After the meal.
Zhang Ye rushed to clear the dishes.
"Little Zhang, take a rest."
"Auntie, let me do it!"
"You put it there. I'll do it."
"Don't, don't, don't worry about it!"
"Aiya, why are you like this?"
"Where's the pool?"
"There are some in the house, and some in the yard."
"Alright, take a rest. Leave it to me!"
He stood in the yard and washed the dishes. Zhang Ye did not usually do any chores as his mother did most of the chores at home. When he was at Old Wu's house, Old Wu did not let him touch the pots and pans either. But now that he was at Old Wu's parents' house, and this was the first time he was visiting them as Wu Zeqing's boyfriend, Zhang Ye definitely had to show his sincerity and attitude. Regardless of whether he did it neatly or not, he had to at least show some sincerity and attitude. He wasn't swiping quickly, but he was very serious.
Li Qinqin nodded slightly at the side.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Auntie, in the future, if there's any work at home or if there's anything you need, just give me a call. I'll be there at your beck and call."
Li Qinqin smiled and said, "OK."
Suddenly, the wind started to pick up outside.
Li Qinqin looked up. "It's going to rain. Let's hurry inside."
Zhang Ye also quickly finished browsing. "Alright."
Back in the room, Wu Changhe and Wu Zeqing were chatting and watching the news.
Wu Zeqing said, "A bad thing has turned into a good thing for the Go world this time."
Wu Changhe grunted, "It was too dangerous this time. It was really a matter of life and death!"
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "It's indeed quite dangerous. If the AI had won, the sport of Go would have gone downhill in the future. However, the Americans clearly did not expect that there would really be someone in this world who could take on the AI head-on. Now that Little Ye has won, there's a chance that Go will continue to flourish in the future. The news just reported that the summer vacation children's Go classes are already full. This is a sign of hope."
Wu Changhe snorted. "That's the only thing this kid has done."
Even Wu Changhe had to admit that Zhang Ye had indeed saved the Go world this time!
At this moment, the television was broadcasting Zhang Ye's victory over Peter. All of a sudden, the camera switched and a song was played.
"Invincibility is so, so lonely!"
"Invincibility is so, so empty!"
Wu Zeqing was stunned!
Wu Changhe and Li Qinqin were also stunned!
Puff!
What kind of song is this?
Zhang Ye was also dumbfounded. "Damn, when did they record this?"
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "You sang it?"
Zhang Ye nearly fainted. "After I won the game, I was just casually singing at the Qiyuan. Why did they record it? You're even giving me a look? "
This song made a lot of people laugh!
The netizens were rolling over with laughter!
"Teacher Zhang has released a new song!"
"Quick, watch the television!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"What kind of lousy song is this!"
"Aiyo, this is so funny!"
"How lonely is being invincible?"
"Sounds good!"
"Pfft, this song is indeed Teacher Zhang's style!"
"This idiot! He's too cocky! "
"What's this song called? I've been brainwashed! "
"Let's see how much psychological trauma the Americans have!"
"Teacher Zhang is indeed invincible! Who can understand him? "
"At Zhang Ye's level, it's really lonely!"
"She in the horizon? Who is she? "
"Yeah, who's Teacher Zhang singing this song for?"
When the video was released, it was forwarded and commented on countless times. The song "Invincible" immediately went viral. The "she in the horizon" part of the lyrics was also discussed by countless people and everyone started guessing!
Watching TV.
Wu Changhe harrumphed, "How flamboyant!" Go was not about big moves and was about strategy and calmness. It had a very high requirement on one's temperament, so Wu Changhe could not understand it. Actually, many of the people at the Qiyuan also could not understand why an impulsive and flamboyant person like Zhang Ye could play Go so well. It didn't make any sense to begin with! But unbeknownst to him, his temper was not any better either!
But Wu Zeqing chuckled. "I think it's pretty nice. When it's time to keep a low profile, when it's time to be cool, when it's time to be cool."
Zhang Ye liked what he heard. "Old Wu still knows me best!"
Li Qinqin looked at him. "Little Zhang, what's your popularity ranking now?"
"Uh, I didn't notice." Zhang Ye said, "I've been busy playing Go for the past few days and forgot to check."
Li Qinqin smiled and said, "Since you won today, your popularity will definitely soar again."
Zhang Ye immediately flipped through the Celebrity Rankings Index. He was still in third place on the A-list celebrity rankings, closely behind Ning Lan in second place. But on the surface, there didn't seem to be any changes in the rankings. But in reality, Zhang Ye's popularity score was more or less the same as Ning Lan's. He was just short of catching up to her. There was no need to ask to know that Zhang Ye's popularity score had skyrocketed after he defeated Peter in the second game of the war between humans and machines yesterday.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ye was very much looking forward to it. He had come here to help the Go world and also to get the Wu family to acknowledge his relationship with Wu Zeqing. As for how his popularity score would increase, Zhang Ye had never really thought about it. After all, Go was a niche game, and Go celebrities were also niche celebrities. For example, Xiang Rong 9-dan, the world's number one in Go, was also considered a public figure. He should be the most dazzling celebrity in the Go world right now, but his popularity score was only at the E-list. As for the other professional Go players, their popularity score was even lower, and they might not even reach the E-list!
