Chapter 394 The Old Man with Mixed Hair
Lin Shen took a look at the stall owner who had set up the remaining game. He was still a celestial being, but he was a little old. His messy hair was a little oily and basically grayed out. Even many of the feathers on his wings had turned gray.
This was a sign that the celestial being was old. The feathers of young celestial beings were all snow-white, and they would only turn gray when they were old.
This celestial being was a little old, but he should not be very old. He was not completely gray yet. The gray and white feathers on his wings were mixed together, and he looked like a mixed-hair crane.
The weather on Zenith Star was quite hot, probably more than 40 degrees. Such a temperature was naturally nothing for a cultivator, but it would also feel a little stuffy.
In such hot weather, this mixed-hair old celestial being was actually wearing a thick cotton coat. The sleeves of the cotton coat were smeared with oil by him, and he didn't even know to wash it.
Although the old blind man was half blind and could hardly see clearly, he still cleaned it up quite cleanly.
This old man with mixed hair looked like a cowardly and unrefined person. His hair was almost down to his shoulders and tangled in many places. He hadn't washed it for a long time.
"How do you play this game?" Lin Shen squatted down and looked at the man and asked.
"Ten coins to play a round, and the one you win is yours." The old man with mixed hair pointed to an obsidian egg next to him and said.
"What kind of egg is this?" Lin Shen looked at it and couldn't tell what grade it was, but it was at least crystal-based.
"The upgraded mutant Yu Linglong is worth no less than 10 million." The old man with mixed hair put his hands in his sleeves and wiped his nose with his sleeves and said.
"Young man, don't listen to his nonsense. What is the upgraded mutation? It's just a crystal-based black shell insect egg." The stall owner next to him said with a sneer.
The reason why he reminded Lin Shen was not because of kindness, but because he couldn't help being curious before, and played many rounds, and lost a lot of money to the old man with mixed hair, and he was a little angry.
Of course, the most important thing is that this old man with bad hair is not an old man who sells food on the street. He just came here to sell food recently and is not familiar with the people in the old stalls.
"It's okay. I just spend money for fun. It doesn't matter what the prize is." Lin Shen smiled at the stall owner next to him, and then asked the old man with bad hair: "Uncle, how do you play this?"
"It's very simple. The red and black sides fight. The horse moves in the day, the elephant moves in the field, the car moves in the straight road, and the cannon goes over the mountain..." The old man with bad hair took the chess pieces one by one and told Lin Shen how to play while gesturing.
Of course Lin Shen knew how to play. Not only did he know how to play, he also knew that the endgame set by the old man with bad hair was called "burning the camps".
Back then, the old blind man used this endgame to make a lot of money from him.
After making sure that Lin Shen already knew how to play, the old man played the endgame of Burning Camps again and said to Lin Shen with a smile: "Ten Tianbi to play a round, red chess goes first, you can choose red or black as you like, if you win, the Jade Linglong Egg belongs to you, if you lose or the game is a draw, you lose, no matter you win or lose, the Tianbi will not be refunded."
After hearing what he said, Lin Shen knew that the old man was just so-so, maybe he was a half-baked person, who got some chess endgame records from somewhere and came out to set up a stall to make money.
The endgame of Burning Camps was once considered a draw, but after many people studied it, they found that it was not a draw.
This endgame looks like it can win quickly if the red chess goes first.
So the old blind man likes to use the game of Burning Camps to deceive those who have not studied the endgame. Many people who know how to play chess will be fooled by this game, and it is easy to choose the red chess that seems to have a great advantage and can go first.
Red chess looks like it can easily win, and it seems that it can win in a few moves, but as long as you know the routine of this endgame, there is a way to win with black.
Zamao Laotianren let Lin Shen choose to play red or black at will, which means that he didn't know that black would win in the end of Huoshao Lianying.
It is estimated that the chess record he got was the earlier one, and he thought that the game would end in a draw, so no matter how he played, he would win.

"Hehe, the tuition I paid when I was a child is finally going to pay back now." Lin Shen pretended to look at it for a long time, as if he was studying this and that, and finally took out ten days of coins and gave them to Zamao Laotianren.
"Young man, do you choose to play red or black?" Zamao Laotianren took the money and smiled immediately. He looked at Lin Shen as if he was looking at a relative.
"I'll play black." Lin Shen said.
"How can I play black? Black is at a huge disadvantage. You have to play red to have a chance to win." The stall owner next to him kindly reminded.
"I've already chosen, let's play one first." Lin Shen looked at the stall owner and smiled.
Judging from the stall owner's appearance, he probably lost a lot of money in this game, otherwise he wouldn't know that he had to play red to have an advantage.
"Young man, you are generous." Zamao Laotianren smiled and turned the chessboard, transferred the black chess to Lin Shen's side, and said slowly: "Then I'll leave first."
"Uncle, please." Lin Shen replied.
Zamao Laotianren was calm and composed, and he started with the chariot from three to four. Lin Shen smiled in his heart, this should be a sure thing.
Lin Shen played according to the routine, and Zamao Laotianren was more powerful than he thought.
The black chess seemed decadent, but in fact it was a trap at every step, always luring the red chess into the trap, but Zamao Laotianren was not fooled.
Lin Shen understood immediately, knowing that this old man with bad hair had some skills, but he didn't know the correct solution to this endgame, and must have read the old score.
At the beginning, the old man with bad hair looked relaxed and contented, but as the game progressed, the advantage of the red chess in the early stage was gone in a moment.
The old man with bad hair gradually became serious, from picking up the chess pieces and placing them casually at the beginning to considering each move for a long time later.
"It can be played like this..." The stall owner next to him also came over, and was shocked, attracting many people nearby to come and watch.
It's a pity that there are very few people on this Zenith Star who know what chess is, and they can't understand the rules at all. Soon most people lost interest and dispersed.
The old man with bad hair has become a sitting posture, and sweat has begun to appear on his forehead.
"How can this happen... It shouldn't be..." The sweat on the old man's forehead is getting more and more.
Lin Shen was already somewhat impressed by this old man. He was able to play with him to this extent without knowing the correct solution. His chess skills were indeed extraordinary, much stronger than Lin Shen.
Before the game was over, the old man suddenly threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and stared at Lin Shen.
"What, do you want to cheat?" He admired him, but if he cheated, Lin Shen would not agree.
"You win, I admit defeat." The old man picked up the black egg next to him and threw it to Lin Shen, squinting his eyes and asked, "Young man, what's your name?"
"A Tian." Lin Shen answered casually.
"A Tian, I remember you, we will play again another day." The old man packed up and left.
"Don't go, you can't afford to lose, you run away after losing a game? Do you have any manners!" The stall owner next to him took advantage of the situation and shouted at the back of the old man with gloating.
