Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 9 The Loser's Winner

Unlike before, Xiao Hao, who felt the pressure of "losing the game", went all out right from the start, and after occupying two star positions, he began to attack Li Yan's lonely black piece in the corner. Li Yan was not impatient, and in turn selected the white piece three-three, and the two sides fought fiercely at the beginning.

After more than a dozen moves, Xiao Hao's expression became more serious. He found that Li Yan used the Xiaofei corner defense pattern when facing his attack, allowing him to dig out half of the corner in exchange for partial suppression of him. Then he turned around and decisively gained external power in his own field. It seemed that he dug out half of his corner in the competition between the two corners and defended the real space on the corner, but in fact, the two small forces were cut off, and Li Yan's black pieces gradually connected and became a momentum.

It seems like a 50-50 chance, but in fact, the initiative has been lost! Xiao Hao was a little nervous, and couldn't help but look at Li Yan, who was calm and composed on the opposite side. If this layout was intentional, the boy's progress would be too fast to describe.

He would rather believe that Li Yan played him at the beginning and wanted to play the pig and eat the tiger.

As the battle progressed, the chess pieces on the board became denser and denser, and Xiao Hao's thinking time for each move became longer and longer. His breathing even became heavier, staring at the chessboard without saying a word. Li Yan knew how to set patterns, kill people, and lay out the game, but why did his computing power seem to be better than his?
After all, I, Xiao Hao, am a college graduate from a key university, a serious mathematics teacher at Lincheng No. 2 Middle School. I have been studying chess manuals since I was a child, but in the end, I was taught a lesson by a fifth-grade kid?

This game of chess was more complicated than expected. I don't know if it was intentional or because of the aura of a novice, but Li Yandong's haphazard moves messed up Xiao Hao's thinking. The situation was chaotic, the intensity of calculations increased sharply, and the game was extremely tiring.

It was not until Xiao Hao held the chess piece for a long time and couldn't find a meaningful position to play that he realized that the game was over. He was a little dazed, looking at Li Yan who had stopped playing, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was the challenger today.

"Teacher, I lost."

"I haven't counted them yet. It's hard to tell."

"You, with white, have 182 and 3/4 pieces in total, so you win."

Xiao Hao's pupils trembled. He stood up hastily to calculate the points, but sat down dejectedly. "What are you doing, Li Yan? If you have the time to calculate in advance, why don't you just win this game?"

"You're nervous. The last few moves don't really make sense. I was calculating the results the whole time." Li Yan stretched. "With such a short time to accumulate experience, I'm still not good enough. The teacher used a lot of new moves I haven't seen before. I'm still a little behind the teacher in terms of calculation power. I used the method of firing cannons everywhere to make you exhausted. I didn't expect that you still couldn't win."

Xiao Hao laughed at himself, "Li Yan, the teacher asked you a question seriously, and you also answered the teacher seriously."

“I give it my all every time.”

"Hey, you kid," Xiao Hao said with a relieved smile on his face, "I won't charge you for today's lesson. I don't have much to teach you. Here are two advanced chess manuals for you. If you are interested, learn from them. You are welcome to come and play chess with me anytime during the holidays."

Li Yan stood up and thanked him. Xiao Hao wanted to reach out and touch his head, but suddenly stopped in mid-air and said:
“The teacher has seen many geniuses, but you are the most outstanding one among them. You must study hard and don’t waste this talent.

"Geniuses are always precocious, but Li Yan, you are only a fifth-grade student. You don't need to take on so much responsibility. Don't enter the adult world too early. Have fun playing and studying happily. Children have a lot of spiritual energy that will be lost when they grow up. The teacher is still young, so that's all I have to say. Go home and be safe."

Xiao Hao thought Li Yan would be impatient with this kind of advice, and he began to laugh at himself in his heart, but he saw Li Yan's eyes shining and he actually bowed solemnly.

Watching the child leave, Xiao Hao felt a little lost for a moment. When he was young, he thought he was the best. It was not until he returned to the small town to be a teacher that he gradually accepted the weight of reality. Li Yan's figure walking away may also reflect Xiao Hao's regrets in his youth.

Li Yan on the other hand was having a headache about how to explain the forty yuan that he had spent and then got back. After much thought, he decided to quietly put it into his secret notebook - it was won openly, so he should take it. Besides, the start-up capital was so precious, and before he had any means to make money, forty yuan was a huge investment.

