Chapter 18 18. I’m not afraid. If I’m afraid, I’ll lose for the rest of my life.

"Fear?"

When Wan Fang heard this, his first reaction was ridiculous.

Who is Honghe Jiuduan?

Ranked fifth in China's ranking, he is the holder of the national player title and has won the national player title for five consecutive years.

It guarantees at least one or two domestic championships every year, and has also won two world runner-ups and seven semi-finals in the world series.

What are you afraid of? Afraid of you? It’s so funny.

But thinking about Ying Jie's move just now, Wan Fang seemed to understand.

The ninth section of Honghe River is afraid.

But the person who is afraid is not Ying Jie who is playing chess with him, but Gao Yongxia 9th Dan, the world's number one Go player who also uses zombie style.

Honghe 9th Dan reached the finals of the World Series twice, both against Gao Yongxia.

The first three rounds of chess were lost 2:0.

The second time Wufanqi lost 3:0.

And several times the situation was Gao Yongxia's extreme comeback in the ninth level.

The reason why Gao Yongxia 9th dan uses the zombie flow is not because he is born with a liking for it. Compared with other top-level chess players, Gao Yongxia's 9th dan layout is one step behind, and he often lags behind at the start.

However, the powerful calculation power and disruptive ability of the middle disk made up for the loss of his layout.

He has performed countless comebacks in the international arena, just like an art performance, but he has won the world championship again and again.

Afraid?

Isn’t it right to be afraid?

It's simply impossible to defeat.

Even when China won the championship several times, other Korean players eliminated Ko Yongha 9th Dan first. Occasionally, when they did not enter the finals, they sniped Ko Yongha 9th Dan once in a set to determine the outcome.

No one in China has even defeated Gao Yongxia 9th Dan in the finals of Fanqi.

How could you not be afraid of such an opponent?

Not to mention the ninth section of Honghe, Wan Fang clearly remembers when he was learning chess.

Some classmates once saw Gao Yongxia win the world championship again, collapsed and gave up Go, crying and shouting: "You can't win at all, so what if you become a professional chess player?"

And no one can beat Gao Yongxia, so what’s the point of not winning the championship?

The only thing everyone can remember is Gao Yongxia, no matter how hard we try, we can only be his supporting role!"

It can be said that Wan Fang and the others were born in the shadow of Gao Yongxia, and even suffered from a disease called Koreanphobia.

It was precisely because of this that Honghe Ninth Section felt that the person sitting opposite him was not Ying Jie, but Gao Yongxia.

It's as if time has returned to the chessboard three years ago.

In the same situation, he clearly had the advantage that time. Faced with the opponent's choice to start a robbery, Hong He faced it head-on.

In the end, it was clearly calculated that he had more material to rob than the other party, and in the end he was beaten to death by the other party.

From then on, when Honghe 9th dan faced Gao Yongxia in the middle game, they would rather choose to lose some money and want to deal with it concisely, for fear that the opponent would use their strengths again.

Hong He Jiuduan looked down at the chess game. Ying Jie didn't make a move: "Aren't you afraid?"

Upon hearing this question, Ying Jie was stunned for a moment.

Afraid?

To be fair, Gao Yongxia's chess skills are obviously much higher than mine. If I were to play chess with him now, Shifanqi would definitely win 10-0.

I have no chance of winning at all.

The kind without any suspense.

But why be afraid?

Even if he faces him now, Ying Jie is not afraid.

I have unique skills, I have experience that transcends the times summarized by countless chess players in the AI ​​era, I have my own hard work, and I have the talent I once wasted.

So what if you lose once? Just win it back next time.

And if one day I really stand in front of him, I will never be the same as I am now.

“I hope I can surpass everything and play the perfect game of Go.

I'm very eager to win, even though the gap between me and him is huge right now.

I won’t be afraid, otherwise I will lose for the rest of my life.”

Ying Jie recalled the words of the first player in Go in his previous life and couldn't help but say it.

You can lose, but you can't be afraid. If you are afraid, you will lose for the rest of your life.

Even when he faced artificial intelligence back then, he was not afraid of that man.

Just facing a chess player, why should Ying Jie be afraid?

"Oh."

Hearing this, Honghe Jiuduan couldn't help laughing.

"Really, old guys like us are being taught a lesson by young people like you.

I’ve learned a lesson, whether it’s today’s game of chess or that sentence just now.

I lost this game of chess today."

The ninth section of the Honghe River bowed its hand to Yingjie.

Ying Jie hurriedly returned the gift: "Actually, even if my dragon survives, it will only be two points. The final outcome..."

"It doesn't matter anymore.

Besides, if I play chess with a junior like you and I play like this and don’t make a move, if word gets out, those guys will definitely laugh at me to my face.

Today's game was good, but not that good, but I believe you will definitely play better games in the future. I hope our old bones can last a little longer.

I am waiting for you with the title of national champion, waiting for you to come over."

Wan Fang fell silent when he heard this.

The opponent is 14 years old and I am 18 years old. Calculated as five years old, theoretically speaking, they are still players of the same generation.

The opponent has already accepted the challenge from the top national players, while he is still in the first round of rookie professional competitions such as the Rookie King Tournament and the Rookie Championship.

But, as the other person said, don't be afraid.

Ying Jie, just wait, I will definitely catch up with you.

Wan Fang looked at Ying Jie sitting opposite, clenching his hands into fists as if he had made up his mind.

Honghe Jiudaan looked at the young Ying Jie, as if he saw himself in his youth.

What were you afraid of at that time?

Don't be afraid of anything, as long as you have chess to play.

But the two defeats in the World Series actually planted the seeds of fear in his heart. Facing that guy Gao Yongxia, his skills deformed again and again.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been shut out twice.

Yes, that's what he said.

Don't be afraid, otherwise you will lose for the rest of your life.

All you have to do is try your best.

"Thank you for your advice today. I won't keep you waiting."

"Okay, but don't just focus on my title. My bonus is the lowest among all.

To say that the prize money is high, it has to be a chess holy war, 800,000, which is almost in time for the world championships, and to be honest, the chess masters are more prestigious than the national players."

When Ying Jie heard this, he smiled and said: "If possible, I would actually like to win the first world championship as soon as possible."

"Okay, if you are ambitious, then I hope we can meet in the World Series."

Honghe Jiudaan put away his fan and nodded.

"You should go to the Imperial Capital immediately, right?"

"Yes, we will leave within a week.

There are still some procedures in the school that need to be handed over, after all, you have to keep your student status, and then you have to say goodbye to your friends and so on."

Hong He 9th Dan nodded: "The Fangyuan Dojo you are going to is run by a friend of mine. Please help me ask him when the time comes.

During this time, I have to go find my old friends, and in half a month I have to kill Gao Yongxia’s majesty, so I can’t leave anything to you juniors.”
