……Eh?

Are you kidding me?

After hearing this, Sun Yi was a little confused again.

But Master Yu was not surprised by his monkey's behavior, and he immediately explained it calmly:

"Hey, Monkey King, let me tell you the truth.

"If this continues, I feel like our Go world will really become one where the females are more powerful than the males...

"Do you know that in our dojo, the proportion of female students has increased significantly recently, whether they are students who sign up for interest classes or classes to advance to a higher rank?

"The ratio of male to female students in the promotion classes is now more than 1:1.5, while the ratio in the interest classes...

"It's already more than one to three!"

"One to three?!"

Hearing this ratio, Sun Yi was a little confused for a moment:

"Is that so exaggerated?"

"Well, this is the situation. If you don't believe me, do you want me to take you around for a look?"

"Uh……"

After hearing the teacher's answer, Sun Yi really needed to digest it - because this ratio was too outrageous!

The Muhu Go Dojo is called a dojo, but in fact, in addition to the "Go Dan Class" for young people who aspire to become professional Go players, it also has "interest classes" for universal Go education.

The latter, as the name suggests, is mainly for children to play on a daily basis and develop multiple talents, but if they really want to find a good seedling, they will also communicate with the children at home to see if they have any plans to achieve a high level.

Sun Yi, who had spent a long time in the Wooden Fox Dojo, naturally knew that the ratio of male to female students in these two classes was generally above 2 to 1, with obviously more boys!

Even...this ratio is only found in a big city like Dongjiang!
I heard from Liao Xiang and other earlier generations that if they were in some second-, third- and fourth-tier cities in their era, there would probably be only one or two girls in a Go interest class, and the rest would be boys.

But now, the ratio of male to female students has completely reversed! This, this, this...

"…Is this because…Rui Zhao?"

After thinking about it, Sun Yi gave an almost inevitable guess.

"What other reason could there be?"

Old Yu Jiudan shrugged, then said seriously:

"The publicity value that Rui Zhao brought to the Go project is subversive! Not only has the project itself become very popular, but it has also brought women into the Go project at an extremely outrageous scale and speed.

"As a competitive sport, Rui Zhao's current achievements in Go are really outstanding, and they also provide us with excellent publicity materials.

"We just took advantage of Rui Zhao's popularity and packaged Go as 'the only sport where women and men can compete equally', so naturally there will be a lot of young mothers willing to bring their daughters to learn..."

"Ah this..."

Hearing the words of his treacherous teacher, Sun Yi's mouth twitched a little:

"Teacher Yu...

“Isn’t this really false advertising?!”

"Oh? False advertising?"

Yu Qingguang pretended to be unhappy, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Do you mean you can beat Rui Zhao? Or do you mean Xiao Nie can beat Shang Ban Li?
"My son is a professional marketer. He helped me look over the promotional plan carefully! This is absolutely based on facts and there is no violation of regulations at all!"

"..."

The captain of the Su Hu team was immediately speechless - "In competitive sports, being bad is the original sin" This statement is still 100% correct even if it is not applied on the court.

Yu Qingguang adjusted his tone and continued:
“Sun Monkey, I don’t know if Elder Wu has ever talked to you about her opinion.

“While female chess players are slightly less talented than male players overall, it shouldn’t be as one-sided as it was before Rui Zhao showed up.

"Mr. Wu believes that there are many reasons behind this, one of which is very critical: the huge gender disparity in the proportion of participants in the Go project, which directly leads to the fact that the number of talented female players and the intensity of competition are far from enough.

"And now, thanks to Rui Zhao's breakthrough, the gender ratio at the bottom of the Go game has completely reversed! If this continues, it's hard to say if there won't be a second or third Rui Zhao in the future...

"Even the little witch, Shangban Li and Zhu Han, they are already walking on the path that Rui Zhao has already opened up!"

Hearing this, Sun Yi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded with a wry smile:
"I see! According to what you said, we really need to be more prepared in the future!

"So...is there anything you need me to do?"

"No, no, no, what does this require?"

Yu Qingguang smiled and said:

"There is no room for falsehood on the chessboard.

“If one day the girls really beat us to a pulp, it would only mean that we are inferior to them in skills. Can we still refuse to admit defeat?

"I... am just giving you a heads-up." You have to know that this is before Rui Zhao is recognized as the best in the world! This will happen only when she becomes the undisputed best in the world...

"I don't know how outrageous the situation will get!"

