A few days before the qualifying tournament, Liang Zitao returned to Shanghai.
After Bai Jing came to Renwang Mansion, Liang Zitao felt that Lou Yuchen's attitude towards him had inexplicably become worse.
Before returning to Shanghai, Liang Zitao was still upset that Lou Yuchen forgot his friends for the sake of beauty.
Qiu Shui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Even Lou Yuchen could see that Bai Jing's target was him.
Liang Zitao seemed to be blind. He even pushed his letter to Bai Jing.
I thought Liang Zitao was quite smart before, why is he so slow in this aspect?
At that time, Qiu Shui also asked Lou Yuchen why he didn't explain the matter clearly to Liang Zitao.
After all, Qiu Shui thought Liang Zitao seemed to be really interested in Bai Jing.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so enthusiastic towards Bai Jing.
As a result, Lou Yuchen said that it would be good to let Liang Zitao learn a lesson.
So that he won’t be involved in any extramarital affairs.
Qiu Shui had not known Liang Zitao for long, so she actually didn't know about Liang Zitao's previous romantic affairs.
Anyway, Liang Zitao is Lou Yuchen's friend, since Lou Yuchen said so. Qiu Shui was too lazy to care.
However, Bai Jing, after adding him in her circle of friends, showed concern for him.
Qiu Shui would always just politely reply with one or two words and then nothing else.
But Bai Jing never gets tired of it.
Since Bai Jing didn't say anything explicitly, Qiu Shui couldn't reject her directly.
After Liang Zitao left, Qiu Shui didn't feel anything unusual except that the house became a little quieter.
That’s right, home.
Now there are Fu Bo and Lou Yuchen in Renwang Palace. Qiu Shui also moved his parents' photos and other things to Renwang Palace.
For Qiu Shui, this is home.
Because I live in Niwangfu, the villa in Jinyue Bay is temporarily vacant.
Because the villa was a system reward, it cannot be bought or sold, but it can be rented out.
But Qiu Shui thought that Lou Yuchen's house was still in Jinyue Bay. In order to get closer to Lou Yuchen, Qiu Shui decided not to rent out the house.
In this way, when Lou Yuchen returns to Jinyue Bay, he will have a reason to go back and live there with him.
As for the other house that Qiu Shui bought before, Qiu Shui had no plans to sell it or rent it out.
That house is Qiu Shui's retreat.
If the system task is not completed later, the system will take back all the rewards. He still has a house to live in and doesn't have to live on the streets.
Of course, with his current savings, he doesn't have to live on the streets.
However, having a house makes me feel more at ease. This is probably what the Chinese people think.
Originally, Lou Yuchen only said that he would stay at Qiu Shui's place for a few days.
As a result, in order to monitor Qiu Shui's diet, he planned to stay in Renwang Palace until returning to the Magic City.
Qiu Shui was both happy and painful.
The good thing is that I can live with Lou Yuchen for a while.
The painful thing is that Lou Yuchen really keeps a close eye on him.
We agreed to drink porridge, so there is definitely no dry rice.
These days, Qiu Shui has been drinking various kinds of porridge.
Such as chicken porridge, fish porridge, and pork porridge.
Every day, Lou Yuchen and Uncle Fu cook for each other and come up with different ways to make porridge for him.
The porridge was very light, and Qiu Shui ate so much that his mouth was dry.
After much difficulty, I made it to the follow-up visit and got the doctor's approval. Qiu Shui was finally freed from the porridge and could eat some light meals.
The day after the follow-up visit was the day of the qualifying tournament.
The professional Go ranking tournament is held in a different place every year.
This year's professional Go ranking tournament was held at the Kyoto Go Institute.
All participating chess players have come to Kyoto from all over the country in the past few days.
So Kyoto has started to become lively recently.
Although Qiu Shui won the Hualong Cup, that was after he registered for the qualifying tournament.
Therefore, he cannot enter the finals directly and still needs to participate in the preliminary round of the adult men's group of the Dan Ranking Tournament.
Some of Qiu Shui's powerful bodyguards have already become temporary staff for this qualifying tournament.
