Chapter 35 My name is Li Xiangping
Li Xiangping was very happy after defeating "3304" 3-0, but he also knew that "Jueyi" would definitely become famous.
From now on, "Jueyi" will become an internet celebrity on Qingfeng.com, and not a small internet celebrity, but a genuine star internet celebrity.
You have to know that before these three games, "3304" had just defeated "Long Feihu", so "Jueyi" is greater than "3304" and greater than "Long Feihu". This is simply a perfect logical chain. Li Xiangping believes that if he were also an ordinary spectator, then after watching the game this afternoon, he would also have such a concept in his mind.
After thinking of "Long Feihu", Li Xiangping actually went to the website lobby to check if this former internet legend was still there. He found that "Long Feihu" was still online. Not only was he still online, Li Xiangping even saw chess fans shouting "Jueyi and Long Feihu play a game" in the chat box in the lobby.
At the beginning, there were only a few such words, but after a short while, this sentence flooded the screen.
Li Xiangping chuckled. He was not going to pay attention to this at first. After all, it was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and there would be a competition between "Yipintang" and "Leimeng" in the evening.
However, what Li Xiangping did not expect was that after a short while, "Long Feihu" actually took the initiative to request a game with him.
Looking at the words "Long Feihu has sent you a game request, do you accept?" Li Xiangping thought about it for a moment, then smiled and pressed the reject button.
Of course, he knew that if he accepted the invitation and won, the reputation of "Jueyi" would naturally become more famous. However, how should he put it? After his rebirth, Li Xiangping was not going to become an Internet celebrity. He thought that playing on the Internet to this extent was enough and there was no need to continue.
The former "Dragon Flying Tiger Myth" should be left as a beautiful story in the memory of chess fans. There is no need to destroy it.
However, considering that he knew who the real "Long Feihu" was, after choosing to reject the game, Li Xiangping still sent a message to the other party out of politeness:
"I'm sorry it's a bit late now. I have a game at 7pm. Let's play it another day if we have a chance."
"Oh, okay, who are you anyway?"
Li Xiangping opened his eyes wide when he saw the reply from "Long Feihu". This... Isn't it said that "Long Feihu" is very frugal and never speaks on the Internet? He actually spoke to me today?
Li Xiangping was in a playful mood: "Haha, now the whole world wants to know who you are. How about this, if you are willing to tell me who you are, then I will tell you who I am."
After sending this private message, Li Xiangping waited with a smile on his face. He wanted to see how the other party would react.
After waiting for about a minute, the other party replied , but the content was something Li Xiangping didn't expect:
"Your match tonight is the ring match between 'Yipintang' and 'Leimeng', right?"
"Yeah, how did Boss Long know that?"
"I've watched the games over the past few days. You play chess really well."
"Hehe, Boss Long, you're too kind. I just won a few games by luck. Maybe it's because my opponent's level is average."
"Average? You think your opponent is average! Do you know who the 'Lei Meng Zhuan Zhu' you defeated yesterday is?"
"Who is it?"
"Wang Lei, eighth dan."
"Wang... Wang Lei 8th Dan? Really!!!!"
In fact, up to now, Li Xiangping really didn't know who his opponent was yesterday. After all, no one had ever told him so far. Even in this competition, among the five games he won, he could only confirm one "Vaiśravaṇa", but he didn't know the true identities of the other four.
If someone else told Li Xiangping this, he would definitely think that the person was talking nonsense. But the one who said this was "Long Feihu", so he couldn't help but believe it. After all, Li Xiangping knew the true identity of "Long Feihu". They were both members of the national team and even one of the "Seven Little Dragons". So Li Xiangping thought that what he said should not be nonsense.
"Long Feihu" was probably very satisfied with Li Xiangping's reaction, and he immediately sent another message:
"Not only do I know who your opponent was yesterday, I even know who you will meet tonight. So, if I tell you who will play chess with you tonight, can you tell me who you are?"
Li Xiangping laughed when he heard this, and thought that this "Long Feihu" was quite interesting. This guy would rather betray his teammates but refused to say who he was.
"Who will come to play chess with me tonight?"
"If everything goes as expected, the first player to go on stage will be Yu Bin Jiudan. If you can still beat Yu Jiudan, there will be even more powerful masters to deal with you."
