As soon as the master of the chess hall finished speaking, Zhan Nanqing and others showed surprised looks on their faces.
Even Qiao Jing herself felt a little surprised.
The people watching looked at each other in confusion.
What development is this?
The owner actually invited this girl who "only knows a little" to play chess?!
The noisy jeers just now stopped abruptly, and the scene fell into silence, with everyone's eyes fixed on Qiao Jing.
Seeing that Qiao Jing didn't say anything, the owner asked again, "How are you? Girl, are you interested in playing another game?"
Qiao Jing suddenly thought of something and asked instead, "Excuse me, how long has this chess hall been open in this place?"
The owner of the museum smoothed his goatee, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's a long time, at least a hundred years!"
After hearing this, Qiao Jing pondered for a moment.
Such a large chess hall has been operating in Zhaocheng for many years, and from other people's words, it sounds like the owner of the hall is quite prestigious.
If we could make use of his connections and power, we might be able to find the person named Ming mentioned by Song Jiaqi faster.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jing said calmly: "Okay, I'll play with you."
Seeing that she agreed, the owner was very happy and immediately asked someone to replace the chessboard with a new one.
Zhan Nanqing was very surprised by this. She leaned close to Qiao Jing and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jing, are you okay?"
Everyone else in the group also looked at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing shook his head, "I don't know either, let's give it a try."
Anyway, even if she loses, she has nothing to lose!
So, Qiao Jing sat down in front of the chessboard and started playing chess with the owner.
She has a black chess piece, so she makes the first move.
The owner then paused.
The onlookers were very curious and glanced back and forth at the two players while not forgetting to keep an eye on the battle situation on the chessboard.
They all know that the master of the hall has superb chess skills and has few opponents.
But this girl who "only knows a little" turned out to be evenly matched against the owner of the gym!
Moreover, every time she makes a move, she does it without any rush or need to think too much, giving people a feeling of strategizing!
Qiao Jing actually didn't think about anything. The moment she picked up the chess pieces and looked at the trend on the chessboard, she naturally knew what to do next.
It was also at this time that she was 100% sure that she really knew how to play chess before, and her chess skills seemed pretty good!
The owner was still very relaxed at the beginning, still calculating how to take down the girl on the opposite side within a few steps.
But within ten seconds, he felt pressure and urgency.
He raised his head in shock and looked at his opponent in surprise.
This girl's chess skills are not inferior to him!!
Realizing this, the owner did not dare to slack off anymore and immediately dealt with it with great concentration, taking every step with extreme caution.
Seeing the chess game becoming increasingly tense, everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath and even breathed much lighter.
When masters compete, victory or defeat can often happen in the blink of an eye.
Before anyone could react, the host suddenly put the untouched chess pieces in his hand back into the chess jar next to him, and at the same time said, "Girl, you win."
Qiao Jing smiled calmly and said, "Cheng Rang."
After hearing the conversation between the two people and carefully looking at the situation on the chessboard, everyone present woke up.
For a moment, everyone looked shocked and surprised.
"This girl... actually defeated the owner?!"
"Looking at the way she was playing chess just now, it doesn't look like she won by chance. This girl really has two skills!"
"She beat the gym owner. Doesn't that mean her chess skills are even better than the gym owner!"
"Looking at her, she is only in her twenties. It is not easy to have such good chess skills at such a young age!"
"..."
Zhan Nanqing immediately looked at Qiao Jing with admiration, "Xiao Jing, it turns out you are so powerful!"
She finally discovered that excellent people are equally excellent no matter what they do!
Qiao Jing smiled but said nothing, she couldn't accept these words.
Because, before this, she didn't know she had this skill.
At this time, the owner of the museum spoke. He looked at Qiao Jing with surprise, but more of it was admiration.
"Girl, actually, as soon as you opened your mouth just now, I knew that your chess skills must be good. After all, no one else could see that there was still a chance of winning in that game, but you were the only one who saw it."
"However, I really didn't expect that you could win me. It shows that you are really very accomplished in this area! You are a rare chess master!"
After praising Qiao Jing, the owner suddenly thought of something and changed the topic: "By the way, I also have a Zhenlong chess game here. Girl, would you like to try it and see if you can crack it?"
"If you can crack this Zhenlong chess game, in addition to the condition just now, I can promise you one more thing. As long as it is not something harmful to nature, I will use all the power at hand to help you do it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Qiao Jing again.
Under the attention of everyone, Qiao Jing lightly raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Give it a try, there is still nothing to lose for her.
If it is cracked, she can get another promise from the owner.
This deal is quite a bargain!
After Qiao Jing agreed, the owner immediately set out to lay out the Zhenlong chess game.
As soon as the chess game was set up, Qiao Jing took a few glances and suddenly felt that the chess game seemed familiar.
It's like I've seen it in a book before, and it feels like I've done it with my own hands.
All in all, she must have seen this Zhenlong chess game before, otherwise she wouldn't feel so familiar!
Pulling away from his thoughts, Qiao Jing raised his eyes to look at the owner of the hall and asked, "Excuse me, who set up this chess game?"
The owner of the museum looked around and saw that everyone was staring curiously, obviously also wanting to know the answer to the question.
He was silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand to stroke his goatee, and then said to Qiao Jing: "This is a secret and cannot be disclosed. If you want to know, we can talk in another place."
Qiao Jing didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Come with me."
After saying this, the owner turned around and walked towards the inner room.
Qiao Jin stepped up to follow.
Zhan Nanjing and others also followed closely behind.
Soon, a group of people followed the owner into a room.
After the door closed, Qiao Jing looked at the owner with questioning eyes.
The owner did not mince words and said directly: "Actually, the Zhenlong chess game just now was set up by Doctor Jing before."
Upon hearing this, all the faces of the group, without exception, showed a look of astonishment.
Zhan Qipei's eyes moved slightly, and he was the first to ask, "Are you sure the person who set up this chess game is Dr. Jing?"
If what this person said is true, doesn’t it mean that Qiao Jing has also been here?!
"Of course I'm sure."
The owner's tone was very certain.
As soon as the chat box was opened, he couldn't help but want to say a few more words, "But to be honest, I didn't expect that Doctor Jing was such a young girl at the beginning. The main reason why I was able to confirm the identity of Doctor Jing was
