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

"Rui Zhao...

"This is really not human..."

July 10, Gezhou Hotel, Tongge Building.

Chu Jun, who had just finished reviewing the second game of the finals, couldn't help but mutter to himself as he went downstairs, his heart filled with helplessness towards his final opponent.

Five consecutive World Championship titles, a 27-game winning streak, and a 58-game winning streak in official competitions...

The nation's leader's "hundred-game winning streak in rapid chess" has not yet reached its end, and in the blink of an eye, he has erected one even more awe-inspiring monument after another in this World Championship arena, which represents the highest level of competition!

This dominance, which transcends different competition formats and indiscriminately crushes all challengers, is simply too suffocating! It even gave Chu Jun a sense of despair and helplessness, to the point that he couldn't wait to cry to his lovely girlfriend to relieve the depression he felt after a series of crushing defeats.

Hmm... Well, losing a game is definitely frustrating!

I really don't want to be close to Jingjing!

After silently offering a small explanation to himself, he returned to the third floor and pushed open the door to the players' lounge. However, the expected hug from his girlfriend did not materialize.

That familiar figure was looking down, her fingers flying across the phone screen. The screen light reflected on her face, outlining her slightly furrowed brows and tightly pursed lips—Yang Manjing's standard expression when she was engrossed in something.

Well……

I was hoping for a hug...

The 1.8-meter-tall, whiny girl felt a little wronged, but it was absolutely impossible for Little Turtle to complain about his lovely girlfriend!

Chu Jun suppressed his minor emotional outburst and immediately put on a helpless yet slightly self-reproachful smile:

"...Oh, I'm sorry, Jingjing..."

"Rui Zhao has once again made a fool of us in this game..."

"...Ah! Little Glasses, you're back!"

Yang Manjing then suddenly raised her head, her eyes, which always held a cunning glint, now flickered with an unquenched flame.

"Wait a minute! I'll be right there after I finish this!"

After saying that, he immediately lowered his head again and continued to type rapidly on the screen, as if he were having a brain-teaser fight with some troll on the other side of the radio waves.

???

"After saying that?"

Chu Jun stood there, stunned for a moment.

Jingjing is laning against someone?! And judging from her tone... the battle seems pretty intense?!

Hasn't she been queuing on her alt account for ages?! Why is she doing this today...?
The sense of grievance that Pengze's captain had been suppressing suddenly surged up again.

He was clearly being completely dominated by the world's number one player on the court, but as soon as he stepped off the court, he saw his closest girlfriend passionately arguing with some random netizen... The emotional contrast was quite significant.

But then he thought: he had lost the game so decisively and without any suspense, and had barely caused Rui Zhao any real trouble. After losing like that, it seemed he really had no right to ask for any consolation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chu, a ninth-dan player, quickly packed away his grievances and confusion, stuffing them deep into the back of his heart. He then moved closer, half-squatting down against the sofa armrest, looking up at Empress Mulan who was still focused on "outputting" damage, and cautiously asked:
"What are you talking about with others?!"

Miss Witch tapped the screen twice more, as if delivering a final blow, before letting out a long sigh, slamming her phone onto the sofa, and angrily beginning to vent:

"Ugh! I'm so angry—it's all because of those two amateur tournaments in Europe and North America last night!"
"It's a good thing that female chess players from Europe and America are winning championships, which shows that more and more girls are starting to learn chess and are taking Rui Zhao as their role model!"
"As a result, those boxers on the Chinese internet who are a bit dim-witted somehow took the wrong medicine and actually started to criticize you!"
"They say men are less intelligent than women, which is why you were completely outmatched in the finals!"
"Listen to this! What kind of ridiculous logic is this?!"
"If that's what they say, then I'm not even as strong as Lei Qi right now! Does that mean I'm dragging all the women down?!"
"In the end... isn't it all because Rui Zhao herself is too eccentric?!"
"And then they come to trample on you?! Why should they?!"

Watching his girlfriend indignantly waving her little fists, putting all her effort into standing up for him, Chu Jun's previous grievances vanished, leaving only an irrepressible smile and a warm, touching feeling.
"Oh, Jingjing, don't get so worked up about this! I don't care anyway!"

"If I have to say...

"I just want to beat Rui Zhao once, but it's so incredibly difficult!"
"Rare...it's almost despairing!"

It wasn't until this point in the conversation that the slightly agitated witch seemed to suddenly realize that she had been so focused on "fighting" online to protect her boyfriend's image that she had overlooked the fact that her boyfriend, who had just returned from a tough battle, needed emotional support.

"Ah...it's okay! You're already super, super amazing!"

She quickly moved closer to Chu Jun and patted him on the back reassuringly with her small hand.

"You've made it to the World Championship finals this time, and you already have a shiny silver ID! It matches my gold pink ID perfectly!"

"If you already have a gold ID and I'm still a gold fan, wouldn't that make me look really bad?!" Hearing his girlfriend's obviously intentional joke, Xiao Chu Jiuduan nodded, his smile widening.

Yang Manjing added with considerable emotion:
"...Besides, there's nothing we can do if we can't beat Rui Zhao!"

"after all……

"She's a monster who single-handedly turned public opinion around all over the world!"

...

...

hey hey...

The impact of this news... is just too explosive!

On the same day, at the Tongge Hotel, in the backstage work area of ​​the "Go Xiao Zhao" live stream room.

