After finishing the discussion on the chess game, Li Xiangping took a short rest and immediately participated in the draw ceremony of the semi-finals.

In the temporarily arranged simple venue, when the four top four chess players lined up, Li Xiangping was undoubtedly the one who received the most attention. The youngest age, the big words before the game, this game lasted nearly 7 and a half hours.

The most important thing is that in the semi-finals to be held a month later, Li Xiangping will face the situation of "three heroes versus Lu Bu" again.

When these factors come together, he will easily become the center of attention.

Before the draw, the host's microphone was indeed the first one handed to Li Xiangping. Li Xiangping took the microphone, first looked around in the crowd, found his opponent Park Yongxun, and then nodded to him:

"Before talking about my feelings, I first want to say sorry to Park Yongxun brother. You played very well today. I was lucky enough to win. I learned a lot from you today..."

After saying this routine polite words, Li Xiangping paused for a moment, and then continued in a joking tone:

"Everyone often says that those who survive a catastrophe will be blessed later. I am not afraid to tell everyone. My biggest feeling now is of course that I hope this saying can be verified in me. After the competition is played like this, of course only the champion is the winner.

My only goal is because only in this way can I feel worthy of the inheritance that Brother Park Yongxun gave me today."

Hearing Li Xiangping announce his victory again, many people at the scene felt a strange feeling.

Can we accuse Li Xiangping of being "young and frivolous" and not knowing how to restrain himself? Well, on the surface, of course there is no problem, especially in the current world chess world, where modest gentlemen like Chang Hao and Li Canghao are popular, and there are few chess players like Li Xiangping

So high-profile today.

But is Li Xiangping really "young and frivolous"? It seems that it cannot be said. Needless to say more about the rest, just look at the potential opponents behind Li Xiangping, whether it is Lao Cao, Da Liu, or Xiao Li, these are all

Among other famous figures today, there are both adult superstars and super newcomers.

But these three people have all fought against Li Xiangping in official competitions before. The fact that they fought is not the point. The real point is: these three people have not beaten Li Xiangping yet!

Among them, Lao Cao had one set, Da Liu had two sets, and Xiao Li had one set. Li Xiangping actually maintained a 100% winning rate against them. If you consider the problem from this perspective, of course, you cannot call what he just said arrogant.

After Li Xiangping finished speaking, it was the turn of three Korean chess players to speak. Among these three Korean chess players, whether it is Lao Cao or Liu, they are already considered old foxes in the world chess world. For such an occasion,

Naturally, they responded easily, and their speeches were also very natural and appropriate. They not only expressed their strong desire to "revenge" Li Xiangping, but they also pretended to be humble and praised Li Xiangping for his great chess skills. He was very difficult to deal with. They were prepared to take the next step.

I will "learn" from Li Xiangping in the next game.

Only the unruly Li Shishi couldn't control that much. His "pre-match speech" was a direct confrontation with Li Xiangping:

"Chinese player Li is very strong, very strong! Not only is he strong, but he also has his own uniqueness. In a word, his performance is worthy of all the praise given to him, but despite this, I still

I am very eager to play against him, and this desire even reaches the point of impatient, because there is no other way. Among the three Korean chess players, I am the youngest, so I think I must shoulder the responsibility of stopping player Li."

Seeing that Li Sedol was talking so much, the host asked another question: "Are you confident that you can defeat him?"

"Of course I have confidence!"

When Li Shishi said this, he specifically glanced at Li Xiangping. However, he didn't know that he was just flirting with the blind man. Li Xiangping was bored. Starting from Lao Cao, how many people did Li Xiangping have?

Everyone speaks only Korean, how can Li Xiangping understand it?

"Judging from today's game, player Li is not without weaknesses, let alone invincible. Therefore, if I can meet him, I am confident that I can defeat him."

After Li Shishi finished speaking, everyone applauded, and Li Xiangping also applauded. Of course, his applause, like many others, was purely polite and social.

When the results of the next draw came out, even Li Xiangping didn't know if this was a secret operation by the organizer, because his opponent in the semi-finals was none other than Lee Sedol. In real history, this year's "Fujitsu Cup" champion

The winner is Lee Sedol.

But Li Xiangping no longer cares about this. After all, the three chess players standing in front of him, Lao Shi, have all played against them and won. So if he wants to win the championship in the end, of course it doesn't matter who he touches at this time.

There is another reason for Li Xiangping's indifference. The semi-finals will be held a month later on the first weekend of July, and it is June now. For Li Xiangping, there is another big event this month.

, he will take the "high school entrance examination" this month, and before he knows it, Li Xiangping has traveled through time for almost 2 years.

It's just that Li Xiangping is a time traveler after all, so maybe others will be very concerned about things like the "High School Entrance Examination" and regard it as a big event, such as his old man Li Yuanhu, and his grandparents who are far away in his hometown.

I made several calls, and apart from asking about Li Xiangping's chess playing situation, they mainly mentioned the "high school entrance examination" matter.

However, just because his relatives are interested in him does not mean that Li Xiangping is interested in him too. In his opinion, the 'High School Entrance Examination' is just a formality for him.

