It was already dark.
His parents had just returned from their stroll. They opened the door and entered the house.
"Why is there still no news?" Dad complained.
His mother closed the door and said, "There are so many Asians. There must be an expert who will step forward. What are you so anxious about?"
His father said angrily, "How can I not be anxious? How dare they bully us! "
"Eh? Where's Little Ye? "His mother looked around.
Zhang Ye's voice came from the house. "I'm in my room."
His mother asked, "Did someone come to the house? Why is it so messy? "
"That's right, that's right."
Dad asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm a little busy, so I'll talk to you later."
His father said, "Hurry up and do your work."
Inside the house.
Zhang Ye was facing the computer and studying the Go records of Peter, Xiang Rong 9-dan, Shinji 9-dan, and the others over and over again. Ever since the people from China Qiyuan left, he had been looking at this. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. He definitely had to study this before going into battle. But the more he studied it, the more he realized how amazing Peter was. Every move that Xiang Rong and the others made seemed to have been calculated by the AI in advance. Some players could think of the moves that would come after two or three moves, while others could analyze the situation after four or five moves. But this Peter was probably even more so because it was a computer!
How were they supposed to play?
How the f * ck was he supposed to fight this?
Zhang Ye had always been pessimistic about the battle between the Go world and Peter, and it was the same now. He did not have any confidence at all. This fellow rarely took part in battles that he was not confident of winning. But this time, he couldn't. For the sake of Wu Changhe's words and for Wu Zeqing's sake, he had to bite the bullet and fight!
What to do?
Perhaps there was only one way!
Zhang Ye lowered his head and looked at the game ring on his left pinky finger. With a determined look, he immediately opened the interface and began the draw! The most recent lottery draw was not very ideal. He had only gotten five Xiangqi Skill Experience Books. Although they came in handy later on, it was not something that Zhang Ye was in urgent need of. This time, he was hoping that the Lucky Halo would be a little more useful. This was because he did not need anything other than the Go Skill Experience Book!
Lucky Halo (Upgraded) activated!
He clicked on [Lottery Draw Two].
Additional Stakes!
Begin!
Including the cost of the Lucky Halo, he had spent over 100 million Reputation Points just like that!
But two minutes later, they heard Zhang Ye laughing out loud in the bedroom!
"Hahahaha!"
The heavens are helping me!
The heavens are helping me!
The results of the lottery draw were out!
There were a total of ten large Go Skill Experience Books!
Without any hesitation, Zhang Ye learned them one by one!
Come on, PeterGo!
See how this bro will torture you!
In this lottery draw, Zhang Ye's luck had really exploded!
…
Meanwhile.
Something big had also happened online!
"Besides Master Xiang, who else is there in the Chess Hall?"
"Li Yi is the only one left!"
"Yeah, Li Yi 9-dan has the highest ranking."
"But that's still number four in the world! Even the top three in the world, Master Xiang and the others, lost, so the fourth place must be even worse, right? "
"What can we do?"
"Yeah, who else can do it?"
"We can't just admit defeat, right?"
"No! We must not cower! "
"I think Liu Hong 9-dan will win!"
"None of them can do it. None of them can!"
Just as everyone was lamenting, the China Qiyuan suddenly made an explosive announcement. They had unilaterally issued a challenge to Peter!
Everyone had been waiting for this news for too long. Seeing that the Qiyuan had finally responded, some people were extremely excited while others shook their heads pessimistically.
"It's here!"
"The Qiyuan has spoken!"
"It's finally here!"
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?"
"Li Yi 9-dan?"
"Liu Hong 9-dan?"
"They didn't say anything!"
"Quick, look, they're going to broadcast the press conference live!"
"Which channel is it on?"
"It's the Central TV Sports Channel and the News Channel!"
"Turn on the TV! Hurry, hurry, hurry! "
Countless viewers turned on their televisions!
…
Back at home.
His father slapped his thigh. "The Qiyuan has sent someone!"
His mother was also paying attention and said, "Turn on the TV!"
"It's on, it's on!" His father looked over eagerly.
His mother said in anticipation, "Let's see who their so-called last line of defense for the Go world is."
…
In a villa.
