Zhang Ye?
Which Zhang Ye?
That Zhang Ye?
After a full two seconds of silence, the venue of the press conference suddenly burst into an uproar. Everyone could not believe their ears and were stunned by this news. The foreigners might not know who he was, but how could they not know who he was? This name was simply too well-known. In their country, there was no one who did not know who Zhang Ye was. But no one present at the venue could have expected to hear this name coming out of the mouth of the China Qiyuan's president at this very moment!
Zhang Ye is going to fight?
Are you crazy?
Or are we crazy!?
…
In front of the television.
His parents were dumbfounded!
His mother said in a daze, "Old Zhang, who did he say it was?"
His father said in a dumbfounded manner, "He said … Zhang Ye!"
"Damn!" His mother almost jumped up. "Our son? Little Ye was going to represent the Go world? The last line of defense of the Go world that they're talking about is Little Ye? "
Zhang Ye's father nearly fainted. "With our son's lousy Go skills, how could he possibly know how to play Go!"
…
Old Yao's house.
Yao Mi's jaw dropped. "Did he say the wrong name?"
Yao Jiancai was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped. "That's right. He's talking about Zhang Ye!"
Yao Jiancai's wife said, "Could it be someone with the same name?"
"How many mathematicians are called Zhang Ye?" Yao Mi said, "Besides, isn't the publicly acknowledged smartest person in the last hundred years Teacher Zhang!? F * ck me! F * ck me! F * ck me! "
Yao Jiancai vomited blood. "That guy can even play Go?"
His wife was also shocked. "Is there a mistake?"
…
At the Heavenly Queen's house.
Zhang Yuanqi was stunned!
Ning Lan was also dumbfounded. She wet her pants and said, "What? Zhang Ye? Was this fellow going to wreak havoc in the Go world again? Wasn't he on vacation for half a month? Why did it pop up again? Why is he involved in everything? Puff! I really admire him! Teacher Zhang can't even sit still for a day! "
Zhang Yuanqi: "He knows Go?"
"Who knows!" Ning Lan shouted.
…
The Rao family.
Rao Aimin looked at the television and exclaimed.
Yang Shu was also at her house. She exclaimed, "It's my senior bro!"
Chenchen was speechless. "Aunt, you're going to be busy again."
Rao Aimin said, "This Little Zhang, why is he always stirring up trouble!"
As Zhang Ye's agent, the media would definitely look for her.
…
The Chinese audience was stunned!
The internet was also going crazy!
"Did I hear it wrong or did he say it wrong?"
"You heard me right!"
"Zhang Ye?"
"Holy sh * t!"
"How could it be him?"
"When did Teacher Zhang become a part of the Go world?"
"He's a host and an entertainment star. Why would he go play Go! He still wanted to be a Go star? The crux of the matter was, could Teacher Zhang do it? Even Xiang Rong 9-dan lost! "
"Has China Qiyuan gone crazy?"
"Who the f * ck knows what's wrong with them!"
"They could have found anyone for this matter, but why would they find Zhang Ye!?"
"Teacher Zhang is simply everywhere!"
"There hasn't been any news of him for a week, and Teacher Zhang suddenly popped up again?"
"I admit that Teacher Zhang is smart. His learning ability is strong, and he is the best in every field. He should be the smartest person in the world now! But this is Go! "
"Can he play Go?"
"Who the hell knows!"
The people could not accept this!
The Japanese and Koreans were also dumbfounded!
They basically did not know Zhang Ye, and almost no one knew who he was. But with the Internet's advanced technology, they could easily find out who he was!
The Japanese.
"A Chinese superstar?"
"What? It's him? "
"That person who scolded us at Peking University?"
"Isn't he a celebrity in the entertainment circle?"
"It's that bastard? I've heard of him before! "
"Dammit, why did they choose him to play?"
The Koreans.
"I know him!"
"It's the person who beat up Lee Anson!"
"Right, that hooligan from the Chinese entertainment circle!"
"Is China Qiyuan crazy? Why did they invite a layman to represent them? "
"This is the last time Peter will accept a challenge! This is the last chance for the Go world to turn things around! How can they treat such an important match as child's play? "
"It's over, the Go world is finished!"
"He definitely can't win! He's just sending himself to his death! "
…
The outside world was in an uproar!
It was the same at the press conference!
During the live broadcast, a reporter raised a question.
