At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

"The Go club members are broadcasting live!"

"Holy crap, it's already 2-0!"

"Those Koreans are something else!"

Feng Sicong became the on-site commentator.

"What's so interesting about Go? It's so boring!"

Bao Beibei said she wasn't interested.

At this moment, Zhao Hongyu, who was usually taciturn, spoke up: "Young Master Bao, you're wrong about that."

"Go is the game that tests one's thinking ability and overall strategic vision the most. True masters are all Go players!"

"Otherwise, why is the chess in the four arts of qin (music), qi (chess), shu (calligraphy), and hua (painting) called Go? It's not Xiangqi (Chinese chess) or Junqi (military chess)..."

"You talk like you know everything?"

Bao Beibei looked up at Zhao Hongyu, somewhat resentful.

“My dad likes Go. I’ve been playing with him since I was little and have participated in some amateur competitions. I even wanted to join the Go club.”

Zhao Hongyu briefly explained his situation.

"Have you participated in any competitions and won any awards?"

Feng Sicong pressed for more information.

Zhao Hongyu seemed to have been waiting for this moment. He reached out his right hand and gently pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, which were perched on the bridge of his nose. He subconsciously straightened his posture, then cleared his throat before slowly saying, "First prize in the Golden Gourd Cup Children's Go Tournament."

"First Prize in the Constance Cup Youth Invitational Tournament!"

"Second prize in the amateur group of the Huatiannan Cup Go Tournament..."

Zhao Hongyu rattled off several awards in one breath, then calmly resumed eating his meal as if nothing had happened.

Feng Sicong and Bao Beibei were stunned, as neither of them knew the significance of these awards.

But it's impressive even though I don't understand it!
Neither of them has won that many awards, in any field.

Shen Qiushan glanced at Zhao Hongyu out of the corner of his eye. This kid was a typical small-town exam-taker from an average family, and he rarely spoke in the dormitory.

Shen Qiushan didn't live in the dormitory very often, so he didn't really know the other person well before.

Through this incident, Shen Qiushan gained a better understanding of his taciturn roommate.

This guy doesn't talk much, but I didn't expect him to be so secretly passionate!
"Old Zhao, you're so awesome, you should go and help out at the Go club!"

"We're already down 0-2!"

"Wait, it's 0-3! We're completely outmatched!"

Feng Sicong, who was watching the Go club's live stream, couldn't help but complain, "What are these people in the Go club doing?!"

"It almost made Senior Xiaoyuan cry."

"Who is Senior Xiaoyuan?"

Bao Beibei asked curiously.

"I just found out about her too."

Feng Sicong shoved his phone into Bao Beibei's face. On the phone screen, a sweet-looking girl was live-streaming; her nickname was "Xiaoyuan Senior Sister."

However, the sweet-looking senior student Xiaoyuan didn't look too good at the moment. She pouted and said, "President Wu, this game was such a pity. He had the advantage for a long time, but he must have been a little careless at the end."

"However, the opponent is indeed very strong. I feel that their level is close to that of a professional player..."

Senior Sister Xiaoyuan was wearing a white cartoon T-shirt, but neither Bao Beibei nor Feng Sicong had their eyes on the chessboard behind her.

Instead, one is involuntarily drawn to its astonishingly high, soaring arc.

"I suddenly realized that Go is quite interesting."

"Old Zhao is right, playing Go helps improve thinking skills and strategic thinking!"

As Bao Beibei spoke, she silently opened her phone and searched for "Senior Sister Xiaoyuan" on the Kuaiyin app.

Feng Sicong left a message on the live stream's public screen: "Senior Xiaoyuan, my roommate is super good at Go, can we have a match?"
There were over 300 people in [Xiaoyuan Senior Sister's] live stream at the moment, but there weren't many comments. She immediately noticed Feng Sicong's comment and whispered, "If there are any Go masters in the live stream, they can come to the multi-functional classroom. Um, those below amateur 5-dan, please don't bother."

"Old Zhao, what's your skill level?"

Feng Sicong quickly turned to Zhao Hongyu and asked.

"Amateur 6th Dan".

Zhao Hongyu responded proudly.

Amateur players are ranked from 1st to 8th dan.

The lowest rank is 1, the highest rank is 8.

Of course, rank does not represent absolute strength. Some people participate in fewer competitions but have a very high level of skill.

However, to reach amateur sixth dan, one must have participated in provincial-level amateur competitions and achieved good results.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu is considered to be of a relatively high level among amateur players.

"Cow batch!"

Feng Sicong remarked and immediately left a message in the live stream: My roommate is an amateur 6-dan, can I give it a try?
Senior student Xiaoyuan saw Feng Sicong's message immediately, and her big eyes lit up slightly: "Amateur sixth dan is definitely fine, we'll be in classroom 101 of Building 1..."

"Old Zhao!"

"Stop eating! Your chance to win glory for the country has arrived!"

"Senior Sister Xiaoyuan said you can go and help!" Feng Sicong quickly turned to Zhao Hongyu and said.

Meanwhile, the reserved young man Zhao Hongyu had already been listening intently to the sounds coming from the live stream.

