I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal Chapter 160 - 134: The Genius Became One of the Hundred Thou

"Interesting, more interesting than other stuff."

This was Chen Yun’s thought after spending about ten minutes on a basic Go tutorial and playing two gas against a simple AI.

Go is not only a competitive sport but also embodies art and philosophy, demanding from its players a high level of strategic insight, precise calculation abilities, and profound perceptiveness.

He found it to be a truly intriguing form of entertainnt, one that offered a rare sense of challenge.

The first two gas saw him facing difficulties he had rarely encountered before.

However, after playing another two gas against the simple AI, Chen Yun learned quite a lot from each ga and morized and mastered everything, more or less figuring out the conventional gaplay of Go.

Afterwards,

he played two or three gas in a super-fast chess mode against the simple AI, only stopping after he was steadily defeating it.

Looking at the ti, which had passed by over an hour, Chen Yun nodded in satisfaction.

During this ti, he had gone from a complete novice to soone who could play decently, at least able to consistently beat the simple AI mode on this Go Network.

For many people, this was an unattainable achievent in their lifeti.

Many so-called Go prodigies in schools or small towns might never make it past the professional grading regardless of their efforts.

Becoming one of the top players in certain cities or counties might be the limit of their lifeti, and that is already considered a one in a million talent.

But this was rely the peak among the mundane.

If one were more remarkable,

Becoming a professional Go player would only an joining the legions trying to besiege Sun Wukong.

The endga of Go is, after all, a playground for only a few geniuses.

And Chen Yun was destined to be one of those geniuses.

Or perhaps, to say he vastly surpassed any genius.

What seed an unattainable height for others was rely a starting point he could easily reach.

Was it really that hard just to compute and analyze?

Thinking this,

Chen Yun looked at the advanced AI, which he could only unlock after achieving a certain number of real-ga matches, and reluctantly started a real match.

Truth be told, he only wanted to play against AIs.

It was said that humans had been thoroughly dominated repeatedly by AI— the battle of the century between AlphaGo and humanity stirred up quite a buzz, and even those outside the Go community had heard about it.

Naturally, Chen Yun hadn’t considered playing against human players.

The platform he chose was the biggest online platform in the country, equipped with very strong Go AIs. Its highest computational ability could match the AIs used by professional players in the Go Institute.

After all, the AIs used by the professional players in the Institute were provided by the owner of this website, and their computational strength was definitely among the top in the world.

However, due to computational resource constraints,

to use a higher level AI, one must et certain conditions; it wasn’t feasible to equip every player with top-tier AI sparring partners.

Therefore,

Chen Yun needed to win three real player matches, and defeat the current stage’s AI once, to unlock a more advanced AI. Naturally, unlocking even more advanced AIs required more conditions.

In order to unlock the next stage AI,

Chen Yun thought playing against real players could be interesting and perhaps he could learn sothing?

Just as he was thinking this,

Chen Yun got matched with an opponent.

He started the ga full of confidence and interest.

...

After a while,

after playing three real player matches with a learning and improving mindset, Chen Yun fell into deep thought.

Damn...

He leaned back, feeling as if his database had been deeply contaminated.

Though he had started with the intent to learn sothing and progress,

the extrely slow play of the real players, always taking up to the limit of their thinking ti, not to ntion,

continuing with bad moves even after long contemplation, made Chen Yun doubt whether his opponent was really human.

What kind of trash gas were those last three?

Were those even moves a human could make?

Aren’t the rules of Go clearly explained? How can soone still make such outrageous moves?

I’ve already told you 1 1=2; how can you still not solve Riemann’s hypothesis? Seriously, can you or can you not?

Even if you can’t solve Riemann’s hypothesis,

how can you fail to grasp high school topics related to functions on your own, knowing 1 1=2?

After pondering for a long ti,

Chen Yun thought it must be because he was new and his rank was low, so he was matched with beginners in Go.

These beginners couldn’t possibly compete against soone like him who was also a beginner.

Next,

Chen Yun decisively played against a more advanced Level 2 AI for a while.

He found that the Level 2 AI wasn’t much more difficult, seemingly not much stronger than the Level 1 AI; he felt he could easily crush it after playing two gas.

Pausing for a mont,

Chen Yun, grimacing at the gut-wrenching discomfort, began to close his database and started matching with real players again, to et the conditions to upgrade from Level 2 AI to Third Level AI.

...

At 8:50 PM,

The world seed to slowly settle into a serene blue tone as nightti deepened. A crescent moon quietly climbed up the sky, hanging like a pearl on a velvety black curtain, radiating a soft and clear glow.

A phone call ca, catching Chen Yun just as he was about to start another real player match to upgrade his Go AI.

It was a call from one of Chen Yun’s high school classmates.

After a quick search in his mory, Chen Yun recalled that it was the class president from his high school days.
