The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 301 Contempt
Wang Gang wasn't surprised that Zhou Qingyuan proposed to test Zheng Guangming. The college entrance examination is required for university entrance examinations. How can anyone enter the Chess Academy without taking the examination.

In fact, the Chess Academy exam is more stringent than the college entrance examination in a sense.

Because the Chess Academy is not only a school, but also a place where the top Go players in the country exchange ideas and have the opportunity to compete with top Go players from Japan and South Korea.

Everyone in the Chess Academy, even the students, gets a salary, and if they win an award in a major competition, they can share a house.

It can be said that after entering the chess academy, Zheng Guangming only needs to study Go with peace of mind for the rest of his life, and he doesn't have to worry about other things.

At the beginning, Wang Gang and Zhou Qingyuan also agreed that Zheng Guangming could take the test, but because he was blind, the test method needed to be changed, and he couldn't take the test with ordinary people.

"There are quite a few people in the Chess Academy questioning Guangming's ability, thinking that his eyes cannot see, and that he has a natural weakness in chess, and is easy to be targeted by others. Instead of wasting a precious seat in the Chess Academy on a blind person, it is better to give it to a normal person. "Zhou Qingyuan said to Wang Gang.

"Guangming, I'm sorry, although I have tried my best to fight for you, but in the chess academy, I am not a straight-talking man, but I have tried to give you a fair opportunity for assessment." Zhou Qingyuan apologized to Zheng Guangming.

Zheng Guangming held his blind staff and asked Zhou Qingyuan: "Dean Zhou, I don't know what I need to assess."

Zhou Qingyuan said: "The assessment is divided into two parts. The first is the literary test, and then Master Wu Yong'an personally assesses it, and plays a game of chess with Guangming."

Wang Gang has heard of Wu Yong'an's name, and in fact this name is very famous in the Go world.

Now the domestic Go rank competition has not yet started, and there is no division between [-]st and [-]th dan, but Wu Yongan is definitely at the level of [-]th dan, a generation of Go masters.

"Master Wu will play a game of guiding chess with you to judge whether your level can enter the chess academy. Don't worry, just show your normal level." Zhou Qingyuan comforted Zheng Guangming.

"Do I need to win?" Zheng Guangming really asked tomorrow.

Zhou Qingyuan had a strange expression on his face, as if he heard a big joke.

Who is Wu Yongan? He is almost recognized as a master of chess. Although Zheng Guangming is talented, no one would think that he can beat Master Wu.

"It's just guiding the chess, you don't have to be nervous." Wang Gang patted Zheng Guangming's shoulder, and encouraged him: "Just show your best skills."

Zheng Guangming nodded half-understood.

Zhou Qingyuan smiled and did not speak, and took Zheng Guangming to take the written test first.

Because Zheng Guangming was blind, Zhou Qingyuan submitted the written test, and Zheng Guangming could answer the questions orally.

The exam questions were not difficult, but Zheng Guangming got almost full marks for general Go knowledge.

The only question that lost points was that Zheng Guangming misunderstood Zhou Qingyuan's slurred speech.

In the written test, there were not only Zhou Qingyuan alone, but also two invigilators. They were all chess academy teachers who questioned Zheng Guangming's level, and they wrote most of the questions in the test paper.

The two transcribed the answers reported by Zheng Guangming on the test paper on the spot.

After the exam, Wang Gang led Zheng Guangming out of the classroom, and the two teachers graded it. Soon Zhou Qingyuan came out.

"Congratulations, you have passed the written test, and the next game is Master Wu's guiding chess."

Zheng Guangming asked impatiently, "When shall we start?"

"Uh, Master Wu is usually quite busy. He's not in the chess academy now. You have to wait for a while, or you can go to the cafeteria to have lunch first."

Zhou Qingyuan gave Wang Gang and his wife and Zheng Guangming three meal tickets, and he had to go to work beforehand.

Wang Gang asked the direction of the cafeteria, led Zheng Guangming there, ordered three meals, and sat in the corner of the cafeteria to eat slowly.

There are not too many people in the Chess Academy, and the cafeteria is not big, but the food is not bad, and it is really rare to see meat.

It also reflects from the side that the treatment of Qiyuan is good.

Wang Gang and Zheng Guangming were halfway through eating, and some people came in one after another. Most of them were young people in their early twenties. There were only three or four middle-aged people over the age of 30, and there were no elderly people.

Go is a very age-consuming sport, which requires extremely high mental power. Generally, after middle age, energy declines, and it is difficult to achieve results in Go.

Even national-level chess players who are over [-] have to retreat to the second line and focus on training students.

Chess Academy is the largest Go training base in the country, and naturally there are mostly young people.

When young people get together, they like to gossip.

