Chapter 60
When she won the CKFA World Karting Championship, no one would have thought that this Chinese girl could do it.
But she is the miracle itself. Shouldn't we know this when she broke the record for the youngest champion in the CES International Karting Competition?
In the history of the CKFA World Karting Championship, there has never been a woman who has won the title. But Lin Mian did it.
From 2003 to 2004, Lin Mian himself could hardly remember how he got through it.
But her agent Chen Xiaoqiu knew the salty taste mixed with sweat.
As Lin Mian was growing up, Chen Xiaoqiu was also growing up. She took various exams, socialized constantly, and handled Lin Mian's personal affairs. She did everything very well.
It's not that she didn't have the idea of backing out. After all, what she wanted to do at the beginning was just to get a suitable salary and do a less complicated job. She would be satisfied with being Lin Mian's personal assistant. After all, Lin Mei was a generous boss.
But when Lin Mian said, "Don't you want to go on the F1 track with me? Make history with me."
Chen Xiaoqiu was moved by the ambition in the girl's brown eyes.
But winning the CKFA World Karting Championship was not enough for Lin Mian to enter the track she wanted to go to.
Because she is not old enough.
Even to enter the F4 track, one must be 15 years old, and the minimum age requirement for the F3 track is 16 years old, so Lin Mian cannot qualify.
She was so ahead of the curve, and no one had ever moved so fast before.
Even if her muscles feel sore, she won't stop.
When Chen Xiaoqiu thought Lin Mian would stop and enjoy campus life, Lin Mian did not stop.
"We promised to win every European karting championship, but we've only just finished."
Age is Lin Mian's limitation, but it is also her advantage.
Before she turns 16, she can win as many karting championships as possible, leaving her name and records on the track, waiting for future generations to challenge.
Lin Mian will not stop until his dream comes true.
She is not lacking in patience now, just like Lin Mian has paid too much to defeat Jin Zhi.
Once again at the Xingyue Cup finals, this is the third duel between Lin Mian and Jin Zhi.
This year's Star-Moon Cup was held as scheduled, in her country, in the summer when she just turned 14.
This final will be broadcast live on the sports channel, and anyone with a TV at home will be able to watch this game.
The pressure this time is much greater than the last game. This is a game at home, and if we lose, it will be hard not to be resented.
Even though Lin Mian is the representative of Chinese Go and is only 14 years old this year, the saliva will still splash on her.
But more spit will be directed at other people in the Go team. Many people will think that the other people in the team are too weak to support the team because a 14-year-old minor has to take on the responsibility.
But if you win, none of this will happen.
Everyone would just say that it was because Lin Mian was too strong, she was stronger than her age, so it wasn’t the Go team’s fault that she was the mainstay.
But the previous two failures made many people speculate that Jin Zhi would win this time.
If a victorious general cannot always win, can he still be called a general?
They all felt that Lin Mian needed a few more years of hard work, or wait until Jin Zhi retired before he could make a name for himself.
There was a sense of uneasiness and anxiety in the air, but more than that, there was silence, a silence that made the body tense.
The only sound you can hear is the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the board, like raindrops hitting the eaves, which cools you down even in the hot summer.
Kim Ji, who is nearly 45 years old, has a profound style of chess, which is a mountain that many chess players cannot overcome. In addition, he has an excellent view of the overall situation, making him an evergreen in the chess world of South Korea and even the world.
He has so many championship trophies that they have become toys in the hands of his little daughter, and his steadiness constantly reminds people of his great achievements.
His fingertips habitually stroked Heizi, and his eyes narrowed slightly, making it difficult to guess.
His opponent, Lin Mian, was a chess player he actually didn't want to see.
In the last game, he almost showed his weakness, but he didn't expect the same scene to happen again.
Those sharp eyes were so scorching, one didn't know whether this fire would burn him or burn himself.
The black chess formation is upright. Jin Zhi places his pieces on the periphery to form a force, intending to surround the center and fight a protracted battle.
He wanted to set the pace first, but Lin Mian had already seen through it and knew she would not repeat the same mistake.
She pushed the white chess piece into the opponent's seemingly strong but actually weak area, thus destroying the opponent's strategy.
This move was slightly radical, sounding the clarion call for an attack.
Jin Zhi was a veteran after all. He did not immediately fight back against Lin Mian's strength, but chose to take advantage of the situation and form a larger sphere of influence to gain more advantages.
The game quickly turned into a situation where black pieces gained momentum and white pieces took territory.
The black bear and snow leopard perched on the chessboard stared at each other fiercely. The airflow above them also stagnated. No one dared to breathe heavily in such a mysterious and profound change.
The situation quickly changed, and the Black Bear, under constant pressure from the Snow Leopard, could no longer maintain his composure. Black blocked White's advance towards the center and attacked White's weak points, intending to cover the center.
The black chess pieces seem to have such strong energy, with an endless flow of vitality, which is so unstoppable.
Everyone thinks that Jin Zhi is the conductor of this game and everything will go according to his pace.
After all, this is the world championship, which is a huge mountain that South Korea cannot cross.
However, snow leopards are not to be trifled with. In the vibrant yet dangerous nature, the tough and sacred king of the snow mountains has many ways to survive.
