Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

After about ten minutes.

"Your minister is stopped by my soldiers, your knight is surrounded by my lions and elephants, your king is thirteen squares away, and your clown is stuck exactly in the corner formed by monkeys and farmers, Now I just need to push the leopard forward..."

While speaking, the clown picked up the white clown chess piece that belonged to Li Cha, threw it out of the chessboard, and said slowly: "Passerby, you seem to have lost."

"Indeed." Li Cha nodded after hearing the clown's words, neither angry nor surprised. To be honest, if he wins, then there is a problem. After all, he hasn't even fully understood the rules, so how can he not lose?

but……

Li Cha raised his head, looked at the clown, and said, "Let's play another game."

"Okay." The clown readily accepted, quickly placed the chess pieces, and then moved them.

"Papa papa papa..."

Chess pieces are picked up, chess pieces are dropped, and dialogue sounds from time to time.

"...my tiger caught your chimpanzee, passerby..."

"...Mr. Clown, but my knight will arrive soon..."

"...It doesn't matter, I still have elephants..."

"...Then I also have a lion..."

"... Passers-by, let me remind you that the number of your animal chess pieces in this area is about to exceed the limit. It will cause a wave of small animals, and you will suffer heavy losses. This is how you lost last time..."

"...Mr. Clown, thank you for your reminder. Actually, I did this on purpose."

The clown was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Huh? On purpose?"

"Yes, on purpose." Richard said, pushing the lion's pawn forward, "The beast tide ignores the enemy and will block off this area. In this way, your superior force will be separated from the main battlefield. My human team The pawns can cut in from here and catch your clown who has only his last life left..."

"But my clown can go this way."

"Your animal chess piece, the buffalo, blocks the way."

"I can remove the buffalo and put it here."

"very good,

In this case, the number of your animal pieces will also be over the limit, which will trigger a wave of small animals, and your clown pieces will be blocked in the corner. My knight pawn jumps here, and you're... dead. Well, you're dead... your own pawn, your own advantage, killed yourself, that's it, Mr. Clown. "

As he spoke, Li Cha picked up the black clown chess piece and placed it outside the chessboard.

"this--"

The clown froze.

After being stunned for a long while, the clown finally spoke out, and said slowly: "It's really a little surprising that you won a game so quickly, and in this way. Now, we each have one win and one loss. , it was a tie. If you want to decide the outcome, then...then there will be another round. What do you think, passer-by?" At the end, the clown looked at Li Cha.

Li Cha did not refuse, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay." The clown nodded, set up the chess pieces again, put the many black and white chess pieces back to their original positions, and continued to move.

This time, the clown looked much more serious, and his offensive was much stronger. He frequently moved the chess pieces at the beginning of the game, and divided them into several ways to advance towards Li Cha's chess pieces.

Li Cha tried his best to support the line of defense, but in the end he was defeated and was breached by the clown's exquisite manipulation. Next, the clown began to crazily eat the ball without any emotion, leaving no chance for Li Cha to fight back.

"Your elephant is dead."

"Your tiger is dead."

"Your minister is dead."

"Your clown died the first time, and is about to die the second time."

While the clown was talking, he threw the eaten pieces out of the chessboard, and the chessboard gradually became empty. Both the clown and Li Cha's chess pieces were decreasing, but the speed of the clown's chess pieces was obviously much slower.

So when the clown's black chess pieces were half left, Li Cha's chess pieces were already very few. When one-third of the clown's chess pieces were left, Li Cha's chess pieces were only left with a solitary clown.

Li Cha controlled the last clown chess piece to move continuously, but was finally surrounded by groups.

"It's over, this is a victory that will definitely not have any surprises." The clown said, announcing the result, "It is now two to one, and I won."

Li Cha shrugged and clapped his hands out of politeness: "Mr. Clown is really powerful."

"Actually, you are also very good." The clown looked over and said in a gentle voice, "It is very rare to be able to quickly familiarize yourself with the rules and win the second set. You belong to the smart people among smart people. But ..." At the end, the clown paused slightly.

Li Cha raised his eyebrows, realized the important point, and said, "Mr. Clown seems to want to say something?"

"Well, I have some feelings."

"what is it then?"

After hearing this, the clown looked at it with serious eyes: "What I want to say is that you are obviously very intelligent, far surpassing many people. But the more intelligent you are, the more you should know how to be humble. After all, a person's wisdom It is limited, it is impossible to know everything, and it is impossible to solve everything with one's own wisdom alone.

Just like the clown chess we played just now, you may win a game, but you still lose in a big score. This is an example. Faced with this situation, I think it is necessary for you to look at everything around you with a relatively low attitude. What do you think? "

"I think?" Li Cha smiled lightly, "I think, I seem to have heard of Mr. Clown's words somewhere. Well, let me think about it, it seems to be in a library."

"That's right." The clown's tone didn't change much. "That might be a coincidence. Of course, it's also possible. This is the right thing to say, that's why someone keeps telling you, passer-by."

Li Cha smiled without saying a word.

The clown noticed something and said: "Why, passer-by, do you think what I said is wrong, I don't agree that people should be humble?"

"Of course not." Richard shook his head. "Humility is a virtue, and learning to be humble is a kind of progress. I don't object. It's just that I think it has a certain scope of application, but it doesn't apply to the current situation."

"Huh? It doesn't apply now?" The clown raised his tone slightly, looking at Li Cha and asked, "Passer, do you think that if you win a game of clown chess without fully familiarizing yourself with the rules, you can prove your strength?" You're smart. And losing to me by a big score was due to too short contact time and some negligence, so given you enough time, you can definitely beat me, right?"

"If you really think so, then I have to tell you the truth." The clown's voice became serious, "That is, the reason why you won the second game was because I deliberately lost to you—the situation on the chessboard It's all about me. I can win or lose any way I want if I want to, and you'll never beat me at clown chess."

Li Cha laughed and said, "Mr. Clown, actually... I know that you deliberately lost to me in the second set."

Um? ()
