Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 71 Professional Teams Flocking in

"The house you found is quite remote. It's not even in the main urban area of ​​Lin'an. But it's quite big. I thought you would just find a random rental house to live in."

Looking at Yi Zheng who had moved his things, Mr. Ke looked around the room. Yi Zheng rented a large flat with a total of four rooms, which was also decorated quite well.

Finally getting rid of the dormitory he lived in during his student days, Mr. Ke felt very comfortable, especially since he had his own room.

I've fallen. I used to not be happy even when living in a big villa, but now I feel very happy just having an independent space.

After Yi Zheng sent the computer assembler away, he took a sip of water from the refrigerator and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether the location is remote or not. Besides, there's a subway station nearby, so it's convenient for us to get around.

Although I don’t know who will be able to get promoted in a few days, there are definitely many people willing to share a house with me, not to mention that Boss Shi and his team have a high possibility of getting promoted.

The capital and Linping can be said to be the largest gathering places for professional players. It is very easy to find a professional willing to share a house in Lin'an. Fatty even said that he wanted to move in and live with me.

People like us don't have any other educational or medical needs, so why do we have to live in the main urban area?

Besides, I finally got my bonus, and I can improve my living conditions, so why would I torture myself? "

Yi Zheng just doesn't have too many material desires, and he doesn't have any masochistic tendencies, so he doesn't have to live in the basement and exhaust himself.

This is not saving, it is sick.

Although a bonus of 100,000 yuan is not much, it will not cause any major problems in improving your life in the short term.

However, Mr. Ke couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the brand new computer: "This computer is still too ordinary and too simple. Nowadays, computers don't have any good configurations.

The display is still in a plastic shell, a complete failure. The main chassis is not DIY at all, a complete failure among failures."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng said somewhat helplessly, "This is already a very good configuration, better than many Internet cafes."

In the eyes of a computer novice like Yi Zheng, the computers in the Internet cafe already have the highest configuration.

Mr. Ke just shook his head. "Normally, my computer has a 4090 CPU and it has a computing power of 100 teraflops. Even Skynet doesn't have that much computing power, so this computer is far behind. Not to mention, I was planning to upgrade to a 5090 later."

In the era of artificial intelligence, many professional players have requirements for computer configuration.

Since AlphaGo was open-sourced, various artificial intelligence Go software have emerged one after another. KataGo, one of the top artificial intelligences, can be installed by anyone, but artificial intelligence requires very high computing power.

If your computer's computing power is not enough, it may sometimes mistake the second choice for the first choice. If this happens during a competition, it will be a big problem.

Now it is a bit embarrassing for Mr. Ke, who is used to driving a Porsche, to drive such an old computer of Santana level.

When Yi Zheng heard this, he just shook his head. What's the point of having such a high configuration if you can't play it anyway?

However, looking at Mr. Ke who was trying to control the computer from a distance, Yi Zheng couldn't help but shook his head.

Mr. Ke had a wild imagination before and said that he had seen a marketing account saying that the soul is also an electromagnetic force field, and maybe he could even control his mobile phone, computer, etc.

However, as of now, Mr. Ke has not produced any research results. Although he said yesterday that the video would be rewound one second, when Yi Zheng came to watch again, there was no movement at all. It is likely that it was just Mr. Ke's illusion.

Otherwise, if it really succeeded, Mr. Ke would have directly become a cyber spirit.

Looking at the two options for the phone and computer that had already been redeemed, Yi Zheng sat down and familiarly painted a new picture for Mr. Ke. "This house we're living in now is just a transitional house. Mr. Ke, didn't you mention you had a big villa in the capital? When I win a championship and have enough money, we'll see if there's a big villa in the same area. I'll buy you one and let you feel the warmth of home."

After completing the stage goals, Yi Zheng was afraid that Mr. Ke would suddenly lose motivation, so he took the opportunity to paint another big picture for him.

The surplus value has not been fully squeezed out yet, so at this time we must not develop a mentality of being content with a small fortune and giving up.

Looking at Yi Zheng, who was sitting there with his eyes open and already making big promises for himself, Mr. Ke felt a strange feeling: "Thank goodness you came to play Go."

Besides Go, you seem to have some strange talents in other areas... You're too skilled at some things...

I'm not even that skilled with my own employees...

"If I don't play Go, I don't seem to have anything to do."

Yi Zheng shook his head when he heard this. He didn't feel that he had any other talents besides Go.

As soon as Yi Zheng finished speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang. Looking at the unfamiliar out-of-town number displayed on the phone, Yi Zheng could probably guess who it was, but he still picked up the call.

"Hello. Who is this?"

A female voice came from the other end of the line: "Is this Yi Zheng, first dan? I'm the manager of the Beifu Battery Team. I'd like to invite you to discuss signing with a professional team. Do you have time to discuss it?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't received my certificate yet. I might have to think about it later."

Hearing the words on the other end of the phone that had become so familiar over the past few days, Yi Zheng politely declined and hung up.

In the past few days, more than one professional team has contacted Yi Zheng. Even today, this is the third call, so Yi Zheng knows everything they are going to say next by heart.

Listening to the voice on the phone, Mr. Ke said with a somewhat sour tone: "You have quite a lot of professional teams here... They are all vying for the first-level players."

Looking at Yi Zheng who received many offers, Mr. Ke couldn't help but recall some unpleasant memories.

When Mr. Ke first entered the professional world, his performance was so poor that he was the last one to pass the test, resulting in no team being willing to accept him. Finally, he met a mentor who found a team for him.

Even when he just came on the court and the team wanted to take him off because they lost more than they won, it was Bole who insisted on giving the boy more opportunities. Finally, Mr. Ke finally broke out of his cocoon and won the league MVP for three consecutive years.

Mr. Ke is a man who knows how to repay his gratitude. After he became the world champion, the team in his hometown wanted him to return and reportedly even asked someone to persuade his parents, but in the end he chose to stay with his old club.

"I'm not that hot, though the top few finishers in the annual dan tournaments have no trouble finding a contract. But maybe they're attracted by my status as the first amateur dan player to qualify, and think it's something they can hype up."

Yi Zheng shook his head. Generally speaking, professional teams wouldn't be so unreserved, but he had some special circumstances: "But they are all teams from the domestic league. I'm not very interested in them.

I still want to see if I can sign with a second-tier team, I want to play directly in the World League."

Speaking of the teams in the second-tier league, Yi Zheng remembered Jin Wan, the ninth-dan player who had extended an olive branch to him before. He already had a team in the second-tier league.

If there are better options, Yi Zheng would naturally not want to go to a worse place, but this choice has additional conditions.
