In competitive sports, the more participants the better. Just like Go, if no other country had promoted it when China was in decline, Go might have become like chess, confined to China.
Just as China needs strong opponents to highlight its greatness when it plays the best table tennis and Go, it also needs the best animation and comics to promote itself and let more people know how wonderful and interesting it is.
If it weren't for China being the first to professionalize Go, there would have been no Wu Qingyuan, who was undefeated in best-of-three matches, no Wu Qingyuan, who was undefeated in world finals at his peak, and no Ke Jian, who is now thriving.
AlphaGo might not have chosen Go to demonstrate the learning capabilities of artificial intelligence.
As an individual sport, it's difficult to achieve the same level of popularity and widespread appeal as team sports like the NBA and soccer. A more sustainable, world-class model is needed for long-term development. Only by incorporating new faces and fresh blood can this sport reach greater heights and gain wider popularity.
Hearing the old woman's words, the children around looked at the eldest sister with worried expressions.
Emma shook her head decisively without hesitation. She was deeply trusted, so how could she abandon her younger brothers and sisters?
"Big Sister! We will follow you for the rest of our lives!" The younger brothers and sisters were moved to tears.
Having spent many years in the business world and built a business empire in a foreign country, the old man had an exceptionally sharp eye. He drew out his words in admiration: "Oh... that's a real pity. If it were you, you could have achieved something in any field."
"Want to play another round?"
"I can't ask for it!"
Emma Miyazawa harbors a Gundam within her heart, evolving through repeated setbacks.
Qin Jing, feeling both confused and impressed, silently turned and left, preparing to go to the next place to find her younger sister, Kui.
"Wait a minute, Xiaojing!"
“We’ll go with you.”
"Let Old Man Wei play ping-pong with the kids by himself."
Upon realizing that she had no chance of winning at ping-pong, the three elderly people stopped Qin Jing and said...
As a result, Qin Jing's team doubled in size.
Looking into the distance, you can see colorful balloons floating in the sky. The most eye-catching thing is the huge Ferris wheel turning. If it were nighttime, sitting on it and looking at the stars would probably be a unique experience.
Qin Jing and her group arrived at the amusement park designed by Qiongqi. As soon as they entered the inflatable archway with colorful balloons floating on both sides, Qin Jing heard the screams of children. The loudest voice belonged to Xiao Kui, who had always been such an energetic child since birth.
Upon entering the gate, the castle-shaped carousel was deserted, while screams emanated from a vertical lift. Looking over there, one could see a striking pink figure among the passengers.
It plummeted rapidly from the sky, causing everyone above to scream with excitement. Xiao Kui's long pink hair was also whipped about by the gusts of wind. "Yay! Hahaha, so happy!!!"
With the help of the staff, Xiao Kui got off the drop tower. The other children waiting below the drop tower quickly surrounded Xiao Kui. She was practically a popular idol.
The children eagerly chimed in.
"Princess, let's go play the teacups!"
"No! Princess, come with us to ride the roller coaster!"
"Princess, you promised to go ride the bumper cars with me!"
"I know, I know. Let's all have fun together," Qin Kui replied with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Kui!" Qin Jing called out to her younger sister, who was surrounded by people.
"Ah! It's Nini! You guys play by yourselves, I'm going to find Nini!" Leaving the boy and girl looking resentful, Xiao Kui, her hair disheveled by the wind, ran over with a bright smile.
'How could this be... Princess, now that you have a brother, you've forgotten about your friends...'
Sensing the resentful looks from the little boy and girl, Qin Jing returned their gazes with a warm and friendly smile, and waved to them as well.
The people on the other side immediately blushed and then quietly dispersed.
"Hello everyone, Rin-neechan! Sakura-neechan! And a few grandpas!" Aoi ran over with a bright smile, but her hair was all messed up by the wind.
