"Only when chess reaches its endgame can the king's determination be revealed; even when surrounded by enemies, he can still strike back at will."
After the tenth game, Jiang Li felt that there was no more challenge, but she still couldn't put the chess game down.
He picked up a chess piece and played with it gently.
"Your chess skills aren't very good, but the chess you invented is truly remarkable!"
Lin Che was also unconvinced and said immediately:
"This chess set was specially tailored for Your Majesty. Of course, it's the most suitable for Your Majesty. It's normal for Your Majesty to make such rapid progress. Next, I'll set up the endgame. Let's see how you break it."
He couldn't win a serious game of chess, but he remembered several classic endgames.
Start now!
"Huh?"
When Jiang Li took a look, he became interested again.
This unfinished game cannot be solved in a short time.
Lin Che suddenly felt that he was ready again and said:
"Your Majesty, you still have much to learn. When you finally break through this rut, you'll be considered a beginner."
Jiang Li smiled, showing great interest. He pondered, "The chessboard is full of life and death, just like the court's gates of war! Lin Che, I really like the chess pieces you gave me."
“I am truly honored that Your Majesty likes me!” Lin Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I've worked hard all day, so His Majesty should give me some money, right?
really.
Jiang Li did not hesitate. She reached out to her waist, pulled out a thick stack of banknotes, and placed it on the table.
Lin Che's eyes widened immediately. The amount was one hundred thousand!
It’s so thick, it must be at least 30 or 40 million, right?
It’s sent!
Your Majesty, are you really going to satisfy me this time?
"Here is one million taels. Take it as your military pay!"
Jiang Li took out ten banknotes from the thick banknotes and handed them over, then said:
"If you can beat me at chess tomorrow, I'll give you another million taels."
Lin Che looked at the one million taels of silver, and then looked at the thick stack of silver in front of Jiang Li.
If, he said if, suppose he jumped up right now, snatched all the banknotes, and ran away immediately. According to the system's nature, as long as he was safe and no one could take them back, the skill points should be credited to his account.
Would you like to try it?
Oh, forget it.
We cannot kill the chicken to get the eggs.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
One million was not a small amount. Jiang Li did not ask him to go to the Ministry of Revenue to collect it, but took the money from her own Cangtian bag.
This proves that she paid for it herself.
I'll go back tonight and study my chess skills hard. Tomorrow I'll beat her to the ground without leaving a single piece of armor. She'll be begging for mercy on her knees...
But in the next two days, Lin Che and Jiang Li played chess, but he still couldn't beat her.
This is really embarrassing.
On the third day, when Lin Che asked for a meeting, he found that Jiang Li was already playing chess with Qian Linggong, and the two were going back and forth.
Lin Che comforted himself, everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and his strength is his spear.
There's nothing I can do if I'm not that good at chess.
On the fourth day, Lin Che received great news.
Early in the morning, a fat man was brought before him by the guards.
"Brother Lin—little brother is here!"
Lin Che looked at the little fat man in front of him and stood up almost instantly:
"Brother Huainan! You're here, hahaha!"
I risked my life to write "The Domineering Female Emperor Fell in Love with Me" and gave it to Sheng Huainan to sell. Every now and then I heard that the book was a big hit.
Today, I finally got this fat guy here.
"Hey, Brother Lin. Just call me Little Brother. Countless heroes pale in comparison to your brilliance, and the geniuses of the major sects pale in comparison to you like fireflies. They simply can't compete with you, the bright moon!"
"When we parted at Tiandu City, I never imagined that Brother Lin would become as great as a roc, soaring into the sky! My admiration for you, Brother Lin, is truly like the endless flow of a river. It's like a strong man entering a brothel, unable to stop..."
Lin Che quickly raised her hand to stop him. "Alright, alright. If you continue, it'll look like you're padding the word count. How much have we made in all this time?"
Sheng Huainan bowed, "Every sentence in our 'The Tyrannical Empress Fell in Love with Me' is excellent, how could the word count be inflated? Hehe, Brother Lin. Unfortunately, I'm planning to sell the book to Yanyun Country and Mobei this time, and even have several caravans going there for long-term transportation, so it cost quite a bit of money..."
"Don't tell me you didn't bring any money?" Lin Che gritted his teeth. He was waiting for Sheng Huainan to send money to save his life.
It now takes ten days to enter the Shanhe Shejitu once.
He hasn't even gained control of his undead ancestral bones yet, two hundred points!
"Yes, yes, I brought it. This time, I didn't bring much, just, just 30 million taels of silver..."
"Okay—" Lin Che patted Sheng Huainan's shoulder. He had thought that this book would make money, but he didn't expect it to be so profitable.
If he had known this would happen, why would he have opened up a trade route and let a group of bandits work for him?
He made a fortune just by selling books!
"It's just that, Brother Lin, I might be getting married soon. I was wondering if you could give me some money first so I can use it as a betrothal gift?"
Sheng Huainan opened his folding fan in a very showy manner. On it were written the five words "Champion Marquis's close friend". He fanned it one by one, his face full of happiness.
Lin Che quickly asked the show-off to sit down. "So soon? I didn't hear you mention that before in Tiandu City."
"Hey, I think it's coming soon too. In fact, it just happened in the past few days. Sometimes when destiny comes, you can't stop it." Sheng Huainan's face was full of emotion, and he looked like someone who had been through it.
