"Right." Richard looked at the clown and asked aloud, "Mr. Clown, are you going to invite me again this time to stay and watch your wonderful circus performance? Yesterday, I saw it in the village Unless your show today is different from yesterday’s, it’s not a pleasant experience to watch the same show twice.”

"Then you are disappointed, I'm afraid I can't really invite you again." The clown said, with apology, "Today's performance is the same as yesterday, after all, the new program cannot be made after thinking about it. We use the same program to continuously perform back and forth in an area. When everyone has seen it, we will change to another place. This is our way of survival."

"That's it," the clown said again. "Although I can't invite you to watch the show again, I can invite you to play a little game with me for a pastime."

"Little game? Now?"

"Yes, now." The clown nodded, sure.

"What kind of game is that?" Li Cha asked, squinting at the clown.At this time, he was very clear in his heart that refusal can never be refused. Although the clown seemed to mention it casually, he did not guess wrong. This is the highlight of the clown's preparation.

Today, he encountered many hidden hunter traps along the way, several times he nearly broke the horse’s leg, and several times he encountered beast attacks, which should be made by the clown, or by the hands behind the clown.

The purpose of this is to make him appear in the town at the right time, meet with the circus, and then let the clown take advantage of the opportunity to do something, just like the clown tried to persuade him yesterday.

Yesterday's persuasion and teaching was forced back by him with philosophical knowledge. I don't know what it will be today.

What could it be?Richard slightly thought curiously.

The next moment the clown replied: "Here, this is it!"

As he talked, the clown tricked out a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces from his arms.

Put the chess board on the ground, the clown squatted down, took the black and white chess pieces from the two boxes, and quickly placed them on the wooden board.

Richard saw that many chess pieces were carved with animals of various types: lion, tiger, cheetah, elephant, zebra, bison, antelope, monkey, chimpanzee...

There are also chess pieces carved with figures of different identities, and there are many types: kings, ministers, knights, soldiers, farmers...

The chessboard is the most common checkerboard. The clown keeps putting chess pieces in the checkerboard, and soon fills up the blocks.Then the clown took out one black and white last two clown-like pieces from the box and placed them in the grids at the two ends of the board.

Looking up, the clown looked at Richard, and slowly said: "Introduce, what you see now is something called Joker Chess. This is my invention. You can think of it as a beast chess played by children. However, compared with the real fighting animal chess, there are more pieces and the rules are more complicated."

After a pause, the clown taught the rules: "First of all, it is the clown piece, which is the most important piece in the game. The way the clown piece started walking was to slant three squares, like this. Then, he had three lives Every time you die, the walking style will change, respectively...

Outside of the clown, there are human pieces.The king of mankind is the most powerful chess piece, but it should be noted that he cannot directly eat the enemy's chess pieces. He must ensure that the other human chess pieces of his own are beside him in order to attack and eat the chess pieces.And the different pieces around you have different attack powers, and the pieces you can eat are also different.For example, if a minister is in this position, then it can kill the farmer whose enemy is in this position...

Then there is the animal card, which can be used to attack any piece of the enemy. Whether it can be successful or not requires the calculation of attack power.In addition, the balance between the number of animal pieces and the number of human pieces must be ensured, that is to say, animal pieces should not be allowed to exceed human pieces, otherwise it will lead to animal tide.Even if the number of human chess pieces has an advantage, the animal chess pieces cannot be allowed to gather together, which will cause a wave of small animals...

The safest way to treat animal pieces is to separate each animal piece, for example, lions and monkeys should be separated.In one piece, the lion will eat the monkey directly, and in the next twelve rounds, it will not be able to eat anything else because it is full..."

For a long time, the clown's rules were finally finished. If the rest of the people might directly shoot the chessboard on the clown's mask, and then asked: "This is what you said, there are more chess pieces, the rules are a bit more complicated?!"

There are more than one piece of chess pieces with complicated rules, it is simply beyond description!

After listening to Rao, Richard only used special memory methods to memorize the rules forcefully, barely knowing how to play the chess piece.

Rubbing his eyebrows and trying to digest the rules, Richard looked at the clown and asked, "Mr. Clown, do you really want to play this game with me?"

"Yes, how are you feeling?"

"It's a bit tedious, but it's also interesting."

"Fun is just right." The clown clapped. "Because of this game, I have considered many rules in reality, and it will give people an immersive experience. How about, if it is not dark, come and play with me."

"If I refuse, Mr. Clown will be very sad, right?" Li Cha asked.

"It's not sad to be sad." The clown shook his head. "But I will be disappointed. After all, this game of mine is a bit different. In my opinion, only smart people can play. And smart people, after all, are rare. It’s not easy for you. Yesterday, the conversation between you and me left a deep impression on me. If you don’t play, then I may not find the second person to play with me for a long time.”

"Well then, I will play with Mr. Clown." Li Cha squatted down and looked at the clown and asked, "So who of us will take the first step? Toss copper coins to decide?"

"No, I can go first," the clown said.

"Ok?"

The clown explained: "The rule of clown chess is, who is in the west, who will go first, and I am in the west now. Of course, you can also change places with me, do you want to change?"

Richard looked at the clown and blinked. The current situation involves a very subtle psychological game: before he can get more information, he can't determine which one has the advantage of going first and going later.Although it seems that the clown wants to choose the first move, what if the clown is intentional?

For a long while, Richard didn't get up and change his position. He made a pleased action and said, "Since this is the case, then Mr. Clown will take the first step."

"Okay." The clown nodded, and started moving the pawns politely, and Richard moved with it.
