Chapter 680: Inheritance of the Way of Chess

Even so, it's too late to regret it.

Meng Huo tried to contact Director Muto and wanted to return the chessboard to him, but the answer he got was that the gift he gave was not taken back.

"That's just an ordinary chessboard, and it has no special meaning. Teacher He Xi doesn't have to mind. Just use it to learn Go with peace of mind!" He said this, and then completely refused to take back the chessboard.

Rest assured, feel comfortable - Others may be able to use this kind of thing safely, but Meng Huo always feels uncomfortable with keeping it by his side. He even wants to directly call a courier to send the board back, but he always feels worried about giving such expensive things to others.

"I'll return it next time I go to Tokyo."

Meng Huo thought for a while, and then Chen Jie, who was fiddling with chess pieces in the office, said that he would feel more at ease to send the chessboard back by himself.

"Okay, let's play before this!" Chen Jie's eyes lit up. Such a good chessboard was around her. If she didn't use it, she always felt itchy when she wasn't there. Moreover, Meng Huo and she had never played any similar games, which was also Chen Jie's regret.

She had been looking for something that Meng Huo liked and could participate in by herself since a long time ago. Seeing this chessboard, Chen Jie felt as if she had found it.

"Do you know how to play chess?" she asked Meng Huo excitedly.

"Hungry... I haven't played it." Meng Huo shook his head. He had never learned Go regularly, but the rules of Go are very simple, and he had heard of it. However, it is unlikely that Chen Jie would like to discuss with him. He has a lot of work back today.

After talking about work to Chen Jie, Chen Jie's face showed regret, but then her eyes lit up again.

"It's OK tonight!"

Meng Huo nodded. He has time tonight.

"Then let's go to your apartment tonight and let you see how good I am." Chen Jie stood up excitedly. She originally had to rehearse at night, but now she decided to go to the office to change the time.

Before she left, Meng Huo suddenly thought of something and said to her: "Call Han Xuan and the others by the way!"

He still remembers that Han Xuan's invitation before leaving Su Hua, and if he wanted to play games at night, it would be better to call those young people together. Meng Huo is also a new scholar of Go, so it should be more fun to play together.

Chen Jie pondered slightly, and then agreed. In fact, she wanted to call Alice, but Alice seemed to deliberately give Meng Huo time to her, and she probably wouldn't come here today.

In the evening, after Meng Huo got off work, Chen Jie brought a few friends over. They walked into Meng Huo's apartment and were stunned by the luxury of the apartment. Liu Yi even murmured to himself: "This place is even more luxurious than the presidential suite in the hotel..."

"You just treat this place as a hotel." Meng Huo laughed. Then he looked at the other three cautious girls and said, "Okay. Come in and sit down. This place is just a loan to the apartment I live in. Don't care too much."

The apartment was provided to Meng Huo by the company, but it was not an exaggeration to say that it was his own. However, after he said this, the teenagers were not so restrained. Liu Yun was the most outgoing. After sitting down and chatting for a few minutes, the girl immediately stopped being nervous and clamored to play chess.

"Hmph... I heard from Chen Jie. Teacher He Xi, you are also a beginner, right? Let me abuse you!" She didn't care about Meng Huo's identity at all, and spoke to abuse Meng Huo.

"Have you learned to play chess?" Meng Huo was curious and looked at the other three: "Where are you?"

The three of them immediately shook their heads, which meant that they had never learned to play chess, and Liu Yun's experience of learning chess was interesting. She was Chen Jie's childhood sweetheart. When she was a child, she often challenged Chen Jie in all aspects and naturally had an understanding of Go.

Two out of the six people can play chess, so it is not troublesome to popularize science.

Meng Huo took out the chess and reminded him in particular: "I borrowed this chess from someone else. It's very expensive, don't break it."

Go is difficult to break. Chess pieces are smooth jade, and the chessboard is also a good wood with a long history. As long as you don’t hold a knife, you usually don’t get any traces. However, it is too precious, and Meng Huo couldn’t help but remind him.

He also specifically observed the fingers of these friends. His nails were cut very well and he should not rub against the chessboard. Seeing Meng Huo's solemn expression, Liu Yun and the others naturally did not dare to do anything randomly.

The first game was Liu Yun and Meng Huo, and Chen Jie explained it. This game was for learning, and the purpose was to allow Meng Huo and others to learn the basics. However, after only ten minutes, Meng Huo was defeated and was eaten by Liu Yun's white selves...

"I think this should be enough, let's end this game!"

Meng Huo stopped, he had already figured out the general method, and Liu Yi and the others also understood the rules.

