I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 185: Abusing the Strongest Chess Player in History and Missing the Opportunity to Abuse the Noob to Show Off (First Update)
Qiu Weijie, who is in his fifties, wore a mask and squinted at the sky, but found that he didn't need to squint at all as he couldn't see the sun.

The sky was gray and the whole city was shrouded in a gloomy gray.

The buildings appeared blurred in the haze. The alleys twenty or thirty meters away were difficult to see clearly, not to mention the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests one kilometer away.

Qiu Weijie wanted to spit, but then he remembered that he was wearing an N95 mask, so he raised his head, pushed the door open quickly and walked into an inconspicuous small door on the side of the road.

When the door was pushed open, there was a screen-shaped entrance hall with a few large characters written in bold ink on it - "Kuai Yi Enchou".

"Fuck! It's such a barren day, the air outside is getting thick. More than three hundred? Bullshit, it's definitely off the charts. I don't think it can even reach a thousand."

As soon as Qiu Weijie entered the room, he took off his mask and started yelling at a middle-aged woman in her forties standing at the door of the chess hall.

"Teacher Qiu is here? What kind of tea would you like to drink today? Or the usual, Zhengxingde Jasmine Dragon Ball?" The middle-aged woman in a Tang suit greeted him familiarly.

Qiu Weijie took off his coat and walked to the hall, lighting a cigarette: "No, no, no, the air is so bad today, I need a bottle of chrysanthemum to clear my lungs. Xiao Xu, today is the last day of the holiday, who is coming?"

"Teacher Qiu, the smoke you smoke is much more serious than the smog. Besides, smoking is banned in all public places in Xinhao, and there is a fifty dollar fine for smoking." A woman in her forties called Xiao Xu casually handed over an ashtray.

"Teacher Zheng and Teacher Wang are both here. Teacher Xia is giving chess instructions to two guests. Oh, Xiao Gu is here too, and he's playing on the computer with a few kids." Xiao Xu pointed inside.

"Xiao Gu? Doesn't he have two Menglily finals tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Why is he here today?" Qiu Weijie was stunned at first, then he took the ashtray and rolled his eyes: "It's so troublesome to collect the fine every time, can't you just get a monthly package? I'll go in and take a look first."

Qiu Weijie staggered to the game room in the chess hall, where there were at least five or six tables.

"Lao Wang, what were you thinking at move 126 in the third set of the year-end tournament? Were you drunk again?"

The bald old man surnamed Wang was not angry either: "Didn't you suddenly remember your super flying sword in the 33rd Chunlan Cup? I thought at the time, hey, the situation is the same, so I used it. Later I remembered that you retired in the middle of that game."

Qiu Weijie was cursing as he walked around with a cup of tea in his hand.

That year was the year he was closest to winning the championship, but somehow a "shitty move" shattered his dream completely, and he didn't recover for many years.

"Teacher Qiu."

"Teacher Qiu."

Several young chess players who were gathered around the computer screen and pointing and talking saw Qiu Weijie coming over and greeted him politely.

"Eh? Xiao Gu, don't you have two games of chess tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? What are you doing here? Lee Se-sil is not easy to play against."

Qiu Weijie took a sip of chrysanthemum tea and looked at the computer screen in front of Gu Jie curiously.

"Playing the game? That's fine. Eh? This isn't Lee Se-sil's game? Then why are you wasting your time?" Qiu Weijie took another sip of tea. "Let me tell you, you're in good form this year, so you must seize the moment. Otherwise, if you lose your form, it'll be hard to get back on track. Eh? This game is interesting. Who's playing on the other side?"

"Teacher Qiu, I don't know who he is, but he's a chess player on Yicheng, named Orange. He played a total of twelve games that day, winning 11 games in a row, beating Jingxing. He only lost to Gu Jie in the last game." A thin young chess player explained to Qiu Weijie.

"This Orange's chess moves are very strange. I can't figure out whose vest he is."

Qiu Weijie lost interest as soon as he heard this. Occasionally, there would be strange IDs on the battle platform that could defeat professional chess players, but most of them were aliases of professional chess players. He didn't know who opened a new account to bully noobs and finally fell into Gu Jie's hands.

"Xiao Gu, you'd better go back quickly, take a rest and prepare. You can't be distracted at this time. If you lose another game, you will lose the championship." Qiu Weijie warned.

For chess players of the older generation like him, the current chess world is the heyday they always dreamed of.

In recent years, many Go geniuses have emerged in Da Zhou, completely breaking South Korea's dominance over Go.

This year, chess players from the Great Zhou Dynasty swept almost all the championships in international competitions, achieving total dominance.

The seemingly unremarkable Gu Jie in front of us is just 18 years old this year, but he has already won two world championships and is even called "the strongest chess player in history" by many people.

Qiu Weijie has retired from first-tier competitions for many years, but how could he not be happy to see young chess players perform like this?

After all, he still holds a position in the Great Zhou Chess Academy.

