Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 261 Runaway Race Schedule

July 7st, the designated date for the original qualifiers.

Golden Suite on the top floor of Crocas Garden Hotel.This is the place specially chosen by the missionaries as a temporary residence, because only this room has enough space for him to set up a magic circle and hold a balance group meeting.

Although it was daytime, the room was dark. A cyan communication magic circle with a diameter of ten meters shone with dim light and slowly rotated. All thirteen chess pieces gathered together.In addition to the missionaries and Zhang Xuqian who were here, there was also a double of Val Yixito who was here, and everyone else participated in the meeting in the form of missing bodies.

Speaking of which, such scenes where all the members gather together are really rare.Usually they are all scattered around the world to perform their own tasks, and work together for the layout of the chess players. Even if they want to get together before the start of the war, they can't get away casually, so for the time being. This is the only way to hold a meeting.

"Why call us for a meeting at this time!" Someone complained, "I'm on my way now, I can get there soon, can't I wait?"

Nuonuo also complained: "It's a good thing you're just on your way, Daphne and I are fighting! The Guardians of the Twelve Shields are very powerful! We're trying to get out of the truce, don't disturb us at this juncture ah!"

The missionary coughed and showed a rare wry smile: "I'm sorry for calling everyone rashly, but the situation is really urgent now, and the problem is imminent."

Qingshan was still in the headquarters at the moment, and immediately asked after hearing the words: "Is it about the Damo Dou performing martial arts? I have roughly figured out the situation of Brandish..."

The missionary continued to smile bitterly: "Well, this is also a problem, but what really matters is..."

Val sneered and said, "Generally speaking, it's just that the qualifiers have been played off this time."

Nuonuo interrupted their conversation: "Wait, let's talk about Brandish first. I am more concerned about this. Why did she appear in the Damo Dou Yanwu?"

Qing Shan replied: "I have contacted Zhang Xuqian from the Gambit Lord, and the thing is like this: Last month, the Second Special Magical Battalion built a new base on Galakel Island, because strictly speaking It also belongs to the territory of the Western Continent, so there was a conflict with Brandish. Then the King of Cards and Brandish came to a game of gambling, and in the end Brandish lost himself to the magic guide team..."

Val asked: "So there is no response from the empire?"

"It seems that I also sent people to play a few games, but I didn't take advantage of it, so I let it go for the time being."

Val snorted coldly: "If it's just a twelve shield, the empire won't care. He asked someone to make up for it at any time." He was still brooding over the fact that he was quickly replaced after his rebellion.

The missionary nodded: "Very well, so she is no longer an enemy, so let her go... Although it is a bit disruptive to the balance of the game. Bring the topic back, now there is a major problem!"

"Too many teams have advanced to the qualifiers!"

That's right, there are too many mages who have passed the challenge, far exceeding their most optimistic expectations.

Originally, according to the chess player's idea, among those who passed the magic power test, the top eight scorers would be selected to advance to the main match.However, in the last Chessman meeting, everyone agreed that the opportunity is rare and it is necessary to have a good time. The mere eight teams are not lively enough, so they amended the rules without authorization and canceled the limit on the number of advanced teams. It became "As long as the score reaches Two thousand, you can advance."In order to allow more teams to pass the challenge, "cheating" is also allowed, trying to gather a dozen or twenty teams to participate, so that the carefully designed competitions will become more lively.

"But so far, nearly ninety teams have successfully advanced."

Following the number reported by the missionary, the rest of the crowd couldn't help but exclaim - no matter how you look at it, this number is too exaggerated!

"Why is this happening?" Nuonuo asked, "Even if you can cheat, there aren't that many guilds that have the strength to pass the level?"

The missionary was silent for a moment: "Because of the loopholes in the rules we made, plus a model of successfully catching loopholes—Fairy Tail."

It's all because of Fairy Tail. Last night, Laxus and Natsu passed the challenge one after another, so that Fairy Tail got two places for participating teams.

This gave great inspiration to other guilds. It turns out that a guild can send multiple teams to participate in the competition!

Last night, because the magic power detection device was shrunk by Brandish's magic and could no longer be used, the next qualifier was postponed until today.

Originally, the missionary no longer planned to pay attention to today's qualifiers. He didn't believe that there would be an existence like Brandish among the remaining guilds.But it was precisely this morning that the preliminaries began to enter the most lively stage.

Different from those wizards last night, the scores were getting higher and higher, and in the end they even blew up the test equipment!Because such results are too exaggerated, people have lost their sense of reality after seeing the end, and completely treat those wizards as another kind of creature.But today is different. There are no exaggerated mages who are cheating. All the scores of passing the level have just exceeded the [-] mark, and the gap between them is mostly between one and two hundred.

This kind of game has become more interesting, after all, the competition must be evenly matched to show the fierceness of the competition.

The audience and tourists enjoyed watching it very well, but the missionaries couldn't sit still soon, because the number of people who passed the challenge was rising rapidly, and it seemed that they exceeded half a hundred.Only then did he feel that the situation was not good, and hurriedly investigated.

Then, the missionaries discovered that there were many mages who passed the challenge, but the number of guilds that successfully advanced was actually much less, at most there were more than 20—this was the number in their mist.

It turns out that many guilds have followed the example of Fairy Tail and sent two or even three teams to participate!

They all use cheating methods to pass the challenge, and things like cheating can usually be replicated. If you can do it once, you can do it the second, third, and fourth time...

On the other hand, among protagonist guilds such as Sword Bite Tiger, Snake Scale, Blue Pegasus, Mermaid's Heel, Four Hounds, and Crow's Tail, only Fairy Tail produced two teams due to "misuse".Because they really want to compete for the final championship, they will not do things to spread their strength and send more teams to participate.

