When Qiu Shui stepped out of the elevator to the second floor, the chess players standing in the aisle all looked over at the same time.
"Here he comes, here he comes, he is Qiu Shui."
"That's him. I went back and watched the live broadcast yesterday. His chess playing was amazing."
“I heard that many professional chess players watched his live broadcast replay.”
"His strength should be above the third stage."
"What do you mean above level three? I heard that his strength is most likely above level five."
"Is he that strong? No wonder he took so much less time than the second place in all the previous matches. It turns out that he is not just lucky, but really very strong."
…
The eyes of those professional chess players seemed to be fixed on Qiu Shui.
After yesterday's battle, there were six amateur chess players left besides Qiu Shui.
That is to say, out of 70 amateur chess players, only 7 entered the second round of the official competition.
Among the 7 people, Qiu Shui is the strongest.
The professional chess players competing today are one or two levels higher than yesterday.
In the Go world, the strong are respected.
After watching the replay of Qiu Shui's live broadcast yesterday, the attitude of these professional chess players towards Qiu Shui changed from doubt to respect.
Because they didn't expect that Qiu Shui actually won the first place by his own strength.
Those who originally doubted Qiu Shui were slapped in the face.
After all, Qiu Shui's game of chess yesterday was truly shocking.
Such a sharp and strange style of play is almost never seen in the Go world.
Among the 7 amateur chess players, except Qiu Shui, the rest are all teenagers who are trying to become a professional chess player.
Bai Yan is one of them.
Bai Yan actually already possesses the strength of a professional chess player. He was just unlucky last year and met Fang Wen, which led to him being eliminated.
After he finished the game, he went back to watch Qiu Shui's game. After reading it, I fell silent.
He knew Qiu Shui was very strong. After all, Qiu Shui was the one who defeated Lou Yuchen.
Moreover, he knew that Qiu Shui's chess skills were not the strongest before.
Because Qiu Shui not only had an arm injury before, but also hadn't played chess for a long time.
He couldn't imagine how strong Qiu Shui would be when he recovered to his true strength.
Before this, he, who didn't know the truth, had actually been mocking Qiu Shui for being a weakling.
Just think about it, he didn't even have the face to see Qiu Shui.
However, he had no way to avoid today's game.
Because he and Qiu Shui were assigned to the same competition field again.
Moreover, it was right next to Qiu Shui.
When Qiu Shui stepped into the competition field, the originally lively competition field suddenly became silent, with the sound of a pin drop being heard.
Everyone looked at Qiu Shui at the same time.
Under everyone's gaze, Qiu Shui found his own table.
Seeing that Bai Yan was actually sitting next to him, he smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
Qiu Shui actually greeted him?
Bai Yan's eyes were a little evasive, not daring to meet Qiu Shui's gaze. With an unnatural expression, he replied, "Yes, what a coincidence."
As soon as he saw Qiu Shui, Bai Yan remembered his previous embarrassing and idiotic behavior.
I felt so embarrassed in front of Qiu Shui.
Faced with Bai Yan's strange attitude, Qiu Shui felt a little strange at first.
Suddenly I remembered that his attitude had been a little strange since he saw me beat Lou Yuchen.
When facing himself, he is no longer as arrogant as before.
Qiu Shui seemed to understand something. He glanced at Bai Yan and couldn't help but chuckle.
Then he looked away.
This little kid looks so embarrassed, it's really cute.
Qiu Shui glanced at the name tag on the table across from him.
I found out it was a foreigner's name.
The name tag not only shows the rank of the name, but also the nationality.
Qiu Shui then remembered that many overseas chess players also participated in this Hualong Cup competition.
Basically, they all come here for the championship.
Qiu Shui's opponent is named Evan, a professional third-dan.
He is a professional chess player from the United States.
Qiu Shui doesn't know much about professional chess players in China, let alone those abroad.
So he didn't care too much.
Soon, Qiu Shui's opponent arrived.
He was a blond, blue-eyed, mature-looking man with a handsome appearance.
However, people from foreign countries generally look much more mature than their actual age.
After Evan sat down, he excitedly grabbed Qiu Shui's hand.
"It's you? I didn't expect my opponent to be you. Hello, I'm Evan Lorisk. I'm your fan."
Evan was very excited. He had loved Go since he was a child, but his talent was limited.
However, through his own efforts, he also became a professional Go player.
Chinese Go players are world-famous for their skills.
He has long wanted to come to China to see the world, so he has been working hard to learn Chinese.
