I am really a language teacher

Just when "No Deal or No Deal" was broadcast on New Asia TV, Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu appeared at Xingtan International Airport.Xingtan International Airport was finally upgraded to an A-level international airport this year, and has the right to take off and land regular international flights in East Asia.Although Xingtan International Airport was also called an international airport in the past, it was only the lowest level B-level international airport. It only had a few international flights, and they flew to some less developed countries.Although it can't be compared with an SSS-level international hub-level airport like Donghai International Airport, at least now Sun Ping doesn't need to transfer to Donghai if he wants to go to Japan or South Korea.

According to the announcement of Aurora Chess Academy, the first East Asian Three Kingdoms Newcomer Go Competition will be held in Jeju Island, South Korea this year.Like the earth plane, the South Korean government has built Jeju Island into a tourist city dedicated to welcoming tourists from Aurora.The local government even legislated to list Chinese as the second national language of the island, and the attitude of kneeling and licking is simply unnecessary.

However, Sun Ping was not surprised. Unlike the earth plane, South Korea did not experience the North-South division, and at the same time, there was no "de-Chinese movement".Although the official language of South Korea is Korean, the popularity of Chinese is as high as 90%, almost everyone can speak it.So Sun Ping felt that what Jeju Island did was just superfluous, but Sun Ping didn't make any special comments.

It takes about three hours from Xingtan to Jeju Island, so there is no first-class cabin on the flight, so Sun Ping had no choice but to choose the business class with wider seats.Because of going abroad one after another and choosing first class, Sun Ping has long been an svip user of the airline alliance.So as soon as he arrived at the airport, special service personnel took him and Ma Mingyu to the VIP lounge to wait for the flight.

As soon as Ma Mingyu sat down, he used his ipad to practice notation. Since he bought himself an ipad, his ipad only has two functions: notation and chess.Sun Ping checked Ma Mingyu's ipad, and there were only two frequently used apps on it.One is a stand-alone Go software, which can play against artificial intelligence or practice playing scores by yourself; the other is a Go game client developed by Aurora Chess Academy and 361 Go Channel.

Ma Mingyu named it "Young Man in Black 1996" on it, and he is currently ranked among the top five in the entire server.Because there are many young chess players playing on this platform, Sun Ping feels that this ranking is in line with Ma Mingyu's current state.Unlike Ma Mingyu, Sun Ping usually reads on his ipad, either reading a book or watching the news.Because he is going to South Korea to compete, Sun Ping must pay attention to the news of the Korean Go world.

As for dyslexia in Korean?For people like Sun Ping, it is enough to just exchange for a proficiency in Korean in the system.Now Sun Ping is proficient in Japanese, Korean, English, and Spanish. If it weren't for the fact that Russian and Arabic are useless, otherwise Sun Ping would have exchanged them.Just as Sun Ping guessed, the last few years have been the peak years of the Korean Go world, so the Korean Go world is generally not optimistic about the players from Japan and Cathay.

But Sun Ping also thinks this is a matter of course, whether it is the World Cup Go Championship or the Asian Go Championship, the South Korean team is the champion.In the title battle between the three countries, South Korea also took away all the transnational titles.In particular, Lee Jung-ho, a great Korean chess player, unified the celebrity and Tianyuan titles of the Three Kingdoms by himself. He also holds the title of Chess Master in Japan and South Korea. Only the title of Chess Master in Zhenhan was taken away by Li Zhenghao's master Cui Enming.Although Li Zhenghao will definitely not participate in a competition like the rookie king, but this time the rookie king will have Li Zhenghao's junior and Cui Enming's close disciple-Park Zhenhai participating.

Sun Ping searched for information about Park Zhenhai on a Korean search engine, but Sun Ping was stunned by the news.The Korean Chess Academy believes that Park Jinhai is the third generation of chess gods in South Korea after Li Zhenghao, and believes that he will replace Li Zhenghao to dominate the global Go world in five years.However, Park Zhenhai's performance really surprised Sun Ping. Although Park Zhenhai is only a 19nd tier chess player at the age of [-], if you think that he is only a [-]nd tier chess player, it is obviously to underestimate him.He is not only the title winner of the Korean Rookie King, but also the double champion of the Korean Youth Go Championship and the Asian Youth Go Championship. He has entered the finals of the three major challenger qualification competitions in Korea and is very likely to become the youngest in Korean history. title challenger.

"It's really a difficult opponent." Sun Ping put the ipad into the bag.

Under the guidance of the service personnel, Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu took a special passenger car to the apron.The Jeju Island route is a typical low-cost flight. There are various discounts in economy class, so business class tickets are basically not sold, and most of the time they are used by airlines to entertain frequent passengers.As long as you have enough points, the airline will immediately give you an upgrade service on the Jeju Island route.So not long after Sun Ping took his seat in the business class, he heard a burst of excitement, and several young girls happily ran into the first class.

There was a burst of amazement at first, and then they all took out their phones and started taking selfies.Regarding the actions of these girls, the flight attendant could only apologize to Sun Ping with a very embarrassing smile.Sun Ping didn't care. He had encountered all kinds of weird things on the flight, let alone the excitement of a few young girls.Sun Ping put on sunglasses and a mask, then put on earplugs and a neck pillow.Ma Mingyu obviously also had experience, and also took out the eye mask, earplugs and neck pillow.

