Chapter 1001 Who is the only one in the world

"…Lost?"

Rui Zhao carefully told Liu Shixian everything he was thinking, but he saw that Liu Shixian was looking at him in surprise, as if he was shocked by what he had just said.

Seeing this, Zhaojun thought that her words had made things difficult for the other party again, and hurriedly waved her hands to explain:
“Ahhh!

"Of course! Maybe I'm just being too sentimental!

"It's normal to feel unhappy after losing a game! When I found out that I had lost the game I won in the quarterfinals of the 23 Wu Yue Cup, I cried a lot!
"My words just now were a bit rude, please don't take it to heart..."

"How can I not take it to heart?"

Before Rui Zhao could finish his apology, Liu Shixian interrupted with a smile:
“You actually said… that you and I are the same kind of people?!
“That’s the greatest compliment I’ve ever heard!

“It’s just a pity…

“This is really a bit of a compliment!”

"……Eh?"

Xiao Hanhan was quite confused by Liu Shixian's answer.

But Liu Shixian, who noticed that the other party was puzzled, had no intention of explaining in detail at this time. Instead, he continued to talk to himself:

"…If it weren't for you, I could still comfort myself by saying: Some things are just too hard to take care of both!
"But in front of you, I completely pale in comparison!"

Having said this, South Korea's strongest chess player immediately stopped sighing, took a deep breath, stood up and saluted slightly, saying:
"Then Rui Zhao Jiudan... Thank you for your teaching today! See you at the Nongshim Cup in half a month!

"Although you have the reputation of 'Fast Chess Athena' and have won a record-breaking nine consecutive victories in this Nongshim Cup...

"But after all, I have the prestigious title of 'God of Nongshim', so I won't just surrender like that!
“I believe that by then, no matter I win or lose, I should be able to face the result with a more calm attitude!”

"Ah! Okay!"

Although she couldn't understand Young Master Liu's rather self-contained ramblings, Zhaojun naturally understood the final challenge to the current world, and immediately responded very actively:

"Everyone has always said that the Liu Jiudan in the Nongshim Cup is the strongest Liu Jiudan! I have always wanted to learn from you!"

"Uh……

"But didn't you beat me once before in the Nongshim Cup?"

“That’s different!
"That time I brought Senior Brother Ni's flying knife arsenal with me, and I was fighting on his behalf! It doesn't count!"

"Hey, hey... is that so?

"Do you have to be so strict with yourself all the time..."

...

...

"Hello, Rui Zhao 9th Dan! Thank you for accepting our interview today!

"First of all, congratulations on winning the title of this year's Strongest Chess Player Championship!

"You played a brilliant game today. Only one move was considered as [poor] by the AI, and the matching rate exceeded 93%, directly defeating Liu Shixian, the world's best chess player!
"Even the South Korean commentators were amazed at your performance, and thought that it was unprecedented to be able to perform at such a high level in a fast chess format with extra seconds.
"How do you evaluate your perfect performance in today's game?"

"Well, I think it's okay?
“Although today’s game seemed to be going smoothly, it was mainly because after move 69, both sides basically used the same variation!
"After that, I successfully built up a strong position in the middle of the abdomen and entered the offensive and killing situation that I am good at, so everything went smoothly.

"It was mainly because of the tight time this time that Liu Jiuduan didn't notice the potential changes above, which allowed me to successfully launch a sneak attack.

"If it's a serious slow game, I think it would be difficult to trick him..."

"Ah! It seems that you, Rui Zhao Jiudan, are still very humble after the big victory!

"Then the second question is: The prize money for this strongest chess player competition is as high as 800 million won. How do you plan to reward yourself after winning the championship?"

"...Ah? A reward?"

"Uh……

"Just buy something, or go somewhere to reward yourself?

"Although this bonus income is not too surprising to you now, but after winning such a valuable championship, you should definitely spend some money and reward yourself!"

"Ah... t-this? If I must say it...

“I want to see if I can hold more competitions outside of East Asia!”

“…Huh?
"A, a competition?"

"Yes!
"I recently heard from Sister An An...ah, my agent, that it seems that many people outside East Asia are paying close attention to me and professional Go competitions.

“I think we can take this opportunity to try to hold some competitions in other parts of the world! Slowly promote it to the whole world!

“I think the Zhaomiao Cup has attracted more people outside the circle to start paying attention to professional Go competitions in China!

"Go is really very interesting! I hope everyone will be willing to try this sport more!" "Thank you for reminding me, reporter! I will discuss this with An An later!"

"Ah this...

"Of course this is a good thing!
"But I mean, it's just what you like to do. Is there anything you want to do?"

"Hmm? But this is what I like!

"It makes me happiest to see more people from different countries participating in the sport of Go!"

