After Yao Ziyan pointed it out to his face, Luo Chuan made a promise. "I won't do that again."
Things became much more normal after that. Yao Ziyan took the initiative to attack, while Luo Chuan defended passively.
In Gomoku, the game ended once five pieces were connected in a row, so the opponent had to be blocked as early as three connected pieces.
Whenever that happened, Yao Ziyan would continue placing pieces, linking them to the original three and turning them into four.
Even if both ends were blocked, there would still be more room to expand.
"What are you playing?" Yu Wei stopped in her tracks. "Go? It doesn't look like it."
She had a basic understanding of Go and would occasionally play a few rounds on the Magic Phone when she had nothing else to do.
But judging from the way Luo Chuan and Yao Ziyan were placing pieces on the board, it would not be an exaggeration to call it utter chaos from the perspective of Go.
"It's not Go. It's Gomoku," Yao Ziyan explained.
"Gomoku?" Yu Wei was puzzled. The name was completely unfamiliar to her; she had never heard of it before.
Like Dou Dizhu and the other things Luo Chuan had brought out before, it had never existed on the Tianlan Continent.
"Just as the name says, you win as long as five of your pieces connect together." Yao Ziyan smiled.
She casually placed a piece, cutting off Luo Chuan's plan for victory.
After learning through these games, she had already completely mastered how Gomoku was played.
"It's that simple? There aren't any other rules?" Yu Wei was rather curious. "Compared with Go, that's worlds apart."
"It really is that simple." Yao Ziyan nodded. Gomoku was more of a leisurely form of entertainment.
