Chapter 4297 Chapter 4299 [Bet on a game]
After eating, the two set up a chess game, black first and white first, and started fighting.
Xiang Nan had previously inherited Ji Xiaolan's skills in playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Later, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he became a lifelong friend of Huang Yaoshi and gained a lot of his inheritance.
Then in the world of "Dragon and the Eight Parts", he learned chess, calligraphy, painting, flower gardening, civil engineering and other skills from Wu Yazi and Hangu Bayou. Later, he inherited the talents of Li Xunhuan and Gu Xichao... and became very proficient in chess skills.
In addition, his IQ has reached the limit of ordinary people, which makes it easier for him to plan and improve his chess skills.
What's even more frightening is that he secretly put on photon computer glasses. The photon computer can perform 10,000 calculations per second, far exceeding today's supercomputers.
In 2020, AI has already surpassed all chess players. By 2078, AI's capabilities have naturally become stronger and have reached an unimaginable level.
Therefore, Xiang Nan now combines the three into one, and torturing Chai Shao is just like playing.
Chai Shaoze thought that Xiang Nan was born in a poor family and didn't even know what Go was. He had never read the famous chess records, "Qi Jing", "Chess Disease Methods", "Chess Criticism Summary", let alone "Go". "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Tai Gong's Art of War", "Seven Books of Martial Arts"...
Therefore, in terms of chess skills and strategy, he should be far inferior to himself, so he was ready to torture Xiang Nan and grow his prestige.
When the game just started, he saw Xiang Nan directly placing the chess pieces in the middle position, completely ignorant of the so-called "gold horn, silver edge, grass belly" in Go. Chai Shao couldn't help but believe more and more that he was a stick.
…
Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi were watching the chess game from the sidelines, and they couldn't help but frown when they saw that Xiang Nan actually placed the chess piece in the center as soon as it started.
Because the central position is connected in all directions, it is difficult to be surrounded. Therefore, when masters play chess, they first grab the four corners, then the four sides, and finally move to the center.
Xiang Nan placed the chess piece in the center from the beginning, which shows that he doesn't know how to play chess at all, and he doesn't even know the most basic principles of Go.
"Master Chai, why don't you stop playing chess." Seeing this, Li Xiuning persuaded, "The weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk."
"Yeah, playing chess is boring. How about we go out for a walk. I've been in Yangzhou for several days and I haven't had a good time yet." Song Yuzhi also smiled.
"It's okay if he doesn't win, as long as he is willing to admit defeat." Chai Shao pointed at Xiang Nan and said.
"Master Chai seems to be sure that he will beat me." Seeing this, Xiang Nan smiled and said, "In this case, let's make a bet."
"Bet? What are you betting on? What do you have?" Chai Shao smiled disdainfully.
Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling were completely impoverished, and even the clothes they wore were gifts from Li Xiuning. How could they gamble with him?
"If I lose, this golden silk armor that contains the supreme secret book "The Secret of Immortality" will be lost to Mr. Chai." Xiang Nan took out the golden silk armor from his arms, "If Mr. Chai loses, How about just giving me one hundred thousand taels of silver?”
"Okay, it's settled." Chai Shao nodded immediately.
He had also heard of the name "Secret of Immortality", and it was worth more than a mere hundred thousand taels. What's more, he is sure to win this chess game. Even if he bets 10 million taels of silver, he is not afraid at all.
…
The chess game continues.
But the next chess game was very strange, with Xiang Nan and Chai Shao almost each playing their own cards.
Chai Shao mainly attacks the four corners and follows the chess principle of "golden horns, silver edges and grass belly"; but Xiang Nan uses a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west. The chess pieces are everywhere, which is completely incomprehensible.
Frankly speaking, although Chai Shao had always been kind to her and was her loyal licking dog, she had no feelings for him at all. Xiang Nan, on the other hand, although they had only known each other for a few days, her conversation, style, and talent made her fall in love with him.
In her opinion, although this young man came from a humble background, he had unlimited potential. It's like a hidden dragon that's ready to go. If it doesn't fly, it will soar into the sky.
Much stronger than Chai Shao who only relied on family power.
So now that I see him at a disadvantage, I can't help but feel worried for him.
"What happened? Do you know how to do it?" Song Yuzhi, a straight-tempered person, asked directly.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan smiled at her, and then continued to make moves.
Song Yuzhi was stunned by his smile.
…
After a while, as the number of chess pieces on the chessboard increased, everyone was suddenly surprised to find that the situation on the chessboard seemed to have reversed.
Xiang Nan's seemingly haphazardly placed chess pieces were actually placed at very critical positions, each one blocking Chai Shao's chess path.
As the saying goes, every chess piece of Xiang Nan was placed on Chai Shao's seven inches, making him unable to advance or retreat, and he was in a dilemma.
In comparison, Xiang Nan's chess moves became smoother and smoother without any hindrance.
"..." Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi were both surprised.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan could actually make a comeback. No, to be precise, he had already won. It's just that they didn't realize it at the beginning.
"How is it possible? How could he predict that Chai Shao would place the chess piece in this position after a hundred moves and therefore seize the position in advance? Could it be that he could calculate the chess path after a hundred moves?" Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi both guessed in surprise. .
Chess is all about calculation, which means predicting your opponent's moves and making plans in advance.
Skilled chess players can often calculate a dozen moves in advance, so they can plan their moves calmly and let their opponents slowly enter their game. But Xiang Nan was able to calculate a hundred steps in advance. It was incredible that he was so shrewd and strategic.
As nobles, Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi naturally knew how to play chess and calculate chess, but they could only count twenty or thirty moves.
Twenty or thirty steps, compared to a hundred steps, seems to be only four or five times different. But in fact the difficulty increases exponentially.
Therefore, Xiang Nan's chess ability is dozens or even hundreds of times that of theirs, which is simply incalculable, unfathomable, and terrifying.
…
Chai Shao also played harder and harder and slower. He felt that there were many dangers on the chessboard and murderous intent. He was paralyzed, powerless, sweating profusely, and had a headache.
Looking at the chess pieces in front of me, they are no longer black and white chess pieces, but branches and competitors.
I saw that my own store was being besieged and eaten by competitors, causing business to shrink, customers to lose, revenue to drop sharply, unable to make ends meet, one after another to close down, and employees to be separated...
The Chai family, which was once the richest in the world, was burdened with huge debts and lost everything. His father died of grief and anger, and his mother and sisters were sold into slavery and even into brothels and became prostitutes.
The dignified eldest son of the Chai family was also forced to live on the streets, begging for a living, being humiliated and miserable.
"I, Chai Shao, have actually fallen to this level. Life is worse than death. How can I survive in this world~" Suddenly, he sighed and slapped his forehead with a palm.
Although he is not a supreme master, this palm has the power of a thousand pounds. If he is hit by one, he will definitely die.
