Dad, Please Try a Little Harder

  Chapter 10 Five hundred thousand ah five hundred thousand, four years of college can't be spent!

  Zhao Baiyu was very surprised. She herself doesn't know how to play chess, but she knows about my grandfather's chess skills. When my grandfather was in Zhonghai, he played all the invincible players in their community without losing.

   Now he will lose to a high school student who is about the same age as him? Could it be Li Zhiyi again?

  Li Zhiyi is the younger sister of her senior brother Li Zihe. It is said that she is a mathematical genius, proficient in chess and Go.

  After the boy left, Zhao Baiyu asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, who is that boy?"

"He, his name is Qian Quan. His family is in Guangming Town. Like your mother, he also studied in No. 1 Middle School. He seems to have been admitted to Haidong Normal University in the college entrance examination this year, so he works here at the KFC store to earn living expenses during the summer vacation. .”

   "Shanghai Normal University? There are many students from Shanghai Normal University in our class." Zhao Baiyu was slightly surprised, "Is he good at chess?"

   "It should be the most powerful one I have encountered so far." Master Hu said frankly.

   "Okay." Zhao Baiyu himself is a martial arts genius, so he has a relatively high acceptance of genius.

   "It's also a good-looking talent." Master Hu added casually.

   "Indeed, I rarely meet such a good-looking boy in Zhonghai." Zhao Baiyu didn't hold back.

   Master Hu said with a smile: "In the future, you will all study in Zhonghai, and if you can get in touch with each other again, just treat it as a friend."

  Zhao Baiyu shook his head: "Forget it, I don't like dealing with polite boys, you should know, grandpa."

   Master Hu laughed noncommittally.

   Zhao Baiyu's interest in Qian Quan stopped here, and now she is going to the gym to practice.

   "Xiaoyu," Lord Hu suddenly stopped Zhao Baiyu, "I don't know anything about martial arts, but I have summed up a life experience over the years and want to tell you..."

   "What?" Zhao Baiyu stopped and looked back at his grandfather.

"We often say that high places are unbearably cold, and it is easy to fall when climbing high. This is true, but as long as we always maintain a little arrogance in our hearts, our feet are always stuck in the mud, and our eyes are often released, then even Standing at the top, you also have a bottom in your heart.”

  Zhao Baiyu thought for a second, nodded and said: "Yes, Grandpa, I remember!"

  …

  Qian Wenlin, who is going to participate in the chess competition tomorrow, showed an excellent state of preparation today.

   Not only did he not touch chess all day long, nor did he read the chess records, he even rejected Qian Quan's proposal to play two games to help him warm up.

  At the end of the day, I cook, read books, write and write, watch TV programs, and really enter the vacation mode.

  Question is to maintain a peaceful competitive mentality.

   And he has a scientific argument:

"Humans have two learning modes, conscious acquisition and subconscious acquisition. What we can control and output under normal circumstances is the knowledge acquired by the conscious mind, while those flashes of inspiration in the limit state are the accumulation of the subconscious mind. Also called supernormal performance.

   "So, a good learner should give the subconscious enough space to absorb and digest knowledge."

  Qian Quan felt that he was learning a very new knowledge, so he was convinced.

  The next day, Qian Quan went to work as usual, while Qian Wenlin and the Chess Club team went to the city to participate in the competition.

  Qian Quan knew his father's strength and was not worried about his promotion in the first round.

   Sure enough, when shifts changed at noon, Qian Quan went to the staff lounge to check his mobile phone, and found that his father had sent a message in the "Happy Family" group: "Promote to the top 12."

  Qian Quan replied with a thumbs up emoji, and then told Ding Linlang the news, but the latter replied directly: "I'm in Mingzhu, I just watched the game."

  Qian Quan: "Did you go to the scene?"

  Ding Linlang: "Yes, are you coming?"

  Qian Quan: "If my dad enters the finals, I will ask for leave."

  Ding Linlang: "OK, when the uncle finishes the competition, let's go to the zoo together."

   After get off work in the afternoon, Qian Quan went to play chess with Lord Hu as agreed, and saw a girl beside him. The girl had a bee waist, a monkey back, a crane mantis shape, and a ponytail. Her whole body was full of youthful vitality.

   It looks familiar, I vaguely saw it somewhere.

   "This is my granddaughter, Zhao Baiyu, who grew up in Zhonghai and was admitted to Zhonghai University this year." Master Hu gave a brief introduction.

   "Hello." Qian Quan waved his hand in greeting.

   "Hello." Zhao Baiyu responded gracefully.

   The next step is to play chess.

  Master Hu probably didn’t want to lose face in front of his granddaughter, so he put in extra effort in the game, and he didn’t lose in the end—

   Draw.

   "It's rare." Master Hu let out a sigh of relief.

  Qian Quan smiled and said, "We will fight again tomorrow."

   "Fight again tomorrow." Master Hu looked at Qian Quan with a deep smile, his eyes showing admiration.

  After Qian Quan left, Master Hu asked Zhao Baiyu: "Xiaoyu, do you know why he played chess with me today?"

   "Because you play more seriously today?"

"It has nothing to do with that," Master Hu shook his head and smiled, "He is practicing a sentence, a sentence that is equally important to you—" paused, "'Since you come out of the cave, you are invincible, you have to forgive others and forgive others '..."

