I’m Really a Superstar-Novel2

Chapter 1276: Zhang Ye wreaks havoc on the Korean server!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

In the live streaming channel.

A crazy amount of comments scrolled past the screen.

"—You got recognized so quickly!—Hahaha, I nearly fainted from laughter—There's no one left for you to play—Just look at you, there isn't even a person who wants to play you—Even Chen Ying 8-dan has run off too, pfft—Aiyo, this is so amusing and funny—You've already been recognized yet you're still not admitting it. Teacher Zhang, why don't you have the air of a master at all?—Hahahaha—You're really too shameless, but I like that—Aiyo, this is the first time I'm laughing so hard at a gaming stream—Continue doing this, Teacher Zhang—When it comes to shamelessness, I will only take my hat off to you—"

Zhang Ye was also feeling somewhat helpless at this. He looked into the camera and threw his hands in the air. "There's nothing I can do about it if they don't wish to play against me. I probably played too many times against those professional players from the Qiyuan, so they've already gotten used to my playstyle and can recognize me very easily. Hai, what can I do about it?"

The few million viewers started suggesting ideas.

"Go to an overseas server—Yeah, head to the Korean server—That's a great idea—Hahahaha, you guys are too wicked—Lord Zhang, let's use our alts and head over to the Korean server. Your reputation as a Professional Korean Insulter is not for nothing—Yeah, we've never seen you play against a foreign Go player before—Hurry, hurry—I can't wait to see this—Let's flood the Korean server—Gogogo—Attack the Korean server—"

Countless people were commenting furiously!

All of them were clamoring for a game on the Korean server!

And there didn't even seem to be too many voices of objection with almost everyone agreeing emphatically!

Zhang Ye was encouraged by this. "You guys really just want to watch the world burn, eh? The Korean server? Alright, my brothers! Let's go and slay them all!"

…

On Weibo, it suddenly descended into chaos.

"Come and quickly see this!"

"Zhang Ye is playing Go!"

"He's about to head over to the Korean server!"

"Where's everyone at? If you come too late, there won't be anything left to watch!"

"Ah? Really?"

"I'll be right over!"

"Damn, now this I have to watch!"

"What? He's going for such a big play? Well done! I'm coming too!"

"Everyone, please spread the word! This is an event that won't happen for another 10,000 years. If you miss this one, you won't be able to see it ever again. Brothers, hurry!"

"Comedian Zhang is going for the kill!"

…

The number of viewers in the channel was soaring for the umpteenth time!

6 million!

7 million!

8 million!

This didn't only break Meihe TV's viewership record, it also broke the record of all the live streaming sites in the country. Even the one time a Heavenly King streamed for his first time, he only attracted about 7 or 8 million viewers. Further, from the looks of it, the number of people watching Zhang Ye's stream was still probably going to increase? It could still get higher? This was simply unbelievable! No one could have expected Zhang Ye's first livestream to be so popular!

Even Meihe TV's CEO was feeling a little guilty.

In the CEO's office.

Meihe's CEO was watching the constant increase in viewership numbers. He was wiping his sweat away as he quickly summoned his secretary and said, "Little Qi, go and tell IT to stop boosting the numbers. Don't overdo it. Isn't 5 million viewers a good enough number? Why did they boost it further to 8 million viewers? This statistic is so exaggerated that it might end up becoming a joke in the industry."

That secretary said in surprise, "But boss, IT did not boost up the numbers."

The CEO said in amusement, "Save it, how could there be so many viewers if the numbers weren't faked? Do you think that those Heavenly Kings and A-listers who came over back then really had several million viewers watching them? Bullshit! If the real numbers could account for one-third of the supposed viewers, it would already be very good! All of those statistics were boosted internally!"

The secretary hurriedly said, "Boss, IT really did not do anything. I was there all this while. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look for yourself. There isn't any time to boost the numbers at all. Everyone is so busy right now trying to keep the servers running. The channel already has over 8 million people watching, do you know how strained our server and network has become?!"historical

"What?"

"It's real!"

"Those 8 million viewers are all real people?"

"They're all real people!"

"Holy fuck!"

The boss was so shocked that he let out a curse!

…

In the livestreaming channel.

On the Korean server of the Online Go Server.

Zhang Ye wasn't aware of what was going on in the outside world as he was currently leading a horde of people who wanted to watch the world burn. The interface of the Korean server was basically the same as the Chinese server, with the same settings and controls. Except the text was in Korean, but that wasn't much of a difficulty as there were several million people watching the livestream. Even if you wanted to find someone who could understand eight national languages, it wouldn't be difficult at all, much less someone who could understand Korean. There would surely be some kind souls or students studying abroad who were willing to real-time translate for him!

"—Click on that. Yes, yes—That's the professional Go players zone, but your account rank is not high enough, so you can only watch, not enter the match room—Unless a professional Go player invites you to a match or challenges you—That won't work, we're on an alt account, they wouldn't bother with us for sure—Aiya, what do we do then?—I can't wait anymore, hahahaha—Everyone, try to think of something—Or why don't we look for a challenger—Right, let's look for someone to challenge—"

Rank restriction.

Password restriction.

Zhang Ye clicked around for a long time but could not find anyone to play, with most of the rooms being inaccessible to him.

