Chapter 597: 302: Demon Princess!_2

Suo Lun thought to himself that perhaps one of them was Ashi Luo.

"The second ranked is a guy named Tianhai Mu, and the first is Bing Yi, who is currently having a great time with Zhi Yan," Yuanyuan said.

When she uttered the name Bing Yi, her eyes were complex, gritting her teeth in frustration.

Hearing the name Bing Yi, Suo Lun couldn’t help but conjure up his somewhat sickly pale face in his mind.

From the tone of this Princess of Yaozhou, she clearly had a love-hate relationship with Bing Yi.

There was no doubt that the beauty of the woman before him was at the pinnacle of the pyramid, and so was her status.

Yet, she was infatuated with Bing Yi, which said volumes about the weight of this sickly young man.

"What about Ashi Luo?" Lord Suo Lun couldn’t help but ask.

Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou said, "Ashi Luo is quite interesting, but not quite the epitome of intelligence; he doesn’t rank."

Suo Lun was taken aback, as there was no doubt that Ashi Luo was extremely intelligent, though he usually preferred not to overthink, yet he was one of the smartest people Suo Lun had ever met.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of this Princess Yuanyuan from Yaozhou, Ashi Luo’s intelligence wasn’t even notable.

And this Bing Yi, who was ranked first by her, was he really that smart?

Yuanyuan said, "I’ve heard from others that you’re the smartest man in the Rage Wave Kingdom in recent years, and I couldn’t resist the thrill of the hunt, so I wanted to have a contest with you."

Then, she widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Suo Lun, "How about this, we play a game of wits, best two out of three, and the stakes are your life. If you win, I’ll let you go; if you lose, you die at my hands, deal?"

Suo Lun said, "As the lamb to the slaughter, I have no choice but to comply."

A life-and-death game, best two out of three!

This Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou was extraordinarily intelligent and extremely cunning, with hardly any match in terms of scheming and wit.

In her life, she had only lost to one person, and that was Bing Yi.

Therefore, her love-hate feelings for Bing Yi stemmed from this very fact.

In the past couple of years, Suo Lun’s fame had skyrocketed throughout the Human Kingdom, with his intelligence touted as almost otherworldly. Of course, the incredibly intelligent Princess from Yaozhou would not let this opportunity slip away, determined to see who was superior.

And what she enjoyed most was crushing her clever opponents with her high IQ.

To her, Lord Suo Lun had become a rare and valuable adversary in her lonely life!

Even if it meant dying, she wanted to entirely outsmart and defeat Suo Lun before killing him.

...

Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou moved away from the mirror and took a seat at a table, saying, "Lord Suo Lun, do you consider yourself smart?"

Suo Lun said, "Fearsome memory, fearsome logical ability, fearsome inspiration."

Yuanyuan clapped, her slender and enchanting hands resonating.

Then, she declared, "Our first round begins now. I hear you’re unmatched in your piano skills?"

"I dare not claim so," Suo Lun said.

Yuanyuan said, "Then, Lord Suo Lun, choose one, shall we engage in a piano duel, or should we play chess instead?"

After contemplating for a while, Suo Lun said, "Let’s play chess."

Yuanyuan said, "Could it be that Lord Suo Lun’s chess skills are superior to his piano skills? I’ve never heard of your prowess in chess."

Indeed, Suo Lun’s painting and piano skills were celebrated throughout the entire Human Kingdom.

But his talent in chess had never been mentioned, and he had not even been seen playing the game.

Yuanyuan said, "I’ve only ever lost to one person in chess. Are you sure you want to play against me?"

The only person she had lost to was undoubtedly Bing Yi.

Suo Lun shook his head and replied, "Let’s try, after all, it’s only the first round; if I lose, there are still two chances."

Yuanyuan said, "Alright then, chess it is."

Then, she personally carried over a chessboard and two boxes of pieces, with a hundred and eight of both black and white.

Of course, it was Go. When the Dragon Emperor came to this world, he not only brought Go but also introduced Xiangqi, or Chinese chess.

For thousands of years, Go had become wildly popular across the entire Human Kingdom.

Yuanyuan picked up a black stone and said, "As a lady, I should go first, how about that?"

"Fine," Suo Lun said.

Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou placed the first stone on the board.

Suo Lun picked up a white piece and laid it down on the board.

The two of them played their moves swiftly!

On Earth, Lord Suo Lun’s level in Go was just okay, and he hadn’t received very professional training, merely enjoying playing online every day.

So considering his level on Earth, he barely qualified as an amateur third-dan.

However, since arriving in this alternate world, his spiritual power had increased several times, and his current spiritual talent had now surpassed an astonishing nine, one in a million.

In addition, there was a being named Yao Xing living inside him.

Yao Xing, coupled with his brain, essentially became a top-level artificial intelligence.

On Earth, Google’s Alpha Dog artificial intelligence defeated top Go players like Lee Sedol, a professional ninth-dan.

The human brain, both in terms of capability and precision, far surpasses any supercomputer on Earth.

The only difference is that a supercomputer can perform countless calculations at once, which humans cannot do.

But now, Suo Lun possessed an extraordinarily powerful spiritual power, and with Yao Xing far exceeding Alpha Dog’s artificial intelligence, Lord Suo Lun’s brain outperformed supercomputers. Together, their computational power was astoundingly formidable.

If it had been before, Suo Lun wouldn’t have had sufficient spiritual energy to support such supercomputing.

But now, compared to Earth, Suo Lun’s spiritual power was thousands of times greater.

Thus, it was not so much Suo Lun playing chess as it was Yao Xing using his brain with computing ability surpassing Alpha Dog to play against Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou.