"Uh... ok, alright...

"Then the last question: This World's Strongest Chess Players Tournament is recognized as the 'No. 1 Chess Tournament in History', and it can be said to be the most important championship!
"Although it may be a bit exaggerated to say 'one championship is better than two championships', it has basically become a consensus among Go enthusiasts that this championship is better than all other world champions.

"In the last four international competitions, you won the men's individual gold medal at the Asian Games, then won a record-breaking nine consecutive victories at the Nongshim Cup, and then became the first female unlimited world champion in history at the LIG Cup. This time, you won the strongest chess player competition again with a perfect record! This series of extremely outstanding results is very convincing!

"There are already many people on the Internet who think that you are worthy of being called the best in the world!

"I wonder what you think of this view?"

"Eh? The number one person in the world?!

"Of course not! I feel like I am still inferior to Liu Jiuduan and Lei Qi in many ways!
“Although I have won a few championships recently, they were basically all won in shorter competitions. After all, the slow-paced Go championship is definitely more valuable!

"Even in the slow chess LIG Cup, I defeated Lei Qi by relying on the flying knife library that I had studied for a long time. It can't fully reflect my true strength!"

"...Uh...Is this the case...

"I also didn't expect that you, Rui Zhao Jiudan, are actually a senior Zhao hater..."

“…Hmm…

"What is 'Senior Zhaohei'?"

……no!
How could she be so silly as to make fun of herself in public?
At 4:30 p.m. local time, in the players' lounge of the Chinese team at the South Korean Chess Institute.

After watching the interview with Rui Zhao through the live broadcast, Xiao Lei Jiudan couldn't help but complain about his sweetheart in his heart!
What are these things like "only relying on flying knives", "only able to play fast chess", "slow chess championship is of high gold content"...

Which of these isn't something that only a thirty-year-old black man would say?
And you yourself went all black in the interview?!

For a moment, Xiao Lei Jiudan's expression was quite twisted, but even though he complained, Lei Qi could understand why Rui Zhao behaved like that.

After all, this silly guy is usually very modest, and he always says, "I'm not very smart, but I'm not inferior to anyone in terms of hard work."

Although she set a seemingly outrageous goal of "the best in history", it was ultimately just to encourage herself. In the end, she herself didn't care much about it, but she caused countless verbal battles around the world!
but……

The best in the world...?

Although he was complaining, Lei Qi couldn't help but feel a little conflicted when he recalled the content of the interview with his sweetheart.

In his opinion, it was not surprising that Rui Zhao would be asked such a question.

Even when he won two consecutive championships in the Spring Orchid Cup and Tongge Cup in 2025, there were whispers of a so-called "change of dynasty" in the entire circle. What's more, Rui Zhao now has not only won two consecutive World Championships, but also three gold medals in the Asian Games and nine consecutive victories in Nongshim!
Even though Rui Zhao still needs some accumulation to be recognized as the best person in the world, no one can deny that he is qualified to compete for this position!
But the problem is...

What if she becomes the best in the world, can I still confess my love to her?
The reigning chess master, who had originally planned to win the title of "the best in the world" in this strongest chess player competition and then take this opportunity to confess his love to his sweetheart, was at a loss for a moment.

Rui Zhao was extremely strong in this competition of the world's strongest chess players. He completely crushed Liu Shixian in the two final games, and each game was a strong candidate for the best game of the year!
Even in the round-robin match against Rui Zhao, he intended to reduce the consumption between the two, but if it came down to real fighting, under the extra-second competition system, Lei Qi thought to himself that he had no chance of winning against the opponent!

Even in a slow chess competition, I'm afraid I don't have much advantage!
She is the world's Go goddess, China's national princess, the cover character of Time magazine, and a top anchor with more than 100 million fans on the Internet...

If I can't even beat her at chess, then what qualifications do I have to confess my love to her?

Thinking of this, the young Chinese leader bit his lips, and only blank ripples remained in his clever brain.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening suddenly woke up Lei Qi, who was stunned for a moment - it was Shang Chaotian who had just suddenly gone out to answer a WeChat call and came back.

"Ah, Teacher Shang, you're back!

"Whose phone is this?"

Lei Qi asked casually as a greeting, as a way of saying hello to the teacher who had just returned.

"Ah, a leader from the General Administration."

Seeing the student asking, Shang Chaotian responded casually at first, but after thinking for a while, he went straight to the point and asked the student:
“That…Lei Qi.

"I have a problem and I may have to trouble you for a while. I'm sorry to say that first!"

"Trouble?"

"Ah."

Shang Chaotian nodded slightly, and then explained:
“This year’s New Year…

"Can you stay in Dajing with Rui Zhao for two days?"
