While talking to Tetsuo Kaga, they soon arrived at Luo Chen's house.
But…the moment he pushed open the door, Luo Chen was stunned because Ye Qingyi was sitting on the sofa, staring at him with a pair of eyes that were spitting fire.
Luo Chen instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he still smiled cheekily and greeted Ye Qingyi.""Sister…you didn't go to work today!”
"Yeah, I didn't go to work. Even someone doesn't want to go to school. Why should I go to work?”
Ye Qingyi laughed coldly.
Luo Chen's forehead was dripping with sweat. He quickly waved his hands and frantically explained,"" That…what? Sister, I didn't go to school because…"
Before he could finish, Ye Qingyi interrupted him.""I don't care what you do or what the reason is. You can't delay your studies. To you, studying is the most important thing now, do you understand?”
"I'm sorry, sister. I know I was wrong!”
Luo Chen lowered his head, his face slightly red.
Seeing Luo Chen lowering his head like an obedient baby, Ye Qingyi could not lose her temper even if she wanted to.
She looked at his pale face and realized that he was still sick. Her heart ached for him and she patted Luo Chen's head."
"Alright, I won't blame you. It's just that no matter what you do in the future, you have to tell me in advance. Otherwise, I'll be worried about you, understand?”
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Come, I've made some chicken soup for you. Drink it while it's hot to nourish yourself!”
"Yes! Thank you, sister!"
Luo Chen sat back down on the sofa.
At this moment, a piece of news was being broadcasted on the television. The 5th NPC Cup Kuaiqi Competition would be held on April 25th at the DJ.
At that time, there would be amateur players from more than 50 countries participating in the competition. The higher-ups of Japan attached great importance to this competition!
"Neptune Cup…Sister, what is Neptune Cup?”
Luo Chen asked because he noticed that Yukihiro Taji and Xufang Seiki were on the news.
This made him very curious!
"The NPC is a Go tournament in Country R. It's a top-level tournament for amateur players from all over the world. Each country can only send one amateur representative to participate!”
"Amateur player? Can amateurs also participate in international competitions?”
Luo Chen was stunned.
Ye Qingyi smiled and said,"
"Of course, don't underestimate amateurs! Because of the age limit for applying to be a professional player, many people didn't become professional players at the corresponding age, so they became amateurs!”
"There are also very strong amateurs. For example, I know a well-known entrepreneur. He is an amateur player, but his Go skills are not even comparable to professional players!”
"In reality, very few people can play more than a hundred moves against him. He has a nickname called Hundred Hands Kill!”
" Hundred Hands Kill…But there are only a few of them. For such a big competition, it's really…"
Luo Chen didn't think much of it. In his opinion, the real experts were all professional Go players. The so-called amateur players were just bragging.
If one were to say the strongest, then of course, it would be those who did not play Go!
Because I don't play at all, you don't know my level!
This way, I will always be the strongest!
This was the legendary All Mouthy King!
Ye Qingyi shook her head and said,"
"Luo Chen, you're wrong. Even though it looks like the real experts are all professional Go players, you have to know that amateur Go players are the foundation of the Go industry!”
"Only when there are enough amateurs and they are flourishing enough will the professional players be able to select more talents. Only then can the industry develop healthily.”
"As for amateur competitions, they are getting more and more popular every year!”
Ye Qingyi explained, and Luo Chen's entire body trembled. He felt that what his sister said made sense. It was never the top of the pyramid that determined whether an industry would prosper or not, but the bottom of the pyramid!
After drinking the chicken soup, Luo Chen felt his entire body relax. As he lay on the bed to recuperate, he took out Honinbo Hidesaku's Go manual to study.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was amazing. As he continued to study it, he unknowingly entered a dream.
……
In the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed. During this time, Luo Chen's entrance exams were about to begin.
Luo Chen was among the best in this exam, scoring three hundred points.
Ye Qingyi immediately rewarded him with a thousand dollars for this, letting him buy whatever he wanted. At the same time, she also agreed to Luo Chen's request to enter Ye Lai High School.
However, this wasn't the happiest thing for Luo Chen. The happiest thing was that it was finally summer vacation.
What should I do during this summer vacation?
Luo Chen actually felt like there was nothing to do!
However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the television. On the television screen was the most popular match in Country R!
Nec Cup, Fast Chess Competition!
"A competition for amateurs?"
"Then I'd like to see how strong you amateurs are, and if you're really as strong as big sister says!”
With that thought in mind, he walked out of the room and headed towards the Internet cafe.
He had heard from his sister that online Go was pretty good nowadays. Many amateur players would choose to play online!
Even professional players would sometimes choose to play online!
