Chapter 40: All-out Game

After an afternoon of classes, the bell for the last class rang and it was finally time to go home.

The physics teacher at the podium stayed in class for a while, and after assigning homework, he finally left the classroom with a thick stack of homework books.

As soon as the physics teacher left, the classroom suddenly became noisy.

"Online?"

Zhang Wenbo came over as usual to invite people to go to the Internet cafe to play games.

"Let's go! Watch me kill everyone today!"

Zhou De agreed immediately, then turned to look at Yu Shao and said, "Old Yu, let's go together."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go during this time."

Yu Shao shook his head and said helplessly, "The principal wants me to represent the school in this high school Go league. In the next period of time, I will go to the activity room to practice Go and play Go scores every day after school."

Yu Shao was actually very resistant to going to the activity room to practice chess after school every day, because it was meaningless to him.

But since the principal had spoken, he couldn't refuse, otherwise he would seem too eccentric.

However, to Yu Shao's surprise, he found that deep down in his heart, he was not opposed to participating in the Go league, even though it was not challenging for him.

Perhaps, I was already used to fighting on the field in my previous life?

"Are you going to participate in this year's Go League?"

Zhou De was a little surprised at first, then he gloated over the misfortune and said happily: "It's so gratifying! The whole world is celebrating! I told you to secretly learn Go to show off, and now you are getting retribution, right?"

Yu Shao glanced at Zhou De and said, "Xu Zijin is here too."

"Grass!"

Zhou De was so angry that he immediately yelled, "You really deserve to die!"

“Okay, I have to go.”

Yu Shao found it a little funny. He quickly packed his schoolbag, waved goodbye to Zhou De and the others, and left the classroom.

"Old Zhou, it doesn't matter if Old Yu can't go. Let's go and get some points today." Seeing that Yu Shao really couldn't go, Zhang Wenbo said to Zhou De.

"No!"

Zhou De waved his hand and said through gritted teeth: "You guys go ahead."

Zhang Wenbo was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Old Zhou, don't be ridiculous! Didn't you just say you were going?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?"

Zhou Deli made a vow: "I have changed my mind. I want to play chess, too. I, Zhou De, want to win by half a step!"

…………

On the other side, Yu Shao quickly came to the door of the activity room with his schoolbag on his back, then pushed the door open and walked in.

At this time, Xu Zijin and Zhong Yufei had already arrived in the activity room, and Wang Rui and the other two seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Yu Shao push open the door and walk in, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Yu Shao.

"Sorry, the teacher is late for class, so I'm a little late."

Finding that he was the last to arrive, Yu Shao explained briefly.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're here."

Wang Rui shook his head, stood up, and said straight to the point: "Since everyone is here, then, let's stop talking nonsense and play chess."

After saying that, Wang Rui took the lead and walked to a chess table. The chessboard was already set on the table, and the chess boxes were placed on both sides of the chessboard.

Wang Rui pulled out a chair and sat down, then looked at Yu Shao, slowly exhaled, and said, "I'll play with you."

Yu Shao nodded, put down his schoolbag, walked to the opposite side of Wang Rui, pulled out a chair and sat down.

On the other side, Xu Zijin and Zhong Yufei quickly sat down opposite their opponents.

Although the game has not yet begun, the air is inexplicably filled with a depressing and heavy atmosphere.

Wang Rui opened the chess box in silence, then grabbed a handful of white pieces.

Seeing this, Yu Shao also reached into the chess box and grabbed a few black pieces.

Wang Rui loosened his grip, and the chess piece fell, jumping on the chessboard.

"Two, four, six, seven. Seven, an odd number."

After Wang Rui finished counting the chess pieces, he raised his head and spoke.

Yu Shao loosened his hand, and there were two black spots in his palm, an even number.

This means that in this game, Yu Shao will play with white, while Wang Rui will play with black first.

"I play black."

Seeing the two black pieces in Yu Shao's hand, Wang Rui started to pick up the black pieces on the chessboard after he finished speaking, and Yu Shao also put the white pieces back into the chess box.

"I'm going to give it my all, and I hope you will too."

Just then, Wang Rui suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Yu Shao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He really didn't want to play this game of chess too seriously. After all, he was very clear about his own strength. Even without using his best, he should be able to win easily even if he just played casually.

However, when Yu Shao saw Wang Rui's fighting spirit, he suddenly fell silent.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

From the round-robin match in the morning, Wang Rui had actually seen the gap between the two, but even so, he still chose to fight with Yu Shao.

So, it’s not that he doesn’t know the gap between them. On the contrary, he is very clear about the gap between them. However, he doesn’t want Yu Shao to hold back, even if he will lose miserably.

He wanted to play a game where both players gave their all.

"I see."

Yu Shao finally nodded and said, "I will take it seriously."

Hearing this, Wang Rui took a deep breath, then bowed his head to Yu Shao and said, "Please give me more advice."

"Please advise me."

Yu Shao also returned the gift immediately.

Wang Rui reached into the chess box, but did not place the move immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes.

Taking a long time to think before making the first move?

Yu Shao was slightly stunned, but did not urge him. He sat opposite Wang Rui, quietly waiting for the black piece to make a move.

Wang Rui closed his eyes and recalled every move made by Yu Shao in the previous round-robin game.

Even when he thinks back on it now, every move made by the black piece in that game of chess still brings him incomparable shock and pressure!

"He is very strong...undoubtedly strong, especially his understanding of the chess game, which is far superior to mine."

"Last year, I suffered a terrible defeat in the competition. I have put in so much effort for this year's Go League... Even if he is very strong, I will win!"

"If we're just competing in chess skills, then I'm unlikely to be his opponent. So, how can I win?"

It was two full minutes before Wang Rui finally opened his eyes.

His eyes sparkled, and he reached into the chess box and took out a chess piece.

Then, with his wrist raised high, the chess piece fell heavily! Snap! Sixteen columns and four rows, stars! Yu Shao remained silent, then took out the chess piece from the chess box and gently dropped it.

Four columns and four rows, stars!

Wang Rui followed closely behind and squeezed out the black piece.

Seventeen columns and sixteen rows, small mesh.

"Little eyes?"

Looking at the black piece on the chessboard, Yu Shao thought for two seconds and then continued to make his move.

Four columns and seventeen rows, small size.

“Crunch.”

Just then, the door of the activity room was gently pushed open, and Chen Jiaming, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked in.

When Chen Jiaming saw the six people playing chess, he was slightly stunned. Then he said nothing, but just walked quietly behind the crowd and watched the three games.
