Chapter 415 [The World Calamity]

In the summer of 2012, the end of the world did not come. The hot flashes were still unbearable. Even the air seemed to have the smell of a sauna. Men were wearing trousers as always, covering their legs until they turned white; women were wearing less and less than last year. Even professional women like office ol, white-collar workers or gold-collar workers, the materials used for skirts were less and less. While showing a pair of slenderness, they better highlight the healthy theme of "advocating low-carbon life".

This summer is a bit salty.

Yau Ma Tei is next to Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok. Anyone who loves to watch Hong Kong movies and TV series knows that the quality of this area is the most complex. It is usually a place where Hong Kong's "little citizens" gather together. The prices are cheap and the living style remains the same. It is a good place to experience the original style of Hong Kong and a place where successful people disdain to live.

Sitting in a tea restaurant outside the apartment, Zhou Yi tasted the famous stockings milk tea and cream pineapple buns in Xiangjiang with great interest, enjoying the feeling of the fragrant and smooth milk flowing slowly in the esophagus. Liuxu seemed to have no appetite today. She only drank half a cup of iced lemon tea, and lazily trapped herself in the inhaled chair of this tea restaurant. She looked at Zhou Yi with a blurry look, not sure whether she was savoring the passion last night or appreciating his meal. Xiaoyezi held a plate of egg tarts, and her mouth was full of fragrance, but she was very confused in her eyes. Yesterday, she just turned on the TV. Uncle Zhou hugged her and kissed her. When her fingers were scratching her head, she fell asleep. As soon as she woke up, the aunt seemed to have changed her face, her face was like a red apple, and she looked like a smurf who looked like a witch...

Children in this era are very precocious, but they are only familiar with the surface, and they still understand certain things, and the same is true for Xiao Yezi. They only feel that Aunt and Uncle Zhou are a little strange.

"Liuxiu, why do you live here? Did the Li family arrange it?"

Zhou Yi was somewhat dissatisfied. Yau Ma Tei is the most "lowest" area in the Yau Tsim Mong area, just like the Zhabei shantytown in the old magic capital. After returning, it was still gangsters and the buildings were fragrant. Among the old residential buildings that looked like pigeon cages, there were many ji women who were playing the law against the edge of the law. He could not imagine that the apartment arranged by Li Jucheng for Liu Xu was actually in this area.

At this time when I was drinking tea, there were two fights outside. There were seven or eight "phoenix women" dressed in black fishing net stockings and dressed up in colorful clothes. One of them blinked at himself through the glass, which was clearly **.

"No, don't get me wrong with my cousin." Liu Xu smiled and said, "Originally, my aunt asked me to live in the middle of the mountain. I took the initiative to ask for the dock company, so I applied for an apartment near Yau Ma Tei. You know, there was a dock strike some time ago. In fact, money was just a factor, and it was more because the workers did not have a sense of belonging. I investigated that many worker leaders lived near Yau Ma Tei, and I wanted to know them..."

"You are working hard enough, what a hard work?"

Zhou Yi frowned. Women's desperate efforts usually mean that men are incompetent. He doesn't want his woman to continue living in such a dangerous place: "Don't do the work at the dock? Come back with me."

"good!"

Liu Xu agreed very simply, and it made Zhou Yi a little strange. She once insisted that she wanted to create her own career. She was unwilling to be a little woman behind a man, but now she is even younger than a little woman.

Is it because women change quickly, or is their charm improving again? Zhou Yi is more willing to believe that it is the latter, just like all the narcissistic big men in the world...

Yau Ma Tei connects Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, which is the most chaotic area in Hong Kong and one of the most lively areas. There are many shops and a mixture of various religions. However, to understand the most original Hong Kong, you must visit. Zhou Yi called Chen De of the Go Branch and agreed to go to the Xiangjiang Sports Center in the afternoon to report, so that he would accompany Liuxiao and Xiaoyezi for the whole morning.

Just like the performance on TV, the Yau Tsim Mong area is prosperous, with electrical appliances, clothing, food, gold and diamonds... When entering the Yau Tsim Mong area, it is like diving into Taobao. What you can think of can be found here.

