After preparing the pills overnight, Ye Qingqing went to Master Nie's residence the next day. The master lived in a detached villa, a house awarded by the government. It was not large, a two-story villa with a very quiet environment. Since the master suffered from neurasthenia, quiet was the primary choice.

The glory that the master won for the country deserves to live in the best mansion. Before Cui Shi, Master Nie was the chess saint who dominated for nearly ten years. Even Cui Shi's idol was Master Nie. Every time he saw him, he was very respectful, like a little fanboy.

Tsumabuki Minami is also a big fan of the master. Every time he comes to China to participate in a competition, he will take the time to visit the master with heartfelt respect. For example, Tsumabuki Minami made a special trip to visit him for this competition, but the master did not even invite him to a meal. He only let Tsumabuki Minami eat instant noodles.

Because the master happened to want to eat instant noodles that day, once he wanted to eat something, he had to have it. No matter how much he acted like a rascal or threw a tantrum, he had to satisfy his craving. The cousin initially thought it was too impolite and wanted to show off her cooking skills to Tsumabuki Minami.

However, Tsumabuki Minami happily ate instant noodles with the master, slurping them down and even drinking all the soup. As a result, the master had a very good impression of Tsumabuki Minami, thinking that the boy was polite.

Ye Qingqing summarized that anyone who has achieved top success in a certain field has purified their emotional intelligence and thoughts. They are not as complicated as ordinary people. They are straightforward and honest. In layman's terms, they are not worldly-wise.

Perhaps it's because she's focused all her energy on honing her skills and doesn't want to waste time on mundane matters, which is why she lives a simple life—that's how Ye Qingqing understands it.

She didn't know the other players, but Master Nie was definitely not worldly-wise. She heard Lu Mo say that Choi Seok, the Goryeo master, was also a simple and lovely person, as was Tsumabuki Nam, who was an introverted and shy boy, and her own Xiao Tong. None of them were sophisticated or good at socializing.

It's not that Ye Qingqing looks down on someone like Sihaoxing, but he is smart, yet he doesn't use his intelligence for good. He will never achieve great things in chess. Even if he had some achievements in the past, it was probably because he was young.

When you're young, you're simple-minded and can focus on honing your chess skills. But as you get older, you see more of the colorful world around you, and your desires and thoughts become more complicated, so your chess skills naturally become mediocre.

Ye Qingqing suddenly felt a little fortunate. Luckily, Xiao Tong wasn't a normal child. Perhaps his personality was more suited to studying chess!

She chose to go to Master Nie's place in the afternoon because the master was a night owl who couldn't sleep at night and was sleepy during the day. He usually slept in the morning and was more energetic in the afternoon.

"Is the sugar pill ready? Let me try it."

The master, still in his plaid pajamas, with his messy hair and slippers, came down from the rooftop with a small shovel in his hand; he must have been planting flowers on the roof.

Planting flowers was the only activity that the master was interested in, but he still did the opposite. Others planted flowers in their gardens and filled their front and back yards with flowers, which was very beautiful, but the master preferred to plant them on the rooftop. The garden on the first floor was completely paved with pebbles, and not a single blade of grass was allowed to be planted.

Because he dislikes insects and flowers attract them, he planted all the flowers on the rooftop so that the insects could fly around in the sky. If he wanted to enjoy the flowers, he could just go for a walk on the rooftop.

"This is a two-week supply. You can take it whenever you want, but no more than six a day."

Ye Qingqing took out the pills. The bottle was a beautiful glass bottle, and she had carefully added some vegetable juice to the pills. Sweetie said that the master was a color enthusiast and liked colorful candies.
