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

"Wow, it can't be that exaggerated!"

Faced with Ai Jian'an's somewhat enthusiastic praise, the world's number one player, who had just played what was widely considered the pinnacle of human skill that afternoon and had just been brutally beaten by his own dog that evening, still seemed a little embarrassed:
"Even when I don't open the system lately... uh!"
"Um... I, I mean!"

"Even when I'm not happy practicing against AI, I can still achieve this level of accuracy from time to time before I realize the situation is unfavorable and I have to resort to a decisive move!"
"It's no big deal!"

"...Huh?"

"N-nothing serious?!"

Hearing her star's nonchalant words, Ai Jian'an, who was initially excited, was instantly dumbfounded again, completely unaware of the inexplicable "unhappy situation" that had been interspersed in the middle.

...Uh, no!

Is this kind of incredible situation just commonplace in Xiao Zhao Miao's eyes?!
Just how high has her skill level reached?!

However, just as Ai Jian'an was speechless for a moment, Rui Zhao, who was still practicing chess at the table, lit up her eyes again. In her clear eyes, an even more direct and urgent thought immediately slipped out:

"Then... according to what you said, Sister An'an..."

Is there hope now that Go will be included in the Olympics?

"Uh……

"Of course!"

A tiny ripple spread across Ai Jian'an's excited smile.

She tried her best to give a firm and resolute answer. But that brief and almost imperceptible hesitation still clearly caught Rui Zhao's eye.

"Sister An'an..."

She blinked her beautiful eyes and suddenly blurted out a sentence:

Are you worried... that the hype won't last?

"!!!
"How...how did you know?!"

Ai Jianan almost cried out, her voice cracking slightly from the shock.

Seeing Ai Jian'an's surprised expression, as if she'd been seen through, Zhaojun couldn't help but chuckle, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"I'm not stupid!"
"Having been by your side for so long, Sister An'an, I've learned a little bit about it now!"

Miss Ai was at a loss for words when faced with the quick wit her silly boy displayed!
But as Rui Zhao said, Ai Jian'an is indeed worried about the sustainability of the hype.

Despite the fact that the world's number one player has delivered two consecutive days of inhuman performances, the public opinion has clearly undergone a dramatic change!
The sport of Go has ushered in another massive global surge of popularity since the “She’s not an isolated case” movement swept the globe a few months ago!

Countless Go fans, left-wing citizens, and even neutral individuals moved by the pure beauty of Go are spontaneously speaking out for Go and advocating for Rui Zhao! This force is spreading rapidly online like wildfire!
Unfortunately, the vote on Go's inclusion in the Olympics will be delayed for another year!
In the internet age of information overload and ever-changing hot topics, a year is... far too long!

Although the "pro-siege faction" is currently in high spirits and full of enthusiasm, once this wave of enthusiasm ignited by Rui Zhao's god-like performance naturally subsides over time, it is inevitable that the ubiquitous online trolls in North America will once again confuse the public!

This hidden worry weighed heavily on Ai Jian'an's heart like a stone, making it difficult for her to be completely optimistic, and she could only say that she would do her best.

However, in front of Rui Zhao, the boss, whose thoughts had been exposed by Rui Zhao, quickly masked his true feelings with an even brighter smile, and his tone became light and confident again:
"Uh...but Xiao Zhao Miao! You don't need to worry about that at all!"

"We still have a way!"

Ai Jianan clenched her fist tightly, as if cheering herself and her star performer on simultaneously:
"If you successfully win the Dream Lily Cup in a few days, aren't you planning to take advantage of achieving the feat of 'winning all the championships in a year' to challenge Deepbrain to another match?"
"If the other side agrees, wouldn't we have another hot topic to keep the hype going?!"
"This time you've played such a high-level game and made such a big splash that Deepbrain will have to seriously consider your challenge!"

"...Yes! I understand."

Rui Zhao nodded vigorously, indicating her agreement with Ai Jian'an's plan.

however……

Just as Ai Jian'an thought the conversation was over and was about to get up to arrange the follow-up publicity, the beautiful ninth-level beauty in front of her called her back again:
"But... Sister An'an."

