Chapter 68 Involution and Scams
Chapter 68 Involution and Scams
Dongjiang City, Muhu Go Dojo.
After sending the notary You Chan out of the door, the three middle-aged men gathered together, looking at the girl who was shrinking her head in front of them, sighing longer and longer.
Among them, Yu Qingguang was particularly heartbroken.
After all, he had already taught a student who was out of touch with the times. If another one came out, the reputation of his own dojo would be ruined!
"I really don't understand! Why do you have to chat with Lin Ruixin about all that nonsense?!
"It's fine if you drag down the two brothers. They have always been very clear about their strength and would not argue with a little girl like you. But the last sentence is really... Oh!
"That's it! Chess Master Renlin said 'Don't let me know who you are' and left without looking back! Lao Shang and I couldn't chase him to ask for his opinion on the review!"
“W-Why…”
The girl whispered softly.
"You actually asked why?!"
Yu Qingguang was immediately furious. Rui Zhao was just a pretty girl. If she was teaching Monkey King back then, he would have dragged the student out and made her run laps as punishment!
"Don't you know that the person opposite you is the world's number one Internet celebrity Lin? This guy won't tolerate anyone jumping in front of him!"
Rui Zhao lowered his head and protested softly: "I, I haven't even remembered all the names and honors of the more famous players, let alone their nicknames on the Internet..."
"Then you can tell from your chess skills! Besides Xiao Lei, the only person who can play against you is Lin Ruixin! Stupid!"
"Woo——"
The girl couldn't help but puff up her lips when she was called stupid by the teacher again.
“But I, I do feel that he is a little bit weaker than Teacher Lei Qi, so I wondered if it was Teacher Dai Ran or National Master Xiong. I never thought that this [Unable to Jump] was Chess Saint Lin…”
"Hey! Don't talk like that black kid!"
Yu Qingguang quickly called Rui Zhao and started patching the wound.
"Let's take a step back and say, I have no problem with you calling others respectful, but when you call Monkey King, you can only call him Senior Brother, never use the title, understand!"
"Oh! I see, Teacher Yu!"
After eliminating the potential risks, Yu Qingguang asked in a deep voice:
"...Also, you just said that you felt that Lin Ruixin was weaker than Lei Qi? I'm afraid that's not necessarily true, right?"
Rui Zhao thought about it for a few seconds and gave her reasons.
"Well...actually, in terms of average level, I think they are both about the same, but Chess Master Lin has bigger fluctuations. His beautiful moves are indeed beautiful, but his bad moves are also a bit problematic.
"Like in the last game, he fought me for three pieces of ko in a row, as if he was deliberately guiding me. This is not something an ordinary chess player can do!
"But after the robbery was launched, I felt that he didn't make accurate judgments on some of the robbery materials, so I didn't make much profit after each robbery...
"Besides, isn't it important to make fewer mistakes in Go? Compared to the stable play of Master Lei Qi, the play of Master Lin, who is a master of one move at a time, he is undoubtedly at a disadvantage, right?"
After hearing what the student said, Lei, Yu and Li were all stunned.
Although the three of them felt that Lei Qi was now fully capable of competing with Lin Ruixin, the chess saint competition next month would definitely be a fierce battle.
But Rui Zhao actually said... Lei Qi is already stronger than Lin Ruixin?
That’s Lin Ruixin!
Lin Ruixin, who once achieved 28 consecutive wins in the professional arena!
Yu and Li both couldn't help but cast their eyes on Lao Lei Jiudan.
Lei Jingming saw that something was wrong and immediately defended himself:
"Why are you all looking at me!
"I don't even have that much confidence in that kid, so how could I possibly teach Rui Zhao such a messed up statement!"
"Even if you give up the initiative, you can hardly beat your son. Do you think it's okay?"
Faced with the squeeze from his bad friends, Lei Jingming remained indifferent.
"No! Because Lin Ruixin can definitely do it.
"Last year, Zou Yang and Liu Yuhong were given handicap and played against Lin Ruixin in four sets, but they didn't win any of them. Now, I am at a disadvantage when I play against them."
"Yeah...too."
Yu Qingguang nodded and wanted to continue asking Rui Zhao, but seemed to suddenly remember something and continued asking.
"How about the comparison between Lao Lei, Yangyang, Liu Yuhong and Bai Yinhua?"
Lei Jingming understood what his friend meant almost immediately. He sighed and answered truthfully.
“Although the gap is not that big, there is no doubt that Xiaobai is better.
"Zou Yang and Liu Yuhong are basically substitutes in the men's Weiqi League, and can only play four games at most. "Although Bai Yinhua is not considered strong among the three-dan players, he is indeed a three-dan player who has a high chance of reaching the eighth dan."
"Hmm...stronger than the strongest woman?"
Yu Qingguang suddenly fell into silence, and Li Wangyuan couldn't help but shake his head.
Rui Zhao couldn't help but feel curious when he saw this: "Uh, Teacher Yu, who is this Bai Yinhua? Why did you suddenly mention him?"
For Rui Zhao now, the common sense of the Go world is far from enough to cover the core players, so the name "Bai Yinhua" is still unfamiliar to her.
But in the extremely competitive sport of Go, a person who has never been heard of may already be a figure that many amateur players and even low-level professionals look up to.
Yu Qingguang looked at her and said calmly:
"You...will know soon."
...
...
"Vice Chairman Lu, I understand what you mean. I am very grateful to you and Chairman Shang for your concern. But regarding this matter... I have made up my mind."
Hearing the speech of the young man in front of him, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but frown.
"Xiao Bai, do you think that 300,000 yuan in compensation is not enough?"
"Oh, maybe that's the factor!"
Bai Yinhua smiled with a hint of self-mockery.
“It takes time for the various rules and regulations of the Chess Association to be voted on and implemented. It will probably take almost a year for you to fill the loopholes in the system.
"And with my chess skills, it shouldn't be a problem for me to dominate amateur competitions for a year and win hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money!"
Hundreds of thousands...
Hearing this number, Lu Wenjie fell silent for a moment.
Although this amount seems to be nothing in today's era, it is still not a casual number for the Go world - especially for these old guys who have retired.
After all, the annual sponsorship amount for the Weiqi League is only 10 million!
But after thinking for a long time, Lu Wenjie gritted his teeth and said:
"Then Xiaobai, if I can give you 800,000, you will be willing to give up your decision to quit, right?"
Bai Yinhua didn't seem to expect Lu Wenjie to say that, and there was a hint of surprise in his expression.
But he still shook his head.
"Vice Chairman Lu, this is not just a matter of money. You and Chairman Shang should not spend money..."
"Then what's the problem?"
At this time, Lu Wenjie's tone couldn't help but rise.
In his opinion, being willing to ask Bai Yinhua for 800,000 yuan in compensation was already a huge concession.
As a result, the other party still showed a shameless attitude, which made the usually gentle Lu Wenjie angry.
Seeing Lu Wenjie's expression, Bai Yinhua just signaled him to calm down, and then slowly began to speak:
"Vice Chairman Lu, I've been thinking a lot recently. Let's take this opportunity to talk."
"Sure." Lu Wenjie suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Involution, and... a Ponzi scheme."
【A warm reminder again】
Recently, many readers have speculated in the articles from time to time, "Is XX character the XX contestant in real life?"
My answer to this is highly unified: Absolutely not!
This article is about a parallel fictional world. Although I will refer to some real elements and settings to shape the characters, it absolutely does not mean to allude to real people.
Big guys can guess if they want, but I can tell you responsibly that there is no answer to your guesses...
