Chapter 4 Down Go also has smashing scenes

  Kai Bamboo Chess Club

  It was Wen Tao's aunt's husband Hu Kai Zhu who opened it. The location of the Kai Zhu Chess Club is also quite good, a 5A-level office building in the downtown area, with an entire half floor dedicated to the Kai Zhu Chess Club. Wen Tao only looked it up after deciding to go, and although Hu Kai Zhu himself was only a professional third dan, the Kai Zhu Chess Club was still quite famous.

  One reason is his love for Go, and the other is that his children have been successful in their careers abroad. He opened a Go club not for profit. Because Hu Kaiyu didn't seek to make a profit, he had extensive social connections, and spent all his money on cultivating new talent, making friends, helping others, and inviting people, which is how Kaizhu Go Club achieved its current success.

  Although it's in an office building, just coming out of the elevator and turning left, what I saw was indeed a classical style, with square frames and round doors, each side of the door frame having black and white chess pieces on top with words.

  Left: Affairs of the world are like a game of chess, one move decides the outcome for eternity.

  Right: Gentle emotions are like water, when will they flow away with the spring breeze of the six dynasties?

  Just this one encounter, Wen Tao's impression of his maternal uncle Hu Kai Zhu, whom he had only spent a few days with, increased by several points. Amidst the noise, he found tranquility; amidst the commotion, he found leisure; amidst modernity, he found ancient charm without losing himself to trends or falling into clichés. Great!!

  It was strange that when he entered the door, he found that the woman who should have been standing in front of the chessboard was facing away from him and peeking inside the screen.

  Lazy, unlike, something happened inside, it's lively!!

  "Dang, dang..." Wen Tao lightly tapped the black and white chessboard at the front desk, on which a fixed inlaid chess piece was placed, setting up an ancient chess formation.

  "......Hello......" A 23 or 24-year-old girl with a delicate appearance turned around, paused for a moment and said somewhat flusteredly: "Is it for chess or semester? If you're a member, please show your membership card."

  Looking at her slightly flustered, Wen Taotao smiled faintly: "I'm not a student, I'm here to find someone, your boss."

  Wen Tao's simple and honest smile had a calming effect, making the girl who was initially flustered suddenly feel much calmer. His simplicity and sincerity made people feel at ease, giving off a down-to-earth feeling that left a good impression on their first meeting.

  "Boss..." The girl looked embarrassed: "He's probably busy right now and doesn't have time to see you, or would you like to wait for a while in the rest room next door? I'll let him know as soon as he has some time."

  Behind the screen is the hall, which can be seen from the corners on both sides. The hall behind the screen should be partitioned, but now it's all empty. At least, what Wentai saw from the angle exposed by the screen was that there wasn't a single person in sight. Adding to the girl's appearance earlier, Wentai already had an idea.

  "What's going on inside?"

  Wen Tao's simple and honest appearance played a big role. The girl looked at Wen Tao again, then whispered: "Someone came to our door to challenge us, wanting to smash the Kai Zhu Qi She's venue."

  "Hmm... Wén Tāo was stunned for a moment, smashing the scene, and Kǎi Zhú wasn't a martial arts hall either. But thinking again, he immediately understood that a martial arts hall smashing the scene relies on fists and feet, while a chess society smashing the scene is naturally about Go, which is equally effective."

  "Oh!" Wentao nodded and asked again: "What kind of people are they? What's the situation inside now?"

  The girl shook her head and said, "I'm not clear either, but they've come several times before. Recently, our boss has been sighing all the time. Hearing others talk, it seems that even the masters in the teahouse can't calm down. The situation shouldn't be very good, right?"

  Wen Tao's uncle is in trouble!! Wen Tao loves Go, but he himself isn't quite sure what level he's at. He used to play with Gu Han's teacher, and later online, where he needs to control himself, and in reality, he only played once with Hu Kai Zhu, his uncle-in-law. However, in the online Go community, Wen Tao is a super master of ancient Go, and recently people have been studying what would happen if he were to play against professional super masters, even though he's been intentionally holding back.

  Because his chess style is a kind of ancient chess style that does not exist now, so excluding him as a professional chess player in reality, countless people think that he will be the first person to truly challenge top professional chess players after the birth of online Go.

  "May I go in and take a look?" Seeing that the girl didn't know much, Wentao pointed inside again, revealing that simple and trustworthy smile that made people feel at ease.

  "It's okay, but don't make a sound."

  "Thank you, no problem," he smiled and nodded in response, as Wentao stepped inside.

  Inside, the space is quite spacious, with small private rooms separated by bamboo on both sides. Inside, there are seats, chessboards and unfinished games, but in an area of at least over a hundred square meters, not a single person can be seen. Faintly audible from the round doorway ahead, there are sounds of people arguing and talking loudly, a rare occurrence in a chess club.

  At first, I followed Gu Han's master for a period of time, one of the reasons was to cultivate my heart.

