Before they could even react, the outcome of this match was decided!
Lu Ming won!
A light breeze blew, and only the rustling of the trees could be heard in the entire courtyard. At the same time, it soothed their hot hearts.
Tang Mingkun and the old leader stood rooted to the ground in disbelief for a long time, unable to recover from their shock. The latter widened his eyes in shock. He had to admit that when he heard the other party say that he was invincible, he was contemptuous. After all, even those masters did not dare to say that!
Moreover, he had been learning for a long time. Although his chess skills were much higher than others, he still did not dare to say such words. Now that he had been humiliated by such a junior, he felt that the other party was too arrogant. Although he had indeed made a name for himself in his career, the current chess game was clearly biased towards him!
He was sure that as long as he took a few more steps, the other party would definitely lose! He could also let Lu Ming see the situation clearly and learn not to be reckless! If he continued to be so arrogant, he would probably suffer a huge loss sooner or later! In that case, why not let him help his good friend’s godson!
Just as he was thinking of beating Lu Ming up, this person had moved the king to a suitable position at some point. He then followed with a checkmate! He… lost again! Completely! So the person who couldn’t see the situation clearly was him? How many years had it been? He hadn’t suffered for a long time, but now, he had fallen twice in the hands of the same person!
Of course, he was depressed when he lost, but he was more excited, and… gratified! It was normal for capable people to be arrogant. Besides, wasn’t the other party telling the truth? He was invincible and had never lost before. He had underestimated this young man.
He had thought that he had overestimated the other party on account of his good friend. He did not expect that he was too inexperienced. With Lu Ming around, China would have a successor! With Lu Ming creating the future, he looked forward to the future of the country.
Tang Mingkun was shocked at first. Was his adopted son so powerful? Then he was overjoyed. Look! This was the child he was proud of! He immediately put his hands on his hips and flaunted proudly, “How is it? Isn’t Little Ming very powerful? Even in the world, his strength can definitely be considered top-notch!”
Although his chess skills were low, he could at least tell how brilliant Lu Ming’s move was! At a glance, he looked like an experienced person playing chess with a rookie. But now, it seemed that the so-called blind move in their eyes might have been premeditated. The sudden counterattack in the end almost made him cry out in surprise!
If it hadn’t been that he wanted to maintain his image in front of his good friend, he probably wouldn’t be able to hold it in anymore!
The old leader did not make up for it. Instead, he smiled and said frankly, “Your son is amazing! He’s really amazing! There are very few people in my life that I admire. Old Tang is one, and now Little Ming is another! The surprise you gave me is really too big! Hahahaha! How interesting!”
When he first met Tang Mingkun, he had yet to climb to his current position. However, he had long heard that the Tang family had produced a genius that was rarely seen in a decade. Before he met him, he firmly believed that these words were meant for the next family head.
This thought continued until they met. After talking, he realized that the other party’s knowledge and ability were extraordinary. Especially in the midst of their interactions, he realized that he was very similar to the other party. They had the same ambition, similar personality, and talent in their respective fields! Sometimes, he even wondered if he was looking in the mirror.
Unknowingly, they had spent decades together. In his heart, he had long treated the other party as his soulmate. However… he thought that there were only a few lives that could make him submit to him. He did not expect this person to give him such a big surprise in his later years!
Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Ming with admiration.
“Previously, I thought that as long as I understood your chess strategy, I would be able to win. It seems that I thought too simply of you. After this, I’ll work harder to study it and strive to win against you! What surprised me the most this time was your completely incomprehensible chess strategy. If not for today’s game, I would have thought that your chess strategy is very simple.”
He paused for a moment as if he was looking at a junior he liked. He touched Lu Ming’s head and said, “I’m really liking you more and more. I’ve always thought that a person’s character will appear from the chess game. Since you left last time, I’ve specially found some information about you.
At that time, I thought that you, who is known as the North Star and whose actions are unpredictable, shouldn’t only know one chess move.
But then I dismissed the idea because you didn’t say how long you’d been playing chess. From my experience, it’s impossible to master many methods in a short period of time. Even if you’re talented enough, this isn’t your area of business. I thought maybe I thought too much of you.”
However, Lu Ming proved that he could really do it!
“You’re very impressive. I really want to let those so-called geniuses from the official platform take a good look. They’re clearly older than you, but why aren’t they as smart as you? You’ll be treated like a treasure by them all day. Do you mind telling me who you learned chess from? How long have you been playing?”
Although it was impossible for Lu Ming to be playing chess for a longer period than him, he was still very curious about how talented he was.
Lu Ming scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He was afraid that his answer would affect his godfather’s good friend.
However, under the old leader’s encouraging gaze, he told the truth. “Some friends got me to watch a few rounds of chess games when I was in the university. After that, I gave up after learning for two to three weeks because I had too much homework. I really didn’t have time to study this. Besides, no one around me was interested in chess.”
Therefore, he had roughly studied it for more than half a month. At that time, how could he have thought that this skill would still be useful? If not for the system bonus, he probably wouldn’t have won so easily.
This time, even Tang Mingkun was shocked. He and his old leader looked at each other. He had achieved this standard after self-studying for more than half a month. Moreover, he had not played chess for a long time. To be able to play to this level, it must be because of his talent! He was simply a genius!
Wasn’t his learning ability too strong?
The breeze blew again, and Lu Ming’s shirt fluttered. He maintained his previous posture without moving, but the consequence of using his brain too much was that he was physically and mentally exhausted. However, he felt that the side effects on the old leader were definitely many times greater than his!
