Chapter 62: Chess Game (3)

Because of the Chess Cup, the chess has recently risen in Colorado.

This time, the Colorado Chess Cup Competition is offcially held, and then sponsored by many first-class domestic brands.

Not only will there be huge prize money, but if they win, the mayor of Kyoto will present the award in person.

You can also take a group photo with the mayor.

During the final match, there will be a national live broadcast.

If you win the game, you will have money and fame. You can also meet many bigwigs and create your own network.

That's why so many people signed up for the competition.

That's why Fang Wen also signed up.

Fang Wen thought that although he was a junior, he was better than other juniors.

Even the chess players who have been promoted to the second rank in the previous session may not be able to win themselves against him.

What's more, this ordinary person in front of him is not even a professional chess player.

That's he's looking down on Lee Minho, it's like he didn't pay attention to him at all.

Lee Minho played quite normal chess at the beginning, which made Fang Wen feel that he had some skills.

However, when it reached a dozen or so moves, Lee Minho suddenly made a bad move.

He directly placed a white chess piece in an inexplicable position.

Suddenly, Fang Wen sneered.

'I thought he had some skills, but I didn't expect that after a dozen moves, he couldnt stand it anymore, and made a bad move.'

Kang Taehyun, who was standing beside Lee Minho, also noticed it, and quickly bent down and whispered in Lee Minho's ear

"Young Master Lee, you made a wrong move just now."

Kang Taehyun was so anxious, wishing he could turn back time and play again the chess that Lee Minho played wrong just now.

Lee Minho didn't show panic at all, and said to Kang Taehyun.

"Calm down."

Calm down, how can you be so calm, if you make a wrorng move, you may lose everything.

But seeing that Lee Minho didn't seem to be worried at all, Kang Taehyun chose to believe in him.

The guests who were watching the live broadcast shook their heads and sighed when they saw Lee Minho made this bad move.

They all felt that Lee Minho was doomed this time.

<I thought you had some skills. It seems that it is nothing more than that.>

Fang Wen played the black chess in the middle of the white chess on both sides.

This step is broken, like a stroke of magic. It directly blocked the development of both sides of white.

Some chess players among the guests standing nearby shook their heads.

"This move is a good move, as expected of a professional chess player."

"I just said that this young man can't win. He is a professional chess player, how could he win."

"If the young man hadn't made a bad move just now, maybe he could have been saved."

"Come on, you have no regrets, this ending has already been decided."

Not only them, but even Kang Taehyun saw that the situation on the chess board seemed to be clear, and Lee Minho had no chance of turning the tables.

He couldn't help but looked at Lee Minho anxiously. In the end, he gritted his teeth, what's the big deal, he can afford to lose, and if it's a big deal, he apologizes in public.

It's just that Lee Minho was troubled by this incident.

If he hadn't brought Lee Minho here to eat, if he hadn't uttered nonsense when Lee Minho solved the three games, perhaps, Lee Minho wouldn't have been ashamed to follow him.

Kang Taehyun I really regretting everything.

Originally, Lee Minho was invited to dinner tonight because he wanted to get closer.

In the face of everyone's unfavorable opinion of him, Lee Minho still didn't show a trace of panic on his face, nor did he have a trace of unwillingness to lose.

He picked up another white piece. Fang Wen said with a smug smile,

"Give up, you're doomed to lose this game of chess."

"Don't be too overconfident or you might lose in the last moment."

Lee Minho picked up the white piece, and with a "snap", it landed on top of the previous bad move.

The sound of chess pieces falling on the board is crisp and clean.

Like a mirror that was originally covered in dust, all the dust was suddenly shaken away by this crisp sound revealing the original smooth and clear face of the mirror.

The smile on Fang Wen's face froze when he saw the white piece dropped by Lee Minho.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened, as if he saw something incredible.

He quickly picked up a black piece and landed beside the white piece, trying to trap the white piece.

However, when Lee Minho dropped the chess piece just now, the white chess piece had already changed from a trapped beast to a wild dragon breaking through the shackles.

The white chess not only broke through the black chess's attack, but alsoreversed, turning the dangerous chess piece into a solid cage.

Trapped the black chess firmly in the cage, no matter how much the black chess struggled, it was impossible to break through the solid cage.

In the end, black chess could only be trapped

in that cage.

Fang Wen clenched his fist with his left hand, and held a chess piece in his right hand, which did not land for a long time.

If you look carefully, you can also see his right hand holding the chess pieces trembling slightly.

