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

"Komaki Nagakute...?"

"Tsk! It's such a shame Lele doesn't go into historical comedy!"

Meanwhile, in a budget hotel near the Huaxia Chess Academy in Dajing City, Huaxia.

Upon hearing the code name for this "final special operation," Kuai Liang, who was attending the mobilization meeting, couldn't help but frown slightly.

As a genuine "post-90s" generation, he naturally came into contact with village battle games produced by Koei Tecmo during his upbringing and had some knowledge of some famous historical events from the Japanese Warring States period.

So, upon hearing the words "Komaki Chōchōte," Lao Kuai's brows furrowed slightly under the harsh white light, and he naturally thought of a certain famous old tortoise from Japan.

The Battle of Komaki-Nagakute was a famous battle that determined the course of history during the Sengoku period in Japan.

At a critical moment when the "people of the world" almost held the fate of the entire Japanese archipelago in their hands, the old turtle seized the opportunity at such a desperate juncture, used intelligence, and decisively launched a brilliant surprise counterattack, causing the so-called "people of the world" a great headache. In the end, they had no choice but to force the old turtle to submit through diplomatic channels!
What is the core significance of this battle?
It did not immediately change the course of history, nor did it rapidly alter the balance of power between the two sides...

Instead, it demonstrated its power and prestige in front of that powerful figure, earning the respect and fear of its strongest opponent, ultimately forcing them to sit down and negotiate! It was a battle with maximum value for united front work!
The situation faced by the old Japanese turtle back then is exactly the same as that faced by many fermented bean curd companies today, so the code name for this operation is quite fitting.

And, more importantly...

The choice of this action name clearly reflects the ulterior motive of the Great Alliance Leader, who believes that "a moment of patience brings peace, and a step back opens up a vast sky."

It's important to understand that although that "ruler of the land" was incredibly powerful for a time, the ultimate winner of the Warring States period in Japan was actually that old tortoise who survived to the very end...

...Holy crap!
This dog, Bi Lele, is really still up to its old tricks!
Thinking of this, Lao Kuai couldn't help but twitch the muscles on his face.

Incidentally, when Bian Da, the leader of the alliance, received the suggestion from Zhu Yuanjun to ambush Rui Zhao, he originally intended to use "Gaopingling" as the code name for this final operation to reflect the essence of the operation: "Come on, deceive! Come on, ambush!"

But the officer couldn't bring himself to say it and immediately said he would use that name as the operation's code name, and then quit! Lele was so frightened that she quickly promised to change the name later, which finally calmed down the special forces captain.

But who knew that even with a new name, it would still be the same old thing!
Thinking of this, Kuai Liang, who was always quick to speak, immediately interjected:
"Hey, Haji! You've already been killed by Empress Zhao like this, and you're still thinking about causing trouble..."

"Don't let us all get dragged down with us!"

However, Lao Kuai's words seemed to sink without a trace, and everyone in the microphone seemed not to hear them. All that could be heard was Bian Lele's voice, coordinating and directing the operation after announcing its official start:
"First of all... sir! There are still about half a month until the final battle. Ni Jue's throwing knife has been upgraded, so you need to hurry..."

...Wait, what's going on?!

Seeing that he seemed to be treated like he was invisible, Lao Kuai was quite surprised. He thought to himself, "No matter how bad my interpersonal relationships are, they can't be this bad!"
However... he soon discovered the problem:
Perhaps worried that Lao Kuai might suddenly and inconsiderately interrupt the chanting at the height of the mobilization, the leader muted Lao Kuai's microphone at the very beginning of today's mobilization meeting!
"……Depend on!

"So this Hakilo is really a dog!!!"

However, at this moment, Kuai Liang's angry curses still couldn't reach everyone's ears; all that could be heard was Bian Lele's seemingly extremely serious and resolute voice coming from the live stream...

"...Secondly! Everyone, pay attention!"

"Because Rui Zhao is currently ranked first in the domestic rankings, she is naturally at the top of the bubble tournament. It will definitely not be an easy task for us to make sure that the official can run into her!"

"Therefore, everyone, please don't think that this special operation is just a matter for the officer alone!"

"Please take tomorrow's preliminary rounds seriously and try to get as many players into the main tournament as possible so that we can control the overall situation!"

"And when we get to the main stage of the competition, please follow the organization's decisions as much as possible!"

"There's strength in numbers! The tighter we brothers stick together, the greater our chances of winning against them!"

"And if anyone doesn't fight hard to win in the qualifiers and messes things up, allowing outsiders to enter and disrupt our carefully planned strategy..."

At this point, the Alliance Leader's speech quickened, revealing a rare and unprecedented decisiveness:
"...Don't blame us for not being polite to you when we meet in the future!"

...

...

"……call……

"I've finally finished my task!"

