Chapter 106 You must not become a professional chess player!

In early July, as the temperature gets hotter, the noisy cicadas begin to chirp endlessly.

The annual Go ranking tournament has finally come to an end after fierce fighting and competition. At the same time, the second semester of high school has finally come to an end.

Summer vacation is coming.

"When you come back from summer vacation, you will be in your second year of high school. During this two-month vacation, you should have a good rest and pay attention to safety. Even though the weather is getting hotter, don't go to the river to play in the water."

On the podium, Li Kang said, "Well, I wish you all a happy summer vacation."

“Oh my!”

After hearing this, even though Li Kang hadn't left yet, the students in the audience couldn't help but cheer, and everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

This time, Li Kang let the students make a fuss and did not say anything to stop them. It was finally summer vacation and without the pressure of schoolwork, it was time to give the students an emotional release.

When Li Kang left the classroom, the students became even more noisy. Some even imitated the plot in the movie and tore up their textbooks with their hands, deliberately trying to show the crazy nature of youth.

"Brother, are you crazy? We are in the first year of high school, not the third year. We are not going to re-divide the classes next year, and our homeroom teacher is still Li Kang. Besides, this is summer homework!"

"Oh shit, tape! Quick, who has tape? Lend it to me!"

The student who tore the book suddenly widened his eyes, hurriedly picked up the pieces of the book, and looked for someone to borrow tape.

"Old Yu, have you seen the results of our region's Go qualifying tournament this year?"

Yu Shao was packing his schoolbag when Zhou De suddenly came over and asked.

"I don't know. What's wrong?"

Yu Shao asked as he put his summer homework into his schoolbag.

"That's the guy who came over to talk to you at the Go League. He's become a professional Go player!"

Zhou De was amazed and said, "It is said that he never lost a single game from the preliminaries, semi-finals to the finals. He has maintained an undefeated record. He has been talked about online these past two days!"

"He's been promoted..."

Yu Shao was not very surprised by this result. In his opinion, with Zheng Qin's chess ability, if he just wanted to get promoted to a professional level, it should not be a problem.

After all, when Yu Shao played the second game of chess with Zheng Qin, he underestimated his opponent and was almost tied by Zheng Qin. In the end, he had no choice but to take ruthless action.

"You don't know about this?"

Zhou De was a little incredulous and said, "Every year, professional chess players who succeed in getting promoted to professional chess will cause quite a stir, just like the top scorer in the college entrance examination."

"Not to mention that he got a perfect score this time, which is equivalent to getting full marks in every subject of the college entrance examination. I checked yesterday, and the last time someone in our region got a perfect score was five years ago!"

At this time, the classmate sitting in front of Yu Shao also turned around and asked, "You mean Zheng Qin? I know about this too. I've seen him appearing in short videos over the past few days, and he's even on the hot search list."

“Is this true or false?”

Yu Shao couldn't believe it.

Yu Shao has always known that, although Go is not very popular in this world, because Go spread to all parts of the world at a very early stage, it has a great influence internationally and a strong Go atmosphere.

However, Zheng Qin only succeeded in getting promoted to a professional position. Even though he got promoted with a perfect record, he was able to become a hot topic on the Internet. This was completely beyond Yu Shao's imagination.

You know, in the past, if a professional chess player wanted to be on the hot search list, he had to at least win the world championship.

The difference between winning the world championship and being ranked as a rank with a perfect record is not a world of difference, it's almost the difference between the foundation building stage and the saint stage! "What's there to deceive you about?"

The boy in the front row took out his phone from his trouser pocket, opened the Weibo hot search, and then handed the phone to Yu Shao and said, "Look, 32nd place."

"Okay, you kid brought a cell phone and haven't handed it in yet!" Zhou De caught Hua Dian and immediately looked like he had caught a thief, and scolded him harshly.

The boy in the front row looked fearless: "So what? It's summer vacation now anyway."

Yu Shao glanced at his phone and found that the 32nd place was actually a hot search about Zheng Qin's promotion to the professional dan position.

【A new first-dan who succeeded in becoming a dan player with an undefeated record! 】

Yu Shao was about to look away, but was shocked to find that the seventh most searched topic was also a piece of news about Go.

This trending search even has a red “explosive” character marked behind it, which shows that it is extremely popular. The ranking of this trending search is expected to continue to rise.

【Zhuang Weisheng advances to the Tianyuan title challenge! 】

"Zhuang Weisheng..."

Yu Shao had seen this name many times and had also read many chess records played by Zhuang Weisheng, so he had a deep impression of Zhuang Weisheng.

"I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The boy in the front row took his phone back, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Yu Shao, seeing that he won all the games and got promoted, you must be feeling stressed all of a sudden, right? It's not that easy to become a professional chess player."

Previously, Yu, Shao and his two companions won the city's high school Go league by defeating Huanan No. 3 Middle School, which had two former teenagers who were striving for the professional level.

Therefore, some people in the school felt that Yu Shao might have the potential to become a professional chess player.

However, many people also think that Yu Shao cannot become a professional chess player. After all, he only defeated a former young chess player, which does not mean much.

