Outside the dojo, the news that Li Cai broke the entry record was hung in the most conspicuous position of the dojo, and a large banner read, "Congratulations to the dojo student Li Cai for breaking the world record and becoming the smallest professional chess player." ”

Walking into the dojo, the students in the dojo looked at Li Cai who walked in with great curiosity, and looked at Li Cai with eyes like a national treasure panda.

And some of the students in the rushing class looked at Li Cai with complicated eyes, feeling that they couldn't learn chess for so many years compared to Li Cai's one-year study.

Li Cai didn't pay attention to them, after all, most people can't cross the threshold of their careers. And after having the system, Li Cai's eyes only have the sea of stars, and only the chess players who are ranked in the forefront of the world are Li Cai's goals!

Li Cai thought that he could play against a chess player who had been out of reach before, and his heart was ready to move and excited.

When he came to the office in the dojo, Li Cai walked in to take a look, and all the three people who had succeeded in the dojo this time had arrived. Nie Lao saw that Li Cai, Tan Xiao, and Peng Liyao had all arrived, so he first encouraged the three of them, and then announced the selection of the national junior team, and started the selection in August, asking Li Cai and the three to prepare.

Just as Li Cai and the others were about to leave, Nie Lao said, "Well, Li Cai, you stay for a while, I have something to say to you." ”

Li Cai watched Nie Lao leave him alone, although he didn't know what it was, Li Cai felt that it would be a good thing.

When the three of them were together just now, Li didn't feel any problems. And when he faced Nie Lao alone, Li Cai felt a lot of pressure.

It may be that Nie Lao often comes into contact with national leaders, and his momentum is the same as that of his superiors. There's a feeling of sitting there, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

Looking at Li Cai, who looked nervous, Nie Lao suddenly smiled and said, "Looking at the chess you played, I thought you were a veteran who had played chess for many years, so calm, not like a child, I don't know how to be nervous." Now it looks like you're still going to be nervous!"

After listening to Nie Lao's words, Li Cai smiled embarrassedly.

After making fun of Li Cai, Nie Lao began to talk about leaving Li Cai.

Nie Lao looked at Li Cai and said directly, "I plan to accept you as my apprentice." ”

After Li Cai heard this, he was stunned by the news, and then immediately became excited.

After all, in front of him is a domestic chess saint, who has made a huge contribution to the development of the Chinese Go industry.

Nie Lao is a world-class chess player, although he has never won the world championship, and with physical reasons, the level of chess strength has declined. But Nie Lao's level of cultivating talents is not low, and among the apprentices he has accepted, Gu Dali and Chang Xiaohao will help him fulfill his wish and win the world championship in a few years.

And being accepted as an apprentice by Nie Lao means that Nie Lao thinks that you have the strength to win the world championship in the future, and Nie Lao has a wide network, which will help him a lot if he wants to do other things in the future, which can be said to be harmless.

So, Li Cai nodded again and again as if a chicken pecked rice, for fear that Nie Lao would regret it and not want to accept him as an apprentice.

Looking at Li Cai's performance, Nie Lao laughed.

Nie Lao has a feeling that Li Cai will create a new era of Go, and accepting Li Cai as an apprentice this time is the most correct thing he has done in his life, and he will be glad to accept Li Cai as an apprentice in the future.

Seeing that Li Cai nodded and agreed, Elder Nie was going to invite some people from the Go Association to witness this matter in the dojo tomorrow.

Then he said to Li Cai: "In the evening, I will take you to get to know your senior brothers, and after you enter the national junior team, let your senior brothers guide you." ”

After listening to Nie Lao's words, Li Cai hurriedly agreed.

Next, in the dojo, Nie Lao and Li Cai played a game of coaching chess.

At the beginning of the game, Li Cai used his skills, and it was difficult to distinguish from Nie Laoxia, and the situation was a two-point situation, and no one had the advantage.

It's a pity that when he arrived in the middle game, Nie Lao was probably dizzy and made a faint move, and Li Cai, who had been strengthened by the brain enhancement fluid, discovered the flaws of Nie Lao at a glance.

So, he hurriedly played a winning hand, and in one fell swoop rushed the big dragon in Nie Lao's chess game, and Nie Lao found that he could not save the big dragon in the next few moves, so he threw himself into defeat.

"One wrong step, all the games are lost. "In Go, even if the previous game is good, there is a faint move, and the opponent catches the opportunity, it is definitely lost.

Nie Lao sighed: "It seems that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, but I can't do it anymore!"

Li Cai hurriedly said: "Teacher, you are just in a bad state, if you get serious, you will definitely win." ”

Nie Lao just smiled, waved his hand, and said, "I don't want you to comfort me yet, teacher, I'm not so fragile." ”

In the evening, Li Cai called Li's mother and told him about being taken in by Nie Lao, and said that he would go to dinner with Nie Lao at night and not come to pick him up.

Nie Lao took Li Cai to a very high-end hotel, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Gu Dali coming to greet Nie Lao at the door of the hotel.

Gu Dali walked quickly, and after greeting Nie Lao, he smiled and said to Li Cai: "You are the little junior brother, you are really young!"

Then he said boldly: "Haha, you broke the record of Chang Xiaohao, see if he will show off this matter in the future." ”

When the group entered the hotel box, Nie Lao ordered a lot of children's favorite dishes, and asked the waiter and others to serve the dishes.

After a while, Li Cai's senior brother Chang Xiaohao, that is, the holder of the record of the smallest entry in China, became the second place after being broken by Li Cai.

After coming in, after greeting Nie Lao and Gu Dali, he said to Li Cai with a smile: "Yes, you have entered the stage at such a young age." ”

After the greetings, the four of them began to eat, and during the meal, Li Cai couldn't speak, just listened to Nie Lao and the senior brothers discussing things related to the Go competition.

It wasn't until after eating that Nie Lao said that he wanted Gu Dali and Chang Xiaohao to take care of Li Cai under the national team.

Gu Dali and Chang Xiaohao hurriedly nodded and said that they would definitely take good care of the little junior brother.

After Nie Lao sent Li Cai home, he instructed Li Cai to go to the dojo early tomorrow before going back, which shows the importance he attaches to Li Cai.

At home, Dad Li already knew about Nie Lao's acceptance of Li Cai as an apprentice, and he was very happy. After all, Dad Li also loves to play chess, and Nie Lao was the leader of the Go world for young people in the 80s at that time.

After Li Cai said about tomorrow's apprenticeship ceremony, Li's mother and Li Dad went to prepare their best clothes, so that Li Cai could go to rest early and not delay tomorrow's apprenticeship.

Early in the morning, Li Cai's family came to the dojo, and there were already many people in the dojo, and some leaders and entrepreneurs in Beijing saw that today's protagonist was coming, and greeted them again and again, and some flexible officials and entrepreneurs took business cards to Li's father, saying that there was any trouble in Shangjing to find them.

After more than 100 people came, the host of this apprenticeship ceremony was presided over by Ma Xiaochun.

After Li Cai bowed three times to Nie Lao, who was sitting in the first place, he officially became Nie Lao's apprentice under the witness of more than 100 people.
