Chapter 37 Chess Player
[Main Mission 1: Arrive at the meeting place and successfully pass the White Crow Brigade's entrance examination.]
In the messy office, Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and stared motionlessly at the black lake formed by shadows.
He was curious about what kind of demon would jump out of it.
The next moment, a huge shadow emerged from the black lake. It was four meters tall, with purple and blue skin, and a bloated body like a giant. However, it was wearing a work uniform that fit it perfectly. It held an oversized coffee cup in its left hand and a huge keyboard under its right armpit.
The strangest thing is that there are two big heads attached to its neck.
The head on the left was foaming at the mouth and looked sick, while the head on the right was wearing a red headband and looked excited. On the headband was written: "Shiji Banzai! (Long live part-time jobs!)"
The two heads whispered hoarsely, one saying "performance...performance" and the other saying "vacation...vacation".
No way, he really is a social animal devil? Ji Minghuan was stunned. He didn't expect that he had foreseen this scene.
"This is your opponent, the working devil." An Lunsi lowered his voice and said, "At the same time... it is also a foreign object condensed from the resentment of the two dead employees."
"That's quite a stretch." Ayase Origami said expressionlessly, "Obviously, no one has ever seen a demon like this before."
"I just gave him the name 'Working Devil'. Isn't it nice?"
“So earthy.”
Please, this demon doesn't look scary at all, just full of sadness. What happened to you, office workers? You have to stay up late to work overtime when you are alive, and after you die, you have to carry a super-large coffee cup and keyboard to be used as experience bags by others. It's so cruel.
Ji Minghuan teased in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
Under the gaze of the three people behind him, he moved forward, following the reflex circuit in his memory, and summoned the Sky Drive of this body.
In an instant, black and white halos emerged from his body, like the squares of a chess piece, arranged in disorder in the sky, and finally twisted into a black and white "Mobius strip" surrounding him.
Then, four chess pieces of different shapes appeared on the track of the Möbius strip.
Like a satellite, it slowly revolves around him.
The "working devil" roared to the sky and rushed towards Ji Minghuan. Every step he took made the old building rumble. The discolored walls peeled off and pieces of dust fell from the ceiling.
It was like a dirty rain.
"From memory, this is how these chess pieces should be used."
Ji Minghuan's makeshift team calmly stretched out his right hand and pinched the rotating "king chess piece" with his index finger.
With a "click", the king chess piece shattered in his hand and turned into a huge figure that landed not far to his right.
He took a glance and saw that the body of this "King's Colossus" was made of black iron, and every inch of detail was lifelike.
[Hint: The basic chess type - "King" has been materialized. ]
[Chess Type - "King": You do not have any combat power, but as long as the King is still on the field, you will be protected by a mysterious force and immune to all physical and mental attacks (if the enemy wants to harm you, they must destroy the "King chess piece" first)]
The king was three meters tall, wearing a cloth robe and a jeweled crown on his head. He had wise eyes and a scepter in his right hand.
An Lunsi was leaning against a corner of the office with his shoulders folded. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but whistled and exclaimed: "Oh... What an interesting SkyDrive."
"Never seen it." Ayase Origami also said.
"It's very strange, no wonder the captain is interested in him." Robert said.
Amid the deafening footsteps, the working devil arrived as expected.
It yelled "Overtime! Overtime!", raised the huge keyboard with both hands and smashed it down, its arms rising and falling, beating Ji Minghuan madly. The black keycaps fell like a rainstorm, scattering all over the ground, but could not touch his body anyway.
After a while, seeing that the beating was ineffective, the working devil narrowed his eyes and slowly retreated a step or two. He saw that Ji Minghuan's body was covered by a thin layer of black and white light wall.
The source of this wall of light is the scepter of the "King Colossus".
The working devil was panting heavily, and it seemed to understand something. It turned and ran towards the giant statue of the king standing quietly beside it.
"I have to protect the king...if the king dies, my body will have no means of protection."
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised his right hand and grabbed another chess piece on the black and white circle.
[Hint: The basic chess type has been materialized - "Soldier"]
[Chess type - "Soldier": A chess type with very ordinary qualities and abilities. Soldiers holding long swords move clumsily, but win in numbers.]
