What made Chen Yang feel even more coincidental was that after the two girls turned the corner and walked straight ahead, they stopped in front of his uncle's house and pressed the doorbell.
There was no need to say more; it was obvious that these two were his cousin's classmates!
Chen Yang followed the two girls at a steady pace and slowly arrived at his uncle's house.
This action immediately put the two girls on alert. They glanced at Chen Yang, who was following them, and whispered to each other.
Fortunately, the security door opened at that moment. A gentle and refined man in his forties, wearing glasses, looked at the two girls kindly, "Are you Xiaorou's classmates?"
"Yes, Uncle, hello!"
The two girls quickly greeted the man politely.
"Good, come in quickly. Xiaorou has been waiting for you for a long time."
The man was about to step aside when he suddenly saw Chen Yang coming from behind and smiled, "Xiaoyang, you're here too."
"Uncle."
Chen Yang nodded. The man with a gentle demeanor was his uncle, Xia Zhenghe.
The two girls did not expect that the suspicious man following them was actually their classmate's cousin. They had just whispered about whether he was a bad person, and now they felt a bit awkward.
The three of them took off their shoes and entered the house. The two-story house, with an area of over 220 square meters, gave a first impression of elegance and grandeur, making people feel relaxed.
"Oh, you're here!"
With clear and bright eyes, arched eyebrows, and flawless skin, the girl who bounced out of the room was Chen Yang's cousin, Xia Yurou.
"Xiaorou, happy birthday!"
The two girls happily greeted her, wishing their good friend a happy birthday.
"Xiaorou, you're being impolite, not even calling your brother?"
Xia Zhenghe's face turned displeased when he saw his daughter ignore Chen Yang.
Xia Yurou completely ignored her father's words and led her two friends to her room, "Come on, I'll show you something good."
Not expecting to be ignored by his daughter as well, Xia Zhenghe was truly a bit angry.
"Uncle, it's fine, don't be angry. Kids are like that."
Chen Yang quickly calmed his uncle to avoid a confrontation. He knew that he had offended his cute cousin in the past, so it was no wonder she ignored him.
"Ah, kids these days, they're becoming more and more disobedient."
Xia Zhenghe sighed, "Alright, your aunt is in the kitchen. Why don't you come and play a game of chess with me? You haven't been here for a long time, and your chess skills must have declined."
As soon as the topic of chess came up, Xia Zhenghe became spirited, while Chen Yang's face turned pale. He wanted to avoid it but didn't dare to refuse. He knew how astonishing his uncle's chess skills were, and facing him, he felt like a clay doll being molded at will.
No one likes to be tortured!
Chen Yang liked it even less!
Being tortured by an alien was bad enough, but being tortured by a fellow human was even more unbearable.
However, Chen Yang couldn't refuse his uncle's request.
Xia Zhenghe, apart from work, found his greatest pleasure in playing chess during his free time. Although he might not be invincible in the East Sea, in his circle of acquaintances, he had never encountered a worthy opponent. The satisfaction of seeing others lose was something he couldn't share with others.
Sitting on the sofa, he took out the chessboard that was already prepared, and the two of them familiarly set up the pieces, starting the first game.
In Chinese chess, the opening moves are generally divided into four major types: Cannon, Pawn, Elephant, and Horse. Among them, the "Fairy's Guidance," "Screening Horse," and "5-7 Run" are famous opening moves. Chen Yang started with a "Horse and Cannon Struggle," which is a "Head Cannon" against a "Screening Horse."
Xia Zhenghe was unhurried and smiled as he responded. After each move Chen Yang made, he responded at the same speed, whether Chen Yang played fast or slow, without needing to think, and placed the piece with a "thud."
If it were the old Chen Yang, he would have been unable to maintain his composure and would have been quickly defeated.
But today was different from the past. After repeated punishment and training with his right hand, even the most impatient person would become calm, and Chen Yang was no exception.
Now, whether he was walking or doing things, he exuded a steady and trustworthy aura. The secret was simple: fear of pain.
Thus, Xia Zhenghe's attempt to disrupt Chen Yang's rhythm failed, which surprised him.
He nodded in understanding and praised, "Xiaoyang, you finally have the demeanor of a grown-up."
Chen Yang smiled bitterly. Although he was much calmer than before, his chess skills were still far behind Xia Zhenghe's. After five minutes of struggling, he was checkmated and lost.
"Good, good, good, I didn't expect you to be so much better than before. I was worried your skills had declined."
Xia Zhenghe was very satisfied. He hadn't had such a satisfying game in a long time. If the opponent was always weak, the game would be boring. Only when a skilled player faces another skilled player does the game have meaning.
In Xia Zhenghe's view, Chen Yang was undoubtedly a skilled chess player.
Therefore, the joy of defeating a skilled player was different from before.
"Alright, let's play another game."
After about ten minutes, Chen Yang, who had lost three games, "bitterly pleaded" and finally received permission to go to the bathroom.
Familiar with the way, Chen Yang came to the bathroom with a worried look, preparing to use his left hand to relieve himself.
Why could he only use his left hand to relieve himself?
Chen Yang had no choice. The first time he tried to relieve himself after the parasitic infection, his right hand slapped him and threatened that if he dared to use his right hand to touch his "dirty" reproductive organs, he would never be able to function as a male. This scared him so much that he vowed never to use his right hand for any excretory activities.
This action, which was initially unfamiliar, had become a habit. Chen Yang sadly realized that he had truly changed.
"Did you lose such a simple game just now?"
His right hand suddenly woke up, startling Chen Yang.
"Screw, Commander Screw, you're awake?"
"I've been awake for about ten minutes."
The right hand's waking and sleeping were unpredictable. Chen Yang quickly recovered from the shock and felt a bit不服气 (unwilling to admit defeat): "That game, in our human world, is called chess. Many people like to play it, and I'm considered a skilled player. But my uncle is a master among masters, so it's normal that I can't beat him."
The right hand was too lazy to argue with Chen Yang. After observing for a while and understanding the rules of the game, it found that both players made numerous mistakes.
Limited by their pitiful intelligence, they could only predict the next five to six moves in this simple game. Essentially, they relied more on past experience, seeing who made fewer mistakes!
Indeed, it wasn't about making as few mistakes as possible, but simply hoping to make fewer mistakes than the opponent.
Winning by such means was truly pitiful.
However, it couldn't punish Chen Yang for this. This was not due to a mistake in the host's experience or an unforgivable habit, but rather a limitation of human capabilities.
This so-called capability tightly bound humans, preventing them from advancing further.
But perhaps there was a way!
The right hand's thoughts stirred. This method seemed interesting, though it involved a bit of risk. However, if it succeeded, it would definitely benefit them, who were "sharing life and death."
It was worth a try!
With a firm decision, the right hand said, "I have a method that can help you win easily."
"Win?"
Chen Yang asked suspiciously, "What method?"
An image of drugging Xia Zhenghe to win the game flashed through his mind.
To drug a relative just to win a game? That was too damn crazy!
Chen Yang shook his head to dispel the terrifying thought. Even if the right hand really intended to do this, he would never agree.
"It's simple, make your brain run at an overclocked speed!"
"What?"
