Chapter 99: Can you become a professional chess player just because you want to? (Seventh update)

Monday.

Yu Shao came to the classroom slowly after the morning self-study. He had not used up the conduct points he had been given earlier, so he was being willful.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Yu Shao heard Zhou De shouting at the top of his voice, bragging to everyone around with a wild and excited look on his face.

"At that time, Yu Shao made a move directly, and the opponent was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was speechless. It was really a shocking move, and it amazed everyone. Only I, Jiangling Shen Yi, saw the true intention of Yu Shao's move..."

When they saw Yu Shao walk into the classroom, all the students turned their eyes to him.

Cheng Mengjie was also looking at Yu Shao at this time, with a complicated expression.

Zhou De looked at Yu Shao and raised his eyebrows complacently, as if to say, "Brother, do you feel good pretending like this?" Yu Shao looked at Zhou De speechlessly, then walked to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, opened his schoolbag, and took out his textbook.

"Brother, teach me how to play chess."

Zhou De came over and said, "I want to learn that big avalanche. I read in a book that this pattern is extremely complex and difficult to master. Even professional chess players are terrified by it. It's so cool!"

"Less avalanches."

Yu Shao glanced at Zhou De and spoke.

"Why?"

Zhou De's eyes widened and he said, "Such a handsome formula, this is my destiny formula!"

"You like to show off when playing games, but when you see your record of 0/11/0, don't you reflect on the reason?"

Yu Shao asked back: "And didn't you say some time ago that the three-star chain was your destiny layout?"

"You look down on me, don't you?"

Hearing this, Zhou De was immediately furious: "Games are games, Go is Go, I'm determined to learn this avalanche, and when I learn it, I'll beat you up."

Yu Shao glanced at Zhou De, but seeing that Zhou De was determined to learn the avalanche pattern, he didn't say anything else.

Although the big avalanche has indeed been calculated by AI to be invalid, that is for professional chess players. If you are just an amateur chess player, a big avalanche will not have much impact.

And the most important thing is that in the past month, Yu Shao discovered something that was more difficult for him to accept than eating shit.

That guy Zhou De is actually better than Go and he actually has some talent.

Soon, after two classes, it was time for physical exercises.

A group of students left the teaching building and came to the playground in a crowd, but to everyone's surprise, the familiar melody of the National Radio Gymnastics did not sound today.

Suddenly, all the students in the school looked at each other in confusion.

The horn does not work?

Not long after, the paunchy principal came to the big stage in front of the playground, holding the microphone, and said with a smile: "Students, please be quiet."

The students in the audience suddenly quieted down and looked at the principal with confusion on their faces.

"Just the day before yesterday, our students Yu Shao, Xu Zijin, and Zhong Yufei represented our school in the 8th Municipal High School Go League held by the Municipal Education Bureau, and successfully won the championship!"

The principal smiled and said, "As the champions of this competition, each of the three of them received a prize of 3,000 yuan from the Education Bureau, and a certificate of 'Outstanding Young Chess Player'!"

"Now, let's welcome them to the stage to receive their awards with warm applause!"

When the students heard the principal's words, there was an uproar.

"Three thousand? Holy shit, the prize money for a city high school Go league champion is so much?"

"What are you talking about? How can a Go tournament have a low prize money? Professional tournaments often have prize money of millions, and international tournaments have prize pools of tens of millions. Isn't three thousand dollars just scratching the surface?"

"That's not the key point. The problem is that I heard that there are two former junior high school students from South China No. 3 Middle School who were promoted to the Dan level. How could they win? Our school has been eliminated in the first round for several times, but this time they won the championship?"

"Didn't Yu Shao and Xu Zijin beat Wu Shuheng 3rd dan? Why can't they win?"

"You let the child be eaten?"

"No, if they can beat the former teenagers who were preparing for the dan level, then don't they have a chance to become professional chess players?"

"I heard that once you become a professional chess player, you can be directly admitted to a university?"

"Admission is nothing. Money is what's important! Do you know how much professional chess players make?"

"No, it's too difficult to become a professional chess player. I have a distant cousin who has been learning chess in the dojo since she was a child, but she has been trying to get a professional chess rank for seven years and she still hasn't made it. She's already 18 years old this year."

The crowd became abuzz with discussion for a moment, and many who knew Yu Shao looked towards him with surprised expressions.

In the crowd, Yu Shao was a little surprised when he heard the principal's words. He didn't expect that the bonus would be distributed in front of all the teachers and students in the school.

"Yu Shao, what are you standing there for?"

Seeing that Yu Shao hadn't moved yet, Li Kang couldn't help but frown slightly and urged him, "Go up on stage to receive the award!"

Yu Shao finally came to his senses, nodded, and quickly walked up to the stage and took the envelope containing the bonus and the certificate from the principal.

Soon, Xu Zijin and Zhong Yufei also went on stage one after another and received their own certificates and bonuses.

"Now, let's give a warm round of applause to congratulate Yu Shao, Xu Zijin, and Zhong Yufei again for their outstanding performance in the competition. We hope they can keep up the good work!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After distributing the bonuses and certificates, the principal took the microphone and spoke again with a smile.

Suddenly, the whole playground was filled with thunderous applause. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were envious, some were admiring, and of course, some were more or less sour.

Three thousand yuan may not be a big deal for an adult, but for a high school student, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

After Yu Shao stepped down from the stage, the principal continued to talk for a long time before finally ending today's physical exercises.

"Old Yu, you have to treat us today!"

As soon as the break was over, Zhou De spoke fiercely, as if he would break off the friendship if the other party didn't treat him to a meal.

"Yes, yes, yes, treat me! Old Yu, you really deserve to die!"

Zhang Wenbo also came over, not hiding the jealousy on his face, and said, "After school today, let's go five-way, and you have to pay for the internet!"

…………

In the evening, after playing five-man team with Zhou De and others for the first time in a long time and happily losing seven games in a row, Yu Shao returned home.

After finishing his homework, Yu Shao curled up on the sofa, watching TV while waiting for Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei to come home.

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei finally returned home. After opening the door, they began to change their shoes at the doorstep.

"Dad, Mom, you're back?"

Seeing Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei coming back, Yu Shao immediately called out.

"Um."

While changing his shoes, Yu Dongming looked up at Yu Shao and asked, "Watching TV again, have you finished your homework?"

“I’ve finished writing.”

Yu Shao nodded, then said, "Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something."

"What's wrong, you want money?"

Upon hearing Yu Shao's tone, Yu Dongming seemed to have anticipated what Yu Shao was going to say, and asked, "What do you want the money for?"

"no."

Yu Shao shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I want to be a professional chess player."

Hearing this, Yu Dongming and Cai Xiaomei were stunned.

After being stunned for a long time, Yu Dongming frowned and said, "Are you having a fever? What nonsense are you talking about? Professional chess player? You can become one if you want to?"
