Chapter 316: Chapter 226: Hurry and invite The Buddha!

After creating an ability for himself that came with its own background music, Chen Yun was quite excited and played around with it for half a day.

Sometimes he would decipher the broadcast in his mind and play music using telekinesis in reality.

As everyone knows,

Qiao Feng’s combat power derives ninety percent from his background music.

No one has ever gained any advantage when facing his exclusive BGM.

And in many fantasy works, the appearance of the BGM usually means the protagonist is about to break out.

Chen Yun was naturally very interested in such a fun and mystical ability.

And most importantly, even without the mystical notion of breaking out, it’s still really cool to use!

Please!

This is having BGM in real life!

From now on, as long as there are no people around, even cooking would require the theme song of "The Godly Chef Xiao Fugui."

Not to mention if there is ever a fierce fight.

There’d be a need for a few explosive songs.

So that Chen Yun’s punches to the flesh are also full of rhythm.

...

Meanwhile,

at noon on April 26th,

the world championship site of the Autumn Chrysanthemum Cup Go competition.

The final had ended, and the champion was Li Xuan, the 9th rank.

As the competition concluded, the observing crowd began to rise from their seats in an orderly fashion.

Among them, some were discussing the exquisite moves of the game in low voices, gesturing in the air, trying to recreate that amazing play; others seemed to be savoring the aftertaste of the match, their faces revealing a lingering sentiment.

Ke Bao, who had stopped at the finals, and Xiao Shen, who had stopped at the semifinals, were sitting in the resting room, both with somewhat grim expressions on their faces.

They were not upset because they lost the match or failed to win the world championship this time.

One was an Eight-time World Champion, and the other was a six-time champion.

They didn’t care much about one championship.

The strength among the top Go players differed very little, and it was normal for them to have wins and losses against each other.

Plus, the winner was Li Xuan, the 9th rank, an old friend of theirs.

At most, they felt a bit regretful, but certainly not enough to darken their mood.

And rather than saying that the two of them were grim, it was more accurate to say that all the professional chess players still in the resting room were grim.

Everyone’s faces were stern, and for a time, the resting room was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

The reason for their solemn expressions was entirely due to another event that had taken place that morning: the organizers had signed a promotional help contract with a company called Future Intelligence, but they didn’t expect the company to be so arrogant.

The specifics were:

Just as the final had ended.

After dealing with the media interviews, Ke Bao, Xiao Shen, and other well-acquainted professional chess players like Li Xuan were preparing to go eat together.

Not only to celebrate Li Xuan, the 9th rank’s championship but also to bid farewell to Xiao Shen who had stayed for several days at the Hua Country Chess Institute for the competition.

It was about time for him to return to his country.

But before they could leave,

the sponsor of the Autumn Chrysanthemum Cup appeared and asked them to stay and play a few games against the representatives of the Future Wisdom Control Company who had developed a new Go AI, to collect some data.

This request was not unusual.

Gold patrons are the biggest priority.

Although Go is an elegant sport, without sponsors, it’s as good as dead.

So they happily accepted.

Li Xuan, the 9th rank and the champion of this Autumn Chrysanthemum Cup, first agreed to the request, to play a round against the representative of the Future Wisdom Control Company before lunch.

Humans naturally cannot beat today’s AI.

Even for such a small company.

In the quiet and solemn Go room, sunlight filtered through the paper windows and spilled onto the Go board, adding a layer of warm light to this Go match.

Li Xuan, the 9th rank with black pieces, went first, every move he made was steady and powerful, as if he was weaving an impermeable net across the board.

However, the representative of Future Intelligence wearing the headset moved his white pieces fluidly like water, each play appeared ordinary but was actually full of strategy.

As the game progressed, the black pieces gradually felt the subtle shifts in the situation. The intent to encircle the white stones was cleverly dissolved by the white with minimal sacrifices, and it was instead the black formation that began to show weaknesses. The Main General of the black stones tried to turn the tide and intensified the attack but did not anticipate that this was exactly what the white wanted. The opponent used the black’s impatience to their advantage, devising cunning moves that carved new life paths on the board, disintegrating the black’s defense step by step.

Mid-game, the black’s situation was precarious. On the board, the white pieces shone like scattered stars, nimbly weaving through the gaps in the black stones, while the black influence seemed as if it was being torn apart by an invisible hand, fragmented and isolated.

Despite numerous attempts at a counterattack, black was each time deftly countered by white with precise calculations and far-reaching strategies, each move was like slowly driving a knife into the black’s heart.

In the end, when the white laid down that decisive piece, the whole board became clear; the black’s "Dragon" was ruthlessly captured, with no ground left for a comeback.

Li Xuan, the 9th rank, quickly conceded defeat.

But after the game, when preparing to shake hands,

the company representative from Future Intelligence outrightly made a bold statement, saying that no matter how many world champions like this come, they wouldn’t be anything special in front of them.

That representative even brazenly declared that their AI used a new algorithm, and at present, no other AI could beat theirs.

In the afternoon’s matches, these so-called world champions and Go Ninth Ranks, even if paired with the strongest current Go AIs, were destined to lose.
