I am really a language teacher

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Ping took Ma Mingyu from Xingtan City to Yanjing City.Because he heard that he was going to participate in the domestic selection competition of the Three Kingdoms Rookie King Challenge, the Jiangnan Provincial Chess Academy was very pleasantly surprised and took the money for the air ticket, so Sun Ping also unceremoniously booked the business class.Compared with the crowded economy class, Sun Ping was satisfied with the looseness of the business class.

Ma Mingyu studied the seat equipment of the business class quite curiously, and his temper was much more lively than before.According to Ma Mingyu himself, Papa Ma has already quit his part-time job and concentrated on only one job.After all, with the income of Ma Mingyu's chess players, the economic situation of the Ma family has improved a lot.Papa Ma is even planning to buy an affordable housing, because the one-bedroom, one-living room he lives in is too crowded.

It only took two hours to fly from Xingtan to Yanjing. After leaving the airport, Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu took a taxi directly to the hotel arranged by Qiyuan.Although the hotel arranged by Qiyuan is not a five-star luxury hotel, but fortunately there is nothing missing, and it is quite quiet and clean.There was a check-in staff member from the Chess Academy at the front desk. After confirming the identities of Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu, they issued their room cards and competition certificates.

According to Sun Ping's understanding, this year's domestic selection tournament adopts the nature of an invitational tournament. The Chess Academy will select new chess players who have entered the ranks in the past two years, and then they will select the final players through chess games.Because there are quite a lot of new chess players in the Zhendan Kingdom, even if they are selected, there are as many as [-] players, so they had to use lottery to conduct a knockout match to determine the outcome.

According to the arrangement of the Chess Academy, tomorrow morning will be the mobilization meeting and lottery ceremony, then there will be a press conference at noon, and the game will start directly in the afternoon.The competition will end in about seven rounds, and the final winner will be awarded the title of "Aurora Go Rookie King". At the same time, all the top four players will be shortlisted for the Three Kingdoms Rookie King Tournament, and the four players who failed to enter the top four Players will be randomly drawn for the knockout round, and the final winner will also qualify.

Knowing about Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu's master-student relationship, the Chess Academy specially arranged for them to share a room.To Sun Ping's surprise, there is actually a place to play chess in the room, which is indeed a cooperative hotel of the Chess Academy.Because there was still some time before dinner, Ma Mingyu invited Sun Ping to play a game of chess.

Through the recent several big hands, Ma Mingyu's chess style has gradually been finalized.Different from Sun Pingji's stormy style of chess, Ma Mingyu's style of chess is gentle and drizzle.Ma Mingyu's chess style made Sun Ping feel that he had the style of "seeking Tao" of the ancients, but it would be a big mistake to think that Ma Mingyu was easy to bully.Many of Ma Mingyu's chess pieces look like idle pieces, but as the game progresses, these idle pieces can play a great role in the later stage.Sometimes Sun Ping felt as if he was caught in an indescribable net, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be swallowed by the whole net.

Although Ma Mingyu played very hard, facing Sun Ping's master-level go ability, Ma Mingyu was tricked by Sun Ping in the official stage and lost the game.However, Ma Mingyu was not discouraged by the loss, but excitedly asked Sun Ping to replay the game with him.

Because of the replay with Ma Mingyu, the game lasted for three hours.By the time Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu had thoroughly analyzed the chess game, it was already dinner time.Sun Ping took Ma Mingyu to the restaurant downstairs. Most of the food provided by the restaurant here is good for the brain. It seems that they have specially studied the needs of chess players.

Because of dinner, Sun Ping ate quite lightly, while Ma Mingyu, who presumably was a vegetarian, ate even more simply.Fortunately, Sun Ping forced Ma Mingyu to drink milk for three meals and boiled eggs for breakfast, otherwise Sun Ping was really worried that Ma Mingyu was a little nutritionally unbalanced.Fortunately, this child loves walnut milk, and it can be regarded as supplementing the consumption of the brain.

After dinner, Sun Ping went to the gym for some exercise, while Ma Mingyu soaked in the swimming pool and meditated.Although Ma Mingyu's behavior was a bit special, fortunately, people who played Go were more or less eccentric, so no one thought it was a bit strange.After exercising for an hour, Sun Ping took Ma Mingyu back to his room.

After returning to the room, Sun Ping wrote the novel in his notebook, while Ma Mingyu watched TV there.When it was past ten o'clock, Sun Ping told Ma Mingyu to sleep.Then I read the company documents for another hour, and took a shower and went to bed at eleven o'clock.

The next day, when Sun Ping woke up, Ma Mingyu was still sleeping.Sun Ping knew that adolescent children were more lethargic because of their development, so he didn't force him to get up and do morning exercises with him.After Sun Ping worked out in the gym for more than half an hour, the restaurant packed two breakfasts.Sun Ping himself had bread, milk, fried eggs and fried bacon; while Ma Mingyu had mushroom buns, milk, boiled eggs and a fruit and vegetable salad.When Sun Ping returned to the room with breakfast, Ma Mingyu was already washing his face and brushing his teeth.The two of them finished their breakfast, packed their clothes, and set off for Zhendan Chess Academy.

