After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 138 137. Reform
"Zhan Lang, congratulations in advance on securing the first and second place."

It's the eighth round of the World Talent Showdown. Zhan Lang arrived at the competition venue early today. Although he wanted to sleep a little longer due to his tired body, he had to get up.

After today's competition, Zhan Lang's schedule is completely over. Tomorrow, other people will compete and Zhan Lang will rest for a day. Finally, after the results of the competition are out, there will be an award ceremony.

Wang Linjie, who represented Baodao, also came over and greeted Zhan Lang.

Zhan Lang won all the first seven rounds, while Sato Toshito had five wins and one loss. Whoever wins today will directly lock in the championship.

The reason is simple, because Sato Toshito's opponent tomorrow is Wang Linjie.

Wang Linjie said, isn’t it just the Japanese 7th dan?

If he dares to come, he dares to lose.

If Zhan Lang wins today, then Zhan Lang will have won eight games and will be a 100% champion.

If they lost, Zhan Lang and Sato Toshito would both have seven wins and one loss, but since Sato Toshito defeated Zhan Lang who had seven wins, his score would be higher, and Zhan Lang would have to take second place with the same score but slightly lower.

But no matter what, the top two places of the championship and runner-up have actually been locked in advance, and will only be between Zhan Lang and Sato Toshito.

So far, in the whole game, only Wang Linjie and Li Shiqing from South Korea have not won a game, all of them have six losses and no wins.

Wang Linjie has also made up his mind to take on this Korean kid today and win a victory.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if we couldn't win a single game after competing in Japan for such a long time.

As for whether he would lose today, Wang Linjie was not worried at all.

When dealing with this Korean kid, everyone else won, so how could I be the only one who lost?

Impossible, guaranteed win.

Seeing Wang Linjie's confident look, Zhan Lang, who had played a round with the Korean kid, couldn't help but remind him: "You'd better be careful, this kid is quite good."

Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a professional level, it has actually reached the level of a water profession.

At least they are much stronger than the three in his own family. At one point, Zhan Lang even wanted to poach some of them.

After all, it is quite rare to reach this level at the age of eleven.

"Don't worry, but he should think about your matter carefully. Really, your talent should be used in a better place."

Listening to the rhetoric that Wang Linjie had been using these days, Zhan Lang just smiled and said nothing.

I have been united by the other side because of my identity, but your united front work is just based on words, without giving any actual benefits, and it all depends on empty promises.

It’s exactly the same routine as the immigration agencies later on, a bright future all depends on talk.

At least they still have a sugar-coated bullet. Zhan Lang was originally thinking about eating the sugar coating and returning the bullet.

In the end, you didn't give me any benefits at all, and it was all just a pure empty promise.

Not to mention that even if Zhan Lang knew it from a God's perspective, he would not be fooled even if he didn't know it. Otherwise, wouldn't his IQ be as high as that of a donut?
Seeing that Zhan Lang refused to take the bait, Wang Linjie was not discouraged.

After all, this kind of thing requires long-term work and has a gradual and subtle influence.

If it succeeds, I will be happy. If it fails, there is no loss on my side. It is just a matter of talking.

If Zhan Lang heard that these people were doing well, he could use them as positive examples to lure other people. Look how well they are doing, what are you waiting for?
As for if you are having trouble making your life, have no food to eat or even die, that is none of your business. It is your own choice. What does it have to do with us?

At least you're free.

After saying a few words, Wang Linjie left directly. After all, today's game was very important to him. Compared with affecting Zhan Lang, his own affairs were the most important. Zhan Lang also walked to the front of the seat and sat down, waiting for his opponent to arrive.

On the other side, Fujii Hideaki, 9th dan, who had worked last night, couldn't help yawning as he sat in his seat.

Today is such a crucial game. I should have had a good rest yesterday. I was overworked.

"Takenouchi, you're here too? What strong wind brought you here?"

Looking at Katsuya Takenouchi who entered the chess viewing room, Fujii Hideaki greeted him sleepily.

Takenouchi Katsuya looked at Fujii Hideaki who entered the market early and said helplessly: "You are still asleep today, right? I am here to explain the market today, how could you not come?"

If I don't come, who will explain it to you? Will you come on stage?

Looking at your current state, I’m afraid you’ll fall asleep in the middle of your talk.

“Yes, if you hadn’t told me, I would have forgotten. You are here to explain it today.

Who else was there? Keiko and the others?"

Fujii Hideaki seemed to remember something and nodded.

Today the chess viewing room is open to the public, allowing chess fans to enter and watch. Of course, professional players are also invited to provide explanations of the game.

And Katsuya Takenouchi was invited today to explain the focus game between China and Japan.

After all, this match is very likely to directly determine the champion of this competition.

"This time it can be regarded as shooting oneself in the foot. Even if Sato Toshito wins, Zhan Lang's reputation will not suffer much, and it can even be further enhanced."

After all, Zhan Lang also has a record of seven wins and one loss. Even if he lost a game, it cannot cover up Zhan Lang's strength.

To some extent, it also further helped Zhan Lang become famous in the Japanese chess world.

China's next generation of professions can already compete with Japan.

Sato Toshito's victory can only be the last fig leaf for Japanese Go. At least the young elite generation of Japan has not been defeated.

When Fujii Hideaki heard this, he said nonchalantly: "Anyway, my legs and feet are not good, so I can't feel the impact.

If you ask me, instead of suppressing others, those old guys should think about how to promote the development of the younger generation.

I think the league system proposed by China, which is similar to the league system of other ball sports, is very good. China does not have the commercial capital to set it up, but we now have a large number of companies lining up to sponsor us, and it has been launched.

We can do what they can’t do, but those old guys are just sitting there doing nothing and think that the existing news chess game is enough and there is no need to change anything.”

The poor will change, the change will pass, and the common will last.

When things reach a point of extreme difficulty and exhaustion, they must change. Only after the change can they become clear, and only after they become clear can they last.

But in the eyes of the Japan Go Association, Japanese Go is thriving, so wouldn't it be asking for trouble if they made random changes now?
Who is responsible if something goes wrong?
Who bows?
Who is Smith?
Who will get off the seat?

Who committed suicide by seppuku?
So just keep the current status quo.

You have only heard of weak countries reforming their laws, but why do strong countries need to reform?

On the other side, the game officially began.

Sato Toshito plays black and makes a move.
