Chapter 318: 268. Set up a hundred-meter chessboard to checkmate 'Da Zhang' with the moves of Chinese chess_2
"I don't know..."
Goose Goose shook its head, looking at Zi Ji with a confused expression.
The first two answers it had given were based on "life experience," but this one truly stumped it.
The panel flashed again with a green light.
Lin Yi, looking at the three-letter answer, said with a strange expression, "Answer correct, the answer is 'I don't know'."
???
Bi Ji: (☉_☉)
Everyone: (꒪Д꒪)
This actually works?! But come to think of it, "I don't know" can indeed reasonably answer any question.
Crying out loud, what kind of intelligence quiz is this!
Everyone was amazed to discover their intelligence was unexpectedly not up to par with that of a goose!
Previously, they had all laughed at its stupidity...
Bi Ji had just realized that she had actually correctly answered three questions and immediately held her head high in pride, hmpf, see who dares to call Goose Goose dumb now!
Lin Yi picked up the Golden Light Sphere in his hand, and the panel displayed the randomly awarded reward.
[Three Lifesaving Feathers]
The three lifesaving feathers given by Guanyin Bodhisattva to Son Goku?
To be honest, the reward was quite precious.
Because the very purpose of the three lifesaving feathers was to rescue Son Goku from dangerous situations he couldn't escape from on his own.
Son Goku had remarkable abilities; it went without saying. What kind of predicament that he couldn't escape from on his own had to be extremely dangerous, but the three lifesaving feathers could save him, underlining their immense power.
Lin Yi held the Golden Light Sphere in his hand, then flicked it towards Zi Ji.
After merging with the light sphere, three purple-black strands of hair suddenly sprung up on top of Zi Ji's head.
Bi Ji turned to look, even flicked them with her finger, the strands of hair bouncing continuously, amusing her to fits of giggles.
But Zi Ji quickly realized a problem, her Gold Intermediate reward was just three strands of hair?
"These three strands of hair are named Lifesaving Feathers, representing three abilities, not treasures. They are the treasured possessions of Son Goku, the very skills that have saved Son Goku from peril."
Zi Ji was startled, Son Goku!
This character had been mentioned more than once!
The moment he appeared, the whole of Soul Land was on the brink of collapse, rumored to be a warrior god from another dimension.
Last time, Dai Ben received Son Goku's item, the Tiger Skin Skirt.
But with this reward's introduction, as put by Lin Yi, Son Goku's treasured possession, not a mere item, its value was unimaginable.
Zi Ji touched the three strands of hair on top of her head somewhat overwhelmed; they were stiff and springy, and she immediately knelt down excitedly to thank Lin Yi.
"Get up."
"This reward is indeed precious, perhaps it's because you got the third question right that you were randomly awarded something so nice."
Hearing this, Zi Ji again happily hugged Bi Ji, vigorously planting a kiss on her other cheek.
Guanyin Bodhisattva had promised Son Goku that these three hairs were to be used in times of great suffering, with abilities that would call upon heaven and earth for aid.
Lin Yi had read the original tale thoroughly, so he remembered this well.
...
Zi Ji's attack had ended, now it was Di Tian's turn.
Zi Ji stepped down, and Di Tian walked up the steps to the platform.
"Greetings, Golden Dragon Lord!"
Di Tian bowed respectfully.
Lin Yi, while sorting rewards in the System Space, said, "I heard you once stole and ate a Wind Demon Eagle's egg, how did it taste?"
"I..."
Di Tian, his face turning beet red with embarrassment, replied, "Just so-so, my mind is now filled with over a hundred ways to cook that egg. Eating it roasted was really a waste."
Lin Yi knew that Di Tian now had the cooking skills of the God of Food and should be the best chef at the scene.
"Begin your attack."
After sorting out the day's rewards, Lin Yi told Di Tian.
"As you command."
Di Tian lowered his right arm, and a black light sphere quickly enveloped his entire arm.
