Chapter 79 Yue Yiyue: I Don't Accept Disciples
As the game progressed, Yue Yiyue's position as the red side went from having an advantage to being at a disadvantage, and her expression became increasingly hesitant.
The biggest challenge in this game is that she needs to find a way to rescue more people.
The more Yue Yiyue thought about it and the more he worried, the less he dared to make a move.
As the countdown timer on the computer beside him slowed down, Yue Yiyue's move time became increasingly slower.
Greed... so this was what was waiting for me.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yue Yiyue's forehead as his mind raced with calculations.
Zhou Qingyi on the other side was much more decisive and ruthless.
The pieces behind her were just monsters that had been mutated by the rules.
For these worthless people, it would be an honor for them to die in the game of chess in her place.
Looking greedily at Yue Yiyue's eager expression, she suddenly realized that Yue Yiyue wasn't as single-minded as she had imagined.
Hmm, if I modify it myself, I should be able to end the game more quickly, then move on to the next round and reap some more lives.
Anyway, there's plenty of these consumables.
Only someone as soft-hearted as her would think about how to keep one more person.
However, Yue Yiyue is quite good in this respect; he can see some of the other party's ambitions, although what He needs is not this kind of weakness and incompetence.
Her greedy gaze met that of Gu Nanqiu behind Yue Yiyue, and she instinctively shrank back, then remembered that this was her territory.
He puffed out his chest and shouted at Zhou Qingyi, "You won. I'll give you Gu Nanqiu then."
"She will bypass Mu Hongcai and belong directly to you, becoming your trophy."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingyi became noticeably more excited than before, and even his chess-playing style became more unpredictable.
Yue Yiyue, who had been forced to make two consecutive losses, already looked rather grim.
Upon hearing the words "greedy," her face instantly turned ashen.
"Greed, you swore an oath before!" Yue Yiyue shouted sternly.
"Yes, I can guarantee she'll get out of here safely." Greed looked nonchalant. "But I didn't say I wouldn't harm her after she gets out."
Gu Nanqiu is currently just an ordinary entity, and before other entities arrive, he still has room to maneuver.
They harm each other, but as long as they don't all devour each other, the main god won't interfere too much.
Besides, if he doesn't cause Gu Nanqiu some trouble later, he'll be dragged back by Gu Nanqiu sooner or later.
Thinking of that lower realm that felt like a cage, tsk, greed decided to add a little something extra for them.
Those crazy people can go there again and again for love.
He's just a newborn baby and doesn't want to go back.
Thinking of this, greed twitched his finger, and in a corner unnoticed by everyone, the glittering gold coins began to roll.
Tentacles quickly emerged from the corner of the room, silently following the gold coins, engulfing the objects, and dragging them away.

After both sides finished their setup, Yue Yiyue's red pawn was captured by Zhou Qingyi's zigzag move, and a few rounds later, his red horse was captured by the opponent's black horse.
The rumbling sounds of the house collapsing struck Yue Yiyue's heartstrings with each one.
The original plan was to first set up the game, and then close in, minimizing losses and saving as many people as possible.
As a result of his hesitation, he was overwhelmed by the black side.
More and more red pieces were captured on the chessboard, and the sound of collapsing behind them grew louder and louder.
If this continues, we'll lose soon...
Yue Yiyue subconsciously raised his hand and bit his fingers.
Now she has one more burden to bear.
what to do.......
what to do?
She agreed too hastily; her greed was actually hiding several tricks up her sleeve.
Behind Gu Nanqiu was the trust of these unfamiliar sisters, and she herself...
Standing here, Yue Yiyue could hear the crashing of the collapsing chess pieces; it was the suppressed lament of those who were afraid of affecting Yue Yiyue's performance.
The invisible pressure was like a tangible mountain, pressing down on Yue Yiyue and making it hard for her to breathe.
Zhou Qingyi noticed that something was wrong with Yue Yiyue. She had already anticipated that Yue Yiyue was not up to par.
Greed leads to wanting more, but lacks the ability, so one can only watch helplessly as things slip away.
This is a good example of what not to do.
She wouldn't be like that fool. She only has one goal: to get Gu Nanqiu and become the top leader of City A.
Now that Yue Yiyue has provided this springboard, it has just given her an opportunity.
————
"Yi Yue, calm down. You can do it, right?" Gu Nanqiu's voice was like a tranquilizer in the quiet room.
The gentle inquiry contained no doubt, but rather a complete trust in Yue Yiyue.
Yue Yiyue looked back at Gu Nanqiu with a somewhat bewildered expression.
She moved her lips, but ultimately swallowed her words.
"Yi Yue, are you ready to go for it?" Gu Nanqiu's gentle voice said, "No one needs you to take on this responsibility; you just need to finish this game."
“I know the rules, and I know what the consequences will be if you lose, but I still accepted your call.”
"Because I guessed you would put a lot of extra pressure on yourself."
"Don't worry about any of that. Just focus on playing this game well."
Gu Nanqiu's words were like a thunderbolt, splitting Yue Yiyue's chaotic thoughts. Yes, she just needed to play this game well.
As long as we play this game well.
If you lose because you're held back by the people behind you, it will drag down the more than one hundred people outside the door.
There is never a standard answer to the trolley problem, and she has to make choices.
Standing in front of the chessboard, Yue Yiyue forced himself to calm down and stared intently at the game. He had set up the board very well at the beginning and was not far behind now.
Before the countdown ended completely, Yue Yiyue used his remaining red horse to defeat the opponent's black horse.