However, no matter whether they think Yu Shao has the potential to become a professional chess player or think that Yu Shao cannot become a professional chess player, they all have a common idea -

You must not become a professional chess player! No one wants to watch their classmates live like "other people's children". After all, one's own failure is frustrating, but the success of others is even more difficult to accept!

Yu Shao smiled and did not refute. He just said, "I am still taking the exam and haven't decided on my amateur rank yet. Let's see if I can get to amateur 5th rank first. Maybe I can't even get to amateur 5th rank."

"really."

At this time, Zhou Deshen nodded in agreement and said to the boy in the front row: "Although Lao Yu has some ability, it is still too difficult for him to be a professional chess player. However, in order to support my good brother, I am willing to believe him. How about we make a bet?"

"Um?"

The boy in the front row was stunned and asked, "How do we bet?"

Zhou De looked like he was ready to die for his brother. He said righteously, "Let's bet on whether Lao Yu can become a professional chess player. I'll bet one hundred dollars. Just consider it a gift to you. This hundred dollars represents my best wishes for Lao Yu!"

Yu Shao glanced at Zhou De speechlessly, shook his head, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving first. See you when school starts."

After saying that, Yu Shao put on his schoolbag and left the classroom without waiting for Zhou De to reply.

Not long after, when he returned home, Yu Shao drove to his bedroom, put down his schoolbag, slowly exhaled, and fell into thought.

In the coming year, when the next ranking tournament begins, I will probably have to go through the grading and promotion process all over again. It’s not difficult, just a little troublesome.

However, I definitely cannot just sit around doing nothing this year. Since I have decided to improve my attacking and killing abilities and make up for my shortcomings in this life, I must play more chess to hone myself.

"So...playing chess online?"

"Consider yourself as a pure attacking chess player, and use online chess to gradually adapt to this process!"

Yu Shao thought about it, walked to the computer, turned it on, and started searching for a chess platform online.

Soon, Yu Shao got the result.

Currently, the most popular Go game platform in China is Shoutan Chunqiu, but worldwide, the most popular Go platform is nineteen, which means nineteen, meaning Go has nineteen lines.

In other words, Shoutan Chunqiu is the domestic server, while Shijiu is the foreign server.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, although Nineteen is a foreign server, just like the game, there must be many domestic chess players mixed in the foreign server.

Yu Shao pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision. He clicked the mouse lightly, downloaded the Nineteen client, and quickly registered an account.

Soon, it jumped to the naming interface.

Nineteen is an international platform, and Chinese characters cannot appear in the ID. Yu Shao thought about it and didn’t really know what name to give it, so he just typed a bunch of random characters.

shdiide.

"Okay, this is it."

Yu Shao didn’t care much about what the ID was. He clicked the mouse lightly and it showed that there was no duplicate name, so the registration was successful.

Then, Yu Shao clicked the mouse again and started matching opponents.

After a while, Yu Shao found his opponent.

Yu Shao took a look at the opponent's ID and found it a little funny, because the opponent's ID was the same as his, also a string of garbled characters, called ssssshjg, and the number of games was also 0, so he should have just downloaded this platform.

"Hey, can you still guess first?"

Yu Shao exclaimed, somewhat surprised.

Generally speaking, when playing chess online, after matching your opponent, black and white are randomly assigned by the system, without any guessing.

However, although he has been temporarily assigned to the black piece, he can use the mouse to click on one or two black pieces to guess the odd or even number and make a guess first.

Yu Shao slid the mouse, clicked on the two black pieces, and chose to guess an even number.

Soon, the other side's guess came out.

The opponent clicked on two white pieces in total, which is also an even number.

This means that Yu Shao will play black first in this game.

Yu Shao lightly clicked the mouse and quickly placed the black piece in the upper right corner of the chessboard.

Sixteen columns and four rows, stars.

clatter.

The moment Yu Shao clicked the mouse to place the chess piece, the sound effect of the chess piece dropping also sounded, which was very lifelike.

Seeing the black piece fall, the opponent quickly placed the white piece.

Four columns and sixteen rows, stars.

Both sides started the game with Star Small Eye against Two Stars, and then both made moves very quickly, and soon they had played ten moves.

"It's OK, not a beginner."

Yu Shao nodded secretly. He had thought that he would meet a beginner like Zhou De at the beginning, but he didn't expect that judging from the layout alone, the opponent obviously had a certain level.

However, Yu Shao is currently unable to judge what level the person is at as to why he has to make such a few moves.

Yu Shao thought about it, clicked the mouse again, and placed the chess piece.

clatter.

Sixteen columns and nine rows, flying pressure.

This move was obviously beyond the opponent's expectations. He did not continue to place his chess piece immediately as before, but fell into long thought.

After a while, the white piece finally fell again.

Twelve columns and four rows, flying pressure!

"He's also coming up?"

Yu Shao was a little surprised. The white piece's flying pressure was very strong. Facing the black piece's tentative flying pressure, he ignored it and chose to bite back at the black piece, flying pressure on the upper right black piece, confronting it head-on.

However, Yu Shao didn't think too much about it. He quickly moved the mouse again and placed the chess piece.

Suddenly, the sound of chess pieces dropping on the ground began to echo in the room.
