"Are you from our country?"
Han Zai Xi asked Qiu Shui with a surprised look on his face.
"Can't read?" Qiu Shui pointed at the nameplate on the table, "Not everyone who can speak your Korean language is a Korean."
The name tags all have their nationality written on them.
And just now these two people were mocking him as a Chinese.
Now ask him if he is Korean?
"It seems that you really yearn for our Kimchi country, otherwise you wouldn't be able to speak Korean so well."
Han Jae-hee raised his chin with some pride.
"Unfortunately, it's not easy to become a Korean citizen. Even if you are a rich second-generation."
Qiu Shui chuckled, "Sorry, I'm learning your country's language only because your country's language course is free when I study other countries' languages."
What this means is that language courses in Korea are so cheap that they can only be regarded as gifts.
But Qiu Shui was not wrong.
Both Kimchi Mandarin and Sakura Mandarin are complimentary courses in the world language curriculum.
Qiu Shui's major language courses include thirteen languages of other Western countries.
Due to historical reasons, Qiu Shui doesn't like the Sakura people, but he hates the Korean people even more.
At least the Sakura people have done a good job on the surface.
Of course, situations like the one that happened to the group of chess players from Sakura Country a few days ago do happen, but they rarely happen.
At the very least, we have to admit that although China is a big country. But in terms of superficial efforts, they are not as good as the people in Sakura Country.
The Country of Sakura has visa-free access to more countries internationally than China.
This is enough to prove something.
But the situation is different in Korea. Except for the heyday of Korean Wave ten years ago, it has enjoyed a certain degree of international recognition.
After that, the Korean wave faded, and in addition, various worldview-destroying things have continued to happen in Korea in recent years.
The international status of the Kimchi country has plummeted.
But people in Korea still have an inexplicable sense of superiority.
"What do you mean my Korean language is a gift? You Chinese, what do you mean? You Chinese were just a vassal state of our Korean country. How dare you look down on our Korean language?"
As a Korean, Han Jae-hee has always looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of his heart.
Although he has never been to China, it can be seen from various news. Although China is a big country, it is poor and rude.
"We, China, used to be a vassal state of your Kimchi country?"
Qiu Shui seemed to have heard a huge joke, and he switched back to Chinese, saying, "I always heard that people in the Korean country are arrogant and hypocritical. I didn't expect that they have no culture."
Han Jae-hee had learned Chinese before, so he could understand what Qiu Shui said.
"You said I'm uneducated? Am I wrong? Your country of China used to be a vassal state of our country of Kimchi. If it weren't for our country of Kimchi protecting your country of China in ancient times, your country of China would have ceased to exist long ago."
"Brother Zai Xi, stop talking."
After hearing what Han Jae-hee said, Jin Zhongsen felt his face turn red.
That is shameful.
Although some people in their Kimchi country say that China is a vassal state of their Kimchi country.
But those who have read the real history will know that in the past, their country of Korea was a vassal state of China.
The kind that pays tribute every year and seeks asylum.
Only those who have not read history would believe the nonsense on the Internet.
"Why can't I say it? I'm telling the truth."
Before Qiu Shui could say anything, the chess player from Sakura Country who was sitting opposite Jin Zhongsen couldn't help himself.
In Chinese, he said, "What? China is a vassal state of Korea? Only people from Korea can say such shameless things."
"China has a history of more than 5,000 years, and your little Kimchi country only has a history of a few years?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Han Jae-hee angrily asked in Chinese.
Although the people of Korea look down on the Chinese, they hate the people of Japan even more.
It can even be said to be disgust.
People in the Korean country hate the hypocrisy of people in the Sakura country, and people in the Sakura country hate the shamelessness of the Korean countrymen who have to say everything.
"It has nothing to do with me. I just can't stand you guys talking nonsense here. You look down on him. Do you know who Qiu Shui-san is? He is the champion of the Hualong Cup."
The Sakura countryman even smiled friendly and nodded at Qiu Shui.
He had recognized Qiu Shui just now.
What people in Sakura Country admire most are the strong.
Even though Qiu Shui is Chinese, his chess skills are strong enough.
Qiu Shui glanced at the name tag on the man's desk and found that he was a professional sixth-dan chess player from Sakura Country.
I didn't expect that the people from Sakura Country would actually help him fight against the people from Kimchi Country.
Moreover, her attitude towards him was so friendly.
Since the other person has given him a smiling face, Qiu Shui cannot respond with a stern face.
So, I smiled and nodded.
Normally, I really don’t think people from the Land of Sakura are cute.
But compared with the Koreans on the opposite side, the cuteness of the Sakura people is immediately revealed.
There is a saying that goes, the friendship between China and the Sakura Country depends entirely on the Kimchi Country.
