Chapter 64: Chess Game (5)

In the professional Chess Group.

Ever since they learned that Kang Jihan was defeated by an online, everyone was quite interested in that online chess player.

There were several people who wanted to test that person's chess skills, and when they saw the Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves online, they sent out a game invitation to that person.

These professional chess players have quite high ranks on PawnPlay.com so when Lee Minho saw so many game invitations, he completely excluded them.

He is going to complete the task of winning against a hundred people. So he needs to start with low-level people to play chess.

Playing against the masters is fun.

But at this time, Lee Minho was not interested in playing chess with those masters in order to complete the task.

In case he meet someone who is stronger than him, and win. Then his mission will fail.

Therefore, Lee Minho ignored the game invitations sent by those high-ranking people.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Those professional chess players originally won two consecutive games against Kang Jihan because of the Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves, so they were very interested in him.

But seeing the Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves didn't accept their invitation to the game, and instead went to play chess with those low-level players.

Immediately, those professional chess players became a little angry.

Then there was a lot of discussion in the group.

<When I saw Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves. was afraid. He able to win against Duan Hongjie and Kang Jihan, probably because of their carelessness.>

<No, this Autumn Winds is quite capable. Did you see the game of chess with that 2nd tier player just now? It only took him ten minutes to end battle.>

In PawnPlay.com ranks now are determined to 1st tier as the lowest to 9th tier as the highest which is equivalent to a Grandmaster in real rankings.

Lee Minho account in PawnPlay.com was named as 'Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves' and currently in 6th tier.

<What's the matter, those ranks on PawnPlay.com are all false. A 2nd tier may be an amateur player. There is nothing to proud of if you can beat them.>

<Forget it, let's all go away. Maybe because he saw our high rank, that's why was afraid. Don't dare to play with us.>

<Next week is the Chess Cup Competition, everyone should prepare well during this period.>

<Yes, let's prepare for Chess Cup well, this is the most important thing.>

Kang Jihan was also in the group, so of course he also saw the messages sent by these people.

Seeing those people belittle the Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves, Kang Jihan was very angry.

They despise the Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves, which is tantamount to despising him.

He has a Master Level chess career, and in 7th tier in PawnPlay.com, no matter how careless he is. He will not lose to a person who has no strength.

The Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves is really strong.

But Kang Jihan seldom speaks in the group. Nor is he the type to argue with others.

So, after watching it, although he was angry, he ignored those people.

Instead, he concentrated on watching the game between Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves and the others.

PawnPlay.com is online website that's why you can expectate the games of players.

Although he didn't know why Autumn Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves only played chess with those low-ranked people.

But by watching these chess games, Kang Jihan also has a certain understanding why.

In order to be able to fight and complete the task as soon as possible, Lee Minho played chess until 12:30 in the evening.

If the system hadn't strongly urged him to go to bed and sleep, Lee Minho would have been in playing until dawn.

Waking up early the next morning, Lee Minho continued the task of beheading a hundred people.

As for the learning task, it is better to postpone it. And take it after completing the task of beheading a hundred people.

In front of that Super Rebate Card, this learning task doesn't seem to be so fragrant.

After Kang Jihan watched a few games of chess in which the Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves has played, his desire to play against it became more enthusiastic.

He found out that after the Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves didn't want to play against high-ranking people, so he called Kang Taehyun early the next morning.

Kang Taehyun was in the group with Choi Jaywon last night, chatting about his goddess and Lee Minho until midnight.

He originally planned to sleep late in the morning, but was woken up by the phone.

Kang Taehyun picked up the mobile phone next to the bed and looked, it turned out to be his cousin Kang Jihan's call.

Suddenly there was a jolt, and all the sleepy bugs were scared away.

Kang Taehyun quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Brother Jihan, good morning."

Kang Jihan heard Kang Taehyun's hoarse voice, raised his eyebrows and said.

-"It's already nine o'clock, and you haven't woken up yet?"

Kang Taehyun smiled wryly and said.

"I slept late last night, brother Jihan, anyway so why did you call?"

To be honest, in this family, apart from his old man and the current head of the Kang family, Kang Taehyun is most afraid of this cousin.

This cousin is only 28 years old, a great youth.

But he keeps a straight face all day long, like an old man in his sixties or seventies.

Every time he saw Kang Taehyun, he was either preaching on the way around.

Therefore, young people like Kang Taehyun really can't talk to his cousin Kang Jihan.

And this cousin contacted him at ordinary times, and now he suddenly called him early in the morning, Kang Taehyun felt a little uneasy.

-"Going to bed late and waking up late is bad for your health, don't you know?"