The date is May 6th, the day of the Dragon Star Battle qualifiers.

At 3:30 p.m., in a chess room at the Huaxia Chess Academy in Dajing City, Li Zhaokai, who had just finished reviewing the game, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Huh, a mission?"

Hearing this, Zhu Han, who had just lost to his opponent, was a little puzzled.

However, when Li Zhaokai realized that his junior had noticed, he quickly waved his hand:

"Oh, it's nothing!"
"I mean: this time, putting everything else aside, at the very least I have to make it into the main tournament, right?"

"No, no other meaning!" After a brief reply, the Shandong team's captain, afraid of letting something slip, immediately took his leave.

“That… Zhu Han.”

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now?"

"Okay!"

"Thank you, Li Jiuduan! Please make yourself at home!"

Completely unaware of the situation, Zhu Han didn't think too much about it and forced a smile as she responded repeatedly.

Only after watching the senior chess player pack up his chess set and turn to leave did the forced smile on Zhu Han's face fade away like a receding tide, leaving only a deep gloom in his eyes.

We lost again!

Lately... things have really been going badly!
Zhu Han sighed silently, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the chess set on her right, the cool touch coming from her fingertips.

Just as she vaguely sensed, she had indeed made progress over the past year. Her chess sense had become more acute, her calculations more profound, and her handling of complex situations more mature than before.

However... these advances do not seem to have effectively translated into impressive results.

As another prominent name among the "post-10s" generation of Go players, besides the two most dazzling supernovas—Nie Yunyi and Uesaka Rei—Zhu Han's achievements do seem somewhat lackluster in comparison.

Although she was born in November 2010 and is the oldest of the three, even putting aside the fact that she has already reached the quarterfinals of the World Championship and made waves on the international stage, the gap is clearly visible when compared with Nie Yunyi from the same country.

especially……

Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the other side of the chess room, where she could clearly see the conspicuous figure of her peer.

At this moment, Nie Weiping, a 7-dan player, was reviewing the game with Dai Ran. Dai Ran wore a clear look of helplessness and a wry smile, shaking his head repeatedly while also expressing a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

Although Nie Yunyi's expression was unclear, his slightly raised chin and straight back exuded a youthful, spirited vigor.

That guy got a good beating from Sister Rui Zhao a while ago, and he's actually started winning again...

Zhu Han's emotions couldn't help but fluctuate.

This year, she has failed to win both the "Empress" and "Mulan" titles, and was also completely defeated by Nie Yunyi in the Newcomer King finals. She also failed to make it into the main tournament in the Tianyuan Tournament preliminaries.

Having finally secured a spot in the preliminary rounds thanks to the two slots reserved for underage players in the Dragon Star Tournament, they were completely outmatched by the clearly serious Li Zhaokai today and lost without any significant advantage. Meanwhile, Nie Yunyi has advanced to the main tournament of the Dragon Star Tournament for the second consecutive year.

This stark contrast was like pouring oil on the simmering fire of frustration in her heart, making her throat tighten and her eyes inexplicably sting.

Just then, a lively female voice suddenly rang out beside Zhu Han, interrupting her reverie:

"...What's wrong, Hanhan?"
"It's not surprising that you lost to Li Zhaokai in terms of strength now, so why are you so upset!"

Zhu Han suddenly looked up and saw a short girl, fifteen centimeters shorter than her, standing next to her. Even when standing, the girl wasn't much taller than Zhu Han when sitting. She was looking at Zhu Han with her head slightly tilted, her eyes filled with undisguised concern.

However, even though the visitor was indeed just a tiny kid, the rising star of the Qiannan team, being a junior, naturally dared not show any disrespect to the reigning queen, Mulan!

"Sister Jing..."

Zhu Han responded subconsciously, her voice slightly hoarse from just regaining her senses and carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance.

"I can tell you're struggling with yourself again because you've been sitting here for so long without moving."

Yang Manjing didn't directly mention losing the game, but the consolation in her words was obvious, clearly sensing her low spirits.

He naturally pulled over a chess chair and sat down, leaning slightly forward and softening his voice.

Although the witch has always been a bit spoiled by her seniors, she is now nearly twenty years old, holds two titles, and also has to take care of her whiny boyfriend's feelings from time to time. Therefore, she is already quite capable of playing the role of a mature senior in front of her juniors.

"Are you thinking about those two little monsters, the one with the eye-catching bag and the shorty, again?"

Zhu Han pursed her lips and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

She didn't need to hide anything from the witch sister.

"Hey, stop comparing yourself to them!"

The witch, who had extensive experience fighting monsters her own age, couldn't help but laugh:
"It's perfectly normal to discover that there are people who are more talented than you!"
"not to mention……

"I think you're already stronger than I was back then!" (End of Chapter)
