Atomic Girl? Please salute the commander!

"Hungry?"

Su Yi picked up the cannon in his hand and decisively shot down the horse that was delivered to his door.

"Have you already..."

"No." Qiu Xiaoyu seemed to have anticipated this question, and before he could finish his question, she spoke first.

She reached out and gently took off her jade hairpin. Her long black hair fell from behind her and floated in the air. Under the sunlight, every strand of hair was clearly visible.

The ancient girls felt even more strongly about it, and even the ladies from noble families did not feel this way. Sitting opposite each other, they couldn't help but feel as if they were in two different worlds.

"I found that wrapping jade in my hair could temporarily suppress the craving, but the suppression effect was not very good. If I continued to use it, I couldn't guarantee that I would be able to hold it back later."

Qiu Xiaoyu held the hairpin in her hand and took a deep breath. A shadow now covered her usually calm face.

Her summoned creature, Xiao Hei, can smell the scent of life energy, not because of its sharp perception, but because it craves this energy, or in other words, it feeds on this energy.

After being possessed, this feeling will be obviously transmitted to one's own body, like a thorn in the flesh, which is difficult to remove.

Although she was a little confused, Qiu Xiaoyu still did not forget to play chess after she finished speaking. She pushed her horse across the river, stepped on Su Yi's chess piece, and protected her own pawn in the middle.

Su Yi directly launched the cannon, ignoring the protection of the horse, and directly knocked out the middle pawn. Then he asked: "What level have you reached now? There are also different levels of "nothing". I want to know which level it is."

Qiu Xiaoyu lowered her eyes slightly, retracted the elephant to the bottom corner, revealing her camp and no longer providing any protection.

"This feeling makes me uncomfortable. The hunger it brings is almost extraordinary, making me crave living things immensely. As long as I touch them and dig my nails into the flesh, I can easily absorb the life energy contained within."

"It's just like the vampires in Western mythology, replenishing their physical strength by absorbing the blood of others."

Qiu Xiaoyu stretched out her slender palm, and in an instant, strange black smoke came out. The nails that had been trimmed to be extremely smooth became narrow, long and sharp, and appeared a blood-red color.

The eyes gradually turned into vertical pupils, flashing green in the sunlight, and two furry cat ears grew out of the untied black hair.

The left ear is as dark as the night falling, thick and invisible, while the right ear is as white and pure as the cold snow in December, just like a cat demon walking out of a storybook.

Qiu Xiaoyu lowered her eyebrows, gritted her teeth and suppressed the dark energy in her body. After a long time, she gradually returned to normal.

"I once couldn't resist the temptation and sucked on a little white mouse. My nails pierced into its body, and soon the mouse became shrunken, with only fur left."

"And yet, even this tiny life gave me the same feeling as taking drugs. That momentary comfort was as if all the pores in my body were opened, and the warm current of new clothes washed over every part of my body."

"And after that, the allure of all living things grew dramatically and uncontrollably every day. This was especially true for young children. Whenever I saw them, I could hardly suppress the throbbing in my heart. It was as if they weren't living beings, but rather the water and bread that a hungry person used to fill their stomach..."

"Master Reserve Martial God, I was already on the verge of collapse. If I had used all my strength that night, I really don't know what would have happened. I might have lost consciousness before the police arrived, rushed into the yard, and devoured all those children."

After being forced to withdraw the elephant to protect the general, the elephant in the left corner lost its protection and was eaten by the cannon, and both the chariot and the cannon were close to the general's camp.

Qiu Xiaoyu raised her hand and hesitated for a rare moment. She paused, took a deep breath, and her plump chest rose and fell as if she was adjusting her posture. She spoke in a low voice.

"I really don't want to kill anyone, and I don't want to be controlled by this strange feeling."

"But that feeling is really hard to suppress, especially after that experience. Even if I'm not possessed, I'm gradually starting to be affected. If it continues to accumulate, I'm afraid I'll reach the brink of collapse."

"The reason I came to participate in the selection this time was to get a chance to talk to the Valkyrie and see if Daxia's strongest psychic had any solution. But I didn't expect that before I even met the Valkyrie, you would already discover the problem."

"Of course I don't deny that I used some means to win, but I don't want to become a monster. I simply can't afford the cost of failure, so even if it means using any means necessary, I must win."

"Before coming here, I gathered a lot of information and watched the footage of your battle at the reserve trials over and over again. Many people said that you relied on that sword to make it to the end."

"However, I feel that the sword was just a disguise, and you didn't actually use your full strength at all."