"Have you heard? The Chess Academy wants to recruit a newcomer, who is said to be disabled?" A young man said to his companion while eating.

"What's the matter with the disabled? There is no regulation in the Go world. Disabled people can't play chess, as long as they have one hand, they can play chess."

"You don't know that! This disabled person is not a broken limb, but a blind man."

"If a blind man plays chess, then he can only play blind chess, which is not easy."

"When will our chess academy even want blind people?"

"What kind of chess can a blind man play? Can he remember every move? Don't go to the end and don't know where Tian Yuan is."

Wang Gang and Zheng Guangming were not angry when they heard doubts coming from around them, they still ate quietly.

The reason why the two of them have such good energy-raising skills is not really because of their broad-mindedness.

Wang Gang has confidence in Zheng Guangming. He feels that as long as Zheng Guangming shows his usual level, he will definitely be able to slap many people in the face.

Zheng Guangming was not angry because he had heard too many doubts. In Jichun and even Jiangliao, anyone who questioned him never beat him on the chessboard.

"Is Guangming ready?" Zheng Juan was not so well-mannered.

"Sister, I'm fine. I've heard even the worst things." Zheng Guangming said calmly.

"Let's go after eating! There is an assessment in the afternoon, you need to rest." Zheng Juan took Zheng Guangming and walked out of the cafeteria.

Those who laughed at Zheng Guangming just now suddenly saw a child passing by with a blind stick, and they were all embarrassed.

Reluctantly, Wang Gang packed up the bowls and chopsticks, and rushed to meet Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming.

The three of them didn't go far, so they basked in the sun outside the house to calm down.

This is what Wang Gang taught Zheng Guangming. After a meal, the blood in the brain flows to the stomach, and people will feel sleepy. At this time, it is best to stand up and take a walk, or blow on the cold wind to refresh yourself.

Playing chess consumes too much brain power, so it is not suitable for a nap.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Gang finally saw Master Wu Yongan.

Although Wu Yongan is a grandmaster of the Go world, he is not too old, only in his early forties, with a refined temperament, plain clothes, and a paper fan in his hand.

It's just that Beijing is freezing cold now, the coldest time is minus 23 degrees, what does Wu Yongan do with a fan, pretending to be thirteen?
"This is Zheng Guangming, right? I'm glad to play chess with you." Wu Yongan greeted Zheng Guangming like coaxing a child.

Zheng Guangming stretched out his hand to shake hands, and politely said to Wu Yongan: "Nice to meet you, Master Wu."

Wu Yongan said: "Sorry, I am a clean freak and never shake hands with people."

Zheng Guangming withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and said: "Master Wu, because I can't see, I will dictate when I play chess later, and my sister can help me release the chess, is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter, it's the same for everyone." Wu Yongan said: "Don't be nervous, it will be over soon."

Wang Gang found that Wu Yongan seemed very confident, or that he underestimated Zheng Guangming a bit.

The place where chess is played is a small room, the chessboard has been placed, and the dean Zhou Qingyuan has been waiting for a long time, and he will be the referee.

Wu Yongan confidently asked Zheng Guangming to play the sunspot first.

Zheng Guangming sat down and said, "Sister, Tianyuan."

Zheng Juan was taken aback for a moment, a little surprised why Zheng Guangming used Tianyuan first, usually starting from the four corners.

Wu Yong'an understood Zheng Guangming's mind in an instant. He asked Zheng Guangming to take the black and go first, and Zheng Guangming went down to Tianyuan, indicating that he would not take advantage.

"Hmph, kid, you seem to be very confident in yourself."

"I may be humble in other things, but in Go, I think I am not weaker than others."

Zheng Guangming suddenly burst out with a strong self-confidence, which was the self-confidence of being invincible all over Jiangliao, and also the self-confidence of his only means of survival.

Wu Yongan began to put away his contempt.

To be honest, when he promised Zhou Qingyuan to accompany Zheng Guangming in a game of guiding chess, he just took care of his old friend's face and never thought that Zheng Guangming would be his opponent.

However, when Zheng Guangming started playing chess, Wu Yongan was slightly surprised by the drastic change in momentum.

"Okay, let me see what level you are."

Wu Yongan picked up a white stone and started the first move.

As Wu Yongan himself said, this game of chess will soon be over.

Half an hour later, Wu Yongan was staring at the chessboard with sweat profusely, not even noticing that the folding fan in his hand was torn by him.

On the chessboard, the black pieces formed a giant dragon, killing the white pieces to pieces. Even a beginner in Go can see that the white pieces are powerless.

After playing a game of chess with Wu Yong'an, Zheng Guangming entered the chess academy smoothly, and the legend of a blind chess master began to spread in the chess academy.
