Arknights, are you a good person?

He couldn't help but look at Qi Yuan, who was also watching the chess game, but he was not only focusing on the fight in the corner. Instead, he was looking at the entire board without even moving his eyes, as if he already had another game of chess in his mind.

Could it be him?

Lin Gerui felt it was absurd and couldn't help laughing.

Although Qi Yuan is no longer lazy, his chess skills have only improved slightly, and he is still in a state of fighting against each other.

Must be overthinking.

“When will my shock come?”

"On the way, it depends on when you realize it." Qi Yuan's sarcasm in his tone made Lin Gerui frown slightly.

Keep playing chess and keep looking forward.

The shock may come right away, or it may never come back.

pat.

pat.

The speed of playing chess was comparable to that of rain, but as a black piece fell, Lin Gerui suddenly frowned.

His defeat was certain.

To be honest, this was not a one-sided kill.

The two of them even fought back and forth.

Therefore, what emerged on Lin Gerui's face was not the deep thought of being defeated, but confusion, deep confusion, as if he had seen an incomprehensible scene that he had never seen in his life.

"keep going."

Qi Yuan slowly placed another white piece.

This was a very simple long-line chess game. Lin Gerui knew where to make the move at a glance. However, seeing this situation, he did not make a move for a long time and asked aloud:

"Is there really someone in this world who can foresee the final outcome when the first seed falls?"

His voice was a little weak.

"maybe."

Qi Yuan’s response sounded like an unqualified supporting actor.

But this time, Lin Gerui had no objection.

He was in deep shock.

Because at the moment of making the move, Lin Gerui suddenly realized that the black and white pattern on the chessboard was very familiar - wasn't this the same layout at the end of the previous game? !

In the previous game, Lin Gerui played with white pieces and Qi Yuan played with black pieces, and the final result was that Qi Yuan lost.

This time the side was changed, but Qi Yuan, through deliberate guidance and a completely different order of moves, managed to replicate the situation at the end of the previous round in this round!

Exactly.

This requires memory, a broad vision, and the ability to understand people's hearts.

"It's like a trick..."

His eyes seemed to be sucked into the chessboard and he kept staring at it.

"It's not over yet."

Qi Yuan was in the middle of a fierce battle, and stretched himself lazily: "Your Excellency Rat King, you finally realized my actions. Do you believe that if we play another game, the chessboard will still be like this?"

Lin Gerui looked up in response, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to flash.

"Can you really do that?"

"Of course, but I have already fulfilled your request. I will help Miss Lin Yuxia with some small tasks after work." Qi Yuan threw down the chess piece and prepared to go home. "I don't need to let you know about your daughter's news, right?"

"Wait a moment."

Lin Gerui called him.

"Is it a spiritual Originium skill? No, I don't feel anything. This is pure technology... Qi Yuan, let me see it again."

"Ok?"

Now the offense and defense are easy.

But Qi Yuan was a man of steel, and he voted for Lin Yuxia just because he said so.

"Let's play another game, and I will entrust the task of teaching Yuxia to you." Lin Gerui said mysteriously.

"what?"

"I know everything about you since you got Longmen's ID card, but I never understood why you were able to step on the edge line so accurately every time. Now I know that this is not a coincidence, but the result of careful calculation. If you are the one who guides me, I can learn a lot."

No, I'm just lucky sometimes.

Qi Yuan was at a loss.

"I had a daughter when I was old. The neighbors on the street and the servants in my house have watched her grow up. If Yuxia can grow up, they will also thank you."

How could Qi Yuan, a teenager, control himself when he heard the Rat King's words, which sounded like he was looking for a son-in-law?

Stand up.

The ears stood up.

"May I ask how many elders like this Miss Lin Yuxia has?" Qi Yuan asked with shining eyes, obviously grasping the main contradiction.

"How many? There are nearly a hundred."

boom!

Fighting spirit suddenly ignited, and Qi Yuan's hand grabbed the chess basket uncontrollably.

"Come."

He couldn't wait to extend the invitation.

029: Lao Deng's Gold Coin

Lin Gerui was stunned.

At this moment, he thought of the Yan State's Sui Beast. The giant beast split into twelve parts, the second of which possessed the best chess skills in the world and unfathomable plans.

It is said that he can calculate all the people in the world, using all things as chess pieces, and his calculations are perfect.

