A wry smile suffused across Shi Xiaobai's lips as he said, "My hand slipped."
The Infernal Queen was stunned as she gave Shi Xiaobai a serious glance and said, "Then this time doesn't count. Do you want to reroll?"
Shi Xiaobai immediately shook his head and said firmly, "Of course not. A mistake in rolling the dice is still a mistake. A true gentleman is to not regret a game of chess. How can I wantonly reroll? Besides, it's just a tiny mistake. It doesn't affect much. Let's continue. "
The Infernal Queen fell silent. Was it really a tiny mistake?
Shi Xiaobai's third roll was a '6'. This meant that he had thrown a '6' three times in a row. According to the improved rules for consecutive throws, throwing a '6' three times in a row would trigger a penalty for consecutive throws!
All the pieces on Shi Xiaobai's board would immediately be sent back to the hangar, including the pieces that had reached the end point. Furthermore, the round would be forcefully ended and it would enter the Infernal Queen's round!
This was a fatal mistake!
The Infernal Queen gaped but when she saw Shi Xiaobai's firm attitude, she did not persuade him any further. She found it a pity that the anxious game would soon come to an end.
However, out of respect for her opponent, the Infernal Queen did not go easy on her round. She had three pieces on the board and the Infernal Queen made three moves, sending the three pieces flying away from Shi Xiaobai's hunting zone!
Shi Xiaobai was helpless. In the following round, he could only throw '6', '6', '5', allowing the three pieces to fly. This was because he could no longer stop the Infernal Queen's three pieces that had flown to the finish line!
"It looks like I have a huge advantage."
The Infernal Queen sighed. After a moment of hesitation, she finally did not choose to go easy. She sent all three pieces to the end point in one round!
At that moment in time, the situation had changed. Three of Shi Xiaobai's four pieces were on the hangar and one had yet to be activated. As for the Infernal Queen, she had three pieces that had reached the end point. As long as she sent the last piece to the end point, she would obtain victory!
The Infernal Queen's advantage was just too huge!
However, at that moment, Shi Xiaobai smiled. It was a meaningful smile.
"I heard that you have a huge advantage?"
Shi Xiaobai threw the die, sending the fourth chess piece into the air. He sent two chess pieces into the game and said with a chuckle, "You can try and see if you can send the last chess piece to the end point while This King is defending. The despair of 'not being able to fly to the end point' begins from this moment!"
The Infernal Queen looked up in surprise before she smiled in enlightenment. "So that's how it is. Darling wants to switch from offense to defense? Interesting. In that case, let me see if my husband can withstand my attack! "
The Infernal Queen, who only had one chess piece left, would obviously enter an unbridled attack rhythm. And the only thing Shi Xiaobai could do at that moment was to defend the Infernal Queen's chess piece!
And to be honest, using four chess pieces to defend a single chess piece was much simpler than the Infernal Queen using four chess pieces to defend against four chess pieces. With Shi Xiaobai's meticulous mind, as long as he did not make any more mistakes, it was impossible for the Infernal Queen's only chess piece to pass!
The Infernal Queen attempted forty rounds but failed to penetrate Shi Xiaobai's iron-clad defense. Therefore, she quipped, "If Darling had the slightest desire to attack, sending one, two or even three chess pieces to the end point would have caused Darling's defense to collapse. However, Darling did not do so. All he did was defend and maintain an inescapable net with four chess pieces. It looks like Darling does not want to lose? Or do you really want to spend the next life with me? "
The Infernal Queen only had one chess piece left. If Shi Xiaobai sent one or two chess pieces to the end point, his defense would reveal a flaw. It would allow the Infernal Queen's last chess piece to escape the encirclement and obtain victory!
However, Shi Xiaobai had completely given up on attacking. All he did was defend. He was like a salted fish without dreams!
Such a struggle could indeed delay the Infernal Queen's victory, but it appeared like he was overly afraid of failure.
This point left the Infernal Queen slightly disappointed.
However, was Shi Xiaobai a person who was afraid of failure?
Of course not!
Shi Xiaobai slowly picked up the die. It was his turn on the forty-first round. Shi Xiaobai said with a chuckle, "This King does not have that much time to waste with you. This game has already ended."
The Infernal Queen was stunned as she cast her gaze at the chessboard.
And at that moment, Shi Xiaobai had thrown out the three action dice of '6', '6' and '1'. He had stacked the four chess pieces together, forming a four-fly stacking!
The Infernal Queen's pupils constricted slightly as she looked at her chess piece. She was surprised to discover that her chess piece was exactly 43 steps away from Shi Xiaobai's four-fly stacking!
And on a careful look, her chess piece had no way of reaching the end point. It was just short by a single step!
As for Shi Xiaobai's four-fly stacking, it was just enough to reach the end point by advancing the maximum distance!
The Infernal Queen's smile gradually stiffened.
The furthest her chess piece could move was 42 steps. She was just short of one step from smashing Shi Xiaobai's stacking to death.
And for her chess piece to reach the end point, she needed two rounds!
But in the next round, Shi Xiaobai's four stacking would simultaneously reach the end point, clinching victory!
He was just short by one step!
But it was a difference of thousands of miles!
The Infernal Queen gaped as she looked at Shi Xiaobai in disbelief.
She had lost. She had actually lost just like that?
In the calm and peaceful attack, she had clearly not revealed any flaws, but she had suddenly died!
Was all of this a coincidence?
Or …
"Darling did it on purpose!?"
The Infernal Queen said with a laugh, "Darling's throwing mistake was not a mistake. Darling had chosen to make a mistake when I could send three chess pieces to the end point in two rounds. So he had deliberately allowed three of my chess pieces to enter the end point?"
Shi Xiaobai nodded.
The Infernal Queen's eyes flickered as she whispered, "Darling had already calculated everything from the moment he deliberately made the mistake. Darling had already 'seen' the situation after the forty-first round and knew that victory would be obtained in the forty-first round, right?"
Shi Xiaobai nodded once again.
A look of disbelief flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes as she said in surprise, "How did Darling calculate every move I made in the forty-first round? How did he do it? "
Shi Xiaobai gave the Infernal Queen a serious glance and said softly, "It's because you are too perfect. Every move you made was the most perfect move that This King could think of. Every move you made had gone through the most precise calculations, preventing This King from finding any flaws. "However, perfection is the biggest flaw! You only play the most perfect move. To calculate what moves you will make in the forty-first round, all you need to do is calculate the most perfect move in every round. "
When the Infernal Queen heard this, her eyes glazed over for a moment. She had never expected such a simple principle — perfection had become the biggest flaw!
However, although Shi Xiaobai had made it sound so simple, the actual difficulty was unimaginable. To simulate the forty-first round in his mind, not only did he need to think of his own move, he also needed to think of the opponent's perfect response. Furthermore, he needed to find a way to set up a trap. How exaggerated was his reasoning ability, how clear was his logic, and how strong was his mental fortitude?
The Infernal Queen could not help but feel a sense of admiration. However, she said in a disgruntled manner, "Darling's acting is truly realistic. It made me believe that Darling had made a mistake. Darling's victory in this round was too crafty!"
Shi Xiaobai gave a faint smile and said calmly, "There's never too much deception in war!"
The Infernal Queen gave Shi Xiaobai a faint glance and said softly, "There's never too much deception in war. I've lost. If Darling has any questions, feel free to ask. Other than my identity, even if Darling were to ask me which part of my body is the most sensitive, I would definitely answer truthfully. "
