Who asked him to play Go!

Chapter 264: Someone come and kill Shi Yu, we will do anything!
time flies.

As spring turns to summer, the temperature rises sharply.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Yingshi Cup has arrived.

The sea welcomes all chess players with its majestic momentum.

"Okay! Let's go aboard today!"

Shi Yu stepped onto the cruise ship and looked around at the scenery.

This is the first stop of the Yingshi Cup, Japan's Tokyo Bay, the other-dimensional port that is said to have 500 million tons of coal, 300 million tons of rare earths, 45 million tons of stainless steel, and several Gundams buried underneath.

But in the real world, this is just an ordinary harbor. In addition to the pleasant scenery and rows of buildings, there is also the deadly sea water that can make triathletes vomit.

"Wow! What a huge cruise ship!" Tang Zongxuan was also the first to exclaim.

"Wow! What a beautiful ocean!" Jian Wusheng also agreed.

"What the hell! Okay. Just say what the hell!" Ke Jue was also very excited.

These consecutive "f*ck" made Shi Yu feel numb.

This group of people expose their cultural level the moment they open their mouths.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, when they say it, it all becomes "Oh shit".

"By the way, why are you all here?" Shi Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Nonsense, you're already playing in the Yingshi Cup. If this were in an anime, it might be the last few episodes. How can we not come?" Tang Zongxuan said confidently.

Today is the beginning of May, and it is also the day when the Yingshi Cup officially starts.

The selection process is still cruel and intense, with old players constantly falling and newcomers constantly rising to the top.

After the competition, thirty-two chess players boarded the cruise ship leading to the highest glory.

Unfortunately, the upset that Shi Yu hoped to see did not occur. His loyal guards were defeated one after another and none of them made the cut.

But this does not affect them from buying tickets and boarding the ship as tourists.

The loyal trio who lived under the eaves of Dabieye were present again, everyone wearing flowered shirts and shorts, as if the final destination of this ship was not Singapore, but Hawaii.

Unfortunately, Lu Sizhu died in the qualifying round and could only buy a ticket to enter the venue at his own expense.

"My thoughts are the same as those three. I'm here to cheer you up," she said seriously.

Shi Yu nodded thoughtfully.

If this sentence is translated into classical Chinese, it would probably be "Me too".

Say something.

Shi Yu also felt that facing this kind of scenery, the best feeling he could have was a respectful "Fuck".

This ship was rented from a Japanese cruise company. It was originally a luxury cruise ship called Princess Everlasting, equipped with swimming pools, bars, concert halls and other facilities.

After the company reached a cooperation with this year's Yingshi Cup, the interior decoration has been completely renewed. Decorations with Go elements can be seen everywhere inside, and most of the passengers who bought tickets and boarded the ship are Go fans.

Of course, there were also many chess players like the loyal trio who were not selected, but who bought tickets at their own expense to get on board in order to get a glimpse of the fame. Looking around, the boat was full of familiar faces.

Not only are all the Chinese chess players familiar to me, but the Japanese and Korean players are also more familiar to me than others, for example.
"Shi↑yu↓!"

"Shi ↓ Yu ↑!"

"Shi-Yu-!"

Shi Yu×1×2×× I don’t know how much.

"Is this the end? Every time I go out to participate in a world competition, the number of psychopaths automatically increases a lot, right?"

Shi Yu turned his head away with shame all over his face.

Not surprisingly, he saw old acquaintances again. When the names of Li Xiantie, Jingshan Yao, Liu Yonghuan, and You Mao were announced, it always gave people a feeling that many heroes of Tongliao had risen up, comparable to the Khan's military recruitment.

This time, in addition to the four old Japanese and Korean giants, Xu Xian from Taiwan also joined the team. How can we have a grudge against each other? Didn’t we just play that one game at the Asian Games?

Even though that game was about the championship or runner-up, I didn't provoke you before the game, nor did I use you after the game. So how come you were also promoting or demoting me?

Xu Xian seemed to have noticed that he was out of place among this group of people, and spoke awkwardly:
"I saw everyone was calling your name like that, so I couldn't help myself."

Well, this can create such a great atmosphere, so you can’t help yourself, right?
"Wait, who are you? Why don't I have any impression of you?"

Shi Yu glanced to the side and found a very unfamiliar face among the group of people, but he felt like he had seen it somewhere.

