This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 638

 In the Tower of Order, the Order Balance blatantly helped Mu You cheat.

 After confirming this fact, Mu You couldn't help but glance at the chaotic clone opposite.

 However, the other party was indifferent and had no objection to the result. He even raised his head and cast an urging look at Mu You: Bai Zi goes first, it's your turn.

 Muyou feels that this matter is not that simple.

It is impossible for the other party not to know that the Balance of Order belongs to his side. Despite this, the other party still offered to let the Balance of Order be the referee...

Mu You subconsciously checked the deviation value and suddenly understood.

His deviation value is 5% at this moment, but before coming in, his deviation has been maintained at 0...

Mu You took a breath and finally understood that the reason why the other party was so nonchalant was because he was not afraid of him cheating at all.

Because every favoritism of the balance of order will increase his deviation value, and their next chessboard duel will actually compete with the deviation value: subduing the opponent's chess pieces can reduce the deviation, and being swallowed up by the opponent's chess pieces will increase the deviation.

 Once the deviation value exceeds the limit, he loses.

Hence, the chaotic clone is not afraid of cheating on the scale at all, because every time he cheats, the deviation value will be returned.

 Mu You took a breath and gave up his fantasy.

This is the Tower of Order, and it is his home court, but if you want to defeat the chaotic clone on the opposite side, you cannot rely on these side tricks. You must win an upright and upright duel in a regular duel.

 But, in terms of rules, will you be the opponent's opponent?

Although he is the messenger of the God of Order, he has only been a believer for only half a year.

Even if the other party is just a clone, he has been imprisoned in this tower for hundreds of thousands of years. Whether it is the thickness of the deviation value or the understanding of the law, he does not seem to have the conditions to surpass the other party...

 While Mu You was meditating, a countdown appeared on the side of the stone table: 30, 29, 28…

 This is the time left for both sides to make moves. After the duel begins, each step of the two must be completed within 30 seconds.

 This is also a necessary rule, otherwise the game of chess will continue endlessly.

　　After struggling for a while, seeing the countdown reaching single digits in the blink of an eye, Mu You came back to his senses and felt his worries ease a little.

It is true that he became the Successor of Order only for a short period of time, but in order to compete with Caesar for the position of Successor of Order in the Mysterious Land of Lanterns, he also spent a full thousand years of stasis in the special training of the Pen of Order. Just now I have mastered the laws of order.

　One thousand years of comprehension may not be worth mentioning compared to the time the opponent was locked in this tower, but things like law comprehension are often not directly proportional to the time spent.

Just like a budding sprinter, it only takes a short period of training to improve the time from 15 seconds to less than 11 seconds.

 However, the time and energy required to increase from 11 seconds to less than 10 seconds may easily reach hundreds of times.

 Furthermore, for performance within 10 seconds, the effort required for every 0.1 second improvement cannot be quantified in time. Even once it reaches a certain limit, it is likely that it will not be improved for a lifetime.

This is also true for the understanding of the laws. The higher you go, the more exaggerated the marginal effects will be. Even though the other party has lived hundreds of thousands of years longer than him, his understanding of the laws may not be much higher than him.

Moreover, in this seemingly fair duel, Mu You actually has an invisible advantage, and that is the time pocket watch.

The opponent only has thirty seconds to think about each move, which is equivalent to playing "fast chess". But with the pocket watch, every move he makes can be made after careful consideration.

 The extra thinking time should be able to bridge the gap in understanding of the laws between the two parties.

Thinking of this, Mu You's worries disappeared. He took out the chess pieces from the stone bowl and placed them at one of the points on the border between order and chaos before the countdown ended.

 The next second, the chess piece automatically dissipated, and from the perspective of order, several chaos runes at that position were quietly repaired into order runes.

 As the chessboard changed, Mu You suddenly felt the scales beneath him begin to move.

The stone chair he was sitting on tilted up slightly in an arc, while the chaotic clone opposite him landed at the same distance.

 The entire balance has tilted slightly.

 At the same time, the deviation value in Muyou's body also dropped a bit, reaching 2%.

  Mu You's turn ended, the countdown returned to thirty seconds, and it was the turn of the Chaos clone.

 Chaos clone counterattacked without any hesitation, assimilating the order rune at another point on the boundary line into chaos. The whole process took less than one second.

 The scale moved again and finally remained in a horizontal position. Muyou's deviation value also increased, returning to 5%.

