Chapter 75: The Internet

It was mid-December, and the "Samsung Cup" round of 16 had ended for a week. On this day, Li Xiangping logged onto Lianzhong.com.
Hongqiao Wolong: "Bai Yi, is that you?"
The young man in white: "Haha, Boss Hongqiao, it's me."
Hongqiao Wolong: "Haha, Baiyi, you haven't been here for a while. Are you really... Li Xiangping, and 'Jueyi '?"
Li Xiangping, who was sitting on the other side of the computer, was delighted. In fact, Hongqiao, the leader of the "Beggar Gang" in Lianzhong, had known his true identity for a long time. It was just that things were different now. He had made it into the top eight of the professional competition, so it was normal for him to confirm it again on the Internet.
The young man in white: "Haha, it's more real than real gold. It's definitely me. What's the matter, Boss Hongqiao, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
Hongqiao Wolong: "It's really you, that's great. Baiyi, I want to ask, are you free recently? Can you participate in a few games online?"
Li Xiangping was happy again when he heard it. In fact, when he heard Hongqiao talking to him, he almost guessed that it was this matter, because in this era, it was definitely the golden age of the online world, and its flavor was definitely much stronger than in later generations. Many people believe that as a chess fan, if you have not tasted the taste of the gang life in Lianzhong in these days, you have definitely not experienced what the real online Go life is.
However, for Li Xiangping now, he is not very interested in Hongqiao's invitation. After all, he has lived two lives and is not very interested in being an Internet celebrity. What's more, after the first two games, he is now thinking about upgrading his plug-in to make up for the shortcomings. Li Xiangping believes that if he only plays online chess, it will not be of much significance to Lao Shi.
After all, the weakness of the great chess master Shi Da lies mainly in the modern layout, while the role of online chess is mainly to maintain proficiency in chess.
However, out of politeness, Li Xiangping still asked:
The young man in white: "I do have time, but Boss Hongqiao, I still have to go to school. I can't guarantee whether I have time to play chess in the evening. By the way, can I ask what the game is? From what you said just now, it seems that there will be several games to play."
Li Xiangping was not lying. After finishing the competition with Mr. Kato, he entered the school where Cai Shanshan studied the next day and became a second-year junior high school student again.
Being a middle school student in school in the morning, and training at the Chinese Chess Academy in the afternoon or evening, this is his daily routine in the past week. However, his home is in the North Third Ring Road, the Chinese Chess Academy is in the old Chongwen District, and his school is in Haidian District, so to be honest, he can't guarantee that he can catch up with the game every night.
Hongqiao Wolong: "Haha, this is the first Lianzhong Online League organized by our Beggars' Sect, so there may be a lot of games."
Young man in white: "Oh, it's the league..."
Li Xiangping vaguely remembered that around 2000, Lianzhong actually organized such a competition.
Young man in white: "Which teams are participating?"
Hongqiao Wolong: "In addition to our Beggars' Sect, there is also Butterfly Valley, Snowy Peach Garden, Cangjian Villa, Yilin Family, and yes, Liangshan and Qiantang Gang..."
Every time Hongqiao called out a name, it brought back a fond memory for Li Xiangping, because he was quite familiar with these gangs, and even had his alias in more than 80% of the gangs, especially the "Snowland Peach Garden" and "Cangjian Villa", which were strictly speaking branches of the "Beggar Gang".
"Cangjian Villa" is mainly composed of Qilu . The owner's online name is "Sword Maniac", and he has many masters under him. Look at their online names: "Cold Blade", "Cold Sword Light", "Blood Without Trace", "Heart-Piercing Halberd", "Moon Without Light"... In short, all of them are murderous.
Compared with "Cangjian Villa", what impressed Li Xiangping more was "Snowland Peach Garden", because the leader of this gang was a girl, a real female chess fan, and the names of the Snowland disciples were all female names: Huang Rong, Zhi'er, Bingxue'er, Lin Qingxia, Maggie Cheung, Xue Qian... which complemented the Cangjian Villa.
Especially when participating in the first online league, Li Xiangping was deeply impressed by a limerick written by a talented female chess friend from "Snowy Peach Garden" and he has not forgotten it for more than 10 years.
The poem is as follows:
The wind swept away the remaining clouds for ten thousand days.
The flower stands out among the bushes.
The sword Xuewu Manye was unsheathed.
The moon can also be cut in half!
The clouds reflected on the surface of the water, and the purple air was warm.
You must look up to see the jade tree on the cliff.
Red hurricane rolls Lianzhong.
The fragrance is everywhere in Taoyuan!
This is an acrostic poem, and “wind, flower, snow, moon, rosy clouds, jade, red and fragrance” happen to be the eight masters of “Snowy Peach Garden”.
Of course, don’t think that someone with a female-sounding online name must be a female chess player. For example, the “Lin Qingxia” mentioned here, Li Xiangping knew him in real life. He was a young man who was trying to become a chess master at that time, and later he became a big man.
Hearing the first part only brought back memories for Li Xiangping, but when Hongqiao announced the names of the last two gangs, it caught Li Xiangping's attention.
Young man in white: "Oh? Will Liangshan and Qiantang Gang also participate this time?"
Hongqiao Wolong: "Yes, these two gangs have been very popular recently, especially this Liangshan. Baiyi, let me be honest with you. I think the biggest threat to us in this league may be this Liangshan, so I thought of asking you to play a few games of chess to support the Beggars' Sect."
The young man in white: "Haha, I am not qualified to lead the charge against Liangshan."
Li Xiangping was not being modest. To be honest, in the online world, Li Xiangping had never seen a gang as powerful and prestigious as Liangshan, or as deeply rooted in the foundation of Chinese Go. You may not see many people from Liangshan on a regular basis, but if the organization needs it, you will find that many gang organizers and active members around you, talented people on the forum, and some well-known national players have transformed themselves into Liangshan heroes and appeared in front of you.
The young man in white: "Boss Hongqiao, how about this? I may not attend the matches against other gangs, as I have time. But for the matches against Liangshan and Qiantang Gang, please inform me in advance when the matches are. I will definitely attend these two matches ."
After all, "Jueyi" has a certain status on the Internet, so after hearing what Li Xiangping said, Hongqiao Wolong hurriedly said:
"Okay, okay."
Li Xiangping further requested, "Oh, by the way, Boss Hongqiao, when the game comes, please help me keep an eye on these two vests. One is Liangshan's 'Big Knife Guan Sheng', and the other is Qiantang Gang's 'White Paper Fan'. If they don't send these two people, then forget it. But if they do, then please leave these two opponents to me."
Hongqiao Wolong: "Okay, okay... Hmm? Baiyi, do you know who these two people are? Who are they?"
The young man in white: "Hey, I know a little bit, but it's not convenient to tell you now. I'll tell you during the game."
Li Xiangping, who has lived two lives, of course knows who these two are. The "Big Knife Guan Sheng" of Liangshan is Lao Nie, while the "White Paper Fan" of Qiantang Gang is Ma Xiao, the former "Nie and Ma Heroes" of Chinese chess.
Li Xiangping believes that at this stage, if one wants to improve Lao Shi's layout level, only these two have the qualifications and ability to do so.
At this stage, learning from the two of them might be more effective than training at the Chinese Chess Academy. That's why Li Xiangping wanted to play these two games.
