Chapter 259: Another way of saying it
At seven o'clock in the evening on September 16th, Xidu City.
In a small room at the Yanhui Shengtang International Hotel, the generals of the Xidu team who had just finished the fourth round of the Siege League were sitting together, all feeling somewhat depressed.
As for the reason, it couldn’t be more obvious.
In this round of the game against Dajing, Xidu lost at home.
Although the leader of the team, Zhu Yuanjun, easily defeated Liang Sizhen in the 7th dan on the main stage, in the other three competitions, Peng Wendong on the 8th dan lost to South Korean foreign aid Li Tingyan of the Dajing team on the 9th dan, and Xue Zhenju on the 3rd dan lost to the 8th dan. Cai Shuangjiuduan.
Finally, in the four-table fast chess match that the Xidu team had high hopes for, the "Smiling Tiger" Bian Lele was repeatedly dragged into chaos by Lei Qi despite the early advantage, and made a mistake in the last step. Having suffered huge losses, I have no choice but to admit defeat.
The Xidu team also lost to the Dajing team with a total score of 1 to 3, giving their opponent their first win of the season.
"...Hey, everyone, don't act so solemn!"
Zhu Yuanjun, a 25-year-old nine-dan chess player nicknamed "Yuanzhu", put on a charming smile. Try to liven up the team atmosphere.
The reason why he is nicknamed "Round Pig" is firstly because of the homophony of his name, secondly because his figure was quite thick and thick when he entered Duan (now he has lost weight), and thirdly because his chess style is smooth and restrained, and the overall atmosphere likes to be controlled. Calm, just like his temper.
However, although Zhu Yuanjun has a good temper, he really doesn't like the nickname "Round Pig", so the circle basically just screams at him behind his back...
Uh, However, a certain monkey often said something bad during interviews, and then was questioned by Zhu Yuanjun for a while, saying what he said again.
“Well, Xiaozhu, this one is mine!”
As the eldest brother of the team, Bian Lele still looks relaxed.
It's not that he doesn't take it seriously, but that the thirty-year-old Smiling Tiger always smiles habitually.
If you make him bitter and resentful, it won’t happen anymore.
“The original pre-game strategy was to protect your leader’s table and my fast chess table, so I was put on the fourth table to hold white. If my table loses, I will always be the first to take the blame.”
“Well, Brother Lele, you’re making it difficult for me to do this by looking at the pot!”
Zhu Yuanjun smiled kindly and said:
"Everyone tried their best and played well!
"However, our strategy of protecting the second and fourth stations was still too obvious, and it was directly read out by the Dajing team.
“When I just saw the announcement of the matchup, the corners of Xiaolei’s mouth raised slightly, obviously he had guessed it in advance.
“I’m a arrogant person and someone tricked me, so of course it’s mine. "
"Hey, strategically abandoning the main commander's platform is not what they want! ”
The 27-year-old Xue Zhenju on the side sighed.
“The captain’s platform is said to be one point, but under the rule of ‘the leader wins evenly’, it is equivalent to two points!”
“I can understand it!”
< br>Zhu Yuanjun sighed slightly:
“After all, Lao Li is old, Lao Cai’s upper limit is not high, and Xiao Lei’s recent state has been poor. The latest level score released a few days ago has slipped to seventh. Yes, it is indeed more appropriate to avoid me on the main stage
"Hey, by the way, Brother Lele! How was Xiaolei's performance today? Has his condition recovered?"
"Huh?"
Bian Lele was stunned, and then Looking back.
“If you want to ask me, I don’t think so yet...
“In fact, I have always been a little bit better in today’s game of chess, but in the end this kid got really upset. They are all trying their best. At the last countdown, I got dizzy for a moment, and then I lost.
"But what you want to say... I feel that this boy seems to have a particularly strong desire to win today. I don't think that in some chess games in the past few days, his losses were a mercy killing, and he didn't even struggle much."
Zhu Yuan Jun nodded: "That's right... I'll look back at his game."
Bian Lele asked curiously: "Well, do you think something is wrong?"
Zhu Yuanjun smiled:
“That’s right!