That female reporter raised her hand and said, "President Dan, did you make a mistake? Why did they invite a layman to represent them for such an important match? "
Dan Donghe said, "Believe me, we know very well what we're doing. It's precisely because this is an important match that concerns the dignity of the Go world that we invited Professor Zhang to represent us. We can't afford to lose, and we can't afford to lose again! This time, we will give it our all to deal with the AI! "
A male reporter said, "But Zhang Ye is an outsider!"
Dan Donghe retorted, "Who says that a layman can't play Go? Professor Zhang is recognized as the smartest person in the last century. I don't need to say anything about his achievements in various fields. If anyone doubts that he doesn't know how to play Go, then I can reassure everyone here. Professor Zhang knows how to play Go, and according to what I know, he learned how to play Go when he was young. "
The reporters didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
He learned it when he was young?
I also fucking learned how to play Go when I was young!
What use is that? What use is that? The opponent is an AI that has defeated Xiang Rong 9-dan, Shinji 9-dan, and Park Yuhee 9-dan!
Dan Donghe looked down. "Are there any more questions?"
A reporter from Shanghai Television raised his hand. "Can we win?"
Dan Donghe said, "That depends on Professor Zhang! But no matter who wins or loses, we still have to thank Professor Zhang for standing up for the Go world! Because this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place. Professor Zhang is already famous all over the world and doesn't lack fame or benefits. There was no need for him to get involved in this mess. But for the sake of Go and for the dignity of humanity, Professor Zhang stepped forward without any hesitation. That's why we have to thank him! "
When the Americans heard this, they finally understood who the person they had invited to play was!
A layman?
He wasn't even a professional Go player?
He wasn't even considered an amateur Go player?
The Americans found this extremely funny!
You Chinese are really looking down on our AI program!
…
At Zhang Ye's parents' house.
His mother dragged him out of his bedroom.
Zhang Ye stammered, "What's the matter, Mom?"
His mother stared at him. "Are you going to represent the Go world and compete against the AI?"
"Yeah, eh, didn't I tell you?" Zhang Ye blinked.
His father said loudly, "What did you say!"
Zhang Ye said nervously, "I was so busy just now that I forgot. Didn't someone come to our house just now? It was the people from China Qiyuan who came to invite me to help the Go world. "
His father said in surprise, "You agreed just like that?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes, I did."
His mother nearly fainted. "You're going to do it just because they asked you to? How gutsy do you have to be! You've only learned a few basic moves of Go in primary and middle school, yet you dare to play against the AI? "
Zhang Ye chuckled and said, "I'll give it a try."
His father said, "Are we going to play tomorrow?"
Zhang Ye nodded.
Ring, ring, ring. His cell phone rang!
It was Chen Guang.
"Old Chen, what's the matter?"
"What do you think is the matter! Are you trying to go to heaven, Director Zhang? "
"Ha, did you see the news?"
"Of course I did. Can you do it?"
"Of course, I'm going to fight it!"
Then it was Dong Shanshan's turn.
"Zhang 'er! Is what they said at the press conference true? "
"It's true."
"Are you really going to play?"
"Yeah."
"When did you learn Go?"
"Elementary school, I guess. I've always known how to play."
"I never expected that the Go world would seek you out!"
"I didn't expect it either."
The calls came one after another.
Yu Yingyi, Zhang Xia, Yao Jiancai, Xiaodong, Ning Lan, Ha Qiqi, and a large group of Zhang Ye's friends were all alarmed. They all called him in shock to confirm the news!
The press conference had ended!
Rao Aimin's cell phone was exploding with calls from the media!
It was the same for China Qiyuan!
On Weibo, many experts were openly questioning the news!
On the same night, the news of this incident swept across the entire country!
"Zhang Ye to represent the Go world in the final battle!"
"The fourth player to represent the Go world is Zhang Ye?"
"Zhang Ye versus Peter!"
"Fourth match of the war between humans and machines: Zhang Ye to take the field!"
"China Qiyuan's shocking decision!"
"Zhang Ye is once again pushed to the forefront!"
"Can humanity make a comeback?"
"Just how good is Zhang Ye at Go?"
"Humanity's strongest brain versus the strongest AI. Who will win?"
The situation was pessimistic!
Not to mention the experts and media, even Zhang Ye's fans did not believe him at this moment!
"Teacher Zhang, can you stop messing around?"
"Let's get down to business, alright?"
"You're even getting involved in the affairs of the Go world?"
"Pfft, didn't you give yourself a break!"
"I can already see the scene of Teacher Zhang suffering a crushing defeat!"
Doubts and pessimism aside, there was one thing that was beyond doubt:
The life and death of Go?
The dignity of humanity?
At this moment, all of that rested on Zhang Ye's shoulders!
