The moment the chess piece in Yusuke Yamada's hand slipped, the whole world seemed to be quiet.
When he slumped in the chair and said in a lost voice, "I lost."
Instantly, huge waves arose.
Yusuke Ichiro standing by looked in disbelief.
Impossible, how could my father lose.
This is impossible.
The other media reporters also looked incredulous.
Lost?
The world's second-ranked chess player actually lost.
Lost to someone who has no international fame at all.
A Chinese chess player whose rank is only the beginner level?
Those people in the live broadcast room were even more shocked.
"Acting, this must be acting, right? This is a prepared script, right?"
"Oh God, someone please wake me up. This can't be true. There's no way Yusuke Yamada could lose."
"It's an illusion. It must be an illusion."
"How amazing! How could that Chinese chess player be so amazing?"
"I've seen his chess games before, and they are completely different from today's."
"So, he never used his full strength before?"
"So, he really has the capital to be so arrogant? He's not arrogant?"
"What kind of a male protagonist's counterattack script is this? I used to think that those scripts in our country were exaggerated. I didn't expect that real life is even more exaggerated."
"This is even more exciting than the previous game between Lou Yuchen and Yusuke Yamada."
"Didn't you hear what this Chinese guy just said? Yusuke Yamada is the only one besides Lou Yuchen who managed to hold on until the end."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard someone say this, I would have definitely spit on him. Only after watching it did I realize that what he said might actually be the truth."
In the face of absolute strength, all falsehoods, criticisms, and malicious speculations can really be silenced.
Even people who don't know much about Go would be shocked when they saw the cold sweat on Yusuke Yamada's forehead and his distraught look. Now I understand how much of a blow this game of chess has dealt to him.
In fact, there were people who managed to hold on until the end in front of Qiu Shui before.
But that was because Qiu Shui didn't use his full strength at all.
Moreover, at that time, most chess games were played on the Internet.
Later, after completely integrating the Master Card, he used all his strength.
So far, in real life, only Lou Yuchen and Yusuke Yamada have managed to survive until the end under his hands.
Yusuke Yamada is actually very strong at chess.
But, it is not the strongest.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing chess for too many years.
Therefore, Yusuke Yamada's moves seemed a bit stiff.
There is no more agility and liveliness of young people.
Therefore, it only took about fifty moves for Qiu Shui to basically see through his chess.
Lou Yuchen's chess moves are also very regular.
But Lou Yuchen's chess moves are flexible.
However, Yusuke Yamada's chess moves are not flexible.
This is the difference between the two.
Yusuke Yamada never thought he would lose.
Yet the reality is right before our eyes.
This game of chess lasted a total of three hours.
The time was already half past twelve.
The match between Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao has reached halftime.
Qiu Shui heard the system's announcement of mission completion in his mind.
My mood also improved.
Moreover, he also received special rewards this time.
Qiu Shui looked at the watch on his hand, and as he stood up, he said, "Three hours is just the right time. Mr. Yusuke, I'm sorry, I have to leave."
A chess game played by an expert can sometimes last seven or eight hours.
If there is no time limit like Akisui and Yusuke Yamada.
Some even last for two or three days.
There was a chess player who won a game with no time limit.
I didn't sleep for three days and two nights, and lost 7 kilograms.
After the game was over, he fainted.
Qiu Shui would never spend three days and two nights or two days and one night with Yusuke Yamada.
The bodyguard at the side saw Qiu Shui get up and leave.
He immediately protected Qiu Shui and separated him from the excited media around him.
Qiu Shui was in a hurry to pick up Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao.
So, after saying hello to Yusuke Yamada, I politely prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Yusuke Yamada suddenly jumped up from his chair.
He shouted to Qiu Shui, "Mr. Qiu, please wait."
Qiu Shui stopped when he heard his voice.
She turned and looked at him with confusion.
It's rare for Yusuke Yamada to lose his composure like this.
