Chapter 558: Predicting the Future
Zhang Yang would not believe even a single punctuation mark in Mu Shaoan’s words.
But since he was his cousin, he sat down reluctantly.
Alas, even the heaven would shed tears of sadness to have such an upright, handsome, and noble man sitting next to this despicable guy.
"I choose white."
Zhang Yang leisurely took out a copper plate that embodied the laws of the universe and slammed it on the ancient chessboard of destiny.
Mu Shaoan put his hand on his forehead and said, "Cousin, let's be formal, okay? Do you still think I'm the kind of child who can be fooled by a piece of bubble gum? You rich man, forget it, we are relatives, let's give a fair price, one white piece for one thousand units of the law of the universe."
"puff!"
Zhang Yang 'intentionally' spat out the Jiaolong brand ice-cold beer and saliva he had just drunk, with a surprised expression on his face, as if he had heard that his cousin had suddenly become his cousin.
"Ahem, cousin, why bother? If you said you needed money, just let me know. If you hadn't said anything, how could I not give you money? If you hadn't said anything, how would I have known you needed money? Why use this trick? We are family. It will only hurt the relationship."
Mu Shaoan looked at him with a look of contempt in his eyes. Alas, how could he, Mu, who was so handsome and suave, have such a short, poor and ugly cousin? Did I do something unforgivable in my previous life? "If I make a sound, will you give me a thousand units of the law of the universe?"
"My cousin, you also have to know that farming is not easy. I have so many people to support. So, if you give me a 15% discount, I will definitely support your crab farm."
"Ninety-nine percent discount. If you give in a little more, I will never agree to it even if I die."
"Three-three fold! Any more and I'll jump from here!"
"Well, cousin, I just remembered that I can let you place the first three pieces on this chessboard."
"Hahaha! Cousin, this is where you're wrong. Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others? Well, give me a hundred white pieces first, and place three first, okay?"
While speaking, Zhang Yang had already raised his sword and slashed it down. Oh, it was a momentum comparable to the movement of a sword and slashing it down. He dropped three chess pieces on the ancient chessboard of fate with a clatter.
In an instant, the ancient chessboard of fate vanished into nothingness, and everything around it was replaced by white mist. Only Zhang Yang and Mu Shaoan were left sitting opposite each other, and beneath them were crisscrossing chains of fate that crossed through various dimensions of space.
As for the three white pieces dropped by Zhang Yang, they turned into three balls of mist, occupying the three intersection points of the chains of fate. However, for some unknown reason, more than a dozen, no, dozens of virtual chains of fate were generated in these three balls of mist, projecting in different directions and dimensions like extension lines.
Zhang Yang was just a little curious when he saw this scene, but not surprised. He knew what Mu Shaoan was trying to do, which was to use the law of fate to do divination.
The meticulous haggling between the two brothers just now was not really an argument about the laws of the universe, but they were confirming Zhang Yang's hidden cards in a more obscure way.
Mu Shaoan believed that the pit-digging king Zhang Yang had at least nine hidden cards, but Zhang Yang thought that he was just a newbie in the pit-digging world and had at most one hidden card. If he had more, he would collapse.
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement that Zhang Yang only had three cards in his hand, which meant he could make three moves first.
The specific communication process is only known to the two of them.
In short, Zhang Yang is very cautious, and Mu Shaoan is even more cautious than him.
"Cousin, I'm going to make my move. As the saying goes, you can never regret your move. You better watch carefully."
Mu Shaoan casually picked up a black piece from the void without even looking at it. As the piece fell, blood rushed to the sky in an instant, and murderous aura was everywhere. The chessboard of fate turned into a real battlefield. On one side were huge ships, and on the other side were numerous barriers. Just as the two sides were about to collide with each other, a chess piece that Zhang Yang had dropped before suddenly emitted a ray of light, which directly offset the collision, and the picture disappeared.
At this time, there are only two white pieces left on the chessboard.
Mu Shaoan remained the same, but Zhang Yang's expression was tightly frowned, because he had seen from the previous scene that the civilization that would suddenly attack their world in the future was suspected to be a mechanical civilization.
"How accurate is it?"
"Hey, cousin, it seems that you still don't understand the laws of fate, let alone the magic of the ancient chessboard of fate. What you just saw is a scene that will happen seven thousand years in the future. How can it be accurate?" Mu Shaoan smiled slightly and motioned Zhang Yang to continue placing the pieces, but Zhang Yang shook his head, thinking about something.
So Mu Shaoan placed another black piece.
This time, a foul stench suddenly rose to the sky above the ancient chessboard of fate, many demonic shadows gathered together, and unknown whispers came from nowhere.
But soon, these abnormalities were offset by a white piece again.
Zhang Yang looked at this scene and stretched out his hand to continue placing the pieces, but suddenly, something changed on the chessboard of fate. The chain of fate was agitated, and thirty-six black pieces fell from the void. Then, before Zhang Yang and Mu Shaoan could react, there was a bang, and the ancient chessboard of fate collapsed, and everything returned to its old state.
"puff!"
Mu Shaoan vomited blood and was seriously injured. Only his eyes were still flashing with madness.
"Are you okay?"
"Hehe, how can it be okay? The law of fate is like this. Once you see the future and touch the unspeakable taboo, backlash is inevitable. But I am cursed with the third-generation insecticide, and at most I can only fight poison with poison, so don't worry. But your territory may seem stable, but in fact it is in danger of collapse at any time. Are you hiding something from me? What did you see just now?"
Zhang Yang sat quietly for a long time, then stood up. He did not answer Mu Shaoan's question, but just waved his hand, and a black piece and a white piece fell in front of Mu Shaoan. It was the unit of chaos that he had paid a huge price to obtain before - the ancient law of black and white.
"Oh my god, cousin, this gift of yours is so important!" Mu Shaoan was extremely surprised, but his movements were as fast as lightning, and he directly put away the two black and white pieces.
“I want to invest.”
After leaving these words, Zhang Yang left in a hurry, because he had already seen what the future crisis would be. Even if it was only for a moment, it was enough.
Just based on this point, Mu Shaoan's ancient chessboard of destiny is very valuable, so he left those two black and white pieces to allow Mu Shaoan to control the ancient chessboard of destiny more smoothly.
As for himself, as long as there is enough time, he can continue to obtain more chaos - the ancient laws of black and white.