"I'm Li Xiantie! You said you have no impression of me, is that a provocation?" Li Xiantie was furious.

"What? You are Li Xiangtie?" Shi Yu was stunned.

Looking at this man again, he found that his body shape and temperament were exactly the same as Li Xiantie.

"You were taken away?"

"What do you mean I was possessed? I just had a haircut! Don't you recognize me?"

"This"

Today's Tiezi Ge is finally no longer the bitter and vengeful person who is isolated from human civilization.

He finally shaved off his hair, which was so thick that it affected the cityscape, and swept away the inhumanity he had shown for the past year and a half.

No wonder Shi Yu couldn't recognize this person at first glance.

The last time he saw Tiezige like this was during the Xinlong Cup, which was a long time ago. In his mind, the other party's image had long been equated with that of an urban ape.

Moving.

Brother Tiezi finally recovered from his illness!

"I reiterate once again that I strictly abided by my promise not to cut my hair until I defeated you. I didn't go to the barber shop because I couldn't help myself!"

Li Xiantie is full of righteousness.

"You defeated me? When?" Shi Yu was stunned.

“3月5号21:44，房间号36336，这么一说你想起来了吗？”

this.
Oh, so your so-called victory has been devalued to just winning in online chess, right?

Also, it's fine if you just write down the date, accurate to the minute, but no normal human being would write down the room number as well! Are you going to use this string of numbers as an epitaph?
"Oh, I remember now. It seems that you did win that game." Shi Yu pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

Weird.

Not to mention that Shi Yu didn't remember the time of that game of chess, he even had no recollection of playing online chess with Li Xiantie.

After the Fourth Time Reverse Alliance was ignominiously killed, they did not immediately give up sneak attacks, but went underground.

He no longer sought to use a low-level trumpet to harm Shi Yu, but instead aimed to reach the ninth level.

During that time, Shi Yu was fighting with a group of conjoined twins all day long, and he no longer cared who the account ID was.

Say nothing.

Respect, understanding, blessing.

Suddenly, Jingshan also stepped out and stood forward.

"You also have something to announce?" Shi Yu asked vigilantly.

"At this point, there's nothing more to say. See you at the game tomorrow." Iyama smoothed his hair, revealing a pair of sharp eyes.

Shi Yu agreed with this point.

There is nothing left to say.

Over the past year, we have fought against each other for many times, and the grudges and hatreds have long been a mess. Losing one more game is not too much, and winning one more game is also not too little. Looking back carefully, the number of games that everyone has won against Shi Yu in the past year can be counted on one hand, unless online chess is included, the number can be made a little better.

Even so, this was almost the last time, and everyone was like a madman, raising or lowering their levels before the game.

After all, everyone is tired of the ups and downs all day long and wants to find an opportunity to break up.

Go to war!
“Welcome all contestants to this stage. I hope this journey will become an indelible memory in your mind!”

At noon, the unveiling ceremony was held in the hall inside the cabin.

The last time I saw such a luxurious Go lineup was at the Asian Games, when players and veterans from all sides gathered together.

No, the lineup is even bigger than that Asian Games.

During the Asian Games, not many veterans from various countries came, but this time, almost all parties came out in full force.

Especially here in Japan, Shi Yu took a look and saw that they were all familiar faces, all of them were seniors who had given him great material support during the Go Saint War. It was very touching.

"Come on! No matter who it is, come and kill Shi Yu. We will do anything!"

I kept thinking about Lao Deng in my heart.

In the eyes of many Japanese chess fans and players, this Yingshi Cup carries a strong sense of the Twilight of the Gods.

In other words, if Shi Yu was defeated, Shenting could still survive.

But if Shi Yu succeeds in winning the championship, the world might really usher in Shi Yu's ultimate domination. While others are in their prime, he might be in his undefeated period.

This Ying Cup is the only chance to stop him.

If we fail this time, the Japanese Chess Saint War will start soon. How can we use our heads to stop him?

Therefore, we must snipe Shi Yu in this Yingshi Cup!

"Next, please invite our eight most popular chess players to come on stage."

The unveiling ceremony came to the last moment, and the top chess players representing each region, voted by chess fans, came to the stage one by one.

Shi Yu, Gu Shengshan, Jingshan Yao, Ye Shenliao, Jiang Changhao, Li Xiantie, Xu Xian, Yu Yuanjun.

"Hey, God Liao, you are shortlisted again?" Shi Yu was overjoyed.

