Chapter 18: Showing Ambition

June 28, Sijiu City.

Early in the morning, the 49 Chess Academy was very lively, and dozens of media and reporters at home and abroad carried long guns and short cannons to interview the chess players who came to participate in and watch the game, as well as the president of the Tianni Stick Three Kingdoms Chess Academy.

This time, the Shangguan people challenged the masters of the Three Kingdoms Nine Sections, and the victory and defeat were put aside for the time being, but for the president of the Three Kingdoms Chess Academy, it was a rare opportunity to promote Go to the world.

Go is a sport that mainly has a market in the Asia-Pacific region, but other countries are not particularly concerned about it, for many reasons, but the biggest reason is that Go is a mental sport, for smart and reserved East Asians, it is a very interesting exercise for brain power, but for those straightforward foreigners, Go is too complicated, and many of its professional words are not easy to translate, in the final analysis, it is a personality incompatibility.

Foreigners prefer outdoor sports, while East Asians prefer to use their brains, so in terms of physique alone, foreigners are better than East Asians, but intellectually speaking, East Asians are better, people who have been abroad should know that many foreigners buy things in the store, and the addition and subtraction of ten digits have to use calculators, which shows that foreigners do not like to use their brains, have developed limbs, and have a simple mind, which is a foreigner.

So some people ask, why are East Asians smart, but the world's highest technology is in the hands of Westerners?

The reason is very simple, because the East Asians are too smart, so for the rulers of East Asian countries, this is absolutely not conducive to the rule, so the monarchs of the three kingdoms of Tianni stick have been adopting the policy of fooling the people since ancient times, as well as imposing various rules and regulations, so that the people under their rule follow the rules and do not allow all kinds of 'fallacies and heresies', otherwise they will be regarded as heretics, not only will they be excluded, but their own safety cannot be guaranteed.

If the people of the Celestial Empire had focused on the development of science and technology from the beginning, the Celestial Empire might have entered the space age more than a thousand years ago. How can there be a chance for Westerners to get stuck.

Even in modern times, East Asians still have a lot of rules and regulations, so it is difficult for people who stay in East Asian countries to produce scientific and technological achievements, while those East Asians who go out of East Asian countries shine in countries all over the world, this is because they are not bound by those rules and regulations in other countries, their minds are emancipated, and their own potential is maximized.

This can be seen in the education of the East and the West.

Parents in the West educate their children to let them think for themselves. Do it yourself, never restrain and limit your child in anything.

And parents in the East educate their children, always 'you can't do this', 'you can't do that', 'you should do this', 'you should do that', parents have restricted their children's thoughts to death, how to let children play freely? Right!

However, after the reform and opening up, the Celestial Empire has also emancipated its mind a lot and strengthened its insight. Coupled with the education of all, as well as the explosive development of the Internet and media, it is becoming more and more difficult for the officials of the Celestial Empire to do it, because the people of the Celestial Empire are smart! It's not easy to fool around! So many corrupt officials have fallen from power. Many of the super-rich have gone abroad, and the status of foreigners in the Celestial Empire has also deteriorated, which is a good momentum of development, maybe in another thirty or fifty years. The civilization of the world will completely fall from the West to the East.

And the promotion of Go is also a way for the East to dump civilization to the West!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a black Lamborghini sports car stopped in front of the chess courtyard. The car door opened, and a Shangguan man in a black Armani suit walked out of the car, and the reporter who was interviewing various chess players and the dean saw the Shangguan, like a shark smelling blood, and instantly lost their respective interview subjects, and hula rushed towards the Shangshang.

"Mr. Shangguan, I'm a reporter from OO Station XX, what is your outlook for the results of this ring match?"

"Mr. Shangguan, you are the world's No. 1 martial arts master, the top student in the college entrance examination, and you have won a World Game Championship championship, and you have single-handedly defeated the joint challenge of all the chess players in the 49 Chess Academy, is there anything else you can't do?"

"Mr. Shangguan, you just took on the task of developing the Celestial Empire football basketball not long ago, and now you are challenging the Go masters from all walks of life, what do you think?"

"Mr. Shangguan, say a few words!"

