Chapter 50 You've Actually Done It Very Well

"Maybe because I just finished playing chess, I couldn't adjust to my current state immediately. Although I still tried to hold back as much as possible, but..."

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard silently, feeling a little regretful.

For low-level chess players, unless they need to win in the competition, high-level chess players like him generally will not use their full strength.

This is like some Go dojos with very high entry barriers do not allow the young players in their dojo to participate in amateur competitions, even if they have not yet become professional.

because……

Once you use all your strength, it may cause those chess players who are still growing to fail.

It was for this reason that he did not play the two games of chess between him and Zheng Qin seriously.

He did not go all out in this game and still held back, but Xu Zijin also played well in this game. After leading the situation into a complicated and entangled one, he made some very sharp moves.

Because of this, in that complicated situation, facing the aggressive white pieces, he sometimes had to use more ferocious moves, which led to the white pieces losing so miserably.

If Xu Zijin had played worse, then Yu Shao could have even accompanied Xu Zijin until the end...

"You played really well."

Yu Shao said softly.

What he said was true. In Yu Shao's opinion, Xu Zijin's chess skills should be weaker than Zheng Qin's, but among amateur chess players, he was already at an extremely top level.

But Xu Zijin didn't react at all. She still kept her head down, her hair covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression at all.

She sat motionless in the chair without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yu Shao sighed and could only start to pack up the chess pieces himself.

Soon, Yu Shao collected all the chess pieces, looked up at Chen Jiaming, and said, "Teacher Chen, it's almost time, can I go back now?"

"Ah? Ah, sure."

Chen Jiaming suddenly woke up from his dream, nodded, and said, "But don't you want to have dinner? The school cafeteria should have prepared it, you can go over and eat before leaving."

"Forget it today."

Yu Shao shook his head. He really didn't know how to face Xu Zijin. He said, "I'll just buy some food on the way."

After saying that, Yu Shao stood up, put on his schoolbag, and fled out of the activity room.

The activity room became quiet again.

Xu Zijin still lowered his head and sat on the chair.

"Xu Zijin...are you okay?"

After a moment, Chen Jiaming finally couldn't help it and asked in a worried tone.

Xu Zijin still didn't speak, as if he couldn't hear anything at all.

"Xu——"

Chen Jiaming was just about to continue speaking, but he seemed to have discovered something, and he was stunned and suddenly shut his mouth.

Xu Zijin's body was trembling slightly.

Although the frequency was very slight, Chen Jiaming noticed it.

Chen Jiaming was silent for a moment, then turned to Zhong Yufei and said, "Let's go out and leave Xu alone for a while."

"ah?"

Zhong Yufei finally came to his senses at this time, nodded subconsciously, and followed Chen Jiaming out of the activity room.

After leaving the activity room, Zhong Yufei let out a long breath with lingering fear and patted his chest: "Yu Shao actually... has such chess skills? It's really..."

Suddenly, he found words to describe his thoughts.

Zhong Yufei seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Although Xu Zijin lost, his Go skills are still very strong. With Yu Shao and Xu Zijin here, I'm afraid no one can be our opponent in this Go League, right?"

"Compared with them two, I am simply... a little too weak." Zhong Yufei shook his head and sighed.

Chen Jiaming was silent for a while, then said, "Then you should play chess with Yu Shao more often in the future, which should be very helpful in improving your chess skills."

"ha?"

Zhong Yufei was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head like a rattle and flatly refused: "No, no, Teacher Chen, playing chess with him, even if it can improve my chess skills..."

"But I'm afraid your self-confidence will be completely destroyed, right?"

…………

the next day.

The school bell rang, and the Chinese teacher hurriedly left the classroom after assigning homework. The classroom suddenly became noisy.

Yu Shao felt a headache when he thought about going to the activity room later.

"Zhou De, where is your book 'Thirty-eight Lectures on Introduction to Go'? Lend it to me and I'll return it to you tomorrow." Yu Shao thought for a moment, turned to Zhou De and said.

"Let go home."

While collecting his schoolbag, Zhou De asked curiously, "What do you want an introductory Go book for?"

"There should be chess records on it. I'll write them down later."

Yu Shao explained, then glanced at Zhou De and said, "Didn't you vow to learn chess? Why? You gave up again? You are indeed you, Old Zhou."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I'm a genius, genius, you know?"

Zhou De looked very proud, and pulled out a book called "A Great Lecture on Go Patterns" from his desk, saying, "Brother, I have already skipped the novice stage, and have learned almost all the basics. I have already started to learn the patterns!"

"hiss!"

Yu Shao took a breath, a little unconvinced, and asked, "Is it true?"

“Really?”

Zhou De said proudly: "It's nothing more than anger, life and death, conquering children, real eyes and fake eyes. These are too simple, a piece of cake! I, Jiangling Shen Yi, am not just a name for nothing."

"Really?"

Yu Shao asked, "Can you solve all those life and death problems in the book?"

"Well……"

Zhou De seemed to have hit a sore spot, and argued, "It's just a life-or-death question. I'll get it done sooner or later if I play a few more games. I'll learn the layout first."

"Lend me the book first, and I'll return it to you tomorrow."

Yu Shao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhou De and directly snatched the book "Go Fixed Pattern Lecture" from Zhou De.

"Your book is still my book. Why are you so arrogant when borrowing books?"

Zhou De complained, then seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Old Yu, can I go to your activity room?"

"you?"

Yu Shao glanced at Zhou De and asked, "Are you targeting Xu Zijin?"

"I don't."

Zhou De flatly denied: "Really not! I just want to learn chess! You see, I already know the most basic knowledge, but no one plays with me! I want to improve! I want to learn!"

Yu Shao stared at Zhou De, as if he could see through his soul.

"Well, a little bit."

Zhou De finally gave in and said, "But, which boy in the school doesn't have his eyes on Xu Zijin? I'm just having fun watching her. Besides, I really need to find someone to play chess with. I just started learning, so I can't go to a chess hall to play, right?"

Yu Shao thought about it and thought it would be a good idea to take Zhou De with him, after all, he could watch the clown show, so he said, "You come with me, and when Teacher Chen arrives, I'll talk to him. It should be fine."

“Good brother!”

Zhou De excitedly came up and gave Yu Shao a bear hug.
