I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 336: Planning

"Hey, Shen Guiling lost a game of chess and got angry?"

Shen Guiling was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Huotuozi tugging at Shen Mianzhi's hand and rubbing against him. "See? His chess character is like his character. Everyone says he has a bad temper."

Shen Mianzhi smiled awkwardly, "Brother A Ling."

Last night everyone had a great time eating and partying until very late. In order not to disturb everyone, Su Zhuo took Su Miao back to the hotel to rest, while Shen Mianzhi stayed in the same room with Jiang Huashan.

Shen Guiling smiled and nodded, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"I woke up at this hour because I slept so soundly." Shen Mianzhi felt a little embarrassed and looked around. "Why don't I see Brother Lan Xi?"

Shen Guiling bent down to collect the chess pieces. "He's out. There's breakfast in the kitchen."

Shen Mianzhi stared at the chess piece in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said expectantly, "Brother A Ling, can I play a game of chess with you?"

In fact, she is also very knowledgeable about chess. Everyone says that Shen Guiling is very good, and she has always wanted to find an opportunity to compete with him. However, she always felt that she was not qualified enough, so she never dared to ask.

Shen Guiling glanced at her and happily responded, "Of course."

Shen Mianzhi's face was full of excitement, and he knelt in front of the chessboard, eager to try.

Jiang Huashan ran into the kitchen, took a corn, and broke it in half. "Okay, eat it while I'm cooking."

"Thank you." Shen Mianzhi took the corn and looked at Shen Guiling with shining eyes, "Brother A Ling, please don't let me."

Shen Guiling hesitated slightly, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Shen Mianzhi was full of confidence, "I want to verify my true level."

Three minutes later.

"..."

The situation was deadlocked, the chess pieces were almost saved, but the king's life was no longer safe.

Shen Mianzhi silently took the first bite of corn, feeling somewhat unwilling, "Can you do it again?"

Shen Guiling nodded.

This time it lasted a little longer, but it only lasted five minutes. These five minutes were extended because Shen Mianzhi spent more time thinking.

"..."

Jiang Huashan took the last bite of corn and patted Shen Mianzhi's shoulder with a very experienced look. "Want to beat him? I have a way."

Shen Mianzhi was a little depressed at first, but her eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, "Really?"

Only when you actually play against him can you feel how abnormal Shen Guiling's control over the overall situation is. It is not that easy to beat him.

Shen Guiling twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'm a little curious now."

Jiang Huashan wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, "Playing open chess is so boring. Let's play hidden chess."

Shen Guiling, "Wild ways?"

"What do you mean by unconventional? Rules are made by humans, so why should we stick to the rules when playing chess?"

This statement made people agree, Shen Guiling nodded, "That makes sense."

Jiang Huashan turned all the chess pieces over and shuffled them, and arranged them neatly in the squares on the same side of the chessboard.

"I'm red, you're black. Right now, we don't know whether these pieces are red or black. We'll sort them in order, starting with the general. Higher-ranked pawns can capture lower-ranked ones, and the smallest pawns can encircle and attack the general. Everyone takes turns flipping the pieces. Whether it's yours or your opponent's is entirely up to luck. There's no regrets in your moves."

"Oh, I forgot to mention, there's a special rule. If you flip out the cannon, you can capture chess pieces from a distance, but whether you capture your own or someone else's is up to luck."

Shen Guiling smiled and said, "I see. So your strategy is to rely solely on luck in the face of absolute strength."

Jiang Huashan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Superficial."

Shen Mianzhi agreed, "I think it sounds interesting."

Shen Guiling, "Who starts first?"

"Of course I go first." Without waiting for Shen Guiling to react, Jiang Huashan took the initiative and turned over the chess piece in the middle.

Luckily, it turned out to be a red cannon.

"Ah!" Shen Mianzhi looked excited.

Shen Guiling didn't expect that she was so lucky. She chose a corner and turned out a red elephant.

"Hey~" Jiang Huashan used the red cannon to capture a chess piece from a distance.

Shen Mianzhi grabbed her and said, "Just eat it like that. What if it's a friendly force?"

Jiang Huashan waved her hand and said, "Since there are rules for cannons, it means that it is one of the important winning factors in chess. Luck can be good or bad. Since this bet is about luck, we will only bet on luck." After that, she turned over the chess piece in her hand, and the black general appeared in her palm.

Shen Mianzhi looked surprised, and even Shen Guiling was slightly stunned.

