Chapter 8 The key to victory lies not only on the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard

After Li Kang finished speaking, the reaction from the audience was not very strong.

Go is actually a very ambiguous thing. You may say it is a niche game, but almost everyone in the world knows about it. You can often see people playing Go in movies and TV dramas, especially costume dramas.

And every time I see someone playing chess in a movie or TV show, this person inexplicably gives people a feeling that he is very awesome and a big shot.

But speaking of the general public, there are actually not many people who can play Go. Moreover, there is a huge difference between being able to play Go and knowing how to play Go.

Those who only understand the basic rules of life and death, victory and defeat can even be said to have not even entered the door, but such people are often the most numerous.

Once one has gotten started with Go, however, they will find that they still cannot play the game because they know how to make judgments, discard items, and count points, but they do not understand the overall situation. After realizing this, many people will give up.

After learning how to play Go, you will find that you still have a very long way to go before you can play Go well.

In short, to put it simply, the water is a bit deep and hard to grasp.

Moreover, this time they were playing against professional players, so the outcome was basically a loss, and a crushing defeat at that. There was no way they could pretend to be cool, so those students who knew how to play Go naturally lost interest.

More importantly, when they were students, most of them were still independent people, generally had social phobias, and were ashamed to show their faces in front of the teachers and students of the whole school.

Li Kang seemed to have expected this reaction from the students, so he cleared his throat and continued, "You don't need to be very good at playing, as long as you know how to play."

After a pause, Li Kang dropped a trump card: "If you sign up to participate, you can get 50 extra points for conduct. Of course, those who don't know how to play Go at all should not embarrass themselves. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the entire class lit up, and even Yu Shao was shamelessly moved.

Back to age sixteen, everything else was fine. The only thing that made Yu Shao feel miserable was that he had to get up from bed at 6:30 every morning to attend morning self-study.

But if there are conduct points, that means you don’t have to attend the five morning self-study classes!!! “That’s it, get out of class dismissed.”

After saying that, Li Kang took the thermos cup, turned around and left the classroom.

"What the hell, what the hell, what the hell! Lao Yu, give me some extra points for my conduct. I'm tempted!"

Zhou De grabbed Yu Shao's sleeve and looked very excited. Like Yu Shao, his conduct score was only 60 points now, and they both pursued excitement.

"Can you play Go?"

Yu Shao looked at Zhou De in shock, somewhat doubting his life.

"Old Yu, you know me. I'm a sports student."

Zhou De shook his head and said, "The most I can do is use the chessboard to beat the opponent to death."

What is the contemporary Liu Qi? The key to victory or defeat is not only on the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard, right? Yu Shao was a little speechless and asked, "Then why are you so excited?"

"I hate that I can't play Go. The chance to get extra points is so rare!" Zhou De was filled with resentment and howled, "No one can judge me! I, Zhou De, also want to win a little bit over God!!!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Yu Shao's ears felt numb from Zhou De's shout.

Suddenly, Zhou De seemed to have thought of something and said, "However, it seems that our school really wants to avenge its previous humiliation this time."

"What the hell?" Yu Shao didn't understand and asked in confusion.

"you do not know?"

Zhou De suddenly became proud and said, "I also heard from my coach that our city's high school Go league is about to begin."

"You know, our school won first place for three consecutive years, those were the three years when Senior Wu Shuheng was there. But since Senior Wu Shuheng graduated, each year has been worse than the last."

"Last year, our school was ranked last, and we couldn't even beat several ordinary high schools. We lost face as a key high school!"

"I heard that our school is at home this time. If we don't get good results, we will be so embarrassed."

"So this time our school invited Senior Wu Shuheng back. I guess it was to boost morale and prepare for the league."

There is such a thing? This is the first time Yu Shao has heard of this. He can only say that athletes are really well-informed. Not only do they know a lot of gossip, but they also know this kind of thing.

At this moment, Zhou De suddenly exclaimed: "Fuck, Xu Zijin!"

