Chapter 154 This chess style is so familiar



After Qiu Shui and Uncle Fu had their meal, they returned to the Jinyue Bay Villa.

Only after returning did Qiu Shui have time to take a good look at the account books of Renwang Mansion over the years.

Looking at those account books that were recorded using the most primitive method, Qiu Shui felt a headache.

He rubbed his aching forehead and said to the system, "System, you not only found me a great grandfather, but also a money-eating beast! The labor and maintenance costs alone are more than four million a year."

The system reminded: "Host, did you not see it clearly? Regarding the labor cost, more than 200,000 is only the cost of hourly workers. Now that Renwang Palace has been handed over to the host, with the host's identity, how can you still use hourly workers?"

"Hourly workers?" Qiu Shui quickly looked through the account book and saw that those who were cleaning and tidying up in Renwang Mansion were indeed hourly workers.

Oh my God, a month, the hourly workers alone would cost more than 200,000 yuan. If we hired full-time workers, wouldn’t the cost be doubled?

"The Niofu is a key cultural relic building in Kyoto. I suggest that the host hire a professional team to provide services. The hourly workers nowadays are not worthy of the host's status. There are many excellent service teams in this system. Would the host like to choose one?"

At this point the system begins to act as a salesman again.

"Professional team?"

Qiu Shui remembered the bodyguard team that the system had provided him with, which earned him 100 million yuan a year.

He held his forehead and said, "You are not going to give me another service team that earns 100 million per year, are you?"

"Of course not." The system said: "How can a housekeeping service team be so expensive? Not 100 million, just 10 million a year is enough. The whole team, 30 people packed. Enough to match the host's identity."

"Ten million a year?"

Qiu Shui said goodbye manually.

"Host, are you really not going to consider this? You are spending four million per month in Nioufu now. If you add another six million, you can enjoy the ultimate service. And the team inside will be equipped with high-level chefs, so the host doesn't have to go out to eat all the time."

Qiu Shui chuckled and said, "What I lack is a chef? What I lack is the ten million."

Now, it is impossible to invest all of his savings of more than 10 billion yuan into that plan. It must leave several hundred million.

However, if the service team mentioned in the system is really packaged, it will cost 120 million yuan a year. It's simply an enlarged version of a money-eating beast.

Qiu Shui feels that he is just an ordinary person, does he deserve it?

He doesn't deserve it.

Therefore, the final result is that those people in Nioufu remain as they are.

Qiu Shui felt that this was the best arrangement from God (actually it was just miserliness).

Of course, the Go world was also calm that night.

What happened in the sports center building that morning quickly spread like wildfire in the Chinese Go circle.

After all, Bobby was too arrogant at that time.

More importantly, after Bobby came to China, he defeated many chess players.

His talent in Go seems to be even better than Fang Wen and Guo Ruoxi.

Qiu Shui had already made these harsh words during the day. Hope to meet Bobby.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Shui really met him.

In the afternoon, the match list was announced.

So, everyone knows that Qiu Shui will face Bobby tomorrow.

Qingyuan Private Restaurant.

Yu Shiyuan is a professional Go player of 6th dan.

He will also participate in the competition tomorrow.

The professional Go circle is actually not that big.

Basically, those chess players who are familiar to each other have their own communication group.

Therefore, Yu Shiyuan also got the news that Qiu Shui was going to compete with Bobby.

"It's him again? It seems like he hasn't learned his lesson enough!"

Yu Shiyuan snorted coldly.

He also knew about the news that Bobby had been dominating the Chinese Go circle recently.

But I didn't expect that Bobby would dare to speak so arrogantly in the sports center building.

Even Lou Yuchen is no match for Qiu Shui, so what is a Poppy?

After hearing this, Yu Shiyuan just thought it was a joke.

In a chess hall on the other side.

Zhang Jiatai, who is also a professional sixth-dan, also heard the news.

He also knew that Bobby had defeated many players in the Chinese Go circle in recent times.

Bobby's attitude is very arrogant, and Zhang Jiatai actually wants to reduce his prestige in the game.

Unexpectedly, someone told him that Bobby was going to compete against Qiu Shui, the number one amateur.

Because the promotion tournament is coming soon, Zhang Jiatai has been practicing chess in seclusion recently.

However, he also knew that Qiu Shui participated in the Hualong Cup and won first place.

But Zhang Jiatai, like other chess players, thought that it was nothing great for Qiu Shui to get the first place in the preliminaries.

"Tomorrow, Qiu Shui will go down with Bobby?"

Duan Hongjie, a professional 5th dan, snorted, "That's right, there will be something interesting to watch tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have a match tomorrow and can't watch the live broadcast. I can only watch the replay."

Zhang Jiatai said, "I remember you said that Bobby defeated a professional 7th dan chess player?"

"It's true that they won, but that was because the player just had a cold and was not in good shape at all." Duan Hongjie sneered, "That Bobby won unfairly."

"Then how can you be sure that Qiu Shui can beat Bobby? Although Qiu Shui beat Bao Zhan, Bobby's chess ability is at least five dan."

