After Vikki took one step, the hall became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Fang Plover's next step.
But Fang Yu's eyes only reflected the interlaced silver light, and his seven clockwork fairies on the chessboard. After a while, he clicked on it and discovered something different - this one named 'Leoux' The first element of the chessboard of Beast Chess is the 'margin skill', because only the 'margin skill' can allow the chess pieces to move on the chessboard.
When a chess player makes contact with a chess piece, its sensing time is only a split second.
That is to say, in a round, chess players can only give one instruction to each chess piece. The chess pieces do not accept the usual control methods of craftsmen. This is very similar to the rules of the training software Shana gave him, but the content and form are slightly different——
Or it can be seen as another 'margin technique' training method.
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This means that if one of the two sides on the chessboard does not understand the 'margin technique', he will not even be qualified to play. The threshold of this competition is much higher than that of ordinary competitions. It's no wonder that the girl named Vikki looks down on the normal competition format.
But he was also slightly relieved.
Fortunately, I learned this from Shana's training software, otherwise I would have been really embarrassed today.
But people were waiting for his next move, but the chessboard was quiet and there was no change at all.
Vikki frowned, raised his head, and looked at the unchanged grid.
Few people know that by experimenting with the above-mentioned rule, Fang Plover has used up the command opportunities of the four clockwork fairies. He has realized how to play this chess, but there is no point in leaving the three clockwork goblins to move forward alone.
So he decided to skip this round.
"The player of Ander-Uriel gave up the action." The referee looked at the chessboard, read Fang Plover's intention, and informed both sides with a calm voice in the crystal.
There was quite a commotion in the hall at this, and the crowd around the stands was very dense. Because the participating teams were players from Guta, more and more people were paying attention to this game - and there was a burst of whispers. Among them, those who arrived earlier were telling those who came later what happened.
Although Vikki did not belong to the same nationality as them, because they were all participants in the Continental League, after listening to the descriptions of the previous people, more people chose to side with the old dwarf with the same hatred.
They are all contestants, how can they be defeated by an outsider?
Some people have started whispering, questioning whether Fang Plover has no skills at all. 'Leoux's Beast Chess' has gradually become a popular game among battle craftsmen, but because 'margin skills' are also a cutting-edge field in the second world, not everyone can participate even among battle craftsmen. this game.
And those who can participate are undoubtedly proud of it, especially in the barren first world.
Even those who had watched 'Leoux's Battle of Beasts' seemed to feel honored and could even comment.
"That Korean girl is very powerful..."
"I've seen her compete with someone from the Silver Forest Spear before, and she won without any suspense——"
"Then why doesn't the opponent move?"
"You don't understand this. The opponent chose seven of the simplest clockwork fairies, but they were unable to move. It seems that they are ready to give up."
An audience member who looked like a great god analyzed the situation in a clear and logical manner, while the surrounding listeners were not aware of the seriousness.
Being used as a backdrop, the long-haired young man from the Silver Forest Spear, another participant in the previous game, only shook his head after hearing this. He held down the little Loli who was about to go find trouble, not thinking much. angry.
Vikki is better than him, that's true.
Just like in the guild, Wu Di is much better than him.
The hall was not the main venue for the next few weeks of competition, so the stands were simply set up and there were no sound insulation measures. The whispers and discussions around him also entered Vikki's ears.
But she didn't react much, and even Fang Yu's move to give up the action didn't cause much trouble in the girl's heart. Super competition is sacred. It ends human wars. She has been taught this since she was very young——
The significance of the existence of super competition is that human beings can resolve past disputes in a more civilized way. Therefore, each candidate (the Korean term for the selector) represents more than just Be yourself.
It is in pursuit of such an ideal that she embarks on this path, so every game is of great significance to her.
The opponent's off-game tactics may disturb her mood, but once she enters the game, Vikki only sees the challenge itself.
Competition is all about winning.
Using simple means to win and prove yourself is what the girl pursues.
Her heart was still, and she issued orders one after another, making her seven chess pieces move forward one by one. When the Annihilator Qv700 approached five squares, it launched an attack form. After a beam of red light disappeared, one of Fang Plover's clockwork fairies also disappeared from the chessboard.
A low sigh sounded in the hall.
Most people here are destined to never become combat craftsmen in their lifetime, and even if they become combat craftsmen, they may not necessarily learn the remaining skills. Therefore, of course people understand how sophisticated skills are hidden under this simple way of playing chess.
