Now that he has made up his mind, Li Xiangping began to use the account "Jueyi" to play chess on Qingfeng.com.

He knew that if he wanted to play against "Dragon Flying Tiger", then this account had to be eye-catching enough and show enough strength. And if you want to show your strength on the Go website, the most common and direct way is of course to go straight to 9D with an undefeated record and become the so-called "straight 9".

The starting rank of Qingfeng can be registered as 5D, and according to the rule that you can upgrade to two stages by winning 20 games in a row, then if you want to rise to 9D in Qingfeng, you only need to win 40 games in a row. To be honest, it's not that difficult. Even Li Xiangping himself, he had several accounts that went straight to nine D in his previous life, not to mention that there is a "plug-in" now.

However, as a "person who has come over", Li Xiangping knows that if he wants to achieve this goal, the biggest difficulty does not come from his own strength, but to prevent all kinds of "accidents".

These "accidents" mainly include three categories: the first is the accident of unstable network disconnection, the second is the encounter with Laipi, and the third is the encounter with "landmines".

Due to Lao Shi's existence, it is no longer difficult to encounter "landmines", and from a certain point of view, Li Xiangping even hopes to encounter "landmines" in the process.

Because those who are qualified to be "mines" must be masters, and there are so many Go masters in China, this is a very small circle, if you can step on the "mines" and go straight to 9D, to be honest, it is difficult for the account of "Superb Art" not to attract attention.

"Landmines" are not a problem, but Li Xiangping has no way to deal with the first two kinds of "accidents", and he has no way to stop people from cheating, let alone prevent the problem of disconnection.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Li Xiangping was cautious in the process of this upgrade.

Each opponent he is carefully selected, this selection is not to see the strength of the opponent, but to look at the opponent's chess, as long as it is the kind of person with a very high line break rate, Li Xiangping will resolutely not play with him, this is Li Xiangping's valuable experience in playing chess on the Internet all year round.

It is because of this caution that this upgrade is particularly slow. Although he has a lot of time in the hospital now, he still plays less than 10 games a day, and it took him and Lao Shi to reach 35 consecutive victories together, and they are still short of the last 5 games of chess to go straight to 9D.

On the evening of the fifth day, Li Xiangping had dinner early, and then logged on to Qingfeng.com, preparing to spend one night to complete the task of ascending to 9D.

After logging in to the website, the first thing Li Xiangping saw was an announcement at the top of the website:

The "Qingfeng" Yipintang" VS "Lei Meng" 7-7 ring match officially started at 7 o'clock this evening, and the majority of chess friends are welcome to go to the court. ”

Li Xiangping seemed to smile slightly, to say that there are many kinds of chess friends on the Go website in these years, and the competitions organized by the chess players themselves are also full of tricks, which can be regarded as a feature of this era.

If it is only for the amateur field, there are actually more online competitions in these years than in later generations. Therefore, when Li Xiangping first saw this announcement, he didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just that when he saw the vanguard of the two sides and saw the two familiar accounts, Li Xiangping was happy, and he said to Lao Shi: "Brother Ding'an, let's play chess slowly today and watch the game first." ”

Because there are too many chess player competitions in recent years, almost every day, so many that even Lao Shi is a little immune:

"Well, why is that? Could it be that the level of these two is extremely high? ”

"Hehe, the level of these two people is not too high, not to mention you, Brother Ding'an, even I am confident that I will win these two, but these two happen to be known to me, and they are just my acquaintances."

"Acquaintances?"

"That's right, let's talk about the pioneer "Lei Meng" first, Brother Ding'an still remembers the game of chess we played two days ago, that is, you said that the opponent is close to the "second-hand" level? ”

Of course, this Lao Shi has an impression, you must know that two days ago, the "mastery" was only 5D17 consecutive wins, and in Qingfeng 5D can meet what Lao Shi said "close to the second-hand level", it must be a "landmine", in fact, in these days, that is, the opponent's level is the highest, so Lao Shi must have an impression.

Lao Shi didn't answer, but he remembered another thing: "Oh yes, I see that this name is "Duowen Heavenly King", and we met a "Duowen Heavenly King" a few days ago, are these two ......?"

Li Xiangping nodded: "That's right, these two are the same person, this person created the Axe Gang in Lianzhong, but he made a "Thunder Alliance" in Qingfeng, the so-called "Thunder Alliance" actually means "Mine Alliance". For example, the chess player we met that day must be a "landmine", and what these people like to do most is to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and take pleasure in preventing others from advancing to the next level. ”

"Hehe, that's the case, it's interesting, it's kind of interesting."

Seeing that Lao Shi seemed a little unimpressed, Li Xiangping decided to add some more fierce material to him:

"Brother Ding'an, you have been here for some time now, you must know a little bit about the controversy over ancient chess, the current Go world is divided into two factions, one is the derogatory school, the other is the ancient faction, and this Duowen Heavenly King, but he is an extreme derogatory faction, he often publishes some articles on the forum, and he does his best to belittle your chess ability, and he even thinks that you may not be able to play him."

