Let’s not mention that Principal Ding would definitely not agree, even An Yujia herself found it inappropriate.

"Okay, Miss An, then we have happily decided. The challenge will take place at Mist City Arts and Science University in Mist City, on May 15th. We will soon bring AlphaGo, complete the relevant procedures, and come to Xia Country."

Larry Page replied in the email.

After finalizing the time and place for the AlphaGo versus Big White challenge, the event was placed on the major event schedule of Mist City Arts and Science University.

But that wasn’t all.

Ding Yue also had the PR department use the official Twitter account of Mist City Arts and Science University to announce the details of AlphaGo’s challenge to Big White to the public on the internet.

As for generating buzz, that was entirely unnecessary.

The news of AlphaGo challenging Big White had already been the top trending story for the past two days, holding the number one spot for a whole day.

After Mist City Arts and Science University posted this tweet, it immediately went trending, and the vast majority of netizens waiting for this challenge between AlphaGo and Big White knew about the time and place.

At the same time, they also knew how to watch the challenge.

For the vast majority of netizens, naturally, they would watch the live broadcast.

Only a very few netizens were allowed the opportunity to go to Mist City Arts and Science University to watch the challenge live.

After all, the atmosphere of watching live is quite different from a broadcast.

"May 15th, so that’s a week from next Sunday, right?"

"I remember that Mist City Arts and Science University is hosting the National University Sports Games on May 8th, aren’t they?"

"Yes, the National University Sports Games are held at Mist City Arts and Science University, and the closing ceremony is on May 15th."

"Good lord, could it be that the closing ceremony of the University Games will seamlessly transition to the challenge between AlphaGo and Big White?"

"This schedule arrangement is just brilliant!"

"I really want to be there live to watch the challenge 0.0"

"By then, I hope our Big White will definitely crush Google’s AlphaGo."

"They’ve set the date and place for the challenge this quickly?"

"I thought Mist City Arts and Science University would take Big White to America to accept the challenge."

"Exactly, that’s how it should be. Since they are challenging our Big White, let them come to us. The challenge venue should be in our Xia Country. Otherwise, who knows what kind of problems might arise during the challenge in America."

The topic of Google’s AlphaGo robot challenging Mist City Arts and Science University’s AI robot Big White trended for several days, its popularity lasting until almost the end of the May Day holiday, only then gradually subsiding on Twitter.

During the May Day holiday, almost every day there were trending topics related to the challenge between Google’s AlphaGo and Big White.

After the May Day holiday, university students began to return to school for regular classes.

However, for Mist City Arts and Science University, there were just two or three more days before the National University Sports Games were to officially begin.

In those two or three days, sports teams from universities across the country had already arrived at Mist City Arts and Science University one after another.

About the hospitality for the sports teams from universities around the nation participating in the competition, Principal Ding Yue of Mist City Arts and Science University had given instructions early on to ensure the Cultural and Sports Department handled the coordination and the Logistics Department took care of all the hosting universities’ accommodation and other logistics issues.

Director Xiong Yang and Huang, who were responsible for the Logistics Department, had always been very experienced in this regard, so everything was arranged in an orderly manner in the past couple of days as more and more university sports teams arrived.

Furthermore, Principal Ding had Director Xiong Yang and Huang report the relevant situations to him after work every day.

May 7th, in the afternoon.

"Principal Ding, at present, hundreds of university sports teams from across the nation have arrived at our school and have all been arranged accommodations at the Central Hotel."

Today, Director Xiong Yang from the Cultural and Sports Department reported the situation to Principal Ding.

Over a hundred university sports teams, with thousands of student athletes and their coaches, had already arrived at Mist City Arts and Science University. Doing well in this aspect was a good beginning for the host of the National University Sports Games.

Besides the staff of the Cultural and Sports and Logistics Departments of Mist City Arts and Science University who were ensuring the well-being of the thousands of participants and their coaches, there were also many personnel from the Mist City Education Bureau, the Sports Bureau, and other departments who came to assist Mist City Arts and Science University.

After all, the actual organizers of this National University Sports Games were the education bureau, sports bureau, culture and tourism bureau, and other departments of Mist City; Mist City Arts and Science University was merely the venue.

But Mist City Arts and Science University did such a commendable job that the student athletes from across the country couldn’t help but feel that this year’s National University Sports Games was probably the best-organized one to date in all aspects.

Most importantly, the Mist City Arts and Science University campus was vast, and the facilities were comprehensive. They were even staying in a hotel building that seemed to rival five-star establishments in scale.

In fact, the new Campus Hotel built by Mist City Arts and Science University was constructed to a five-star standard. It simply had not been long since its completion and had yet to apply for five-star certification.

"Staying at Mist City Arts and Science University for this year’s National University Sports Games, the environment feels really nice."

"Did you see the sports ground next to us? It looks even more impressive than the venues from the previous University Games."

"The accommodation is so good."

"People from Yancheng University of Technology said the food in the canteen is really tasty."

"How many guys from Yancheng Sports Academy came this year?"

"I heard that Mist City Arts and Science University’s sports are also quite formidable."

"Do you guys know Yang Chen from the National Track and Field Team? He’s actually a student from Mist City Arts and Science University."

"Damn, so Yang Chen is from Mist City Arts and Science University?"

"The accommodation and other facilities are so much better this year; I feel like I can definitely perform exceptionally well, haha."

"I’m definitely giving this year’s University Games high praise."

"We came on the first day and already toured around Mist City Arts and Science University. We even went to see the giant pandas and checked in at several popular spots. This university is really amazing."

"For a private university to be elevated to a national key university, it shows that Mist City Arts and Science University really has something special."

"I heard that after the University Games, Mist City Arts and Science University’s AI robot Big White is going to challenge AlphaGo from Google Company?"

"I heard about this a few days ago, too."

All the participating student athletes who stayed at Mist City Arts and Science University praised the environment highly, whether it was the accommodation, campus environment, or competition venues, which were all better than the previous years’ University Games sites.

Therefore, Mist City Arts and Science University received high praise from the participants during this event.

Evening of May 7th.

Principal Ding Yue even personally visited the Fifth Canteen to talk to his mother, aiming for the food and drink for the competitors and their coaches during the National University Sports Games to be as varied and diverse as possible.

After all, these student athletes from universities all over the country had different dietary habits, and it was crucial to cater to all of them.
