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

Chapter 193, Old Shen Makes His Move! (Please Subscribe)
Shen Qiushan didn't go with Zhou Yuan. As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Lin Xiamo in the exchange student reception group.

The exchange group from Korea this time came from Seoul National University, whose QS World University Rankings are even higher than those of Samgang University.

However, Sanjiang University ranks higher in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and judging from the rankings alone, the two universities are roughly equal in strength.

However, these university rankings are all done by foreign institutions, and the rankings of domestic universities are relatively low. In terms of both hardware and software strength, Sanjiang University should actually be in the lead.

This can be seen from the reactions of exchange students from Seoul National University after they entered Samgang University.

Sanjiang University boasts a vast campus, and its landscapes and facilities far surpass those of their own schools.

The food in the cafeteria, in particular, left the exchange students completely dumbfounded.

They were arranged to eat in the faculty and staff cafeteria, in a self-service mode.

Watermelons, grapes, and other fruits that are very expensive there are treated like free here; you can take as much as you want.

The exchange activities between the students from both sides began after the meal. The exchange students from Seoul National University all had round bellies, clearly having eaten a lot.

The person leading the other team was a vice president of Seoul National University named Kim Jin-goo.

Sanjiang University also provided a similar level of reception, with the person in charge being Executive Vice President Zhao Changtian.

Lin Xiamo was a member of the reception team.

At this moment, Zhao Changtian, Lin Xiamo, and other members of the reception team from Sanjiang University did not look too good.

The exchange students from Seoul National University will stay at Samgang University for a week, where the two sides will exchange and discuss various aspects such as culture, sports, and academics.

Today is the first day of exchange. Both countries are very strong in the field of Go, and Korea attaches great importance to Go.

The theme for the first exchange day was Go (Weiqi).

Sanjiang University notified the Go club in advance so that they could prepare accordingly.

As a result, after the two sides clashed...

The Go club members lost three games in a row, which made Zhao Changtian very frustrated. Although it was not a formal competition, the opponents were foreigners after all.

It's still very embarrassing to lose badly.

In contrast, the members of the Seoul National University exchange group were all in good spirits, and many of them were chatting and laughing quietly.

Shen Qiushan walked straight to Zhao Changtian's side. He had dealt with this executive vice principal twice before, and although they weren't very familiar with each other, they knew each other.

"Principal Zhao, it's surprising that such a small exchange group has bothered you."

Shen Qiushan greeted him with a smile.

"Xiao Shen, what brings you here?"

"Just joining in the fun?"

Zhao Changtian was quite surprised to see Shen Qiushan here.

"I heard there's a Go competition, so I came to check it out."

Shen Qiushan replied casually.

"Little Shen, you even know Go?"

"I know a little bit."

"Be humble!"

Zhao Changtian shook his head: "You said you won the Nebula Award without making a sound, you must also have a high level of expertise in Go, right?"

"Principal Zhao actually guessed that!"

Shen Qiushan did not deny that he was also a member of Sanjiang University and should do his part to defend the school's honor.

If Zhao Hongyu also fails in a little while, Shen Qiushan will prepare to leave the field.

"Wow, you're really good at this!"

Zhao Changtian was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect Shen Qiushan to agree.

"Xiao Shen, who do you think will win this game?"

Zhao Changtian pointed to the electronic screen in front of him.

"Unsurprisingly, Park Il-seung will win."

Shen Qiushan glanced at the situation on the electronic screen and replied.

"what?"

"You mean Wu Junming will lose this round too?"

Zhao Changtian frowned. He also knew how to play Go, but his skills were only average.

In his view, the two sides are evenly matched at present, and Wu Junming even has a slight advantage.

But Shen Qiushan said that Wu Junming was going to lose again.
That would make it 4-0!
"Wu Junming will suffer a great loss within ten steps."

Seeing Zhao Changtian's confusion, Shen Qiushan explained.

"Ten steps..."

Zhao Changtian was skeptical, feeling that Shen Qiushan was exaggerating.

After greeting the executive vice principal, Shen Qiushan sat down in the empty seat next to Lin Xiamo.

When did you learn to play Go?

Lin Xiamo overheard Shen Qiushan and Zhao Changtian's conversation and asked a question in a low voice.

"Go is not difficult."

"When I was running my shop, I often hung out with the owner of the shop next door, so I have some experience to share."

Shen Qiushan was telling the truth. When he ran a noodle shop, business was slow, so he would play Go with the owner of the shop next door.

The opponent was a seasoned Go enthusiast, but his skill level was relatively low; Shen Qiushan and he could play evenly.

However, the two were complete novices pecking at each other.

But the experience was real.

However, Shen Qiushan's current level is given by the system and has nothing to do with his past experiences.

While these two were talking.

On the chessboard, the previously evenly matched situation has changed.

Park Il-seung's long-planned scheme has finally come to fruition.

With one move, he effectively shut down Wu Junming's nine pieces, leaving them with no way to retreat.

Wu Junming, who had been calm, suddenly widened his eyes. He was quite confident in this round, but he ended up on the defensive again.

