572: I want hot water!
Looking at Luo Meng's disappearing back, Yuri smiled inwardly:
"Luo Meng, I'll eat you tomorrow, Go skills can't be improved all at once, even if you look for Ye Gongzi now, it's impossible to pass on any stunts to you, let's see tomorrow."
The next day, Luo Meng came over early in the morning to accompany Ye Tian to chess, and it was three games in the morning and three games in the afternoon.
Moreover, Luo Meng, as the captain, instructed Yuri to inspect the three mines.
As a subordinate, Yuri can only follow the orders of Captain Luo Meng, and there can be no complaints.
In the base, although everyone can joke and entertain each other in normal times, when it comes to work, there is a strict hierarchy, and there must be no resistance, otherwise, you will be punished.
In the evening, the second round of Go matches at the base began.
Yesterday's 68 people, after the first round of elimination, there are 34 people left, divided into 17 groups to fight.
In order to better play the entertainment effect, the base stationmaster David first let nine groups face off, and after dividing the winners and losers, he will play the next eight groups of games.
Thinkers
Luo Meng and Yuri were ranked in the second batch of eight groups.
Before this duel, Yuri deliberately arranged a small episode.
A captain of the same level as Luo Meng, Yuri's cousin Yujue came over and said loudly to Luo Meng:
"Haha, Captain Luo, I bet you will lose to Yuri in this game."
Luo Meng also laughed and said:
"Oh, your mother, how can you conclude that I will definitely lose to Yuri."
"Hehe, do I still know how stinky your chess skills are? Do you dare to make a bet with me. ”
"Bet on what?"
I still feel a smile,
"If you lose, you will give up the captain's position to Yuri,
Yuri's genetic evolution level is no worse than yours, and his mental power is already higher than yours. ”
As soon as he said it so loudly, some people in the crowd of onlookers actually echoed and coaxed.
"That's right, I also think Yuri is good, and he is qualified to be the captain."
"Alas, there are no vacant positions in the base now, Captain Luo is pressing this Yuri, how can Yuri have a chance?"
......
The stationmaster David stood aside, watching everyone tear apart lightly, without any reaction.
There is no need to intervene in this kind of thing at all, just let them tear it up, just have fun, no one dares to really fight and turn their faces over this matter, just reveal some desires through words.
If Luo Meng hadn't gotten Ye Tian's guidance yesterday and had a six- or seven-percent grasp of today's battle situation, he would have jumped up and angered when he heard this.
Bu Luo Meng was surprisingly calm, smiled, and looked at Yuri,
"Yuri, your wings are stiff, you want to be the captain? You must think the same way, right? ”
Yuri was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed face:
"Captain Luo, you misunderstood, I have always respected you,
Cousin, don't joke about Captain Cairo, even if I really defeat Captain Luo, but Captain Luo is old, I still respect him the same. ”
Luo Meng: "......"
Ni-Ma, what are these words, isn't this clearly telling everyone that I'm old and don't reuse, and I'm not Yuri's opponent?
Yu Jue even mocked on the side:
"Captain Luo should be strong, and he can continue to struggle in the leadership position for a few years, haha."
Luo Meng glared at Yu Jue angrily, and said loudly:
"What if I win? What are you gambling on? ”
"If you win Yuri, I'm willing to lose you 100 million crystals!"
100 million wafers is not a decimal number.
The onlookers at the scene immediately smashed the pot and began to discuss.
"These two people have a bar!"
"Alas, Yujue is to help his cousin Yuri, so he came forward to scare Luo Meng."
"However, then again, Yuri is indeed good, he has already surpassed Luo Meng, and our base has always been based on strength."
"The station master is also embarrassed, Luo Meng has been here for three years, hard and hardworking, no mistakes, and it's not easy to replace, right?"
"Can you take out 100 million crystals?"
"Yes, Yujue's family is also a small rich family in Wuxing, and it is not a big problem to smash the pot and sell iron to make up 100 million crystals."
"Is this necessary? Bet so big? ”
"Of course there is, Yuri is still young, and only when he is promoted to captain can he have the opportunity to continue to rise, otherwise, he will be crushed for the rest of his life."
......
There are all kinds of discussions.
The stationmaster David also felt that this gamble was a bit big, coughed lightly, and said:
"You still feel, Luo Meng, just joke about the two of you, don't really bet on this, besides, can the captain position of our base be used for gambling?"
The last sentence carries some rebuke and coercion.
Yu Jue immediately bowed his head and said:
"I'm sorry, Station Master, I just made a joke with Luo Meng on a whim, don't you mind."
"No way!"
Luo Meng suddenly interrupted Yu Jue's words, and bowed to Station Master David:
"Stationmaster, I have a request."
"Oh? Go ahead. ”
"I'm playing against Yuri in this game, and if I lose, I'm going to take the initiative to resign as my captain."
"Ahh
In the hall, everyone screamed in surprise.
"Luo Meng, this is really playing!"
"It's too impulsive."
"Luo Meng has always been very impulsive."
