I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Bai Yaksha noticed Cheng Rang's expression at this moment, and said slowly: "It's okay...why do you ask this suddenly?"

"That's easy to handle. This is a super popular game from another world. Even the gods in charge of various worlds have been addicted to it. It is definitely interesting..."

Cheng Rang put his hand into his arms and pretended to take it out twice. Then, under Bai Yaksha's gaze, he threw a huge chessboard out of his hand and landed on the ground in front of the two of them with a thud. He explained Said: "This is a miraculous game with infinite possibilities where the rules can be changed according to the strength of both players! In addition, because the props used in the game are of great artistic value, they are regarded as treasures by many collectors... Of course I have one."

"Can..."

"Don't worry about not being able to master it or that the rules of the game are too complicated. The reason why this thing is so popular in other worlds is that the rules are extremely versatile. You must know chess, right?"

Bai Yaksha nodded.

"Then it's not a problem at all! Even though I was a beginner, I was able to play against the masters of this game..." Cheng Rang patted his butt and stood up from the ground, raising his hand to hit him. Snap your fingers, and the 16*8 black and white chessboard grid quickly flips over, and dozens of exquisite and wild demon chess pieces appear on it.

"The chessboard is a bit special...but it's only twice as wide as chess, but has half as many pieces."

Although Bai Yaksha was initially attracted by the unique chess pieces on the Demon War chess board that were intricately carved and looked like works of art, she looked left and right and couldn't see the frivolous things Cheng Rang said, so Asked: "What are the infinite possibilities you are talking about?"

Cheng Rang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and thought: I'm not afraid that you'll look down on me, but I'm afraid that you won't be interested. As long as you ask this question, don't blame yourself for being addicted to it!

"It does seem a bit simple at first glance, but this is just the beginning. The interesting parts will slowly emerge after the game begins." In order to whet Bai Yaksha's appetite, Cheng Rang started to explain and demonstrate step by step.

He grabbed a black chess piece, held it in his hand and tossed it up and down, but it still didn't land.

"The first rule of Demon War Chess is that Black moves first. What is different from other chess rules is that there are two ways to win or lose in addition to the opponent's 'Demon King' and 'Demon King' who checkmate the opponent."

"Which two?"

"After Black makes a move in the first step, both parties must not think about the move for more than fifteen seconds, otherwise the game will be considered a loss."

"It seems to be a fast-paced chess game. No wonder the pieces are half as short as chess." Bai Yasha pinched his chin and nodded complacently.

fast paced?

The corners of Cheng Rang's mouth obviously became wider. He shook his finger mysteriously and said, "The second way to win is when you have more than half the battlefield area than the opponent."

"War zone?"

"The reason why this is a game with infinite possibilities is precisely because of this second rule!" The black chess piece in Cheng Rang's hand finally landed on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.

At the same time, the disc timing pointer in the corner of the chessboard began to rotate. One revolution was exactly fifteen seconds, and the game had begun.

In order to clearly explain the rules and the most distinctive aspects of the demon war chess to Bai Yaksha, Cheng Rang quickly laid out a chess table where the battlefield was about to unfold.

"Is there no rule for capturing pieces in this kind of chess?" Bai Yaksha couldn't help but ask as he watched Cheng Rang moving around on the chessboard but there were no fewer pieces on either side.

"Of course, but I think if you get started, you will know that it is extremely uneconomical to capture your opponent's pieces on the initial chessboard."

"Why? Wait...you mean the initial chessboard?!" Bai Yaksha immediately noticed another meaning in Cheng Rang's words.

"Smart, as expected of Lord Bai Yaksha!" Cheng Rang pointed at Bai Yaksha with an appreciative smile.

At the beginning of Demon War Chess, there are only twelve chess pieces on each side of the 16-square chessboard. One of them is the 'King', which cannot be moved in the center of the bottom. The other chess pieces have their own attributes and restrict each other.

