[Soul of Chess] What if

Sangu's good mood didn't last long.

Due to the current economic downturn, his parents hardly give him pocket money anymore.

Although my sister will deduct a large amount from her part-time salary every time as his pocket money.It's just that such a small amount of money is not enough to pay for the venue fee of the Go club, let alone buy the Walkman that I have been dreaming of for a long time.

However, even if Sangu makes money by gambling, it is not a long-term solution.

Every time between after school and before going home, he can only play a maximum of three rounds.However, the bet for each game is only 1000 yuan.Even if I win every game, after deducting the venue fee of 500 yuan, I can only make a net profit of [-] yuan at most.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation.

Because he can't guarantee that he can win every game.

If he only tried to raise enough money to buy the Walkman through the method of 1000 yuan per round, then he must play three rounds each day for eight consecutive days and win each round.Only then would he end up with enough money to pay for the Walkman.

Winning 24 games in a row for eight consecutive days is not an easy task.

What's more, he didn't know how long the walkman's discount would last, nor could he guarantee that someone would buy the tower during this period.

Therefore, only by collecting the money as soon as possible can you finally get your wish.

Discovering that you can use cheating while preparing land is a pretty serendipitous opportunity.

Sangu's Go was taught by his grandfather when he was very young.

When he was in elementary school, there was a teacher in the school who could play Go, so he would often play chess with that teacher after school.

Although the teacher is a big man, he really likes to eat all kinds of desserts.The drawers of his desk are often filled with various snacks, and these snacks often become Sangu's spoils.However, that is only possible when he wins.

If he lost to that person unfortunately, he would have to help scrub the floor.

Although this is nothing to him.However, every time he sees that person's childish and deliberately smug expression when he scrubs the floor hard, Sangu can't help but grit his teeth angrily, feeling that it's really unfair to lose to such a person. It should be.

In a later game, Sangu was annoyed to find that he might lose to the opponent with a difference of two eyes.

While being reconciled, he suddenly thought that when preparing the land, people often seem to only focus on finishing the opponent's land on the board, and don't pay much attention to the opponent's technique.If you secretly move the chess pieces on the way to prepare the ground, will the opponent notice it?

With the mentality of having fun and giving it a try, he secretly moved a few chess pieces while preparing the ground.

Of course, during this small movement, his heart kept beating violently, as if it was about to pop out of his chest.His fingers couldn't help trembling slightly during this process.

When the other party started to count the territory, Sangu only felt that his heart seemed to be beating even harder, and he felt that the palms of his clenched hands were also unconsciously covered with sweat.

Will it be discovered?

Or has it been discovered?

Sangu kept repeating these two sentences in his heart.

He wanted to sneak a peek at the other party's reaction, but he was afraid that his actions would make the other party notice something was wrong.He even felt that the other party had heard the violent pounding of his heart due to nervousness.

He couldn't help but slow down his breathing a little.Trying to hide my nervousness.

As a result, the opponent did not notice that he had moved his hands and feet while preparing the ground.

After realizing this, while Sangu heaved a sigh of relief, he unexpectedly felt a sense of satisfaction that his cleverness had succeeded.

He managed to avoid the tragic end of scrubbing the floor that day.And that sense of satisfaction becomes even stronger when I bite into the limited-edition crunchy chocolate bar that makes that person feel distressed.

Even though he knew it was wrong to do so, in the later games, he still couldn't help trying secretly when preparing the ground.Sometimes even if he is sure to win, he still wants to play a little prank.

Gradually, he actually found out a way to move the chess pieces that is difficult to detect.

After graduating from elementary school, for various reasons, he started to play chess in the chess club.

Although his technique of moving chess pieces has become more and more proficient, he has never used this trick in front of the adults of the chess club.

The boss of the chess club is a very good person.

Due to my personality, I treat people a little coldly, so few people are willing to take the initiative to get close to me.However, Boss Xiu has always taken care of himself.

After learning that he made money by playing lottery, although he didn't agree with it, he would still arrange guests for himself.In addition, he also prepares various delicious snacks for himself from time to time.

Seeing Boss Xiu, Sangu sometimes couldn't help but recall his deceased grandfather.If grandpa is still alive, seeing me playing chess to make money from gambling at a young age, I should be like Boss Xiu, who can't help but want to blame himself, and at the same time try his best to make himself suffer less Bar.

Because of this, he has always played chess with his own strength.

Although there are losses and wins in the result, fortunately, I have won more times.So, it didn't take long for him to become famous in this area, and more and more people came to him to play chess.

