Chapter 48 [To show my love for you]
"Teacher Yu, how much is the prize money for this 'Urban Cup' competition? I don't see it in the competition rules..."
May 5th, afternoon, Muhu Go Dojo.
After Rui Zhao left school with a lot on his mind, his next step was still to practice chess, not intending to waste a single moment.
However, before the game this afternoon, the girl asked a small question.
"Huh? Why are you asking about this suddenly?"
Yu Qingguang, who was helping Rui Zhao with his Yiguo account, was puzzled by this question. He thought, isn't your main goal to get promoted to Industry 5? Why are you paying attention to the bonus again?
"I just... want to know a little bit." The beautiful girl was a little shy.
"The champion is 120,000, the runner-up is 50,000, the top four is 20,000, the top eight is 5,000, and the top sixteen is 2,000."
Yu Qingguang didn't think there was anything to hide, so he reported the prize money corresponding to each ranking.
"It's true that the prize money is quite generous this time, but it's only because the prize money is generous that it's a problem. If it was only 5,000 as the first prize, we wouldn't have to worry about Gu Mingqing and Wang Zhen coming over... Eh? Why do you look so excited?"
“Ah?!” Rui Zhao quickly suppressed the excitement on his face: “Well… I just think it’s good to be able to fight with a master!”
Yu Qingguang couldn't help but give the student a blank look:
"Rui Zhao, you are willing to play more games with strong players in Go, which is definitely a good thing, but you have to see when... Oh, by the way, what is your new nickname for the Yiguo Kingdom?"
Yu Qingguang pointed at the computer.
What he is doing now is to help Rui Zhao get a new Yiguo 9D account, otherwise it would be too troublesome to borrow an account for various chess training.
According to current network management requirements, all Yiguo accounts must be registered with real names. Logically, if Rui Zhao wants to have his own 9D account, he can only register and start from 3D and work his way up.
But, with so many things going on in this world, there are always loopholes to exploit.
For example, in the case of Yiguo registration, there is a loophole called "real-name authentication for unauthenticated users".
Simply put, after all, Yigu appeared before the comprehensive real-name system on the Internet, so it is naturally impossible for all the original user information to be invalidated.
The method adopted at that time was to require users who had not yet registered their real names to undergo real-name authentication before they could continue to use the product.
Then the matter was simple: as long as there was a 9D account before the real-name system, it could be directly bound to anyone's identity. As a long-term Go training dojo, Muhu Dojo happened to have several, so they directly gave one to Rui Zhao. At the same time, they also thoughtfully purchased a name change card to facilitate Rui Zhao to change his favorite nickname.
"As for the name... I'll type it myself!"
After saying that, Rui Zhao took over, entered the four words [Yizhaoqiyi] in the nickname column, and clicked confirm.
Yu Qingguang looked at the student and raised his eyebrows: "Do you think playing chess is interesting?"
"Yeah! Isn't it?"
Rui Zhao asked back, as if it was a matter of course.
"Go... is the most interesting thing in the world!"
"Oh! That's it! The Wood Fox, he deserves his reputation for nothing!"
Yu Qingguang responded with great pride, thinking that this student had a really good temper.
Although I had some impure motives when I decided to take her in...
But now it seems that it can be completely pure!
"Okay, next... I remember you added Zou Yang's WeChat the day before yesterday, right?"
"Oh, that's right." Rui Zhao nodded quickly.
"Send her a WeChat message and ask her to come online and add you as her friend!" Yu Qingguang instructed, "Play online chess with her this afternoon! This time, play first!"
Rui Zhao's eyes lit up: "With Sister Zou Yang? She, she has time to play chess with a lousy chess player like me?"
Unlike Lei Jingming and the dojo's fifth-dan teacher Zhou Mingming, Zou Yang is now a top-level female chess player. Logically, she has no time to serve as a sparring partner for Rui Zhao, who is of lower dan strength. Hearing this, Yu Qingguang immediately laughed:
"What a lousy chess player! You are her treasure now! Hurry up and make an appointment, don't waste time reviewing the game later!"
"Oh, okay!"
Although Rui Zhao still didn't understand why she was Zou Yang's "darling", she was very happy to be able to play against such a strong player, and she immediately and happily made an appointment with Zou Yang.
Yu Qingguang secretly left the online classroom and started another job:
Shake people!
Now that it has been decided to use the "sea of questions" tactic to improve Rui Zhao's chess skills and adaptability to competitions, there is a problem.
Where does the question come from!
Although it is possible to play chess with one person repeatedly and many times, it is too easy to adapt to the style of one person alone. If you always play with familiar people, the training effect will be greatly reduced later, so you must mobilize people to ensure that there are enough "question setters".
With only one month left before the battle with the "Four Amateur Heavenly Kings", any waste of practice efficiency is not allowed in Qingguang's opinion...
Damn it, an amateur tournament makes me more nervous than a world series final!
Yu Qingguang secretly complained and immediately began to count the resources in his hands.
Myself, Lao Lei, Yang Yang, Zhou Ming Ming, plus Yi Cheng Jian and Dong Si Hong who will be taking turns at the dojo tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...
How can there be enough with only six now?
Without saying a word, he made a phone call: He had been targeting this person for two days.
After a few busy tones, the other end of the line was connected:
"Hello, Teacher Yu! It's been a long time since we last contacted each other!"
Hearing this respectful voice, Yu Qingguang smiled evilly and said in a pretentious tone:
"Oh! It's been a long time!
"I thought you were busy with your World Championship and I was sorry to bother you. But I didn't expect you to have time to look for low-level players online, so I thought you weren't too busy and I had the courage to come find you...
"...Is that right? Sun Yixian?"
“Teacher Yu! How many times have I told you not to yell like that—”
As soon as this title came out, the other party wailed as if a sore spot had been poked.
"You can just call me Sun Wukong! You must never call me by a title!"
Hearing the student's frightened look, Yu Qingguang couldn't help but laugh.
The title [Yixian] was created two years ago, and the venue for the event was set in Deming City, the Greater Bay Area.
At that time, the specific name of this newly created title was discussed by many parties and various classics were cited. Finally, it was decided to be "Yixian", which combines traditional culture, regional characteristics and commemorative significance.
What’s even more coincidental is that the chess player who won the first knockout tournament of “Yixian” happened to be named Sun. This coincidence also made the chess world and even the news media marvel.
However, if this matter is reported in the media, it will be seen as a good omen, and it is easy to say and sound good.
But for Sun Yi, the final title winner, it might not be such a good experience.
When other title holders are teased about their titles, they just think it is a joke, and those who are thick-skinned may even go along with it.
But when he was teased, he felt like a heavy burden was weighing on him, and he dared not even breathe. Therefore, the chess community tacitly agreed not to tease Sun Yi about his title, lest he really get angry and jump up and down.
However, as Sun Yi's teacher, Yu Qingguang is still qualified to talk to him occasionally.
Seeing that the student was already wailing, Yu Qingguang did not intend to bully him too badly. After all, he would have to exploit him later! He immediately changed his tone:
"...Heh, you still know you are Monkey King? If you don't know, you would think you got a title and went to heaven!
"Come here! Let me ask you! On the night of the 1st, did you open a small account to go play chess with [You Feng Lai Yi]?"
There will be three updates today, and I will try to focus more on the main storyline in the future!
But tomorrow I will still update twice as usual. I may not be able to find any fish during work on weekdays...