"Champion of the Hualong Cup?"
Han Jae-hee and Jin Zhongsen heard that Qiu Shui was the champion of the Hualong Cup competition that caused a lot of controversy in China some time ago.
I suddenly understood why I felt Qiu Shui looked familiar when I saw him just now.
"I was wondering why you looked familiar. So you're the Chinese who bought the Hualong Cup championship with money?"
Han Zaixi actually wanted to go to China to participate in the Hualong Cup competition at that time.
After all, on the one hand, you can get a high bonus, and on the other hand, you can also qualify to participate in the Chess God Cup.
Thirdly, it can also strike against Chinese chess players, killing three birds with one stone.
But unfortunately, his visa was rejected.
The reason is that he has posted insulting remarks about China on some public social platforms in Korea.
Now is the age of network information.
As long as there is a trace left on the Internet, it can be found.
Han Jae-hee was angry after his visa was rejected.
Suddenly, my impression of China became even more disgusted.
I feel that Chinese people are too stingy and don’t have the slightest tolerance for others.
At the same time, I also felt that the Chinese must have refused his visa because they knew he was a strong chess player and were afraid that he would win the Hualong Cup.
Although his rank was only the fourth dan, he once defeated an eighth dan chess player from China.
Although after the game, the Chinese eighth-dan chess player explained that he lost the game because he was not feeling well.
But Han Jae-hee thought that the Chinese man was lying.
He only said he lost the game because of illness because he was afraid of losing and embarrassing himself.
Later I saw on the Internet that the champion of the Hualong Cup was actually an amateur chess player, and that amateur chess player was a very wealthy second-generation rich.
So, many people said online that the reason why the amateur chess player was able to win the championship.
It's because he bribed all the chess players.
At that time, Han Zaixu even mocked and said that the Chinese people only knew how to cheat.
Han Zai Xi didn't expect that when he came to participate in the Hualong Cup competition this time, he would actually meet this rich second-generation who spent money to buy the championship.
Spend money to buy a championship?
Although many people in China have said such things, anyone with a little common sense knows that this news is not credible.
After all, the Hualong Cup is a competition supervised by the official throughout.
Moreover, there are many live broadcasts during the competition.
"Tsk, how could our host be the kind of person who spends money to buy a championship?"
The system popped up and supported himself. Qiu Shui really wanted to praise the system dad.
As a result, the system continued: "After all, our host Erza is so stingy. Would he be the kind of person who is willing to spend money? The people of this Kimchi country think too highly of the host Erza. Don't you think so, host Erza?"
Qiu Shui: “…”
I really appreciate your praise of System Dad.
But Qiu Shui didn't want these praises at all.
Han Zai Xi saw that Qiu Shui didn't say anything and thought he agreed.
"Chinese, no matter how rich you are, no matter how many Go championships you have bought, I will never give you a chance to win this competition. Today I will let you know how strong our Korean professional Go players are."
"Okay. Then come on."
Qiu Shui didn't care at all about being wrongly accused of buying the championship.
He even smiled and said to Han Jae-hee, "You better be careful. If you accidentally lose to someone like me who paid for the championship, you will be embarrassed."
"Haha, you Chinese are really arrogant. How could I possibly lose to someone like you?"
Han Jae-hee didn't take Qiu Shui seriously at all.
Han Jae-hee's voice was a little loud, and what happened just now was heard by everyone around them.
Lou Yuchen is quite far away from Qiu Shui.
But he has been paying attention to what's happening on Qiu Shui's side.
Seeing that something seemed to be wrong with Qiu Shui, he stood up immediately.
However, Lou Yuchen's actions also attracted the attention of his opponents.
The opponent that Lou Yuchen was randomly matched with this time was a chess player from the United States.
The chess player's rank is seven dan.
Moreover, the chess player from the United States is a fan of Lou Yuchen.
I saw Lou Yuchen stand up, look not far away, and frown.
Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Lou, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
The chess player from the United States looked in the direction where Lou Yuchen was looking.
As a result, there were too many people and he couldn't see Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui happened to see Lou Yuchen standing up and shook his head at him.
It means everything is fine.
Only then did Lou Yuchen sit down.
Then he said to the chess player from the United States sitting opposite him: "It's okay."
Before long, it was time for the competition.
The president of the American Go National Go Association stood up and delivered a speech in person.
"I hereby declare that the third International Go God Cup Tournament will officially begin in 2022."
"This competition will adopt the international unified Go competition rules, with Black being given a handicap of three and three-quarter stones."
In this competition, each chess player will have three hours of competition time.
If the strength is equal, it will really be a long game.
During the competition, there will be a two-hour lunch break.
There are many restaurants near the competition venue.
This was the street where Qiu Shui and his friends had eaten before.
