"……Um?

"LeLe, what's wrong with you?!"

Suddenly hearing his own leader cursing on the microphone, Huang Bonan's questioning voice naturally came out from the computer speakers.

"Uh……

"No, nothing. I just checked the forum and saw someone slandering me in a roundabout way..."

The captain of the Gezhou team had already realized his own gaffe and hurriedly tried to smooth things over:
"Well... okay! Let's stop discussing the competition here!
“Anyway, today’s game results are pretty good overall!
"Although Rui Zhao defeated Liu Shixian today, which was indeed a bit scary, but considering that she used a flying knife and won against a stick, it's not that bad - as long as the flying knife is not used on the Thunder God, it's good news!

"As for the Thunder God, he also played well today. His moves were flawless, and he forced Sun Wukong to admit defeat after 193 moves!

"Xiao Ji also brought us good news! After a fierce battle, she entered the semi-finals, which keeps our entire network's hope alive! This is also a good thing!
"And the only thing that makes me a little unhappy is..."

At this point, Lele frowned subconsciously and looked at the last game of the quarterfinals, which had not yet ended but the overall situation had been basically decided...

"...How come this Zeng Gou has made it to the semi-finals?!!"

——Yes, I do.

Lei Qi was in good shape today. Although Rui Zhao won, he lost a flying knife. Ji Qiujuan, the last hope of the entire network, went one step further. The overall result of the game was quite in line with the wishes of the group of Fu Ru.

The only surprise was that Zeng Guangwen actually had the last laugh after an extremely fierce battle - now he had an advantage of one and a half points and only one point of small official pieces was left on the board. In a duel of this level, he could not lose anyway.

This also means that the Sky-roaring Dog under the Queen's seat has entered the top four of the World Championship for the first time! This matter has made the various princes in the encirclement network more or less concerned.

After all... Xiao Ji is the only one left in the encirclement of the Sanshuang Cup.

Not to mention Rui Zhao's success in defeating the two leaders Hua Han, the Queen's dog alone went further than more than 90% of the encirclement network members. Doesn't this just prove that most people in the network are not as good as the guard dog raised by Queen Zhao? !
This is such a blow to morale!

“…Ahem!”

At this time, in response to the topic raised by Alliance Leader Bian, Huang Bonan controlled his voice and pretended to be calm and gave his opinion:

"Well...it's not surprising!

"If I have to say, I feel Chu Jun is stronger, but the gap between the nine-dan players below Sun Yi is not that big. It all depends on their form. It's not surprising that Zeng Gou can beat Xiao Chu!"

The fermented bean curd lovers in Lian Mai quickly agreed with Lao Longbo's opinion.

Indeed, if we were to rank the top chess players in the world, it would be something like this:
[T0: Lei Qi, Rui Zhao, Liu Shixian]

This one is undoubtedly recognized as one of the top three in the world.

Although the young master of the Liu family has been repeatedly blocked by the two Chinese "post-05" stars in various competitions recently, and has already fallen behind, if the young master Liu is placed down, it would obviously be an underestimation of him, so this ranking is maintained for the time being.

【T0.5: Sun Yi】

Needless to say, as a famous "strength and weakness identifier", Monkey King must be listed in a separate category to show respect.

However, from the T1.5 "strong first-class wall" to the current T0.5 "super first-class wall", the progress of Sun Yi, who was crowned the world champion, in the past two or three years is obvious to all. No one dares to question his identity as the so-called "first person under the leader".

[T1: Xiong Siyi, Ji Qiujuan, Chu Jun]

Although the gap between them and the subsequent T2 level is not very obvious, judging from the overall recent performance, the strength of these three is still somewhat stronger than others, and it is necessary to list them in a separate category.

[T2: Main players of other mid-to-high-level Weiqi teams plus non-main players such as Guan Sheng, Zeng Guangwen, Yang Manjing, Peng Wendong, and Tang Guansheng]

There are more and more people in this group, so I won’t mention them one by one. A small half of the fermented bean curd group is in it.

As for the remaining half... there doesn't seem to be any need to list them separately.

If you can't even rank in T2, you'll basically just be a mood-setter or support person in the anti-Zhao cause!

Just like Old Longbo himself, although he is the top think tank of the encirclement network, if we really analyze it from the perspective of combat power, it can be said that it is completely unacceptable...

Ah, I got off topic.

In short, if we analyze according to the above levels, although Chu Jun in T1 is indeed stronger than Zeng Gou in T2, the strength gap between everyone below T0.5 is not that big.

You said that the Sky-Roaring Dog raised by the Queen Mother was able to bite Chu Jun. It seems that there is nothing strange about it. In terms of news level, it might not be as good as the little witch who beat Lin Ruixin by half a point!
However... Alliance Leader Bian did not accept this explanation so quickly, and instead added:

"Not Uncle Long! You've missed the point!" We all know what level Zeng Guangwen's strength is - after all, we are all in the circle, so how can we not know what everyone's strength is?
"But isn't the core question: Why is Zeng Gou at this level?!"