"You see, we're lucky." Jiang Huashan smiled, "It's your turn."

The chessboard was in chaos. Jiang Huashan used a cannon in his hand to fire from across the board, leaving the opponent's black chess pieces with no room to fight back.

This kind of chess game required no brainpower at all, and the battle was over in two minutes, leaving Shen Mianzhi stunned.

Jiang Huashan took the corn from Shen Mianzhi's hand and took a bite, seemingly casually. "Don't exhaust yourself in the field that others excel in, because you will never win in their field. We can change our thinking, change the rules, or change the battlefield. Then you will find that the opponent is completely vulnerable."

Of course, she couldn't say such words. In her memory, an old man picked up the chess piece that had fallen on the ground with a helpless look on his face. "Don't be angry, grandpa will teach you another way to win, okay?"

Shen Mianzhi is smart but not cunning enough, so learning some roundabout ways will only benefit her and not harm her.

Shen Guiling looked at the girl opposite thoughtfully.

"Ding-dong-"

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Shen Mianzhi immediately stood up to open the door. Su Zhuo was originally standing behind Su Miao. When he saw that it was Shen Mianzhi who opened the door, he immediately pushed Su Miao behind him.

"Miaomiao and I are planning to return to Whale Harbor, so I wanted to come and say goodbye to everyone. Will... disturb your rest?"

Su Miao looked at the figure in front of her, who was wider than the door panel, and was speechless. Hey! She came to say goodbye!

Shen Mianzhi smiled politely, "No, come in and tell me."

Su Zhuo immediately followed in and locked Su Miao outside the door.

Su Miao, “…”

*

When Su Miao came in again, she didn't want to pay any attention to Su Zhuo at all. She directly pulled Jiang Huashan into the bedroom to talk in private.

Originally, she wanted to stay and sleep with Jiang Huashan last night, but Su Zhuo insisted that it was against etiquette and dragged her to the hotel. She thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure it out. What was so against etiquette for several girls to sleep together?

When she was asked the reason, she almost died of anger.

Su Zhuo said seriously, "You have a bad sleeping posture. Not only do you like to kick the quilt, but you also talk in your sleep. This will affect Miss Shen's rest."

Su Miao angrily slammed the door shut. "It's over. I didn't expect that our Su family's heir would be such a love-brained person. Grandpa is so miserable."

Jiang Huashan suppressed a smile and asked, "Are you going back?"

Su Miao restrained her expression and nodded seriously, "Some things must be faced eventually. I can't hide away forever."

Jiang Huashan thought for a moment and waved towards Su Miao, "That's perfect. I have something I want to ask of you."

"..."

in the living room.

Su Zhuo sat upright, his eyes occasionally glancing at Shen Mianzhi and then moving away without leaving a trace.

Shen Guiling watched it all without saying a word.

At this moment, Lei Xing walked in from outside, "Master."

Shen Guiling stood up and said, "Mianzhi, I have some things to take care of. Please help me entertain Brother Azhuo."

Shen Zhuo was stunned, his heart jumping into his throat.

Shen Mianzhi nodded and looked at Su Zhuo with a smile, "Brother Zhuo, can you play chess?"

He calmed himself down in front of Shen Zhuo and said, "Yes, but I'm not good at it."

Shen Mianzhi learned her lesson this time. "It's okay, I'm not very good at it either."

On the other side, Lei Xing followed Shen Guiling to the study to discuss matters.

"Master, everyone in the hotel has evacuated."

Shen Guiling didn't respond, so Lei Xing continued, "Master, I'm sorry. Gao Zhi must have discovered that I deliberately got him drunk last night."

"..." Shen Guiling had never expected that Lei Xing would blame himself for this. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How did you know you were exposed?"

Lei Xing immediately took out his phone and said, "Look, he blocked me."

Shen Guiling glanced at him, his eyes calm.

At this moment, a new prompt suddenly popped up on the interface.

The other party has added you as a friend again.

Lei Xing was confused and looked at Shen Guiling in confusion, "Master, what does Gao Zhi mean by this?"

Shen Guiling turned to look at the harbor outside the window, thought for a moment and said, "Ask him out for a drink."

"Ah?" Although Lei Xing didn't understand why the young master would do something he knew would be rejected, he still obeyed his orders.

Meanwhile, the presidential suite.

Gao Zhi handed over his phone with a stern expression, "Master, that idiot invited us to drink again. Does he think we are fools?!"

Shen Lanxi took a quick look and said, "Let him choose the place."
