Yujingtai.

Seeing her brother having a friendly exchange with the young man from the Privy Council, Ning Guang couldn't help but smile.

But...the time is almost here and it's time for the game to begin...

Then, Ningguang gently raised a hand, and the golden rock elements gradually poured out from under the wooden platform and gathered in the open space between the players on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, the rock element violently penetrated into the open space, and a huge chessboard rose up.

From the outside, the chessboard is full of fog and its contents cannot be seen at all.

"Is this the fog of war again..."

Ningzhe frowned when he saw the chessboard looking like this.

It is not unusual for the fog of war to appear in the Liyue Millennium game, and logically speaking, this situation can better reflect the strategic thinking of the players on both sides.

It's just...it's been used once in the knockout rounds, will it be used again in the finals?

Not only Ningzhe, but also Natalie and Feng Yan across from each other frowned slightly.

While the players were thinking, Ningguang clapped his hands gently, and a special giant "screen" was put up.

Along with him, there was a middle-aged man with blond hair.

This middle-aged man also dragged a strange-shaped machine, carefully selected the best viewing position, and began to play with the machine.

"Bernard?"

Glancing over there accidentally, Ningzhe discovered that the foreigner playing with the video camera was actually Bernard, who had recorded the storyteller earlier.

"Do you know that Fontaine guy?"

Jiang Guo didn't know where he got the energy from, so he raised his head again and spoke with some confusion.

"Well. Just yesterday, he recorded one of my storytelling..."

"That guy is an interesting person. He said he was going to Wangshu Inn to film some kitchen haunting incident..." Jiang Guo yawned and said absently: "It's just that I just saw Uncle Yanxiao's frightened look from a distance.

His face made him afraid to go in."

“Is Wangshu Inn haunted?”

Hearing this, Ningzhe frowned subconsciously.

There are actually ghosts causing trouble in that place? He remembered that the entire Wangshu Inn was an organization established by Qixing to support the Demon-Conquering Holy Temple, and Mandrill would often stay there...

Even if the mandrill is around, this ghost still dares to cause trouble?

"Weird, right?"

Jiang Guo sighed, looking a little helpless.

Although he was not afraid of ghosts, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened every day when he saw the frightened look on that strong man Yan Xiao's face.

In addition, his master spent all day fishing and didn't care about anything.

Jiang Guo went to ask, but he pretended to be cold again and didn't say a word, just shook his head and smiled.

Jiang Guo was so angry that he threw several boulders on the spot, frightening the fish hundreds of meters around and sending them running around.

Seeing this situation, his master's smile became a little gentler.

This also led to... He came very early today and even looked like he hadn't woken up.

"Why..."

Jiang Guo sighed again, with an expression on his face that said, "It's so troublesome, I don't want to worry about it anymore."

"Um..."

Seeing Jiang Guo's expression, Ningzhe didn't know what to say, so he just pretended to look at the chessboard seriously.

And when he looked at it, he saw an incredible scene.

On the original Liyue Millennium chessboard, apart from the main cities of both players, there were no other large-scale city defense buildings. However, on this chessboard, there were three cities comparable in size to the main city.

They are evenly distributed on the chessboard according to a certain proportion, and they seem to have a pivotal position.

At the same time, Ningguang spoke.

"The content of this final is a little different from the past. Victory is not defined based on the players' capital..."

Then, Ning Guang waved his hand gently, and the three cities on the chessboard started to light up.

"...The conditions for victory are to capture two of the middle cities on the basis of ensuring a main city."

"As long as this goal can be achieved, even if a certain party's armaments and funds are completely reduced to zero, it will not have any impact."

"Other than that, there are no other rules."

Ning Guang paused for a moment, then looked at Natalie and Feng Yan on the red side, and said softly: "So... do the players on both sides have any objections?"

"No."

Natalie shook her head cleanly without any hesitation.

This kind of urban offensive and defensive battle will inevitably lead to large-scale group battles, and this is what she is good at.

Seeing that his teammates had no objections, Feng Yan also nodded: "No objections, Master Ningguang."

"very good..."

"We have no objection either!"

Before Ning Guang could look at Lan Fang, Ning Zhe couldn't wait to speak, and at the same time, he pulled Jiang Guo, who looked sleepy.

"Huh? Oh...no objection."

"Since both parties have no objections..." In front of everyone, Ningguang resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Ningzhe and spoke in a calm tone.

"Then...I announce that the finals of the Zhuyue Festival [Liyue Millennium] have begun."

The moment Ning Guang finished speaking, a familiar feeling lingered in Ning Zhe's heart.

The next second, his eyes returned to the perspective of the previous knockout match.

But this time, he could see Jiang Guo next to him and his movements clearly.

"The rule this time is occupation?"

After entering the chessboard, Jiang Guo put away his lazy look and asked in a calm tone.

Ningzhe and Jiang Guo attacked the surrounding buildings almost at the same time, constantly investing capital to acquire strategic buildings one after another.

"Yes...so, what do you think we should do?"

Hearing Jiang Guo's words, Ningzhe smiled and asked a question.

"How to do it?"

Jiang Guo casually threw a chess piece to occupy the dock and repeated Ningzhe's question.

What’s interesting is that even though the two people were having a conversation, the movement of the chess pieces in their hands did not slow down at all, and the blue side’s circle of influence was soon formed.

Moreover, as if they had a clear understanding of each other, they had a clear division of labor without mutual agreement.

It seems that they are all doing what they should do.

"You can fight if you want, but I think it's too tiring to fight Natalie head-on. What do you think?"

Arranging the newly occupied "workshop" to start producing a large amount of armaments, Ningzhe said with a smile.

"I must be tired. The woman from Nata across from me is so good at fighting. I don't want to face her..."

Although he said so, Jiang Guo's tone did not fluctuate at all.

After dispatching several merchant ships for foreign trade, Jiang Guo stretched and spoke slowly:

"[Master of Philosophy], your identity is about to be exposed anyway, so you don’t need me to explain, right?"

"hehe..."

Ningzhe smiled without saying a word, equipped the troops he trained with sophisticated equipment, and then looked at Jiang Guo.

"Tsk... I just don't like talking to smart people like you..."

Seeing that Ningzhe didn't speak, Jiang Guo let out a "tsk", and then said in a helpless tone: "Since neither of us wants to compete with that Nata woman... let's change."

really...

Ningzhe was not surprised that Jiang Guo would say such words, so he just nodded slightly and opened his lips slightly:

"Can."

The tone was calm, without any ups and downs.

"..."

Jiang Guo rolled his eyes at Ningzhe, but did not argue with him.

Look what that guy's workshop produces?

Although they are all the most sophisticated armor weapons, they all choose light armor intentionally or unintentionally.

Light armor, elite troops, high mobility...
