Chapter 58 Impact? What impact can it have?
Well, it seems like there is no chance of beating the little girl in this game of chess!
After finishing the big quandary, Shang Chaotian, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help but sigh.
Although I had expected this result, when it really happened before my eyes, I felt only a hint of helplessness and unwillingness.
Getting old...
After all, I am old.
It is obvious that eight years ago, when he was 39 years old, he was still in good enough shape to play one-on-one with Lin Ruixin, who had not yet reached her peak. He even had the advantage in the third set!
But now, he is so bad that he can't even give way to the little girl!
Shang Chaotian couldn't help but shook his head again.
Through the game just now, he could clearly feel that his chess sense and judgment were still there, and there was basically no obvious decline.
But...it's not moving much anymore.
In situations where conflicts are intense, when he has plenty of time at the beginning he can use it to calculate the changes and choose the best move.
But as time was running out, by the end of the middle game, facing many attacks from Rui Zhao, he could only slow down to ensure that he did not make big mistakes. However, this brought his momentum of pursuing the goal to an abrupt halt, and he even lost one and a half points in some areas.
Shang Chaotian was extremely powerless in this regard.
Ha! Originally, I was thinking about playing a game with Lei Qi before the chess saint competition, and using my little fame to boost his reputation.
But now it seems that it’s a good thing that he was put into “seclusion” because of Rui Zhao’s matter... otherwise it would be shameful to beat a bad chess player like me!
Shang Chaotian won the game step by step and firmly. At the end, the black chess piece won by three points after being given the first move.
Well, I lost three points first...
hiss--
It seems that among the group of people who came to play chess, besides Mr. Jin, Rui Zhao and I are the worst? !
Uh, no, no, Shang Chaotian, calm down!
Isn’t it that Xiao Lei is at the bottom of the second game with a handicap?
Anyway, I'm not the worst!
Shang Chaotian decisively used his beloved student as psychological comfort - anyway, that kid wouldn't know that he was thinking this way...
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Brother Tian, is it over? Can I come in now?"
"Oh, sure!"
Lu Wenjie pushed the door open and couldn't help smiling when he saw Shang Chaotian.
"Brother Tian, don't even talk about the boys now. It looks like the girls are hard to deal with!"
"I've known this for a long time: two years ago, I couldn't beat Yu Hong."
Shang Chaotian couldn't help but sigh again.
"Go is so simple and pure. No matter how many honors you have won before, as long as you reduce your investment in it, your chess skills will drop. To be honest, I am already one of the slowest to drop."
Lu Wenjie nodded and said, "That's true. Ever since Xiao Lei no longer needed to be taken care of, you haven't focused on the chessboard at all. You can still maintain this level until now. I feel that only Lin Ruixin is better than you in maintaining the state.
"I just live stream and post on my blog when I have nothing to do, and I can still be ranked first in the domestic ranking. I have never seen such a scene before..."
"No way, God has given me this." Shang Chaotian smiled bitterly, "When I played the chess game with him, I felt that this kid's talent was really extraordinary, but he just lacked confidence and recognition... Hmm?"
Shang Chaotian was chatting casually when suddenly Lu Wenjie's phone rang.
He raised his chin slightly, signaling Lu Wenjie to just answer it, but he didn't expect Lu Wenjie to glance at his phone and then look at him:
"Well, if you speak of the devil, he will appear."
"catch!"
Lu Wenjie nodded and put the phone to his ear to answer it.
"Hey, Ruixin! Why aren't you looking for me on the live broadcast this late at night?
"Hmm? Chairman Shang? Uh... he's next to me. No! What do you mean by 'I knew you two were scabs together every day'?! Aren't you really busy with work?
"...Ah, let me see if it's convenient for him!"
At this time Lu Wenjie looked at Shang Chaotian again, but the chess king, who seemed quite tired, did not hesitate at all and immediately stretched out his hand.
"…Chairman Shang is free! Let him listen instead!"
Shang Chaotian took the phone handed to him by Lu Wenjie and answered it in a calm tone.
"Rui Xin, I'm Shang Chaotian."
"Hello, Chairman Shang! You are still as skilled as ever in your last game of chess! Congratulations!"
