Galactic Garbage Station Chapter 375 Moving Mountains

Su Jing immediately played his second move and placed his piece at 17 creating a 16-17 [Komoku (small eye)], and the opponent dropped his piece at the parallel corner of the 4. Both of them played the game quickly and made more than twenty moves within a minute. The layout of the two players was stable.
The spectators couldn't help but chat fiercely:

“This newcomer has played well, at least his layout is good. This newcomer seems to be a learned person.”

“However, he placed some of his pieces at places that don't follow the stereotype, he doesn't seem like a newcomer.”

“Maybe he is placing his pieces randomly to for mixed formate instead of a fixed format. Some newcomers always think they are amazing.”

The so-called fixed formats are played by chess player of ancient and modern times, after many times of playing Go, people have gradually formed some well-known and relatively proper formats, which are commonly known as “Starting Style”. Those who don't follow the set pattern, except for the top experts, are the self-righteous newcomers.

“Huh?” In a rather elegant study, an elegant old man who was holding the mouse and playing QQ Go suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and murmured, “This guy, instead of taking the stereotype route, he is improvising and he is using a very old method.”

At first, he thought that this was a novice, and he probably couldn't remember the definite way. However, as the piece gradually dropped on the board, he found that the opponent's ability to parry his moves was very strong, and it was even easy for the opponent to resolve his attack. This was not a novice at all.

And, seeing his opponent's same “Indeterminate form” again, he suddenly realized that it was an old form that had been gradually abandoned. For example, there has just been a move, according to the modern way, he should have used the “Pull” (when the pieces on the board are stacked side by side and close to each other, on the other side of the pieces on the head), this is obviously more effective. The opponent, however, uses the “Long” (a move that stretches forward against the pieces he already has on the board).

However, as he moved to attack by seeing this seemingly opportunistic move, he found that the opponent's defense was impeccable, and even when he was defending, he also took the offense and did not panic.

“Good guy, it was my mistake to look down on you.” The old gentleman sat up straight and focused on the game, at first, when he saw that the opponent's record of the match win was zero. He thought of playing just to pa.s.s the time, but now he can only give up that idea and deal with it carefully. The opponent's Go Level may not be as high as his own, but it is not far behind and it is at least beyond the scope where he could give any advice.

The two people continued to play and the number of Go pieces on the board gradually increased. Su Jing played Go at the same speed. However, the elegant old man is slower and slower. His calm face gradually disappears.

“What's going on, Old Song seems to be getting suppressed?”

“How is this possible, how can such an unknown kid suppress Old Song?”

“That is, Old Song almost became a professional chess player. No one can beat him as a non-professional player. I think that Old Song is playing while directing the situation and guiding the opponent and he is still controlling the situation and we just don't understand it.”

“No, Old Song is really getting suppressed.” A fellow player named” Heavenly Star said.

“No way.”

“No way.”

“No way.”

All of them expressed their surprise but they seemed to be very convinced of this “Heavenly Star”, so no one refuted.

The old gentleman thought for a long time and finally made a move again.

Su Jing still doesn't seem to think and made a move almost immediately.

The old gentleman found that the discreet Go pieces played by the opponent before him became a sharp blade that created a blood path between his Go pieces and his obvious moves become a s.h.i.+eld, blocking all of his attacks. The seemingly ordinary Go piece played a huge role. The attacking momentum was like a row of mountains and rivers, forcing him to retreat step by step, leaving only a force of parry.

“3-15, seal!”
Su Jing did not even think about it and dropped a piece.

The old gentleman froze, then suddenly stared at the board, petrified. There are still Go pieces to play, but there was no point in playing anymore and he knows that he had lost completely and he doesn't need to count. This feeling of being completely blocked and crushed is stronger than when he played against a Professional 4th Dan Go player. The old man sighed and gave up. (Professional Rankings- 1st Dan to 9th Dan)

“Old Song actually gave up!”

“Heavenly Star is right, Old Song was really suppressed.”

“Isn't there a way, why did Old Song give up so quickly?”
“No, the pieces of Old Song has been blocked. I think this man has already locked the game and even me and Old Song can't find a way around it. Old Song, let me play the next game against him.” Heavenly Star replies.

“Okay,” Song Xueru, the old gentleman replied.

So Song Xueru quit and Heavenly Star joined and played against Su Jing. Su Jing didn't mind changing his opponent and still fought. He felt that he had a good theory and could not make good use of it, he is not even performing 1% of the methods he found in the Chinese Chess Cultivation book.

It didn't take long for Su Jing to win again, and Heavenly Star was defeated.

Then, the news spread among the group of chess friends and some communities and the chess player challenged Su Jing on by one but they were defeated by Su Jing, and the more Su Jing played, the more proficient he became and took less time to defeat his opponent. He often finished the game after entering the middle stages, leaving the opponent powerless.
“What the h.e.l.l, who is this guy?

“Is he a professional Go player, did he come here to show off.”

“Professional Go players come here to play QQ Go, this is so unfair.”

For a while, almost everyone thought that Su Jing was a professional Go player. Some people sent messages to ask and even Song Xueru and Heavenly Star sent messages to ask, but Su Jing didn't answer them. He didn't want to disclose his information because he didn't want to publicize himself.

Learning Go is only for self-cultivation, helping to cultivate the body and spiritual force. Since he can play QQ Go without showing his face, it is better to hide. Otherwise, if he was exposed, he would probably become more famous. Many questions would be asked and Su Jing doesn't want to answer them, Su Jing didn't bother to pay attention, and it was too early to see, so he quit and stopped playing.

“Grandpa, why aren't you asleep? Are you playing Go? Don't forget that the “Good Chef China” show will start tomorrow. As a food judge, you have to get up early, and not sleeping early is bad for your health.” A young man walked into the elegant study and told Song Xueru, the old gentleman who played against Su Jing.

“Got it.” Song Xueru nodded and turned to him. “By the way, see if you can find out anything about this man.”

“Who is this?” The young man stepped forward. He obviously knew a lot about computers and his hand speed was extremely fast. Unfortunately, Su Jing used a trumpet, which contained nothing, the young man said, “This man has no information. I only found out that his IP address is in Zhongyun City. Why are you looking for him, Grandpa? “

“I just played a game against him,” Song Xueru said.

“And?”

“I lost.”

“Lost?” The young man was stunned. His Grandpa has not lost at Go for a while, but he was relieved and said. “Grandpa, that must be a professional Go player. Occasionally, Professional Go players use QQ Go to solve the boring problem, which is not surprising. Don't let it bother you, just go to bed.”
