Dad, please try harder

Zhao Baiyu was very surprised. She couldn't play chess herself, but she knew her grandfather's chess skills. When her grandfather was in Zhonghai, he beat all the invincible players in their community and rarely lost.

Now he actually loses to a high school student of similar age to himself? Is he another Li Zhiyi?

Li Zhiyi is the sister of her senior brother Li Zihe. It is said that she is a mathematical genius and is proficient in chess and Go. This year, she was admitted early to the Computer Science Department of Jiaotong University.

After the boy left, Zhao Baiyu asked his grandfather: "Grandpa, who is that boy?"

"He, his name is Qian Quan, and his family is from Guangming Town. Like your mother, he went to high school in No. 1 Middle School. It seems that he was admitted to Haidong Normal University in the college entrance examination this year, so now he works at a KFC store here during the summer to earn living expenses.

."

"Marine Normal University? There are many students from Shanghai Normal University in our class," Zhao Baiyu was slightly surprised, "Is he very good at chess?"

"Probably the most powerful one I have encountered so far." Mr. Hu said frankly.

"Okay." Zhao Baiyu himself is a martial arts genius, so he is relatively receptive to geniuses.

"He also looks very talented." Mr. Hu added casually.

"Indeed, I rarely meet such good-looking boys in Zhonghai." Zhao Baiyu didn't hesitate.

Mr. Hu said with a smile: "From now on, you will all study in Zhonghai. If you can get in touch with each other again, just treat it as friends."

Zhao Baiyu shook his head: "Forget it, I don't like to deal with gentle boys. Grandpa, you should know that."

Mr. Hu laughed noncommittally.

Zhao Baiyu's interest in Qian Quan has stopped here. She is now going to the gym to practice.

"Xiaoyu," Mr. Hu suddenly stopped Zhao Baiyu, "I know nothing about martial arts, but I have summed up a life experience over the years and want to tell you..."

"What?" Zhao Baiyu stopped and looked back at his grandfather.

“We often say that it’s cold at high places, and it’s easy to fall when you climb high. This is true, but as long as we always keep a little awe-inspiring spirit in our hearts, our feet are always rooted in the soil, and our eyes are always looking out, then even if

Standing at the top, I feel confident."

Zhao Baiyu thought for two seconds, nodded and said: "Yes, grandpa, I remember it!"

…

Qian Wenlin, who will participate in the chess competition tomorrow, showed excellent preparation today.

Not only did he not touch chess or read chess records all day long, he even rejected Qian Quan’s suggestion of playing two games to warm him up.

At the end of the day, I cook, read, write, and watch TV shows, and really enter the vacation mode.

Asking is to maintain a peaceful competitive mentality.

And he also has scientific proof:

"People have two learning modes: conscious acquisition and subconscious acquisition. What we can control and output under normal circumstances is the knowledge acquired by the conscious mind, and those flashes of inspiration in extreme states are the accumulation of subconsciousness.

Also called extraordinary performance.

"So, a good learner should give his subconscious mind enough space to absorb and digest knowledge."

Qian Quan felt that he was learning a very new knowledge, so he was convinced.

The next day, Qian Quan went to work as usual, while Qian Wenlin went to the city to participate in a competition with the chess club team.

Qian Quan understands his father's strength and is not worried about his advancement in the first round.

Sure enough, when the shift was over at noon, Qian Quan went to the employee lounge to check his phone and found that his father had sent a message in the "Happy Family" group: "Advanced to the top 12."

Qian Quan gave a thumbs up expression in response, and then told Ding Linlang the news. Unexpectedly, the latter directly replied: "I am in Mingzhu, I just watched the game."

Qian Quan: "You went to the scene?"

Ding Linlang: "Yes, are you coming?"

Qian Quan: "If my dad makes it to the finals, I will take time off to go there."

Ding Linlang: "Okay, when uncle finishes the competition, we will go to the zoo together."

After get off work in the afternoon, Qian Quan went to see Mr. Hu to play chess as scheduled, and saw a girl beside him. The girl had the waist of a wasp and the back of a monkey, and the shape of a crane and a beetle. She had a ponytail and was full of youthful vitality.

Looks familiar, vaguely seen somewhere.

"This is my granddaughter, her name is Zhao Baiyu. She grew up in Zhonghai and was admitted to Zhonghai University this year." Master Hu gave a brief introduction.

"Hello." Qian Quan waved and said hello.

"Hello." Zhao Baiyu responded gracefully.

Then comes the game of chess.

Mr. Hu probably didn’t want to lose face in front of his granddaughter anymore, so he was extra devoted, and in the end he didn’t lose—

Draw.

"It's rare." Mr. Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Quan smiled and said: "We will fight again tomorrow."

"We will fight again tomorrow." Mr. Hu looked at Qian Quan with a deep smile, his eyes showing appreciation.

After Qian Quan left, Mr. Hu asked Zhao Baiyu: "Xiaoyu, do you know why he played chess with me today?"

"Because you are playing more seriously today?"

"It has nothing to do with that," Mr. Hu shook his head and smiled, "He is practicing a sentence, a sentence that is equally important to you -" paused, "'If you come out of the cave, you will be invincible, and you have to be merciful.

people'……"

Zhao Baiyu seemed to notice something and said, "Grandpa, I find that you really appreciate him."