"Mr. Shangguan, please accept our interview."

"Mr. Shangguan......"

Facing the many reporters who came around, Shangguan Nengren had a calm smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, I will only answer three questions, one reporter from each of the three countries of Tianni Stick, you will come and ask me after discussing it yourself, please forgive me for not cooperating with more than three." ”

After Shangguan Nengren kicked the ball back to the reporters, these reporters immediately started a battle in the open and dark, and the reporters of the Three Kingdoms began to use their qualifications and connections to suppress people, and finally among the reporters of the Three Kingdoms of the Heavenly Mud, the reporters of the Imperial Court Station of the Celestial Empire, the NHK reporters of the mud bombardment, and the KBS reporters of the sticks got the final right to ask questions.

First of all, the reporter of the Celestial Empire asked: "Mr. Shangguan, I am Xu Li, a reporter from the Imperial Court Station, why did you suddenly participate in this Go tournament?" Is it really just to get the number of Go segments and join the 49 Chess Academy? ”

Shangguan Nengren smiled slightly and said: "Actually, my ultimate goal is just to prove that I am the world's No. 1 Go master, and participating in this ring tournament is just a stepping stone for me to become the world's No. 1. Next. ”

The stick reporter immediately came over to squeeze Xu Li away, and asked with a smile on his face: "Hello Mr. Shangguan, I am Park Renmeng, a reporter from Bangzi KBS TV, and my question is: You have made unbeatable achievements in many fields in the past, so what are your goals in the future?" Is it to become the best person in the world in all fields? ”

Hearing this question, Shangguan Nengren smiled faintly and said: "Speaking of which, I really have this idea, in the past, I have already achieved the king of world martial arts, the world's first divine doctor, the world's first master of calligraphy and painting, and also won a world game championship championship, and this time I will become the title of the world's first person in Go."

In addition, I want to be the first chess player in the Celestial Empire, the world's first chef, the world's first pastry chef, the world's first winemaker, the world's first racing driver, the world's first piano master, the world's first mathematician, the world's first physicist, and the world's first chemist. The world's first biologist......

In short, as long as it is the field I want to participate in, I want to become the number one in the world, but this needs to be done step by step, my goal this time is to become the first person in the world to go, and all the masters of Celestial Empire Chess are also in the chess academy, in addition to the game of Go, I also want to win the title of the first person in Celestial Empire Chess by the way, and in a few days, I will go to the Celestial Empire Art Academy. Challenge the two ancient musical instruments of the Celestial Empire - Qin and Se, I hope you will wait and see. Last one. ”

"Uh-huh-"

After listening to this answer from Shangguan, the scene was in an uproar, and after the uproar, there was incomparably madness, and all the reporters were flushed with excitement and trembled all over.

Big news! Big news! Shangguan Nengren's boast is so great that all journalists can imagine that when this report is disseminated through newspapers and the Internet, the whole world will fall into a frenzy.

Although the mud bombardment reporter has not asked questions yet. But all the reporters are already satisfied, just this one news is enough for them to be promoted and raised, and maybe they can't get a suite......

"Hello, Mr. Shangguan. I'm Kotomi Aso, a reporter for Niho NHK TV, and at the same time, I'm also a big fan of yours. "The mud bombardment reporter is a beautiful woman in her twenties, about 1.6 meters tall. Although the figure is not hot, it is also quite attractive, facing capable people. I'm a little shy.

Shangguan was able to see it, and smiled: "This is my honor." ”

Kotomi Aso was suddenly excited, but she did not forget her task, she held back the excitement in her heart, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Mr. Shangguan, what kind of girl do you like?" Is it youth fashion? Gentle and considerate? Cheerful and generous? Or is it wild and moving? Like Mud Bomb Girls? ”

"Uh......" If it weren't for the press card around Aso's neck, Shangguan really wondered if she was a sports reporter? This question is too lacklustre, could it be that all the sports reporters who are muddy bombarded have changed careers from entertainment? β€œ

When the other reporters heard this question, they immediately burst into laughter, and at the same time looked at Shangguan with schadenfreude, wanting to hear how he would answer?

