Chapter 21 · Chess

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, the program we have been preparing for a long time is about to begin."

As soon as the game trigger roll was finished, a manager-like person stood up and politely announced it to the guests.

Although the manager said that he had prepared a good program a long time ago, Ke Zhiguang always felt that if he didn't rub this roll, the store would never be well prepared.

"Our program today is related to Go, how many of the guests here are willing to participate, why don't you raise your hand?" Said the manager.

Ke Zhiguang raised his hand.

Shuicheng Xiyue looked at Ke Zhiguang, who was raising his hand brightly, and could only follow up and raise his hand.

In addition, there are also many customers who raise their hands, and sure enough, in this era, anyone who grabs one on the street can play chess.

And the group of elementary school students who came in before all raised their hands.

At this moment, Ke Zhiguang seemed to understand something, this event was prepared for these elementary school students, the kind that had been scheduled for a long time.

Speaking of which, with the consumption level of this store, the family situation of this group of students is naturally very good, and the club organization can naturally hold such an event.

It's like a gallery holding a children's art exhibition to harvest parents, who are happy to pay the money in order to give their young children confidence.

This routine is often seen by Ke Zhiguang.

In this case, the rules of the next activities will naturally be biased in their favor.

"Very well, it seems that there are a lot of people interested in this game, but what we are going to do now is not a game, but a chess competition."

Chess is a general term for all chess topics, not only Go, but also Xiangqi, shogi, and even backgammon.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still a Go topic.

"Every four people are divided into a group, to solve the problem in a group, the first group to solve the problem, can get a voucher of 50,000 yuan, the second place has 25,000, the third place also has 10,000, but further down, there can only be a 1,000 yuan consolation prize, but the premise is to solve on time."

Hearing this reward, the children at the next table are eager to try, although this reward is not too big, far less than the numbers that parents have passed by in a flash, but for children, the meaning of encouragement will be far greater than the actual meaning.

The competitive spirit peculiar to elementary school students is stimulated.

"So with a voucher, can I use it with a half-price coupon?" Ke Zhiguang raised his hand and asked.

"Well, of course." The manager nodded politely, "But I have to make it clear beforehand, in order to prevent plagiarism and cheating, each group gets a different question." ”

Ke Zhiguang heard the implication of these words.

That is, except for the children, the other guests will get a little more difficult questions.

"slightly" in quotation marks.

But it doesn't hurt for Ke Zhiguang, the Go thing, just roll up your sleeves and do it.

"Excuse me, do you have any questions?"

"There is no doubt." Ke Zhiguang said.

"Very well, let's start grouping now." The manager announced with a smile.

At the beginning of the group activity, the primary school students were bustling with each other, and the same party gathered together, and the rest of the guests did not move much, too lazy to look for group members, indicating that they could play without a few people.

Ke Zhiguang suddenly inserted an adult couple into the table, forcibly forming four people, these two people looked extremely excited, and they had been chattering, showing the anticipation of a schoolboy's spring outing for this sudden small activity.

"Hello, my name is Yukie Matsumoto, and his name is Sho Sai Xingren, what about you?" The woman in the couple asked as soon as she came up, full of the smile of a mature big sister.

"Hello, my name is Shuicheng Xiyue, and his name is Ke Zhiguang." Mizuki Yuzuki responded politely.

"Ke Zhiguang...... Does the name sound strange? A woman named Yukie Matsumoto chewed on what looked like a pure kanji pronunciation.

As for the name of Kojimitsu, Mizuki Yuzuki has always been difficult to do, and the Japanese are accustomed to pronouncing kanji with curly tongues, which has always been at the level of two knives, just like the l and r in Japanese English.

"Why don't you just call him light." Mizuki Yuzuki had an idea, and thought of this concise title, and there are many people in Japanese names called Hikari.

"Well, got it, so how many years have you been dating Xiaoguang?" Yukie Matsumoto asked playfully, holding her jaw.

"This ...... We are not ......" Mizuki Yuzuki's tongue knotted for a while, and her hands swayed like fans in front of her chest, not knowing how to refute.

"Huh? You're not a couple? A man and a woman eating in such a place are actually not lovers? The woman was taken aback, and then showed a wavy mocking face.

Shuicheng Xiyue was even more speechless at this time, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

She turned her head to look at Ke Zhiguang - sure enough, this person did not have the slightest embarrassment of being mistaken for a couple, but seriously discussed tactics with the man, and the difference in thinking between men and women was especially obvious at this moment.

"Do you see, is this event for this group of elementary school students?" Shang Xixing put his arm on Ke Zhiguang's shoulder and quietly pointed at the group of elementary school students.

"Yes." Ke Zhiguang nodded.

"If you know, then it's easy to say, then you also know this hateful class difference, right?" The man gritted his teeth.

"Roughly understood."

"Yes, they are just a bunch of hateful children of rich families, who will sooner or later become devils, and we will beat them hard now, maybe it will be more conducive to their growth."

Shang Xixing was a little indignant, he had never had the opportunity to receive such a good education before, and he could also see that this activity was to help this group of elementary school students increase their self-confidence, or to help them be happy, but in fact, it was nothing.

But it's very unpleasant that this store is a foil for such a group of elementary school students under the pretext that all customers can participate in the event.

Shang Xixing decided to sanction this group of primary school students.