Yu Shao turned his head and saw Xu Zijin in school uniform walking past the window in the corridor. She didn't tie her hair up today, and her waist-length black hair was blown by the breeze, and a few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, which was particularly charming.

For a moment, almost all the boys in Class 7 turned their eyes to the window.

At this moment, Xu Zijin seemed to notice something. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Class 7. His eyes were clear as if they could reflect people.

All the boys in Class 7 suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat.

Mom, do you know that Cupid shot an arrow into my heart? What? You asked me who I would save first if you and Xu Zijin fell into the river? I would definitely save you first.

Then jump in and fall in love with her.

But soon, Xu Zijin withdrew his gaze, continued walking forward, and not long after, he disappeared from the window.

After losing sight of Xu Zijin, all the boys, who were clearly not in a relationship at all, inexplicably felt as if they had tasted the bitterness of a broken heart.

"Xu Zijin is looking at me!"

Zhou De's pupils suddenly trembled, and he grabbed Yu Shao's sleeve tightly, and said excitedly: "Old Yu, Xu Zijin stopped just now to peek at me!"

"The three biggest illusions in life are: she is watching me, she likes me, and I can fight back." Yu Shao reminded kindly.

"No!"

Zhou De said confidently: "She is definitely peeking at me."

"First of all, even if Xu Zijin was really looking at you, he wasn't peeking at you, but looking at you openly."

Yu Shao corrected him, "Secondly, I'm right next to you. How could I not know that she was looking at you? Brother, don't you really think it's your illusion?"

After hearing what Yu Shao said, Zhou Dezhen was a little uncertain.

"Did she really not look at me?"

Yu Shao was silent now.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Because, in fact, he also felt that Xu Zijin seemed to have looked in his direction just now.

At this time, the other boys in Class 7 finally came to their senses and immediately started arguing.

"Xu Zijin was looking at me just now!"

"Bullshit, you're obviously looking at me!"

"Damn it, it's me, it's me!"

At this moment, Zhou De finally felt that he might have been having an illusion.

Zhou De sighed dejectedly and said, "Oh, it would be nice if I could sit by the window."

"Why?"

Yu Shao was a little confused.

"This way, when Xu Zijin leaves from the window, I can still smell her body fragrance." Zhou De said.

Yu Shao was a little puzzled and asked, "How do you know she has body odor? Maybe she doesn't."

"Look at her face, there must be one."

Zhou De said seriously, "Even if not, seeing her face makes the air fragrant."

"Wait, brother, first I have to confirm whether it is for this face of hers or for this face of hers. The two have different meanings."

Yu Shao emphasized: "If it is the former, then what you smell is the scent of heather."

"Old Yu!"

Zhou De pointed at Yu Shao, looking as if he was not clean anymore: "What are you thinking! I am very pure!"

Yu Shao believed it.

"But, Lao Zhou, even if she is really good-looking, why don't you consider being in the same class with her?" Yu Shao asked.

"A class?"

Zhou De thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, one class! Damn it, those beasts in Class 6 really deserve to die!"

Zhou De suddenly began to indulge in sexual fantasies: "If I were in the same class as Xu Zijin...if we were deskmates...I don't even dare to think about it!"

"Rubbish, I just dared to think about it."

Yu Shao immediately expressed his contempt for Zhou De's cowardice.

"What?"

Zhou De's eyes widened suddenly, and he angrily scolded: "Don't you like Cheng Mengjie? Scumbag!"

There is a strange kind of innocence in student days. If you like someone, even if you are not together, you cannot like someone else.

Unless you have already issued a disclaimer in advance before you fall in love with someone else: I don’t like her anymore.

Otherwise, you are a scumbag.

The predecessor had once firmly expressed to Zhou De that he would continue to pursue Cheng Mengjie.

Brothers, if you think the book is well written, please collect and read it. The subject matter is very niche, so I hope everyone will support it.
