What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 836 Can Bai Wan play chess? Shine, my chess piece!
At this moment, in the square, the guard assessment has officially begun, and many guards have already passed the first test. Most of the core ghost hunters of the Grand Kingdom nodded in approval.

The guards who passed the security assessment were all of pretty good quality.

Only that guy named Nani is a bit outrageous. Should we say he's incredibly brave, or that he's mentally unstable?

Many core members took on the responsibility of scoring, and when they saw Bai Wan somersaulting through the minefield, they were unsure how to evaluate him.

Should we write that his son is extremely brave and deserves to be nurtured?

I would still write that this kid's brain hasn't developed yet, and I strongly suggest giving him brain-dead pills as encouragement.

Just as everyone was hesitating, one of the examiners suddenly said, "They've already encountered the second test so quickly, they're Go prodigies."

Seeing the foolish Nani and his group encounter their Go-playing genius, Lin Chacha couldn't help but smile and said to Princess Viya:
“Your Highness, a month before the assessment began, I informed the examinees to learn Go, just for this very moment. I believe that strategic reasoning ability is very important when participating in bizarre games, and Go is very complex, which just happens to meet our requirements.”

"Furthermore, playing Go against the supernatural requires strong mental fortitude, which can test the abilities of both sides of the guard at the same time. Of course, we must also thank Her Highness for sponsoring the Yin-Yang Go board."

Lin Chacha was quite pleased with herself. The princess valued her highly and gave her a lot of her own resources. This Yin-Yang chessboard was a strange item that the princess liked very much. It could be used to play chess normally, and in dungeons, the evil spirit chessboard could be used to fight against the strange.

Lin Chacha captured a Go demon from another instance and designed a level that can only be cleared by possessing both courage and wisdom.

Princess Viya and researchers Lin Chacha also took note of Bai Wan and others' experiences.

Princess Viya then revealed a subtle smile.

Nani is doomed this time; he looks so stupid.

However, the other two guards were innocent. They waited for the guards to cry for help, then quickly rescued them, and deliberately delayed, causing Nani to die inside.

Princess Viya felt increasingly pleased with herself, but the fact that her beloved chessboard was being played by someone like Nani made her somewhat disgusted.

Forget it, let's just bear with it and consider it as money for his journey.

Within the Dream Island, in the canyon of the Golden Tree's illusory form.

When his ex-girlfriend Bene saw that the person in front of her was a Go prodigy, she couldn't help but smile.

She was already skilled at Go, and with a month of practice, she reached a good level.

can win.

"You said the reward is called the Demon Chess Game, what is that?" Bai Wan asked curiously.

The Go master seemed very approachable, so he explained, "This is a game of Go generated by the Yin-Yang Go board."

The Go Demon then produced card after card, each containing a photograph of a Go game, radiating an extraordinary power.

A hint about it popped into the minds of all the players.

The Demon Chess Game

[Detailed Explanation: Each photo contains a powerful strategy that can be used to deal with the strange. Each use of a photo consumes energy; once the energy is depleted, the photo disappears. Generally, it can be used at least three times.]

Li Nan and Bei Nai's eyes lit up when they saw the instructions. It was a great item, a life-saving tool that could be used at least three times.

Because they have to pay a strange tax every time they enter the game, they have no trump cards to save their lives.

Compared to other ghost hunters of similar caliber in the Dragon Kingdom, they were much poorer.

Bai Wan wasn't interested in the evil chess game, because he had too many strange items on him, but he was very interested in playing chess.

“I’ll go first, I’m more confident.” Bene walked forward, sat down, and faced the Go prodigy.

The Go master sat down and said, "No offensive tactics are allowed during the match; we can only fight with our stones."

Bennett nodded, and then the two began their game of wits. Bennett's expression was normal at first, but then his face gradually turned somewhat grim.

From a distance, the Go Demon appears as a dark shadow, but up close it is terrifying; it is something that resembles a human but is not human.

They may look no different from humans, but their facial features are quite different, and their eyes are extremely large.

The thing didn't even look at the chess pieces; instead, its eyes were fixed on Bene.

The uncanny valley effect then takes hold.

This made it impossible for Bennet to concentrate. She could sense that the strange chess skill wasn't that strong, but her mind was frozen.

Oh no, this isn't just a simple test of Go skills...

Is this a test of mental strength and courage?
Bennet only realized this halfway through the game, but it was too late. In the early stages, he was playing almost unconsciously and was strangely suppressed, resulting in a direct loss of the game.

Next up was Li Nan, who was also a little unsure after seeing Benedict fail. He was a novice, and even after a month of learning, he had only grasped the basic rules. After all, he wasn't the kind of person who was particularly clever.

Sitting opposite the Go Demon, he saw the Go Demon's uncanny valley-like face up close and was momentarily frightened, thus losing without a doubt.

"It's over." Benai looked at Li Nan and was somewhat dejected.

This is a deadly game. If all three of them lose, they are doomed. Although they can withdraw, the strange entity will not let them go at that moment. After all, it will take some time for Princess Viya and others to come to the rescue. They may not be able to hold out until the official rescue arrives.

Li Nan's gaze involuntarily turned to Bai Wan.

Only this guy is left. Does he know how to play Go?
Li Nan couldn't help but look at Bei Nai, his eyes seeming to say, "Isn't this your ex-boyfriend? Can he play chess?"

Beneath shook her head and said softly, "All I know is when his parents get paid."

Li Nan: "..."

They watched as Bai Wan muttered something about having watched the complete series of Go Master, which made them feel uneasy and uncertain.

Does he really know how to play chess?
Bai Wan then stepped forward and knelt down directly in front of the Go Demon, trying to recall his experience of learning Go in this Nani body over the past month. However, he discovered that he hadn't even opened the Go set he bought a month ago...

Yes, that fits Nani's character perfectly.

Forget it, I'll take care of it myself.

Bai Wan looked up at the person opposite him and was startled to see the humanoid face of the Go Demon. Then, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

It's so ugly. My original form is definitely the most beautiful.

Seeing that the person opposite him was so ugly, Bai Wan couldn't help but feel happy.

"?"

The Go-playing ghost was stunned for a moment. It was the first time it had seen a human who wasn't afraid of its face and instead started humming a little tune. What the hell are you so proud of?

You're not comparing your looks to a weirdo, are you?
The Go prodigy was speechless at this point.

At that moment, Bai Wan picked up a black stone and said to the Go prodigy in front of him, "I, Na, have reached level 52 in Go and have never lost. You'd better watch out."

The Go master was stunned for a moment. Aren't people usually learning Go for many years? What the heck is a level 52 Go player?

Seeing Bai Wan's arrogant demeanor, Bei Nai and Li Nan couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

Does Nani know how to play Go?
