Interstellar Miner

Chapter 794 Homecoming
Within a few days, everyone in the Jiakai Chess Academy knew that there was a new talented chess boy named Luo Guang, whose chess skill was so high that it was hardly inferior to the teacher of the chess academy.Moreover, playing chess with Luo Guang can always comprehend a lot. Several students have already broken through the bottleneck that has been fettered for a long time, and their chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

Ordinary chess boys can only play chess with the students in the Jiakai Chess Academy, and it is good to get a few pointers from the teacher once in a while, but now Luo Guang, the teachers in the Chess Academy are scrambling to play chess with him, and the students are eagerly queuing behind , I hope I can have the honor to play a game with Luo Guang.

After staying in these few days, He Jiaguang also found out a lot of details about Jiakai Chess Academy.

Jiakai Chess Academy has three grades: A, B, and C. Class A is the best, Class B is the second, and Class C is the youngest.

Class A even has a privilege, they can get a certain amount of immortality merits by winning games, which is the best way for common people without any background to cultivate immortality.

As the top three famous go academy in the county, Jiakai chess academy has extremely strict admissions requirements. It is not possible to get in if you have money, but at the same time, it is even more difficult to get in if you don't have money.

The fees charged by the Jiakai Chess Academy are far from what ordinary families can afford. Fortunately, the dean of the Jiakai Chess Academy is from a commoner background and takes good care of the children of the common people. Every year, a special examination room is set up for the children of the common people.

Every year, thousands of civilian children come to participate in the selection, but in the end, only the civilian children who stand out from the encirclement and enter the top four can enjoy the honor of exempting tuition fees.

Kang Tianyuan's cousin, Kang Xiaomu, was admitted to the Jiakai Chess Academy in this way, when she was only 13 years old.

Compared with the rich and noble children who have been taught by professional Go teachers since they were young in the big gates, the ordinary children are not far behind at 01:30, and they are struggling in Class C.If you fail the annual assessment for two consecutive years, you can only pack up and leave.

Kang Xiaomu's Go talent is excellent, and he caught up with the big team in just half a year. Later, he was favored by Go teacher Yun Shishuang, and he was taken as a disciple to teach him carefully. At the age of 14, he advanced to Class B and sprinted bravely towards Class A.

But after all, immortals are different.

If you want to go far on the endless road of Go, ordinary people have too many limitations. Once you pass the golden age, your chess strength will decline.

This is because the mortal system is doomed to have limited consciousness. As one gets older, one's reaction, concentration, and other aspects will decline. Switching to Go means that the deduction ability will be greatly reduced.This is why some older Go masters always lose to young, strong and energetic young players.

Immortal cultivators and immortals are another matter. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the spiritual consciousness and the stronger the deduction ability. When it comes to Go, the older you are, the better your chess skills are.

Just like a martial arts competition, in Go, the immortals will often be hammered when they face the immortals. The higher the level of the immortal, the higher the chess strength.

People like He Jiaguang and Zi Cheliang who can leapfrog the hammer are, after all, only a very few of the very few.

There is such a generally accepted saying in Jiakai Chess Academy, if the children of ordinary people fail to advance to Class A before the age of 20, then stop having illusions, seek a good way out early, and live comfortably for a lifetime.

In fact, the Jiakai Chess Academy was pretty good at first, and from time to time there were civilian children entering Class A, but as time went on, the cultivation of Class A disciples with background and family support continued to improve, and the commoner children wanted to win a game. It becomes more and more difficult, and it is inevitable to become the tail of the crane.

The general trend is that Advanced Class A is becoming more and more strict on ordinary children, always giving priority to selecting wealthy children with good talents to enter Class A, and their future achievements will be higher, which will be more helpful to the development of the chess academy.

The Jiakai Chess Academy has achieved its current preeminent status, thanks to those wealthy children who have grown up.

It's not that the common people's children have no hope of advancing to Class A, but up to now, there is only one place at most every year.

Every time in order to compete for this spot, the teachers of the chess academy who love their students can't wait to fight. Of course, it is impossible to really fight, and they can only talk in Go.

Kang Xiaomu's teacher, Yunshi Shuangqi, is among the best teachers in the entire Jiakai Chess Academy, and has reached the finals for three consecutive years, but every time it comes to a critical moment, it is only a little bit short.

In a flash, Kang Xiaomu was already 17 years old. If he wasted another two or three years and passed the age of 20, there would be nothing he could do.

This is indeed unfair, but He Jiaguang has nothing to say. After all, even if he is practicing as a mortal, playing chess with the teachers and students of Jiakai Chess Academy, he still prefers those with better talents and more potential.

Among them, He Jiaguang played the most games with Yun Shishuang and Kang Xiaomu.

Yun Shishuang was able to play a master-level [-]-way Go game. His chess skills are quite good, and his basic skills are very solid. However, there are still many deficiencies in the overall situation, so it is easy to make mistakes and reveal flaws at critical moments.

When He Jiaguang played chess with Yun Shishuang, or in other words, when he played guiding chess, he always deliberately controlled it, using the advantages of the local battlefield in the early stage to guide Yun Shishuang to analyze the chess game more comprehensively and connect the whole chess game together.

After only three games, Yun Shishuang's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and his chess style has become more stable.

As for Kang Xiaomu, He Jiaguang focused more on cultivating her sense of chess. After all, Kang Xiaomu hadn't practiced yet, and his deduction ability was limited.

