Introduction to Rebirth

"What is this?" Lin Yunge asked.

Luo Ji said calmly: "In Go, there are 19 line segments vertically and horizontally, and 361 intersections. Both sides of the game take turns to make moves at the intersections of the chessboard. They can only make one move each time, and they cannot move after the move. The game ends with The one with the most numbers wins. And judging whether the chess pieces can be used depends on Qi."

"Angry?" Lin Yunge asked, "Does this have anything to do with my problem?"

"Yes." Luo Ji nodded and continued: "In backgammon, it counts even if it is tilted. But in Go, it only counts vertically and horizontally. If two pieces are connected together, they have energy. If all sides are blocked, then If you run out of energy, the chess piece will be suffocated to death. So look at this chess game again."

Lin Huanye looked at the chess pieces placed by Luo Ji just now.

"I understand, now the top, bottom, left and right of Bai Zi are blocked. So Bai Zi has no energy and is dead. Is that right?" Lin Yunge asked.

Luo Ji smiled and nodded: "You are really smart. That's right! In Go, there are two kinds of death of chess pieces. One is like this, it is obvious at a glance that the chess pieces will definitely die. There is also a more obscure one, which is like this .”

Another chess game appeared.

"I will replace these two empty seats with A and B." Luo Ji said: "Look, there are ventilation holes above and on the left side of Bai Zi. But in fact, this Bai Zi is already dead. You can try, If Bai Zi wants to continue, he can only choose between A and B. But no matter which way he chooses, the answer is that all his energy will be blocked."

Lin Huanye said: "Try armor first."

Luo Ji added a white stone in position A, and then placed a black stone on top of the white stone.

Dead, Lin Huanye doesn't understand Go, but he understands it.

Luo Ji resumed the chess game again, this time placing the white stone in the B position, and then the black stone extended to make up for one more.

Just like before, Bai Zi was still dead.

Luo Ji said calmly at this time: "You see, this is the second way to die in Go. It seems that there is a way out, but in fact they are all dead ends. So generally in this situation, you will not choose A or B, but abandon it directly. Because there is no need to continue. This chess piece is abandoned, and everything ends decently."

Lin Huanye seemed to understand a little.

Luo Ji continued: "Actually, many things in the world are like this. But some people don't give up, and they just want to continue to settle in this meaningless position, lingering, and continue to persevere in a meaningless place. Grit your teeth. Take one step, then another, until you are finally driven out and killed."

"Why bother? You have no regrets when you make a move. The chessboard is very big. If you fail on this piece, you may be able to make a comeback on another piece. But if you stick to this, you will lose all opportunities. Let yourself fall into passivity and let everything fall into passivity."

Luo Ji looked at Lin Huanye and said: "So, chess is like life. Whether it's a story or a relationship, ending with an ellipsis is considered a happy ending. But some people just want to go through the ending and want to die. Understood. But for me, it’s not necessary, just stop the loss in time.”

Lin Yunge understood: "You mean, to become relatives with me, you just have to choose A or B? You think it's impossible, so you just give up."

Luo Ji nodded: "Didn't I tell you earlier to stop the loss?"

Lin Yunge felt like his head was going to explode.She didn't care about a friend like Luo Ji at all, but Luo Ji's twisted thoughts about making friends made her feel disgusted.

So Lin Yun'e argued with reason: "But have you ever thought about it, it is a paradox that chess is like life. Life cannot be as simple as Go. And no one can see through the fourth wall, and foreseeing the future is impossible. Life is impossible. It’s not just two horizontal and vertical ones.”

"Luo Jixi, your words are correct when put into chess. But how can the world be like a chessboard, knowing the dead end but not taking it? This is trying to follow a cat to draw a tiger, or to see a leopard through a pipe."

Luo Ji nodded: "The idiom is very good."

Lin Huanye was about to break his guard: "I don't need you to praise me for this!"

Luo Ji spread his hands: "Okay, you continue."

