“Didn’t he want me to prove myself? So I have to do just that so that he won’t talk nonsense anymore. Those people won’t be able to talk afterwards either,” Luo Lingxing calmly replied.
He felt that this matter was quite easy to deal with. Just as the OP said, facts were more powerful than words.
Chen Hongliang: … He suddenly felt that what Luo Lingxing said was reasonable and that he became speechless.
OP: Besides your skills from the entertainment industry, can you compete in anything else? Drawing, piano, chess, mecha production, martial arts, computer programming, etc. You can choose any of them, and we’ll send someone to compete with you. As long as you win, then I will admit that you are very powerful and agree with your remarks.
Zhao Zhuowen V: In fact, there’s no need to compete. You will definitely lose. Luoluo is a good child. If you let him choose, you will definitely lose.
As soon as Zhao Zhuowen appeared, many people were taken aback. Their subconscious were shocked. Fortunately, they were behind a terminal or else they would have been embarrassed by their shocked expressions.
But then again, why would Master Zhao appear here? This was a gossip post. No matter what, Master Zhao wasn’t the type of person to read stuff like this. Could this be Master Zhao’s secret hobby?
Zhao Zhuowen was unaware of how others were thinking about him. He’d heard that someone had challenged Luo Lingxing, so he came to take a look. When he saw the essay written by the OP, he couldn’t help but comment.
No one knew better than him how good Luo Lingxing’s artistic skills were. After all, when they were filming ‘The Enchantress’, Luo Lingxing had painted the painting himself. Nobody helped him. He took the painting home to study it, and now it still hung in his living room. Whenever he had a visitor, he would brag to them with the drawing.
The OP challenged Luo Lingxing, who was so skilled. It was so foolish, so he wasn’t worried at all.
“Damn, what’s going on? Why is Master Zhao here?” “And what does he mean that the OP will definitely lose?”
“Could it be that Master Zhao knows Luo Lingxing?” “No way. Aren’t the masters in the art world all very cold and arrogant? They don’t care to communicate with other circles, so how could he know Luo Lingxing?”
“Previous poster, Master Zhao is watching.”:
“…” Crap, I accidentally said the words I was thinking. What should I do? Master Zhao saw it. It’s a sure-fire way to seek death. Urgently waiting online for help!
“Hehe, is your face slapped now? Even Master Zhao said that our little prince is great. You still want to compete? Hurry up and go home and sleep.”
Everyone: … OP: Hello, Master Zhao. Are you saying this just to support Luo Lingxing, or has he made significant achievements in another field besides the entertainment industry? Even if that was the case, I had to see it for myself.
“Who do you think you are? Why do you have to see it for yourself? If Master Zhao says it’s true, who are you to disagree?”
The Luo-fans were very angry by the OP’s arrogant tone. Even Master Zhao had appeared to speak up for their little prince, yet this person still refused to give up.
OP: Master Zhao’s words naturally hold authority, but I think many people want to see Luo Lingxing’s other talents. This is a good opportunity. If he can prove to everyone, then wouldn’t it also help with his popularity?
“That’s right. If he’s really as great as Master Zhao said, then he shouldn’t be afraid. Come show everyone. In any case, aren’t celebrities supposed to give everyone a show?” “It’s not good to keep hiding.”
“I’m also very curious to see what other skills Luo Lingxing has besides acting. I heard he doesn’t have a system. If he can prove great achievements in other fields, then I’ll believe that you don’t have to rely on the system and you can do anything with hard work.”
Everyone started chatting in order to provoke Luo Lingxing to come out and take on this challenge. Luo-fans also added comments in support of their idol.
Luo Lingxing: I accept your challenge, but I need to finish shooting this film first. We can arrange a time after.
OP: No problem, we’ll work with your schedule. Which area are you choosing?
Everyone watched the live comments of this post nervously. Even those who had things to take care of put that aside to stare at this post. They were waiting to see how it would develop.
Luo Lingxing V: Let’s play Go.
Luo Lingxing thought about it for a while and finally chose Go. That was because in the four arts of qin, Go, calligraphy, and painting, he was best at Go. He didn’t like to lose, and since he was going to compete, it was naturally better to choose something he was familiar with.
Zhao Zhuowen was surprised by Luo Lingxing’s choice. He thought the other party would choose to paint. His painting skills were very superb, after all. If he’d chosen this, he definitely would have won.
In his memories, Luo Lingxing had never been a fretful child. If he chose to play Go, then it meant he must be skilled in it. He was suddenly looking forward to this competition even more.
“Oh, this kid didn’t choose painting, which he’s good at, and chose Go instead? Aren’t you worried about him at all?” An old man with gray hair stood beside Zhao Zhuowen and spoke with a smile on his face.
