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

"...Ladies and gentlemen, the competition is over..."

"I... I can only say..."

"That's too much, Sister Rui Zhao!!!"

At 4:20 PM on January 13, 2028, in the room of Kanako Akiyama, a 5th Dan, in the Eastern City of Japan.

The light from the computer screen illuminated Kanako Akiyama's face, which was slightly flushed with excitement—she had just finished her hours-long live commentary of the first game of the "Eternal Monarch's Might" challenge and was now giving her final summary in front of the camera.

At this moment, her voice trembled slightly... but not because of nervousness, but because of her surging emotions!

She paused, seemingly calming her overly excited emotions, and then a radiant smile full of pure adoration bloomed on her face:
"After watching this game... I'm still completely stunned! It feels like I've had an unbelievable dream!"

At this moment, the Akiyama meeting was filled with undisguised excitement and euphoria, as if they were about to expel all the shock and excitement that had accumulated in their chests throughout the entire competition.

She adjusted her posture slightly, leaning forward closer to the microphone, and immediately began a more detailed review of the game:

"Although I said before the game was even sixty moves in, that this game was no longer worth playing!"

"Even though I have always been extremely loyal to Sister Rui Zhao, I never expected her to go to this extent!"

"This game was actually over after the battle in the lower right corner - Sister Rui Zhao, with her almost superhuman straight-line calculations and attack instincts, directly crushed Liu Jiudan in a local area!"
"But the key point is that I didn't expect Sister Rui Zhao to become even more ruthless afterward..."

"They're completely unreasonable!"

After reliving yet another spectacular display of attack and destruction, Akiyama's tone, which had just calmed down, became excited again:
"...Faced with Black's fierce attack on White's stones in the upper left corner, Sister Rui Zhao handled the situation with ease, even going so far as to cut off Black's stones, completely plunging the game into chaos, and launching attacks and kills everywhere!"

"The black territory at the bottom was completely breached, and the black stones in the lower right corner even struggled to survive through a ko fight. The black stones in the upper right corner were also forced to secure their eye positions, leaving them with no points."

"When Liu Shixian, a 9-dan professional, tried to launch a strong attack on the isolated white stones in the upper left corner as a last-ditch effort, the white stones did not back down at all, and even launched a fierce attack on the black stones in the center!"
"The 130th move may seem like a continuation of the ko fight, but in reality, it's already eyeing the subsequent eye-breaking techniques like capturing and poking!"

"Upon reaching this point, Liu Shixian, a ninth-dan player, knew that continuing to struggle would only increase his suffering, so he resigned and admitted defeat."

"Liu Jiudan was completely suppressed throughout the game. Since the 27th move, when he entered the battle phase, he has not gained any advantage in any part of the game. There is only the possibility of him making a mistake, and there is no possibility of Sister Rui Zhao showing any weakness!"
"AI's game analysis can also prove this point!"

At this point, Kanako Akiyama abruptly switched the screen, displaying the AI's win rate curve and evaluation summary for this game:

"In this game, Sister Rui Zhao made 65 moves, with only one [mistake] and four [playable] moves!"
"The other sixty moves were all rated 'Best' or 'Very Good'!"
"A 92.3% accuracy rate was achieved even under conditions of near-total chaos!"
"This once again proves that Rui Zhao's legendary victory over Lin Ruixin in the quarterfinals of the Lily Cup with a 98.8% accuracy rate was not just a flash in the pan... Ahhhhhh!"

"I can't hold back anymore!"

Kanako Akiyama suddenly let out a series of short, excited screams, her body twisting excitedly in the chair, completely disregarding her own image!

Her gaze swept across the time in the lower right corner of the screen, then glanced at the ongoing live recap.
"While Sister Rui Zhao is still reviewing the situation, I need to go and brag about it on various international forums first!"

"Let's see if Musk still dares to say his AI is guaranteed to beat Sister Rui Zhao!!!"

Kanako deftly switched between the web pages in front of her, while simultaneously waving her little fist vigorously at all the viewers and fans watching the live stream, and said in a crisp and inspiring voice:
"Dear viewers and die-hard fans of the diva, hurry up and keep up!"
"Let's go and give Musk's ugly face, which is so pretentious, a good slap!"

...

...

"...Ah! I never expected this..."

"Even with a handicap, you practically swept through them!"

At 4:30 PM on January 13, 2028, in the chess room of the Oriental Hotel in Singapore.

Having just finished reviewing the situation with Rui Zhao, Liu Shixian leaned back in his chair and gently stretched his neck, which had become stiff from prolonged concentration.

He raised his gaze and looked directly at the beautiful figure in front of him, who was also gazing at the chessboard. A sincere and admiring smile appeared on his face.

