Chapter 42 - Winner

Liu Wentao hesitated, under my continuous psychological attack. His spirit tended to collapse. The hand trembled and held the chess piece. Being indecisive about making that final he seemed relieved and placed a piece on the table.

I didn't have to guess that the piece that relieved him was definitely the panther. It seems that he was not going to use the bishop, but planned to wait for me to make a mistake. Once I thought he would use the bishop, then I would use the rat.

The rat is the weakest piece, except that it can restrain the bishop. It is definitely not a match for the panther or the dog. My current win rate with the rat is only one third, so I won't play it.

Because the mouse is not a match for the other four pieces, it can only restrain the bishop. So if Yellow mistakenly thinks that Red use the bishop, then he will use the Rat in response. But if his opponent use something other than the bishop, then he is sure to lose.

The bishop is different, as long as it is not the mouse. The bishop is the strongest piece. Even if I play the lion, I still lose. This is the overwhelming advantage that Red has. Even if it's like me, it's extremely difficult to deal with Liu Wentao.

Because our starting points are not fair, Red's win rate is super high even if he plays randomly. Trying to beat him is not that simple.

This is already the third round, this third round has not yet decided the winner. Then it will go to the fourth round. The pieces in our hands are now down to two.

This was an extremely critical game. We both stared at each other intently. Then along we shouted start at the same time. We flipped over our pieces at the same time.

Mine was a panther, and Liu Wentao's was also a panther. It was still a draw!

This time, Liu Wentao was completely frozen. He looked at me with stunned eyes and said, "Why didn't you use rat?"

"Of course, you didn't use the bishop either, did you?" I said with a smile. The situation today was already a huge advantage for me. Now we only have two pieces in our hands.

That means that each of us has a 50 percent chance of winning. After three consecutive games of psychological warfare, I had Liu Wentao scared. He never dared to play the bishop, which led to a gradual loss of his advantage.

By the fourth game, his win rate with the bishop was only one-half, the same as my win rate with the mouse. That's right, after a tough heart attack, I finally equalized the deficit for good.

This fourth game was the most critical one. It can even directly determine the winner.

Because once the fourth game is a draw, then the fifth game is not in doubt. We will have only two pieces left in our hands, the bishop and the mouse. That's a sure win for me. This time, it's Liu Wentao's turn to make a choice.

If the fourth game is a draw, Liu Wentao will definitely lose. So he is bound to play the bishop. Because if the dog draws, then in the end we both have only one piece left. That means I am bound to win. Because my last piece is the rat. And he is the bishop.

I dropped a piece on the table. I looked confidently at Liu Wentao, and I knew this was his last chance.

If it was still a tie, he would be dead for sure. So he had to find a way to break the tie. Then he would inevitably play the bishop! And I'll win outright by playing the mouse!

"Come on, use the bishop." I looked at Liu Wentao with wild eyes. Three consecutive draws had completely broken Liu Wentao's psychological defense.

Liu Wentao was bound to play the bishop in a fight to the death, because if he still didn't play the bishop, then he would definitely die. Now he has no choice.

I still came out first, landed a piece on the table, and my voice sneered, "Come on, Liu Wentao, let's fight to the death."

"Humph." Liu Wentao grunted coldly, trembling as he looked at the two pieces in his hand. He was hesitating, extremely hesitant. Which one should be played. Compared to his hesitation, I was always so decisive.

Every time I played first, as if I didn't give Liu Wentao the slightest time to think. Looking at my winning face, Liu Wentao's spirit was tense, and big drops of cold sweat kept flowing down from his forehead.

He was trembling, and his eyes looked at me with hatred. His voice resented, "Bai Zhi, why, why can a trash like you force me to this point?"

"Who knows, you have no choice now." I looked at Liu Wentao and said. Liu Wentao was trembling and looked at me. Gritting his teeth tightly, but his mind was thinking up.

He could only play the bishop now, and if he didn't play the bishop he would definitely lose. If there is another draw, then there is no need to compare. He would lose 100%. Because in deathmatch chess, the bishop was not a match for the rat.

"Wait a minute, Bai Zhi is cheating me." Liu Wentao thought up in his head, and suddenly thought of my consecutive games, the cold smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly it dawned on him.