【围棋+12，总数45；记忆力+1，总数41；计算力+2，总数35；精力+2，总数34；防晒+1，总数28】

"A Go score of 45, my friend." Li Yan muttered to herself while lying on the bed. "Teacher Xiao can open a training class, so his level should be pretty good. It's not impossible for me to win today, but I'm a bit hindered by my calculation ability. If I want to stand out from the crowd with my level 40 skills, it looks like I need at least points. So it seems that my memory is really good."

After a few seconds of silence, he leaped up, making the old wooden bed make a painful friction sound.

"Time is money. I have to make good use of the remaining days of summer vacation to let Yucai Primary School welcome a brand new me!"

So Li Chun and Chen Fengling watched their son, who didn't like sports except playing ball, try to do push-ups, and then turned around and started watching "Dream of Red Mansions". He was as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. They didn't know how to describe it, and could only watch the TV series silently.

"Go is just an experiment," Li Yan closed the book and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. "In my previous life, I was criticized for being a jack of all trades but not a master of any one of them. God gave me a chance to start over. I can't be the same again. My energy is limited. I might as well focus on a few areas and improve them. When I excel and the basic skills related to them are improved, I can see how to develop further."

After rinsing her mouth, Li Yan stood in the narrow bathroom, looking at herself with a tender face and a body that had not yet grown up, a little absent-minded, "Without the information gap, if you want to realize your dream life, you still have to start from learning. Only when the platform is big can you become famous. Only when you become a genius can you have the opportunity to access things that you could not access in your previous life. Study hard!"

He walked back to his room full of ambition, and before his mother had time to give the order "Go to bed at 9:30", he had decisively turned off the lights and went to bed.

"It is wrong to expect to become a big winner overnight. The most urgent task is to dampen the enthusiasm of the 'Go masters' first."

He did not forget the purpose of learning Go. Until he woke up the next day, he was still immersed in the pleasure of dreaming about repeatedly slapping others in the face.

After a quick breakfast, Li Yan took the key and went downstairs. Half an hour ago, Zhang Ming called Li Yan for the second time, urging her to participate in the "Go Championship".

At 8:30 in the morning, he was so impatient that he even used the provocation "Are you afraid?" It seemed that Zhang Ming really wanted to get back at him with the help of the first-year junior high school master. Li Yan skipped along the way to Zhang Ming's house, counting the various shops one by one. This supermarket had his favorite snacks, and that bun shop had the best buns in the world. He found that not only people, but also the things he touched would awaken his memories of his previous life to a certain extent - creating a subtle connection.

However, there are almost only his emotional feelings, and there is a blank as far as the relevant information about the historical background is concerned.

"To be honest, this time travel secrecy system deserves praise."

Zhang Ming's home is not far away. The urban area of ​​Lincheng is a very small place. Most of the students who went to elementary school together lived in the same community. Compared with Li Yan's home, Zhang Ming lived in a more central location, with a bigger and more beautiful house. In other words, his family was richer. This monitor developed early, liked sports, had wheat-colored skin, was tall and had long arms, and looked sunny. He was good at organizing class activities. His parents were also willing to spend money to buy small items for the class. He was the second most popular person in the class.

There is no way. When you are a student, learning is king. Nothing can compare to the halo of always being the top student in the grade. The teacher's favoritism is obvious to the naked eye. Li Yan is the number one figure in the class.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Li Yan is also pretty and is the deputy monitor. It is impossible for the two children to have a good relationship. While thinking, Li Yan knocked on Zhang Ming's door. There was a sound of discussion inside. Zhang Ming opened the door enthusiastically and welcomed Li Yan into the house with a weird smile on his face.

The chessboard has been set up, and a tall and thin student wearing glasses is sitting next to it, stroking the white piece in his hand with a focused expression.

Standing with Zhang Ming were the short and prickly He Han and the big and stupid Wang Chao. Both of them were well-known problem students in the class, but they got along very well with Zhang Ming.

"Li Yan, last time I told Brother Bo about your glorious deeds in the Go class, and he said he wanted to compete with you. So I made some arrangements. Brother Bo is a top student at Lincheng No. 2 Middle School, and his brother is a teacher at a regular Go training class, a math teacher at Lincheng No. 2 Middle School, and a top university student! You have to bring honor to our school."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he exchanged glances with the two "bad kids", one tall and one short, and put on an attitude of "we're rooting for you", but their faces actually showed a look of mockery.

