1347 Got the Prize (1/2)
The second round of the competition had begun.
Many people were eliminated during the first round. In other words, the ones who survived the first round of elimination were all skilful players. In this round of competition, Chen Xiaobei was up against Fan Xipin. He was one of the most skilful Go players amongst the others. Truth be told, Yan Ziqin was the only person that could compete with him. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was going up against Fan Xipin, Wei Xiaobao and the rest of the people who lost the bet went to Monkey King to bet that Chen Xiaobei was going to lose this round of competition.
Wei Xiaobao: Fan Xipin! Mr. Fan! Master Fan! Please do your best! Our fate lies in your hands!
Shen Gongpao: Fan Xipin! You defeated Taibai Jinxing in the first round of competition! I believe that you are skilful enough to defeat Chen Xiaobei!
Fan Xipin: Don't worry! The reason why Huang Longshi lost this competition was because he underestimated his opponent! He allowed his opponent to put three stones first! That's no different from looking for trouble! Don't worry! I will not let God Chen put any stone before I do! I'm pretty confident he is going to lose this round of elimination!
Wei Xiaobao: Great! This is what I've been waiting for! Monkey King! Get ready to lose everything you have won just now! Hehehe…
Monkey King: Hmph! You should get ready to be beaten up by all eight of your wives!
Shen Gongpao: Just cut the crap already! Begin the second round now!
At the very beginning, Fan Xipin was filled with confidence. While playing with Chen Xiaobei, he went and chatted in the group. However, the speed of him moving the stones gradually got slower and slower after half an hour.
Around an hour later, the chess board was only filled halfway and Fan Xipin's Dragon was slaughtered and there was nothing he could do about it. Just like the previous round, those that knew the rules knew that Fan Xipin had already lost in this round of the competition.
Fan Xipin: I can't believe I just lost to God Chen… Everything happened too fast!
Wei Xiaobao: What?!! You lost again?! My heart doesn't feel good right now! Please don't scare me! I'm so dead if you really lose to God Chen! I should have just put my bet on God Chen! I'm filled with so much regret right now!
Fan Xipin: I don't want lose as well! But it's true that I'm not as skilful as God Chen! I concede!
Shen Gongpao: Ah!! What is happening to you guys! Three days ago, all of you said you were going to win this... and now Chen Xiaobei is slowly defeating each one of you? This is ridiculous!
Fan Xipin: It's normal to lose in any competition! I don't mind it! God Shen, why are you overreacting?
Monkey King: How could he not overreact? He is about to lose his Primordial Jade Divine Incantation to Xiaobei! That is one of the most important skill books of Chanism. Though it was never considered a top-tier skill, its value is still pretty damn high! Asking him to give it to Chen Xiaobei is worse than cutting a piece of flesh off him!
Fan Xipin: Erm… Well… A bet is a bet! God Shen himself was willing to put his valuable skill book at stake! There's nothing I can do about it!
Shen Gongpao: You… I'm really angry right now!
Chen Xiaobei: I have told you before that no one can defeat me when it comes to Go! You are the one who refused to believe me! Are you going to blame me now?!
Shen Gongpao: Chen Xiaobei! You better stop acting in such an arrogant manner! I refuse to believe that you can defeat every single player in here! For the next round, your opponent is going to be Yan Ziqin! I don't believe that you can defeat him this time! Seems like you're finally out of luck!
Yan Ziqin: What? My next opponent is God Chen?! Oh god! This is truly an unlucky moment! Shit! I'm going to lose this time!
Shen Gongpao: What do you mean by you are going to lose to him? Yan Ziqin! You better wake up now! Encouraging others means digging your own grave!
Yan Ziqijn: Oh, c'mon... I don't wish to dig my own grave as well. I have closely observed both games that God Chen had just played! Clearly, he is way better than me, and my skill level is similar to only that of Fan Xipin! There's no way in heaven that I can defeat him! I think I'm going to concede this game.
Shen Gongpao: What?!
Yan Ziqin: Yep! I've thought over it carefully. No matter what I do, I'm going to lose the game anyway. So, I think it's better for me to concede now before it starts to avoid any embarrassment.
Shen Gongpao: Mr… Mr. Yan. Can you please at least give it a try? Don't concede now! I believe you can do it! Just give it a try please!
Yan Ziqin: No way… No way… God Chen is too skilful at Go! It's not necessary at all! I have decided that I'm not going to play this round!
God Erlang: What? Even Yan Ziqin has just decided to concede the competition! There's no point for us to continue with the competition anymore… I'm going to concede as well!
