After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

"Good morning, everyone in the live audience and friends in the live broadcast room."

"The game between our AI chess master and three professional 9th-dan players will begin soon. Please be quiet and provide a good game environment."

A host came up and everyone at the scene who heard the host's words shut their mouths.

After all, everyone who can come here has bought a ticket, so they all abide by the on-site rules.

The host was also very satisfied with the audience's cooperation. He smiled and nodded, then continued:
"Next, let me introduce the players who will be playing against each other this time."

"In this match, the one defending the title is still the AI ​​chess master."

"As we all know, AI Go Saint has won all the games against the top professional 9th ​​dan players in Yuzhou for three consecutive years."

"So, this year, the AI ​​chess master is still on the defensive side, and the three professional 9th ​​dan players are on the offensive side."

"Next, I will introduce three professional 9th ​​dan masters to you!"

As the host spoke, a photo of a person appeared on the big screen in the venue.

He is a young man in his twenties, quite handsome.

"He is the dark horse of Yuzhou Go last year. When he was promoted to the professional 5th dan the year before last, he jumped from the professional 5th dan to the professional 9th ​​dan, a top player, in just one year!"

"He is...Xue! Ze! Hui!"

The host's introduction was very inspiring. Although Chen Shuren did not know this Xue Zehui, he could tell from the applause of the audience how popular Xue Zehui was.

I have to admit, being handsome does have some uses.

He is handsome and young, so he has a better market.

He is handsome, young and talented, that must be the result of good deeds in his previous life!
This is what Xue Zehui is like at this moment.

Suddenly, Chen Shuren heard Du Fuliang's voice behind him.

"Hey, don't be fooled by the host's support. He is actually a bad guy!"

"Du Fuliang, what do you mean?"

Zong Lu's voice rang out.

"Didn't you hear what he said? The AI ​​chess master has defeated professional 9th ​​dan for three consecutive years, but now he is praising the professional 9th ​​dan. If he does this, when all three professional 9th ​​dan lose, won't it be very disappointing? Then, won't there be a topic of conversation?"

I have to say that Du Fuliang's analysis makes sense.

But when looking at things, it is impossible to only see the dark side.

"Du Fuliang, why are you so shady? Can't it be that the host likes Xue Zehui, 9th dan?"

"Yes, yes!"

Lian Xinying on the side echoed.

Du Fuliang didn't care about the attitudes of these two people, but when he saw Zuo Shaolan also looking at him with them, he suddenly felt angry.

But the words have already been said. If he takes them back now, wouldn't it make him look indecisive?
"Well, it may sound unpleasant, but it is the truth. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. This host will definitely say the same thing when he introduces other people."

"Hey, can't he just stand on the side of the human chess player? Why, you also think that the human chess player can't win?"

Zong Lu looked at Du Fuliang and asked.

"How can we win? No matter how good the human brain is, it can make mistakes, but machines can't."

"Who said it won't happen? Machines can have problems sometimes, right?"

Zhang Zishan suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zong Lu immediately nodded in support.

"That's right. No matter what, machines are made by humans. No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than humans? Then let it make a human and see what happens!"

puff!
Chen Shuren was surprised. He had clearly been trying to hold back his laughter, so why did he laugh out loud?

While he was wondering, he saw Shi Lei next to him.

It turned out that he was not the one who laughed out loud, but Shi Lei next to him who couldn't hold it back.

Seeing Chen Shuren looking over at him, Shi Lei said embarrassedly: "Well, the little girl's words were too interesting, I couldn't help it."

As he spoke, Shi Lei glanced back and saw Du Fuliang's flushed face and Zong Lu's smug look, and he almost couldn't hold back again.

"You are just making sophistry. We are talking about the artificial intelligence and humans on the field. It is completely different from what you said!"

At this time, Du Fuliang had long forgotten that he should not offend anyone else but his girlfriend's best friend.

What's more, Zuo Shaolan is not her girlfriend yet.

"Anyway, machines are just not as powerful as humans, don't you think, Lanlan?"

Zuo Shaolan smiled and nodded.

"you're right!"

When Zong Lu heard this, he glanced at Du Fuliang, as if to say, "Please continue."

Du Fuliang saw that Zuo Shaolan had already left the stage. Although he still wanted to continue debating with Zong Lu, his reason told him that if he continued, Zuo Shaolan's favorability might drop.