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Hmm? What's up?"

She keenly sensed that what Rui Zhao was about to say might be... rather unusual.

Rui Zhao simply watched her manager quietly, the small smile on her lips widening slightly.

"...PLAN B".

...

...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

It's 12 PM on December 28, 2027, in the media interview area of ​​the Zhigao Junrui Hotel.

At this moment, the venue for the Dream Lily Cup was filled with a frenzied and restless atmosphere, with microphones everywhere and crowds thronging the area.

Even Nian Lili, a seasoned veteran reporter from a state-run media outlet, could clearly feel the constant shoving and squeezing from behind her, like a tidal wave.

The reason is self-evident.

Less than half an hour ago, in the chess room on the top floor of this hotel, the third game of the best-of-five final of the 7th Dream Lily Cup World Go Open Tournament came to a close.

Rui Zhao 9-dan, the world's number one player who is already revered as a god in the global Go world, once again undeniably defeated Lei Qi 9-dan 3-0 in straight sets! He not only won his first Dream Lily Cup title, but also secured his seventh consecutive world championship!
This is not just a simple victory, nor is it just an ordinary championship...

This world championship, like a heavy weight shining with supreme glory, was solemnly placed on the scales of history and instantly suppressed all possible controversies!

It symbolizes the official birth of the "seven consecutive World Championship titles," a feat comparable to a god in the history of human Go!

It represents the realization of the absurd achievement of "winning all the championships in a year," an achievement that seemed unimaginable before Rui Zhao!
It also means...

The winner of all Chinese titles is now officially crowned the "Greatest of All Time"!
This title has been in the works for a long time.

Back when Rui Zhao achieved an unprecedented five-peat in the World Go Championship at the Tongge Cup, some in and out of the Go world already believed that if she could win all the world championships in 2027, she would undoubtedly become the GOAT in Go history! If at that time this statement was merely a forward-looking prediction by some enthusiastic Go fans or professional commentators, and still had a degree of room for debate…

So, a few days ago, when South Korean legendary Go players Choi Myung-ho 9-dan and Yoo Se-hyun 9-dan successively expressed their recognition of Rui Zhao's historical status in public...

After Rui Zhao herself played those two mind-blowing, mind-blowing, peak-level human games in the Dream Lily Cup...

The title of the greatest in history was thus achieved naturally, officially changing hands the moment Wang Zhaojun equaled the world record for the most world championships in Chinese history! There was no room for further doubt!
Just moments before Nian Lili had even processed this landmark event in the history of Go, her work phone received an urgent message from the station—

The highest administrative body of the Republic has officially sent a congratulatory telegram to the country's leading Go player, congratulating her on winning her seventh world championship! She is also congratulated on becoming the youngest "seven-time world champion" in the history of Go!
Yes!

Rui Zhao won her seventh individual championship at the age of 22 years and 308 days!
This speed surpasses Lin Ruixin's previous record of 23 years and 11 months by more than a year!
This achievement filled Nian Lili with an indescribable sense of emotion.

Clearly... Rui Zhaohe should not be associated with the word "youngest".

Zhaojun only achieved professional status at the age of eighteen—an age considered extremely late in the world of Go, a world teeming with geniuses.

She won her first world championship at the age of 21 years and 10 months—an age at which she won her first title, far less dazzling than many chess players who achieved fame at a young age.

Since achieving professional status, she has experienced numerous setbacks—she faced skepticism from Ruixin's fans in the early stages of her professional career, was widely targeted after her remarkable performance in the Yingyi Cup, and had unstable results for nearly half a year in 25... Her journey has been anything but smooth sailing.

Even so, through persistent and unremitting efforts, Zhaojun of the era actually came from behind and surpassed countless precocious geniuses, and finally broke the record of "youngest seventh champion" that had been sealed for many years by Lin Ruixin, the "person with the highest talent" and was regarded as almost insurmountable!
Go (Weiqi)...

...It really is a sport that values ​​accumulation and perseverance the most!
Nian Lili gazed in the direction of the interview area entrance, silently sighing to herself:

Talent is the key... but only daily hard work can cultivate the most brilliant miracles!