"Well……"

Sun Yi hesitated for a moment and asked again:

"Do you also think Rui Zhao will win the Sanshuang Cup and achieve three consecutive World Championship titles?"

“Well… objectively speaking, this San Shuang Cup is still uncertain.

"Xiao Lei is still very strong. It cannot be said that Liu Shixian has no chance at all."

Yu Qingguang spoke truthfully about what was in his mind:
"But considering Rui Zhao's progress...

"I'm afraid this is the last time I say 'maybe'..."

...

...

Well……

I don’t know if this is my last chance to beat her!

At 3 a.m. on March 21, Dongjiang Garden Community, Dongjiang City.

Because he was directly exempted from the selection, Lei Qi did not have to go to Dajing to participate in the Sanshuang Cup qualifiers. He has been preparing for the upcoming Sanshuang Cup at home during this period.

And today is the day to officially set off.

Lei Qi, who was about to go out to Caiqiao International Airport, checked his luggage again, but before leaving, he sighed slightly in his heart.

Since he had made an appointment to compete with his "old enemy" and "sweetheart" again in the Sanshuang Cup, Xiao Lei, 9th Dan, had naturally been concentrating on training and preparation during this period, and had also done a lot of targeted research on this imaginary enemy.

But... I have to say it.

In the eyes of the young leader, after her inner strength has reached the highest level, the contemporary Concubine Zhaojun can be said to have no shortcomings!
Perhaps judging purely from the quality of his moves, he thinks he still has a slight advantage as he has regained his "flow", but in other aspects, I'm afraid the famous player Zhaojun has the upper hand!

This means that once the two of them fight, Lei Qi has to be careful about too many things!

You have to be on guard against possible flying knives and pay attention to your opponent's "death". At the same time, you have to always maintain the quality of your moves to avoid being accidentally given a small advantage by your opponent, who then controls the board to your death...

If you take a wrong step, you may fall into an abyss!

And that alone is enough!
The key is that he can clearly feel from Rui Zhao's games in the past three months that even though he is now a strong contender for the title of "No. 1 in the World" and one of the strongest in the world, the opponent is still making rapid progress!
This is so horrifying that it is unbelievable!
As we all know, the higher you go in any field, the harder it is to make progress. But for the famous person Zhaojun, there is no such limitation at all!

The fast chess Athena seemed to want to remove the word "fast chess" and continue to move forward towards the other side of the black and white starry sky, where the God of Go is!

Although Lei Qi was quite surprised by this, it was reasonable when he thought about it.

When it comes to diligence and concentration, even the always humble Concubine Zhaojun herself dares to say that "I am confident that I am not inferior to anyone."

Go never treats the purest and most persistent children unfairly.

Although Lei Qi thought he had worked very hard, he still felt entangled in some small matters from time to time, and could be said to be inferior to himself.

But this inevitably made Lei Qi start to think about a question:
If he was really completely surpassed by Rui Zhao, would that Go elf-like being really still keep a special place for him in his heart?
To be honest, Xiao Lei Jiudan couldn't help but feel a little conflicted about this matter.

But after going through so much, the reigning chess master, who no longer wanted to be comforted by the object of his love, quickly figured it out.

If we must use an inappropriate analogy, aging and death are also things that everyone has to face. But there is no practical meaning in dwelling on this inevitable arrival.

Isn't it the most important thing to enjoy everything in the present moment?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lei Jiudan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

If I'm lucky enough to beat her this time, I'll take this opportunity to confess my love to her!

Anyway, for a simple-minded person like her, as long as she can play a good game, she won’t care much about losing...

The young Chinese leader secretly criticized his sweetheart, and a smile appeared on his face.

And if that doesn't work...

Meeting her is a great fortune in my life!

Thinking of this, Lei Qi evened out his breathing again, then opened the door and greeted his parents who were waiting for him in the living room:
"…Um, Dad, Mom, I'm leaving now!"

"Okay! Have a safe trip!"

Qin Xiaoxue stood up and said goodbye to her son:

"Please also say hello to Rui Zhao for mom!"

Lei Jingming, who was about to send his blessing to his son, was stunned:
"...Hey wait, wife? You..."

"OK, all right!"

Regardless of the fact that his father seemed a little entangled, Lei Qi smiled and took over the conversation:
"I'll help you, Dad, take it with you!
"I will report to you two that I am safe when we get to South Korea!" (End of this chapter)