Kang Xiaomu's talent is very good, she didn't need too much guidance from He Jiaguang, and soon formed her own Go style, with sharp moves.Now Kang Xiaomu can win or lose against the brothers and sisters of Class A in Shangyun Shishuang.

After playing chess with He Jiaguang, other teachers and students of the Chess Academy can always understand a lot, which leads to more and more teachers and students wanting to play chess with He Jiaguang.

Although the chess boy is just a cover, He Jiaguang still hopes to cultivate more Go talents. He is busy from morning to night, and has not had time to eat lunch several times.

Kang Xiaomu visited He Jiaguang several times, and wanted to play another game of chess, but the small courtyard was so blocked that he couldn't squeeze in.

Kang Xiaomu played four games against He Jiaguang in total. Although he won three games, Kang Xiaomu knew that there was a huge gap between him and He Jiaguang.In these four rounds, He Jiaguang used different routines. With such unconstrained style, each round can benefit him a lot.If He Jiaguang was playing a serious game, maybe even Teacher Yun Shishuang might not be his opponent.

In the words of teacher Yun Shishuang, this son is definitely not a thing in the pool, and his future is limitless.

The three-yearly Youth Go Tournament in the county is about to be held. It is related to the ranking of the chess academy. The Jiakai Chess Academy is the general mobilization of the whole academy.

A senior sister of Kang Xiaomu was successfully selected, and Yun Shishuang will go to the county to compete with her as an instructor.

The rest of Yun Shishuang's disciples will also go together. Even if they can't participate in the competition, they can still compete with other chess academy disciples outside the court to improve themselves.

The chess academy is responsible for the expenses of the contestants, and non-participating disciples can only pay at their own expense if they want to accompany them.So Kang Xiaomu, who stopped at the top 32 in the trials, stayed at Jiakai Chess Academy.

The contestants, teachers and students left Jiakui Chess Academy in a hurry and headed towards the county capital.

For a while, the Jiakai Chess Academy was much deserted, but He Jiaguang's courtyard was still so popular.

In the evening of that day, Kang Xiaomu had dinner in the cafeteria. He wrapped a chicken leg with a piece of clean toilet paper before eating.

"What? Don't you like chicken legs?" He Jiaguang smiled and sat across from Kang Xiaomu, asking the question knowingly.

"Senior Brother Luo." Kang Xiaomu called out with a sweet smile, and explained, "Mr. Yun and senior brothers and sisters have gone to the county capital. I just had some free time and am going to go home for a few days. This chicken leg is for me. Brother Tianyuan took him, he is growing and needs nutrition."

"Oh, that little fellow Tianyuan." He Jiaguang nodded cheerfully.

Kang Xiaomu blinked in surprise, did Brother Luo know Tian Yuan?
He Jiaguang narrated with a smile.

So that's what happened, Kang Xiaomu nodded suddenly.Tian Yuan is very good at backgammon, but how could he be the opponent of Senior Brother Luo? The last game Tian Yuan won should be Brother Luo's intentional trick.

He Jiaguang said: "I'm about to go out to get some air, or we can go together, just to see Tianyuan."

ah?Kang Xiaomu was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, okay.

Back in the dormitory, Kang Xiaomu was still a little foggy, lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking a lot.

Logically speaking, Senior Brother Luo and Tian Yuan only met once, but Senior Brother Luo suddenly proposed to go with him, did he really go to visit Tian Yuan, or did he have other intentions?

Unknowingly, Kang Xiaomu's pretty face was already hot, oh, I'm so ashamed!Kang Xiaomu covered her face with the quilt and fell asleep after a long time.

The next day, the sky was misty.

Kang Xiaomu hurriedly washed up, went to the cafeteria to drink a bowl of porridge and ate two steamed buns, then rushed to the gate of Jiakai Chess Academy, looked around, and saw He Jiaguang who was hiding sideways at the corner of the street and waving to him.

It's no wonder that if Senior Brother Luo had breakfast in the cafeteria, a large number of students would come over and queue up to ask for a chess game.

Yesterday at dinner, Senior Brother Luo sat across from him and had just taken a few bites when a bunch of girls squeezed over, all glaring, trying not to let him be alone with Senior Brother Luo.

And Senior Brother Luo could only wink at him quietly, agreeing to many requests for playing chess.

Kang Xiao ran over quickly and called out, "Senior Brother Luo, good morning, have you had breakfast yet?"

"No, eat on the way."

"Oh, I knew I would bring you two buns."

"It's okay, let's go."

Kang Xiaomu responded, and led He Jiaguang towards the outside of the city.

"Junior Sister Kang, wait a moment." He Jiaguang walked to a small stall in the morning market, glanced around, spotted a simple Go board, negotiated the price with the stall owner, and bought two chess jars with it. down.

Brother Luo, what is this?Kang Xiaomu looked at He Jiaguang suspiciously.

He Jiaguang put the chessboard and chess jar behind his back, smiled and said, "A gift for Tianyuan."

"This... this is too precious, Tian Yuan is only a child, Brother Luo, please don't." Kang Xiaomu was a little panicked.

He Jiaguang smiled casually and said: "It's okay, Tian Yuan wants to get this gift, but he has to pass three tests."

Kang Xiaomu nodded in a daze, and thanked Tian Yuan.Brother Luo just likes Tian Yuan so much?Indeed, Tian Yuan's Go talent is not inferior to his own at all. If it wasn't for the family's limited conditions and couldn't afford to hire a teacher, he could only go home from time to time to tutor him.