Seeing that Du Fuliang was dispirited, Zong Lu snorted and continued to listen to the host's introduction.

Afterwards, the host introduced two other professional ninth-dan players, Tan Yiming and Zhai Shaojun.

Just as Du Fuliang said, it was also a compliment.

But this is not strange.

After all, that’s what a host is supposed to do.

At this time, Chen Shuren felt that what the host said was very good. He, an out-of-state person who didn't know the three ninth-dan masters, immediately understood the situation of the three people.

Xue Zehui is the youngest and is currently the most popular ninth-dan chess player.

Tan Yiming and Zhai Shaojun are veteran chess players who played against the artificial intelligence chess master last year but lost. They will try again this year.

When we say they are veteran chess players, we don’t necessarily mean their age.

Come to think of it, none of the three was over thirty years old.

It’s not that there are no ninth-dan players over the age of 30 in Yuzhou, but only players under the age of 30 have the ability and confidence to stand here.

Compared to those ninth dan players who are over 30 years old and became famous very early, young people don’t have so many concerns.

There is no need for those who have already become famous to get involved in this muddy water.

If they win, they will certainly gain fame, but if they lose, they may suddenly lose half of what they have now.

Little did people know that when the artificial intelligence chess master first came out, there were veteran chess players who challenged him.

At that time, they did not take the AI ​​chess master seriously, but as the AI ​​chess master learned more and more and the rules became more and more perfect, these old chess players were defeated!
At that time, the ninth dan was still the top person among humans. It was unimaginable that a ninth dan would lose to a nobody.

Everyone would rather think that the chess skills of some old 9th dan chess player have declined than to think that the level of the artificial intelligence chess player is too high.

As a result, the reputation of the old ninth-dan player who was the first to lose to the artificial intelligence chess player plummeted.

And because most of his industries rely on the traffic brought by his fame, when his fame declined, the income of related industries also plummeted.

At that time, the other old 9th dan players had not yet realized how powerful the artificial intelligence chess player was, so a second old 9th dan player immediately rushed forward and fought with the artificial intelligence for three rounds. As a result, they lost again, 2 to 1!

This time, people realized that something was wrong.

After the third old ninth dan came on stage and lost all three games, people realized that they had misunderstood the first old ninth dan.

Since then, "artificial intelligence chess player" has become a word that those famous chess players do not want to hear.

This is the main reason why there are no chess players over 30 years old in this kind of game.

Of course, there are secondary reasons.

That is, chess players over 30 years old rarely maintain the energy they had when they were young.

Chess skills, although it sounds mysterious, are actually the computing power of the brain.

The better your brain works, the more you can take one step and count a hundred steps.

But the human brain doesn't always work well.

So for those old 9th dan players, after they are over 30 years old, their chess skills have already begun to decline from their peak.

This is also the reason why they dare not play chess with the artificial intelligence chess master.

Young people, on the other hand, don't have so many worries.

Maybe for them, losing to an AI chess player can also increase their fame. For example, in a certain report, it will say "xxx was defeated by AI", and then a bunch of people will come to comfort them, or a bunch of haters will come to criticize them.

These are all traffic.

As long as the follow-up is maintained well, even if it is under the banner of revenge, there will be many people paying attention.

For example, Zhai Shaojun did this.

He has lost three years in a row.

That’s right, the host previously introduced that artificial intelligence has been winning for three consecutive years, and Zhai Shaojun has been there during these three years.

And Zhai Shaojun also became a famous figure among the professional ninth-dan players with nicknames such as "the invincible cockroach" and "the avenger".

Of course, not every old ninth dan is like Zhai Shaojun.

Another person, Tan Yiming, also lost once, but he did not promote himself on the Internet.

This time I came here to test my chess skills and see if I have made any progress.

Chen Shuren naturally didn't know the ins and outs of this. He came here to see how far the gap between artificial intelligence and humans was.

In his memory, there were similar things happening in his previous life, such as the game between artificial intelligence and humans.

But he knew nothing about Go at that time, so he didn't pay any attention to the so-called man-machine battle.

In this life, I have already acquired master-level Go skills, and I have been quite interested in Go recently, so I am very much looking forward to it.

"Okay, that's all for our introduction."

"Next, this is our focus this time."