Sneaking into the Dan-rank tournament venue was to protect Qiu Shui's safety.
The chess academy is not far from Nioufu where Qiu Shui lives, so Qiu Shui does not have to live near the chess academy for the competition. You can go home directly.
On the day of the preliminary round of the Dan Ranking Tournament, Lou Yuchen originally wanted to accompany Qiu Shui to participate in the competition. But Qiu Shui rejected him.
After all, there are quite a few people participating in the preliminary round of the professional chess ranking competition this time, and Lou Yuchen is a chess god. If I accompany him to participate in the competition, it will definitely cause a sensation.
Maybe there will be people watching.
However, Qiu Shui did not expect that when he won the Hualong Cup championship, he would also become a celebrity in the Go world.
Therefore, when he appeared on the field, it caused a sensation.
The Go ranking tournament is divided into four groups.
Youth men's group, youth women's group, adult men's group and adult women's group.
Qiu Shui is 23 years old this year, so he is going to participate in the adult men's competition.
Because of the rapid development of Go in the past two years, more and more people are participating in the ranking tournament. China is also vigorously cultivating Go players, so the number of participants in the adult group has been relaxed.
This year, the number of participants in the adult men's group reached two thousand.
Although the number of participants has been relaxed, in the end, only 10 people will be able to successfully qualify.
Although the number of participants in the adult women's group was much smaller than that in the men's group, it still reached more than 800 people. In the end, only four people were able to successfully qualify as a professional player.
The Go ranking tournament is a competition where thousands of troops try to cross a single-plank bridge.
The single-plank bridge is too narrow and can accommodate too few people.
Because there are so many participants, the adult competition is divided into preliminaries and finals.
For the youth group, there are preliminaries and main competitions.
The preliminaries for the adult and youth groups were held on the same day.
Therefore, when Qiu Shui appeared on the field, he truly felt what it meant to be the center of attention.
From the moment he got off the car and walked into the race, he attracted 100% of the attention along the way.
The preliminaries for the adult men's and women's groups are held at the same venue.
The competition venue is very large and can accommodate thousands of people participating in the competition at the same time.
The preliminaries for the youth boys and girls groups will be held at the venue next door.
However, after Qiu Shui entered the competition field, not only the people in his own competition field stared at him. Even the teenagers from the competition venue next door came over to watch.
However, those people did not dare to get too close to Qiu Shui. They just watched from a distance and talked about it.
"He is Qiu Shui, the champion of the Hualong Cup."
"Oh my god, he actually participated in the preliminaries. With his ability, shouldn't he be able to enter the finals directly?"
"The Hualong Cup finals will only start after the registration for the preliminary rounds of the Dan Tournament ends. So even if he wins the Hualong Cup, he still has to participate in the preliminary rounds."
"I have watched videos of all his matches, and he is really good at chess. I really envy his opponents for being able to play chess with him."
"Yes, it's worth being happy to be able to play chess with such a master, even if I lose."
"With your level, you want to play chess with him? You are dreaming."
"By the way, do you think his style of play is very similar to that of a player on the Youqi Go website?"
"Are you talking about that bullying maniac, the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves?"
"Yes, it's like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Qiu Shui's chess style is so similar to his."
"Is it possible that they are the same person? I heard before that Qiu Shui is the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves."
"Impossible?"
"How can it be impossible? There are clues. Autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and autumn water. Both names have the word autumn in them."
"Actually, there's no need to guess like this. Qiu Shui is right here. Why don't you just go up and ask him?"
"Go up and ask directly? Isn't that a good idea? I heard that he is a rich second-generation and has a very arrogant personality. Most people ignore him."
Many people were pushing and shoving, and finally, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old was pushed out. Feeling somewhat uneasy, he walked cautiously to Qiu Shui's side.
Qiu Shui is a person who has undergone systematic training.
Even under the gaze of thousands of people, he was still able to remain calm and composed.
"Hello... Hello..."
The young man walked up to Qiu Shui and mustered up the courage to greet him.
However, his trembling voice betrayed his nervousness.
