Chapter 470: Let You Nine Pieces

The next day, no accident happened. When Long Xuan's new rules were posted outside the store, it immediately caused quite a stir. Passersby gathered around one after another, pointing and discussing endlessly.

Increasing the number of squares on the chessboard is an innovation in this world. Many people were really quite interested in this novel way of playing.

Of course, there were also many people who thought it was nonsense, their expressions indifferent, and the noise outside the store was endless for a time.

"Interesting! Interesting! Truly interesting! Changing the rules of Go, except for you, no one dares to think about it in this world."

"I really want to see if your improvement is reasonable or just nonsense."

A burly man pushed through the crowd and walked straight toward Long Xuan.

Seeing this person, Long Xuan cheered up. Although there were many people outside, only those qualified to trade top-grade Coffee Gu could play chess with the Chess Worm. There were really not many people who could trade top-grade Coffee Gu.

"Are you planning to trade the top-grade Coffee Gu in this store?" Looking at the man, Long Xuan asked straight to the point.

Xiong Zhan nodded and took out a black card from his storage ring, handing it to Long Xuan and saying: "Your Sleepless Gu is very good. For geniuses, cultivation time is precious. If you can save the time of sleeping for cultivation, this is undoubtedly a priceless treasure."

"I don't have much equivalent to this treasure on me. How about I exchange it with a black card? This black card of mine still has three opportunities to enter the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower to cultivate, which is enough to exchange for your Sleepless Gu."

As the words fell, a look of heartache appeared on Xiong Zhan's face.

"Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower?" Hearing this, Long Xuan thought of the monster suppressed under the black tower and couldn't help but reveal a grave expression.

At the same time, he also developed considerable interest in this black card that could enter the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower to cultivate.

The spiritual power density in the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower was truly too high. Cultivating inside, the cultivation realm would be a thousand miles a day.

The most critical thing was that the spiritual power quality in the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower was extremely high. Once absorbed and refined, one would obtain infinite benefits.

He really wanted to enter the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower to rush the bottleneck of the peak Spirit Sea Stage, and would never come out again without breaking through the peak Spirit Sea Stage.

However, could these three opportunities to enter the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower to cultivate really be worth the value of a top-grade Gu worm? He didn't know anything about the cultivation effect in this tower, and couldn't help but reveal a look of doubt, slowly looking at Zhu Jiuge.

Zhu Jiuge and him had a tacit understanding. Seeing his gaze, she knew what he was thinking and said: "Cultivating in the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower can temper spiritual power quality. The improvement of spiritual power quality can produce higher attack power, and breaking through major realms will also be easier. For you, it is worth it."

Xiong Zhan glanced at her, sneering in his heart. This Zhu Jiuge was a genius, could easily climb to the

She was afraid she had forgotten that for most ordinary geniuses, ascending to the second floor of the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower was already an extremely difficult matter, and even geniuses qualified to ascend to the ninth floor could not hold on for very long.

Everything has its pros and cons. Although the spiritual power within the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower is of high quality, it is also too violent and extremely difficult to refine; it is by no means something that ordinary people can easily absorb.

If the talent is insufficient, people who stay in the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower for a long time will be seriously injured by the violent spiritual power. The higher the floor, the more serious this situation is, and the harder it is to persist.

This shopkeeper is a rookie who has never entered the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower to cultivate. How long can he persist after entering?

These three opportunities to enter the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower to cultivate will be used up by him before long.

Exchanging a top-grade Gu worm for three opportunities to enter the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower is not just a loss; it's a total disaster.

He originally wanted to try to fool this shopkeeper, not daring to guarantee success, but he did not expect this Zhu Jiuge to actually give him a helping hand.

Long Xuan would certainly not doubt what Zhu Jiuge said. For what this innocent girl said, he trusted her unconditionally.

Since she said it was worth it, Long Xuan felt relieved and took the black card. "Okay, we have a deal. According to the rules of this shop, you must play a game of chess with my Chess Gu. You have no objections, right?" Long Xuan added.

"Of course I have no objections. I really want to experience what it's like to play Go on a large chessboard! This innovation is really quite interesting."

Xiong Zhan was full of interest and immediately walked to the table where the nineteen-route chessboard was placed and sat down.

And opposite the table, that Chess Gu had already sat upright. Seeing someone walk over, it finally opened its eyes. After looking the person up and down, the nine black pieces opposite the chessboard flew high and arranged themselves into a nine-palace formation on the chessboard.

Seeing this scene, Long Xuan showed a strange expression. After a dry cough, he said unnaturally, "It says that you are not familiar with the new Go rules and it is your first time playing on a large chessboard."

"So it doesn't want to bully you and wants to give you a nine-stone handicap."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiong Zhan's face immediately turned black, and he roared angrily, "Too much deception! You little bug, you actually don't put your Uncle Xiong in your eyes!"

"Your Uncle Xiong is from the Chess Academy. You have found the wrong person to act arrogant in front of me!"

"Let's start! I want to see how much you are worth, you bug, to dare to be so arrogant!"

As his voice fell, the Chess Gu took the white pieces and immediately placed the first move on the chessboard.

Although Xiong Zhan's expression was angry, he was very cautious at this time. After thinking for a while, he finally placed his black piece.

This game concerned his dignity and he must not lose. If he could lose even with a nine-stone handicap, he might as well find a piece of tofu and hit his head against it. He would definitely be ridiculed by all the students in the academy, and he could not afford to lose that face.

Therefore, this game was crucial to him, and he prepared to use all his strength to play this game, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

At this time, people outside the door also flooded in frantically, enthusiastically surrounding the chessboard to watch this game, surrounding it airtight.

Everyone was curious about the way of playing on the large chessboard, especially the arrogant move of the bug wanting to give the opponent a nine-stone handicap, which aroused no small interest in them.

However, as they watched, everyone became solemn, and the expressions on their faces began to become more and more serious.

Saint Gu City has four major inheritances: zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Influenced by this, basically everyone in the city knows how to play chess, and their level of chess is very high.

An expert knows if there is one as soon as they make a move.

At first, they didn't feel it, but after truly watching the way of playing nineteen-route chess, they immediately realized that this way of playing was not simple.

Undoubtedly, nineteen-route chess is much, much more interesting than seventeen-route chess.

A larger chessboard brings more changes and will undoubtedly be more brain-consuming.

The rules of nineteen-route chess are also more perfect and fairer than seventeen-route chess.

Undoubtedly, the way of playing nineteen-route chess has already crushed seventeen-route chess in all aspects.

What does this mean? Everyone gasped and dared not think further.

Once nineteen-route chess comes out, chess enthusiasts will be more willing to play nineteen-route chess. As time goes on, there will be no more seventeen-route chess in the world. This is the thought in everyone's heart at this time. The chess world is afraid that it will change soon. (End of chapter)