It's just that in Fang Yu's eyes, the fleeting red light is somewhat similar to the Qv700's scorching rays, but there are four Annihilator scorching rays instead of one. He silently felt that one of his chess pieces was reduced, and then he realized that this might be a simplified attack method on the chessboard.
Then he got the right to play chess.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides is five squares.
Fang Plover has now roughly understood the rules of this game. He discovered that his clockwork fairy actually had attributes:
'Attack 1, Defense 0, Life 1'
This is of course not the real attribute of the Clockwork Fairy. It is most likely just a simplified rule on this chessboard. The rule stipulates that the Clockwork Fairy can move three squares in one residual skill move and consumes 5 calculations (not reduced). Before).
He didn't quite understand what these attributes meant at first, but as soon as he looked at the attributes of Vikki's construct, Fang Plov suddenly understood what the Beast Fighting Chess meant.
Walker: Attack 2, Defense 1, Health 2, Mobility 2.
Fearless: Attack 3, Defense 0, Life 3, Mobility 2.
Shield Guardian: Attack 1, Defense 2, Life 2, Mobility 1.
Annihilator: Attack 1, Defense 0, Life 1, Movement 1. (Range 5)
The different configurations represented by each chess piece have different attributes, which are very similar to their positioning in reality, and different chess pieces also have different computing power requirements similar to the real situation.
As for 'Leoux's Beast Fighting Chess', it is actually on this virtual chessboard. Each contestant forms a construct army of his own according to his own ability. Based on the 'margin skills', Have a simulated battle.
Although Fang Yu didn't quite understand why he had to use the 'margin technique', maybe it was just like the software Shana gave him, and it was a training method?
Just because he figured this out, Fang Yu couldn't help but have a headache for a while.
Only then did he realize that the reason why Vikki only generated seven chess pieces was because the limit of her computing power was to control these seven pieces - of course, under the rules of 'Beast Chess', these different The computing power requirements of the chess pieces are more than two-thirds less than in reality.
It is not a game rule that only allows the use of up to seven chess pieces.
He couldn't help but slap his forehead in frustration.
The most unfortunate thing is that he also spawned seven clockwork goblins. Although in this rule, the advantages of the Clockwork Fairy are almost perfectly reproduced - low computing power requirements, high mobility, and even stronger than normal.
After all, in reality, three clockwork goblins are no match for a walker, let alone a fearless one.
But according to his calculation power, if he only uses clockwork fairies, there should not be seven clockwork fairies on this chessboard, but seventy; if Fang Plover is not worried about shocking the world, he can use Tata The lady's abilities can be even more.
But it's too late to regret it now.
Like Vikki, although Fang Pliance doesn't take the outcome of the game that seriously, he doesn't want to lose for no reason. He has never considered giving up on his own initiative.
The way of the game is chosen by oneself, and the chess pieces are also generated by oneself. There is no point in blaming others. If Fang Piao thinks that he has any advantages, then he is probably more optimistic.
Since there is no point in regretting, the only thing left is to imagine - how can seven... no, I should say six clockwork fairies win? This idea flashed through his mind, and it seemed that there was no chance at all. However, Fang Yu only pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized something.
He raised his head and looked at the chessboard.
But rather than looking at the chessboard, it was as if he could see through the chessboard and the chess pieces on the other side of the optical network the opponent he had met once before.
Fang Yu was silent for only a moment, then he put down the crystal in his hand and once again chose to give up the action.
"Ander-Ulerfang's player... gave up the action." The referee was stunned for a moment, and then read this sentence after confirming with Fang Yu.
There was an uproar in the hall.
If there were still people who thought that Fang Plover only gave up the action because of tactics, now more and more people are inclined to believe the former, that is, the players on Ander Uriel's side do not actually have 'margin' skills.
The old dwarf Sonam Steelbrow's eyebrows were knitted together.
Being able to defeat the old blacksmith at least once was naturally regarded as a pleasure in his life, but in comparison, he was even less willing to see such an inferior competition. Whether it's an alchemist or a combat craftsman, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't, you can't.
Exaggerating and pretending to understand is never the way to pursue the truth of alchemy. Especially for an old craftsman like him, such a motto is deeply rooted in his heart. He didn't quite understand what Ander Uriel was thinking. Although the two were competitors, they were also old friends for many years. This was not something the other would do.
The old dwarf couldn't help but feel worried about his old friend.
Vikki raised his head for the first time, and as if sensing Fang Plover's gaze, he also glanced at the other side of the chessboard.