In the past, he paid great attention to etiquette and would never speak loudly in front of so many people.
But now, he couldn't care about anything.
He took two steps at a time and rushed to Qiu Shui.
"You just said that the time is just right. What do you mean by that? Did you calculate the end time of the game when you were playing chess with me?"
Yusuke Yamada was already in a trance because he lost the game of chess.
However, after hearing what Qiu Shui had just said, he seemed to have recovered.
At this time, he opened his eyes wide and stared at Qiu Shui intently. I want to wait for the answer from his mouth and his face.
The answer that he was both afraid of and doubtful of.
Qiu Shui said: "In the beginning, yes. But later, your chess skills were beyond my expectations."
Hearing this, Yusuke Yamada felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably disappointed.
But, was it really him who misunderstood?
However, Qiu Shui's next words made Yusuke Yamada stunned.
Qiu Shui said, "I originally planned to finish the game in two hours. But you were stronger than I thought and made it to the end. It took an extra hour. It was beyond my expectation."
In reality, Qiu Shui has never played chess with anyone other than Lou Yuchen for more than two hours.
At most, it will take more than an hour.
So, he originally planned to finish the game in two hours.
But Yusuke Yamada's chess skills dragged on until the end.
This was not Qiu Shui's contempt for his chess skills, on the contrary, it was an affirmation of his chess skills.
If it was Qiu Shui who had just merged the Master Card not long ago.
If he faces the current Yusuke Yamada, he will definitely lose.
But he is different now.
Although I never went to play chess with the old man again.
But Qiu Shui plays a game with Lou Yuchen almost every day.
In the daily game with Lou Yuchen, not only did Lou Yuchen make progress.
Qiu Shui has also made progress.
And since he knew that Lou Yuchen was with him, he didn't care whether his chess skills were stronger than Lou Yuchen's.
Qiu Shui seemed to have let go.
His chess play also became more wild.
The progress is even greater than before.
The system sees all of this.
It’s just that Qiu Shui himself didn’t feel it.
Three hours?
Yusuke Yamada was stunned.
At this moment, Qiu Shui’s words kept appearing in his mind.
So, this game of chess. Qiu Shui was really already controlling his rhythm and direction when the market opened.
Even his time.
However, because his chess skills were stronger than his opponent expected, the game ended in three hours.
Just now when playing chess, Yusuke Yamada felt a strong feeling of being controlled and dominated.
If it were someone with an unstable mind, it is very likely that after the game of chess is over. My mentality collapsed.
But Yusuke Yamada has been playing chess for decades after all.
His mentality is extremely stable.
Therefore, Qiu Shui's chess game made him feel creepy.
But I don't feel any fear yet.
Until Qiu Shui said this. It hit him completely.
It turns out that he is only worth three hours of the other person's time.
So, at this moment, Yusuke Yamada finally understood.
Why, Lou Yuchen's chess is even stronger than before.
It was obvious that last time, Lou Yuchen's chess was evenly matched with his.
But this time, they were able to control the rhythm of the game for both sides.
Originally, Lou Yuchen absorbed the essence from Qiu Shui.
With such a powerful master around, how could Lou Yuchen not make progress?
Why?
Looking at Akisui Yusuke in front of him, Yamada felt jealous for the first time.
The young man in front of me is only 23 years old.
Why was his chess able to reach a level that he had spent decades to achieve?
Apart from talent, Yusuke Yamada felt there was no other explanation.
Because of Go.
If you don't have talent. No matter how hard you work, it's useless.
Talented people can easily do things that others cannot do.
This world is fair.
In reality, there is never absolute fairness.
Since he was a child, Yusuke Yamada has felt that he is a Go genius.
He successfully became a professional professional at the age of fourteen.
At the age of 22, he became the youngest ninth dan in Sakura Country.
At the age of thirty, he defeated the best Go player in China and dominated the Go world for fifteen years.
