Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

"World……

"A little virgin at the World Championships?!!!"

The moment after hearing this, little Nie Miao's slightly trembling voice echoed in the hotel lobby, even attracting the attention of the entire Japanese delegation.

To Nie Yunyi, Kamisaka Rei's words were undoubtedly "quite hurtful and extremely insulting," and he instantly became hysterical.

But even though Nie Yunyi's voice could be heard trembling obviously, he couldn't refute this word!

No matter what, he never made it to the World Championships and that’s the fact!

So after being in a stalemate for several seconds, Nie Yunyi had no choice but to attack the opponent to save face:

“So what if you participated?!

"The first two times they were wild cards! This time it was also directly designated by your chess academy! It's totally unworthy of the name!
"Just wait! In the first round of this Spring Orchid Cup, seven masters from the Chinese mainland will compete!

"When the first round of draws is held at the opening banquet, there is a high chance that you will run into our ninth-dan chess player! You will be in trouble then!"

What Nie Yunyi said was indeed true.

The eight players who had a bye in the first round of this year's Spring Orchid Cup, except for the last champion and runner-up, were assigned two people each to China, Ying and South Korea - specifically "Rui Lei, Sun Zhu, Liu Pu, Tu and Hu".

Under this arrangement, the remaining seven players from the Chinese mainland will all participate in the first round. Considering the principle of avoiding the same country in the draw, in the first round of eight groups, the probability of Kosaka drawing a Chinese mainland 9th dan is indeed close to 90%.

However, the young Japanese master, Kou Uesaka, was not easily frightened, and answered without showing any fear:
“…Oh? So what?!

"It's as if I've never beaten a Chinese 9th Dan!
"You, a defeated general, were able to secretly kill Chu Jun, so I may not be able to achieve good results in this Spring Orchid Cup!
"Since you are here this time, let me show you what a future leader should look like!"

After she finished speaking, Uesaka Rei turned around and wanted to run away after saying the last sentence, not giving the queen and the black fan leader on the opposite side a chance to talk back.

But when he turned around, Xiao Shangzaka realized that the two of them had been arguing for a long time and seemed to have forgotten the question they asked at the beginning! So he turned around and said:
“…Oh, that’s right!

"After all this talk, why are you here?

"You can't be here just to quarrel with me, right?!"

"Uh……"

Hearing this question, Xiao Xianyanbao, who was originally racking his brains to think of a counter-argument, suddenly felt embarrassed as if he had been hit in the heart. After a long while, he finally managed to say:
"I-Is it not okay for me to come and cheer for Brother Ruixin?!"

...Even though Brother Ruixin never responded to me again after he replied to me that day...

Xiao Xianyanbao, who has not received any response from his idol recently, feels aggrieved.

I don't know if going to meet him in person will disturb his preparations for the battle...

Sure enough, should I find some time to go to Rui Zhao and ask about the situation?
Although Rui Zhao will definitely tell the story in a way that is favorable to her, at least I can understand the whole picture first...

But just when Xiao Nie Qidan was still struggling with the issue of his idol, after hearing the other party's reasons, Uesaka Rei had already begun to show full enthusiasm.

"……Oh!

"You actually chased Lin Ruixin, who couldn't even beat Brother Zeng, and you came here to cheer him up!"

There was no respect in Uesaka Rei's words for the former number one person in the world:

“You watch!

"If we meet in the first round this time, I must beat that shorty before he does!"

...

...

Of course, most things in the world are not so coincidental...

At 7 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the opening dinner and first round draw ceremony of this year's Spring Orchid Cup was successfully held at Hailing Hotel.

Although the most popular No. 1 player Rui Zhao will not compete in the first round, the opening dinner still attracted a large number of media because of the participation of another left-wing media darling Kamisaka Rei. It is much bigger than the last competition!
However, China will naturally not help the Japanese to make signatures.

At the end of the final draw, Uesaka Rei did not avoid the Chinese 9th-dan chess players, but she also did not encounter Lin Ruixin...

In the first round, she faced Chinese chess player Peng Wendong, and it was foreseeable that it would be a tough battle.

As for other competitions, most of them do not have much gimmicks given the fact that China is much stronger than both Japan and South Korea.

However, there was one match that more or less brought back memories for some old chess fans...

2027 Spring Orchid Cup first round:

【Li Tingyan】 vs 【Lin Ruixin】

...