"I just can't do anything with you, Aoi-chan! A girl can't be so careless about her appearance!" Rin grabbed Aoi and untied the ribbon on one side of her twin tails, causing one side of her hair to cascade down like a waterfall. One side looked graceful and elegant, while the other side, tied in a ponytail, remained playful and cute. The combination of the two gave her a unique and adorable look.
She fixed Xiao Kui's hair and tied it into a cute side ponytail. Then Xiao Lin deliberately looked at Jing and said, "Boys just don't know how to take care of people."
"Thank you! Rin-neechan." Xiaokui loved her new hairstyle, smiled brightly, and hugged Rin to express her gratitude.
"Ah, so cute! I really want to take you home and be my little sister." Rin was healed by the angelic smile and kept rubbing Aoi's face.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then give me your well-behaved little Sakura!" Qin Jing retorted defiantly.
"Huh! Huh! Brother Jing?" Sakura's eyes widened, her heart pounding. She found the suggestion surprisingly good. She was actually quite willing!
"Then Rin-neechan, you should come to my house too! That way I'll have both a brother and two more sisters!" Aoi said happily, holding Rin's hand.
"Is...is that so...if it's just a visit, then it's not impossible..." Xiaolin blushed slightly. She was not good at dealing with such a sudden reversal. She couldn't help but secretly glance at Qin Jing, trying to get a sense of what the other person meant.
However, Qin Jing had already turned her gaze to the burly man in the black leather jacket and the old man in the Japanese-style costume holding a maple leaf fan not far away.
Rin was so angry she stomped her feet! Remember, young lady, be elegant! Be elegant!
Section 50: Seeking Thrills at Amusement Parks
The burly man in black and the old man happened to be looking in Qin Jing's direction at that moment, talking in a voice only they could hear.
"These two children from the Qin family this generation are truly remarkable. Qin Jing has the qualities to be chosen, and the little girl's blood is especially precious," the burly man in black remarked with admiration.
"Well, let's leave Qin Jing aside for now, but as for a little girl, being born into an ordinary human family, I really don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing..." the old man Tengu said meaningfully.
At this moment, Qin Jing stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Qiongqi, Grandpa Tiangou, what are you doing here?"
"Oh! Jing boy, you're here too! How's it going? This is the super amusement park I've transformed." Qiongqi proudly showed off the various thrilling games that challenged the limits around him, while on a nearby high-rise building, children were preparing to bungee jump.
Speaking of the thrilling rides at the amusement park, they are all rides that are forbidden for young children. But it is precisely because we wanted to play them before but the adults wouldn't let us that we have the chance now, and that's why we enjoy them the most.
Is it really okay? Can a child's soft bones withstand such a violent impact? Although I don't want to worry too much, he's now like a guardian to the children.
"Can children's bodies handle these games?" Qin Jing asked worriedly.
"It's alright, I've invited renowned doctors. As long as their heads aren't severed, even if their hearts have stopped, we have ways to restore them to normal," Qiongqi said with a loud laugh.
"Isn't this still terrible?" Qin Jing exclaimed.
"It's alright, all the children have received the protection of the fairies." Ōtengu said that none of this was a problem.
Upon closer inspection, each child was enveloped in a transparent aura. Even the most dangerous and exciting machines and facilities exuded an eerie aura, suggesting the presence of monsters. There were also transparent membranes like glass marbles inside, where the children were shouting happily, and some appeared to be injured.
"Could there be monsters in there? Those devices that are emitting blue and light red gas," Qin Jing asked, pointing to the devices that were emitting strange gas.
"Oh." Qiongqi and Da Tiangou both looked at Qin Jing in surprise and said, "Jing boy, can your eyes see the qi clearly now?"
"Truly a child blessed by the world," the Great Tengu exclaimed in surprise.
"Qi?" Qin Jing asked the two great demons in confusion.
"Simply put, it's the energy fluctuations emitted by the growth of all things. Observing the Qi makes things very convenient, especially in the world of yokai," the Great Tengu said meaningfully.