To put it simply, it is like forming a bond in a certain auto-chess game. Each chess piece has its own bond camp and also has mutually incompatible attributes. It also has extremely strict requirements for occupying some special positions on the chess board.

"Although capturing the opponent's pieces at the beginning can give you a slight advantage in strength, it will obviously bring convenience to your opponent if your skills reach an advanced level."

Cheng Rang demonstratively used one of White's pieces to capture Black's piece. Then when it was Black's turn to hold the piece, Cheng Rang moved another piece from the corner.

A few more times

After the combination, the white chess piece was located in the wrong grid because it captured the black chess piece, and was unable to form the position required for the expansion of the battlefield. On the other hand, the black chess piece surrounded the surrounded white flag in the center.

"Look out, this is one of the advanced gameplay methods of Demon War Chess, and it will unfold in a transformational way..."

Cheng Rang pointed his finger at the top of the white chess piece and said solemnly: "Fallen demons and gargoyles surround G5, transform into pterosaurs, and the battlefield unfolds."

As the words fell, the white pterosaur chess pieces flipped over and transformed into black chess pieces. With the sound of intensive rotation of mechanical gears, the initial chessboard finally unfolded under Bai Yasha's gaze.

Click-click!

The main chessboard began to rotate and expand like a Rubik's Cube. At the four corners of the chessboard, the circular chessboard that Shiroyasha initially thought was just a decoration began to be lifted up by the mechanical arm and slowly rose.

After a period of unfolding changes with great visual effects, the true appearance of the Demon War Chess finally took shape.

"The chess pieces... have been transformed?! Not only that, there are even more, and even the chessboard..."

New chess pieces appeared on the mini chessboard with four raised corners. Bai Yaksha followed Cheng Rang and gradually made moves. The chess path that he had just begun to understand became several times more complicated, and his train of thought couldn't help but break down.

The moment Cheng Rang noticed the change in Bai Yaksha's expression, he stopped what he was doing and waited with a smile.

Taken the bait~

This is a highly fantasy game that requires consideration of logic, strategy, overall perspective and even a small amount of luck. As long as you get started with it, you will be attracted by this game with infinite possibilities.

But as a novice bystander, ShiroYasha, who did not have the mental connection of the demon chessboard to assist him, had obviously begun to focus on one thing and not the other. The chess path he was constantly deducing in his mind also fell into a knot because of the sudden appearance of multiple chessboards and chess pieces. A knotted dead end.

The timing pointer on the chessboard quickly completed a circle and made a clear ringing sound, waking up Shiroyasha who was trapped in the chess game.

"Ah...I actually..."

"Fifteen seconds are up." Cheng Rang raised his hand and pushed down the white main chess piece representing the demon king, showing the expression of a small fish who had successfully taken the bait. "White is defeated. You must have not figured out how to solve Black's battle, Bai Yaksha." What’s the chess strategy after the domain is expanded?”

Yes, after Bai Yaksha proposed the act of "eating pieces" and manipulated the white chess pieces to capture the black chess pieces, Cheng Rang had already brought Bai Yaksha into the ditch.

At that time, Bai Yasha had already inserted himself into the white side's chess game and was eager to win the game. ,

This is the addictive charm of Demon War Chess - it is extremely easy to get started, but difficult to master. The game is complex but exquisite and interesting, and it also incorporates the luck factor that can turn the situation around like a gambler...

And the more equal the strength of the two sides, the more complicated the game becomes. It is undoubtedly one of the most popular games in the different world.

It is a miracle game with infinite possibilities!

Chapter 24 You won’t be happy playing chess like this

The unfolded chessboard was recycled layer by layer and returned to the way it was at the beginning.

"How about it, are you satisfied with this 'deal' bargaining chip?" Cheng Rang spread his hands, "A top-level game from another world, plus one-on-one teaching from a genius chess player like me, in exchange for a The appraisal of the gift card... and the confidentiality of our previous conversation are a sure-win deal, right? You must know that this art-level demon war chess is also very expensive."

