Super Gene Hunting Ground

With Luo Meng promising this benefit, Yang Xiao was naturally happy to help Luo Meng.

Yang Xiao’s current strength is too weak, and for the time being, it’s impossible for him to confront Luo Meng and the people of this base.

Survive first, then develop, and gradually look for opportunities. If there’s no chance to confront Luo Meng and the others in this lifetime, then adopting a temporary identity to live by is also a way to survive, right?

Perhaps he could marry and have children on this planet and lead a simple and happy life.

If he doesn’t have the ability and opportunity to save Earth, Yang Xiao wouldn’t act recklessly and put on airs. If he died, no one would know, right?

Yang Xiao couldn’t help but miss his good friends like Lan Xin, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Huang Wen, and Gong Yu.

With Yang Xiao’s chess skills, plus playing chess with Luo Meng and Yuri these two months, he gained a basic understanding of their personalities and chess strategies.

Yang Xiao immediately combined the characteristics of the two and gave Luo Meng targeted strategic guidance.

”Captain Luo, you’re usually impulsive, which is a disadvantage in playing Go.

You can’t think calmly and only see the immediate move without anticipating the next three moves, so you tend to lose patience in a match and fall into traps set by others.

Yuri’s personality is the opposite of yours; he’s calm, meticulous, and even cunning. That’s also why he’s better at chess than you.

It’s not that his IQ is higher than yours, but his personality is more suited for Go. That’s why you often lose to him.”

Luo Meng was startled at first, and then he slapped his thigh and grabbed Yang Xiao’s hand. His shiny, round forehead gleaming with excitement, he said,

”Mr. Yang, you, you’ve really hit the nail on the head with just a few words. Your analysis of me is spot-on and insightful. It’s like a sudden epiphany and an enlightening sermon. Truly enlightening - better than ten years of study!”

As Luo Meng spoke, he even shed a tear in excitement.

Yang Xiao: ”...”

MMP, Luo Meng sure knows how to butter someone up!

”Mr. Yang, please continue, go on.”

Luo Meng released Yang Xiao’s hand with a sheepish smile.

”Cough. When you play against Yuri tomorrow, he will definitely take advantage of your impetuous nature, play slowly, wait for you to get restless and make a mistake, and then he can beat you.”

”What should I do then? I’m an impatient person, and I can’t change that in a short time.”

”Don’t rush. I know you can’t change overnight. I have a method for you. If you do as I say, you will be able to maintain an undefeated record.”

”Ah, what kind of method is it that sounds so magical? Tell me quickly.”

”See, you’re being impatient again, aren’t you?”

Luo Meng rubbed his round forehead and chuckled foolishly.

”Before you make a move, think about Yuri’s possible three responses to that move.

If you feel sure that you can handle any of his countermeasures, then make your move.

But if you think your move might lead Yuri to a decisive victory over you, then think again if there’s a better move to make.”

Luo Meng wasn’t stupid; he was just impulsive. After hearing Yang Xiao’s words, he realized,

”You mean to look three moves ahead with each move, right?”

”Right.”

”Slap!”

Luo Meng smacked his own round forehead, exclaiming excitedly,

”Why didn’t I think of that? This method is great, this method is great. There were many times after I made a move, and when I saw the opponent’s piece land, I regretted it. Alas, I’ve always been impulsive, at most thinking one or two moves ahead, and rarely considering three moves in advance.”

If Yang Xiao had told him that he needed to consider ten moves ahead in chess, or even more up to the full game situation, Luo Meng probably would have been ready to kneel in admiration.

”Of course, this method is just to control your impulsive nature and reduce mistakes. It can only bring you to a draw with Yuri, but doesn’t guarantee a victory over him.”

”Ah? How can we defeat Yuri?”

”Luck.”

”Luck?”

”Yes. Yuri must be thinking you’re still as impulsive as before, but this time you’ve become calm and careful. Yuri might lose control of his emotions for a moment, becoming impatient. Once he’s impatient, you’ll have the chance to win.”

Luo Meng was taken aback and after a bit of thought, he suddenly laughed heartily, stood up, and bowed to Yang Xiao very seriously.

”Master Yang is truly a godly person!”

Yang Xiao smiled faintly, suddenly recalling his time at Shenlongjia, where those savages also referred to him as a godly person.

This is the second time someone has called him a godly person.

He knew that if Luo Meng defeated Yuri tomorrow, their respect for him would only increase, and as long as he did not provoke them, his life would be safe for the time being.

”Master Yang, it’s getting late. You should rest. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Luo Meng left happily.

Just as Luo Meng stepped out of Yang Xiao’s room, a figure in the distance in the darkness was approaching. Upon seeing Luo Meng under the light, the figure stopped in its tracks.

This person was Yuri.

After drawing lots and getting Luo Meng, Yuri felt very happy. He believed his chess skills surpassed Luo Meng’s and was confident about defeating him tomorrow.

He was currently Luo Meng’s assistant, but his Genetic Evolution Level was almost on par with Luo Meng’s, and his chess skills and spiritual power cultivation were beginning to surpass Luo Meng’s.

This was an excellent opportunity to publicly defeat Luo Meng and build his qualifications for climbing the ranks.

After the drawing, Yuri stayed in the hall to watch other people’s chess matches. Later on, noticing a few players with impressive skills, he thought about whether he could achieve better results in the tournament. So he came to seek guidance from Yang Xiao and just happened to see Luo Meng leaving Yang Xiao’s room.

Yuri was a very calculating person, usually very low-key.

Watching Luo Meng’s retreating figure, Yuri thought with a sneer:

”Luo Meng, I’ve got you in my pocket tomorrow. Chess skills aren’t something that can be improved overnight. Even if you seek advice from Master Yang now, he can’t teach you any secret techniques. We’ll see about tomorrow.”

The next day, Luo Meng came early to play chess with Yang Xiao, playing three rounds each in the morning and the afternoon.

Moreover, as the captain, Luo Meng ordered Yuri to patrol three mining fields.

As a subordinate, Yuri had no choice but to comply with Captain Luo’s orders, without any complaints.

In the base, although people could joke and entertain each other in leisure, when it comes to work, the hierarchy was strict, and any form of rebellion was absolutely not allowed; otherwise, punishment would be inevitable.

In the evening, the second round of the base’s chess competition began.

From the 68 people yesterday, after the first-round elimination, there were 34 people left, divided into 17 groups.

To enhance the entertainment, Station Chief David had the first nine pairs compete to decide the winners before proceeding with the last eight pairs.

Luo Meng and Yuri were in the second batch of eight pairs.

Before this confrontation, Yuri planned a little interlude.

A captain of the same level as Luo Meng, Yuri’s cousin You Jue, came over and said loudly to Luo Meng:

”Haha, Captain Luo, I bet you’ll definitely lose to Yuri this round.”

Luo Meng also laughed and retorted:

”Damn it, how can you be so sure I’ll lose to Yuri?”

”Heh, do I not know how bad your chess skills are? Do you dare to bet with me?”

”What’s the bet?”