"Young Jing, it seems you can't escape after all. That fox won't let such a talented person go to waste," Qiongqi said to Qin Jing with a sympathetic look.
"Well, I'm prepared to do whatever it takes," Qin Jing said with a smile.
"Oh, so you're all prepared, huh? You've got guts, kid! I've fallen for you. Well, I promise you, the kids here are all safe and won't get hurt, so you can have fun today!" Qiongqi said with a smile.
"In that case, there's no problem." Qin Jing nodded with relief.
"Take a good look, this protective device that combines monsters and machines, my masterpiece, hahaha!" Qiongqi said, pointing to a high place.
The amusement park built by Qiongqi is probably several times more thrilling than the world's most dangerous amusement parks. This is because the various rides for children are actually alive, capable of performing all sorts of unbelievable and thrilling feats.
For example, the spinning pendulum has become a spinning dartboard. The children sitting on it are thrown into the air by the Cyclops like darts, spinning hundreds of meters before floating back down. Of course, because the seats are also transformed by a monster, and the monster has cast a spell to protect the children, they can safely return even if they are thrown.
For example, a regular roller coaster spins 720 degrees in the air and then drops straight down at a near-vertical 90-degree angle, which is already the limit. But this roller coaster jumps, and upon closer inspection, the front of the car is actually a laughing raccoon dog, just like the Catscarf from a Miyazaki Hayao animation.
"I want to ride that!!" Qin Jing's eyes sparkled; she absolutely had to ride the cat-cart at least once!
"Then I want to sit with Nini!" Xiao Kui said, jumping up and down and hugging her brother's hand.
"Then let's go together!" Rin and Sakura followed.
"We three old men can skip this."
"The old man can't handle this kind of stimulation."
"Xiao Jing, you should have fun with Xiao Lin and Xiao Ying!" The old man said to Qin Jing with a meaningful look in his eyes, waving his hand enthusiastically as he saw her off.
Qin Jing led Kui and the others to the roller coaster and lined up. Once on the cat car, they found that it had red hard seats. As soon as they sat down, their shoulders and waists were tightly secured by warm ropes that felt like animal fur.
Then the cat car started and slowly moved upwards. When the front of the car passed the highest point, it was already a hundred meters above the ground. The laughing cat car suddenly jumped up and fell downwards.
"Whoa!" The feeling of weightlessness and the cool breeze coming from below caused screams.
Then the cat car landed comfortably, rolled up, and the cat face on the front of the car opened its mouth wide and bit the tail of the car, forming a circle. It rotated and rolled along a dozen or so 360-degree loops, and finally drove safely back to the starting point.
"Hahaha!!"
"Amazing!"
After the thrilling adventure, the children returned to the ground and burst into laughter.
"Nini! Come here quickly, let's ride again!" Kui ran to the front as soon as she got off the bus, shouting excitedly.
"Aoi is so energetic!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's even worse than Sunohara. Are all kindergarten kids this energetic these days?" Rin asked, combing her hair.
"Nini! Sisters! Hurry! Hurry!" Xiao Kui ran forward quickly.
"Here it comes, here it comes!" Qin Jing ran after them. This roller coaster version of the Catscarf was so fun, he could ride it ten more times and never get tired of it. A surge of adrenaline made the usually quiet Qin Jing incredibly excited, and he joined in the fun, screaming with joy.
Afterwards, Xiao Kui dragged Qin Jing to play all the exciting and thrilling games that involved flying around and spinning, and then they rode them all the way back from the end to the beginning. The amazing stamina displayed by the Qin siblings left Xiao Lin and Xiao Ying speechless.
As they stepped off the vertical drop tower once again, a huge shout came from not far away.
"Kids, follow me! If you can keep up with me, I'll give you a gift!" Qiongqi shouted loudly. He didn't need the loudspeaker; his booming voice easily drowned out the mechanical sounds and the children's screams, echoing throughout the entire amusement park.
