"Lao Wen, this is a gamble for your life. You should be careful, you are carrying one corpse and three lives." Xiao Huan suddenly felt a little uneasy after hearing the gossip of the people around him.
"Don't worry, I know my own fate well." Wen Rensheng said with confidence.
"I seem to be a little less confident." Xiao Huan looked around, as if looking for a way to escape.
At this time, the owner of Tianhe Tower, an old man wearing a green robe, came to greet him from above.
"Are you two chess masters who have made an appointment to challenge the thirty-third floor?" the old man asked with his hands raised.
"How did you know it was us?" Xiao Huan asked curiously.
"Oh, the bearing of the two of you is extraordinary at first glance." The old man complimented. Of course, he would not say that he had already found out about Wen Rensheng and their appearance and behavior as early as after receiving the post for booking the challenge.
"If you are discerning, we are from outside the sky." Xiao Huan said proudly.
"Well, many outsiders have come here in recent years, but none of them have the magnanimity of the two of you." The old man complimented again.
Wen Rensheng nodded, and then, amid the old man's flattery, he reached the top floor.
The top floor, about a hundred meters high, is a wide wooden platform. On the floor, nineteen horizontal and nineteen columns are carved, just like a large chessboard.
What is frightening is that there are no fences around this big chessboard, and it is completely empty!
Standing on it, the high-altitude wind blows, making people shake.
"Hey, why is there no fence..." Xiao Huan said in surprise. Of course she is not afraid of heights. "What if the chess pieces fall?"
"If it falls, it will fall." The old man smiled.
Behind that seemingly loyal face, there was undisguised cruelty.
"I don't understand." Xiao Huan rolled his eyes.
"Well, little girl, your life is at stake in these thirty-three heavens, and the lives of the chess pieces on both sides are also at stake. The white or black stones that are lifted up will fall from the high platform." A waiter next to him explained.
"Then who else is willing to be a chess piece?" Xiao Huan wondered.
"There are many people who are willing, and they have traveled five miles, and they are all young and middle-aged people." The waiter continued.
He pointed to the floors downstairs. There were already many people waiting, maybe thousands of people?
“Are they stupid?…
"They are not stupid. If they win, they can ascend to heaven. If they lose, they will die." The waiter said disdainfully.
"It is indeed an evil feudal society." Xiao Huan couldn't help but say.
The old man and the waiter looked at each other. They understood this sentence. After all, it was not the first person to say this.
"Why is it so evil? They all volunteered. Our ancestors didn't work hard or play chess well. They just wanted to live a comfortable life and live day by day. Now that they are in their generation, they want to stand up and change their destiny, but they are unwilling to endure hardship.
They want to take a gamble. This is their own fault. They cannot blame society." The old man laughed sarcastically.
"Okay, Xiaohuan, stop talking to them and get ready to start." Wen Rensheng waved his hand and said.
"Oh." Xiao Huan bowed out honestly.
"Okay, sir, please come to the left side of the chess game. The chess pieces are ready." The old man extended his hand and asked.
Wen Rensheng nodded, then walked forward and stood on the left side of the chessboard. Next to him was the cold sky, the cold wind was blowing, and he had nothing to rely on.
"Player, do you know that there will be no regrets in this game?"
When Wenren stood on it, a voice sounded from the sky.
As the sound sounded, all kinds of noises in Tianhe Tower suddenly subsided and there was silence.
"Known, no regrets."
Wen Rensheng nodded.
Many players on Earth looked up, trying hard to see Wen Rensheng in the sky, but unfortunately they couldn't even see the hem of his clothes.
However, some smart people have long since bought spots on the rooftops of several surrounding buildings, where they can see a few things.
"Ten rounds of battles, the first is divided."
The meaning is very simple. In the next ten games, take turns holding black.
"The chess game has begun, please make your moves."
…………
"Seventeen horizontally, seventeen vertically." Wen Rensheng dropped the first son.
This world has the lower left corner as the starting point on the chess map, and when placed on the real chessboard, the southwest corner is the horizontal and vertical starting point.
A man turned black all over and stepped onto the chessboard. The wind blew from high altitude, but he did not move at all.
"Three horizontally, sixteen vertically."
Another person turned white and also stepped onto the chessboard.
Neither side played slowly, and the start was not intense.
Ten minutes later, the two sides had reached the fourteenth move.
At this time, the bystanders had woken up from the serious atmosphere and started talking again.
"This opening seems to be quite unusual. Sansan, Xing, Tianyuan starts. This is a challenge to the 33rd level Heavenly Chess players!" someone exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's not like a chess piece that can be played by the lower hand. Instead, it's about putting yourself on the upper hand's side."
"He should be a player, right? The kind that doesn't matter if he dies?" Another Earth player asked the person next to him.
"That's right. Ordinary people shouldn't have the courage."
"I seem to remember that if a player dies in this kind of chess game, resurrecting requires a lot of points, which most people can't afford anyway. Points cannot be bought and sold, and can only be earned by individuals. Even players don't dare to do it casually.
Challenge this highest level of chess."
With everyone watching, the chess game entered the middle game and reached an intense point.
Wen Rensheng is conducting a entanglement attack and is preparing to slay the dragon.
Of course, you may not be able to kill them, but you can use this method to gain enough advantages.
His greatest advantage is that he has mastered the "invincible" strategy and has enough computing power and chess skills to implement it.
In other words, he can guarantee that he will not lose the first five games, and then the remaining five games will depend on a bit of luck.
Neither side will make mistakes, and that will lead to a draw.
In this case, he can guarantee victory.
…………
When Wen Rensheng surrounded a small chess piece, he was about to make a move, blocking the opponent's last breath, and attacking again...
Suddenly, someone shouted from below
"Look, someone is going to die!"
"how do you know?"
"It's been written in the rules a long time ago."
"Do you think he will do it?"
"Probably not, that's five lives after all."
However, Wen Rensheng did not hesitate to play the chess piece, and in an instant, the five white pieces fell from the tall building.
"ban!"
Five shots rang out in a row, blood splattered everywhere, and everyone felt terrified.
If you get on the chessboard, you will have your destiny in life and death, and wealth will be in the sky.
In this world, we are just like chess pieces, being eaten and surrounded by others. If we are alone and helpless, we will become abandoned pieces at any time.
Only by becoming one of the big dragons and joining the others can you have a higher probability of survival and not be given up at will.
The way of Go reflects life and contains infinite flavor. This is also the reason why it has endured despite being a niche game.
"Good measure!" The old man from Tianhe Tower nodded, looking more optimistic about Wen Rensheng.
Those who are soft-hearted cannot become chess players.
If you don't have the heart to kill when you want to kill and abandon when you want to, you will definitely lose miserably and not even a single penny will be left.
The first game of chess ended with Wen Rensheng winning.
