Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

"Fatty, I just..."

Old Hu was very angry at this time, but before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a mechanism being activated again!

“Kachakakachakakachaka!”

Suddenly, a small square pit appeared on the stone platform, next to the coffin.

Then a chessboard appeared and slowly rose up.

At this time, no one was interested in the fat man's previous recklessness. Everyone looked at the chessboard worker who was promoted curiously.

Chapter 118: People who can play chess

The fat man couldn't help laughing as he looked at the rising chessboard.

This was a complete mistake. I hit the wrong person!

Hey!

You can’t blame me now, right? I did activate the next step!

"Master Zhou, why is there an extra chessboard?"

After the fat man put away the gold brick, he whispered to Zhou Xun.

Obviously he is afraid that people will blame him again, so he should keep a low profile!

Zhou Xun said: "After a thousand years, they want to learn from us, the newcomers! Let's play a game of chess."

The fat man asked in confusion: "Just play chess, why does he want to lock us up?"

"Then who let us in? See? There is only one chess piece, which means we only have one chance to make one move. It seems that the tomb owner doesn't want to kill us right away. He wants to play a 'four, two, three' game with us!"

Old Hu said as he looked at a chess piece on the chessboard.

"Then let's go!"

Fatty doesn't care.

Then he looked at everyone and asked, "Is there anyone who knows how to play Gobang? Next one!"

Everyone was speechless.

Zhou Xun smiled. It turned out that this fat guy couldn’t even play Gobang!

Big Gold Teeth said contemptuously: "Hey, Fatty, do you know how to count? Look, there are so many pieces in this row. This is not Gobang, this is Go."

"Oh!"

The fat man then looked at everyone and asked, "Um, is there anyone who can play Go? Next one!"

The fat man thought, Go is an advanced game, and people without some education really can't play it.

The most cultured people here are probably Shirley Yang and Zhou Xun.

Shirley Young is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a graduate student in archaeology.

Zhou Xun graduated from Kyoto University with a degree in archaeology, which is the top university in the country!

In order of educational level, the fat man turned his gaze to Shirley Yang.

Asked Shirley Yang: "Shirley Yang, are you okay?"

Shirley Yang blinked, looked at Zhou Xun again, and said awkwardly: "I am a second-level chess player!"

After hearing this, Fatty Lao Hu and Big Gold Teeth immediately laughed.

"well!"

Just hearing this name sounds awesome!

“But I don’t know how to play Go!”

Shirley Yang looked at the people who misunderstood and quickly said another sentence.

"Hi!"

It's so lively.

Everyone was disappointed.

The fat man then turned his gaze to Zhou Xun and asked, "Old Zhou, Master Zhou, you, you can do it, right?"

Shirley Yang and Old Hu with Big Gold Teeth also looked at Zhou Xun.

In their minds, Zhou Xun is omnipotent and knows everything about astronomy and geography.

Zhou Xun was embarrassed for a moment. He really doesn't know how to do this...

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhou Xun stepped onto the stage and said calmly, "I know Gobang!"

......

Everyone was speechless for a moment. How could you still speak in that tone? How could you still be so proud?

Then several people started to stare at each other.

When Lao Hu saw that no one knew how to play, he rolled up his sleeves and volunteered, "It seems that no one knows how to play, so I'll do it. It doesn't matter. This should be no different from flying chess!"

As he said that, he stepped forward and prepared to start.

Fatty and Big Gold Teeth were very scared after hearing this.

Da Jin Ya quickly grabbed Lao Hu's hand which was reaching for the chessboard.

The fat man quickly spoke up to stop him, "Hey, hey, hey, I think the difference is quite big."

Big Gold Teeth said in a panicked tone: "Not small!"

"Ah, that, just now, who discovered that this was Go?"

The fat man asked from left to right.

Big Gold Teeth raised his hand and said, "Me!"

"Okay, Mr. Jin, you can leave now!"

The fat man looked around and felt that only Big Gold Teeth was somewhat reliable in this regard, so he began to urge him.

"No, I, my grandfather only taught me a little when I was a child, but with my limited knowledge, I can't..."

Big Gold Teeth shook his head and began to refuse.

Before Big Gold Teeth finished speaking, the fat man interrupted him and said, "Don't worry about your skills. You are the only one who can play Go here. If you don't play, are you going to let the one who plays chess, the one who plays Gobang, or the one who plays flying chess?"

