After a short break from the discussion of the chess game, Li Xiangping immediately participated in the draw ceremony for the semi-finals.

In the temporary arrangement of the simple venue, when the four top four chess players lined up, Li Xiangping was undoubtedly the one that attracted the most attention. The youngest age, the big words before the game, this game of chess was through nearly 7 and a half hours of fierce battles to get through the danger, and the most important thing is that in the semi-finals held a month later, Li Xiangping will face the situation of "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu".

When these factors come together, then he will naturally easily become the focus of attention of the audience.

Before the draw, the host's microphone was the first to be handed to Li Xiangping. Li Xiangping took the microphone, first walked around the crowd, found the opponent Park Yongxun just now, and then nodded to him:

"Before talking about my feelings, I first want to say sorry to Brother Park Yongxun, you played well today, I won by luck, I learned a lot from you today......"

After saying this set of regular polite words, Li Xiangping paused slightly, and then continued in a joking tone:

"Everyone often says that if you don't die, you will have a blessing, I'm not afraid to tell you, my biggest feeling now is, of course, I hope this saying can be verified in me, the game is to this extent, and now of course, only the championship is my only goal, because only in this way do I feel worthy of Park Yongxun's brother today's concession to me."

Hearing Li Xiangping announce winning the championship again, many people at the scene felt a strange feeling.

Can Li Xiangping be accused of being "young and frivolous" and not knowing how to restrain? Well, on the surface, of course, there is no problem, especially in the current world chess world, where it is popular to be a humble gentleman like Chang Hao and Li Canghao, and there are few chess players who are as high-profile as Li Xiangping is today.

However, is Li Xiangping really "young and frivolous"? It seems that it is impossible to say that. Needless to say, just look at the potential opponents behind Li Xiangping, whether it is Lao Cao, Da Liu, or Xiao Li, these are other well-known figures today, there are both adult superstars and super cutting-edge.

But these 3 people have all fought against Li Xiangping in official competitions before, and the fight is not the point, the real point is: these 3 people have not even won against Li Xiangping!

Among them, Lao Cao has one game, Da Liu has two games, and Xiao Li has one game, Li Xiangping actually maintains a 100% winning rate against them, if you think about the problem from this angle, of course, you can't say that what he just said is arrogant.

After Li Xiangping put down his big words, it was the turn of the three Korean chess players to speak, and among these three Korean chess players, whether it was Lao Cao or Da Liu, they were already old foxes in the world chess arena, and they naturally responded to such occasions freely, and their speeches were also very natural and decent, not only expressing a strong desire to find Li Xiangping 'revenge', but also pretending to be modest there, praising Li Xiangping's chess talent, which was very difficult to deal with, and was ready to "learn" from Li Xiangping in the next game.

Only the unruly Li Sedol can't care so much, and his "pre-game speech" can be regarded as a needle-to-needle confrontation with Li Xiangping:

"The strength of the Chinese Li player is very strong, very strong! Not only is he strong, but he also has his own uniqueness, and in a word, his performance deserves all the praise for him, but despite this, I am still very eager to play against him, even to the point of impatience, because there is no way, I am the youngest of the three Korean chess players, so I think I have to take on this responsibility to stop Lee. ”

Seeing that Lee Sedol was talking so much, the host asked, "Then are you confident that you can defeat him?" ”

"Of course I have that!"

When Lee Sedol said this, he also deliberately glanced at Li Xiangping, but he didn't know that he was just flattering and throwing it to the blind, Li Xiangping was bored, starting from Lao Cao, several people were talking about Korean, where could Li Xiangping understand.

"Judging from today's game, Li is not without weaknesses, let alone invincible, so if I can meet him, I am confident that I can defeat him."

After Lee Sedol's words were finished, everyone applauded, and Li Xiangping also applauded, and his applause, of course, was the same as many people, purely polite and social.

When the results of the next draw came out---- even Li Xiangping didn't know if this was the organizer's black-box operation, because his opponent in the semifinals was none other than Lee Sedol, and in real history, Lee Sedol, the winner of this year's "Fujitsu Cup".

It's just that Li Xiangping doesn't care about this, after all, the three chess players standing in front of him, Lao Shi has played against them and won, so if you want to win the championship in the end, of course it doesn't matter who you touch at this time.

There is another reason for Li Xiangping's indifference, the semi-finals will be held on the first weekend of July a month later, and now it is June, and this month is another big event for Li Xiangping, that is, he is going to take the "high school entrance examination" this month, and unconsciously, Li Xiangping has traveled for almost 2 years.

It's just that Li Xiangping is a traverser after all, so something like the "high school entrance examination", maybe others will be very concerned and regard this as a big thing, such as his old man Li Yuanhu, and then his grandparents in his hometown, who have recently called several times, in addition to asking Li Xiangping about playing chess, it is mainly about mentioning the "high school entrance examination".

It's just that the care of relatives does not mean that Li Xiangping himself is also concerned, in his opinion, the 'high school entrance examination' is purely a matter of going through the motions for himself.

