Interstellar Miner

Chapter 349 The Light of Hope
Mo Xuan, who was in deep thought, was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

Um?Mo Xuan looked back and saw Kong Ling, Mo Que'er, Xiao Yun, Shang Mengyu, Zhang Hailu all standing behind him.

Hey?

Xiaoyun rolled his eyes at Mo Xuan, and said, "You guys are fascinated by playing chess here. No wonder we sent so many messages, but you didn't reply to any of them."

Uh... Mo Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment, glanced at the communication jade plate, wow, hundreds of messages!I really didn't notice it at all!
Mo Xuan apologized a few times, but still couldn't help turning his head to look at the chessboard, and said, "I want to solve this mess, you go and play first."

Seeing Mo Xuan like this, all the girls couldn't help shaking their heads secretly, wondering what's so fun about Go, isn't it just an advanced version of backgammon.

The three male Xuanxians in the camp often played Go, and they came up to take a look curiously. Oh boy, it's such an advanced endgame, white pieces are at a disadvantage, it's not easy to beat black pieces, how should they play.

Seeing that the four men were all fascinated, the women were even more speechless. Forget it, let's go back and continue shopping.

Xiaoyun had been shopping a lot, and decided to go back and ponder over Bao Qingyun's puppet body. Other things are fine, but the taste system is a big problem.There are indeed puppets that can eat food, but there are really no puppets that can taste the taste of food!There are challenges, my sister likes it.

Xiaoyun took Bao Qingyun back to the Ruyi Inn first.

The enthusiasm of other people to go shopping is still high, and they continue to press the road.

The three male Xuanxians took turns to challenge the endgame, but they were completely killed by He Jiaguang, and they went to the nearby booth to find someone to catch and learn from each other.

Hey, what's the matter?How come the level is so high, it can't be lower!

As soon as the three male Xuanxians inquired about it, they immediately fainted. It turned out that they were all college students. No wonder the calculation ability of our Xuanxians was somewhat inferior.

It is rare to be able to learn chess skills with the students of the academy, and the three male Xuanxians can't help cheering up, and continue to work hard.

After the long exam, Mo Xuan seemed to have a clue.Mo Xuan then tried to start the fourth round with He Jiaguang.

It turned out to be a brand new way of playing. He Jiaguang was shocked by a dragon in his heart, and tried his best. In the end, Heizi only narrowly won by one eye.Be good, Senior Hua An is really amazing!He Jiaguang had no doubts that he would be beaten to pieces if he and Hua An's seniors played successively.

Still a little bit short, Mo Xuan continued the long test, how should he take the winning move?Playing chess is actually constantly testing the opponent's reality, making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses, focusing on attacking against the opponent's weaknesses, focusing on defense against the opponent's strengths, and then winning by surprise!

Ordinary moves are definitely not enough. Heizi has already thoroughly studied the endgame and can easily parry it. However, if there is not enough groundwork to confuse the opponent, a strange move may not necessarily produce a miraculous effect, but will become a stupid move.

No matter what, you still have to try more.Mo Xuan started to play the fifth round with He Jiaguang.

Just as they were playing, there was a sudden panic in the area of ​​the Chess Academy, but the next round-robin match of the students was about to start.

The opponents of the three male immortals from the academy temporarily resigned. The three male immortals looked at each other with wry smiles, as expected of the academy students, amazing!The three male Xuanxians take advantage of this big gap to take a long test, and maybe they can move back to the disadvantaged.

"Ah Guang, let's go quickly." Seeing that He Jiaguang was still playing chess, Mrs. Qiu, an old qualifications student, went over and patted He Jiaguang on the shoulder.

He Jiaguang also remembered now, yes, there is a round robin!He Jiaguang said apologetically to Mo Xuan: "Senior Hua, I still have a round-robin match to go to the next round, and I'll come over as soon as the match is over."

Mo Xuan nodded slightly, and said: "Go." After finishing speaking, Mo Xuan continued the long test facing the endgame.

He Jiaguang rushed towards the Chess Academy with Mrs. Qiu.

This round of round-robin competition for college students has entered the final stage, and their own class has basically finished the competition, and the next step is to draw lots for the mix-and-match class competition.