But deep in her eyes, there was some vague anger - for many people who came to the place, they wanted to torture the food and slaughter the children - but for those who really enjoyed the game, the other party's negative approach was obviously a challenge to her bottom line.
The distance between the two sides is five squares.
She didn't speak, she just ordered her chess pieces to move forward.
This time she no longer restricted the speed of her chess pieces, nor did she allow the walkers and fearless ones to enter protective postures. Instead, she attacked with all her strength.
It no longer matters whether the pieces become disjointed due to uneven movement. Because after the Annihilator opened fire again, Fang Plover had five clockwork goblins left.
The walkers and fearless ones in her hands were all within three blocks of Fang Plover's Clockwork Fairy, and the two clockwork fairies were only two blocks away from Fang Plover. Except for the Annihilator and Shield Guardian, who only had one mobility, they were still there. Four blocks away.
Then she dropped the crystal.
Vikki had completed his calculations at the moment before taking action. Even if the opponent attacked five times first, with a total attack of five, he would only lose two clockwork fairies, a walker or a fearless at most.
The walker has a combo feature that allows it to act again after killing, while the fearless has a whirlwind that can AOE all surrounding enemies. So whether the opponent chooses to attack the Dauntless or the Walkers, the remaining Walkers, Shield Guardians and Annihilators can end the game in the next round.
The peace of victory cannot be changed.
But there was no joy in Vikki's heart, and she even felt a little bored.
The voices in the hall also gradually became lower. The calculation was not complicated. It was not much slower than Vikki. Others also calculated the result. After all, the airspace map is flat, and it is impossible for the opponent to come up with any method on the map to change this result.
After the long-haired young man from the Silver Forest Spear calculated the result, he shook his head and planned to turn around and leave.
Among the crystals, only the referee's voice was calm as usual:
"Ander Urielfang," the referee prompted: "Your action."
Fang Yu won the right to play chess for the third time.
His gaze had been withdrawn from the other side of the chessboard. Unlike the others, Fang Plover's gaze at this moment was dark and rare, and he was somewhat peaceful. In Vikki's first move, he had already established something.
Next, he wanted to test his guess.
If it is feasible, actually victory or failure is still a matter of uncertainty for both parties——
He held up the crystal in his hand.
Ander Uriel was thinking about how he should make a bet with Old Copper Nose. The crystal ball was something he had finally won back, but he couldn't hand it back like this.
Besides, this is the little girl from the Albert family, and she’s not really his student, so what does it have to do with him? He won't take the blame. That little girl Sylvide didn't tell him that she was such a bad lover, right?
The old man rubbed his temples, his eyes actually wandering away from the competition field.
For an alchemist like him, even before Vikki calculates the result, his heart is open - how to win? Take the head to win? However, the legendary alchemist's gaze only glanced at the chessboard unintentionally.
And then the next moment.
His eyes widened, as if he had seen the most incredible scene, and he stopped at that place. The star tracker he had just picked up in his hand naturally slipped to the ground unconsciously and rolled several times on the thick carpet.
The long-haired young man patted Liu Liyue and Little Loli on the shoulders: "Let's go, there's nothing to see anymore, you should have figured it out."
"Tsk," the little Loli pointed her nose in the air: "I made that woman arrogant again."
Only Liu Liyue remained motionless.
The long-haired young man glanced at him in surprise: "Liu Li, what's wrong?"
But this sentence seemed to wake up the dreamer. Liu Liyue suddenly came back to her senses, as if she finally remembered where she had heard this voice. "It's the guy who let me go!"
He shouted: "He said he would come to the base to duel with me——!"
But Haonian shouted, but not many people heard him.
Because at that moment, another exclamation suddenly erupted in the hall.
The exclamations like a mountain roar and a tsunami have overwhelmed all sounds. Even the long-haired young man who was close at hand didn't hear clearly what Liu Liyue said. He was just stunned for a moment before looking in the direction where the exclamation came from.
That's right in the center of the hall——
That's about all that happened a few seconds ago.
Vikki was watching in surprise when Fang Plover divided the clockwork goblins into five, and the five clockwork goblins pointed at her two clockwork goblins, two walkers, and a fearless construct.
"Does he know any extra skills?"
"But what is this man doing?" This thought just flashed through her mind.
The Clockwork Goblin's attack is one. Although it can launch an attack after traveling three spaces, the walker's life is 2, its defense is 1, and the fearless's life is 3. The opponent's action of dividing it into five is simply stupid in her opinion.
