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

[News: Queen Chao has just posted another message on social media, announcing a media conference to be held in Dongjiang on December 31st!]

[As the title suggests, the pop diva just announced through her Go account, Xiao Zhao, that she and An An will hold a media conference at the Dongjiang Hotel the day after tomorrow and will answer questions about the handicap challenge match!]

[Having gone this far, it's probably no joke!]

The Chinese Chess Association's official WeChat account just posted a message expressing understanding for Rui Zhao's decision to withdraw from all professional competitions and pledging to actively cooperate with the arrangements for this "Special Challenge Match with a Handicap".

It seems we're about to witness the most insane tournament in the history of Go, and even in the history of world competitive sports!!!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

[Hey, is this for real?! Is Empress Zhao really going to "let the world go first, seeking only defeat"?!]

Has anything this outrageous ever happened in the history of competitive sports?!

Why do I feel like I'm witnessing history?!

[Hiss—to be honest. Even though this competition sounds and looks absurd, I'm actually curious to see it!]

[I was already getting a bit bored watching the queen dominate weaker opponents in various competitions lately. Just watching her performance, this "Zhao Yong Xing Sheng" strategy really wasn't worth watching... I'm even considering becoming a fan!]

【But if we do this... oh my god!】

I need to check the snack inventory again!

This match is definitely going to be amazing, I'm already waiting for the live stream!

[I just have one question: What is Empress Zhao trying to achieve?]

What's the point? Just to have a good battle with AI!

It's truly remarkable how the diva has transcended vulgar tastes.

[You can tell from her previous behavior that Go is truly the only thing on her mind!]

No, I never doubt the sincerity of the diva's motives; I'm worried about her wallet.

"Let me first seek defeat, and in that defeat, I will be struck by a thousand swords"—isn't that a bit too arrogant?!

[Let's not even talk about the fact that the challenger could take away a huge prize of ten million dollars from her if he won just one game...]

Even if the challenger loses, they get a $5,000 consolation prize; it's like they're afraid of not being able to give away the money...

That's exactly how it works; only then can it force a fight!

[Let me tell you, the entire internet outside of China is going crazy right now!]

I've seen arrogant people before, but I've never seen anyone this arrogant!

According to rumors, there are currently ten thousand media outlets contacting Ananna to discuss buying broadcasting rights!

[Now there are even petitions going on overseas, urging DeepBrain to step in and fight!]

……

hiss--

Did Rui Zhao really have to go to such lengths?

At 11:30 a.m. on the same day, in Bai Yinhua's home in Bachuan County, Qin Guan Province.

Bai Yinhua's expression stiffened upon seeing the discussion thread about the game of Yi Guo forwarded by a student.

To be honest, Bai Yinhua was well aware of Rui Zhao's sincere dedication and extraordinary skill in Go...

But what was happening now was still completely beyond his comprehension! To the point that he didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment!
They offered ten million dollars to force the AI ​​to gamble on an almost impossible chance of victory...

Is it really possible for someone to do this?

But the facts were already laid bare before him, leaving him no choice but to believe them!
Just as he was trying to process the situation, his phone vibrated rapidly again!
The screen lit up; Qu Hui had sent another new message:
[Teacher Bai! Did you see that?!]

[Isn't Sister Rui Zhao amazing?! She's even the first in the world to do so!!!]

The two WeChat messages were filled with undisguised excitement and admiration, followed by a series of exclamation marks and starry-eyed emojis!
"..."

hey hey...

Don't you think about what would happen if she lost?!

Seeing the excited and joyful message from her student, Bai Yinhua was momentarily speechless!

This is for you to go first!

The opponent is a world champion-level professional Go player, not those two players from the Xidu team who can't win the championship right now!

In the past, Qu Hui would probably have already come bounding over from next door, chattering excitedly and discussing things with him endlessly.

However, since Qu Hui achieved professional ranking, her entry into a professional institution for more systematic training has been put on the agenda.

Although Qu Hui's skill level is only barely enough to qualify for the women's division, it is no surprise that she failed to pass the second Zhaomiao Cup qualifier after the ranking tournament, and there are no large-scale competitions for her to play in for the time being.

However, as the "only disciple of the world's number one player" and the "youngest record holder for national professional ranking," Qu Hui quickly received numerous offers from professional teams, who expressed their willingness to cultivate her as a key reserve player.

Ultimately... the servant, who had been entrusted by his master to temporarily manage the coaching affairs, chose to place Qu Hui with the Xidu team.

On the one hand, Xidu is not too far from Bachuan County, which makes it convenient for Qu Hui's grandmother to take care of her, and also makes it convenient for her parents to visit often or for Qu Hui herself to go home from time to time.

