When Qiu Shui heard the old man actually ask to play a game of chess with him, he was obviously stunned.
"In this study?" Qiu Shui asked.
"Yes, it's in this study." The old man looked around the study and said nostalgically, "It's exactly the same as before I left. Nothing has changed. I have no regrets about being able to play a game of chess with you here."
Qiu Shui took a deep breath and said, "You know that with my current chess skills, I can't beat you."
"I've told you before that no one can predict the outcome of a game that hasn't been played yet." The old man's eyes were sharp. "If you still want to get the energy tank and save the small system, I can only agree to play a game of chess. Let me remind you that the advanced simulation robot can only save the small system program for 10 days."
10 days?
Qiu Shui was still thinking that even if he lost the game, he could still think of another way.
I didn't expect there was a time limit.
In 10 days, he could gather enough funds to buy enough gold by giving away everything he had now.
But even if he mobilized all his connections and bought enough gold.
Such a large transaction volume will definitely alert the authorities.
Therefore, this method is very risky.
In comparison, playing chess with the old man is more convenient. And it doesn't cost anything.
However, Qiu Shui knew that he was not good enough to beat the old man at chess.
At this moment, the system task program, which had been silent all the time, suddenly rang.
A voice without any emotion rang in Qiu Shui's mind.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering the show-off wealth mission. Please agree to Li Feng's (Li Chaoyang) chess game and win the game. If the mission is completed, you will be rewarded with a lucky draw. If the mission fails, all the host's deposits will be deducted."
Well, now we won’t give Qiu Shui any chance to hesitate.
The system directly helped him make the choice.
He had no choice but to agree now, so he had to go ahead with it.
After all, with his current chess skills, the chances of him defeating the old man are too small.
As for asking the old man to let go, this is not only an insult to the old man, but also an insult to Qiu Shui.
So, Qiu Shui didn’t even think about it.
It would be nice if there was some item that could instantly improve his chess skills.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.
Wait, it seems he had won a Go Master Peak Card in a lottery before.
There are 10 hours of usage time.
Thinking of this, Qiu Shui was ecstatic.
When he first won this, he had no intention of using it.
It's not that Qiu Shui is conceited.
In reality, he has never met anyone who is better at chess than him.
The only one whose chess skills are close to his are Lou Yuchen.
Although Lou Yuchen was catching up with him, he was also making progress.
Therefore, that Master Peak Card never had a chance to be used.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity has come now.
On the other side, Lou Yuchen was surprised to hear that Qiu Shui wanted to play chess with Li Feng.
"Play chess? Is my father-in-law good at chess?" Lou Yuchen asked Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu said with a nostalgic look on his face, "It should be very strong. After all, the young master's chess skills are so strong. There is no reason why the young old master's chess skills are so poor. They said that no one should disturb them, so please don't disturb them for the time being, Madam."
"Okay, I understand."
Although Lou Yuchen was not used to the title of Madam.
However, it is not excluded. Slowly, you will get used to it.
The quiet study is filled with the faint scent of tea.
Qiu Shui and the old man sat face to face.
In the middle is a chessboard carved from white jade.
The black and white chess pieces are also carved from white jade and black jade.
When the pieces fall, you can hear a crisp sound.
The white chess piece is Qiu Shui and the black chess piece is the old man.
The two of them had already made more than twenty moves at this time.
After Qiu Shui quickly placed a white chess piece, the old man glanced at him and said, "How come your chess skills have increased so much?"
"It feels like a long time since we last met. I haven't played chess with you for a long time. Can't my chess skills improve quickly?" Qiu Shui certainly couldn't say that he used the Grandmaster Peak Card.
"Heh, you think you can beat me like this? You're still far from it."
The old man picked up the black piece and, with a "pop", he moved directly to the corner.
This is preparation for attack.
Qiu Shui, who used the Master Peak Card, saw the flaw in the old man's attack at a glance.
Immediately place a piece on the upper left side of the black chess piece.
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then he quickly placed a piece on top of the white chess piece.
However, Qiu Shui placed another piece on the upper right side of the black chess piece.
The two sides exchanged moves for another ten moves.
The old man, who had originally looked relaxed, now had a frown on his face.
He looked up at Qiu Shui again and restrained his previous underestimation of the enemy.
He asked, "Did you use the Master Peak Card, kid?"
Qiu Shui was slightly stunned, "Do you know the Master Peak Card?"
The old man rolled his eyes, "What you said is not nonsense, the Grandmaster Peak Card copies my chess skills."
"What? It's your chess skills?" Qiu Shui opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect that this Grandmaster Peak Card copied the old man's chess skills.
If he uses the Grandmaster Peak Card to play chess with the old man, then isn't that equivalent to the old man playing chess with himself? Left hand vs right hand?
"Humph." The old man snorted coldly and mocked, "Don't think you can defeat me just by using the Grandmaster Peak Card. Your chess pieces are dead, and my chess pieces are alive. Dead chess pieces can never defeat living chess pieces."
