Chapter 162: Choice
, she remained silent, not uttering a single word. She didn't say anything inappropriate or out of line.Please note that I have only translated the text content within the > tags and left the HTML tag...In a game of life and death, calculating forward progress isn't about how far you've moved, but rather how many steps away you are from the center point. Also, there are many linear paths that correspond to the central area.
This appears to be an HTML tag, not text that needs translation. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
If Jiang Wang is currently 300 steps away from the center point, then his forward step would be 700 steps. If he now walks one step to the right, he happens to be on the path corresponding to the center point area of another straight line, then his forward step remains unchanged.

If the path one position to the right doesn't directly correspond to the center area, then his advancement becomes a retreat, leaving only six hundred and ninety-nine positions.
Because of the complexity of the life-and-death chess game, there are often times when detours are needed, leading to wasted time and energy without much progress.
Relatively strong competitors are mainly concentrated in the first tier, and at the tail end, the Qinghuo Department hasn't encountered any formidable opponents.
No stone soldiers, passes, or other tribal forces could stop Jiang Wang.
After the second "birth point" was recorded, the Celebration Fire Department began searching for the third.

When night comes, the farthest point of life that holds sway is the position advanced for this day.
But new problems have arisen.

A life-and-death chess game consumes an enormous amount of physical energy. Although the warriors participating in the life-and-death chess game have their extraordinary powers removed, they are usually physically strong on a normal day. However, within the life-and-death chess game, the same actions result in a doubled consumption of physical energy.
Although the Qing Huo Department warriors had only been tasked with observing the battlefield and running, Jiang Wang single-handedly resolved all the combat. But the sound of panting was still rising and falling, becoming more and more frequent.
> Running for a long time, your body will also find it unbearable.
A warrior was running and suddenly collapsed to the ground, limp.
The nearby pawns quickly helped him up, helplessly looking at Jiang Wang: “He’s exhausted and can’t run anymore.”
The warrior, sprawled on the ground, appeared utterly drained. He could only breathe, with no other movement whatsoever.
Leaning on his pawn, his expression was very pained.
Because the rules of the game "Chess of Life and Death" restrict movement, it is meaningless to leave a teammate who cannot advance stranded on the spot.
The best choice everyone knows — is to kill this teammate who can't move forward, in this way allowing them to withdraw from the dangerous situation.
Only by shedding the burdens can a team gain faster progress.

Every warrior who participates in the game of life and death understands the weight they carry. Therefore, they are mentally prepared for the fate of being left behind.
However, when truly facing such a possibility, one can't help but feel tormented.
"Carry him." Jiang Wang said casually.
Pawns have the largest number, but their "rule of vision" range is the smallest. Although they can see forward, backward, left, and right diagonally, they generally exist as "substitutes". They are not very valuable.
Only when the ranks of chess players and their counterparts are depleted does it become necessary for them to step forward and explore the field of vision.
“Let's retreat back to the last 'spawn point' for a break.” Jiang Wang made the decision and turned back first.
Although it's still some time until dark.
Celebration Fire Element's Birthdate thought Jiang Wang's decision was very incorrect, but he was also extremely glad that Jiang Wang was able to make such an "incorrect" decision.
As for Jiang Wang, they were just temporary teammates who came together to attack the victory fruit.
But to him, these were all comrades who shared his daily life.
If it were up to him, for the sake of the entire Qihubù, he might have to make a choice that would be painful for himself. Thankfully, the master of the game is Jiang Wang.
>
He obeys orders without hesitation and never has to face difficult choices.
The warriors of the Qinghuo Department all let out a sigh of relief. They did indeed still want to continue, but their bodies simply wouldn't allow it.
The game of life and death seems to constantly remind us of the word "choice".
But a very realistic problem had to be faced—none of these warriors possessed superhuman abilities. One warrior's stamina depleting meant the others' were probably nearing their limit as well.
Jiang Wang chose not to give up on "excess baggage" for two reasons. First, he didn't want to abandon his teammates, even temporary ones. Second, he hoped to alleviate the problem.
As the team returned to their starting position to rest, Jiang Wang spoke up: "Now I'll teach you a breathing technique to help you adjust your breath and relieve physical fatigue."
This minor technique can be refined slightly in physical cultivation methods. The floating cultivation system fundamentally revolves around totemic power and relies on it excessively, unlike the complexity of the current world.
After giving them another lesson, Jiang Wang let them practice on their own. Unwilling to waste time, he began tending to the isolated island of heaven and earth.
In such an atmosphere, the Qihuo clan's second night in the game of life and death finally arrived.
>
Summing up the day's harvest, the Fire Department advanced 265 people, adding to the 30 people from the afternoon of the previous day, for a total of 295 people.
Based on the positions of all occupied "life points" displayed by the night king's authority contract, the Qinghuo department has moved away from the tail end of the entire life and death chess competition team and started competing in the middle.
Jiang Wang's first concern was still the Chi Lei Department.
It's not difficult to deduce the positions of some teams based on these "spawn points." For example, who could occupy the "spawn point" closest to the inner circle besides the Red Thunder Squad represented by Lei Zhanyuan
The Akare no bu's current position is a total of 490 places. Compared to when it was looked at at noon, it has only advanced 77 places.
Similarly, due to the time wasted by procrastination, the Qihuo Department only advanced 85 positions compared to when they observed Wang Quan's covenant at noon. The distance between the two sides is still narrowing. But the speed gap is not as fast as it was in the morning!
“So this is not a sign of peaceful coexistence. This is the result of mutual struggle and delay. In the final stage, they were both accelerating, only advancing by more than two hundred positions because of each other's strong interference.”

Jiang Wang was certain this guess was the correct one. With Lei Zhanyan and Li Fengyao's abilities and methods, it was possible for them to erupt at an incredible speed in the final stage.
Now, more than two hundred units have advanced in half a day. The speed doesn't seem to have slowed down, but for the final sprint, it is already lagging behind. This must be the result of mutual restraint.
But this result was not a good thing for Jiang Wang, who aspired to be the best.
From the perspective of "chess," Li Fengyao did not stop Lei Zhanyan's progress, and Lei Zhanyan was also unable to shake off Li Fengyao.
But besides continuing to expect Li Fenghang's performance, he himself had no other way to delay Lei Zhanyan.
This is just a test.
It's still too far away, we can't even reach it.
Jiang Wang took one last look at the Kingly Mandate before leaping forward.

He understood one thing—in this game of life and death, he certainly wasn't the only one feeling anxious.