The fat man pointed at Shirley Yang, Zhou Xun and Lao Hu one by one.

After hearing this, Da Jin Ya immediately felt that it made a lot of sense!

Zhou Xun said: "Old Jin, take a look at the situation on the chessboard first!"

Big Gold Teeth thinks this is reliable... 0

He walked up to the chessboard and looked at it carefully.

"Uh, oh, weird, weird, really weird!"

Big Gold Teeth looked at the situation on the chessboard in disbelief.

The fat man almost cried after hearing this: "Mr. Jin, it's already this late. Can you please stop rhyming and just tell me what you want to say?"

"What's so strange?"

Shirley Yang stepped forward and asked.

"Although this endgame may have been very ingenious back then, after thousands of years of research, there are chess manuals that have already solved this endgame."

"Well, as long as we place this black piece in this position and eat up this patch of white pieces, then black will basically win."

Big Gold Teeth pointed at the chessboard and said.

Although Da Jin Ya is just a beginner in Go, he has read quite a few game manuals and knows a lot of theoretical knowledge.

The fat man laughed and said, "Oh! After going through so much trouble, it's not that difficult. It seems that social progress is a good thing!"

"This is not right!" Shirley Yang said suddenly.

"Um, what do you think, Miss Yang?"

Big Gold Teeth was stunned for a moment and asked.

Shirley Yang explained: "I'm not doubting your judgment, I just think this matter..."

"2.8 is too easy!" Lao Hu continued.

"Ok!"

Shirley Yang nodded.

"Simple?"

The fat man thought, isn’t simplicity good?

Why do they all seem to be suffering from paranoid delusions?

Shirley Yang looked at everyone and asked, "Have you ever heard the story of Jia Xuan and Emperor Taizong of Song?"

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "I know. Jia Xuan was a Go genius during the Northern Song Dynasty. He played Go specifically with the emperor. He was a great player, but due to the relationship between the emperor and his subjects, he always lost to Emperor Taizong of Song. Emperor Taizong was very happy about this and would reward him from time to time!"

"I understand!"

The fat man said smartly: "It's this chess game. We can obviously win, but we have to lose!"

Chapter 119 The Babies Are Out

Zhou Xun ignored the fat man and continued, "After a while, Emperor Taizong of Song discovered Jia Xuan's cleverness and ordered him to use his real skills, otherwise he would be punished. Jia Xuan had no choice but to set up a three-disaster cycle of draws!"

After listening to Zhou Xun, Shirley Yang nodded.

"Draw?"

Everyone began to think.

Love is like playing chess, exchanging ideas, and comparing moves, but in the end it’s all a lie.

The people who want to come in have to choose one of the three!

Lao Hu said: "S... No matter what, even if the tomb owner is not Li Chunfeng, he must be our predecessor. If we win against him, it is indeed inappropriate and unreasonable. But if we lose, it is too easy and it is definitely not a solution to the problem!"

"Could it be that the tomb owner wants us to draw?"

Old Hu looked at everyone in confusion.

Zhou Xun said: "We Chinese have always believed in the doctrine of the mean. From this point of view, everyone's thinking is the same. I think it should be a draw."

Then Zhou Xun asked Da Jin Ya: "Old Jin, can we make peace?"

Big Gold Teeth looked at the chessboard again and said, "In fact, the three-disaster cycle situation that Master Zhou mentioned just now also exists in this endgame. If we move this black piece to this position to eat this white piece, a rare four-disaster cycle situation will appear. If this is the case, it will definitely be a draw!"

Big Gold Teeth pointed to the position of the draw, his tone very affirmative.

"Oh!"

The fat man looked at the chessboard and nodded seriously.

Zhou Xun said: "It seems that our guess is correct. The tomb owner wants us to play a draw, otherwise he would not have set up a rare four-disaster cycle situation."

The fat man said, "Mr. Jin, since you know so much, then hurry up and get off!"

Zhou Xun saw that Da Jin Ya was very nervous, so he said, "Old Jin, point out the position for the draw again, and I'll make the move!"

Big Gold Teeth felt relieved and pointed to the draw position again.

Zhou Xun directly picked up the black piece and placed it in the draw position without thinking.

Before anyone could react, Zhou Xun had already finished.

"Ding!"

“Kachakakachakakachaka!”

There was a sound of a mechanism being activated.

Everyone looked around quickly.

Eight walls with treasures were seen slowly descending around them.