The three-hour flight passed quickly, but because Jeju Island International Airport is located by the sea, the plane encountered a little trouble when it landed.The violent turbulence caused screams in the cabin, but the plane finally landed smoothly.Since Jeju Island exempts the citizens of Cathayland from visas, Sun Ping took Ma Mingyu off the plane first and then went straight to the taxi stop outside the airport.

Koreans still attach great importance to this rookie king event. The event will be held at the High School Affiliated to Jeju University next to Yongduam, and the rest location will be at the Shilla Hotel in Jeju.In terms of luxury, Shilla Hotel is not outstanding.But when you think about the Shilla Hotel's reputation as the second state guest hotel in Korea, you know that the symbolic meaning of this hotel is even greater.

The taxis at Jeju Airport are basically large SUVs, so it was easy for Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu to put their luggage on them.After driving for about an hour, Sun Ping and his colleagues finally arrived at the Shilla Hotel in Jeju.At this time, several media outlets had already gathered outside the hotel, and Channel [-] and Channel [-] of KBS, the largest TV station in Korea, had arrived at the scene.MBC Jeju Channel, an alliance channel of Culture Broadcasting MBC, and Jeju International Channel Jibs, an affiliate channel of Seoul Broadcasting SBS, also have interview vehicles here.Of course, the Korean Go channel KGC, which claims to be the number one in Asia, even set up a live broadcast point here.

Since the partner media of this East Asian Three Kingdoms newcomer Wang Zhan is the Korean Go Channel, Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu had to accept their interview after registering in the hotel.Fortunately, Sun Ping's Korean is good, so the reporter from the Korean Go Channel interviewed Sun Ping very pleasantly.

As a media person, Sun Ping naturally knows how to speak well.Anyway, when it comes to the twists and turns of speech, a hundred Koreans combined can't compare with a Cathayman.The South Korean reporter got a lot of needed materials from Sun Ping, and very politely let Sun Ping go.Sun Ping and Ma Mingyu went to their respective rooms, and their luggage had already been brought up by the porter.

According to the event plan, today is the sign-in day, and tomorrow is the media day, and everyone has to attend the press conference.The day after tomorrow is the official game day, and the venue of the game is the Go Club of the High School Affiliated to Jeju University.Sun Ping looked at the materials, and found that the facilities of this junior high school Go club are very complete. In addition, all the volunteers for the competition will be served by this group of junior high school students and students from the Jeju Gentleman High School next door.It seems that the Koreans have great ambitions in the field of Go, and I hope they will continue to inform them in the next few decades.

Because there was no time difference when he came to Korea, Sun Ping watched the TV station out of boredom.The three major Korean terrestrial TV stations, Korea Broadcasting Corporation, Culture Broadcasting Corporation, and Seoul Broadcasting Corporation, all broadcast the rookie king battle on the hour; on the cable TV station, except for the Korean Go channel, which is continuously broadcasting, the five major news channels Central Toyo Broadcasting Corporation (jtbc), Mainichi Broadcasting (mbn), East Asia News (la), Chosun News Channel and Yonlian News Channel (ytn) also took out a certain period of time for broadcasting.It seems that the Koreans are determined to win the championship of this competition. Otherwise, if they spend so much time to broadcast, if they don’t win the final rookie king, wouldn’t it be ridiculous?

In this Three Kingdoms Rookie King Battle, each of the three countries selects newcomer Go players with a domestic rank below the third dan and under the age of 20 to participate. The host can get one more place.So a total of 16 people participated.The game adopts a knockout match of best of three games, and there is no rematch.The first round is protected by nationality, but there is no protection after the second round.In terms of numbers, the Koreans have the advantage of being the host country and have one more player to participate, so the advantage of South Korea is naturally more obvious.

Moreover, according to the information of Zhendan Chess Academy, the Korean chess players participating this time are known as the "golden generation" within the Korean Chess Academy.Some people in the Korean Chess Academy even said that with the existence of this generation, South Korea can dominate the world chess world for at least 20 years.Sun Ping smiled, the Korean style of chess is indeed suitable for modern competitive Go.But the Koreans also underestimate the country of Cathay and Japan. One of these two countries is the origin country of Go, and the other is the founding country of modern Go. The history of Go in both countries is several times the history of Go in Korea.Since people can persist for such a long time, it means that their background is still there.Temporary victory or defeat can't decide anything, as long as the foundation is still there, it's only a matter of time before the comeback.

However, Sun Ping was still very interested in that Park Jinhae. He was thinking, if he killed this future Korean star, would Li Zhenghao and Cui Enming behind him also have a match with him?If I can kill the so-called invincible master and apprentice in South Korea on the chessboard, I wonder if the Koreans will continue to brag about their Go?Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Sun Ping's mouth.

Sun Ping turned off the TV, then went to the bathroom to take a shower.After taking a shower, Sun Ping changed into loose clothes and went downstairs to exercise in the gym attached to the hotel.This is also one of Sun Ping's recent good habits. After all, long-term aerobic exercise is good for the body and the brain.

Go, in particular, consumes a lot of brain power. Many veteran players must bring an oxygen bottle to solve the hypoxia caused by excessive brain use.You must know that once the brain is hypoxic, both computing power and judgment will decline. These are very fatal problems for chess players.But Sun Ping didn't have these problems, it was all done by relying on daily exercise.