"...Let's get straight to the point." Shang Chaotian's eyebrows twitched slightly. He was too lazy to chat with this part-time internet celebrity who was particularly good at talking about irrelevant things.
"Ah, then I'll just ask directly: Who is [Yizhao Qiyi]?" "... Just a junior, you will get to know her later." Shang Chaotian said casually.
"That's it..."
There was no change in Lin Ruixin's tone, and it seemed that she was not surprised at Shang Chaotian's answer at all.
"Then... what qualifications do I need to play a game of chess with [Yizhao Qiyi]?"
"Qualifications?" This time Shang Chaotian was obviously confused.
"Yes, I just looked at his chess records for the past three days. If I want to play a game of chess with him, it seems that I won't be able to do it without some reputation!"
Shang Chaotian thought about it and said truthfully: "Well, it does require some ability! She is short on time recently. If her strength is not strong enough, I am afraid that I really can't arrange to play with her recently..."
"Oh, the score is so big!"
Lin Ruixin sighed slightly.
"…Then let me ask!
"The No. 1 in the domestic rating, the seven-time world champion, the four-time [chess saint] champion and the current [chess saint] title holder...
"With such an identity... can I play a game with him?"
...
...
"Go! Why can't you go!"
Dongjiang City, Muhu Go Dojo.
Yu Qingguang, who was standing at the door answering the phone, glanced at Lei Jingming, Li Wangyuan and Rui Zhao who were reviewing and discussing in front of the computer, and agreed without hesitation.
"…I'm just short of a 'question'! Aren't you happy when a wild expert comes to your doorstep?! Hey, why do I suddenly feel that there seems to be nothing wrong with Rui Zhao's practice of catching any expert he sees…ah, I just said it casually, nothing!
"Lin Ruixin... What's wrong with Lin Ruixin? Do you think he is definitely better than your student now? Yes, he can do it anytime... Hey! Not tomorrow afternoon! Have you forgotten that Rui Zhao still has to go to the 'Metropolitan Cup' auditions?! Yes! She doesn't even have a rank, so she can only start from the auditions!
"...Yes! Tomorrow night or on weekdays is fine, you can make another appointment with him!
"Oh, by the way, after you finish your appointment, hurry up and go into the voice chat to review the game! A bunch of old and young people are waiting for you here! You are not good at playing chess anymore, but you can't be worse at reviewing the game, right?"
After hanging up the phone, Yu Qingguang showed a subtle expression.
Even Lin Ruixin was alarmed...
As expected of me!
It seems like what I’ve learned about communication and marketing with my son over the past few years has not been in vain!
Yu Qingguang smiled, half proud and half self-deprecating.
Then he walked back into the online chess classroom, put away his half-self-deprecating look, and said to Rui Zhao proudly:
"Rui Zhao, what did I say? In addition to Liu Yuhong, another expert has approached Chairman Shang and said he wants to challenge him to a duel!"
"Ah! Really?!"
The girl's eyes flickered with excitement.
"I'm right! As long as the opponent keeps using his big account to play publicly, new masters will automatically come to us! It's like a perpetual motion machine!"
Seeing the student's performance, Lei Jingming and Li Wangyuan on the side looked a little hesitant.
Lei Jingming thought for a moment and reminded:
"Rui Zhao, although this decision was ultimately made by you, you should know that being too noticed isn't always a good thing...
"Outside public opinion and reputation can easily have an impact on a person's psychology. You must pay attention to this!"
"Ah? Impact? What impact can it have?"
Rui Zhao tilted his head, completely unaware.
What influence can external things have on one's mind? Isn't it enough to just ignore it? How simple!
It would be a psychological breakdown if you couldn't figure out the part no matter what!

【Author’s words】
Because I will start writing the Urban Cup in the next chapter, I have been working hard these past two days to revise it. It is finally ready before the DDL. Otherwise, Sister An An will not be able to appear in the next chapter...
As a result, after I had finally finished the revisions, I received the "bad news" yesterday that I was actually selected for the second round of recommendations!
So about the four updates in the second round... I have revised the text so much, so it is considered as enough, right?
(Being flown by the big guy PIA)
Ahem (gets up)! I'll save this as soon as possible. I don't have any saved now. It may take some time to fulfill this fourth update. Sorry.
