Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 8: You're sweating, aren't you? Teacher
Before the first student rang the doorbell, Xiao Hao finished the second match with Li Yan.

The result was not surprising, Xiao Hao won with white pieces, and even without the post, he won by nine pieces and eighteen points. This number is almost a huge gap for professional players, but it is normal for amateurs, and it is enough to represent a big gap between the two sides.

However, Xiao Hao's temples were covered with cold sweat in the scorching hot summer. He looked at Li Yan, who was dejectedly packing up the chessboard, and couldn't even utter a word of comfort.

More than an hour ago, this was a novice who only knew how to take a position and was completely defeated by him with three points, but now, he can actually fight with him! What's more terrifying is that Li Yan can actually use all the fixed patterns, killing and resurrecting skills and even layout ideas that he learned in just one hour. It's not difficult to memorize some fixed patterns in an hour, and it's not difficult to memorize the routines of killing and resurrecting problems, but using them in actual combat is a completely different level.

This kid used it! Xiao Hao asked himself that he could win this game purely because he had mastered more set patterns and killing skills, and Li Yan had almost no ability to control the layout. If Li Yan had studied harder and played a few more games, wouldn't it be...

Moreover, this kid actually played fast chess, which made Xiao Hao very angry. Now looking at Li Yan who looked like "I actually lost", he was even more furious:

"Li Yan, playing fast chess is not a good habit. Go requires a calm mind and consideration of the opponent's future moves. Time is tight today. The afternoon class is very basic, so you don't have to listen. Come early tomorrow and we'll play a good game."

Li Yan, holding two Go instruction books in his hands, walked slowly on the way home. The sun ten years ago seemed to be less scorching. Even without the shade, he could still stroll in the sun with dignity.

"For Go, I learned a lot of new knowledge in a short period of time. It's great to get a breakthrough score! Unfortunately, even though I got 32 points, I still have a clear gap with an ordinary Go training teacher in a small town. From this point of view, 30 points is not a high score at all. Then my scores in other aspects...are they still very poor..."

Home was not far away. When he finally felt his skin burning, he had just walked into the sunlight-less corridor.

Ding!
Li Yan was shocked, he couldn't imagine what kind of improvement this would be.

[Sunscreen +1, total 28]

He was too lazy to complain. When he got home, he suddenly felt his brain was very tired. He didn't want to move after sitting in the chair and was too lazy to even watch TV.

"I don't have enough energy..."

Huh? Li Yan sat up in shock, his eyes wide open like bells!
"If my energy score is relatively low, but my score in a certain energy-consuming activity, such as Go, is very high, will I be unable to perform well due to lack of energy? Or will my Go-related energy not be improved, and my Go skills will stagnate at a certain level, and I will not improve no matter how much I study?"

His breathing became rapid, and he walked around the living room in a hurry. "At present, we can boldly guess that the difference in skill levels comes from the size of the concept. High-level skills themselves may include many low-level skills. The speed of improving low-level skills is relatively fast. The overall improvement of multiple skills can directly improve the big skills. So, there should be a certain chain reaction between skills? And I always feel that these skills... themselves have a certain overlap. Muscle endurance and physical strength should be closely related."

At this time, Li Yan was very glad that he had a hobby of reading various encyclopedias, otherwise he would not even understand the terms, and improvement would be a daydream.

"Just like cardiopulmonary function, it also deeply affects physical strength. And how should physical strength be defined?" He fell into thought, "Physical strength, energy, brain power, endurance..."

"Does mental strength count as physical strength? Does physical strength include endurance? Or can these concepts appear together, and improving one will also affect the others?"

When in doubt, don’t just sit back and do things. Li Yan decisively opened the dictionary: “The amount of force that human muscles can exert when they move.”

This made it very clear. He just nodded with satisfaction and immediately realized the problem:
"Then physical strength should include indicators such as muscle endurance and explosive power. How can it be the lowest level skill?"

Ding!
[The concept of physical strength has been updated and upgraded to the third level, with a total of 10]

[Muscle endurance has been updated, total 20]

What a wonderful feeling! In just a moment, it was as if the body was fully charged. Li Yan's slightly sore feet from just walking back were also relieved. The whole body was full of energy, and she inexplicably wanted to run a few laps.

"It will radiate!" The improvement effect of high-level skills is all-round. Li Yan was so excited that he couldn't stop analyzing in his mind. He quickly opened his notebook:

The lowest level is level 4, and two points in level 4 are equal to one point in level 3.

