In the study.
Zhang Ye was eating and playing Go at the same time.
Outside, Wu Zeqing walked in.
Zhang Ye asked, "Did you get a call from our mom?"
Wu Zeqing nodded.
Zhang Ye blinked and said, "Did our dad get jealous?"
"Something like that." Wu Zeqing walked up behind him and looked at him, then at the game on the computer screen. She asked, "Oh yes, Little Ye, what was the account name of the person you kicked just now?"
Zhang Ye still hadn't reacted. "Which one?"
Old Wu said, "The one you said you wanted to play Go with when you came into the room."
"Oh, that newcomer?" Zhang Ye placed a stone down and said nonchalantly, "I think he's called Xiang-something, but I can't remember. Oh yes, he's called Xiang Rong?"
Wu Zeqing was speechless.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Ye didn't understand.
Wu Zeqing smiled. "It's nothing. You can continue."
Zhang Ye nodded and pointed to the screen. "Our dad is playing like a god this game. If this bro hadn't held back earlier, I wouldn't have been able to defend against him. He's the black stone and placed his stone first, so he has a greater advantage in the opening. That's why I'm in a rather passive position now and can only slowly look for opportunities to trick him from time to time. Haha, look, look, what I said has come true. I can trick him again here! Hehehe. "
He laughed sinisterly. He didn't even think about this move and directly hit it!
Zhang Ye boasted, "How was it, Old Wu? This move wasn't bad, right? "
It was far more than just good!
This move allowed him to close the gap by at least two or three points!
"… Who did you learn Go from?"
"Go? The earliest was a primary school teacher, then a middle school extracurricular teacher. "
"That's all?"
"That's all. What's the matter?"
"Well, it's nothing."
"Why don't I let our dad play a game?"
"There's no need to. Just play well this game."
"Alright, then I won't hold back anymore!"
...
An hour.
Two hours.
It was already past 8 PM.
However, not only did the people from China Qiyuan not leave, more and more people showed up. A lot of them were sitting there with a box of steamed buns in their arms, their eyes glued to the game on the screen. They couldn't take their eyes off it! Several 9-dan players and the national Go team coaches who were resting at home also rushed over when they heard the news.
These people came in and asked, "How is it?"
Xu Han 8-dan was the closest to him. He turned his head around and said, "He's already at the middle stage!"
One of them hurriedly asked, "Who has the greater advantage?"
The others also looked up at the screen.
Chen Ying 7-dan walked up and said, "Master Xiang is playing black, so he definitely has the advantage on the board. But if we take into account the final sticker, the two of them are almost evenly matched. Neither of them managed to gain an advantage!"
"Damn!"
"How can this person be so powerful?"
"Where did he come from?"
"Even Xiang Rong 9-dan can't take him down?"
"More importantly, is this a f * cking amateur?"
"Who is he?"
"You have to ask Long River Laoshi about this. He's the only one who knows about it. No one else knows about it!"
"Shh, keep it down. I heard that Teacher Changhe somehow provoked him, so this YE fellow came knocking on his door!"
At this moment, Li Qinqin also arrived at the Qiyuan.
"Madam!"
"Mistress, why are you here?"
"Aunt Li."
"Aunt Li."
Everyone knew her and greeted her.
Li Qinqin asked, "Where's Changhe?"
Tian Weiwei immediately pointed. "Teacher is over there. He's arguing with President Dan."
When Li Qinqin went over, she heard Wu Changhe and Dan Donghe arguing.
Dan Donghe said loudly, "Brother Wu, you must get this person over to our side!"
Wu Changhe rolled his eyes. "He's just an amateur. Why do you want him!"
"Have you seen an amateur like him before?" Dan Donghe pointed at the big screen in a speechless manner and said, "For him to be able to fight Little Xiang to this extent, no matter what kind of amateur he is, I want him!"
Li Qinqin said, "Old Dan."
Wu Changhe frowned. "Hey, why are you here?"
Dan Donghe immediately said, "Sister Li, our Qiyuan wants this person. I gave him special permission to join and officially participate in the professional tournament this year. I will reserve a spot for him on the national team next year! Can you get him over to our side? No, there's no need for that. Just tell me who he is. I have a way to convince him! I will definitely get him over to our side! "
Wu Changhe curled his lips and said, "Forget it."
When Li Qinqin heard that, she gave a wry smile and said, "Old Dan, I think we should forget about it."
"Why?" Dan Donghe was so desperate for talent that he was getting anxious!
Li Qinqin said helplessly, "You guys really can't convince this person. Changhe is right, he's really an amateur. Besides, there's no way he'll join the China Qiyuan."
"Getting into the national team and becoming a national Go player, how big of a reputation is that?" Dan Donghe said.
Li Qinqin sighed. "The one thing he doesn't lack is fame."
Dan Donghe said, "Then what about the money? A Go player at his level should earn at least a few million a year. It might sound a little tacky, but I don't believe that he won't be tempted. Would he be able to earn that much if he were in any other line of work? "
Li Qinqin did not know how to answer him. "I think he really can. Besides, if he wants to earn money, it's impossible that he only earns a few million a year. A few million a month should be more like it."
