Chapter 263 What Respect Does a Small Day Need?
When the two arrived in City B in the afternoon, Mu Yang was already waiting at the high-speed rail station, and when he saw the two walking out, he greeted them from a distance.
"You still come to pick me up for such a trivial matter?" Mu Qiu stepped forward and asked.
"The visitor is not kind, so it's better to pay attention to it." Mu Yang said, "At least pay attention to it on the surface, and get in the car first."
Soon Mu Yang drove the two of them away from the high-speed rail station.
"Go directly to the dojo?" Mu Qiu asked.
"How can you be so anxious?" Mu Yang glanced at him, "Dad will help you make an appointment with that guy for three days."
"Three days later." Mu Qiu pondered, "What do you mean by saying that the person who came was not kind? What's the inside story?"
"Yeah." Mu Yang nodded, "I asked the people at Little Days to do a little research. I heard that the guy spent a month studying your chess moves before he came here. He seemed very confident. This time it was done with great fanfare, and I kept people watching, saying that I had gone to the media, and it seems that the game will be reported live."
"Oh? That's really full of confidence." Mu Qiu smiled, not showing any nervousness.
Sure enough, the comer was not kind, and Ye Xiu was right, and he was here for him.
"Do you know which part he studied?" Mu Qiu asked.
"Of course it was when you participated in the World Championships." Mu Yang said, "You haven't played publicly since then."
"That's right." Mu Qiu smiled.
During the World Championships, there is really no need to worry.
Now he can even predict what way the opponent will use to play chess with him, and he has already thought about how to deal with that guy.
"During the World Championships." Mu Yang smiled strangely.
"Yeah, during the World Championships..." Mu Qiu laughed even weirder than him.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yunxiu was a little confused.
"If he wants to rely on his real ability to play against me, maybe I need to pay attention to it." Mu Qiu explained, "After all, he has a reputation as a genius, but he relies on studying my chess moves in the World Championships to deal with me, so what? It’s just that he dug a hole for himself, and if he can display 50% of his true strength, I would consider him a respectable opponent.”
"Bring yourself to shame," Mu Yang said.
"Brother Muyang, why do you seem to take it so seriously?" Chu Yunxiu was even more puzzled. Before getting into the car, Muyang's expression looked so serious.
"Because the real chess game is not just a confrontation on the chessboard." Mu Yang explained, "The real chess game actually started when he came to the door, and now it's the middle of the chess game. It's not just Mu Qiu and that little day. The game of chess also represents the game of chess between us relatives and friends."
"Uh...why am I getting more and more incomprehensible?" Chu Yunxiu was at a loss.
"Psychological game." Mu Qiu said, "A real master duel, in addition to the chess strength and chess game, there is also a psychological confrontation, which is similar to the effect of Huang Shaotian's trash talk in the glory match."
"I still don't understand." Chu Yunxiu said.
"You just wait and see the good show." Mu Qiu smiled, "I will explain it to you carefully after this game is over, and there will be no surprises in what I say now."
"All right……"
Three days passed by in a flash, except that Mu Qiu played two games of chess with his father as his opponent when he just returned home, and only played two games on the third night. Time didn't even touch the chessboard, but it didn't log in to Glory either.
This is also a game.
And during these three days, the major media that had already received the news naturally also came to hear the news, and various reports emerged one after another.
The official forums and websites of Huaxia Go have already heated up the news, and most people are shouting slogans to bring down the little days.
But there are also some discordant voices, some say that Mu Qiu has not played chess for a long time, is it really reliable to hold Buddha's feet temporarily now? The opponent's strength is also very strong.
Some said that neither the gymnastics nor Mu Qiu's family had any news about Mu Qiu's preparations for this battle, so they were not sure.
There are different opinions, some are optimistic about Mu Qiu, and some are not.
The latter was naturally caught by the former and most passers-by fans, but there are also many people who agree with this statement.
After all, Mu Qiu hasn't played chess for more than half a year or even a year or so.
Amidst all kinds of public opinion, the day of playing chess has arrived.
Early in the morning, the dojo was surrounded by the media and melon-eating crowd, waiting for the arrival of both parties.
And the one who arrived first was the young general from Little Days, oh, I don’t seem to have mentioned his name yet, sorry, it’s not important, I’m too lazy to call him Little Days.
After Little Days arrived, he asked about it and found out that Mu Qiu hadn't arrived yet, so he didn't enter the arena, but stood quietly at the entrance of the gymnasium, as if he was waiting for Mu Qiu to come over.
As for whether it was out of courtesy to the seniors or for some other reason, it is unknown.
Naturally, the reporters would not give up on this opportunity to interview, and they were quickly confronted with various questions.
In those days, my Chinese was not bad, and I answered each question with ease.
Faced with someone who asked him if he had the confidence to win this round, he only said that this time he was just asking for advice from his seniors, and he didn't care about winning or losing, but both the expression on his face and the behavior of the past few days showed his thoughts. Most of these reporters were recruited by him.
Facing the reporter's opinion on his opponent Mu Qiu's half-retirement and joining the Glory competition circle, Xiao Ritian had a regretful expression on his face.
"Senior Mu Qiu's attainments in Go are very profound. Although I have also heard the reason why he devoted himself to Glory, but to be honest, I think his behavior is a kind of disrespect for Go."
This is where the offensive begins.
"A game of Go is broad and profound, and it's not something that can be given up casually. Senior Mu Qiu was originally blessed by nature and surpassed many people in the game of Go, but it's really hard for people to admit that he gave up when he was closest to the peak. There are many ways, there is no need to joke about my future, if I win this battle by chance, I hope I can inspire the fighting spirit of the seniors and return to the circle of Go." Xiaotian talked eloquently, "I have already signed up for the next round. I really hope to compete with the real seniors on the field."
"Speaking is better than singing." In the private seat of the coffee shop opposite the dojo, Chu Yunxiu wrinkled her nose disdainfully as she listened to the smooth talk of her little days.
"Hehe." Mu Qiu, who was sitting opposite him, smiled faintly, noncommittal.
"Are we still going?" Chu Yunxiu asked.
"No hurry." Mu Qiu raised his hand and glanced at the time on his watch, "It's only half past eight, let's wait an hour before going."
"But didn't you say that the appointment time is nine o'clock? Wait an hour late?"
"That's right." Mu Qiu raised his eyebrows.
"Why?" Chu Yunxiu was puzzled.
"Didn't he keep saying that he wanted to ask me, a senior, for advice? Of course I have to be a bit senior." Mu Qiu laughed.
"But this...wouldn't it be a little disrespectful to the opponent?"
At the same time, everyone from Xingxin in the distance, Su Mucheng and Tao Xuan were also watching the situation here through live TV.
"Why isn't Xiao Qiu here yet?" Chen Guo was a little puzzled.
Ye Xiu gave an answer similar to Mu Qiu's, and then Chen Guo asked the same question.
"What kind of respect does a little ghost want when he comes to China?" Ye Xiu and Mu Qiu were separated by hundreds of miles, but they said in unison, "Besides, they didn't come here with any good ideas?"
