Chapter 199: Playing Chess

( ) "Over there is the rest room, the three of you can go there to rest." The staff member pointed to the cabin on one side and said.

"Brother, can I go in and take a look?" Shen Xin secretly pointed to the inside of the dojo and asked in a low voice.

He has only seen the Go Dojo in magazines, but the feeling of being there is completely different from seeing it in magazines.

The staff was a little embarrassed, Shang Haozhi went up and said a few good words, and the other party said a little embarrassed, "Well, since you are the teacher's friend, there is nothing wrong with letting the three of you in, but no matter what happens, the three of you can't Speak, or I may lose my job."

"Don't worry, if you lose your job, I'll hire you."

The staff thought Shang Haozhi was talking big, smiled awkwardly, and reminded again: "Remember, don't talk."

Shen Xin promised again and again, and after thanking them again, the three of them entered the dojo.

The lights in the dojo are bright, like daytime.

The Go tables are neatly arranged in a straight line, and each Go table has two people sitting opposite each other. At a glance, there should be hundreds of pairs of players, but no one in the dojo made a sound.

As far as the ear can reach, there are all the sounds of falling stones and pressing the timer. Each chess player concentrates, looks at the board, holds the pieces in hand, and thinks about the next move.

Three people entered the dojo, no one looked up, and no one looked sideways.

After Shen Xin entered the dojo, her heart could not be calm for a long time. All chess players concentrate on nothing but the space in front of them.

Just watching one or two people playing chess may not make you feel deeply, but there is indeed an indescribable shock when hundreds of people play chess at the same time.

Shen Xin looked around, there were portraits and aphorisms hanging on the wall, as well as the coach's introduction.

Just as he was thinking of going over, he glanced casually, but suddenly found that the two people opposite him bowed to each other, stood up from their seats, and then walked to the corner to watch the other two people play chess.

Under normal circumstances, only masters will attract other chess players.

Feeling curious in Shen Xin's heart, she also walked over. Seeing this, Shang Haozhi pulled Wang Wenhong, and then followed Shen Xin to the Go table in the corner.

There are two people playing chess, a man and a woman. The girls are not very old.

Around twenty years old, holding sunspots in his hand. As for boys...

Shen Xin glanced at the boy, and her gaze was immediately attracted to him.

He said he was a boy, but he was actually a child, who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, holding a white piece in his hand, and his expression was not nervous.

The girl frowned, holding the sunspot in the palm of her hand. After three or four minutes of silence, she finally dropped the chess piece and pressed the timer.

The child put down the chess piece without thinking too much.

The longer the girl thought about it, the child's expression didn't change much.

After another five or six moves, the girl held the chess piece tightly and said in a low voice, "I lost."

"Boring... Your dojo is also not interesting." The child threw the chess pieces on the board, stood up, and looked around, "What are you looking at, haven't you seen winning chess? Hmph!"

The child left the table, bumped away from Shen Xin who was standing on the side, looked back at Shen Xin, turned and left with a proud face.

Wang Wenhong frowned slightly. If he hadn't been told by the staff repeatedly when he came in, he would have said a few words to the child.

Shen Xin didn't care much about these things, instead her eyes fell on the female chess player.

The female chess player bowed her head in silence, but her tears fell on the chessboard, while the two male chess players kept comforting her.

"Senior sister, it's just a round loss, the master won't blame you."

"Yeah, he is also very famous in China, and there are too many chess players who have lost to him."

The female chess player just shook her head without making a sound.

After listening to the conversations of these people, Shen Xin also guessed that the kid just now was probably a prodigy in Go, and, judging from what they said, that kid didn't seem to be from the dojo either.

Go here is over, and the other groups of Go are still going on.

Shen Xin didn't know Go, and she felt distressed when she saw that every player was going all out, but couldn't see the clues. She could only read the coach's introduction hanging on the wall.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, voices came from the corridor.

Shen Xin looked towards the corridor, and finally saw three people walking down the stairs.

One of them was a senior, balding, grizzled man with a goatee and a broad smile.

Shen Xin had just seen this person's introduction on the wall, the head coach of the dojo, Xie Chengbo Jiuduan.

The person walking beside him was in his early thirties, with long hair and an arrogant face. He was wearing a Tang suit, and his aura obviously overwhelmed Xie Chengbo.

"Zhen Duo Jiuduan!" Shang Haozhi's voice was very low, but his tone was full of surprise.

"Who is he?" Shen Xin asked in a low voice.

"The number one Go player in China, the holder of the three titles of 'Tianyuan', 'Chess Master', and 'Celebrity'." Shang Haozhi said in a low voice.

Shen Xin grinned, she didn't expect this middle-aged man to be so powerful.

Following the two of them was the kid who had just played chess, looking left and right with a blank expression on his face.

Seeing the three of Shang Haozhi, Xie Chengbo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly to Shang Haozhi, and sent Zhen Duo and the child out of the dojo.

"Mr. Shang, do you really know Xie Chengbo Jiuduan?" Wang Wenhong said in a low voice.

"Have I lied to anyone?" Shang Haozhi looked helpless.

Xie Chengbo returned to the dojo, waved slightly at the three people, and then walked towards the stairs.

Shang Haozhi followed, followed by Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong.

The second, third, and fourth floors are all training grounds, but the third and fourth floors are almost empty, and there are not many people.

After reaching the fifth floor, Xie Chengbo turned around and said, "You haven't been here for a long time."

"I've been busy." Shang Haozhi smiled.

"I have time today."

"I need to trouble the teacher with something." Shang Haozhi explained, "It was Zhen Duo's 9th stage just now, right?"

"Well, the Three Kingdoms Go game is about to start. As the main player, he is under a lot of pressure, so he brought his children to my place to chat." Shang Haozhi explained.

"So that's how it is. That kid just now is the son of the Zhen family. I wonder why he is so good at chess." Shang Haozhi sighed.

"Yeah, even though he is only thirteen years old, he is already in the second stage, and the future can be expected." Xie Chengbo smiled, and glanced at Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong again, "These two are freshmen."

"Oh, sir, that's exactly what I'm here for."

"Learn chess?" Xie Chengbo asked.

"No." Shang Haozhi picked up the envelope in his hand, "It's related to comics."

"I don't understand comics, and I don't read comics, so I can't help you." Xie Chengbo pushed open the door of the office.

"What if... this comic has something to do with Go?" Shang Haozhi laughed.

Xie Chengbo stopped and looked at Shang Haozhi suspiciously, "It has something to do with Go? Is it reliable?"

"Very reliable." Shang Haozhi nodded confidently.