"We have prepared everything we need to prepare. There is nothing more to prepare for." Gu Jie pushed his glasses and blinked his eyes. "The last time he lost to Lee Se-sil with white, it was mainly because the hotel was too bad. In the last two games at the Great Zhou Chess Academy, he couldn't win."

Qiu Weijie stared, but seeing Gu Jie's confident face, he couldn't say anything.

It’s great to be young and energetic.

The hotel hosting the last two games suddenly caught fire. Although the fire was not big and the damage to the hotel was not serious, such a world-class competition obviously could not have any hidden dangers, so the venue was temporarily moved back to the Da Zhou Chess Academy.

"This chess game just looks a little strange. Why are you studying it? Didn't you win?" Qiu Weijie took the chair pushed by the young chess player and sat down.

Gu Jie pointed to the 30th move and said, "I think this one is quite interesting."

Qiu Weijie took a closer look and his eyes lit up: "30 clips? Wu Qingyuan?"

This move has a distinct Wu Qingyuan style.

However, Qiu Weijie then shook his head and said, "It was still too early to rely on it. Later, the black pieces advanced to the third position, and the white pieces were passive."

Gu Jie pointed down the chessboard until he reached the fortieth move.

"Jump!?" The chess piece jumped, and Qiu Weijie jumped with it. The three white pieces that were originally not very related, after this small jump, the effect of the 30-pinch move just now immediately appeared.

Not only is the left side vaguely connected to the white chess piece on the right, but it can also suppress the potential of the black chess piece above.

This is a move that connects all the pieces on the board! It is a move that completely breaks away from the existing pattern!

I've never seen anyone do this before!
"How did you win later?" Qiu Weijie couldn't help but ask Gu Jie. After this move, Gu Jie's situation took a sharp turn for the worse. If he failed to cope with it, it would not be surprising that he would resign in the middle of the game.

Gu Jie scratched his head and continued to demonstrate step by step: "I was a little confused at the time, but the situation was already like this, so I had to continue. At the 67th move, I found an opportunity. It is generally believed that I should attack the three white pieces on the right first, but at the time I thought there was still room for improvement, so I placed my move here."

Gu Jie pointed out the 67th move. "A big jump, it seems a bit risky, but the situation is not good, it's okay to rush. Cut off the white pieces in the middle from here, so that the white pieces in the middle are thinner." The old th Dan Qiu Weijie has extraordinary eyesight.

"Yes, after this move, the situation turned around a bit. Obviously, my opponent was a bit confused by this change, and he didn't seem to understand the subsequent developments. He played more conservatively, and in the end I won three-quarters of the game."

Qiu Weijie clicked the mouse here and there for a long time. "I can't tell whose move it is. It's a bit strange. But the player's mental quality seems to be a bit poor. He made several mediocre moves."

Gu Jie pushed his glasses and leaned back in his chair: "I was wondering who this orange was. I studied it over the past two days and I don't think he is any different. I think he looks more like an amateur chess player."

"Amateur chess player?" Qiu Weijie shook his head decisively. "Impossible, an amateur chess player can't have this kind of chess skills. Look at the previous set of moves he made. Apart from the 30-clip move which was a bit unexpected, his mastery of the set of moves is simply not something an amateur can achieve."

Gu Jie didn't quite agree with Qiu Weijie's judgment, but he was an old senior after all, so Gu Jie didn't talk back, but just kept refreshing the chess player information on the game program.

"Online!" Seeing Orange's avatar light up, Gu Jie became excited and immediately sent an invitation to a battle.
-
Just when the Orange model, which had refreshed its new abilities through the adversarial network, was about to beat the strongest chess player in history, Fang Yu lost the opportunity to show off and bully the weak player in the first place.

“开场的首发阵容：35号中锋秦端智、19号大前胡卫超、30号小前李冬冬、18号分卫赵元易、7号控卫林安。”

Qin Duanzhi, Hu Weichao, and Lin An were all originally on the school team. Lin An was originally the main point guard of the school team, and the other two were originally players of the third team.

These three people are not students with sports specialties, so they can play according to the rules of the competition.

After hearing this list, almost everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Yu.

Not to mention that Fang Yu completely defeated Li Haidong in the assessment match, just looking at the intensive training over the past two days, Fang Yu was clearly more than one step ahead of everyone else.

The main players of the school team have been practicing these past two days. As long as Fang Yu is on the court, even if the school team is composed of only the main players except Lin An, they basically have to keep restarting the ball.

You don't want to start a player who is a must-have for any school team? Are you crazy?
Moreover, if Fang Yu didn't play, there would be at least half fewer girls on the sidelines, and Lu Jiayan and Shen Shuyao wouldn't cheer for them to come on...

Li Dongdong was very surprised. He never thought that he could squeeze out Fang Yu and become the starting player.

"The above is the starting lineup, and the following are the substitutes: No. 17 Wang Shuo, No. 29 Luo Minzheng... No. 32 Fang Yu"

Seven names were called out, and Fang Yu was the last one called.

