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

Chapter 106: The Number One Go Player in Japan

"So it's your brother who wants to see me?"

Yi Zheng got into the Kuroki family's car and looked at Kuroki Ryuji who was sitting next to him and asked again uncertainly.

The man in black who appeared in the hall just now was the bodyguard brought by Kuroki Ryuji. The reason why Kuroki Ryuji rushed over from Tokyo and squatted in the hall for a long time and finally blocked Yi Zheng and others after the game was to invite Yi Zheng to his home.

Since only Yi Zheng was invited, the other members of the Capital Bank team had to go to dinner by themselves.

Because it was not Kuroki Ryuji who invited Yi Zheng, but his brother.

Kuroki Ryuji's elder brother, Kuroki Teruto, the number one Go player in Japan, is also known as Honinbo Terugen. His full name is Kuroki Honinbo Go Saint Meijin Tengen Oza Agama Toyama NHK Teruto.

It is completely understandable that Kuroki Ryuji would look for Yi Zheng, because according to Baoshu Qidan, when Kuroki Ryuji was in Japan, he had nothing to do and liked to mention Yi Zheng's name.

And when defeating an opponent, he likes to say that you are far worse than China's Yi Zheng.

This means that Yi Zhengren has offended many young Japanese chess players even though he has never been to Japan.

When Yi Zheng heard the news, he felt that he should not bear such a blame at his age.

Upon hearing this, Kuroki Ryuji nodded and said, "Yes, because I saw your name on the schedule of the Go B-League, and I'm planning to come find you in Japan. Isn't your next game in ten days?

But just as I was about to call the driver to go out, my brother found out. After he knew about it, he asked me to invite you to my house and said he wanted to meet you, so I brought people over.

I didn't expect you to have such a misunderstanding. Well, they all look a little too fierce, and they don't seem like good people.

Normally I wouldn't take them with me when I go out, but my brother said that the place where you're competing is too far from Tokyo, so you should bring some bodyguards."

"..."

Yi Zheng glanced at the men in black behind him and at Mr. Ke, who was sandwiched between them. "Do you call this leading people?" The men in suits and sunglasses looked like they were from the Black Dragon Society, not the Kuroki clan.

Sitting in the back of the car, Mr. Ke couldn't help but grumble, "The last time I saw someone going out with bodyguards was in Crayon Shin-chan. The eldest daughter of the Su Otome Ai Group only had one bodyguard, but this guy actually brought four or five. He's totally going against the grain!"

"..."

After hearing this, Yi Zheng was silent for a moment. How should he put it? Although the Kuroki family is said to be a famous Go family in Japan, of course... it is also a chaebol.

The Kuroki family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has accumulated a lot of wealth. It not only owns newspapers and real estate companies, but also participates in international trade in metals, machinery, petroleum, chemicals, food, textiles and other fields.

If you think about it this way, the fact that Kuroki Ryuji only brought a Go 7th dan with him when he went to China could be considered an incognito visit in some ways.

Damn rich people!

"Why is your brother looking for me? Why does he want to see me?"

Yi Zheng was also a little surprised. Kuroki Teruto was the number one Go player in Japan and ranked fourth in the world Go ranking. His schedule was already full with competitions, activities and training, but he actually took the initiative to ask to meet him.

Although Yi Zheng is very confident that he will be able to reach the world's number one position in the future, he is still far away at the moment.

Yi Zheng didn't feel that he had the ability to enter the sight of the number one Go player in Japan.

Generally speaking, what they care about should be several opponents on the same level of the Heavenly Ranking, because they are the most direct competitors.

At most, there will be some elites who are very young but are already on the Earth List and the Human List and are ready to impact the Heaven List at any time, because these people are ready to take over and replace them at any time.

Yi Zheng's only achievement so far was winning the team championship in a rising star competition. His abilities weren't particularly outstanding among his peers, so he was genuinely surprised by the other party's request to meet him.

Just because he beat up his brother so many times? Plus the new changes of the Heavenly Demon Transformation and...

Well, that’s not right.

Does this alone seem to be enough?
Yi Zheng seemed to have realized something at this time. Yi Zheng had been with Mr. Ke for too long and was already numb to all the new changes and even cracking methods.

Simply put, Yi Zheng feels like he is a landlord sitting on a mountain of gold. Now he feels that the new changes and those cracked ways of playing are so numerous that they are worthless.

Is this a surprising move? Isn't it normal?

Under the "encouragement" of Mr. Ke's love over the years, Yi Zheng has gone from being shocked at the beginning to being completely accustomed to it now.

But people outside don’t think so. After seeing the new changes, they will just feel incredible that there is actually a beginner who can come up with new changes.

To some extent, it seems natural that Kuroki Teruto would want to meet Yi Zheng.

Yi Zheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of this. He never expected that one day he would become so Versailles without realizing it.

But even for the top chess players in this world, the "wealth" in Yi Zheng's hands is something they can hardly imagine in their entire lives.

Even if it is revealed a little bit, it is enough to drive many top masters crazy.

The driver quickly took Yi Zheng and Kuroki Ryuji to the gate of the Kuroki residence. The servant at the gate opened the door and welcomed the two in.

Looking at the mansion that was countless times larger than his villa in his previous world, Mr. Ke seemed to realize something. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn rich people!"

Yi Zheng followed Kuroki Ryuji through the courtyard and several corridors and finally found the door of a room.

Kuroki Ryuji knocked on the door and said to the person inside, "Brother, Yi Zheng is here."

"come in."

Upon hearing this, Kuroki Ryuji pushed the wooden door open, took off his shoes and walked in. Yi Zheng also took off his shoes.

Mr. Ke doesn't need to take it off, because he has no legs...

After entering the room, Yi Zheng took a quick look. The room, which was about 50 square meters, only had a table with a chessboard and a teapot and cups on it. There were a lot of books neatly placed on the floor. The whole room seemed unusually empty.

Kuroki Teruto looked up at Yi Zheng who had arrived and nodded slightly, "Please sit down. I, your younger brother, have caused you a lot of trouble."

"what?"

Yi Zheng had just sat down cross-legged when he was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "That's not the case, Kuroki Ryuji is very good, we can learn from each other."

It's really good. Kuroki Ryuji won't cry no matter how he is beaten. He is much better than that little brat of Silla.

It seems that this is not the topic that Kuroki Teruto is concerned about. This is just his opening remark to bring up the topic.

So Kuroki Teruto's second question was straightforward: "Do you know AlphaGo?"