“Since he made his choice, I’m sure he’s not messing around.” Zhao Zhuowen chose to believe in Luo Lingxing. He became even more fond of Luo Lingxing. This child without a system was like a treasure, bringing him different surprises at every turn. He was really likable.
When he saw Zhao Zhuowen’s expression, the old man knew what he was thinking. He couldn’t help but say, “If this kid really is skilled at Go, then he’s a rare talent.”
“What?” “What are you saying? Who’s great at Go?” Another old man just entered the door and overheard his words. He eagerly asked.
Zhao Zhuowen rolled his eyes. He was speechless.
The old man who’d just entered was called Sun Li. He was usually rash, but he was a Go master. As everyone knew, the most important thing when playing Go was patience and calmness. Sometimes, it took a long time to think about the next move, so people without patience weren’t able to learn.
Anyone who saw Sun Li would think he wasn’t suited for Go, but as soon as he touched a Go stone and board, it was like he became a different person.
As far as the empire was concerned, nobody could beat him. Not only was he good at Go, he also loved people who were also talented. He liked to recruit them as subordinates and teach them.
“Luo Lingxing. Someone just challenged him online and he chose to play Go against them.”
The old man from before, Old Man Zhou, explained.
“Luo Lingxing?” Sun Li tried to recall if he knew this name. Suddenly, he realized, “Isn’t he the person who made the treasured painting hanging in your living room?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s him.” Zhao Zhuowen was extremely proud to hear talk of Luo Lingxing.
“Besides being good at painting, are his Go skills also good?”
“When the time comes, I’ll go and take a look.” Sun Li was really interested in playing Go.
If this had been the past and Luo Lingxing had been challenged, he wouldn’t have gone to take a look. However, ever since Zhao Zhuowen brought back Luo Lingxing’s painting and kept showing it off and bragging about him, he became interested in this young man. So he proposed they go together.
“Okay. Let’s go together then. It’s perfect since you can also be the referee,” Zhao Zhuowen said with a smile. He typed something and posted it online.
Zhao Zhuowen V: You don’t mind if I attend as one of the referees, right~
OP: Of course not. Then we’ll compete with Go. I’ll wait at the Imperial University for you to finish your film shoot. By the way, I have the Go system.
After the OP announced this, he immediately disappeared without reappearing. However, the comments became even more crazed than before. “OP is so shameless. He has the Go system and is going to compete with Luoluo in Go.”
“You can’t say that. Isn’t this perfect? Didn’t Luo Lingxing say the system is just a tool? If he can defeat a person with the Go system, then he can prove he was right.”
“Go system?” “Imperial University?” “Could OP be Qi Shaozong?”
“What? Qi Shaozong? Do you mean the Qi Shaozong who won the National Collegiate Go Championship?”
“My god. This is going to be a good show. I hope they will quickly announce their competition date. I’ll go to Imperial University to watch it.”
“I hope they’ll live stream it. I’m not in the Emperor Star, but I also want to see the results of this competition.”
“Tch. Is there even a need for this competition? One is a Go champion with a Go system, and the other is a little celebrity without a system at all. You don’t even have to guess who’ll win.”
“Not necessarily. The little prince definitely wouldn’t choose something he’s not confident in. I’ll attend the competition and cheer for him when the time comes!”
“I’ll also go and cheer him on. Previous poster, wait for me!”
“Me too! I’m going as well!”
“Me too +1.” Zhao Zhuowen read the comments and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. He glanced at Sun Li, who was obviously surprised.
“I really can’t tell.” Sun Li frowned, looking unhappy.
Learning Go was self-cultivation. Of course, challenging masters was also a method to improve oneself. But if someone used Go as a means of gaining money or fame, that was the opposite of the original meaning of learning Go.
These old men who intervened halfway in scrolled through the post. Only then did they know the reason for this game. When they read Luo Lingxing’s remarks, they were stunned.
For these masters who were good at art, at their age, what they valued most was their personal ability rather than the system. If a person was talented in painting, even if they didn’t have a system, they were willing to guide them. On the contrary, even if they had a system, if they didn’t have talent, they were destined to never go far.
But even these prestigious old-timers couldn’t easily state these bold remarks. But seeing a young man who wasn’t even twenty years old, and those who weren’t afraid to come out to challenge them, they were ashamed to have not this kind of courage.
At the same time, everyone’s impression of Luo Lingxing became better. They even had the impulse to pull him into their Art Society no matter what.
If everyone knew these old people had these thoughts, their impression of Luo Lingxing would also change greatly. At that time, they wouldn’t only be filled with simple envy, but jealousy and hate as well.
But one couldn’t underestimate this Art Society. Its name sounded like a university club, but in fact, this group wasn’t one anyone could join. The members of this group were the top people in various fields in the art world. If one wanted to enter, they had to have at least three or more recommendations. As everyone knew, artists were the most arrogant and cold people in this world. It wasn’t easy to get a recommendation from one, let alone three.
