Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Heh, to be honest, it feels really good to talk like that." Wang also laughed.

Old Carp paused, then suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

He looked up, unable to see the other person's face hidden in the shadows, yet his gaze seemed to penetrate everything as he carefully examined the person before him.

“You are studying Lord Qi Yan,” Old Li affirmed.

"Unfortunately, there are some things I'm destined never to learn." Wang suddenly picked up a chess piece. "Shall we play a game?"

"Go? I'm not good at that." Old Carp consciously skipped the previous topic. "But I do know a little bit of Gomoku."

"Sure, anyway, the rules of this so-called chess are all set by people. No matter what kind of chess you play, it's just fighting within the established rules."

As a black stone lands in the center of the board, he says, "If you'd like, you can play your Gomoku and I'll play my Go."

Old Carp's lips twitched twice, and he obediently placed his stones according to the rules of Go.

The black and white pieces were placed one after another, and the players on both sides of the board fell silent, seemingly completely absorbed in the game.

After a moment, Old Carp watched helplessly as a black piece fell, and finally couldn't help but feel a bit of a toothache as he said:

"You don't follow any rules when playing chess."

"Because you're too weak," Wang said bluntly.

Old Li looked like his pride had been hurt, and his movements became erratic, with pieces being placed randomly.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Wang asked.

"What will happen if I lose?" Old Carp asked rhetorically.

"So what if we lose? It's just a game."

Wang's answer surprised Lao Li.

He thought that Wang had dragged him into playing chess, but the hidden meaning behind it was that the game would decide the winner, and if he lost, Wang would directly possess him.

Seeing Lao Li's confusion, Wang explained, "Qi Yan said he would protect you."

Upon hearing this, Old Carp immediately threw the chess piece onto the chessboard:

"Since you put it that way, then it's easy. I admit defeat and I'm done playing."

Wang was not annoyed: "Then we'll have to wait here for a long time. Won't you get bored?"

"what are you waiting for?"

"Wait until Qi Yan and my three younger sisters have finished dealing with the small gifts I prepared."

"what gift?"

"A grand examination hoped for by the Grand Tutor, and a gathering of self-reflection from those around Qi Yan."

"Can't understand."

"You don't need to understand."

Wang reached out and swept his hand across the chessboard, instantly clearing the remaining pieces.

"One more round?" Wang invited.

Old Carp stared at the empty chessboard, lost in thought.

Just as he was about to reach for the chess piece, the door to the room where the two were suddenly pushed open.

"anyone there?"

Qi Yan's voice rang out from outside the door.

Old Carp's face lit up with joy.

Wang Ze couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm" and asked:

"Why did you come here so soon? Didn't those people and things outside affect you at all?"

Qi Yan walked past the screen and immediately understood what had happened upon seeing the chessboard before him.

He walked over, pushed past Old Carp, and plopped down opposite Wang:

"Hilarious, don't you even look where we are?"

Wang was clearly puzzled: "Besides my sister, what's so special about Shang Shu taking Jiang Feng that's worth noting?"

"As you said yourself, this is Qujiang Peak, in the mountains."

Qi Yan pinched a white piece, indicating that Wang could make the first move, and said with a smile, "You want to use the safety of those people to entangle me, but you never expected that you are destined not to be able to entangle me."

"Why? Don't you care whether those people can pass the test of their own hearts?"

"No, it's just because I'm a nimble dog from the mountains."

Wang and Lao Li both fell silent.

A moment later, Wang asked, "Are you lost again?"

Qi Yan glared at him: "How dare you slander me out of thin air? My sister was right next to me just now, how could I be lost?"

I specifically had Ling bring me in. As for Liang Xun and the others, it's not that I don't care, but rather that I'm not worried about them.

Hopefully, he will not ask any further questions. He once again takes the black stone and places it at the center point.

The moment he placed his piece, Qi Yan grasped the white piece between his fingers, grabbed the chess jar with his other hand, and poured all the white pieces onto the chessboard.

Wang and Lao Li watched in disbelief as the black piece was swallowed up by the white piece.

"What...what are you doing?" Wang asked, puzzled.

"Of course we'll play chess. It's your turn next," Qi Yan said matter-of-factly.

"No, what kind of chess is this?"

"Sorry, I play Go in Wanning."

Qi Yan apologized, but his hands moved quickly, snatching the black chess piece jar from in front of him: "That move just now was called 'Great Harmony of Heaven and Earth,' and this move is called 'Rolling Over and Taking Over.' If you hesitate any longer, my shooting technique will be fully charged."

As he spoke, Qi Yan revealed the white piece he had just picked up, bent his finger to gather strength, and aimed it at Wang's brow.

Chapter 862 This Go game needs some special effects.

Looking at the white piece on Qi Yan's fingertip, he showed no intention of dodging.

"You really want to beat me up?" he asked.

Qi Yan replied with a smile, "I have no grudge against you from the past or any recent conflict, so why would I want to beat you up?"

It was just a friendly match on the chessboard.

"Can this be considered a friendly exchange on the chessboard?"

"Whether it's Go or Gomoku, the so-called game is nothing more than a game of chess with rules set in advance by people, and then fighting within those rules."

Qi Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the messy chessboard in the center between the two of them: "I said this is the rule for our game, and that's fine, isn't it?"

"makes sense."