Mrs. Qiu is a real veteran. She entered the Chess Academy 3000 years earlier than Zi Cheliang and He Jiaguang. After rushing to the first class, she has been hanging around in the first class. She has never fallen to the second class. Her strength is certain Yes, but they are always unlucky. Usually, their results in the round robin are always among the top, but when it comes to the crucial qualifying rounds, the final results are always outside the top ten, and they can't make it to the top ten no matter what.It's fine once or twice, but Mrs. Qiu has forced it dozens of times, and it's almost become a heart disease.But the more you want to be among the top ten, the more you can't get in. Mrs. Qiu couldn't help laughing at herself from time to time, she still only has the life of a college student.

This time, Mrs. Qiu easily achieved a good result in the round-robin competition, temporarily ranking third. The mix-and-match class competition was compared with the students in the following classes, and there was no pressure. No surprises, the final result should also be third.

Mrs. Qiu encouraged He Jiaguang as she was on her way: "Ah Guang, you have to play hard. You must have the strength. If you concentrate, you should be able to take down your opponent."

He Jiaguang nodded, I know, I've come to my senses now, and I won't rest on my laurels anymore.

Hey, Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but look at He Jiaguang a few more times, and felt that Ah Guang's spirit was obviously different. Could it be that his mess was solved after many years, so Ah Guang was happier?This is also good, if you feel better, you may be able to show your strength.

"Come on!" Mrs. Qiu patted He Jiaguang on the shoulder, I am optimistic about you.

He Jiaguang nodded fiercely, we must work harder!

Mrs. Qiu and He Jiaguang came to the game field of the college student division and lined up to draw lots together.

Mrs. Qiu randomly picked up a lottery, even if the opponent was from her first class, there was no pressure. When she opened it, it was from her eighth class.

Who did Ah Guang catch?Mrs. Qiu took a look, and couldn't help being stunned. Ah Guang must have been too unlucky to catch Mai Xia, the current rookie king, and is temporarily No. 2 in this round-robin competition!In recent years, Mrs. Qiu has lost more than she has won against Mai Xia. Mai Xia's fast chess is really good!
Moreover, this Mai Xia has only been admitted to the Chess Academy for 600 years. She has an excellent record and has skipped grades one after another. After entering the first class, she is also a rare opponent. She is the one who is currently the most popular in the student branch of the Chess Academy, and is favored by everyone. .Mai Xia is even more determined to surpass Zi Che Liang, she works very hard!
Qiu Tai smacked her lips, feeling really helpless, patted Ah Guang's shoulder sympathetically, shook her head and left.

He Jiaguang has been in a daze. In recent years, he has tried hard to keep his status as a resident, so he doesn't have the time to pay attention to the masters of the first class.However, he is also an opponent of class one, so he should not be underestimated!
He Jiaguang took a deep breath, tried to concentrate his attention, and made a foolish move with one distraction, or he would lose everything!
I want to win, and I must never lose again!He Jiaguang took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and walked to the game room.

That stuff is really slow, isn't He Jiaguang?Once Zi Che Liang's only opponent, Mai Xia curled her lips in disdain. If it wasn't for the former emperor Che Liang who suddenly came to the college student branch and caused a commotion, she really wouldn't have known that the guy at the bottom of the tenth class was actually Zi Che Liang's former opponent even won two rounds against Zi Cheliang!

Mai Xia made a special trip to check He Jiaguang's record in this round and the previous rounds, and also specially read He Jiaguang's chess records for a few games.stop being funny!See if I don't hit you all over the place!
Could it be that this guy is afraid and dare not come?Just as Mai Xia was thinking about it, He Jiaguang walked into the game room unhurriedly.Is this He Jiaguang?Mai Xia glanced at He Jiaguang, she was not annoying to look at.

He Jiaguang was taken aback, hey, the opponent turned out to be such a young and beautiful girl with a perfect oval face and big watery eyes.

He Jiaguang blinked, sat opposite Mai Xia, and bowed to Mai Xia, please.

The two came first and foremost, with He Jiaguang holding the black and going first, He Jiaguang had just settled down to the small corner.With a snap, Mai Xia followed suit.

He Jiaguang was startled, and continued to make moves calmly.

Papa, papa...Mai Xia is always in a hurry, full of coercion, as if to say, hurry up, why are you dawdling!
He Jiaguang actually wanted to make a quick decision, but he also knew that he was still in a bad state, so he must not be impatient, think carefully, and take his time.

Mai Xia glanced at He Jiaguang in amazement, this guy's chess strength seems to be okay, it is about to hit the middle game, and it is still evenly matched with her.