After waiting for a while, finally, Fang Wen moved.

He put the black chess piece between his index finger and middle finger back into the basket.

Then he took out two black chess pieces from the chess basket and placed them on the board.

Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head, which was still high just now, towards Lee Minho.

"I lost."

There was an eerie silence in the restaurant.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

Only Lee Minho looked calm and composed from beginning to end.

After Fang Wen conceded, he slightly nodded towards Fang Wen, and said softly.

"I accept."

The surface is calm, but the heart his was panicking just now!

This is the first time for Lee Minho to play chess with others in real life, and a professional chess player at that.

It would be a lie to say that he's not nervous.

It's just that he has the master card as his confidence, thinking that he should be able to handle it at the beginning of his career.

So when playing chess, Lee Minho tried his best to calm himself down.

According to his usual habits, he began to set traps for his opponents.

He doesn't know whether Fang Wen was careless and was looking down on him, or the trap he set up was clever.

Not only was the other party unaware of his intentions, but he also followed his thoughts and fell into the trap.

In the end, the opponent didn't even have the strength to struggle.

In this game of chess, Lee Minho won the game, and it was a big Victory.

He won Fang Wen directly, and won in the middle game. A shocking reversal came.

This Fang Wen lost so badly.

At this moment, his whole body was trembling, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he was staring at the chess board intently.

His eyes were empty, as if his soul had been taken away by the chess board in front of him.

He lost, and a big one at that.

Obviously, he was still in the upper hand just now, and he was about to win.

As a result, he suddenly and inexplicably started to lose, and every move he made was transformed into a shackle that trapped his own like a cage.

The more bets, the faster he loses.

The opponent seems to know where his every move will be played.

He seenmed to see through his heart, his whole being.

Fang Wen even had an even more outrageous feeling that the other party seemed to be manipulating himself.

Manipulating himself, making that step by step, a self-binding chess.

That feeling of powerlessness makes people feel hopeless, and they don't even have the strength to struggle.

Fang Wen raised his head, his lips trembling slightly, and looked at Lee Minho sitting opposite him with fearful eyes.

His eyes were full of horror, as if he was looking at a very terrifying big devil.

{Lucky Value +1...}

{Congratulations to the host, for completing the task. A Super Rebate Card will be rewarded. The maximum rebate multiple of this rebate card is 3-300 times.}

{Attention, the rebate card is in a closed state. If the host wants to unblock the rebate card, please complete the mission.}

{The host needs to win 100 games of chess played by different people in a row to unlock the Super Rebate Card.}

{If the host loses 1 game during the task of the mission will fail. The Super Rebate Card will still be closed until the new mission is opened.}

{A warm reminder, the host has completed 32% of the task of winning against 100 people at this time. Please continue to work harder.}

'What the hell? I have opened a Super

Rebate Card, but I still need to complete

another task before I can use it?'

Lee Minho asked the system in his mind.

"System, have you learned to trick human beings? I got this Rebate Card by my own ability, why I still have to complete the another task to use it?"

{All the tasks are to make the host grow better and get closer to a 'rich man'.}

The system didn't think there was anything wrong with the task it released.

But Lee Minho retorted.

"But the rebate card I've gained, you can't even use it until you complete the task!"

{Hasn't the host noticed? The rebate card this time has an initial multiplier. That is to say, when the host uses the rebate card, the host can get at least 3-300 times the rebate. This is a 100% rebate card.}

He took a serious look at the rules of defeating a hundred people, and then his eyes lit up.

The rule of beheading a hundred people only requires him to play chess with 100 people, and he can complete the task by winning 100 people in a row.

But there is no rule, who should play with.

Very well, Lee Minho's eyes began to sharpen.

Fang Wen, who was sitting opposite him, thought he was angry when he saw his appearance.

Fang Wen suddenly remembered what they had agreed upon before playing chess.

The loser must publicly apologize to the winner.

Fang Wen thought that Lee Minho might feel that he was trying to play tricks, so he didn't apologize.

In fact, he was just too surprised. It's not that he forgot about it..

Fang Wen clenched his lower lip and stood up as pale as paper.

Then she bowed deeply at forty-five degrees to Lee Minho who was sitting opposite, and Kang Taehyun who was standing beside Lee Minho, and then shouted loudly.

"Im sorry, I apologize for what I said just now."

If you lose, you lose. If he loses, he won't play tricks.

Besides, playing tricks in front of a chess master like Lee Minho will only embarrass himself even more.
