Chapter 156: "I'm Sorry"

Lee Minho didn't see it because he was focused on Bao Zhab. Bai Yan, whom he had been meeting in the game before, also came.

He sitting right behind him and heard the conversation between him and Bao Zhan clearly.

After hearing Bao Zhan actually say that Lee Minho beat Fang Wen in chess because he bought Fang Wen with money.

Bai Yan almost didn't laugh out loud.

'Lee Minho still needs to use money to buy chess players to win chess?'

This is simply the funniest joke Bai Yan has heard this year.

But Bai Yan didn't make a sound to remind Bao Zhan.

After all, at the beginning, he always thought that Lee Minho, who looked like a rich second-generation, must be just playing for fun when he came to participate in the competition.

Until he saw the chess game between Lee Minho and his idol, the Chess God Han Seungwoo.

Only then did he realize that in the game of chess, there are really others.

In the past, he thought that the highest state of chess now was Han Seungwoo.

However, now he knows that above Han Seungwoo, there is another Lee Minho.

He really wanted to see how wonderful the expression on Bao Zhan's face would be when he lost to Lee Minho.

As if sensing Bai Yan's gaze, Lee Minho looked back. It happened to meet Bai Yan's eyes.

Lee Minho didn't expect that he would compete with Bai Yan again.

Before he had time to react, Bai Yan restrained the gloating towards Bao Zhan on his face.

With respect on his face, he nodded to Lee Minho.

Lee Minho was about to greet him, but he didn't expect Bai Yan to have such a serious and respectful appearance, which Lee Minho was not used to.

After all, every time he saw Bai Yan before, he always looked very arrogant.

Therefore, Lee Minho had no choice but to nod towards him as a greeting.

Lee Minho looked at the time again. There were still twenty minutes before the game.

As time passes, there are more and more people in the arena.

Today is also the day of Game 1 of the Masters Finals.

The first round of the Masters Finals will be broadcast live.

Lee Minho thought about getting rid of Bao Zhan as soon as possible, so that he might be able to catch up with the match between Han Seungwoo and Jiang Ruoxing.

For this competition, outside media reporters are still not allowed in.

But this time the game will be broadcast live online.

For 70 groups of chess players, there will be 70 separate live broadcast rooms for live broadcast.

Therefore, on the referee table next to each group of chess players, there will be a live broadcast mobile phone.

The live broadcast will start five minutes before the game starts.

This live broadcast competition has not yet started, but many people have already poured into the live broadcast room.

Some people come for chess players they like or are familiar with, and some come to cheer for their friends and relatives.

What's more? It's to see if ordinary amateur chess players can win against those professional chess players.

Especially the first place Lee Minho, this amateur chess player who won the first place in the first twelve rounds without even a photo.

However, those who are interested have already discovered that Lee Minho's name is the same as the name of a college student who became a hot search a while ago.

Some people speculate whether this will be the same person.

At that time, although the college student was clarified about the maintenance of the door, it was nothing and was wronged.

But the university's decision to expel the student was not withdrawn after the matter became known.

Therefore, the college student was expelled in the end.

Some people are sympathetic, some people felt pitiful. Some people take pleasure in other people's misfortune, thinking that flies will not bite seamless eggs.

But the memory of the Internet may be long or short.

Although only half a month has passed, many people have already forgotten it.

After all, for the Internet, for more than half a month, if there is no exposure, everything will be completely forgotten.

The time came quickly to nine fifty-five minutes.

All participating chess players have already taken their seats.

There are still five minutes before the start of the game, and the live broadcast room is also opened on time.

Kang Taehyun, Yoon Jungsu and the others immediately opened the live broadcast room where Lee Minho was.

The 70 live broadcast rooms will be marked with the names of the two players.

The order of the live broadcast room is arranged according to the ranking of amateur chess players.

Lee Minho was number one, so his live broadcast was also listed on the homepage.

As soon as the live broadcast started, many fans came in immediately.

Fortunately, the chess player is visible.

Fans who entered the live broadcast room were very curious about what the mysterious first chess player looked like.

When they saw Lee Minho, who looked really handsome with elegant temperament, many people sent barrages one after another.

Some people like it, and of course some people don't like it.

Even sharp-eyed netizens have discovered that Lee Minho is dressed in an extraordinary way.

This topic is becoming more and more crooked.

The competition has not started yet, and someone has successfully changed the topic to another place.

Han Seungwoo, who is far away in the Shanghai, is sitting in the chess room that all chess players dream of and want to enter.

Sitting opposite him was the previous celebrity title winner, Jiang Ruoxing.

Although Jiang Ruoxing has the title of celebrity, he also knows that his chess strength is not as good as Han Seungwoo.

His celebrity title fell on him only because Han Seungwoo did not participate in the celebrity competition before.

Now that Han Seungwoo is participating, this title will change hands this year.

Jiang Ruoxing didn't want to boost other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige, he had self-knowledge.

Not to mention his age, whether it is physical strength or mental strength, it has long been inferior to before.

Even a few years ago, when he was in his best form, he still couldn't beat Han Seungwoo.

