The young man's name was Lu Yixiu, and his family background was quite extraordinary, but there was a certain difference between him and the middle-aged man, Uncle Hu.

He went through a lot of trouble to finally get to know Uncle Hu.

He had arranged to have tea with his friends here today, and unexpectedly, he ran into Uncle Hu.

Lu Yixiu took the initiative to come over and greet him warmly, but Uncle Hu was very indifferent and his attention was entirely on the young man opposite him.

This frustrated Lu Yixiu, and inevitably made him hostile towards Ye Chen.

He was hoping that Uncle Hu would give him a hand in the future.

After greeting the middle-aged man, Lu Yixiu did not leave. Instead, he stood there politely, waiting for an opportunity to get closer to the man.

"Xiao Chen, do you know how to play Go?"

The middle-aged man asked curiously.

"I know a little."

Ye Chen nodded.

"Alright, would you mind playing another game with Uncle Hu?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Although his skill level is relatively average and he often loses when playing chess with others, he still enjoys it immensely.

Whenever he has the chance, he likes to find someone to play a game, which his "thoughtful" daughter jokingly calls him - bad at the game but addicted to it.

Before long, not only his daughter, but even his old friends would find all sorts of excuses to slip away whenever they heard him say he wanted to play chess.

He's been itching to get his hands on it for ages.

He encountered Ye Chen, whom he was meeting for the first time, and naturally did not want to let this opportunity pass.

"Teasing" a junior shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Finally, at the middle-aged man's request, the teahouse waiter quickly brought over a chessboard.

The middle-aged man played the black pieces, while Ye Chen played the white pieces.

A duel has officially begun.

Because he had the backing of a world-class chess master, Ye Chen proceeded cautiously, even though it was his first time playing.

Before long, the middle-aged man, whose chess skills were already mediocre, had almost lost.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yixiu's eyes lit up.

Uncle Hu is about to lose, and he must be feeling uncomfortable.

At this point, having a "top-level chess player" as his mentor, if he could put on a good show and utterly defeat Ye Chen, he might leave a good impression on Uncle Hu.

His master was a renowned Go master in Shanghai and several surrounding provinces and cities. In his youth, he swept through dozens of Go halls in many first-tier cities and was very famous.

Later, he settled in Shanghai. Because he was acquainted with his father, Lu Yixiu studied Go with his master for many years.

Lu Yixiu is full of confidence when it comes to Go.

If he were to face those veteran masters, Lu Yixiu couldn't guarantee anything.

However, Lu Yixiu has absolute confidence in the younger generation. Unless they are monstrous geniuses, even professional chess players are no match for him.

A few minutes later, the middle-aged man indeed abandoned his piece and admitted defeat.

"Xiao Chen's chess skills are pretty good."

The middle-aged man sighed.

"Uncle Hu, you're too kind."

Ye Chen gave a modest reply, after all, he was an elder who had helped him, and Ye Chen was still very respectful.

After playing for a while, Ye Chen learned about Uncle Hu's general situation; he hadn't used much of his strength at all.

Otherwise, Uncle Hu would have lost this game even more miserably.

"Uncle Hu, how about I play a game with this brother?"

Lu Yixiu volunteered himself.

After observing Ye Chen's chess skills, Lu Yixiu believed he had a clear understanding of Ye Chen's true strength.

Ye Chen's chess skills are only slightly better than his peers, but there is still a considerable gap between him and someone who has received instruction from a renowned teacher.

"Want to play a game?"

Upon hearing Lu Yixiu's words, the middle-aged man suddenly realized what was going on.

The middle-aged man didn't have much affection for Lu Yixiu. He thought Lu Yixiu was too ambitious and that getting close to him must have some ulterior motive.

"Can."

The middle-aged man nodded.

Although he didn't have much affection for Lu Yixiu, he still agreed to Lu Yixiu's request.

Lu Yixiu's master was a renowned Go master in Shanghai, and as his disciple, Lu Yixiu should have learned a few moves from him.

This is a good opportunity to test Xiao Chen's actual abilities.

Although his chess skills were average, the middle-aged man was quite good at judging people, and he guessed that Xiao Chen hadn't used his full strength just now.

【bite】

[Challenge issued: Play a Go game against Lu Yixiu and crush him]

[Challenge Reward: 100% ownership of the Bulgari Hotel Shanghai]

[Challenge Reward: 100 Experience Points]

Challenge Reward: 50 points

The game suddenly released a challenge.

There were people around, so Ye Chen didn't take out his phone.

But he felt his phone vibrate a few times just now, and he roughly guessed that a new challenge had been released in the game.

Ye Chen had already blocked the other apps on his phone.

Ye Chen had a pretty good idea of ​​what the challenge would entail.

The middle-aged man stood up and gave his seat to Lu Yixiu, while he moved a chair over and sat down next to him.

This time, Ye Chen played black pieces while Lu Yixiu played white pieces.

Facing Lu Yixiu, Ye Chen naturally didn't need to be polite and immediately came out with an imposing aura.

On the chessboard, the black and white pieces resemble a black dragon and a white dragon vying for supremacy.

At first, Lu Yixiu was able to hold on for a while, but later, facing Ye Chen's overwhelming attacks, he was overwhelmed.

Lu Yixiu was powerless to resist and was defeated.

Lu Yixiu failed even faster than Uncle Hu, who was "more addicted to playing bad games," and he lost even more miserably!

"how so?"

After the failure, Lu Yixiu sat there blankly.

The devastating defeat shattered Lu Yixiu's pride.