Bai Yasha stared at the black and white chess pieces that had automatically rearranged themselves. He didn't hesitate. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, no problem, but I want to play a game with you now."

"Of course, do you need me to let you go?" Cheng Rang smiled happily, obviously because he hadn't played chess for a while, and his heart started to feel itchy.

"No need!" Bai Yaksha threw the blank gift card in his hand into Cheng Rang's arms and couldn't wait to sit behind the white demon tribe's chess pieces, looking eager to try.

"Okay, then let you experience the charm of this game for yourself. After all, I am very strong..." Cheng Rang sat down, picked up the black chess piece representing Yaksha, and landed it on the chessboard square. .

"Games start...!"

The black-red magma ground gradually cooled and turned into hot hard rock again. The smoke screen under the white night also gradually dispersed in the warm wind, and the crisp sound of falling pieces began to rise one after another in the silent game field.

Time gradually passed, and after a brief positioning and paving the way, Bai Yasha took the lead in launching the first wave of offensive.

"The pterosaurs of E7 and the Crusaders are combined, the second phase is completed, and the battle area is expanded!"

Under Bai Yasha's expectant gaze, the first battle field expansion laid out by himself was completed amidst the wonderful sound of mechanical gears. Since it was the simplest battle field expansion in the first stage, the circular chessboard on the four corners only rose. Got two.

However, when the battle situation on the extra chess board was clearly reflected in his mind, and he felt that the instantly complicated battle situation was still under the control of his clear thinking, Bai Yasha suddenly said: "Huh? The situation on the extra chess board... "

"It appears in your brain, right?" Cheng Rang has been cooperating with Bai Yaksha's chess game without leaving any trace, and has been waiting for this moment.

I still remember that I was very interested in the demon war chess game.

When it was interesting, this guy Fimto also discovered this by guiding himself to start the battle field in person after holding back his hands everywhere.

The feeling of having a complex battle under control is really wonderful.

And when Cheng Rang did the same thing as Fimto, looking at Bai Yaksha's excited expression, he realized that pulling people into a trap could be so pleasurable!

"Well, originally I was still worried about how to master the complex chess game after the battlefield started, but this thing really gave me a big surprise, interesting!" Bai Yaksha has been completely immersed in this wonderful game. I can't help myself in the game...

But she didn't realize at all that Cheng Rang was setting up a bigger game under her nose.

Is bullying a newbie so much fun? ! What's more, the cute newcomer in front of me is a white-haired lolita...

Holding back the corners of his mouth that kept rising, Cheng Rang gave a thumbs up and praised, "As expected of Lord Bai Yaksha, the speed at which he mastered this game is astonishing."

"Of course, I am the Demon King!" Bai Yaksha raised his chin proudly, "If you don't make a move, fifteen seconds will pass. You who think you are a genius standard-bearer can't be like this, right? "

Cheng Rang raised his eyebrows: "Well, it seems that I need to be a little more serious. It's time for you to see how cruel the real demon war chess is!"

"Huh, I'm looking forward to it!"

The game continued, and the main chessboard had been expanded for the second time. However, Cheng Rang still did not actively complete the expansion of the battle field. He only controlled and pulled the corresponding black chess pieces generated in the battle field of Bai Yaksha.

According to the rules, the game will end when one party's battlefield completion is 50% greater than the opponent's, and now Shiroyasha is very close to this goal.

"Aren't you going to launch an offensive yet? The feeling of your sword moves during the duel was completely different from what it is now." Bai Yaksha continued to challenge Cheng Rang while keeping his hands on his hands.

"Not the time."

Seeing how confident Cheng Rang was, Bai Yasha couldn't help but chuckle: "Then you may have to lose to me, a newbie who is playing for the first time!"

