229. Beyond the chessboard
On this day, the eighth game was about to begin. The Chinese chess players got up early and began to study the first three games of their opponent Xiao Linjue, hoping to see if they could find the loopholes of Xiao Linjue.
Su Butong took a look at the toy factory that was built. Although the factory building here is simple, the equipment lines have been installed. The recruiters are also arriving one after another. They are recruited from Guizhou Province near Shenzhen City.
Since the factory was first built, the rate of defective toys produced was extremely high. Su Butong entrusted Zhao Hongchen to talk to the Shenzhen Municipal Government to see if a tax rate discount could be given to offset part of the cost losses.
The Shenzhen Municipal Government happily provided preferential policies, saying that it wanted land for land, and policies for policies. It also allowed Su Butong to see the pragmatic work style of Chinese people in this era.
By the time Subutong returned to the sea world, the game had already begun.
Cao Dayuan is very nervous now. Unlike Shao Zhenzhong, he is more thoughtful and pays more attention to victory and defeat. Xiao Linjue, on the other hand, has a relaxed expression. He has exceeded the task and now every extra round he wins is his own.
A real achievement. There are often situations like this in the game. The demeanor of the two players before the game may have already determined the outcome of the game.
Su Butong did not enter the game room. Instead, after Zai boarded the ship, he was led to a secret VIP room by the general manager dressed as the captain. He greeted him as a disciple of Hongmen, Chundian. "Master Thirteen, there is someone you want to see.
you."
"Who?" Su Butong didn't expect who would see him at this time.
"It's me." Bai Moxuan appeared in front of Su Butong dressed in a suit.
"Why are you here?" Su Butong frowned. He looked around Bai Moxuan, and the man with the gun did not appear again.
"I'm here to settle a score with you." Bai Moxuan threw a cigar to Su Butong and snorted coldly.
"What kind of account is this?" Su Butong took the cigar and looked at it in his hand, but did not smoke it.
"A confused account." Bai Moxuan gently lit a cigar next to the ashtray, and then said: "Because of you, I lost two gambling stalls. This money must be accounted for on you."
"It's a joke. One of them is because someone died, and the other is because the police found you. What does it have to do with me? I don't accept this account." Su Butong said.
"Well, you can't let Lu Tian pay the debt, right? He owes me millions." Bai Moxuan continued.
"Show me the bill if you can. Otherwise, how would I know if what you said is true?" Subbutong said.
"You and I know it well, so don't act like a child, right? Can you help him escape for a while or for the rest of his life?" Bai Moxuan said.
"Then what do you want?" Su Butong asked.
"Let's have a bet. If you win, the previous account will be wiped off. How about that?" Bai Moxuan said.
"Why should I bet with you?" Su Butong asked.
"Look, this is the problem. If I hand over the evidence of Lu Tian's gambling debt to the police, do you think they will arrest Lu Tian?" Bai Moxuan looked confident.
Su Butong found that he seemed to have no reason to refuse: "Then what if I lose?"
"It's simple, you pay him back, but to make the game more interesting, if you lose, you also have to pay for the money I lost in two gambling positions."
"Why should I pay more to make you feel interesting?" Su Butong now has a big business, but he has become more stingy than before.
"If you win, how about I give you all the evidence against Lu Tian that I have?"
"It seems I have no other choice."
"certainly."
"Then the question is, what are we betting on?" Subutong put the cigar aside and lit a cigarette himself.
"Bet on who will win the eighth game of chess today, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way here to find you." Bai Moxuan was obviously very confident after receiving guidance from an expert.
"What kind of bet is this? You take one side, and I take another side?" Su Butong thought this was quite novel.
"In addition to this decision of winning or losing, we will play three more games using the special cards you invented. The person who wins the first game has the right to choose the outcome of the eighth game of Go first."
For some reason, Subudong suddenly remembered Geralt's magical voice: "Want to play a game of Gwent?"
"How does this count as winning or losing?" Su Butong asked.
"If you win, I will naturally have a reward."
"What if I lose?"
"If you lose, you need to fulfill one of my requirements. This request will not be too excessive."
"Come on." Although Su Butong lacked interest, there was an element of gambling in people's bones.
In order to be fair, the two people opened 10 packs of new cards and each selected 30 cards from them as a deck.
From Subutong's 10-card pack, he drew a rare card: The Temptation of the Mephilas Star.
This card can return monsters/Ultraman cards that have been played by our side. The rarity of this card is that it is an all-monster equipment effect card that is common to all attribute monsters.
After Su Butong and Bai Moxuan formed a card, they each drew 10 cards and put them in their hands.
Subutong was not very lucky in the first draw. There was a 1/3 chance that he would not draw the Mephilas Star Temptation. So in the card changing stage, Subutong chose three of the weaker cards and the cards in the card library.
Replacement was made.
The card that was played again finally got the only rare card.
In the first round, Subudon played a monster card, the uranium-eating monster Gabra, with an attack power of 4. The special effect is that when this monster is on the field, it can reduce Ultraman's initial attack power by 2.
Bai Moxuan started normally and produced a first-generation Ultraman with an attack power of 6. Due to the existence of the special effect of the uranium-eating monster Gabra, Ultraman's attack was reduced by 2.
In the second round, Subutong played a Uranium Energy Reactor. The special effect is: the attack power of the light attribute monster equipped with this card +2. Subutong increased the monster's attack power to 6.
The attack power on the field is expressed as Su Butong 6: Bai Moxuan 4. The card difference is 8:9.
Bai Moxuan obviously studied cards and equipped an Ultraman skill card: Specium Ray. When this card is equipped, if there is a monster on the opponent's battlefield, the opponent's monster's attack power will be reduced by 3.
The attack power on the field is expressed as Su Butong 3 vs. Bai Moxuan 4. The card difference is 8:8
Su Butong calculated that Bai Moxuan still had about 8 cards in his hand. His ideal situation was to reduce the opponent's hand to about 6 cards.
So I deliberately increased the weight of the monster card and placed a Baltan with an attack power of 3. The effect is: after entering the graveyard this round, it will be reborn on the monster field in the next round. The card difference is 7:8.
Bai Moxuan's deck strategy is obviously based on Ultraman, so he equips the skill card again: "Tracking Eight-point Light Wheel". When Ultraman equips this card, he can destroy one opponent's opponent with an attack power of no more than 3.
monster. The card difference is 7:7.
So Bai Moxuan chose the Baltan star and put the Baltan star in the cemetery.
Subudong once again chooses a monster card, the legendary monster Flame Gorzan, with an attack power of 9. The legendary monster card ignores all effects of the enemy and one's own. The current card difference is 6:7.
Bai Moxuan smiled slightly and said, "I give up." He was also calculating the cards in Su Butong's hand.
The current attack power on the field is 11 to 4, with Su Butong leading by a large margin. Bai Moxuan decided to give up on this sentence. Su Butong had already suppressed the legendary monster card. Bai Moxuan did not want to get too entangled with Su Butong in this game.
Subudon put down the Temptation of the Mephilas Star and counterattacked the uranium-eating monster Gabra and the monster equipment card. The current card difference returned to 7:7, and Subudon would have one more card on the field in the next round.
Win advantage and the advantage of the Baltans on the field.
Chapter completed!
