Chapter 199: Chapter 160: I’ll Be the Horse Right Now! You Be the Main General!_2

Particularly breathtaking was the way Bai Shi displayed exceptional judgment and skills in the crucial life and death struggles during the Go game. In one decisive battle, Bai Shi used a clever move dubbed "Life and Death," not only neutralizing Ke Bao’s offensive but also turning the tables and turning what was once Ke Bao’s territory into oblivion. That move, like thunder on the Go board, left spectators in awe.

As the fight for territory on the board dwindled, Bai Shi’s advantage became increasingly clear. Despite Ke Bao’s desperate efforts, under Bai Shi’s flawless defense and precise endgame, each attempt seemed increasingly difficult.

Eventually, when the last piece was played, the outcome on the board was clear.

Ke Bao, 9th rank, yielding first to play black, also lost.

He undoubtedly deserved the title of Go Emperor of the internet.

It was not only his imaginative opening and mid-game combat prowess that were unmatched; his powerful calculation and coordination in the endgame were completely overwhelming.

Zhan Ying and a host of 9th ranks fell silent as well.

Such a game was absolutely thrilling, and Ke Bao’s 9th rank’s repeated defeat made everyone realize the formidable strength of their opponent.

These professionals had played against Ke Bao, 9th rank numerous times and it was hard to imagine someone like him being pushed to such an extent.

The live chat also went wild.

[Black speaks!]

[I now declare, the internet Go Emperor is truly the number one!]

[Doesn’t he play three real-person games every day? There’s one more! Play quickly! I want to see a river of blood flow!]

[Exactly, Old Zhan should leverage his connections and call over Xiao Xuan and Xiao Shen, and have Ke Bao, 9th rank join them to battle like three heroes against Lu Bu!]

...

Looking at the chess board in front of him,

Ke Bao, 9th rank, squinted and pondered for a long while.

From being crushed when taking the lead to being slaughtered while yielding first.

He deeply realized the strength of his opponent, which unlike a top AI which was endlessly powerful, was more like being able to see the taillights ahead yet no matter how much he chased, he couldn’t catch up.

Eager to start analyzing the game with AI, Ke Bao, 9th rank, had already been profoundly shocked by many of the moves during their match.

But before that,

he quickly sent a private message to the internet Go Emperor.

[You truly are the number one in the world! May I consult with you often in the future?]

[Also, with your skills, are you interested in participating in the World Championship?]

[I can get you connected.]

[If there’s a team event, I’ll be the lesser horse and you must definitely be the Main General!]

Ke Bao, 9th rank, sent a lot of messages.

His attitude was extremely humble.

Clearly, he was eager to bring his opponent into the professional domain, even if his opponent always took the lead in each game.

He was conscious of being the lesser horse.

However, after waiting for a long time, all he got back was one sentence [When I’m free, we can play chess together].

This made him feel deep regret.

····························

On April 10th, late at night.

After finishing his game of Go, Chen Yun stretched leisurely, rising slowly from his seat.

Handling two boards while manipulating the purple sandalwood Gundam with his spiritual power was quite an interesting experience.

The first two games against real players were not bad, and that 9th rank piqued his interest,

although no matter whether he led or yielded first, that 9th rank still couldn’t beat him.

Yet Chen Yun still thought the guy had potential.

It would be good to play with him again when he had the time.

Of course, he would decline the invitation to be the lesser horse and let him lead the team.

Upon receiving the invitation,

he immediately messaged Bai Shi to draft a lawyer’s notice, instructing Go Network not to disclose his personal information.

Then, no matter how much they wanted him to compete, it wouldn’t matter.

Playing Go was truly just a pastime for Chen Yun; he had never thought about entering any competitions.

Before, he could easily dominate the professional players in the competitive gaming domain, but he still did not choose to compete.

Making money? It was not necessary.

After being supported by Xianghe Real Estate, he practically lacked nothing.

Becoming famous? He had no interest.

Now, he just wanted to keep a low profile and quietly engage in training himself, striving to see just how high the sky was and where the limit of evolution truly lay.

Besides, playing with those stinky Chess pots was uninteresting.

Only playing against AI bore some interest.

Speaking of which, Chen Yun couldn’t help but sigh.

The Tenth-Rank AI, available after winning three games against human opponents, was indeed very strong.

For the first time, Chen Yun experienced the sensation of being enveloped by a sheer veil.

At last, Chen Yun felt that his days on the Go Network, where he continuously beat weaker players and polluted the database, were not in vain. He had indeed found something challenging.

The strongest Go AI, with its formidable computational power, had moved far ahead in the realm of Go, much further than humans.

The current strongest AI in Go could give the best human players two stones. A two-stone gap was significant—if it could give two stones, it indicated that the skill levels were entirely different.

Even the best among the Professional Ninth-Rank players would struggle to give two stones to an amateur player.

Facing such an AI,

Chen Yun was practically helpless in even-game matches.

In handicap games where he was allowed a stone, he barely managed to hang on; only in two-stone handicap games could he win.

And even this win was not assured.

Clearly, he was still a bit shy of this strongest Go AI’s level; his computational power had not yet reached a genuinely exaggerated extent.

However, Chen Yun’s strength lay in his rapid progress with every game. After only four games with this Level 10 AI, he could almost certainly win in handicap games.

This made Chen Yun nod in satisfaction.

Finding something even slightly challenging was too difficult.

Before he knew it, he was engrossed from the afternoon straight into the late night.

The night, like a painter tiptoeing quietly, laid out a profound and tranquil scroll of painting. The sky donned its most solemn evening suit, the deep blue gradually sinking into pitch-black, with stars like shattered diamonds sewn onto the night sky, twinkling with distant, mysterious light.

City lights gradually lit up, echoing the starry sky above, resembling another Milky Way on the ground. Neon lights gently swayed along the streets, guiding the way for those returning at night, with each light hiding a story, either warm or lonely.

The occasional sound of cars drove through, unusually clear in this quiet night, yet quickly absorbed by the embrace of darkness, returning to calm.

Perceiving the endless night.

Chen Yun gazed intently at the purple sandalwood Gundam in front of him.

Tonight, he simply chose not to go out for physical training.

The tungsten steel ball weighing four tons did not offer much improvement anymore.

Getting a bigger one from Xianghe Real Estate wouldn’t happen anytime soon either.

And training in the Transparent World was something he could just as well do at home.

It was a good opportunity to simultaneously train his visual and auditory senses, his main character, and his spiritual power while intensively applying a patina to the purple sandalwood Gundam with his spiritual power.

The most important thing now was to quickly apply a patina to this purple sandalwood Gundam using his spiritual power.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun felt his spiritual power operating at high speed, as if his telekinesis was circling around the purple sandalwood Gundam for a long time.

This process took much longer than creating ten Flying Swords, clearly indicating that quality was somewhat impacted during the patination process.

However, after another afternoon and evening of intense telekinetic play by Chen Yun,

Finally, at a certain moment, enlightenment was achieved!

A connection, faint yet real, spontaneously emerged, linking Chen Yun with the purple sandalwood Gundam.

Though the purple sandalwood Gundam showed no visible changes, under the illumination, the warm texture of the wood and the mechanical beauty of the Gundam’s body merged, creating a unique visual impact.

Purple sandalwood, a precious and ancient hardwood known for its profound color, delicate textures, hard material, and far-reaching aroma.

It should have been completely unrelated to the Gundam, yet now it oddly harmonized.

Feeling this successful patination and the connection of super visual-range position perception that appeared in his mind, Chen Yun couldn’t help but reveal an excited smile.
