Chapter 459
Self-created chess Gu
"I wonder what benefits I will get from playing chess with seniors." Long Xuan asked tentatively.
Since he couldn't avoid it anyway, he decided to play this game of chess.
But if this old man wants to fleece himself, how could he not ask for some benefits?
"Haha, what's the benefit? A top-grade chess worm can be considered as repaying you for saving Jiuge's life."
Qi Luoyou said this as he slapped a bug that looked very much like a chess piece in front of Long Xuan.
When Long Xuan saw this strange-looking bug, his eyes lit up. Fearing that Qi Luoyou would go back on his word, he quickly put the bug away.
He didn't expect that his casual remark would lead to such a big move.
Chess worms can be used to refine many chess-type poisonous worms. The best-quality chess worms are the main worms for refining chess poisons, which are extremely rare. I didn't expect Qi Luoyou to be so generous to give them to me.
Now that he had obtained the top-quality chess worm, he was already considering whether or not to use the poison worm to refine a chess poison.
He was really interested in this kind of poisonous insect that could share the fate of geniuses from all sides by playing chess.
The rules of chess in this world are different from those in the previous life. The biggest difference is the size of the chessboard and the number of chess pieces.
The chess rules in this world are more similar to those in the ancient times of the previous life. The chessboard also has only seventeen lines, and a full chessboard has only 289 chess pieces, which is also the number of chess pieces and chess Gu.
The chess rules in the previous life were not only more complete and fairer than those in this world, but the chessboard was also larger, with 19 lines, 361 full chess pieces, 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces.
He was very curious about what would happen if he used the chess rules from his previous life to refine the chess Gu.
At least the number of sub-chess Gu will be far more than the original chess Gu. With more sub-chess Gu, its strength will naturally far exceed the original chess Gu.
If he could use his imagination a little more, he might be able to create another incredible poisonous insect. Long Xuan's interest in this was growing.
"Please come in, senior!"
Long Xuan curled the corners of his mouth and slowly walked to the stone table and sat down.
In fact, he was a rare chess master in his previous life. In that era of advanced Internet, he could compete with chess masters from all over the world at any time. Combining the strengths of hundreds of schools, his chess skills naturally improved rapidly.
This is an advantage that does not exist in this era.
However, when he saw the chessboard carved on the stone table, Long Xuan frowned.
Only then did he realize that the chessboard in this world had seventeen lines. He was used to playing on a board with nineteen lines in his previous life. He would definitely feel uncomfortable if he suddenly changed to a small chessboard.
In this situation, no matter how good his chess skills are, he has no chance of winning.
Qi Luoyou walked over with a smile, pushed the chess jar full of black chess pieces in front of him, and said with a smile: "Since you are young, we won't guess who will go first. You go first."
Long Xuan took a deep breath. The chances of winning this game were not high, and he was mentally prepared to lose.
Of course, even if he could win this game, he would lose on purpose. Without absolute strength, he dared not easily embarrass the Gu King.
Who knows what kind of person Qi Luoyou is. If he doesn't get what he wants from me, he obviously won't give up.
Anyway, winning or losing this game of chess has no impact on him. Even if he loses, one of the chess pieces shares his fate and it won't have any negative impact on him. In this case, how about letting this old man play a game?
After I have made the Nineteen Moves of Chess famous in this world, I will come back to get my revenge on this old man.
Long Xuan made up his mind, took the black chess jar and looked at the chess pieces inside.
As expected, all the chess pieces in the chess jar were poisonous insects that looked exactly like the chess pieces. If he could not vaguely see the calf under each chess piece, he would really have mistaken these poisonous insects for chess pieces.
Half of these chess pieces are luminous, and the light varies, with the brightest one being so bright that it is blinding.
It is not difficult to see that the greater the achievement of a genius, the brighter the chess pieces associated with him.
The smaller the genius, the dimmer the chess Gu associated with it.
And those chess pieces that don't shine at all must be because they haven't found the genius that meets the requirements yet.
When the game is over, one of the dull black chess pieces will begin to glow. After just a few decades, it will become blindingly bright and become the brightest chess piece here.
Long Xuan stopped thinking about it and reached into the chess jar. He grabbed the brightest chess piece and placed it heavily on the lower right corner of the chessboard.
"Well done!"
After Qi Luoyou sat down, he smiled and reached into the white chess jar, picked up the brightest white chess piece, and placed it heavily next to the black chess piece.
The white chess Gu and the black chess Gu were next to each other, and they immediately looked at each other with fierce sparks in their eyes, and their fighting spirit soared to the sky.
"Clap clap clap..."
As chess pieces fell one after another, the sound of falling pieces could be heard from the chessboard from time to time. The two men placed their pieces very quickly. Qi Luoyou obviously did not take this junior seriously and wanted to make a quick decision, so he did not think too long about each move.
The Gu practitioners in this world only spend their time on cultivation, so they would not waste time studying chess. Therefore, most Gu practitioners have very poor chess skills.
