This move had once again disrupted Li Xiang's plans and strategy. The game, which had seen a glimmer of hope, had once again turned into a one-sided slaughter.
Li Xiang's chess pieces had been utterly defeated by Harris' synthetic chess pieces. After their morale had plummeted, the chess pieces' combat power had plummeted. Even if his control skills had improved, he could not reverse the situation.
The ten thousand points had been given away for nothing.
Harris was satisfied. He admitted that Li Xiang was a talented chess player and mechanical enthusiast, but compared to him, who had been immersed in Mechanical Chess for years, Li Xiang was still too inexperienced.
Mechanical control skills, strategy, and chess piece proficiency. These were the three main points to victory in Mechanical Chess. Other than the second point, Harris had a huge advantage in the other two, especially the third point. He had studied Mechanical Chess for a long time, and his understanding of chess pieces was second to none.
"Let's play another round." Li Xiang was expressionless as he swiped another ten thousand points.
Was he crazy?
This time, even Harris was stunned.
Was he an idiot? Could he not see the difference between the two of them?
Even on the 31st to 40th floors, ten thousand points was considered a large bet. Harris would be thankful if he could scam a newcomer once, but there was someone who would keep giving away points for free?
Was this kid scheming something?
Harris did not agree easily, but when he saw Number One, the anger in his heart surged.
"Alright, let's play another round!" Harris replied loudly.
More and more players came to watch the game. When they heard that someone had given Harris twenty thousand points, many players came to see Li Xiang's face out of curiosity.
Harris's title as a chess master was enough to scare off ninety percent of the players, but there was still someone who came to him voluntarily.
This time, Li Xiang was much more relaxed. If one looked closely, they would find that his choices were very interesting. It seemed like he knew most of the chess pieces like the back of his hand.
Compared to this mechanical game, Li Xiang was more impressed with the creator, Duke Siluo. To be able to design so many mechanical chess pieces, and to be able to create such perfect mechanical creatures, he was indeed worthy of being called the number one mechanic in the seven continents.
Just this point alone was enough for him to leave his name in history, not to mention the fact that Duke Siluo had founded the Wesaix Technology Company that changed the history of the human faction.
Compared to such a dazzling figure, his little bit of talent was nothing.
After the chess selection, the game officially began.
Standing below the stage, Number One's palms were sweating. She didn't remember Li Xiang being so irrational. Based on her observation over the past few days, Li Xiang's personality was the exact opposite. Once he made a decision, he would most likely complete it perfectly.
There was both anticipation and uneasiness in his heart, making No. 1 unable to shift his gaze away from the ice and fire.
She had already felt the naked look in Harris' eyes. In the end, he would definitely force Li Xiang to use her as a bargaining chip to continue the game. After choosing to become his personal guide, No. 1 lost her initiative.
She could only hope that she didn't misjudge him.
Otherwise, even if it meant death, she wouldn't submit to this disgusting guy.
In the chess game, Li Xiang's style was unpredictable. Just like his fighting style, he mixed in some strange strategies, often able to catch Harris off guard and deal a blow to his head.
It was only the third round, but his mechanical skills and strategies were close to Harris', and even had the potential to surpass him.
What kind of monster is this?
While playing the game, Harris thought to himself in horror. This was only the third round.
One of his biggest trump cards, synthesizing chess pieces, had been exposed. Now, Li Xiang was giving him a taste of his own medicine. Synthesizing chess pieces had become a huge headache for him.
"This kid is really something. He's able to fight Harris to a standstill." One of the contestants muttered.
A few people beside him nodded silently.
Even so, the gap between the two was still there. After all, Harris was an expert in chess. He had countless moves and knew the attributes and skills of his chess pieces like the back of his hand. He basically didn't make any mistakes and played steadily. On the other hand, Li Xiang seemed to be experimenting. He was always using strange moves, but most of them weren't good.
"White wins!" The cold mechanical voice resounded in the arena.
Harris looked at his white chess pieces beating the black king chess pieces to death and let out a long breath. This game brought him a lot of pressure. Even if he defeated Li Xiang, he lost more than half of his chess pieces.
Another 10,000 points were in his hands.
Now, he had earned 30,000 points.
Harris's heart was calling for him to stop. Enough was enough. If this continued, Li Xiang would become more troublesome. However, another voice kept tempting him to continue. Just a little more and he would be able to squeeze this kid dry.
And he hadn't shown his full strength yet. There was a chance to completely defeat him.
"One more time and I can get that woman." Harris licked his lips and secretly glanced at Number One who was worried about Li Xiang.