So Zhang Ye listened to the advice of the viewers and said, "Alright, I'll look for someone to play. Can someone translate 'Are there any professional Go players who dare to exchange a few moves with me?'"

More than a dozen translators immediately typed it out into chat!

The Korean translation of the question he wanted to ask was already here!

Zhang Ye also laughed and said, "Look, just look at this everyone. The pros are all amongst the common folk. There's still a lot of talented people in China. Alright, I'm gonna copy and paste this in!"

He "shouted" into the public chat!

In Korean: "Are there any professional Go players who dare to exchange a few moves with me!"

In Korean: "Are there any professional Go players who dare to exchange a few moves with me!"

He spammed over a dozen of the same message!

However, everyone ignored him!

Quite a lot of the Koreans even laughed at it.

"Who's this?"

"How arrogant!"

"A professional Go player doesn't have time to play you!"

"What an idiot!"

"You're second-rate!"

Of course, these Korean replies were all translated back into Chinese for Zhang Ye. He couldn't be sure whether these viewers had added any of their own words and exaggerated what was being said!

You're second-rate?

Did Koreans speak in such a way?

I've never studied much, so don't try and trick me!

"—Hahahaha—Teacher Zhang is getting looked down upon—Teacher Zhang, how can you bear this? Ah? Even if you can bear it, I can't!—Get them, Lord Zhang—Lord Zhang, don't be afraid—No one wants to play you—Hur hur, no one even knows who you are. Lord Zhang, how can you take this lying down—"

Chat was laughing at and booing him!

Zhang Ye also found it a little embarrassing and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Ignoring me?

No one wants to challenge me?

I don't believe this!

Zhang Ye immediately found someone to translate another sentence for him and sent it out!

"The XX Sea belongs to China, challenge me if you disagree!"

"The XX Sea belongs to China, challenge me if you disagree!"

In this world, China and many of its neighboring countries also had territorial disputes over the seas and political conflicts. It was also a similar case regarding Korea and both countries had been arguing over such matters for many years.

The people on the Korean server sneered.

"Who is this person!"

"A Chinese?"

"Ignore him, let him shout all he wants."

"Everyone knows that the XX Sea belongs to us!"

"If your fishing boats intrude into our waters, we will definitely arrest them!"

When some of the Korean professional Go players saw these claims, they just took it in stride and laughed it off. They couldn't be bothered to get into a worthless argument with him as it would be meaningless.

But would Zhang Ye give up just like that?

Still ignoring me?

No one wants to step forward to challenge me?

In the end, Zhang Ye sent out some stunning claims and spammed thirty lines of it!

"Seoul belongs to China, challenge me if you disagree!"

"Seoul belongs to China, challenge me if you disagree!"

"Seoul belongs to China, challenge me if you disagree!"

The several million viewers in the channel erupted into laughter!

There were indeed some controversies between China and Korea!

But Seoul?

That is their capital, brother!

But it proved to be effective!

The Korean server exploded!

"Fuck!"

"Get him!"

"We cannot take this lying down!"

"Motherfucker, get him!"

"Seoul belongs to you? Why don't you claim that Busan is yours too!"

As a result, Zhang Ye spammed another claim: "Busan belongs to us too, challenge me if you disagree!"

The people watching the stream in China were bursting into mad laughter!

"—Aiyo, I can't take this anymore. I really can't take it anymore—Teacher Zhang, why are you such a joker?—There's really no one like you around—This fella really knows how to rile people up—"

The people on the Korean server burst into an uproar and took it up with him!

"Are you provoking us!"

"This is pushing it too far!"

"I'll challenge him!"

"I'll do it!"

"Let me do it!"

Many of the Korean professional Go players also came out of their slumber in rage!

Message:

Li Shinchi has sent you a challenge!

Song Jeonha has sent you a challenge!

Jeong Wonhwan has sent you a challenge!

A total of 200 challenges were received!

Zhang Ye smiled.

Look, they're all here now, aren't they?

He wasn't too familiar with the Korean Go world but had still heard of a few of their names. Like Li Shinchi 8-dan, he was one of the top 30 ranked players in the world of international Go!

It shall be you then!

He clicked and accepted the challenged!

At the next moment, Zhang Ye's account was taken into Li Shinchi's room by the program!

Li Shinchi 8-dan typed with a sneer: "Don't say that I am bullying you! I'll let you have a five-stone handicap! And make you scram from here the way you arrived!"

Someone translated it for Zhang Ye.

The spectators were already ready with their melon seeds and popcorn!

Zhang Ye replied: "Five stones?"

Li Shinchi said: "Yes! I'll give you a five-stone handicap!"

Zhang Ye immediately replied: "Alright, thank you."

The netizens watching the livestream were in stitches!

The scrolling comments galloped past.

"—Shameless! I've never seen someone as shameless as Zhang Ye—Five-stone handicap? Do you mean that you're giving your opponent that handicap instead?—Aiyo, Teacher Zhang, that's really enough. I'm dying laughing—Are you really serious? Where's your flair as the top player in the world?—You're letting Li Shinchi give you a five-stone handicap? Teacher Zhang, can you get any more shameless than this?—Hahahaha—Li Shinchi will be crying soon—If he finds out who he is facing, he'll definitely be in tears—Can't blame him, it's Zhang Ye who is too mean—That's right, this fellow really knows how to seize an opportunity to mess with others—This is gonna be interesting—"
