Ten Days End

Qi Xia led the six people behind him to the far left end, then reached out and twisted the doorknob.

The door looked light and opened with a push.

Everyone looked inside carefully. There was still a not very long corridor inside the door. Everyone was now standing at the end of the corridor, looking at the other end.

On the left side of the corridor was a bare, tall white wall, and on the right side of the wall was another row of doors.

These doors were painted red, and there were also three or four meters each, a total of five.

Chen Junnan looked inside and then nodded: "Is this our "preparation area"? "

Everyone was confused about the situation and could only walk into the corridor. When everyone entered, the black door behind them also closed with a "bang".

Qi Xia took a few steps forward and came to the center of the corridor. He found an old electronic screen on the wall on the left hand side. On the electronic screen, a scale that was shaking left and right was painted with rough pixels.

He reached out and touched the electronic screen. It felt similar to the equipment used in the previous "selection of generals". It should be able to write.

And on the wall just above the electronic screen, a square piece of black metal was exposed. It was about the same size as an ordinary tablet computer, with five words written on it:

"Phoenix Holding Book Table".

Qi Xia reached out and touched it. It felt cold. He didn't know what it was for.

"Everyone, welcome to "Cangjie Chess". "

A hoarse sound with electricity sounded. Everyone looked up and saw that the wall here was very high and there was no roof.

And a speaker was hanging far above the wall. The sound should have come from the speaker.

"Next, everyone will play a two-hour game in my venue." Dilong said, holding the intercom, "First, the winning rules-one side can get 28 "words" first within two hours, and it will be considered the winner. If 28 "words" are not obtained within the specified time, the "words" formed by both sides will be presented on the scale, and the one with more "words" will win. "

"Get twenty-eight characters...?" Neither Chu Tianqiu nor Qi Xia understood the meaning of this sentence immediately.

"Legends say that "Cangjie created characters." "Dilong said, "But the actual situation is that Cangjie sorted and reorganized the characters commonly used in the market at that time and formed his own system. Legend has it that Cangjie once wrote "twenty-eight characters". And now you need to follow Cangjie's example."

As soon as the voice fell, the black metal with "Phoenix Holding Book Table" in front of Chu Tianqiu and Qi Xia moved, and then slowly opened, revealing the contents like an open safe.

Qi Xia reached out and took it, and heard a "clattering" sound, and a large string of metal products was taken out.

The people around him slowly gathered around and took a closer look at the string of things. It turned out to be a string of small things that looked like a key ring and a necklace.

Qi Xia reached out and split it. There were a total of seven chains, and each chain had a unique "necklace", which looked like words.

After careful identification, these characters are "bing", "pao", "che", "ma", "xiang", "shi", and "shuai".

"Ah...?" Chen Junnan and Han Yimo exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Isn't this the character on chess?" Chen Junnan picked up a chain at random and found that the chain was a little different from what he imagined.

Some characters are hung on the chain as a whole, and some characters are divided into two parts.

For example, "ma", "che", and "shi" are all carved from a whole piece of black and gray metal.

But "pao", "xiang", and "shuai" are divided into two characters according to the radicals on the left and right sides, but they are still hung on the same chain.

For example, "pao" is hung with "huo" and "bao", while "xiang" is hung with "mu" and "mu".

The most special one is the character "bing", which is divided into a "qiu" and an "ba" and hung together according to the upper and lower parts. If you don't look carefully, you can't think that this is a "bing" character.

At this time, Dilong's broadcast sounded again: "Now both sides should have received your "initial characters". Please distribute them freely. When the game officially starts, everyone must have "characters". Those without "characters" can only stand in the "preparation area" and wait until they have characters before they can enter the "battlefield area". "

"Free distribution..." Qi Xia muttered for a while, and then took up the characters in his hand and looked at them again.

"In the next period of time, these "characters" are your chips." Dilong said, "You can snatch the "characters" from anyone, and you can also freely "gamble" in the "battlefield area". We have prepared many "gambles" and "referees" for you. In short... You can use any method and any means to get the other party's "characters" into your pocket. "

Before everyone understood this rule, and felt something strange above.

Looking up, Qinglong had already leaped up with Dilong and stood on a dark place.

There seemed to be an invisible dark platform there, blending into the dark environment.

"Hey!" Chen Junnan looked up and shouted, "Sister Long, does getting a "word" count as one point?"

"Of course not." Dilong's voice sounded again in the broadcast, "Both sides can only score by the "head coach". In other words, no matter how many "words" you get or what kind of "words" you get, you need to send it to the "head coach" as soon as possible. "

Qi Xia looked up and asked, "Can we exchange "words" in the middle?"

"No, only when you lose a "word" can you assign the extra "words" in your hand to the vacant person. "

Qi Xia nodded slightly after hearing this.

Di Long said again: "The commander will place all the "radicals" or individual characters he got on the black metal with "Phoenix Book Table" written on it behind you, or combine them or place them as a whole to get one point. But it should be noted that the entire "preparation area" cannot store "characters" after the game starts, and the "commander" must hand over "characters" other than his own to his subordinates. "

Seeing that everyone was still quiet, Di Long could only say again: "Since this is the first time to run "Cangjie Chess", the "commanders" of both sides can try it out once and pick up their own "pawns" and put them on the metal. "

Qi Xia frowned after hearing this, feeling that he had caught the key point from this passage.

Then he came to his senses, picked up a character with "soldier" written on it and approached the black metal. The next second, he felt a magnetic force, and "Qiu" and "Ba" were both sucked onto the metal.

The display screen under the metal also flashed at this moment, and a sentence lit up:

"We have received the prototype of the word "兵", please write down the homophone."

"Homophone..." Qi Xia frowned.

"You should have discovered it." Dilong explained, "In order to prevent the "commander" from combining a large number of difficult "uncommon characters" to take shortcuts, you need to recognize and read every word written. "

"Uncommon characters"..." Qi Xia nodded, "I see..."

If the rules are not restricted, it is very likely that the commander will hold the existing characters in front of the screen and keep trying, combining strange characters such as "骉" and "䀠". These "characters" cannot test knowledge, but are just luck.

Then Qi Xia stretched out his hand and wrote down the homophone of "兵" - "冰".

After another flash, the screen showed:

"Creation success".
