Chapter 193, Old Shen takes action! (Subscribe)
Shen Qiushan did not follow Zhou Yuan. As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Lin Xiamo in the exchange student reception group.
This time, the exchange group from Korea is from Seoul National University, which is ranked higher than Samkang University in the QS World University Rankings.
However, Sanjiang University is ranked higher in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Judging from the ranking alone, the strengths of the two universities are comparable.
However, these university rankings are all conducted abroad, and the rankings of domestic universities are relatively low. If we look at the strength of software and hardware, Sanjiang University should actually be leading.
This can be seen from the reactions of the exchange students from Seoul National University after entering Samkang University.
Sanjiang University covers a large area, and the various landscapes and facilities on campus are far superior to their own school in all aspects.
The food in the cafeteria, in particular, made these exchange students dumbfounded.
They were arranged to eat in the faculty and staff cafeteria in a self-service mode.
Watermelon, grapes and other fruits that are very expensive there are free here and you can take as much as you want.
The exchange activities between the students of both sides started after dinner. The exchange students from Seoul University all had round bellies, and it was obvious that they had eaten a lot.
The leader of the other team was a vice president of Seoul University named Kim Jin-gu.
Sanjiang University also provided a reception at an equal level, and the person in charge was Executive Vice President Zhao Changtian.
Lin Xiamo is a member of the reception team.
At this moment, Zhao Changtian, Lin Xiamo and other members of the reception team from Sanjiang University all looked unhappy.
The exchange students from Seoul National University will stay at Samkang University for a week, and the two sides will exchange and discuss many aspects including culture, sports, and academics.
Today is the first exchange day, as both countries are very strong in the field of Go, and Korea attaches great importance to Go.
The theme of this first exchange day was Go.
Sanjiang University notified the Go Club in advance and asked them to prepare well.
As a result, after the two sides fought.
The people from the Go Club actually lost three games in a row, which made Zhao Changtian very depressed. Although this was not a formal competition, the opponents were foreigners after all.
It would be very embarrassing if you lose too badly.
In contrast, the members of the Seoul University exchange group were all in a good mood, and many of them were talking and laughing in low voices.
Shen Qiushan walked straight to Zhao Changtian. He had dealt with this executive vice president twice, and although he was not familiar with him, he knew him.
"Principal Zhao, a small exchange group actually alarmed you."
Shen Qiushan greeted with a smile.
"Xiao Shen, why are you here?"
"Are you here to join in the fun, too?"
Zhao Changtian was quite surprised to see Shen Qiushan appear here.
"I heard there was a Go competition, so I came to watch."
Shen Qiushan replied casually.
"Xiao Shen, do you know Go?"
"I know a little bit."
"Be humble!"
Zhao Changtian shook his head: "You said you won the Nebula Award without making any noise, so you must have achieved great accomplishments in Go, right?"
"Principal Zhao was able to guess this!"
Shen Qiushan did not deny that he was also a member of Sanjiang University and should do his part to defend the school's honor.
If Zhao Hongyu is unable to perform in a while, Shen Qiushan will be ready to leave.
"Wow, you really can do it!"
Zhao Changtian just said it casually, but he didn't expect Shen Qiushan to agree.
"Xiao Shen, who do you think will win this game of chess?"
Zhao Changtian pointed to the electronic screen in front of him.
"As expected, Park Il-seung will win."
Shen Qiushan looked at the situation on the electronic screen and replied.
"ah?"
"Are you saying that Wu Junming will lose this game as well?"
Zhao Changtian frowned. He also knew how to play Go, but his skills were average.
In his opinion, in the current situation, the two sides are evenly matched, and Wu Junming even has a slight advantage.
But Shen Qiushan said that Wu Junming was going to lose again?
That would be 4:0!
"Within ten steps, Wu Junming will suffer a great loss."
Seeing Zhao Changtian's confusion, Shen Qiushan began to explain.
"Ten steps..."
Zhao Changtian didn't quite believe it and felt that Shen Qiushan was exaggerating.
After greeting the executive vice president, Shen Qiushan sat in the empty seat next to Lin Xiamo.
"When did you learn to play Go?"
Lin Xiamo heard the conversation between Shen Qiushan and Zhao Changtian and asked in a low voice.
"Go is not difficult."
"When I opened a shop before, I often played with the owner of the shop next door, so I have some experience."
Shen Qiushan was telling the truth. When he ran a noodle shop before, there was not much business, so he played Go with the owner of the shop next door.
The opponent was a senior Go enthusiast, but his level was relatively low, and Shen Qiushan was able to play against him quite well.
However, the two of them are just pure noobs fighting each other.
But the experience is real.
However, Shen Qiushan’s current level was given by the system and had nothing to do with his previous experience.
When these two people were talking.
On the chessboard, the originally evenly matched situation changed.
Park Il-seung had been planning for a long time, and now it was finally time to reap the rewards.
As soon as he placed a chess piece, Wu Junming's nine chess pieces had no way to retreat.
Wu Junming, who had originally looked calm, suddenly had his eyes wide open. He was quite confident in this round, but ended up falling into a passive position again.