Look at my quick fight, Mai Xia curled her lips, and then launched a fierce and abnormal attack, watch me finish you three-legged cat in twos and twos!
clap clap clap...

Mai Xia raised her brows, this... her fierce offensive was completely blocked by He Jiaguang, and He Jiaguang also saw through several traps that she quietly set up!Unknowingly, my own white son fell to the disadvantage instead, not so good!
what happened?Mai Xia took another look at He Jiaguang, is he Zi Che Liang's former opponent?Mai Xia gritted her teeth, how could she lose to him so easily!Mai Xia is not only good at fast chess, she is also good at slow chess, but it feels too boring, so she likes to play faster!
Right now Bai Zi is at a disadvantage, Mai Xia decides to make good use of her remaining advantage and deal with Hei Zi well.

The Earth Go competition has a professional timer, and the Chess Academy also has a specially designed timer, which looks like two funnels connected together. It does not need to be operated by hand, but is operated by mind.

When one party is thinking, the sand in the funnel will slowly fall. After the sand falls, the sand will stop and the opponent's hourglass will start to operate.

Because Mai Xia has been playing fast chess all the time, Mai Xia's hourglass is almost full, more than three times that of He Jiaguang!

Mai Xia pondered and tried her best to find the chance for this white piece to win.Minutes and seconds passed by, and Mai Xia's round forehead was already covered with tiny beads of sweat.

In the chess game, the white pieces and the black pieces are stuck together, the battle is very tragic, and the white pieces are obviously still at a disadvantage!After all, Mai Xia was still unable to reverse the disadvantage.

Mai Xia looked at the timer, although there wasn't much sand in He Jiaguang's funnel, it was still enough.When he played slow chess by himself, He Jiaguang played it much faster!

Damn it, is he going to lose to such a guy who is at the bottom of Class Ten?Mai Xia's face changed for a while, so what can I do!If I lose this guy, what face will I have in the future!Wouldn't it be a big joke for him to aspire to surpass Zi Cheliang!
Mai Xia gritted her teeth, looked at the timer, and decided to use the drag formula to drag He Jiaguang to death.

However, He Jiaguang is obviously rich in experience, and his control of the time is just right, and he pushed the game to the final stage steadily.

In the final count, Heizi beat Baizi Sanmu.Mai Xia stared blankly at the chess game, tears welling up in her eyes unconsciously.

Won!He Jiaguang let out a long sigh of relief, the opponent is really not weak, and it's been a long time since he won a round so easily!
However, in this round, I still made a few poor moves due to lack of concentration. Fortunately, the opponent's chess skills were not as good as Senior Hua An's, so I still maintained my advantage until the end!
He Jiaguang looked up at Mai Xia, only to see her pear blossoms with rain, so sad.Seeing that I was still pitiful, He Jiaguang pursed his lips and said to Mai Xia: "How about I lose this round."

Mai Xia was startled, and stared blankly at He Jiaguang, you!Mai Xia slapped the chessboard angrily, and all the pieces on the chessboard jumped up, and she shouted coquettishly: "If I lose, I lose. Who will let you go! You are almost at the bottom, and you still let it go! Who do you think I am?" ah!"

Mai Xia glared at He Jiaguang viciously, and left the game room angrily.

He Jiaguang also knew that he was being abrupt, so he gave a wry smile and scratched his head in embarrassment.He Jiaguang tidied up the chess pieces, went to the teacher to register the score, and it turned out...Mai Xia had already reported that her white piece had won Sanmu.

Uh... For a while, He Jiaguang really didn't know what expression to make!It really is a needle in the bottom of a woman's heart!

"Xiaoguang, it's a pity that you lost Sanmu. But don't be discouraged, Mai Xia is the second seat in this round of round-robin competition. There are still four rounds to come, Xiaoguang, you have to work hard."

She turned out to be the second seat, He Jiaguang nodded dumbly, turned and left.He actually won the second seat, He Jiaguang couldn't help smiling, it seems that his condition is recovering well.Thinking that Senior Hua An was still waiting for him, He Jiaguang hurried over.

Mai Xia was angrily walking on the cobblestone path of Chess Academy, kicking pebbles from time to time, this is what you said to let go, you can't blame me!I was just too careless, so I accidentally lost to you. I will definitely win you next time, and I will give you another game when the time comes!
