"The son of the previous chess god, Yusuke Ichiro, competed with the previous chess god. It confirmed the gap between the chess god and his son."
"Yusuke Ichiro, who boasted that he would win the Chess God Cup, was taught a lesson by the previous Chess God."
"The chess god is still the chess god, and the son of the chess god is just the son of the chess god after all."
The above are the news headlines that appeared quickly after the match between Lou Yuchen and Yusuke Ichiro ended.
Qiu Shui couldn't help but laugh when he saw the headlines in these media.
"The authors who wrote these headlines have some of the same flavor as those authors in China."
Usually, the headlines of these foreign news are not fancy.
However, this time the title really has a Chinese flavor.
Qiu Shui smiled and said to Lou Yuchen, "How's it going? How do you feel about beating the son of the last chess god?"
Lou Yuchen frowned and said seriously: "He is far worse than his father."
This is far from enough, not only in terms of chess skills, but also in terms of chess character.
After all, people who truly love Go will not do things like spending high prices to blatantly poach players from other teams during the competition.
And they poached players before the team competition.
That seemed particularly despicable.
"It seems that you have a good impression of Yusuke Yamada?"
From Lou Yuchen's tone, Qiu Shui could tell that Lou Yuchen admired Yusuke Yamada very much.
Lou Yuchen was silent for a moment, and commented: "He is a respectable opponent."
Before Qiu Shui appeared, Yusuke Yamada was considered by Lou Yuchen to be his greatest rival in this life.
Although, Yusuke Yamada is a chess player from Sakura Country.
Due to historical reasons, Chinese people don't have a very good impression of people from the Land of the Sakura.
However, Yusuke Yamada is indeed a very qualified and admirable professional chess player.
Qiusui only knew Yusuke Yamada, but didn't know much about him.
However, Qiu Shui felt that the person who could be recognized by Lou Yuchen should not be wrong.
Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen on this side were talking about Yusuke Yamada, while Yusuke Ichiro on the other side also knelt in front of Yusuke Yamada.
Yusuke Yamada's opponent today is a 9th-dan chess player from the United States.
Basically, after Lou Yuchen's match with Yusuke Ichiro ended, his match with the American 9th-dan chess player also ended.
"I'm sorry, father. I was careless this time."
Yusuke Ichiro knelt in front of his father and lowered his head to admit his mistake.
He and Lou Yuchen didn't even make it to the end and lost in the middle of the game.
Before the game, he even said that he would defeat Lou Yuchen.
Win this year's Chess God Cup championship.
This is such a huge loss of face.
"Are you just careless? You still don't understand why you lost."
Yusuke Yamada's face was filled with disappointment. "I agreed with your aggressive poaching of chess players from China before."
"But since you poached them, why did you treat those professional chess players like this? Even if they are professional chess players from China, they are still professional chess players. Your treatment of them is tantamount to humiliating us professional chess players. You disappoint me so much."
At the beginning, when Yusuke Yamada knew that his son was poaching people, he agreed.
It can even be said that he also made suggestions.
After all, their cooperative needs to develop in China.
They also need a championship to prove themselves.
However, Yusuke Ichiro shouldn't have poached players during the game.
Doing this is simply corrupting one's character.
This was something that Yusuke Yamada had not expected.
Finally, the people were dug up. But because he didn't win the championship, he threw those chess players aside.
None of the things promised previously have been fulfilled.
I heard that some chess players in China have already made a fuss about this matter.
But he was suppressed by Yusuke Ichiro.
It was not until they arrived in the United States that the two professional chess players from China who joined the chess club made the matter public.
Yusuke Yamada just found out.
"Father."
Yusuke Ichiro had never heard such disappointment from his father.
Yusuke Yamada said sternly, "I asked you to develop a cooperative in China so that we could train more excellent chess players in our Sakura Country. However, I didn't expect that you would be infected with the evil of those despicable businessmen. The reason why you lost today is that, in your heart, Go no longer exists. Your chess skills are even declining."
"Impossible. Before I came here, I beat your father."
Yusuke Ichiro does not admit that his chess skills have declined.
"Stupid, don't you understand yet? You actually still think that you really beat me?"
Even at this point, his own son still believed that he had really defeated him with his own strength.
Yusuke Yamada no longer wanted to pay attention to this stupid son.
He stood up directly, waved his sleeves, and turned away.
Yusuke Ichiro was so depressed that he sat on the ground.
So, he never beat his father at all.
Was that just his father wanting him to win?
Therefore, he has always felt that he has reached the level of top chess players. Is it fake too?
