Chapter 141 Boil the Frog in Warm Water

Tsk, when did we start to fall behind...

The "Touching the Sky Southeast" single room on the 120th floor of Dongjiang Center Building.

The third round of the Chess Saint War is in progress.

After 102 moves, Lin Ruixin looked at the chess pieces in front of him with a rather bad expression on his face.

His performance today actually felt pretty good: although he has practiced less in recent years, he is still able to maintain a pretty good level thanks to his previous foundation and extremely high talent.

If he could even try his best to pray for help, he felt that he would be able to defeat anyone in the country.

But today, when he got to move 122, he felt something was wrong, yet it also had a familiar feel to it.

He said it was wrong because he felt that he had no bad moves in the first half of the game. Unlike the fatal losing move in the first game and the few slow moves in the second game when he was in an advantageous position, it didn’t take long for the chess master Lin to realize that there was something wrong with his moves. Today, he really couldn’t see where there was a big problem with his moves.

But because there is no problem, so the question is:
The game had been going on "without any problem" until now. Just when Lin Ruixin thought that this game might have to go to endgame, he suddenly discovered that Black was only ahead by four to five points on the board - his points were not enough!
When was this not enough?!
Lin Ruixin was horrified.

In this game of chess, he was like a frog being boiled in slowly heated water!

I always thought there was no problem, but when I really realized something was wrong, the market situation had already begun to stabilize.

Lin Ruixin couldn't help but bite her lips.

In fact... this is not the first time he has encountered this situation.

However, he never expected to have this feeling when facing Lei Qi.

Xiao Lei...is not an adult yet!

But how come the chess game has the flavor of Liu Shixian?

Lin Ruixin couldn't help biting her lips even tighter, and began to think quickly about how to stir up some trouble...

...

...

"Brother Sun, do you mean... this game of chess is very similar to the last game of the Nongshim Cup?"

"Yes! Not only this game, in fact, if Xiao Lei didn't make a mistake in the previous game, it would probably be similar... the game where Lin Ruixin played Liu Shixian!"

Sun Yi snatched the microphone from Liu Yuhong and answered the questions raised by his junior sister in a careless manner, without noticing that Empress Liu's eyes were strange again.

"That game left a deep impression on me! The four of us, Xiaoxiong, Yuanzhu, and Lele, were analyzing the game together in the game room, watching the black player's chance of winning drop little by little!

“From a human perspective, it felt like Lin Ruixin didn’t make any wrong moves in that game—many times the AI’s suggested moves are beyond the reach of human thinking.

"But the problem is that Lin Ruixin kept making no mistakes and lowered his winning rate to less than 30%. If we, who were watching and analyzing the game, hadn't had the help of AI, we would have thought the situation was a delicate one. But when I saw the winning rate given by the AI, I almost cried!"

"No! You are an adult already, how come you almost cried when you saw Lin Ruixin lose the game?!" Liu Yuhong couldn't help but complain after hearing what his teammate said.

"Of course! In the Nongshim Cup, if you don't win, your work is in vain."

Sun Yi answered confidently:
"The total prize money for the Nongshim Cup champion is 270 million, and the runner-up gets nothing, just some game fees. If you win, the chess association will take a quarter of the prize money, and the remaining winning players will share it: a non-main player wins a game and gets 1 point, a main player wins a game and gets 2 points, and the points are divided equally.

"In the last Nongshim Cup, I won two games, Xiao Xiong won three games, Lele won one game, and Yuanzhu didn't win. In the end, it was Xiao Xiong and Lin Ruixin against South Korea's Liu Shixian. If Xiao Xiong won, I could get 578,000, and if Lin Ruixin won, I could also get 560,000! In the end... all the cooked ducks flew away!
"Or maybe I could win one more game! At least I can get a 50,000 or 60,000 yuan winning streak bonus, which can help me survive the famine... What a pity, I only lost half a point in the third game!"

"No...are you so clear-headed?"

Listening to Sun Yi's rambling on and on about the account, Liu Yuhong felt it was outrageous.