"Let us first invite our defender this time, the artificial intelligence of the Zhongzhou Li Group... Chess~Sage!"

Hearing this, some people at the scene applauded.

Then, a one-and-a-half-meter-tall machine with a robotic arm and a camera was pushed out.

They said they were welcoming the contestants, but what came were two staff members pushing the contestants in.

After pushing the artificial intelligence into position, two staff members went down.

And the applause came to mind again.

There are people who hope that humans will defeat machines, and naturally there are also people who worship machines.

However, there are relatively few such people.

"How can they be like this! They don't cheer for their own kind, but cheer for a piece of shit. What? Can that piece of shit give him an autograph?"

"Haha, Lulu, stop talking. If you keep talking, I can't hold it anymore."

Zong Lu looked at Lian Xinying and gave a smile that all girls could understand.

Zhang Zishan on the side didn't understand.

"What can't you hold back?"

After these words were spoken, several girls looked at Zhang Zishan.

After seeing Zhang Zishan's confused look and he really didn't understand, Zong Lu and the others all laughed.

Just when Zhang Zishan was confused, Lian Xinying suddenly stood up and left his seat.

"Why did she leave? Didn't she say she couldn't hold it in anymore?"

Li Xiaohan was helpless and looked at Zhang Zishan and said, "She went to the toilet."

"Oh, to the bathroom... huh?"

Zhang Zishan's face suddenly turned red.

When Lian Xinying came back, Zhang Zishan's serious look made several girls laugh again.

Du Fuliang glanced at Yuan Shiyuan, which seemed to mean, "You are chasing someone, so you won't get involved?"

But Yuan Shiyuan shrugged.

He wanted to get involved, but he knew Lian Xinying and her character.

So when Lian Xinying said that, he understood it immediately.

Now that you understand, it is difficult to pretend not to understand.

So, he couldn't get involved.

If I try to get involved and get caught pretending not to understand, wouldn't I be considered a pervert or a hooligan?

Just as the girls were laughing and talking.

The chess players on the human side have also come out.

The first one to go into battle was the 'Avenger' Zhai Shaojun!

As expected, Zhai Shaojun did not forget that he came here to attract traffic. After he came on stage, he did not sit down. Instead, he waved to the people around him, bowed, and even snatched the microphone from the host.

"Everyone, I am the Avenger Zhai Shaojun! Please look forward to my good news!"

After Zhai Shaojun finished speaking, there was a round of cheers and encouragement at the scene.

At this time, netizens who were watching the game on the Internet also typed comments such as "Come on Zhai Shaojun", "Avengers triumph", "Four consecutive losses" and so on.

Netizens are not stupid either, they know that Zhai Shaojun is putting on a show.

But the Go world is so boring, and it’s still quite joyful when someone like this appears occasionally.

This is the key to Zhai Shaojun's capture of a large number of fans.

Although Zhai Shaojun wanted to say something, one still has to abide by the rules in the competition.

"Please take a seat, Zhai Shaojun, 9th Dan."

The host said politely.

Zhai Shaojun then waved his hand and sat opposite the artificial intelligence chess master.

"Well, next, it's time for the exciting game. Let's enter the game between the computer and the human brain!"

The host finished speaking and left the stage.

Two minutes later, when the scene quieted down, the game began.

In fact, it is impossible to allow spectators to appear at the competition venue in formal Go competitions.

Perhaps a loud noise would interrupt the chess player's train of thought.

But this is not a very formal game, and neither player cares much.

The artificial intelligence side will not be interfered with by humans at all.

The human ninth level has unparalleled concentration.

Unless someone hits a nine-dan chess player with a water bottle, any small noise would hardly affect a nine-dan chess player.

Unless that person's heart is already in chaos.

The chess game will begin soon.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

People were watching the two sides make their moves on the big screen.

It was fine at the beginning and everyone could keep up, but as more and more pieces were placed, more and more people started playing with their phones.

Not everyone can understand the game between two top chess players.

Although Li Xiaohan knows Go, he is only at the amateur level of 6th dan.

So she couldn't understand it early on.

On the contrary, it was the girl Zong Lu who looked longer than Li Xiaohan.

But as more and more people started to communicate privately.

Li Xiaohan discovered that Chen Shuren was still watching!

"Can he still understand?"