The first person in history is indeed the most direct embodiment of the spirit of the ancient sport of Go!
Just then, a commotion broke out at the entrance to the interview area, with the sound of camera shutters clicking and cheers erupting instantly!
—Rui Zhao has arrived!
Seeing Rui Zhao smiling and waving as she slowly walked up to her, Nian Lili took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and prepared to ask the question she had carefully prepared for a long time.

However, just as Nian Lili took a step forward and was about to hand over the microphone, the newly crowned GOAT of Go interrupted her, saying:

"...Ah, Sister Nian!"

"Before the formal interview, may I take this opportunity to announce something to the public?"

"……what?"

Nian Lili's handing over the microphone froze in mid-air!
Here we go again?!

She immediately recalled that after winning the Pinghu rapid chess tournament this year, Rui Zhao also started with the same words and suddenly threw out that earth-shattering declaration of "challenging AI"!

Combined with her previous absurd claim of "forcing AI to come out and fight"... ugh—

history……

Is this going to happen again?!

As the leading reporter from a state-run media outlet, Nian Lili naturally had no reason to say "no" at this moment.

She immediately adjusted her expression, nodded vigorously, and steadily handed the microphone to Rui Zhao, her voice clear and professional:
"Of course! Rui Zhao, please speak!"

The entire interview area fell silent instantly!
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the world's number one person to make a major announcement!

"...First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone."

"I am really happy to win the Dream Lily Cup and achieve my seventh consecutive World Championship title! Every step of the way is inseparable from the support of the chess fans."

The contemporary Zhaojun first smiled and greeted the camera, as approachable and friendly as ever.

But after she finished greeting them, a rare seriousness slowly appeared on her usually innocent and charming face. Her eyes gradually sharpened, as if she were looking directly at a target across the ocean through a camera lens!
"...However, if I had to say...the recent matches have indeed been a little bit boring."

"Actually, I had this feeling several months ago. Although the top human chess players also performed very well, the suspense of the outcome was almost always determined before the game even started."

"For Go, a predetermined outcome is never a happy thing - which is why I issued a formal challenge to Deepbrain's AI after the Pinghu rapid chess tournament."

"However, Mr. Musk at the time did not seem to fully understand my capabilities and very decisively and arbitrarily rejected my proposal."

"But at this moment, as I complete my seventh consecutive World Championship title, I think some of my recent performances have proven that AI's strength is not entirely insurmountable!"
"I have always firmly believed that the potential of human Go players is unfathomable. And the current AI software is still a very long way from becoming a Go god."

"So, Mr. Musk, Deepbrain's team."

"On this occasion, I sincerely hope that you will reconsider my previous challenge request."

"I want to test, in front of everyone, the highest peak that human Go players can currently reach—and also give your proud AI a truly meaningful test."

"I believe this is the answer the whole world wants to see."

...

...

Rui Zhao's declaration was like dropping a nuclear bomb on the global public opinion field!
This instantly caused a huge uproar!

Almost all media outlets, social media platforms, and chess fan forums are frantically discussing, interpreting, and forwarding her "challenge"!
The eyes of people around the world, as if drawn by invisible threads, were all turned to Silicon Valley in North America, to the tech giant called Deepbrain!

After all, the challenge from the world's number one player last time was ignored by the other party.

But now, another four months have passed...

With Huaxia leading the way and adding two more titles, achieving a 100-game winning streak, he is already recognized by the entire world chess community as the best in history!
During this period, his performance on the Go board was absolutely brilliant. In fact, Lin Ruixin's game is widely considered to be the pinnacle of human Go playing!

The assertion that "humans can never defeat" AI seems to be starting to become blurred!
however……

Musk's response came faster than anyone expected!

On the same day that Rui Zhao issued the challenge, on the evening of December 28th, North American local time, Deepbrain's official social media account released a formal response signed by its CEO.

However, despite the speed, the core meaning of this response can still be summarized in a single, cold word...

[NO] (End of Chapter)
