Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
Later that morning .
In the study on the second floor of Old Wu's house .
"Old Wu, I'll be using your computer for a while . "
"Go ahead . "
"You're really not going to the office today?"
"I've already asked for the day off, so I won't be going and will be resting today . "
"Yeah, don't exhaust yourself . Let the people below handle things for now . "
"I'll leave you to whatever you're doing . I'm going out to buy some groceries so that I can whip up something good for you when noon rolls around . "
"Alright, thank you so much . "
Wu Zeqing went back to her bedroom to get changed .
When Old Wu left, Zhang Ye turned on the computer immediately . This was not the computer that Wu Zeqing usually used . That laptop was kept in her bedroom . This computer in the study was just an extra one . Other than the commonly used programs, it was basically clean and did not have much software installed on it .
He connected to the Internet and loaded a web page .
He downloaded a software client from the Online Go Server .
After installing it, Zhang Ye launched it and had a look . The interface was very clean and professional looking . It was worthy of being the country's largest Internet Go server . It was split into many different sections, including the beginner section, the amateur section, the professional section, the practice section, the free play section, and even had an events and tournament mode . Zhang Ye logged on to the server as a guest and found that he could only access the beginner section . So he typed in some information to register an account .
What should he call himself?
Alright, I'll just go with "YE . " This was the romanized spelling of his Chinese name "烨 . "
After he completed the account registration, he managed to gain access to most of the sections in the server .
In the public chat box, there were quite a lot of people "shouting . "
"Someone come to the amateur section!"
"Amateur 5-dan 1 player LF 2 similar level opponent!"
"LF teachers for instruction . "
"LF good player with good connection speed . No handicap!"
"Haha, I've won three in a row and got promoted in rank!"
"There's a live broadcast of a professional match in the afternoon . Who's watching?"
"Not me . Today's match won't be interesting as those two pros are both newcomers, so there's a limit to how good they are . Tomorrow's match between Daqi and Liu Di 7-dan is the match to watch!"
"I have to say, Old Liu is no longer as strong as he was back when . "
"Yeah, he's getting old . "
There were many people online and the server was bustling with activity . The atmosphere in here was also quite good .
. . .
Meanwhile .
Old Wu's parents' house .
After breakfast, Wu Changhe asked his wife, "What did that kid say?"
Li Qinqin said, "What else can he say? If you don't want him to be here, do you think he would come over?"
Wu Changhe harrumphed, "If he ever calls again, don't answer . His character is much too awful!"
"I don't see that at all . " Li Qinqin shook her head .
Wu Changhe scorned, "That's because you don't have enough social experience . Let me tell you this: We mustn't let our daughter mix with him too much . Quickly continue looking for a few more candidates that we can introduce to her . How dare he try those dirty tricks on me? He even dares to sneak up on me while I had my defenses down? Does he take me, Changhe 9-dan, to really be a weakling? He must not know that even I am afraid of myself when I get serious! Just because he beat me once by sneaking up on me, he's getting all arrogant? He even dares to find his way up to my house now to challenge me? Fancy that! How very impulsive! If it weren't for our daughter's sake, I would definitely have made him come over . I would slaughter him in a 10-game match and leave him without a win . Don't you believe me?"
Li Qinqin rolled her eyes . "Whatever you say . "
Wu Changhe stood up and strolled back inside the den . He powered on his computer and said, "Don't disturb me . I'm going online to see if I can find an opponent to play against . "
The computer turned on .
He went online .
Then signed into the Online Go server .
As Wu Changhe was quite old, he wasn't too familiar with operating a computer and was still using " two-fingered typing 3 . "
Li Qinqin brewed a pot of tea for him as usual .
Wu Changhe sipped the tea and hummed a Peking opera tune as he bobbed his head around while searching for players on the server .
All of a sudden, he received a message from someone on his friends' list who probably saw him come online .
Beep beep .
Sun Minqi: "Teacher Changhe, you're online today?"
Wu Changhe hunt-and-peck typed: "Oh, it's Little Sun . "
Sun Minqi: "Are you free now? Could you give me an instructional game?"
Wu Changhe smiled and said: "Sure, I was just looking for an opponent . "
Sun Minqi said excitedly: "I'll wait for you to set up a room then . I'll go look for you there . "
Wu Changhe quickly got a room set up with a password . Other players were allowed to access this room to view the match, but not allowed to play against him . Only the person with the password was allowed to do so . This was what was commonly known as a "private game" on the Internet Go servers . Then he sent the password to Sun Minqi and his opponent joined the game very quickly .
The battle was about to start .
With this matchup, many of the netizens on the server were attracted to the game .
"Wow, Table 288 in Zone 2! Quickly come and see this!"
"It's Changhe 9-dan vs . Sun Minqi 3-dan!"
"A battle of Go pros!"
"Is it an instructional game?
"It's probably a serious match!"
"Is that so? Then we must definitely go over and watch!"
"Changhe 9-dan? A god of the Go world!"
"Yeah, he once stood at the top of the Go world . The current number one and number five players in the World Go Ratings List were both his disciples once!"
Wu Changhe clearly often came online to play Go and had many netizens following his games . When the game began, the netizens received a notification and came over to watch immediately!
The number of viewers soared!
100!
500!
1,000!
There were also a few professional players' accounts that appeared in the viewers list in the room . These players were all the more well-known ones among the currently active professional players!
The Go match began .
Wu Changhe would be playing second as he took the white stones .
Sun Minqi, who took black, would start the play .
This match went by quickly, due to Sun Minqi committing an error that a pro shouldn't have made around the 30th move . Wu Changhe seized on this and pressed him hard . In the end, Sun Minqi was forced to resign midmatch .
The viewers exclaimed endlessly .
"What a beautiful match!"
"Teacher Wu is still as good as ever!"
