After the first round in the morning, the 23 winners drew lots again. Because there was one extra person, one would be bye. Everyone was guessing, and no one knew who was so lucky.
At noon, Wei posted the match list outside the door. The second round would continue in the afternoon, with a total of 11 tables against Yi. The person who had a bye was named Liu Sandiao.
"Why is it this bastard?" An old man said angrily after seeing it.
The person next to him hissed after hearing this.
Song Yuehua listened to the noise outside and was curious about who this Liu Sandiao was.
When it was time for the afternoon game, Master Yi started looking at the chess again.
"Master Yi, wasn't it decided this morning?" Song Yuehua asked.
Master Yi picked up the pen and said silently, "Read it again to be more cautious."
Song Yuehua nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
The chess game ended in the afternoon. There were 11 winners plus Liu Santiao who had a bye, a total of 12 people. After these 12 people drew lots, the list was posted on the store door and the competition continued the next day.
After Song Yuehua posted it, she specifically explained, "The levels of all participating chess players have been determined and will be posted on the wall of the store tomorrow. Anyone interested can come into the store to see it tomorrow."
At this time, someone raised the question, "Wouldn't it be unfair to use a lottery method?"
Song Yuehua explained with a smile, "Luck is also a part of strength. If you miss the Tianyuan Award this time, you can improve your ranking. When the ranking competition comes, we will use a round-robin system to ensure that everyone gets a turn. It is absolutely fair and just."
After hearing this, no one knew what to say. The prizes were paid by the host, so naturally they could only do as they said.
Although they are all envious of the prizes this time, after all, whoever their opponent is, they have to choose by themselves. If they catch a strong opponent, they can only think that they are not lucky enough.
There was one old man who could read among them. After putting down the chess game, he ran to the door to take a look.
"Who is the old man against?"
"There is no such name. Old man Zuo said to Xiang Chen..." The old man who spoke looked around and asked, "Who is this Xiang Chen?"
The companion below shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. What a pity that Confucius didn't come."
"Yes, if Confucius comes, there will be no suspense."
Song Yuehua looked at the list of players for tomorrow's match, and Xiaobao was on the list.
"Xiaobao..."
Xiaobao, who had just finished playing chess and was about to resume his game, heard this and ran over and said, "Big sister, I have to come tomorrow..."
"Okay," Song Yuehua said helplessly, "I didn't tell you not to come."
That night, in order to avoid running back and forth, Song Yuehua took Xiaobao and moved into the You Mansion.
This was Xiaobao’s first time to come to the You Mansion. After the two sisters washed up, Xiaobao climbed onto the bunk bed in the main room, and the two sisters lay on the bed.
Xiaobao moved over, hugged Song Yuehua and said, "Sister, this house is so beautiful. Let's bring Dabao here next time."
"Okay," Song Yuehua asked, "If Xiaobao likes it, I won't sell this house to you."
Xiao Bao buried his face in Song Yuehua's arms, then said with a grin, "If you want to sell it, just sell it. I'll buy it back when I grow up and make money."
Song Yuehua reached out her hand, hugged Xiaobao into her arms, patted her on the back and said, "Go to sleep. Let's go to the chess hall early tomorrow."
"Um."
The next morning, as soon as the chess hall opened, everyone came. They didn't come to play chess, but mainly wanted to look at the level table listed yesterday.
"Hey, does it mean the bigger the number, the more powerful it is, or the smaller the number, the more powerful it is?"
"The smaller, the more powerful."
"I'm only level 10, isn't this looking down on me?"
"Why are you shouting? Old man Zuo is only level 6."
Everyone was discussing the level table, and although no one was playing chess, it was still quite lively.
Then several chess players arrived, and the game started only after Master Yi came over.
The third round of the tournament was held in the morning, with a total of 12 people and 6 chess tables.
In order to facilitate viewing of the game, the chess tables are placed apart, with benches placed on the sides, so that people can watch the game without disturbing the players too much.
"Hey, how do we get down here..." someone suddenly spoke.
"Shh!"
The person next to him immediately whispered, "Haven't you heard of watching a chess game without saying a word?"
The man was still a little unconvinced, so an old man behind him pulled him out and pointed at the counter, saying, "You are so good, let's play a rematch?"
"Recover if you want!"
Song Yuehua recognized the old man. This was Mr. Bai who was playing chess with Xiaobao at the door.
Except for a few exceptions, the whole morning's competition was harmonious. Some people were so excited about watching the chess that they found themselves playing chess with others, copied the chess pieces and started playing by themselves.
After the third round in the morning, the winners were Xiaobao, Liu Sandiao, Xiang Chen, Zuo Siye, Luo Guo, and Yu Duocai.
Song Yuehua recognized this Xiang Chen. Xiaobao's first chessboard was bought by her and Ji Ming at Xiang Chen's house.
It's been a while since we last met, and Xiang Chen doesn't look well.
Yu Duocai and Luo Guo were both students of Bailu Academy.
Mr. Zuo Si is the father of the cloth shop owner. He has nothing to do on weekdays, so his only hobby is playing chess. His chess skills are relatively good among his chess friends.
Therefore, the most popular person here is none other than Mr. Zuo Si.
As for Liu Sandiao, I heard that this guy is a scoundrel.
While pouring tea, Song Yuehua heard a lot of things. Liu Sandiao originally learned chess just to win money from a few old men. Later, others always lost both the game and the money, and they felt uncomfortable and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
After the lots were drawn, the opponents came out: Xiaobao against Xiang Chen, Zuo Siye against Liu Sandiao, and Luo Guo against Yu Duocai.
