian knew about it, he couldn't help but say this.

"Hey, it's like having to work overtime on New Year's Eve. I have to work hard for the salary (credits)." Mandy put down the phone and sighed, "I don't know if this task is troublesome. I hope I can be assigned to the logistics department." Go to the group, just sit on the bench, the brave big brothers rush to the front, and I will cheer from behind!"

"Didn't you collect your credits when we went to Japan before?" Lin Nian put his hands in the pockets of his school uniform jacket.

"It's a little short, the end of this internship should be enough, you can just graduate right away?" Mandy raised her eyebrows, "As long as I come back from this mission, I will be relaxed!"

"Then do you really plan to do logistics after graduation?"

"Yeah, how about I pick up a knife and chop people up like you supermen?" Mandy bent her right hand and patted her arm, "My thin arms and legs can't stand it."

"Whatever." After thinking about it, Lin Nian realized that he really had nothing to say. He nodded slightly and said, "Although this is the last internship, we should be careful not to capsize in the gutter."

"Understood." Mandy waved her hand, "It's just a pity that I didn't give up your cabbage, Junior Brother, until graduation."

"My sister will beat you up when she hears you say this?" Lin Nian looked at Mandy with a smile.

“揍？你真是太看清你姐了，她有多爱你你又不是不知道。”曼蒂伸脖子吐了吐舌头，“上次我调侃说再没人对你动手，我就对你I did it, she ignored me for a whole week, and when I came to apologize later, she said to me with a blank face, oh? The innocent look on her face gave me goosebumps."

"She's always been good at being black-bellied." Lin Nian laughed.

"Damn it, after thinking about it, I still feel like I'm at a loss!" Mandy suddenly slapped the table, her face filled with righteous indignation, "The younger brother who has been raised for more than half a year still has to be raped by the younger sister in the end! Sure enough, all the younger brothers belong to the younger sister? Is it not allowed for cows to gnaw tender grass? What kind of world is this!"

"What junior sister? What are you talking about?" Lin Nian looked puzzled.

"It's that Wei Lewa." Mandy clicked her tongue, "That local rich girl in your support group."

"... Tuhaomei? Don't take strange nicknames for others."

"You don't know? That Vileva Helsinki, her family is a registered duke. The royal family is related to them. Every year, the whole family will be invited to the royal party." Mandy raised her eyebrows.

"Isn't Finland a republic, where did the nobles come from?" Lin Nian was stunned for a moment.

"Swedish aristocrat, she is Finnish, but her ancestors are Swedish." Mandy said, "The real aristocratic class is very rich, and if it is pushed back to the ancestors, if Finland still maintains the title of nobility, then she must be considered a royal family." Princess, after all, her mother's line is the royal family of the Tsarist era! So she should also have one-third of Russian blood, and her hair is platinum-blonde. You don’t need to salute when you see the royal family when you are in a relationship, and you can communicate with princesses and princes in the same generation.”

"This little Finnish princess is probably the most prestigious among this group of freshmen. Not to mention her own blood is the best, and she is also very rich. Her family is now a leader in the international fish oil market, and the standard money is brought. Didn’t the Student Union and the Lionheart Club break a lot of things before entering the school? Caesar said that the Student Union would compensate all the losses caused by the Freedom Day, and then the Lionheart Club was not to be outdone. Let me stand up and say that our Lionheart Club has deployed defenses in the artificial lake, so I will set an example and donate a new artificial lake to the school."

"But what does this have to do with me?" Lin Nian showed a lack of interest after hearing this.

"When the artificial lake hits your head, you'll know it's none of your business." Mandy looked at Lin Nian like a fool and said, "He just joined the Lionheart Club and is willing to donate an artificial lake for the club. What do you think? In order to chase the boy she likes, what kind of monster will she do?"

Lin Nian scratched his neck, "Huh?"

"Gossip, that little Finnish princess is quite interested in you, she seems to have had a crush on you since Freedom Day, and now she's collecting information about you like crazy in private," Mandy said.

"It's none of my business." Lin Nian shook his head.

"It's really wood. The princess asked me to fall in love. If I were a man, I would have agreed on the spot." Mandy looked at Lin Nian sadly and angrily, "I only sell it with a Balenciaga coat for the season. I got your birthday horoscope information."

"You're still selling me my birth date. I don't know her, so falling in love with her is worse than falling in love with you, senior sister. Anyway, it feels just as weird." Lin Nian complained.

"You put it here to compare yourself to bad, don't you? Although your senior sister is a little poor, she is still pursued by many people!" Mandy squinted at Lin Nian, "But don't you also yell about being poor every day? Why not? Seeing you go straight into the family?"

"Aren't you clamoring to fall in love every day? Is it hard to be single? Why didn't I see you looking for a boyfriend?"

"Hurt each other really well, Junior Brother." Mandy raised her eyebrows, "Let me tell you, I will find someone to fall in love with when I come back from this mission, and within half a year, I will let you, little guy, be with you!" At the wedding banquet, I cried so much that snot bubbles came out of my nose, and I cursed myself for not keeping your senior sister and me back then."

"Oh." Lin Nian gave her a blank look.

"Tsk, chatting with you is really boring, it's like a log." Mandy jumped over the table and slapped Lin Nian on the head, and moved the black hair in relief.

Lin Nian was also forced to lose his temper, and would have moved back on other days, but today is his birthday anyway, so he should be accommodating this unscrupulous, idiot senior sister.

"Slip away, go back and pack up and go to the executive department to report! I hope to see my junior brother who has been picked up by my junior sister when I come back from the mission!" After venting, Mandy turned around refreshed and walked with her hands in her jeans pockets. towards the gate.

"Thinking too much." Lin Nian sat on the chair and looked at her with a smile, "Be careful all the way."

Mandy raised her hand and clenched her fist and waved it, which should mean that she must win, opened the door and trotted out.

Lin Nian sat on the chair for a while before Shi Shiran got up and was about to leave. When he was about to put away the chess pieces on the table, he suddenly found that one chess piece was missing.

He froze for a moment, glanced at that the black piece was indeed one less than the white piece, and subconsciously lowered his head to look at the ground, but he couldn't find the piece.

This unlucky Mandy can lose the chess piece even if she plays a chess game frizzily.Lin Nian bent down and searched the ground for a long time, but he couldn't find the shadow of the chess piece, and a depressed look appeared on his face.

The chess pieces in the chess room are publicly owned and made of black and white jade. The cost is quite expensive. If they are lost, they will be compensated. If they are really lost, he will probably get a sum of compensation for no reason.

"How could it be?" Lin Nian searched for a while in disbelief, but he really couldn't find the chess piece, as if it disappeared out of thin air.

After a long while, he finally chose to give up, and was about to pull out his phone to report to the chess club, but when he put his hand into his coat pocket, he froze, and it took him a while to remove his hand from the chess club. He took it out of his pocket.

He slowly opened his palm, and what was lying in the palm was the missing chess piece.

In the golden leaves of the dome, under the laziness of the sun, the black emperor lay quietly in the palm of Lin Nian, the bright black jade reflected the cold white light.
