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

Chapter 197 Full Moon Night
"The moon doesn't seem particularly round tonight. I remember watching a TV series where the moon was as round as a plate on the night of the full moon in the Forbidden City."

"What a pity for Ye Gucheng. He was killed by a bunch of transmigrators who gave him a heart attack. Otherwise, Ximen Chuixue wouldn't have been able to win at all."

Old Ke, leaning against the window and looking at the moon, made a sharp comment: "It was supposed to be a full moon night, but the moon isn't full enough. This real moon isn't even as good as the special effects in 'iPartment.' Bad review!" This immediately dampened the atmosphere of the evening.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng opened his phone: "Because the moon is fullest on the 16th of the lunar month. The moon's orbit around the sun is not circular but elliptical, and the moon's orbit itself is also rotating. The gravitational pull on the moon from the earth varies, causing the moon's orbital speed to be uneven."

Therefore, the time when the moon appears directly behind the Earth varies. Sometimes it's a little earlier, perhaps the full moon is on the 14th of the lunar month, and sometimes it's a little later, perhaps the 15th, 16th, or even 17th.

Don't ask how I know; just search it on your phone, and you'll understand everything.

Old Ke seemed to completely ignore Yi Zheng's explanation of the science, and looking at the full moon in the sky, he suddenly said, "May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart."

Upon hearing the poem that Old Ke suddenly uttered, Yi Zheng was taken aback for a moment: "What's wrong?"

Old Ke shook his head and simply sighed, "It's nothing, just lamenting how serious the light pollution is in big cities nowadays. You can't see any stars in the sky except for the moon. I wonder if you could even see them with a telescope."

I remember when I was little, you could see so many stars in the sky. Back then, I'd sit on the back of a bicycle, and the stars would follow the moon—that's my lost youth.

"Indeed, now all you can see in the sky is the moon."

Yi Zheng also leaned out the window, looking at the moon in the sky and sighing. Although he knew what Old Ke was thinking, he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Let's get ready to play chess; our opponent should be online soon."

Old Ke glanced at the clock hanging in the room, then drifted back to the computer.

All her dissatisfaction and frustration could only be vented on Li Junhe.

Who told you to challenge me, kid! And on a day like this! If I don't beat you up, who am I supposed to beat up!
"In an interview, Li Junhe said that he will defeat the mysterious online Go god AlphaGo today and make it reveal its identity. He also looks forward to playing against it offline, because there are too many uncertainties in online games."

"The Korean Go official said they still suspect that AlphaGo was not an individual but a group that committed the crime."

Lee Jun-hyuk: I am confident of winning.

Jiang Mobai said in an interview that Li Junhe will definitely lose; it's just a matter of how he loses.

"Ninety percent of the players support Lee Jun-hyuk to win the game (this survey was conducted at the Silla Baduk Academy)."

Looking at the news articles flooding the screen, Old Ke seemed to have rediscovered a familiar feeling: "Ten out of ten are about me. No matter what world I'm in, I'm a top influencer!"

"Indeed, all the news outlets have been reporting on this lately. Li Junhe said he'd give a million for every game he lost. What are you planning to do with that money?"

We agreed to play three games today, which amounts to three million, not a small sum in this world.

But they definitely couldn't get the money. Neither Yi Zheng nor Ke Lao were Yu Zecheng, and they couldn't find any underworld figures to help them collect the money.

So how to handle this money is also a problem.

But it's certainly impossible to just let the other party refuse to give it to us.

Old Ke pondered for a moment: "Let's donate it to a reliable charity in China. We can't get it anyway, so let's just consider it a donation to do a good deed."

"Of course, the donation must be made in my name, otherwise who knows which bastard will end up pinning it on Li Junhe!"

Don't think that such a thing won't happen. There have been similar cases in the world of Go. When an emergency occurred in China, a large number of Go players responded immediately and raised 400,000 yuan in about two days. Some players even missed their matches because of this.

Even so, some people, when writing articles, immediately claimed that it was the Silla people who approached them for donations, praised the morality of the Silla people, and criticized domestic public opinion, saying that they should not use moral blackmail.

Praising the Silla Go player is fine; he donated money, so praise him as you see fit. But some people just have to subtly put down their own country. It just goes to show there's a reason some people can't play Go properly. "So in the end, making money still depends on you, A-Zheng! What happened to that villa in the capital?! Why are you making money so slowly? Look at your senior, he's changed girlfriends and cars!"

Yi Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. He hadn't expected that housing prices would rise so quickly. The house he had his eye on had increased in price in just one year, more than the bonus he had earned this year.

Yi Zheng's income this year is actually not low, after all, he has paid a lot of taxes, but even so, the money he earns is not as much as the price increase of the villa he has his eye on in the capital.

This is too difficult! This is outrageous!

"Domestic prize money is no longer enough for us! We must go international!"

Yi Zheng doesn't believe that the prize money from the Asian Cup isn't enough to cover a down payment on a house. If housing prices keep rising like this, he won't buy a house either!

Meanwhile, the Silla Go Academy is also making intensive preparations.

"Li Junhe, 9th Dan, don't you really feel that the other side is a group committing the crime? I feel that the possibility is not only real, but very likely! You don't need to confront such an evil group!"

The president of the Silla Go Association watched Lee Jun-hyuk walk towards the situation and followed behind him, saying something with a hint of helplessness.

If you loosen your grip, we have plenty of ways to muddy the waters.

Even if they lose, they can accuse the other side of not playing a normal match at all, but rather a conspiracy by an organized and premeditated group to target the number one player in Silla.

The opponent is so strong, how could it really be just one person? How could that be!
Moreover, if this matter is endorsed by the world's number one person, many people will believe it.

After all, Lee Jun-hyuk has been the world's number one for so many years, and even though he's starting to decline now, he still has prestige.

Of course, Silla's statement was also intended to encourage Lee Jun-hyuk to receive help from others during the match. After all, the opposing team was playing as a team, so it was only natural for Lee Jun-hyuk to receive some off-field assistance.

Li Junhe, however, had a very good temper and calmly said, "Even top experts can tell that there is only one person outside, not a group. If they are conducting research collectively, it would actually be a good thing for me, as their thinking is unlikely to be unified."

Other people's ideas are just a distraction to me; they won't help at all. A game of chess played by several people will only end in chaos.

"Just follow your lead; the main thing is to provide some ideas."

Li Junhe refused without hesitation: "There's no need for that. I will win, so don't worry. Just focus on your own live streams and do your jobs."

After saying that, Li Junhe went straight into the game room.

How could an online platform possibly pass up the opportunity to broadcast such an important match?

Although the platform contacted "AlphaGo" hoping to do a live stream with him, hoping to get a glimpse of the true face of this online chess god, unfortunately there was no response.

In the end, we could only broadcast Lee Jun-hyuk's side of the show first.

Actually, the competition hasn't even started yet, but the number of people in the game room alone has already reached 100,000. However, this is not the actual number of viewers, but rather the maximum number that the platform can currently display.

Seeing Li Junhe online, Yi Zheng glanced at the live stream and found that the person opposite him was already sitting in front of the computer.

"It's time to get ready to begin."

"Then let's get started!"

The suspended death sentence has been carried out; it's time to carry it out!