Dense and heavy black scales rapidly covered his arm. The muscle contours beneath the scales resembled steel castings, with the fingers elongating and thickening. Pitch-black, sharp claws extended from the fingertips, each gleaming with a cold luster.
The sky began to fill with dark clouds, and the azure heavens were suddenly shrouded in gloom.
Di Tian looked up, his claws rippling with multicolored light that grew increasingly blinding—
"If you're going to attack, just attack. What's with changing the weather?"
Lin Yi suddenly interrupted Di Tian.
Everyone was startled for a moment.
Di Tian scratched his head, his expression incredibly awkward, "Ah? I...I just thought it would make things a bit more imposing. Fine, I'll change it back..."
The dark clouds in the sky dissolved, returning to a clear day.
Di Tian wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Ah, my painstakingly created imposing scene! Senior Lin Yi destroyed it with a single sentence!
The Dragon God Claw was raised high, and within the radiance of nine colors, the majestic visage of a dragon's head emerged.
This was not the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, but the Dragon God.
"Boom!"
Five razor-sharp claws simultaneously slashed towards Lin Yi, each carrying an unstoppable force with exceptional sharpness, capable of cutting through all but gold.
After the attack, Di Tian stepped back; damage rebound at their level could easily blast a human Ultimate Douluo into smithereens.
Di Tian's right claw once again shimmered with multicolored light, his face stern, each black scale glinting with the hardness of steel.
The Golden Storm bombarded furiously, and Di Tian took a step forward. The sovereign visage of the Dragon God peered out angrily, its right claw enveloped in the multicolored light, shattering the damage rebound into countless fragments.
Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Health Lost:703698]
[Remaining Health:899922203671]
[Damage Level: Gold (Novice)]
[Random Reward: Chess Step Kill]
[Host Reward: Chess Step Kill (No Critical)]
Chess Step Kill? The words "kill" piqued Lin Yi's interest.
Unbeknownst to him, Di Tian's damage had reached seven hundred thousand. Although still at the Gold Novice reward level, the quality of rewards within the same tier varied with the amount of damage.
Within the same tier of rewards, the higher the damage number, the better the random reward received.
With the damage exceeding seven hundred thousand, Lin Yi had reason to believe this reward ranked high within its category.
He frowned slightly as he looked at the System's explanation.
This reward was indeed interesting.
Lin Yi said to Di Tian, "Damage 703698, Gold Novice level. The reward you've obtained is Chess Step Kill."
Last time Di Tian's Dragon God Claw was imbued with the darkness element, and this time he had added the light element, making the radiance of nine colors even more distinct.
But he hadn't expected to actually push the damage to seven hundred thousand.
He was now firmly seated as the second highest in the history of damage records, with Gu Yuena holding the first place.
However, Di Tian couldn't understand a single word of the reward's name.
"Do you know how to play chess?"
Lin Yi asked Di Tian as he read the System's notes.
"I have never heard of it... this, please enlighten me, Golden Dragon Lord."
Was there no chess in Soul Land, or had Di Tian, as a ferocious beast, never heard of it?
Lin Yi hadn't anticipated this and simply flicked the golden light sphere towards Di Tian.
"You don't need me to explain. Once you merge with the reward, you will automatically master the way to play chess in your mind,"
Di Tian nodded, watching the golden light sphere enter his body.
Lin Yi then introduced the reward.
"The full name of the reward is: Chess Step Kill."
"When you use it, your position will be the commander's spot, and you will have five seconds to set up a hundred-meter square chessboard."
"Once the chessboard is successfully established, no one, including gods, will be able to leave the hundred-meter square area of the chessboard, and you can play any chess piece in the game, whether it be from the red or the black side."
"You can use teleporting to instantly take on the role of a pawn, knight, rook, cannon, or elephant. Observe the enemy's position on the chessboard before the fight, then decide which piece you will be. Once decided, teleport to that piece's position and, using the movement pattern of that piece, capture the opponent. This is considered a kill."
"Here, a kill will disregard the opponent's cultivation level. Even if the opponent is a god, they will be struck dead in one hit."