Shangguan Nengren coughed dryly and said: "I don't have a special preference for girls, in my opinion, any kind of girl has its shining charm, of course, except for bad girls, I don't like bad girls, in addition, I prefer the type of girls like Mud Bang and Nadeshiko, gentle and considerate girls are always more liked by men, aren't they?" ”

After speaking, Shangguan Nengren nodded with a smile, squeezed through the entanglement of the reporter group with his strong body, and walked towards the chess courtyard.

At the gate of the Chess Academy, the dean of the Heavenly Dynasty Chess Academy immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Shangguan Capable People tightly: "Shangguan, I've been waiting for you for a long time, I heard it just now, your ambition is not small!" ”

Shangguan Nengren smiled: "People always have some pursuits, since I have such ability, I will try my best to fight for what I want." By the way, all of our chess masters have arrived, right? To be honest, I personally prefer chess to Go. ”

"Don't worry, it's all in there! But are you okay? The dean of the chess academy asked with some concern: "I want to play Go and chess again, can my body bear it?" ”

Shangguan shook his finger: "Dean, you must know that I am a man who has killed a lion, just playing chess, even if it is ten days and ten nights, I will be completely fine." ”

The dean patted his head: "I forgot, okay, don't talk about this, I'll introduce you first, this is the dean of the Chess Academy of Mud Bang and Stick, this time with your participation, our three countries want to promote the game of Go to the world, I hope you can help more." ”

Shangguan didn't care about the promotion of Go, he just had to accomplish his set goals.

shook hands with the deans of the two chess academies and exchanged two pleasantries, but the competent people can speak mud bombardment language, but they can't speak stick language, so the president of the mud bombardment chess academy is very happy, but the president of the stick chess academy is very embarrassed, and the language barrier is difficult to communicate!

After the greetings, the dean of the Three Kingdoms Chess Academy also called the Three Kingdoms chess players who participated in the competition to get to know Shangguan Nengren, Shangguan Nengren had seen these six chess players on TV before, they were all the strongest nine-dan masters of the Three Kingdoms, which can be described as famous, but when facing Shangguan Nengren, the six people behaved quite respectful and humble, obviously they were all shocked by the game of chess on the Internet, and the master is always worthy of respect, all walks of life.

"In order not to delay the time of the two chess players of Mud Bang and Stick, the first and second days of the game will be played by the chess players of the two countries against Mr. Shangguan, and the third day will be the game of our Celestial Empire chess players." When going to the chess room, the dean of the Celestial Empire Chess Academy introduced the order of this competition to the Shangguan, and finally whispered: "Kill the chess players with mud bombardment and sticks a little miserably, can our Celestial Empire chess players be a little merciful?" ”

Shangguan was amused, and whispered, "Dean, don't worry." They are all from the Celestial Empire, so they naturally have to be consistent with the outside world. ”

The dean's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you." ”

"It should."

The morning game starts at nine o'clock, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the game, the Tripartite Chess Academy also stipulates that a game can be played for up to two hours, after all, it is a game of nine dan masters, it is understandable that it takes a little longer, there is more time to think, in order to play a higher level, the Three Kingdoms Chess Academy also hopes that this ring match can become a classic event in the Go world.

At this time, there are still more than ten minutes before the game. Shangguan was sitting at a table with Mao Mao and greeting.

"Brother Shangguan, I found that you are more handsome than on TV, hehe." Mao Mao looked at Shangguan with some: "And he is also very tall, have you found it, it is very suitable for us to stand together." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Shangguan Nengren looked at Mao Mao with a funny face, I have to say that Mao Mao is worthy of being the first beautiful girl in the Go world of the Celestial Empire, and she is indeed beautiful, but this meter nine is so tall that countless males are discouraged. Even if Shangguan has a height of two meters, he feels that this girl is a bit too tall, because girls have the right to wear high heels, which will invisibly pull in the height gap between men and women. If Maomao wore high heels, the two would not be much different even if they stood together.