Zhao Changtian's eyes narrowed, and he quickly turned to look at Shen Qiushan: "Little Shen, you were right."

"Seven steps!"

"Wu Junming is destined to lose."

Shen Qiushan shrugged lightly: "The opponent has made two traps, one in the open and one in the dark. Wu Junming only saw the one in the open." Seeing that he was about to lose 9 pieces, Wu Junming was very unwilling. He tried his best to save the situation and made two bad moves in a row.

Shen Qiushan shook his head slightly; this time, there was absolutely no hope.

Whether playing Go or chess, you must learn to "sacrifice pieces".

Take a holistic view and don't get bogged down in the gains or losses of a single city or place.

Soon, Wu Junming was defeated once again.

4:0! !
The exchange students from Seoul National University cheered.

Meanwhile, the students from our school who were sitting in the classroom watching the commotion all frowned.

Some people even started to complain quietly.

"Are the people in the Go club really that bad?!"

"We got beaten 4-0 by the Koreans! What a disgrace!"

"Are there no experts in our school?"

"Just looking at those Koreans' faces makes me angry!"

Wu Junming left the chessboard with a look of utter despair.

As the president of the Go club, he lost two games in a row, especially with so many school leaders present. He was really losing face.

But a loss is a loss, and there's nothing he can do about it!

Furthermore, after gaining an initial advantage in both games, Wu Junming was eventually reversed, and his mentality began to crumble.

Next.

Both sides made substitutions.

Zhao Hongyu stepped onto the chessboard, and his opponent turned out to be a girl named Kim Eun-jung.

I don't know if it's due to technology, but the other person has a high nose bridge, big eyes, and overall good looks.

Zhao Hongyu was somewhat disappointed that his opponent was a girl.

His thought was that even if he won, there didn't seem to be anything to brag about.

It's just that I beat a girl!

This mindset led him to underestimate his opponent, causing him to fall into a disadvantageous position from the very beginning.

Zhou Yuan, who was live streaming, frowned and couldn't help but mutter to herself: Wasn't he supposed to be an amateur sixth dan?
Why does he look so unskilled?

Feng Sicong and Bao Beibei were both complete novices when it came to Go, and they were whispering to each other.

Do you think Old Zhao can win?

"He seems quite confident!"

"You've already bragged about it, so don't let Senior Xiaoyuan down."

"Old Zhao looks really unwell. Did he eat something bad?"

"Could it be that they can't beat that Korean girl?"

"..."

10 minute later.

Zhao Hongyu immediately admitted defeat.

Because of his underestimation of his opponent at the start, he was constantly under pressure and had no chance to fight back. Continuing would only lead to a more crushing defeat, so he had no choice but to concede.

5:0!!!

The exchange students from Seoul National University cheered again.

The head of the exchange group, Jin Zhengu, had a broad smile on his face. He stood up and walked to Zhao Changtian's side, saying in Chinese, "Principal Zhao, let's end the students' exchange here. Does your school have any teachers who are good at Go?"

"Our teachers can exchange ideas!"

It's clear that Kim Jin-gu felt the competition between students wasn't challenging enough.

It's already 5-0!

There's no point in continuing the competition; he wants to defeat Sanjiang University in every way.

From student to teacher!

Kim Jin-gu is so confident because their delegation includes professional player Park Guk-chang.

Although he is not well-known internationally, he has had some notable performances in the Korean domestic league.

Park Il-seung and Kim Eun-jung, who just competed, are both his students; one is a professional 3-dan and the other a professional 4-dan.

While studying at Seoul National University, he frequently participated in national Go tournaments.

In comparison, Wu Junming and Zhao Hongyu are only amateur level, so it is not surprising that they lost to each other.

However, no one at Sangang University knew that the Seoul National University exchange group actually included students with professional-level skills.

"can!"

Zhao Changtian nodded, then waved to Shen Qiushan: "Little Shen, are you sure you can handle it?"

"no problem!"

Shen Qiushan shrugged with a relaxed look on his face.

"Xiao Shen, you saw it too."

"We're down 0-5 now. You'd better be able to win a game or two so it doesn't get too bad."

Zhao Changtian whispered his advice. Although he didn't know Shen Qiushan's skill level, in the current situation, he could only try anything as a last resort.

If Shen Qiushan is not up to par, there is no need to continue today's Go exchange.

Shame on you!
Even though it's just a normal exchange and sparring, if they can't win a single game, given the Koreans' usual style, they'll definitely maximize their mockery.

Zhao Hongyu originally came with the intention of showcasing himself, but ended up getting a major setback.

He wanted to play another game, at least to tie his overall score at 1-1.

However, they were told that the students' competition had already ended.

Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to walk off the chessboard dejectedly, his first attempt at showing off in front of others ending in failure.

"Hey, Old Shen!"

Why did Uncle Shen go up?

Feng Sicong and Bao Beibei originally wanted to comfort Zhao Hongyu, but they found Shen Qiushan walking onto the chessboard instead.

Upon seeing Shen Qiushan enter the battle, the students who had come to watch the spectacle immediately began to discuss it.