It just so happens that the high prize money of this year's Hualong Cup has attracted many professional chess players from all over the world.
His club arranged for these chess players to come and participate in the competition. Gain more competition experience.
It was because of this that he had the opportunity to fly from the United States to China.
Like other professional chess players, he actually looks down on amateur chess players.
It was just that after I heard about Qiu Shui yesterday, I became curious and went to watch the replay of Qiu Shui’s live broadcast.
Qiu Shui's sharp and strange chess style, as well as his superb chess skills, conquered Evan.
He immediately became a fan of Qiu Shui.
"My fans?" Qiu Shui was a little surprised. He actually had fans?
Evan's words were full of foreign accents.
But the pronunciation is still quite clear.
"Yes, yes. I watched your live broadcast replay all night yesterday. You are really amazing. I didn't expect that my opponent today would be you."
Evan was very excited. He didn't expect that an amateur chess player could have such strong chess skills.
When he saw the replay, he was very curious about Bao Zhan’s frightened look.
Although Qiu Shui's chess style is very sharp and strange. But he didn't understand why Bao Zhan looked so frightened.
I heard that Bao Zhan was in a trance after participating in the competition yesterday. There seems to be something wrong with the mental state.
When Qiu Shui was mentioned, he showed an expression of fear as if he had seen a ghost.
Therefore, Evan was very curious as to why Qiu Shui's chess skills made Bao Zhan so scared.
Unexpectedly, I met him today.
Qiu Shui pulled his hand out of Evan's, looked at the very excited Evan, and said, "Since you watched my game yesterday, aren't you afraid that you will lose to me later?"
"Don't be afraid." Evan shook his head. "It must be very interesting to play chess with such a strong chess player like you. So, please give it your all later."
It can be seen that Evan really likes Go.
Because Qiu Shui saw the love for Go in his eyes.
"Okay." Qiu Shui fulfilled his wish.
Bai Yan, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two. Looking at Evan with an innocent face, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
This Evan really doesn't know whether he lives or dies!
I wonder if I will still be able to laugh after the game.
Soon, the competition began.
Qiu Shui really fulfilled Evan's wish.
Go all out.
Evan finally understood why Bao Zhan was so afraid of Qiu Shui.
Because Qiu Shui's chess is really frightening.
From the tenth move, Evan could no longer control his chess.
Every move he made was not the one he wanted to make.
And every move he made was a preparation for Qiu Shui's next fatal blow.
He was unable to resist, like a puppet being pulled by strings, walking step by step towards the deadly trap set by Qiu Shui.
That feeling of being out of control makes people feel suffocated and desperate.
The fear in my heart is spreading uncontrollably.
With a "click".
The chess piece in Evan's hand fell from his hand onto the chessboard.
His hands were shaking slightly.
After waiting for a long time, he finally found his own voice.
"I...I lost."
Qiu Shui pressed the timer and glanced at it. It only took him five minutes.
That’s the speed at which he goes all out. After forty moves, Evan had no way out.
"Cheng Rang, are you... okay?"
Qiu Shui looked at Evan with some pity. After all, he was his first fan. Could it be that he was destroyed by him just like that?
Evan didn't answer, but lowered his head. His bangs hid the expression on his face.
It's over. It looks like this fan is really going to be destroyed by myself.
Qiu Shui couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
He doesn't want this to happen, but he can't just ignore the requests of his fans.
Bai Yan on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, gloating.
I thought Evan was frightened, but unexpectedly he suddenly looked up. He said excitedly: "Amazing, Qiu, you are really amazing. It is really my honor to play chess with such a great chess player."
Evan was not as sad or frightened as Qiu Shui imagined.
On the contrary, I was so passionate and excited that I felt like tears were about to come out. His face was full of admiration for Qiu Shui.
"That chess player please be quiet and don't disturb other chess players' games."
It wasn't until the referee of the match reminded him that Evan suppressed his excitement. Then he happily followed Qiu Shui out of the arena.
Evan, who lost the game, was not depressed at all. Instead, he looked very happy, which was beyond Qiu Shui's expectations.
Finally, Evan pestered Qiu Shui for his cell phone number.
But probably because he ate too much for breakfast this morning, Qiu Shui suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
After getting rid of Evan's entanglement, he went straight to the bathroom.
After coming out, I was just about to walk towards the underground parking lot. What I saw instead was several people gathered together in front of me, seemingly arguing.
Then Qiu Shui heard familiar words and voices.
"Yes, that's what I said. All of you Chinese chess players, except Lou, are rubbish."
