Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
In the study.
Old Wu ca in with a cup of tea.
Zhang Ye was still staring at the computer screen.
"Have so tea."
"Oh, thanks."
"Has the ga begun yet?"
"We'll be starting soon, haha."
"OK. Let's see just how good my boyfriend is at Go."
Old Wu pulled a chair over and sat down.
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I'm actually not that good. Your dad's still pretty good. When I started playing him, I didn't need to put in much effort at all. But the more we played, the better he beca. It was as though his skill had been restored to how good he was in the past. At tis, I even had to get serious. Otherwise, I would really have been beaten by him."
"Of course. My dad once stood at the top."
"But I'm not bad either. Eh, it's starting. Hur hur, watch how I play!"
"You can only win against my dad because his skills have regressed a lot. If you went against active 4th or 5th dan pros, it would be very difficult for you to win."
"I know that."
Zhang Ye deeply believed that as well. He actually did not even know how good he was. All he knew was that he had maxed out his Lottery Draw (One)'s Go skill, and added another 100 million Reputation Points' worth of the Lottery Draw (Two) Go skill experience books on top of that. From the looks of it, the Go players of this world seed to be really strong. If a professional Go player whose play had regressed by that much since his retirent 20 years ago was still this strong at Go, then Zhang Ye felt that what Old Wu had said was correct when she ntioned that he could only win against her father. But it was enough if he could beat him. Right from the beginning, this fellow was just aiming for Wu Changhe anyway.
The ga began!
"WuChanghe," who was "sitting" opposite, had already placed his stone.
When Zhang Ye saw this, he followed up by placing his stone in the opposite corner. An opening with moves in opposing corners 1 could easily throw the frawork into disarray. This thod was often employed by weaker opponents against a stronger one. The idea behind it was to win amid the chaos it brought. But Zhang Ye was not afraid of that. Instead, his character suited such a thod even better!
About eight moves later.
Old Wu said curiously, "Eh, this doesn't look how my dad usually plays?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Yeah, your dad often changes his strategy. He would change his playstyle after every ga he lost to ."
Old Wu understood. "It must be because he couldn't find a way to deal with you, so he deliberately changed his strategy. My dad is pretty good. When did he beco so adaptable?"
"Whoa, this is a good move!"
"Mhm."
"Haha, but watch now!"
"How are you going to respond?"
"Watch as I trick him."
"Eh, why did you place your stone there?"
"Hehe, you'll know why in a bit. Ha, look at this! Your dad has taken the bait. Wait a bit. Just wait a bit and I'll show you a clever play!"
After Black made the 85th move.
Zhang Ye smiled as he took a white stone and clinked it down!
His opponent was silenced!
This silence lasted for a full ten minutes!
Zhang Ye cackled with laughter. "He fell for it! I bet your dad is getting frustrated!"
As Wu Zeqing's Go skill was just average, her observational skills were lacking by quite a bit. It wasn't until this mont that she understood why Zhang Ye had played his stones in those positions in the opening!
Wu Zeqing marveled, "Very beautiful."
Zhang Ye was overjoyed at receiving praise from his girlfriend.
Then a dialog box popped up!
His opponent resigned!
Zhang Ye typed: "Are we still playing, Uncle?"
"Yes. Wait a little! Don't run off!"
"Alright, I'll be here."
Very quickly, another ga started!
This ti, his opponent changed to yet another opening playstyle!
Zhang Ye did not think anything of it. He chatted with Wu Zeqing as he simultaneously played and explained his moves.
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "If you keep playing like this, you might really end up losing. Don't other people play Go silently?"
However, Zhang Ye was accustod to playing and chatting at the sa. He really hadn't played much Go before and did not have a subdued personality either. He had played a lot of Fight the Landlord, so this fellow was actually using the ntality of that ga to play Go. Every now and then, Zhang Ye would send so offending words to "WuChanghe" to harass him. He even felt that this was very normal behavior in Go. If you played like a slowpoke, you would definitely be hurried!
"Are you in the toilet?"
"Uncle, where did you go?"
"Are you taking a dump?"
"Why aren't you moving?"
"Please move?"
"The flowers are wilting as I wait!"
"Did you forget to bring toilet paper?"
Wu Zeqing could not refrain from laughing. This was the first ti she had seen soone play Go in such a way. Furthermore, those ssages he sent sounded really an as well!
In reality, Zhang Ye was having a very difficult ti this ga. "Your dad is playing really well in the midga. He's playing really well this ga, really well. Look at this setup here. He's trying to trap !"
Wu Zeqing said, "He making you make forcing moves."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "That might not be the case. He wants to trick ? Your dad is really overthinking things. Alright, I'll confuse him by responding with a horizontal stretch."
"A horizontal stretch?"
"Haha, I have to make him think that I've actually taken his bait."
"And then?"
"Then the midga will be mine!"
His opponent placed his stone!
Zhang Ye placed his stone!
His opponent placed another stone!
Zhang Ye smiled as he played an atari on his opponent!
And then, there were no more thens!
His opponent's tir 2 started counting up.
Three minutes…
Five minutes…
His opponent resigned.
Zhang Ye said to Old Wu, "In fact, this ga can be played on until the endga. But there's no point in playing any further than this. Your dad has no hope of turning things around."
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "My dad's skill has really regressed a lot over the years."
In Zhang Ye's heart, his attitude toward Wu Changhe was slowly changing. He was starting to think that this old man was really quite skilled. Wu Changhe made so moves that nearly landed him in an unfavorable position and the standard of play increased the more gas they played. It was as though he had changed persons with every match they played. He was indeed worthy of being the best Go player all those years ago. He was truly a force to be reckoned with!
But still, Zhang Ye did not lose!
One ga!
Three gas!
Five gas!
Zhang Ye defeated all in his way, erging victorious!
...
Near the computer.
Inside the Go association at China Qiyuan.
Silence reigned in the hall.
Wu Changhe was dumbfounded!
President Dan Donghe was dumbfounded!
All the professional players in the Go association were dumbfounded!
"Qi Qi 7-dan lost?"
"Chang Han 9-dan lost?"
"Tian Xi 9-dan lost too?"
"Li Yi 9-dan is also no match for him?"
"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!"
A total of five professional Go players had played against YE!
One of them was ranked 12th in the world!
One of them was ranked 10th in the world!
One of them was ranked 9th in the world!
One of them was ranked 7th in the world!
The highest ranking player was 4th in the world!
All of them lost!
All of them fucking lost!
"Holy shit!"
"Oh my God!"
"Who the fuck is he?"
"H-How could this be!"
They could not believe their eyes!
Chen Ying, Xu Han, and the others nearly pissed their pants!
A lot of the 5th and 6th dan players were staring at the computer screen while rubbing their eyes, dumbfounded. They could not react to it for a very long while. They were almost going crazy as their concept of the ga had been completely shattered in these monts!
The reason Wu Changhe ca to seek assistance from China Qiyuan was because he wanted to get the top Go players to take turns teaching Zhang Ye a lesson. But in the end, YE, by himself, destroyed everyone from China Qiyuan!
They were crushed!
He did not suffer a single loss!
The most crucial part was that this joker called YE kept harassing them throughout the gas. He constantly sent ssages like "hurry up," "even the flowers have wilted," "why are you taking your sweet ti," and "are you taking a dump." He even repeatedly sent those ssages, taking those 9th dan players to the brink of collapse and making them see red!
Taking a dump?
Forgetting to bring toilet paper?
Why the hell would you care if I brought any toilet paper or not!
What the fuck has that got anything to do with you!?
