Chapter 100 A sigh came from the hall (eight more chapters, please subscribe first!)

"No, Dad, I'm serious."

Yu Shao said with a serious look on his face.

In this life, if you want to become a professional chess player, you must first pass the test of your parents, so these two days, Yu Shao has been thinking about how to tell this to his parents.

It just so happens that the prize money and certificates for the city’s high school Go league were distributed today, so it’s time to tell Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei.

"Xiao Shao, maybe you do have some talent in Go, but it's not that easy to become a professional Go player."

Yu Dongming shook his head, thinking that Yu Shao was oversimplifying things, and said, "Look at those professional chess players, which one of them didn't train in the dojo since childhood and eventually become a professional chess player?"

"It's too late for you to start learning now and become a professional chess player. You are only starting to learn at the age of sixteen, but some people are already professional chess players at the age of sixteen."

"Moreover, others may be more talented than you and have learned chess many, many years earlier than you, but even those people cannot become professional chess players."

Yu Dongming paused and said, "Before, a young man who was preparing for the dan level came to our hot pot restaurant. He was already 18 years old. I overheard a few words when he was chatting with his friends."

"He started learning chess at the age of ten, which was relatively late, but he had been learning for eight years. He still couldn't get promoted after eight years, so he finally gave up."

"He said this at the time: The most painful thing is that you happen to have some talent, enough to covet the hall of geniuses, but not enough to enter."

"You wander in front of the door, vaguely seeing the light coming from the hall, but you can't knock on the door, so you sit down dejectedly, thinking that this is the biggest regret in your life."

"But at this moment, you faintly heard a sigh coming from the hall... I am still too weak."

At this point, Yu Dongming couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said, "Now you know how difficult it is to become a professional chess player, right?"

"Although professional chess players look so glamorous, they have to endure hardships that ordinary people can hardly imagine and make efforts that ordinary people can hardly reach. I have no objection to you taking Go as a hobby, and I even encourage it."

"But it's too late for you to pursue a professional career now."

After listening to Yu Dongming's words, Yu Shao shook his head and said, "Dad, you misunderstood. I don't want to learn chess from now on. I want to be a professional chess player. My teacher said I should be able to do it."

"Have you learned to lie? Which teacher? Tell me and I'll call and ask."

Yu Dongming didn't believe it at all and thought Yu Shao was talking nonsense, so he immediately asked.

It’s no wonder that Yu Dongming didn’t believe it. The main reason was that what Yu Shao said was too hard to believe. After all, in Yu Dongming’s view, it was amazing that his son had taught himself Go, so how could he directly become a professional now?

This is a bit too outrageous.

"Chen Jiaming, Teacher Chen." Yu Shao answered without thinking.

Although Chen Jiaming had never said that he could become a professional chess player, Yu Shao felt that if Yu Dongming really called to ask, Chen Jiaming would definitely not refute it.

"Teacher Chen?"

Cai Xiaomei looked suspicious and asked, "I know all the teachers who taught you all the subjects, but why have I never heard of this Teacher Chen?"

"Mr. Chen teaches the second year of high school. He was the one who took us to participate in the high school Go league. We won the championship in that game."

Yu Shao immediately took the prepared prize money and certificate from the table, handed them to Cai Xiaomei and Yu Dongming, and then continued: "One of the contestants from one of the schools was once a junior who was preparing for the dan level. I won."

Although the Su Yiming in the final was much stronger than the young man who was trying to get a dan title, Yu Shao felt that in front of Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei, mentioning the four words "young man who was trying to get a dan title" was definitely more effective than mentioning Su Yiming.

As expected, when they heard the four words "Chongduan Youth", Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei's expressions suddenly changed, and they looked a little bit unbelievable.

Yu Dongming first glanced at the certificate, then tore open the envelope containing the prize money, took a look at the money inside, and then his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Did you really beat a former dan-chao boy?"

Even when he saw the certificate and bonus in his hand, Yu Dongming still found it hard to believe. After all, this was really too unbelievable.

He had found it unbelievable when Yu Shao said that he had secretly taught himself Go and was going to represent the school in the city's high school Go league.

If Yu Shao said he was talented, then he would believe it. He always thought his son was very smart, and no parent would think their child was stupid.

And now his own son told him that he had defeated a former dan-chao boy by learning Go by himself? He even had the possibility of becoming a professional? This sounded fake! Even if he was talented, he couldn't be this talented, right?! Wasn't this a monster? "Hmm."

Yu Shao nodded, knowing that it would be hard for Yu Dongming to believe this, so he said, "Dad, if you really don't believe it, you can call the principal and ask."

Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei looked at each other in surprise.

Based on their understanding of Yu Shao, if this matter was false, Yu Shao would never take the initiative to ask them to call and ask.

Is this true? But how is this possible? ! "Old Yu, as far as I know, professional chess players earn a lot, and becoming a professional chess player can also guarantee admission to a university." Cai Xiaomei whispered to Yu Dongming.

"How could I not know this?"

Yu Dongming glanced at his wife with some dissatisfaction. It was common knowledge that professional chess players not only earned a lot of money, but also had a high status. It was also common knowledge that those well-known chess players had a lot of endorsements.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In this world, although Go is not very popular, its influence is too great, spreading across the globe. It is the only international chess sport, and other chess sports cannot even compare to it.

Yu Dongming picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not call the principal. He sat next to Yu Shao and said, "Son, did you really beat a former teenager who was trying to get a dan?"

"Dad, how many times have you asked me this?"

Yu Shao was somewhat helpless, nodded, and said, "Yes, I won."

“But he was once a young man who was striving for a Dan realm. The reason why he is no longer a young man who is striving for a Dan realm is probably because he lacks strength, right?” Yu Dongming asked.

After these words were spoken, Yu Shao was unable to refute them for a moment. After all, this should indeed be the fact.

If they are capable enough, it is unlikely that a young chess player who is striving to become a professional chess player will give up on the path to becoming a professional chess player and go back to school to study.

It was so in the previous life, and it is even more so in this life.

"Also, that Teacher Chen, he shouldn't be a specialist in teaching Go, right? Even if he really thinks you can become a professional Go player, his judgment may not be accurate." Yu Dongming spoke again.

"Dad, but..."

Just as Yu Shao was about to speak, Yu Dongming waved his hand and interrupted him.

"No need to say more. I won't call you anymore. Let's do this."

Yu Dongming pondered for a moment and said, "Your mother and I don't know anything about Go, but I know a retired professional Go player."

"He used to be a professional first-level player. Now he runs a Go tutoring class in the city center, specializing in teaching young people how to play Go. I wanted you to learn Go from him before."

"This weekend, your mother and I will take you to play a game with him and let him judge whether you have the potential to become a professional chess player."

"This should be okay, right?"