"Are your parents very tall? Look at how you look, 99% of men in the country have to think twice, and you can only go to the basketball team and volleyball team to pick someone to find a boyfriend in the future. ”

"I'm not going to pick those simple-minded fools with well-developed limbs!" Mao Mao pouted: "It's not that you don't know that the athletes of our Celestial Empire have a low level of education. When I look for a boyfriend in the future, I will definitely find someone who is smart, at least able to play chess with me, such as Brother Shangguan. Hey. ”

Shangguan waved his hand: "I'll forget it, I'm already a family person, and I can't be blessed." ”

"You're married?" Mao Mao asked.

"I'm not old yet, but I have a fiancΓ©e, and I'll get married when I'm old enough." Shangguan said with a smile.

"As long as I'm not married, I still have a chance, and besides, your girlfriend is prettier than me?" Mao Mao posed quite confidently, and some good reporters not far away immediately recorded these shots with cameras and cameras, and it is foreseeable that these photos will bring a lot of popularity to Mao Mao in the future.

Shangguan Nengren smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, my fiancΓ©e is indeed more beautiful than you." ”

"What!?" Maomao's eyes widened: "I don't believe it!" ”

"Believe it or not, you're a little worse than my fiancΓ©e anyway." The upper senses are humane.

"Cut! There is no picture and no truth, you must have fooled me! Mao Mao chuckled: "Brother Shangguan, I'm really good, and my family's economic conditions are also good, although it's much worse than you, I won't let you relieve, and ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Shangguan Nengren sighed lightly, took out his mobile phone, found Li Bingjie's photo in the album, and shook his hair: "This is my fiancΓ©e." With that, he put his phone back in his pocket.

It's just a glimpse of this, Mao Mao was completely stunned, and a sense of frustration that she had never felt before rose from the bottom of her heart, and then she held her head in her hands in frustration and lay on the table: "I lost." ”

……

At nine o'clock, the first game of the Go Ring Tournament began, and the opponent of the Shangguan was the well-known Lee Sedol Jiudan in the stick Go world, Lee Sedol was at his peak, and the only thing that the entire Go world could compete with him was the Guli Jiudan of the Celestial Empire, and all the world championships were won by Lee Sedol, but later Lee Sedol withdrew for a period of time due to physical reasons, and after his comeback a few years ago, he has been in good shape and returned to the public.

But now Lee Sedol can only rank second in the stick Go world, and the first place has become Park Jeong-yoong, and as the second place, Lee Sedol can only be the first to play.

When shaking hands with Lee Sedol, Shangguan found that Li Sedol's chess strength was A-level, which also made Shangguan people full of confidence, although Shangguan people are also A-level, but they can stably play the peak state of A-level, in the existing Go world without any S-level masters who have created a genre, Shangguan's chess skills are enough to kill the world in seconds.

In fact, the chess strength of S-level masters and A-level masters is almost the same, but A-level masters can only play existing genre chess methods, but S-level masters can create unprecedented genres, such as the founder of the cosmic flow back then, Masaki Takemiya, this is an S-level chess player, although now that the cosmic flow has been thoroughly studied, it has become a paper tiger-like genre, but after all, this created a new genre at that time, so Masaki Takemiya can be called an S-level chess player.

It's a pity that with age, Takemiya Masaki's chess strength has also declined rapidly, and it may be difficult to reach even the A-level strength now, but compared to the young chess players who can't create any genre now, Takemiya Masaki is indeed a respectable generation of chess saints in the Go world, and Shangguan can only sigh that he was born at the wrong time and it is difficult to absorb S-level chess skills.

If Lee Sedol is a fist, then the competent man is a big net, no matter how powerful your fist is, it is difficult to break free from the big net, so this game of chess has only been played for more than ten minutes, and Lee Sedol's forehead is covered with cold sweat.

(Do I already owe seventy-five thousand words?) I can't really pick up the festival, but even so, I am updating an average of six or seven thousand words a day! It's good to be able to update so much when you're not in a good state, but since you promised to change everything, the debts you owe always have to be repaid, brothers and sisters, although rest assured, no matter how much you owe, I will definitely pay it back later, not bad) (to be continued......)

PS: Thank you for 'playing the drop-down' and 'it's a pity to insist' for each tipping 100 starting coins, and thank 'danghang' for rewarding 200 starting coins.
