My Arknights Life Diary

"Little brother, you decide the order."

The middle-aged man opposite Tu Fang said this with a smile.

"Then let me go first."

In the eyes of the onlookers, Tu Fang's aura changed the moment he pinched the flag with his fingers.

Tu Fang's hand holding the black piece fell and landed in a place that was slightly southeast from Tu Fang's perspective.

The middle-aged man on the other side rubbed the white chess piece in his hand, and then it landed in a northeast position from Tu Fang's perspective.

Afterwards, Tu Fang fell to the southwest, and the middle-aged man opposite him fell to the northwest.

"What are they doing?"

A bystander nearby asked in a low voice to a friend of his who knew how to play Go.

"They've only made a few moves. I can't tell a damn thing. Let's keep watching."

The person being asked said this in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

On the other side, Tu Fang, who was holding the black pieces, exchanged a few more moves with the middle-aged man who was holding the white pieces, but neither of them caused any big waves.

Until Tu Fang took the initiative to move over and launched an attack on the white piece in the northeast corner.

"Hang up!"

Someone in the crowd said this in surprise. It was the first time they had seen such a novel and radical way of playing.

Tu Fang and the middle-aged man made their moves one after another, engaging in a fierce battle. Basically, as soon as the first person made a move, the next person would follow immediately.

To others, it seemed that they didn't even have time to think.

"The situation is a bit tense. I think it's better for this guy to split it."

It’s okay to watch chess and chat, but do you also want to know the rules of chess?

As soon as he uttered this sentence, a voice of accusation came from the side.

"I'm just talking, so what...it's not a formal competition, everyone is just watching for fun..."

Although the young man's mumbling was soft, it reached the ears of everyone present, and some people in the crowd immediately became dissatisfied.

"Okay, I don't care about these things. You can say whatever you want to say. Just like what this guy said, this is not a formal competition."

Tu Fang saw the restless crowd and said this

"Well, I agree with this young man."

Hearing that the two protagonists present didn't care, everyone stopped bothering the young man, but the voices of conversation in the crowd increased.

"To be honest, I also think it's better to split one. This way it's safer and more convenient for a protracted war. Oh! WC!"

While this person was talking, Tu Fang had already placed the black chess piece in his hand. In the surprised eyes of everyone, he moved forward directly, still holding on to the white chess piece.

"This young man is quite brave! His moves are so radical! He is full of murderous intent!"

Someone in the crowd made such a sound.

"I think this is because he is young and hot-headed. He has never experienced a beating. Otherwise..."

"What are you talking about? If young people don't have a strong temper, can they still be called young people?"

Before an uncle finished speaking, someone else next to him immediately refuted his statement.

However, the gossip from others had no effect on the game between Tu Fang and the middle-aged man.

The two of them were still playing chess. Tu Fang's moves were disorganized and very aggressive. Every move was filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to end the game quickly.

The middle-aged man on the other side also discovered this and kept trying to set traps for Tu Fang, but Tu Fang stubbornly stepped into them every time.

But every time he thought he was about to win, Tu Fang always found a way out of the numerous traps.

And every time Tu Fang found a way to survive, the crowd around him would shout and scream.

"It's so exciting! I didn't expect that I could see such an exciting game in this small place!"

Seeing Tu Fang escape from the life-threatening trap once again and attack again, an old man with white hair and beard couldn't help but say this.

"Oh, old man, can you understand this game? How about you evaluate their game? Or what is their level?"

A bystander nearby asked casually to the old man who was shouting that it was exciting.

"national champion."

The old man only answered with these two words, but it caused an uproar among the crowd.

However, this still did not affect the two people who were playing against each other.

The white piece in the middle-aged man's hand paused for the first time.

"You hesitated."

Tu Fang said this.

"You are very powerful...but I have no regrets!"

As he examined the middle-aged man, he decided not to set any more traps. He was already familiar with Tu Fang's chess playing style, so he planned to make a quick decision.

"Oh? Are you coming towards me? Are you no longer going to play tricks on me and are going to attack me head-on? Well, I'll accompany you to the end!"

