Chapter 226 Winning Lehman has such a wonderful Alpha
In fact, at the beginning, many people thought that the reason why Shen Qingzhu stood up to play chess with Hardy was that he was in a difficult situation and had no choice but to do so.
Almost no one among the nobles of the two countries present and the netizens watching the live broadcast believed that Shen Qingzhu could really play Go.
After all, Shen Qingzhu grew up in a C-grade welfare home, and it was not easy for him to grow up safely.
Even if Shen Qingzhu was admitted to the Imperial University based on his own strength, his achievements in pheromone research are enough to prove that he is a rare genius. He is also the only 3S-level Alpha in the empire in two hundred years. However, an elegant course like Go, which has strict rules and is only studied by aristocratic Omegas, is not achieved overnight.
Even if Shen Qingzhu had played a few games of chess with his friends as he said before, it would be impossible for him to beat Yuange's Hardy.
After all, the Duke of Thebes said that Hardy was Yuange's best chess player.
Thinking of this, countless people who were watching the chess game online and offline couldn't help but worry for Shen Qingzhu, and at the same time they were annoyed with the idiot Keynes who forced Shen Qingzhu to get promoted.
Although he didn't have much hope for Shen Qingzhu, she was truly stunningly beautiful, and every move she made was as pleasing to the eye as a painting.
Especially when Shen Qingzhu lowered his emerald eyes and calmly picked up the chess piece and made the move, everyone at the banquet and the netizens who were watching the live broadcast gradually became dazed, and their eyes were all fixed on his jade-white fingertips.
Even Hardy, who was playing chess with Shen Qingzhu, was attracted by the pair of slender, strong hands with distinct joints in his sight several times and was distracted frequently.
When Hardy saw Shen Qingzhu in the crowd before, he couldn't help but admire her. Shen Qingzhu was the Alpha with the most smooth and delicate skin he had ever seen in his life.
Although Shen Qingzhu was born into a common family and did not have a good life in the past, it was obvious that after being admitted to Leman's Imperial University, Shen Qingzhu had lived a very good life in the past two years and had taken good care of herself. She seemed to be more pampered than many of Yuange's noble Omegas.
I wonder what kind of hands such an elegant Alpha would have.
As a chess player, Hardy's favorite thing to do when playing chess is to observe his opponent's fingers.
Different from Lehman's Alpha, Yuange's Alpha would put a lot of effort into their appearance in order to win the favor of Omega. Hardy had also seen many Alphas with beautiful fingers in the past.
However, in the Leman Empire, if an Alpha lives too delicately and pays too much attention to his appearance, he will seem to be ridiculed and rejected by other Alphas, and will also be said to be a bit arrogant.
Hardy from Yuange was puzzled by this, because beauty has never been related to gender, and he also felt that Lehman's Alphas were wasting natural resources.
Shen Qingzhu is different from many of Lehman's Alphas.
Just these beautiful and lustrous hands made Hardy unable to take his eyes off them, and he couldn't help but praise him from the bottom of his heart.
"clatter."
With the sound of a gentle falling piece, Hadi suddenly heard Shen Qingzhu's low voice, "Focus."
Hardy suddenly came to his senses and looked down at the chessboard.
Seeing this, Hardy's originally nonchalant expression suddenly became solemn. His crossed legs gradually came together. His upper body leaned forward slightly, and his fingertips rubbed back and forth. After a long while, he finally made a move.
At the same time, many stunned people at the banquet and on Starnet were called back to their senses by Shen Qingzhu's voice. When they looked at the current state of Shen Qingzhu and Hardy, they were suddenly shocked and felt that something was wrong.
[…No, what happened just now? Why did Hardy suddenly become so serious and nervous, but Zhu Zong is still so calm? ? ? ]
[(stunned) Am I the only one who noticed that Mr. Take's chess playing posture seems very professional? He pinches the chess pieces with his index and middle fingers. I almost got cramps when I tried it just now OTL!]
