The next day, Grandpa Mo took Luo Yu to a chess hall. Most of the people playing chess were elderly people. There were also young people, but very few.

Mr. Mo and Mr. Zhou had an appointment at eight o'clock in the morning, but Mr. Zhou had been waiting for half an hour and still no sign of Mr. Mo. Mr. Zhou became a little impatient. Finally, when he looked up again, he saw Mr. Mo walking in, followed by Luo Yu.

Mr. Zhou said dissatisfiedly, "Old Mo, you are too unpunctual. We agreed to meet at 8 o'clock, and look at the time it is now."

"It's just a little late. What's the big deal? You are so impatient. What's the point of playing chess?" Mr. Mo said indifferently.

"It's just a little late?" Old Master Zhou was irritated by Old Master Mo. He snorted coldly, then saw Luo Yu behind Old Master Mo and asked, "Luo boy, why are you here too?"

Luo Yu smiled faintly, but before she could say anything, Mr. Mo took over.

"Of course you followed me. If your eyesight is not good, just wear reading glasses. You can't even see such a big person." Once Mr. Mo found the right opportunity, he would keep scolding Mr. Zhou.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Let's see the real moves on the chessboard later." Old Master Zhou immediately began to arrange the chessboard.

Mr. Mo said, "Come if you want. I'm not afraid of you. But I'm not the one who wants to play chess with you today."

Mr. Zhou was puzzled. "If it's not you, who else could it be?"

"Isn't it right in front of you?" Old Master Mo nodded his chin towards Luo Yu beside him.

"Old Mo, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but since you can't beat me, you ask your daughter-in-law to come and pick a fight with you. Isn't that a bad idea?" Old Master Zhou rolled his eyes.

"Do I need to ask my daughter-in-law to find a fight? I usually give in to you. Now I just bring Xiaoyu here to practice. What's wrong? Are you afraid of losing to Xiaoyu?" Old Master Mo directly used the method of provoking.

"Would I be scared? Come on, Luo boy, hurry up. I know that you are good at calligraphy and Chinese painting, but I didn't know you can play chess. Then let me, an old man, meet you." Old Master Zhou couldn't stand being provoked the most.

Luo Yu watched the two old men bicker the entire time without interrupting, while the other old men in the chess gym gathered around. Every old man who came to the gym was a distinguished figure. In the past, Old Man Mo had constantly boasted about how skilled his daughter-in-law was in front of them. While they weren't convinced, they had no choice because Luo Yu was truly capable. Today, Old Man Mo had actually dragged his daughter-in-law over to challenge him, and the other old men had naturally come to watch the fun, to see how good Mo's daughter-in-law was at chess.

Seeing Luo Yu's skillful and quick movements in arranging the plate, Mr. Zhou asked, "Luo, I didn't expect you to be so talented. When did you learn to play chess?"

"I just started learning." Luo Yu had only recently acquired this chess skill. Besides practicing calligraphy, painting, and playing musical instruments in the virtual space, he also occasionally practiced chess. Of course, the chess player he was practicing with was a virtual creation created by the system, and their skill level was quite high.

"You've only just started learning..." Old Master Zhou couldn't believe it. How could someone who had just started learning be so skilled? But considering Luo Yu's high level of calligraphy and painting, he must have put a lot of effort into it. Even if he could play chess, his skills wouldn't be that high.

So at the beginning of the game, Mr. Zhou was a little careless. After he found that several of his pieces had been captured, he began to take it seriously. Fortunately, Luo Yu had captured some unimportant pieces, otherwise he would have suffered heavy losses. However, by the time Mr. Zhou started to take it seriously, it was too late, because Luo Yu had already laid out the entire game, just waiting for Mr. Zhou to jump in!

The first game of chess ended in less than fifteen minutes. Mr. Zhou was left with only two chess pieces, and of course he lost in the end.

"How about it, Old Man Zhou? Haven't you always said that you are a great chess player? How come now you can't even beat my daughter-in-law who just learned chess? It seems that you are just so-so." Old Man Mo started to show off.

Old Master Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to Luo Yu, "Okay, you have a few tricks. I let you win just now, but this time, I'm going to be serious." After losing one game, Old Master Zhou started to play the second game with full concentration, because judging from the first game, Luo Yu's chess skills were not worse than his at all, so Old Master Zhou had to be prepared.

Unlike Mr. Mo, who played the game purely as a hobby, Mr. Zhou might not be as strong in calligraphy, but he was a professional chess player, having previously passed the 6th dan exam. Although his reflexes might not be as quick as those of a younger person due to his age, his skills were still strong.

In fact, from the first game that Mr. Zhou took seriously, Luo Yu gradually formed a rough judgment of Mr. Zhou's chess level. So during the second game, Luo Yu also began to concentrate and focus.

