Chapter 55 Addiction

Chapter 55 Addiction
"Good morning! Teacher Lei, Teacher Yu!"

Saturday, April 5.

When Lei Jingming and Yu Qingguang arrived at the Muhu Dojo early in the morning, Rui Zhao was still waiting in his own classroom to set up the chess pieces. When he saw the two of them coming, he immediately stood up to greet them, his tone full of energy.

Lei Jingming couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows when he saw Rui Zhao like this:
"Didn't you play three games of chess in a row yesterday? Why are you here so early today?"

"No, no?" The girl tilted her head.

"Isn't it impossible...Aren't you tired?" Lei Jingming couldn't help asking.

The girl just blinked briskly:

"Tired? Why would I be tired? Yesterday we played two slow games and one fast game. Teacher Yu told me that we would play three slow games a day..."

"Three slow chess games a day?" Lei Jingming looked at Yu Qingguang in disbelief when he heard this: "Really? You arranged three slow chess games for a girl a day?"

Slow chess is compared to fast chess, and the main difference between the two is time.

Slow chess usually lasts at least two hours, or even longer, while fast chess usually lasts for one hour.

Like the two slow chess games that Rui Zhao played against Ni Jue and Sun Yi yesterday, the playing time alone was nearly four and a half hours.

In the subsequent review, Rui Zhao tortured Ni Jue for another two hours, and Sun Yi also tortured him for an hour before he was willing to let go. The total time was almost twelve hours!

After two slow games of chess, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Fortunately, Mr. Jin was in good health and had taken a rest in the afternoon for this game, so it wasn't a big problem for him to switch to a quick game of more than two hours, otherwise he would have been a busy old man this evening.

As for Rui Zhao, he worked non-stop. Apart from eating and going to the bathroom, he did not take any breaks. It can be said that he worked from 8 am to 10:30 pm.

With this intensity, some young men who are striving for a high level may be able to withstand it, but girls basically cannot.

Even though Zou Yang was very hardworking back then, twelve hours a day was already the limit.

As a result, Rui Zhao played three games of chess yesterday, but he was still here early today, and even seemed to be in good spirits!

It's outrageous!
Yu Qingguang was quite embarrassed when he was questioned by his bad friends. In fact, he also knew that his plan was not very scientific:

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. I was really afraid that Lao Shang would be stubborn... If Rui Zhao couldn't make it to the qualifying tournament, it would be a huge problem!
"It's only a month, if you want to see some significant improvement, you have to work hard!"

Lei Jingming still refused to give in: "But this slow chess thing, even if you just simply review the game, the next time it will take almost five hours. Three games a day, fourteen or fifteen hours? You're going to kill me!"

Fourteen or fifteen hours, some high school students would think it’s nothing and sneer at it.

But those who have really practiced chess know that if you really have to play three slow games a day and review them, it’s not a question of whether it’s hard or not…

That’s really terrible!

"Well……"

Yu Qingguang, who was always eloquent, couldn't help but hesitate at this moment.

Rui Zhao, who was standing by, didn't realize anything was wrong at this time, and spoke out to support Yu Qingguang:

"Teacher Lei, in the short term... fourteen or fifteen hours a day is okay? I heard that some boys can play games for two or three days in an Internet cafe without sleeping!"

Lei Jingming glared at the only student: "So they are addicted to fighting! Can they be the same?"

“But isn’t chess addictive?”

Rui Zhao asked back with some doubt.

"Uh……"

After hearing this, Lei Jingming and Yu Qingguang were both at a loss for words and looked at Rui Zhao with complicated expressions.

"Why are you two staring at me like that?"

Rui Zhao was confused for a moment and subconsciously shrank back.

"Teacher Lei? How about we start the game this morning right away? Didn't Teacher Yu say that he has an appointment with Sister Zou Yang to play the first game this afternoon?"

After the two exchanged glances, Lei Jingming squinted his lips and was the first to react:
"Hey, okay, let's hurry up then!"

...

...

"Why is 'Little Sheep' giving up the first game again?!"

