After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 232 231. A Final Battle

"Is Zhan Lang asleep?"

Hao Qiang looked at Zhan Lang, who fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane, woke up after getting off the plane, and then fell asleep again in the taxi, and said helplessly.

Aren't young people supposed to be full of energy? Why did he fall asleep as soon as he got to his seat?

The other person just fell asleep regardless of the occasion and was able to stay asleep. And judging from Zhan Lang's slight snoring, he was probably sleeping soundly. I'm afraid he hasn't been in very good spirits all along.

Hao Qiang was really worried that after such a long time, Zhan Lang was under too much pressure, which made him feel bad and directly affected his performance in this competition.

There was no way. Hao Qiang, who had insisted on holding this competition from the beginning, did not expect that the China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament would develop into this and reach such an astonishing level of attention.

The level of attention now is really too high, both official and private.

Kenichi Mitsuba's six consecutive victories gave the entire Chinese Go community a cold shower, but this cold shower only extinguished the boiling desire to win among the crowd.

The attention paid to this game throughout China has not decreased, but has instead shown a subtle upward trend.

There is no way. The more desperate people are, the more they will have unnecessary hopes, until the last hope is extinguished.

Zhan Lang is now the last hope to create a miracle. As long as there is one person left, the Chinese team has a theoretical possibility of winning.

So now everyone's eyes are fixed on Zhan Lang. In the past month in China, Zhan Lang has been playing games from 9 to 5 every day and exercising at night without fail.

However, due to the long-term dual physical and psychological burden, Hao Qiang was worried that Zhan Lang would collapse as soon as he left those terrifying sights.

When Ye Qing heard this, she laughed and said, "If Zhan Lang can't sleep and we are worried, it means the problem is serious.

He is eating and drinking as usual now, and can fall asleep as soon as he gets in the car, which proves that his mentality is fine and he is confident about the game.

So there is absolutely no need to worry, our main purpose is to provide companionship, so just rest assured."

"Hopefully."

Hao Qiang also knew that he was the emperor and the eunuchs were not anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He was now an anxious king and he wished he could drink another bottle of anxious syrup.

If he wasn't such a wimp, Hao Qiang would have wished he could go on stage and fight Sanye Kenichi with blood.

Compared to himself who seemed to be extremely anxious, Ye Qing always acted as if he was confident. Hao Qiang had been running to the chess academy every day in the past year to know about the affairs of these two guys. It was impossible for him not to see it unless he was blind or deaf.

Ye Qing pursued Zhan Lang, but Zhan Lang pretended to be deaf and dumb.

But like most people, although there is a few years age difference between the two, Hao Qiang is quite supportive.

Because now is different from the future, it is believed that an athlete’s professional career ends at the age of 30 and they can find another way out.

Now that there are so many real examples, everyone believes that if Go players are in good condition, they can retire at the normal age of 60.

It is very likely that Zhan Lang will devote his entire life to studying Go, and he will not start to change jobs until his performance declines at least in his 40s or 50s. Before that, for most of his life, everyone naturally hopes that he can find someone who can take care of him.

According to the traditional thinking of the older generation, if a person runs a business outside, he or she must find someone to take care of the housework at home.

Ye Qing perfectly meets these requirements. She is a professional Go player, can take care of the family and understand Zhan Lang. In the eyes of the older generation, she is the perfect daughter-in-law.

They could actually understand why Zhan Lang pretended to be deaf and dumb. After all, when people are young, the more they are faced with the right choice, the more unwilling they are. They insist on talking about free love and just want to go out and find excitement, only to regret it when they get old.

"You don't seem worried at all? Are you so confident in fighting against Lang?"

Ye Qing smiled and said, "Of course, he is Zhan Lang, he will definitely win, so just relax."

"You are blindly believing."

Hao Qiang originally thought that Ye Qing felt at ease because he knew Zhan Lang had prepared some secret weapon in advance, but after hearing this, he didn't know what to say.

Zhan Lang has not yet reached the point where people can blindly believe him. The distance from Tokyo International Airport to the competition venue is quite far. Zhan Lang woke up after sleeping for more than an hour in the car, but he still hasn't arrived.

"I'm in Japan again, and this time I'm alone."

Looking at the scenery outside the car, Zhan Lang silently shook his head and said something.

Every time the tournament was held in Tokyo, Zhan Lang, as the head coach, would accompany the players. It can be said that this year Zhan Lang spent a lot of time traveling between China and Japan, and he was exhausted.

And now, it was finally Zhan Lang's turn to play in the game, but there was no teammate around him.

"By the way, where is the venue for this competition?"

Looking at the scenery outside the taxi window, Zhan Lang asked Ye Qing who was accompanying him.

The venue for Japan's competition this time is not in the Tokyo Chess Institute, but somewhere else.

"Atami."

Hearing this name, Zhan Lang seemed to think of something and nodded.

After playing Go for so many years, Zhan Lang is no longer the fun-loving person he was before he traveled through time. Apart from playing clichés, he knows very little about Go.

Today, Zhanlang knows a lot about most of the Go stories, for example, Atami in Japan is a famous hot spring resort in Japan.

Of course, since Japan is willing to hold the competition in this place, it is also because this place has an extraordinary relationship with Japanese Go.

It was here that Honinbo Shusai, the last hereditary celebrity in Japan, died.

Moreover, the All Japan Go Congress is being held here now. Japan deliberately arranged this game here because it wants to hold the closing ceremony of the China-Japan Go Challenge directly after this game.

Yes, the Chinese side had received the news before. Before the start of this competition, the Japanese side was already preparing for the closing ceremony of the China-Japan Go Challenge.

And they prepared it with great fanfare, without telling anyone, disgusting! They just said that this match was the last one, and that the match in the Chinese capital could not be held.

No, to some extent it is more uncomfortable than saying it openly, because the other party doesn't take you seriously at all, and even the notification is just a routine notification.

At this point, China really has no way out.

Hao Qiang didn't say anything when he heard this. When he arrived at the airport and was greeted by the staff of the Japan Chess Institute, they directly gave him the schedule for this trip.

Seeing the entry "Speech by Mr. Hao Qiang, Head of the Chinese Delegation" specially marked in red in the closing ceremony (or social gathering) column, Old Hao smiled knowingly. He understood that Japan might not be protesting, but felt that this was how the competition was supposed to be.

Although Hao Qiang is a super optimist in the ring match, he still feels that it is too difficult to expect Zhan Lang to win two consecutive games this time.

Therefore, he prepared two speeches for the closing ceremony in China, one for the situation where Zhan Lang lost to Mitsuba Kenichi, and the other for the situation where Zhan Lang defeated Mitsuba Kenichi but lost to Toya Masao.

However, Hao Qiang did not discuss these two drafts with Zhan Lang and Ye Qing, for fear that they would laugh at him and say that these speeches would boost the enemy's morale and destroy his own prestige.

Deep in Hao Qiang's heart, he had always hoped that neither of these two speeches would be used.

But can such expectations really be realized?

Taxis in Japan are expensive, but they are also fast.

Zhan Lang and his party soon arrived at Nuanhaizhuang Hotel, where the competition was held.

At this time, a large number of "Japanese Support Group" tourists organized by Japanese travel agencies also arrived from all over Japan on this day, so Nuanhai Village seemed particularly lively.

Looking at the sea view near the hotel, Zhan Lang seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: "This time I am fighting a desperate battle. The Marquis of Huaiyin won the battle that year, and I don't think I will lose today."

The most crucial battle of the China-Japan Go Tournament will be fought here.
