A crushing defeat in the first game.

There is absolutely no possibility of arm wrestling.

Under Gao Qinyi's eager gaze, he took off his shirt.

Fortunately, he doesn't eat much and exercises regularly, so he doesn't have much excess fat.

Although the muscle definition is not very obvious in normal state, with only four abdominal muscles, if you take a deep breath, you can barely see six.

After the game of chess, he must go and exercise!

Who knows, there might be an opportunity for honesty and openness in the future.

I don't want to have to rely on breathing exercises to make my muscles show every time.

After finishing his chess game, he would go downstairs to exercise.

Even so.

Gao Qinyi's eyes lit up as she watched.

This is Zhou Chu!

He usually looks quite thin.

Surprisingly, after taking off his clothes, he was quite fleshy, especially his muscles.

I really want to touch it!

But Zhou Chu, under her gaze, didn't feel so at ease.

I always feel like I'm some kind of gigolo.

Although that's not the case, that's the feeling Gao Qinyi's gaze gives him right now.

"Sister Qin, let's play chess." Zhou Chu could only point to the chessboard.

"I understand." Gao Qinyi showed no sign of restraint, her gaze never leaving him!

"Sister Qin, don't you think this is too unchallenging?" Zhou Chu picked up a black piece, intending to place it, but then threw it back into the chess bowl. "It's like a professional player descending to earth to crush noobs. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"I don't think so." Gao Qinyi shook her head and gently touched her lips and the corners of her mouth.

I feel like my mouth is about to water.

"How about this, you give me three sons, okay?" Zhou Chu asked tentatively.

“Okay.” Gao Qinyi readily agreed, as if she was already certain of defeating Zhou Chu.

Because that's how it's always been; she and Zhou Chu have played chess more than just a few times.

He's been Zhou Chu's rival since childhood and knows his skill level inside and out.

Let alone giving him three sons, even if he gave him nine sons, he probably still couldn't beat him.

This is not blind confidence.

"I love your confidence!" Zhou Chu said, adding three words in the corner.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just three simple characters.

In a game between experts, the difference is often just a hair's breadth.

Not to mention the first three characters.

But soon, Zhou Chu learned what the gap truly meant.

The three pieces were indeed very useful, but their usefulness was gradually diminished.

Even if Zhou Chu racked his brains, he couldn't reverse the decline.

It's like a dilapidated house that's leaking everywhere; it can't withstand the next storm at all.

He was also able to empathize with Emperor Chongzhen to some extent.

"That's really good."

Gao Qinyi placed a piece, then suddenly looked up at him and smiled slightly, saying, "This is much better than the last game. At least it proves that you are thinking."

She is currently playing chess.

The female general, who had ascended to the front lines, was directing her army to conquer cities and seize territory.

Both his expression and his movements exuded an indomitable spirit.

In contrast, the Zhou Chu state was more like a monarch whose power had waned, resorting to a final act of resistance to sing a lament.

"Please."

Now, Zhou Chu only has one last piece of clothing left.

"Sister Qin, how about we stop playing?"

"Why aren't you playing?" Gao Qinyi reached out and tried to pry his hand away.

I always feel like our positions have been reversed.

Normally, this is how he should win over Gao Qinyi, which makes more sense.

But the tables turned out to be reversed, and I became the one being pursued.

"How about this? So that no one will say I'm bullying a kid." Gao Qinyi stretched out her hand and placed a piece on each of the nine points on the chessboard.

Is this the legendary Nine Sons?

Normally, this kind of handicap is only given when one has a very low opinion of the opponent's skill level.

How could Zhou Chu, a man of such integrity, be so spineless?

"I'll go first!" Zhou Chu resolutely placed a piece next to the black piece in the middle.

That's practically giving away ten sons!

If he loses this, he can basically retire from the world of Go.

After a protracted battle.

Zhou Chu felt his mind was somewhat blank.

I entered a hollow world, where everything before my eyes seemed to have vanished.

It took about ten seconds before I realized what was happening.

When I looked at this game again, it was as if a new world had been opened up in my mind.

The game of chess before us is no longer just a game of chess.

It's more like a setup.

Go is a game of one game after another.

He actually saw through Gao Qinyi's scheme at a glance!

Then.

Taking advantage of Gao Qinyi's inattention, they broke through the barriers one after another and actually turned the tide of the battle.

"It's your turn this time, Sister Qin." Zhou Chu cupped his hands in greeting.

“You…” Gao Qinyi gritted her teeth, her face visibly flushing.

But she's definitely not the kind of person who goes back on her word!

If you say you'll take your clothes off, you really will!

Even though it was just taking off a coat.

She usually wears these at home, and often even less than these pajamas.

But for some reason, this makes it even more exciting.

Or rather, it's a sense of accomplishment!

It was through my own efforts that I achieved this victory!

Seeing that Zhou Chu was about to take the lead in placing nine pieces, Gao Qinyi slapped his hand away.

"No, this time I'll only let three sons win."

"What? Even Sister Qin is scared now?"

“It seems you’ve finally seen the light. I can’t give you another chance.” Gao Qinyi nodded to herself.

It was as if he was cheering himself up.

She was also quite surprised by Zhou Chu's sudden increase in strength.

However, given her low foundation, even with improvements, it's impossible for her to reach the ninth or tenth dan level all at once.

This kind of sudden enlightenment in Go is terrifying; she couldn't even quite grasp Zhou Chu's current strength.

"The advantage is in my hands!" she cried out in her heart.

The next game is obviously going to be more difficult.

Both sides were extremely cautious, worried that a single mistake could lead to total defeat.

Zhou Chu also had high hopes for the last remaining item!

After a fierce battle, Gao Qinyi finally caught up with the three-stone handicap she had given at the beginning in the middle game.

Zhou Chu could see her forehead very clearly.

It was already a very thin layer of sweat.

When the game is over...

Zhou Chu felt his hands and feet were getting cold.

He has never dared to boast about how good his mental fortitude is.

Especially with the combined influence of the chess game and Gao Qinyi, he felt like he was being pushed to the edge of a cliff.

The gap in strength can indeed be bridged to some extent with unconventional tactics.

But what if the situation reverses...?

Zhou Chu's eyes lit up!

A single step.

It instantly revitalized a small area!

"You lost, Sister Qin," Zhou Chu said slowly.

"Not necessarily." Gao Qinyi closed her eyes and didn't look at the chessboard, as if she was calculating the overall situation in her mind.

At this moment, she seemed like an immortal descending to earth. Zhou Chu didn't know if he was seeing things, but there was light shimmering all around her!

With a piece falling!