In just a few seconds, the two of them completed their first confrontation. The result can only be said to be a 50-50 draw, with no one taking advantage, and everything returned to the starting point.

Mu You was not surprised. The first few moves were all trials. The two sides had not yet formally interacted with each other in the chess game. There was no room for the advantages and characteristics of the two sides to be used. A draw was inevitable.

However, as the battle unfolds, the two sides will soon engage in a head-on battle, and the gap will gradually become apparent.

 Then the two sides went back and forth, round after round, staggered.

On the chessboard, the situation that had remained relatively calm gradually began to turmoil.

The balance of order was like a rocking car at the moment, swinging up and down as the two people engaged in battle, with an ever-increasing amplitude.

 After more than ten consecutive rounds, Mu You gradually found the feeling and regained his confidence.

Hence, he has discovered that the other party is not as scary as he imagined. In terms of understanding of the laws of chaos, he seems to be about the same level as him, and is not significantly better than him.

On the contrary, as the battle situation fell into a tense situation, Mu You's pocket watch retroactive advantage gradually came into play.

The other party may be slightly better than him in understanding the rules, but with the sufficient thinking time provided by backtracking, Mu You can ensure that every step is perfect. This is enough to make up for the gap between the two parties, and even make a slight surplus.

In addition, the advantage he gained from the cheating at the beginning of the balance of order gradually came into play at this moment.

 In Go, there is a saying that "it is better to lose several pieces than to let one go first". This is because taking the lead means attacking and taking the initiative.

Every time a stone is placed, the opponent will be forced to act at his own pace. This is called "taking the initiative." Unless the other side has the level of crushing, it will have a chance to take the initiative back.

 At present, the level of the two is almost the same, so it is naturally impossible for the first player to change hands easily, so from the beginning to now, the initiative has been firmly held by Mu You.

The chess game has reached its fiftieth round in the blink of an eye.

 After a series of trials and adaptations, Mu You gradually relaxed his hands and began to gradually try some bold attacks.

Facts have proved that his feeling was right. After a large-scale attack, the opponent had limited time to think, resulting in several big mistakes in a row.

 Mu You took the opportunity to expand his victory and chased and intercepted the lone Chaos Rune.

 One hundred rounds…

 Two hundred rounds…

 Three hundred rounds…

 As time goes by, more and more areas belong to order on the board, and Mu You's mentality becomes more and more relaxed. He only feels that his understanding of order has improved to a higher level, and his moves are more decisive and accurate.

 Under constant encirclement and interception, a day passed quickly.

At this time, Muyou already occupied 90% of the blocks on the board, while the opponent was killed and only a few scattered chaotic areas were left, almost completely defeated.

 At the same time, in the pet store.

 A group of people gathered around the room, looking at Mu You who was lying motionless on the bed. "The situation is good!" The Deng Shen felt the changes in the deviation value in Mu You's body and was a little surprised.

"What's wrong?" the watchman asked quickly, and everyone else also pricked up their ears.

"Chaos is not easy to deal with. I thought Mu You would definitely go through a fierce battle. Even if he wins in the end, the deviation value will definitely fluctuate drastically. Unexpectedly, since the war started, his deviation value has always been maintained at a very low level. The level...this shows that Mu You has probably suppressed the opponent!" The Deng Shen laughed.

 “Oh? The real body is so powerful!” The reporter was surprised. Others were also surprised when they heard this.

So it seems that it is stable?

At this time, Vivian in the form of a crow quietly flew to Lin Xue's shoulder and looked at Mu You's right hand.

 Ever since Mu You fell asleep, he had been holding the time pocket watch in his hand and never put it down.

Others did not discover that the pocket watch had been used, because even if Mu You pressed the watch, others would not be able to observe Mu You pressing the watch after going back in time.

But Vivian has been following Mu You back in time throughout the whole process, so she is the only one in the audience who knows best. Mu You has been intermittently going back in time according to the watch since he fell asleep yesterday, and the further back, the higher the frequency of backtracking.

Of course, she couldn't tell what this meant specifically, but she knew that the situation Mu You was facing was definitely not as easy as the Deng God said.

 “Oops, it's back to zero!”

At this time, the Djinn God observed that the deviation value in Mu You's body suddenly returned to its original point, and he was immediately happy: "It seems that he has completely suppressed the chaotic clone, and did not even give the opponent a chance to counterattack... Not bad, not bad, this one should be useless There's a problem…uh…”

The Djinn God was halfway through boasting when his expression suddenly froze.

