I’m Really a Superstar-Novel2

Chapter 1111: Just who could this godly person be?

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

At Zhang Ye's parents' house.

He snorted!

What are you doing? You said that we would play again some other time after agreeing to end the last match yesterday as a draw. Oh, you're already going back on your word? You won't play me anymore? You even kicked me out of the room? What have I said? Why did you have to kick me?

Don't make me mad!

You're pushing your luck!

You want to challenge my computer skills?

Do you think this bro's world-class hacker skills are meant for messing around with you?

On the other end.

Old Wu's parents' courtyard house.

Wu Changhe could be heard shouting nonstop!

"Who wants to play against you! I'm going to kick you out!"

"Whoa, you can still come back? I'll just have to kick you again!"

"Hahaha, keep being cocky! Go on, keep at it!"

"Damn, why am I not the administrator anymore?"

"Damn! You little bastard, how dare you kick me?"

"Are you trying to play dirty with me! I'll fight it out with you!"

Li Qinqin pushed open the door in a speechless manner. "What's with you?"

Wu Changhe said furiously, "That rascal Zhang is playing dirty with me! How dare he come looking for trouble! I'll show him what he gets for disrespecting me!"

Li Qinqin said in amusement, "He's looking for you again to play Go? Then just play him for a little while."

Wu Changhe rolled his eyes. "Why would I play him? Who wants to play him! He's not worth my time, understand?"

Li Qinqin smiled but did not say anything.

Not worth your time?

You're clearly just saying that because you can't beat him!

…

The netizens also learned about this!

They all came over to watch when they heard what was going on, and all bent over laughing!

"YE and Wu Changhe are fighting again!"

"Do they have to be this funny?"

"What's with this YE? Why did he come here again today?"

"Why is he so insistent on targeting Changhe 9-dan?"

"How did he manage to steal the administrator's role?"

"Who knows? Pfft, this person is so funny!"

Wherever Wu Changhe went, YE followed. These two started an epic chase!

…

At the SARFT.

Wu Zeqing was in her office.

Secretary Bai fast walked in. "Chief Wu."

"Yes?" Wu Zeqing looked up.

Secretary Bai hesitated a little before saying, "It seems like your father has met with some trouble. There's someone on the Internet who's arguing with him. It's been going on for two days."

Wu Zeqing asked a few probing questions before powering on her computer to take a look at the Go server. She then had a laugh and said, "OK, I see."

Secretary Bai blinked and said, "Why don't I get someone to check out who that YE—"

Wu Zeqing waved it off and said with a smile, "Don't worry about them."

"Uh, alright then," Secretary Bai said.

…

At China Qiyuan.

A lot of people could not help but laugh at the happenings.

But the disciples of Wu Changhe who were gnashing their teeth in hate.

Hu Liang remarked angrily, "Teacher, get him! Fight it out with him!"

Chen Ying, Xu Han, and the others all looked at him but did not say a word.

Fight it out with him? Even Xiang Rong 9-dan could not beat him! Fight? What fight! This person's Go skill was just too crazy. Other than Xiang Rong 9-dan, who else would be a match for him?

The Qiyuan's president, Dan Donghe came over. He was also at a loss for words when he saw what was going on. "Why are they at it again? Didn't they play all of yesterday? Which jinx has Brother Wu offended!"

Suddenly, a professional 8th dan player pointed at the computer screen and said, "Teacher Changhe went offline!"

Beside him, a professional 5th dan female player clicked with her mouse and said, "No, he's not offline. Teacher Changhe switched over to the Xiangqi server!"

"Xiangqi?"

"Pfft! Teacher Changhe has been forced to the Xiangqi server?"

Dan Donghe shook his head and laughed.

The Go server and the Xiangqi server were both operated by the same company and were accessible using the same account. The only difference was that their login pages were different. But the account status of those on the friends list could still be seen, like which server they were currently playing on, which room they were in, and even if they were in an active match at the moment.

The next moment, everyone discovered that YE had actually followed him over!