Wang smiled nonchalantly, ignoring the threat of the white piece at Qi Yan's fingertip. He reached out and selected one of the scattered white pieces on the chessboard, lightly tapping it with his index finger. The white piece immediately turned into a black piece.

"I've made my move."

As Wang finished speaking, a scene appeared out of thin air on the black stone.

"Holy crap, why do you have built-in special effects?"

Qi Yan stared wide-eyed at the scene on the chessboard with a look of astonishment.

High in the clouds, the three sisters gathered together on New Year's Eve, gazing up at the swirling clouds in the sky.

A ferocious beast tore through the clouds, with boundless lightning swirling around its body. Before its massive form was fully revealed, it had already occupied half of the sky above Qujiang Peak.

Nian's face looked rather unpleasant, and Xi's face turned deathly pale as she unconsciously shrank behind Ling.

Old Carp, standing beside the two, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene:

"This is Shangshu, within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty. Even gods are forbidden from entering here. Aren't you afraid of attracting the Great Yan Imperial Guard with your methods?"

"Friend, observe the game without speaking."

Wang raised a finger and made a shushing gesture in front of his lips.

Old Carp's pupils contracted, and he realized that he really couldn't utter another word.

He could only look anxiously at Qi Yan, trying to remind him of the seriousness of the matter with his eyes.

Qi Yan suddenly flicked out the white piece he had been holding between his fingers, which landed precisely on Lao Li's forehead. The latter cried out in pain silently, clutching his head and retreating to the side.

"I've made my move too."

After Qi Yan finished speaking, he seemed somewhat dissatisfied. He picked up a white piece from the chessboard again and flicked it at Lao Li's forehead once more.

This time, the skeletal whale pattern on the back of Qi Yan's hand flashed, and the white piece was immediately surrounded by a dazzling seven-colored light, slamming hard into the old carp's forehead.

The old carp let out a silent scream and collapsed.

Qi Yan finally nodded in satisfaction, then looked away from the chessboard and at Wang, who was still stunned.

Wang, regaining his senses, pressed further, "You really aren't going to make a move?"

Qi Yan retorted, "Why should I intervene?"

"You should know the origin of our relationship as siblings. We are the Year Beast, and we are the Year Beast. When many of us siblings gather together, we can bring out the Year Beast."

Wang said earnestly, "I am not involved in this current year's manifestation, but the reunion of the three sisters on New Year's Eve is enough to give this manifestation a quarter of the power of a complete year beast. Don't you have any worries?"

Qi Yan said leisurely, "When the year is in turmoil, it will affect Shangshu. That is something that Yan should be troubled by."

Because of your schemes, I was implicated in this incident and subsequently purged by the Yan Kingdom. That's something you, as the older brother, should be troubled by.

In conclusion, why should I be worried?

"The Grand Tutor is waiting for your attitude," Wang reminded him.

"When did I say I would express my opinion?" Qi Yan asked.

"Hahaha, well, I made a mistake."

Wang burst into laughter and waved away the image of the black piece.

Then he pointed again, turning another white piece into a black piece.

A new scene appears.

Liang Xun stood at the edge of Qujiang Peak, looking down at the devastated Shangshu below, his eyes bloodshot.

Ning Ciqiu and Master Shen accompanied him, their faces equally grim, as they gazed down the mountain at Master Bai Tian and Tai He, led by the Grand Tutor, desperately trying to stop Sui Xiang.

"You're jumping through timelines a bit too fast," Qi Yan couldn't help but tease.

“Those who enter the dream are not as clear-headed as you and me,” Wang explained to himself. “This is a little trick I learned from Ling. However, compared to Ling, no matter how much the mortals in her dream experience, it is just a dream when they wake up.”

But in my dreams, if I'm not careful, I can never wake up again.

"Your learning ability isn't very good either. The skills you've worked so hard to learn are still basic."

"Enough is enough."

Wang reached out and flicked his hand across the screen, and Bai Tianshi, who was the main force on the Grand Tutor's side in the dream, was immediately bound by some kind of force.

In a battle of this caliber, one mistake can lead to total defeat.

The Year Spirit roared and summoned terrifying lightning bolts as thick as water buckets, which directly engulfed Bai Tianshi's figure. Bai Tianshi's beard and hair fluttered as he gritted his teeth and struggled to withstand the lightning, but he was no longer able to escape.

After completing this cheating method, Wang continued his actions, constantly turning the white stones on the board and converting them into his own black stones.

One scene after another appeared.

Du Yaoye took over the power of the business from Zheng Qingyue, but soon encountered various obstacles. The young people who had once supported her gradually disagreed with her for various reasons, and eventually even openly challenged her...

Wu You had been living in hiding on Rhodes Island for many years when the Rat King came to him, informing him that he had uncovered the truth behind his master's death, and personally led Wu You to Gouwu City...

After Chen's trip to Shangshu, she was tricked back to Longmen by Wei Yanwu under some pretext. He then arranged for her to enter politics in the capital of Yan. Several years later, Chen suddenly received an order from above to go and investigate evidence of a treason case involving the Rhodes Island branch in Yan...

Qi Yan suddenly raised his hand to stop Wang from continuing his actions.

"What? Has something finally caught your attention?" Wang asked with a smile.

"No, I just think your learning ability is really terrible." Qi Yan said with a look of disgust. "It's obvious that you learned your screenwriting skills from Nian, but my evaluation is that it's a pile of dog shit. You haven't even learned a tenth of Director Nian's skills!"