After turning around, Xiao Yezi held a bag of butter corn kernels in his left hand and a piece of cheesecake in his right hand. A long-lived golden lock that Zhou Yi had just bought for her was hung around his neck. He wore a red tourist hat with the 'Xiangjiang Welcome' on his head, and he looked like a qualified little tourist. Liu Xu was not empty-handed, and carried a bird cage half a person tall, with more than a dozen magpies chirping in it. It was strange that in the flower and bird market, she and Zhou Yi fell in love with the cage magpies at a glance, and they collided with each other and hit the car.

Although the last day has not been decided, the good things of the two can be calculated based on their fingers. Liu Xu's heart is full of happiness, and it is great to have a love life.

The time to go shopping was the fastest. Before noon, Zhou Yi directly put on a flat car that he had temporarily borrowed from the Li family, took Liuxu and Xiaoyezi to Xiangjiang Ocean Park, ate seafood nearby and entered the hospital for fun, and played until the afternoon... About the next, Xiaoyezi, who had watched all kinds of performances and played all kinds of water games, finally couldn't hold on anymore, so Liuxu drove her back to the old house of the Li family. Zhou Yi called a taxi and went straight to Xiangjiang Sports Center.

The Yingshi Cup was established by Taiwanese businessman Ying Wanying. It is held every three years and takes turns to compete in Baodao, Xiangjiang, Magic City, etc. Because the championship prize is as high as 400,000 US dollars, it not only attracts Go experts from China, island countries and the South Baseball Club, but also in Europe and even Africa, even underdeveloped Go areas like Europe and Africa, although they play soy sauce every time, they play without regrets.

The first Yingshi Cup was the old man who took the initiative to invite famous Go players from all over the country, so it was called the "Yingshi Cup Invitational Tournament". However, later, the high prize money attracted all kinds of experts, and it simply became a selection or recommendation of experts from various countries and regions to participate in the competition. The Yingshi Cup became a championship. All the participants were the world's top players, and they were already a first-class world Go event.

Moreover, compared with previous sessions, this Yingshi Cup invitational tournament is even more unique. It is said that Mr. Ying Wanying has been in poor health since the New Year, and it is probably not too long since. For this reason, his eldest son Ying Baizhi has specially increased the prize money for this game and wants to make this Yingshi Cup the most solemn event in history.

The number of places in this Yingshi Cup has also increased from 16 people in the previous session to 24 people. In addition to the last quarter-finals, the last quarter-finals were seed players, there were five places in China, four places in the island country, three places in the South Baseball, two places in Taiwan, one place in the Americas and one place in Europe. Zhou Yi has also caught up. If it weren't for the last quarter-finals, China only occupied two places in China, and this time there were five ordinary places, even if Chen De wanted him to participate, he would be in a dilemma because there were not enough places. After all, there were hundreds of high-level players on the Chinese Go alone, and no one was a vegetarian. In the case of tight quotas, Zhou Yi was directly parachuted to the Yingshi Cup in his first stage of his career, and everyone would inevitably have opinions.

Before returning, Xiangjiang was a region that valued sports. Even after returning, he was qualified to participate in the Olympics as a regional event and Asian Games. Therefore, the sports center is very large and is not much inferior to the sports center in Kyoto, China.

After entering the sports center, Zhou Yi was also a little confused. He was about to call Chen De and the others, but suddenly he saw Nie Xiaochun coming out of the elevator with a blushing face, pointing at him and smiling: "Brother Zhou, you are late, you must be punished for drinking tonight!"

Chess players are good at wine, and this trend has been passed down from the island country. When it comes to the chess players in China and South Bang, it is especially well-known for their wine and sex. Before the game, they played music and sat down, while he was drinking to get beautiful women. The more mellow the wine, the more beautiful the beauty, the better his performance the next day. Otherwise, it would be called the "demon sword", which is really a monster...

"Old Chen and the others are saying hello on the side of the Nanjiao. They are especially asking me to pick you up. Let me go, Brother Zhou, I will introduce you to a few experts from the Nanjiao. These guys are not simple. If you meet them on the court, you must be careful."

