After Li Cai won against Lee Sedol, he entered the quarterfinals of the Samsung Cup.

The Samsung Cup quarterfinals are in September, and there is still a month to go, and Li Cai's opponent is his other senior brother Wang Lei, who is also a fierce chess player.

And because of Li Cai, Lee Sedol, who should have won the Samsung Cup, was eliminated, and China had five chess players in the quarterfinals, while South Korea only had three chess players entered, which can be said to be a good situation.

Li Cai, who returned to the domestic chess academy, no matter which chess player saw Li Cai, gave a thumbs up and said: "Well done!" Ruthlessly extinguish the arrogance of these guys, and see if they dare to take our Chinese chess players lightly.

Even Ma Xiaochun, who was harsh to Li Cai, praised Li Cai with a smile.

Teacher Nie Whirlwind was very happy that Li Cai had won, but on the surface, he had a serious expression and said to Li Cai: "You won very lucky this time, although you won against South Korea's Lee Sedol, but you can't be complacent, one mountain is more high, and there are many more powerful chess players, you must not be slack off on yourself." ”

Although Nie Lao preached to Li Cai, because Li Cai was so young, he was afraid that he would be praised by so many people at a young age, so he became fluttering. But in private, he praised other chess players, saying: "Li Cai! is worthy of being my apprentice, at such a young age, it is estimated that he will be able to win the world championship in a few years and become the youngest professional Jiudan." ”

And Li Cai was in the chess courtyard and began his boring life of practicing chess.

In the beginning of the school season in September, Li Cai was also honorably promoted from the first grade of primary school to the second grade of primary school.

When they came to the class, the same table with Li Cai was still Guan Xiaotong, and the two were called the "truancy duo" by the bear children in the class, because both of them often asked for leave, Li Cai went to the competition, and Guan Xiaotong went to filming, it can be said that the two of them were only in school at the same time during the start of school and the final exam.

However, both of them are top students, and basically 100 points in science and technology, which is a big blow to the bear children.

After all, every time the bear children came home, their parents saw the miserable results, and asked who the top few in the class were, and learned that it was Li Cai and Guan Xiaotong, who often did not come to school, so they were angry.

said: "People come to school to study for a few days, and they can get full marks in the exam. You can't get a perfect score in school every day, what's the use of you?"

And then crackling.

This also caused that only Xiao Tong talked to Li Cai in the class, and the other bear children did not play with Li Cai, thinking that Li Cai was harmful, they were beaten every time they went home, and they became obsessed with Li Cai and stayed away from him.

Li Cai doesn't matter, there is no common language anyway. As for Guan Xiaotong, probably because of acting, he is much more mature than his peers, and the two chat with each other about filming or competitions, and they have topics to talk about together.

A few days after the start of school, Li Cai was going to South Korea to participate in the quarterfinals.

For Li Cai, the school knows that he is a professional chess player at a young age, and he can get a full score without coming to class, so for a genius like Li Cai who can bring honor to the school, open the back door wide, ask for leave This small thing, whoever asks for it will be approved as many days as he wants.

Coming to Seoul, South Korea again, Li Cai didn't have the excitement of coming for the first time, he just wanted to finish the competition quickly, Li Cai was really tired of eating Korean food, because it was at his own expense, every day it was kimchi, miso soup and the like, and occasionally ate a meal of pork belly, fat meat accounted for more than half, and Li Cai hated eating fat meat the most, and felt that fat meat was too greasy.

And just like that, the game began.

Li Cai did not use his skills to compete with his senior brother Wang Lei.

As expected, Li Cai lost very simply, and the overall rhythm was firmly controlled by his senior brother Wang Lei, and Li Cai did not take advantage of it until the end.

After the game, looking at Li Cai's incomprehensible expression, senior brother Wang Lei touched Li Cai's head and said with a smile: "At your age, the level of Go is not low, you just lack experience in the game." After all, it's your first time competing internationally and you may not be used to this kind of high-intensity competition. The future is yours, though. ”

Li Cai listened to the last sentence and felt very familiar, remembering that it was a meme about Duncan in the NBA, winning the opponent in the playoffs, Duncan said to the opponent: "The future is yours." "Then next year continue to rub the opponent on the ground.

Li Cai felt very tired, and if he lost the game, he would be poisoned by his senior brother.

After the quarterfinals, the top four are all Chinese chess players, which can be said to be a world champion for Huaguo in advance, and three of the top four are Nie's lineage, it can be said that after the news spread to China, the dojo was full of enrollment, and basically the first Go genius to consider learning chess was Nie Whirlwind Dojo.

And Li Cai entered the quarterfinals, with a prize of 20 million won, which seems like a lot, but in fact it is only about 120,000 RMB, and after deducting taxes and the commission of the chess institute, Li Cai's money is only about 50,000 yuan.

Although the chess academy will become more and more humane in the future, giving chess players a greater proportion of bonuses, in 04, the chess players' bonuses were mostly drawn by the chess academy.

Li Cai didn't even see a dime of the competition bonus, because it was taken by Li's mother, during this time, the real estate company started by Li's father was thriving, and it had a net worth of tens of millions, and after Li's mother stabilized in the company, she had nothing to do alone, so she speculated in stocks at home.

In her previous life, Li's mother was also obsessed with stock speculation, hoping to make money with the stock market, but unfortunately, ordinary people played stock speculation, basically nine out of ten lost, and one was trapped.

Although the future has changed after Li Cai's rebirth, some things may be fate, and what happened happened still happened.

Time flies, and soon the Samsung Cup final is over.

It can be said that this Samsung Cup is full of results, which is unimaginable.

And this time, in addition to Li Cai's little dark horse, there is also a big dark horse Wang Wei, who won Li Cai's senior brother Wang Lei in the semifinals, and won Li Cai's other senior brother Zhou Heyang in the semifinals.

Although Wang Wei was a dark horse in his previous life, he won the runner-up in this Samsung Cup, only lost to Lee Sedol, and after Li Cai eliminated Lee Sedol, Wang Wei actually went black to the end and won the championship, which can be said to be unexpected for everyone.

The year '04 is fast to pass, and the year '05 is coming.

And Li Cai got a lot of achievement points in the 04 competition, which can be described as a bumper harvest, and Li Cai was also in distress and didn't know what to buy from the mall.
