Before we knew it, the moon was full and missing two more rounds.
The warmth of midsummer gradually faded away, and the sky began to appear high and clear blue. Although the sun was still bright, it was no longer scorching. There is a hint of coolness in the breeze.
Time will soon come September 11th.
This is a pleasant day. Although the leaves on both sides of the Nanguo Road have not yet turned from emerald green to golden, the appropriate temperature and humidity still tell the arrival of the new season.
At 4:50 p.m. that day, Dongjiang Chess Academy, Dongjiang City.
In the sixth round of the regular season of the Escort, the Beijing team challenged Dongjiang team away, and the competition for the main player battle had just ended.
Lei Qi, who was in black, successfully won Zhuang Zheng, continuing his record of winning so far this season, and is also one of the only two winning players in the AFC this season.
I have to say that in the past two months, China's young leadership has remained strong.
Not only did I successfully win the quota in the Nongxin Cup qualifiers in mid-July, the prize money list has also skyrocketed, and now it has exceeded the second place by more than one million!
With only one World Cup left this year, such a large lead can be said to have locked in the world's strongest chess player quota in advance!
But even so, it is still hard to say how happy Lei Qi was at this time. It was just that everything was playing and training as usual, and trying to achieve better performance, that's all.
However, when he walked to the contestant's rest area, he was still slightly surprised when he saw a familiar figure:
"...Dad?!
" > "Didn't you say you don't have to come here? I'll just take the subway back by myself. "
Yes, Lei Jingming was sitting in the rest area of the players of the Beijing team, as if he was waiting for his son!
When Lao Lei Jiuduan saw his son returning from triumphant return, he naturally smiled: "Hey, this is not that messy on Saturday anyway, and I'm fine, so I'll pick you up!" >"If you have nothing to do, go and help our army guide the training! The first quarter of October 1st will start!
"Our sponsorship fee of 300,000 can't be spent in vain, right! "
Lei Qi's tone revealed a lot of helplessness:
"The Zhaomiao Cup is different from the Weijia! Because there is no such thing as relegation, the playoffs only take the first eight teams in the regular season! "Only, the results are good, and my mother's furniture factory is exposed. It's so high!
"Don't be embarrassed if you can't even enter the playoffs then! You're scolded by my mother!"
"No, no! I usually catch them! No This time!
"This time our family's 'Dongjiang Qinming Pojun' can definitely completely overwhelm his 'Muhu Education Wenqu'! ”
At this time, Coach Lei, who was the leader of the army, was confident and indeed quite confident.
Although the small players of the Zhaomiao Cup are scattered across the country during other days outside the game, relying on the Internet chess and connections, even the four players of the Pojun Army are only one of them. In Dongjiang, Lei Jingming, who was already doing nothing at home, always put a tight round on them:
"...I tell you, this is what I wanted to persist on the field more, but I didn't. Go and take the students early! "If you want to take them early, how can he have anything to do with him! It’s time for me to have many students all over the world! "
Lei Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then showed a grumpy smile:
"Okay! Then I'll wait and see! "This is a competition organized by your student. Don't embarrass her if you are a teacher! "
"I said it, please wrap it with me! "
Old Lei Jiuduan expressed his determination again, and then pretended to be careless and looked at Lei Qi again. Seeing that his son seemed to be completely different, he continued to talk about the subsequent topic: "Oh, right son! Regarding the sponsorship fees and additional bonuses of the Po Army, your mom thinks it is more appropriate for us to pay!
"After all, this team is the name of your mother's furniture factory..."
"Stop it first!
"It's all a family, what do you two say about the stranger! ”
"But..."
"Nothing but! If you don’t affect my mood, then do it like this! ”
Lei Qi said very affirmatively: "My annual bonus is the first in China's gap, and this amount of money is still affordable! Don't compete with me!" >"Then, that's all up to you!
"Hey, son, what do you want to eat at night? Dad first buys good vegetables online and lets you deliver them. When you get home..."
< br>Seeing his son saying this, Lei Jingming dared not persist anymore, so he quickly started talking about other words.
And Lei Qi responded naturally, everything was as usual.
Although Lei Jingming was careful to hide his true purpose, in Lei Qi's opinion, his father's thoughts were easy to guess:
It's just that he was worried that he was just in the day before yesterday. The new defeat in Jinzhu City will only affect his emotional mentality - when he first arrived home last night, he obviously felt his father's caution.
But he also understood that if he wanted to maintain the most basic decency in front of that old enemy, he had to do better—in any aspect.
So, although I was inevitably a little unwilling to accept it, Xiao Lei Jiuduan still acted as usual at this time, patiently doing everything as best as possible.
Even if that first person in the world is only one step away from the best in history...

”…
”…Okay! Today’s press conference for Liu Shixian’s ninth dan championship ends here. Thank you to all the guests and media friends for their participation and questions!
"At the same time, congratulations to Liu Shixian for his 15th World Championship in Jiudan! "I wish you excellent results at the upcoming China-Beijing Asian Games and the last time you missed at the Qiantang Asian Games. Men's personal gold medal! ”
”Thank you! ”
At the same time, in the auditorium of the South Korean Chess Academy, the first city in South Korea.
A quite grand news conference is coming to an end.
