Chapter 275: Chapter 203: You Don’t Really Have a System, Do You?

"[Catastrophe in the Go World—The End Is Nigh!]

[Go Is Dead!]

[All Hail the Coronation of the Emperor!!!]

[I want to see rivers of blood! I want to see the battle of human versus machine! The Emperor versus a Level 10 AI!]

Once the Go Emperor went online, several broadcasters in the Go World immediately started streaming the matches.

Since Ke Bao, 9th rank, and Li Xuan, the 9th rank, both had professional certification from Go Network, and Shen Zhenxu’s style was also very distinct, those Go broadcasters, whether professional or amateur chess players, and the viewers in their live streams quickly recognized them.

This sort of non-professional player rapidly defeating three world champions excited countless online Go enthusiasts, as if their G-spot had been hit.

To hear such a tale,

Sounds way more absurd than a princess rescuing a dragon.

But the flavor was reminiscent of those versions circulating in worldly society, overflowing with so many sensational points upon listening.

The topic had exploded on the charts.

After all, these three defeated giants, each real-world champions, were renowned figures in the global Go community.

One was the world number one, another the world number two, and one more among the top ten. Together, these three had amassed fifteen world championship titles.

Yet, when battling one after another against an online player, they were all outright crushed to the ground.

In an instant,

What used to be an incident somewhat famous within Go circles,

Suddenly became a bit more mainstream.

Although it didn’t reach the hype of the man-machine battle between Li Shishi and AlphaGo of yesteryears, it was certainly gaining traction outside of the Go community.

On B Site and other major platforms, videos related to this incident—ranging from explosive to spoof content—had rapidly multiplied.

And on hot search lists across various platforms, keywords like "Go Emperor," "Ke Bao, 9th rank," "Li Xuan, 9th rank," "Shen Zhenxu, 9th rank," became trending search terms.

This incident even momentarily occupied the middle and lower tiers of the Weibo hot search list.

Many people didn’t really understand the details or the whys and hows of these three rounds of matches; most couldn’t even comprehend Go.

They were simply interested in the story of three world champions being dethroned by an unknown player.

What a topic-rich incident that was!

Fortunately, even with the concerted efforts of the top players from Hua Country Chess Institute, the news hadn’t been exposed too widely, since only a short time had passed.

The incident had not been overhyped to a crazier level.

But even so, it was quite a sensation.

The news quickly spread among the Go communities of the Three Kingdoms in East Asia, causing many netizens who followed Go to can’t help but express their deep confusion.

Netizens from Korea, deeply involved with the chess world, and those from Japan were also shocked by the unexpected news.

At first doubting, they were then compelled to believe by the disseminated game records.

Such game records were simply outrageous.

The moves from both players were often what an AI would choose; their level was incredibly exaggerated.

Compared to the shock and rush for traffic among Hua Country netizens, their attitudes were more focused elsewhere.

Korean netizens were mostly confused and angry.

Countless voices demanded that Shen Zhenxu swim back to Korea to apologize.

After all, everyone in Korea knew the score.

Even the most revered top Go player in Korea would be globally spurned the moment they dared lose a game.

Japanese netizens, on the other hand, lamented that the Go prowess of Hua and Korea seemed mediocre and now seemed to be their hour to dominate the world of Go.

They clamored for their own professional players to step up and clash with the Go Emperor.

They hadn’t considered why their own Go community had stayed isolated for so long, shying away from global competitions, and were all immersed in the dream of their own strength.

...

In any case.

The popularity of the incident steadily grew.

It had caught the attention of Chen Yun who, after having lunch and watching short videos, came across it.

[Shocking the Chess World! The Reversal of a Network Chess Player Against a World Champion, a Wheel War Miracle Victory!]

[Dramatic Shift in the Game, Amateur VS Professional, How Did the Online Prodigy Break Through?]

[Road to a Comeback! From Nameless Pawn to Chess Legend, the Glorious Moment of a Network Chess Player!]

[The Art of Go Deciphered, Revealing the Secret to the Network Chess Player’s Victory!]

[Go Emperor, Dominating This Moment!]

Seeing one exaggerated headline after another,

And realizing he had somehow acquired the title of Go Emperor and was being hailed by the masses, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.

But it was just a brief smile, and he casually scrolled to the next video.

Such honors and attention were what ordinary people craved their whole lives but could never achieve.

At this moment, he could have made a fortune by live streaming and selling merchandise, or joining the Hua Country Chess Institute would probably be a breeze.

But...

Chen Yun truly didn’t care.

Because it seemed rather meaningless.

Money was something that Chen Yun was gradually needing less.

Whenever he wanted, he could demand hundreds of millions of US dollars from the few "dogs" at Xianghe Real Estate and in the Philippines.