"really……

"I still can't fight you head-on, Rui Zhao!"

His tone was full of helplessness at being ruthlessly tormented by the world's killing god, but he didn't forget to take the opportunity to make a small joke about his beautiful opponent:

"But... you went way too far with your attacks afterwards, didn't you?"
"Even though I was completely powerless to fight back, you still clearly wanted to kill me..."

"They're really leaving no way out!"

"...Ah! I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing Liu Shixian's teasing "accusation," Yongshi Zhaojun's clear eyes showed no victor's arrogance, but rather a hint of barely perceptible apology:

"However, Liu Jiudan, the current situation is... I need to force myself to play against the AI. Therefore, in every game of the challenge, I need to demonstrate my skill level as much as possible, and also maintain media attention. So..."

"If we're going to show our strength, let's see it through to the end!"

"...You're so fierce."

Although Rui Zhao's words reminded him of a certain old, melodramatic romance drama from his own country, he still controlled his expression and answered as seriously as possible:
"Looks like next time I challenge you, I might have to try a different approach and play it safe!"

"Yes, that's how it should be!"

Having previously had experience playing chess with his own dog and letting it go first, Rui Zhao immediately agreed, a naturally encouraging smile appearing on his face.

But her next words were like a dart thrown with precision, carrying an innocent yet deadly power, instantly piercing the psychological defenses of the South Korean Go prodigy!
"...After all, when I practiced with Brother Zeng, he could usually hold on for about seventy or eighty moves!"
"Liu Jiudan, you should have been able to last longer!"

"...Huh? Zeng Guangwen...?"

Upon hearing this, the usually calm and composed young master of the Liu family's handsome face twitched slightly.

The psychological blow of seemingly being "worse than Zeng Gou" is indeed quite devastating.

However, Liu Shixian was, after all, a top-tier figure who had experienced countless battles. In the blink of an eye, he quickly regained control of the subtle expression on his face, as if his previous loss of composure had never occurred.
"...Understood. I'll come again next time."

"And another thing..."

At this point, South Korea's strongest Go player paused, then looked directly into the bright eyes of the world's number one player and said with utmost sincerity:

"...Please allow me to say thank you again!"

"……Eh?"

"Um, I really didn't expect that..."

"In just one year, you have already created such a huge buzz for Go to be included in the Olympics!"

"Although South Korea has not achieved any outstanding results in international competitions in the past year, thanks to you, the number of people willing to learn Go and the commercial value of various competitions are rising, and the Go Association is full of confidence in the future again!"
"You've really gone through a lot of trouble!"

At this point, the young master of the Liu family bowed his head in respect to the eternal Zhaojun of China. This sudden turn of events caught Rui Zhao completely off guard!

"...Ah, Liu Jiuduan, you're exaggerating!"

Huaxia Longjie waved her hands repeatedly, a rare hint of panic showing in her usually increasingly composed demeanor:

"My greatest wish is to promote Go to the world and make more people willing to get involved in this fascinating sport!"

"In fact, I should thank you, 9-dan Liu, for reminding me that I need to put Go on the agenda for inclusion in the Olympics as soon as possible. Otherwise, I might have missed this opportunity without even realizing it!"
"I'd be happiest if I could help you in any way!"

"...Alright!"
"Let's not be so formal between the two of us."

Young Master Liu's smile remained gentle, and even his eyes, when gazing at the other person, couldn't help but reveal a meaning far beyond mere "appreciation":
"Well, although with my current skill level, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to really help you with chess anymore..."

"However, please feel free to ask if there is anything you need me for."

"Yes, I understand Liu Jiuduan's intentions."

"Okay! Then I won't take up any more of your time, Rui Zhao."

At this point in the conversation, Liu Shixian suddenly stood up and straightened the cuffs of his perfectly wrinkle-free suit:

"And I should also become a devout missionary and spread the gospel of my Lord!"

Rui Zhao was taken aback by his sudden and strange words:
"...My...my Lord?"

however……

Seeing her bewildered and confused expression, the young master of the Liu family seemed to have discovered a scene that made him extremely satisfied, and his smile became even brighter.

He leaned slightly closer to Rui Zhao and gave his answer softly but firmly:
"……yes!

"For my goddess."

After saying this, South Korea's strongest Go player didn't linger any longer, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

At that moment, the afterglow of the evening sun shone through the huge glass window, falling perfectly upon him, as if draping this believer, who was about to set off to preach, in a holy light.

In the center of the chess room, however, the eternal Zhaojun, completely unaware of which deity "Goddess" was referring to, remained utterly bewildered. (End of Chapter)
