Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

“Why did you choose to play Go professionally?”

Rui Zhao didn't quite understand why Liu Shixian suddenly mentioned such an unrelated matter, but she believed that there must be a reason why he wanted to talk about this.

She couldn't help but feel a little curious about the reason why this person, who had dominated the entire Chinese chess world for six years and was recognized as the best player in the world since she came into this world, embarked on a professional journey, so she nodded naturally.

Seeing the beauty beside him nod in agreement, Liu Shixian's smile deepened, and then he began to speak:

“…I’m ashamed to say that!
“In fact, for a long time after I started playing Go, although I was pretty good at it, I never really thought about becoming a professional Go player.

"Until I was ten years old, although my teacher thought I could definitely become a professional player, my family and I only regarded Go as a hobby."

“…Huh?

"You haven't decided to pursue a career until you're ten?!"

Hearing this, Rui Zhao was quite surprised.

It's not surprising that Rui Zhao felt surprised - generally speaking, most truly talented children will show their talents within half a year of learning Go, and within one to two years it will be clear whether they have the potential to pursue this path.

Although many people in the professional circle have always believed that the young master of the Liu family is not the most talented, that is only compared to the leading chess players. Looking at the entire professional chess world, he is still outstanding.

As a result, a genius of this level had no intention of pursuing a professional career until he was ten years old?

You have to know that in the original world, Rui Zhao had only been learning chess for three months when he had already made up his mind to become a professional chess player!
In comparison, it is somewhat unbelievable that Liu Shixian had no plans to pursue a professional career until he was ten years old!
Hearing the confusion in the tone of Dangshi Zhaojun, Liu Shixian naturally knew what the other party was surprised about, and continued to explain without waiting for Rui Zhao to ask:

"Well... I am the youngest son of a wealthy family after all! My parents naturally hope that I can grow up according to their expectations.

"Including some talents such as Go, tennis, Xuanqin, Chinese, Japanese, etc., they are just to pave the way for future business and politics."

"Is that so? Then...

"Why did you change your mind, Liu Jiuduan?"

"Ah...it can be considered a little unexpected!"

While Liu Shixian was thinking back, he said with some emotion:
“At that time, I was very serious about everything I did, so I performed pretty well in both study and various talents, and I won many awards!
"To be honest, I was quite proud of myself at that time! I felt that I was very outstanding and would become a pillar of the country in the future.

“But…once by chance, I heard my peers talking about me behind my back – they felt that my winning the award had little to do with my hard work.

"It was only then that I realized: Although I thought I was very capable, others did not agree with me. They thought that if I had not been born into a wealthy family, I would not have performed so well..."

“…Ah? Why are they like this?!”

Hearing this, Athena couldn't help but speak up for the other party:

“Although many things are indeed affected by innate conditions, they cannot be changed!

"Instead of complaining about this every day, it is better to do what you can do seriously!"

"Well, that's what I said...

“But it’s human nature to pass on the blame.”

Liu Shixian smiled bitterly and said:

"Even among adults, less than one in ten people can objectively face their mistakes and failures without making excuses, let alone a group of children."

Rui Zhao pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds about what Liu Shixian said, then nodded slightly in agreement.

The strongest chess player in South Korea paused and continued:

"I was still a child at the time, and I was furious when I heard this. I went to collect information, intending to refute their fallacies later, and then...

"Then I realized - what they said seemed to be true!"

Speaking of this, Liu Shixian couldn't help but sigh, as if he still remembered how he felt at that time even after more than ten years:
“After learning about the growth trajectories of many big entrepreneurs and politicians, I found that the reason why they were able to sit in that position did not seem to have much to do with their acquired efforts.

"Although they have been promoting how talented they are and how hard they work, which is why they have achieved their current social status and achievements, in my opinion... hehe!" With a sneer, a rare look of contempt flashed across the face of the young master of the Liu family:

“Well… although I have learned a little more about the world of adults, this doesn’t seem to be a good thing for me.

"I was confused at the time - even if I achieved something, people would say I was just born into a good family and enjoyed resources that others couldn't enjoy, and I didn't care about that...

“…There doesn’t seem to be much room for rebuttal.”

At this point, Liu Shixian shook his head again, as if he could still feel his helplessness back then:

"This feeling of powerlessness suddenly enveloped me, and I couldn't get rid of it for quite a long time.

“To be honest, I felt a little depressed for a while at a young age! I felt that I couldn’t really prove myself no matter what I did, and people would always say that I relied on my background.

“There was even a time when I used my pocket money to secretly see a psychologist, but it didn’t help.

"But soon, I discovered an exception..."

At this point, Liu Shixian's gaze naturally fell on the person in front of him. He seemed to think that the other party must know the answer.

Xiao Qi Hanhan naturally did not disappoint Young Master Liu's expectations and immediately responded:
"…It's Go, right?"

"Correct!"

Liu Shixian smiled and replied:

"This is a project that is highly dependent on personal ability. In learning Go, you need talent and even more hard work, but background alone... is of very limited use!
“Although some of my peers who were learning chess found various excuses after being easily defeated by me, they were all scolded by their parents and teachers!

"On the chessboard, the strong is strong and the weak is weak. This project almost nakedly shows the gap between the two sides in terms of talent and effort. It can be said that the difference is black and white!
"It does not require high material conditions. You can get a complete set of chess equipment and find a suitable introductory teacher by spending a little money.

“Correspondingly, no matter how much money a family has or how good a teacher one has, it will be useless if one does not have enough talent and hard work.

"Only in Go competitions do I get secretly called a 'monster', rather than a 'golden spoon zombie'.

"Honestly, 'monster' sounds a lot better, doesn't it?"

Liu Shixian raised his eyebrows slightly towards Rui Zhao, and then continued:

"So I suddenly felt that only Go could help me get rid of the 'young master' label imposed on me by my background and make others respect me!

“Plus, at that time, our South Korean Go had maintained a leading position in the world for nearly 20 years.

"Especially Senior Choi Myeong-ho, he almost single-handedly suppressed the wealthy Japan and the vast China to the point where they could not move at all. This feeling makes me even more fascinated!

"——No matter how powerful my family is, it is far from being comparable to Japan or even the entire country of China!

"But if I were like Choi Myung-ho, I could have used my own efforts to crush a whole generation of young talents who have emerged from over a billion people at the Nongshim Cup and prevent them from making even one step closer to the finish line!
"Then even if others don't like me, they can only honestly admit that I am indeed a very powerful person, right?

"So, despite my family's opposition, I resolutely chose the path of professional Go. And in the end, I really did it for a period of time. You...

“Can you understand this feeling of pleasure?”

At this point, the young master of the Liu family revealed a hint of joy with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and they fell on Rui Zhao again.

But unlike before, the little fool was obviously a little confused. There was silence between the two for a long time, and finally Rui Zhao nodded slowly and politely.

But... this did not surprise the young master of the Liu family.

He paused and asked a question in a low voice:

"But, Rui Zhao, you...

"Shouldn't it be different from me?" (End of this chapter)
