Chapter 140: I will Invest in You

Same room, same location, same chess board and pieces.

This is the second time Lee Minho played chess with Han Seungwoo.

"Are you really playing chess with him?"

Although Park Doyun already knew that Han Seungwoo was here to play chess with Lee Minho.

But when he actually saw the two of them preparing to play chess, he still felt that Lee Minho was a little too confident.

Although Han Seungwoo told him that Lee Minho's chess skills were very high, Park Doyun never believed in it.

After all, even other seniors in the chess world cannot beat Han Seungwoo, so how Lee Minho can?

"Of course."

Lee Minho laughed. He knew that Park Doyun might not believe that he could win against Han Seungwoo.

If he hadn't played chess with Han Seungwoo before, he wouldn't have believed it himself.

Well, looking at Lee Minho's posture, this game of chess must be played.

"Brother, wait a minute and remember to be merciful."

Park Doyun patted Han Seungwoo's shoulder, speaking earnestly. If Han Seungwoo didn't show mercy, this son-in-law might be gone.

At that time, Park Doyun was afraid that Han Seungwoo would regret it.

'Show mercy?'

Han Seungwoo glanced at Park Doyun.

'He should have said this to Lee Minho.'

However, in the chess game with Lee Minho, Han Seungwoo hoped that both himself and Lee Minho could go all out.

Therefore, he ignored Park Doyun, but said to Lee Minho.

"I hope you can go all out, I want to see how far the distance between us is."

"Okay."

This was what Lee Minho wanted to know.

The game between the two is very formal as Han Seungwoo went first.

'It's over.'

Park Doyun slapped his forehead.

'Lee Minho would definitely be tortured later.'

Park Doyun couldn't bear to continue watching.

However, things were beyond his expectation.

The chess game between the two was not as he had imagined as one-sided.

On the contrary, at the beginning, it showed a state of even strength.

No, black is starting to be at a disadvantage.

From the beginning of thirty moves, Lee Minho clearly felt the change in Han Seungwoo's chess style.

His chess is deeper and more domineering than before.

Every move of chess has sharp thorns, as long as Lee Minho reveals the slightest flaw, he will be stabbed severely immediately.

But during this time, although Lee Minho spent less time playing chess than before. He has completely integrated the Master Card.

Therefore, his chess power multiplied at a terrifying speed.

A lot of knowledge came, after the card being fully integrated to him. It has almost became Lee Minho's instinct.

For example, just now when Han Seungwoo made a move, Lee Minho's mind immediately showed the five moves he would make next.

Immediately afterwards, Lee Minho would immediately make an advance move, directly blocking Han Seungwoo's way.

This ability is terrifying. This made Lee Minho seem to have the ability to predict the future.

Han Seungwoo on the opposite side lowered his brows more tightly.

And the lower it became, the more frightened he is, because he also felt the change in himself.

'It's terrible, it feels like I've become another person.'

And that person is a chess master with extremely high chess strength.

The chess games he played were both unfamiliar and familiar.

Park Doyun's expression on the side from the beginning was that he hated Han Seungwoo.

However, the expression on his face gradually became serious and dignified.

Immediately afterwards, the eyes became wider and wider, and the mouth opened wider and wider.

Snap!

When the white chess piece fell, the black chess was defeated in an instant.

Han Seungwoo clenched the chess piece in his right hand, and after two seconds of frowning, he took another chess piece from the chess basket and placed the two chess pieces in his hand on a corner of the chess board.

"I lost."

"Uh...He lost."

To be honest, Lee Minho himself hadn't reacted yet.

He didn't expect that he would win directly in the middle of the game.

"And he won, he actually won. I must be dreaming."

Park Doyun pinched his thigh, causing him to gasp in pain.

'Oh my goodness, Lee Minho actually beat Seungwoo.'

And it was win in the middle game at that, it was like a dream.

Park Doyun is also a professional chess player International Master Level, so he can clearly feel how strong Lee Minho's chess skills are.

If Han Seungwoo is the peak, then Lee Minho is the sky on the peak.

Lee Minho's chess strength is obviously one level higher than Han Seungwoo's.

Park Doyun looked at Lee Minho's handsome face in disbelief.

'How could it be. How could this person's chess skills be so strong?'

He had never seen anyone whose chess ability could reach Lee Minho's level.

"You have improved compared to last time."

Lee Minho said to Han Seungwoo.

Han Seungwoo then stared deeply at Lee Minho.

"You too. Your chess strength is not at the same level as last time."

Lee Minho's chess was also very strong before, but Han Seungwoo still felt that he was similar to him.

But this time, the chess of the two is obviously not at the same level.

If Lee Minho was a general before, then he is now a king.

'It's too strong. In just ten days, Lee Minho's chess strength has improved so much.'

'No, not improvement.'

Han Seungwoo's eyes fell on Lee Minho's right hand.

'It was not improvement, but recovery. He began to regain his previous strength.'

Like a god, he was able to see through the thoughts in his mind and calculate his next moves in advance.

Therefore, every step falls on the most critical point.