After Meng Guangkang finished reading, he closed the coaching manual with a snap and glanced coldly at the group of players in front of him.

When his eyes swept over Fang Yu, Meng Guangkang couldn't help but dodge when he saw Fang Yu's gaze.

Humph, you don't come to practice during normal times, but only come two days before the game. Are you allowed to play? Dream on!
If you can’t get past Old Man Bao, I won’t even let you make the big list!

The team is a whole. No matter how outstanding an individual is, he must obey the whole!
"The players whose names were just read are the roster for this afternoon. This is the first inter-school invitational match between National University and Jinan University. The school wants to continue this match as a tradition. I don't need to explain how important it is."

"Although the time was short, you have already gained the necessary familiarity. When you are on the court, you must strictly implement the pre-match tactics. On defense, focus on the opponent's guard Lin Dongyan and small forward Wu Pinrui. These two are their core players. We have previously conducted drills based on the characteristics of these two people. Follow the defensive methods in training and use zone defense."

"On offense, we use Lin An as the core and focus on height. The average height of our starting lineup is five centimeters taller than theirs, which is a huge height advantage. After Lin An gets the ball, he looks for opportunities to pass it inside. Qin Duanzhi and Hu Weichao are the tallest players on the court, so try to play with your back to the basket."

"Did you understand what I just said?"

"I understand!" The five starting players responded loudly, and Li Dongdong even puffed out his chest high.

Haha, the average height of the opponents is only 1.8 meters. Don't you think you are awesome, Fang? The cards I have in my hand are enough. I won't let you play if I say so.

"Does anyone else have any questions?" Meng Guangkang nodded proudly.

He has already asked the director of the Sports Department to take over the coaching rights for this game. The director of the Sports Department has already told him privately that after the CUBA season, Bao Yucheng will retire, and asked him to be prepared to take over.

But before taking over, you still have to achieve some results.

"Coach Meng." Liu Jiacheng, who was also only qualified as a substitute, suddenly raised his hand, "Zhao Yuanyi is better than me, I have no problem playing as a substitute, why don't you let Fang Yu start?"

Liu Jiacheng and Fang Yu did not know each other before taking the test to join the basketball team. Liu Jiacheng was a freshman in the School of Microelectronics, from Yuzhou. He scored 683 points with extra points. He was not tall, only meters, but had a hotter temper than many men from Qizhou.

Liu Jiacheng has been playing basketball since he was a child. Although his basic skills are relatively poor and his passing accuracy has always been a problem, overall he is considered strong among ordinary people.

Since the last assessment match, Liu Jiacheng has been completely impressed by Fang Yu's skills. The training over the past two days has made him feel that even if Fang Yu was put into the CBA, he would probably be able to play in the rotation.

No, maybe they can all be the main force.

Therefore, when Fang Yu heard that Meng Guangkang put Fang Yu as the last substitute, Fang Yu was not anxious yet, but Liu Jiacheng was the first to get anxious.

"Do you have any objections?" Meng Guangkang glanced at Liu Jiacheng, opened the coaching manual, and scribbled a few times on it, "Change the list of substitute players. No. 40 Sun Liansong will replace No. 36 Liu Jiacheng."

"Who else has any objections?" Meng Guangkang looked down upon the world with a face full of Tony Leung Ka Fai.

After all, Liu Jiacheng was just a freshman. He had never seen such a scene before and was a little dumbfounded on the spot.

"The team is a whole. Who can play and who can't play must obey the collective interests and collective arrangements. No player is indispensable. If they don't come to training and don't have attitude points, they naturally don't meet the requirements of starting."

"I'm a person who always takes things as an issue, not people. I always stick to principles and rules. See, every performance of yours is recorded here." Meng Guangkang patted his coaching manual. "The final roster of players will be based entirely on comprehensive scores. No matter how good other aspects are, if the attitude score is 0, it doesn't meet the standards for playing. Do you understand?"

After that, Meng Guangkang said with a condescending attitude: "Of course, if these players change their attitudes and try to integrate into the team, and their overall scores go up, I will definitely let them play according to their scores, regardless of whether they have a good relationship with me or not. I don't care about personal relationships here, I only care about scores."

"As for you saying that some players can't play, it means that they are not strong enough, or the team does not need such players to play for the time being. Every player should consider the overall situation. This is the duty of a player. If you don't have this awareness, you shouldn't join the school team at all!"

"Pfft~"

"Who is laughing?" Meng Guangkang became angry. He glanced around and saw Fang Yu sitting on a blue plastic chair at the sidelines with his legs crossed and a sneer on his face.

"The 12-man roster was reported to Jinda yesterday. The tournament clearly states that the roster cannot be changed after submission. How can you change it just like that? Who do you think you are? You still have the nerve to talk about following the rules? How can you say that when you're talking about the rules? The gas in the Coke you drank since you were a kid was from farting, right?"

Fang Yu shook his feet and started to spray.
