Noon.
Zhang Ye returned home for lunch.
When he arrived downstairs in the neighborhood, he was welcomed by his old neighbors. There was even an elderly neighbor who took out two strings of firecrackers that were supposed to be used for his child's wedding tomorrow. When Zhang Ye returned to the neighborhood, the sound of firecrackers crackled, making Zhang Ye feel quite touched.
"Little Ye, well done!"
"Show the Americans what you're capable of!"
"Crush PeterGo!"
"We're all cheering for you!"
"You must win tomorrow as well!"
At home.
The moment he entered the house, the aroma of food assailed his nostrils.
He looked at the table full of dishes and exclaimed, "Why are there so many dishes?"
His father said excitedly, "Son! Eat! Eat your fill and keep up the good work tomorrow! "
"Mom is rewarding you. Quickly sit down and eat." His mother beamed.
Zhang Ye said, "Alright."
His mother smiled and turned on the television. It was filled with news about her son.
The news of Zhang Ye's resounding victory over the AI had spread throughout the country. Even in the Asian region, countless Japanese and Korean Go players who had been paying attention to the development of the situation were shocked. No one could have expected that someone could carry the banner of the Go world and defeat Peter when Shinji, Park Yuhee, and Xiang Rong had suffered such a crushing defeat. Most importantly, this person was not even a professional Go player or someone from the Go world, but a celebrity from the entertainment industry? In any case, this victory came at the right time. It was like a shot in the arm to the Go world!
Everyone was looking forward to tomorrow's match!
Tomorrow would be the final match between Zhang Ye and Peter. There were already people voting on Weibo!
8%!
20%!
40%!
Zhang Ye's support rate was soaring!
Of course, there were also quite a few people who felt that Peter would win!
"Zhang Ye will definitely win!"
"Face-smacking Zhang is almighty!"
"That might not necessarily be the case."
"Why not?"
"Zhang Ye won today by sheer luck. If not for the Hand of God turning the game around, he would have lost that game for sure. He can't guarantee that he'll be able to perform like he did today in every game. Besides, Peter has already deciphered the 'Cosmic Flow' that Zhang Ye called 'Cosmic Flow.' If Zhang Ye were to use it again tomorrow, he might not even be able to set up a setup. Peter will definitely be prepared for it!"
"Yeah, Zhang Ye won today because he caught Peter off guard and won because of his strange playstyle. Who knows how it will turn out tomorrow, hai?"
"Then what should we do?"
"Unless Zhang Ye has a new playstyle tomorrow!"
"New fighting style?"
"How could it be that easy!"
"Yeah, this Cosmic Flow and that new opening are already awesome enough. I bet Zhang Ye has been thinking about it for who knows how long. How could he possibly come up with so many new playstyles! Also, had everyone overestimated Teacher Zhang? Had everyone forgotten about something? Teacher Zhang is not a professional Go player! "
"Uh."
"That's right!"
Many people started to worry. Thinking of this, everyone's excitement faded a little. They had won today, but it was only a 1-1 draw. If they lost tomorrow, it would all be for naught. They did not know what Zhang Ye would do tomorrow. If he did not, wouldn't he lose miserably like the first set?
…
After the meal.
The phone rang. It was the landline of Wu Zeqing's parents.
Zhang Ye answered: "Hello?"
Wu Changhe's voice could be heard. "Do you still need the chess records and information? If you need it, I'll have someone send it to your house right now. "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "There's no need, Uncle. I've already seen enough yesterday."
Wu Changhe said indifferently, "What else do you need? Hurry up and mention it. "
Zhang Ye said, "Thank you, Uncle. Well, there's nothing else that I need for the time being."
"You're not preparing for tomorrow's match?"
"I'm preparing."
"What are your chances of winning?"
"I don't know."
"Heh, can you do it?"
"I really don't know. In any case, I'll definitely give it my all."
"Even if you don't want to give it your all, you have no choice. Think about my daughter, understand? If you lose tomorrow, don't even think about stepping foot into our house ever again! Hmph! "
"Damn, are you going to turn your back on me like that? You even put your arm around my shoulder and praised me this morning! "
"Did I?"
"Of course you did!"
"Don't tease me. In any case, I'm telling you, give it your all in tomorrow's match! Crush that machine! Crush it to death! "
"Yes, sir."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye smiled. He no longer disliked Wu Changhe as much anymore. This old comrade was still quite cute. At least in the field of Go, or at least in the Go world, he was really devoted to it. Perhaps it was a passion that came from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Ye could feel the feelings that Wu Changhe and Dan Donghe's generation had for Go. Although they had retired, although their Go skills were no longer as good as before, and although any high-level professional Go player could easily crush them like dogs, their feelings for Go had not diminished at all. Instead, it had deepened. This was a feeling that Zhang Ye could not understand, because he really did not like Go very much. But this did not stop Zhang Ye from stepping forward.
Uncle, don't worry!
If you want to keep your dignity, I'll help you keep it!
The honor that you've lost, I'll help you get it back!
Not for anything else, just because … just because if I lose, you won't fucking marry Old Wu off to me!
…
After informing his parents, Zhang Ye went back to his room. Of course he would not waste this day. On the contrary, time was of the essence right now!
Yesterday, Zhang Ye had made a last-minute effort to watch all the matches in this world and memorized them. It was not for the sake of learning, but to eliminate and find data that was not in Peter's database. And today, what Zhang Ye wanted to do was to memorize all the matches of the masters he had seen in his previous world. He wanted to organize all of them from the beginning to the end. Some of the moves, some of the wonderful moves, some of the Hand of God, and some of the complicated josekis. Fortunately, even though Zhang Ye did not have much interest in Go back then, he was forced by his teacher to read a lot of the game records. He also watched many of the matches on television, so there was still a lot of information!
Come on!
He bought quite a few Memory Search Capsules in one go!
Then, Zhang Ye closed his eyes and fell into a long "sleep."
Regarding tomorrow's match, Zhang Ye actually had some vague plans for it. The Apollo Style and the Cosmic Style clearly could not be used anymore. The Americans weren't fools, so there was no way they would not record their data. Moreover, Zhang Ye heard that Peter also had a learning function that allowed it to learn and supplement itself through matches. As such, Zhang Ye needed to find a new entry point to play the third game against Peter. Fortunately, in today's game, Zhang Ye discovered some of Peter's new weaknesses. For example, its tolerance for mistakes. It seemed like he could make an issue out of this, but he didn't know how effective it would be at the moment.
An hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
The outside world was abuzz with heated discussions!
The news was also overwhelming!
But Zhang Ye did not pay any attention to the outside world and was immersed in the sea of Go!
