Chapter 1225: 701: Placing the Stone at Tengen, Win or Lose, Decide Life or Death (Part 4)

The ultimate goal everyone pursues is the Empowerment for life extension.

If you want to extend your life, come contribute to City No. 10. Once you’ve contributed enough, you’ll naturally earn longevity.

In the Outer World Ocean City and Jingcheng, millions work tirelessly, pay taxes, and contribute to social security, all for a coveted residency status.

And in Inner World City No. 10, not only can you settle, but you can also extend your life.

Luo Wanya hesitantly said, “I believe many researchers would want to come, but the problem is… won’t the various conglomerates refuse to let them go? I’ve heard some high-tech talents can’t even get through the immigration gates.”

“We have the Key of Gate,” Qing Chen said meaningfully, “Actually, the Door of Shadow is more convenient, but I can’t command that big shot… The Key of Gate is enough.”

“Then how can we make the entire Federation believe that Empowerment really extends life?” Luo Wanya asked curiously, “It seems a bit hard to prove.”

Qing Chen smiled meaningfully, “I have an idea, but it requires some preparation — we need to set someone up.”

Midnight atop Ginkgo Mountain.

Qing Ji, clad in white hemp clothing, ascended the steps and arrived at the small cabin’s door: “Boss, I’m back. Everything is basically done.”

“Mm, come in,” the old man, who seemed not to require sleep, was still playing chess by moonlight.

On the Go board in front of him, a move had just been placed, and a black dragon lay in the center of the board, commencing from the Tengen.

Go has the saying of golden corners, silver edges, and grass belly; Tengen is the initial move placed at the board’s exact center, seeming advantageous, but actually extremely disadvantageous.

Qing Ji glanced and said, “Boss, giving him City No. 10 as this political center is no different from starting at Tengen; it seems advantageous, but in the future, it will be a place of contention, and he will be at a disadvantage. According to AI statistics, opening with Tengen decreases the win rate by about 6% compared to starting with star points.”

The old man rarely smiled, “You, a martial arts enthusiast, actually paying attention to AI statistical win rates.”

Qing Ji replied earnestly, “Trying to win a game against you. After 30 years of playing, I haven’t won a single one.”

The old man shook his head with a smile, “Unfortunately, you don’t understand change, you’re inflexible, only knowing how to fight. You say starting with Tengen is a bad move because when the board is empty, placing your piece dead center leaves it isolated. But you must understand, Qing Ji, the board I gave him was one I was already halfway through.”

The situation set for Qing Chen was not for him to start from scratch, but one the old man had already prepared.

Playing Tengen now is to settle the score, to determine life and death, to see victory and defeat!

“I’ve been on this game for over ten years. How many decades does one have in life?” the old man spoke softly, “It’s time to close the game.”

Qing Ji curiously asked, “Boss, do you think just handing him City No. 10, he’ll learn to govern? Isn’t three months too rushed? And will he continue to rely on Qing’s Family?”

The old man smiled, “I don’t know, Uncle Li, Li Xiurui, and Xiao Zhun have given him too much; I don’t know if he even needs Qing’s Family anymore… But so what? As I’ve said, wherever he is, that is the new Qing’s Family.”

“What about the chaos in the north, what’s your take?” Qing Ji asked.

“The overseas barbarians think they can trample over the Jindai cub; I fear they may get bitten back,” the old man took another piece from the Go bowl and placed it on the upper right corner, “Let’s first try to drive the wolves to swallow the tiger.”
