Yuan Lang praised Gao Ming, and Mrs. Liu listened happily, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that they had met.

"Hehe, Mr. Yuan, in your opinion, if I participate in the Go competition at the end of the year, do I have a chance to win the first place?"

Old lady Liu asked.

"Well, the old lady is interested in showing off her skills in the competition?"

Yuan Lang was a little surprised-the prize money for this competition was from the Liu family, and Mrs. Liu didn't care about the money, it was estimated that she was idle at home all day long, and wanted to find something to do for herself, right?

"Hehe, can I participate?"

Old lady Liu asked casually, what he really wanted to know was that his Go level could rank among the best in Meilong Town, but hearing Yuan Lang say this really aroused his interest.

"Of course, this competition is a grand event that has never been held in Meilong Town, in principle, anyone except me and Su Quan can sign up to participate, although the old lady is the owner of this competition, he also has the qualifications to participate, if you can win consecutive battles, capture the flag, and become the ultimate champion, others will definitely only admire you for being old and strong."

Yuan Lang replied.

"Hehe, father, if you want to participate in the competition, then participate, in case you win the championship, the maximum championship prize is not wanted, and it is better to share it with those who do not get the ranking."

Liu Wenxiong interjected with a smile - the old man's main opponents when playing chess at home are juniors and subordinates, except for himself, it is estimated that no one dares to play real with the old man, and even if it is himself, he will not show 100% strength when playing chess to win chess, so that on the one hand, the old man often plays and wins, and his confidence is real, on the other hand, the old man will also feel bored and want to find more people to learn, this mood is like a child getting a new toy and always likes to show off in front of others. The old man feels that his chess is high and not many people in the town know, so he will have the feeling of 'brocade night walking', and the best way to cure this common problem of most people who have not learned chess for a long time is to give them the opportunity to play chess with others.

"Hehe, that's true, both of you said so, then I'll join in the fun then. But then again, Mr. Yuan, you still haven't answered my question just now. ”

Old lady Liu said with a smile, although he was old, his brain was not confused, and he did not forget things because of Yuan Lang's deliberate praise just now.

"This, hehe, as far as I know, Tian Dayi, Lin Lao Wu, and Pang Lao Si, these three people have good chess, and each has its own characteristics, if you meet in the game, it is estimated that it will be a hard battle."

Seeing that the question could not be avoided, Yuan Lang also answered seriously, he had not been to the chess room to play chess with people, but those three people were all auditors in his Go class, and they had also played several times in the past few months, and they knew a lot about the strength of a few of them, I heard that these three people belonged to the king and hegemon in the chess room of the Yuelai Inn, and they must be able to represent the highest level of most townspeople in Meilong Town, although the old man Liu had the best conditions for learning chess, he had one-on-one guidance from himself and Su Quan, and he learned a lot more moves than those townspeople. However, in terms of actual combat experience, it is a little worse, and when the game is played, those few will definitely go all out to win for the sake of generous prize money, and will not put the winner in second place like the old man's previous opponents (including himself), and this situation is judged by his experience when he was young and learning chess, and the actual combat team is often more threatening.

"These three people, Fumio, you can arrange it, and invite them to come over and play a few games of chess when you have time."

Yuan Lang said politely, but Mrs. Liu knew very well in his heart - what kind of hard fighting, he must have felt that his own winning face was not big and did not want to hurt his own face, but he also knew that since it was a competition, there would be no one to be polite to anyone at that time, the so-called knowing the other side, invincible in a hundred battles, it is precisely because the odds of victory are not large, preparations must be more sufficient, as soon as possible to find out the three people's chess path, according to the weaknesses of the opponents to formulate strategies and tactics.

"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it tomorrow."

Liu Wenxiong agreed very happily, with his face, who in Meilong Town can't be invited?

"Teacher Yuan, apart from these three people, is there anyone else who needs special attention?"

Since this topic has been discussed, Mrs. Liu simply continued to chat.

"Uh, except for the students of Wuya and Wanjuanlou, it is estimated that the level in the town is high enough, and they will definitely participate in the competition, right?"

Yuan Lang said uncertainly, after all, he had never been to the chess room, and he didn't know much about the townspeople who often went there to play chess.

"Hmm, that's the case, do you mean that as long as I can win against Tian Dayi and the three of them in the game, the championship is basically mine?"

In Mrs. Liu's heart, those ignorant children don't have to worry at all, Yuan Lang and Su, who have the highest level in Meilong Town, don't participate in the competition, and their real opponents are only Tian Dayi, Lin Lao Wu and Pang Lao Si, so if you count, your chances of getting the first place are not low (after all, these three people can't all meet in the game, if you're lucky, as long as you win one of them, you may be able to reach the top).

"This one, hehe"

, Hearing this question, Yuan Lang laughed dryly, obviously wanting to play 'Wang Gu talks about him left and right'.

"Uh, Mr. Yuan, why are you smiling and not answering? Is my question too naïve? ”

Seeing that Yuan Lang didn't answer, Old Lady Liu asked strangely.

"Oh, don't dare. To tell the truth, Tian Dayi, Lin Lao Wu, Pang Lao Si's chess play is very good, but you are still in the middle of the game with the old lady, a game of victory or defeat, who wins and who loses is difficult to assert, the problem is that it is not only a few of them who participate in the game, when the time comes, the children of Xue Wuya and Wanjuanlou will also participate. ”

Yuan Lang explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see, Mr. Yuan, do you mean that those children are stronger than Tian Dayi? No way? ”

After listening to this, Liu Wenxiong asked suspiciously-whether it is a special Go school or Wanjuanlou, Go is only one of the many teaching subjects, as far as he knows, the two teachers usually only arrange one class time a day to teach Go, and the arrangement of other times is no different from before, so the time that those children really spend on chess is actually far less than Tian Dayi, Lin Laowu, Pang Laosi and others, not to mention Mrs. Liu, the so-called one point of pay and one point of gain, said that the strength of those children was stronger than Tian Dayi, and he couldn't believe it anyway.