"Oh?" This sentence piqued Su Yi's interest. He held the chess piece in his hand and glanced at the girl's face.

"Have you learned sword?"

"No."

Qiu Xiaoyu shook her head.

"But as a wielder, I know very well that the more powerful the weapon, the more difficult it is to wield."

"That sword performed so brilliantly in the last battle, yet you were so calm and collected after swinging it. Compared to this little bit of damage, it's nothing."

"When those three attacked, I knew you would be fine. Of course, I also found a way out for them. The three hundred million was prepared for this purpose."

In response to these remarks, Su Yi did not say anything. He just waved his hand silently, asking Luo Lixi, who was holding a dagger, to return to his side, and then continued the game.

The black horse steps on the cannon in the middle gate, the red horse steps on the horse, and the cannon hits the red horse.

The situation became balanced again, with the red side having two chariots, horses and cannons, and the black side having two chariots and two cannons.

In order not to lose pieces, Qiu Xiaoyu finally stacked up two chariots to protect his cannon.

It has come to this.

Anyone who knows chess already knows that it's basically a draw, as long as Su Yi uses his horse to exchange for his cannon, and then his rook captures his horse.

Both sides only have one chariot and one cannon left, and the pawns are equal. Unless it is an old man playing with a naughty child, neither side has any chance of winning.

Qiu Xiaoyu placed her hands on her knees and waited quietly. The spring breeze blew across her face, letting her black hair sway. She half-closed her eyes and looked at the chessboard in front of her.

Looks relaxed.

But her legs still came together involuntarily, tightly pressed together, as if there was a hint of tension hidden beneath her calm mood.

This feeling lasted until Su Yi chose to force a change of tactics, raised his hand to add an elephant, temporarily disrupted the situation, and gave up the chance of a draw.

But this move undoubtedly gave up his advantage of taking the initiative, giving Qiu Xiaoyu the opportunity to operate in this crucial endgame.

The two men instantly rekindled their fighting spirit, each holding a chess piece to face each other. The black rook advanced straight ahead, and Su Yi also attacked with a horizontal rook.

The black cannon directly puts the general at the bottom, and the red soldier returns to defend to avoid the attack temporarily. The black cannon sacrifices itself and attacks the right soldier directly, forcing the general to eat the cannon.

Seeing that the trap had been set, the stacked cars that Qiu Xiaoyu had prepared long ago were all deployed, forcing the coach to move up.

Then the chariot was used to chop down the elephant, and then the chariot retreated one general. The general did not dodge and moved down, and the chariot sat in the middle of the hall, forming a situation of being checkmated.

When Su Yi made his move, according to the rules, he had no way to retreat. No matter how he moved, he would be checkmated, and the outcome was already decided.

Seeing this situation, Su Yi held the pawn in his hand, as if thinking about something. He did not throw in the towel to admit defeat, but spoke slowly.

"Life energy is the purest, most easily absorbed, and purest energy. It is a fatal temptation for every psychic. Your situation is very normal. Anyone who can sense it cannot avoid being tempted."

"Even my friend and I experienced similar throbbing sensations when we sensed life energy."

"It's just that both he and I have overcome it..."

As she said this, the beauty mole at the corner of Qiu Xiaoyu's eye moved slightly, and a soft light came from her beautiful eyes. She sat upright on the stone chair, put her hands on her chest with an extremely frank attitude, and then asked solemnly.

"Master Martial God, Mr. Su, please teach me. As long as you are willing to teach me, you can ask me for any conditions you want, as long as I can do it."

She was almost driven crazy by the hunger.

Qiu Xiaoyu doesn't care about the pressure, disapproval, or danger from the outside world.

These are just external means. There is a way to deal with everything, and everything can be conquered.

His mother was just a hostess who had a one-night stand with his father. She gave birth to him just to ask for money from the Qiu family. After making a big fuss, she sent him away in exchange for the money and then disappeared without a trace.

Since she was 5 years old, Qiu Xiaoyu was thrown into that traditional conglomerate family. As the child of a mistress, she lived under the watchful eye of the original wife, and none of her three brothers and sisters liked her.

It was like a sharp thorn stuck in my body, and I was even considered sending to an orphanage many times.

Even in that situation, she did not panic, acted in a flattering manner, feigned compliance, operated behind the scenes, and frantically walked on various bottom lines and edges.

It only took 12 years.

Now she is the only designated heir of the Qiu family.

Or in a sense, he has become the head of the entire family.

On the surface, she is just a woman who flatters the old man of the Qiu family to get to the top. She does not hold any shares and is just temporarily serving as the CEO of some companies. She looks glamorous, but in fact she is just a high-level employee.