At the beginning of the game, Han Jae-hee was full of confidence.
No one even looks at Qiu Shui straight in the eye.
"Chinese, is this the level of your chess? You are still at the beginner level. With your level, you are not even as good as the amateur chess players in our country of Kimchi."
"With such a high level, you still spend money to buy the championship? I don't know why the Go world in your country is so corrupt."
Han Jae-hee's words became more and more outrageous.
The voice was a little loud, and the chess player from Sakura Country sitting next to him raised his hand.
The referee walked over quickly.
The Sakura chess player pointed directly at Han Zaixi and said, "Referee, this chess player has been talking loudly and affecting our game."
The referee immediately glared at Han Zaixi and said, "Player, please do not speak loudly during the game and disrupt other players. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the competition and reported to the higher authorities for disqualification."
"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention."
Han Jae-hee was arrogant just now, but as soon as the referee came, he immediately gave in.
After the referee left, Han Zaixi glared at the chess player from Sakura Country.
The chess player from the Sakura Country just sneered. Then he continued his game.
Qiu Shui didn't say a word the whole time, as if he was an outsider.
When Han Zaixi saw Qiu Shui's calm look, he remembered the behavior of the chess player from Sakura Country against him just now.
Suddenly I seemed to understand something.
He snorted coldly and lowered his voice, saying, "Don't think you can win the game by bribing that Sakura countryman and targeting me. I tell you, I won't be fooled by you. Just give up that idea."
Qiu Shui looked at Han Zai Xi with a puzzled expression.
Is there something wrong with this Korean?
What does it mean that he bribed that Sakura countryman?
It was obvious that the chess player from the Sakura Country just couldn't stand it and spoke out for justice.
As a result, he bribed them to influence his game.
Qiu Shui placed a move, and a hint of sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I think you shouldn't be a chess player, you should be a screenwriter."
"What do you mean?"
Han Zai Xi didn't understand what Qiu Shui meant.
Qiu Shui just smiled coldly and said nothing more.
In fact, at the beginning, he was ready to end the game quickly.
After all, he really didn't want to see the face of this Korean again.
But now.
Qiu Shui changed his mind.
Short-term pain is only temporary.
Long-term darkness and despair are the most torturous.
Therefore, Qiu Shui extended the timeline.
The trap was magnified.
When the chess pieces were played for about 30 moves, Han Jae-hee looked very proud.
When he reached forty hands, his brows began to frown slightly.
When the chess game reached the fiftieth move, Han Jae-hee's expression began to become serious.
The speed of moving pieces is getting slower and slower.
Lou Yuchen in the distance has stood up.
He has finished the game.
Although his opponent lost the game, he looked very excited.
He looked at Lou Yuchen with admiration.
However, Lou Yuchen didn't even look at him.
His eyes fell on Qiu Shui.
Based on his understanding of Qiu Shui, Qiu Shui should have almost finished the competition.
Because he also knows Qiu Shui's opponent.
It was Han Zaixi from South Korea, although Lou Yuchen had never played chess with that Han Zaixi.
However, Liang Zitao played against him before, and Liang Zitao won quite easily at that time.
Therefore, Han Zai Xi’s strength is not that strong.
Qiu Shui should win easily.
However, now an hour has passed and Qiu Shui has not come out yet.
Lou Yuchen couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Qiu Shui felt his gaze, smiled at him, and then pointed outside the door.
It means to let him wait outside.
Lou Yuchen nodded and walked out.
Next to him was the excited fan from the American country.
Many people's eyes followed Lou Yuchen as he left.
After all, Lou Yuchen was the chess god of the previous session and is the idol of many young chess players.
Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing a black Sakura national costume also stood up.
Many people looked at him.
That was the chess god of the previous session, the top player of Sakura Country, Yusuke Yamada.
Qiu Shui's gaze also fell on Yusuke Yamada.
The first impression that Yusuke Yamada gives people is that he is rigorous.
There was no smile on his face and his eyes were sharp.
The aura on his body is somewhat intimidating.
Like a sword drawn from its sheath, people dare not look directly at its edge.
This is a man who, just by looking at his appearance, you can tell he is a very powerful man.
Although Lou Yuchen usually has a blank expression when facing other people.
However, Lou Yuchen's aura is restrained. Although he is cold and aloof, he makes people feel distant.
But he doesn't have the aggressive feeling like Yusuke Yamada.
Soon, another man who looked very similar to Yusuke Yamada, about 27 or 28 years old, also stood up.
Following Yusuke Yamada, he left the competition venue.
That should be Yusuke Yamada's son, Yusuke Ichiro.
Qiu Shui had seen the photo of the father and son.
In this competition, both father and son are favorites to win.
Many people follow them.
