After Lee Minho and Forbe had a meal, they went back to Azure Retreat.
After returning, Lee Minho had time to take a good look at the account books of Celestial Mansion for so many years.
Looking at the ledgers recorded in the most primitive way, Lee Minho felt a headache for a while.
He rubbed his brow that was in pain, and said to the system.
"System, you not only found me a grandpa, but also got me a gold swallowing beast! The labor and maintenance fee is as high as hundreds of thousands millions a year."
The system reminded.
{Didn't you see it clearly, host? In terms of labor costs, more than a million dollars is just the cost of all workers.}
'God, one month, all the workers alone cost millions.'
Although it is impossible for him to put all his savings of more than 10 billion dollars into that plan.
There's a hundreds of millions left behind from the legacy which will ease his burden for the meantime.
Therefore, the final result is that those people in Celestial Mansion will remain in their original state.
In the morning, what happened in the Sports Center Building quickly spread wildly in the all circles.
After all, Bruce was too arrogant at the time.
More importantly, after Bruce came to Colorado, there were indeed many chess players who won.
His chess talent seems to be even better than Fang Wen.
During the day, Lee Minho put down his harsh words. Hoping to meet Bruce.
Unexpectedly, Lee Minho really met him.
In the afternoon, the battle list was announced. So, everyone knows that Lee Minho will face Bruce tomorrow.
In Qingyuan's Private Restaurant.
Yu Shiyuan was going to play tomorrow too.
The chess professional circle is actually not that big, those familiar chess players all have their own communication group.
Therefore, Yu Shiyuan also got the news that Lee Minho was going to compete with Bruce.
"It's him again? It seems that he hasn't learned enough lessons!"
Yu Shiyuan snorted coldly.
He also knew about Bruce's recent killings in the chess circle of Colorado.
It's just that Bobby actually dared to speak nonsense in the Sports Center Building.
'Even Han Seungwoo is not Lee Minho's opponent, what is a Bruce then?'
After Yu Shiyuan heard it, he just took it as a joke.
In a chess hall on the other side.
Kang Jihan, who is master level of his career, also heard the news.
He also knew about the fact that Bruce had won many players in the chess circle recently.
Bruce's attitude is very arrogant, Kang Jihan actually wants to kill his prestige in the competition.
Unexpectedly, someone told him that Bruce was going to meet Lee Minho, the number one player in qualifiers.
Because the promotion competition is coming soon, Kang Jihan has been practicing chess recently.
But he also knew that Lee Minho participated in the Chess Cup Qualifiers and won the first place.
But Kang Jihan, like other chess players, thought that Lee Minho's first place in the preliminaries was nothing special.
He knows Lee Minho as a very powerful individual that not even the major families could touch but in terms of chess, it's different.
Kang Jihan separates his life as a rich second generation, heir of Kang family, a major family in Kyoto and Kang Jihan a professional chess player.
"Tomorrow, Lee Minho will compete with Bruce?"
Duan Hongjie a candidate master level career snorted.
"There will be a good show tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have a game tomorrow, so I can't watch the live broadcast."
Kang Jihan then said.
"I remember you said that Bruce won against a professional chess player above master level?"
"It's true that he won, but that's because the opponent was not in the right shape at all."
Duan Hongjie sneered
"That Bruce won without force."
"Then how are you sure that Lee Minho can win against Bruce? Although Lee Minho won against Bao Zhan, Bruce's chess strength is at least might higher than master level."
Kang Jihan really didn't think that Lee Minho could win.
However, Duan Hongjie looked at Kang Jihan with strange eyes.
"Jihan, haven't you watched Lee Minho's games? His opponent in the second game is an overseas professional."
Kang Jihan raised his eyes.
"So what?"
Duan Hongjie helped his forehead helplessly,
"Forget it, you'd better take a look for yourself."
With that said, Duan Hongjie finds the video of the match between Lee Minho and Bao Zhan, and showed it to Kang Jihan.
Kang Jihan was stunned after watching the game.
