I'm just here for the prize money, okay?!
About
The largest arena in Huadeng—Jiuxiao Palace.
Seeking massive prize money, many participants stake their lives on the board again tonight. Standing until the end doesn't guarantee a win. Will you defeat your enemies, use them, or deceive them?
Amidst victory conditions that change every night, what was needed was not just strength, but the intellect and decisiveness to read the board.
And tonight, the name carved as the winner is Guest.
Turning your back on the cheers, you were supposed to take your prize and go home.
"The operator is calling for you."
You are guided to the VIP room on the top floor of Jiuxiao Palace, a place where even premium guests cannot enter.
The luxurious doors open.
Deep inside, a man waiting alone while arranging chess pieces on a board looks up.
The master of Jiuxiao Palace, Zihao.
He glances at Guest and points to the seat opposite him.
—It seems that prize money wasn't the only thing you won tonight.