[(Pushing glasses) This is indeed a special hand gesture for playing Go. Hold the chess piece with the middle finger and index finger, with the middle finger on top and the index finger on the bottom. Although this action seems simple, if you hold it too lightly, the chess piece will easily slip off, and if you hold it too hard, the chess piece will easily be squeezed out, so it is actually not easy to operate. ]
[Yes! But this is just picking up the pieces. The action of placing the pieces is also very difficult, because the pieces must be placed accurately at the intersection of the chessboard, and they cannot touch other pieces around them. This requires the hands and emotions of the chess player to be stable enough, otherwise it is likely to affect the gestures of picking up and placing the pieces. ]
[(Appreciation) Take-sensei's chess playing posture is so beautiful, it's simply textbook-level! ]
[In the past, when I was taking Go classes, I always heard the teacher say that in the ancient Chinese civilization of the Earth era, Go, along with the guqin, calligraphy, and painting, were the "four great elegant hobbies" and were essential skills for gentlemen who cultivated themselves... I have never really understood what a "gentleman" is like, but today I finally saw a living QuQ! ]
[…I don’t quite understand it, but I think it’s pretty amazing.]
[I dare not speak. Are those who explained the Go hand gestures earlier all noble Omegas? ]
[(Scratching his head) Well, I want to ask, is it only his chess posture that is good-looking? How is the chess playing specifically? That Hardy seems very nervous and hasn't made a move for a long time, while Mr. Zhu's expression is so calm and steady, which looks quite intimidating.]
[(Pushing glasses) In fact, the hand gestures of a chess player can often reflect many things, such as the level of chess skills and psychological quality. As for Mr. Zhu, just looking at his smooth movements and steady and dense chess style, you can tell that he is a master.]
[…So? (Expecting)]
[Hardy is going to lose (laughs)]
【??? !!】
Sure enough, not long after, Hardy suddenly sighed, put down the chess piece he had been stroking for a while, and said with a complicated expression, "I lost."
Shen Qingzhu paused for a moment after hearing this, and put down the chess piece in his hand. He smiled gently at Hardy and said, "You are very good. If I played with white pieces, the outcome would be uncertain."
In Go, the black pieces have the first move, which often means advantage and initiative.
The black piece was given to him by Hardy before the start of the game.
So to many people who don't understand the chess game, there is nothing wrong with this statement, and they really think that the two people's chess skills are equal.
But Hardy and many knowledgeable people can see clearly that Shen Qingzhu's chess skills are probably far superior to Hardy's.
Only Hardy, who actually faced Shen Qingzhu, knew how terrifying Shen Qingzhu's chess skills were.
But no matter what, Hardy was still very happy that Shen Qingzhu helped him save face.
Therefore, Hardy did not hesitate to praise, "You are the best!"
After saying that, Hadi suddenly remembered Shen Qingzhu's background and asked curiously, "Shen Qingzhu, how long have you been learning Go? You said before that you occasionally play Go with your friends. Did he teach you? Is your friend's Go skill better than yours? Can you introduce us to each other?"
Shen Qingzhu blinked his eyes. It was really difficult for him to answer this question because his chess skills were trained in his original world.
So he just smiled and said, "Mingxue is indeed very good at chess."
Hadi suddenly realized, "Is it your lover Ji Mingxue? You Leman like to call your lovers friends? I heard that he is a 3S-level Omega. I have seen his photos. He is also a rare handsome man. You two are simply a match made in heaven!"
Shen Qingzhu's smile grew brighter, "Thank you."
The crowd at the banquet and on Starnet: …
【Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! (makes a sharp sound) Why are they showing off their affection while talking? ! So it turns out that Mr. Take's Go was taught by Mr. Hime? ! !】
[I am dying of love, I am dying of love! I love Zhu Zong so much! Not only is his whole body full of Ji Zong's representative color, but he also talks about Ji Zong every three sentences! ! 6S is the best! ! ]
[It’s so funny, is that Hardy also taking it? ]
[Isn't he simply interested in Mr. Ji, who is also very good at chess? ]
[So how good is Mr. Ji's chess skill? ]
[(Dumbfounded) It is known that the Duke of Thebes said that Hadi’s chess skills are the best in Yuange, and Zhu Zong just beat him. Zhu Zong’s chess skills were taught by Ji Zong...hiss! ]
[(Kneeling) So Mr. Ji is not only good at fighting? ? ? ]
[(Laughing and crying) After all, I am an Omega from the most noble family in the empire! ]
Seeing that the comments were about to praise him as a chess god, Ji Mingxue: ...