Then he held the chess piece in his hand and seemed to have made up his mind. Placing a chess piece on the table. His body trembled and his voice roared like a wounded beast, "Bai Zhi. Come on. Let's fight to the death!"

"Begin!" Then we both shouted start at the same time.

At this time I stood up with a sneer and gently slapped Liu Wentao's face. The voice coldly said, "Oh, you finally plan to come out of the bishop? Unfortunately, it's already too late. My chess piece is a rat!"

I laughed out loud, and after I finished I was about to turn the chess piece over in my hand. But at this time, Liu Wentao fiercely flipped the chess piece in his hand over. And this time my face suddenly froze.

"How is it possible. How could you possibly use dog!" I looked at Liu Wentao's chess piece and roared in anger as my face changed dramatically. All my calculations were surprisingly completely overturned by this moment. Liu Wentao did not play the bishop as I had thought, but chose to play the dog!

"Oh, that's for sure." Liu Wentao looked at me calmly and said in a calm voice, "Bai Zhi, you haven't thought about it, have you. From the very beginning I found out about your scheme."

"I know you are deliberately lying to me, trying to force me out of the bishop. So that you could use the rat against me. But as you can see. I did not use the bishop." Liu Wentao said smugly.

"Impossible, this is already the fourth round. If you don't play the bishop again, you will lose for sure!" I looked at Liu Wentao and shouted.

"Haha, yes, I also wanted to use the bishop just now. But I saw your smug face. But I suddenly thought of it. This is all your plot. You are deliberately forcing me. By the fourth round, I had the same chance of winning the bishop as you had of winning the mouse. You continuously put psychological pressure on me. It was to force me to make a last ditch effort."

"If I use the bishop, then I'll have fallen for your scheme!" Liu Wentao said smugly. Then likewise patted my face and said in a smug voice: "You are indeed very powerful, but it is because you have counted everything. That's what led to your defeat!"

I sat on the ground with a pale face, just as Liu Wentao said. I forced him into a desperate situation, and then made him have to come out of the bishop. But he had figured out my ploy and didn't use the bishop, but chose to continue using the dog!

"Oh, that one of yours should be the rat. What a pity. Even if the rat can beat the bishop, it can't beat my dog." Liu Wentao's face was twisted and his voice was smug, "Haha, the final winner is me. See? It's me, Liu Wentao! I'm the winner!"

By the end of the day, he was bouncing around in a near frenzy, announcing his victory to everyone. And outside Wen Zhu and Wei had completely froze. I, who was invincible in their eyes, had lost?

"Humph, Liu Wentao, don't forget that I haven't opened my cards yet." I suddenly said.

"Go ahead, I'll see how you can turn the tide this time. You are so calculating, but in the end, you lost at my hands." Liu Wentao laughed wildly.

"Why not think about it. Did you just use a dog in a way I would have expected?" I suddenly smiled at him and said.

"Hmph, don't bluff. I admit that you are powerful and have calculated me to death. But you couldn't have guessed that I had already figured out your treacherous plan. There will not be an bishop at all." Liu Wentao finished. Gently turned the chess piece in front of me over, then his face was completely dumbfounded, and those eyes were even wider. Because what he turned over was a dog!

Round 4, dog to dog draw!

"You, ah, are still too stupid. You think you've guessed what I really think?" I suddenly smiled.

"You, so it's all you!" Liu Wentao trembled and pointed at me.

"That's right, everything about you is in my grasp. You thought you saw through my plan. I don't know, but this is just my layout at the beginning. Liu Wentao, you lost." I spoke softly.

Liu Wentao sat in his chair in despair, his eyes already completely dull. Now the fourth game had passed, and after four consecutive draws, he had only one piece left in his hand, and that was the bishop.

And I also only had one piece left in my hand. This piece is the rat. In other words, in the fifth game, I am a sure winner. There is absolutely no chance of failure!

"No, that's not true. I didn't lose!" Liu Wentao shook his head, but on his neck, red lines were slowly appearing. Feeling the stinging pain on his neck, Liu Wentao's face changed greatly. But it was already too late, the red line on his neck was getting bigger and bigger, his throat could no longer make a sound, and he wanted to open his mouth. But as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouth full of blood flowed out of his mouth.

"There is only one reason for your failure, and that is to be an enemy of me!" I looked at Liu Wentao, who was about to die, and my voice finished slowly. Then turned around and left the classroom.