With a "pop", the black chess piece fell, and the white chess piece, which had already reversed the situation and turned from defense to offense, was once again surrounded.
This move is like a stroke of genius.
Seeing this move, Qiu Shui couldn't help but sigh sincerely how amazing it was.
But Qiu Shui is not a vegetarian either.
He himself has fused the Master Card.
His own chess skills are also quite good.
It is impossible to watch your chess piece fall into danger.
So rescue was carried out immediately.
And, try to counterattack.
The two of them went back and forth.
With the help of the Master Peak Card, the two played for more than three hours but still could not determine the winner.
Lou Yuchen and Uncle Fu were outside. It had been such a long time, but neither of them came out yet.
I feel a little worried.
But he didn't bother them.
Qiu Shui had never played a game of chess for so long.
This game of chess was not only the longest one he had ever played, but also the most mentally taxing one.
The high level of concentration consumes a lot of physical energy.
Fortunately, Qiu Shui has the habit of exercising and can stick to it.
But the old man is different.
He is using a simulation robot at this time.
He doesn't get tired.
Moreover, his chess skills can always be maintained at the peak state.
Therefore, the further the game progresses, the more disadvantageous it becomes for Qiu Shui.
However, you can't be impatient in this kind of chess game.
One wrong step and you lose everything.
Therefore, Qiu Shui had to be extremely patient.
"Pa..." Qiu Shui thought for nearly ten minutes before carefully placing a move.
When the old man saw the piece he dropped, he pursed his lips and began to think.
In the absence of time limits, each player would think and calculate for a long time before making a careful move.
The further it went on, the longer it took for the two of them to make their moves.
Soon, another three hours passed.
Qiu Shui only had breakfast and didn't have lunch.
When your mind is highly concentrated, you don’t feel hungry.
The old man is just a simulation robot now, so he will not feel hungry at all.
Outside the yard.
Lou Yuchen looked at the closed door in the yard, frowned and asked Uncle Fu, "Hasn't he come out yet?"
Uncle Fu shook his head. "No, it's been almost seven hours now. It's almost time for dinner. If it continues like this, I won't be able to bear it."
Uncle Fu looked worried.
If the old man had not specifically instructed that no one was allowed to disturb, Uncle Fu would have long since been unable to resist bringing in the meal.
"It seems that their chess skills are equal. I have never seen Qiu Shui play a game of chess for such a long time."
Lou Yuchen tried hard to suppress the urge in his heart to rush in and watch the game.
He knew Qiu Shui's chess skills.
Since Li Feng has been playing chess with Qiu Shui for so long, their chess skills must be comparable.
Such a game between top players is what every chess player dreams of. Including Lou Yuchen.
There is a stove in the study.
But the temperature of the stove is not very high.
It can even be said that it is a bit low.
However, at this time, sweat was constantly coming out of Qiu Shui's forehead.
Sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the back of his left hand which was resting on his knees.
Qiu Shui's eyes were fixed on the chessboard, but the white chess piece in his right hand was not placed down for a long time.
The old man sitting opposite said expressionlessly: "Give up, you have no chance of survival."
However, Qiu Shui ignored him. His eyes were always looking for a place where he could give his white pieces a chance to survive.
"It's over, why don't you give up?" The old man glanced at Qiu Shui. The right hand that was holding the white chess piece had begun to tremble slightly, and said, "You know very well that your chess piece has no chance of survival."
Yes, there will definitely be.
Qiu Shui, you need to calm down.
You will definitely find a way to survive.
However, his right hand, which had begun to tremble slightly, betrayed him.
No, I can't give up.
Once he gives up, the system will really be gone.
Never give up.
However, seven hours of high-intensity games and high-speed calculations in the brain not only exhausted Qiu Shui's mental power, but also exhausted his physical strength.
At this time, Qiu Shui's eyes began to become a little blurry.
My right hand was also shaking badly.
But he still gritted his teeth and made another move.
The old man saw the white chess piece that Qiu Shui dropped and commented: "You are struggling to survive."
Qiu Shui gritted his teeth and looked up, saying, "You said that until the last moment, winning or losing is uncertain."
He indeed said this, and the old man looked at Qiu Shui deeply.
This kid really has the demeanor he had back then.
Okay, that's it.
Then the old man made a move quickly without thinking.
When Qiu Shui saw that child, his face turned pale.
It's over. That one move cut off all his escape routes. This game is really going to end.
Qiu Shui finally gave up.
As his tense nerves relaxed, coupled with his sweaty right hand, the chess piece between his fingers slipped directly from his hand.
With a "click", it fell directly onto the chessboard.
When the old man saw where the chess piece had landed, he stood up from his chair in shock and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
When Qiu Shui saw his chess piece that had accidentally fallen, he was filled with disbelief, and then his expression turned from sadness to joy.
