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

Chapter 407 The whole world is the enemy
After a test that was completely devoid of tension and excitement, everyone involved had different feelings and were immersed in their own unique thoughts.

Faced with an artificial intelligence that had been meticulously crafted with an unknown amount of investment, including a significant amount of money spent on this test, it was effortlessly and repeatedly defeated by two top experts.

Mr. Zhang's face remained all smiles, showing no sign of disappointment. On the contrary, he specifically instructed his staff to meticulously record every piece of feedback from Yi Zheng and Jiang Mobai.

It seems that in his belief, this artificial intelligence will definitely be able to defeat all human chess players in the future. This is as certain as a nail in the coffin, with no possibility of wavering.

This failure was just one part of the test, not even a stumbling block on the way.

After Jiang Mobai secretly laughed, his expression returned to normal. Instead, he seriously gave his feedback. Because he had been holding back his strength and constantly grinding against the artificial intelligence, he had a clear understanding of the shortcomings of the AI.

However, when Jiang Mobai spoke about the artificial intelligence, his words still revealed a genuine sense of contempt.

In his view, at this level, artificial intelligence might not be able to truly defeat a professional Go player of even moderate skill even in its entire "lifetime," let alone defeat a top-level player like himself.

Old Ke, standing to the side, seemed to still have a lingering look on his face, as if he were still savoring some indescribable feeling.

However, he didn't seem interested in eating it again, muttering, "Let the first generation dog come out quickly, this time we can finally meet it."

Your peak performance meets the perfect you! Don't miss out this time!
Yi Zheng then applied to play another game against the AI. Although he found the "ghost story" told by Ke Lao unbelievable and terrifying upon closer inspection, he still couldn't help but shake his head after actually playing against the AI.

The gap is too large. In Yi Zheng's opinion, this artificial intelligence is really terrible. It is hard to believe that it can reach the level that even top 9-dan players would have difficulty defeating in just a few months.

Can artificial intelligence really advance at this pace?
Incredible.

However, it's not entirely unbelievable. After all, the artificial intelligence computing power that dominated the world in science fiction movies of the last century couldn't even run a AAA game when it was later used as a graphics card.

However, Yi Zheng didn't focus on the so-called "generation dog". He was more curious about the "master dog" who made everyone question their existence, and the "zero dog" who created a new Go game for mankind.

Are they truly, as Professor Ke said, peaks that human chess players can never surpass or defeat? Are they really invincible?
"Even according to the history recounted by Elder Ke, there's still more than a year to go..."

This period of time is neither long nor short. For many people, it seems to pass in the blink of an eye, but for Yi Zheng, it seems to be a very long preparation period.

Because Yi Zheng's professional career was only one year long.

With their own distinct thoughts and ideas, everyone finally came to the end of the day's testing activities together.

Everyone seemed quite satisfied with what they had gained from the trip, and showed no signs of displeasure.

Boss Zhang received advice and identified bugs from professional players, Jiang Mobai received a substantial coaching fee, and Old Ke confirmed that he would finally meet the dog he had once brushed past in the near future. Everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

It seemed that only Yi Zheng looked preoccupied when he went out, but to Old Ke, he felt that Yi Zheng was just overthinking things.

However, young people tend to overthink things at the beginning. I was like that when I was young too, but later I found that I couldn't resist, so I could only lie on the ground and enjoy it.

Later you realize that not only can you not enjoy it, but you also have to actively cooperate with others, otherwise you'll be left behind by the times. If you don't want to be abandoned by the times, you can only join in the involution; there's no way to lie down and relax.

However, Yi Zheng still noticed that Jiang Mobai looked at him strangely when he left, something he had actually noticed before.

Some time ago, Yi Zheng noticed that Jiang Mobai and the others were looking at him with a kind of feeling that they were secretly doing something bad behind his back, and they were also looking forward to him finding out.

Yi Zheng hadn't taken it to heart at first, but seeing Jiang Mobai's inability to hide his thoughts, he couldn't help but ask Old Ke, who was standing next to him.

"What have Jiang Mobai and the others been up to lately?"

As a well-known street hustler at the Chinese Chess Academy, and even though no one can see him, there's practically no gossip he doesn't know.

Even when the two of them were talking privately, Old Ke would just nod and hum in agreement, let alone any small-circle meetings or anything like that.

Agent Zero Zero Ke, the Chinese Chess Academy has no secrets from him.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that a few of them formed an anti-Yi alliance against you. Instead of trying to break your limbs, they're thinking about how to defeat you on the chessboard."

What kind of alliance is this? It's just a study group!

When Mr. Ke heard this, he shrugged. What kind of threat could this kind of study group pose? They wouldn't say you lost just because the chess piece isn't on the lid.

Yi Zheng couldn't help but purse his lips when he heard this. He thought it was something big, and the few of them were keeping it to themselves. Turns out it was just this?

For the world's number one, being targeted by study groups is perfectly normal.

This is true in any world and at any time. When Li Junhe was at the height of his fame, the Chinese national team even took the initiative to form a study group to study him and conduct in-depth attacks.

When Professor Ke was at the height of his fame in the world, other countries also conducted special research on him, and even used artificial intelligence to analyze him.

Yi Zheng can also confirm that any country with a bit of power has probably already been conducting collective research on itself in private, especially in Armenia, it's 100% certain.

As for the research conducted on him by the people in the chess academy, Yi Zheng did not take it to heart, nor did he feel any sense of betrayal.

You may be friends in private, but on the field you become opponents. You can't prevent others from wanting to beat you on the field, can you?

There's no such logic in the world. Everyone craves the championship, especially in the finals. Even brothers won't give an inch.

As the world's number one, one must be prepared to face enemies from all sides.

On the field, there are no friends, only opponents.
