"Okay, I understand. After that..."
Ye Chen answered the phone and understood the caller's purpose.
On the other side, in the lounge, there were several chess tables where people could play chess, Go, and other games. Qin Zhongye and several old friends loved Go, and upon seeing the chess tables, their weariness immediately vanished, and they all gathered around them.
Qin Zhongye played chess with a wealthy man, and soon Qin Zhongye defeated the wealthy man.
"I've heard that Mr. Zhu is a highly skilled Go player. Would you be interested in playing a game?"
Qin Zhongye extended an invitation.
Zhu Yeqing is very skilled at Go. He is well-known among the wealthy and influential people in Shanghai. Even many professional Go players have been defeated by Zhu Yeqing.
"Um."
Zhu Yeqing nodded. She was sulking, and now was the perfect time to vent.
Zhu Yeqing and Qin Zhongye played chess. At first, Qin Zhongye was able to handle the game with ease, but later he panicked and realized he was no match for Zhu Yeqing.
"I concede."
A few minutes later, Qin Zhongye resigned and conceded defeat.
Several other Go enthusiasts were also eager to try, and each played against Zhu Yeqing, but unfortunately they all lost. None of them could even last more than 100 moves against Zhu Yeqing.
It's important to know that Go games usually end between 200 and 300 moves, but evenly matched and intense games can go beyond 300 moves.
As a result, these people couldn't even last 100 moves against Zhu Yeqing.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I always thought I was very good at Go, but after seeing Mr. Zhu, I realized that there are always people better than you."
"Mr. Zhu's chess skills are superb, which is admirable."
Everyone sighed, realizing that after the fierce battles just now, no one dared to challenge the Bamboo Leaf Green anymore.
The gloom of losing to Ye Chen twice in a row in Zhu Yeqing's heart was swept away, and she regained her confidence.
"I wonder if Mr. Ye knows Go? Would you like to play a game?"
Zhu Yeqing took the initiative to invite Ye Chen, driven by her competitive spirit and desire to avenge her previous defeat and defeat him once again!
Hearing this, Ye Chen looked up.
"Mr. Ye, would you like to play a round?"
"That's right, let us see Mr. Ye's strength."
Qin Zhongye and the others also hurriedly requested that no one on the scene be able to defeat Zhu Yeqing except for Ye Chen. Considering that Ye Chen had easily defeated Zhu Yeqing on horseback just now, everyone was very much looking forward to the duel between Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing.
"All right."
Ye Chen got up and walked over. The challenge wasn't over yet, and he couldn't leave, so he figured he might as well have another round.
Ye Chen sat down opposite the bamboo leaf green.
"I won't hide it, I'm an 8-dan player on the Go website."
Zhu Yeqing said to Ye Chen.
"Wow, Mr. Zhu is an eighth-dan player on the Go website. No wonder he's so good."
"I accept defeat to an eighth-dan player."
Everyone was astonished to learn of Zhu Yeqing's identity.
Ches.net is a very famous large-scale Go website in China, where many masters gather, and even national-level masters have appeared on Ches.net.
The ranking system on the Go website is divided into nine dan levels, from low to high. Zhu Yeqing is an eighth-dan master on the Go website, which is already very impressive.
It should be noted that there are probably not many 8-dan masters on the entire GoNet. An 8-dan master on the GoNet is already considered to be at the pinnacle of the GoNet, and is a master among masters.
No wonder they lost to Zhuyeqing; they deserved it.
"I won't bully anyone. I can give you a 10-move handicap to show that it's fair."
Zhu Yeqing offered to give Ye Chen a 10-move handicap.
Although she was very competitive and really wanted to beat Ye Chen, she wanted to win fair and square. She had played chess with the others just for fun, but this time she was serious.
"No need. I am a 9-dan player on the Go website. If anyone should give me a handicap, it should be me giving you a 10-move handicap."
Ye Chen answered calmly.
A 9-dan Go player?!
Everyone could hardly believe their ears; they were all utterly shocked.
There are probably very few 9-dan players on the chess website. Those who can become 9-dan players are all national-level masters.
Mr. Ye is a 9-dan Go player, that's terrifying!
"You're a ninth-dan?"
Zhu Yeqing sneered, not believing Ye Chen's words at all.
If Ye Chen said he was also an eighth-dan master, I would believe him, but a ninth-dan? That would be bragging.
There are only a handful of 9-dan players in the entire chess network; they are all national-level masters. Although she is only one dan away from 9-dan, the gap in strength between her and 8-dan is enormous, like an insurmountable chasm. How could Ye Chen, who is so young, possibly be a 9-dan master?
While the others were amazed, they also didn't quite believe Ye Chen's words.
"Neither of us will give in, let's begin."
The bamboo leaf green opens.
"good."
Ye Chen nodded, taking the black pieces and making the first move.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide as they watched the duel between the two players on the chessboard.
Time passed second by second. Although only forty or fifty moves had been made, the difference in their perception of each other was very obvious. The two engaged in a fierce duel from the very beginning, and it was clear that Zhu Yeqing was no match for Mr. Ye.
Everyone was deeply moved. At this moment, they began to believe Ye Chen's words; he really might be a ninth-dan master on the chess website.
Zhu Yeqing's expression also turned serious.
After more than ten minutes, Zhu Ye Qing barely survived 100 moves against Ye Chen, but ultimately lost.
"You... are you really a 9-dan master from the online Go community?"
Zhu Yeqing couldn't help but ask.
"Genuine or genuine."
What's your username on the chess website?
Zhu Yeqing asked again.
"Leaping ahead of the pack."