Dan Donghe was stunned. "What?" He looked at Wu Changhe. "Are you serious?"
Wu Changhe grunted and did not say a word. That was clearly an answer.
"But …" Dan Donghe was still unwilling to give up. He said anxiously, "In the field of Go, if he were to join us, he would be one of the top players. Compared to being in the middle or upper echelons of other lines of work …"
Li Qinqin broke out in a sweat and interrupted, "But Old Dan, in other lines of work." She thought for a moment and said, "From what I know, he's also one of the top players in those lines of work."
Dan Donghe was speechless.
Fuck!
Can we still have a conversation?
Can we still have a proper conversation?
Dan Donghe was close to tears.
When the other Qiyuan leaders and players nearby heard that, they were also extremely shocked!
Tens of millions a year?
Very famous?
A top player in another line of work?
Dan Donghe asked, "Sister Li, just who is this person?"
Li Qinqin threw up her hands. "Without his consent, I don't know if I should say it or not. In any case, if you want him to join the Go circle, it's probably impossible."
Dan Donghe let out a long sigh. "Hai! What a pity! What a pity! "
Wu Changhe sneered. "What's there to pity about, Old Dan? If you really managed to get him to join us, you'd be the unlucky one. If that kid were to join us, he would definitely turn the entire Go world upside down. The entire Go world would not be at peace!" Wu Changhe usually did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry. But it was obvious that ever since Zhang Ye had visited him yesterday, he had either investigated or heard a lot about Zhang Ye's deeds and news. He had already done a lot of research on him.
Li Qinqin glanced at him. "Don't keep talking about him. I think he's quite a good person."
"That's you. I just can't stand the sight of him!" Wu Changhe said angrily.
This day was really the longest day of Wu Changhe's life. When had he ever been killed like this in the Go field before? Never! This was the first time!
Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm!
"He's surrounded!"
"The white stones' right corner is in danger!"
"Great move!"
"Lord Xiang is mighty!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Dan Donghe, Wu Changhe, and the others immediately looked over.
Immediately, Wu Changhe laughed heartily. He slapped his thigh and said happily, "Good, good!"
But the next moment, when the white stones were placed, the entire venue burst into an uproar again!
Wu Changhe's expression darkened again!
Li Qinqin found it very funny.
"Holy shit!"
"This … this …"
"He's broken the game!"
"White has broken the game!"
"The right corner is actually alive!"
"This is so exciting!"
"Aiyo, I'm breaking out in cold sweat!"
"That can even be fucking saved?"
"White has become a god!"
"Damn, whose side are you on?"
"Fuck, of course I'm on Lord Xiang's side. But White's move is really good! To be able to make such a move, he's definitely one of the top three players in the world! "
Everyone was exclaiming!
Then, the game turned dull once again.
It was already midway through the game. The two of them started a positional battle where they both played very conservatively. Neither of them made any rash moves!
Half an hour.
An hour.
It was almost 10 PM.
Neither of them took the initiative. The game was still in a stalemate!
When Li Qinqin saw that Zhang Ye was actually able to hold his own against the current world number one Xiang Rong 9-dan, she felt an indescribable sense of shock and bewilderment. This Little Zhang was really too capable. How did he know everything? And how did he do so well in every industry?
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
Xiang Rong yawned and laughed as he typed a message. This was the first time Xiang Rong had spoken to YE since the game started: "If we continue to play until the game ends, it'll take at least five or six hours. We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning, so let's call it a day. I'm tired, so it's time to sleep."
Everyone was stunned!
He's not playing anymore?
Lord Xiang is not playing anymore?
YE replied very quickly: "Then who's considered the winner?"
Xiang Rong said: "It's a draw. How about that?"
YE: "Alright then."
Xiang Rong: "Let's spar again when we're free."
With that, Xiang Rong took Wu Changhe's account offline.
Everyone gathered around him.
"Lord Xiang!"
"Why aren't you playing anymore?"
"You're definitely going to win by the end of the game!"
"Yeah! How can it be considered a draw? "
A lot of people could not accept this outcome. In their eyes, Xiang Rong was a legend of the Go world. No one could beat him, and no one should be able to beat him!
But Xiang Rong just smiled and shook his head. He did not say a word.
Wu Changhe, Dan Donghe, and a few others were already playing.
Wu Changhe asked, "How was it?"
Xiang Rong gave a wry smile. "He's a very good Go player."
Wu Changhe said sullenly, "Even you couldn't win? Did you not give it your all? "
He was about to go crazy with anger!
This Zhang fellow, is there really no one who can deal with him??
"It's because he's really good." Xiang Rong said, "Although I'm not used to playing Go online and it will definitely affect my performance, it doesn't mean that my opponent is really giving it his all. Some of his moves are even more casual than mine. Furthermore, he's played so many games with others, so it must have affected his mental state as well. If this goes on, it'll be very difficult to determine a victor." He then threw up his hands and said something astonishing: "And the most important thing is that even if this game continues, I might not necessarily be the winner in the end."
Hearing that, a lot of people fell silent!
