Chapter 390: Praise
At this moment, Tang Mingkun and the old leader’s eyes were filled with disbelief. It was not that the former did not know that the time Lu Ming spent learning to play chess was very short, but he did not expect it to be so short. He thought that it would be at least two to three years. He had played chess with the old leader for many years. If Lu Ming was in the same situation as him, his chess skills would definitely be higher than now!
Such talent is really astonishing!
They couldn’t help but wonder,?Is this really something a human can do??They looked at Lu Ming tacitly. The person involved was still smiling, but he looked a little embarrassed. Why was he embarrassed? Was it because he had won these consecutive victories with his talent?
It was not that they had not heard of the gap between geniuses and ordinary people in the past, but they believed that hard work could make up for the gap. In addition, they were all geniuses, but now that they were in front of Lu Ming, it was not enough! It was as if there was a bottomless ravine between them. They could only look at him from afar and could not even feel jealous.
Envy filled their hearts.
The old leader clapped and sighed with emotion. “You learned two chess moves in such a short period of time. Impressive! With your talent, if you are exposed to chess for a few more years, I’m afraid it would be difficult to find an opponent outside!”
Seeing this, Lu Ming kept on smiling. He had expected the plan to succeed, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly! However, it was also good. It saved him from having to worry about this matter in the future. Startling the old leader, he said, “Old Leader, when did I say that I only know these two chess styles?”
As soon as he said this, the old leader was stunned for a long time and did not understand what he meant. He subconsciously looked at his good friend and saw that his good friend was also dumbfounded. Therefore, he knew that Tang Mingkun was clueless. If he had known this earlier, why would he have such an expression?
He rubbed his chin and said with interest, “Why? Isn’t it? Don’t tell me that you actually have two or three other ways of playing chess. Then you really surprised me! Although this isn’t anything special, combined with your experience… I have to admit that this is the first time I’ve met someone as talented as you.”
Apart from saying Lu Ming was talented, he actually didn’t know what words to praise him with! His excitement caused his heart to beat faster and faster. His adrenaline soared, and a faint blush unknowingly crept up the tip of his ears. Tang Mingkun wasn’t any better.
He couldn’t wait to ask his godson, “Little Ming, from what you said, are you hiding something? Why don’t you tell us how many moves you know?”
He estimated that he would only have ten moves at most. If he had more, wouldn’t that be too abnormal? Moreover… if it was really unexpected, according to the old leader’s habit of looking at people, wouldn’t that be too fickle! He suddenly recalled the evaluation of the outside world. He was the most unpredictable man. No one knew what was going on in Lu Ming’s mind, and he was naturally included.
In the next second, Lu Ming propped his face with his left hand and said, “Guess? Actually, I don’t even know how many there are. Why don’t I show a little bit in the next game? Doesn’t the old leader want to play with me to your heart’s content today? Isn’t this a coincidence? Coincidentally, I feel pretty good today.”
His tone sounded very relaxed. If one observed carefully, they would notice that his muscles were the same, as if no one could be his true opponent.
However, the old leader could understand that. After all, chess masters basically had their own pride, let alone a genius like Lu Ming. He was looking forward to having a good time. It had been a long time since he was so excited. His curiosity and joy almost swept away his last bit of rationality!
He chuckled and said, “Then I’ll wait and see. Don’t disappoint me!”
Tang Mingkun looked at the people on both sides of the table. It was obvious that they were already in the zone. Even if he shouted for them to stop now, no one would listen.?Why not just let them be??he thought. He wanted to see how capable his godson was. The next scene made him gape!
The old leader chased after him relentlessly, frantically trying to crack the chess game. On the other hand, Lu Ming seemed to be teasing a mouse from time to time, creating the illusion that he was about to lose. In fact, he could turn the situation around with just a few chess pieces. Such a personality… was a little nasty. However, as expected of his son, he was really brilliant!
Every time his good friend cracked the state of play in the game, Lu Ming would use a new move that he had never seen before. Before the old leader could think, he would be forced to deal with him. Then he saw his godson use all kinds of dazzling moves.
It was as if Lu Ming had perfectly integrated into the chessboard. The chess pieces were his limbs. No matter what the old leader was thinking, Lu Ming could observe his every move!
Terror!
This was too much for them!
Tang Mingkun looked at the cold sweat on his old leader’s forehead. Only his eyes were shockingly bright. He thought that if it were him, he would have given up long ago. The old leader was using his brain every minute and second. Every time he took a few steps on the chessboard, Yang Mingkun felt that he would have to recuperate for a long time before he could replenish his dead brain cells!
Only someone like the old leader, who loved to play chess to the extreme, would rack his brain in a chess game that he would definitely lose! Yes, he was completely sure that with Lu Ming’s ability, even if he participated in the Olympics, he would defeat most of the people and even bag a gold medal easily!
He did not think Lu Ming would defeat everyone because another genius comparable to him might appear. Although the possibility of this happening was very small, it was not impossible. However, the scales in his heart slowly tilted towards Lu Ming! The old leader was very powerful. He had played chess with him for so many years, so he naturally knew the level of the old leader.
He belonged to the group above the professional level.
This was a conservative estimate. If he performed well, he would have to improve further. However, in front of a true master, his good friend was still not good enough. He and Lu Ming were like an ant versus an elephant. Although the difference in age between the two was huge, the old leader was still a fool in front of Lu Ming.
No one would have thought that Lu Ming had never learned chess before, let alone believe such a lie that was ‘full of loopholes’! However, this was the reality he had seen with his own eyes. If he had not witnessed this scene, he would have thought that the other party was crazy for fame.
