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

Chapter 307 The yellow robe is added to the body
"It seems they've mentioned that they're planning to hold Asian Games selection trials soon."

Looking at the comments on the website, Yi Zheng couldn't help but scratch his head. As an insider, he should theoretically have received the news immediately.

However, Yi Zheng has not received any news yet; instead, someone on the internet leaked the news first.

Although there are many true and false messages online, there are always a few accounts that can expose a lot of true information and are regarded by many people as the source of information. The account that Yi Zheng follows is one of them.

The rumors posted by this account are mostly related to the competition, and at least nine out of ten are true. Moreover, most of the information they obtained was even earlier than Yi Zheng's.

"That's outrageous. Could it be a staff member's alternate account?"

Yi Zheng felt that the person who knew the news even earlier than him must be an administrative staff member's alternate account, and the valuation must be of a high level.

Otherwise, theoretically speaking, his information could not possibly be faster than Yi Zheng's.

Yi Zheng is a top-tier Go player, and is well-known as Li Shimin.

Most match information is confirmed internally, and Yi Zheng receives it even before anything is fully planned. Sometimes, staff members will send it to Yi Zheng privately, even if he doesn't pay attention.

In particular, many business owners have specifically requested that Yi Zheng participate in various commercial competitions.

Therefore, staff often have to ask routinely, just in case Yi Zheng has some free time to go.

Recently, many places in Huangshan have even held invitational tournaments, hoping to invite Yi Zheng to participate. However, because there are already too many regular tournaments, Yi Zheng has had to reluctantly decline many of the invitations.

It was indeed a painful decision, because many invitational tournaments offer very high prize money and have very few rounds, with most invitational tournaments having no more than four players.

It can be said to be the most lucrative and least stressful competition, but although the opponents are all quite strong, it doesn't have much prestige.

However, Yi Zheng didn't pay much attention to this user. The user, whose profile picture was a Shiba Inu wearing sunglasses and whose username was "Porter007," had been labeled by many as a famous Yi Zheng fanboy.

But Yi Zheng couldn't figure out who in the management of the chess academy would be his die-hard fan and surf the internet so intensely.

Those "old men," whose average age is older than Yi Zheng's parents, whose WeChat Moments are filled with nothing but health tips and inspirational quotes, would they really be surfing the internet so intensely with a silly "007" ID? And even engaging in precise whistleblowing?

"Never mind," Yi Zheng shook his head, trying to shake that ridiculous yet bizarre image out of his mind.

There are countless online IDs; who knows which outsider might have gotten lucky and stumbled upon some special intelligence channel.

Anyway, there's no concrete evidence yet, so racking your brains won't help. Yi Zheng decided to stick to his usual philosophy of "if you can't figure it out, just give up," and put the matter aside to continue browsing other posts, treating it as entertainment.

Go is considered a refined art, but once it becomes a competitive sport, or in other words, once something becomes popular, it will inevitably cause controversy.

Not to mention Go, which is no longer a literary game but a martial game, because in literature there is no first place, but in martial arts there is no second.

Everyone's focus is on the outcome of each match.

Let alone domestic or international cases, the debate over whether Yi Zheng or Jiang Mobai should become this year's Go Saint has already caused a huge uproar.

Some say that Yi Zheng is talented but lacks virtue and has no vision. He should have gone back to accumulate experience and calm down before making a comeback.

Some say that Jiang Mobai is ignorant of destiny, that he was good at maintaining the status quo but not good at making progress during his reign, and that he dared to have disloyal thoughts towards the Crown Prince. They say he should have launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident long ago and advised Jiang Mobai to be a fool!

The imperial robe will be bestowed upon him today.

Yi Zheng felt an itch all over his body looking at the comments that carried a lot of weight; he felt like he was about to be crowned emperor.

Thinking of this, Yi Zheng couldn't help but type on the keyboard: "There is no such thing as a crown prince in a year. Yi Zheng will be crowned in the yellow robe this year!"

"So crazy?"

Seeing Yi Zheng's comment sent with a single click, Ke Lao couldn't help but say, "When did Yi Zheng become so brave?"

Yi Zheng didn't care at all when he heard this: "I learned it from you. Besides, this was posted using your account, not mine. What am I afraid of?"

If anyone's account is going to be attacked, it's Elder Ke's account. What does it have to do with me, Yi Zheng? Hearing this, Elder Ke glanced at the avatar in the upper right corner of the computer and gave a strange smile: "Are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the account name on the posted comment...

"Damn it! When did this number become mine?!"

Yi Zheng immediately tried to delete his post, but in less than a minute, the comments section was already flooded with them.

[Your Highness, you've finally made up your mind! Eight hundred it is!]

You wield the white paper, I, the keyboard warrior, wield the keyboard—who in this world can stop us!

[Your Majesty! How can we strive for advancement if you don't ascend the throne!]

Yi Zheng couldn't help but rub his temples. Now he couldn't delete it even if he wanted to, and even if he did, someone would definitely take a screenshot.

Don't underestimate the speed of netizens' hands. By the time you post something and someone notices it, many people have already taken a screenshot.

"Forget it, I won't delete it. Anyway, I didn't say anything bad about it."

Yi Zheng glanced at his own comment and felt there wasn't much of a problem, so he didn't bother with it. Retracting it would only fuel more conspiracy theories.

"Go up, go up."

Yi Zheng typed a few keys and then logged into Ke Lao's AlphaGo account on Muyefox.

"My private messages and invitations are overflowing again."

Yi Zheng subconsciously opened the private messages, which were mostly filled with comments from fans, some asking to be taken on as apprentices, and others discussing whether they had accepted endorsement deals.

"Mr. Ke, your endorsement fee is really high."

Yi Zheng glanced at the numbers sent over in the requests for commercial endorsements and couldn't help but gasp.

Mr. Ke's endorsement fee is so much higher than mine. What a pity. If Mr. Ke didn't have no physical business, he would have made a fortune.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ke couldn't help but shake his head: "Most of these are just for fun. How could their endorsement fees be several times higher than Li Junhe's? If such a product really existed, I doubt it would be anything legitimate."

Stop talking nonsense. What's the point of looking at this stuff? Just log into your account on your phone.

The more I look at it, the more I hate myself for not having any moves to play. It's so painful!

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng also turned on his phone. Mu Yehu now also has a mobile app, and after Yi Zheng went online, he also received a bunch of game requests.

Especially Li Zongrui, this guy seems to be online 24/7. Yi Zheng can see him every time he logs on. Whenever he logs on and is free, he immediately requests a game. Yi Zheng even suspects that Li Zongrui has added him to his "special attention" list.

On the other side, Li Zongrui couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Yi Zheng refuse his invitation.

Because Yi Zheng never refused my invitations when things were normal before, so why did he refuse today?

Could it be that you arranged to play chess with someone in advance?

Damn it! Who is it?!

Aren't I Yi Zheng's online chess partner?
Could it be that there's a new person?

Before Lee Zongrui could even express his NetEase Cloud Music positivity, excited voices from others suddenly filled the Malaysian Go National Training Room.

"Yi Zheng is playing against AlphaGo!"

P.S.: I've been so decadent, I've gotten completely absorbed in gaming... Starting tomorrow, I'll resume three updates a weekday. I'll be giving away ten copies of the game "Emotional Anti-Fraud Simulator" to everyone. Just like before, you can enter by voting with your monthly pass; I won't make any further announcements.