At this time, outside, there were overwhelming reports about how Yusuke Ichiro was severely slapped in the face by Lou Yuchen after he boasted.
The night owls in China even set off fireworks to celebrate.
"Oh my god, I thought Yusuke Ichiro was awesome. I didn't expect this to be the case?"
"Honestly, at first, when I saw Lou Shen was about to lose, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I didn't expect that there would be such a big reversal."
"What big twist? That's called letting a wolf into the house, understand?"
"The elementary school students above, if you fail Chinese, don't come out and expose yourself. What do you mean by inviting a wolf into the house? That's called luring the enemy deep into your territory. Do you understand?"
"As expected of a chess god, this slap in the face makes me feel so good."
"It's just very strange. The style of play in that game doesn't seem like the style of a chess god."
"Indeed, the chess god's style of play has always been very steady. That's not the case. Do you think the chess god's style of play looks familiar?"
"The person above, I have wanted to say this for a long time. If you want to know the reason, please go to the Hualong Cup finals."
"Oh my god. I remember now. Guys, the chess god's style of play is exactly the same as that of the champion of the Hualong Cup."
"Have you just realized it now? The champion of the Hualong Cup and the chess god are said to be boyfriends."
"Boyfriend? That must be fake. Wasn't that champion bought? I heard he was eliminated in the third round?"
"He was eliminated because he didn't come to the competition. He didn't lose the competition. I've seen him play chess, and he's very strong. There's a rumor that his chess is better than that of the chess god."
"Better than the chess god, come on. Can you please use some brains when you speak upstairs? The chess god is the strongest chess player in the world."
…
Lou Yuchen actually has quite a lot of fans.
Most of the people who learn and know how to play Go are his fans.
Therefore, even if a small number of professional chess players revealed some inside information.
But those fans just didn't believe it.
They didn't believe that Qiu Shui was Lou Yuchen's boyfriend.
I also don’t believe that Qiu Shui’s chess skills are better than Lou Yuchen’s.
The incident of Yusuke Ichiro being slapped in the face has become a hot topic in the competition in recent days.
The heat has never gone down.
I heard that Yusuke Ichiro was so ashamed that he dared not go out.
Qiu Shui felt that he was not feeling ashamed, but was probably feeling shocked.
Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao went out to compete, and Qiu Shui, who was bored, studied in the system space to earn some extra money.
While studying the matter of Archibald's treasure.
After all, the treasure is so tempting.
Before, he had focused only on Archibald’s diary.
Later he remembered that he had also obtained a suicide note from Archibald.
I almost forgot the existence of this suicide note.
So Qiu Shui took out Archibald's suicide note and read it again.
I want to see what he wrote.
Could it be related to the clues to the treasure?
But when he took out the so-called suicide note and read it, Qiu Shui felt something was wrong.
"What does this mean? Is this a purchase order?"
Qiu Shui widened his eyes and looked at the "suicide note" in his hand.
This suicide note was left by Archibald to his destined descendant.
The suicide note recorded in detail what the treasure left behind by Archibald was.
The number is still very clear.
"silk?"
Wow, Qiu Shui didn't expect that the so-called treasure left by Archibald was actually silk.
Moreover, it was a large amount of silk and tea.
And tea?
"Shouldn't it be gold antiques? How could it be silk and tea?"
Qiu Shui was a little dumbfounded.
He even suspected whether the suicide note drawn by the system was fake.
"How could this system give the host something fake? This suicide note is real. More than 400 years ago, the most valuable things in the West were silk, tea and porcelain."
"Yes, silk was a very valuable commodity in ancient times."
Qiu Shui then remembered that their Chinese country had opened up the Silk Road in ancient times.
In ancient China, only high-ranking officials and nobles could wear silk.
Poor people basically wore linen clothes. Some people can't even afford to wear linen clothes.
In the West, silk, which is brightly colored and soft to the touch, is more precious than gold.
Besides, there was a mountain of gold in the country where Archibald was at that time.
For their country at that time, gold was the least scarce thing.
On the contrary, silk, tea, and porcelain are.
"If it's really just silk and tea, then these treasures are just that."
Because it is more than four hundred years old, silk will definitely oxidize once it comes into contact with air.
Tea, on the other hand, is still edible as long as it is properly stored.
But after all, it has been so many years. Whether the tea that has been stored for so many years can be eaten is one thing, but whether it tastes good is another.
"Archibald is too clever to have hidden only these things."
"He also wanted to return to China in the future to continue his career as a multinational businessman. It was impossible for him not to leave gold behind. After all, gold was a hard currency in China at that time."
