Chapter 175： Trophies—Psychic Sandbox

Chapter 175 Spoils of War—Psychic Sandbox

 Looking at the sand table showing a draw, Lambert suddenly felt a little dazed.

 A week ago, Tina was a military novice who couldn’t even distinguish between the types of troops;

A week later, Tina was able to tie with him in the "war game".

  Is this the legendary “talent” that can be learned to this extent in a week?

Su Yu stood aside and watched the chess game.

In addition to Su Yu, there was another person watching in the war chess room. He was the president of the war chess association—Mir Jean.

 Mir Jean immediately rushed to the chess room after receiving the news of Lambert's arrival.

Just in time, he saw the scene where Lambert and Tina were tied.

As an old friend for many years, he immediately laughed out loud: "Haha, Lambo, can you do it? Are you tied with a little girl who just learned to play chess? It's too embarrassing. Don't say I know you when you go out!"

"What do you know?" Lambert glared at him fiercely: "If it were you, you might not be Tina's opponent!"

Lambert is very confident in his chess skills, he is better than Mir.

 Since Tina can tie with him, it will definitely be no problem to defeat Mir.

"Just her?" Mir Jean said with an expression of "You're kidding me": "How can she, a beginner, defeat me, the president of the Chess Association? Are you kidding me!"

“What if I can win?” Tina on the other side of the sand table smiled kindly.

She blinked her big, harmless eyes and asked, "How about we make a bet?"

 “What do you want to bet on?”

“Let’s play nine games of chess and win five out of nine games. If I win, I want this ‘psionic sandbox’.”

 Tina was greatly influenced by Su Yu. She always wanted to bet on anything she was confident about to increase her profits.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, Tina has almost turned into Su Yu's shape after hanging out with Su Yu for too long.

"The little girl is quite confident!" Mil Jean couldn't help but look at Tina a few more times: "What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I will donate 1 million psychic coins to the War Chess Association for sandbox maintenance fees." Tina's expression remained unchanged, as if the 1 million were paper.

"One million?" Mir Jean was moved: "Okay then, it's a deal!"

Witnessed by Lambo and Su Yu, the chess game between Tina and Mir officially began.

According to Tina's request, this duel will be a best-of-nine game system, and a draw will not count.

 In the first two games, Tina was defeated without any suspense.

However, Tina learned a lot of experience from the defeat and also understood some of Mir's routines.

 In the fourth game, the two sides gradually became even.

In the seventh game, Tina made a dangerous move in a battle for a stronghold and used the classic "corridor tactic" to win.

The next war game became a one-sided crushing.

Tina's tactics are unconstrained and smooth.

And Mir's mentality became increasingly depressed after experiencing several failures. The most commonly used routines were repeatedly seen through by Tina and therefore failed to work.

Finally in the evening, Tina left the War Chess Association with her trophy, the psychic sandbox, and returned to the Unicorn Barracks.

 …

Walking on the road, Tina was still a little unfinished about the military chess battle just now.

She said softly to Su Yu beside her: "Nemesis, with this psychic sandbox in the future, we can do more new tricks at night, so we don't have to study boringly all the time."

 “Forget it, I don’t want to play this with you.” Su Yu shrugged.

Su Yu also played a lot of "war chess games" in his previous life, because many hidden tasks were involved, and he had to master some of them.

 But compared to Tina's level, he is far behind. Su Yu's confrontation with Tina now is like a Go lover versus an Alpha dog. He has no interest in seeking abuse.

 …

 Back at the residence in the military camp, Tina asked the porters to place the sand table in the hall of the residence.

This psychic sand table is 3 meters wide and about 5 meters long. There is no place to put it except in the hall.

 Fortunately, as the commander of the army, the residence assigned to Tina was large enough, otherwise it would be impossible to fit such a big thing.

 It was getting very late after placing the sand table.

Tina paid the porters their wages.

After the porters left, she couldn't help but stretch her body: "Nemesis, I'm going to take a shower first, and we'll go back to the room to continue studying later."

 Every night for the past week, Tina and Su Yu would study all night until dawn. She was used to this kind of life.

As for sleeping, after being promoted to level five, her energy is almost unlimited and she doesn't need to sleep at all.

Su Yu shook his head: "Tina, you have already graduated from school, so you don't need me to study with you in the future."

Tina was slightly startled: "Is this so?"

 She suddenly felt a little reluctance in her heart, and her nemesis was unwilling to accompany her. Reading alone was boring.

 I should have learned slower if I had known earlier.

 …

Su Yu took out a small notebook from his backpack and looked at Tina seriously: "Tina, after you leave the army, have you ever thought about going through an actual combat to test your learning achievements these days?"

 Now the 23rd ring of the main line has ended, and the scene battle of the 25th ring is not far away. Of course, Su Yu had to find a way to arrange a scenario battle for Tina.

  And after the 25th ring, he can get the rewards of the first stage of the main line!

 The rewards in the first stage are definitely very good!

Su Yu is very much looking forward to what he will get this time.

 …

Hearing Su Yu's words, Tina was slightly stunned: "Test learning results with actual combat?"

She touched her chin: "Well... it's not impossible, but the surrounding area of ​​Oran City is very peaceful at present, and there is no chance of actual combat?"

After all, Oran City is in the rear of the empire. It is currently very peaceful. It does not have many combat opportunities like the front line. Moreover, it is impossible for her to mobilize the army to the front line without the permission of His Majesty the Emperor and Her Royal Highness.

"It's okay. I've already found a training target for you." Su Yu replied: "There is a bandit camp in the 'Red Ridge Mountain' 30 kilometers east of Oran City. How about using it to practice?"

 “Bandits?” Tina lowered her head, lost in thought.

 She had heard about the bandit camp in Redridge Mountains.

Redridge Mountain is located on the traffic artery northeast of Oran City. Merchants from Oran City must pass through Redridge Mountain if they want to trade with the empire's central cities such as Forest City and the imperial capital Plantagenet City via land.

 At present, bandits are rampant in the Redridge Mountains and have robbed many caravans passing by.

But this group of bandits is very bad, specializing in robbing small caravans and passers-by, and staying away from the caravans of big nobles and big businessmen.

 Coupled with the current turbulent situation, the lord of Oran City did not have the energy to exterminate this group of bandits, so the bandits were allowed to wreak havoc for nearly two years.

If it is this group of bandits, they are indeed a very good training target.

Su Yu added: "Tina, by destroying this group of bandits, on the one hand, you can apply the military knowledge you have learned; on the other hand, it can also help you establish prestige among the knights. Only by leading everyone to fight Only when you win will everyone fully recognize you.”

 “What you said makes sense.”

After some thought, Tina finally made a decision: "Well, in the next two days, we will take the knights with us to destroy this group of bandits!"