He was not stunned by Lee Minho's chess strength, but because of Lee Minho's familiar chess style.
"This style of chess is so familiar."
Duan Hongjie stroked his chin and said.
"It's really familiar. When I first saw it, I thought I'd seen it somewhere before."
The two were thinking hard while watching the game.
Suddenly, Kang Jihan seemed to think of something, his pupils constricted.
"Could it be him?"
Duan Hongjie was taken aback by Kang jihan's sudden bombardment.
"Who?"
In the next morning.
Lee Minho went out on his beloved e-bike.
According to usual habits, Lee Minho was followed by five bodyguards.
However, when Lee Minho went out, he found that there were more than a dozen bodyguards following him.
Somewhat strangely asked the system,
"System, I remember, isn't there five bodyguards on duty a day? Why do there seem to be too many bodyguards today!"
{Who told the host that there are five bodyguards on duty a day?}
"Isn't it? There are 30 bodyguards in total, 5 shifts a day!"
The system rolled its eyes.
{How is it possible, what are the bodyguards doing like this then? Although they are divided into 6 groups, one group protects the host in close quarters every day.}
{That is limited to close quarters. The rest of the bodyguards are secretly protecting the host's safety.}
'Is that so?'
Lee Minho really didn't know.
He always thought that there were only five bodyguards who followed him every day to protect him.
Lee Minho remembered that among his bodyguards, there seemed to be many with different identities.
'So, does this so-called secret have other meanings?'
Soon, Lee Minho came to the Sports Center Building.
Sure enough, on a road section like Kyoto, the little e-bike can travel much quickly.
Lee Minho still quietly entered the Sports Center Building from the underground parking lot.
Many chess players who participated in the competition today came very early.
Everyone is talking about what happened yesterday.
When Lee Minho walked into the arena, everyone looked at him in unison.
In the arena, there was a sudden silence.
Lee Minho was also used to such gazes, and when he walked in, he walked directly to his game table.
"Lee Minho."
A familiar male voice broke the silence in the arena.
When Lee Minho heard someone calling his name, he turned around and saw Yu Shiyuan who was smiling.
"What a coincidence?"
Lee Minho also greeted him with a smile.
"Well, it's quite a coincidence."
"Don't be merciful in game."
"Will do."
Lee Minho really didn't intend to show mercy this time. He looked around and found that except for Yu Shiyuan, there were all unfamiliar faces.
The newcomers who joined the competition today are some of the candidate masters and above players.
Chess players with low rank chess skills are basically eliminated.
But besides Yu Shiyuan, Lee Minho also found a strange gaze.
The man looked at him intently, with hesitation and confusion on his face. He seemed hesitant to speak.
But the face was very strange, so Lee Minho didn't pay much attention to it.
Duan Hongjie has been thinking about what Kang Jihan said all morning.
Last night, after Kang Jihan watched Lee Minho's game, he actually said that Lee Minho was probably the mysterious chess player on PawnPlay.com.
The powerful player named 'Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves.'
The two of them studied the video of Lee Minho two games all night.
They found that the style of chess is indeed similar.
It's just that Lee Minho's chess are more fierce than Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves.
However, when he was fighting Bao Zhan, he set up that trap that Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves had used.
For a while, Kang Jihan wanted to play chess with that player, and he was crazy about it.
Every day, he always send game invitations to Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves.
The results are all gone.
During this period of time, the Autumn Winds Sweeping Fallen Leaves doesn't play much anymore.
Of course, just relying on two games of chess, it is impossible to confirm that the Lee Minho was indeed that player.
Therefore, Kang Jihan asked Duan Hongjie, who came to the competition today, to test Lee Minho.
However, Duan Hongjie was full of confusion.
How to test this? Go up and ask?
But that player and Lee Minho were not familiar at all, wouldn't this be too rude.
But after seeing Yu Shiyuan actually greeted Lee Minho, and the two seemed to be familiar, Duan Hongjie quietly went to find Yu Shiyuan.
