Qiu Shui was thinking about playing a game with Lou Yuchen and then defeating him. Let him never forget himself for the rest of his life.
The problem is that Qiu Shui has no confidence in his current chess skills!
Are you kidding? Who is this Lou Yuchen?
He is the chess god of our time.
If the ninth dan represents the highest level of Go, then Lou Yuchen's level is likely to have reached what the system calls the master level. That is ten sections.
After defeating the professional chess player Fang Wen, Qiu Shui probably knew that his level had reached that of a professional chess player.
But Fang Wen is only a beginner level professional chess player. Just because he can beat Fang Wen doesn’t mean he can beat other professional chess players.
What's more, he is the best among professional chess players.
So, after thinking about it, now is not the best time to play chess with Lou Yuchen.
Moreover, he can only be considered an amateur chess player at best. Lou Yuchen is a chess god, how could it be possible for him to play chess with him so easily?
Only by winning the Hualong Cup could I possibly play a game with Lou Yuchen.
So, let’s work hard to improve our chess skills now.
Now that we know Lou Yuchen's identity, it will be easier to find him in the future.
Thinking of this, Qiu Shui's steps became cheerful.
After signing in at the door, Qiu Shui walked in.
As expected, I found that there was a huge crowd in the lobby on the first floor.
Everyone's face was red and they were pushing forward excitedly. Qiu Shui wanted to see Lou Yuchen, but there were too many people and she couldn't see him even if she stood on tiptoe.
In the end, I could only walk towards the stairs with regret.
His competition venue today is on the third floor. He has to wait for the elevator, so he might as well take the stairs.
Lou Yuchen didn't expect that he would be able to find that person by waiting on the first floor.
As a result, he was recognized by the contestants and more and more people surrounded him.
The two people from the Go Association couldn't stop so many people. In the end, they surrounded him so tightly that he couldn't get out.
Because there were so many people, he couldn't see Qiu Shui at all when he walked in.
It was not until Jiang Ruozhi on the other side heard the news that he hurried over and barely separated the surrounding contestants.
However, since those contestants had finally seen Lou Yuchen, how could they leave easily? Everyone hopes that Lou Yuchen can see them and remember them.
If possible, it would be even more perfect if I could get Lou Yuchen's signature, or even his mobile phone number.
So, despite Jiang Ruozhi's repeated persuasion, the surrounding contestants refused to leave.
Finally, seeing the mess at the scene, the competition staff rushed over and asked Jiang Ruozhi to ask Lou Yuchen to leave the scene first.
Otherwise, if this continues, it will definitely affect the game.
There was no other way, Lou Yuchen could only leave with Jiang Ruozhi.
After Lou Yuchen, Jiang Ruozhi and others left, there were less than ten minutes left before the game started.
The contestants around them had no choice but to hurried upstairs and rush to their respective competition venues.
Although Lou Yuchen left with Jiang Ruozhi, he was very unwilling to do so.
However, because his problem has affected the competition, he definitely cannot go to the sports center building anymore.
Therefore, Lou Yuchen could only ask Jiang Ruozhi and others to find that person.
Qiu Shui had no idea that Lou Yuchen was waiting for him on the first floor.
After entering the competition field, he found that he was on the same field with Bai Yan again.
I don’t know what kind of fate this is.
One of them had his left hand tied, and the other had his right hand tied. They were standing between two tables, facing each other.
However, this time, Bai Yan did not act like a proud peacock, looking disdainful towards Qiu Shui like he did last time.
Instead, the look in his eyes when he looked at Qiu Shui was full of complexity. It seemed like he wanted to ask Qiu Shui something, but he was hesitant.
Qiu Shui felt confused by his gaze.
But he didn't think much about it, instead he stared at the timer on the table.
In a Go game, the timer is placed on the right hand side of the white chess piece.
Under normal circumstances, it would have no effect on Qiu Shui no matter which side the timer was placed on.
But this is round five, a time trial.
His right hand was injured and he used white chess pieces. Then you can only play chess with your left hand, and press the timer with your left hand.
In this way, under the same conditions, every move he makes, from placing the chess piece to pressing the timer, is the same. It will be two to three seconds slower than the opponent. This is a deadly number.
If you use black chess pieces, it will be slower by 1 second at most.
Bai Yan, who was sitting in front of Qiu Shui, also discovered this problem.
Because his injured hand was his left hand, if he used black chess pieces, he would encounter the same problem as Qiu Shui.
Therefore, Bai Yan also frowned at this time.
Qiu Shui's opponent this time is a male amateur chess player who is about 30 years old.
After he sat down, he saw Qiu Shui with his right hand tied up, and said with some sympathy: "Your injured arm will not be good for your competition! But even so, wait, I will not show mercy."
If it were any other time, I might have been more courteous. But this is a competition and we can't give in.
"Of course." Qiu Shui had never thought of asking others to give way to him.
The competition officially began.
Both sides guess who will play black and who will play white first.
Bai Yan was lucky enough to get the black chess piece.
But Qiu Shui guessed wrong and got the white chess piece.
The chess player sitting opposite Qiu Shui could only say sorry to Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui also looked helpless. He didn't expect that his luck would be so bad.
It seems that in this competition, we have to go all out and try to shorten the time as much as possible.
After the fifth round, the level of all contestants has leapt to another level.
From the time he got the Master Card until now, Qiu Shui has never used his full strength to play a game of chess with anyone other than the old man.
Therefore, when he was fully energetic, the chess player on the opposite side broke out in cold sweats and began to doubt his life.
After only forty moves, the opponent's chess player could no longer hold back and admitted defeat.
Qiu Shui immediately pressed the timer and checked the time.
Very good, took less than 10 minutes.
