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

In fact, with the final "Eternal Glory" special challenge, Rui Zhao once again crushed Lin Ruixin with a near-perfect performance. The public opinion situation, which had been very chaotic due to the so-called "exposure incident," has once again quickly tilted in their favor!

There's no way around it—in the public eye, Lin Ruixin is probably the person who hates Rui Zhao the most in the world. Getting him to cooperate with Rui Zhao in doing anything underhanded is absolutely impossible!
Therefore, Lin Ruixin's great victory has greatly clarified the controversy surrounding Rui Zhao, and the future of the "pro-siege faction" is suddenly bright!
However, Shang Chaotian clearly sensed that even so, North America was not giving up and was instead struggling on the verge of defeat!
Although the two flawed "exposé posts" have been widely dismissed by chess fans and professionals worldwide as clumsy framing and slander, the two anonymous posters remain incorrigible, insisting that the incident was true and repeatedly claiming that "there must be more to the story behind Rui Zhao's game against Lin Ruixin."

Meanwhile, the online trolls controlled by Blue Star Hegemony followed the absurd logic of these two posts, frantically creating new public opinion, saying that this game of chess did not prove anything, and only Rui Zhao's victory over AI would be enough to prove its true strength.

When someone knowledgeable tries to explain that "even if she can't beat AI, Rui Zhao is still one of the greatest athletes in history," the other party immediately uses this as an excuse to attack Rui Zhao's previous sharp-tongued "manifesto," accusing her of just bragging—their methods are incredibly sophisticated!

That's not all; now Tripp is even personally endorsing the event as the president of a country!
Judging from these reactions, although the other side is currently at a significant disadvantage in the public opinion battle, they are definitely waiting for a final counterattack! They may be planning to jump out and continue to stir up public opinion after Rui Zhao is defeated in the final, highly charged battle with DeepBrain!
The saying goes, "Even a centipede, though dead, does not fall down."

Now that things have come to this... are we still hoping to rely on AI to defeat Rui Zhao and then muddy the waters?

Shang Chaotian couldn't help but sincerely "admire" the shamelessness of North America's media hegemony!
Despite being repeatedly refuted by facts and riddled with logical flaws, it is still able to stir up such a large-scale public opinion storm on a global scale by virtue of its strong media control and information dissemination capabilities.

It can even lead a considerable number of people to ignore irrefutable facts and choose to believe those absurd accusations!
But... that's normal.

It's 2028 already, and there are still a bunch of colonists in China who believe that North America is the "beacon of the world" and a "godlike kingdom on earth"... What else can be said?

Thinking of this, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous smile.

At present, the country's leader has already gained a great advantage in public opinion by performing well, and it is hard to ask for more—she has done enough.

Since North America insists on taking a hard line, we are happy to let them see the sharp edge honed by human wisdom!
Thinking of this, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but bring up his WeChat chat with Lu Wenjie again.

A message sent just an hour earlier by the vice chairman of the chess association contained three extremely brief yet subtly sharp sets of numbers:
[4057 results selected]

[Remaining: 3012]

[Confirmed: 10]

"...Little Zhao Meow!"

"How are you going to digest the blind spots that the Chess Association has recently identified?"

The date is Monday, December 24nd.

Inside the suite where Rui Zhao was staying at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Dongjiang, Huaxia.

Five days later, the final challenge between Rui Zhao and Deepbrain's latest AI will begin with the first game of the best-of-five series. With the match fast approaching, Ai Jian'an, who had come to visit Rui Zhao that day, made a point of greeting him.

Since the last "Eternal Glory" special challenge with Lin Ruixin ended ten days ago, Rui Zhao quickly moved here to prepare for the competition against Deepbrain's latest AI.

Actually, Ai Jian'an preferred to continue at the Dongjiang Hotel—after all, Rui Zhao had lived there for almost half a year and had become completely accustomed to the environment.

While Deepbrain agreed to host the human-machine duel in Dongjiang, they made a request regarding the specific venue—it had to be a venue that was favorable to their background in order to "ensure fairness."

Deepbrain ultimately chose the American-owned Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Although Ai Jianan was not entirely satisfied, it was difficult for him to raise any further objections.

Currently, Deepbrain's technical team has moved into the hotel to begin equipment testing and arena setup. Naturally, their agent, Ai Jian'an, also came in person to inquire about the preparations of their star player.

"...Hmm! It's digested quite well!"

In response to Ai Jian'an's question, Rui Zhao, sitting opposite her, puffed out her chest and said with considerable pride:

"I am a new generation of knife-throwing expert personally recognized by Teacher Li and Senior Brother Ni, so I can't possibly be bad at this!"
"Now that we've identified 13 blind spots, that's almost enough to assemble the throwing knife arsenal! We can say everything is ready!"

As Ai Jian'an listened to Rui Zhao's clear and confident report, the tension in her heart caused by the approaching battle seemed to ease considerably.

