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

Chapter 78 Love is a light
"Oh my god! There are so many people! Even a superstar at a concert wouldn't be able to gather this many people. And there are so many fans holding banners... You guys might as well just debut right here, you're definitely all top stars."

Old Ke was completely stunned by the huge crowds of people around him. In his previous life, even a world-class superstar might not have this many people outside his concert...

It is unbelievable that so many spectators have gathered outside the Chess Saint Tournament in this world.

"What's the point of making a debut? The appearance fees of top stars may not even be as high as those of top stars, not to mention the endorsement fees. Only high-end brands can afford them to be their spokespersons.

Not to mention that some female celebrities want to use the popularity of the title to create scandals. In the past, some female celebrities had nothing better to do and liked to post topics about Go Saints. So, the world champion is the biggest star. "

Yi Zheng wasn't surprised by this kind of scene. Instead, he retreated behind the crowd and said, "I can only wander around outside. Without a ticket, I can't get in."

Mr. Ke was also a little confused when he heard this: "Do I have to buy tickets for the award ceremony?"

Isn't this place too commercialized? There wasn't much to see at the awards ceremony; it wasn't a full-scale review of the competition.

"No, we're going to draw some people from the audience who received tickets for the previous seven-game chess lecture. They'll also receive a commemorative fan signed by the seven title holders and over a dozen instructional chess games."

Yi Zheng shook his head when he heard this. Although Go is very commercialized and popular in this world, no one is as aggressive as Zhou Paopi, who wants to squeeze every penny out of his fans' pockets.

Not to mention that this award ceremony was extremely grand, and the person presenting the award to the chess master was a member of the elders' council.

"Forget it, there's nothing to see outside, so I might as well give up and go somewhere else.

Their qualifying tournament is over today and we'll have to see who makes it."

Yi Zheng looked at the huge crowds of people around him and the fans holding banners to support various titles and shook his head. He wondered when he would be able to enjoy such treatment.

Yi Zheng had just left the crowd when he suddenly heard someone calling his name not far behind him.

Yi Zheng looked back and found a middle-aged man running towards him. Only when he got closer could Yi Zheng see the man's face clearly.

"Lao Jin?"

Yi Zheng looked at Jin Wan, the 9th dan, who had caught up with him and nodded and greeted him. It was obvious that he did not expect to meet him here.

But it's normal to think about it. Jin Wan will definitely attend a closing ceremony of this level, not to mention that the chess master is his apprentice.

Jin Wan, the ninth dan who had caught up with him, looked Yi Zheng up and down, his eyes revealing a hint of disbelief: "Just now, when I saw that figure from a distance, I thought it was you, so I ran over to take a look.

In less than a month, you've already become a professional? This is beyond my expectation! So, what are your plans after becoming a professional?

Jin Wan felt a little regretful when looking at Yi Zheng in front of him. He thought that quick hands lead to slow hands, but he never thought that Yi Zheng would become a professional without going through the qualifying tournament. It was completely unexpected.

I was afraid that the person had already been snatched away by Old Man Ma. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got! Jin Wan, the ninth dan, completely ignored the fact that what he wanted to do was to poach someone else.

Yi Zheng simply nodded: "A few teams have contacted me but I'm still considering it."

Seeing Yi Zheng seeming to have nothing to talk about, Jin Wan pointed to the venue behind him and said, "We happened to meet. I'll take you in directly. It's a good opportunity for you to watch the award ceremony for the Go Master."

Yi Zheng was stunned when he heard this: "Can we go in directly?"

"Normally, it's definitely not possible, but I'm the dean of one of the organizers, and my apprentice is the winner of the Go Saint title. Do you think I can bring someone in?"

When Jin Wan, the ninth dan, said this, his back straightened unconsciously. With so many buffs added together, it was not normal to bring someone in.

Yi Zheng glanced at the venue not far away and nodded: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Jin." Yi Zheng had seen the chess master award ceremony on TV many times, but had never seen it in real life. Now that he finally had the chance to be there, Yi Zheng naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"go!"

In the meeting room, Ma Zhaoxu frowned as he looked at the dozen or so chess records in his hand, flipping through them over and over again.

Yun Linglei also shook his head: "This kid's ideas are quite interesting, especially some of his mid-game ideas and steps, which even give people a sense of inspiration.

The new changes of Tianmo Dahua are also refreshing, and some of the moves also feel very beautiful.

But this opening point 33 is too strange, and this is also his most used play. Using the second and third line exchange instead of sticking is not very good. "

Ma Zhaoxu shook his head at this time: "No, it seems that we lost, but it is true that the chess pieces outside lost their original eyes and left a breakpoint.

Perhaps, it’s hard to say, but this method probably needs time to settle before we can know…”

Any new playing method or pattern needs time to be tested and settled before it can be gradually accepted and recognized by everyone.

Not to mention this method of play which clearly goes against common sense.

Hearing this, Yun Linglei was surprised. "Not the teacher? No matter how you look at it, this goes against the principles of chess. No matter how hard you try, nothing will come out of it."

Ma Zhaoxu couldn't help but shake his head: "The theory of chess is just a theory we have explored. Looking at chess from our current perspective two or three hundred years ago, what was considered truth at that time is also considered ridiculous now.

When theory and practice conflict, which is more important? Theoretically, letting the other side flourish is bad, but if you insist on not letting the other side flourish, you will lose miserably.

Theory must be adjusted according to practice, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth. I should wait a few years and go to university."

Yun Linglei didn't say anything after hearing this. Whatever his teacher said was reasonable. There would be no good results if he talked back to his teacher, so why bother?

"It's rare. Although he's a little older now, his chess talent is still very good. If he can find a good person to teach him, he may achieve great success in the future. He just needs a famous teacher."

Ma Zhaoxu sighed as he flipped through the chess manual and Yi Zheng's personal information. Even a fool could have heard the hidden meaning behind his teacher's words: "Teacher, didn't you say before that you would no longer accept disciples?"

Ma Zhaoxu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally couldn't help but glare at his apprentice: "I also said I would quit drinking! Is this the first time or the second time I've broken my promise?"

Hearing that his master had clearly said that he was shameless, Yun Linglei shut up decisively and said, "There's no need for me to say anything."

"Help me arrange it. I want to meet this child."

As soon as Ma Zhaoxu finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "Jin Wan, 9th Dan, is here." Although he was reluctant to see this old enemy, Ma Zhaoxu still looked up and glanced to the side.

Wait a moment.

Something is wrong, take another look.

That’s not right!

Why is my apprentice following you?

At this moment, a matching piece of music happened to be playing in the venue: "Love is a light, so beautiful..."