ShiroYasha, who thinks he can hide his backhand very well, can't even hide his excitement about winning. In just one step, the three-stage expansion of "Mad Battle City" that he secretly planned will be completed. For this step, it can be called a shadow. As the strange move unfolded, she even secretly used her computing power as a protoss, intending to completely crush the human opponent in front of her in terms of "hardware" and strategy.

Ta...Cheng Rang silently settled down again, and he still did not start the battle.

"I won...!" Shiro Yaksha was waiting for this moment. When the timing wheel representing the white side began to spin, she dropped the chess piece representing the castle without hesitation.

And jumped into the hole Cheng Rang had dug for her long ago...

"The four cities are completed, abandon the pterosaurs and the Crusaders. Take an oath... Mad Battle City, come out!" Bai Yaksha even started to shout a little bit.

The mechanical gears began to rotate, and the four spherical sub-chessboards clicked open, with black and white chess pieces scattered on them. After that, the chessboard became quiet.

Bah—ding!

"In this way, my battle area is half that of yours, and you lose...eh?"

Under Bai Yaksha's somewhat dazed gaze, Cheng let the timing roulette in his hand start spinning - the chess game was not over yet.

"Get in the suit~"

"How is it possible? In my calculations... we should have already won!"

Cheng Rang let out a long breath, and the suppressed smile finally appeared on his face, "The super expansion you are hiding is indeed good, but don't forget..."

The clicking sounds of gears started to sound. After Cheng Rang made the last move, the situation of the battle suddenly turned!

"If a high-level battle domain that requires a lower-level battle domain as a sacrifice appears, you can easily give up the last step of the construction on my main chessboard!"

"What? Could it be..."

As if she had a sudden realization, Shiroyasha returned her attention to the main chessboard that she had no longer paid attention to. The overly complicated battlefield had begun to bring a slight burden and blind spots to her thinking.

The two-phase chessboard that was first completed... now fell back to Cheng Rang's main chessboard as a victim due to the expansion of the advanced battle field. And these two 4x4 small battle fields happened to be where Cheng Rang made this move. place.

"It's a pity...this wave is a mass killing."

The spear that represents everything that penetrates completes the last piece of the puzzle, and it was given to Cheng Rang personally by Bai Yaksha.

In the continuous clicking sound, the chess piece representing the Demon King in the center of the bottom line of the main chessboard could not move, but the chess piece that originally belonged to him in front of him had turned the sharp blade in his hand and turned into a black square...

"Is this... conversion expansion?!"

"CheckMate! (CheckMate)"

That's right, Cheng Rang used the ultimate hiding technique that she first taught Bai Yaksha. In a sudden turn of the battle, her main chess piece died on the throne. One of the victory conditions of the demon war chess had been achieved, and then... No amount of battlefield suppression could save the situation where the spear was nailed to the demon king's neck.

After struggling for a whole game, Cheng Rang finally turned around and let the singing player win the game. It can be called a teaching game with black hands and a heart.

"Playing chess with novices

Do you want to use this method too? ! Playing chess like this won't bring you happiness! "

"Isn't it okay if I win? Besides, I didn't commit any fouls~ It's just that my routine was a little dirty." Cheng Rang laughed with a look on his face that didn't deserve a beating.

"...Woah!"

"Hey, wait a minute, don't take action if you can't win the chess game. Put down the sovereignty of the sun in your hands!"

"It's useless to talk!"

"Elegant Butterfly!!"

Chapter 25 "Unanalyzable" and "Unclear"

Back to the present, in order to fool the people who were questioning him in front of him, Cheng Rang took out three more gift cards from his arms and said: "Okay, isn't the purpose of your coming here to conduct gift appraisal, so this thing It’s necessary, I’ll get it for you by the way, here it is!”

Under the gaze of Black Rabbit's wonderful expression, the gift card was casually thrown into Izayoi's hands by Cheng Rang.

"Oh, 3Q!" After receiving the gift card thrown by the process, Izayoi gave the other two to Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yoshi.