But the rest of the guilds that were able to advance because of cheating, it was a surprise to be able to enter the main match, and they dare not hope for the championship, so their mentality and concept have become "Participation first, competition second ".Most of them are holding the attitude of joining in the fun and looking fresh, at least in this way, they are also guilds that have "participated in the Great Demon Fighting Exercise"!
Anyway, they don't intend to win. Even if they concentrate their strongest strength, they can't defeat those monster-level guilds, so they don't care about spreading their strength at all.Why not take this opportunity to send a few more people to gain insight.

Moreover, maybe the advantage in numbers can help them counter the quality advantage of the protagonist's guild.

Under such thinking, the number of participating teams mushroomed rapidly to an exaggerated number of ninety!

How can there be so many teams in the main game!The duel field on Thomas Brau Mountain can't hold so many people competing together!

Feeling that the game has collapsed, the missionary urgently called a general meeting of chess pieces to discuss countermeasures.

After listening to the missionary's narration, the venue was silent, and no one spoke for a while.Strictly speaking, everyone present is responsible for such a problem, because it is everyone who decides to amend the rules.

After a long time, Qingshan coughed: "I think it's better not to tell the chess player about this."

Nuonuo nodded and nodded: "That's right, you can't tell your lord! Otherwise, you will be despised by him for a long time! You should quickly find a way."

The missionary said: "Even if you say that, the captain, there is nothing you can do for a while! It is impossible to go back on the result of being settled. These ninety teams must all enter the main match!"

Franklin, a burly man, said in a low voice: "But among the competitions we designed, there is no one suitable for so many teams to participate together?"

The missionary nodded, that was what was worrying him.

Aoyama suddenly remembered something: "I remember I asked the chess player about his original plan. He said that if he was asked to arrange the events of this year's competition, he would simply choose the battle royale and the ring mode to choose the final winner .”

Nuonuo said, "You mean..."

"I think we can learn from the adults' ideas and add the elements of battle royale to the first day of tomorrow's competition. The battle part is also set to the ring mode."

Daphne questioned: "This modification can indeed arrange ninety teams, but this is the last day's project, right? We can't use the same strategy every day."

There was a gleam of wisdom in Qing Shan's eyes: "No, what I mean is to add battle royale elements to a certain event, instead of directly using battle royale to compete. The purpose of this is to carry out 'secondary screening'!"

"Without special circumstances, it is impossible for the teams that have already been selected for the main match to be expelled." Qingshan explained his thoughts, "However, we can use some means to make some teams take the initiative, or have to withdraw from the competition. !For example... because of the serious injury in the battle, I can't get up again."

The chess pieces shine!Yes, in this way, the number of participating teams can be "reasonably" reduced!

The missionary nodded: "So now we need to design a special project to manually eliminate a group of teams who join in the fun! Then emphasize the rules, only teams of five can continue to participate!"

Zhang Xuqian, who had been listening quietly all this time, suddenly said, "The targeting of this is too obvious. We need to make some concessions in other areas in order to convince those guilds."

The missionary looked at the woman beside him: "What do you think?"

"Under the condition that the participating teams must be full, we can make concessions in terms of alternate members. Tell them that alternate members are no longer limited to a specific person, and they can temporarily switch specific candidates from all members of the guild."

Val's robot stand-in questioned: "But it's against the rules of the contest, right?"

Zhang Xuqian smiled sweetly: "So we must abide by the rules, and the replacement candidates also need to pass the test of magic power."

Nuonuo frowned: "You have made such a big circle, aren't you still targeting those guilds? If some of them can pass the challenge, they won't be eliminated easily, right?"

"But this complies with the regulations and can shut their mouths." Zhang Xuqian spread her hands, "You don't want a group of people to complain about our unfairness after the game, do you?"

Makes sense!The chess pieces looked at each other, and then decisively agreed with Zhang Xuqian's suggestion.

"Although it feels like you're planning something, but... let's do it this way!" Nuonuo finally made a decision.

Qingshan coughed and gathered everyone's rest power on him: "Then the next step is to determine which project to transform. I suggest using the project 'Obstacle Race' provided by Franklin... We can improve the mechanism traps in the track. A few levels, Franklin, the machine gun array that you rejected before can also be installed."

In order to solve the problem, a gentle and elegant Qingshan also worked hard.

Zhang Xuqian suggested: "Also, you can arrange the array of spells and set up traps to force each other into the battle. Only one person can stand up and walk out!"

"Great idea!" Daphne praised, "I have experts in this field in my technical team, and I will send them there immediately!"

Zhang Xuqian smiled slightly, Fairy Tail likes to fight in this way the most.

The missionary was on the scene, so he was under the most pressure, and he couldn't care less about being merciful at the moment: "Also, the number of participants in this project needs to be a little more, and we can no longer choose one person for each team. Three people will do!" In fact, he wished that all five of them would be on the field, eliminating most of the teams once and for all.Even the puppets behind him are no longer "evangelists", but "punishers" and "judges" covered with hideous barbs.

The electronic light in Val's eyes flickered one after another: "I've already made a design to modify the track. Then it's decided, let's report to the kingdom now. Also, in order to achieve the best results, we should inform these participating teams in advance Tell them about the rule changes and the first project to 'get ready'!"

Daphne became excited: "It looks like it will be very interesting, I must hurry back to watch the live version! Nuonuo, let's work hard and drive them back!"

Nuonuo nodded: "Then let's go down first and deal with the current battle."

The rest of the people also expressed that they would arrive as soon as possible.

After seeing everyone off, the missionary lifted the magic circle, and went to deal with these things with Val.