"Hello." Qiu Shui nodded lightly in response.
The young man was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Qiu Shui to respond to him.
Because many people around him said that Qiu Shui thought he was very arrogant. During the Hualong Cup competition, I always played alone.
However, people in the Go community do not think there is anything wrong with Qiu Shui's behavior.
It's normal for him to be a little arrogant since he is so powerful.
If it were someone else, their tail would probably be up in the air.
"Is there anything wrong?" Qiu Shui asked calmly, looking at the nervous young man in front of him.
But in my heart I was asking the system, "System, do I look that scary? Why is he so afraid of me?"
System: "The host is very good-looking. Perhaps the host is too good, so this human feels ashamed in front of the host."
So that's how it is. Qiu Shui nodded secretly and understood.
"Well, I want to ask, do you know the Autumn Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves on the Go website?"
The young man looked at Qiu Shui with eyes full of anticipation.
Qiu Shui did not disappoint him and nodded, "I know, I am."
When the boy heard this, he jumped up with excitement.
"Really? Great, I...I played chess with you online before. My nickname was 'Erhazi', do you remember?"
"Sorry, there are too many people who have played chess with me." Qiu Shui really had no impression of anyone, unless he was as persistent as Zhang Jiatai, or someone who was very powerful.
Otherwise, with so many people, he really couldn’t remember them all.
"It doesn't matter. There are so many people who want to play chess with you. It's normal that you can't remember me." The boy gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully: "Well, I'm your fan. Can you add me as a friend?"
After saying that, the young man was afraid that Qiu Shui might misunderstand him, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, I just want to add you as a friend on the Youqi Go website, not a Weixin friend."
Qiu Shui just glanced at him indifferently, picked up the phone, and started playing with it without saying anything.
The young man waited for half a minute, and when he saw that Qiu Shui didn't respond, he thought Qiu Shui refused.
I feel a little lost.
Think about it, I'm not even a professional chess player, Qiu Shui is so good at chess, he definitely wouldn't want to play chess with rookies like them.
Just when the young man was about to leave in disappointment, he heard Qiu Shui say, "Okay."
"What?" The boy didn't respond.
Qiu Shui pointed the phone screen at the boy and said, "I have accepted your friend request. Sorry, there were too many friend requests and it took me a while to find you."
The boy suddenly felt like fireworks were exploding in his head.
It feels like pie in the sky, or like winning the lottery.
"After the preliminary round, I'll make an appointment for the next round with you."
Qiu Shui thought the little fan in front of him was quite cute.
It’s just a game of chess, it doesn’t matter who you play with. Qiu Shui felt very happy to fulfill the wish of his little fan.
"Really?" The boy was so excited that he was at a loss for words. "Thank you, thank you. By the way, my name is Gao Yu, Gao means high and low, and Yu means universe."
Qiu Shui also introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Qiu Shui, Qiu for autumn wind, Shui for rain."
"Thank you, thank you."
After the young man bowed to Qiu Shui, he actually left with his hands and feet together.
Qiu Shui couldn't help laughing when he saw the young man's clumsy appearance.
People around saw that Qiu Shui actually added the young boy as a friend and even invited him to play chess together.
I instantly felt envious and jealous.
Just when they were about to step forward, the referee of the match arrived.
Seeing that the stadium was in chaos, he immediately maintained order in the stadium.
All the teenagers from the youth group competition field next door were driven back.
The area around Qiu Shui finally became quiet.
Soon, the person sitting opposite Qiu Shui arrived.
The visitor was a young man of about 27 or 28 years old.
When he saw that his opponent was Qiu Shui, he completely collapsed.
With tears in his eyes, he said to Qiu Shui: "This is my fifth time participating in the Dan Tournament. In the previous times, I only met strong chess players in the main tournament. I didn't expect that I would meet you in the first game this time. I am so unlucky."
Even though he would lose, the young man still tried his best to finish the game.
However, this game of chess made him question his life.
After the 40th move, he just resigned and admitted defeat.
Looking at the young man with tears in his eyes, Qiu Shui shrugged and could only say sorry silently.