Zhao Changtian's eyes narrowed, and he quickly turned to look at Shen Qiushan: "Xiao Shen, you are right."
"Seven steps!"
"Wu Junming is going to lose."
Shen Qiushan shrugged lightly: "The opponent made two pockets, one in the open and one in the dark. Wu Junming only saw the one in the open."
Seeing that 9 of his pieces were about to be eaten, Wu Junming was very unwilling to accept this. He tried his best to save the situation and made two "bad moves" in succession.
Shen Qiushan shook his head gently. This time there was no hope.
Whether you are playing Go or chess, you must learn to "sacrifice pieces".
Take charge of the overall situation and don't worry about the gains and losses of a single city or place.
Soon, Wu Junming was defeated again.
4:0!!
The exchange students from Seoul National University cheered.
The students of the school who were sitting in the classroom watching the fun all frowned.
Some people even complained quietly.
"The people in the Go Club are so bad!"
"We were beaten 4:0 by the Basques! How shameful!"
"Is there no more masters in our school?"
"When I see the faces of the Koreans, I get angry!"
Wu Junming stepped down from the chessboard with a look of despair on his face.
As the president of the Go Club, he lost two games in a row, especially with so many school leaders present, which was really embarrassing.
But losing is losing, there’s nothing he can do!
Moreover, Wu Junming had some advantages at the beginning of two consecutive games, but was reversed later. His mentality was a little broken.
Next.
Both sides made substitutions.
Zhao Hongyu walked onto the chess table, and the person playing against him turned out to be a girl named Kim Eun-jung.
I don’t know if it’s because of technology, but the other person has a high nose bridge, big eyes, and an overall good appearance.
Zhao Hongyu didn't expect that his opponent was a girl, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
He thought that even if he won, there would be nothing to brag about.
It’s just winning over a girl!
This mentality made him underestimate his opponent, so that he fell into a disadvantage from the start.
Zhou Yuan, who was broadcasting live, frowned and couldn't help but silently complain in his heart: Didn't he say he was an amateur sixth dan?
Why does it look so bad?
Feng Sicong and Bao Beibei are both newbies at Go, and they were still whispering to each other.
"Do you think Lao Zhao can win?"
"It looks like he has it all figured out!"
"You've already boasted so much, don't let Madoka-senpai down."
"Why does Lao Zhao look so miserable? Did he eat something bad?"
"Is it possible that you can't beat that female stickman?"
“…”
10 minutes later.
Zhao Hongyu admitted defeat immediately.
Because he underestimated his opponent at the beginning, he was constantly being beaten and had no chance to fight back. If he continued, he would only lose even more miserably, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
5:0!!!
The exchange students from Seoul University cheered again.
Jin Zhen-gu, the leader of the exchange group, had a big smile on his face. He stood up and walked to Zhao Changtian's side. He said in Chinese: "Principal Zhao, let's stop here with the students' exchange. Are there any teachers in your school who are good at Go?"
“Our teachers can communicate with each other!”
Apparently, Jin Jin-gu felt that competitions between students were not challenging enough.
It’s already 5:0!
There was no point in continuing the competition, he wanted to defeat Sanjiang University in all aspects.
From student to teacher!
The reason why Kim Jin-gu is so confident is that there is a professional player Park Guk-chang in their exchange group.
Although he is not well-known internationally, he still has some outstanding performances in the Korean domestic league.
Park Il-seong and Kim Eun-jung who just competed are both his disciples, one is a professional third dan and the other is a professional fourth dan.
While studying at Seoul University, he often participated in national Go competitions.
In comparison, Wu Junming and Zhao Hongyu were both only amateurs, so it was not surprising that they lost to each other.
However, no one at Samgang University knew that there were students with professional ranks in the exchange group from Seoul University.
"Can!"
Zhao Changtian nodded, then waved to Shen Qiushan: “Xiao Shen, is it okay for you to go up?”
"No problem!"
Shen Qiushan shrugged with a relaxed look on his face.
"Xiao Shen, you saw it too."
"We are down 0:5 now, you better win one or two sets so it won't be too bad."
Zhao Changtian whispered to him that although he didn't know how good Shen Qiushan was, in the current situation, he could only try his best.
If Shen Qiushan is no longer capable, there is no need to continue today's Go exchange.
So shameful!
Although it was just an ordinary exchange and competition, if they couldn't win a single game, the Koreans would definitely max out their taunt value in their usual style.
Zhao Hongyu originally came here with the mentality of showing off himself, but ended up getting hit hard.
He wanted to play one more game, at least to tie the score to 1:1.
But I was told that the students' competition had ended.
Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to walk down the chessboard in disgrace. The first attempt of this introverted young man to show off his prowess in public was declared a failure.
"Hey, Old Shen!"
"Why did Uncle Shen get on?"
Feng Sicong and Bao Beibei originally wanted to comfort Zhao Hongyu, but they found that Shen Qiushan walked onto the chessboard.
Seeing Shen Qiushan go into battle, the students who came to watch the fun immediately started talking.