Because at this time, the deviation value in Mu You's body suddenly jumped up, from 0 to 20%!

  20% is actually still a figure that represents an advantage. However, this is the first time since the war started that Muyou has experienced such a big fluctuation.

Furthermore, the 20% did not drop for a long time after that, but instead began to rise slowly...

“Did something happen?” The Djinn suddenly became worried.

 The Tower of Order.

Mu You looked at the chessboard in front of him, which was almost completely occupied by order runes. He knew in his heart that he had forced his opponent into a desperate situation.

 The chaotic clone on the opposite side occasionally exchanged a few words with him at first, but later became completely silent. Some rounds even timed out and skipped, as if he had been killed and lay down in despair.

The opponent said before he started that he had been locked up in this tower until he had a mental breakdown. No matter he won or lost, he could accept both results. At this time, he was sure that he would lose, so it was understandable to give up early.

 Seeing that victory was in hand, Mu You didn't waste any more time and decisively prepared to continue chasing for a few more moves to eliminate the last three chaos runes on the board, and everything was considered complete.

"So…"

Mu You picked up the white piece and brought it to the chessboard, just as he was about to place the piece.

Looking at the disk in front of him, he was suddenly stunned.

 The chess pieces on the fingertips are wandering around on the board, but they can never find a suitable position to fall.

Mu You was a little frightened. The countdown was still ticking next to him. He hurriedly went back in time and tried all possible operations.

However, no matter how he moved, he could not trap the three black stones.

 Can't make a move?

 This is something Mu You never expected.

　　It's obviously coming to an end, and we obviously have such a huge advantage, but we can't finish it?

 Mu You continued to look back and observe the chess game, but sweat gradually began to form on his forehead.

 He finally understood why he couldn't checkmate the opponent's last piece.

The way he came here to kill the chaos runes was to use the characteristics of the law of order to constantly set up rules one by one to break the opponent's chaotic area into pieces and then defeat them one by one.

However, the problem lies here: the rules he set, while restricting the other party, also restricted him step by step within countless rules and regulations.

 In short, it was not that the opponent made some clever move at this time that prevented him from making a move.

 But he himself has locked up his own mobility...

 “Hehehe…”

Until this moment, the chaotic clone who had been silent on the other side suddenly let out a burst of laughter, with a hint of contempt and teasing in it.

 “Did you see it?”

“This is the gap between order and chaos, and it is also the reason why the God of Order lost to me in two head-to-head duels!”

 “Order can never truly defeat chaos!”

Accompanied by these words from the shadow man.

  Mu You's countdown reached zero, and he skipped a round for the first time since the game.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow man dropped the next sunspot on the board.

 The situation on the chessboard flipped instantly.

 There were only four lone black stones, but they seemed to be surrounded by hundreds of white stones.

 The deviation value in Muyou's body increased sharply by 20%!

Mu You had no time to pay attention to the chessboard, but looked at the opponent suspiciously: The God of Order has never won in the competition with the God of Chaos?

Although the Djinn God has mentioned it many times, chaos is the divine right corresponding to order. One is good and the other is evil, and the two have the same status.

But Mu You has always believed that chaos and order really need to be ranked based on seniority, and the authority of order should be able to overpower the chaos. After all, evil cannot defeat good.

 But the result…

 At this time, Mu You finally understood why the other party had been so similar to him in understanding the rules before.

It's not because their level of understanding of the laws is really evenly divided, but because the other party has been deliberately holding back. Perhaps the purpose is to guide him and let him see the dead end that leads to the end under the guidance of order, so that he can stop it. Psychological breakdown.

 “What, you don't believe it?”

The shadow man seemed to know what Mu You was suspecting, and sneered: "I don't have to lie to you. This is a fact that has been verified many times in the head-on battle between the gods of order and chaos: the authority of chaos is higher in order. order!"

 “Because the ultimate order is deathly silence!”

“A world that takes rules to the extreme must be a dead world. Everything in the world will be bound by the rules of order and become lifeless.”

 “In fact, the real world is always in the process of entropy!”

“Order is destined to be a temporary accident, chaos is the eternal normal state of this world!”

With a few sneers from the chaotic clone, the chaotic forces on the chessboard began a desperate counterattack. (End of chapter)
