It didn't take long.
Wang Shouzhe finished discussing official matters with the An Commandery Prince. Immediately enthusiastic, the prince set up a chessboard, grabbed the black and white pieces, and prepared to leave Wang Shouzhe with not a single piece remaining, as a form of payback.
Playing chess with Shouzhe had become one of the An Commandery Prince's favorite leisure activities lately, solely because his skill was genuinely terrible, akin to that of a beginner who could fly but neither high nor far.
There were countless beginners in the world, and the An Commandery Prince had bullied other weak players, but it was never as satisfying and thrilling as bullying Wang Shouzhe, whereas it was rather dull and completely lacked joy.
On reflection, the only reason could be that Shouzhe was just too perfect in every aspect and always had a plan up his sleeve, inspiring awe and admiration. Bullying a beginner of such caliber, no matter how many times, never got old.
