After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 165 164. The sky is changing
"Aren't you going home for the Dragon Boat Festival? Anyway, there's nothing to do recently, so it's okay for you to stay home for a few more days. Just treat it as a holiday for yourself."

After seeing the Japanese delegation off on the plane, several members of the Chinese national team also took a car back.

The Dragon Boat Festival happened to be right after the China-Japan exchange ended, and many chess players who lived nearby went home.

Although there is no holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival, the Go team does not need to punch in for work like other units, so there is plenty of room for free activities.

Even some writers may not be able to work for three days out of 365 days.

As Zhan Lang is now the focus of the national team, Chen Long, as the top leader, naturally has to ask about his life.

He even waved his hand and decided to give Zhan Lang a few more days off. After all, his successful sniping of Miyamoto Kyudan was a great achievement, so taking a short vacation was not a big deal. After all, there was no mandatory requirement for him to punch in for work.

As for the usual training, it’s actually no big deal if Zhan Lang is delayed for a few days.

The most important thing for Zhan Lang now is the New Sports Cup final with Fang Yuan in more than two months.

This can be said to be a competition that has attracted the attention of the entire Chinese Go national team and even Go fans across the country.

Even in Chen Long's opinion, this competition can have a profound impact on the situation of Chinese Go in the next few years, and even on the future development of Chinese Go.

Don't think that a final is not important and it doesn't make any difference whether you win or lose.

Sometimes a final can even determine a person's luck in chess, and a person's life may be different from then on.

Later in 2006, Gu Dali met Yao Yege, who was only years old, in the final. In the end, he defeated Yao Yege - and won his first world championship in his life. He also started his journey as the number one player in China for several years and won a total of eight world championships.

However, Yao Ye, who was strongly sniped in the final and entered the final for the first time at the age of sixteen, did not have such good luck in the world championships.

It was not until 2013 when he was 24 years old that he entered the world championship finals again and won his first world championship in his life. He only won three world championships in his entire life.

Maybe the three to two that year was another one, and the legend would be rewritten.

Brother Yao Ye can directly break Shifo's record of being the youngest world champion. No one knows what kind of achievements he will make in the future with this momentum.

But this is just a story from another timeline. No one knows what will happen in this timeline, and we can only guess.

Just like many people think that LG in 2001 interrupted Lao Ke’s chess luck, they think that if this game is not lost, Lao Ke should at least still be Nicole.

Because the words "win" and "lose" are so mysterious, there are always all kinds of strange metaphysics circulating in the Go circle.

No one has ever won the LG Cup consecutively, the champion of the Yingshi Cup will inevitably be eliminated in the first round in the next session, and so on. This has been happening repeatedly for decades.

It seems to have no scientific basis, but no one can break the curse.

Chen Long himself actually has some faith in the luck of chess, and thinks that China's luck in chess now lies between Zhan Lang and Fang Yuan.

For example, Zhan Lang’s strength has not yet reached the level of the ninth dan, but this year he was so powerful that he defeated all the other ninth dans and forced his way directly in front of Fang Yuan.

If Fang Yuan can defeat Zhan Lang in the final, Chen Long feels that in the next two to three years, Chinese Go will still be dominated by Fang Yuan.

But if Zhan Lang wins, perhaps the world of Chinese Go will change.

With the change in fortunes, perhaps the entire Chinese Go community will see huge changes.

Thinking of this, Chen Long couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhan Lang who was sitting next to him. Could a 17-year-old boy take on the responsibility of being the number one Go player in China?
If Zhan Lang knew what Chen Long was thinking, he would definitely say without hesitation, "If he can't be a leader at the age of seventeen, how can he survive?"
Others are aiming to be the best in the world at the age of seventeen, so what’s the big deal about being the best in China?
Compared to those who won the world championship at the age of sixteen or seventeen that day, Zhan Lang really felt that he was still far behind.

Although he learned Go ten years later than others, Zhan Lang didn't know that Chen Long, the ninth dan sitting next to him, had already thought about the future of Chinese Go. He just shook his head and said, "Forget it. I have to take the train and change trains, and then take a boat to the island. It's too much trouble."

It is not a good thing to be too far away from home. If Zhan Lang wants to go back, he has to take several buses back and forth, change trains, and take a bus. After the bus arrives, he has to take a detour to take a boat. This trip can be said to be very tiring.

Especially the current trains are not even as good as the future Fuxing bullet trains, and are more painful and uncomfortable to ride.

Zhan Lang feels like he's going to lose a layer of skin every time he goes home. If it's not absolutely necessary, Zhan Lang really doesn't want to go back and forth.

So now Go is thinking about holding competitions everywhere, and transportation is also a big problem.

Infrastructure construction is imminent.

"Is that so? By the Dragon Boat Festival, there will probably be only a few people left in the national team, and the cafeteria will be closed. You'll have to find something to eat outside. Do you need me to get you some food coupons?"

"It's okay. I still have some on hand. If it doesn't work, I can just cook some noodles."

"It's a pity that little girl Ye Qing also has to go home, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry at all with her taking care of you."

After hearing Chen Long's suggestive words, Zhan Lang simply pretended not to hear them.

Everyone can see that Ye Qing is interested in Zhan Lang, and many people in the national team also hope to digest Zhan Lang internally.

Otherwise, if they are deceived by other teams and the other party is a foxy woman, the losses will be heavy.

In fact, being a few years older does not seem to be a problem to many people. In ancient China, many wives were much older than their husbands, and some were even more than ten years older.

Even in the new era, due to the influence of previous concepts, there are still many places where the wife is older than the husband.

Not to mention that the age difference between Zhan Lang and Ye Qing is not that big, at most he would just be holding two gold bricks.

However, Zhan Lang always seemed to be the type who neither took the initiative nor refused. Many people thought that Zhan Lang was just in his teens and didn't know anything.

Moreover, the reason why I have achieved such results now is definitely because I have been immersed in Go for quite a long time and have not paid attention to external affairs. I have not yet figured out the issues of love.

Maybe it will be fine when you get the hang of it later.

But Chen Long was experienced and could tell at a glance that Zhan Lang was still trying to find another way out.

"Focus on yourself. You have a good wife to take care of you. You can focus more time and energy on your career."

"No, I haven't even started playing yet, what do you mean by concentration?"

Zhan Lang didn't know what to say when he heard this. In this life, he had been able to cultivate the body of Yang Wu Lei and inherit the Heavenly Master's position. He absolutely could not suffer such an unjust injustice!

"Besides, the legal age for marriage for men is 22. I still have five years left. Why are you in such a hurry?"

The famous master Tong Jincheng once said, don’t be exclusive in looking for a girlfriend, be exclusive after you find a girlfriend.

Don't rush into a relationship, be friends with her first and see if her friends are better looking than her.

It means that there is no woman in your heart, not that there is no woman around you.

Don't rush things like your love life.