Faced with this life-and-death crisis, Lin Mian did not adopt conventional methods, but instead placed the white chess pieces deep and almost unreasonably into the heart of the black chess pieces, which seemed to be an iron wall.
There was an uproar at the scene. This was totally unlike a move that a chess player who had been defeated by his opponent twice would make. It was too risky and too tough!
Why does she have such a tough attitude?
Facing an opponent like Jin Zhi, especially one who had defeated her twice, shouldn't she be more cautious and use a humble attitude to gain the other party's understanding so that her defeat would not be too embarrassing?
How dare she!
But Lin Mian dared to do it. She dared to risk her life and fight to the death. She dared to declare war on all the strong men!
Jin Zhi frowned, feeling surprised yet not surprised.
He felt a little panicked, as everything before him seemed to confirm that the situation he had expected was about to appear before him.
No, he must not let the prophecy come true. He cannot accept that he has gone from being a hero to being despised!
After a long period of thinking, Jin Zhi exceeded the time limit for the first time. Finally, he made up his mind to fight back with the strongest attack method.
A chess game that was so thrilling that it could be recorded in chess manuals and passed down to future generations began.
The black chess attack is like a tsunami, leaving no room for maneuver.
But today's Lin Mian is a completely different Lin Mian. She is even more difficult to deal with than the last time Jin Zhi played against her. Her progress is always amazing.
Every move is calculated quickly and deeply, accurately and sharply.
The snow leopard rushed left and right while being surrounded by the black bears. Every time it seemed extremely dangerous, it could always find the most accurate and unexpected way to survive, and even made a counterattack, breaking the black chess's external forces into pieces.
Maybe it was because of the heat or panic, but sweat streamed down Jin Zhi's forehead. He went down slower and slower, even exceeding the time limit three times.
Even if he didn't show any difficulty, his actions could not be concealed. Everyone knew that Jin Zhi was at a disadvantage at this moment.
This made more and more people focus their attention on the girl. Compared with Jin Zhi, she seemed more calm.
In those brown eyes, there were only the chess pieces fighting on the chessboard. It was hard to tell that she could be so calm and focused when everyone was pessimistic about her.
As the fight became increasingly fierce, Jin Zhi made a misjudgment that affected the outcome of the game.
When the black piece was captured, he did not immediately take it back even though he could have done so. Instead, he placed it somewhere else first, wanting to wait for Lin Mian to make a move before taking it back.
However, Lin Mian also reacted very quickly. Not only did he completely activate the white chess pieces, ensuring that the pieces would not be taken away by Jin Zhi, he also took the territory occupied by the black chess pieces in the corner.
Whether it was the push and pull of "using stillness to overcome movement" or "using softness to overcome hardness" similar to Tai Chi, Lin Mian's response was to resolve it quickly and easily.
The black chess piece loses more than it gains and can only watch its sphere of influence being continuously occupied by the white chess piece.
Jin Zhi's face gradually turned pale. The black chess pieces on the chessboard were already riddled with holes, and even a miracle doctor could not save them.
Of course he is unwilling to accept this!
Faced with an incurable disease, Jin Zhi attempted to disrupt the situation in the fight for the official piece, but Lin Mian was unwilling and would not allow him to turn the tables.
Lin Mian’s answer was to continue to expand the advantage without mercy.
Seeing that there was no chance of winning, Jin Zhi stared at the chessboard for a long time and sighed softly.
He picked up two chess pieces with his fingertips and placed them on the chessboard, as a final act of dignity for himself.
"Wow!"
Cheers of surprise and sighs of regret rang out all around, like countless explosions blasting in the ears.
Staring blankly at the cocoon in his hand, Lin Mian took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
This time she was the first to stand up and reach out to Jin Zhi. Jin Zhi raised his head, and under the light of the room, the color of his eyes became lighter, so lighter that Lin Mian could see his emotions clearly.
It was complicated and a bit depressing, and there seemed to be a faint sigh in the air.
At this moment, neither of them could hear the sound from the outside world. He was looking at her and she was looking at him.
In silence, the transfer of power was completed.
Jin Zhi stood up and shook Lin Mian's hand. He suddenly remembered a sentence said by his master who had introduced him to Buddhism.
Talented people emerge in every generation.
That was once his master's praise for him, and now it is also his emotion for her.
Maybe he really should take a break.
The reporters and spectators outside had no idea what the two were thinking, as the flashes of the cameras never stopped.
They only knew that Lin Mian's era was about to come.
Genius? Prodigy? Or perhaps God's daughter?
How to describe her?
He Xintong lowered his eyes.
In the cold ward, the only sound was the blaring TV. Everyone was celebrating, loudly congratulating the new world champion.
It was so noisy, yet extremely quiet.
He really wanted to go to the game in person, walk through the crowd to hug her and be the first person to congratulate her.
He believed countless times that there was a thread connecting them, which allowed their destinies to intertwine and allowed her to see his presence in her eyes.
But now he felt that all this might have been forced by him.
And what he forces and wants may be destined not to get.
If catching Lin Mian means catching happiness, then He Xintong doesn't think he is qualified to be happy now.
Perhaps, standing at a distance that is neither too far nor too close and watching her happy is his happiness.