But the suicide note did not mention this. Perhaps, to him, gold was not as precious as silk and tea.
Perhaps he hid the gold somewhere else?
After all, many Western countries were in the midst of war at that time. It was impossible for Archibald, a cunning fox, to really hide everything in one place, right?
A cunning rabbit has three burrows.
The rabbit has three more nests.
Besides, it was Archibald who was more cunning than a rabbit.
Moreover, according to the diary, there was a traitor in Archibald's home at that time.
Archibald was poisoned directly.
So would Archibald really be stupid enough to leave specific information about the treasure in his suicide note?
Or, this suicide note was actually meant to confuse the traitor.
Archibald kept a false diary.
At the same time, he was also afraid that the real diary would fall into the hands of the traitor.
So, another suicide note was left behind.
The treasures revealed were only silk and tea. This is to prevent the traitor from getting the real diary.
At that time, these things were of course more valuable than gold.
Gold, on the other hand, is not that valuable to them.
However, for Archibald, who owns merchant ships, trading channels, and has the support of the Niofu, gold is the most important treasure.
As long as he had gold, he could own the silk and tea again.
The same is true for his descendants.
Therefore, Qiu Shui guessed that Archibald might have hidden the gold in another place.
But where is it hidden?
Given Archibald's situation at the time, no place other than his own territory was safe.
etc.
Archibald had been to China before his death.
He also went to find the heir to the then Renwang Palace.
At that time, Archibald had a life-long friendship with the heir of the Ninohfu.
And Archibald went to the Ninwang Palace for the last time and left some words for the heir of the Ninwang Palace.
If he or his descendants took his keepsake to Niou Palace, he hoped that the heir of Niou Palace would return his things.
His stuff?
The things mentioned in the diary may not be the painting and the key.
Perhaps what Archibald was talking about was gold.
Archibald's gold was left in Nioufu?
Is this possible?
When Qiu Shui thought of this, he felt his breathing quicken.
Stay calm, you must stay calm.
This is just his guess and may not be true.
But the more Qiu Shui thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my guess was right.
After all, Archibald had been exploited once by the previous king.
He would have thought that other people would also pay attention to him.
Therefore, it is safest to hide things in a place where others can't think of them and can't get to them.
Qiu Shui picked up the necklace that looked like a crown and scepter again.
No, that should be the key.
From the time he saw the diary, it only mentioned the treasure left by Archibald and information about how to find it.
This key should be the key to open the so-called treasure.
So, in fact, as long as you find the portrait, it is basically easy to find the treasure. After all, the information about the treasure was not difficult for those people at that time.
After all, the portrait is a bit abstract. But anyone who is a member of the Archibald family should know where it is at a glance.
With this key, getting the treasure would be a piece of cake.
Archibald couldn't be that stupid.
"System, do you think my guess makes sense?"
Qiu Shui asked the system in his head.
"Ah? How would this system know that? Anyway, this system has given you everything. You can figure it out on your own."
Anyway, the system will never give Qiu Shui any hints.
However, after hearing what the system said, Qiu Shui smiled.
If his guess was wrong, the system would surely laugh at him.
Some might even ask how could he be so stupid.
But the system did not deny it, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Qiu Shui held his forehead and laughed out loud.
"why are you laughing?"
The system didn't understand why the host suddenly laughed.
Qiu Shui said: "System dad, thank you!"
"Ah? Why are you thanking this system? Did the host give you a fever?"
No way, could it be that the host’s brain is burned out?
No, it's so hard to break it like this, what will happen if it's gone?
"What are you talking about? You're the one with a fever." Qiu Shui retorted, "Don't think I don't know that you're saying bad things about me in your heart."
Qiu Shui didn't need to guess, as soon as he saw the expression on the system's face he knew that it definitely didn't have good intentions for him.
"No way, host, don't wrongly accuse this system. This system is not that kind of ruler."
The little system wanted to put his hands on his waist, but found that he had no waist, only a round body.
Then he crossed his arms across his chest awkwardly and argued anxiously.
He seems very angry.
"Okay, you're the best. You're the best."
Qiu Shui was too lazy to argue with the system.
After confirming what he had just thought of, Qiu Shui felt extremely lucky that Liang Zitao's friend had returned to China.
Otherwise, he would really foolishly follow the instructions in the diary to look for some treasure.
It is estimated that the Archibald family will not let him go easily.
Even if he really only got oxidized silk and tea at that time, the Archibald family would not believe it.