No matter how you say it, you're a world champion, isn't it? According to the domestic system, he is also regarded as an "athlete", even if the Go event cannot be compared with other Olympic sports, it is always no problem to be a 'special student', let alone a mere high school, even if you want to go to college in a few years, there are many universities to choose from.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Xiangping himself did not take this too seriously, but it was not taken seriously, but on the surface, of course, he still had to make a show, so after the end of the "Fujitsu Cup" quarterfinals, Li Xiangping's training intensity weakened a little, and he began to spend more time running to school.

A week before the "high school entrance examination", at the "XXX International School" where Li Xiangping studied, Li Xiangping asked his own Xiao Zhao Daokai strangely:

"Daokai, what's wrong with you? How do I think you look like you're out of the way. ”

Zhao Daokai glanced at Li Xiangping: "I can't compare with you, this high school entrance examination doesn't matter to you, but I can't, if I don't do well, then I may be miserable." ”

Li Xiangping smiled when he heard it, of course he didn't take Zhao Daokai's words to heart, in fact, like himself, of course Zhao Daokai is also the kind of person who can not care about the high school entrance examination, his grandfather is a high-ranking official in the system, although his parents are not mixed in the system, but they are also well-connected in the capital, and since Zhao Daokai came to the capital, he and himself are still difficult brothers.

This "difficult brother and difficult brother" means that Zhao Daokai is the same as himself, if he only relies on cultural achievements, then he will definitely not be able to get into a good high school, so in this case, Li Xiangping 2 His elders did not arrange it for him, where is it his turn to worry about this kind of thing.

"Tell me, what kind of unequal treaty did your mother sign with you this time?"

"Alas! This time the trouble may be a bit big," Zhao Daokai looked sad:

"My mother told me that if I can't be admitted to high school by myself this time, then just send me abroad, and say that I won't be embarrassed at home, Xiangping, listen, listen, is this like a mother who said it?"

Li Xiangping hehehe: "That's really my own mother, like a fake real mother, Dao Kai thinks, your mother's thoughts are actually the same as yours, you are doubting whether she is your own mother, and she still doubts whether you are his biological son." ”

"Li Xiangping!"

Seeing Zhao Daokai glaring at him, Li Xiangping hurriedly changed the topic:

"By the way, Daokai, why did your mother suddenly think of sending you abroad? I've never heard you mention it before. ”

This is exactly what Li Xiangping was confused in his heart, because in his previous life, this kind of thing had never happened, Zhao Daokai, like himself, had been messing around in China, except for occasional trips abroad.

"Well, don't mention it, it's not because of your daughter-in-law."

Li Xiangping was stunned: "My daughter-in-law? ”

"No, to be precise, it's because the family has a mine, don't you know that Yang Na is going abroad next month, right?"

"Oh, Yang Na is going abroad? It's true? ”

Yang Na is Cai Shanshan's best friend, her father Yang Jinbiao is also the largest shareholder of Li Xiangping's team, so in a sense, he can be regarded as Li Xiangping's "boss".

Lao Yang started by opening a mine, the standard "there is a mine at home" type of local tyrant, so far there are several phosphate and fluorite mines in his hands, the family is big, the strength is strong, at least at this stage, his net worth is much higher than Li Yuanhu and Cai Zhixiong.

In today's era, domestic tyrants are very keen to send their children abroad to study, which can be regarded as a trend in this era, so when he heard the news, Li Xiangping did not feel unusual, he was surprised that Zhao Daokai wanted to go abroad.

However, thinking about it carefully, Li Xiangping was also relieved, when he didn't take the road of professional Go in his previous life, he actually didn't know Lao Yang, and maybe his old man was not familiar with him, but now because of himself, this is equivalent to broadening Li Yuanhu and Zhao Jiadong's social circle, so when Zhao Daokai heard this, he also said in front of Zhao Daokai.

"Hehe Daokai, don't worry, I guess it's okay, your mother just said it casually, she will definitely not let your baby son go abroad."

"Oh, really?"

Zhao Daokai is still a little bit of a gain and loss there, but Li Xiangping is already very sure after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Daokai is really so casual, used to scare Zhao Daokai, there are 3 factors that make Zhao Daokai unlikely to go abroad at this age.

First, Zhao Daokai's family does not have any relatives and friends overseas, so if he goes abroad at such a young age, there will be no one to take care of him.

Second, if you want Zhao Daokai to go abroad, his grandfather may not be able to pass the pass, this is the only grandson, not to mention, and Grandpa Zhao is still a more traditional old revolutionary, plus he is still in power, so it is impossible to send Zhao Daokai abroad during this time.

The third and most important point is that it is estimated that Zhao Daokai himself is not willing to himself, don't look at his mother as a Princeton scholar doctor, but Li Xiangping knows that this scholar does not agree with foreign basic education, she thinks that the education of primary and secondary school students in the United States may not be as good as that in China, so in this case, it is completely impossible for her to send Zhao Daokai abroad at this time.

"Daokai, you put ten thousand hearts."

Li Xiangping patted the dead party on the shoulder: "I promise your mother is just scaring you, she is absolutely reluctant to send you abroad at this time, but that Yang Na, hehe......"

"What are you talking about?"

really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Li Xiangping looked back and saw that it was Cai Shanshan and Yang Na who came together.