...

"...I give up!" Time quickly came to April 4, the day of the first round of the Spring Orchid Cup.

At 5:30 in the evening, in the chess room of Hailing Hotel.

After fighting for five and a half hours, seeing that his defeat was inevitable, South Korea's veteran leader Lee Jung-yeon had no choice but to resign.

"…Thank you for your advice."

Although there was no politeness in his tone, Lin Ruixin still read out the words without any emotion and responded:
"Want to replay?"

"……certainly."

Although he didn't have many chances in this game, which could be considered a complete defeat, Li Tingyan didn't seem to be in a bad mood at the moment, and his tone was filled with a relaxed feeling:

"After all, any time we face off in the World Championships could be the last time!"

Lin Ruixin, who had a stubble on his face, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that there was no need to say anything.

He just quietly began to fiddle with the chess pieces on the board, preparing to review the game with his old opponent, perhaps for the last time.

However, although Lin Ruixin seemed reluctant to say more, Old Li, who usually didn't talk much, opened up today and chatted while restoring the layout.

"...To be honest, you are in much better condition than me!
"It seems that I am the one who got old first after all!"

"…You are three years older than me. Isn't this normal?"

Lin Ruixin didn't care about it and answered casually. But Li Tingyan shook his head and said:
"To be honest: I have always believed that at the end of your career, you will definitely decline drastically and drop out of the ranks of top chess players in an instant.

"Even when I heard that you were banned for half a year, I felt that this might be the opportunity..."

"……no!
“You are older than me and have two fewer world championships than me, not to mention your talent!
"Who the hell gave you the courage to feel this way? Fish Leong?!"

Hearing this, Lin Dawanghong, who had been reluctant to say more, finally couldn't help it and immediately interrupted with an old joke:
"Old Li! This is not how you play the moral victory game!
"This game of chess just now can explain the result better than anything else!"

"Ah... now you look a bit like the Lin Ruixin I remembered!"

Although Lin Ruixin was not polite at all in her words, Li Tingyan just smiled faintly.

There is no trace of the confrontation and tension that we had with our opponents at the World Championships ten years ago...

"...In the past year or so, I almost didn’t recognize you anymore!
“But don’t say I’m making assumptions.

“After 2020, haven’t you already fallen off a cliff once?”

Hearing this, the internet celebrity who originally thought that his old rival had become hysterical due to old age was speechless for a moment and frowned.

The other party's meaning couldn't be more obvious.

As a leading figure who won seven world championships in six years, Lin Ruixin was not even 2020 years old when he won his seventh world championship in December 12!

Twenty-three or twenty-four years old is still the rising period for chess players, let alone a "supremely talented person" who has already won seven world championships!
However, what the entire chess world did not expect was...

Ever since Liu Shixian, as the deputy general, ended his four-game winning streak in the Nongshim Cup in early 2021, the former Chinese chess master seemed to have reached a turning point in his fate, and his career took a sharp turn for the worse.

After the "Legendary Ender" won the 2021 Sanshuang Cup final by coming back from a - deficit, Lin Ruixin has never entered the final of any world championship again, and even the semi-finals, which has only happened twice!

This kind of performance can at most be described as that of an ordinary top chess player. For a leader of a generation, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a "precipitous decline".

Faced with such pointed remarks from his old rival, if it were the old Lin Ruixin, he would have immediately lost his temper and started to retort.

However, Lin Da, an internet celebrity who is over 30 years old, seems to have lost his edge over time.

He finally sighed and said to Lao Li:

"…I can't help it, I'm so young!

“Sometimes when results come too quickly, they may not necessarily be a good thing.”

"Yes, that's right."

Li Tingyan nodded and agreed:

"Let's not talk about Xiao Liu! He was bullied badly by the two of us before he grew up!
“Even Choi Myeong-ho, he talked to me privately.

"Although the defeat at the hands of Wu Yueyun at the second Yingyi Cup was extremely painful, it did have a lot of positive effects on his future career..."

Having said this, Li Tingyan paused for a moment, then looked directly into the eyes of his old rival and said slowly but seriously:
"Lin Ruixin, let me tell you something that will definitely make you unhappy.

"Have you ever thought that meeting Rui Zhao might not be a bad thing...

"…But the time we met was a little too late, wasn't it?"