As the host completed the last Q&A with the protagonist of this press conference, the "Celebration Ceremony" held by the South Korean Chess Academy for the first person in the world to win the 15th personal championship in the Miaojia Bailing Cup was officially over.
Liu Shixian watched all the media leave very politely, and then he breathed a relaxed tone. Then the iconic gentle smile on his face slowly faded, giving people a subtle feeling that was different from the past.
But when he said goodbye to the staff one by one and was about to leave the auditorium to continue his preparation and training, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at the side door.
"...Sister Youen?!
"Are you... waiting for me? "The young master of the Liu family was obviously a little surprised by the other party's appearance.
Since being completely crushed by Chinese celebrity Zhaojun at the Lakeside Cup in May, the Ice Queen has become more diligent in training and preparation. According to the truth, you should not come to a boring occasion like "celebration meeting".
Kim Youen nodded when he heard this, and then showed a rare smile:
"Congratulations, Xiao Liu! It's only one step away from the best in history!
"That's it Looking at it like this... it's really a pity to be in the final of the Tongge Cup.
"Otherwise, it would be a unique five consecutive World Championships! What would the chess academy do to promote it!"
"Ah... I can't say that!"
Hearing this, Liu Shixian, He pursed his lips, then showed a small bitter smile, and said truthfully: "If I had won the Tongge Cup by chance at that time, then the last Miao Bailing Cup this time...
"It should be Lei Qi. ”
Kim Woo-eun was a little surprised: "What... what to say?"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one book, one book, one bar, one reading!
Liu Shixian said slowly: "Sister Youen, you have seen it too.
"In this final... Lei Qi's performance can be said to be completely different from that. Lose me! In the first two games, we both won the game where we each took the lead.
"In the third game, I was lucky enough to guess the white chess again. But even so, Lei Qi performed extremely well and even reversed the situation for a while! "The final situation can be said to be It's very subtle, I've won a little bit of experience advantage!
"If there are any more other factors to affect, I will probably explain this final..."
"But as a chess player, the small advantage brought by guessing first is originally Part of the game.”
Kim Woo-eun comforted:
"If you feel that winning is not good because you are under the Chinese rules, you will be too strict with yourself!"
"Ah... I didn't say I guessed this piece of white chess piece Things."
Liu Shixian shook his head:
"I mean: If it weren't for the lesson that Tongge Cup failed to teach me, then it would probably be this time the Miao Bailing Cup I would be forced to It's going to be in chaos."
Kim Youen narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and understood what the other party meant.
From the end of the final of the Tongge Cup, the mentality of the first person in the world obviously fluctuated, so that the game that could have been completely defeated quickly - this was very, very rare in the past. It can even be said that there is no at all!
She knew very early that although her junior looked polite, she was actually a very free and easy person and had a very good mentality!
Rui Zhao, who was still a celebrity in the Nongxin Cup, even though he was hit by a flying knife and the opponent performed well, he still made a desperate move back and showed a complete magnitude heart. But the final victory of the Tongge Cup collapsed quickly without being able to beat. It seemed that there was indeed some problem with the mentality.
Earing Liu Shixian's words, he seemed to have learned his lesson after the Tongge Cup was defeated.
If the Tongge Cup is successfully won, then this Miaojia Bailing Cup final will probably be another ending...
Kim Youen pondered for a while, then asked tentatively: "...Is it because he has reached the point where he is going to compete for the best in history, so he has a lot of concerns?"
"It's not that it's for the sake of The so-called 'best history'..."
Liu Shixian shrugged and smiled slightly, saying:
"Just...
"Looking at everyone in the chess academy working hard for the future, it's always touching!"
Hearing this, Kim You-eun, who came here to communicate with Liu Shixian about the matters related to the upcoming China-Beijing Asian Games, Zi hesitated whether to talk about the topic he originally wanted to talk about.
However, seeing this, Liu Shixian turned around and comforted Kim Youen: "Ah, Sister Youen, don't worry! In this regard, mentality... is my strength! It's already done! "Didn't the result of this game tell me everything? ”
"...Indeed."
Kim Woo-eun thought about it and breathed a little relieved.
Indeed, at the end of the Miao Bailing Cup decisive game, the situation was very complicated, and both sides were walking tightropes. At that time, the entire South Korean Chess Academy also saw his heart in his throat, fearing that the Tongge Cup plot would be repeated .
However, this time, Liu Shixian had the last laugh, and this was the "celebration meeting" today.
Unfortunately, Liu Shixian hasn't finished speaking...
"... But Sister Youen, to be honest, I may not be able to hold on for too long!
"The next LIG Cup may be fine if I face Rui Zhao and Sun Yi, but if I face it again Lei Qi...
"I'm afraid I'm only five points at most...
"After all, I'm still a little bit short of talent! ”
”…You are already great Xiao Liu! ”
It is never the style of the Ice Queen, and at this time, Kim Woo-eun really felt that there is no need for his junior to be too pessimistic: "And... the fast chess and the extra seconds system must be You have the advantage!
"As long as you can win the Asian Games and the strongest chess game, your career can be said to be very successful! "
But who knew that after hearing this, Liu Shixian sighed lightly and said: "Maybe... this is true for Lei Qi!
"But you know very well that Hua Xia...
"There is more than one Lei Qi! ”(The end of this chapter)
