Not long after, the chess records of Wang Shaotong's just-played game were quickly circulated from Qingfeng Wine.
When the people outside saw that Wang Shaotong killed his opponent with no more than fifteen moves every time, the crowd was unsurprisingly shocked again.
So when Wang Shaotong walked out of Qingfeng Restaurant holding the jade medal for passing the 'Resurrection Tournament', people outside surrounded him like crazy.
"Master Wang, please accept me as your disciple. I want to learn chess from you!"
"Young brothers, we want to be rich and noble, so don't forget each other!"
"'Wang Kuai Dao', you are so good at chess and your level has improved so quickly. Do you have any experience? Can you tell us about it?"
"..."
Wang Shaotong looked at the scene outside. He was completely confused at the time. He had never seen such a scene before, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Finally, a few old friends who used to hang out with him crowded around him and helped him. Only then did Wang Shaotong get out of the crowd.
After coming out, Wang Shaotong asked in shock: "I'm going, what's going on? Why are so many people blocking me?"
Friends around me said excitedly: "Don't you know it yet? You are so popular and you have become a complete celebrity!"
"What?"
"The record of the game you just played in the restaurant has been circulated. After everyone saw that you killed your opponent with no more than fifteen moves in each game, you don't know who shouted first. Now everyone calls you '
Kuai Dao Wang Shaotong'."
"What else is happening?!"
Wang Shaotong became even more shocked after hearing this.
But despite being surprised, an inexplicable feeling of usefulness arose in his heart.
Damn it, is this what it feels like to be a celebrity?!
…
He was not the only one. In the resurrection match that afternoon, several more powerful chess players appeared one after another. Their abilities were not bad, and they quickly stood out from the many games.
But the most eye-catching one is a woman.
"There's a girl in this match?!"
"Zhou Fang? Could this be the widow 'Zhou Fang' I know?"
"Can women also participate in competitions?!"
When everyone heard the news in the restaurant that a woman named "Zhou Fang" was qualified for "resurrection", everyone outside was shocked.
And then, this 'Zhou Fang' came out.
I saw that Zhou Fang was not outstanding in appearance. She was about 27 or 27 years old. She was dressed as a daughter-in-law, with her hair tied up. She was of medium appearance. She was also dressed very simply. Her clothes were even patched, but she was very clean and completely
She is just an ordinary woman from a farmer's family.
But it was such a woman who stood out from the many chess players in the resurrection tournament and got the very precious 'resurrection' spot, which made the people around her jaw drop for a moment.
After Zhou Fang appeared, she saw so many people outside staring at her. She obviously felt very uncomfortable. She looked nervous and embarrassed. Then she lowered her head and walked through the crowd, trying to leave the scene in a hurry.
But at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Zhou Fang, good job, well done!"
"Sister-in-law Zhou, you are my little tiger. I am here to support you. You are really good at chess. Please teach me when you get back!"
"Everyone Zhou, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to stay, but I would like to treat you to a meal. Oh, don't get me wrong, I just want to ask you for advice on chess..."
Seeing the attitude of the people around her, Zhou Fang was stunned at first, but then her eyes turned red.
She originally thought that being a woman and a widow, participating in the 'Chess King Tournament' would make people laugh, but she didn't expect that everyone would have this attitude now, which made her deeply moved and inexplicable for a moment...
In the restaurant, Su Ping'an was also reading information about 'Zhou Fang'. In addition to the latter's game records, there was also some life information.
This Zhou Fang is a sister-in-law from the next street. She is just a woman from an ordinary family. Her husband passed away due to illness in her early years, leaving her alone with a pair of five or six-year-old children to depend on each other. She usually relies on others.
Living by mending, patching, and washing clothes, life can be described as very difficult.
Until the emergence of chess a few days ago, she just saw that chess was popular and easy to play, so she polished one with stones and used it as a toy for the children.
Occasionally when she was free, she would tease her children and play a few moves herself. But after playing, she gradually discovered that chess was very simple and interesting, so she fell in love with chess.
So in the days that followed, she began to pay close attention to things related to chess. When she saw others playing chess, she would secretly hide behind the crowd to watch. After she was done, she would go back and review the game herself, pondering the chess moves. Over time, her
My chess skills improved unconsciously.
Then came the 'Chess King Tournament'. Zhou Fang originally didn't want to participate, but her child was sick a few days ago. She raised money everywhere to treat the child, but she couldn't afford to pay back the money she borrowed, so this was the right time.
She saw various 'chess' competitions taking place all over Dongping Street, with huge prizes.
In order to pay back the money as soon as possible, she wanted to try gambling, but she didn't expect that the shopkeepers and bosses of those shops, seeing that she was a woman or a widow, refused to let her participate.
She had hoped, but she didn't expect that when it was Qingfeng Restaurant's turn, she actually agreed to participate.
It's just a pity that she was too nervous in the first round and met a strong opponent, so she lost. She thought she had no chance. Who would have thought that there would be a 'revival match', which made Zhou Fang watch again.
When she reached hope, she also realized that this was her last chance, so she had to win.
Under such pressure, Zhou Fang could no longer care about her nervousness. As she devoted herself to it, her strength gradually began to show. Eventually, she met and killed her enemies. She passed through all the enemies and finally won the place in the 'Resurrection Tournament'...
"It's really hard for Zhou Fang. How about I help her with money?"
After reading the information about ‘Zhou Fang’, Liu Qingxi felt the same for Zhou Fang for the first time. She felt a sense of sympathy for Zhou Fang, and her kindness began to overflow.
After hearing this, Su Ping'an shook his head and said with a smile: "I know how much you want to help her, but don't you think it would be better if she could change her current life with her own abilities?
!”
"On her own merits? You mean 'chess'?" Liu Qingxi said in surprise.
"That's right, this 'Zhou Fang' comes from a peasant family. Her life experience is quite miserable, and her experience is quite inspiring. Moreover, she is also very good at chess. Although it is a bit laborious to get the first place, there is still no problem in entering the top eight. If
With luck, she might even make it into the top four. As long as we promote her a little, she will soon become a representative figure among the general public. At the same time, this will also make everyone in Daming Mansion realize the importance of chess.
