Chapter 391 Encountering a Master
After successfully registering the "Qihun" account with the nickname [Gu Qingqingqing], Gu Qingge began her online Go journey.
She was quite excited at the beginning. After all, she had found a new game. Beating others in chess was actually the same feeling as beating others in competitive games. It was very satisfying.
However, the opponents matched with her by the system at the beginning were all relatively weak. They looked like beginners who had just learned the rules of Go and had a basic understanding of the established patterns. For such opponents, Gu Qingge could easily defeat them with just a few moves.
This is probably like a player in the King rank of "Honor of Kings" who starts ranking directly from the Iron rank, so he will naturally kill everyone indiscriminately.
The good thing about Go is that you won't have teammates holding you back. You can reach a rank based on your own strength. If you lose, it's because you're not as skilled as your opponent, and you can't put the blame on others.
Of course, you can still find excuses, such as the network card is broken, the program crashed, etc.
It only took Gu Qingge about three days to raise the rank of this account to Amateur 1. Basically, she could upgrade her amateur level by playing two games.
The "Hikaru no Go" battle platform is quite intelligent, and the ranking matching system is relatively complete. If a master starts a winning streak with a small account, it will quickly increase the hidden points of this account, and then match this account with masters of the same level.
Therefore, even though Gu Qingge's current rank is only amateur 1, her hidden score is actually very high.
With this rank, she can already rank in the "Top of Go" server. Go enthusiasts who can come to this server to compete naturally have higher Go skills, and there are many popular Go anchors among them.
These Go anchors are either retired professional players, or senior Go enthusiasts who have a professional dream, and some Go commentators. Sometimes they play Go themselves, and sometimes they choose OB master players and explain it to the audience.
At this time, the popular Go anchor [Wuhu Sima] was broadcasting live. He is also a well-known retired professional player. He has left famous scenes in the top domestic Go competitions.
Now that he has become a Go anchor, of course he is also very good at creating memes, so every time he starts broadcasting, the popularity of the live broadcast room will be very high.
[Wuhu Sima] When playing Go live, he often makes some cool moves. Relying on his high Go skills, he especially likes to play some risky moves that make the audience's blood pressure so high that no one can guess the final result. When the result comes out, no matter whether he wins or loses, the show effect will be explosive.
At this time, [Wuhu Sima] started another ranked match. His opponent was [Gu Qingqingqing]. He played chess casually while chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room.
The main reason was that he saw that the opponent was only an amateur 1st dan, so he didn't take it seriously at all. However, as he clicked on the opponent's avatar while playing chess and checked his opponent's record, he couldn't help but be shocked!
"Classmates, it seems that we have met a master this time. This girl is definitely a master who uses a small account to reach a higher level. Look at her record, one page is green, and she defeats her opponents in the middle game. This momentum is really powerful!" [Wuhu Sima] said in surprise.
The audience in the live broadcast room also interacted with him——
"Did we encounter a power leveler?"
"I feel like hiring a booster for a Hikaru no Go account is stupid. No matter how high their online rank is, it will be exposed after just one game offline."
"Isn't it just perfect to meet a master? The host is a retired professional player, and he used to be a professional 9th dan. As long as you play seriously, you will be invincible on the platform of Soul of Go!"
"Not necessarily. Nowadays, many young Go players like to use this platform. If they encounter a super genius, the streamer will definitely fail."
"Oh, there's another exciting match to watch! Thanks, streamer!!"
"Classic encounter with a master. This is Sima's old routine. Before the fight, he praises the opponent to the sky. After the fight, he finds that he won easily, so he starts to show off."
"I hope the streamer can be more steady and not lose a few games recklessly. It's embarrassing for a retired professional player to be unable to beat an ordinary Go enthusiast."
…
[Wuhu Sima] was still playing chess and chatting with the audience with a playful smile on his face. He turned on the camera, held a folding fan in his hand, and had wolfberries soaked in his thermos. He had the temperament of an old cadre.
However, as the game progressed, the smile on his face slowly froze. At the beginning, he was still commenting on his opponent, saying that some of his opponent's moves were too unreasonable and irrational. But later in the game, he found that these irrational moves actually worked. Was this a coincidence, or a far-reaching plan?
At this point, the game entered a critical moment. The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, and the situation was unclear.
Suddenly, [Wuhu Sima] had a flash of inspiration, and a chess move appeared in his mind, and then he calculated the subsequent changes.
Yes, it’s a masterstroke.
He was so proud of his clever move that he felt his opponent was about to collapse.
Wuhu Sima opened his folding fan, fanned it, and couldn't help but boast to the livestream audience, "The outcome is decided! I have to admit, this player is quite formidable, probably at least an amateur 5th dan. But his moves are truly bizarre, and feel completely outside the mainstream style. They're just unlucky to have met me."
[Wuhu Sima] issued a declaration of victory.
However, at this moment, Gu Qingge was sitting in front of the computer with a calm expression. When she saw where the other party had placed their bets, she just smiled slightly, as if everything was within her calculations.
She didn't even think for long, but just placed the chess piece in an irrelevant corner according to the calculations in her mind.
[Wuhu Sima] After seeing this move, he once again showed a puzzled expression, why was it placed here?
Is he looking for material to rob?
But there was no robbery!
He didn't quite understand, but he had to respond, so he responded doubtfully.
The opponent's next move amazed [Wuhu Sima]!
As soon as the chess piece was placed, he silently calculated the changes in the game.
It turns out that these two moves are closely related and ingenious.
Wuhu Sima's face was a little embarrassed, his ears suddenly turned red, he was anxious...
He went from being proud and leisurely to being confused, surprised, sad, and finally anxious!
He couldn't help but say, "I was careless this time. I didn't expect the opponent to launch a sneak attack. But it doesn't matter. Although I lost this round, I will win it back next time!"