Until I met Lou Yuchen.
At the age of sixteen, Lou Yuchen became the youngest ninth dan in China, and even in the world.
And, get promoted all the way.
Unfortunately, at that time, Lou Yuchen missed many games due to his mother's affairs.
Later, due to various reasons, I missed many international competitions.
Until three years ago.
Lou Yuchen participated in the Chess God Cup competition.
He defeated Yusuke Yamada in one fell swoop and became the youngest chess god.
He has also become an idol for the younger generation of chess players.
Because Lou Yuchen is better than Yusuke Yamada, and is half his age.
More importantly, Lou Yuchen is very handsome.
Sitting together with Yusuke Yamada, who is already considered half an old man.
Of course, Lou Yuchen is more popular.
Originally, Yusuke Yamada thought that his strongest opponent in his life was Lou Yuchen.
Unexpectedly, a stronger Qiu Shui appeared now.
The shock on Yusuke Yamada's face turned into a bitter smile.
Finally, he uttered a deep sigh.
Then, in the surprised gaze of everyone, he bowed deeply to Qiu Shui.
Then he said: "Mr. Qiu, I lost."
Qiu Shui reflexively moved to the side to avoid it.
Even though Yusuke Yamada is a player from Sakura Country, he is also a veteran in the Go world.
If Qiu Shui accepted this gift in public, he would definitely be accused of being disrespectful to his predecessors and arrogant in the Go world.
Yusuke Ichiro saw that his father actually bowed to Qiu Shui.
An expression of surprise to the point of being at a loss.
He couldn't believe that such a proud father would actually bow to Qiu Shui.
"Mr. Yusuke, please stop doing this. You are tormenting me."
Qiu Shui made a false support gesture, "Mr. Yusuke, I'm sorry, I really have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Qiu Shui didn't want to stay here any longer to deal with Yusuke Yamada, nor did he want to deal with those media reporters.
So get out of here.
When the media saw Qiu Shui running away, they immediately chased after him.
In a short while, the competition venue was empty.
Only Yusuke Yamada and Yusuke Ichiro were left.
This scene made Yusuke and Yamada deeply feel the tragedy of having become losers.
Yusuke Yamada said to Yusuke Ichiro, "Let's go."
"Father, are we just going to let it go like this? If they ignore us like this and we spread the news, how will we still have any face?"
Yusuke Ichiro was very unwilling.
He had never felt treated so differently.
As the son of the chess god, he was supported by countless people wherever he went.
Always the focus of the crowd.
But now, those stupid guys actually abandoned them and went after Qiu Shui.
“Pah…”
Unexpectedly, Yusuke Yamada gave Yusuke Ichiro a loud slap in the face.
"Face? I lost my face when I challenged Qiu Shui."
Yusuke Yamada glared at Yusuke Ichiro.
"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I order you to put away those ridiculous ideas immediately. Don't target Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen anymore. Also, cancel the cooperative in China immediately. Bring our people back to Sakura Country."
"I……"
Yusuke Ichiro covered his face. Facing his father's angry gaze, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
He didn't expect that all his little thoughts were seen through.
Under Yusuke Yamada's threatening gaze, he had no choice but to lower his head reluctantly.
"yes."
The gate to the venue where Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao were competing was opened.
Two people walked out from inside.
This time is the halftime break. I love you. This means the first half of the game is over.
No, seeing Liang Zitao with his head down, following Lou Yuchen listlessly, he exuded an air of decadence.
Just then, Qiu Shui ran towards them in a hurry.
"Hurry, get in the car."
Qiu Shui grabbed them both and ran towards the exit.
Neither Lou Yuchen nor Liang Zitao reacted.
"What's wrong? Why are you running?"
Liang Zitao asked doubtfully.
But the body runs along honestly.
However, before Qiu Shui could answer him.
The media reporters behind caught up.
"Mr. Qiu, please don't run, we just want to do a simple interview."
