After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 112 111. Tennis Twins
“So you’ve become a professional chess player?”

Looking at the small notebook in his hand, Zhan Lang didn't know what to say.

According to the upgrades in fantasy novels, generally speaking, auspicious auras are falling from the sky and golden lotuses are emerging from the ground.

As a result, in reality, the upgrade happened and the national team gave each person a certificate in a small booklet, and then we took a photo and that was it.

In fact, it’s not over yet. I guess there will be some report in the newspaper later.

"Professional fourth stage."

Looking at the professional rank awarded to him, Zhan Lang could not help but shook his head. It was neither low nor high, in fact, it was about the same.

It was probably awarded based on his winning of the World Amateur Championship and his performance in the Kansai Ki-in.

This is not the first time that Chinese Go has considered awarding professional ranks. The idea of ​​implementing it was considered 20 years ago, but the awarding of ranks was later cancelled for some reason.

This time, the ranks are awarded by first recommending a "rank grid" based on past performance, and then awarding the corresponding ranks based on competition results, rather than just giving the initial rank.

To put it simply, several representative figures of Chinese Go are awarded different professional ranks, and then examinations for each professional rank are opened. If you pass the exam, you can be assigned this rank, and if you fail, you have to wait for the next time.

However, next year's professional ranking may not be like the first time, where all ranks can be obtained by passing the exam, or even only the initial rank can be obtained.

This has also caused many talented chess players who signed up for this competition to have concerns. After all, if they apply for a rank that is too high and fail to pass, it would be embarrassing if they could only be ranked as a professional beginner next year.

Whether to strive for a high rank in one go or to play it safe and practical is a question that everyone needs to consider.

"What are you doing sitting in this corner? You are the protagonist today!"

Yin Chuan looked at Zhan Lang sitting in the corner and couldn't help but sit over and say something.

Tonight's celebration banquet is held for the recent champions from each team. The most popular players in Go are Fang Yuan, who just won the New Sports Cup National Championship, and Zhan Lang, who won the World Go Amateur Championship.

As a result, Zhan Lang just sat in the corner in a daze. Isn't this a waste of opportunity?

As the protagonist, shouldn't you go out and be admired by thousands of people?

"It's boring. It feels like a social gathering."

Zhan Lang was speechless when he heard what he said. It seemed like this celebration party was just like the blind date gatherings held decades later.

Fortunately, there is no need to pick two more people to go on stage to play games, otherwise it would be really awkward.

Rather than having awkward conversations with others, Zhan Lang would rather rot in a corner. After all, there is really nothing to pretend to be.

"It's no use for you to sit in this corner. You are on the list, so you still have to go up and receive the honorary certificate later.

Many people have been eyeing you for a long time. It is said that many female athletes have their eyes on you.

Look over there, the rhythmic gymnasts, they are all very beautiful.

There are many beautiful girls in other teams, so you can choose."

"Forget it. I'm still more than six years away from the legal age for marriage. No one is so eager to introduce me to a date."

Yin Chuan said nonchalantly, "Many people get married before they reach the age of marriage. My brother even had a son when he was 18."

Getting married and having children before reaching the required age is very normal in this era, and it is still common in rural counties even decades later.

Many people failed to get into high school after completing nine years of compulsory education, and after they started working, they started planning their marriage.

When Zhan Lang was in high school in his previous life, he was shocked to hear that one of his junior high school classmates was getting married.

But Zhan Lang shook his head decisively: "Forget it, women will only affect my chess playing speed."

Once you reach a certain level, even female celebrities will line up to come to you.

Men should always put their careers first.

Once you have a career, other things will follow. Your sister-in-law will even treat you to strawberries in her private cinema.

Without a career, no one will care about you, let alone expect someone to stay with you and live with you.

The words fame and fortune are always deeply bound together and inseparable. Having said this, Zhan Lang was ready to get up and leave, but as soon as he turned around, he seemed to bump into something.

Zhan Lang looked down and...

Someone actually dribbled the ball and hit someone!

Before Zhan Lang could say anything, the other party apologized directly: "I'm sorry."

"fine."

Zhan Lang didn't figure out who hit whom, and he wanted to say sorry, but the other party apologized first, so he just said it was okay.

At this time, the girl who bumped into Zhan Lang suddenly spoke: "Brother, you are Zhan Lang from the Go team, right?"

"Correct."

"Thank you."

"what?"

Zhan Lang was confused when he heard this. "Why are you thanking me? I don't even know you."

Looking at Zhan Lang who looked confused, the woman quickly explained: "I am the female tennis player Xiao Leyan, maybe you don't know me.

But do you remember that last year at the train station you subdued a bag snatcher and took the bag to the police station?
That bag was mine. At that time, I saw you running past me and chasing the robber and then I lost sight of him. It was not until the police station notified me that I realized you had helped me get the bag back.

I have always wanted to say thank you to you, but the police station said that they did not register your information, so they did not find you. I did not expect to meet you here today. "

Hearing this, Zhan Lang seemed to remember something.

When I first came to the capital for training, I was robbed by some bastard just as I left the train station.

Moreover, that bastard had the audacity to rob others after running away after robbing him. Zhan Lang chased him without thinking and let him see what military boxing was.

"Well, it's nothing. At that time, that guy... stole my things, so I chased him. It's just a piece of cake, don't worry about it."

After all, my main purpose has never been to be a hero, it’s just because I was robbed.

So it's just a side note, no need to say thank you.

"No, no, no. I'm still very grateful because I had just come back from a competition and my first medal in my life was in my bag. If I hadn't found it, I..."

"Le Yan, who are you chatting with?"

Before Xiao Leyan finished speaking, another woman came over with a cup.

As soon as the other party came, he pushed Xiao Leyan aside, then smiled and said to Zhan Lang: "You are the world champion of Go, Mr. Zhan Lang, right? I am Hu Liena, who just won the Asian Women's Singles Championship. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, Hello."

Looking at the way Zhan Lang looked her up and down, Hu Liena felt very satisfied.

After all, she had just won the Asian Women's Singles Championship and was currently the number one female tennis player in Asia.

In this celebration banquet, I can say that I am one of the absolute protagonists.

It is normal for Zhan Lang to know me, after all, I am the real star.

But Zhan Lang was simply shocked by the other party's name.

It sounds so familiar.

Could it be that there is some God-King hiding at this celebration banquet?
Zhan Lang even seemed to hear a familiar voice in his ears.

"Now, please invite the outstanding athlete whose name you heard to come up and receive the award. The Asian women's singles tennis champion is Hu Liena."

Hu Liena was about to say something, but after hearing the name, she smiled at Zhan Lang and turned around to go on stage to receive the award.