That’s right, Zhang Jiatai just doesn’t think highly of Qiu Shui.

Although Poppy and Baozhan are both professional second and fifth dan.

Therefore, Zhang Jiatai really didn’t think Qiu Shui could defeat Bobby.

However, Duan Hongjie looked at Zhang Jiatai with strange eyes, "Jiatai, didn't you watch Qiu Shui's two matches? Qiu Shui's opponent in the second match was a professional third-dan from overseas."

Zhang Jiatai raised his eyes, "So what?"

Duan Hongjie held his forehead helplessly and said, "Forget it, you should come and see for yourself."

As he spoke, Duan Hongjie found the video of the competition between Qiu Shui and Bao Zhan and showed it to Zhang Jiatai.

After watching the game, Zhang Jiatai was stunned.

He was not stunned by Qiu Shui's chess skills, but by Qiu Shui's familiar style of play.

"This style of chess is so familiar."

Duan Hongjie touched his chin and said, "It is indeed quite familiar. When I first saw it, I felt as if I had seen it somewhere before."

The two of them were thinking hard while watching the game video.

Suddenly, Zhang Jiatai seemed to think of something and his pupils contracted.

He jumped up from his chair.

"Could it be him?"

Duan Hongjie was startled by Zhang Jiatai's sudden excitement.

"who?"

The next morning.

Qiu Shui went out on his beloved electric scooter.

As usual, Qiu Shui was followed by five bodyguards.

However, when Qiu Shui went out, he found that there were more than a dozen bodyguards following him.

He asked the system in some surprise, "System dad, as I remember, there are five bodyguards on duty every day? Why do we seem to have too many bodyguards today?"

System: "Who told the host that there are five bodyguards on duty every day?"

Qiu Shui: "Isn't it? There are 30 bodyguards in total, and they work in 5 shifts every day!"

The system rolled its eyes. "How is that possible? Why hire so many bodyguards? Although they are divided into 6 groups, one group will protect the host closely every day. But that is limited to close combat. The rest of the bodyguards are protecting the host's safety in secret."

Is that so?

Qiu Shui really doesn’t know.

He always thought that there were only five bodyguards protecting him every day.

Originally there was protection in the dark.

Qiu Shui thought of his bodyguards, and there seemed to be quite a few with complicated identities.

So, does this so-called secretly have other meanings?

Soon, Qiu Shui arrived at the sports center building.

As expected, on roads like this in Kyoto, electric scooters are faster.

Qiu Shui still kept a low profile and went directly into the sports center building from the underground parking lot.

Many of the chess players participating in the competition today arrived very early.

Everyone was talking about what happened yesterday.

When Qiu Shui walked into the competition venue, everyone looked at him at the same time.

The competition venue suddenly fell silent.

Qiu Shui had already gotten used to such looks, so when he walked in, he went straight to his own competition table.

"Qiu Shui."

A familiar male voice broke the silence.

When Qiu Shui heard someone calling his name, he turned around and saw Yu Shiyuan with a smile on his face.

"What a coincidence?" Qiu Shui also greeted him with a smile.

"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence." Yu Shiyuan said, "Don't show mercy in the competition later."

"Yes."

This time, Qiu Shui really doesn't intend to show mercy.

Qiu Shui looked around and found that except for Yu Shiyuan, all other faces were unfamiliar.

The new players joining the competition today are some of the fifth and sixth dan players.

Players with low ranks and weak chess skills have basically been eliminated.

But in addition to Yu Shiyuan, Qiu Shui also noticed a strange gaze.

The man stared at him intently, with an expression of hesitation and confusion on his face. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

But the face was unfamiliar, so Qiu Shui didn't pay much attention to it.

Duan Hongjie had been thinking about what Zhang Jiatai said all morning.

Last night, after watching Qiu Shui's game video, Zhang Jiatai actually said that Qiu Shui might be the mysterious chess player, Qiu Feng Sao Luo Ye, who appeared on Youqi Go website some time ago.

It would have been better if Zhang Jiatai didn't say anything. Once he said it, Duan Hongjie also discovered it.

The two of them spent the entire night studying the video of Qiu Shui's two games.

I found that their chess styles are indeed similar.

However, Qiu Shui’s chess skills are more fierce than the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

However, when fighting against Bao Zhan, he set up a trap that Qiu Feng Sao Luo Ye had also used.

Zhang Jiatai has been wanting to play chess with Qiu Feng Sao Luo Ye for some time now.

I send game invitations to Qiufengsaoluye every day.

The results were all in vain.

During this period of time, the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves and there was no chess or go website.

Of course, based on just two games of chess, it is impossible to confirm that autumn water is the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

Therefore, Zhang Jiatai asked Duan Hongjie, who came to the competition today, to test Qiu Shui.

However, Duan Hongjie's face was full of confusion.

How should I test this? Should I just go up and ask?

But he and Qiu Shui are not familiar with each other at all, so wouldn’t this be too rude?

However, after seeing Yu Shiyuan actually greet Qiu Shui and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, Duan Hongjie quietly went to find Yu Shiyuan.