Looking back on the arduous journey of promoting Go to the Olympics over the past year, Ai Jianan felt at his wit's end several times in the face of strong interference from North America, the hegemon of the blue planet, and endless media suppression.

However, it is this young Athena of the Go world who, with her unparalleled strength and indomitable courage, has thwarted her opponents' schemes time and time again on the Go board, safeguarding the flame of hope for Go's inclusion in the Olympics...

But she's only twenty-three!
All I wanted to do back then was sign a promising livestreaming star...

I never imagined that I would be involved in such a momentous event, accompanying this chess goddess through thick and thin to reach the center of this globally renowned stage today!

Thinking of this, Ai Jian'an subconsciously pursed her lips, trying to ease the pressure on Rui Zhao:
"Little Zhao Miao, don't be too nervous!"

"Since you defeated Lin Ruixin, we have gained a great advantage in the battle of public opinion!"

"Even if you can't beat AI, as long as you play well, I'm very confident that Go can be included in the Olympics!"
So... don't put too much pressure on yourself! Just do your best!

However, upon hearing these words, Rui Zhao did not show any relief; instead, she was slightly taken aback.

Then, she tilted her head slightly, a determined smile appearing on her lips:
"I know, but... this time I'm going to give it my all!"

"Eh?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Ai Jian'an's eyes.

"That's how it is, Sister An'an..."

Rui Zhao turned her gaze to the expansive view of the Huangpu River outside the window and slowly said:
"Although I don't know anything except playing Go, I've come to realize over this period of time that many people who don't understand Go have some misconceptions about AI."

"Some might even think that with the advent of AI, human competitions are no longer important for Go."

"I always thought that the emergence of AI was a milestone event for the development of Go! With the help of AI, we have undoubtedly taken a big step towards the truth on the Go board!"

"But in retrospect, the emergence of AI may have opened Pandora's box. It has led to some misunderstandings about Go among the public..."

At this point, Rui Zhao pursed her lips and looked at Ai Jian'an again:
"So! Since everyone is doing their best to support me, I definitely hope to be able to reseal this box."

"If we can defeat AI in front of the whole world, then no one will ever say that 'human Go is useless' again, right?"

"Little Zhao Meow..."

After hearing Rui Zhao's calm words, Ai Jian'an was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Although he was an amateur expert, Ai Jianan was generally aware that he was facing Deepbrain's AI, which was so powerful that it was almost inhuman.

Even if Rui Zhao has mastered the throwing knife collection and can accurately hit the opponent's blind spot to deliver the blow, the final chances of victory are still slim, and the odds are against her.

To achieve a result that is "honorable despite defeat," showcasing the ultimate skill of human chess players, is perhaps the greatest victory.

But at this moment, looking at Rui Zhao's pure smile, Ai Jian'an, who had accompanied her through thick and thin, was also deeply moved by this almost idealistic optimism and courage.

"……Um!

"If it were you, Xiao Zhao Miao, you could definitely do it!"

Just as Ai Jianan nodded vigorously, preparing to tell Rui Zhao another exciting piece of news—thanks to the continuous coverage and attention from global media, her total number of fans across the internet has approached 400 million.

As Yong Shi Zhaojun previously said: the more fans she has, the better she feels.

With the decisive battle approaching, Boss Ai naturally wanted to share as many happy things as possible with his opponent.

Just then, a rapid ringtone suddenly sounded – it was Ai Jian'an's phone.

Miss Ai picked it up and saw that it was a call from Li Jingzhe.

...Little Li?
Is there some other trick going on?!

Last time, he suddenly said that all the suspected blind spots he found were fake, which almost made my blood pressure rise!

As Ai Jian'an pondered this to herself, she answered the phone.
"...Hey, Xiao Li!"
"Please don't give me any bad news right now!!"

"The competition is just around the corner!"

Li Jingzhe on the other end was taken aback at first, then said somewhat awkwardly:
"...Oh, Sister An'an wouldn't do that!"
"The blind spots we've identified for Rui Zhao have all been reviewed by Lei Qi and Ni Jiudan, so there are absolutely no problems."

"What's up? You're not thinking of calling Rui Zhao alone again, are you?!"

"Let me tell you: because I was scolded by Lei Qi last time!"

"Uh……"

Having a prior criminal record, Li Jingzhe became increasingly embarrassed upon hearing this, so he simply stopped responding and went straight to the point:

"Sister An'an, I have some really great news... even a major breakthrough! But I need to confirm something with you first:"

"Who will make the move for the AI ​​this time? Could it be a professional Go player?"

"Huh? You're asking about that?"

Ai Jian'an was momentarily confused, but still answered truthfully:

"Hmm, of course not..."

"This time, the one who placed the move for the AI... is still the same person from twelve years ago!" (End of Chapter)
