21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 678 - 674: The Difference between Gods and Men (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

But for deities who have accumulated thousands of years, they have already seen too many such ephemeral beings; it's easy to step off the board, but becoming a chess player is no simple task. Even with talent and qualifications, it still depends on having enough luck.

Therefore, regarding Chen Yu's claim that a chess piece is of no use, Lord Miketsu felt it hardly mattered. If one chess piece is not useful, simply replace it with another. Besides, the strength of this chess piece was already sufficient to serve its function; what Chen Yu was hoping for was merely for it to play a larger role and make the plan more perfect.

But as for Lord Miketsu, She never held expectations for chess pieces beyond their role in the game; having them is just icing on the cake, lacking them does not affect the progress of the game.

It was through conversation with Lord Miketsu that Chen Yu realized this and came to understand that his expectations for Yamada Nobuyosuke had indeed been too high. Even if his strength did not improve, as a Legendary-rank powerhouse, he was still able to play his part.

But now that he had casually made an additional move, it had an impact on him; perhaps it could yield even greater results?

Chen Yu was different from Lord Miketsu after all. What Lord Miketsu pursued was merely to break free from the shackles of faith and to advance further on the path of deities. She did not have many extravagant expectations.

It could be seen as a sign of steadiness or equally, it could be interpreted as conservatism.

But what Chen Yu really wanted was more than that.

To become a deity not bound by faith was just the beginning of realizing everything Chen Yu desired.

"Regarding the Matchmaking God, Lord Miketsu, have you made arrangements?" Chen Yu wouldn't reveal his thoughts; his cooperation with Lord Miketsu was a matter of mutual benefit and support. As for how much of what he wanted he could get, that depended on his own ability to win from the game board, not on the other's charity.

The Matchmaking God was a crucial figure in the plans of Lord Miketsu and Chen Yu. Besides being able to see the Red String of Fate, His role in the entire plan was indispensable.

Therefore, Chen Yu's concern for the Matchmaking God didn't surprise Lord Miketsu, who simply smiled and answered, "Xiao Yuan and Suzuhime have gone out. A chef mentioned that only in his own kitchen could he produce the most perfect cuisine. Xiao Yuan was quite interested and said he would visit today."

"I see, given the current situation, he indeed doesn't need to continue sitting at the Metropolitan Police Department." Having heard this from Lord Miketsu, Chen Yu nodded in understanding. Although the Matchmaking God's role was important, precisely because of this importance, He couldn't be confined to the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department. His role in the upcoming plans was extremely significant.

After discussing the plan with Lord Miketsu once more, Chen Yu then left the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, as he left, Yamada Nobuyosuke still followed him.

"You can drop me off at the tea restaurant at the intersection up ahead." Chen Yu was well aware of Yamada Nobuyosuke, who had been following him since he left the Metropolitan Police Department, but he didn't stop immediately. Instead, he asked his driver to drop him at a tea restaurant.

After getting out of the car and telling the driver not to wait and to head back to the hospital, Chen Yu entered the tea restaurant, found a seat, and ordered a cup of coffee.

While Chen Yu was drinking his coffee, Yamada Nobuyosuke naturally saw him enter the tea restaurant, understanding that this Human Demi-God was waiting for him.

But Yamada Nobuyosuke did not dare to enter that tea restaurant. Firstly, he didn't know what to say to the Demigod once inside and, secondly, in his eyes, that tea restaurant was a place of great danger. An intimidating aura emanated from it, increasing the pressure on him with every step closer to the tea restaurant.

Yamada Nobuyosuke had thought about retreating, but faced with a chance that might... no, that was sure to break through to Legendary, how could he let it slip by?

The first time he had met Chen Yu, the latter was still at Sub-Legendary rank, but when he appeared alongside deities, he had become a Human Demi-God. In a short period, he had surpassed what Yamada Nobuyosuke hadn't achieved in half a lifetime. How could he be content with that?

It's not that Chen Yu hadn't given him a chance, but he had deviated from the path simply because he felt grateful. This left him feeling regret along with an overwhelming sense of despair and frustration. He hadn't seized the chance when it was in his grasp, and now, with another opportunity before him, was he going to miss it again?