"I always feel that... people who dare to play such bold tactics shouldn't be in a bad state of mind now, right? So I want to ask about his performance in the game."
But at this time, the 21-year-old Peng asked Dong opened his mouth and asked:
"Ah? Is it Lei Qi who is ranked in the Dajing team? Isn't he the youngest in their team?"
"You don't know?! From last year It’s been like this since the second half of the season!”
Bian Lele was a little surprised when he heard this:
"Hey Dongzi, don't mess around! You don't even know the details of your opponent in the next siege?
"Uh..." Peng Wendong suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
< br>"Okay Brother Lele, Wendong doesn't care about scheduling, so there is no need to understand! "
Zhu Yuanjun came out to smooth things over, and then took the opportunity to discuss science with Peng Wendong:
"Wendong, you have to know that Chairman Shang really regards Xiao Lei as his future. Leaders come to train - not just in chess, but in all aspects.
"It used to be that Cai Shuang was responsible for communicating with the coach about the Dajing team. Last year, Chairman Shang saw that the time was right, so he asked Cai Shuang to take the initiative to push Lei Qi to the front.
"Of course, this little guy Xiao Lei He also strives for success. He has always given people a young and mature feeling. Since he came to the lineup, he has defeated two people last year and successfully lifted the Dajing team to the top half. "This year, his condition has been obviously not good since the start of the game. It feels like it has no effect, which makes us a little too confident..."
"Hey, it really is a hero who is sad for a beauty. ! "
The smiling tiger, who always loves to have fun, raised his eyebrows and said: "
"I guess Chairman Shang also regrets it.
"I originally thought that it would be easy to find a beautiful star contestant who could attract people, but it turned out that I didn't attract many people. Instead, I made the student I valued most distracted and in a bad state. No more. "
Zhu Yuanjun hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Hey, brother Lele, it's better not to mention this matter. Vice Chairman Lu will send a message after the first round of the fast chess match that day. Come down and stop spreading rumors! ”
“Yes——Yes——”
Bian Lele said in a long tone.
“But...there are so many benefits to being beautiful!
“As a new junior dan, I can actually go directly to the ring competition! Is this a record? "
"Well...there is a precedent.
“In the past 2005, before the selection rules for the ring competition were improved, there was a situation like this once in the women’s ring competition—it stands to reason that you should know better than me!”
Zhu Yuanjun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Ah...I'm a little impressed by what you said!"
The Smiling Tiger thought for a moment and nodded:
"Then...this is the second time There are new first-level players who will be directly selected for the group competition that year!”
“New first-level players…”
Zhu Yuanjun pursed his lips and considered.
"That's what it means...
"However, the specific statement...may have to be changed. ”
…
…
"That...I gave up."
September 18, Zhenze City, Suhu Province, Meda Plaza Hotel.
The first round of the 2023 Changqi Cup qualifiers will be held here.
In a high-profile match, Rui Zhao defeated the 21-year-old Yu Bingsha in the middle game and entered the next round of qualifying.
“Thank you for your advice.”
Rui Zhao simply returned the gift and said:
"Do you want a review?"
"Ah! No, the strength level is too different."
Sitting opposite The junior student smiled and shook his head, then said:
"Well... congratulations to you too! Rui Zhao 2nd Dan!
"I saw on the Yiguo News yesterday that if you win today's set, you will be the fastest in history!
"Congratulations, you have set a new record. "
"Ah, thank you! "
The girl who already knew the situation from Ai Jian'an two days ago expressed her gratitude simply and gracefully.
But... is it going to be the second paragraph so soon...
Rui Zhao thought silently in his heart.
Didn’t Grandma Wu say before that the upgrade of the second station will be slower?
But I don’t feel anything at all...
The girl has a little sense of reality about this "record" that she had never cared about before.
Alas, what I originally planned to write in one chapter has become two chapters...
【Stack a Armor】
In reality, the fastest time to level up to Level 2 should be 60 days, which is shorter than Xiao Zhao in the novel. But that was in the less competitive national individual competition. In the novel, I think this competition is relatively useless, and this setting was not made at all. So just treat this record as a novel setting, don’t compare it to reality.
