Zhang Jiatai stared at the chess game that had already been decided on the computer screen, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Lost again, lost miserably.
Moreover, Zhang Jiatai felt that the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves seemed stronger than before.
How could a person grow so much in just one or two days?
So, there is only one possibility.
This guy didn't show his true strength when he played chess with him before.
Zhang Jiatai felt like he was standing in front of a peak that reached into the sky.
When he thought that what he saw when he looked up was the top of the mountain, in fact, it was just the halfway point of the mountain blocked by the white clouds in the sky.
The real mountain top is still hidden in the white clouds.
This guy's chess playing is terrifying. He can see through people's hearts, which makes people shudder.
Zhang Jiatai looked at his still slightly trembling hands, and he suddenly felt that the fear of being promoted from sixth dan to seventh dan was not so scary in front of the chess game that was like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.
Since this time, Zhang Jiatian never again persevered in looking for Qiufengsaoluoye to play chess with him like before.
Because he had already seen that there was a huge gap between the two of them in chess skills, he decided to wait for the promotion tournament in a few months, and after he successfully got promoted, he would come and challenge Qiu Feng Sao Luo Ye.
The Longteng watch that was sent for repair was personally delivered back by the staff at Longteng’s headquarters.
Not to mention, although there are 40 different watches in Qiu Shui’s cloakroom, the Longteng watch still feels most comfortable.
The most important thing is that the Longteng watch is really high-end, simple and fashionable, which makes Qiu Shui like it very much.
Soon, it was time for the Longhua Cup Go Tournament and the start of the preliminaries.
This year's Hualong Cup is very grand, it is officially organized and has strong support from bigwigs from all sides.
Kyoto's Hualong Cup qualifiers were held in Kyoto's largest sports center building.
There are more than 50,000 participants in the Kyoto Hualong Cup qualifying competition.
All these contestants will take part in the competition together.
The sports center building has a total of 23 floors. There are 15 competition rooms on each floor. Each competition room is over 300 square meters and can accommodate 200 people to participate in the competition.
In other words, one floor can accommodate a total of 3,000 people to participate in the competition.
Before the competition, all contestants had been assigned the competition venue, floor and room.
There were also several people that Qiu Shui knew participating in this preliminary round.
They are Zhang Jiayun, Zhou Hao, and Bao Yingyuan.
Xia Canyang has been busy with his company's new game recently. Not to mention, the advertising was pretty good. Qiu Shui had already seen promotions for his game on several websites.
According to Xia Canyang, the players' feedback was also very positive. This game might really become popular.
Because this is the first time Qiu Shui has participated in such a formal competition since he started learning Go.
Qiu Shui was very cautious and picked out a set of casual clothes with white top and black bottom directly from the closet.
This dress was one of the 40 sets of clothes won in the lottery.
Both the material and workmanship are very good.
Wear it on, and then put on the matching Longteng watch, shoes and socks.
Qiu Shui immediately transformed from a loser into an elegant and noble gentleman with outstanding temperament.
This outfit alone is worth more than 10 million.
Zhang Jiayun had good eyesight and when he saw Qiu Shui's outfit, he immediately whistled.
He recognized Qiu Shui's outfit at a glance. Although it was not as good as the one he wore to attend Xia Canyang's birthday party, it was worth no less than ten million.
When I usually see Qiu Shui, she is always wearing some cheap goods. The kind that costs less than a hundred pounds on the whole body.
A bit too low-key.
But once it comes to formal occasions, it's like walking cash.
Whether it's the clothes, watches, or even shoes, none of them are cheap.
Zhang Jiayun's clothes were better than usual, but he still wore his favorite color pink.
Even the little electric scooter was bought in pink.
"Mr. Qiu, let's go. It's almost time." Zhang Jiayun sat on the electric car and smiled at Qiu Shui, "I just called Haozi and Fatty. They set out an hour ago. But now they are stuck on the way."
After saying that, Zhang Jiayun patted the electric scooter and sighed: "It's still safer to ride an electric scooter. At least you don't have to worry about traffic jams."
"Okay, let's go." After putting on the helmet, Qiu Shui and Zhang Jiayun rode away on the electric scooter.
Jinyue Bay is more than ten kilometers away from the Sports Building.
There are a lot of participants. Kyoto’s traffic is already congested every day, and it was even more congested today.
Therefore, taking the subway or riding an electric scooter is the safest option.
The competition started at ten o'clock in the morning.
Qiu Shui and Zhang Jiayun left home at 8:15.
The closer you get to the sports building, the more congested the road becomes.
When they arrived at the sports building, it was not yet nine o'clock.
