The Secret to Picking Up Girls

In an instant, Zhang Yuze dismissed the possibility. However, Zhang Yuze was very curious how this old man could play chess by himself. After thinking about it, he decided to walk over.

Arriving in front of the chessboard, the Chu River and Han border were clearly divided into two sides, one attacking and one defending. In Zhang Yuze's opinion, this ability to multitask was probably no less than that of the Old Imp of the past.

"Young man, do you know how to play chess?" The old man raised his head, his eyes full of hope as he looked at Zhang Yuze.

"Of course I do." Zhang Yuze couldn't help but nod.

"Really? Then come and play a game with me." The old man was overjoyed when he heard that Zhang Yuze knew how to play chess, and grabbed Zhang Yuze's hand.

"Uh, but I'm here to find someone, not to play chess." Zhang Yuze couldn't help but sweat a little, and quickly waved his hand at the old man.

"Looking for someone? Play a game of chess with me first." The old man didn't care what Zhang Yuze said, and insisted on setting up the chess pieces and playing a game with him.

Zhang Yuze had no choice. Thinking that the old man was quite lonely by himself, and that playing a game wouldn't hurt anything, he agreed and played a game with him.

Originally, Zhang Yuze thought that the old man's chess skills would be very skilled, and that he would be very experienced and sharp. But when Zhang Yuze actually played against the old man, he realized that the old man's chess skills were really bad. He often placed his pieces under Zhang Yuze's pieces, allowing them to be eaten. Moreover, he used the horse very poorly, and Zhang Yuze repeatedly used the chariot to crush it to death. In no time at all, Zhang Yuze eliminated the old man's general.

"That doesn't count, let's play another game. I just wasn't paying attention." The old man immediately started to play rogue when he saw that he had lost, and insisted that Zhang Yuze play another game with him.

There was no way around it. Seeing that the old man wouldn't let him leave without playing, Zhang Yuze had no choice but to play a few more games with him. This time, Zhang Yuze didn't hold back at all. With a few consecutive chariot, horse, and cannon combinations that were perfect, he immediately checkmated the opponent.

Playing chess is a very brain-intensive activity, and the old man was also a little overwhelmed. After playing a few games, he rubbed his temples, and then looked at Zhang Yuze with a satisfied expression and asked, "Young man, who are you here to find? Tell me, maybe I know."

The reason why Zhang Yuze was willing to play chess with the old man was for this. Hearing this, he smiled and said to him, "Old man, I'm here to find an old man named Liu Yuanzong."

Hearing Zhang Yuze's words, the old man glanced at Zhang Yuze with some surprise, and asked curiously, "What are you looking for him for? Do you know him?"

"Hehe, I'm his granddaughter's... uh, friend. I heard that Grandpa Liu's painting skills are very good, so I came to ask for advice." Zhang Yuze said to the old man with a pre-prepared excuse.

"Oh, so you are Ting丫头's classmate! That girl hasn't been here for a long time. Yuanzong is a very eccentric old boy. The folks here in the surrounding villages don't get along with him, only I'm not afraid of him. But since you're here to learn to paint, and you're also his precious granddaughter's friend, I don't think he should make things too difficult for you!" The old man took a puff of his pipe and said to Zhang Yuze with a chuckle.