"How can I not be so clear? I have to pay off the mortgage for my previous house, and my parents have been working hard to help me save money for my wedding house and betrothal gifts! Every bonus is important to me, okay!"

"Ah - how dare you say that!" Liu Yuhong frowned.

Sun Yi's face was not red and his heart was not beating:

"What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm just making money, no need to mess around!

“Forget about the next game. When I heard Lin Ruixin say that live streaming can make money, I happily went to B station to start live streaming.

"As a result, I aired it several times and asked Lin Ruixin to help attract traffic. In the end, I only had more than 10,000 fans, and they were all haters. They pointed at me and laughed at me every day! I was so angry that I stopped airing it later!
"Oh, by the way, Junior Sister, do you make a lot of money from live streaming? How much is your income now?" "Ah? Uh, this..."

Seeing that Sun Yi was talking endlessly, Rui Zhao had already turned around and started to make changes to the game. This sudden cue made her stunned on the spot.

To be honest, she doesn't care about the income from live streaming at all, so how could she answer Sun Yi's question!

Just when she was embarrassed, someone came to her rescue.

"You monkey! We are talking about chess now! Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with chess!"

Sun Yi looked back at Yu Qingguang who had just hit him on the head, and finally lowered his head and stopped talking.

Yu Qingguang then looked at Lei Jingming on the stage and said jokingly:

"Old Lei, it looks like you can set up a celebration banquet for your son tonight!"

Lei Jingming was pleased to see that his son was doing well, but when he heard Yu Qingguang's words, he immediately became anxious:

"Old Yu, stop milking me!

"During the live broadcast of the chess game, my son played a blind chess game right after you said that!"

...

...

"Haha, I understand why young people like to watch this kind of self-media live broadcast. It feels more interesting than the ordinary official media live broadcast..."

Under the temporary stage, Huang Baoyang couldn't help but smile as he watched some small situations that occurred on the stage from time to time (mainly caused by Lei Jingming and Sun Yi).

Li Haoming on the side quickly responded: "Ah, that's right. That's why all the agencies are now setting up their own self-media accounts! The publicity effect is indeed better!"

"Well... this old game of Go really needs some fresh blood, and it's good for a young girl to do some live streaming!
"Just don't make it like Lin Ruixin! I took a look last time, what the hell is that!"

After expressing his agreement with the live broadcast method, Huang Baoyang did not forget to express his disdain for the live broadcast of the chess master Lin.

"Well... it's not so much that he's broadcasting Go, but rather that he's using his status as a Go expert as a gimmick to attract traffic to his live broadcast. It still doesn't count."

Li Haoming expressed his opinion.

Huang Baoyang pursed his lips, then nodded in agreement:

"Well, now I understand what you said... No wonder the game turned out like this!"

Huang Baoyang watched the board enter the endgame. Although Black had struggled hard at the end of the middle game, it was ultimately futile due to Lei Qi's tight defense.

Now that White's winning rate has been capped at 100%, Lin Ruixin has no chance of struggling anymore.

At this moment, Huang Baoyang suddenly turned to Li Jingzhe and asked:
"Jingzhe, I heard from your father that you entered a very famous computer class in Qinghua, right?"

Li Jingzhe immediately responded, "Yes, Grandpa Huang, I joined the Qinghua Yao Class, which mainly focuses on computers."

Huang Baoyang nodded: "Then do you know OMEGA GO?"

"Of course I know that."

Li Jingzhe answered immediately.

OMEGA GO is a famous Go AI software developed by a foreign company. Its victory over Choi Sung-seok, a leading figure of South Korean Go and the second-highest number of world champions in history, is one of the most famous events in the history of computer AI development.

The reason why Go AI is now generally called "dog" in the industry is because it was this "Omega Dog" that first shook the human chess crown, so it was named after it.

As a student who is about to enter Tsinghua Yao Class, Li Jingzhe could not possibly be unaware of this.

Huang Baoyang smiled and continued to ask:
"Then...let me ask you another question.

"Do you think OMEGA GO back then could have defeated this challenger who is less than 18 years old today?"
