The time came to mid-April, and by this time, the "SARS" had become more and more serious, serious enough to interfere with normal life, so Li Xiangping still decided to hide outside.

"This ..... It's not impossible for you to go back to your hometown to accompany your grandparents, it's just that you are learning this culture......"

"Hey, Dad, have you forgotten who my grandmother is, an excellent people's teacher for so many years, and she has just retired, so she ....."

"Okay, okay, if you want to go back, you can go back."

After a few more words, Li Yuanhu hung up the phone on the other end. Li Xiangping is happy, since he became a professional chess player, he knows his family's cultural requirements for him...... Just don't be illiterate.

Are you illiterate now? Of course not, so he knew what his old man had just said, and he was actually used to saying it casually, and of course his excuses were also found casually.

Just go, Li Xiangping's execution is still quite good, and two days later, he has already returned to the small city in his hometown of Ganyuan.

Li Xiangping's return, can make the two old people happy, as the saying goes, "old son, eldest grandson", although Li Xiangping is not the eldest grandson of the family, but he grew up in his hometown, and has always been the closest to the two old people, not to mention that Li Xiangping has a stepmother, which actually makes the two old people more spoiled to him, I always feel that this child is pitiful, he has no own mother when he is young, and now he doesn't know if he will be bullied by his stepmother.

"Xiangping, your current Aunt Lin..... Is it okay with you? ”

"Well, it's okay."

"Really?"

"Well, yes, yes."

"Really?"

The way the two old men cared about it, of course, it made Li Xiangping a little crying and laughing, and he teased the two old men; "Okay, grandparents, don't ask this anymore, even if Aunt Lin treats me badly, can you still run and beat her? By the way, maybe it won't be long before she'll add a brother or sister to me. ”

The two old men looked at each other with complicated expressions, and then asked in unison:

"Really?"

Li Xiangping smiled secretly in his heart: "I don't know, I don't know, if you want to know, you can ask your son to go." ”

It is easy to imagine that in the next period of time, the two old people will naturally be better and more spoiled by Li Xiangping, and the way they express their spoiling is very simple, that is, to raise Li Xiangping as a pig.

The feeling of being raised as a pig is actually very wonderful, Li Xiangping enjoys it, he feels very comfortable, so he doesn't do anything else during this time in his hometown, except for occasionally writing articles for the column, most of the other time is spent playing chess on the Internet.

So just like that, his "seven dead and eight alive" vest soon passed 70 consecutive wins, and it was less than 10 games away from going straight to 9D.

By this time, this vest has become quite well-known on the website, not only when playing chess, many people will come in to watch the game, but also the people who eat melons have begun to guess who this vest is.

In particular, "rookie Huang Rong" posted a post on the forum: Who will become TOM's first straight nine?

This guy not only announced a list of candidates, "seven dead and eight alive" was impressively listed, he even took great pains to make an analysis and prediction, and gave each candidate a odds.

It's just a well-known fact that the prediction of the guy "Rookie Yellow" has never been reliable, not only did he give a very low ranking, but he even gave a comment like this after ranking "Seven Dead and Eight Alive" to more than 20, and he even gave such a comment:

No. 22: "Seven Dead and Eight Alive", his true identity is ominous, and his chess power is ominous. Basic situation: This person started from 1D, and is currently 71-0, and he still needs to win 9 games in a row from straight 9.

Reason for ranking: After this rookie analyzed his chess game, this person's advantages: the basic skills are relatively solid, there are no obvious loopholes in the technology, and meat and vegetarian are not taboo, and fast and slow chess are more handy.

This person's shortcomings: From his game record, this rookie did not find any powerful characters, which does not rule out that this person has excellent luck, and he has not met any masters along the way, but it is more likely that this person is good at online chess, is a veteran bird for many years, and is very good at picking opponents, which led to his winning streak.

Second, this person's chess should be average, this rookie in his chess game, neither saw any extraordinary ideas, nor seen any amazing tricks, and even did not see any more distinctive characteristics of this person. Anyway, after watching his chess games, this rookie forgot all about his kung fu in a blink of an eye

Conclusion; To sum up, this rookie thinks that this person is an old fritter of online chess, the upper limit is a retired old professional, and the lower limit is a local amateur powerhouse, so today, when this game platform is so thriving, this rookie is not optimistic that this person can become a straight 9. Of course, considering that this person's luck seems to be good, everyone understands that luck is not something that this rookie can control, so this person is ranked 22nd.

Such a hot post, of course Li Xiangping has also seen it, after reading it, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said that this guy is really worthy of his reputation, how bad his eyesight is, so that he can rank himself so behind.

"Brother Ding'an, be careful next, although this person looks down on us, but as soon as this post comes out, it must be a landmine step by step."

"Hehe, Ding'an Province."