It turns out that children are so bad at hiding their emotions?
Li Yan sat down leisurely, and a slender hand with distinct joints stretched out in front of her:

"Hello, Li Yan. My name is Xiao Bo."

This name, this look, this temperament... Your brother is a teacher at a Go training class and a math teacher at Lincheng No. 2 Middle School? Li Yan almost laughed out loud. Your brother is probably still doubting his life now. I didn't expect that his younger brother would also come to you.

"Hello, Brother Xiaobo, please give me your guidance."

After just ten moves, Xiao Bo fell silent, biting his fingers. Zhang Ming and the other two, who didn't understand Go, frowned.

After more than a dozen moves, Xiao Bo's breathing began to quicken, his blinking frequency increased dramatically, and he even unconsciously wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead. He now had to think for a long time before making each move, which made Zhang Ming and the other two impatient. As a result, after finally making a move, Li Yan made a move without hesitation.

"Snapped!"

It was a blow to Xiao Bo's heart.

He hesitated for a long time, and Li Yan responded in an instant; he hesitated, and Li Yan responded in an instant; he thought it over again and again, and Li Yan still responded in an instant.

"Li Yan, don't just play casually because you think you can't win. Learn from the masters. Look at how serious Brother Bo is, as he takes a long time to make a move."

Xiao Bo ignored Zhang Ming's flattery. Looking at the situation that had been completely suppressed, he was undecided and shook his head before making his move.

Li Yan suddenly leaned forward, held the black piece and pointed at a certain position, which scared Xiao Bo so much that he broke out in a cold sweat - that was his fatal mistake. He didn't even realize that with this move by Li Yan, the outcome was decided.

As a result, the black piece landed in another unimportant place. Xiao Bo looked at his opponent in surprise, but saw Li Yan nonchalantly indicating to continue.

From this moment on, the outcome was already decided, and Xiao Bo's game was boring. When your opponent repeatedly points out your fatal mistakes and deliberately does not pursue them, the game becomes a game of cat and mouse.

Zhang Ming and the other two were surprised that Li Yan could play on par with Xiao Bo, and at the same time they were nervous that Xiao Bo might fail. It was so stressful watching them.

Xiao Bo finished his last move dejectedly, and Li Yan announced on the spot:

"You still can't beat Brother Xiaobo. You played with white pieces for a total of 182 and 3/4 pieces. You won."

Zhang Ming showed a relieved expression, and came over to pat Li Yan on the shoulder with a smile, "Not bad, Yan, you can fight to this extent with Brother Bo, which is not a disgrace to our class 1. When we return to school, I will tell my classmates about your heroic deeds."

Li Yan waved her hands, "Alright, alright, there's nothing to brag about after losing. It's time to go home and eat."

The happy Zhang Ming did not try to persuade Li Yan to stay. He simply sent Li Yan away, cheered and high-fived He Han and Wang Chao, and leaned on Xiao Bo, "Brother Bo is awesome, he has dampened this kid's spirit!"

Xiao Bo remained silent and motionless, a strange aura spread out, and Zhang Ming also realized that something was wrong.

"Brother Bo, are you tired? Yes, this Li Yan is still quite capable, but Brother Bo probably underestimated the enemy. Thank you for your hard work."

"You said he only knows the basics?" Xiao Bo's voice was filled with unpredictable anger.

"Uh... maybe he found someone to teach him temporarily?"

"You guys are still smiling and laughing. You can't even understand the most basic situation. I don't expect you to understand how powerful he is."

Zhang Ming was stunned, He Han was petrified, and Wang Chao was still scratching his head in a daze.

"He is much better than me. Never mind. You won't understand even if I tell you. He gave you face, but you are so proud of yourself. Don't drag me into this next time you make a fool of yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Bo left with a sigh, leaving Zhang Ming, who was at a loss, staring at the chessboard in a daze.

When Xiao Hao heard that Xiao Bo was fooled by a primary school student named Li Yan while playing chess that night, his expression was very interesting. He quickly asked a question that he would regret:
"What was the final result?"

"I won with white, a total of 182 and 3/4 pieces."

From then on, the question of whether he really won that day or was precisely tricked by Li Yan would become Xiao Hao's nightmare at the Go table.

The instigator, Comrade Li Yan, completed the first push-up in his life at home.

"In my previous life, I refused to exercise. If I don't let the system give me a beautiful body like a human specimen this time, I won't be named Li!"
