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

"……What did you say?!!
"It's not a bad thing that I met that stinky chess player?!"

When Li Tingyan said that extremely sensitive word just now, Lin Ruixin, who had been relatively stable during the game today, suddenly raised his voice. His previously calm expression suddenly began to distort, and it was obvious that he had a lot of opinions about his old opponent.

"...Well, I know she caused you a lot of trouble."

Seeing that Lin Ruixin was about to explode, Li Tingyan pressed his hand towards him, signaling him to calm down:

"But as I just said, Cui Minghao's experience of losing to Wu Yueyun was also very painful for him. He even privately admitted that he had some psychological trauma after playing against Wu.

“But this…is still its precious spiritual experience and wealth.

"Take yourself for example. Didn't you devote all your energy to Go after you were defeated by Rui Zhao repeatedly?
"Your level of concentration now is probably even higher than it was more than a decade ago when you were trying online chess with me every day!

"An extremely hardworking 'person with the highest talent'... If such a person had appeared a few years earlier, I'm afraid Xiao Liu wouldn't have gotten to compete for the title of the best in history..."

"What the hell are you saying about praising suffering?!"

Lin Ruixin couldn't stand it any longer and suddenly cursed, interrupting harshly:
"You're not the one being stepped on the face by that idiot chess player every day, why are you pretending to be such a rational person?!
"I'm telling you, Lao Li! If this lousy chess player didn't exist, I'd be so happy! Why would I have to fight for this every day?!!"

"...

"……All right!
"I'm not the person involved, so I'm probably not qualified to talk to you about this."

After being questioned, Li Tingyan remained silent for a few seconds. In the end, Li Tingyan did not continue to argue with the other party on this matter:

"However, although I admire your determination, if your goal is to defeat Rui Zhao...

“I think you can give up early.

“No matter how hard you try now, it’s impossible to defeat a monster like Rui Zhao.

"Instead of torturing myself with useless work every day, it is better to..."

"Old Li! You're not done for today, are you?!"

Lin Ruixin slammed the chess table a few times, his tone full of deep resentment and unwillingness:

"Shangguan Sheng and Zeng Guangwen, mediocre people in their thirties, can get better and better, so why can't I, a recognized genius?!

"She is just a female chess player, how can she beat me?!

"Before... before, she was just very stubborn!

"As long as I practice more than her, there's no reason for her to be better than me!"

After hearing this, Li Tingyan knew that they didn't need to continue chatting that day.

Seeing his old rival looking so old and unkempt, he, as both his friend and foe and a leader of the same generation in South Korea, wanted to offer some advice.

But as Lin Ruixin said, since he was not involved in the case, he was in no position to give further advice.

In the final analysis, Lin Ruixin has to figure out all of this herself.

Thinking of this, the South Korean chess player sighed and gave a final word of advice:

"...Okay then! Let's start reviewing!

“However, you must also understand one thing:

“No one is forever young.

"Even the next generation has already begun to make their mark on the world stage, and we...

“It’s really not far from the end.”

After hearing this, Lin Ruixin's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

He knew exactly what his old rival was referring to, because the sound of Peng Wendong slamming his head on the table in frustration not long ago explained everything:
The next generation...

It really has caught up!

...

...

"…Hello, Uesaka Shidan! Thank you for accepting our interview!

"First of all, congratulations on your victory over Peng Wendong 9th Dan in the first round of the Spring Orchid Cup and your advancement into the top 16!
"This is also the first time you have defeated a Chinese 9th-dan chess player in a world competition. How do you feel now?"

"Thank you. It's an honor!
"Although I have won a game in both the first Tongge Cup World Championship and the World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament, the first round of the Tongge Cup was against European and American players, and as for the World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament... uh...

"In short, the gold content is indeed not very high!
“But today we were able to reverse the defeat against Peng Wendong, although it was very difficult, it was indeed a very valuable victory!
“This is also very meaningful for my continued growth in the future.”

"Ah... Speaking of growth, in recent years, you, 7th Dan Uesaka, have made rapid progress, quickly becoming a new generation of backbone recognized by both Japan and South Korea from a rookie player.

"Everyone wants to know, what factors have driven your rapid growth and achieved such good results?"

"Well... I have to thank the seniors in Japan and South Korea for their cultivation and the chess academy for taking care of the many opportunities for me to participate in top competitions!
"In addition, Rui Zhao's outstanding performance in the chess world is also constantly inspiring me.

“Whenever I feel confused, I will go and see how Rui Zhao Jiudan does it!

"I have always been eager to prove that Rui Zhao's outstanding performance in the competition is not an isolated case for female chess players - this is also a major source of motivation for me to keep moving forward!"

"Ah... just now you mentioned that you have been working hard to prove that Rui Zhao 10th Dan is not an isolated case among female chess players. I wonder if you have noticed that recently the European and American media have paid close attention to your competition with Nie Yunyi th Dan for the top spot among the "post-" players.

"You have already made it to the top 16 of the World Championships, but Seventh Dan Nie has yet to make it to the main tournament.

"At the same time, many chess fans now believe that Rui Zhao is already the best player in his class, and many media have begun to discuss whether women are more talented in Go than men... "As the best performing chess player born after 10, what do you think of these views?"