In addition, Long Xuan was so young that Qi Luoyou naturally didn't think that his chess skills were very high, so he played more casually. However, as he played, he found something wrong. He didn't know when he started to frown slightly, and his chess moves became slower and slower.
He discovered that this boy not only knew how to play chess, but also had a very high level of chess skills, and his chess moves had never appeared in this world. Faced with all kinds of weird moves he had never seen before, he felt a lot of pressure for a while, and had to concentrate all his attention, frowning, and finally going all out.
At this moment he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
At some point, a crowd began to gather around the two of them.
At the city gate, where people gather, seeing Qi Luoyou, the chess master, playing chess with others, naturally attracted countless people to watch.
Soon, the two of them were surrounded tightly.
"What a weird way of playing chess. This is the first time I've seen such a tricky and ruthless way of playing chess. I don't know who his teacher is."
"Who on earth is this guy? He can actually play chess with Luo You to this level. It's rare to see him."
"Haha! It seems that Qi Luoyou has met his match. It's the first time I've seen someone being forced into this state by a junior!"
The crowd of onlookers began to whisper.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
A long black dragon appeared above Long Xuan, and a white tiger appeared above Qi Luoyou. The dragon and the tiger started a fierce fight in the air.
On the chessboard, Long Xuan's chess pieces look like dragons, and Qi Luoyou's chess pieces look like tigers. The situation on the chessboard is very similar to a battle between a dragon and a tiger in the air.
When Qi Luoyou had one piece eaten, the white tiger in the air suddenly had one of its arms swallowed by the black dragon. When Long Xuan had one piece eaten, the black dragon in the air also had one of its horns knocked off by the white tiger.
The battle between the dragon and the tiger was earth-shattering.
The crowd was terrified and moved away.
"It's actually intention! The two of them actually had intention while playing chess! Only when the chess playing level reaches a certain level and the chess game is exciting to a certain degree, it is possible for intention to occur. The probability of intention occurring is extremely low, even I have not seen it often."
"I didn't expect that this chess game could give rise to a spirit. A spirit is something you can only encounter but not seek for. It is extremely rare, but it is the best material for refining chess-type Gu worms."
"What a wonderful chess game. Chess games that can generate business are all famous games throughout the ages. Quickly write this game down."
The appearance of Yi caused the crowd to exclaim in surprise and talk to each other excitedly.
On the chessboard, the black chess pieces were still fighting fiercely with the white chess pieces. Long Xuan was fully focused, his eyes fixed on the chess pieces on the board, not disturbed by the movements from the outside world at all.
After an unknown amount of time, he sighed softly.
Although Qi Luoyou was not familiar with his own moves and suffered some losses in the early stage, he later relied on his unfathomable chess level to turn the situation around bit by bit and slowly turned defeat into victory.
At this point, a large area of black chess pieces on the board has been eaten, and most of the territory has been firmly occupied by white chess pieces. This situation is no longer reversible.
Even the black dragon in the sky was torn into two halves by the huge white tiger and was eaten away bit by bit. People who didn't understand chess could tell who would win and who would lose just by looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Long Xuan threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess pot and sighed in his heart.
After all, he was not familiar with the chessboard and suffered a great loss. Otherwise, even if he had lost to Qi Luoyou, he would not have lost so badly.
Long Xuan was not depressed by losing a game of chess. This loss was expected and he never planned to win. If he let Qi Luoyou play on the unfamiliar chessboard with 19 moves, he would probably be the loser.
"Haha! Accepted! Accepted!"
Qi Luoyou smiled and bowed to Long Xuan, with a solemn look that was hard to conceal flashing in his eyes.
This guy's chess level is not the best among the opponents he has met, but his moves are unheard of. Playing chess with this guy is definitely the most tiring, and one careless mistake may result in a complete loss of the whole game.
As Qi Luoyou finished speaking, the last chess piece dropped by Long Xuan suddenly shone brightly, so bright that it was blinding.
Obviously, the fate of this chess piece is closely linked to Long Xuan. The stronger Long Xuan becomes in the future, the stronger this chess piece will be.
Seeing the brightness of this chess piece, Qi Luoyou was surprised. This chess piece was so bright in its initial state. How terrible will the future of this piece be? This time he really caught a big fish.
"Senior! I lost this round. I will get back at you next time. Goodbye!"
Long Xuan bowed to Qi Luoyou and immediately walked towards the city without any intention of talking further.
"My dear friend, I am at the Holy Gu Academy. You can come and spar with me anytime."
Qi Luoyou smiled and waved to Long Xuan's back, finally took back the chessboard, and left with Zhu Jiuge who was still in a coma.
The crowd of onlookers who hadn't seen enough shook their heads in disappointment and finally dispersed...
After entering the city, Long Xuan did not look for the location of the Holy Gu Academy. Instead, he immediately found an inn and couldn't wait to start using his imagination about chess Gu.
Since he wanted to refine the chess Gu, he certainly didn't plan to refine the original chess Gu. He planned to use the Go rules of his previous life to create a more terrifying chess Gu.
Long Xuan sat at the table, took out a pen and paper, and began to think about the outline of the new version of Chess Gu. (End of this chapter)
