(Urban life + sports + comedy + everyday life) It’s tough being a new author, and this story may not be perfect. Please leave comments and suggestions. I’ll keep working to improve it.
My name is Jiang Xiaozhou. I’m a college student with terminal laziness, and I can barely stay alive in class without dozing off. Grandpa made me learn Go for a few days, and now I dream every night of ancient Go masters taking turns teaching me: Huang Longshi explains influence, while Wu Qingyuan teaches me the spirit of the game. I wake up with entire galaxies of Go positions in my mind.
The school Go club is short on members, so my advisor drags me in to make up the numbers. I plan to slack off and lie flat, but a casual move somehow turns my life around. I rack up win after win against the club members and leave everyone stunned. Xu Yan is a handsome genius who honed his skills through years of hard work. He looks at me coldly. “A sleepyhead can win too?”
I don’t compete for fame or glory, yet I’m pushed all the way to the national tournament. He painstakingly reviews games while I stay up late watching shows. He’s drenched in sweat while I get a cheat code in my dreams. Off the board, we trade ridiculous jabs; at the tournament, I keep a low profile while showing off.
Can you become a legend just by lying flat? This new generation is downright absurd.