"As for this question... Actually, Miss Ai Jianan from [Go Xiao Zhao] has already expressed it before - and I agree with her.

"For chess players, winning or losing on the chessboard is what we should focus on. Worrying about who is more talented between the two sexes is actually useless.

"It's just that, if I have to say...

"Rui Zhao, the ninth dan, is performing so well, and my performance is not bad either. At least for now, no one should think that female chess players are naturally less talented than male ones, right?"

"It seems that you are still very impressive, Uesaka Seventh Dan!

"After the first round, according to the current situation, it is almost certain that Chinese mainland chess players will make up more than half of the top 16.

"In the next round, you will once again face off against China's top 9th dan players, and even the top two in the world today, Rui Zhao and Lei Qi. Are you ready for this?"

“Ah… I don’t think this is anything special.

"I played in the Chinese Weiqi League for a whole season and met many 9th-dan players. I even stood on the main stage in the final and played a game with Lei Qi, 9th-dan (laughs). I'm used to it.

"Including in South Korea, I also had many opportunities to play against top players. The strength and background of the opponent are not worth paying special attention to. I just need to do my best!"

"Okay! Thank you to Uesaka Shidan for sharing!

“I wish you continued success in the following games.”

"Thank you."

……

……cut!

She actually made it through the first round!
At six o'clock in the evening of the same day, in an inconspicuous corner of Hailing Hotel, the venue of this year's Spring Orchid Cup.

After watching the post-match interview between a rival of the same age that just came out online, those who were waiting here couldn't help but secretly smack their lips.

Peng Wendong is really something. Instead of practicing chess properly every day, he just pays attention to all these messy and fancy things.

That's it! We are only one step away from a complete defeat, right? !

No wonder Brother Ruixin doesn't want to hang out with this bunch of fermented bean curds. They are indeed all useless!
Even though he was furious in his heart, Xiao Nie Qidan did not worry too much for the moment.

Firstly, in his opinion, luck played a big role in Uesaka Rei's victory over Peng Wendong.

When he meets Hua Xia Jiu Dan in the next round, he will definitely be killed. There is no need to worry anymore!
Secondly...

He also has more important things to do now - arrest Rui Zhao!
Ever since he made up his mind yesterday afternoon to go and find out the situation from Rui Zhao first, Nie Yunyi wanted to talk to him.

But this time, he encountered the same dilemma as in the last Weiqi League playoffs - he couldn't find Rui Zhao's room!
Even though Nie Yunyi was a volunteer for the association's competition, he was completely unable to get any information from the hotel about where Queen Zhaotian stayed. But this time, little Nie Miao said that he didn't want to ask the other party directly.

After much thought, Nie Yunyi had planned to catch the other party in the restaurant this morning or at noon. However, he did not expect that Rui Zhao, who was preparing for the Spring Orchid Cup, did not even step out of the house and did not come to the restaurant. It seemed that he had asked the hotel to deliver the meals to the room, leaving little Nie Yunyi disappointed again.

So in desperation, Xiao Nie Miao could only choose to launch a sneak attack before the drawing ceremony - you can eat in the room, but you can't draw lots remotely.

Therefore, Nie Yunyi, who was an association volunteer for the competition, took advantage of his position and ambushed on the road from the guest room area to the auditorium before the draw ceremony, waiting for Rui Zhao to arrive!

Hmm... the lottery ceremony is about to start, why hasn't she come yet? !
Could it be that this chess idiot was so obsessed with chess that he even forgot about the drawing ceremony?!

Xiao Nie Qiduan, who had been lying in ambush for ten minutes, was muttering to himself and even couldn't help but want to make a phone call to inquire about the situation.

And at this moment, little Nie Miao finally heard the brisk footsteps unique to women - the person coming was the number one person in the world!
……coming!
Nie Yunyi, who had been looking forward to seeing the other party for a long time, was so excited that he rushed out from the corner to stop the other party:
"Rui Zhao!
"I, I have something to talk to you about!"

“…Huh?

"Nie Yunyi?!"

Seeing the small conspicuous bag suddenly rushing out, Mingren Tianyuan was naturally a little surprised that the other party suddenly appeared in this position.

However, when he heard that the other party had something to talk to him about, Rui Zhao was startled for a moment, then he nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Well... you really came to see me!"

"ah?!
“Really?!”

Rui Zhaodang's words made Nie Yunyi, who was originally full of momentum, slightly stunned:
"Do you know why I came to see you?"

"Of course!"

The contemporary Zhaojun, whose demeanor and aura were becoming more mature, nodded confidently:
"You came to tell me that you will definitely come back! Right?!

"You've never said this to me since you lost to me in the Tianyuan Tournament!"

But when the number one person in the world finished his inference with great pride, the atmosphere suddenly fell into an extremely awkward silence.

Little Nie Miao, who was standing in front of Rui Zhao, stared at him with his eyes wide open, as if he had never expected that the other party could actually say such an outrageous statement. He was speechless for a long time.

Time passed by second by second. Seeing that Nie Yunyi was still in a state of shock, Athena, who was originally very confident, finally realized that something seemed to be wrong. She then asked carefully again:

"...Huh? Could it be...

"Isn't it because of this?!"

"Of course not!!!"

Nie Yunyi's hysterical voice instantly echoed in the corridor, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time...