But Zhang Ye was clearly an exception. A single victory had actually brought him so much popularity. That was because too many people were paying attention to the war between humans and machines this time!
His popularity score was going to soar again?
This was truly a pleasant surprise!
…
At night.
When he got home, it started raining outside.
His mother came up to him. "Son, are you wet?"
"No," Zhang Ye said with a smile.
His father also strode out of the bedroom. "Little Ye, well played! Today's game of chess is too good! "
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "It's not too bad. Whoa, someone's here? Why is it so messy? "
His mother said, "They're all old neighbors who came over to visit tonight. Everyone is praising you and even said that your popularity score is going to soar again this time. Who knows, you might even surpass Ning Lan!"
Zhang Ye shrugged. "Who knows?"
His mother asked, "The rankings will be updated at 12 PM, right?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I'll wait for a while then!"
"Hey, hurry up and sleep. Look at the time."
"I'm so happy today that I can't sleep!"
Ring, ring, ring.
Speaking of the devil, a call came in.
It was from Ning Lan. Zhang Ye answered the call.
He heard Ning Lan say, "I say, Teacher Zhang, you're not being particular!"
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "What's the matter?"
Ning Lan laughed and said, "Look at your current popularity score. What's it like now? You even said that you're going to rest for half a month. As if I'd believe you! We've been working so hard every day, day and night, that's why our popularity score is slowly increasing. But you, after taking a break for two weeks, your popularity score is still increasing by the day. It doesn't make sense that your popularity score is rising so fast! I've almost been overtaken by you! "
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "That might not necessarily be the case."
"The rankings haven't been updated yet, so I'm guessing that it's going to be difficult for me." Ning Lan was a little depressed. "I've already appeared in three movies this year, but my popularity score is still not as high as your Go popularity score over the past three days. You really don't play by the rules. Even I have to give it to you. Do you know what the people in the industry are saying about you? They're saying that you're so lucky that you can get popular even with your eyes closed. "
Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What do they mean by not doing anything? You don't know this, but I was nearly beaten to a pulp by Peter. I nearly lost! "
Ning Lan said, "I'll congratulate you first, even though I hate it so much, haha!"
Zhang Ye hurriedly said, "Don't congratulate me yet. It might not have increased by much."
"Don't worry, it'll definitely surpass me," Ning Lan said.
On the same night.
The foreign media also reported about it.
The Japanese media: "China's genius bests AI!"
The Korean media: "The Go world could usher in a century of prosperity!"
The American media: "The most powerful AI in history gets a rude awakening from humanity!"
On Weibo.
A lot of netizens were also waiting.
"It's almost 12 AM!"
"Has it been updated yet?"
"Not yet!"
"Teacher Zhang's popularity is rising too quickly. King of Masked Singers has just ended, but his popularity has surged again this time. I wonder how far it will go!"
"Who asked Teacher Zhang to be so capable!"
"Being invincible is indeed lonely!"
The people were waiting!
Zhang Ye's family and friends were waiting!
Everyone in the entertainment industry was also waiting!
Everyone was concerned about how much Zhang Ye's popularity would increase. This was because this was the first time in history that someone had managed to gain popularity from an unpopular field like Go. For the entertainment industry, this was also a rather novel thing. As such, the industry insiders also wanted to see if they could learn from Zhang Ye's successful experience. Since they were all in the entertainment industry, everyone was learning from each other. Although a lot of the industry insiders understood that Zhang Ye's method of success could not be replicated!
It was midnight!
The Celebrity Rankings Index was updated!
The netizens immediately shouted.
"It's here!"
"It's time!"
"Has it been updated?"
"Hurry up!"
"Has it come out?"
"Has Zhang Ye surpassed Ning Lan?"
After a delay of about two minutes, the rankings were suddenly updated!
When they saw the A-list Celebrity Rankings Index, the entire Internet suddenly fell silent!
The netizens exclaimed!
The industry insiders were silent!
Even Zhang Ye and his parents could not react in time!
His popularity score had surpassed Ning Lan's. Not only that, Zhang Ye's popularity score had even surpassed the person who was previously ranked at the top of the A-list rankings. He had even replaced her! First place and third place might seem like they were only separated by two spots, but the concept was completely different. The difference in rankings was also earth-shattering!
The number one person on the A-list!
This was Zhang Ye's answer sheet for the past three days in the field of Go!
A lot of the industry insiders were shocked by Zhang Ye's freakishness!
This was Go they were talking about!
This was just fucking Go!
This is really too f * cking unreasonable!!
