Human race, but was chased by girls from all races

……

……

In the Forbidden Forest, the Forbidden Forest Temple, and the Gem Secret Realm, Lin Tianlang and Principal Meis sat opposite each other in the small pavilion. In front of them was a chessboard, and the chess pieces on it were moving autonomously under the control of the two.

This kind of chess is a very common magic chess in the magic world. The gameplay is very similar to chess, but slightly different. However, the biggest difference is that the chess pieces on the board do not need to be manipulated manually. Instead, the chess player injects his own magic power and a trace of mental power into it to control the movement of the chess pieces on the board.

This kind of magic chess has appeared in the magic world a long time ago. The reason why it is controlled by magic instead of letting the chess player play by himself is also for a reason. On the one hand, those who have no magic ability at all cannot play chess at all because they cannot control the chess pieces; on the other hand, due to the special rules of capturing pieces in magic chess, the victory or defeat of the game is affected by both the chess player's own chess strength and the strength of the player's mental strength.

On the board of Magic Chess, at the beginning of each game, the chess pieces on the board will "come alive", and the so-called capture is actually a one-on-one duel between the chess player and the opponent's chess piece. The party that captures will enjoy the domain power of the chessboard and have additional suppression power, and the party that is captured will be subject to additional suppression. However, this can be strengthened by the mental strength of the chess players on both sides. If the mental power gap between the chess players on both sides is very large, the party that is captured can still control the chess pieces through its own powerful mental power to win the duel, causing the opponent's behavior of capturing pieces to become an act of suicide.

Therefore, under this rule, if there is no reservation between the two players, the player with stronger mental strength will usually have a greater chance of winning, because it is easy for him to capture the opponent, while it is difficult for the opponent to capture him, and he may even make things worse. However, generally speaking, when friends play chess, if both parties agree, as long as the player who is captured does not control the chess pieces to resist, there will be no problem. This can reduce the influence of the mental strength of both parties to a certain extent, and the victory or defeat depends entirely on the chess strength.

When Lin Tianlang first came to the magic world, he had heard of this magic chess and played it with many people, but it did not arouse his great interest. The reason was that Lin Tianlang, who had an S-level magic talent, had a much stronger mental power than his peers, so it was basically difficult for him to lose as long as he wanted. At that time, the only person who could defeat him was probably Xu Weiwei. Because Xu Weiwei's chess skills were really superb, and although Xu Weiwei's mental power level was not as good as Lin Tianlang's, it was still better than others - it can be seen from the fact that she has now obtained the qualification level of a red-level magician. Without excellent mental power talent, this is simply impossible.

In short, Lin Tianlang had basically not played the game of magic chess since he entered the third grade. Especially as time became more and more urgent, it was even more impossible for Lin Tianlang to spend time on such things. Instead of spending time playing chess, he might as well practice magic control.

Now, Lin Tianlang and Principal Meis are playing chess. Although he hasn't played chess for a long time, he still remembers the rules. However, overall, the chess game is not very optimistic for Lin Tianlang. On the one hand, Lin Tianlang's chess skills are not that good. Although he doesn't know how good Principal Meis is, he should be better than him at the moment.

In addition to the difference in chess skills, there is another point - the red side controlled by Lin Tianlang has a natural defect. At the beginning of the game, the red side controlled by Lin Tianlang had two fewer pawns than the black side controlled by old Principal Meis. Although the pawns themselves are not as powerful as functional pieces such as chariots and horses, this will definitely be disadvantageous in the long run.

And Principal Meis obviously also seized on Lin Tianlang's weakness, pressing him step by step without any humility. Principal Meis seemed to have said just now that if Lin Tianlang wanted to take the divine water rainbow gem, he had to win the game. But now it seems that Lin Tianlang's chance of winning is less than 20%. Most of his chess pieces have been restrained by Principal Meis's chess pieces, and he is restricted everywhere, and his hope of turning the tables is slim.

Obviously, this situation was caused by the two pawns that Lin Tianlang lacked at the beginning. It was because Lin Tianlang was missing two pieces at the beginning that his formation was incomplete and he was easily put into a passive position. Once he was put into a passive position, it would be difficult to regain the initiative. Unless his opponent, Principal Mays, intended to give him two moves and deliberately exposed two flaws. Otherwise, it was really slim for Lin Tianlang to win this game.

"Woo..."

