At 5:30 in the afternoon, at the door of the hot pot restaurant.
Bai Liu sat at the mouth of a boiling pot, next to Lu Yizhan, who had just got off work with his menu.
It is rare for him to work overtime. Yesterday's unprecedented explosion caused the Heresy Administration to take over Lu Yizhan's department in a short time, so that ordinary people like them can stay at home without being affected.
So Bai Liu asked him to come over for a hot pot, and Lu Yizhan came out honestly.
But Lu Yizhan came out this time mainly to clarify the situation that day.
Lu Yizhan still didn't understand why the bureau had been so busy with this bombing case, and the situation of the day was broadcast urgently everywhere on the TV.
And Bai Liu, the culprit, could still sit beside him steadily, holding a cup of free barley tea presented by the hot pot restaurant, and shamelessly said to the clerk that he would add another shrimp slip.
Lu Yizhan grabbed the menu intolerably and stared at Bai Liu angrily.
Bai Liu took a sip of the tea slowly and glanced at him: "Why, did you want to ask me what happened that day?"
"No!" Lu Yizhan said painfully, "Even if I ask you, you can't add more dishes! There are six people at this point!"
Bai Liu: "..."
The brain circuit of this guy is really different from ordinary people.
Lu Yizhan didn't mention a word about the explosion that day, and it was as stable as Mount Tai.
If Bai Liu hadn't been sure that he saw this person that day, he might have thought that Lu Yizhan had no idea that [the bomber] was him.
"You are not curious about how I exploded the rose factory—" Bai Liu turned his head and looked up at Lu Yizhan, "—and then retired all over, can I still sit here and eat hot pot with you?"
Lu Yizhan nodded honestly: "Curious, but I will correct it a little."
Bai Liu asked: "What to correct?"
Lu Yizhan replied: "I think you didn't blow up the factory."
"Why isn't it me?" Bai Liu asked back, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"It's because I saw it with my own eyes, so I don't think it's you." Lu Yizhan raised his cup and took a sip, exhaling a long breath, "—perceptually speaking, I believe you will not easily violate it after trading with me. , From a rational point of view, your favorite thing is money."
Lu Yizhan turned his head and looked at Bai Liu: "When you detonate such a factory, I feel that you are not a vested interest, but the factory owner is a talent. So I guess from this perspective, I tend to be the arrested factory director, and you It's just a guise to jump out."
"I don't understand why you want to jump out and take the initiative, but you have your reasons for doing things, I just ask."
Lu Yizhan's speculation is correct and correct.
Bai Liu knew from an early age that Lu Yizhan was very smart.
Excellent grades, strong action, decisive action, never hesitate to do what he wants to do, is an incredibly persistent and stubborn guy.
Although Bai Liu had always won Lu Yizhan in various games, Bai Liu knew very well that he could win only because Lu Yizhan was not serious.
Lu Yizhan doesn't care about winning or losing the game. He spends all his ingenuity and energy to be a good person, so people who know him roughly will think that Lu Yizhan has an incomprehensible innocence and stupidity.
But Lu Yizhan is not actually a naive person. On the contrary, this person is very realistic—otherwise he won't accept Bai Liu's trading rules so easily.
Generally speaking, an emotionally naive person cannot accept that a friend pays for his contribution. This is too cool.
But Lu Yizhan didn't care about this at all, which shows that Lu Yizhan fully agrees with Bai Liu's trading concept.
Bai Liu held the ordering pencil in his hand and turned it boredly back and forth: "—Do you want to play backgammon?"
Lu Yizhan held the cup pretentiously and sighed in a long tone, and refused: "—When is it, are you still playing games—"
"Win three times in a row. I will tell you the follow-up of the factory explosion that you have been worried about." Bai Liu turned his pencil and drew a cross on the grid menu of the hot pot, opening his eyes. "If you can win five games in a row, I will help. You solve this matter."
Bai Liumian, who had already solved the factory explosion, took the same thing to fool Lu Yizhan without changing his face.
"Deal!" Lu Yizhan quickly took the bait. He put down the cup stubbornly and took the pen that Bai Liu handed him. After a moment of serious thought, he carefully drew a circle on the paper.
