Lv Yuze was so angry that he howled in frustration.
Pan Jie, however, warned Zhang Bin, "Zhang Bin, you're breaking the rules by doing this."
There's a time limit when playing Go. If one spends too much time thinking in the early stages, there will be no time left to consider moves carefully later on, making the likelihood of losing very high. That's why no one in a match rushes their opponent.
Zhang Bin then fell silent and continued to sip his beer, his gaze lecherously admiring Feng Banmei's assets.
"That Big Bad Egg really seems to be a Go master. How is that possible? Cousin, didn't you know about this before?" Zhu Danyan asked Su Man in surprise, whispering curiously in her ear.
"I had no idea. He's so mysterious and strange. Heaven knows how capable he really is," Su Man said with a coquettish pout, looking at Zhang Bin's back.
The many guests were just as astonished.
As for Chen Chaoyue and Ma Rufei, they were now puffing out their chests with pride.
Lv Yuze finally made up his mind and began to place his stones.
Zhang Bin, of course, responded according to Tutu's guidance.
The speed at which they placed their stones grew faster and faster, clearly because they had both thought things through. No, no, to be precise, Lv Yuze and Tutu had both finished their thinking and calculations.
Tutu's computational ability was naturally unmatched in the world. How could there be any mistakes?
So, after another thirty or so stones were played, Lv Yuze's expression changed drastically as the situation on the board turned dire. His prior advantage had vanished completely; Zhang Bin had practically turned the tables.
How is this possible? Is there really someone in the world who is better than me? Lv Yuze shouted angrily and incredulously in his mind.
But still, being such a formidable player, how could he admit defeat? Now he had to take the offensive. He was strongest in mid-game fighting. Moreover, the endgame was still to come, and he was a super expert in that phase of the game. He could practically create something from nothing and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Therefore, he remained unflustered and continued to play. His style became exceptionally aggressive, launching an assault like flowing mercury on Zhang Bin's white stones—utterly terrifying.
The Go board was shrouded in the smoke of battle, the killing aura soaring to the heavens. The black and white stones clashed fiercely, making it impossible to discern the victor.
One guest, a Go expert named Li Yongda, was now surrounded by people, all of them asking him in low voices.
"Brother Da, how's the battle going? Who's winning in the end?"
"Brother Da, tell me, does Zhang Bin have a chance to win?"
Li Yongda's brows knitted together tightly, and he said with a troubled expression, "Their level is too high. Every move is exquisitely crafted and completely unexpected. It's breathtaking. At this point, I still can't tell who has the upper hand. One moment it seems to favor White, the next it seems to favor Black. Anyway, a single mistake now would mean losing the game."
"My god, does that mean the King of Gamblers is also a Go master? Could he possibly challenge for the title of World Go King?" one guest said, biting his tongue in shock.
"You might be right about that," Li Yongda said excitedly. "Although I can't see the outcome yet, Zhang Bin's skill is so terrifyingly high that one could say this is one of the most brilliant games in history. It could stand alongside the legendary Blood-Vomiting Game and will surely be passed down through the ages. I'm so lucky to witness such a historic match with my own eyes. I'm just so lucky."
The guests were even more shocked. Each one bit their tongue, their faces flushing red as they looked at Zhang Bin, who was still drinking beer and eyeing the beautiful women, completely at a loss for words.
Zhang Haijun, ever so clever, had naturally squeezed his way to Brother Da's side early on. Hearing these words, he muttered to himself in awe, Turns out Brother Bin is way more incredible than I ever imagined. He doesn't need my help at all. I've been worrying myself sick for nothing.
As for Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue, their faces were filled with excitement and thrill. Having followed Zhang Bin for a long time, they knew his style: once he made a bet, he was bound to win. Could this time be the same?
Su Man and Zhu Danyan exchanged glances, still finding it hard to believe. That Big Bad Egg, how can he play so well? He's simply defying the heavens. It's too incredible. Could there really be someone in this world who knows everything without ever needing to learn? No, no, this isn't a person, but a demon.
The game continued. Lv Yuze was completely absorbed, never once lifting his head. Pan Jie, watching from the side, wished he could bury his head in the Go board. His face was a mask of excitement, shock, and ecstasy, for he was witnessing a truly brilliant game that was immensely enlightening to him.
So, Go can be played like this. So, there are such terrifying masters in the world. Is his brain a supercomputer? He hasn't made a single mistake!
Finally, the game reached its last phase. The endgame began.
Lv Yuze finally lifted his head. Looking closely, one could see that both his eyes had turned bloodshot. A chilling, murderous aura emanated from his body. He looked just like a wounded Lone Wolf.
As a true Grandmaster-level Go player, he knew all too well that, judging from the board, he was two points behind. This meant he was very likely to lose.
However, he was determined to make a comeback during the endgame, using his surgical-precision technique to claw his way back, bit by bit. Lee Chang-ho, a renowned Go player from Korea, was considered to have the world's best endgame skill. Indeed, he had once swept away the top Go players from China, the Island Nation, and Korea with that very skill.
Lv Yuze believed his own endgame skill was no less than Lee Chang-ho's—in fact, he felt it surpassed it. In a game like this, if Lee Chang-ho were playing, he would have an eighty percent chance of turning defeat into victory. And Lv Yuze, being stronger than Lee Chang-ho, was naturally one hundred percent confident that he could do the same.
He glared fiercely at Zhang Bin and said coldly, "I really underestimated you. I never expected you to be so good at Go. However, this is where it ends. Now, I'll let you see what a truly invincible endgame is. Watch how I beat you. Just you wait to dissolve your company!"
This is bad. Does Lv Yuze really still have a sure way to win? everyone thought, their expressions changing. They really didn't want Zhang Bin to lose. Too much was at stake.
"What a joke. Your endgame skill is invincible? That's only because you hadn't met me. Now that you have, you won't be able to do a thing. You'll realize you're nothing but a fart. Foul and disgusting," Zhang Bin said with a sneer.
PFFT!
HAHAHA!
Many people were amused by Zhang Bin's retort and burst into laughter.
Lv Yuze, however, was livid, his face ashen with rage. The murderous aura emanating from him grew even thicker.
He began the endgame! With a savage grin, he slapped a black stone onto a special spot on the board.
Suddenly, the situation transformed. The tide began to turn, and the black stones now had a chance to make a comeback
