I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

The representative looked up, wanting to see who was on the opposite side, but could only see the Go game on the computer screen and Ke Bao, 9th rank, who was present as both a referee and a recorder.

After a long silence.

Following the long-awaited command in his headset, the representative played another move and waited for the response from across the board.

His heart carried a trace of apprehension.

And this time. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The response from across came very quickly!

At the critical moment in the game, the black stones faced the meticulously arranged iron wall of white stones and placed a decisive piece.

Move 147, "cut!"

This move was like a Heavenly Flying Immortal, ethereal.

And at that moment.

Time seemed to stand still.

The representative realized the silence on the other end of his headset instantly, followed by bursts of exclamations from the researchers:

"The winning probability is plummeting!"

"With each recalculation, the winning probability drops further!"

"It’s as if the more Future Intelligence’s AI calculates, the more it finds the variations of this move, the more it discovers the unsolvability of this move!"

Hearing these exclamations in his headset.

The representative immediately understood how powerful the black stone’s move to "cut" was.

And Ke Bao, 9th rank, sitting opposite him.

At this moment, he too was holding his breath, his eyes seemingly sparking with boundless light.

He stared intently at the game on the screen.

He couldn’t even help but stand up and move closer to the representative who was holding the mouse.

"Can you ’cut’ here...?"

Ke Bao, 9th rank, murmured with widened eyes.

In this move, the black stones adopted a rare and bold "cut" strategy, directly infiltrating the white stones’ seemingly impregnable defense.

Like a sword thrusting straight to the heart, it instantly changed the atmosphere of the game.

This move not only cut off the connection between the two sides of white stones but also created a delicate ko fight. More significantly, it forced white to make a tough choice between maintaining the life of its large dragon and fighting for the corners and sides.

Most importantly, this move seemed to have been prearranged and then appeared at this most critical time in the most critical place.

Ke Bao, who finally understood the move after a long while, was stunned.

And in the adjacent rest room, many professional chess players who had stayed to watch the game were equally astonished by this move.

All ninth ranks themselves, they began to vaguely discern part of the profound depth of the game after carefully watching for a while.

This move of black was like thunder on the Go board, causing awe among the observers for its precise judgment and boldness.

As this move was played, the balance of power on the Go board was completely upset.

And the game that followed was the same.

Black cleverly used the chain reaction triggered by this "cut" to gradually erode white’s territory while consolidating its own advantage.

In the following exchanges, black pressured step by step, and the control of the game completely shifted to black.

White, on the other hand, was forced to play defensively, and the commands from the Future Wisdom Control Company representative’s headset became slower and slower.

Until after a long while.

An instruction to "resign" came through the headset.

Future Intelligence’s AI judged that victory was no longer possible, so it chose to resign.

This made the representative, who initially believed in their inevitable victory, shudder.

Although it was anticipated, this instruction still left him in disbelief and struggling to accept it.

Mechanically following the command to resign.

He still felt as if he were in a dream.

They had lost?

He looked up at the cold computer screen displaying "defeat."

Then looked at Ke Bao, 9th rank, who was still immersed in the finesse of the black stones.

The representative fell silent.

He had never considered the possibility of losing!

Surely none of the major companies’ Go AIs could compete with their own Future Intelligence AI, surely after using a professional chess player as a stepping stone to stir up some popularity, they would directly challenge the world’s Go AIs and soar with their company.

But then...

Why could someone still beat them?

It was impossible!

This must be a new AI from some major company! It couldn’t possibly be a human!

The representative thought this, becoming more certain of his guess.

AI was now the sky of the Go World!

And man could not defeat the sky!

So, he immediately sent a private message to the other side asking, "Which major company’s AI are you from?"

He was convinced the other side was also AI; their reluctance to show themselves proved it!

The more he thought about it, the more confident he became.

As for this question.

There was silence from across for a while, then what seemed like a nonsensical reply came: "6."

This confused the representative for a moment.

He immediately asked further, "What do you mean?"

The other side clearly didn’t want to explain their response, so they replied quickly:

"What I mean is..."

"You’re weak, just practice more."
