Chapter 230 – Seizing another opportunity "Tang Tang, you're amazing! Today I'll make you something delicious! Just tell Brother Lin what you want to eat!" Niu Naitang had become a chess cultivator, and Lin Jichen was genuinely happy for her. It wasn't for any personal gain; it was because the people around him achieving success in "Tale of Immortal" meant that when the two worlds merged in the future, they wouldn't be left behind in the new era. They would have skills to rely on and the ability to protect themselves. That's why he encouraged Tang Tang to play the game. Her aunt didn't play "Tale of Immortal," but when Qin Xiaowei became a big star, Tang Tang could act as her little bodyguard. Niu Naitang, pleased with Lin Jichen's praise, chuckled, "No need, Brother Lin. Today, Tang Tang will stay in the game all day." "Oh? Why? Not eating?" "That old grandpa master said he wants to play chess with me. He also said if I can win one game, he'll reward me with a book. If I win two games, he'll give me two books." Tang Tang waved her fists on the other end, "Today, Tang Tang will win at least ten games! I'll make him give me ten books~" Lin Jichen felt excited for her. Winning one game for a book? It had to be a skill book! Chess cultivator skills were incredibly useful. If Tang Tang could get a few more, she'd immediately become a top-tier control-type support. "So, who do you think is better at chess, you or that old grandpa?" Lin Jichen asked expectantly, worried Tang Tang might lose. Tang Tang replied, "We're both good." "What do you mean?" Lin Jichen asked. Tang Tang explained, "I can win against grandpa, and grandpa can win against me. It's really fun! He's the best chess player I've ever met!" Lin Jichen laughed at her words. It seemed Tang Tang had finally found a worthy opponent. This chess prodigy had found someone who could match her skills. Indeed, it had to be someone from the Xianxia world. The old men in the real-world community just wouldn't cut it (laugh-cry). "Brother Lin, I have to go now. Tang Tang needs to focus on chess. Tell Sister Ren not to cook for me today." With that, the little girl turned off the voice chat, likely already immersed in the sea of chess, battling with the old grandpa. Lin Jichen forgot to ask what position that old grandpa held on the mountain. He'd have to wait until she finished her chess games to find out. Lin Jichen relayed the message to Ren Lan, who was also in the game. Ren Lan clicked her tongue in amazement. Lin Jichen thought it was necessary to have a trump card to command this crazy girl in the future. "Deal! No problem. I won't lose anyway!" Ren Lan agreed readily after a brief thought. The two set their bet. Ren Lan continued with her tasks, while Lin Jichen resumed his search. He landed on a lonely mountain peak, where a dilapidated stone house stood. Inside, the stone house was empty and in disarray. Only dense cobwebs and thick dust filled the place. Lin Jichen's target was the floor beneath the stone house. He had learned about this from the "Number One in the Server" show in his previous life. A top-tier sword cultivator, Ye Wentian, who was almost as famous as Chen Yuan, had shared his fortuitous encounter on the show. Ye Wentian had once hidden from enemies in a stone house on the peak of Flying Thunder Mountain in the eastern part of Mu Xian Province. Unexpectedly, he accidentally pried open the floor of the stone house and found an Earth Grade sword technique called the Falling Thunder Sword Technique, which became his signature move. Lin Jichen, on his way to the Sword Pavilion, suddenly remembered that this place was close to Flying Thunder Mountain, so he hurried over to check. The stone house before him matched Ye Wentian's description exactly. Lin Jichen stared at the floor, lightly slashing with his sword, shattering the stone slabs. After cutting through the seventh slab, he finally saw a small box buried inside. A smile appeared on his lips. Sorry, Brother Ye, but I'll be taking your fortuitous encounter. In hindsight, watching the entire "Number One in the Server" show to cram knowledge was the wisest choice Lin Jichen had ever made. He never expected that the show would reveal many treasures and opportunities top experts had encountered. It allowed him to get ahead and seize these opportunities first. You couldn't blame him for being unscrupulous; they should've kept their mouths shut, hehe. Lin Jichen took out the box and opened it. Inside was indeed the Falling Thunder Sword Technique! And there were other items as well.