Lin Yunge said: "Why do you think it is a dead end? Maybe a little residue can become a spark in the prairie fire, or it can become the straw that breaks the camel's back. How can you not finish the road? Do you know that it is a dead end? There may be a wall in front of you, but you can go around it. One cannot live without the courage to move forward. The rules on the chessboard are extremely simple, but the rapid changes in winning and losing are normal, not to mention life? Things are not easy. There is no common sense in things. It’s just that some people are looking for results, while some people are looking for causes.”

Luo Ji nodded: "Then what I'm looking for is the result. So in the game just now, if the white pieces really want to save, they can put the white pieces here first. Then continue to use more white pieces to set up camps around to complete a counter-siege. . When the surrounding black chess pieces are surrounded, the white pieces can come out. But this requires a lot of effort, requires more layout, more calculations, and even loses more numbers. And is it all worth it? Unless there are special circumstances obsession, otherwise it wouldn’t be necessary, right?”

After a pause, Luo Ji said: "There should be a kind of artificial intelligence in the future. As long as the number of moves is counted, it will know how to win. It's just that this calculation is very heavy. But if this kind of artificial intelligence really appears, , the goal should be to win, not to save this Mejiro."

Luo Ji smiled and said: "So what I mean is that I am just pursuing results. I want to make good use of every white piece, earn the most points, have the largest territory, and win in the simplest way."

Lin Yunge was stunned: "So, I am the white man who was sacrificed?"

"Lin Yungoosexi, you are really going crazy." Luo Ji said: "I have explained so much to you, but I think it will be troublesome to continue, but if it ends hastily and leaves each other with a knot in their hearts, it is not worth it. .So I made it clear what I meant and I hope you can understand.”

Lin Huanye understood that Luo Ji did not do this to shake hands and make peace, but just felt that continuing to be close friends with him would be a loss.But if you turn against each other because of this kind of thing, you will also lose money.So clearly explain the pros and cons, fall out peacefully, and never break up the relationship. This is the best solution.

But... let alone Lin Yunge, no one else would be able to understand it.Because he is a living person, not a reed without emotion, how can he pretend that nothing happened without any grudge?Even if we are just acquaintances, we can't just go back to where we were!

"You still haven't answered me a question. How can you be so sure that the future is a dead end?" Lin Yunge asked: "I'm not trying to make peace with you. I'm just curious, why are you so sure that becoming relatives with me is the right thing to do?" Damn it. Can you cross the fourth wall? Can you predict the future?"

Of course Luo Ji can predict the future, and whatever he does after rebirth, he will achieve his goal directly.

So when it comes to personal relationships, I feel that being too persistent is a waste of time.Unless Lin Huanye is a big tech guy, we can make cyber elixirs together in the future.Otherwise, what's the use of you?Beautiful women are nothing.

Because of the special experience of rebirth, Luo Ji had an overly utilitarian purpose.So it's normal that Lin Huanye can't understand Luo Ji.After all, there is no one in this world who understands Luo Ji.

In fact, Luo Ji did not regard the reborn people as human beings, only as NPCs.As a player, Luo Ji only considers his own interests in all his actions.

There are many types of severance.Couples are called breakups, friends are called breakups, and non-friends are called falling out.

Luo Ji opened his eyes to Lin Yunge, deleted his contact information, and then carefully explained the reason. He hoped that Lin Yunge wouldn't pay too much attention to it. He just disliked the troublesome process of this "side task" and the lack of rewards.

The most you can get is the rare title "Friendship of Lin Yun Ge".It's better to just give up the task in front of the NPC and pretend that you didn't take it.

But Lin Huanye still couldn't understand, and Luo Ji also lost the intention to continue explaining.Just understand if you understand, forget it if you don’t understand.That’s all.

After putting away the chessboard, Luo Ji just said: "I've always been like this, you can judge as you like."

After Luo Ji left, Lin Huanye immediately burst into tears and trembled with anger.

It wasn't because he had lost such a friend, it was because he was angry and aggrieved by Luo Ji's distorted views.

When did I, Lin Huanye, become a losing white piece!
