Chapter 41 - Are There Any Others Among You Who Wish to Challenge This Empress~
【Okay, I admit the strear's painting skills are indeed amazing, but that still doesn’t prove your identity as an empress.】
【Right, right, didn’t you say you were proficient in zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting? Then you should at least prove the other skills, right?】
【Agreed. As an empress, isn’t it normal to know all these things?】
【…】
In the stream's bullet comnts, a portion of the people were still unconvinced and being contrary.
Seeing this, Long Yue wasn't angry. Having just shown off in front of the crowd in the stream, she was currently flushed with success.
“But of course. Since this Empress has said it, I am definitely not deceiving you all.”
“What else do you mortals want to see this Empress demonstrate? Speak and let hear it. This Empress grants you special permission today~”
“You all should feel honored. Ordinary mortals do not get to see this Empress display her talents.”
The crowd in the stream: “…”
【The strear is too smug!】
【No, I can’t stand it!】
【Soone, can anyone humble this strear!】
【…】
Watching Long Yue’s smug and complacent look, the crowd in the stream was suddenly enraged.
One person directly sent a rocket gift, with an accompanying bullet comnt:
【Since the strear says she is proficient in zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting, then I will challenge the strear’s Go skills!】
“Ooh! A gift…!”
Suddenly receiving a gift, Long Yue excitedly moved closer to the screen, afraid that her eyes had been playing tricks on her.
After confirming that she had really received a rocket gift, her eyes imdiately lit up, and she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.
This was a real gift donation, not an encouraging donation from the Demon Sovereign. It was extra inco for the household!
“Thank you to this mortal nad ‘Number One Online Go Player’ for the gift donation.”
“Since you have gone so far as to donate a gift to challenge this Empress, then this Empress will reluctantly give you this opportunity!”
At this point, Long Yue’s words paused, a troubled look on her face.
“But you and this Empress are separated by who knows what distance. How are we to play a ga of Go?”
In the Immortal Realm, there was a type of treasure called a ‘Myriad Vision Immortal Sphere’. One only needed to infuse it with spiritual energy to see scenes from hundreds of thousands of miles away through the sphere's surface.
At this mont, she and the netizen were separated by a screen. This screen was just like this ‘Myriad Vision Immortal Sphere’. It was just a small screen, yet who knew how far apart they were.
Hearing Long Yue’s words, the people in the stream imdiately let out laughter and doubt:
【No way, the strear doesn’t even know how to play Go online?】
【Hahaha, could the strear be using a computer for the first ti?】
【She’s really acting like she’s Her Majesty the Empress who just arrived on Blue Star.】
【Hahaha, after all, it’s normal for Her Majesty the Empress not to understand online Go.】
【I suspect the strear has never even played Go before.】
【…】
“Hmph, this Empress is indeed using this thing for the first ti!”
“You all just wait, this Empress will find soone to ask.”
Facing the mockery and ridicule in the stream, Long Yue’s fine brows furrowed slightly. She let out a dissatisfied huff, then turned her head to look at Lin Fan for help.
Lin Fan gave a helpless smile, quietly got up and ca to her side, took her mouse, and helped her install a platform specifically for playing against others online, then created a ga room.
Long Yue sat on the chair, watching with a dumbfounded expression, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration:
“This thing called a computer is really convenient…!”
In her impression, a ga of Go absolutely required pieces, a board, and a box for the pieces. Any cultivator who liked to play Go would basically carry these with them at all tis.
Sotis, to find soone to play Go with, one had to specially fly tens of thousands of miles to visit them, but here, you only needed to open a ga room online!
This level of convenience far surpassed that of her Immortal Realm!
After setting up the room, Lin Fan’s job was done. He silently stepped back. Long Yue took back the mouse and said impatiently:
“This Empress has it set up. Co on!”
“Let this Empress see what the Go skills of this world’s mortals are like~”
As her voice fell, the netizen nad ‘Number One Online Go Player’ entered the room.
At this ti, the number of onlookers in the stream was growing. Soon, soone recognized this netizen.
【I know this person, he’s really amazing at Go!】
【I’ve seen him in other Go strears' rooms. He’s challenged a lot of strears!】
【I heard this guy used to be a professional Go player. An average person really can't beat him!】
【Now we should be able to see if the strear is the real deal.】
【…】
The crowd in the stream was chattering amongst themselves, and Zhou Yan couldn't help but worry.
“Lin Fan, can sister-in-law win against this person?”
“Hmph, just watch quietly.”
Lin Fan huffed lightly, his expression calm and composed, without the slightest trace of worry.
From Long Yue’s relaxed and at-ease expression, he couldn't see any nervousness or worry in her. Her face was full of the confidence and composure of her forr empress self.
Just based on this deanor of hers, he determined that she absolutely could not lose!
“This Empress will give you a handicap. You can go first.”
Long Yue propped her cheek on one hand and held the mouse with the other. Her lazy and casual words were filled with arrogance and confidence.
Hearing this, the opponent didn't stand on ceremony, vowing in his heart to make her regret it.
Soon, as the first black stone was placed, the Go match officially began.
Long Yue’s eyes stared at the screen with anticipation. Almost as soon as the opponent placed a stone, she imdiately controlled the mouse with one hand and placed her own stone, without the slightest hesitation or pause.
In contrast, her opponent had to think for at least several tens of seconds, or even longer, before each move.
After playing for about half an hour, after Long Yue placed another stone, her opponent, this ti, was left thinking for nearly half an hour without moving.
The crowd in the stream grew more and more confused, while those who knew the ga grew more and more shocked the longer they watched.
【How co he hasn’t made a move after so long?】
【I don't know, maybe he fell asleep.】
【Idiot! He’s thinking!】
【To make this Number One Online Go Player think for so long, the strear must have so real skill!】
【Oh no, could she actually be a real empress?!】
【…】
Long Yue didn't rush the opponent. Instead, with a smile on her lips, she quietly waited for him to place his stone.
In a ga of Go, it was common to encounter an opponent who thought for a long ti.
Once, when she was playing against that old fogey from the Immortal Go Sect, the longest he thought was for a full one hundred years before placing a stone, so long that she had left the Go board, gone into closed-door cultivation, and co out again…
This little bit of waiting ti now was nothing at all.
After waiting for nearly another ten minutes, the netizen nad ‘Number One Online Go Player’, to everyone’s surprise, decisively chose to surrender.
【I lose!】
With that, the Number One Online Go Player exited the ga room and disappeared directly from the stream.
The crowd in the stream was instantly stunned.
【He just surrendered like that?】
【How long have they even been playing? Is the strear that strong?】
【This is the first ti I’ve ever seen him proactively surrender…】
【Holy shit, the strear is really sothing!】
【…】
“Hmph hmph, to be able to see the disparity between us, you are worthy of so praise~”
Long Yue let out two smug huffs, her pretty face full of relief and pride.
In the Immortal Realm, when she played Go with others, regardless of whether she won or lost, her heart had always been unfazed. If she won, she would say a simple, “You let win.” If she lost, she would admit it frankly and then issue a challenge again later.
At this mont, winning against these mortals should not have been sothing to be happy about. But the thought of how they had all doubted her strength and identity before, and had been so sarcastic towards her, left only one word in her heart now:
Satisfying!!
This was much more delightful than defeating those old monsters from the Immortal Go Sect!
“Next, are there any others among you who wish to challenge This Empress~?”
