"Then let's go, I want to see what a Go champion's restaurant looks like."

Xu Man Ni said with a smile.

It's rare for Zhao Heng to have such interest, and she's happy to join him.

It's only after being with Zhao Heng that she discovered how few hobbies he has, almost none besides work and going home.

Now she finally found Zhao Heng's deeply hidden interest.

"Alright, use your phone to start the navigation. The restaurant's name is Cantonese Jiangnan."

Zhao Heng said.

"Okay, sure."

Xu Man Ni nodded, opened her phone, and started the navigation.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived.

Zhao Heng drove the car into the parking lot, parked, and they walked to the entrance.

"Is this the Cantonese Jiangnan you mentioned?"

Standing at the entrance, Xu Man Ni asked.

The storefront looked like it was moderately high-class; Xu Man Ni had been to countless such places. She figured it must have been the involvement of the Go world champion that caught Zhao Heng's keen interest in this restaurant.

"Yes, this should be it."

Zhao Heng nodded.

As they approached the entrance, a waiter warmly greeted them, saying, "Welcome to Cantonese Jiangnan, please follow me."

"Is this Ke Jie's restaurant?"

Zhao Heng asked directly, worried it would be awkward if they came to the wrong place.

"Yes, this is the restaurant opened by the world's Eight-time Champion, Ke Jie. Sir, you're at the right place."

The waiter said enthusiastically.

Many customers came because of the reputation as well.

And clearly, Ke Jie's involvement is indeed the selling point of this place.

"Hmm, do you still have the special-priced tiger grouper for 48 and pineapple buns for 5 each?"

Zhao Heng said with a slight smile.

"Uh~"

"We currently still have them, sir."

The waiter was visibly surprised by Zhao Heng's question before responding.

"Okay, then get us a private room."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Next, Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni followed the waiter inside. As soon as they entered, the waiter pointed to a Go board hanging on the wall of the main hall, saying proudly, "This is the board Ke Jie used when he battled AlphaGo."

One holds black, one holds white, ephemeral yet profound, a realm where heaven and earth unite, twists and turns abound, layers of intrigue, myriad changes, lingering echoes... Alas, the beautiful vision stays only in imagination, as AI AlphaGo made its strong entry, world-renowned Ke Jie faced it head-on, yet in the end, after two 'man vs. machine' battles, Ke Jie did not win a single game and even conceded in the second match, all sighs turned into a long exhale.

Even though he lost, this 'man vs. machine' battle could be said to be humans' closest approach to AI level in Go.

Because nowadays, even the third-generation AI can easily win against top-tier Go players even with a three-stone handicap.

A three-stone handicap in Go indicates a substantial skill gap.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but pause, staring at the board for a while.

To dare to challenge AI with human capabilities, it could somewhat be said to parallel divinity as a human effort.

During the 'man vs. machine' battles, Zhao Heng watched the entire live stream online, feeling extremely excited, wishing he were there in person.

"Sir?"

Seeing Zhao Heng so engrossed, the waiter reminded him.

"Alright, let's go."

Zhao Heng snapped back to reality and nodded.

Soon, the waiter led Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni into a tastefully elegant private room with a Chinese style decor.

This elegant Chinese decor, with a hint of Zen, was something Zhao Heng liked, showing Ke Jie's taste wasn't bad in that regard.

After sitting down, the waiter placed a tablet in front of Zhao Heng, saying, "Sir, apart from the tiger grouper and pineapple buns, is there anything else you would like to order?"

Most guests came to order the 48 per piece tiger grouper and 5 per piece pineapple buns, something the waiter was quite used to by now.

After all, the owner, Ke Jie, has a strong fan base.

And after several live streams, many fans who watched the streams learned about the special offer on grouper.

"Take a look first, what would you like to eat?"

Zhao Heng smiled, handing the tablet to Xu Man Ni.

"Okay."

Xu Man Ni nodded, taking the tablet to have a look.

She didn't eat Cantonese food often, but she knew what was good. However, upon seeing the dish names on the tablet, she couldn't hold back. Signature shrimp dumplings, roasted pigeon from Sha Tin, and chilled Alaskan king crab she could understand, but the rest left her baffled.

"What are War Eagle hot dogs and War Eagle fish sausages? And what's this Eight Cans Wong Lo Kat?"

Xu Man Ni raised her head, looking puzzled as she asked the waiter.

The waiter laughed at Xu Man Ni's question.

"These are all online jokes, just ignore them and order the normal dishes."

Seeing Xu Man Ni's confused face, Zhao Heng chuckled.

"Alright, I'll just order these."

Xu Man Ni handed the tablet back to Zhao Heng.

"Just these, along with the tiger grouper, pineapple buns, and War Eagle fish sausages."

Zhao Heng stifled a laugh, handing the tablet to the waiter.

"Alright."

The waiter couldn't help but laugh at the mention of War Eagle fish sausages, turning to walk away with the tablet.

After the waiter left, Xu Man Ni asked with genuine curiosity, "Isn't a single tiger grouper usually at least over a hundred? Selling it for 48 each, is that charity? And what's this War Eagle fish sausage? Is War Eagle someone's name?"

Since entering this restaurant, Xu Man Ni felt something was odd, as if everyone was in on a joke except her.

"The grouper special must be a promotional opening. As for War Eagle, it's indeed a person, a professional female Go player. The fish sausages are a joke from her live streams; you can look it up on Bilibili."

Zhao Heng laughed.

"Okay."

Xu Man Ni nodded, looking puzzled as she pulled out her phone, opened Bilibili, and searched.

She hadn't really watched Bilibili before, only downloading it after learning Zhao Heng had a video account there, but she's only been following Zhao Heng.

After watching the video, Xu Man Ni said to Zhao Heng, "Do you actually watch live streams?"

Zhao Heng's watching live streams did surprise Xu Man Ni; to her, live streams were just modern performances for viewers looking to send gifts.

"I only watch Go streamers. Initially, I was searching for Go content and happened to come across War Eagle's live streams, which I found quite interesting."

Zhao Heng laughed.

"Hmm, Go is acceptable since it's professional."

Xu Man Ni nodded, thinking to herself that it made sense. Zhao Heng wouldn't be interested in watching female streamers just show off for gifts, especially considering their looks, figures, and aura can't compete with hers.

After all, he's got a beautiful girlfriend right in front of him, so why would he look elsewhere?