“Pah…”
Han Zai Xi on the opposite side didn't have the leisure to pay attention to other people.
He thought about this move for a full five minutes before making it.
It took a full half more time than the previous move.
After seeing where his chess piece landed, Qiu Shui's eyes were filled with smile.
Han Jae-hee thought about this move for a full five minutes and thought he had gotten rid of his control.
In fact, he had already fallen into the trap he had designed.
Qiu Shui had already anticipated this move.
So, he had set a trap early on.
Look, the prey has come to your door.
Without any thought, Qiu Shui simply tapped the upper right corner of the piece that Han Zaixi had just placed. It echoes the other white chess piece in the upper left corner.
With a "pop", when the white chess piece fell on the chessboard, Han Zaixi's pupils constricted and his face was full of disbelief.
No, how could this happen.
How did he come up with this move?
Han Zai Xi just thought about this move for so long, and he thought he could break Qiu Shui's white chess pieces' control over his black chess pieces.
However, just after Qiu Shui made this move, the chess piece he had just used to rescue him instantly turned into a shackle around his neck.
Did Qiu Shui already know where he would place the chess piece?
Impossible, how did he know?
This must be a coincidence, yes, it must be a coincidence.
Han Zai Xi continued to make moves and Qiu Shui continued to chase.
The white pieces are pressing the black pieces step by step.
But that did not trap the black pieces.
There will always be an escape route left for Black.
Moreover, it is always discovered by Han Jae-hee by coincidence.
The first time this happened, Han Jae-hee was thankful.
When it happened the second time, Han Jae Hee thought that he was strong enough to find a way to survive. And felt proud.
But when it happened the third time, he realized something was wrong.
It was not until the fourth time that he suddenly raised his head and saw Qiu Shui looking at him with a smile.
He understood immediately.
The Chinese man in front of him was deliberately teasing him.
Like looking down from above and teasing the ants.
Suddenly, Han Zaixin felt a strong sense of humiliation in his heart.
He was furious but didn't dare to yell out loud.
He dropped the chess piece onto the board with great force; the crisp sound seemed to carry with it his anger towards Qiu Shui.
Looking at Han Jae-hee gritting his teeth, his face full of anger, but he seemed to be helpless.
Qiu Shui felt very comfortable.
"You better keep calm. If you lose to a rich second-generation like me who bought the championship with money, you, a professional 4th-dan chess player, will be humiliated."
Han Jae-hee gritted his teeth and said, "Want to beat me? You're dreaming."
Qiu Shui snorted coldly, "Really? Then let's see if it's a dream or not."
It was almost time for the lunch break.
Qiu Shui was not going to let Lou Yuchen wait for him too long.
So, I decided to finish this game of chess before the lunch break.
So, Han Zai Xi discovered that Qiu Shui actually started to gain momentum directly at the corner.
The speed was fast and fierce, and every chess piece that fell seemed to pierce Han Zaixi's flesh.
As the scars increase, the injuries become more serious.
Han Zai Xi, who had lost too much blood, could no longer control himself.
The pieces on the chessboard were in dire crisis.
When Qiu Shui dropped that fatal chess piece, Han Zaixi had no chance of survival.
"The 100th move. Just right."
Qiu Shui looked at Han Zai Xi opposite him with a smile.
Han Jae-hee's pupils could be seen trembling.
How is it possible? How could this be possible?
His whole body began to tremble slightly, and finally, he picked up two chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.
It was as if all the strength in my body had been drained away.
The whole person slumped down in the chair.
He said weakly in Chinese: "I lost."
He actually lost, which was something Han Jae-hee never dreamed of.
He knew that with his ability, he might not even make it to the finals if he participated in the competition.
But I never expected that I would lose the first game.
And he lost to the Chinese people whom he looked down upon.
He vowed to teach the Chinese man in front of him a lesson.
As a result, he was beaten to a pulp by the opponent and he didn't even have the chance to fight back.
The other party simply pressed him to death.
The gap in strength is so great that it makes people despair.
How could this Chinese guy be so strong? He was even stronger than the ninth dan player he knew.
Qiu Shui pressed the timer, stood up, and looked down at Han Zai Xi, who looked as if he had been fished out of the water and was in a dishevel.
He said word by word: "It seems that the strength of your Korean professional chess players is just so-so. Even someone like me who bought the championship with money can't beat me. You talked so loudly just now that I almost believed it."
Qiu Shui's words were like a slap in the face, directly hitting Han Zai Xi in the face.
His face was swollen from being slapped.
Jin Zhongsen next to him looked at Qiu Shui in shock. He didn't expect that Qiu Shui actually finished the chess game before the lunch break.
The Sakura countryman opposite Jin Zhongsen had a look of gloating on his face.