"Yes, I'm even thinking of recommending him to your dad."

Zhao Baiyu looked slightly surprised.

Although she didn't know much about her father's business in Zhonghai, she knew the importance of her grandfather in her parents' hearts.

Because when dad and mom talk about troublesome things, they often say: "Why don't you ask our dad?"

"But why, just because he is good at chess?" Zhao Baiyu asked.

"You will know later." Mr. Hu did not continue to reveal the secret.

…

Qian Wenlin continued to advance in the top 12 matches in the morning and the top 6 matches in the afternoon, winning three games in a row and successfully entering the finals.

According to the organizer's arrangement, in addition to competitions, the finals will also include program performances and awards ceremonies.

When Qian Quan learned that his father had entered the finals, he immediately asked for leave from his manager and wanted to go there in person to cheer for his father.

By the way, I witnessed the interaction between my father receiving the bonus and the system issuing the bonus.

"Today's three players, including my uncle, have never lost a game, especially the one with the jade string in his hand, who wins quickly every time..."

Before the competition officially started, there was a leadership speech session, and Ding Linlang took the opportunity to introduce Qian Quan.

"Moreover, he had a very arrogant attitude. He refused to shake hands with his opponents several times, and would deliberately stand up in advance before winning to put pressure on his opponents."

"It's just that the chess quality is very poor." Qian Quan said.

"Yes, but very strong."

Qian Quan said with a smile: "My dad can reach the top three, which has exceeded expectations. I just sit back and wait for one or two."

"Um."

After the leader on the stage finished speaking, the game began.

Three players play against each other in pairs. The champion will win all, the runner-up will win one game, and the third runner-up will lose all. If there is a draw or each player wins one game, they will play fast chess.

Because there were many media and spectators present today, the atmosphere was quite tense.

Lots were drawn before the game, and Qian Wenlin and another young player competed first.

The scene fell silent.

Spectators watch the game on big screens.

Different from ordinary chess games, each move in a formal game has a time limit of 30 seconds. There is a timer next to the chessboard. After you finish the move, you click it. If you haven't moved after 30 seconds, you give up.

In the extra round of fast chess, one move is made every 10 seconds.

Those who are good at playing slow chess will suffer a lot if they participate in the competition.

On the big screen, the two players have taken five or six steps.

They are all in the planning and layout stage.

"Uncle's start is very solid." Ding Linlang commented in a low voice.

Qian Quan nodded in agreement. This game his father played was the "Wei Qing style" that he had accumulated a lot of experience in. It used both good and odd skills. At first glance, it looked quite satisfactory. Once the opponent had a flaw, his father's chess moves would be like an overwhelming force, blocking the retreat and trapping him.

opponent.

Sure enough, after six or seven more moves, Dad started to attack. Most of the big chess pieces were moving, and he was bound to force the opponent into a blind corner.

Qian Quan approached Ding Linlang and said softly: "We win."

After three moves, the opponent stares at the chessboard and deduce ways to survive until the 30 seconds are over without the opponent making a move.

The outcome is decided.

"Accept." Qian Wenlin smiled gently.

After the first game, there will be a half-hour break, tea break and performance.

In the second game, the loser of the first game will play with another player.

The young player made a desperate move and seemed to want to confuse his opponent through a sudden start.

The middle-aged player holding the jade string in his hand had an undisclosed smile and responded with ease, leaving no opportunity for the opponent to take advantage of. He turned the situation around in a few steps and took full initiative.

When young players see that the situation is over, they surrender in the middle game.

The third runner-up was born.

"Indeed it's not bad." Qian Quan said.

"Do you think he can beat uncle?"

"Let's open it fifty-fifty."

"Can I beat you?"

"Can't win."

"So confident."

"When the game is over, I'll ask him to show you the next set?"

"Okay." Ding Linlang's eyes lit up.

Because the second game ended quickly, the deciding game began quickly.

The tension at the scene also reached its peak.

The chess game between Qian Wenlin and middle-aged Yuchuan was as Qian Quan expected. After several inextricable struggles in the first game, they called it quits and made peace.

In the subsequent fast chess game, Qian Wenlin missed a move midway and was chased by his opponent, who was finally defeated.

The champion and runner-up are also determined.

"You almost beat me." The middle-aged man wearing bracelets said to Qian Wenlin with a smile, "But it's a pity, I won't make two mistakes."

"Congratulations." Qian Wenlin ignored his rude words.

After the competition, the awards will be given.

The first place will receive a bonus of RMB 100,000 plus a trophy, the second place will receive a bonus of RMB 50,000 plus a trophy, and the third place will receive a bonus of RMB 30,000 plus a trophy.

Prizes are all cash!

It’s quite exciting, but——

Whose heartbeat is the fastest when you sit down? Look at Huai Qianquan and your heart is pounding.

At the moment when the leader handed the bonus and trophy to Qian Wenlin, the system unexpectedly prompted:

[Ding, the system detected that your father received a bonus of 50,000 yuan, and will reward you with 500,000 yuan!]

Qian Quan felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Five hundred thousand!
