"(✧◡✧) So this is the power of money!"
"Got it, I'll go burn some paper money to strengthen our side!"
When Shen Luo took out a large stack of money, the woman in the qipao was stunned.
The viewers in the live stream got excited.
At first, when the woman in the qipao said they could leave after playing for a night,
They knew it wouldn't be anything good.
As expected, if you want to 'play,'
You have to mortgage your body, lifespan, and other things.
Isn't this just coveting people's bodies? Don't think they don't know!
At that moment, the viewers just wanted to curse 'deceitful'
And add 'vicious bastard.'
Some even got inspired on the spot and wrote a long post online,
Which was then wildly praised by everyone.
But upon discovering that this place used the same underworld冥币 (underworld currency) as the underworld,
The viewers' anger instantly disappeared.
They sat up straight, held their roasted melon seeds, and waited to watch the show.
冥币?
Is it a problem for underworld grim reapers to possess冥币?
Is it a problem to throw money at ghosts?
Of course, there's no problem!
The viewers expressed their support, waving their hands.
A string of gifts like fireworks filled the bullet screen, looking beautiful.
"Du Jie Zheng Dian gifted the streamer 10 sports cars!"
"Ming Xi Rou gifted the streamer 5 hot air balloons! With a message: We definitely can't let the streamer suffer a loss, everyone, let's go! Use the power of money!"
"Facts prove that the power of the masses is immense."
"Just bought paper money online, will burn it as soon as it arrives!"
In front of the screen,
Xia Qingqing's parents watched the bullet screen, somewhat bewildered.
The two workaholics rarely engaged in online entertainment.
They were either working or taking time off to accompany their precious daughter.
They knew very little about underworld matters.
However, they understood the situation in the live stream just now.
That is, Grim Reaper Shen had distributed his private property to his daughter.
This was a benefactor!
They certainly couldn't let the benefactor suffer a loss.
Thus, the two quickly topped up their accounts, and another wave of gifts flew across the screen.
They silently chanted with nervous hearts:
Qingqing, you can do it.
...
In the chess room.
The chessboard was laid out, forming the real Chu River and Han Boundary.
The opposing commander was the old man who had been closing his eyes.
The old man's voice, crossing the many soldiers, reached Xia Qingqing's ears:
"You lost."
At this moment, there were very few 'chess pieces' left on the board.
Xia Qingqing had lost both cannons, both chariots, one advisor, and one horse.
The old man's 'chariot,'
Had already reached her side.
The soldier on the chariot, holding a long spear, pointed directly at Xia Qingqing's forehead.
The biting killing intent seemed to penetrate the skin and drill into the bone.
Under the spear, the girl's expression remained unchanged as she raised an eyebrow.
Then, from a stack of冥币 beside her, she pulled out ten sheets and handed them to the soldier on the chariot.
"Another round."
Ten sheets for a thousand yuan. Exactly the bet for one round.
The soldier on the chariot retracted his spear, took the冥币.
The chariot under his feet turned, rumbling towards the old man with closed eyes.
This was already the seventh round.
In seven rounds, Xia Qingqing had only won three times.
As a child, she had only taken an interest class in chess.
It was normal that she couldn't defeat such a cunning old man.
Xia Qingqing did not feel discouraged.
On the contrary, the repeated failures only fueled her competitive spirit.
Her face was filled with excitement and curiosity for new things.
She waved her hand at her soldiers, "Let's start again, everyone to your positions!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers who had been killed returned to their original state,
Responding to their general, they took their positions.
The other soldiers who had reached the enemy's territory also hurried back.
Xia Qingqing looked at the old man on the opposite side. From beginning to end, this old man had never opened his eyes.
She didn't know if he couldn't see or was just pretending to be profound.
But what did it matter?
The [Advisors] on both sides had taken their positions,
These two, one civil and one military, were very tall.
But as soon as Xia Qingqing spoke, they squatted down and listened attentively.
"Left and right guards."
"Your subordinate is here!"
Xia Qingqing looked at them, her big eyes sparkling, as if she had discovered something fun.
"Have you gotten married?"
The left and right guards were stunned and looked up at their general.
Although they didn't understand, they replied, "No."
Xia Qingqing: "Have the soldiers gotten married?"
The advisor on the right seemed to understand something and said, "Wang Erdan, Su Wu... five of them have families, the rest are not yet married."
Xia Qingqing's lips curved upwards, "I see."
The old man on the opposite side took the冥币 handed to him by his subordinate, 'looked' at the three people plotting in the main position opposite,
And didn't take them seriously at all.
Just a child, with limited knowledge and experience.
The three rounds he lost earlier were just him testing the opponent's abilities.
He could play a different tactic each round.
As the soldiers took their positions,
The war drums echoed in the air again, and the flags of both sides fluttered in the wind.
This time,
The old man first sent out a chariot, advancing two spaces to set up his formation.
Then he waited for the girl on the opposite side to deploy her troops.
"Soldiers—!"
A crisp shout suddenly rang out from the opposite side.
The old man with closed eyes 'looked' over,
And saw that the girl was being carried on the shoulders of the two guards, sitting high up.
Holding something in her hand, she shouted:
"Have you got wives? Do you have children?"
The soldiers looked at each other, somewhat confused.
They listened quietly.
Xia Qingqing continued, "Do you want to marry beautiful girls? Do you want to send your children to school?"
Beautiful girls? Wives, sons, and warm hearths?
The soldiers' hearts suddenly burned with passion.
"If you do, then fight this battle with me!"
Xia Qingqing shook the thing she was holding high, and said forcefully:
"If we win, your military pay will be five times higher! And you'll get leave to go home for the New Year!!"
Double military pay, and you can go home for the New Year?
No matter when, the New Year is an anticipated festival.
Food that is rarely eaten throughout the year, new clothes that are rarely worn, family reunions...
The soldiers were filled with fervor and their morale soared.
They raised their weapons and shouted, responding to their general.
"We will win!"
"We will win!"
This battle, they would definitely win!
Xia Qingqing raised her hand and pointed forward, commanding with authority:
"All soldiers advance, prepare for artillery bombardment!"
Instantly,
The soldiers on the front line charged out, "Kill—!"
Behind them, the artillerymen prepared, aiming at the enemy's rear camp.
Boom! Boom!
The camp exploded, and the grain and horses were engulfed in the flames.
This sudden fierce attack caught the enemy soldiers off guard.
Caught off guard, they lost a significant number of personnel.
In the commander's position,
The old man who had been closing his eyes, calm and composed, was stunned ⊙▃⊙.
His eyes snapped open, and he looked directly at the girl opposite.
He saw that the thing the girl was waving was none other than a thick stack of冥币!
"!!!"
The old man looked at the raging fires in his territory and exclaimed in anger, "This is outrageous!"
He slapped his thigh and couldn't help but shout to the sky:
"Isn't this considered a violation of the rules!"
Chess, is clearly a turn-based battle, you take a step, I take a step.
How can it be played like this!?
...
The sky was silent.
There was no response.
"Kill—!"
Xia Qingqing's army advanced, directly attacking the fortress.
With their military pay, they were going home for the New Year!
...
