Becoming God of a Dystopian World

Chapter 278: The Simple Game



Chapter 278: The Simple Game

As he tried to imagine a beast that he would like to use as his piece on the game board the first image that popped up in his mind was none other than Bimba’s.

Ah Bimba.

Even though he was attached to Bimba Zhao Luo didn’t want to use him as a piece in a game even if that piece was just a statue resembling Bimba.

‘Oh I know. A statue of blue eyes white dragon would be a good match for that red-winged dragon.’

Zhao Luo mumbled while his arms were folded in front of his chest as he nodded his head barely able to hide his grin because of the surprise he was going to give the senior in front of him. Just then Bu Xing opened his mouth.

So. you have chosen a sand lion. How mediocre.

Bu Xing said with a smile as he had already won the war of imagination.

Zhao Luo was stunned as he listened to Bu Xing making fun of him.

But I haven’t eve-

While Zhao Luo was trying to refute his words by saying he hadn’t even thought of the beast statue he wanted to use as a piece he noticed that Bu Xing was looking behind him with his eyes raised.

Zhao Luo turned around while following Bu Xing’s gaze and found a 3-meter tall statue of Bimba who was standing on his two feet and had a crown placed on his head.

Oh wow.

Zhao Luo exclaimed as his tamed beast was looking handsome just like his tamer.

The next moment the beast statue slid towards Zhao Luo and stopped on the white-black Zhao Luo was on.

The game is very simple.

Bu Xing said as both of their pieces faced each other just like how they were facing each other.

What are the rules?

Zhao Luo asked and that was when the five blocks on his left and the four blocks on his right turned bright.

‘What’s happening?’

Zhao Luo who was freaked out couldn’t help but raise his hands as an eerie feeling crept on him.

Nine more pieces that looked just like the first piece appeared on the row he was on.

The nine new pieces were two-meter tall which is a meter shorter than the one on the fifth column where Zhao Luo was. 

Just like the first row the tenth row where Bu Xing was went through the same change.

Nine dragons with big red wings appeared there. Each of the dragons looked like a smaller version of the one on the block Bu Xing was standing on.

The rules are as simple as the game.

Bu Xing leaped forward once to stand on the block in front of him which was on the ninth row.

We both shall face each other in the middle with a game that will give the winner a ‘chance’ to attack.

As Bu Xing told the first rule to Zhao Luo he jumped another block and landed on the 5th column’s block on the eighth row.

With one chance to attack you can take down a regular piece with the attack of your piece. As for the crowned one behind me you need to attack it with your pieces five times that is you will need to get five chances and for that you will need to beat me five times in the game we will be playing.

Xu Bing jumped to the next block and then another before finally stopping at the 5th block of the sixth row.

Zhao Luo looked at the dragon statues behind Bu Xing and realized that except for the crown one all of them had the same limit on them which was 1/1 but the crowned dragon with the red wings had 5/5.

The winner will be the one who takes down five regular pieces or only the crowned one.

Bu Xing smiled at Zhao Luo while telling another rule.

Wouldn’t that be the same? Since to do both you need five chances.

Zhao Luo said to Bu Xing who nodded at Zhao Luo’s question once again showing that he knew what the question would be.

That’s also very simple. It’s different in the case of the crowned one since after you win a game and use a chance to attack it making its limit fall to 4/5 you will need to win another game to get a chance. And in case you lose the next game the limit will return to 5/5.

Bu Xing explained to Zhao Luo yet another rule which made it extremely hard to destroy the crowned one.

‘Simple Simple Simple….’

Zhao Luo screamed in his head.

What is simple about this game? Who would even go for the crowned one?

Zhao Luo mumbled while lowering his body.

He pushed his toes back and raised his ankle.

The 5th rows block was exactly eight meters away from and in an instant

Half Walk.

‘Whoosh.’

Zhao Luo had covered it which caused Bu Xing to be filled with awe.

What’s the game?

Zhao Luo asked looking calmer than how he was a second ago.

It’s sim-

Simple?

Zhao Luo interrupted Bu Xing and regretted it right after he opened his mouth again.

Similar to guessing the other person’s moves.

Bu Xing completed his words and Zhao Luo looked a bit embarrassed.

Senior what kind of moves are we guessing here?

Zhao Luo politely asked with an awkward laugh.

Up Down Left and Right. We both have four directions. I will be the one guessing and you will be the one making the move. You can make the move by turning your face or pointing your arm in any of the four directions. If I guess your move correctly I will win and get a chance otherwise you will win and a chance will be given to you. 

Bu Xing finally told Zhao Luo about the game they would be playing which will decide the destruction of their pieces.

So if you can’t guess five times I will win?

YES!

Hmm sounds fair.

Zhao Luo smiled as the game turned out to be a really simple one.

‘So I have to guess about his guess as to which direction I will be looking at. This should be a breeze.’

Zhao Luo thought while preparing his mind as Bu Xing looked more than ready to start the countdown.
