Chapter 302 A desperate situation leads to survival
"Let me try first."
Master Xuannan stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Alright. Please, Master!"
Doctor Xue cupped his hands and said this, then he bowed slightly to Su Xinghe.
Su Xinghe nodded and sat down at the chessboard.
The black and white pieces have already occupied a significant portion of the board.
Su Xinghe played black, and Master Xuannan played white. The two began their game with this unfinished game.
"This game is really difficult. White is in a very dangerous situation and has almost no chance of winning."
Little Fish said softly.
When he was at the number one chess club in the world, he learned some chess skills, so he can understand this chess game now.
"Indeed, this intricate chess puzzle is very difficult; most people would have to concede defeat after only a few moves."
Duan Yu nodded slightly in agreement.
Of all those present, his chess skills were the best, so he could spot the problem at a glance.
Yang Guo couldn't understand it, but he felt that the two people playing chess had extraordinary auras and were quite unusual.
"Master, can you solve this chess puzzle?"
Yang Guo asked curiously.
"Yes, and no."
Gu Qianbei said with a smile.
"What do you mean by 'can' and 'can't'?"
Yang Guo looked puzzled.
"I know the solution to this game, but I don't know how to play chess, so I can't finish it."
"In Go, if you don't know it, you just don't know it. Even if you see a brilliant move, you still can't beat a master."
Gu Qianbei said softly.
"So that's how it is! Then how did you see the way to break the deadlock, Master?"
"Because I can predict the future."
Gu Qianbei said mysteriously.
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo's eyes lit up.
"Master, you really are a Taoist priest? And the kind who can predict the future?"
"Of course not, it's just a hobby of mine, it works sometimes and it doesn't."
"Huh? You can do that?"
Yang Guo looked surprised.
Duan Yu asked curiously, "Brother Gu, do you really know how to break this? How far along does it take?"
"Brother Duan, you'll find out soon enough."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Haha, that's true. Brother Gu, would you like to go up?"
Duan Yu scratched his head and said.
Gu Qianbei shook his head.
"I don't know Go, so how can I get on?"
"I'll go up and try it first."
Duan Yu was eager to try.
He could tell that Master Xuannan was about to give up, and now he was eager to meet Su Xinghe.
The person who could devise such an ingenious chess game must be an unparalleled master.
As expected, Master Xuannan was quickly defeated and retreated to the side.
Duan Yu went straight to the stage and began playing against Su Xinghe.
Su Xinghe glanced at Duan Yu with a satisfied expression, then restored the chess pieces to their original state before starting the game.
"This young master Duan is really amazing, much better than the monk Xuan Nan from before."
I feel he can solve this intricate chess puzzle.
Little Fish exclaimed in amazement.
"Brother Duan's chess skills are indeed superb, but it's a pity that he is too gentle and kind, which means he is destined to be unable to solve this game."
"Hmm? Playing chess has something to do with being kind or not? Actually, I'm quite kind, so I probably can't solve this either?"
Little Fish pretended to be troubled and said.
Gu Qianbei rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said, "You really have the nerve to say that. Your kindness and Brother Duan's kindness are completely different things."
She was born into royalty and studied Buddhist and Confucian classics from a young age. How can her kindness be the same as someone who came from Devil's Island?
You're always thinking about how to prank others, and you still have the nerve to call yourself kind.
All you can say is that you're not bad.
"Hehe, you're right. But speaking of which, what method do you have to solve this intricate chess puzzle?"
I have absolutely no clue.
Little Fish asked curiously.
"Actually, solving this game is not difficult. You just need to let go of the desire to win and the obsession, and put yourself in a do-or-die situation to survive."
"To be driven to the brink of death and then to survive?"
Xiaoyuer said thoughtfully, then looked at Gu Qianbei and asked, "So, which way should we go?"
"You bastard..."
Gu Qianbei smiled helplessly and pointed to the white pieces on the chessboard, saying, "This group of white pieces has been surrounded, and their demise is only a matter of time."
Continuing this stalemate will only make us more and more disadvantaged.
However, if one fills in the gaps, severing the lifeline of this area and handing it all over to Black, then a turning point will appear.
What appeared to be suicide was actually a brilliant move that turned the tide.
After hearing Gu Qianbei's words, Xiaoyuer's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Old Gu, that's amazing! You even came up with this method! You're a real talent."
Little Fish excitedly patted Gu Qianbei on the shoulder, his face full of admiration.
"I've explained all the reasons to you, are you confident?"
"Originally, I didn't, but after hearing what you said, I'm about 70-80% sure now."
Just you wait and see! Watch how I solve this intricate chess puzzle!
The little fish was full of confidence.
Since he already knew how to solve the problem, he could solve the remaining minor issues on his own.
Before long, Duan Yu also lost in this intricate chess game.
"I lost. Mr. Su's chess skills are superb and admirable."
Duan Yu cupped his hands and smiled, saying he had no regrets.
Su Xinghe spoke up at this moment, saying, "Young Master Duan's chess skills are no less than mine."
"If it weren't for this intricate chess game, I might not have been able to beat you."
"Mr. Su can talk?"
Duan Yu asked in surprise.
After all, Su Xinghe is known as Mr. Deaf-Mute, so he should be both deaf and mute. How could he speak?
"I have always been able to speak, but for some reason, I am unable to speak."
Although the young master has not solved this intricate chess puzzle, his chess skills are superb, so he can wait aside for a while.
If no one can solve this chess puzzle, my master's gift will be given to Young Master Duan.
Su Xinghe said slowly.
"I couldn't possibly accept that."
Duan Yu quickly refused.
"It's alright. If no one can solve the game, then you are the most suitable person."
In Su Xinghe's view, solving this intricate chess puzzle would be extremely difficult, but Duan Yu's conditions would be the most suitable for the Xiaoyao Sect.
If there are no other options, then choose Duan Yu.
It's better than letting your master die in despair.
"Let's wait until no one can solve this puzzle."
Duan Yu quickly left the stage.
"My turn!"
Little Fish walked over and looked at Su Xinghe, saying, "Old sir, I have found a way to solve this intricate chess puzzle. I'm determined to have this gift."
Su Xinghe was somewhat surprised to see Xiaoyuer so confident.
After carefully examining Xiaoyuer, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Although he has a faint scar on his face, his appearance is still top-notch.
If the opponent truly has the ability to solve the Zhenlong Chess Formation, it would be an option no less challenging than Duan Yu's.
"Very well, young friend, please. I'm quite eager to see what kind of ingenious tricks you'll pull out."
Su Xinghe smiled.
"Senior brother! Since you have broken your vow from back then, you should give me what you promised to give me."
Just then, an arrogant voice rang out, and Su Xinghe's expression immediately changed.