Zhou Yi did not show his murderous intention in the games he talked about at the Huaxia Chess Academy. After all, he wanted to participate in the Yingshi Cup. If he won too badly, he would easily affect his condition, so he would not be kind. When playing chess with Nie Xiaochun and others, Zhou Yi didn't care much about winning or losing. He spent most of his time thinking about the "chess way" of all the experts. The calculation ability of these Go may not be as good as his, but he has a unique understanding of the chess way, such as Cao Yuan's Thunder Killing, Nie Xiaochun's Ethereal Demon Sword, Gu Li's Skinny Chess... Although these masters are a little far from the chess road, they can give him a lot of insights.

In this "learning" state, although Zhou Yi showed amazing computing power, he gave people a feeling that his state was not stable and his chess style was changing. Even Chen De did not expect him to win the championship in the Yingshi Cup, but just hoped that he could get experience in this competition. Go is not chess after all, and it is impossible to conquer the world by relying on computing power alone.

After hearing Nie Xiaochun's words, Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said nothing. When he was in the Go branch, he only focused on chess and looked at the winner and loser indifferently, but he looked down upon him.

Players from all over the world who participated in the Yingshi Cup were arranged on the ninth floor, which is also the special floor arranged for Go players over the years. Because nine is the extreme, it implies the meaning of "Tianyuan". In addition, in ancient times, national players were divided into nine levels, and now national players were divided into nine dans, and they were all destined to be with nine, so the players on this floor also liked it.

Zhou Yi was the first time he came into contact with the Go circle. He followed Nie Xiaochun to Room 903 with some curiosity. As soon as he knocked on the door, he was not tall and had a small eye. He opened the door and nodded to Nie Xiaochun, but said in a Korean-style Chinese language: "You are Zhou Chuduan, I am Li Jieshi, welcome you."

"Xiao Li?" Although Zhou Yi didn't know much about the Go world and had heard of the names of Korean Li, he didn't expect that this former newcomer in the Korean chess world, the top master who ranked first in the professional players in South Korea last year, was so approachable.

Zhou Yi has a good impression of him. First of all, he has not had plastic surgery, he is generous and has a gentle temperament. However, unlike Korean Go, who is working hard everywhere, he is worthy of being a great person.

"Haha, how are Lao Gu and Da Li doing? I have put two thousand yuan on him..."

Nie Xiaochun patted Li Jieshi on the shoulder and took Zhou Yi into the room.

There were seven or eight chess players in the room. Cao Yuan, who Zhou Yi knew, was there, and Maomao and others. There were also several chess players in the Korean side, both old and middle-aged. Seeing Nie Xiaochun coming with Zhou Yi, Maomao waved to him repeatedly: "Brother Zhou, come and have a look. Can Gu Li win this game?" Several Korean chess players raised their heads when they heard Zhou Yi's name and smiled kindly at him.

The circle of chess players is so big. They make friends with chess, no distinction between countries. In and outside the board, there is no country hates national hatred. There is only a common exploration of the chess path. The players of the China Island Country and South Korea are friends. Today, the chess players of the island country did not come to the party, nor were they excluded by China South Korea. Instead, the people of the island country like to close their eyes and meditate before encountering a game. They usually only see these guys holding the island country sake and singing the spring of the North.

The confrontation between Zhou Yi and Ultimate Computer did not attract the attention of island countries and Korean chess players. It was mainly because Miss Gu joined, and many TV stations handled it in a low-key manner. The news media also received some warnings from relevant departments and requests from the Huaxia Chess Academy. The Huaxia Go Branch did not want Zhou Yi to be paid attention to the outside world too early.

However, he participated in top events like the Yingshi Cup as the first stage of his career, which still surprised the island countries and the Korean chess world. But this is not too strange. The current professional competition is in high intensity and heavy tasks. Many players at low stages are not interested in participating in the advanced stages. Many of them have reached the high stage, but they still have a low stage name. The most typical example is Lee Jieshi. This guy not only became the Korean Go champion with his initial stages, but he has only been in the seventh stage until now...

Zhou Yi has no record of participating in professional chess competitions, and it is another early stage, so in the eyes of chess players in the island country and South Korea, this should be the rising star and key training target of China. The Chinese Chess Academy will recommend him to come, and he should be committed to training, but not to get any ranking. After all, there are two "seed players" Nie Xiaochun and Gu Li, and there are several generals who are in charge of the formation. China doesn't care about wasting a place.