She secretly placed her own puppets in all the family businesses to dilute the equity.

Now, if all the puppets’ equity is added together, even if all the members of the Qiu family were piled together, they still wouldn’t be able to catch up to mine.

He just didn't want to attract too much attention, so he let his father continue to sit in the position of head of the family.

She never worried about fighting for power, seizing profits, plotting, or scheming.

But when it comes to her own problems, she is helpless, just like the loneliness and loss she felt when she was abandoned by her mother as a child.

Whether you are enjoying the comfort of sitting in a luxurious private villa and drinking the highest-end red wine, enjoying the physical therapy of a private masseur, or seeking excitement by doing something like skydiving or bungee jumping, or even enjoying the crowds in the company, no one dares to object.

Afterwards, that feeling of loss still came to me.

Even though Qiu Xiaoyu tried her best to lure her mother back with money, this relationship created by trickery could not bring back that feeling.

Just like she was lacking life energy after being possessed, she tried everything she could think of, but still couldn't suppress it.

"You may not be able to adapt to my method, but you can try my friend's method."

As soon as Su Yi finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to the chessboard: "Of course, before talking about the solution, let's finish the game first. I don't like to give up halfway through playing chess."

Qiu Xiaoyu was puzzled. "It's already over. It's a dead check situation now. With your chess skills, you can't fail to see that."

Two chariots were running side by side, surrounding the general. No matter where the general ran, he could not escape the pursuit.

It's already a decisive situation.

"Don't worry, this is my turn. As long as I have the pieces in my hand and the pieces haven't been dropped or the king has been lost, the game isn't over yet."

Su Yi raised his hand and picked up the rook that was parked at the diagonal left of the black room, moved the chess piece diagonally, slid directly into the general's camp, and pushed the black general out with extremely smooth movements.

Hold the captured chess piece in your hand.

"General."

"The chess game is lost, there is no solution, I win."

Faced with this kind of situation where people are cheating on the spot.

Qiu Xiaoyu couldn't help but widen her eyes and stare at the chessboard, wondering:

"Master Wushen, you are breaking the rules. How can a car be driven diagonally?"

"Even a novice chess player should know that a rook can only move in a straight line."

Su Yi didn't care at all. He put it on the lid of the chess box with a victorious attitude.

"It's true. Even a novice driver knows that a car can only go in a straight line."

"But if professional races allow tricks, why can't I? Rules are made by people, and we didn't even state the rules in the first place. From now on, the car can go diagonally."

"Of course, you don't have to admit it if you think I'm cheating."

Su Yi chuckled, raised his head, looked directly into the eyes of the girl in Hanfu in front of him, and asked in an extremely formal tone.

"Let me tell you, who won this game of chess?"

Qiu Xiaoyu's brows froze, and the two looked at each other. Faced with this completely unreasonable way of winning, she did not get angry but laughed instead. She opened her red lips, covered her mouth, and raised her head slightly, then sighed softly.

"Thank you for letting me play every move I wanted to make, even though you could have ended the game right at the beginning."

"Thank you for allowing me to play chess."

"I lost... and I lost with conviction."

"I wonder if Master Martial God could spare some time to impart his experience in chess to me. I would be very grateful."

Chapter 242 Gods Have Long Stopped Smiling at Me (6k)

At dusk, under the trees, the lake reflects the evening light, sparkling with red light, and the surroundings are magnificent.

Su Yi walked along the lakeside with one hand in his pocket, stepped on the gravel road among the people, held the Chixiao sword beside him, looked at the girl in Hanfu beside him, and said slowly.

"How much do you know about people with special abilities?"

Qiu Xiaoyu put the jade hairpin on her head again and took a half step behind him. "A human who can control energy. As for where this ability came from, I'm not sure."

Su Yi chuckled: "You are very smart, guess."

"This..." Qiu Xiaoyu held the black cat in her arms, with a look of confusion between her brows. This question has troubled many scholars in the field of supernatural powers. If she had to make a guess.

"This doesn't seem like a power that humans possess, or perhaps it's more like some kind of blessing."

Without any basis, this answer emerged in the mind of the girl in Hanfu. The appearance of superpowers was too sudden. Although the radiation energy was too magical, the degree of magic would make the awakened superpowers different for each person.

No one can figure this out.

Hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but sigh: "It's really convenient to talk to smart people, but it's a pity that you still lack some arrogance and madness, otherwise you would be very similar to our third child."

"The third one?"

"You can think of him as another friend of mine, but this time I'm not going to talk to you about him."
