Chapter 601 Four Kingdoms Flying Chess 2
"A grown man, crying like that, what kind of behavior is that! I'm even better..."
Yinti couldn't hide the sourness in his words. Yinzhen had just glanced at him, and before he could even express his opinion, a beam of sky-blue light enveloped him, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Yinsi.
"Fourth Brother."
"Xiao Ba".
Yinzhen subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, looking at Yinsi with a smile, and moved his body imperceptibly, gently yet domineeringly capturing all of his attention.
Meanwhile, new people have also appeared in the other three parties.
"Big brother!"
Li Lizhi happily threw herself into Li Chengqian's arms, showing no fear whatsoever. Sure enough, she was still the eldest brother's number one little sister! Qingque wouldn't do!
"Ju'er!"
Huo Qubing laughed heartily, patted Liu Ju on the shoulder, and deliberately smiled freely in all directions, intentionally letting everyone under the chessboard see his smugness. Hehe, his cousin is really something!
"Young master."
Han Fei smiled at Fusu, already able to imagine Zifang's expression: "Go ahead and be jealous, your master is still your master."
How many players should be in the starting lineup?
Seeing that there were two people in each of the four squares representing different countries, Yinzhi pondered for a moment, then looked around thoughtfully. "Four people?"
Following his gaze, Yinzhen saw that although the two were in the same square, upon closer inspection, there were lines emitting a faint blue light dividing their space. The square was further divided into four smaller squares, and he and Yinsi each occupied one of them.
The others noticed this as well. Without them having to think about it, one familiar or unfamiliar person after another appeared as the announcement was made.
[Li Si of Qin]
[Han Dynasty, Gao Jianli]
[Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling]
[Qing Dynasty, Hesheli Suo'etu]
[Qin Dynasty - Zhao Kuo]
[Han Dynasty - Wei Qing]
[Du Ruhui, Tang Dynasty]
[Nalan Mingzhu, Qing Dynasty]
"..." Yinzhi exchanged a glance with Fusu without leaving a trace. He had a feeling that this person's choice was not random at all. His true nature's perverse sense of humor was not hidden at all!
At this moment, apart from the two of them, no one else noticed anything wrong.
The square grids of each country were filled. After the four people gathered, the squares of different colors belonging to each country gradually became clear. Extending out from the square grids were connected square grid paths, which eventually extended inward from the middle of the square grids and converged on a seven-colored grid. The path was very clear.
[The initial lineup of players is complete. We will now proceed with an explanation of the specific rules.]
The remaining members of each country roll a six-sided die, and the probability of the final number is calculated. The country with the higher probability advances the points in this round.
If the throw results in a two, four, or six, the competitor may leave the starting line to officially begin the competition. Conversely, if the competitor does not leave the starting line, the throw result is invalid.
Six is a lucky number, allowing you to toss again;
A jump to the next square of the same color triggers a leap; squares of different colors have a chance to trigger challenge levels. Completing the challenge earns rewards, while failure results in elimination; if contestants from different countries meet on the same square, a challenge level is guaranteed. The winner stays, the loser is eliminated, and the eliminated country draws new contestants; the country with four finalists reaches the finish line wins.
Accompanying the narration are display grids that light up from time to time, making everything clear to the eye.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo tentatively took a step forward, and as expected, the dark light screen that lit up around the square blocked his way, preventing him from taking another step.
Li Si: "It seems the rules have taken effect; we now have to wait for His Majesty and the others to roll the dice."
Han Fei frowned slightly, glancing at the representatives of the other three parties. "It seems... there's no mention of which country will vote first?"
As if in response to his words, after the rules were explained, a high platform suddenly appeared in the very center of the chessboard, which was also the end point.
Next, we'll compete in the throwing order—
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts were in their throats. Was the first competition about to begin?
Suddenly, four figures appeared on the platform, causing a stir among the various nations. What could they do? Their emperor was standing on that platform.
Ying Zheng, Liu Che, Li Shimin, and Aisin Gioro Xuanye stood facing each other, sizing each other up.
He didn't know what the other three were thinking, but at this moment, Kangxi's feelings were complicated. He had never imagined that one day he would face to face with Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang.
Although they might not be the three figures recorded in his world's history, Kangxi felt a mix of emotion and pride at being seen alongside these three "sage rulers" he knew.
There must be some reason why the Qin, Han, Tang, and Qing dynasties could appear at the same time, right?
If we're talking about the emperor, then compared to this, he's indeed not bad! At this moment, Kangxi was quite confident.
Then……
[Rock, Paper, Scissors: Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, Paper beats Rock; if the hands are the same, it's a tie. The first player to throw goes first, and so on.]
When the competition rules were announced, everyone fell silent. That's it? Wasn't it a bit hasty?
Perhaps sensing their thoughts, after a moment's pause, the familiar system voice sounded again—
Luck is also a form of strength; representatives from all countries, please begin the competition as soon as possible.
They were already urging them on, so the four emperors had no choice but to awkwardly raise their hands, tentatively checking each other's expressions, and then extend their hands after the system counted down from three to one.
Fist, fist, scissors.
"..." Kangxi awkwardly bent his fingers. He usually relied on his abilities, not luck, really.
He didn't feel awkward for long before he was "thoughtfully" sent back.
Good news: he won't be watched by everyone in the four countries anymore; bad news: he'll be watched by his precious son when he gets back.
"Father..."
Yinreng only called out once, without saying anything, but it felt like he said everything.
"I……"
Kangxi hesitated, wanting to explain, but what could he explain? Bad luck? He was not willing to admit to bad luck in a competition.
"This game looks simple, but it actually tests people's hearts." Yin Zhi looked at the three emperors on the high platform, who were pondering each other and playing the game with the aura of three armies facing off, and couldn't help but speak up to analyze.
Kangxi: "..."
I feel like I've been speechless a lot. The third brother's analysis was good, but he could have just ignored it. He might as well have admitted it was just bad luck! Judging from what he said, he's not capable anymore!
The final results came out quickly: Qin was first, Han second, Tang third, and Qing fourth, cleverly matching the historical order of the four kingdoms.
[The Four-Nation Flying Chess game has officially begun!]
Ying Zheng and all the subjects of Qin, who had returned to their original positions, soon found themselves with a six-sided die in their hands.
Please throw.
Following the prompts, everyone carefully and cautiously threw their dice. Watching the dice spin in front of them, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
1 point: 18.65%
2 points: 22.34%
3 points: 12.11%
4 points: 16.9%
5 points: 15%
6 o'clock: 15%
Final score: Qin's first-round score is 2 points, qualifying him to start.
On the chessboard, a black light screen opened an opening, allowing one person to step out.
Fusu and the other three exchanged glances. Li Si and Han Fei tacitly grabbed Fusu's arms, while Zhao Kuo stepped forward, saying, "Let me go and scout ahead!"