Ke Zhiguang didn't have so many ideas, he felt that this was at best a KFC helping children celebrate their birthdays, and others could just follow and see the excitement.

"They're expected to send us a little tougher questions, are you really sure?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

"Don't worry, I had an amateur 3-dan level at the beginning, and I guarantee that I can take you to lie down and win the test." Shang Xixing people smiled heartily and confidently.

At the beginning, this word was used well.

Maybe it's the kind of chess that I learned for a few years in elementary school and then didn't touch it after I entered middle school.

It's like Akisheng Shoichi is also boasting at home that he almost became a student at the beginning.

Ke Zhiguang still gave a thumbs up to the other party and cast a look of mutual trust between the men

"It's good when you see your girlfriend...... Bah! The moment I learned about your chess strength, I knew your thighs, and I held it. ”

"Very well, with this realization, just - wait! What's that sentence before you say bah? Why does it sound so dangerous? ”

"Why, you heard me wrong."

"Is that so?" Shang Xixing scratched his head.

The waiter on the side heard the conversation at Ke Zhiguang's table, and then quietly came to the manager's side and whispered: "Their table claims to have a chess player with three dans, and another man and a woman are wearing the school uniforms of Yunjing Middle School, if I remember correctly, the Go club there is very powerful." ”

The manager replied disdainfully: "It's going to be a national high school students' Go league soon, and all the powerful students have gone to the dormitory, and there are students who have time to eat here, at most amateur one or two dans, and I can also see which people are high in chess and which ones are just high in mouth." ”

As a manager who holds similar activities all year round, he thinks that he still has a very good way of looking at people, sometimes just looking at a person's words and deeds, you can know the depth of this person's chess strength, if you really find that there is a powerful master, he will politely step forward, begging him not to participate in this game, and the other party is also out of the face and reserve of the master, most of them will agree.

This self-proclaimed amateur third dan person doesn't look reliable, and the rest of the ordinary guests are all standard mediocre chess players, the kind that is suitable for going to the Go room to play pension chess.

The only thing that made the manager feel unstable was the male student who stood up first to ask the question, and when he got up to ask the question, he seemed to ask it with an attitude of imperativeness.

"Just to be on the safe side, give them that set of questions." The manager whispered to his subordinates.

"Yes, yes, that's the set of questions." Subordinate ha-waisted.

It didn't take long for the question to be presented.

Four sheets of A4 paper are printed with different questions, a total of 16 questions, use a pencil to mark the order of solution on the score, of course, also mark the best way to deal with the enemy, can be modified with an eraser.

Time limit, 10 minutes.

"What, the title is very simple, this is the fourth board, and the fourth is the song, it's too pediatric, right?" The first time Shang Xixing people saw the topic, they felt that it was super simple.

The question requirement is black to kill white.

In the black formation, there are four white pieces in half, surrounded by scattered black and white matches.

But the shape of the white chess pieces is all board four and curve four.

This kind of is a common foolish shape in Go, and when you hear this name, you will know that it is not a good chess shape, which is quite ugly, and some professional chess players would rather directly throw a piece to admit defeat than this shape.

And each of the four questions on the paper is basically trying to eat the shape, which seems to be a breeze.

"I'm sorry, I accepted 50,000 yuan like this." He picked up his pen and found a nearby problem to solve.

The manager chuckled to himself: "Stupid. ”

As if responding to this stupidity in the air, Shang Xixingren's pencil suddenly slammed into place.

It seems to be a wrong step, so I simply picked up the eraser and changed it.

But after a few strokes, I felt that something was wrong.

Change it again, make it wrong again......

His face froze slightly, as if he had seen an indescribable phenomenon like an octopus's head.

What the hell is this?

From the point of view of the chess shape, black should be able to easily seal white, but it seems that white can always flip the encirclement, and finally black needs to use the means of flying to cover white.

But as he calculated, he found that the calculation process was a bit complicated, as if it was not the kind of problem that could be seen at a few glances.

Indescribable.

Incomprehensible.

"Isn't that wrong?" Shang Xixing complained in a low voice, stood up and looked down at the question of the elementary school students next door, and the difficulty gap was really reflected at once.

The tables of this group of elementary school students are all normal life-and-death questions, and the difficulty is much lower, and with Shang Xixingren's current chess strength, he can also see at a glance where the first move should be.

"There's really nothing wrong with the question, it's just more difficult, and the difficulty of your question is just three paragraphs." Ke Zhiguang said calmly on the side, his gaze also firmly on the topic in front of him.

"Three paragraphs? How do you see this? Shang Xixing was stunned.

"It's not important, it's Brother Xingren, you can start your amateur three-stage performance."

"This ..... Ahem, gotta think about it for a while, think about it for a while. Shang Xixing people seemed to be choked and didn't dare to say more.

With the effect of the golden finger, Ke Zhiguang can see the difficulty of each question.

The moment he saw the difficulty of each question, Ke Zhiguang gently took a cool breath at the sunset outside the window.

The difficulty of the two questions is 1K.

The difficulty of the five questions is one paragraph.

The difficulty of the three questions is 2 paragraphs. The difficulty of the two questions is 3 paragraphs.

There are also two questions with a difficulty of five paragraphs.

There are two last questions..... The difficulty is seven levels.

It seems to have gotten a script of hellish difficulty.