Qiunan Youth Apartment, Jinling City. The young woman who was setting up the chess pieces in the room saw the message popping up on the Yiguo APP and couldn't help but complain.

She was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a neat high ponytail, and her every move exuded a sense of heroism. Therefore, when she was awarded the title of "Mulan", the media praised her as the reincarnation of Mulan.

The "Mulan" of the present time is naturally Liu Yuhong, the only female student of King Shangqi and the senior sister of Lei Qi, the ninth dan.

However, Liu Yuhong now frowned, his face full of confusion.

As one of the two female stars, she and Zou Yang can be said to be both enemies and friends.

On the chess country, the two big accounts added each other as friends, and Liu Yuhong also set Zou Yang as a special follower. This made it convenient for him to watch the chess that he was interested in when he saw his opponent playing it.

However, in order to prevent others from knowing too much, professional chess players often use secondary accounts to play games. She could only watch a few online chess games played by Zou Yang throughout the year.

But things have been interesting recently. These days, Zou Yang used his main account to play two online chess games in a row, and both of them were against an unknown 9D player who gave him the first move!

This made Liu Yuhong confused.

Although the "little sheep" is not so strong-willed, he shouldn't be so decadent!
It's only been a few days? He's already given up the first move twice!
Is this what they call “You don’t understand the joy of bullying weak players”?
Liu Yuhong was puzzled for a moment, so he immediately stood up and walked to the computer, and followed in to watch the game.

At the beginning of the game, both sides were calm during the layout phase.

Liu Yuhong, who had a little spare time, took the opportunity to observe the opponent of [Little Lamb].

...【Yi Zhao Qi Yi】? I haven't heard of it before.

The last time [The Phoenix Comes] was also...

Last time, Liu Yuhong had planned to ask his junior brother Lei Qi about the identity of [You Feng Lai Yi], but who knew that he didn't find out the identity, and the junior brother himself had an inexplicable emotional breakdown and is now in seclusion to rebuild his Taoist heart!
How wicked!

Liu Yuhong frowned slightly and couldn't help but click on Yi Zhaoqiyi's personal information to read it.

This account has been registered for seven years, with a total win rate of 44%. It looks like a 9D that couldn't be more ordinary.

The total number of games is 273... This is a bit low!

As for the situation of the last three days...

? ! ! !
When Liu Yuhong saw the game situation in the past three days, he was stunned and wiped his eyes quickly.

After taking another closer look, Liu Yuhong confirmed that he was not mistaken.

[Yizhaoqiyi] There were three games in total in the past three days.

I played against [Mao Rongrong] first and lost by six and a half points.

He was given the first move and played against [The Monkey King Shines], but lost by seven points.

I played against [Jin Hengyi] first and lost by two and a half points.

Let’s not talk about the first white ID [Fluffy] for now, the key lies in the next two games...the opponents all have silver IDs!

It would be fine if they were both silver IDs. The most important thing is that these two IDs rarely appear on the Yiguo platform!

Liu Yuhong naturally knew the ID [The Monkey King Shines], which was Sun Yi, the current holder of the title of [Chess Immortal]!
This guy is the same as Lei Qi, his main account is almost never online, but the reasons are very different.

Lei Qi follows King Shangqi's personality and is usually low-key.

As for Sun Yi, there were too many strange things happening outside the chess board when he was playing chess, and all kinds of anecdotes made people laugh, so he decisively put on various vests to show off his face.

As a result, such a Monkey King actually logged into his main account and played chess with an unknown 9D by giving him instructions?

The ID [Jin Hengyi] is even more outrageous... As an insider, Liu Yuhong naturally knows that this ID nickname uses the real name of the holder.

But then the question arises: People in the professional circle know that Jin Hengyi doesn't like playing chess online because he feels uncomfortable with his eyes. So this ID has been basically a decoration for a long time, and he has never played a few games properly.

But in the end... Mr. Jin also went online to play a game with this [Yi Zhao Qi Yi]? !

And if we consider that [Yi Zhao Qi Yi] is currently being taught by a famous female celebrity...

Liu Yuhong's expression suddenly became unnatural.

...Oh my god.

What is the background of this [Yi Zhao Qi Yi]? !
