Watching the white bishop turn black, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, asking with a hint of surprise, "It seems another piece has been moved into play?"

"Not one, but two. Though, they might as well be just one, since one of the pieces really isn't of much use," Lord Miketsu's demeanor was neither good nor bad, but her words clearly had an implied meaning.

"Is that so? Even then, as long as it has entered the game, it can play its part," Chen Yu said, as he picked up another White Knight and placed it beside the bishop Lord Miketsu had just placed on the board.

This time, the White Knight turned black successfully.

With the entrance of this bishop and knight, the pieces on the board had now formed five factions.

King, Queen and Bishop, Queen, Chariot, Bishop and Knight.

Lord Miketsu, observing the situation on the board, couldn't help but smile slightly, "It seems the first Queen is somewhat isolated in power!"

"I've prepared a powerful knight for her; it's just not yet time for this knight to enter the fray," Chen Yu explained, while simultaneously tapping the White Knight he had set aside.

Lord Miketsu nodded in understanding, clearly grasping the meaning behind Chen Yu's words.

However, looking at the solitary Chariot on the board, she suddenly asked, "The Chariot is indeed traveling its preordained path, but its strength is not enough to sway the entire game."

"The Chariot is merely the vanguard; the soldier who will really shake the game has long been ready." Following Chen Yu's words, Lord Miketsu then noticed that on one side of the board, five white pawns were neatly arrayed, waiting to storm into the game.

"So it turns out that the once idle piece has now become the trump card that determines the direction of the game?" Lord Miketsu nodded in understanding as he looked at the few soldiers.

"I've finished all my preparations on this side, just waiting for the knight to enter the game before we can start," Chen Yu said, putting aside his study of the game. He leaned back in his chair, rested his hands on his knees, and looked at Lord Miketsu, "But after the game begins, how shall we solve the problem of the 'invisible king'?"

At this question, Lord Miketsu reached for a white bishop lying next to him and placed it in a corner of the chessboard, "If the king is not seen, then a new king shall be crowned."

As soon as these words were spoken, the white bishop transformed into a golden king.

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised at this, "Are you truly willing to part with it?"

"One must let go to gain; if one is unwilling to let go, how can they obtain?" Lord Miketsu replied to Chen Yu, yet His gaze towards the golden king on the chessboard was somewhat complex.

Chen Yu nodded slightly, and without further ado, he picked up a white queen and placed it beside the golden king, "Since you've already made your choice, then I won't hold back."

Once the piece was set down, it too turned golden.

"That is an appropriate reward," affirmed Lord Miketsu with a nod as he saw this.

Chen Yu was very satisfied with Lord Miketsu's answer, but he seemed to have some concerns, "The pieces on the chessboard will move according to the established rules, but what about the pieces outside the board? I don't want a third color of pieces to appear on this chessboard."

"Rest assured, their reach is not that long," Lord Miketsu confidently assured him regarding this concern.

"Is that so, then I'll look forward to it," Chen Yu saw this answer from Lord Miketsu and did not probe further, simply nodding and then relaxing his expression, "Now that our serious business is concluded, would Lord Miketsu like to stay and sample my chef's skills?"

"Is it delicious?" Lord Miketsu's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Yu's invitation.

Chen Yu smiled confidently, stood up, and replied, "Naturally, it's delicious."

In the hospital's operating room, another patient lay on the operating table.

However, today's lead surgeon was not Chen Yu, but Kohinata Kaori, and this was the first patient she was responsible for.

As the first surgery she personally led in the hospital, Kohinata Kaori naturally performed with utmost seriousness. She planned every detail carefully before the surgery and repeatedly checked each step during the surgery to avoid any problems.

"Suturing complete, surgery finished," Kohinata Kaori placed the suture device aside on a tray, took a deep breath, and declared the surgery over.

"Good work," the assisting doctor, who was ready to take this chance to say something, responded. However, a voice came from the observation room above.

Kohinata Kaori turned her head and saw Chen Yu standing in the observation room.

"Well done, it was a splendid surgery," Chen Yu praised his junior sister, and at the same time told her, "Clean up, I'll take you out for some good food."

"Yes, senior brother!" Kohinata Kaori happily agreed, quickly running towards the door of the operating room, leaving the assistant with a look of disappointed silence.