The bodyguard recently said that there seemed to be someone always monitoring the hotel.
After those chess players checked out, a lot of distinguished guests suddenly moved into the hotel.
I think those should be the Archibald family.
What’s strange is that it took so long for Archibald’s Achina to go back after she made those harsh words that day.
There doesn't seem to be any action.
The Archibald family did nothing except sending people to keep an eye on him.
I guess they knew he was a fat sheep, and they were only going to slaughter him when he was no longer of any use.
Just as I was thinking about this, someone from Archibald Auctions suddenly called me.
"Hold the auction in advance?"
Qiu Shui raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Mr. Qiu, I'm sorry, because the auction time we set earlier may face heavy snowfall."
"Therefore, for the safety of all our valued customers, our auction house has decided to hold the auction in advance."
"when?"
Qiu Shui didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
If it is really due to irresistible reasons such as weather, there is nothing we can do.
But if it's due to something else, then you should pay attention.
Therefore, Qiu Shui did not completely believe what the person on the phone said.
"The date has been moved up to the 16th. The auction will start at 10 a.m. and will last for four hours. Mr. Qiu is welcome to come."
After hanging up the call, Qiu Shui's face darkened.
Then he immediately ordered his bodyguard to check the weather problem.
Let's see if there is any problem with the weather on the day of the auction.
Soon, the bodyguard found out.
"Master, according to the information we received, there is indeed a possibility of a heavy snowstorm that day."
Qiu Shui said: "Okay, I understand."
Qiu Shui didn't expect that this was actually true.
If it's true, then it's okay.
It’s better to move it forward, it’s only four days earlier.
It's not a big problem.
Moreover, he could go to watch Lou Yuchen's final at that time.
After all, Qiu Shui believed that Lou Yuchen and Xiongsuke Yamada would definitely meet in the finals.
Not only Qiu Shui thought so, others thought so too.
As a result, some things are just so unexpected.
Lou Yuchen and Yusuke Yamada met in advance.
Just before the final.
Also competing at the same time was Liang Zitao vs. former Chinese celebrity Jiang Ruoxing.
Jiang Ruoxing was a former celebrity in China. He lost to Lou Yuchen in this year's competition, so the title of celebrity was taken away by Lou Yuchen.
However, although Jiang Ruoxing lost the title of celebrity, he got the title of chess king.
After all, his chess skills are not weak.
However, he didn’t expect that he would actually confront Liang Zitao.
Jiang Ruoxing originally thought that he would face Lou Yuchen or Yusuke Yamada.
They all thought that Yusuke Yamada would meet Lou Yuchen in the final.
Unexpectedly, the two met before the finals.
What Qiu Shui didn't expect was that the auction of Archibald was actually announced earlier.
The auction was held on the day when Lou Yuchen and Yusuke Yamada competed.
Qiu Shui didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
The duel between Lou Yuchen and Yusuke Yamada can be said to be the world's top Go duel.
Qiu Shui wants to watch the live broadcast.
But if you go to an auction.
You definitely can’t watch the live broadcast.
After all, he had a lot of things to auction.
At the same time, Qiu Shui was also very fortunate.
At that time, he did not put the money that Long Teng and others gave him to participate in the auction into his own account.
Instead, it was directly placed under Lou Yuchen's name.
Of course, the 150 billion auction funds are definitely not enough.
After all, even the price of those four animal heads is already astronomical.
What's more, there is also an imperial seal.
The International Go God Cup, an absolute pinnacle competition, has attracted worldwide attention.
And secretly, the auction held by the Archibald family also attracted the attention of the upper class people all over the world.
Those who are invited to participate in this auction are the top people from all over the world.
Moreover, although Archibald released many important Chinese cultural relics this time, some important cultural relics from other countries were also released at this Archibald auction.
So, after sending Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao to the competition venue early in the morning, Qiu Shui went directly to the auction venue.
This Archibald auction is unprecedented.
After all, the items being auctioned this time are truly too astonishing.
The guests who were invited were either rich or noble.
Even princes from several countries came to attend the auction.
Therefore, there is a lot of security at this auction.
The car Qiu Shui was riding in was just an ordinary sedan.
The cars bought at the auto show have already been shipped to China.
It’s just that the custom-made car that cost billions of dollars hasn’t been completed yet.
At the entrance of the auction, there were many luxury cars.
At a glance, there is no car that costs less than 10 million Chinese yuan.
But, there was an ordinary black car parked at the door of the auction.
The ordinary car that appeared among a group of luxury cars instantly became the focus of the audience.
