"Lao Huang, why are you unhappy?" The middle-aged man sitting next to him, looking at the ceremonial flowers of the victory of the guild battle on the screen, and looking at Lao Huang with an unwilling face, he was a little confused.

Not only him, but people who are familiar with Lao Huang's personality in the software all looked at Lao Huang, who went offline early, and sent messages to care about him.

"I lost. Lost to that little fairy. Lao Huang said a little lonely.

"Little fairy? There are so many little fairies in this guild, which one do you say? The middle-aged man lit a cigarette indifferently and said: "Anyway, no matter which little fairy it is, in this software, chess is about teamwork, and what about strong individual ability?" Besides, I guess you just let the water out because the opponent was a girl, right? ”

"No, look..." Lao Huang pulled the middle-aged man and reviewed the chess he had just lost in the chess master software that came with the computer.

Gradually, the indifferent expression on the middle-aged man's face slowly turned into cautiousness, and even if the cigarette in his mouth was half a finger of cigarette ash, he didn't have time to play it.

"This man's chess power can be described as amazing." When the cigarette ash fell on the computer desk, the middle-aged man took the cigarette from his mouth and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Indeed, it is astonishing. Let's just say that this hand into the car and abandon the car, let alone people, even the 64-core artificial chess intelligence does not have such great courage. ”

"Well, just these three hands abandon the car, the horse, and the gun, and he can cut off him as a chess player who uses artificial intelligence to play chess. By the way, you said that he is gold, how is this possible? This chess power is at least the level of a professional chess master. "This middle-aged man was also a professional chess player when he was young, although he was only a first-class chess player at the highest rank, but he also played against many chess masters, and the level of strength judgment is still quite high.

"He's probably looking for a chess heart." Lao Huang sighed a little, he leaned back in the chair, recalling his mental journey of playing against this unknown chess player, he smiled bitterly and said: "If this person can shape his own chess heart and embark on his own chess path, then at most three years, there will be a place for him in the history of chess after all." ”

"It's not that exaggerated." The middle-aged man snuffed out his cigarette, and he said seriously to this old friend: "Although this person is very good at chess. But when he plays chess, he likes the sword too much. It is said that playing chess is like a person, and this kind of person who likes to go off the rails is estimated to be a gloomy and treacherous person in reality. How can such a person have a place in the history of chess? ”

"By the way, this person is the one who set a fifty-game winning streak in the software some time ago, right?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Then it's even more impossible, a professional chess player doesn't even have the most basic chess player qualities, so what's the use of high chess skills?" The middle-aged man thought carefully about the game of chess again, and he laughed: "Next time I meet him, I will help you take revenge." ”

Lao Huang looked at this confident friend, he had a lot to say, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Because he knew this friend of his, although he was still arrogant and mediocre at his age. But his chess strength is much higher than his own. If it weren't for the "millennial change" in the Chess Association twenty years ago, this friend would have become the chess master he admired.

"Forget it, next time you meet me and find the field by myself." Lao Huang patted his old friend on the shoulder and thought back to today's game of chess again.

He was even more emotional and full of expectations.

Because, as an amateur chess player, playing against professional chess players, you have the fun of playing chess by yourself.

……

"26:4" Yang Zheng suddenly felt a little speechless.

He really didn't expect that the guild chess strength he added casually would be so low, and he would lose the play-in tournament with a big score and no face.

Of course, what he didn't know was that this time their guild randomly found that the opponent was also the top 20 in the guild's chess power ranking in the entire software.

However, even if he knew, he would not discourage the idea of retiring because his opponent was too strong.

He turned on the public screen to speak, and decided to say a word before leaving.

But what he didn't expect was that when he opened the public screen to speak and looked at it casually, he only felt that life was not easy.

When any new thing brings the word opportunity and money, then it will subtly change the lives of countless people.

Especially in this software, excessive publicity, the monetary benefits of the benchmark, and the income of the top users on the homepage are as high as millions, so that countless men, women, adults, the elderly, and even children who are eager to change their status quo have poured into this software one after another.

How many people have given up their stable jobs and big dreams for the sake of this change, and have linked their life goals to money?

How many people will forget the fact that people like them, who are not very good at chess, will only struggle around the subsistence line for the sake of the income of the top chess players?

How many people, because of trust and desire, put all their net worth on the broken wrist of a strong man to make a big gamble to "change their fate" in this virtual world, and finally quit with nothing?

No one will tell you the reality that even if you work hard, it's just an average.

They will only use the word "dream" to fool countless people into the world they have built one after another to help them realize their dreams.

At least, this is the software.

At least, so is the president of the union.

In order to have a good future of top traffic, top guilds, and top income like the homepage, she has already put in 200,000 before and after.

But in exchange for 200,000 yuan, she can't even get out of the guild play-in tournament once a month.

Obviously, she also made a bloody effort to gather masters, and obviously she is also working hard to improve herself.

However, in the play-in round, he not only pays attention to winning or losing a game, but also pays attention to scientific distribution and luck.

He won't be like other formats, the schedule is best-of-three, and he won't be like other software, where the play-ins are all random. From the very beginning, he scientifically separated the strong and the weak, and also separated the people who had a fluke mentality and those who did not. He is cruel, cruel, and even he is the most essential thing in chess.

That is, on the chessboard, you will never look at the process, only win or lose.

Yang Zheng looked at the president, who was a stranger to him, while comforting the members, gritting his teeth and fulfilling his promise in advance that he could win the rewards of the play-in competition.

In the end, he relented and shook his head, and did not choose to withdraw from the meeting.

Because, in this president, he saw the lives of most people in modern times.

A life of fatigue and no dreams, but pretending to have dreams.