I was lucky this time, the opponent was not strong. Otherwise, the time may be doubled.
Qiu Shui raised his hand and walked over like a referee.
The referee couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Qiu Shui took less than ten minutes. Record Qiu Shui's results immediately.
The other people in the arena were shocked when they saw the referee start recording the results.
The game is over so soon?
When I saw the chess player opposite Qiu Shui with a depressed look on his face, I knew who won and who lost.
Bai Yan also looked at Qiu Shui in surprise. She didn't expect that he would win the game so quickly.
This is the fifth game, and the level of the contestants who can come to this game is not weak.
Qiu Shui was able to win the game so quickly, so his strength must be really strong!
Bai Yan thought of what happened yesterday and couldn't help gritting her teeth. No, he wanted to play a game with him personally to see if he was qualified to play chess with Lou Shen.
Some people may think that the time trial rule is a bit unfair.
After all, contestants’ opponents are drawn at random.
If you encounter a strong opponent, it will definitely take more time.
The competition doesn’t care how strong your opponent is, the ranking is based on time.
However, this involves several rounds of competition, and it is impossible to encounter strong opponents in every round.
When you encounter it, others will also encounter it.
Of course, if you encounter such a strong opponent in so many rounds of competition, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.
From the fifth round to the twelfth round, the time taken for these eight rounds is added together. Only the top 65 contestants with the shortest time will be eligible to compete for the championship of the Hualong Cup with 235 professional chess players from home and abroad.
The first four rounds are actually just a simple elimination round to eliminate those contestants who are just there for show.
So, the real competition starts from the fifth round.
When Qiu Shui finished the game and went down to the lobby on the first floor, a staff member of the Go Association who had been guarding the lobby saw Qiu Shui and immediately told Jiang Ruozhi on the intercom. Then he stepped forward and stopped Qiu Shui.
"etc."
Qiu Shui was about to walk towards the door when a uniformed staff member stopped him.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Qiu Shui was wondering why this staff member suddenly stopped him.
The staff member asked excitedly, "Excuse me, are you Qiu Shui? Qiu means autumn, Shui means rain."
"I am." Qiu Shui nodded.
"Great, I finally found you." The staff member was very excited. "Can you please wait for a moment? The president of our Go Association is looking for you. He will be here soon."
"Looking for me? Is there something wrong?" Qiu Shui was puzzled. Why did the president of the Go Association look for him? I don’t even seem to know the president of the Go Association!
The staff member did not explain, but just said: "Please wait a moment, the president will be here soon."
Qiu Shui waited for less than five minutes before he saw Jiang Ruozhi.
As soon as Jiang Ruozhi received the news, he hurried over here.
After all, Jiang Ruozhi is already in his forties and his health is not as good as before.
It was only a distance of a few hundred meters, and he stopped several times while running over.
As soon as he saw Qiu Shui, he looked her up and down. After confirming that this is the person you are looking for. He immediately panted and said excitedly, "Huff, huff, I finally found you. Hello, I'm Jiang Ruozhi, the president of the Kyoto Go Association. Could you please come with us? There's someone who wants to see you."
Who wants to see him? He was even able to order the president of the Go Association to invite him? What caused such a big fuss?
If it were someone else, they would have probably followed the president of the Go Association with a look of fear on their faces.
But Qiu Shui directly refused.
"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I have to leave first. I may not be able to go meet anyone with you."
He had already promised Zhang Jiayun that he would go to Zhang's house for lunch. You must not go back on your word.
Hearing Qiu Shui actually rejected him, Jiang Ruozhi became anxious and said quickly: "Mr. Qiu, don't worry, we really have no ill intentions. It's just that someone wants to meet you and play a game of chess with you."
"Play chess?" Qiu Shui raised an eyebrow and said, "That person wanted to play chess with me and even asked me to come in person. He's really a big shot."
But maybe because he has been spoiled by the system recently, Qiu Shui has gradually begun to regain some of his previous bad temper.
This guy wants to play chess with me and even delivers himself to my door. What a joke.
Moreover, they found so many people to intercept me. Those who knew about it were people from the Go Association. If you don’t know, you might think he is from some gang.
Qiu Shui just can't tolerate those people's bad habits.
"If that person really wants to play chess with me, then let him come to me in person. My time is precious and I don't want to waste it on useless people."
After saying that, Qiu Shui walked straight to the gate.
"Wait." Jiang Ruozhi immediately chased after him, "If you knew his identity, you would definitely go. He is..."
Before Jiang Ruozhi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui turned around and said with a gloomy face: "No matter who he is, he has nothing to do with me. If he wants to play chess, you can. Let him come to me in person."
Seeing that Qiu Shui seemed a little angry, Jiang Ruozhi had no choice but to say, "Then please leave your contact information."
"I'll give you my cell phone number."
After leaving his cell phone number, Qiu Shui was too lazy to talk nonsense with Jiang Ruozhi and just left.
To be honest, Qiu Shui was a little angry.
What kind of person is this? When I want to play chess with him, he doesn’t come. Letting others do it is too big a deal.
What does that person think of Qiu Shui? Should he go just because he wants him to?
Qiu Shui is also a man with a bad temper.
It’s just strange, why would someone come to play chess with him?
The person who could order the president of the Go Association over here must not be a simple person.
Qiu Shui felt that playing chess might just be an excuse, and he was afraid that the real purpose was to cause trouble for him.
He is not stupid, so he would not go with others alone. What if it really is the Hongmen Banquet or something like that? Then we would be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
No, it seems that I really need to find a bodyguard.
He now has billions in savings, and the money has not been spent yet. I can't just die like this.
No matter how stingy you are, you have to protect your own life.
Well, after having lunch at Zhang's house, I will talk to the system and see if I can get a bodyguard out of the system.
