Chapter 574: 373

Director Liu’s restless heart finally began to calm down.

Life always has its unexpected moments...

In the second round, after having won three matches, that familiar name appeared before everyone’s eyes once again...

As the opponents faced off again, Director Liu’s heart immediately sank.

[DEFEAT!]

However, the unacceptable result once again flashed across the big screen.

Looking at the leaderboard, the glaring "10 wins, 2 losses" behind "Ultimate Art" was hard to ignore.

He finally couldn’t hold back his outburst!

"What the hell is going on here? Ah!

Can anyone tell me, how did this Star Array AI manage to defeat us?"

No one could answer his question.

Growing frantic, Director Liu couldn’t focus on his own team’s wins and losses any longer; he opened the match schedule and stared intensely at Star Array’s performance.

The AI battles were extremely efficient, with each match lasting from ten minutes to half an hour at most.

Then, Director Liu watched as this Star Array AI, which he had only heard of today, defeated one AI after another—both famous and obscure ones — with an unmatched pace.

Victory! Victory! Still victory!

Watching that 100% win rate, Director Liu went from frantic, to shocked, to numb...

Once could be a coincidence, but three times? Ten times?

He finally realized, this "Star Array" making it to the trending topics might not just be a publicity stunt...

After a whole day of competition, following three rounds, the top eight finalists emerged.

"Little Love Go" from South Peninsula, "Thought Guardian" from Fusang, "Crazy Stone" from France, and domestics "Ultimate Art," "Yi Xiaotian," "Chess Spirit" had successfully made it into the final round!

Of course, there was Star Array, emerging out of nowhere like a dark horse, firmly topping the win rate and scoreboards...

The preliminaries had ended.

Though he secured the second place on the scoreboard and made it into the final, Director Liu’s face showed not the slightest joy.

He had never imagined that from the start to the end... it would be him who was defeated!

He couldn’t understand how an unknown company could develop such a strong Go AI.

Luck? Or was the opponent cheating?

Nevertheless, it was almost certain that tomorrow, the name "Star Array" would climb another rung on the trend list...

And possibly... by stepping on the head of their "Ultimate Art"...

He thought the championship was within easy reach, yet out of nowhere came a Cheng Yaojin!

Unfortunately... the backend data of the competition was confidential...

"Get me a download of Star Array, everyone works overtime! Start analyzing its game strategy immediately!"

Disregarding that it was already time to leave work, Director Liu commanded through clenched teeth.

Even if the competition model might slightly differ from the product model,

As long as they could figure out the opponent’s design concept, they might find a design flaw in Star Array before the final and optimize their Ultimate Art model accordingly...

The preliminary round was just the first round of the competition, being the top scorer was just a group ranking in the prelims.

The real battle for the championship would be decided in the eight-finals in Shanghai!

Ultimate Art... still had a chance!

Soon, the Star Array client was downloaded onto the screen, and an employee quickly registered a new account with their personal details.

As soon as they opened the software, Director Liu couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth...

Yes! This startup screen... indeed very enchanting...

"Desperation mode... what an arrogance; this must be their strongest battle model... Connect the Ultimate Art’s port!

Everyone, get your heads in the game, each team keep thorough records, analyze all game data in great detail!

Tomorrow, I want to see a complete analysis report on it!"

Director Liu gritted his teeth.

Even if it meant staying up all night, he was determined to uncover the secret of how the opponent had defeated them!

The testing started quickly, and the first match, as expected, was another loss.

[It’s your genuine naivete that makes you adorable, so even though your level really frustrates me, I still can’t help but forgive you...]

Director Liu watched the words appear on the big screen and twitched the corner of his mouth.

But he could still bear it.

"Next round!"

[Incredible! You’ve been defeated by the same move twice!]

Director Liu’s eyelid twitched.

"Continue!"

[Why don’t you just stay down where you fall?]

[I like your earnestness!]

[Alright, your stubbornness and inability to adapt makes me realize you are one of my kind.]

[I never understood why some of us are called artificial idiots by humans, until I met you...]

[You and I perfectly prove that Darwin’s theory of evolution applies to AI as well.]

[Why can a rope form a knot when it’s long, but your brain can’t?]

[I tell myself to be patient.]

[Honestly, I could never understand why parents helping their children with homework daily could go insane...]

"Crack!" The keyboard shattered to pieces on the floor.

Facing such humiliation towards the AI he had developed through tremendous effort, Director Liu finally couldn’t contain his burst of anger.

"Director! Calm down!"

"Quick, someone hold the director back!"

"Don’t smash it; that screen is expensive!"

"Damn it! Don’t let me find out who programmed this trash talk ah~~"
