Rebirth of the God of Comics

It has been more than a month since Chen Ze launched "Soul of Chess", and the sales volume of "Manke Weekly" is increasing step by step.

The sales of "Manke Weekly", which had plummeted due to the end of Chen Ze's "Slam Dunk", rose again step by step because of "Soul of Chess".

Although it hasn't reached the peak of "Slam Dunk", it is already about the same level as the average.

The fans around also began to mention Sawei Jing Tengguang and so on. In order to understand Chen Ze's chess game, they became interested in Go one by one.

Chen Ze's original purpose of drawing this comic has begun to be realized.

Huang Qi was still staying in G City. Seeing this situation, he discussed with the G City Chess Institute, planning to strike while the iron is hot and hold a youth amateur Go tournament to promote Go.

At the same time, they also invited Chen Ze, hoping that Chen Ze could be the guest. Because Chen Ze has huge popularity, his presence can bring enough attention to this competition.

Chen Ze thought about it when he received their invitation. He had many things to do. However, this competition is only held on Saturday afternoon, and I can still spare this time.

And after all, this cartoon of mine was also entrusted by the Huaxia Chess Academy, so I should still participate in their activities. Therefore, in the end Chen Ze agreed to attend this Go amateur competition.

Huang Qi was overjoyed after receiving Chen Ze's affirmative answer, and immediately included the news of Chen Ze as a guest in the promotional activities of this amateur competition.

"Chen Ze is going to attend this amateur competition!"

There is no need to say more about Chen Ze's popularity in City G. Therefore, as soon as the news that he was going to be a guest of the amateur competition came out, it immediately spread throughout G City.

City G, which was originally heated up by the "Soul of Chess" go game, has now become more interested in this competition.

Saturday came quickly, and Chen Ze arrived at the building where the Go match was held at one o'clock in the afternoon according to the time agreed with Huang Qi.

When he came here, he was startled by the crowds inside.

Huaxia was not originally a country with a high atmosphere of Go. Even if they have recently become interested in Go because of their own "Soul of Chess", there are not so many people.

In fact, most of these people did not come to play Go, but because Chen Ze seldom attended such public events, so they all came to see Chen Ze.

Under the leadership of the chess academy staff, Chen Ze walked into the backstage through the small door next to him. With Chen Ze's current popularity, if he appeared directly in front of the public, today's competition might not be able to go on.

"Brother Chen, you are here." Huang Qi came over and said, after getting along with each other for this period of time. The relationship between the two has become very good, as can be seen from the address.

"Brother Huang." Chen Ze greeted Huang Qi with a smile.

"I know you're very busy, so I'm sorry to trouble you here today, but our game starts in five minutes, so I won't waste your time," Huang Qi said.

"Brother Huang, this Go competition can be regarded as a promotion for my "Soul of Chess". How can I not come." Chen Ze shook his head and said.

They chatted for a while, and the game just started.

"Welcome everyone to take part in this amateur Go tournament held by our G City Chess Institute in your busy schedule." The host said the opening speech at the front, and after a bunch of high-sounding words: "Okay,

Next, we invite the popular cartoonist Chen Ze to come on stage and say a few words to us. "

Chen Ze had been greeted a long time ago, and he was going to speak on stage this time, so he had already made preparations.

"Today I am very happy to see so many people here participating in this competition." Chen Ze took the microphone and said, "Everyone knows that Go is an invention of our Chinese ancestors, but in recent years, we have repeatedly Goryeo, who has been taught by us, can't defeat it."

"I think this is not only a shame for their professional chess players, but also a shame for every one of us in China. That's why the comic "Soul of Chess" came about."

"But if I want to turn around, it's not just one of my comics that can be successful. It needs the joint efforts of all Chinese people. I am very happy. Today I have seen this kind of effort and I have confidence."

"So, I hope that everyone can participate in this kind of activities more in the future, and support our Go community more."

Chen Ze's words aroused a burst of applause from below. Many people were also upset that our majestic China would lose to a small country like Goryeo.

Many of the participants in this amateur competition were children. Although they didn't understand the meaning of Chen Ze's words, they also liked watching Chen Ze's "Soul of Chess", and then fell in love with Go.

Looking at the many immature faces below, Chen Ze also knew that the future of Huaxia Go lay among them.

The game finally started because it was an amateur game. There is no age group, and many children's opponents are adults. They all imitated the way the people in Chen Ze's "Soul of Chess" hold chess pieces. Although the level is not high, they look good.

To Chen Ze's surprise, he thought that children must be inferior to adults. But here, the children eliminated the adults one by one, and when it came to the finals, there were only two ten-year-old boys left.

The game between these two people was moved to the front stage and broadcast on the big screen.

The entire audience watched the game with bated breath, and Chen Ze did the same.

Although he didn't know how to play Go in his previous life, when he asked Huang Qi for advice in this life, his own Go level has gradually improved considerably.

Although he still can't compare with those masters, he can at least understand the chess game.

In his opinion, the chess skills of these two children are quite close, and they are both very powerful. Next, whoever is supposed to be more patient wins.

The fact turned out to be exactly as he expected, after more than half an hour of fighting, a child narrowly won by half a pawn.

The people on the field, including Chen Ze, were happy for the kid who won the championship, but they also secretly felt sorry for the kid who lost.

The next step is to present the awards. Chen Ze's task is to present certificates and certificates to the champions. When he announced it, the child who lost his son-in-law couldn't help crying.

This kid seemed quite competitive, and he was very unconvinced when he lost this time. Therefore, the one who cried was quite sad, and his parents' persuasion was useless.

Seeing this, Chen Ze went up to comfort him and said, "Today is just the beginning of your Go game. It's okay to lose. There's no point in crying. We have to think about how to win it back. This is for you. I hope you are like him. In the future, it will grow to the point where it can carry the entire Chinese Go world."

As he said that, Chen Ze took out a drawing, which showed Jing Tengguang, who was playing Go with a concentrated expression.

What Chen Ze didn't expect was that more than 20 years later, when a Chinese Go genius finally defeated the Koreans and won the highest honor of Go in the world, when he was being interviewed, he took out a drawing.

"My idol is Jing Tengguang. I hope I can be a chess player like him. But the one who influenced me the most is Chen Ze. Without his gifts and encouragement at that time, I might not be who I am later."