They played chess very fast. Almost the moment this person picked up the pen, the other person made the pen. There is no such kind of chess game that can be solved by drawing a whole piece of paper. The time of a game is basically controlled. Within a minute, the winning or losing was determined and immediately tore off the paper and threw it into the trash can.
When Tang Er called, the trash can next to the two men was full of waste paper.
Lu Yizhan's concentration was highly concentrated on the paper. He hardly noticed that someone was coming, but quickly followed Bai Liu's back hand in circles.
This situation continued until all five people arrived. Bai Liu closed the chess paper: "Pause, eat first, you have not won me in a row yet."
Lu Yizhan looked up regretfully, and was so scared that the crowd watching them neatly in front of him almost didn't turn over from behind the chair.
"Introduce, my new colleague." Bai Liu put up four fingers together and introduced them in turn, "Tang Erda, Mu Sicheng, Mu Ke, the kids you know, Liu Jiayi, and everyone, this is my faculty member. Lu Yizhan."
Mu Ke respectfully nodded his head and greeted: "Hello, Mr. Lu."
Mu Sicheng scratched his head uncomfortably: "...Hello."
Tang Er hit the board and nodded: "Hello."
Sitting on the chair, Liu Jiayi shook her feet and smiled sweetly at Lu Yizhan, "Uncle Lu is good."
Lu Yizhan looked at Liu Jiayi with a shocked look: "No?! What company do you work for, Bai Liu?! Why are you still employing child labor?!"
"If I have to say..." Bai Liu pondered for a moment, "A large star-making company?"
Lu Yizhan looked at the group of people who were neatly cleaned up and was about to blind him. He swallowed nervously and asked tremblingly: "Hey, is it legal?"
Bai Liu smiled: "Legal."
Lu Yizhan still wanted to ask Bai Liu about the specifics, but seeing this group of people were indifferent at all, they started to eat hot pot under Bai Liu's greetings, and had to swallow the doubts at the same time as the pain was painful.
… It’s no wonder that Bai Liu ordered so many items at once, so he was waiting here!
But soon, Lu Yizhan’s attention was diverted. Bai Liu started to play chess with him while eating hot pot. Lu Yizhan quickly plunged into the battle with Bai Liu. He didn’t even eat much food, so he concentrated on researching. Chess game.
Liu Jiayi had a small appetite and was almost done soon.
She moved a small bench and sat beside them watching the two men play chess.
Liu Jiayi wears visual contact lens props and can see, but Lu Yizhan, who plays chess seriously, has not noticed this for the time being.
The speed of the two people drawing a circle on the paper is getting faster and faster, and Bai Liu no longer eats leisurely while playing chess with Lu Yizhan, but turns around and stares at the paper with one arm supporting his jaw.
Liu Jiayi's face, who was on the sidelines, gradually became serious.
She looked up at Lu Yizhan in a weird manner—this guy looks like a good person, and his thought response can actually keep up with Bai Liu's pervert? !
And the winning side is getting bigger and bigger? !
Mu Ke was attracted by this duel, and quickly passed by to watch.
Mu Sicheng hadn't eaten enough, but was really curious about what Bai Liu was doing again, and ran over to look at it with a small bowl full of vegetables.
But the two men, Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan, went too fast, Mu Sicheng was dazzled, usually because he hadn't read the paper clearly, the two men had torn up and started over.
Mu Sicheng had to ask Mu Ke next to him: "What chess are they playing?"
"Gobang." Mu Ke replied.
Mu Sicheng became more and more confused: "I also think it is gomoku, but at most I only saw three moves connected and they tore the paper again..."
"Because it's a dead end." Mu Ke replied intently, "They should have played many times. They are very familiar with the chess surface, and they can tell the general idea after playing to a certain extent."
While speaking, Bai Liu had already lost two games in a row.
Mu Sicheng's eyes widened in surprise: "Bai Liu will actually lose the game..."
Mu Ke took a deep breath: "The test of a relatively simple game like Gomoku is thinking ability and reaction speed. Bai Liu's intelligence is extremely high, and it is logically dominant. This Lu Yizhan has indeed been losing at the beginning... "
"But in the process of playing chess with Bai Liu, his thinking ability and reaction speed are rising rapidly..."