In an instant, a three-meter-tall, fully-armed black iron soldier blocked the working demon in front of it. It raised its cold sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the working demon.
The demon roared and threw the giant coffee cup at it like a bowling ball.
The Black Iron Soldier leaned forward, gripped the hilt tightly, spun his body, and used the force to strike out with the sword. A cold flash of sword light flashed, splitting the giant cup that was smashing towards him in two. The fragments of the glass cup sprayed over his head like a rainstorm, and there was also a strong smell of black coffee.
The working devil's eyes were red, and he yelled angrily: "Work! Get promoted! Work! Get promoted!"
It chased after him like a raging wave, smashing the keyboard at the Black Iron Soldier like a blunt weapon. The soldier held the hilt of the sword with both hands and held the long sword horizontally in front of him as a blocking gesture.
The keyboard fell down with a loud bang, shaking the entire office. The black iron sword trembled, and with a sharp buzzing sound, the black iron soldier knelt down instantly, facing the huge force like a mountain above his head.
It was half-kneeling on the ground, with a huge dent under its boots and fine cracks spreading outward.
"It's just a small soldier that can fight against a demon of this level. It must have great tactical value if it is developed."
Ji Minghuan watched this scene, thinking silently in his heart, and then he grabbed another chess piece on the black and white ring.
[Hint: The basic chess type - "Cannon Cart" has been materialized. ]
[Chess type - "Cannon Cart": It can fire powerful shells, but it takes a certain amount of time to refill after each launch. ]
As smoke rose, a huge black iron cannon appeared in a corner of the office. It moved its gun muzzle and aimed at the working demon who was in a stalemate with the soldiers.
The next second, the artillery carriage shook and roared, and a black shell burst out from the muzzle.
With a loud "bang", the shell exploded in mid-air, and then the violent fireworks merged into a red beam of light, sweeping towards the back of the working devil.
The flames were like a greedy beast, sucking every inch of the working demon's flesh and blood. In the extreme heat, the working demon roared angrily while waving the keyboard in his hands, stumbling back a few steps. Each step left a deep pit with burn marks on the soles of his feet, and the office was shaking.
Its hair and skin were corroded by the flames, turning into black and purple fragments that fell all over the ground.
"Almost."
Seizing this opportunity, Ji Minghuan raised his hand and grabbed the last chess piece on the black and white ring.
[Hint: The basic chess type has been materialized - "Queen"]
The chess piece shattered, and then a slender and elegant figure fell from the sky. She was two meters and five meters tall, and her whole body was also made of "black iron". She held a short dagger in her left hand and a long dagger in her right hand. Her upper body was in armor, and her lower body was wrapped in a long skirt.
The flames from the shell explosion had not yet faded, and the working demon's entire body was burned by flames. It hunched over, holding its head and screaming in pain, "Performance... My performance!"
At this moment, a clear figure rushed towards it like a flying bird, jumped up with the tiptoes touching the ground, and the two daggers spun in an elegant arc in the air.
Like a female dancer performing the swan dance, her body spun and fell.
The next moment, a huge groove appeared on the necks of the two heads of the working demon. Blood gushed out from the groove like a spring, and then its two heads separated from the body.
Two heads and a headless body fell slowly into the pool of blood below at the same time.
Just at this moment, a prompt panel with a black and white chessboard background popped up in front of Ji Minghuan.
[Tip: A C-level "demon" has been killed, and the progress task of the "exclusive training system" of the second game character - "Wild Hunt Winter" has been updated. ]
[Please open the interface as soon as possible to claim your reward. ]
The magnificent giant nodded slightly, put away his daggers, turned his back to the burning giant, and walked back towards Ji Minghuan step by step.
[Queen: The most agile of the four basic chess types. Her weapons are a short dagger and a long dagger. (Only the King knows why the Queen has this ability.)]
Ji Minghuan looked at the giant statue of the queen walking slowly towards him and couldn't help but think: "So, why is the queen holding the assassin template? Did this Tianqu make a mistake?"
There will be another chapter later.