"Mr. Qiu, please wait."
"Mr. Qiu..."
Liang Zitao was also shocked when he saw a large group of crazy reporters holding cameras and long guns.
"Oh my god, Qiu Shui, where have you been? How did you provoke such a large group of people?"
Qiu Shui said as he ran, "Get in the car first."
Fortunately, Qiu Shui and the other two exercise regularly.
Otherwise, I really can't outrun these reporters.
After the three got in the car, it immediately left the competition venue.
The media reporters who failed to catch up with the car could only stamp their feet in frustration.
By the time they realized they couldn't interview Qiu Shui and wanted to go back to interview Yusuke Yamada, Yusuke and Yamada had already left.
However, they did not interview the two parties involved.
However, because it was broadcast live, the news instantly exploded on the Internet.
Liang Zitao got into the car and took several breaths before he caught his breath in the passenger seat.
Then he turned around and asked Qiu Shui who was sitting in the back row.
"Qiu Shui, tell me quickly, how did you offend those people? Why are they chasing you?"
Lou Yuchen also looked at Qiu Shui in confusion.
Qiu Shui also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just beat Yusuke Yamada in chess. They are just exaggerating."
After hearing this, Liang Zitao screamed, "What? You beat Yusuke Yamada in chess? When did it happen? How come we didn't know?"
"Just after you and Lou Yuchen entered the game, Xiongjie Yamada and his son stopped me. In front of those reporters, they forced me to play chess. I had no choice but to play a game with Xiongjie Yamada. I won accidentally."
Qiu Shui shrugged.
"I won by accident?" Liang Zitao opened his mouth wide. "Don't make it sound like you won against an ordinary chess player. That's Yusuke Yamada."
However, Lou Yuchen felt that Liang Zitao's attitude was a bit too exaggerated.
"His chess skills are better than mine, so it's reasonable for him to beat Yusuke Yamada. There's nothing to be surprised about. You should be surprised if he loses, right?"
"Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it."
Liang Zitao scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Even Lou Yuchen, the chess god, can't beat Qiu Shui, so it would be strange if Yusuke Yamada could win.
"Qiu Shui, you just said that Yusuke and Yamada, father and son, and those people in between forced you to play chess?"
Lou Yuchen didn’t care at all who Qiu Shui played chess with, or whether he won or lost.
He only heard Qiu Shui say that Yusuke and Yamada, father and son, forced him to play chess in front of those reporters.
"Yes, those reporters did a live broadcast at the time. There should be news about it online now. You can check it out online."
Qiu Shui shook his slightly sore arms and couldn't help muttering, "I haven't exercised in the past few days, and my body is a little stiff."
"Are you okay?" Lou Yuchen heard his words and asked with concern: "Can I give you a massage?"
Qiu Shui waved his hand, "No need, it's just that I haven't played chess for such a long time. You've been playing chess for the whole morning, so how about it? Did you win too?"
When I saw Liang Zitao just now, I saw that he looked dejected, and I knew that the game should be over.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such an expression.
"Well, I win."
Even though Qiu Shui said no, Lou Yuchen still reached out and grabbed Qiu Shui's right hand.
Massage him carefully.
Qiu Shui said that he didn't need it, but he honestly turned his body to the side. It is very convenient for Lou Yuchen to give massage.
"Damn, that Yusuke Yamada, I didn't expect that an old senior would do such a shameless thing. Achen, look quickly."
Liang Zitao took the phone and turned around to hand it to Lou Yuchen.
As a result, I saw Lou Yuchen was concentrating on giving Qiu Shui a massage.
"What's there to see?" Lou Yuchen said coldly while massaging Qiu Shui's shoulders: "Yusuke Yamada is no longer the Yusuke Yamada of the past."
In the past, Yusuke Yamada would never do anything like forcing others to play chess.
"Indeed, Yusuke Yamada used to be such a proud man. Now..."