It must be said that Mr. Zhou's chess skills are quite good. The two of them kept going back and forth, capturing each other's pieces. After half an hour, the two were in a stalemate. As an outsider watching, he was also very nervous. Mr. Mo secretly cheered for Luo Yu, wishing that Luo Yu would kill Mr. Zhou immediately.

"General."

Thus, more than half an hour passed by unknowingly, and Luo Yu won with a slight advantage. Mr. Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not make fun of Mr. Zhou anymore, because he could see that if Mr. Zhou had not been a little exhausted, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

"I can't do it anymore. I need to take a break. I'm old and my energy isn't as good as before." Then Mr. Zhou looked at Luo Yu with admiration, "You are really good, your chess skills are so high. Old Mo, your son has found a treasure."

"Of course, don't you see whose daughter-in-law she is?" Mr. Mo said proudly. Although he only won two games, he could see the envy in the eyes of the old men around him, which made Mr. Mo feel very proud.

An old man who looked to be in his seventies immediately sat down opposite Luo Yu after Mr. Zhou stood up. "Since Old Zhou is tired, let me take over. Old Zhou is a 6th dan, and I am also a 6th dan. Your name is Luo Yu, right? How about playing a game with me?"

"It's an honor." Luo Yu smiled slightly and began to arrange the dishes. After Mr. Zhou played, Luo Yu had a rough idea of ​​his level. Intermediate chess skills were roughly equivalent to professional 6th dan.

Unlike Mr. Zhou who is good at defense, this old man is good at offense, and he is brave and resourceful. Luo Yu finds it very difficult to deal with him. It seems that these old men are all extraordinary!

This game of chess lasted for half an hour at a very fast pace. In order to cope with the old man's strong attack, Luo Yu had to sacrifice a few chess pieces and set up a new game before he finally turned the tables and won.

"Again." The old man was a little unwilling and immediately started the second game.

This time, the old man wasn't as aggressive as he was in the first game. Learning from his mistakes, he began to defend from behind while attacking. Luo Yu, however, responded to his strategy by changing his defensive counterattack strategy from the first game and quickly attacking the old man, disrupting his chessboard and forcing him to fight head-on. In the end, both sides had only three pieces left on the board. However, two of Luo Yu's three pieces could attack or defend, while the old man's pieces were all defensive, so Luo Yu ultimately won.

"Brave and resourceful, not bad, very much like that young Mo from your family, Old Man Mo." Although the old man lost, he was convinced of the defeat, and his eyes could not hide his admiration for Luo Yu.

"That's right." Mr. Mo raised his chin proudly.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding. After the old man lost two games, another old man took over. So for the whole morning, Luo Yu played chess with a group of old men.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late. We should go back for lunch. We'll come back in the afternoon."

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief when Mr. Mo said this. In fact, he had been hungry an hour ago. He had eaten a full meal this morning, but he didn't know why he was particularly hungry recently.

Everyone looked at the time and it was already twelve o'clock, so they should go back for dinner, so they all agreed to come back in the afternoon.

"Boy Luo, remember to come in the afternoon. The owner of this chess hall will come over in the afternoon. You can have a competition with him then," Grandpa Zhou said to Luo Yu before leaving.

"Okay." Even though Luo Yu was a little weak from hunger, he still didn't show it on his face.

When they returned to the Mo family, Mrs. Mo had already prepared all the meals. Seeing Mr. Mo and Luo Yu coming back, she couldn't help but complain to Mr. Mo: "You are really something! I called you more than ten times to urge you to come back, but you still haven't brought Xiaoyu back. It's so late, and you are not hungry, but Xiaoyu is hungry."

"Mom, it's okay. I was playing chess with others at that time and it was embarrassing to leave in the middle of the game." Luo Yu defended the old man.

"Did you hear that? Xiaoyu is playing chess. How could she come back so soon?" After Mr. Mo sat down, he couldn't help but smile and said to Mrs. Mo, "You don't know, this morning Xiaoyu not only beat Lao Zhou, but also beat the other old men. It's really gratifying!"

"You are so capable! Xiaoyu finally got a day off, but you insisted on dragging her to play chess with you." Old Mrs. Mo glared at Old Mr. Mo.

"It doesn't matter. I think playing chess is pretty good. I learned a lot this morning." Luo Yu smiled.

"Did you hear me? I'm giving Xiaoyu a chance to exercise!" After Grandpa Mo finished speaking to Grandma Mo, he turned to Luo Yu and said, "After lunch, take a rest and get enough rest. The owner of the chess hall will be there in the afternoon. If you beat the owner in the afternoon, you can walk around the entire chess hall with your might." Grandpa Mo was happy just thinking about it, and he personally picked up some food for Luo Yu.