Tu Fang said this, but his hands did not pause for a moment, and the black chess piece in his hand fell down cleanly and neatly.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

For some reason, the sound of the two chess pieces colliding with the chessboard seemed particularly... clear at this moment. The clear collision sound even drowned out the surrounding crowd!

This fierce confrontation deeply attracted the attention of those who knew chess around. Even those who didn't know chess couldn't help but look at the chessboard.

It’s as if... as if the two people on the chessboard were controlling not chess pieces, but thousands of troops.

"A killer kill!"

Seeing Tu Fang perform another exquisite move, someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

The middle-aged man on the other side was already sweating profusely.

Second brother...can you still win?

Don't worry, we will win!

Although he said so, at this moment, the middle-aged man's chess playing speed was obviously much slower than at the beginning, and he would basically hesitate for about half a second to one second.

"Old sir, it seems that White's defeat is basically certain. Why doesn't he admit defeat?"

"He is struggling to gain a glimmer of hope, and you just said something similar about Black.

Both of them are top players, and their thinking is not something we can easily think of. The audience is like this, they have a lot to consider, and we, the audience, just need to watch and enjoy this game. "

"Oh."

The person who asked the question felt a little confused by what the old man said.

..............

"Struggle? Is struggling useful?!"

"Little brother, you are indeed very strong, stronger than any chess player I have ever met... In front of you, all my traps are useless.

Now I don't even have the chance to go down, but if I fall here, haha, this is my escape route!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, the white chess piece in his hand fell. This white chess piece seemed to carry supreme power, and successfully forced a way out for the white chess piece that was almost in a dead end.

"That's amazing! He really struggled to stay alive!"

The person who asked the question earlier said this with some surprise.

"Haha, I told you before, don't underestimate any of them."

The old man said this while stroking his gray beard and laughing to death.

...........

"Oh, you survived? But how are you going to win?"

"It's none of your business."

The middle-aged man, who had just found a way to make a living for himself, planned to use this momentum to take down the black chess piece in one go.

"Have you ever heard of the Hand of God?"

"God's Hand, what is that?"

The middle-aged man opposite was a little confused.

Tu Fang did not answer, but raised his hand holding the black chess piece.

As the hand slowly fell, suddenly, the middle-aged man felt that the chessboard suddenly became very large, and the chess pieces flew up and down on the board.

pat~

Can't tell whether it is thick or crisp.

The fall of that chess piece was like a fatal blow, completely blocking the white chess piece's way out.

"I won."

"I lost."

Two voices sounded at the same time.

"May I know your name, little brother?"

The middle-aged man said as he handed over his ancient copper coin.

"Tu Fang, okay, can I go now?"

The moment Tu Fang left his seat, he returned to his previous state. All he wanted now was to go back to his room and take a cold shower.

"Of course you can. I am willing to accept the bet and I hope you will accept this pendant, Master Tu."

"Ah."

Tu Fang casually put the pendant into his pocket, squeezed through the chaotic crowd, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment, I have one last question. I wonder where Mr. Tu learned his skills from and what methods he has to help you."

When Tu Fang heard this question, he originally wanted to dismiss it casually, but he suddenly thought of something interesting.

"I learned the Heaven and Earth Great Harmony Style from Lin Xincheng. That's it. If there's nothing else to do, I'll just leave now!"

After saying this, Tu Fangyi left according to the information Nancy had given him before. He left so fast that even those who wanted to become his disciples could not catch up with him.

As Tu Fang left with the ancient coin, the connection between the coin and the middle-aged man became weaker and weaker until it was completely cut off...

Tu Fang didn't know that the game between him and the middle-aged man in front of him had already been recorded by bystanders, and he didn't know that in the near future, the name Lin Xincheng would spread throughout the entire Yan Country Go world.

But what does all this have to do with him? He is just an ordinary person who is rushing back to rest.

..............

夜晚

"Second brother, what's the point of this idle move of yours? This new variable...blessings and disasters may come with it!"

The middle-aged man subconsciously wanted to touch the copper coin on his chest to find the answer, but unfortunately, the copper coin had already been given away by him, and he touched nothing.

"Ugh........."

The middle-aged man sighed.

"Second brother, you must remember to never regret your move!"

The middle-aged man thought of his second brother's behavior and said this with some emotion.