Not one step more, one step less.

In front of Lee Minho, he was like a marionette.

Every move of his chess seems to be controlled by Lee Minho.

For a person with weak willpower, he would probably have already collapsed.

"What's the use of becoming stronger."

Lee Minho talked.

"Someone told me that if I don't have the heart for chess, my chess can only stay here forever."

"Chess heart?"

Han Seungwoo raised his eyebrows.

"That's right."

Lee Minho with a wryly smile.

"I'm different from you. I can't love chess like you do. That's why my chess can't be like you that is firm."

"The one who won is you."

"But I only won because my chess strength is higher than yours. Once your chess strength is the same as mine, I will never win."

Just like the old man, it is clear that both of them have almost the same chess skills. But Lee Minho just couldn't beat him.

That kind of mood is actually quite hopeless.

Looking at the distressed Lee Minho, Han Seungwoo pursed his lips.

"Do you like chess?"

Lee Minho thought for a while then answered.

"Maybe I didn't like it at first, but I started to like it later. But it's just a kind of liking as a hobby. I didn't take chess as a kind of belief like you."

"Wether wins or loses, black or white. There are not so many reasons. Whether you like chess or not, as long as you are still playing, you have chess in your heart."

Han Seungwoo's words immediately enlightened Lee Minho up.

'As long as you are playing chess, you have chess in your heart.'

'Now that you have chess in your heart, how can you not have a chess heart?'

'That's right, the so-called chess heart is just a vague concept.'

Maybe he can't love chess as much as Han Seungwoo and the others, maybe the chess he plays is just because of the fusion of master cards, not his own chess.

But as long as he keeps playing chess, one day he will have his own chess. He can also play firm chess like Han Seungwoo.

Park Doyun on the side couldn't listen anymore.

"Lee Minho, you won this game, right? It seems like you lost."

He then started to blab nonstop.

"Let me tell you, the person who told you about chess heart, is trying to mess with your mentality?"

"What does it mean to love chess without us? Is it because the more you love chess, the higher your chess strength will become?"

"But just now you won against Seungwoo. This proves that no matter how much you love chess, it's bullshit."

This made Lee Minho can't help but laugh.

"You're right."

It doesn't seem to matter whether you love it or not, and it doesn't seem to matter what you play chess for.

It is even more unimportant whether the chess he plays is pure or not.

What matters is whether he continues to play chess in the future.

"Is your club still short of people?"

Lee Minho asked.

"How could there be no shortage. The main players are gone."

Park Doyun said with a depressed face.

Lee Minho then said.

"Then what do you guys think of me?"

Han Seungwoo and Park Doyun were stunned at the same time.

Han Seungwoo asked immediately.

"What do you mean?"

Lee Minho narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Aren't you short of people? The main players is gone, how about I go to be that main player for you?"

Park Doyun swallowed.

"But you are not a professional chess player, so you can't participate in the competition."

"Now there are still five days until the registration deadline for the fixed-stage competition."

"The Second Division League is after the fixed-stage competition. As long as win, I can participate in the Second Division competition."

"You don't have to do this for us."

Han Seungwoo thought that Lee Minho wanted to participate in the scheduled competition because he wanted to help them.

As Lee Minho said just now, he doesn't love chess that much, and that's why he hasn't set a stage.

Park Doyun reacted, and echoed.

"Yes, with your chess strength, it doesn't matter whether you decide or not. You don't need to waste your time for us."

Chess prowess has reached Lee Minho's level, and the number of people who can play chess with him can be counted in one slap in the whole world.

Scheduled races are really irrelevant.

Now that Lee Minho actually went to participate in the scheduled match for them, just because their club lacked people.

This made Park Doyun really moved!

Speaking of the shortage of people in the club, Han Seungwoo is also responsible for it.

It's fine if he doesn't want to teach the chess players in the club, and occasionally plays with the players in the club from time to time.

In terms of strength, they were completely crushed.

Those chess players were abused to doubt their lives with their mentality collapsed.

It is precisely because of this reason that even though many chess players admire Han Seungwoo, they are unwilling to join their club.

"It doesn't matter."

Anyway, after participating in the Colorado Chess Cup Competition, the next scheduled competition will start.

This will not waste Lee Minho's time.

Moreover, he also wanted to see the world where Han Seungwoo was.

Park Doyun rubbed his nose embarrassingly.

"But our club has no funds to operate, and we can hardly even pay the salaries of our chess players."

"I'll invest 10 million for you, is that enough?"

Park Doyun asked with a smile.

"Huh?"

"You..."

Park Doyun in surprised and Han Seungwoo in disbelief.

Han Seungwoo just wanted to speak, but Lee Minho continued.

"No, there are not many people in the club now. If there are more people in the future, 10 million is not enough."

"Then I will invest 20 million for you. This money is for the first phase of investment. If it is not enough in the future, I can add more."

Park Doyun was a little dumbfounded.

'Are the second generations in Kyoto so proud?'

That's 20 million, Lee Minho's casual tone seemed like it was two thousand.