With this calculation, Liao Shen is the man who has been with her the longest. From the Xinlong Cup to now, he has not missed a single game, even this small same-color chess competition.

Ye Shen Liao wanted to cry but had no tears.

A large part of the reason why he could meet Shi Yu in various major competitions was due to the overall poor performance of the Japanese division.

The ability to be voted in was thanks to the strong publicity campaign at home.

Damn it! I don't believe it. Can you really catch me every time?

"Excuse me, do you have any comments you would like to make about participating in this same-color chess competition?" asked the host.

"I'm very happy to receive the care of chess fans this time. I didn't prepare much in advance for this same-color chess game, but I hope I can win a few more games." Gu Shengshan smiled.

Jiang Changhao's answer was similar:

"I think the same-color chess is very interesting and suitable for promotion as a Go program. In addition to hoping to win on it, I also hope to use it to quickly enter the game state."

"What about you, Shi Yu? I hope you can give us some different answers."

The host handed the microphone to Shi Yu expectantly.

Shi Yu spoke modestly:
"I have been looking forward to this same-color chess match for a long time, but unfortunately, since it was announced too suddenly, I didn't have much preparation. I also hope that I can win a few more games."

Dazhu was mumbling in the corner: "This guy is talking nonsense again. I heard from Nie Lan that he was the one who proposed this competition."

"Let me ask you a few off-topic questions. I heard that you, Shi Yu, haven't practiced chess for a long time. You've focused all your energy on live streaming. Can you talk about your experience during this period?"

"I swear to God, I have not neglected my chess practice. Live streaming is just a way for me to regulate my nerves. I have worked hard. Sometimes I play 21 online chess games a day."

"Really? You haven't been doing any live broadcasts recently. What have you been using to regulate your nerves privately?" The host smiled.

“I watch a play.”

"What drama? Which country?"

"Korean drama." Shi Yu thought about it.

This answer made the Korean chess players and fans present here feel very respected.

What? Don’t look at Shi Yu maneuvering on the chessboard, shaking the handle frantically as if Korean Go is a joke maker.

But outside the chessboard, we still have to bow down to South Korea's entertainment soft power that is enough to shock the world!

"What is the title of the drama? Can you recommend it to everyone?" the host continued to ask.

"The Fifth Republic." Shi Yu answered naturally.

"This is a very addictive Korean drama. I recommend everyone to watch it."

"The Fifth Republic?" The host's smile suddenly froze.

Not to mention the Koreans present.

Any human being would be frozen upon hearing this answer.

Your grandma's
When we imagine Korean dramas, we mean idol dramas, the kind with handsome men and beautiful women filling the screen. You call this the Fifth Republic? Korean dramas???

So if someone asked you to recommend a Japanese drama, would you answer "Ah Navy"? And specifically ask for a Chinese dubbing version?

"Ahem, let's just draw lots directly." The host said with a tingling scalp.

I didn't dare ask any more questions, and the process fast-forwarded to the lottery stage.

Although this same-color chess competition only serves as an appetizer, the organizers still give it due solemnity.

The departure time overlaps with the start time of the first game of chess.

Even do it once a day.

The rules are also the classic Ying rules, slow chess + time penalty system.

Only at this level can the bug of [playing chess in a dream] be encountered.

He reached into the cardboard box and a piece of paper fell into Shi Yu's hand.

Number 7 plays against 8.

Shi Yu turned his head and his eyes met Jiang Changhao's.

He is 8.

Click!
The shutters in the audience flashed frequently, the chess fans were cheering and applauding, and the chess players followed suit, sighing, shaking their heads, and smiling and applauding.

"Extra! A shocking episode, Shi Yu vs. Jiang Changhao, the most watched episode yet!"

Nie Lan was also slightly surprised: "This kid has been grumbling about wanting to play a game with Jiang Changhao, but he ends up meeting him so soon?"

Shi Yu was also caught by surprise.

Perhaps it was because he had always encountered the boss at the last level recently, which made him subconsciously think that this time would be the same as always, and he would face Jiang Changhao on the third day.

Unexpectedly, this time it suddenly stopped being metaphysical and became directly scientific.

"That's exactly what I want." Shi Yu nodded, with a fighting spirit rising in his heart.

Jiang Changhao didn't have much to say about the result and remained expressionless.

Cruise ship, set sail!
