It snowed in late December.

Just decorate Christmas in snow white, which makes the couples who have spent this holiday a little more romantic.

It was after school in the afternoon, and Zhao Ya and Xu Jing walked together in the snow.

"Xiaoya, I really can't imagine that Lin Tao's Go level has improved so fast, and it's getting harder and harder to win him now." Xu Jing said with emotion.

"You can still win him, right?" Zhao Ya smiled faintly, Xu Jing's level has reached the 2nd level of Tongyou, and she is definitely at the level of a professional chess player.

Lin Tao is a Go enthusiast, he has not undergone special training, even if he is a genius, he doesn't have a year, don't want to win against Xu Jing.

"Of course, don't look at whose disciple I am, the name of the Three Provinces Chess King is very powerful." Xu Jing said proudly.

"Xiao Jing, if you want to win a provincial chess king, it shouldn't be a problem."

"I don't want to go, it's okay to play chess occasionally, but it's really not interesting to play with a group of people." Xu Jing shook her head again and again.

"Don't you want to show off your level and strength?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"What strength do I have to show." Xu Jing shook his head again.

"Don't underestimate yourself too much, I have an invitation to the Zhang Rongcheng Celebrity Tournament, and you will play chess with them instead of me." Zhao Ya said, taking out a red invitation from her backpack.

"Not really." Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, saw Zhao Ya's positive attitude, and took the invitation, which read, "I sincerely invite Mr. Zhao Ya, the chess king of the three provinces, to participate in this Juyuan Cup Celebrity Tournament." ”

"Xiaoya, this is an invitation to you, what am I going to do?" Xu Jing asked suspiciously.

"Didn't I say you took my place?" Zhao Ya smiled slightly, took Xu Jing's hand and said softly, "Do you know why I taught you to learn Go?" ”

"Why?" Xu Jing was a little nervous, as if she was afraid to hear some terrible news.

"It's only the first year of junior high school for you, if you don't take this opportunity to try more different challenges, you will have more and more homework in the future, and you will have less and less time." Zhao Ya said and stretched out her hand and gently twisted it on Xu Jing's delicate face, "Xiao Jing, don't let me be free just because I'm very loose these days." ”

"Ah, I didn't, I was third in the class in the midterm test." Xu Jing lowered her head.

"Yes, the third in the class, as a top student, you should know that this grade is very poor."

"That damn Lin Tao, if he wasn't three points higher than me, I wouldn't be third, and my grades were also fifth in my grade." Xu Jing bit her lip.

"I told you before, you have to try to tie for the first place with me, otherwise the number of grades in any grade will be in vain, if the whole grade is like me, you will not be the last." Zhao Ya said lightly.

"How is that possible?" Xu Jing said angrily.

"There is no impossibility, you have to work your own to ensure that you are the first, and with the goal of full score, you will not be willing to be left behind."

"Okay, I understand, I'll definitely work hard for the final exam...... Tied with you for first place. ”

"So, now you go to this Masters tournament instead of me, don't waste your Go talent." Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"Ah, do you want me to go?" Xu Jing looked at the invitation carefully and asked, "When is the competition?" ”

"Tomorrow at 9 a.m." Zhao Ya said.

"What?" Xu Jing was shocked: "Are you kidding?" ”

"Of course not, I have other things to do tomorrow, let you participate in place of me, that's what it means."

"But if I go in your place, will the organizer agree?"

"I'll call them and let them know, so don't worry." Zhao Ya smiled.

"I'm speechless too......" Xu Jing glanced at the invitation again, and reluctantly put it into her schoolbag.

At this time, the two had already reached the fork in the road, and Xu Jing pointed not far away, there was a pile of beautiful snowmen.

"Xiaoya, you see that snowman is really good."

"yes, do you want to build a snowman too?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Hmm!" Xu Jing nodded expectantly.

"Don't waste any time, let me go home and play a few games of chess to warm up and get ready for the tournament." Zhao Ya glared at Xu Jing, and then said fiercely: "Also, I must win the championship in this competition, and I am not allowed to lose my people." ”

"Woo woo......" Xu Jing drooped her face and went home listlessly.

When Zhao Ya returned home, she entered the spiritual space and activated the Shadow of the Chess God.

"Entering the 1st Order, 968/1100 Spirit Map, locking the target Xu Jing, Shadow of the Chess God No. 2, Chess Power Tongyou 2nd Order, ready to transmit the Spirit Map."

"The success rate of this transmission is 85%, 15 spirit maps will be consumed, and the target will gain one-tenth of the spirit map ability, one hundred and fifty percent efficiency, and comprehensive

Average rating. ”

"The transmission is successful, 15 spirit maps are consumed, and the target chess power is promoted to the 3rd level of Tongyou."

Seeing that Xu Jing's chess strength had improved again, Zhao Ya showed a hint of a smile, "The Shadow of the Chess God No. 2 is also about to appear." ”

At the same time, Xu Jing, who returned home, felt that there were many more chess moves in her mind, blinked her eyes, and whispered to herself: "Maybe Xiaoya is right, I have a talent for Go, and the game may really help me." ”

The next day, Xu Jing came to Juyuan Teahouse, as a frequent visitor here, after she explained her intentions, she was invited to the arrangement team.

"I know that you are competing in place of Zhao Ya, and she strongly recommends you to us......" Manager Li, who was in charge of the competition, said with a smile: "Okay, then you can play chess first." ”

This time, Juyuan Teahouse hesitated, and still sent an invitation to invite the world champion Zhao Yajun, but obviously the small temple could not accommodate the big Buddha, and Zhao Yajun also tactfully said that he was very busy and refused the invitation.

However, Zhao Ya was able to agree to participate, which made the organizer very happy, but she didn't expect that after the list was arranged, she said that she wanted a master with the same chess strength as her to replace her.

"You said that this Xu Jing looks like a novice who has just participated in the competition." A teahouse staff member who was a referee said.

"A man shall not be a disfigurer, who knows." The other man shook his head.

Xu Jing is looking for the table where she should sit at the moment.

After a long circle, I finally found my seat in the fourth private room.

Seeing the young man sitting in the opponent's position and looking at her curiously, Xu Jing's face couldn't help but blush slightly, glared at the young man, and shouted, "What do you see, I'm not late." ”

"Oh, I originally thought it was Zhao Ya, what is the relationship between you and Zhao Ya?" The young man was not angry because of Xu Jing's reprimand, but asked with a smile.

"Leave it to you, come on, let's get started." As Xu Jing spoke, he grabbed a handful of white pieces from the white chess box, "Guess first." ”