There is still a long time before the game starts, but now we can enter the game venue in the sports building.
After all, there are a lot of participants in this qualifying round, so you can enter the competition venue two hours in advance.
There are four entrances to the sports building: ABCD.
Because of the competition, many traffic police came to the scene to maintain order.
There are also staff from the Go Association at the door to help register participants.
After parking the car, Qiu Shui and Zhang Jiayun rushed to the nearest entrance B.
I saw two long queues already formed at entrance B.
In addition to the contestants, there were also many media and live broadcast personnel. There were even many people who brought their family members to participate in the competition and watch the fun.
When you go out the gate, you can see a sea of people.
Fortunately, there were traffic police on the scene to maintain order. And there are guardrails at the main entrance.
Apart from the contestants, even the media could only stand outside the guardrail.
Also, to prevent contestants from being late due to being disturbed by people outside.
A special channel was also opened for the contestants.
"There are so many people!" Zhang Jiayun and Qiu Shui looked at the people outside the guardrail while waiting in line. "Except for ordinary major festivals, we rarely see so many people."
"Yeah, that's true." Qiu Shui nodded in agreement, "This competition is very exciting."
Zhang Jiayun laughed and said, "Mr. Qiu, did you see those old men and women in front? I was wondering why so many people came to sign up. I didn't expect that the old men and women would stop square dancing and come to play chess instead."
"Don't underestimate them, there may be masters among them." Qiu Shui knew that some retired uncles and aunts had more time to play chess than young people. There might be a few experts among them.
Zhang Jiayun patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Qiu. Although I can't compete with professional chess players, I can still handle amateur chess players with my cousin's devilish training over the past two days."
After spending some time together, Qiu Shui got to know Zhang Jiayun and realized that he was usually a carefree person. Easy to be confident.
Well, anyway, he has reminded him. If Zhang Jiayun really loses from the beginning, Qiu Shui will not be able to help him.
Qiu Shui suddenly remembered something and asked Zhang Jiayun, "I heard that those professional chess players don't participate in the preliminaries?"
Zhang Jiayun nodded, "Yes, professional chess players don't have to participate in the preliminaries. It's not like us, who have to go through three levels and kill six generals. We have to go through twelve rounds of competition without losing a single game before we can enter the real competition and play chess with those professional chess players."
Zhang Jiayun changed the subject and said to Qiu Shui with a smile: "I don't have a chance. But I think you can do it, Qiu Shao. After all, even professional chess players can't beat you. Maybe you can even win a prize!"
Qiu Shui nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I think so too."
This is not because he is narcissistic, he just wants to win the championship. Only by winning the championship can you complete the mission.
The mission of killing 100 people has been completed by 85%. He only needs 15 more people to complete the mission.
After getting the Go luck value these days, he enters the system space every day to play Go with the old man.
Although he was still being abused, he was able to withstand the beatings longer and longer.
Even last night, he tricked the old man and almost turned the tables.
The old man, who was always as calm as a mountain and expressionless, showed a hint of surprise at that time.
Although he lost in the end, Qiu Shui was happy to lose.
Because he could see with his own eyes that his chess skills were constantly improving.
The gap between him and the old man is getting smaller and smaller.
A teenager who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old who was following Qiu Shui and the other man said disdainfully after hearing what they said, "Tsk, bragging, who can't do that? Don't lose in the first round, or you'll lose face."
After hearing this, Qiu Shui and Zhang Jiayun turned around and looked at the young man behind them.
The man faced the gazes of the two people without any guilt, and glared at them, "What are you looking at? Am I wrong? Look at the two of you, you are so delicate and tender, and you don't even have chess calluses on your hands. You are dressed so brightly and come to participate in the competition? I think you are here to join in the fun."
After that person glanced at Zhang Jiayun, his gaze stopped on Qiu Shui.
From beginning to end, from clothes to accessories, it's not simple.
The man could tell at a glance that the two were second-generation rich.
Zhang Jiayun retorted: "You sound so great. If you are great, why don't you go to get a promotion? You are running here in the hot sun to line up. I don't think you are much better."
Qiu Shui didn't say anything because he noticed thick calluses on the other person's hands, and thought that he must have played Go frequently.
Just as the other party said, Qiu Shui has not been playing Go for a long time and has no calluses on his hands yet.
Therefore, anyone who plays Go can tell whether you are a Go player or not just by looking at your hands.
"Are you very good?" Qiu Shui asked.
The man raised his chin and said proudly, "That's right, in this year's ranking tournament, if I hadn't been unlucky and met that guy Fang Wen at the last minute, I would have been ranked successfully. There would be no need for me to come here and queue up like this."