The noise from the main screen of the live stream was blocked out by the soundproof wall. Ai Jian'an sat in front of her work computer, her eyes filled with incredible amazement.

The two laptops in front of her displayed different windows: real-time updated global social media trending lists, rolling headlines from major news websites, and opinion dashboards from several data analysis platforms... The colorful data streams, like a rushing river of information, were reflected in her focused eyes, creating new waves time and time again.

Although in the past six months, Rui Zhaojun has already become a shining "election banner" in the hearts of Western liberal media and left-wing citizens, Ai Jianan clearly predicted that once Rui Zhaojun achieved the unprecedented milestone of "five consecutive WorldSkills titles" today, it would inevitably set off a new wave of huge media frenzy worldwide...

however……

The scene before her eyes was far beyond the boundaries of her imagination!

Almost all mainstream social media platforms, online media, and news aggregation platforms on the screen unanimously reserved the top spot on Toutiao for the young chess master who won his fifth title in Gezhou!

The wording is increasingly shocking and historical!
What made Ai Jian'an's heart race the most was the overwhelming reports, discussions, and praise, which perfectly resonated with Lily Brooks's slogan "SHE'S NOT THE ONLY!" which had just stirred up a huge wave of controversy half a day earlier!

The existing outcry, coupled with Rui Zhao's historically significant victory... the two collided and merged like a supernova explosion, then expanded exponentially! Together, they propelled the name "Rui Zhao" and the closely associated left-wing issues to an absolute pinnacle that almost dominated the global public opinion arena!
At this moment, the personal prestige and social symbolic significance of the contemporary Zhaojun reached an extreme that even Ai Jian'an found breathtaking!
The stable and outstanding performances of emerging female Go players such as Yang Manjing, Uesaka Rei, and Zhu Han in various competitions had already laid the groundwork for a "leap forward in the overall strength of female Go players." The performance of the world's number one player has further turned the debate between the left and right factions over the past six months into a one-sided massacre.

At this moment, the fact that female players won the championships of the two unrestricted amateur Go tournaments in Europe and North America has completely torn away the last fig leaf of the right wing that "Rui Zhao is just an isolated case"!
The right wing has now lost its last excuse. Under the double crushing force of "political correctness" and "factual support," the battlefield of public opinion has become one-sided and unbalanced!

On the pages of several traditional media outlets and bloggers that she closely monitored and whose stances were either right-leaning or conservative, a torrent of purge comments flooded in.

A few months ago, these right-wing media outlets made assertions that Rui Zhao's "short-term achievements were merely a fluke due to the male players' negligence" and that "the strength of female players will inevitably gradually return to its rightful place." Now, these pronouncements have been precisely dug up by left-wing supporters and are being repeatedly whipped and ridiculed like trophies.

Aside from shifting the topic, right-wing netizens have virtually no way to organize any effective resistance!
The last stubborn stronghold of the conservatives on the high ground of public opinion is now like a candle flickering in the wind, and it may collapse into a pile of rubble at any moment!
Upon seeing this, Miss Ai couldn't help but clench her fists tightly. The surging excitement in her heart gradually began to replace her initial disbelief, almost overflowing from her words!
Although she and Rui Zhao reached a consensus before the competition and she instructed them that once they successfully won the five-time champion title, they should give a post-competition interview to officially reveal their ultimate goal of promoting the globalization of the sport—Go's inclusion in the Olympics!
Even though Ai Jianan had made thorough plans, she still couldn't help feeling a little uncertain.

Entry into the Olympics—this is the holy grail that even chess, with its long history and deep roots, has yet to fully grasp!

The International Olympic Committee's threshold, the project's popularity assessment, competitors' blockade, potential geopolitical impact... countless insurmountable obstacles lie ahead.

Despite Miss Ai's previous groundwork laid using Rui Zhao's influence, all they could say was that they had found a lever at the right time that could potentially shift the course of history. As for whether they could succeed... that remained a big question mark.

however……

Ai Jianan's gaze involuntarily refocused on the global media storm behind the screen.

Fueled by Rui Zhao's unprecedented five-time champion achievement and her victories in two major European and American tournaments, a left-wing trend that had previously remained merely a media report and social discussion suddenly gained momentum, rapidly coalescing in online public opinion! It began to evolve and escalate into a social movement sweeping across Europe and America and starting to spread globally!

If Go could be linked to this massive wave of social movements and transformed into a symbolic project of this global women's rights movement...

Therefore, the chances of successfully qualifying for the Olympics will undoubtedly increase significantly!

Even say...

It's probably already very close!
Little Zhao Meow...

They've really accomplished something unimaginable!
Ai Jian'an's eyes lit up instantly! At the same time, she couldn't help but look at the live broadcast from the scene.

At this moment, Rui Zhao, the newly crowned five-time world champion and the world's number one player, is slowly walking towards the interview area and standing in front of rows of cameras and microphones.

Countless blazing spotlights focused on her, outlining her figure as if she were a deity descended to earth. Yet her expression remained calm, her eyes clear, as if she were simply standing in front of an ordinary podium.

But Ai Jianan knew—

This young woman, only twenty-two years old, is about to announce to the entire planet Earth in her signature gentle tone…

This marks a crucial step in propelling Go, an intellectual sport with thousands of years of history and imbued with Eastern philosophy, onto the global stage! (End of Chapter)
