Chapter 751: Trend

Yu Feihang had never seen such a magical change. In a few days, the empty Go hall in Ninghai City suddenly increased dramatically and became the focus of everyone's attention. ∈♀

“…It’s amazing, this change is amazing!”

He sat in the inner room of a chess hall, and a professional chess player interviewed next to him said excitedly that he had said this several times in this brief interview, which showed his joy. The Go master suffered from a heart attack, and Yu Feihang even worried that he would suddenly get sick, so he was frightened during the entire interview.

The chess player in front of him was gray-haired and was already very old, but Yu Feihang knew that he was the first to stand up at the call of the Go Association and came to this chess hall for free to give lectures. Now most chess players in the Go world have put down their figures and helped in various chess halls, which has also attracted the attention of many media.

The old chess player is here to teach the simplest introductory courses of Go. From his mouth, Yu Feihang knew that he had disdained these basic courses in the past. All the disciples he taught were regular chess players who had already started, but now they are different. He is also very happy to teach ordinary people.

On average, he has to say the same content dozens of times a day, but the old chess player is still very happy. He teaches outsiders, and the people who come to listen are people who have never learned Go. In a few days, there are more students than he teaches in his whole life.

Although these ordinary people are unlikely to become professional chess players, it is a problem whether they can even become regular visitors in chess halls, but the trend they brought this time is too spectacular, and even people can see the rapid rise of the Go industry.

"I want to thank that young man... His name is He Xi, right? I must remember correctly. In Go, I must respectfully call him a teacher! The name of this teacher is actually true!" The old chess player slapped the table and said with relief: "What we have never done in our lifetime. He has done it for us. He is changing the world's perception of Go."

Yu Feihang quickly wrote down his words and asked curiously: "There are still many people in society who don't believe that He Xi can change the Go industry. Why do you believe in him so much? Or, have you known Teacher He Xi before?"

"No, I didn't know He Xi a few months ago." The old chess player shook his head and said with a smile: "When I first heard that the association was going to grab a comic, this incident made me feel particularly ridiculous. I don't believe in comics at all! But... look at this scene outside..."

He pointed to the chess hall, and the many young people who were playing chess and studying made his eyes full of light.

"It's incredible. These people who know nothing about Go actually come to Go because of a comic... I have never seen so many people come to the chess hall. This is a miracle. When I see this miracle, it's hard for me to not believe He Xi!"

"But these people will come over. Some people say it is because of the price reduction of the chess hall?"

"Barring, if the price is reduced, someone will come over. Do you think we won't cut the price soon? It's because of the price reduction. There is still no one here, so we will maintain the original price." The old chess player recalled the past. He was quite disappointed and continued: "The price reduction is just a lower threshold, but it is just a branch and leaf. The big tree that really attracts people - it's still the magical comic "Chess Soul"!"

"He Xi is an amazing young man. Since he can create a miracle craze, I believe he can maintain this craze. The serialization of "Soul of Chess" has just begun! It can continue to grow and then bear fruit in the future, changing the entire history of Go!"

The old chess player became more and more excited as he spoke. Yu Feihang looked at his face with a turtle and red face, and a thought flashed through his heart - "There is another believer in He Xi in this world."

There is no doubt that He Xi has many believers in the Go world by borrowing "Go". The more dissatisfied with the status quo, the more he will be after He Xi. Just like He Xi's "Detective Conan", he uses comics to change the survival and development of the industry, but this time it is obviously a bigger mess than last time.

The old chess player is right. The popularity of "Chess Soul" has just begun. As a long comic, it has a long serialization time, and even animations and other derivative works will appear. These things will continue to bring influence. Even if this craze is over, it will attract more people to learn Go in the future.

The emergence of "The Soul of Chess" symbolizes the arrival of the golden period of the Go industry. A comic that has been released for only more than a month has caused such a powerful impact, which no one has expected. Even Yu Feihang, the reporter who believes most, has not yet recovered from his shock after a few days.

This time the comics fermented too quickly and too strong! And since this year, He Xi has been setting off a wave, and he seems to be becoming more and more sharp in the eyes of the outside world.

The Go Association seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and at this moment, he took the initiative to send a request for further cooperation to the editorial department of Phoenix Company's "Weekly Boys" and Ye Xiong received this news - the Go Association wanted to add a guide to the introduction to Go in the next issue of "Weekly Boys" magazine.

"The Guide to Getting Started in Go..." Ye Xiong was a little hesitant. This guide is the basic introductory knowledge of Chinese Go. It is obvious that the Go Association wants to use the "Weekly Boy" to further promote Go. However, is this appropriate to attach a comic magazine to the introduction guide to Go?

"What do they say specifically?" Ye Xiong asked about the specific opinions of the Go Association, and Sun Yang, who was in charge of contacting this matter, looked happy: "They said that the cost of the "Go Beginner Guide" is all borne by them, and we will also pay additional advertising fees."

The cost of "Go Beginner's Guide" is provided by the Go Association, so that readers will not need to pay extra money when purchasing the next issue of "Weekly Boy", and there is an additional bonus, and the editorial department will also have additional income.

After hearing the details, Ye Xiong quickly nodded in agreement. "A Beginner of Go Guide" is not a banned book. It does not suffer any loss to Phoenix Company, and many readers will indeed be interested in it.

This cooperation is a win-win cooperation, with Phoenix and comic readers taking advantage. Although the Go Association spends a lot of money, it is also worth the money and can further improve the popularity of Go knowledge.

"The Soul of Chess is really an incredible comic..."