Han Seungwoo's progress was visible to the naked eye.

Even if he lost to Han Seungwoo, Jiang Ruoxing didn't feel any regrets.

Even him already wanted to play a round with Han Seungwoo.

He was happier than anyone else that Han Seungwoo could come to participate in the celebrity competition and compete with him for the title of celebrity again.

However, Han Seungwoo seemed a little absent-minded today.

Because he had already looked at his watch three times during the short time he sat down.

"Han Seungwoo, is there something urgent for you?"

Jiang Ruoxing asked directly.

The media reporter next to him was taking pictures.

"No."

Han Seungwoo looked out the window and said.

"It's just that today is his match."

"Him?"

Jiang Ruoxing was puzzled.

"Which important player's game can make you worry much?"

Jiang Ruoxing thought for a while.

In Colorado, apart from Masters Tournament, the only major chess tournament today is the Chess Cup tournament.

'Could there be an actually more important game of chess that I doesn't know about?'

Han Seungwoo is famously proud in the chess world.

Whether it's his people or his chess.

Only with his approval, he will say a few more words.

Otherwise, even during the competition, Han Seungwoo would not say a word.

Now someone can actually make him worry so much in the Masters Tournament.

This made Jiang Ruoxing very curious.

The fire of gossip ignited in the eyes of the media friends on the side.

'Who is the person who can make Han Seungwoo, the Chess God worry?'

'Could it be that Han Seungwoo is in love?'

'If so, that's big news.'

Han Seungwoo is a master of chess, so someone who can become his girlfriend must be very good.

Many media were excitedly waiting for Han Seungwoo's answer.

Han Seungwoo then quietly withdrew his gaze from the window, and instead of answering Jiang Ruoxing's question, he said flatly.

"It's time."

As soon as the words fell, the staff said to all the media reporters.

"Sorry, the game time will start, and friends from the media, please leave."

All media friends had no choice but to withdraw reluctantly.

Jiang Ruoxing said to Han Seungwoo.

"I hope I can learn your real chess skills today."

Han Seungwoo nodded in reply.

"Yes."

Masters finals, the first game officially started.

On the other side, the Chess Cup competition officially kicked off.

Bao Zhan said he would not show mercy, but he really did not show mercy.

From the very beginning, Lee Minho was directly underwhelmed.

However, Lee Minho still played his own chess calmly.

After Bao Zhan dropped a white chess piece and trapped Lee Minho's two black chess pieces to death, he proudly said to Lee Minho.

"I told you, I won't show mercy. Give up, you're just a mess, I don't even know if can play properly. It's so rubbish."

At first, Bao Zhan was a little afraid of Lee Minho.

However, when he started to play more than a dozen moves, he found that Lee Minho's chess was played irregularly.

Played like a beginner, full of mistakes and omissions.

Therefore, Bao Zhan took the opportunity to attack and took Lee Minho's moves in one fell swoop.

Bao Zhan said to Lee Minho disdainfully again.

"You are like this, and are still the first place? I think you spent a lot of money to be the first place?"

Lee Minho gently picked up a black chess piece with his right hand, looked at Bao Zhan's complacent face, and said nothing.

Bao Zhan thought he was guilty, and continued.

"I heard that you used fifteen minutes to end the game before. Don't worry, I will also end our game in ten minutes this time."

Lee Minho picked up a black chess piece again, looked at Bao Zhan with deep eyes, and said.

"I'm sorry."

Bao Zhan sneered.

"Why, do you think that if you apologize to me now, I will show mercy?"

"No, I want to tell you. I'm sorry, your game can only end here."

Lee Minho raised his hand, and with a snap the black piece landed on the board. It is crisp and neat.

On the chessboard, the black chess piece that was originally surrounded, immediately formed a tendency.

It instantly reverse the encirclement after he dropped this piece.

Immediately besieged the white chess, and the situation was reversed all of a sudden.

After Bao Zhan saw this scene, the corner of his mouth froze with a smug smile.

"How come..."

Bao Zhan immediately made a remedy.

Lee Minho continued pressing hard at every step.

Every move Bao Zhan made, not only failed to save his own white chess, but instead became a burden that dragged down his own white chess step by step.

There was more and more sweat on Bao Zhan's forehead, and the sweat began to drip down his cheeks.

However, Bao Zhan didn't care about it at all.

Every time Lee Minho made a move, he couldn't tell how powerful he was. However, Bao Zhan's white chess turned into blades.

A knife aimed at his heart. A little bit involuntarily pierced into his heart.

Bao Zhan's whole body was stiff and he couldn't control himself.

He felt like a puppet on a string, unconsciously controlled by Lee Minho step by step to self-destruction.

His pupils began to shrink little by little, and fear continued to spread in his heart.

Until the last glimmer of light faded.

Bao Zhan leaned weakly on the chair behind him as if he had collapsed.

Lee Minho stood up, looked at his watch, and said to Bao Zhan, who seemed to have lost his soul.

"Exactly fifteen minutes."

After speaking, he left directly.

The referee stood up and pronounced the verdict.

"Lee Minho wins!"