This brings the game to a delicate balance.
The more you try to grasp, the easier it is to make a mistake.
She stared at the chessboard, took a deep breath, and ignored the sounds around her.
Chess, those old ladies taught her, to think ten moves ahead for every move she makes.
She subconsciously bit her hand, analyzing the situation.
A few rounds later, Zhou Qingyi's dark horse captured Yue Yiyue's crucial central cannon in his strategy.
She looked up at Yue Yiyue with a hint of disdain, as if to remind her not to struggle too much.
These low-level tricks were useless to her.
Yue Yiyue ignored it; another important thing in playing chess is to keep a stable mindset.
He discarded all unnecessary thoughts and focused solely on the chessboard, his mind rapidly calculating until he noticed a gap in Zhou Qingyi's hand.
A trick that he had been tricked into learning by old ladies when he was a child appeared in Yue Yiyue's mind.
She quietly began to reorganize the situation, preparing for a further attack.
Zhou Qingyi realized Yue Yiyue's idea and immediately retreated to defense.
The situation reversed instantly.
Zhou Qingyi, in his haste and with a strange sense of self-confidence, misjudged the situation.
The red car, which had been ignored on the left, flew directly to the black general's side.
Zhou Qingyi glanced at the chessboard and paused for a moment.
The player returned to his original position to defend.
Having crossed the Chu River and Han Border and reached an excellent position, the red soldier immediately advanced and captured Zhou Qingyi's black soldier.
This put Zhou Qingyi in a dilemma, and his previous advantage was completely shattered.
Before the countdown ended completely, Zhou Qingyi tried to make a last-ditch effort, but Yue Yiyue captured five of his pieces in a row, leaving him utterly defeated.
At this point, the outcome of the game is decided.
Yue Yiyue looked at the chessboard and saw that there were originally fifteen pieces, but now only ten remained.
She looked back at the souls with a hint of apology. Tears welled in their eyes. Finally, they nodded to Yue Yiyue and flew away into the distance, disappearing without a trace.
"That last seven moves were great. I didn't know you could play chess." Gu Nanqiu walked over and patted Yue Yiyue on the shoulder, asking, "How are you feeling now?"
"Not bad?" Yue Yiyue was surprised that Gu Nanqiu knew this. She scratched her head, realizing that her... well... little selfish thought had almost put Nanqiu in danger as well...
The opponent was still helping him during the game.
Yue Yiyue felt a pang of guilt, and now he couldn't even bear to look at Gu Nanqiu.
Her gaze swept haphazardly across the room, finally settling on Zhou Qingyi, who was still staring at the chessboard with an incredulous expression.
And then... how could that be?
How could she have missed that red car?
Greed was caught off guard; how did the game suddenly end?
Just moments ago, Yue Yiyue was being overpowered by Zhou Qingyi.
Just three minutes?
Forced Zhou Qingyi into a position where he had no way to fight back?
It was just playing chess with a few old ladies.
Zhou Qingyi thought so too, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes: "Impossible, did you do something?"
"Well, everyone's done their research on this. You played very well, but you missed one move, while I just happened to have missed one more move than you," Yue Yiyue said dismissively, his mind racing to figure out how to apologize.
"If you had realized it sooner, I don't think we would have been able to create the final situation."
While Yue Yiyue was explaining, Gu Nanqiu considerately took out a wet wipe.
A slightly cool, damp wipe was used to wipe Yue Yiyue's forehead, which was sweating due to nervousness, but it was also good for cooling him down.
Yue Yiyue's conscience ached even more. After his gaze darted around, he managed to squeeze out, somewhat dryly, "Nan Qiu, thank you for your words. If it weren't for your words, I wouldn't have been able to calm down."
These are my true feelings.
Once Yue Yiyue sheds those burdens and focuses solely on the game, it will be a great experience.
Those old ladies have been playing chess for decades and have memorized countless chess scores.
Yue Yiyue was often utterly annihilated by them.
But if Yue Yiyue solves their puzzle, they will give him a few yuan as a reward.
After a while, Yue Yiyue became quite familiar with it.
As time went by, some of the old ladies went home, while others were covered with a thin layer of yellow earth, becoming cold stone monuments.
Chess was thus forgotten by Yue Yiyue.
When the word "greed" was suddenly mentioned, Yue Yiyue was stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, with Gu Nanqiu's help, he regained his senses and finished the game of chess that he had solved before.
The rest of the apology can wait until we get out. Yue Yiyue raised his hand and glanced at his watch; there were still thirty-five minutes left.
"You have to accept your loss. You're greedy. You should tell me where that sculpture is." Yue Yiyue didn't directly devour the Black General, but instead harvested Zhou Qingyi's soul.
This was a gamble between her and greed, and Zhou Qingyi was just a passerby helping her with the game; there was no need for it.
"You haven't devoured her soul yet, so this doesn't count." He grinned greedily and cunningly, then casually crushed the gold coin in his hand, intending to bury Yue Yiyue right there.
After waiting for ten seconds, I found that the surrounding gold coins did not respond at all.
His eyelids twitched, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.
"Come on, I didn't bet with you on this." Yue Yiyue directly rejected Greed. Just as he was considering whether he should fight Greed directly, a man with a bad expression rushed in from outside the door and whispered a few words to Greed.
"My darling!" A scream rang out, followed by a greedy and resentful glance at Yue Yiyue: "What you want is under that platform where Mu Hongcai is standing."
"If you can distract them, you can go down the red carpet over there."
