After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?
Chapter 9 9 Entering the City
Chapter 9 9. Entering the City
"How about it?"
Looking at Zhan Lang coming out of the Jinmen Sports Stadium, Ouyang asked quickly.
As the leading teacher of this team, Ouyang knows the students he has brought with him well.
Among the five people who came to participate in the competition, the only ones who can really be considered to be able to play Go are his eldest nephew and Wang Xiaoer. The others are at the entry level and are just making up the numbers.
Zhan Lang was there to make up the numbers, but as the game went on he found that Wang Xiaoer could not beat him.
This is not the most important thing, because Zhan Lang has been practicing chess hard for the past three months, resulting in his ranking in the final exam falling from first to second in the class!
Ouyang felt it would be unacceptable if he didn't get some good grades.
Just to get a place, you ruined your child from first to second?
Although this sounds a bit Versailles, but as his uncle and teacher, I do feel a little embarrassed.
Hearing this, Zhan Lang shook his head helplessly, then sighed.
Looking at Zhan Lang who was shaking his head and sighing, Ouyang couldn't help but ask, "Lost?"
It's not that bad, is it? The best player in his school lost in the first round?
Could it be that something happened to the city's masters?
"It's okay. Didn't they say that the first stage will be a seven-round round, with the 36 with the highest scores going into the knockout round? We only lost one game, so we still have a good chance!"
Hearing this, Zhan Lang sighed and shook his head.
Although they just played their first game today, the level of their opponent was far beyond Zhan Lang's expectations.
Zhan Lang used a trick right from the start, and the opponent didn't fall for it at all!
Because the other party has absolutely no idea how to get tricked!
It is really……
Too bad!
"We won. Our opponent was too weak. The first game made me feel like I had trained for nothing for the past three months."
Hearing this, Ouyang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized that Zhan Lang was in Versailles.
You're only fourteen, who did you learn to act so pretentiously from?
Looking at his pretentious nephew, Ouyang couldn't help but complain: "Your opponent is so weak, why are you still coming out so late?"
More than half of this morning's competition time has passed, and many people have already come out one after another. Some even came out not long after. Zhan Lang was one of the last to come out.
Zhan Lang didn't know what to say: "I killed two of his big dragons, but he refused to surrender and just laid down all the pieces. Then I asked the referee to decide the winner.
I won nearly a hundred points, and stayed in jail with him for a long time. "
Many of the children who participated in the competition only understood the rules. Some of them didn’t even understand the rules very well and refused to admit defeat even if they were all killed.
But it's normal, this competition is basically composed of students from primary schools, junior high schools, high schools and universities in various cities and counties of Tianjin. Each county rented a bus to bring people here.
In this day and age, even in a relatively developed place like Tianjin, most people are still concerned about food, and few would consider leisure activities like playing chess.
Children in the county town are better off. Children in the countryside go straight to work after school, herding cattle and sheep, feeding grass, and doing all kinds of things. It's not like decades later when they still have time to do homework or play games.
"Give."
"Thank you, Brother Lang."
The venue for the Tianjin Youth Go Competition is the largest stadium in Tianjin. There is a small shop next to the entrance. Zhan Lang bought two bottles of soda inside and handed one to Wang Xiaoer.
Later, the most famous carbonated beverage, Coca-Cola, was rarely seen. I bought the domestically produced Beibingyang, which came with two plastic straws in a small glass bottle so I could drink and chew at the same time. This is one of the few pleasures in this era. In 2024, no matter if it was the Golden Arches or some perverted old man, they would not even give you paper straws, and let you drink directly.
Zhan Lang bit the straw and sipped the soda. Fourteen years had passed in this era. The taste of this era made Zhan Lang almost forget the taste of various types of milk tea bombarded with sugar and takeout filled with various seasonings.
"Forty-four more years to live."
Thinking of this, Zhan Lang couldn't help but sigh.
The two of them just sat on the steps, waiting for everyone from their school to come out and then go back to the guesthouse together.
"Waiter, I think the master is quite educated, why did he give you this name?"
Wang Yaozu was able to learn Go during the Republic of China period and even made a name for himself. Although he was not extremely wealthy, he probably at least had some cultural background.
After all, with the incredible literacy rate in the Republic of China despite the persecution of bald men, you were already an educated person if you could read.
But as a cultured person, why would the master give his grandson such a name?
Wang Xiaoer also imitated Zhan Lang and bit the straw to sip the Arctic Ocean: “I had a brother before, but he died a few months after he was born.
Then the neighbors said that the name was too good and it would be hard to raise a child, while a bad name would be easier to raise a child. So my parents changed my name to Wang Xiaoer. It is said that he originally wanted to be called Wang Erniu.
My grandfather gave me the name Wang Wenping, so when I became an adult, I went to the police station to change it myself."
Although most people's names in this era were not very good, at least they were called Zhenguo, Zhenhua, Jianjun, and Jianguo. Wang Xiaoer was indeed even worse.
Wang Xiaoer himself had wanted to change his name a long time ago, but unfortunately he was still a minor.
Look at how good the name of Langge is. Beat the waves ahead! Ride the wind and waves!
“Brother Lang, the first stage of this competition lasts for five days, and those who don’t make it to the knockout stage will go home directly.
But we have two matches a day, and we can take a break on the third day and go for a walk in the city?"
Zhan Lang and his classmates' school is in a county under Tianjin. Nowadays, long-distance travel basically relies on buses.
Most people will never use trains as a means of transportation in their entire lives.
Unlike the popularity of high-speed rail in later generations, as long as you have some spare money, you can travel to other nearby provinces and cities on Saturdays and Sundays.
Nowadays, going from the village to the town to the market, from the town to the county, and from the county to the city are all really long journeys. Even many children have never traveled this far.
"There's nothing to do here, right? There aren't even any internet cafes these days, what are we going to do there?"
Zhan Lang stretched and couldn't help but say that even in Tianjin City, there were no entertainment activities available now.
The Internet cafes that were later eliminated no longer existed in this era. People didn’t even know what a computer was, let alone other entertainment venues.
There is a cinema, but there are also cinemas in many places in the county and towns. The movies shown now are all pretty much the same and there is nothing interesting to watch.
Zhan Lang quickly gave his instructions.
"It's better to sleep."
PS: Xiaopang's hard power is still very strong (he is often at the top of the ratings and has the highest win rate in national team training matches), but he is not good in the second half of big competitions (he started to fall apart in the quarterfinals and semifinals, and has yet to win a national championship). Putting Xiaopang in the first place does not put any great pressure to win, and it is still beneficial to Xiaopang's performance, and he has the possibility of defeating Shen Zi.