  Inside the entrance, there is a space of over 30 square meters. In front, there is a projector, and on both sides, there are two 60-inch LCD wall-mounted TVs. On the TVs, you can see the images of two people, with every move, even the blinking of their eyes. The projector in the middle displays a chessboard.

  The place was already packed with dozens of people standing there watching the game, and Wentai quickly found Hu Kaiju among them. He was sitting in the front row with a few others, and Wentai also recognized the people around him at a glance. When searching for information about Huaiju Chess Club online, there were introductions to these people on top. If it were just Hu Kaiju alone, perhaps not many people would be willing to come to this chess club. These people were all high-level players invited by him.

  Looking at the screen again, the one who was competing was actually the number one master of Kai Zhu Qi She, Wang Zhi Lin, 8th dan. He originally just had his name listed in Kai Zhu Qi She and it was already very good that he came to give a lecture once or twice a year, all because of his private relationship with Hu Kai Zhu, but unexpectedly today he was the one playing chess, and his opponent was a young man.

  He looks handsome, wearing a famous brand suit, full of murderous aura on the chessboard. The style of play is as fierce as his appearance. Looking at this person's appearance, he is only a few years older than himself, but Go is an industry that requires both talent and hard work. Without talent, no matter how hard you try, it's useless, so there's a saying that if you're not a national master by the age of 20, you have no hope for life. Of course, this hopelessness refers more to the hopelessness of reaching the top.

  Who this guy is, Wentai isn't quite clear. He plays chess purely out of interest and enjoyment. More often than not, he's demonstrating the things left behind by his master Guhan, trying to gain some insight from them. So, regarding this person who claims to be a super genius in both martial arts and Go, he doesn't know much about him.

  Of course, even if he knew who he was, it didn't matter to Wén Tāo.

  Looking at them, they should be competing in a quiet room. Wang Zhilin, a former national top ten player, is now sweating profusely. After all, he is over 60 years old, and time is not forgiving. Under the double pressure of his opponent's offensive momentum, he made several minor mistakes in a row.

  In a situation where the gap is not too big, a slight mistake can be the key to winning or losing. Wang Zhilin himself already knows that he has lost. If it were fifteen years ago, he might still have had a chance to compete with this young man, but now... continuing to play would only lead to an even more miserable defeat.

  Just as he was about to admit defeat, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind. Wang Zhilin, an old and experienced man, was shocked beyond measure, his eyes looking around in confusion. How is this possible? He didn't have any devices on him, there were only two people here, and what's even stranger was that the voice was echoing in his mind.

  Kong Jie saw Wang Zhilin suddenly looking around, with a strange expression on his face, and he was very curious. What's wrong with this old man? Kong Jie, the 17-year-old national youth Go champion, became a national player at 19 and is now only 25 years old, already a professional 7-dan player. He has won many domestic and international championships, and his current goal is to unify the domestic Go world, with his ultimate goal aimed at Korea and Japan.

  Wen Tao looked at Wang Zhilin's weird expression on the screen and thought to himself, "You'd be surprised if you could see me," then immediately told him, "Play chess well."

  At this time, Wen Tao was using the Eight Sound Soul Shaking Flute to communicate with Wang Zhilin, treating this super treasure as a live phone call in his brain, and only Wen Tao could do it.

  The Eight Sounds Soul Shaking Flute was a treasure left behind by the ancient Cold Master, and it was an extremely top-notch treasure in the Cultivation Realm. It was an attack-type treasure that targeted one's soul. Even if it appeared in the Cultivation Realm, it would still stir up bloody storms and killings. If those people from the Cultivation Realm knew how Wentai used the Eight Sounds Soul Shaking Flute, they would all have the urge to kill him first. Those who had died for the flute would also come back to life out of anger.

  After Wang Zhilin's strange expression, he made a move that was beyond Kong Jie's expectations, and what surprised Kong Jie even more was what followed. This old man, who had clearly run out of physical strength, was making moves at a speed that was even faster than his own, and his chess style had completely changed, becoming... unrecognizable to himself.

  Wang Zhilin's chess, Kong Jie had studied early on, but he lost his advantage in the middle game and unexpectedly used a very ancient-style chess to start again with himself. Without any defense, Kong Jie was also disrupted and what made him even more surprised was that Wang Zhilin, who was originally about to collapse, easily stunned him.

  Kong Jie was shocked in his heart, the chess pieces were disordered, and the people outside exclaimed, with all kinds of discussions going on. In the end, Wang Zhilin won narrowly.

  "I'm impressed, I didn't think you still had such a move up your sleeve. I'll come back in three days to learn from you again." Kong Jie stood up and saw Hu Kai Zhu and the others rushing in, his face cold and stern: "I didn't expect this small chess club of yours to be hiding dragons and tigers, next time we'll have a decisive battle and I'll learn more high-level moves."

  Kong Jie was so clever that he had already guessed eight or nine out of ten, and the next move was not made by Wang Zhilin. Kong Jie took it as Hu Kaitu having long been prepared to have someone secretly follow Wang Zhilin to fight against himself, making Wang Zhilin's old face flush with embarrassment, while Hu Kaitu was left bewildered.
