The game is about becoming a god, starting with the rampage of Hua Ye.

A few days later, Glenn sat down at the chessboard again, his opponent still the old village chief.

I should give the old village chief some face since I'm staying at his house.

The elderly men around were also bored and gathered around to watch the spectacle.

They also had a very good impression of Glenn, this young man.

After all, most young people these days are leaving the village, and it's rare to have a young man come to the village. In the few days since he arrived, the atmosphere in the village has become much more lively, and the elderly people have been smiling more often.

Glenn also felt a sense of goodwill towards these simple and honest villagers, which was why he came here and had been waiting. He didn't want these villagers to lose themselves and become sacrifices for Morgana to transform into demons.

"Snapped!"

The old village chief launched a direct attack, capturing Glenn's chariot. Glenn didn't seem to mind, and immediately countered with a leaping horse.

The old village chief was dumbfounded on the spot. His wrinkled face furrowed, and he was about to take back his move.

Glenn didn't indulge him and said directly:

"Hey old village chief, how many times have you taken back your moves in this game? Count them yourself."

"Oh! Just this once! Just this last time, okay?"

The old village chief was a little embarrassed and pleaded.

"..."

Glenn was speechless. How many firsts had this been? Was his sportsmanship really that bad?

The old man next to him also spoke up in defense:

"Hey, Old Deng, Glenn's just a kid. How can you bully him like this?"

"Yep!"

The other elderly people echoed this sentiment, pointing out the old village chief's faults one by one.

The old village chief, feeling somewhat humiliated, quickly surrendered:

"Fine, fine, I give up!"

Glenn was overjoyed. He had won another game, and now he could stay at the old village chief's house for free for another day.

That's right. The reason Glenn was willing to play chess with the old village chief was because when he first arrived, he had nowhere to live and watched them play chess.

Out of curiosity, he joined in, and later the old village chief got so frustrated that he insisted on playing against Glenn. When he learned that Glenn had nowhere to stay when he came here, he proposed a bet that if he won a game against Glenn, he would stay at Glenn's house for an extra day.

That's why Glenn spent his days playing chess with them whenever he had nothing else to do. They were happy to have Glenn, this young man, play with them, and it eventually became a good place for the old men to pass the time.

"You wait, kid, let's play another round. I refuse to believe I can't win at least once!"

They set up a chessboard again, and Glenn didn't refuse. They were passing the time, and so was he!

There are no entertainment options in Huangcun, so I can only play with these old men.

As they continued their fierce struggle for possession, the old village chief, while contemplating his next move, casually asked, "..."

"Hey kid, you've been here for days now, what are you up to? Are you trying to retire here at such a young age?"

Glenn stared intently at the chessboard, pondering how to give the old village chief a decisive opportunity, and casually remarked:

"Me? Well, how should I put it? You could say I'm waiting for someone!"

After saying that, he swallowed one of the old village chief's cannonballs with a snap.

Seeing his cannon being eaten, the old village chief's old eyes widened in anger, and he was about to say something.

Upon seeing this, Glenn quickly dropped the cannon at his feet, preventing him from taking back his move.

Seeing this, the old village chief was quite helpless. The old men around him were staring at him intently, making him feel uncomfortable.

With no other option, the old village chief had to continue.

However, upon hearing Glenn's words, the old village chief asked in confusion:

"Waiting for someone? Who would come to this remote and impoverished place? I think you're wasting your time!"

Glenn didn't say anything, he just smiled slightly.

Seeing Glenn's reaction, the old village chief didn't ask any more questions. Young people have their own ideas, and these old folks didn't have time to concern themselves with such matters.

After a fierce battle, it seemed that Glenn was about to win the game in one fell swoop, but the old villager on the other side looked a little nervous, staring intently at the slight opening, hoping that Glenn would not notice it.

Just as he was about to deliver a decisive blow, the piece fell to the ground.

Glenn frowned, the chess piece in his hand hovering there. The old villager was also sweating profusely, staring blankly at Glenn's movements. If he pressed the piece down, he would lose.

But suddenly Glenn stopped and said somewhat urgently:

"Hey, Ge, why aren't you moving? Is there something wrong with this step? Why don't you reconsider?"

The old men standing nearby looked at Glenn curiously, wondering why he had stopped. If he had taken that step, the old village chief would have lost.

Just then, Glenn suddenly withdrew the piece he was about to press down, changed direction, and placed the piece on the ground.

This scene stunned the group of old men, including the old village chief who had been staring at him.

Glenn's switch completely reversed the situation, giving the old village chief the upper hand.

The old village chief looked at his chessboard and said hesitantly:

"Hey kid, are you out of your mind? Why did you change your move just now?"

Although this was the situation he wanted to see, wasn't giving away the game a bit too blatant? He couldn't bear it.

Glenn didn't explain anything, he simply said:

"I'm perfectly alert, hurry up, I'm in a rush."

"Forehead!"

The group of old men were speechless; this was a bit too much of a show!

"Snapped!"

After much hesitation, the old village chief still gave Glenn a decisive blow. Although it was a bit embarrassing, such a good opportunity was rare. Consider it payment for the kid staying at his house for the past few days!

"General!"

The old village chief chuckled smugly, while the other old men looked on with disdain. "How dare you accept such a blatant handicap? You're shameless!"

Looking at the chessboard, Glenn smiled and said:

"You've won this round, I should go now."

As he spoke, he stood up amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

As if he had foreseen something, the old village chief said:

"What, are you leaving Huangcun?"

Upon hearing this, the old men all looked at him with puzzled expressions. They didn't understand why he was suddenly leaving when he was doing just fine there.

Stretching his back, Glenn looked at the sky not far away and said:

"Hey! I'm not playing with you old guys anymore. The person I'm waiting for has arrived, and I have to go see her."

He then gave a slight salute to the old village chiefs and walked out of the village without saying another word.

"soldier?"

Glenn's military salute completely revealed his identity. Among these old men, there were many veterans, including the old village chief. He had participated in countless battles and survived those brutal battlefields, which meant that the old village chief was also a person of importance. Otherwise, he could not have held the position of village chief of Huang Village for decades.

Although he was old, his prestige remained.

Watching Glenn walk away, the old village chief stood up shakily and shouted with all his might:

"Hey! Kid Ge, what exactly are you doing here?"

Glenn didn't stop, but waved his hand and replied in a cool tone:

"To protect you veterans from being manipulated by others."

The next moment, Glenn disappeared.

The group of old men—no! The group of veterans—just silently watched the direction where Glenn had disappeared, without saying a word.

Like an eagle watching its fledglings spread their wings and soar into a new world.