Fan Wenli smiled and said, "I heard that someone has accepted the challenge."
"Is that so?" Chen Guang immediately said, "Let me see!"
…
At the Heavenly Queen's house.
Ning Lan dropped by. "Eh, Sister Zhang? You're also following the Go world's matter? "
Zhang Yuanqi smiled. "I have to pay attention to the news and current affairs."
…
At a Go club in Beijing.
"Aiyo, it's a press conference!"
"Are they going to fight?"
"The Qiyuan isn't backing down! Well done! "
"Who's going to step up?"
"Is it Li Yi 9-dan?"
…
In Japan.
"China has stepped up?"
"What's the use of that!"
"Yeah, there's no one left!"
"There's no one left in the Go world!"
…
In Korea.
"China is still going to give it their all?"
"Let's give them our blessings, but there's not much hope."
"They must be sending Li Yi 9-dan to gamble on their luck, right?"
"But how are they going to win?"
…
At China Qiyuan.
At the venue of the press conference.
At this moment, the venue was packed to the brim. There weren't even enough chairs left, so the staff added another dozen or so chairs for the media reporters. Outside the door, there were still some reporters from the tabloids who were not invited. They were all blocked outside and couldn't get in.
The entire country was watching!
All of the Go enthusiasts in Asia were watching with wide eyes!
Central TV's live broadcast began!
The live signal was being broadcasted live!
On the stage, the Americans and China Qiyuan's representatives were all present. Several of the main managers were seated there, and there was a microphone in front of each of them.
The Qiyuan's president, Dan Donghe, lowered his head slightly and moved his mouth closer to the microphone. "Dear friends from the media, how are you? I'm sure everyone here knows about the 'war between humans and machines' that has been causing quite a stir recently. Right now, on behalf of the Qiyuan, I would like to officially announce that we are issuing a challenge to Peter!"
Applause immediately rang out from the audience!
The American representative smiled and said, "Alright, we accept the challenge. But we'll be returning to China in three days. Peter has other more important tasks and research to do, so we can't stay here forever. That's because it's been proven that Peter's intelligence is higher than that of humans. It has already defeated the top three players in the world of Go, so we accept the challenge. But this will be the last time Peter will accept a challenge from the Go world this year!"
Dan Donghe looked at him. "Peter's intelligence is higher than that of humans? Isn't it too early to say that? "
The American representative smiled and said, "Alright, then we'll talk about it after this match is over."
"I'm just afraid that your side won't have a chance to say that." Dan Donghe gave him tit for tat.
The American representative said, "Then let's wait and see."
The American team was amused because they had absolute confidence in Peter. They knew that no human could beat it!
The time for the match was set!
It was tomorrow!
The venue was at China Qiyuan!
But no one knew who would be taking the challenge. This was their last chance, and they really couldn't afford to lose again. So everyone was very concerned about who would be taking the challenge stage!
A female reporter asked, "May I know who will be taking the challenge?"
A reporter from Beijing Television said, "Xiang Rong 9-dan is already the strongest player in the world of Go. Is there anyone else who can take the challenge?"
Dan Donghe said, "Of course there is!"
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?"
"Which Go master is it?"
The reporters were all staring with wide eyes!
The TV viewers also pricked up their ears!
Dan Donghe said calmly, "The AI developed by the Americans is said to surpass the intelligence and brains of humans. That's why they used the world's most complex game of Go to challenge humanity. But as everyone knows, Xiang Rong 9-dan's Go skills are very good, but he is not the smartest person in the world. It just so happens that the smartest person recognized by the world in the last century is also in China. He's also in Beijing right now!"
The Americans did not understand what was going on!
But when he said that, the reporters in the audience felt like their tails had been stepped on. Many of them stood up with their mouths agape!
The smartest person in the last century?
Could it be …
Could it be …
Holy shit! Surely not, right?
Don't tell us it's that guy!
Please don't tell us it's that guy!
Dan Donghe announced loudly, "The person who will be representing the Go world in this match against Peter is the world-famous mathematician — Zhang Ye!"
Zhang Ye?
Who was that?
The Americans scoffed. They did not know him at all.
However, the reporters below the stage were in an uproar!
At that moment, the entire venue fell silent!