When those at China Qiyuan and many of the netizens realized this, they all headed into that room to watch the fun!

Now, even the Xiangqi players were alarmed. This was because Wu Changhe was also known to be a good player in the Xiangqi world. Although his achievements here could not be compared to that of the world of Go, Wu Changhe was one of the very few who could play both Go and Xiangqi at the master level. This was a rare phenomenon in the history of both games. Even now, Wu Changhe's Xiangqi skill was maintained at a very high level. His skill might not be at the same level as that of a grandmaster, but it was still comparable to a master. In the past, he had even dabbled in many of the Xiangqi world's tournaments. This was why Wu Changhe was also very well-known within the Xiangqi world. Some of the professional Xiangqi players who had just debuted would not even be a match for him!

…

Inside the room.

Wu Changhe and YE were coming face to face for the umpteenth time!

Wu Changhe was almost going crazy. "Rascal, why do you keep following me around? Ah?"

Zhang Ye typed: "To play Go."

Wu Changhe harrumphed. "You're not worth my time!"

Zhang Ye said: "Then take back what you said the other day."

Wu Changhe said: "Why would I do that? I'm not taking back any words!"

Zhang Ye said: "Then let's decide things on the board of Go."

"I'm not playing you!"

"Then take back what you said!"

"I'm not taking them back! Let me tell you this: you definitely have a questionable character!"

"Then lay the terms."

A moment of silence ensued.

Suddenly, Wu Changhe laughed loudly and said: "If you want me to take back what I said, fine! Why don't we play a game of Xiangqi? Do you dare?"

Xiangqi?

Zhang Ye was taken aback. But at the same time, he was very happy about it. "Sure!"

…

Li Qinqin could no longer watch on. "You couldn't beat him at Go. And now, you're challenging him to Xiangqi? Is there any meaning to that?"

"Of course there is!" Wu Changhe laughed heartily. "I think this is going to be particularly interesting! If I don't show this kid something, he's going to get all arrogant!"

Li Qinqin rolled her eyes and said, "Your Xiangqi skills are at the pro level. How do you expect him to be able to play against you?"

"I don't care about that!" Wu Changhe said, "He wants to win over my daughter? He'll have to get past me first!"

Li Qinqin shook her head and said, "You're really intent on bullying others!"

Wu Changhe harrumphed, "What do you know! This is my way of testing him!"

Li Qinqin pursed her lips and said, "How's this a test? You're only doing this because you lost to him at Go and have nowhere to hang your head."

Wu Changhe pretended not to have heard her. He immediately hunt and pecked at the keyboard and sent a message to Zhang Ye: "Hurry up already. We're starting. Faster! Faster!" He was finally feeling spirited again!

If I can't beat you at Go!

Then I will make sure to thrash you at Xiangqi!

Hahaha!

On the other end, YE clicked the "ready" button!

The game commenced!

…

The netizens exclaimed.

"Wow!"

"Yesterday was Go. And today it's Xiangqi?"

"Pfft, what fun this is!"

"Teacher Changhe can finally vindicate himself today!"

"Yeah, Teacher Changhe's Xiangqi is very advanced too!"

"YE has been tricked. He probably does not know that Teacher Changhe's Xiangqi skill is at the level of a pro as well!"

"Hur hur, Wu Changhe is even going to move first."

…

Indeed, Zhang Ye really did not know that Wu Changhe's Xiangqi skill was at the professional level.

Moving the horse. 1

Shifting the cannon.

Advancing the soldier.

But after playing for a while, he suddenly let out an exclamation when he realized something was up.

Hey! This standard of play is pretty good! Only then did Zhang Ye realize that Wu Changhe could actually play so professionally. He realized that Comrade Changhe was actually trying to trick him, so he immediately focused and continued playing on!

Trying to trick me?

You're overrating yourself!

If you had played me yesterday, I might really not be able to beat you!

But today? Hur hur! You're as good as walking into my direct line of fire!