Liang Zitao paused, and then continued, "Ever since he allowed his son to come to China and open that cooperative, and allowed his son to poach players from other chess teams in China, he is no longer the former Yusuke Yamada."
Liang Zitao didn't believe that Yusuke Yamada didn't know what Yusuke Ichiro had done in China.
Liang Zitao even suspected that Yusuke Ichiro dared to do this because he was instructed by Yusuke Yamada.
"Achen, why do you think he became like this? Are those fame and fortunes really that important?"
"have no idea."
Lou Yuchen is no longer interested in Yusuke Yamada's affairs.
Lou Yuchen even regretted that he had spoken well of Yusuke Yamada in front of Qiu Shui some time ago.
As a result, this is what happened today.
Lou Yuchen never expected that there would be a day when he would make a mistake.
Maybe, Yusuke Yamada really loves Go.
It's just that when Go conflicts with his interests.
He still chose profit.
He used Go as a tool to gain benefits.
Therefore, Go is no longer the first priority in his heart.
A person like Yusuke Yamada will never be able to make any progress in his entire life. Because his chess piece has been trapped in place by interests.
This time, Yusuke Yamada lost the game, but he lost more than just the game.
And his reputation and face.
It was originally thought that he had lost the title of chess god again, and the people of Sakura Country would be unhappy.
After all, the people of Sakura Country have always been looking forward to Yusuke Yamada and Yusuke Ichiro being able to bring the title of chess god back to Sakura Country.
Now, not only has the title not been regained.
Before, Yusuke Ichiro's boasting had caused the people of Sakura Country to be ridiculed by those of Kimchi Country for a long time.
Now even Yusuke Yamada has lost.
If you lose, you lose. You even have to pick a beginner chess player from China.
In front of the whole world, he lost again to that Chinese chess player who was only at the beginner level.
This completely angered the people of Sakura Country.
A professional ninth dan forced a first dan to play chess in front of everyone.
Forget about forcing them, if you win, you can still save some face.
After all, the Chinese guy admitted it himself. He played chess better than the chess god Lou Yuchen.
Winning him would mean indirectly winning against Lou Yuchen.
Even if that Chinese guy lied, the people of Sakura Country could still take it seriously.
But not only did Yusuke not win, he also lost so much that he had to bow to that Shodan and admit defeat?
This is such a disgrace to the Sakura Country.
Now many people in Sakura Country are clamoring on the Internet for Yusuke and Yamada, father and son, to get out of Sakura Country.
Both Yusuke and Yamada remained silent. There was no response at all.
Of course, the people of the Korean Country will not miss such an opportunity to mock the Sakura Country.
There was actually a big publicity on the internet about how Qiu Shui, a first-dan chess player, defeated Yusuke Yamada, a ninth-dan chess player.
It even has many special text slogans.
Anyway, they were all spreading rumors about how Yusuke Yamada was disrespectful to his elders.
There is not a trace of the demeanor of a veteran in the Go world.
Not only did he bully a beginner, but in the end he was taught a lesson by a beginner.
Of course, the Chinese people also joined in the fun.
People in China saw the words used by the Korean Country to mock the Sakura Country. I actually think that the people of this Korean country have some cute qualities.
So people always say on the Internet that the friendship between China and the Sakura Country depends on the Kimchi Country.
The friendship between China and the Korean Country depends on the Sakura Country.
This is absolutely true.
Anyway, this time, because of the big event, Qiu Shui quickly became an internationally renowned chess player.
Although those people were cursing Yusuke Yamada for his incompetence and disrespect for his elders.
But no one denied his chess skills.
After all, his chess skills are indeed there.
And the one who defeated him, Qiu Shui, must be extremely powerful.
However, there are still many people who don’t believe that Qiu Shui is better than Lou Yuchen.
This is understandable.
After all, in the hearts of many Go players, Lou Yuchen is truly a very sacred existence.
But this doesn’t matter to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.