Kang Jihan began to preach habitually, but suddenly remembered that he had other things to do, so he stopped preaching immediately.

-"I remember you also have an account on PawnPlay.com, right?"

Kang Taehyun was already ready to be lectured early in the morning. Why did it stop suddenly? Moreover, asked a strange question inexplicably.

This made Kang Taehyun feel very strange.

He said cautiously. "I have an account on PawnPlay.com. Brother Jihan, why are you asking this?"

Kang Jihan asked without answering.

-"How rank are you?"

Kang Taehyun thought for a while.

"It seems to be at 3rd tier."

-"Send me your account number and password, I'll borrow it. Also, it's past nine o'clock, get up and have breakfast, do you hear me?"

Before Kang Jihan hung up the phone, he held back the old mother's advice.

Kang Taehyun quickly agreed, and then sent the account number and password.

After sending out, he sat on the bed and rubbed his head, feeling a little puzzled.

Strange, Kang Jihan asked him early in the morning what he was doing with the account number and password of PawnPlay.com?

'Could it be that he is going to give him a rank?' Kang Taehyun thought.

Impossible, this is not something Zhang Jiatai would do.

Moreover, once you lose the rank you brushed on PawnPlay.com, your rank will still drop.

This matter is completely meaningless.

'Forget it, don't think about it, let's get up, brush our teeth and have breakfast.' Kang Taehyun concluded.

In case when Kang Jihan came to check the guard suddenly and saw that he was still sleeping.

That was another round of preaching and education. So he went up to bed and prepare for the day.

Kang Jihan on the other side immediately logged into Kang Taehyun's account after getting the account number and password.

He then sent a game invitation to Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves.

Originally, Lee Minho planned to go out and find someone to play chess. He remembered that there were many people in many newly opened chess halls outside.

There are many novices who just learned chess in those chess halls, and it is 100% possible to go to those novices to complete the task.

But thinking about it later, it was a little inappropriate and what if someone recognized him? Then there will be another headache to deal with.

It's better to find someone to play chess online, anyway, no one knows who he is across the screen.

Seeing another 3rd tier player in the message named, "I am the Boss" sent him an invitation to the game.

Lee Minho agreed immediately without thinking about it.

Kang Jihan originally just wanted to try, change to a low-level account, and see if Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves would agree to the game invitation.

Unexpectedly, it was successful.

Kang Jihan couldn't help but rubbed his hands, looking at the computer screen with a serious and cautious face.

Here we go.

In this round, Lee Minho is playing white and the opponent is playing black.

At first, Lee Minho didn't notice anything.

But when the opponent made more than a dozen move. Lee Minho realized something was wrong.

"The other party's habit of making moves is somewhat familiar! Seems like I've seen it somewhere before."

'Could it be that he played chess with him before?' He thought.

Lee Minho looked at his previous battle table, and he didn't have this "I am the Boss", so he was relieved..

It should be an illusion, maybe it's just the habit of this person, which is similar to someone he had played with before.

However, as more and more chess pieces were played, Lee Minho's eyebrows became more and more wrinkled.

Because this "I am the Boss" is very strong in chess, the 3rd tier is not half of this person's chess ability.

The chess style is also becoming more and more familiar.

Could it be that he met an acquaintance who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger?

Lee Minho checked the time, it was already half an hour.

In the past, when playing chess with a person of tier 3, the battle ended in 20 minutes at most.

Therefore, Lee Minho stepped up his offensive and began to lead the opponent into the trap he had set up step by step.

After 15 minutes, the opponent surrendered.

"Whew."

Lee Minho breathed a sigh of relief, and finally finished playing.

This time, in order to end the battle quickly, Lee Minho had to use all his strength from behind.

In the end, it took ten minutes to solve the opponent.

It's just that this person's chess style and strength are really similar to a person named "Top of Mount Tai" he played before.

Lee Minho waited, but the familiar system prompt did not sound.

Looking at the completion of the task of killing hundreds of people, it has not increased.

There was an answer in my heart immediately.

This person must be the Top of Mount Tai.

This guy, since he defeated him, has been persistently sending him invitations to the game.

He ignored it, unexpectedly, now he changed to a low-level account and came to play chess with him.

If there is no task of beheading a hundred people, maybe Lee Minho is still interested in fighting with him again.

After all, this person is very powerful.

But now he has a task of beheading a hundred people, let's wait for him to complete the task of the game.

Just in case, meet someone you know again.

So Lee Minho decided to ignore those who sent invitations to the game, and went directly to find an opponent.

This is safer and less chance of meeting acquaintances.
