If Cheng Qiangian had been playing with a jestful mindset during the match with Kai Yuan, then she was concentrating half of her abilities when she was playing against Guan Jing.

It had to be said that Guan Jing was a rare chess expert. It was no wonder that no matter how many rising stars there were in the outside world, they would always be defeated in the Go tournament all these years.

Unfortunately, it was Cheng Qianqian that Guan Jing had run into this time.

The match had been going on for less than half an hour when Guan Jing suddenly put down the game piece in his hand and smiled helplessly. “There is indeed someone with abilities beyond me. I’ve lost this match.”

Cheng Qianqian nodded. “Thank you. You’re very outstanding yourself.”

Everyone’s jaws dropped. No one had expected that the most brilliant star of the Firth Royal College, the Go Saint that the empire rarely saw in a hundred years, would lose to a country bumpkin!

“alright, I now officially announce that the winner of the 38th Firth Royal College Go Tournament is Cheng Qianqian!”

Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he tugged on Lan in disbelief. “Am I dreaming?! Quick, pinch my face!”

Lan snapped and pinched his cheeks hard.

Yu Xuan almost jumped up in pain, but it meant that he was not dreaming!

Cheng Qianqian had really won! She had defeated Guan Jing and won the championship!

“Cheng Qianqian is the champion! Cheng Qiangian is the champion!” Yu Xuan cheered.

Lan joined in. “Ah Qian is the best! Ah Qian is the best!”

The venue that was lively earlier was now abnormally quiet. Only Lan and Yu Xuan’s cheers could be heard. Everyone was so shocked that they couldn’t speak. No one was willing to admit this fact.

Even the school’s management could not believe that the champion of the Go tournament was such a person!

However, the reality was right in front of their eyes even if they were unwilling to admit it. They could only brace themselves and go forward to present the award.

“Congratulations, Student Cheng.”

Cheng Qianqian was not interested in the trophy and honors. She was only concerned about the prize money. “Principal, may I know when will the bonus be awarded?”

The principal was stunned for a moment. Was this the time to be concerned about this? Shouldn’t a normal person be crying tears of joy, and giving a long speech while holding the trophy? Words like thanking their parents and their school??

Guan Jing grinned. He cleared his throat and said seriously, “According to the usual practice, it will probably be transferred to your account by tomorrow. By the way, did you submit your bank card when you entered the school? You can use it in school.”

Cheng Qianqian thought about it and shook her head.

Guan Jing frowned. “Then write down the relevant details of your bank card. I’m going to the Academic Affairs Office later and I’ll bring it over for you.”

“Thank you, Teacher Guan.”

Cheng Qianqian couldn’t care less about the trophy. She stuffed it into the principal’s hands and found a pen, but she couldn’t find any paper, so she pulled Guan Jing’s hand over and wrote down her bank account number on his palm.

Guan Jing. “…” He had never seen a girl who loved money so much!

‘The award ceremony ended in a weird atmosphere. Cheng Qiangian did not stay in school and instead, she dragged Yu Xuan and Lan to the underground casino in the city.

Lan looked for the boy who had helped the last time and then got Yu Xuan to accompany him while she and Cheng Qianqian waited at the KFC nearby.

“[heard that the odds had already risen to 1 to 200 when you were still competing! We bet 500,000, so 200 times would be…” Lan frowned and began counting her fingers.

“100 million.”