  Zhao Baiyu seemed to have noticed something, and said, "Grandpa, I found that you really appreciate him."

   "Yeah, I'm even thinking of recommending him to your dad."

  Zhao Baiyu had a slightly surprised expression.

  Although she doesn't know much about her father's business in Zhonghai, she knows how important grandpa is to her parents.

  Because when father and mother are talking about troublesome things, they often say a word: "Why don't you ask our father?"

   "But why, because he is good at chess?" Zhao Baiyu asked.

   "You will know later." Master Hu did not continue to reveal the secret.

  …

  Qian Wenlin continued to advance in the top 12 match in the morning and the top 6 match in the afternoon on the second day, winning three games in a row and successfully entered the final.

  According to the arrangement of the organizer, in addition to the competition, there will be performances and awards ceremony in the final.

   When Qian Quan learned that his father had entered the finals, he immediately asked the manager for leave, and he wanted to go to the scene to cheer for his father.

  By the way, witness the interaction between Dad receiving the bonus and the system issuing the bonus.

   "Today's three contestants, including the uncle, have not lost a game so far, especially the one with the jade string in his hand, who wins quickly every time..."

  Before the official start of the competition, there was a leader's speech, and Ding Linlang took the opportunity to introduce Qian Quan.

  “Moreover, he has a very arrogant attitude. He refused to shake hands with his opponent several times, and he would deliberately stand up before winning to put pressure on his opponent.”

   "It's just that the chess skills are poor." Qian Quan said.

   "Yes, but very strong."

  Qian Quan said with a smile: "My dad has exceeded expectations if he can enter the top three. Let's wait and see."

"Um."

  The leader on the stage finished speaking, and the game started.

  Three players, two-two battles, the champion who wins all, the runner-up who wins a game, and the third runner-up who loses all.

  Because there are a lot of media and audience present today, the atmosphere at the scene is quite tense.

  Drawing lots before the match, Qian Wenlin and another young player played first.

  The scene fell silent.

  The audience watched the game through the big screen.

  Different from normal chess games, each move in a formal game has a time limit of 30 seconds. There is a timer next to the chessboard. Take a picture after you finish the move. If you don’t move after 30 seconds, you are giving up.

  The rapid chess in the extra round is 10 seconds to move one step.

   Those who are good at slow chess will suffer a lot in the competition.

  On the big screen, the two players have already walked five or six steps.

   are all in the stage of planning and layout.

   "Uncle's start is very steady." Ding Linlang commented in a low voice.

Qian Quan nodded in agreement. Dad's game is based on the well-accumulated "Wei Qing style". opponent.

   Sure enough, after another six or seven steps, Dad started to attack. Most of the big chess pieces were moving, and he was bound to force the opponent into a corner with all his strength.

  Qian Quan approached Ding Linlang and said softly, "I won."

  After three moves, the opponent stares at the board and deduces how to survive until the 30 seconds are over, and the opponent has no move.

   The outcome has been decided.

   "Concession." Qian Wenlin smiled gently.

   After the first game, there will be a half-hour break, tea break and performance.

   In the second round, the loser of the first round and another player will play.

  The young player is desperate and seems to be trying to confuse his opponent with a mutant opening.

  The middle-aged contestant with the jade string in his hand had a vague smile, and he responded freely, without leaving any opportunity for the opponent to take advantage of it. He reversed the situation in a few steps and realized the overall initiative.

  The young players saw that the general situation was over, and they conceded the loss in the middle game.

  The third runner-up was born.

   "It's really okay." Qian Quan said.

   "Do you think he can beat Uncle?"

   "Let's open five-five."

   "Can you win?"

   "Can't win."

   "So confident."

   "After the game is over, I'll ask him to show you the next set?"

   "Sure." Ding Linlang's eyes lit up.

  Because the second game ended quickly, the deciding game started soon.

  The tense atmosphere at the scene also reached its peak.

  The chess game between Qian Wenlin and Yu Chuan Zhongnian also went as Qian Quan expected, the first game ended after several inextricable fights.

  In the subsequent extra game of fast chess, Qian Wenlin missed a move in the middle of the game, and was chased by the opponent while taking advantage of the victory, and finally lost like a mountain.

  The champion and runner-up are also all decided.

   "You almost beat me." The middle-aged man with bracelets smiled and said to Qian Wenlin, "But unfortunately, I won't make mistakes twice."

   "Congratulations." Qian Wenlin ignored his impolite words.

  The game is over, and the awards will follow.

   The champion will receive 100,000 yuan plus a trophy, the runner-up 50,000 yuan plus a trophy, and the third place 30,000 yuan plus a trophy.

   Prizes are all cash!

   Still pretty exciting, but—

  Whoever sits down and has the fastest heartbeat, Wanghuai Qianquan is pounding.

   At the moment when the leader handed over the bonus and the trophy to Qian Wenlin, the system unexpectedly prompted:

  【Ding, the system detected that your father received a bonus of 50,000 yuan, and you will be rewarded with 500,000 yuan! 】

  Qian Quan felt like his heart was about to jump out.

  500,000!

  Four years of university tuition and miscellaneous expenses and living expenses can not be used up, so you can directly read the undergraduate, master, and doctoral programs.