The address of the mobilization meeting was already marked at the gate of the Chess Academy, and Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu followed the signs to find the meeting room.The two chose an inconspicuous position and sat down. At this time, there were already some people in the meeting room.Afterwards, other people rushed to the meeting room one after another.After Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu sat for about half an hour, everyone in the meeting room was present.Then after waiting for about 10 minutes, the leaders of Qiyuan finally arrived at the venue.

There is no administrative leader in Zhendan Chess Academy, except for a few assistants and secretaries who belong to the administrative establishment, the rest are all formal chess players.For example, the current dean of the Zhendan Chess Institute is a nine-dan chess player in the Zhendan Kingdom, but those who have titles or who often participate in tournaments will not take up the position, so as not to delay the time of playing chess.

On the rostrum, the dean first talked about the past glory of Zhendan Chess Academy, and then talked about the recent embarrassment of being oppressed by Japan and South Korea.Especially when it comes to the fact that all international titles are divided between Japan and South Korea, many big chess players sitting with them lowered their heads in shame.Then I turned to talk about this international rookie championship. Although the rookie king is not a real title, I still hope that everyone can compete for this title for Zhendan Chess Academy.

In addition to the mobilization, several senior chess masters specially helped to analyze the mainstream Go styles of Japan and South Korea.To put it simply, the Korean chess style is more active and oppressive, while the Japanese chess style is like waves.In order to show this style of chess, the Chess Academy also specially selected two games for the players to watch, so that they can understand this style.

Because of the explanation of the chess game, the press conference was postponed until three o'clock in the afternoon.The reporters at the press conference were also not polite, because the Zhendan Chess Academy was really ashamed last year, so the reporters also opened fire and made all kinds of ridicule.

Although Sun Ping was not at the scene, he heard a rough idea from others.For Zhendan players being besieged by reporters, Sun Ping really didn't have much sympathy.Competitive sports is a very realistic place, where success is king and failure is thief.Especially after losing to foreigners, the reporters naturally had a stomach full of anger to vent.

After the press conference ended, the Chess Institute began to inform everyone to prepare for the game.According to the result of the lottery, Sun Ping will meet the only third-dan player in this selection competition in the first round.Ma Mingyu, on the other hand, was very lucky to draw a top lottery, and went straight to a bye.Sun Ping looked at the group situation, and then went to the game room where he was and waited for his opponent.

To be honest, Sun Ping didn't understand why there were third-dan players in this selection tournament.Although third-dan players are not eligible to participate in the title battle, general tournaments are enough.Even in those first-level championships, third-tier players are enough to qualify for the qualifying rounds.Sun Ping was curious as to why this third-tier player was lazy so he hadn't even participated in a single championship.

Just when Sun Ping was curious, the door of the chess room opened, and a boy in his twenties with acne on his face walked in.He looked at Sun Ping and said, "I'll give way first! At the beginning, be more persistent, and be careful when you make a shot in the middle."

Sun Ping didn't speak, and took the sunspot naturally.In the game between different ranks, it is natural for the lower rank players to hold black.If the difference in ranks is more than three dans, low-rank players do not need to post if they hold black;Therefore, although Sun Ping can be black, he still needs to post.

But in the face of this kind of third-tier players, Sun Ping might not lose even if he countered the post, so Sun Ping just smiled and started to lose.The third dan game against Sun Ping can be regarded as a strange work of Zhendan Chess Academy. It is said that his father bought several players one after another before he could barely enter the dan trial.Then he didn't want to participate in the Dashouhe competition, and when it was about to be disqualified, he asked his father to pay for one or two.

As a result, the operation was repeated, and this kid was promoted to the third rank inexplicably.After reaching the third stage, this kid started to be all kinds of arrogant.Back then, he said he wanted to become a professional chess player in order to pursue girls, but now that he has the status of a third-dan player, he has become rampant in the local area.Because his father is so rich, he held all kinds of Go tournaments in their small county.Although this person's motivation is impure, he has also made a lot of contributions to the promotion of Go.

But even so, Sun Ping didn't hold back at all.In such a game, it is actually very stupid to preserve strength.Since it is a rookie match, if the game is dull, those big chess players will be dissatisfied.So because of Sun Ping's ruthlessness, the only third-dan who claimed to be the number one seed player in this tournament suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Although this person is not good at chess, he has played Go for so many years, so he still has eyesight.He didn't expect that a first-level chess player who just entered the stage would have such powerful skills.In less than half an hour, the three-stage chess player still surrendered in the middle game.Sun Ping didn't deliberately humiliate anything, he just sorted out the chess records at hand and left.

The first day of the competition was somewhat uneventful, after all, it was everyone's first match.Even if the only third-rank was eliminated, no one said anything, because this person's deeds were too eye-catching, and everyone knew about this strange third-rank.Therefore, except for some caring people, almost no one noticed Sun Ping.

But with the start of the second knockout round, many people were surprised that there were such strong players in the initial stage.Because Sun Ping didn't participate in too many Dashouhe events, so he was still a little short of points before being promoted, so Sun Ping was not in the list of players to follow.

But with Sun Ping's strength, more and more people began to notice Sun Ping.On the contrary, Ma Mingyu, Sun Ping's disciple, slowly rose up quietly, and soon it was the 1/16 knockout round that decided everything.