No matter what, I am still a world champion, right? According to the domestic system, I can be regarded as an "athlete". Even if Go cannot be compared with other Olympic sports, as a "specialty student", I will always have no problem.

Not to mention a mere high school, even if you want to go to college in a few years, there are many colleges you can choose from.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Xiangping himself did not take this too seriously. He just ignored it and ignored it. But of course he still had to show off on the surface, so after finishing the "Fujitsu Cup" quarterfinals

After the game, Li Xiangping's training intensity weakened slightly, and he began to spend more time running to school.

One week before the "high school entrance examination", at the "XXX International School" where Li Xiangping studied, Li Xiangping asked his childhood friend Zhao Daokai strangely:

"Dao Kai, what's wrong with you? Why do I see you looking so distracted?"

Zhao Daokai looked at Li Xiangping and said, "I can't compete with you. This high school entrance examination doesn't matter to you, but I can't do it. If I don't do well, I might be in trouble."

Li Xiangping laughed after hearing this. Of course he didn't take Zhao Daokai's words to heart. In fact, just like himself, Zhao Daokai was certainly the kind of person who didn't care about the high school entrance examination. His grandfather was a high-ranking official in the system. Although his parents were not involved in the system,

Right, but he has a wide network of connections in the capital, and since Zhao Daokai came to the capital, he and himself are still close friends.

What this "brother in distress" means is that Zhao Daokai, like himself, would definitely not be able to get into a good high school if he only relied on cultural achievements. In this case, Li Xiangping was 2. His elders did not do it for him.

After making arrangements, it's not his turn to worry about this kind of thing.

"Tell me, what unequal treaty did your mother sign with you this time?"

"Alas! The trouble may be a bit big this time," Zhao Daokai said with a frown on his face:

"My mother told me that if I can't get into high school on my own this time, then she might as well send me abroad. She also said that it would save me from embarrassing them at home. Xiangping, listen, listen.

Listen, does this sound like what a mother would say?"

Li Xiangping laughed: "That's really her biological mother. She's a real biological mother. Think about it, Dao Kai. Your mother actually thinks the same as you. You are doubting whether she is your biological mother, and she is also doubting you.

Is he his biological son?"

"Li Xiangping!"

Seeing Zhao Daokai glaring at him, Li Xiangping quickly changed the topic:

"By the way, Dao Kai, why did your mother suddenly think of sending you abroad? I've never heard you mention it before."

This is exactly what Li Xiangping was confused about, because in his previous life, nothing like this had ever happened. Zhao Daokai, like himself, had always been hanging out in the country, except for the occasional trip abroad.

"Oh, forget it, it's not because of your wife."

Li Xiangping was stunned: "My wife?"

"No, to be precise, it's because the family owns a mine. Don't you know that Yang Na will go abroad next month?"

"Oh, Yang Na is going abroad? Really?"

Yang Na is Cai Shanshan's best friend, and her father Yang Jinbiao is also the largest shareholder of Li Xiangping's team, so in a sense, he can be regarded as Li Xiangping's "boss".

Lao Yang started his career by mining. He is a standard tycoon who "owns mines at home". He still owns several phosphate mines and fluorite mines. His family has a large business and strong strength. At least at this stage, his net worth is higher than

Li Yuanhu and Cai Zhixiong are both much taller.

In today's era, domestic wealthy people are very keen on sending their children to study abroad. This is also a trend in this era. Therefore, Li Xiangping was not surprised when he heard the news. What surprised him was that Zhao Daokai also

Going abroad.

But thinking about it carefully, Li Xiangping felt relieved. In his previous life, when he did not take the professional Go path, he actually did not know Lao Yang. Maybe his old man was not familiar with him either. But now because of himself, this is equivalent to expanding

It widened the social circle of Li Yuanhu, Zhao Jiadong and the others, so when Zhao Daokai heard about it, he mentioned it in front of Zhao Daokai.

"Haha, Daokai, don't worry, I guess, if your mother just said it casually, she would definitely not let your precious son go abroad."

"Oh really?"

Zhao Daokai was still there a little worried about gain and loss, but after Li Xiangping thought about it carefully, he was very sure that Zhao Daokai really just said it casually to scare Zhao Daokai. There are three factors that make it impossible for Zhao Daokai to succeed at this age.

Go abroad.

First, Zhao Daokai’s family did not have any relatives or friends overseas, so if he went abroad at such a young age, there would be no one to take care of him.

Second, if you want Zhao Daokai to go abroad, his grandfather may not be able to pass it. Not to mention that he is the only direct grandson, and grandfather Zhao is still a relatively traditional old revolutionary. Plus he is still in power, so

It is impossible to send Zhao Daokai abroad during this period.

The third and most important point is that Zhao Daokai is probably not willing to do it himself. Even though his mother is a top academic doctor from Princeton, Li Xiangping knows that this top academic does not actually agree with foreign basic education. She

She believes that the education of primary and secondary school students in the United States may not be as good as that in China. In this case, it is completely impossible for her to send Zhao Daokai abroad at this time.

"Dao Kai, please be at ease."

Li Xiangping patted his best friend on the shoulder: "I guarantee your mother is just scaring you. She will definitely not be willing to send you abroad at this time, but that Yang Na, hehe..."

"What are you talking about?"