Although he was very happy that Shen Qingzhu talked about his lover openly in front of everyone, his chess skills were really not as good as Shen Qingzhu's.
But then again, Ji Mingxue has always been very confused. When did Shen Qingzhu learn Go and many of his other skills?
…
Although Shen Qingzhu defeated Hardy, Hardy was not angry at all. Instead, he liked Shen Qingzhu more and more because of the way Shen Qingzhu helped him save face.
Hardy actually knew that in the Leman Empire, Go was a course that only aristocratic Omegas would learn. Today, he set up these small activities because he really wanted to embarrass the Leman Empire.
But now, his interest in Shen Qingzhu, this special Alpha, is far greater than the other Alphas who slapped Lehman in the face.
"Besides Go, do you know how to play anything else?"
After saying that, Hardy wanted to pull Shen Qingzhu to the flower arrangement area.
Shen Qingzhu is so beautiful, she must look good when arranging flowers!
Shen Qingzhu paused slightly, dodged his finger without leaving a trace, and then took a step forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Hardy, smiling and saying, "I did take a few flower arrangement classes."
Hardy's eyes lit up. "Lehman's Alpha can actually learn these things?"
Among the crowd, several young Alphas immediately looked at Shen Qingzhu, their eyes full of nervous anticipation.
Shen Qingzhu keenly noticed the gazes of those little Alphas, as well as the necklaces or pendant-style suppression rings around their necks, and said gently, "It has nothing to do with gender. Flower arrangement is beautiful, and Go is also very interesting. It's not surprising that some Alphas like them."
Because of the game just now, Shen Qingzhu and Hardy were almost the focus of the entire banquet, and the live camera was following them all the time.
They didn't lower their voices when they spoke, so almost everyone heard the conversation.
The Alpha who disliked Shen Qingzhu sneered, but did not dare to show it too obviously.
There were also users who were obviously Alpha users who made rude remarks in the live broadcast barrage, but they were quickly drowned out by more voices of support and praise.
[Wow, Mr. Zhu, he is really, I am crying! It turns out that our Lehman really has such a wonderful Alpha! ]
[Q口Q Thank you, Mr. Zhu! I have loved playing Go since I was a kid, but after the second differentiation into Alpha, every time I touched the chessboard or talked about Go with other Alphas, they would mock me. I was even isolated by Alphas in college! This has left me with a psychological trauma about Go. I haven't touched it for two years. Tonight I will pick it up again!!! (crying)]
[Take-san is right! The flowers are so pretty!! What’s wrong with Alpha liking them!! (Very loud)]
[Hahahaha, so are there really a lot of Alphas who like these? (Purely out of curiosity)]
[I don’t know if it’s a lot, but I personally like things that many people think Alpha shouldn’t touch, such as small desserts and sweet drinks. (drool)]
[(Raises hand) Actually, we Betas also like many daily necessities that are exclusive to Omegas or designed for them...]
[Am I the only one who is curious about Mr. Take's flower arrangement skills? He also said the same thing before we played chess just now, "I'm not good at chess" or something like that. (dog head)]
【Zhu Zong: Humility is a virtue :)】
[Hahahaha, speaking of which, could it be that President Ji is also dragging President Zhu to take the flower arrangement class together? ]
Ji Mingxue who saw this comment said: It’s not me, I didn’t do that, please don’t accuse me!
After living together, Ji Mingxue found out that the exquisite flower arrangements in Shen Qingzhu's home were actually designed and made by Shen Qingzhu himself.
So, when did his baby learn all this?