Harris looked at Li Xiang. Li Xiang was still replaying the game. That nonchalant attitude of his made Harris furious.
30,000 points were nothing in his eyes?
He made him look like a sparring partner.
"Are you still coming?" This time, it was Harris who took the initiative to ask. The people below booed, thinking that he was shameless. However, they were envious that he could earn 30,000 points from a newcomer.
If they were unlucky, they might not be able to earn that much in a month.
Everyone looked at Li Xiang.
He actually nodded!
"If that's the case, why don't we play a bigger game this time?" Harris rubbed his hands and tried to speak as calmly as possible. He didn't want to scare this fat sheep away. "I'll also give you a chance to turn the tables."
"What do you mean?" Li Xiang was stunned for a moment. He retracted his right hand that was holding the recorder. He still had 20,000 points to squander, but since the other party said to play a bigger game, was he prepared to slaughter him and consign him to eternal damnation?
"You still have 20,000 points, right? Bet all of them. Also, your personal guide will be 40,000 points. That's a total of 60,000 points. If you win this game, not only will you get your money back, but you will also earn 30,000 points!" Harris lowered his voice and ignored the voices of the competitors below.
As soon as he said that, Li Xiang suddenly understood.
It turned out that this guy had his eyes on Number One.
He frowned and was about to refuse, but Number One's voice beat him to it. "Okay, Master Li Xiang will bet with him!"
Number One's chest rose and fell violently. She was shocked when she said that.
Why was she so impulsive?
When she heard that the other party treated her as a commodity, an unknown fire rose in her heart.
Ever since she left home and came here, she had been enduring all kinds of gazes.
Number One was born as a slave, even worse than a commoner. She didn't even have the qualifications to receive an education. Although she later spent a lot of money testing magic circuits and proved that she really had no talent, the feeling of being deprived of the most basic rights was infuriating.
Her slave status originated from her parents, two scumbags at the bottom of society. They sold their daughter directly to a slave trader for her sake. These two scumbags were now dead, but she couldn't get rid of the mark of a slave for the rest of her life.
Unless she transcended to a new class, but it was easier said than done for someone with no talent like her.
Time and time again, in order to survive, she treated herself as a commodity and endured those gazes.
But this time, in front of Li Xiang, she couldn't help it at all.
Number One looked at Li Xiang, the pleading in her eyes particularly obvious.
She hoped that Li Xiang could help her get the dignity that she couldn't get!
"Okay, I'll play another game with you." Li Xiang's eyes slowly turned cold. He hesitated because even if Number One was his personal guide, he had never treated her as a commodity or a toy. Whether or not she could be worth 40,000 points wasn't something he could decide.
But since that was the case, he might as well play a good game with him.
White teeth slowly appeared in Li Xiang's eyes. The game panel had never been so clear, including all the mechanical devices, as if they were one with him.
In the chess selection round, Li Xiang's choice was cautious and decisive. After three games, he already had a deep understanding of mechanical chess. Especially after mastering the huge chess library, his ability to select chess pieces had skyrocketed.
But this time, he did something that made everyone's jaws drop!
The chess piece sat on the huge mechanical chessboard.
The crowd of onlookers had reached its peak, and a small number of people who knew a little about Li Xiang's deeds in the lower levels were even more interested.
But after the chess piece fell from the sky, almost everyone was shocked.
"Is this guy crazy? Has he lost his mind? " Harris laughed wildly in his heart. When he saw Li Xiang's choice, he almost fainted. He had been paying 120% attention, but his opponent had played such a trick.
It turned out that Li Xiang didn't play according to the rules at all. This time, he did something that no one who had played mechanical chess had ever done before — he changed the king piece.
The king piece was the core of one's side. Once it died, it would be the end of the game.
Therefore, the king piece was the primary target of all the enemy pieces, and it was also an important target for one's own pieces to protect.
It was like the general and commander in China's chess.
So even if there were alternative pieces for the king piece in the chess library, no one would be stupid enough to change it. This was because the default king piece had the most balanced attributes, and the alternative pieces all had high attack and low defense. The one Li Xiang chose was even more ridiculous. It would probably die after two attacks.
Even if the attack power was ridiculously high, no one would choose to use the king piece to fight.
Not only that, but he also chose a human hidden piece. This piece was recognized by Harris and a group of chess players as a piece of trash. It had low attack and low defense, and it only had a camouflage function. It was useless.
One had to know that Mechanical Fighting Chess was all about killing. Every chess piece had a huge effect. Wasting two chess pieces like this was suicidal.
