Chapter 390 Evenly Matched?
Upon hearing that Li Huaide wanted to play chess with him, Li Qin couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
I don't know which time it was, but it was one of those times when Li Qin came to Li Huaide's house.
While their aunt Mingyu was cooking, Li Huaide and Li Qin decided to play chess to pass the time.
Before he transmigrated, Li Qin knew how to play chess.
Or to be more precise, he knows many things.
They're not very proficient in any of them; at best, they're only at the average level when it comes to things like chess.
However, whether it's chess or Go, it all boils down to a contest of calculation ability.
After Li Qin transmigrated, he merged with a godhood, which greatly enhanced not only his learning abilities but also his calculation abilities.
As a result, when playing chess with Li Huaide, Li Qin could easily crush Li Huaide.
And this is without him using his divine computing abilities.
In order not to make Li Huaide look too bad, Li Qin not only needed to conserve his strength, but also needed to find a way to let the other party hold back without them noticing.
Anyone who has played chess knows that simply winning or losing a game is not difficult; what is difficult is playing like Li Qin.
It's just too exhausting.

If given a choice, Li Qin really wouldn't want to play chess with Li Huaide.
Therefore, Li Qin's eyes showed difficulty when he heard Li Huaide bring up the matter of playing chess.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in Li Qin's eyes, and an idea formed in his mind:
"Or should I go all out and let my cheap uncle enjoy the feeling of being crushed?"
Li Qin believed that as long as he ruthlessly crushed Li Huaide a few times, the other party would never mention playing chess with him again.
This might be a solution that solves the problem once and for all.
After thinking it over, Li Qin gave up on the plan.
It's mainly unsuitable.
If he really did that, Li Huaide would have a hard time facing him in the future.
It might even affect their relationship.
While Li Qin was struggling with this, Li Huaide had already set up the chessboard.
Li Huaide immediately waved to Li Qin;
"Xiao Qin, come quick!"
Hearing the other party's summons, Li Qin sighed helplessly in his heart:
"Fine, let's do it for your aunt's sake."
Li Qin glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then slowly walked over and sat down opposite Li Huaide.
The next period will be a close contest between Li Qin and Li Huaide on the chessboard.
Of course, this is just Li Huaide's feeling.
For Li Qin, this was not a close contest at all; it was torture.
Fortunately, Mingyu cooked quickly enough that the food was almost finished when they were nearing the end of their meal, so Li Qin was able to get away with it.
However, the reason why Mingyu was able to cook the meal so quickly was largely because they had prepared and processed all the ingredients in advance.
Mingyu already had a plan in mind for what kind of food to cook.
That's why it was able to move so quickly.
"Alright, time to eat!"
At Mingyu's call, Li Qin and Li Huaide quickened their pace of playing chess.
By the time all the food was served, the game of chess between the two was coming to an end.
"General!"
Finally, with Li Qin's decisive victory, Li Huaide was completely trapped in a desperate situation.
Once he realized there was no way out, Li Huaide didn't try to cheat and surrendered without hesitation.
Although he lost the game, Li Huaide showed no dissatisfaction or unhappiness; on the contrary, his face was full of joy.
"It's definitely more comfortable playing chess with you, Xiao Qin. Unlike other people, I'm afraid to win when I play chess with them, so it's not fun at all."
Li Qin knew that the people Li Huaide was talking about were probably from the steel rolling mill.
Li Huaide already had a strong background and held real power in the steel rolling mill, so few people were willing to offend him.
Not to mention Li Huaide now, whose power is even greater than before.
Those who played chess with him naturally dared not beat him, and Li Huaide himself knew why.
Therefore, when Li Huaide encountered Li Qin, who did not give him any leeway in chess, he felt not the slightest dissatisfaction, but rather great excitement.
He felt that only in this way could one truly play chess.
However, when Li Qin heard his words, a look of speechlessness flashed in his eyes.
Li Qin was almost too tired to speak at this point.
If it weren't for saving Li Huaide's face, Li Qin was confident he could have wiped out the enemy in just a few minutes.
It would never have been like this, taking about twenty minutes from start to finish.
And in the end, it still looked like a narrow victory.
Perhaps Li Qin acted so well that Li Huaide was completely unaware of the true difference between them, and thought they were evenly matched.
Although he was somewhat speechless inside, Li Qin still responded with a smile;
"I'm different from those people, so I don't need to think so much. I just play however I feel like it."
Despite uttering words against his conscience, Li Qin's expression remained completely expressionless.
Upon hearing his words, Li Huaide nodded subconsciously.
"Come and eat!"
Just as Li Huaide was about to say something more, Mingyu called out again.
Upon hearing this, Li Huaide immediately stopped himself from saying the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Then, Li Qin and Li Huaide didn't even put away the chessboard and went straight to the dining table.
Suddenly, Li Qin stopped in his tracks.
Li Qin clapped his hands, then said with a smile:
"Oh dear, I almost forgot!"
Li Huaide and Mingyu looked at Li Qin with puzzled expressions, not quite understanding what he was talking about.
Li Qin didn't explain, but walked straight to the coffee table and opened the cloth bag he had brought with him.
When he came to Li Huaide's house, he brought two bulging cloth bags, which were filled with gifts for Li Huaide and Mingyu.
These gifts were just taken out and given to the two of them.
Now there's only one thing left in the bag.
When Li Qin took them out, Li Huaide and Mingyu realized that they were actually two common aluminum lunch boxes.
"I almost forgot about this."
Li Qin took his lunchbox and sat down at the dining table.
"Xiao Qin, what is this?"
Mingyu asked with some curiosity.
Li Huaide, standing to the side, also looked puzzled, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Just now, when Li Qin brought the lunchbox over, Li Huaide faintly smelled a familiar scent.
Before he could even recall what kind of fragrance it was, Li Huaide's body reacted instinctively.
He swallowed unconsciously.
"Could it be...?"
Li Huaide immediately had some doubts.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at the lunchbox.
"Auntie, this is a delicious dish that I tasted by chance when I went to the countryside to buy things. I thought it was so good that I wanted to bring it back for you to try as well."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Mingyu's face immediately lit up with a smile, and her eyes flashed with emotion.
He subconsciously whispered:
"Good boy, good boy!"