Why... am I at this level?

When Bian Lele raised this question, there was confusion in the microphone, as if no one understood what their leader meant.

The captain of the Gezhou team naturally knew what everyone was confused about, and immediately knocked on the table and continued to explain:
"To be honest, isn't Zeng Gou's main job now to beg for bones from Rui Zhao's fans on live broadcast? Playing chess is just a side job!

"Even three years ago, he was still considered the 'worst player'!
"Why is it so strange that we can't even beat such a 'part-time chess player'?!
"Even Lin Dazui, who is considered the most talented player in history, has seen unstable performance despite his daily live broadcasts in the past few years!
"It can't be that Zeng Guangwen is more talented than internet celebrity Lin?!"

After hearing this, there was another round of whispering on the microphone.

It seemed that after being reminded by Alliance Leader Bian, quite a number of people were indeed puzzled by Comrade Xiaotian Dog's progress in the past two or three years, so they immediately started a discussion.

But at this moment, a voice that rarely appeared in the microphone group suddenly sounded:
“That Lele… have you watched Zeng Guangwen’s live broadcast?

"His live broadcast is completely different from Lin Ruixin's!"

"Hmm? Prodigal?"

Seeing that Lang Haishen, who usually doesn't talk much, rarely expressed his opinion, Alliance Leader Bian immediately straightened his back and listened attentively:
"You mean...these two can't be compared?"

"What do you think?"

The prodigal son tells the story:

“Although Zeng Guangwen is indeed very good at making things happen and has a great show effect, have you never noticed what he is broadcasting every day?
"I was either rehearsing games with Rui Zhao or discussing chess moves with Hua Ran. It can be said that I never left the chessboard.

“The CG of his defeat by Rui Zhao in a duel alone could be edited into a three-hour compilation!

“Moreover, what Zeng Guangwen said in the live broadcast was really useful!

"Perhaps in order to balance the live broadcast effect and the concentration of the practice, he basically talks about whatever comes to his mind during the live broadcast of the practice, and he just puts his ideas in his mind directly into his mouth without any reservation!
“I am now leading the players of the Zhao Miao Cup Tian Xiang team, and I always suggest them to watch Zeng Gou’s live broadcast more often - this is really a serious commentary of the top chess players playing against each other, and it often brings a lot of fun and jokes!

“You think he’s a comedian, but actually he’s just practicing for fun!

"Looking back at Lin Ruixin, could 30% of the content he broadcast was about Go?"

"Uh...hiss——"

"If you put it that way...it does seem to make sense, right?!"

Alliance Leader Bian pondered for a moment and then took a breath, suddenly understanding the whole thing!
After all, he had only live-streamed his daily chess practice process, which was essentially no different from those online writers who live-streamed typing, or online editors who live-streamed reviewing manuscripts. It didn't reduce his workload at all!
On the other hand, Lin Ruixin in previous years... uh...

Just don’t mention it!

"… In addition, everyone needs to understand: Who does Zeng Guangwen practice with every day?

"With that Queen Zhao!!!"

At this time, Lang Haishen continued to speak, as if he had to correct the wrong impression of the group of fermented bean curd fans in the group today:

"As everyone knows, the more you practice and review with people who are better at Go, the faster you improve.

"To use an inappropriate analogy: can a close secretary who is always by the side of a big boss and knows everything about him be an ordinary person?!"

“…I understand!
"I understand, I understand, I understand!"

Hearing this, Alliance Leader Bian, who was reminded of Secretary Wang in an anti-gangster drama a few years ago, suddenly reacted.

Although Zeng Guangwen looks much more harmless than the hateful deputy mayor's secretary, his achievements are more convincing than anything else.

Now he already has the overall championship of the Chinese Weiqi League, three individual awards of the Chinese Weiqi League, the Asian Games gold medal, the Nongshim Cup championship which he won easily... and even reached the semi-finals in the World Championships!
You know, Alliance Leader Bian’s best record in the World Championships was only the semi-finals!

I really can't believe that Zeng Guangwen has accumulated such good results without realizing it?!
He is indeed the number one lackey of the ultimate boss!!!
Just as Bian Lele was sorting out his thoughts and planning to remind everyone in the group that they must be fully prepared and fight back when they encounter the dog under the Queen's seat, Lao Kuai, who always makes some psychological remarks from time to time, seems to have discovered a brilliant point...

"Hey! Now, I suddenly discovered something!
"Have you noticed an objective law:

"Recently in our circle, it seems that the closer you are to Rui Zhao, the better your performance, while the more you oppose Rui Zhao, the worse your performance?!" (End of this chapter)