Of course Lao Shi understands it now, it's been so long, so he has already cleared some of the ways on the Internet.

And the real situation is indeed just like what Li Xiangping said, since the post "Rookie Yellow" came out, not only the opponents behind have become stronger and stronger, but even Li Xiangping has become more difficult to take the initiative to invite opponents-----

Because he hasn't lost yet, and because rookie Huang thinks that his level is not high, most self-aware 7Ds will not play with themselves easily, and they want to leave the opportunity to "block" themselves to higher-level chess players.

As for the really high-level players, then some will cherish their feathers, and some may still be on the road themselves, so this part will not be easy to play.

Since these two types of people are missing, it will naturally become more difficult for Li Xiangping to invite opponents.

Not only that, Li Xiangping also noticed a phenomenon, that is, a day later, when he and Lao Shi won 3 more games, and this vest came to 74-0, "Rookie Huang" updated his post again, and the ranking of "Seven Dead and Alive" not only did not rise, but even dropped 2 places to 24------

It's not because of anything else.,It's because since this post appeared,,There are a lot of masters who go back to "do tasks".,Old TOM can normally register 3D.,If you have a little relationship with the administrator, you can even register 5D.,So in more than a day,The platform suddenly has a lot of zero-negative 7D.。

And in these new 7D, some people did not deliberately hide their identities, such as Li Xiangping, he didn't inquire at all, just looked at the screen in the hall, and he saw Luo Xihe and Kong Erjie Chen Yaoyue of the national team.

In that case, it's no surprise that he's dropped down the rankings again.

Li Xiangping was unmoved, he continued to rush diligently, preparing everything until the completion of this Zhi9 task.

Although the straight 9 on the Internet actually doesn't have much practical significance, but how to say it, this is like grabbing red envelopes in later generations, your monthly income is tens of thousands, but you are still happy to grab a few dollars of red envelopes.

For Li Xiangping, or for Luo Xihe Kong Erjie, now rising to 9 is actually the same as grabbing red envelopes.

"You ...... Invited to Play Invitation"

After hearing this voice, Li Xiangping didn't even look at it and confirmed his consent. Because he knows that the prompt sound of the old TOM is a little different, if the opponent is automatically and randomly initiating an invitation, then use the above prompt sound.

On the other hand, if you want to send an invitation to a specific opponent individually, use a tone like "Someone has invited you".

In the current situation, the designated invitations are mostly landmines, and the random invitations are mostly ordinary rushers.

Although up to now, Li Xiangping actually doesn't care whether the opponent is a mine or not, but isn't this the last few steps? Therefore, of course, he did not refuse such an invitation.

"I don't know if this person will be scared away after he sees that it's a straight 7......"

With such a thought in mind, Li Xiangping entered the game room, and after seeing the opponent's vest and record, Li Xiangping was happy-----

The opponent turned out to be a straight 7 who had never lost a move, and it was the first time he had encountered this situation in a randomly invited game.

What's more, he seems to have a little impression of this vest, well, it is also an old acquaintance.

Obviously, the opponent saw that a straight 7 was randomly invited, and the opponent was also stunned, but the opposite side did not retreat, and after a while, a time setting of 10 minutes and 60 seconds appeared on the computer screen, and Li Xiangping didn't even want to agree.

"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, it's better for you to come to this game."

"Hey, didn't we say yes before, today's first game is Xiangping Xiaoyou, did you come first, why let me come now."

"Not for anything else, because if you want to deal with this person, then Brother Ding'an is more sure, but I'm afraid I can't."

"Oh? Do you know this person? It's not that I said you, Xiangping Xiaoyou, if this person is really a master, then I think it's better for you to be on it. ”

Li Xiangping laughed: "Hahahaha is not high, this person is not high, but I still think that Brother Ding'an is more suitable, but I am not sure." ”

"This ...... What does this mean? ”

"Because it suddenly occurred to me that Brother Ding'an was even ruthless to the girl who embroidered the qin, so I guess I won't pity the fragrance and jade today."

Xiangping Xiaoyou said...... Is this a female chess player? ”

Li Xiangping said with a smile: "Yes, if I remember correctly, this person is not only a female chess player, she is also your fellow countryman, by the way, she may be playing this game of chess in Pinghu now." ”

"Pinghu?"

"That's right, it's the Pinghu where you and Xiping's predecessors played the Pinghu Ten Innings."

Li Xiangping was proud of guessing his opponent, but what he didn't expect was that because of Lao Shi's hot hands, after an hour, his identity was almost guessed.

In Pinghu, Zhejiang, Ma Xiaofei, the head coach of the "Pinghu Women's Go Team", laughed:

"Haha, don't guess Jiajun, I estimate now, this 'seven dead and eight alive' is most likely Li Xiangping......"
