The age of great voyages

Chapter 156 On How to Kill the Protagonist Reasonably and Reasonably
So, no matter in any world, top-notch adventures like this are prepared for the protagonists. There are many young heroes from the martial arts world at the Motianya Chess Competition, but in fact, only Lin Chen and Xie Wudi are eligible to compete. Everyone else is just a foil.

In Lizhuang in the valley, a large area of ​​flat ground has been cleared out, and many tables have been set up, with different Go endgames on them. At this time, many teenagers are thinking hard about solving the endgames in front of the tables.

When Lin Chen and his party arrived, Zhu Dingshan cupped his hands and said:
"Then let's part for the time being. Although I don't have much hope, little brother, I still have to try."

He nodded, and the other classmates said goodbye in the same way, and soon he was left alone.

The Scarlet Queen was not with him, she was hidden in the small building where he lived. If anything happened, he would just scream and she would come over.

His current strength is different from before, unless several martial arts masters besiege, or Chu An, the son of the abyss, arrives, otherwise he will be fine.

With his hands behind his back, he came to a small table, on which there was an endgame, the white pieces and the black pieces intertwined, there was me in you, and you in me, almost covering the entire chessboard. There are five spaces, and the challenger will decide the winner by placing a ball in these five spaces.

This is a very standard decisive endgame, where the outcome is determined by one piece, and there is no chance of regretting the move.

Standing beside this table were four young knights and a servant of Li Zhuang. This was the servant who was in charge of judging the table and playing games with the knights. At this time, the young knights were all staring at the table and thinking hard about how to break the game.

Although the first level of Chess Club is not too difficult, it is not that easy, especially since most young heroes have spent their entire lives in martial arts, so they have no time to study Go, and some may not even know how to play Go. Completely dumbfounded.

Of course, I knew very early on that the chess meeting was held and knew that it was related to chess. Many people crammed to delve into the chess records, but they only knew the general idea, how to play, and the level.
Anyway, Lin Chen looked at it and felt that the chess game was too complicated. On the surface, the black and white sides were evenly matched, and the number of pieces was not much different. The criss-crossed pieces looked like both sides were dangerous, but he didn't know how to break the game.

His Go level is about the same as most of the young chivalrous men around him. They are masters who only know the basic rules.

Lin Chen knew his own level of Go very well, so he didn't think too much about it at all, and just wandered around the tables casually.

It is not easy to observe which chess game, but to observe which chess game has a feeling.

It is definitely useless for Zheng'er to play chess, but he is also the son of destiny. I didn't say it before, since he came back from the Western Regions, he has been slowly enjoying the treatment of the protagonist. Like this adventure that was supposed to be tailor-made for Xie Wudi, now there are His share, he and Xie Wudi can compete for this opportunity.

In this way, there is no way he can stop him in the previous chess game. Under the care of World Father, he can win even if he doesn't know how to play.

After all, I have counted all kinds of competitions in novels and film and television dramas, and I have never heard of the protagonist being unable to pass the first level. He doesn't want face, and the father of the world will want face.

So what he has to do now is to find the feeling. If he finds the feeling, he can win even if he makes a blind move.

After 3 minutes, he turned to one of the tables, which was also an endgame that determined the outcome. As soon as his eyes fell, he suddenly felt his eyes brighten. He understood immediately, took out a white chess piece and was about to put it in a bright place, when he heard the servant beside the table say:
"Young hero, you only have three chances to try. You will have no regrets if you make a move. Are you sure about your move?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly, and the white pieces fell down with a 'pop' sound, and then he looked up at the servant.

The servant lowered his head to check the endgame, then took out a piece of paper to check it again, took a black piece and landed it, directly captured his small white piece, then looked up at Lin Chen and said:
"Young hero, you have already lost."

Lin Chen frowned, took out another white piece from the jar, dropped it somewhere on the chessboard, and said:

"Continue!"

The servant hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Young man, I have already eaten a piece of your white stone, have you already lost?"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and said:
"I still have so many pieces, and I still have a chance to win, can't I continue playing?"

A young man in white who was watching from the side laughed and said:
"Normally speaking, of course you can still play, but you have already been besieged and killed more than a dozen people, and you are already at a disadvantage. If you continue to play, you will lose. Why not start over?"

"Oh, I thought I lost by now."

Lin Chen smiled at the servant and continued:

"Keep going, I want to make a comeback."

