Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1853: Chapter 1856: The Chessboard

Huang Tu was in great discomfort, immense discomfort.

However, he knew he had no choice but to move!

This was a decision he chose to stick out, and he couldn’t blame anyone else!

Silver Fox looked at Huang Tu with an expression of sorrowful lament for a rabbit’s death.

Huang Tu and he had a good relationship, often communicated in daily life, and now seeing him take the lead, the desolation was beyond words!

But he couldn’t do anything about it either.

Ten thousand reasons flowed through his mind, leaving only one sentence at the end!

That was, better my companion dies than me!

Old brother, sorry, but you go ahead and scout the path!

Unable to bear seeing his old brother take that simple yet difficult step, his gaze turned to Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng.

He wanted to discern something from these two!

Anything!

He was not a chess player, just a chess piece, so he couldn’t perceive the current trend from a broader perspective; he could only infer some things backward based on outcomes.

He believed that as long as these two made a move, whether to kill Huang Tu or stop Huang Tu, he could deduce some things.

Yet!

Nothing!

Yes, nothing at all!

These two seemed as if they hadn’t noticed Huang Tu was leaving, nor heard Huang Tu’s heart-rending cries; they were just playing chess.

One move from you, one move from me.

The actions were not fast, yet full of strategy.

This plunged Silver Fox into instant confusion.

Are these two not taking any action?!

However, in the end, he suddenly had a flash of insight!

That was the chessboard!

Yes, exactly, the chessboard!

They weren’t inactive; they were making moves!

That was playing chess!

He understood, this was not just chess, it was a way of exchanging information!

Indeed, this must be the case!

These two people, faced with such a predicament, could only have a consistent action to make the best plan.

Just like the previous operation of these two against their group of twenty-one.

Only that little matter of the middle-aged man sending the Domain method had achieved an incredible level of tacit understanding between the two.

Especially now, facing each other, communicating through chess!

Thinking of this, Silver Fox’s face showed a hint of a strange red color, and his eyes fixed on the chessboard without blinking, attempting to discern something from the black and white chess pieces!

Text, shapes, codes?!

No matter what transmission method, he believed that as long as there was mutual communication, patterns and repetitions must appear.

Combined with the current scene, then some things could inevitably be guessed at!

...

Silver Fox focused on the chessboard, and Heaven’s Lord also focused on the chessboard simultaneously.

This point of view was exactly the same as Silver Fox’s; he also felt there must be something wrong with the chessboard.

However, he was better off than Silver Fox because he was well aware of this type of chess.

Five-in-row!

Connect five vertically, horizontally, or diagonally is to win!

It somewhat aligns with the current situation; if you can control five people, you indeed stand at the position of invincibility!

However, five-in-row could also be a cover, using it as a distraction to play Go.

Entrap, besiege, devour Dalong!

This could also be used to explain the current situation!

Thinking of this, Heaven’s Lord displayed a smug smile.

He possessed too much knowledge from his layout of the heavens, believing these can’t escape his grasp as long as they adhere to the existing rules!

All that’s needed is calculating one by one.

These cannot stump him!

If he couldn’t do even this, how would he pass on various skills to those pig-like Hosts through the system?

He didn’t know how many times he had given the skill of Go master!

Just exhaustively reason them out!

”Number Two, immediately deduce this chess game; break down the chessboard of these two!” Heaven’s Lord commanded aloud.

”Yes!”

Number Two took the order and prepared to leave.

”Wait a moment.”

Heaven’s Lord suddenly stopped Number Two.

Under Number Two’s puzzled gaze, Heaven’s Lord stroked his chin, squinted his eyes, and finally spoke again: ”Tell Number Three to simulate all of these two’s actions! From their blinks to their chess moves, even the amount of alcohol consumed is not to be overlooked!”

He suddenly recalled the previous conversation between the two before Number Two had personally interacted with them.

At that time, he didn’t think anything was wrong, but after today’s events, if he still doesn’t realize that these two have a special way of communicating, he wouldn’t be fit to be called Heaven’s Lord!

Therefore, he remembered this matter.

Five-in-row may be a cover for Go, then why can’t the chessboard be a cover for their actions?

After all, actions are often more direct in many places!

”Yes!”

Number Two backed down.

This time she had no doubts, having done such things many times!

Number Two left, and Heaven’s Lord grinned mischievously, ”Little mice, let’s see what more tricks you can play!”

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is always the prerequisite for victory; otherwise, you can only rely on sheer luck!

As someone wise, the last thing he believed in was luck, even though Huang Tu’s appearance made him verbally admit to having good luck as well.

The so-called good luck was just the best among a few possibilities he envisioned, not that he was helpless if any other possibility appeared!

...

Silver Fox and Heaven’s Lord began focusing on Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng’s chessboard.

Their every move, every chess piece was subjected to constant deduction and calculation.

Only Huang Tu was still shouting painfully, ”I’m leaving! I am really going to leave!”

However, despite his increasingly loud, his raised foot continued descending at a negative speed of light.

Other than the sweat increasing, you couldn’t even tell if his body had moved at all!

Even if he was very sure he was indeed moving!

The entire atmosphere at the scene became increasingly eerie!

And yet, Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng’s own ambiance of playing chess remained as calm as ever.

”I won.” Lin Feng said proudly, raising his eyebrows.

”Tch, you were just lucky.”

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, took a sip of alcohol, and said.

This alcohol, it tasted good, but it wasn’t intoxicating.

After all, this thing was created by them, unable to exceed their own abilities, like passing from left hand to right hand, just for fun.

”Again, again.”

Lin Feng laughed heartily, ”It’s been a long time since I fought like this; fighting in such an atmosphere is also a supreme pleasure!”

”Indeed.”

Lu Xiaobu laughed, ”I bet everyone’s eyes are fixed on us right now.”

”Anyway, stares won’t kill anyone!” Lin Feng said liberally.

While they were talking, the chessboard was set up again.

The better thing about five-in-row than Go is its simplicity and directness; there’s no need to think too much about far-off setups, doesn’t exhaust much mental effort, and fighting is exhilarating!

As for whether they were truly exchanging messages through chess, were really discussing plans, only the two of them knew!
