"Next, I announce that the 2004 National Go Tournament, the qualifiers, has officially begun!”
As soon as the chief examiner finished speaking, all the contestants stood up and bowed to their opponents.
Then, he sat down and started the competition.
Since this was a qualifier, the format might be different from the official competition.
In the qualifiers, each person had to compete in ten matches, and seven out of these ten matches had to be won to qualify.
In this first match, his luck was not very good. Lin Chen did not meet Wang Chong.
However, their seats were not far apart.
Even though the competition had begun, he was still provoking Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, if you don't listen to senior, you'll suffer a loss.”
"I don't know how you got into the dojo, but you've only just joined the training camp.”
"But strength can't be faked. It's better to go back and train for another two years, so as not to lose face in front of so many people!”
"When the time comes, if you get beaten up badly, as a person who fought with you in the martial arts world, it will be very embarrassing, do you understand?”
Wang Chong acted as if he was serious, but even if Lin Chen heard him, he did not make any movements.
In the face of such mockery, he did not even have the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.
Perhaps in his heart, Wang Chong was just a clown who did not realize that he was a clown?
When Wang Chong saw that Lin Chen was ignoring him, his expression became a little ugly.
Seeing that the examiner had heard the commotion and was already coming over, he could only shut his mouth helplessly.
However, the way he looked at Lin Chen was filled with hatred.
If nothing unexpected happened, he was probably thinking about how he would torture Lin Chen when he met him.
…………
"Why is this contestant standing for no reason?”
Ten minutes had passed, and most of the players were still working hard on their arrangements.
Even Wang Chong kept recalling the dirty tricks his teacher taught him.
However, it was also at this moment that Lin Chen's sudden standing attracted his attention. Even the examiner was attracted at this moment.
"It's my respect for you to go all out in the game. I hope you don't take offense.”
"Thank you."
Wang Chong was still maliciously guessing if Lin Chen had admitted defeat when the examiner walked over.
Lin Chen said this with a calm expression, then bowed gently to his opponent.
"Contestant, this is…"
The examiner walked over. When he saw that Lin Chen was still standing, he did not understand and even planned to punish him.
However, when he looked at the chessboard and saw that the twins had landed on the bottom right of the chessboard, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"The first round of qualifiers, Stage 18, contestant A, Lin Chen, has won.”
The recorder was stunned.
The other contestants were also stunned.
It had only been ten minutes!
This should still be the stage of planning, right? He won just like that?
"You're very strong. Pardon me for being blunt, but you shouldn't have just joined the ranking competition.”
"I hope I won't run into you twice in a row, or else I might not even pass the qualifiers.”
The opponent also bowed to Lin Chen. One could feel that his words were filled with bitterness.
He did not even show the unwillingness of a normal person to clench his fists after losing the game.
Because he knew that this match was a complete victory for the other party. He simply had no strength to fight back!
He had lost this match wholeheartedly!
"I hope so. Good luck.”
The other party's chess skills were not bad. Lin Chen also smiled and encouraged the other party.
She followed him out of the training room calmly.
Firstly, he did not show off to Wang Chong, and secondly, he did not show off.
However, this guy started to react for no reason.
"How is this possible?"
"This guy must have met a rookie, right…otherwise, how could he have taken him down so quickly?”
"I even used Teacher's joseki.”
"In a situation where I basically don't need to think, I'm already in the middle.”
"Humph! I hope his luck will always be this good!"
…………
After a total of 15 minutes, Lin Chen walked out of the competition venue. The first thing he did was to run up to Hong He.
"How is it, Lin Chen? Is the other party's expression very desperate?”
"It's a pity that I can't see clearly from the outside. It's a pity that the other side isn't Wang Chong!”
Hearing Hong He's words, Lin Chen laughed helplessly.
"Why should I feel despair? I won't deliberately target them.”
"This is just a normal competition, and it's not a match that decides the outcome. Why should we despair?”
Lin Chen then walked back to the lounge while Hong He followed beside him and asked about his well-being.
"Alright, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you doing this?”
Lin Chen was a little disgusted. When Hong He heard this, he chuckled.
"Lin Chen, do you still remember what I said before?”
"It's about Wang Chong."
"I've heard that high-level Go players can exert a lot of pressure on low-level Go players through the game.”
"For example, at the beginning of my match with Chu Ying, I was beaten until I was sweating profusely!”
"So…hehe, I've been unhappy with that guy for a long time. Help me teach him a lesson!”
Hong He rubbed his palms together, the smile on his face covering his eyes. He looked like a sneaky person, you know?
"Ahem, that depends on your performance. I'll rest and prepare for the second round.”
Lin Chen wanted to joke with Hong He.
But who knew that Hong He had a look of realization on his face.
He ran out of the door and ran straight to the high-end and fragrant braised beef shop.
Lin Chen was speechless.
…………
As time passed,
The second match, the third match…
Until the eighth round of the qualifiers.
Lin Chen and Wang Chong did not meet again.
However, every time Lin Chen finished a match, he could feel the jealous gaze of this person.
Although Lin Chen did not have too many negative emotions in his heart, he also hoped that he could meet Wang Chong as soon as possible.
Perhaps Wang Chong was already so disgusting that it angered the heavens and people?
In the ninth match of the pre-competition, the two of them…
They finally met on the chessboard!
"Hehe, although I don't know how you managed to win consecutively and end the match so quickly.”
"But now that you've met me, it's different!”
Wang Chong, who was extremely jealous, had already begun to suspect that Lin Chen was cheating. However, he did not have any evidence, so it was not good to report him.
But now…
As long as he and Lin Chen fought personally, as long as he found that the other party's strength and battle record did not match,
Humph, humph, I'm sorry, if you're caught cheating in the ranking competition, you won't be allowed to re-rank for three years!
…………
Regarding this plot, the author wanted to say," Even though Wang Chong was a nobody, he was enough to cheat!
Anyway, the author had been unhappy with this character setting for a long time when he read the original novel. Even Zhao Bingfeng's chess skills were terrible and annoying. It was simply passed down from generation to generation!
Therefore, the author especially wanted to target this guy. I don't know if you guys agree with him.
