Lin Xi saw Lin Daiyu standing at the exit at a glance, and felt very complicated.

Seeing Wang Meihua also standing at the exit, Lin Xi held his breath, feeling very awkward, and forced a smile at her.

Wang Meihua said with concern:

"So, I heard... you only made four moves?"

Lin Xi's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that everyone knew that she had lost to Lin Daiyu, and she lost in just four moves.

Someone in the crowd watching the excitement saw Lin Xi coming out and chased after him and asked:

"Are you going to play against her on the same stage?"

Lin Xi's first reaction was that she felt offended, and she did not reply.

Then another person came over to ask:

"Yeah, why did you come out so early? Did you beat that woman to a pulp?"

The man who asked the question was afraid of He Shuirong, so he just pointed his chin slightly towards Daiyu.

For a moment, Lin Xi didn't quite understand:

If she were Lin Daiyu, she would definitely come in and make a big publicity.

Even Wang Meihua came over and said to her with concern:

"So, did she break the rules, or was she beaten badly by you?"

Lin Xi was even more confused. She looked around, but Lin Daiyu didn't look in her direction.

Wang Meihua's attitude towards him was obviously more enthusiastic than when she first came to the competition office. He wondered if Wang Meihua hadn't realized that she had lost the game?

Gaining Wang Meihua's trust and thus establishing a connection with the Wu family was Lin Xi's most important purpose in coming to Yuncheng. She planned not to tell Wang Meihua that she had lost the game, and only said lightly:

"She's quite lucky today."

Lin Xi's words were ambiguous. She didn't say that she lost the game, nor did she say that Daiyu lost the game. She pretended to be confident.

This attitude naturally made Wang Meihua think that she won the game.

Not long after, many contestants came out one after another.

Wu Changquan and Zhou Luqi also walked out one after the other, their backs straightened a lot.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her son, she saw that he was quite proud and thought that her son would not be able to defeat Wu Changquan.

She stepped forward and asked hesitantly:

"How's it going, son? Did you win?"

Mrs. Zhou was still very confident about Lin Daiyu and believed that her son could win the game, but she didn't dare to imagine Wu Changquan. However, Zhou Luqi was very happy to see it.

This made her believe that perhaps there was a miracle.

Zhou Luqi shook his head with a smile on his face.

"Lv Qi..."

Mrs. Zhou was already confused. Since her son didn't win the game, why did he look... quite happy?

How could she know that the game played by Zhou Luqi and Wu Changquan was finally real and tangible. Compared with the game played by Daiyu, he could be considered to have returned to the human world from the fantasy world and could finally breathe smoothly.

It's an honor to lose.

In the next few games, Wu Zifeng didn't bother to observe other players. He just stared at Daiyu and found that her chess moves were completely irregular.

I can't even name any of the steps.

The only things that remain unchanged are:

Daiyu always keeps the record at four moves, no more, no less. She happens to be stuck in the fourth round and will definitely take down the opponent's general!

It completely overturned Wu Zifeng's three views.

After a few games of chess.

The background score is refreshed in real time.

The award ceremony finally arrived. The top eight contestants received notices and needed to gather backstage as the organizer was about to hold an award ceremony.

Daiyu was not very interested in the award ceremony, but she was more concerned about the prize money.

Lin Xi also received the notice, but she only knew her total score in the competition, while her overall ranking was unknown.

At this moment, Lin Xi was struggling in her heart:

On the one hand, she naturally wanted to go on stage to receive the award. This was a provincial chess competition, and it was a rare opportunity to be able to go on stage to receive the award.

On the other hand, Lin Xi was afraid that if Lin Daiyu appeared on the podium, she was worried that Wang Meihua would have problems if she saw Lin Daiyu...

Lin Xi walked towards the bathroom in a daze, trying to calm herself down.

Coincidentally, I met Lin Daiyu on the way to the bathroom.

Daiyu discussed with He Shuirong:

"Teacher He, we are going to go back, right? Do you want to stay and watch the award ceremony?"

He Shuirong looked at her lovingly:

"It's all right. It depends on what you like."

Daiyu said:

"Then let's go back first."

I don’t know what’s so interesting about the award ceremony.

However, she first needs to ask the organizer whether the prize money can be transferred directly into her bank account.

……

Lin Xi was overjoyed:

It's impossible. Someone would give up going on stage to receive the award. Could it be that Lin Daiyu's total score is not high enough to rank?

The only thing she could confirm now was that both Zhou Luqi and herself had lost to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Xi knew very well in her heart that in a competitive activity like chess, there was a chance of winning by luck, but it was not high, especially when one had a four-move winning streak like Daiyu's.

But on the other hand, she also held a lucky mentality. What if this Lin Daiyu just relied on luck?

After struggling for a while...

Lin Xi walked to the backstage nervously, and found that Lin Daiyu didn't come, and the other contestants were already waiting backstage.

To be on the safe side, Lin Xi went back and forth and counted the number of players four times, and found that including himself, there were already eight people in the backstage.

This made her even more certain that Lin Daiyu's total score would not make it into the top eight.

The award ceremony is about to begin, the lights on the stage are bright and the seats below are full.

The host came on stage holding the microphone:

“Ladies and gentlemen, after several fierce games, our overall rankings are out.

Today, we have invited a special guest, he is a Chinese chess master, who has devoted his life to the cause of chess, not only promoting chess in China, but also promoting Chinese chess to the world..."

China's top chess master?

The audience knew that Grandmaster was the highest honor in Chinese chess, and the evaluation criteria were very strict:

Even Wu Zifeng, who is well-known in the industry, still has a huge gap with the grandmasters.

In the whole Yunnan Province, only Mr. Zheng is a grandmaster of chess.

However, Mr. Zheng has retired behind the scenes for many years, and even the staff of the Provincial Chess Association may not be able to see him.

Everyone was wondering if this grandmaster was from another province...

Just when everyone was guessing, an old man with gray hair and high spirits walked towards the stage.

"Who is this person?"

"Why haven't you seen him?"

……

In the VIP seats below the stage, Wu Zifeng also looked a little horrified:

Why is he here?

The audience was extremely restless, and the host revealed the answer to everyone at the right time:

“I believe everyone is very interested in our special guest, and many people are discussing his identity.

He is Mr. Zheng, who is famous in the chess world..."

Mr. Zheng?

Before the host finished speaking, the people in the audience were already going crazy. Mr. Zheng actually came.

Although Mr. Zheng has been famous over the years, he is too low-key and only a handful of people know him.

The host introduced at the right time:

"In this competition, Mr. Zheng has a close friend who is much older than him and also participated in our competition. Mr. Zheng took the trouble to come to our site in the hope of presenting the award to her."

"Next, please invite contestants 4-8 to come on stage to receive their awards!"