The servant couldn't, and there was indeed no rule that he couldn't continue playing, so he pinched another piece and put it on the board. It seemed that he was going to encircle a big dragon of white chess and make him fail completely.

But as soon as he dropped a piece, Lin Chen dropped another white piece with a 'pop'.

The servant was stunned for a moment and continued to make mistakes.

Afterwards, every time the servant finished making a move, Lin Chen would play the white move almost instantly, as if he didn't need to think about it.

At first the servant didn't pay attention to it, but when the two sides came and went for more than ten rounds, he suddenly found that he was four or five rounds away from killing Bai Zi and Da Long in his plan. Instead, a big dragon of his was surrounded instead, and It's still a dead end game, no matter how he plays, the opponent can calmly surround and kill his dragon.

The servant stood there for a long while, then discarded the sunspots on the chessboard, surrendered, took out a wooden waist card from his body, and handed it to Lin Chen, saying:
"Young master is very skilled at chess, the little one admits defeat, and with this waist card, you can enter the village to meet the old lady."

Lin Chen cupped his hands and laughed:
"Thank you!"

Mei Zizi reached out to take the waist badge, slightly bowed to the dumbfounded man in white, turned and left.

Apart from clearing the level, the more important reason for being so happy is that it feels so good to be the protagonist. In the previous game, he played completely randomly. Except for the hints on the first three chess pieces, he played the latter completely by feeling, and there was no white light hint at all, but The result was that he defeated Heizi in one go, slaughtered the opponent's dragon in one go, and ate dozens of chess pieces, which directly made him lose confidence and surrender.

This is the halo of the protagonist in the legend. After the third son, it is not without the help of the will of the world, but in a different way.

Think about it, he is just a rookie who has just mastered the rules of Go, and he is not a genius. Under normal circumstances, how can he beat Li Zhuang's servant who is in the upper hand and has certain chess skills? When facing him, the Son of Destiny, he fell, and didn't pay attention to where his white stone landed. He didn't react until Dalong was about to be slaughtered, but he was powerless to recover.

Entering Lizhuang with a waist card, a servant in yellow led him to Xiaoyao Pavilion in the village, a loft with a large area. The servant in yellow sang loudly:
"Lin Chen, the true disciple of Feiyun Sect, has arrived!"

A dozen or so young knights in the hall looked over at the same time, and Lin Chen, who had just entered the hall, met Xie Wudi's eyes almost instantly, and both of them could see the undisguised killing intent in each other's eyes.

However, Lin Chen only glanced at it and then moved away. He strode into the hall and bowed to an old man sitting at the head, and said in a deep voice:

"Junior Lin Chen, pay homage to Master Li."

This old man is not Li Yao, but Li Yao's son, the current owner of Li Zhuang.

The old man nodded, pointed to a chair with empty fingers to signal Lin Chen to sit down, and said:

"Nephew Lin's famous old man has heard of him. He is superb in martial arts and hates evil like a vengeful. He has been in the Jianghu for many years and killed countless demons. He is one of the best young heroes in the younger generation. The old man can't compare with him when he was young. It is a great blessing to have such a hero in the world. .”

"Don't dare!"

Lin Chen pretended to be humble, and sat down on a chair not far away.

It was as if he was putting on a show, and the owner of the Li villa was only being polite when he said that. Not long after he sat down, people passed the endgame test one after another, and the owner of the Li villa praised him a lot. It is hard for him to say so many compliments without repeating them. If not, it is even more difficult for him to maintain a kind expression towards everyone.

Strictly speaking, the chess club only lasts for two days. In fact, the first day is related to the theme. After the first batch of screening is completed, the eliminated ones can be guests in the villa or leave, while the passers will meet with Li on the second day. Senior Yao, but he doesn't know exactly how to decide the winner.

It is not appropriate to use the word "determinor" to describe it. Strictly speaking, this is not a competition. In fact, it is up to Senior Li Yao to choose who to choose. After all, the skill is his own, and it is his business to choose who to inherit. .

Ordinarily, Senior Li Yao held this chess match with great fanfare so that everyone could compete, but in fact, with the arrival of Xie Wudi, the son of destiny, this competition was just a formality.

Lin Chen was seated at the back, and the seat at the front was Xie Wudi next to Mr. Li. When no one came, Mr. Li and Xie Wudi were chatting, and they seemed to be having a good chat. hit it off.Unlike Li Junling's father who disliked Xie Wudi a few days ago, the owner of the villa seems to be very optimistic about Xie Wudi as his grandson-in-law.