Hearing this, Lao Shi was silent.

In addition to playing chess in the past few days, Li Xiangping will also take him to the forum, the purpose is to let him understand the current situation of the Go world, so of course he has heard of the most popular "ancient and modern dispute" in the Go forum.

Lao Shi didn't answer this, but changed the topic: "What about the other side, who is this "evil gentleman" who is the pioneer of "Yipintang"? ”

Hearing Lao Shi's words, Li Xiangping smiled slightly, and he simply replied with a few words:

"This one, but it's my father."

"Hahaha, it turned out to be Ling Zun, then it's no wonder, that's okay, then let's not play chess first, so as to cheer Ling Zun."

Li Xiangping laughed with Lao Shi for a while, and then added: "If Duowen is an extreme derogatory faction, then my father is an extreme ancient faction, by the way, my father also highly respects Brother Ding'an, such as why I am called this name now, Brother Ding'an must be able to guess it now." ”

Lao Shi nodded: "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou." ”

Li Xiangping listened to it, but he didn't expect that this Shi Xiangxia Shi Daqi Saint would come to such a sentence.

Li Xiangping continued to say to Lao Shi: "Not only is my father a Chonggu faction, but this "Yipintang" where my father is located is actually organized by a group of lovers of the Chonggu faction, so Brother Ding'an, you know now, this ring match between these two gangs is actually a head-to-head confrontation between the Chonggu faction and the degrading ancient faction. ”

Since Li Xiangping has explained so much, of course there is nothing to say, and there is a reason to watch this game.

Next, the two were not busy playing chess, waiting for this game of "Yipintang" and "Lei Alliance" vanguard battle.

While waiting, Lao Shi asked Li Xiangping: "Since Xiangping Xiaoyou is familiar with these two, what do you think of the outcome of this next game of chess?" ”

Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "Although I personally hope that my father can win, but to tell the truth, compared with his opponent, my father should not be strong, and he has little chance of winning." ”

Li Xiangping is indeed telling the truth, to say that although his father Li Yuanhu also has a 5 level, and is still a relatively strong 5 industry, otherwise it would be impossible to represent "Yipintang". It's just that compared with the provincial champion-level amateur master like "Duowen", his level is still not enough, and it can't be said that there is no chance at all, but it is certain that he is at a disadvantage.

"Okay, Brother Ding'an, don't say much, they're here, let's watch the chess first, as for their level, Brother Ding'an can judge for himself when they wait."

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the match between "King of Smell" and "Evil Gentleman" officially began. Although it is also an hour of slow chess for each side, since it is an amateur game, the speed must be relatively fast, and in less than 7:30 o'clock, the two sides have played more than 50 moves.

From this time on, Li Xiangping began to ask Lao Shi to comment on the chess strength of both sides, which is also what Li Xiangping likes to let Lao Shi do most in addition to playing chess in the past few days.

"The genealogy has been passed down through the generations, and it is inconsistent. Since the Holy Dynasty, there have been many celebrities and outstanding sages. Such as the novelty of Zhou Donghou, the density of Zhou Lazy, the super-anecdote of Wang Hannian, and the remoteness of Huanglongshi. It is the winner of Xu Xingyou, the winner of Qingmin, Lou Zien, the winner of Wulaiyi, the winner of Liang Weijin, the winner of Cheng Lanru, and the winner of Fan Xiping......"

Thinking about such a high-level review, it is from Lao Shi's mouth, so Li Xiangping feels that even if it is not a chess game, it is a very interesting thing to listen to Lao Shi's comments.

"Brother Ding'an, what do you think of the level of these two?"

"Yes, yes, I see that Lingzun is a chess player, not stained with dust, although he enters by white provocation, it is also a first glimpse of the doorway, and it seems to be ...... if he does not know the specifics."

Li Xiangping interrupted him with a smile: "Brother Ding'an, don't drag the text with me, talk about the key point, you can say that he is about a few hands level." ”

"This.... Ling Zun already has the strength of "three hands", well, it won't be wrong, three hands ......."

Li Xiangping continued to interrupt him with a smile: "Brother Ding'an's words are polite, I know, since you say so, then you must think that he has not reached the "third hand", at most barely reaching the "four hand" level, right?" ”

"This.... Hey. ”

Then what do you think of this "King of Knowledge", and what level is he? ”

Hearing Li Xiangping's question, Lao Shi was a little more serious:

"Are you asking Duowen this person, well, although there are only dozens of hands, but the leopard in the tube, only from the previous process, this person has really had the level of "three hands". ”

Hearing this, Li Xiangping was happy: "Hehe, it turns out that you think he is only at the level of "three hands"......"

But before Li Xiangping finished speaking, he suddenly heard Lao Shi say this:

"Yikes! This is going to be bad, Ling Zun can't grasp the essentials of this move, and the situation may take a sharp turn for the worse. ”
