Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 378 - 375: A Worthy Opponent

Lin Wanwan had an AI cheat tool, so she dared not be careless when playing chess against Xiao Chong.

She was very worried that her phone’s hardware might not support the AI’s calculations, causing her to lose the game.

Lin Wanwan bought a high-end model of this phone’s processor. Except for the pre-installed system software, she didn’t download even a single extra app.

It only had the standalone AI Ah Q Professional Edition app installed and set to default weight, specifically for playing chess.

This smart AI couldn’t connect to the internet, so its strength couldn’t compare to entities like Wild Fox Absolute Art that defeated top human chess players. It took 30 seconds to calculate each move at the professional ninth dan level.

Even so, when competing against top human professional players, it’s estimated to have about a 70% loss rate.

Since Lin Wanwan wasn’t sure of Xiao Chong’s chess skill level, she treated him as a top human player. Despite having a cheat tool, she didn’t expect to win easily, so she dedicated herself fully.

Moreover, to bring this phone to the Great Tang, Lin Wanwan lost nine new phones, equivalent to spending nearly one hundred thousand to buy a phone usable in the Great Tang. She also needed a solar charger, which cost several thousand more.

However, the money was well spent, and after an hour, Lin Wanwan "won" the game.

"I lost." Xiao Chong scratched his head, feeling somewhat perplexed.

This game was different from the previous chess, and because Lin Wanwan seemed so confident, he took it seriously, yet still lost.

Xiao Chong knew Lin Wanwan’s level in Go, just slightly better than a beginner, so how could she improve so astonishingly in just a few months?

Observers Dugu Di and Xiao Ce found it even more unbelievable than Xiao Chong himself. They both understood Xiao Chong’s level, so how could he lose?

Le’an Village Lady is actually this terrifying?!

Lin Wanwan chuckled, "Yes, cousin, you lost! As we agreed, the loser has to promise the winner something. I’ve won both chess and Go, so it’s time for my request!"

Xiao Chong reached out his hand, "Cousin, please go ahead."

Lin Wanwan didn’t ask for much, she only said, "This shouldn’t be difficult for cousin. First, I would like a piece of cousin’s calligraphy."

Xiao Chong laughed, "Sure, that’s a small matter. What’s the second request?"

Lin Wanwan gave a mischievous smile, "I’ll save the second request for later when I think of it. Just don’t forget, cousin."

Xiao Chong was a bit surprised but agreed with a hearty laugh, "Hahaha, alright, I won’t forget, and as long as I can do it, I won’t refuse."

"It’s a promise then, let’s shake on it!"

Lin Wanwan smiled and shook hands with Xiao Chong, then planned to comfort the bored and soundly sleeping Qingyu.

After watching the game, Dugu Di felt an itch to challenge himself against a master, and couldn’t help but speak up, "Village Lady, may I be honored to have a game with you?"

Lin Wanwan looked up at him, wanting to say, "Your eyes can’t see, can you just play by listening?"

Wouldn’t you have to keep the board layout in mind at all times and calculate the moves?!

What an extraordinary operation!

But since he asked, Lin Wanwan didn’t refuse, especially since he belonged to the Dugu Family and was Xiao Chong’s cousin; she had to give some face.

"Sure, let’s have another round."

Lin Wanwan waved to Yun Shang nearby and said softly, "Take Qingyu down to rest first, stay with her tonight."

Yun Shang stepped forward lightly and responded, "Yes!"

Lin Wanwan would certainly not underestimate someone like Dugu Di who could discover anomalies in fireworks just by touching and smelling.

To show respect, Lin Wanwan gave it her all, again setting the Go AI to professional ninth dan level and challenging the human players.

After an hour and a half, Lin Wanwan stared wide-eyed at the board in disbelief; the AI almost lost to someone who was half-blind!

Dugu Di was different from Xiao Chong. Xiao Chong had previously played a few games with Lin Wanwan, absorbing the modern Go strategic patterns, but Dugu Di’s chess style was very ancient, like the recorded strategies of ancient players, aggressive—charge if you can, kill if possible.

Dugu Di’s chess path was completely mismatched with his frail appearance, and there were hardly any calm moves.

A man often seen with white silk tied around his eyes gave the first impression of being frail and needing care, but playing chess revealed a completely different feeling to Lin Wanwan.

Honestly, Lin Wanwan even felt that beneath Dugu Di’s calm exterior there might be a rebellious soul?

If it weren’t for the cheat tool, Lin Wanwan wouldn’t be able to beat him; even with it, it was actually a narrow victory.

As with playing against Xiao Chong, shortly after the game started, Lin Wanwan couldn’t understand why the AI was making certain moves, completely copying its suggestions as instructed. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Phew... The Village Lady is truly formidable; I lost. It’s a pity it’s already late; otherwise, I’d want to play another round." Dugu Di sighed lightly, feeling a sense of yearning.

Lin Wanwan chuckled dryly, "Dugu brother, thank you for the concession. We have plenty of time to spar in the future."

Seeing the game was over, Xiao Chong, who had been circling the fan to study, turned around and asked Lin Wanwan, "Cousin, who made this thing?"

Lin Wanwan raised her sleeve to stifle a yawn before replying, "I came up with it when I was bored and had Uncle Three from the clan help make it. It’s fairly usable."

Xiao Chong’s eyes showed strong interest. He smiled slightly, "I’m very curious about this novelty. Can I borrow it for a few days, cousin?"

Lin Wanwan responded cheerfully, "Since cousin is interested, take it. Anyway, my house has made several of them."

Xiao Chong bowed, "Thank you, cousin."

Lin Wanwan returned the gesture, "No need for formalities, cousin."

"It’s late, I caused a lot of disturbance today, Village Lady, goodbye."

Dugu Di stood up and bowed, followed by Xiao Ce, who had been silently watching the game beside him.

Everyone bowed and left, with Sun Chuyao escorting them out of the mansion.

Lin Wanwan took the maid Hong Yan back to her room, declining her service, and let Yun Shang, who was watching over the sleeping Qingyu on the Tatami Bed, leave together.

Then Lin Wanwan bolted the door and entered the specially designed and customized bathroom, opened the Space-Time Gate, returned to the modern era, entered the first floor of her villa’s bathroom, and quickly showered.

In terms of living comfort and convenience, the Great Tang can’t be compared with the modern era. Just speaking of bathing, the conditions in the Great Tang are nowhere near the modern sanitary facilities; it can’t even compare when it comes to washing and drying hair.

Fortunately, Lin Wanwan traveled back and forth through time easily, bathing and shampooing in the modern era, sleeping and relaxing in the Great Tang. She enjoyed modern bathroom facilities while also enjoying the Great Tang’s eight-foot ivory bed, arranging the screen, colored curtains, and the pillow seat one by one. When tired, there were maid shoulders and back massage services, it couldn’t get any more comfortable.