As long as he sits at the chessboard, he is sure that he will win.

"are you human?"

Lin Gerui suddenly asked in a friendly manner.

"Look at what you said, how come I am not a human being?"

Qi Yuan retorted angrily: "Let's switch this time. I'll play black. Otherwise, I won't be able to handle your random moves at the beginning... Of course, let's make some more rules. We'll fight in close combat, starting from the center and slowly moving outwards. We can't open up a second battlefield."

Lin Gerui nodded and changed back to the white pieces.

This request is quite reasonable.

Lin Gerui stared at Qi Yuan's expression seriously, not quite understanding why he suddenly became so motivated. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he asked:

"Does it bring back memories for you?"

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded affirmatively.

There is indeed a memory.

At that time, he had just arrived in Longmen, was penniless and had no identification, so he could only sleep in the park.

In the park in early summer, everything was good except for the many mosquitoes. Qi Yuan could sleep until dawn every day. But from one day on, there suddenly appeared Lao Deng who practiced Tai Chi at five in the morning, and Qi Yuan's nightmare began.

It doesn’t really matter if I just practice Tai Chi, since it’s far away from where he sleeps anyway.

The key point is that Lao Deng seems to be very handsome, which attracted a lot of old ladies. The old ladies with loud voices shouted and screamed, making Qi Yuan unable to sleep at all.

He was so angry that he got up and started practicing Tai Chi right away.

Outstanding effect.

The old ladies were soon seduced away by young handsome men, and no one was interested in Lao Deng's performance.

Just as Qi Yuan was about to pose as a winner and go meet the old man, the hat where he kept his money was suddenly stolen. Qi Yuan was busy torturing the thief codenamed An Suo, and the matter came to an abrupt end.

Then, he used the secret clues to get a fake certificate, and he no longer had to sleep in the park, and the matter came to an end.

From beginning to end, Qi Yuan had never seen that Old Deng, let alone seen the expression of the loser.

This became a regret for him.

Now, it was the old man who was provoking again. With a familiar look in front of him and a generous reward, Qi Yuan couldn't help but take action, showing no respect for the elderly or the young at all.

Maybe this is the sequelae of lack of public morality.

Alas, he has talent but no morals.

Seeing that Qi Yuan was actually lost in memories, Lin Gerui couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that you want to beat me so that I will never play Go again. Qi Yuan, have I ever mentioned that your appearance reminds me of... a young man whom I have never met but who left a deep impression on me."

"Please speak." Qi Yuan blinked.

"For a while, my wife often urged me to go to the park to practice Tai Chi. I also love this sport, so I went there. It went very smoothly at the beginning. My wife likes the fun, so she called friends and brought a group of female friends to watch."

"Later..."

"Are all the old ladies attracted to young handsome guys?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but interrupt.

"Ok?"

"The old lady also gave a tip to the handsome guy?"

"what?"

Lin Gerui had already begun to feel suspicious. He picked up a white piece and looked at Qi Yuan in silence.

"...The story usually develops like this. I have seen this sad plot countless times." Qi Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead guiltily and rearranged the chessboard to ease the embarrassment.

"Condolences."

Qi Yuan added with a deep sigh.

"An old face that has been seen for decades is indeed not as attractive as a fresh handsome guy. There is nothing to mind between an old couple."

Lin Gerui shook his head: "But I really didn't want to practice Tai Chi anymore at that time. That young man was the only one who made me think that it would be better to give up this hobby. Qi Yuan, do you think you will be the second one?"

"..."

Qi Yuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

It seemed that no matter how I answered, the situation would become more awkward.

Fortunately, Lin Gerui saved the situation with a smile. He overlapped Qi Yuan and the mysterious figure practicing Tai Chi in the park and let out a heroic laugh.

"If you can achieve the effect you said, then all the Go games in this world will be boring, and you have also proved your superb layout and control ability."

Lin Gerui said half-jokingly:

"Every move I make from now on will be the best solution after careful consideration. If the final chessboard is different from the previous one, I will win."

Qi Yuan concealed his complicated emotions with calmness and dropped a small black dot.

"Come on though."

dare you laugh?

If you knew that all the rewards the old lady had given before were given to Qi Yuan, would you still be able to laugh?

I don’t know whether other people can laugh or not, but Lin Yuxia can’t laugh anyway.