The curious children were drawn over and joined the challenge against Qiongqi. Of course, Jing was also pulled in by Xiaokui.
Qiongqi led the children to play all sorts of extremely exciting games, such as pirate ships, spinning flying saucers, and roller coasters, which made the children scream continuously. Jing was initially worried that some of them might be scared to tears, but to her surprise, the children laughed more and more happily than the others.
The children played wildly until they were completely exhausted, thoroughly enjoying themselves. The intense emotions they released also left the monsters who provided protection and companionship, who lived off their emotions, with greasy, satisfied faces.
"Aaaaaah!"
"Hahaha!"
"You little devils have some guts! I've taken a liking to you. Let me show you something truly exciting!" said Qiongqi, the burly man in black, laughing loudly.
"What? What is it?!" the kids asked expectantly.
"Don't ask, just sit on it first, it's definitely something you've never ridden before," Qiongqi said, pointing to the cat-shaped roller coaster.
"Okay, I'll be a dog if I lie!" The kids got into the cat-shaped stroller with some skepticism and were fastened with the fluffy seatbelts.
"You should worry about whether you'll pee your pants from fright first!" Qiongqi revealed a vicious, wicked grin.
The mountaintop suddenly darkened, and a huge black object appeared in the sky, completely blocking out the sun.
Qin Jing looked up and examined them closely, discovering that they were enormous black wings.
A giant claw reached down from the sky, lifted the cat cart, and flew into the air.
With a flap of its enormous wings, it instantly pierced through the dark, rain-laden clouds, and then they appeared high in the sky. This was Qiongqi's reward for the mischievous children—a one-day round-the-world trip as a great demon.
At this moment, the children on the cat-cart discovered that a transparent protective layer had formed around the cat-cart that Qiongqi had grabbed, like glass, isolating them from the dampness of the clouds and protecting them from injury during the rapid flight, without obstructing their vision.
Qiongqi's wings are incredibly powerful, and its speed is comparable to that of the Great Roc. The Great Roc can travel 90,000 li (approximately 45,000 kilometers) in a single li (approximately 500 meters).
So Qin Jing and the others traveled around the world at an extremely fast speed. Almost every time they arrived at a place, Qiongqi stopped flapping its wings and started gliding slowly. After all, the equator's circumference is only about 4 kilometers. If it flew with all its might, it could circle the earth in less than a second.
In a short period of time, Qin Jing and the others experienced the alternation of day and night, saw the sunrise that dyed the sea golden, and witnessed the sunset amidst the fiery clouds at dusk.
They floated among the blue sky and white clouds, traversed beneath the dazzling Milky Way, gazed at the starry sky at the highest altitude, saw the aurora borealis on the vast white snowfield, and toured the landscapes of various famous buildings around the world.
Above the sky, the children have reached places inaccessible to humans, and from the perspective of monsters, they have seen many magical sights that ordinary people rarely see in their lifetime.
I was deeply moved by nature, feeling both my own insignificance and the greatness of life.
It seems that even in its small body, it can sense the possibility of connecting with nature and the world, and becoming a better place.
This small feeling may not bring about any immediate change, but it plants a seed in the children's hearts, which may one day lead to a broader worldview and stronger beliefs in their lives.
Some children admired the magnificent ancient buildings: "Wow! The Great Wall of China and the Egyptian pyramids are so spectacular!"
Some children looked down in awe of the vastness of the earth: "Wow, it's an iceberg! It's huge!"
Some children looked up and exclaimed in amazement at the vast universe: "The Milky Way and the aurora are so beautiful!"
Xiao Kui, hands on her hips, laughed loudly and said, "Haha, the people below are like ants."
After their sky trip, Qiongqi instantly transformed and took the children back to the mountaintop. The cat-shaped car was placed back on the roller coaster track, and the children excitedly ran down to the exit, sharing their experiences. It was already dinnertime, and a festival held by the monsters awaited their arrival at the dormitory building.
