Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 169 Yi Zheng is too wicked

"what----"

Upon hearing the deep, guttural sound emanating from the opposing player, Alica, Ke Lao couldn't help but comment, "It stinks!"

Meanwhile, Yi Zheng shook his head after finishing his game. It was finally over, and he could go back to catch up on his sleep!
Yi Zheng glanced at the other side and saw that they didn't seem to have any intention of reviewing the game. He felt a sense of relief. It was best that the other side didn't want to review the game, so he could go back to sleep earlier.

Yi Zheng nodded and left immediately; nothing could stop his desire to go back and catch up on his sleep.

Old Ke watched Yi Zheng get up and leave, and immediately followed him: "How about that? I wasn't wrong, was I? You didn't sleep well the night before, but you performed even better than usual today."

"Yeah, right, right, I won't sleep before the competition next time either."

Upon hearing Yi Zheng's reply, Old Ke quickly added, "No, buddy, you actually believed me when I was joking!"
I just said this to you because I was worried you wouldn't be confident in today's game. Don't actually stay up all night! Today's situation was purely accidental, don't believe it!

Old Ke was also worried that Yi Zheng might actually take his nonsense seriously. Although he himself had twice almost stayed up and then crushed his opponents the next day, it was just a coincidence.

If you really dare to stay up all night before a match and go to the match the next day, you'd be unparalleled if you could achieve a 50% win rate.

Yi Zheng was speechless as he looked at the suddenly tense Old Ke. "He usually seems like a smart person, and you actually believed what I said?"
I was just playing around with abstract concepts with you, and you actually took it seriously?
I'm not stupid. How could I possibly stay up all night and go to a competition the next day? Even an idiot wouldn't do something like that. Wouldn't that just be handing them a free kill?

As soon as Yi Zheng stepped out the door, Miao Jun, who was waiting outside, grabbed him from behind and hugged him. By the time the game reached 100 moves, the Chinese team had lost all interest in watching.

Many people said that even if Yi Zheng went back to his room to sleep now, as long as he didn't exceed the time limit, his chances of winning would be 100%.

So they had been waiting for Yi Zheng at the door beforehand. Miao Jun had been squatting by the door frame, and the moment Yi Zheng came out, he immediately pounced on his back.

"Fatty! Get down here right now!"

Feeling the immense weight on his back, Yi Zheng suddenly felt much more awake. The chubby guy must weigh almost 200 pounds! That fatso still won't lose weight!
"I'm not coming down! You tricked me, kid! You were pretending in front of me! And you're still pretending now that we're out here!"

Hearing this, Yi Zheng felt bewildered: "What am I pretending for?"

I didn't say anything pretentious, so what's going on?
Miao Jun looked at Yi Zheng, who was still yawning, and said, "Stop pretending! You must have slept very well last night! You're deliberately feigning weakness this morning, aren't you? Stop pretending! I've seen through you!"

"..."

Yi Zheng didn't know what to say after hearing any of those words. You guys really have rich imaginations; you can even come up with things like this.

However, seeing Miao Jun's expression of "I knew it, I'm so smart," Yi Zheng could only smile and say, "Ah, right, right, right!"

Sometimes explanations are useless; people are unwilling to believe the truth.

"I'll just say it!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Miao Jun couldn't help but nod: "Ah Zheng is really smart. The Amelika people don't know anything about the Thirty-Six Stratagems, and they've already fallen into the trap."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ling laughed and said, "You're so naughty! I love it!"

Where is Shen Guhong?

Yi Zheng noticed that the younger group members were all squatting at the door, but Shen Guhong was the only one missing. Although Shen Guhong always seemed to have a problem with Yi Zheng, it was unlikely that he would be the only one leaving him behind.

"I don't know. After watching your game, that guy said he was going back to his room. I'll let you in on a secret: he's been studying your game every day for the past few days. He's probably just waiting to face you in the Rookie King final."

Miao Jun looked like he was secretly telling Yi Zheng a little secret in a low voice.

After the first stage of the World Go Tournament ended, I returned to China and only a few days later, I was about to start the final match of the Newcomer King Tournament.

The two sides in the match were Yi Zheng and Shen Guhong.

The reason Shen Guhong returned to his room alone was because he knew that Yi Zheng really hadn't slept last night, at least not until after 3 a.m.

Because around 3 PM, Yi Zheng liked Shen Guhong's post on his WeChat Moments.

Shen Guhong looked at the chessboard in the room, a faint smile appearing on his lips: "Finally back? That's more like it! But I'll show you that I'm the real genius!"

On the other side, Ryan from Team America also walked out looking dejected, still unable to understand why he had lost.

Looking at his coach waiting for him at the door, Ryan felt as helpless as a man: "Coach, I lost."

"It's nothing, it's just one game lost."

"No! I really don't understand how I lost? My opponent was yawning all the time, like he hadn't even woken up properly, and he just kept playing and somehow won against me!"

At this point, Ryan couldn't help but reveal a pained expression.

If Ryan had lost under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be this upset, but the opponent seemed to be half asleep and swept him throughout the entire game.

Is there any reason?
Is there any royal law?
Even if Ethan wasn't fully awake, there's no way he could have easily taken him down in a hundred moves!
Ryan felt increasingly distressed as he thought about it, wishing he could just pull his head down and bang it against the wall.

Seeing Ryan looking like he was about to break down from the beating, Benjamin quickly revealed the "truth" he had overheard: "We've all been fooled! Yi Zheng didn't have insomnia at all last night! He was just faking it!"

He deliberately acted this way to mislead you, making you think he wasn't in good form, so you would let your guard down and that's why you didn't play well in this game.

Upon hearing this, Ryan was completely stunned. "You can do that? But I don't feel like I played badly this game."

No, I must have been unknowingly misled and influenced by the other person's acting skills! In the end, I didn't even realize that I hadn't played the right note!
After a long pause, Ryan couldn't help but blurt out through gritted teeth, "That Yi Zheng is so wicked!"

"But it's useless in the face of a gap in strength."

Ethan walked over, fanning himself with a fan, and said, "Using such petty tricks to win proves that he is not strong enough."

A true master never stoops to such petty tricks; they simply need to push their opponent across the board.

I had thought he might have a chance to come to me, but now it seems he's far from it.

P.S.: I'm begging for monthly votes during this double monthly vote period, guys!
