David, the base station commander, looked at Yang Xiao in surprise.
Indeed, since he became the head of the base ten years ago, his mental training has almost stagnated. Although he has thought of many ways and even spent a lot of money to find Go masters to play against, the improvement of his mental power is still very slow. .
He always felt vaguely that something was wrong with him, but he could never find the problem.
Now that I heard Yang Xiao say it, I was shocked.
Yang Xiao picked up the tea cup next to him, which contained strange juice for restoring mental strength.
I took a small sip,
Looking at David opposite, he smiled slightly and said:
"We people on earth have a saying that the sea is open to all rivers and is big. Although I have not been practicing spiritual power for a long time, I have discovered that spiritual power is a person's mental state. Once a person is in a state of complacency and pride, his It will be difficult to improve your mental strength.”
When Yang Xiao said this, he paused and looked at David opposite.
David's heart skipped a beat, his face looked a little embarrassed, and he said:
"What do you mean, Young Master Yang?"
"I played a game of chess with you this morning. At that time, I only beat you by 3 pieces. In your impression, your chess skills and mine should be about the same. There should be an element of luck in winning or losing. So, you don't Convinced,
After breakfast, you played chess with me again. As a result, you lost again. Every time you lost, you were unconvinced and asked for another game. However, the losses became worse each time. At this time, your heart I didn’t admit defeat, but felt uncomfortable, ashamed, and even angry. I put it this way, right? "
David looked at Yang Xiao in surprise,
"You, how do you know?"
"It's very simple. Anyone can see it. Your words and deeds have already explained everything.
In fact, your reaction is also normal. You are the boss of the base. Regardless of your genetic evolution level or mental strength, your Go skills are the worthy boss of the base.
Over time, this self-awareness that I am the best in the world has gradually solidified. Once someone challenges you in the base, your first reaction is to defeat the opponent, suppress the opponent, and consolidate your position as the boss.
However, your mentality has also had a huge side effect on your spiritual cultivation. You have no humility and will not learn from the strengths and weaknesses of others. Your spiritual power is in a self-enclosed state. How can it be improved? ? "
Yang Xiao bluntly pointed out the cause of David's mental illness.
In fact, this was said to him by one of his senior sisters before.
Yang Xiao has a certain talent for Go. When he was in junior high school, he had already killed all the Go masters in his hometown of Dezhou City. He gradually developed a complacent mentality, and he had a mentality that he was the best in the world.
I don't like some chess records and even the chess games played by celebrities on the Internet, or I don't have the humility to learn. I think it's just the same thing. As long as I study long enough, I can do it myself.
It was also from this time that Yang Xiao's Go level entered a bottleneck period and could not be improved for a long time until his father took him to the Xiangnan Go Academy and became the master of Chen Guohua, the proud disciple of Nie Shuai, the Chinese national chess saint at that time.
When Yang Xiao participated in the Dezhou City Youth Go Competition and won the championship, Chen Guohua was the director of the judges, and the trophy was personally awarded by Master Chen Guohua.
When Yang Xiao became a disciple, Chen Guohua played chess with him for half a game on the spot. Yang Xiao was naturally killed and was unable to resist.
Later, Chen Guohua called a beautiful woman with classical temperament, pointed at Yang Xiao and said:
"This is my junior brother. I'll leave it to you to take care of him from now on."
When Yang Xiao saw this beautiful senior sister, his face turned red, "So beautiful!"
Later, Yang Xiao learned that this beautiful woman was named Chen Yao, the daughter of Chen Guohua. At that time, she was already a member of the Chinese national Go team. She competed in the Fuji Cup in Japan and the Samsung Cup in South Korea and won many awards.
Chen Yao played Go with Yang Xiao every week. As time went by, she found that Yang Xiao's progress was very slow. She asked Yang Xiao carefully about his situation, and then said what Yang Xiao said just now.
Because Chen Yao also went through the same bottleneck period.
Most talented masters go through a process of learning, being amazed, becoming complacent, awakening, learning again, and taking off.
Since then, Yang Xiao has completely changed his mentality. (In fact, after entering the Xiangnan Go Academy as a teacher, his proud and complacent heart was shattered long ago). He studies humbly and makes rapid progress in his art.
Through the four-game chess match with David this morning, Yang Xiao saw David's attitude of refusing to admit defeat and immediately thought of his original state, so he came up with the above inference.
The expression on David's face immediately stiffened, and he looked at Yang Xiao blankly.
He knows his own affairs best. In the past, no expert could point out his problems. Now Yang Xiao is like a sharp needle, unceremoniously pricking his over-inflated balloon.
Scenes from the past flashed through my mind,
The arrogance in David's heart was like the air in a balloon, slowly released through the eye of the needle.
Yes, since he became the base station manager ten years ago, his mentality has indeed begun to expand in this relatively closed base station.
The base station is surrounded by forests and barren mountains for hundreds of kilometers, and there are few opportunities for contact with the outside world.
As the boss, David only goes out a few times a month and spends most of his time inside the base station. Here, he is the boss and the king, and it is impossible not to have an inflated mentality.
Besides, without anyone to challenge him, how could his skills improve?
David's mouth twitched a few times, he took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao was stunned, quickly stood up and shook his hands wildly:
"Oh, Mr. Station Master, what are you doing? You are really embarrassing me. My subordinates are talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart!"
"Young Master Yang, no, Master Yang, you are really my soulmate. What do you mean by waking up the dreamer with just one word? You are it!"
"Hey, Mr. Webmaster, it's not that I'm very smart. It's just that your subordinates are afraid of you. Maybe they have seen your problem for a long time, but they didn't dare to tell you.
I'm different. I'm a dead man. I'm young and ignorant, and I speak out loud. By the way, please don't blame me. "
"Master Yang, look at what you said. You pointed out the problem that has troubled me for ten years. Although I am a bit arrogant and bossy, I can still distinguish right from wrong.
In fact, what you just said about my subordinates is only half right. They are indeed afraid of me and dare not point out my shortcomings. However, they do not have your superb chess skills or your vision, so naturally they cannot see it. the nature of the problem. "
David deeply admired Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao took the initiative to win a small victory over David in the first game in the morning. Firstly, he took care of his face, and secondly, he also showed his ability and wanted to leave a deep impression on him.
To be honest, if Yang Xiao wants to survive on the Ziyuan planet and free himself from his status as an absentee, he needs to show some real skills and gain David's approval.
In terms of genetic evolution, his level was too low to arouse everyone's recognition. It happened that he had some talent in Go, which came in handy.
He had already received recognition from Luo Meng on this point, so he was naturally not afraid that David would disapprove of it.
But he didn't expect that David was not as humble as Luo Meng and could not easily gain the other party's approval. In the end, he simply went all out and killed the other party until he knelt down, completely defeating the other party and convincing him.
Pointing out the obstacles to the progress of David's chess skills is a common problem in the Go world. Yang Xiao, as an earthling and a citizen of the Chinese nation where Go was born, is naturally familiar with this.
David was able to become the base's webmaster, so naturally he was not a fool. After realizing his shortcomings, he suddenly came to his senses.
There is a master-level expert in front of him, how could he waste such a good opportunity?
"Plop" sound,
David knelt in front of Yang Xiao,
"Master Yang, would you please accept me as your disciple?"
Yang Xiao: ""
Damn it, are you playing so big?