"Hahaha, Meng Huo, you will lose too!" Liu Yun laughed, but felt a little guilty. At first, Meng Huo could not do anything at all, and was simply tortured her casually, but the way of walking in the latter part gradually became more and more experienced. If she continued, the situation would likely turn around.

Liu Yun is not a powerful chess player, but she can play against Chen Jie, who has won the championship, so her strength cannot be underestimated.

"The speed of progress is not as fast as a beginner. Meng Huo is indeed a monster..." Liu Yun thought so, and then refused to go to Meng Huo again, and finally defeated the cartoonist He Xi. Maybe he could go out to show off a few times in the future, so how could he get the scene back.

However, Meng Huo didn't seem to mind. The time afterwards was the time for several novices to play chess. The time required to play Go was longer than Meng Huo expected. Most of the time for beginners to play chess without thinking, but the average game took twenty minutes.

If you are familiar with the rules and start playing chess, this time will be further improved.

All night, Liu Yi and the others only played about two or three games. Meng Huo later played one game with Liu Yi, while Chen Jie never played the whole time. Everyone accompanied her, and more importantly, there was no time.

I played until eleven o'clock in the evening, and Meng Huo sent them away with some regret.

"I didn't expect this thing to take so much time." He apologized: "When the carnival, I'll find other things for you to come and play!"

"No, no, it's quite interesting!" Han Xuan and the others waved their hands quickly. Although there were few opportunities to play, Go was very fun, especially the feeling of so many people getting together was particularly lively, which made the four of them feel a little unsatisfied.

"I think I can play this next time." Liu Yi said.

Li Yu said excitedly: "Go is so handsome. I want to buy a pair after I go back."

"Then buy it. You all play to see who can learn faster." Chen Jie raised her brows: "I'll buy it for you. Each of them will practice well when they go back to see who can challenge me in the future!"

She seemed a little regretful that no one could challenge her tonight.

"Okay!" Liu Yun immediately clapped her hands and agreed. She turned to look at the other three, and the three of them agreed with interest.

This surprised Meng Huo. After seeing off the four people, he looked at Chen Jie who was staying in the apartment: "Challenge you? Do you have so much expectations for them?" Chen Jie shook her head, and then smiled and said, "I just think it's very good. There is something that's good to play... Don't you think Go is particularly elegant?"

Meng Huo shook his head.

"But playing Go can calm your mood, this is a good thing." She looked at Meng Huo with her eyes shining: "And I think it is especially suitable for you. You look so handsome when playing chess... And you are so busy that it's good to have such a thing."

"So you are looking for a companion for me?" Meng Huo smiled bitterly: "Do you think their progress can keep up with me?"

After watching it all night, he found that his learning speed was very different from those of the three friends. With an unequal learning ability, Go was not a good thing to strengthen their connections. Meng Huo felt that he could choose another recreation.

But Chen Jie doesn't think so. Go is just a tool, and it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. As long as it's interesting, it's fine. Besides, there's her. She wants Meng Huo to continue playing chess and play chess with him, which must be a great thing.

"Menghuo, you can consider drawing Go comics." Chen Jie sat down in front of the chessboard. She clamped a piece with her index and middle fingers, and looked at Menghuo: "Come on, I'll tell you the fun of it."

During tonight's chess, Chen Jie kept watching from the side. She could see that Meng Huo had a very high comprehension.

Moreover, when explaining, Chen Jie deliberately said some difficult tricks, and even Liu Yun did not respond, but Meng Huo seemed to understand. If he had guessed correctly, Chen Jie felt that Meng Huo's current chess thinking had surpassed Liu Yun.

Of course, this is just thinking ability. His practical experience is almost zero. Without actual combat, no matter how good the thinking is, it is empty. Many practical combats contain the essence of chess players in countless historical history. Only through actual combat can chess skills grow.

However, Chen Jie felt that Meng Huo now has the ability to experience the fun of chess. Liu Yi and the others felt that it was just the curiosity of beginners about their newly learned skills and their appearances such as chessboards and chess pieces, rather than really liking to chess.

To fall in love with Go, you must first know the thinking of Go and the fun of playing games. Meng Huo is very smart. It is precisely because of his cleverness that he can see the truly interesting place of Go faster than ordinary people - and Chen Jie wants to take Meng Huo to this place.

She sat opposite Meng Huo, guiding him like a teacher. Looking at Meng Huo's face as he was holding a chess piece, Chen Jie suddenly understood why the chess players had to be obsessed with maintaining a traditional master-apprentice relationship in the past. Perhaps this kind of inheritance teaching itself is a kind of chess culture.

The Chinese Go Association gave Meng Huo a precious chess board, perhaps hoping that he could be passed on by it and get closer to their thought world. Wanting comics is more useful than verbally tempting Meng Huo likes Go.

"They have to thank me..."