High-level radiation effects will simultaneously increase the radiated skill values.

"However, there should be many radiation skills related to physical strength... Just like the system only records the skills that have been improved, these items are still hidden and I have to activate them. Maybe the moment of activation, it will be instantly improved due to radiation?" "No... Physical strength increases very quickly at the fourth level. If I improve it severely and then upgrade it, won't it explode instantly? It's a big loss!"

"But..." Li Yan sat calmly at the desk, "This kind of concept update is not a manual operation. It must be based on my own erroneous cognition. This system requires one step at a time. Don't expect to achieve success overnight. Just work hard."

If Xiao Hao knew that he described his one-hour Go learning in the afternoon as taking one step at a time, he would probably rush over and give him a stick on the spot.

Every time his understanding of the system improves, Li Yan becomes very excited, and the fatigue in his brain is swept away.

Ding!
[Energy +1, total 33]

"It feels so good, hahahaha!" Li Yan screamed like a ghost and immediately slapped himself, "Don't be too proud of yourself." Then he smiled and opened the Go teaching book.

Fortunately, Chen Fengling was still buying vegetables at the market. If she had seen this, Li Yan would have been very happy to have received psychological counseling. However, when she found that her son did not watch TV after dinner but hid in his room to learn mental arithmetic, she did have the idea of ​​taking him for psychological counseling.

"Dad, look, don't keep saying that it's a good thing that he has awakened and likes to study. He finished his summer homework one day, went to a training class in the afternoon, and came back to learn mental arithmetic. I'm really worried that he has a mental problem."

Li Chun smiled and waved his hands. "If he doesn't learn, you blame him. If he learns, you blame him. The child is smarter than both of us. He is already in fifth grade and will soon be in sixth grade. As long as he doesn't go astray, let him do what he wants."

But after just one look, his face didn't look good either. Li Yan was dancing and gesticulating in front of the math test paper in the room, and then he closed his eyes and counted on his fingers, mumbling something in a mysterious way.

"Look, what should we do?" Chen Fengling was a little anxious and pulled Li Chun to sit down at the dining table.

Li Chun saw his son writing excitedly with his eyes shining through the crack of the door, so he smiled and said:

"I believe this is a sign of genius awakening."

The next day, the "awakened genius child" Li Yan arrived at Xiao Hao's chess room on time after lunch.

"You are quite confident, Li Yan." Xiao Hao had just set up the chessboard. "Tell me, do you want to teach first or play a game directly today?"

Li Yan sat opposite him calmly and put the three books in his hand aside.

"Why is there an extra mental arithmetic exercise book?" Xiao Hao was confused.

"Teacher, I spent a long time reading a Go book last night and memorized a lot of content. In the end, I had this realization: Go is essentially a competition of calculation ability. With every move, we calculate the possibility of the opponent's next few moves and respond accordingly. So Go is ever-changing, but! If I can calculate one more move or even several moves than you, the entire board will be under my control."

"That's right," Xiao Hao took off his glasses and wiped them. "To put it in an extreme way, Go is a game of calculation. This understanding has a sense of returning to the essence. It's okay to praise someone for understanding the essence."

Seeing Li Yan's smug look, Xiao Hao chuckled inwardly. Kids are just kids after all. It's good that they understand this, but it's not easy to have one more calculation ability than others. It sounds like I'm saying that if I'm one second faster than you every 100 meters, you will never catch up with me - it's just said easily.

"The reason why the teacher was able to suppress me in layout and control yesterday was mainly because his calculation ability was better than mine. I played fast chess to shorten your thinking time, but it still couldn't offset my disadvantage."

Is this the feeling of oppression of a fifth-grade student? Xiao Hao still had his glasses in his hand. The image of Li Yan in front of him was a little blurry, and she had actually turned into someone of the same age as him. He quickly blinked away his fantasy, put on his glasses and smiled:

"Is this why you learned mental arithmetic last night? Was it useful?"

"Let's play slowly."

He was clearly a child, smiling harmlessly, and had just started playing Go! Xiao Hao's breathing became a little rapid, and for a moment he subconsciously wanted to play the black piece. When he realized what was happening, his back felt hot and a thin layer of sweat formed. There was only one thought left in his mind:
"Damn, it would be ugly if we lose..."