After looking at the Korean chess player opposite Gu Li, Zhou Yi felt familiar, but he couldn't recognize who he was for a moment, so he asked quietly like Mao Yu. A beautiful chess player like Mao Yu is average in his grades but has good popularity. He often cooperates with the five sets of ccav to talk about chess, and there are no chess players from all over the country who don't know.

"You don't even know him?"

Mao Yu widened his eyes and lowered his voice: "Stone Buddha!"

"Stone Buddha?"

Did you actually meet Shi Buddha here? Compared to the current Korean Go number one Li Jieshi, this person is the real number one in the world. He ruled the world chess world for fifteen years from the mid-1990s to 2010! When he was most glorious, he almost captured more than a dozen world champions such as Samsung, Yingshi, and the Three Kingdoms arena. He is a mountain that is pressing on the hands of Chinese chess players and the "hard hands" of chess players all over the world!

The stone Buddha at its peak was completely flawless. It had a good overall view, a mid-range player with both offense and defense, an official who could not miss it, and a super computer-like computing power... The stone Buddha at that time had no shortcomings, and was not a human, a god, or a Buddha! In the era of the stone Buddha, only Ma Weiping, who was known as the "Top thirty hands in the world", could suppress him a little, but once he passed the thirty hands, Master Ma could only collapse.

As he got older, he got married and had children, Shi Buddha also moved his heart. His achievements in recent years were not as good as before, but his achievements were second only to the true god in the history of Go - Mr. Wu Qingyuan, who swept through the island countries in his thirties and was respected as the true god by chess players all over the world.

Zhou Yi was actually a little excited. It was not because of Shi Buddha's brilliant record, but because he was able to meet this "giant" who once dominated the world Go in the Yingshi Cup, which would definitely be of great help to him in searching for chess. I wonder if he would have the chance to talk to him about a game?

Yingshi Cup is a lottery elimination system, and Shifo Lee Chang-ho is a seed player in the last quarter-finals. Zhou Yi cannot encounter him in the first round. After entering the second round of the game, whether he can meet him depends on the result of the lottery. Of course, this refers to the general situation. If Zhou Yi is willing to cheat, there will be more opportunities.

Gu Li and Lee Chang-ho are old enemies and good friends. They are not good at drinking, so after lunch, the two clear-headed masters decided to talk to each other. After all, the world Go has entered the era of heroes competing for hegemony, and the two former rulers were not able to play chess just by wanting to play chess. Even if they come to Yingshi Cup together, they may not be able to meet this opportunity. This opportunity is rare.

At the beginning of the game, there are almost no ones who don’t have lottery. The two of them have a lottery ticket with a score of 500 yuan. According to the rules of the Yingshi Cup, this lottery ticket sounds big, but in fact, the winners and losers between masters like them are often half a eye and one son. If there are three or five eyes, it is called a big victory and loss, so this lottery ticket has the meaning.

However, there are more foreign games. People like Nie Xiaochun bets four or five hundred, and the more than five or six thousand, even Maomao bets 1,500 yuan. The little girl has limited chess skills and can't get any game bonuses in normal times. She lives a lot of life. She is nervous than anyone else, because she is afraid that Gu Li will lose to Shi Fo if she is not good.

"Let me see...well, it's a chess game, and it's very fiercely killed."

It is the middle stage. The black and white sides on the chessboard occupy two corners and two sides. Moreover, a black dragon and a white dragon in the middle are strangling fiercely. You have me and I have you. The situation is extremely chaotic. No wonder Maomao said he couldn't see clearly. Not to mention her, even Nie Xiaochun, who is known as the new generation of chess saint, was dazzled and stood behind Gu Li with his cheeks on his back.

Zhou Yi knew at a glance that this was because of the informal competition, and the two masters were also relaxed in their mentality, so they launched a fierce confrontation from the layout stage, which continued to the mid-stage. The two were already almost the same strength and were in a mess. Not to mention the bystanders, I am afraid they might not have calculated it very clearly. Now they have used almost the same time, and they are fighting for feelings and experience.

"Good chess..."

With Zhou Yi's terrifying calculation power, he also looked at it for five minutes, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he shouted in his heart: "It's actually a disaster in the world!"