It is better to cut off one of the enemy's fingers than to hurt them. Doesn't the opponent understand such a simple truth?
Fang Plover's first round of attacks was the first to reach the two clockwork fairies closest to him, belonging to Vikki. The clockwork fairies only had 1 life, so under the attack, they only flickered on the chessboard for a moment.
Then disappeared.
This was not beyond Vikki's expectations. These two clockwork fairies were originally used by her to block positions and attract firepower.
The next moment, the other three clockwork fairies also arrived at their targets. Two walkers and one fearless launched an attack at the same time. What was shown on the chessboard was that the walkers lost a little defense and the fearless lost a little life.
If that's all, then the game is over.
According to the rules of 'Leoux Beast Chess', the defense will be fully restored in one round, so in this round of attacks, Vikki only lost a little health value from the two Clockwork Fairies and the Fearless One. .
In the next round of all-out counterattack, not only will Fang Pliong's entire army be wiped out, but seriously counting, he still owes Vikki a lot of life.
But that alone is obviously not enough to make people exclaim.
But when Vikki looked at the crystal, preparing to get the right to play in the next round, the expected prompt did not come. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head. In the deepest part of her eyes, she saw Fang Plover's clockwork fairy only paused for a moment in shock.
Once again, she launched an attack on her chess piece.
Second round of attack.
Vikki opened her mouth slightly, but her mind went blank.
On the other side of the chessboard, in that uninhabited position in the void, a world away, in a basement - Fang Plover was silently watching his clockwork goblin launch a second round of attacks. It was only at this moment that he held the crystal and let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he was inexplicably grateful to the ID named Shana.
Because the rules on this chessboard are exactly the same as the training software that the other party gave him. He discovered this in the previous trial: that is, the little girl named Vikki can only use one skill with a margin of improvement. Take action once.
In fact, the real rule of this board is that you can only use the margin trick once per turn on a piece. But there is not only one action that can be performed with one-time margin skills and flexible construction.
He only realized this recently.
During that training, he was able to use the margin to change direction for the third or even fourth time. Although it was still far away from the completion of the training, it was more than enough to deal with beginners of the margin technique.
He is now completely different from the one he had two months ago.
And this chessboard, obviously just as he guessed, is a real training software for margin skills. He even had a vague feeling that this beast-fighting chess was actually a means for experts who had studied in depth the 'margin technique' to compete.
But he was also a little curious.
Including the software that Shana gave him, under what circumstances were these training software specifically used to strengthen margin skills created? Why do so many top craftsmen invariably take a fancy to this skill? ?
But the answer to this question may no longer be important here.
Because the clockwork goblin has launched its third round of attacks.
The two Pacers and the Dauntless disappeared from the chessboard at the same time.
The remaining results seem to be no longer in suspense——
However, Vikki still stubbornly used the Annihilator to kill a clockwork fairy in Fang Plover, and the Shield Guardian's ability to raise the shield delayed him for two rounds, and he was finally ruled out because he lost all his pieces.
When she walked down from the stage in a daze, she felt someone helping her.
She raised her head and discovered that it was the young man with the long hair of the Silver Forest Spear - but she didn't know his name. The long-haired young man looked at her anxiously, opened and closed his mouth, and asked:
"Can the surplus technique really achieve the second action...?"
Vikki's mind was buzzing, but she was actually thinking about this problem. Can the residual technique really achieve a second action?
The exclamations in the hall completely disappeared.
Only a group of people were left looking at each other.
On the stand, Suonan Gangmei was holding a crystal, replaying the previous scene repeatedly, and then he asked dryly in the Ethernet: "Old blacksmith... that student of yours..."
"Shut up."
Ander Uriel's voice came back.
Then communication was cut off.
All that was left in the crystal was a group of old guys asking questions in surprise.
"Old blacksmith? Old blacksmith!?"
"Damn it!" the old dwarf was furious.
In the basement——
Ander Uriel was putting down the crystal in his hand and turned back to look at Fang Plover. There was an extremely surprised look in his silver-gray eyes - he looked at the young man and then at Sylvie who was standing aside. Virtue.
The ship officer smiled, as if she had never been worried about Fang Plover losing from the beginning.
"Little guy," the old man took a deep breath, then picked up another crystal with some seriousness and handed it to Fang Plover: "...There are no outsiders now. You, come and play a game with me."
"ah?"
Fang Yu was slightly startled.
Didn’t he win? Why would he still bet?
…
