Two o'clock in the afternoon.
After waking up, Li Jie came to the computer desk, pressed the power button, and heard the familiar sound of WIN98 booting up.
After a long wait, the computer finally entered the desktop interface.
Double-click the ADSL connection network, log in to the Yicheng battle platform, and...it doesn't work.
The reason is that it was stuck in the process of registering a user name.
Enter the word "Exquisite Art" and a small window will pop up on the screen.
'Sorry, the nickname you used is already taken. '
Excellent art 1.
'Sorry, you used...'
The ultimate artist.
'Sorry, you used...'
I'm really talented.
'Sorry, you used...'
…
…
After trying more than ten times in a row, Li Jie found that all nicknames related to the word "Excellent Art" could not be registered.
Looking at the pop-up window on the screen, Li Jie touched his chin and thought to himself.
Is it a problem with the website mechanism?
The reason for this thought was entirely because Li Jie had just tried many combinations of uncommon words and still failed to pass the registration.
After thinking about it, Li Jie gave up on naming him 'Jue Yi'. It was just a training match anyway, so there was no need to worry about an ID.
Taking an ID at random, Li Jie successfully logged into the battle platform, and then sent his ID to the teacher at the chess academy on QQ.
About five or six minutes later, Li Jie received an invitation to play.
The training match officially begins!
At the same time, in a dark Internet cafe, time was constantly flipping through the online list in the upper right corner of the screen.
'How about it? How about it? Time, have you found the art? '
Looking at the time that kept repeating the same action, Chu Ying couldn't help but ask.
Shi Guang said without looking back: "Don't worry, I'm looking for you." '
A quarter of an hour passed, and he still gained nothing. He threw the mouse aside with a snap, lay back, and leaned on the chair.
'Chu Ying, I'm sorry, I couldn't find Duke. '
'Well. '
Hearing these words, Chu Ying's face was immediately filled with disappointment.
Although online Go is a good thing that allows him to play against other players unscrupulously, the level of online Go players is also uneven.
Even if there are hidden masters, it is still a glimpse. Most of the chess players on the Internet are amateurs.
After all, the level of amateur chess players is limited. If he could choose, Chu Ying would naturally want to play against top players.
After all, only when each other is at about the same level can one's personal potential be fully unleashed.
Chu Ying's lifelong pursuit is the 'God's Move'. If he keeps communicating with amateur chess players, he may never see hope in this life.
Si Shi noticed the disappointment on Chu Ying's face and quickly cheered up, picking up the mouse again.
'Don't worry, I'm looking for you. '
Another half an hour passed, but Shi still couldn't find any clues. This time, he was completely at his wits end.
"Chu Ying, maybe Duke didn't practice chess online today. How about we play two games with others first?" '
On the Yicheng battle platform, the ID 'Chu Ying' is extremely dazzling, and it still maintains a 100% winning rate since its debut.
Simply outrageous!
Therefore, whenever 'Chu Ying' comes online, the battle invitation in the lower right corner will flash crazily.
'Fine. '
Chu Ying sighed helplessly and nodded.
Shi Guang patted his face to refresh himself, then clicked on the message in the lower right corner and began to carefully select his opponent.
After repeated deliberation, Shi Guang finally chose an opponent with 80 games played and a winning rate of 90%.
Generally speaking, the higher the winning rate, the higher the level of the chess player. After all, Chu Ying can only play chess a few times a month, and Shijia certainly wants to choose a strong opponent for him.
'alright. '
As soon as the battle started, the numbers on the upper right side of the screen began to jump crazily.
1……
13…
25…
88…
It wasn't until the number reached 356 that the rate of growth began to slow down.
This number represents the number of spectators. As a legend on the Yicheng battle platform, 'Chu Ying' will definitely attract crowds of spectators whenever he appears.
…
…
…
after an hour.
Seeing the 'Vote' pop-up window popping up in the center of the screen, Li Jie couldn't help but lean back and stretch.
Although this game of chess ended quickly, he did not play it easily.
drop!
drop!
At this moment, QQ in the lower right corner began to flash.
Coach Yang: Xiao Du, how about changing your opponent in the next set?
Li Jie was suddenly surprised when he saw this news.
Change your opponent?
Didn't the training staff arrange it in advance?
Duke: Which chess player?
Director Yang: Look at the upper right corner of the Yicheng battle platform and click on the game with the most people watching.
Li Jie glanced at the upper right corner of the screen as he was told. When he saw the names of the two sides, he immediately understood what Director Yang was thinking.
Chu Ying VS Yitong Tianxia.
Number of spectators: 623.
So many people watching the game?
Li Jie was a little surprised when he saw this number. This is not the era when computers were popularized in later generations.
As far as he knew, the highest number of people online on the Yicheng battle platform was only seven or eight thousand.
More than 600 people watched the game, which means that this game attracted at least one-tenth of the chess players, maybe even more.
Director Yang: Did you see it? Chu Ying is a legend in Yicheng. He has never lost since he appeared.
Director Yang: Also, let me tell you a little secret. Many professional chess players have tried to play chess with him, but they all lost.
drop!
drop!
drop!
Next, Director Yang seemed to be in chatter mode, sending more than a dozen messages in a row, telling Li Jie one by one about Chu Ying's past achievements, and he did not hesitate to praise him.
In the end, Director Yang almost blew Chu Ying to the point where he was in heaven and earth. It was not difficult to tell from his words that the other party was like a little fanboy.
Duke: OK, but how to fight him? For someone as powerful as Chu Ying, I'm afraid there is no shortage of invitations to fight, right?
Director Yang: Leave it to me.
After sending this message, Director Yang's direction finally stopped flickering.
On the other side, Shi Guang took advantage of the opponent's thinking and casually glanced at the battle chat room on the right side of the screen.
Suddenly, a bold red font caught his attention.
Administrator No. 1: Mr. Chu Ying, are you interested in playing a game with 'Excellent Art'? If you are interested, please click '1' on the public screen.
'Chu Ying! Chu Ying! '
Seeing this news, Shi Shi almost jumped up with joy. This is really a difficult situation, and there is no way out.
Originally, he had given up hope of playing chess with 'Jue Yi', but who would have thought that the opportunity would come quietly.
'ah? Time? What's wrong? '
Chu Ying, who was immersed in the chessboard, was immediately awakened by the roar of time.
'Look here, look here! Shi Guang pointed at the computer screen excitedly: "Someone has contacted us. We can play chess with Duke later!" '