Without saying a word, Lin Tianlang lost another horse chess piece. He frowned slightly, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He looked at his chariot chess piece, and then looked at his bishop chess piece, and he still couldn't make up his mind. Every time Lin Tianlang made a move, he had to think for a long time, while Principal Mays, who was opposite him, seemed to be strolling leisurely and relaxed. Of course, Principal Mays had taken the absolute initiative in the chess game and was beginning to encircle and kill Lin Tianlang's chess pieces one by one, so naturally he was far less stressed than Lin Tianlang.

To be honest, Lin Tianlang was really confused about what Principal Mace was up to. The magic world outside the secret realm must be in dire straits at this moment, but Lin Tianlang was playing chess here. In particular, in this secret realm, the passage of time was accelerated. This meant that every extra minute Lin Tianlang wasted here was equivalent to wasting several hours in the outside world!

In order to protect the Rainbow Divine Water Gem from falling into the hands of evil people, the old principal Meis set up these heavy protections. But now, this is no longer a protection, but an obstacle. If time is delayed a little longer, when Lin Tianlang leaves the secret realm, he will find that the outside world has been completely occupied by the demons. At that time, what is the use of getting the Rainbow Divine Water Gem?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Lin Tianlang became, and the more cold sweat he broke out in. Opposite him, observing his micro-expressions, Principal Mays sighed slightly, said nothing, and just took another step.

Now on the chessboard, Lin Tianlang's chess pieces are almost all trapped, and only a few can move. The oppression of the chess pieces of Principal Mace opposite him is so strong. Gradually, Lin Tianlang's eyes suddenly became a little blurry, and even his consciousness became a little trance. For some reason, the chessboard in front of Lin Tianlang seemed to change and turned into a map of the magic world. And the chess pieces in Lin Tianlang's hand no longer look like chess pieces, but have become warriors in the magic world who bravely fight to resist the invasion. As for the black chess pieces under Principal Mace, they have become the aggressive demons, pressing him little by little, forcing him into a desperate situation.

I...I think I understand what it means.

Suddenly, as if a sudden enlightenment had occurred to him, or as if an ice bucket had been poured over his head, Lin Tianlang seemed to suddenly wake up. His eyes suddenly became bright, and his originally extremely anxious heart suddenly became calm. He seemed to suddenly understand what Principal Mays meant.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Tianlang calmed down his anxious heart and stopped caring about the outcome of the game. He no longer thought about "winning" and just tried his best to fight back and destroy the opponent's chess power. It didn't matter if he and the opponent's chess pieces perished together or even died.

Since Lin Tianlang changed his mindset, the game seemed to go more smoothly. Although Lin Tianlang was still at a disadvantage overall, at least he was no longer being suppressed.

After seeing Lin Tianlang's transformation, Principal Mays's brows also gradually relaxed.

Since the ultimate winning rule of magic chess is to eliminate all the opponent's chess pieces, it was difficult for Lin Tianlang, who was at a natural disadvantage, to win. However, after he figured it out, he managed to turn the tide. Although, in the end, Lin Tianlang still lost on the chessboard - Principal Mays eliminated all of Lin Tianlang's chess pieces with the weak advantage of the last pawn chess piece, and had the last laugh.

"Kid, you lost." Principal Mace raised his head and looked at Lin Tianlang with a smile on his face.

"No, I won, senior." Lin Tianlang also smiled gently and shook his head.

"Oh? You, why do you think so, kid?" Principal Mays asked with a smile.

"Senior, this chess game was unfair from the beginning. I have fewer chess pieces than you from the beginning, which means that unless your chess skills are much worse than mine, it will be very difficult for me to win. So I couldn't win from the beginning, right?" Lin Tianlang said.

"That's right." Principal Mays did not deny it, but admitted it generously.

“That’s enough.” Lin Tianlang still smiled. “For a chess game that I couldn’t win in the first place, all I could do from the very beginning was to try my best, do the best I could, fight without regrets, and then face failure gracefully, right?”

"..."

Hearing Lin Tianlang's words, Principal Mays was silent for a long time. Finally, he smiled with relief: "It seems that you really understand, kid."

"Yes, you are right. You can't win this game of chess from the beginning. So all you can do is to do your best within your ability. And this game of chess is just like your life, isn't it?"

"Life is like a game of chess. Don't regret your moves. Yes, child, when you face your fate, as long as you can do it without regrets, you have already won."
