After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 144 143. Star
"Excuse me, are you the fourth dan of the Chinese Zhanlang?"

"Correct."

Looking at the thirty-year-old man speaking Chinese in front of him, Zhan Lang felt a little strange, but still nodded.

Because the other person's Chinese was so poor and his Japanese accent was so heavy, he was definitely not a Chinese.

When the uncle heard this, he couldn't help but show excitement: "It is you, the legendary Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, the Demon King of the Empire!"

"..."

Damn, who gave these nicknames?

It’s another demon, and it’s some kind of demon king.

Even if it's something like a destructive dragon or a fierce tiger, it's fine.

Why don't you call me Oma Zi-O? Destroyer of Worlds?
Zhan Lang felt like he had so much to complain about. How did he become a demon king?
I am just a minor who is 1.85 meters tall and weighs just 160 kilograms.

It is even more impossible to use the chessboard to hit someone to death just because of losing the game.

I feel like "Demon King" is not a good nickname in Japan.

But in fact, the most famous demon king in Japan is Oda Nobunaga. Although he is a demon king, I don’t know how many people worship him.

"I am very interested in Chinese Go. After learning Go, I taught myself Chinese. China is the birthplace of Go, and I have always wanted to visit it.

Especially in the past few years, I saw that your Chinese players defeated our nine-dan players, and this time you swept all the new talents in Japan. I think the future of Go is definitely in China."

"Would you mind signing an autograph for me? I think you will become a top-notch chess player in the future!"

"Thank you, but I don't have a pen."

"I have it here. I have it here. Please sign it directly in my notebook."

"it is good."

Looking at the notebook and pen handed over by the other party, Zhan Lang did not refuse, but he did not expect that there would be fans of Go at the racecourse.

Moreover, the other party brought a pen and a notebook which were obviously used to record other things related to horse racing, and he actually asked me to sign on them.

Looking at the uncle who left contentedly with the autograph, Zhan Lang was somewhat surprised.

The influence of Japanese Go is indeed very high at this time, and the number of Go players in the country is also unprecedentedly high.

For a person of my level to meet Go fans in places that have nothing to do with Go would be unbelievable even decades later.

In their original world, China and South Korea both reaped the benefits from the influence of a leading figure in their own country, but Japan did not have anyone who could take the lead and start another wave of enthusiasm.

Even the phenomenal Go manga Hikaru no Go that later appeared in Japan not only failed to spark a Go craze in Japan, but instead prompted China and South Korea to further learn the game.

A large number of people born in the 90s became interested in learning Go after watching Hikaru no Go. Their own cultural products are helping others, and I don’t know what the Japanese cultural community will think about it.

"How is it? Is it that you can't feel this at home? In Japan, the top Go players are big stars, admired by thousands of people, and I don't know how many people respect them."

Fujii Hideaki appeared behind Zhan Lang at some point, looked at the chess fans leaving, and said something with a smile.

Zhan Lang just shook his head when he heard this: "I just didn't expect that a foreigner like me would be so popular."

I thought that Chinese people winning chess in Japan was just luck.

"Humans admire the strong and are most harsh towards their own people, but are always very tolerant towards outsiders."

Fujii Hideaki fanned himself when he heard this. Admiration for the strong is a universal human psychology, especially in Japanese society. The oppression of the younger generation by the elders is even regarded as a matter of course. The capable should naturally rule over the incapable.

If Zhan Lang cannot defeat the Japanese chess player, no one will care, and no one will even look at him.

But after his consecutive victories, a group of chess fans began to praise Zhan Lang.

Just like South Korea's Li Xiao, who mocked Chinese chess players more than once during his peak period, and even said that there was only one person in China who could play chess, and the others were just playboys.

But even so, I don’t know how many Chinese chess fans admire him so much, and even think that what he says is right and that it is the Chinese who are incompetent.

Even until the years when China was rising the most, Han fans were still active in the Go circle and insisted that Korean Go was the best in the world.

Strength can resolve all doubts.

“You’re going back home tomorrow, so I can only take you for a walk.

I also heard about your competition in China. With the money you have, you can't do this for long.

The stable development of a project cannot be supported by one person alone, so don’t overwork yourself.”

Fujii Hideaki just shook his head. The development of Chinese Go is a long and arduous journey and there will be no improvement without twenty years.

Are there any large companies in China that can offer generous prize money to host competitions like Japan? The answer is no.

If we rely on the government, but there are so many competitions in China, why should we give you more money? What is so special about you?
When you talk about national quintessence, China lacks everything except national quintessence, which is so abundant that people can’t steal it all.

"Who knows? With some of the new stock markets opening up in Magic City, maybe I'm a one-in-a-million investment genius."

Fujii Hideaki couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It's better to believe in mahjong than in stocks."

In Fujii Hideaki's opinion, stock trading is not as practical as gambling by yourself. At least I know how I lost the money, but you don't know it once you invest the money.

Hearing this, Zhan Lang couldn't help but complain: "So you said you took me out to play and came to the racecourse, but there are no horse racing girls here."

Horse racing is something like a legal lottery in Japan and is very popular among middle-aged men.

For example, in the famous comic, there is a middle-aged man named Kogoro Mouri, whose daily routine consists of drinking, buying lottery tickets, and being injected with anesthetic needles.

"I buy one every day out of habit, and then I'll leave after I buy it."

"Then just buy me one. I'll win no matter which one you pick."

Fujii Hideaki laughed out loud when he heard this: "Horse racing is not only about the horse's strength, but also its condition on the day. The review involves a series of calculations.

Don't think of it as a matter of luck, you can even think of it as a science.

This is not like buying a lottery ticket, which is a probabilistic thing. It requires comprehensive consideration..."

“Then buy it.”

"You're giving him money. If he wins..."

Looking at the number seven horse that crossed the finish line first, Fujii Hideaki looked at the number three he bought, then glanced at the number seven in Zhan Lang's hand, and was completely stunned.

"how come……"

"To be honest, I actually have another name called Chen Xiaodao, and I am the direct disciple of the God of Gamblers."
