In the Huaguo Chess Academy.

There was silence, the silence was terrible, there was no sound of falling pieces or heated discussions in the usual game of chess.

Everyone sat in their seats, waiting for the arrival of the leaders of the chess academy.

And the reason for all this is because of Li Cai.

An hour ago, Li Cai came to the chess academy and saw that the chess players were hotly discussing Li Cai's three-game chess game in the Ying's Cup final.

Ma Xiaofei looked at the chess game and sighed: "Xiaocai's chess is really getting sharper, and he didn't give Li Shifo a chance at all, and Xiaocai's chess doesn't seem to follow the formula, they are all vulgar hands, but when he turned his head later, he saw that they were all good hands, and the changes in the back were counted." ”

Coach Yu on the side also echoed: "Yes! Li Cai's chess is really unexpected, if you don't play cards according to common sense, you will always have an idea, and there will be a wonderful move." ”

Just as the people in the chess courtyard were discussing hotly, Li Cai walked in.

Seeing Li Cai come in, the chess players in the chess academy all said: "What a rare guest! Why is our world champion here, don't you usually come to the chess academy?"

Indeed, it would be good for Li Cai to come to the chess academy ten times in a year, Li Cai usually specializes in Go at home, and he wants to be clean, so he rarely comes to the chess academy, and the people in the chess academy will be surprised when they see Li Cai coming.

But what Li Cai said next surprised them even more.

"I decided not to compete anymore. ”

After Li Cai said this, the people in the chess courtyard thought that Li Cai was joking, after all, children always like to joke.

So the people in the chess courtyard just laughed, thinking that Li Cai was teasing them.

And Ma Xiaofei saw Li Cai's serious expression, and felt that Li Cai didn't seem to be joking, so he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Xiaocai, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Li Cai didn't speak, just nodded, affirming what he just said, not joking.

Seeing Li Cai's serious expression, Li Cai usually didn't joke with them, and he was very serious about doing things, and he couldn't tolerate a little sand.

In the chess courtyard, it gradually quieted down, and the chess players did not have the sound of heated discussion and laughter just now, you looked at me, I looked at you, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

After all, the news that Li Cai was not competing had too much impact on them.

Who is Li Cai, but the most talented chess player in China, the youngest professional Jiudan, in just a few years, won all the international Go championships.

Some people even said that in the Go competition that Li Cai participated in, we could only compete for the runner-up, and the championship had already been booked by Li Cai.

Moreover, when Korean chess players were dominant, it was Li Cai who stood up and proved that Chinese chess players also have great masters, so that Go entered the era of Huaguo, that is, the era of Li Cai.

Chess players from South Korea and Japan even said that with Lee Cai, they simply could not win the world championship.

Therefore, for the Huaguo Chess Academy, with Li Cai, don't worry about the results in international competitions.

Now, Li Cai suddenly said that he was not participating in the competition, which is no different from Mars hitting the earth!

Coach Yu, who was still present, first came to his senses and said, "Xiaocai! This is not a joke, such a big thing, this has to be told to Hua Lao, the leader of the chess academy." ”

So, let Li Cai wait, and let Hua Lao and Li Cai's teacher Nie Whirlwind come over to persuade Li Cai and dispel the idea that he would not participate in the competition.

Head Coach Yu called Li Cai's teacher, Nie Xuanfeng.

"Doodoo"

The phone rang, and Coach Yu was so anxious that he was thinking about why Lao Nie hadn't answered the phone yet.

"Click"

The phone was connected, and Coach Yu hurriedly said, "Old Nie, your proud protégé is going to stop the game." ”

When Nie Whirlwind answered the phone, he had just gotten up, his spirit was still dazed, he didn't understand what Coach Yu was saying, and his mind couldn't turn a little.

It wasn't until Coach Yu repeated it that he knew what happened.

Suddenly, Nie Whirlwind didn't feel sleepy, and said, "I'll rush to the chess courtyard." ”

After calling Nie Whirlwind, Coach Yu reported the matter to Hua Lao, the leader of the chess academy.

When Hua Lao heard this, he was stunned, and he didn't understand why the good Li Cai wanted to boycott the game, but he still said, "I'll come over right away." ”

So, there was silence in the chess academy, and they all sat dryly, waiting for the leaders of the chess academy and Li Cai's teacher Nie Whirlwind to come over.

After waiting for an hour, Nie Whirlwind and Hua Lao finally came.

Hua Lao saw that so many chess players were here, and felt that there were too many people, and it was not easy to talk to Li Cai.

Just called some old chess players and went to the conference room for a meeting.

Li Cai followed the teacher Nie Whirlwind into the conference room.

In the conference room, Hua Lao asked Li Cai: "Li Cai, why are you suddenly not participating in the competition, you are the pillar of our Huaguo Go, so you can say that you will stop the game, you have to have a sense of national honor!"

Li Cai listened to it and was very disgusted, what Li Cai hated most was that the bureaucrats used these big principles to talk about things, Li Cai thought that he didn't owe the country anything, and he had paid more than half of the bonus taxes and won so many championships for the country.

is saying that there are so many chess players in Huaguo, and he is not the only one, senior brothers Gu Dali and Chang Xiaohao are very powerful, not to mention some cutting-edge chess players.

Although disgusted, Li Cai still said his reasons: "I feel that I always win, I don't have a sense of challenge, I feel tired, and I don't want to participate anymore." ”

After speaking, Li Cai added: "If I don't compete, it doesn't mean that there are no Chinese chess players, and in the long run, it will not be good for other chess players." I mean, if I meet a great player, I would consider playing again. ”

After listening to Li Cai's reasoning, Hua Lao felt ridiculous, but the old chess players present began to think about it.

After all, Huaguo Go can't rely on Li Cai alone, other countries will only say that Li Cai is powerful, and other chess players are not like this, which is very unfair to other chess players, Li Cai suppresses everyone, and after a long time, many chess players will feel desperate, thinking that they can't win the championship no matter how hard they try, lose their love for Go, and won't work hard to catch up with Li Cai.

Therefore, I felt thoughtful about Li Cai's words.

And Hua Lao saw that he couldn't persuade Li Cai, so he motioned to Nie Whirlwind to persuade Li Cai, after all, he was his disciple.

Nie Whirlwind didn't care about Hua Lao, just looked at Li Cai and said, "You think about it, I'm not in the competition." ”

Li Cai said to the teacher: "I think about it, if I don't go to the competition, it doesn't mean that I will give up Go, after all, I still love Go." ”

Nie Whirlwind listened and said, "Since this is the case, you should be bold and do it." ”

Seeing the teacher's support for himself, Li Cai felt very moved, after all, the teacher is very strict with people and speaks mercilessly, but when he is to himself, he teaches carefully and never scolds himself, even this time he is not in the competition, the teacher supports himself.

Hua Lao saw that Nie Whirlwind actually supported Li Cai's absence, his hands trembled angrily, and said: "When the time comes, if you lose the game and can't win the championship, see what you do." ”

In the end, Li Cai still got his wish, and he could stop participating in the competition and go to do what he wanted to do next.