Zhang Ye didn't expect that the five skill experience books from Lottery Draw (Two) could actually be put to use so quickly!

"Come on!"

"Whoa, you're sending out your chariot already? Watch this!"

"Haha. I've got your horse's leg hobbled 2 , haven't I? Jump! Why aren't you jumping!? 3 "

…

At China Qiyuan.

At the beginning, no one really gave much thought to the game since everyone knew that Wu Changhe was an expert in Xiangqi. But when they got to the middlegame 4 , everyone was dumbfounded!

Chen Ying was taken aback. "This…"

Xu Han was wiping away his sweat. "Damn!"

Hu Liang could also see it. "Teacher Wu is at a disadvantage? How's that possible!"

Beside them, there were quite a few Xiangqi pros who also came to watch the game. At first, they thought it was a game of Go being played. But when they came over, they saw it turned out to be a Xiangqi battle. Further, it was an extremely high level game!

At this point, those people from the Xiangqi world were also stunned!

"Fuck!"

"Who could he be?"

"Why is he so good?"

"He can even play Xiangqi?"

"This is bad! That was a bad move by Teacher Changhe!"

"Aiyo, this horse is done for!"

Indeed. With the next move, Wu Changhe's horse was captured and taken by YE!

"This formation was really well-planned!"

"Yeah, Teacher Changhe has been tricked by YE again!"

"That move earlier by YE was actually just a diversion!"

…

At the courtyard house.

Wu Changhe had started off the game with a big smile on his face. It later turned into a slight smile before he turned completely expressionless, and then finally looked like he was about to vomit a mouthful of blood!

The game lasted only half an hour!

Check!

When YE moved his cannon, Wu Changhe was checkmated!

Li Qinqin was also dumbfounded from watching. "This Little Zhang, he's…"

Wu Changhe was so angry that he was trembling. He typed: "Again! I dare you to play again!"

"You're up for another game?"

"Best of three!"

"Sure."

The second game was won by YE. It took one hour.historical

"Again!"

"Isn't it supposed to be a best of three?"

"Do you even know how to play Xiangqi? Any proper official tournament states that a match is decided in a best of five!"

"Oh, OK."

In the third game, YE won. It took 45 minutes.

"Again!"

"But I've already won three times."

"A pro match requires a best of seven!"

"Oh, so it's like that."

"Come on!"

"OK."

In the fourth game, YE won in 50 minutes.

For the entirety of the daytime, Wu Changhe played ten games against Zhang Ye, not believing that this was happening. In all ten games, Wu Changhe lost. He even lost all of them very quickly and easily!

Wu Changhe was dumbfounded!

China Qiyuan's people were dumbfounded!

The observing players were also dumbfounded!

Yesterday, Wu Changhe had been utterly demolished in Go!

But who could have thought that today in Xiangqi, Wu Changhe would get utterly demolished once again by YE!

Just what sort of person was he!

Which fucking godly person was this!?

They were all so shocked that they didn't know what to say!

…

At the courtyard house.

Wu Zeqing came back to her parent's place after work.

The moment she entered the house, she saw Wu Changhe with a dark look on his face and not saying a word. Every now and then, he would even bang on the table out of anger.

Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "Dad, what's going on?"

"You dare to ask? You have the cheek to ask me that?" With her question, Wu Changhe got even angrier!

Li Qinqin laughed and said, "Your dad lost again."

Wu Zeqing said, "Isn't that very normal?"

Li Qinqin shook her head and said, "This time, he lost to Little Zhang in Xiangqi. Out of ten games, he did not even win once. Just look at how he's throwing a tantrum now, hur hur."

Wu Zeqing was taken aback. "Little Ye knows how to play Xiangqi as well?"

"He more than knows how to play it," Li Qinqin said with a giggle. "This boyfriend of yours is really no ordinary guy."

3. The horse does not jump as the knight does in international chess. Zhang Ye hobbled/trapped Wu Changhe's horse.

4. The opening in Xiangqi is basically the first 10-15 moves by each person, that is, 20-30 moves in total.