Sensing something, he raised his eyelids. Lin Chen happened to see Xie Wudi's proud look as he looked over. He could read the meaning in Xie Wudi's eyes:
"I will definitely win this opportunity!"

Lin Chen snorted softly, turned his head and chatted with a bald monk beside him.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the one sitting next to him happened to be a monk from the Dakong Temple, and there were two of them, one was a handsome monk with delicate features, and the other was the thin monk he had sensed before. Two people from the Dakong Temple passed by Chess will come in.

Through communication, he knew that the Jun monk among the two was the chief disciple of the Arhat Hall of Dakong Temple, named Ming Kong, and the other thin monk was the chief disciple of the Bodhidharma Hall, named Ming Yuan.

In fact, besides taking part in the chess meeting, they also have other tasks when they come here. When the chess meeting is over, the disciples of Dakong Temple will divide into several teams to deliver letters.

They didn't say what letter to send to Zhun, and Lin Chen didn't ask, but it's probably not a trivial matter to see such a big game.

The final selection of successors will be tomorrow. They don't have to sit here all the time. After waiting for almost two hours, more than 20 people have gathered in the hall.

When the time came, Master Li clapped his hands and said loudly:
"It's already noon, and the wine has been prepared in the village, everyone, please come to the table!"

After speaking, he turned and entered the inner hall behind the screen. Others got up one after another and prepared to go out with Zhuang Ding, when they suddenly heard a small female voice calling from behind. I could hear it, and when I turned around, I saw a girl in a green skirt holding a bamboo paper fan to cover her face, revealing a pair of big affectionate eyes looking at Xie Wudi, and beckoning him to go over quietly.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time to make her turn around and hide behind the screen, and soon a maid came out and said a few words in Xie Wudi's ear. Xie Wudi smiled, turned around and cupped his hands to the others:

"Friends are calling, you are excused, I am rude, I am rude!"

Even so, the pride on his face couldn't be concealed, especially when he looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at him with a blank expression as he bowed his hands to the maid triumphantly and entered behind the screen, a sneer appeared on his face.

"How naive!"

In his eyes, Xie Wudi's series of actions were really stupid. He didn't know whether it was because of the usual smooth flow that made him lose his vigilance, or because his confidence in himself was too much, or because he underestimated himself. The opponent's strength was so strong that he thought he could surpass Lin Chen by seizing this opportunity.

Of course, he can't be blamed. Although he is the protagonist of Destiny, he has limited knowledge after all. He doesn't know that there is something called cheating in the world.

The destiny inertia of the protagonist of the world is too strong, even if he gets half of his destiny, the rest is enough. Xie Wudi crushed all other opponents to get this opportunity, even Lin Chen couldn't match it.

The time for him to obtain the destiny is too short, and this opportunity has already been arranged, just like the plot, it has been laid out long ago when he met Li Junling, and now everything will come to fruition, just waiting for Xie Wudi to come and harvest the fruits.

In fact, Lin Chen guessed that if he hadn't also received the destiny, there might not have been a chess club. He guessed that the real plot was that Xie Wudi and Li Junling returned to Lizhuang, and then after a series of coincidences, Li Yao spotted him and directly taught him the skills. No one else has anything to do, let alone any sudden Xiaoyao chess meeting.

It can be seen from this that if I, a half-way monk, wants to compete with Xie Wudi, the son of destiny who has been arranged from the beginning, it is difficult to win in the normal way, and he can only win by surprise.

Lin Chen already had a plan, and that was to kill Xie Wudi as soon as possible.

When I see Senior Li Yao tomorrow, I will fight if I have the chance. If I can't fight, I will beat Xie Wudi to death directly.

There are many reasons, and he has already thought of a perfect reason, the excuse that Xie Wudi flirted with his woman.

It doesn’t matter whether the reason is true or not, the point is that it can be justified. Many people saw it when Xie Wudi was pestering the dragon girl at Taniguchi, and many people saw him forcefully snatching the dragon girl back from Xie Wudi. These are all witnesses. It is completely normal and reasonable for him to use this reason to seek revenge.

In this case, you don't even need a challenge, you can fight directly. If you challenge him, you are afraid that Xie Wudi will not agree.

Young people, they are light-hearted and full of blood, and it is completely reasonable to seek revenge for love!