"Luo Meng is really finished this time."
"He can't be thinking about the 100 million crystals, right? He's greedy. ”
......
Station Commander David's face was grim, and he said coldly:
"Luo Meng, you think clearly, I'll give you a chance to retract what you just said, and I'll treat it as nothing."
David intends to help Luo Meng, after all, Luo Meng, as his old minister, still has some friendship and credit.
However, in front of everyone, he can't be too partial, and in addition, those who have the ability go up and those who don't have the ability go down, this requirement is also highly respected by him.
In the base, the twenty captains under him are the most core intermediate forces, and before that, five captains were retired by their subordinates because of their abilities.
Now this Yuri, he also appreciates it very much, but he feels that it is not yet time to remove Luo Meng, and Luo Meng can support it for at least half a year.
If Luo Meng takes the initiative to resign, it will be a different matter, and it will not involve the issue of gambling positions.
The position of the base is a public office, and of course private gambling is not allowed to transfer it.
Luo Meng looked firm and said:
"Station Master, I still want to win Yuri and earn 100 million crystals to return to Wuxing for retirement."
"Haha....."
Luo Meng's words made everyone laugh.
Only the two brothers, Yuli and Yujue, were secretly happy in their hearts, according to their design, this Luo Meng really had no brains, was impulsive, and was provoked by Yujue, and he was really fooled and gambled.
Of course, now the bet is on resignation, not the transfer of positions, which makes Yu Jue glance at Luo Menggao.
The brain is spinning fast, and I know that I have avoided the taboos of the base.
Stationmaster David frowned slightly, and said coldly:
"Luo Meng, this is true, don't be impulsive." "Station Master, this is true, if I lose, I will resign as the captain, as for who you let replace me, it is up to you to decide, however, I want you to be a witness, if Yuri loses, Yuju must lose to me 100 million crystals."
Stationmaster David looked at him:
"Yujue, you provoked this matter, what do you say? Give a chance to retract your previous words, however, you have to apologize to Luo Meng in public, otherwise, once Luo Meng wins, you must fulfill your promise, and I am a witness. ”
As a witness, the stationmaster David gave Yujue a life and did not dare to break his promise.
It's a big deal right now.
There was silence in the hall, and no one joked anymore, knowing that the two sides might really be on the same page.
Yu Jue gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and bowed:
"Station Master, I admit this gamble, if Luo Meng wins, I will lose 100 million crystals to him."
Yuri on the side suddenly had an ominous feeling and wanted to stop his cousin, but he hesitated, but he didn't make a sound after all.
The situation brewing by himself, shouting tears is going to go down.
Besides, he usually plays against Luo Meng, and nine out of ten times he wins, and this time, Luo Meng should be no exception.
Stationmaster David nodded and said:
"Okay, I'm a witness, everyone on the scene is a witness, in this case, this one will be held separately, and the rest of the pairs of players will be postponed for the time being, let's start."
Luo Meng and Yuri took their seats.
In the draw, Yuri got the first opportunity and went first.
Yuri smiled slightly, his consciousness moved slightly, and a black seed fell on the chessboard.
Luo Meng glanced at Yuri, smiled, was not in a hurry to play chess, glanced at it, and beckoned to Lucy, the waiter standing in the hall:
"Lucy, bring me a glass of water."
There are five staff members in the hall, who are waiting to serve everyone tea and water.
When Lucy heard Luo Meng's call, she immediately walked over with a glass of water and put it in front of Luo Meng.
Luo Meng took it, and the right hand holding the water cup exerted a slight force, and a white ice mist rose up, and the whole cup of water immediately became cold, and there were obvious ice cubes on the edge of the water cup.
Luo Meng picked up the water cup, took a big sip, and shouted "cool",
Putting down the water glass, his consciousness moved slightly, and a white seed flew to the chessboard and fell.
After the first few chess pieces fell, the two entered a hand-to-hand offensive and defensive battle.
Luo Meng remembered in his heart that Ye Tian resisted, and before every move, he had to consider the next three moves, and he also had to think about Yuri's possible counterattack.
Thinking about it this way, the speed of chess is significantly slower than usual.
Yuri glanced at Luo Meng, with a little dissatisfaction, and thought, how slow you are is is like that, sooner or later you will lose.
However, Luo Meng was still his boss after all, so he could only glance at it and didn't dare to say anything.
As a competition, there is no time limit.
Luo Meng played steadily like this, thinking about the next few moves with each move, although he didn't have any advantage, but he didn't lose points.
After walking dozens of steps, Luo Meng was very satisfied with today's performance, became more and more confident, and the whole person became more calm.
Plus whether to take a sip of ice water and keep yourself calm without the slightest impulse and recklessness.
Half an hour passed, and less than sixty pieces were played on the board.
Yuri began to feel a little anxious in his heart, and couldn't help urging:
"Captain Luo, can we speed up a little, you see, the station master and everyone are watching from the sidelines."
Luo Meng smiled, took a sip of ice water, and shouted to Lucy in the distance:
"Lucy, pour me more water."