"ah!!!!!!"
After saying "ah", Li Xiangping didn't say anything else. After all, the amount of information he received in just a short while was a bit too much, and he needed some time to digest it.
After a moment of silence, the other party sent another message: "Okay, now I've finished speaking, it's your turn to speak."
"say what?"
"Now tell me who you are. Didn't we agree to exchange?"
Li Xiangping started to lie: "Hey, exchange? Did I promise you just now? Hey, Boss Long, those words just now...it seems like you took the initiative to tell me."
"Hehe, you guy..."
Li Xiangping's whining seemed to bring the two closer together, and "Long Feihu" continued:
"How about this, you probably don't know who this Korean chess player '3304' is, so how about I tell you who he is, and then you can tell me who you are."
"Who is this person?"
"Yes...don't try to play tricks on me. First, tell me whether you are willing to make the swap this time."
"Haha, I am willing to do so. I am willing to do so this time."
"The guy you just beat is Liu Changhe, 9th dan from South Korea."
"Ah!!!!!!!!! It's really Liu Changhe?! Impossible?"
In fact, when the game was just now, some people had already guessed that this "3304" was Liu Changhe. It was just because Li Xiangping had a preconceived idea that he thought Liu Changhe and "Long Feihu" were teammates in the Weiqi League , so it was unlikely that they would play chess online at this time.
"Long Feihu" continued, "Yes, it was Liu Changhe. I was just guessing when I was playing chess, but now I have confirmed that the man just now was indeed Liu Changhe."
Li Xiangping typed a line of words on the keyboard without even thinking: "Aren't you and Liu Changhe teammates in the Weiqi League? Then why are you playing chess online today?"
"That's because...Huh?! How do you know he and I are teammates in the Go League?"
At this point Li Xiangping also came to his senses and realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, but at this point he could only pretend to be cool:
"Hehe, as the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Anyway, I know that you and he are teammates."
The other party was silent, perhaps he was surprised that his identity was exposed, or perhaps he re-guessed the identity of "Jueyi" based on this sentence.
At this point, Li Xiangping felt that he could no longer communicate with the other party. After all, he was not familiar with the other party before, and it could even be said that he did not know him at all.
"Alright, Boss Long, I have something to do now and need to log off. Let's talk another day. 88, thank you for sharing so much information with me today. In return, I'll tell you who I am."
The other party finally came to his senses: "Who are you?"
"Boss Long, let me tell you, I am actually a teenager who has failed to get a Dan for three consecutive years."
“A young man who is striving for a dan?! You really are a young man who is striving for a dan!”
Li Xiangping smiled bitterly. Ever since he knew that the winners were Wang Lei and Liu Changhe, he knew that his identity must have caused a lot of speculation. Since he could no longer hide it, he might as well not hide it.
Anyway, Lao Shi's soul is inside his own body. Not to mention that outsiders would never guess this, even I am still a little confused about it.
"Yes, my name is Li Xiangping, and I'm 13 years old. But Boss Long, I told you my name because I trust you, so please don't tell anyone else."
When typing the last line, Li Xiangping actually laughed. He knew that this line of words had no effect. As long as he said this , whether he told "Long Feihu" or others, his identity would be known to everyone soon. However, all the so-called "secrets" seemed to follow this routine, didn't they? Therefore, Li Xiangping had no choice but to follow suit.
"Alright Boss Long, I really need to log off now, 88."
"88."
After logging off the line, Li Xiangping began to digest the information that "Long Feihu" had told him. Among all the information, the first thing he thought of was tonight's opponent, Yu Bin:
"Hey, my opponent tonight is Yu Bin? I just defeated Liu Changhe this afternoon, and I'm going to meet Yu Bin tonight? It seems that the two of them will start the five-game final of the 'LG Cup' in half a month, so how should I play against him tonight..."
As he was thinking about it, Li Xiangping suddenly remembered a game of Go that he had played against a Go AI in his previous life. Of course, with Li Xiangping's level in his previous life, the Go AI would have given him a handicap, and that AI was not even the top Go AI.
After thinking about the chess game, Li Xiangping suddenly had an idea, and when he thought of that idea, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiangping's mouth:
"Come on, come on, Brother Ding'an, I want to tell you something..."
