Later that morning.
His parents and Old Wu were about to head out.
Sisi said anxiously, "Mommy, where are you going?"
Wu Zeqing patted her on the head. "Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma are going to buy some groceries."
"Don't go." Sisi tugged at her.
"Your daddy is a picky eater and can't get used to eating outside food. Mommy and Grandma are going to personally cook a delicious meal for you and Daddy." Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "Mommy will be back in a while. Stay here and play Go with Daddy. Let your daddy teach you well. Listen to Daddy."
His mother instructed, "Keep an eye on the child."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Got it."
His father also said, "Don't let her run off to the beach by herself."
Zhang Ye said, "I understand. With me around, are you guys still worried?"
"It's only when you're back that I'm worried," his mother muttered.
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes.
When they were out of the house, his father said, "Can we leave the two of them here?"
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "Dad, it's fine."
His mother said, "Let's go. We'll be back in an hour or two."
His father thought that it was only a short while. No matter how unreliable his son was, nothing major should happen to him. Thinking of this, he felt more at ease. Actually, their main motive was to give the father and daughter more time to spend together and familiarize themselves with each other. That was why they deliberately left.
In the villa.
Only the father and daughter were left.
He could clearly sense that Sisi was getting a little flustered. The little kid was playing Go with Zhang Ye while looking out the door absentmindedly. She would ask every once in a while.
"When is Mommy coming back?"
"In a while."
"When will Grandma be back?"
"They just left. It's still early."
That childish voice was extremely adorable.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Why? Is Daddy that scary? "
Sisi lowered her head and stammered, "A-Are you really my daddy?"
Zhang Ye said, "Of course. I'm the real deal, so what's there to not believe? Didn't Mommy tell you? Why would I lie to you? "
Sisi still did not seem to believe it. Zhang Ye's return was indeed too sudden.
Zhang Ye smiled and countered with a question, "Then what do you imagine Daddy to be like?"
Sisi started to talk. "My mom said that my dad is the most powerful person in the world. He knows everything. Every day, my mom tells me stories that my dad wrote. I've heard 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. They were all written by my dad."
Zhang Ye felt a little nostalgic. "That was when Daddy first debuted."
Sisi said proudly, "My dad can even sing. He's the Masked King. He can even write. He's a calligraphy master. He's really, really good."
Zhang Ye said smugly, "I'm not that powerful. I'm just a little stronger than the average person."
Sisi blinked at him.
Zhang Ye said, "If I'm really your father, then what do I have to do to make you believe me?"
Sisi asked, "You, can you beat the robot?"
Robot?
Artificial intelligence?
Zhang Ye was amused. "That's my defeated opponent."
Sisi said, "You're bragging. Only my dad has ever beaten a robot."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "But I'm your dad. Why don't you believe me?"
Sisi pursed her lips. "My grandma said that if my dad came back, he would definitely be able to beat the robot. Then my grandpa wouldn't be so unhappy every day." Sisi then looked at Zhang Ye with her big eyes that were almost carved from the same mold as Old Wu's. She waited for him to speak.
Zhang Ye was a little hesitant.
Sisi was immediately disappointed. "If it's my dad, he'll definitely win."
Zhang Ye gave a wry smile and said, "Daughter, it's not that I can't win, but that I want to spend more time with you and Mommy. Be it the matters of the entertainment industry or the Go world, I've just come back and don't want to get involved in them for the time being. Your dad hasn't been in contact with society for three years. The world is changing too quickly these days, and your dad has become old fashioned. So there are a lot of things that I want to understand first." With a pause, he said, "But since it's my daughter's request, then there's no problem. Alright, I'll give that PeterGo a try. I want to see how much that loser has improved after all these years."
Sisi was stunned.
Zhang Ye laughed loudly. "Let's go and watch Daddy play the robot!"
Sisi also got excited. "Can you win?"
Zhang Ye chuckled. "Then you'll have to give me a kiss. If you give me a kiss, I'll win."
Sisi was very shy.
Zhang Ye crouched down and moved his face closer to hers.
Sisi bit her lip and gave Zhang Ye a peck on the cheek.
Zhang Ye was so happy that he nearly died. He bent down and picked up his daughter, then gave her a big kiss on her tender cheek. "Hahahaha, let's go. Daddy's got some strength!"
In the study.
Zhang Ye turned on the computer.
Sisi was sitting off to the side, staring at the screen without blinking.
Zhang Ye said, "Wait for Daddy to look for the account."
Sisi said, "OK."
Zhang Ye tried to enter the password several times but couldn't get it to work. "Well, my previous accounts are all gone. It's been over three years, so I guess they've all been banned? The Go platform has also been revamped. It's completely different from when I was using it. It's fine, we'll just register a new account. Daughter, what do you think we should call it? "
Sisi blurted out, "Hero!"
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "Why is it called that?"
Sisi said, "Mommy said that Daddy is a hero."
Zhang Ye said, "Alright, let's call it Hero."
Since he couldn't enter the Chinese account, he could only enter it in English.
Zhang Ye entered "HEOR" and even said to his daughter, "This is the English word for hero. Do you know English? Yes, that's the English word. "
After saying so much, he didn't realize that this fellow had even gotten the English word wrong.
The account registration was completed.
He logged into the Go platform.
After more than three years, this was the first time Zhang Ye was touching the mouse and keyboard. That feeling was so nostalgic that he even felt a little unfamiliar with it. Holding the mouse, he couldn't click on the right place several times.
Sisi said anxiously, "It's there!"
Zhang Ye said in confusion, "Where?"
"Over there." Sisi pointed to it for him.
Zhang Ye listened to his daughter's instructions and finally found where PeterGo was hiding. It was a battle zone that had been specially set aside for the artificial intelligence. Zhang Ye took a quick look at the instructions and found that PeterGo could accept challenges from anyone. Perhaps due to the limitations of the server or other factors, PeterGo could not play against multiple players at the same time. It could only be played against one person at a time. Zhang Ye thought that he might have to queue up for it. After all, there were so many Go enthusiasts in the world, but there was only one PeterGo. If there were three to five people queuing up in front of it, he would have to wait at least several hours.
But when he clicked on it, he realized that there wasn't a single person inside!
No one was playing!
No one was watching!
It was unimaginably quiet. The entire battle room was empty. Other than Zhang Ye's HEOR account, there was only a series of shocking battle records!
7,451 wins!
0 losses!
Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled. What an arrogant record! He suddenly remembered that on his way here, the people from the China Qiyuan had told him that just the number of matches between the world-famous professional Go players and PeterGo had exceeded a thousand. This record should also be included in the statistics. As for the other losses, they were left behind by those semi-professional or amateur Go enthusiasts. 7,451 wins in just over two years was indeed too arrogant!
Zhang Ye chuckled and said, "It's been more than two years. It's about time someone taught him a lesson."
At this moment, he felt like he had returned to the scene of the war between humans and machines many years ago.
PeterGo, do you still remember me? The moment I left, you made a comeback? Did you think that I wouldn't be able to come back after all these years? Or did you think that you had already studied my playing style thoroughly during those few games back then? But you definitely don't know that there are still many classic Go playing styles that you haven't seen before in my previous world, right? Hur hur, then I'll show you that humans and machines are ultimately still different.
…
Sanya.
At a seafood market.
His mother suddenly rubbed her eyes. "Why are my eyelids twitching?"
Wu Zeqing asked, "Are you alright?"
His mother was very suspicious. "Why do I feel like something's going to happen?"
His father curled his lips. "Don't be so mysterious. Little Ye has just returned, so what could possibly happen?"