Moreover, the twenty million given to him by Xianghe Real Estate had been laundered by Bai Shi through various means, so he had already sent several million to his family under legitimate pretenses.

After curing his father’s stooping back and his mother’s embarrassing public smile, he himself had lost much of his concern for money.

As for reputation...

That mattered even less.

To say nothing of how insignificant reputation seemed in the face of the true temptations of Evolution,

Not to mention that he played Go just to seek out something challenging.

Even if he did care about reputation,

Once he’d punched through Europa and the whole world knew about it, where would he lack such reputation?

At that time, he could acknowledge openly,"

"Right, right, right, it’s all me."

"Gaming and slaying indiscriminately? That’s me, playing chess and killing it? That’s also me. What? From now on, the highest place in any event related to you guys will be second? The first will always be me, the uncrowned king?!"

"The book was definitely written by me, you guys don’t need to go tipping, Yuewen Group, you don’t need to give me exactly what others tipped."

Forget about fame.

The history books would start a new Chapter from the day he became famous, solemnly recording the arrival of a new era because of him.

Chen Yun allowed himself to fantasize for a while.

He couldn’t help but laugh at his own imagination.

But then he suddenly thought of something, stopped scrolling through videos, and opened QQ to send a message to Bai Shi, who was far away in Shucheng:

"Talk to the person in charge of Go Network, and make it clear we’re not accepting any leaks of my identity..."

As Chen Yun gave instructions, he suddenly remembered Mr. Nie’s position in the Go world.

If he were to speak up, hiding might not be an option.

So he immediately added:

"Of course, it wouldn’t matter if I were exposed."

Indeed, it wouldn’t matter if he were exposed.

He was merely trying to avoid the hassle by instinctively concealing his identity.

So what if he was a bit more skilled at playing Go?

The reply came quickly.

Evidently, Bai Shi was also messing around on his phone during mealtime.

"Don’t worry, it’s all good."

"But seriously, I didn’t expect you to be so good at Go too. Do you actually have a system or something?"

Bai Shi responded with a voice message.

The amazement in his tone was hard to conceal.

Clearly.

Chen Yun’s all-around ability had even this self-proclaimed genius at a loss for words.

Cooking that surpasses top chefs.

Casually thrashing professionals in games.

A natural at sculpture after just one look.

Crushing top professional chess players in Go.

Fighting with ease.

Even wiping out a gang overnight.

Is there anything you can’t do? What is this, some kind of master-of-all system?

You couldn’t possibly be the protagonist of some urban novel, could you?

At this moment, Bai Shi in Shucheng couldn’t help but harbor deep suspicions.

For an instant, he felt that the gap between people might be even bigger than that between people and pigs.

Seeing this, Chen Yun couldn’t help but let out a chuckle and casually sent back an emoji rolling its eyes in speechlessness.

A system?

Who wouldn’t want one of those cheats with functions like adding points, checking in, and drawing lots?

Just look at how many novels where the protagonist literally soars after getting a system.

But he really didn’t have such a thing.

That didn’t mean he excluded the possibility that once he grew stronger, he might be able to create one himself.

Who knew how outrageous his future would be or if he’d actually have the power to do so?

After all, Chen Yun felt that his body was frighteningly strong, as if there was an endless potential he had yet to tap into.

And to be completely honest.

His journey thus far, although it wasn’t all just perseverance and hard work.

It felt a bit like cheating, but he really did put in a lot of effort, never stopping in his training and research.

If he had a system, based on his effort, he’d already be soaring without the need for beef.

"By the way, when will you come over to play?"

"Jiang Anping hasn’t been feeling well lately and has been coughing quite a bit."

Bai Shi suddenly sent this message.

It made Chen Yun pause for a moment.

He knew that Bai Shi had always been trying to set him up with Jiang Anping, so he made a point to update him about Jiang Anping’s health.

But he truly wasn’t interested.

Of course.

Interest or not, he still cared to some extent about this friend’s health.

After all, he was a friend, and he had casually given him the Flying Sword saying, "Seeing the sword is like seeing me."

It was impossible not to care at all.

After all, speaking of which...

He had just evolved and gained a new ability with healing effects that could be activated remotely with spiritual power.

So, without affecting his own training here and without being noticed by Jiang Anping...

He could try to see if he could help Jiang Anping.

Without impacting himself at all.

Chen Yun didn’t mind helping out someone he considered a friend, and he wasn’t heartless enough to ignore everyone.

Family affection could be an anchor for his humanity.

So could a friend’s wellbeing.

Thinking this far.

Chen Yun’s spiritual power spread out through his super visual-range perception connection.

Instantly.

He crossed over a thousand kilometers.

Allowing his consciousness to have an out-of-body experience and come upon the Jade Sword he had given to Jiang Anping.
