MTL - Dad, Please Try a Little Harder

  Chapter 149 Amazing behind-the-scenes, cheating on money and power?

   "Is that Qian Quan really an amateur player, or is it a foreshadowing planted by some team?"

  A group of professional Go players, someone is asking.

   "Isn't he a chess player?"

   "Didn't he play Wing Chun?"

   "How do I remember playing basketball?

   "It was also on the hot search a few days ago and got 71 points?"

   "Are you talking about a person?"

   Soon someone shared videos and photos of Qian Quan fighting, playing chess and basketball in the group.

   "So, it's a person, then what?"

   "Afternoon!"

   "Contest?"

   "Wu a hammer, with my physique, he can kill me with one punch, of course it is better than Go."

   "He can win against An Xiaoyu and Mu Ziyun, which shows that his real level is at least around the sixth rank, and anyone with a sixth rank or above in the group can find him to play."

  Everyone was having a lively discussion, when suddenly a person left a message: "Everyone calm down, am I the only one who noticed that they used a newly launched app for this competition?"

"What's wrong?"

   "I downloaded the '39' and tested it myself. The software is really good and smart.

"But after I searched deeply to understand that APP, I discovered a secret. This 'Three Nine' and another chess app 'Two Nine' belong to the same series and company. Yes, this company is called 'One Nine' .

   "Then, I checked the information of this company on the Internet. Guess what I found?"

   "Speak straight up, don't hold back!"

   "Qian Quan is the director of this company, holding 5% of the shares."

"Then what?"

   "There is no more, this is the promotion and hype of product promotion."

   "You mean An Xiaoyu and Mu Ziyun cooperated with Qian Quan to hype?"

   "Otherwise, no one really thinks that an amateur player can win a professional six-dan?"

   "Then how did he win the chess master? The master also cooperates with his hype?"

   "Chess is different from Go, Yeluzi Xiangqi has a chance to beat professional players.

   "But Go, want to win two professional players in a row? Everyone is professional, do you think it is possible?

   "Unless he cheats."

   "Cheating? So many people watching the live broadcast, how to cheat?"

  Another chess player continued: "I asked An Xiaoyu and Mu Ziyun, they don't have a way of playing chess, but their skills are inferior to others."

   "I'm not talking about routines, I'm talking about cheating with technology.

   "If you don't believe me, go download 'Sanjiu' first, and then choose the guidance mode to try it out, and you will understand what I mean."

   After another half an hour, someone left a message saying: "I understand, Qian Quan used the '39' with a back door. He won against An Xiaoyu and Mu Ziyun according to the AI's guidance."

   "That's right, that's my inference.

   "Actually, as long as you study the chess game between him, Mu Ziyun and An Xiaoyu, and then study the app, it's not difficult to come to this conclusion.

   "Because he played with An Xiaoyu, his level of performance was just slightly better than that of An Xiaoyu, and when he played with Muziyun, his strength suddenly became stronger. This is exactly the logic of AI judgment."

   "I don't think so, isn't he afraid of being exposed when he does this?

   "If you tell such a big lie, once the car overturns, the whole set will collapse."

   "As long as he uses 'three nines', he will not lose, unless a chess player who can beat the AI ​​plays against him, but if he can beat the AI, it is reasonable to win him."

   "Then you don't need 'Sanjiu' or any app, just invite him to play offline."

   "That's why I haven't actually called him cheating yet.

   "Next, as long as he refuses to play offline, it basically confirms my guess."

   "You want to make an offline appointment with him?"

   "I'm not in Zhonghai, and I don't plan to go to Zhonghai recently. I hope the chess players in Zhonghai can help verify it."

   "Su Yanxin is in Zhonghai..."

  Su Yanxin 9th Dan, a famous Chinese Go player, the champion of the last Division A League and the runner-up of the Masters Championship.

   "He won't fight with Qian Quan. He won't have any reputation if he wins, and he will lose his reputation if he loses."

   "There are so many chess players in Zhonghai, there must be someone who will continue to challenge."

   "Look again, I don't want to be cheating, I like genius stories."

  …

  Just half an hour after the professional group finished chatting, similar doubts appeared on the Internet.

  The identities of the shareholders including Qian Quan were also picked up.

  The entry about Qian Quan cheating with AI quickly became a hot topic.

  In the Internet age, people like to do two things the most, making gods and pushing gods down from the altar.

  However, at present, everyone can only confirm the relationship between Qianquan and "nine out of nine", and cannot confirm whether Qianquan is cheating.

  Although, many marketing accounts and black public relations of competing products began to take the rhythm.

   "Everyone, don't listen to the wind and the rain. This kind of thing is easy to verify. Will it be clear in the next live broadcast?"

   "That's right, is it so difficult to admit that others are excellent?"

   "Even if it is to promote the APP, there is no need to do this. Such a lie that can be easily exposed, what is the plan?"

  …

   The two parties of questioning and justification, plus those who eat melons and watch dramas, have always been the three pillars of the online world.

  One Nine De Nine Company reacted quickly, and issued a statement immediately, acknowledging the fact that Qian Quan is a shareholder of the company.

  Then refuted the rumors of cheating, and said that the rumor maker will be held accountable.

  However, I don’t know since when, the statement has become less and less convincing, and sometimes it even has the opposite effect.

   Those who believe still believe, and those who doubt insist on doubting.

   And Qian Quan is training in the arena at this time.

   When I looked at my phone after training, I realized that many people had sent him messages.

  Papa, Ding Linlang, Qian Jiamin, Li Zihe, Li Zhiyi and so on.

   There was also someone in the chat group who posted screenshots of the news in the group, but for what purpose.

  Qian Quan didn't want to play the game of public opinion fermentation and reversal, so he replied to everyone's information first, and then directly sent a circle of friends:

   "Everything is boring, let's talk about it if you don't agree."

  Then sent a clarification short video, very concise:

   "Originally, such nonsensical rumors should be ignored, but seeing many friends being attacked for no reason for explaining for me, I decided to explain:

   "First, I am indeed a shareholder of Yijiu Technology. This is aboveboard information, which can be found online;

   "Second, accept offline challenges from all netizens who think I'm cheating, not limited to amateur occupations, not limited to rank, live broadcast, notarization, and reimbursement of travel expenses and catering expenses.

  “Third, I want to say something to those rumormongers. It’s sad that you think others can’t do what you can’t do.”

   This clarification video was also quickly transferred to Weibo, effectively suppressing the spread of rumors.

  Of course, the topic has become so heated, there are still many chess players who are willing to participate.

  For a while, at least a dozen professional chess players expressed their willingness to fight Qian Quan.

  Among them are professional eight-dan players.

   Li Zihe saw the news, discussed with Qian Quan, and planned to select three chess players from high rank to low rank among those chess players, and then play against the West Lake, which is called "sitting hidden in the West Lake".

  Turn self-certification into an elegant thing, and at the same time promote the company quietly.

  Qian Quan didn't care about the form, so he agreed.

  However, he is going to Nancheng to play a basketball game this weekend, and the Go game can only be scheduled for next week.

   After Li Zihyuk confirmed all the details with him, he released the process of the event through the official blog when he returned, including the media, live broadcast and invitation of referees, all of which adhered to the principles of fairness, justice and openness.

  Subsequently, invitations were formally issued to the three high-level chess players.

   Things have reached this point, and most of the rumors of cheating have been crushed.

  Now everyone is even more curious about whether Qian Quan can beat the eighth-dan professional players.