"The longer you go, the stronger this Lu Post Station will be..."
"You mean that now Lu Yizhan has the upper hand, it's Bai Liu's turn to lose all the time, right?" Mu Sicheng looked at the paper incredulously.
The fact that Bai Liu and [Always Losing] are linked together is a violation of common sense in Mu Sicheng's eyes.
Bai Liu stopped writing and placed his fingers on the table with his fingers crossed, staring at the landing station without any expression on his face.
Lu Yizhan was still immersed in the atmosphere of fast chess. Seeing Bai Liu stopped writing, he looked up at Bai Liu dazedly: "Why don't you continue playing?"
"I can't win anymore." Bai Liu admitted this frankly. He got up and stood behind Liu Jiayi who was sitting aside, let Liu Jiayi sit in his place, smiled and looked at Lu Yizhan, "Next Jiayi will play for me. If you can win her three games in a row, our trade will remain the same."
Lu Yizhan frowned: "This little girl can't see, don't make such a joke..."
"Uncle Lu, I can see." Liu Jiayi pointed to her eyes and explained, "I wear the contact lenses that Uncle Bai Liu bought for me, which can restore part of my vision."
Liu Jiayi held her heart in her hands, blinked her eyes, and begged: "Uncle Lu, I think you guys also think it's fun to play. Can you let me play?"
"... It does not affect your eyes." After Lu Yizhan hesitated for a while, he still agreed.
Liu Jiayi condensed her well-behaved look, lowered her head and held the pencil that Bai Liu handed him, stared at the pen and paper, and drew the first cross.
Mu Sicheng was a little confused about the direction of this situation: "What's the situation?"
"Liu Jiayi's intelligence is higher than that of Bai Liu." Mu Ke's gaze was firmly locked on the paper. "She is more dominant in games like Gomoku-Bai Liu is testing Lu Yizhan's game intelligence."
Liu Jiayi was playing chess faster and faster. She smashed all the way, and Lu Yizhan, which had the advantage in Bai Liu's hands, began to lose again. It was very difficult to win once.
But soon this situation changed.
Liu Jiayi gritted her teeth and her expression became ugly. Her writing speed began to slow down, but looking at Lu Yizhan, his writing speed remained unchanged.
Mu Ke made a conclusion: "Liu Jiayi can't hold it anymore."
After half an hour, everyone left the hot pot restaurant. Lu Yizhan tearfully settled the hot pot money, and at the same time, he also gave out the money for the two books they used to play backgammon, and waved goodbye to Bai Liu and the others.
After Liu Jiayi sweetly said goodbye to Uncle Lu, her face sank as soon as Lu Yizhan turned her head: "Bai Liu, something is wrong with your friend."
"What's wrong?" Bai Liu held three paper balls in his hands. He slowly opened them. Inside were the last three rounds played by Liu Jiayi and Lu Yizhan.
-It is also Liu Jiayi's three consecutive losses.
"The simple game of Gobang is the easiest to measure the intelligence of a person." Liu Jiayi raised her head and looked at Bai Liu. "For a person with high intelligence, this game has no or very short hands-on time. For people with very low intelligence, playing this kind of game means losing all the time."
"There is no such a situation that the front will not, and the back will become stronger and stronger—" Liu Jiayi frowned and recalled the scene of just playing chess, and grabbed his hair irritably, "—especially the intelligence of the people in Lu Yizhan who are still following the battle. The value increases and keeps increasing, always suppressing you, it feels like this person’s intelligence is increasing—"
"—There is no limit, right?" Bai Liu squinted at Liu Jiayi, then raised his eyes to look at the back of Lu Yizhan, "I often have this feeling when I play games with him."
"But basically as long as I feel a little bit, he will let me win."
Liu Jiayi was startled: "Why today... he won't let you?"
"Perhaps I put what he wanted in front of me." Bai Liu turned around nonchalantly and bit the mint from the hot pot restaurant in his mouth. "So he decided to play the game with me seriously."