After learning that he could participate in the competition, he swallowed the food on his plate whole.

"Then I'll try."

"However, they may not be better than the senior students in the Go club."

While Zhao Hongyu said this, he was actually holding back a lot of anger. Since entering university, he, who was a top student in high school and a well-known academic star in his grade, had become just another ordinary person.

There's no way around it; coming from a small town, he's quite different from kids from big cities like Bao Beibei and Feng Sicong who "spend money" to get ahead. Their family backgrounds and perspectives are also quite different. Plus, he's of average appearance, so his academic advantage is completely gone.

From being the "center of attention" in high school, I suddenly became just an ordinary person.

Today, he finally has the opportunity to showcase his strengths!
"Let's go!"

"Give those Koreans a good lesson!"

Feng Sicong put his arm around Zhao Hongyu's shoulder, eager to see if Xiaoyuan was really as exaggerated as the live stream portrayed!

"Uncle Shen, let's go see what's going on!"

Bao Beibei said to Shen Qiushan with a smile.

Although he knew his chances of becoming Shen Qiushan's son-in-law were slim, he continued to use the title "Uncle Shen," as if to preserve a sliver of hope for himself.

"Well, let's go together."

If it were anything else, Shen Qiushan would definitely not get involved, but Go is different; he is a master of Go.

Naturally, he wanted to see what was going on, and if necessary, he wouldn't mind sparring with the "most sportsmanlike" Koreans.

After leaving the cafeteria, the four headed straight for the multi-functional classroom in Building 1.

After entering the teaching building, Feng Sicong took the initiative to massage Zhao Hongyu's shoulders: "Old Zhao, the national honor rests on your shoulders!"

"Just do it!"

"Young Master Feng, don't put pressure on Old Zhao!"

"The height has been set too high!"

Bao Beibei spoke up in rebuttal.

"Okay, then you'll be the honorary member of our 618 dormitory!"

Feng Sicong immediately changed his tune.

"You've narrowed your perspective again."

"It should at least be for the school's honor..."

The group soon arrived at the 101 multi-functional classroom.

This multi-functional classroom is the largest of all the multi-functional classrooms at Sanjiang University, capable of accommodating five or six hundred people, making it comparable in size to some small theaters.

It can be used to show movies and hold all sorts of events.

Two or three hundred people had gathered in the classroom by now. There were more than thirty people from the exchange team from Korea, about the same number from the reception team from Sanjiang University, more than twenty people from the Go club, and the rest were students who came to join in the fun.

At this moment, Wu Junming, the president of the Go club, is playing Go against a Korean exchange student named Park Il-seung.

This is the second game between the two. In the first game, Wu Junming lost a good position and was reversed by his opponent. Therefore, he played very cautiously in this game. At present, neither side has a clear advantage and the game is in a stalemate.

The electronic screen above the podium was broadcasting the chess game live. The students who came to watch the excitement sat quietly in their seats, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones.

A sweet-looking girl with a very voluptuous figure is standing on the stage giving a live broadcast. She is [Senior Sister Xiaoyuan], whose real name is Zhou Yuan.

Because the Go club is a niche club at the school with a small number of members, Zhou Yuan serves as both the external relations officer and the publicity officer.

"I think Senior Xiaoyuan is even prettier than she is in the live stream!"

Bao Beibei leaned close to Feng Sicong's ear and whispered her feelings.

"Absolutely! It didn't crash at all!"

Feng Sicong nodded repeatedly.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hongyu, the reserved young man, also had a slight glint in his eyes hidden behind his glasses. Boys of this age are all attracted to beautiful women, regardless of their academic performance or which university they attend.

Like his peers, Zhao Hongyu also longed for a sweet romance, but he knew he had no advantage in terms of "wealth and looks," so he had already done a profile analysis of his future "girlfriend" a long time ago.

In his mind, the other party should appreciate his "talent" and share common interests with him!

This sweet-looking senior student clearly knows Go, and might just be the girl who can appreciate his talent!
In an instant, Zhao Hongyu's fighting spirit was reignited!
"Old Zhao, let's go."

"Go and say hello to Senior Xiaoyuan."

Just as Zhao Hongyu was lost in thought, Feng Sicong pulled him to the podium and pointed at Zhao Hongyu, saying, "Senior Sister Xiaoyuan, I'm the one who left a message in your live stream earlier, [Young Master Feng]. He's my roommate, an amateur sixth dan!"

Upon hearing Feng Sicong introduce himself, Zhao Hongyu subconsciously puffed out his chest, then introduced himself in a calm tone: "Hello, Senior Sister Xiaoyuan, my name is Zhao Hongyu, and I won first prize in the Golden Gourd Cup Children's Go Tournament."

Zhao Hongyu then listed all the awards he had received.

"Great!"

"Zhao Hongyu, you can go up after President Wu finishes this game!"

Zhou Yuan seemed to have grasped a lifeline, her slightly chubby face beaming with smiles. Then, she didn't forget to say to the live stream camera, "Dear juniors and seniors, we've finally got some fresh blood on our side! Amateur sixth dan, his skill level is on par with President Wu!"

"Whether or not he can avenge this defeat depends on this junior, Zhao!"