If it wasn't for the Walkman that he had wanted for a long time, Sangu might never have thought of using his skillful technique of moving chess pieces when preparing the ground.

After all, even if one's own technique is very clever, it is generally not easy for the other party to notice.However, such behavior still has certain risks, that is to say, there is still a danger of being discovered.

Boss Xiu has always taken care of himself, so Sangu actually doesn't want to cause trouble for him.

It's just that maybe I want that Walkman too much.

After struggling for a long time, Sangu finally played tricks on the ground.

That day, Sangu played chess with a regular customer in the chess club.

Perhaps because of his better luck, he has already won two games in a row.In other words, he has already won 2000 yuan.

It's just that the entrance fee to the chess club is 500 yuan, so his net profit so far is 500 yuan.

When the guest was in the third round, the opponent suddenly played a very powerful move.It is this move that complicates the situation on the board.

Sangu calculated a little bit, and found that he lost to the opponent by a little bit.If this continues, he is likely to lose.

If you really lose this round, you will have to be taken away by the opponent for 1000 yuan, then you will only have 500 yuan left.In other words, I played chess hard all afternoon, but only earned 500 yuan in the end.

If I used the ground preparation to cheat... I wouldn't lose this game, then I could make a net profit of 500 yuan today, and I would be one step closer to successfully buying that Walkman.

Although cheating has the risk of being discovered.But... 500 yuan and 500 yuan are really quite a big gap...

After a rather difficult struggle, he finally made up his mind.

So at the end of that day, he earned 500 yuan.

Ever since he tasted the sweetness that time, Sangu has become more and more out of control—the number of times he cheated is increasing day by day.

Although there is a string in his heart that keeps reminding himself: Can't go on like this!Sooner or later it will be discovered!

However, he seemed to be involved in a vortex. Even if he resisted slightly in his heart, he still couldn't match the tangible benefits brought by cheating.

He loathed himself like this, and at the same time couldn't help continuing this disgraceful behavior.

Shindo Hikaru was the first person to approach him proactively.

Although I didn't like this overly familiar person at first, especially when I saw that person was obviously full of worries but deliberately put on a very relaxed expression, I felt that this person was very hypocritical.

But later, under the entanglement of the other party, I was forced to know more about that person, and gradually realized that this person named Hikari Shinto was not an annoying guy.

The strange thing is that that person should be a very sunny person.

However, for some reason, there was a layer of gray shadow covering his body. His character, which should have been very bright, always faintly gave people a deep sense of fatigue.As if he was carrying some unbearable burden.

Just like myself.

Perhaps this is the reason why he allowed Shinto Hikari to approach him.

Sometimes, people can only get the comfort they have longed for from people who are very similar to themselves.

Perhaps it was because he didn't want to lose this hard-won warmth, so he was careful not to let Shindo realize that he would do something when he was preparing the ground.

Unfortunately, he still found out.

He couldn't even accept gambling to make money, let alone his cheating behavior.

From this point of view, the relationship between himself and Shindo Hikaru should end here.

Moreover, he seems to have a new friend.If that's the case, I probably won't need myself anymore.Mitani looked at the two key rings in Shinto's hand, thinking so.

"You have good eyesight."

Seeing Ah Guang's expression of unfeigned concern, Sangu chuckled lightly.

"Sangu, don't cheat anymore, okay? If adults find out, there will be bad consequences." Ah Guang seemed very worried.

However, Sangu just explained this with some complacency: "My skills are very high. What's more, I am a child, and generally no one will guard against me."

"But……"

Although Ah Guang seemed to be genuinely worried about himself, Sangu couldn't help being a little annoyed: "Stop talking! I'm just like that. If you can't accept it, just be a good boy with your new friend." Baby go!"

His words were almost roared out.

Before Ah Guang could react, he saw San Gu's back disappearing into the crowd.

"Three valleys!"

Sangu might have heard Ah Guang's shout, or maybe he didn't.In short, he ran away without the slightest pause.

new friend?Why would Sangu say that?

Thinking of what Sangu said before, Ah Guang couldn't help being a little puzzled.

He looked around, only to realize that he was still holding the two cheese cat-shaped key rings in his hand.

Unexpectedly, I forgot to put them away...

Ah Guang held up the two key rings. After looking at them for a long time, he finally sighed softly and put them into his backpack.

Such a Sangu, I don’t know if anyone will like it...(ó﹏ò)