On the other hand, the Xidu team also has two 9-dan players, Zhu and Peng, who have surrendered to the Tianhou family. Naturally, they will take good care of the young master of the Tianhou family—they should even thank the Tianhou for the high level of trust she has placed in them!
Therefore, Qu Hui has now left Bachuan and gone to Xidu to begin a more systematic and professional training life. Her contact with Bai Yinhua can only rely on WeChat. However, Bai Yinhua still finds it difficult to blindly agree with her student's high level of optimism.

After a moment of contemplation, he took out his phone and dialed the number of his old friend who was right next to the eye of the storm.

The call connected quickly, and Zeng Guangwen's signature smooth voice came through—though it carried a hint of urgency:
"Old Hua, what's up?! Make it quick!"

"I've been very busy lately, carrying a heavy responsibility!"

"Fatty Zeng! What exactly is going on with Rui Zhao?!"

Bai Yinhua went straight to the point:
"'Letting someone go first and then seeking defeat'... isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?!"

Zeng Guangwen on the other end of the phone seemed taken aback by the sudden barrage of questions, and then his voice, filled with helplessness and a hint of grievance, came through:

"Old Hua! You're asking me?!"
"I had no idea what was going on beforehand!"

Comrade Greyhound seemed to have found someone to confide in. He, who had initially seemed eager to keep things brief, immediately began pouring out his grievances:
"I only realized what was going on when I saw the announcement. What does it mean that the diva has been asking me to be her sparring partner and let her go first...?"

"So that's where they were lying in ambush!"

"Sparring partner, please go first?"

Bai Yinhua keenly grasped this key word.

"Yes!"

Zeng Guangwen's tone carried a hint of unbearable regret:

"It was probably after the quarterfinals of the Dream Lily Cup. That night, the queen of pop suddenly came over and said she wanted to test my strength and see if I could withstand her handicap."

"They even said that if even Rang Xian can't hold out, then there's probably no need to keep me around..."

"That scared me!"
"You know perfectly well that the most precious thing I have right now is this dog position!"

His voice carried an exaggerated sense of relief, as if he had just survived a catastrophe.
"I quickly said that it was absolutely not that bad! I spent many days with the Queen, trying my best to win a game!"
"But as of last night, the Queen and I had played ten games with me giving each other the first move, and I hadn't won a single one..."

"……ah?!
"Even with a handicap, you haven't won a single game?!"

He repeated it unconsciously, his tone full of disbelief.

“Hey, hey…

"What do you mean by that skeptical tone?"

The dog on the other end of the phone seemed to instantly bristle:
"If you're so good, then you do it!!!"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

He quickly tried to calm his old friend down—especially since letting him go was truly a freebie:
"I just have to say, Rui Zhao is really strong!"
"When Xiaohui was discussing this with me just now, she was very confident that there would be no problem."

"It just goes to show that students really understand their teachers!"

"Hmph! Good thing it isn't!"

Zeng Guangwen's tone softened slightly, but it still carried a hint of resentment.

Then his voice lowered again, and he continued his tearful and blood-soaked accusations:

"...Old Hua, you have no idea how miserable I am!"

"When we lost our tenth game last night, my legs felt weak and I almost thought I was out of the game!"
"Fortunately, the Queen was magnanimous and said that considering my past performance of duties, she would allow me to atone for my crimes by performing good deeds..."

"Ah! The title of Empress Zhaoci Baidi is indeed well-deserved!"
"Praise the Queen of Pop!"

"..."

Hey, hey... Fatty Zeng!

Are you sure you weren't being manipulated by Rui Zhao?!
Bai Yinhua couldn't help but complain in her heart, thinking that this Empress Zhao was indeed becoming more and more like a queen—both in appearance and inwardly.

However, compared to the many hardships Zeng Gou suffered, Bai Yinhua is naturally more concerned about another issue at the moment:
"Uh... Fatty Zeng, wait a minute!"

Bai Yinhua forcefully interrupted Zeng Guangwen's seemingly determined to continue "complaining."

"Just because you can't beat Rui Zhao doesn't mean others can't!"
"Putting aside the others, Xiao Lei is clearly better than you!"

"what?!"

On the other end of the phone, Zeng Guangwen seemed to have heard the biggest joke, letting out a short, disdainful laugh!

"Old Hua! How can you say that!"

"Although Xiao Lei is indeed stronger than me...that's true!"

"But how long do you think I can last in these ten games!"
"I'll lose all my advantage around the 80th move."

"I estimate that Xiao Lei can only last for another twenty rounds at most!"
"A hundred hands should be about right!"

"……Eh?!"

Bai Yinhua was completely dumbfounded!
He held his phone, his eyes wide open, as if he had heard something completely beyond his comprehension!

Uh, no?
Even if Zeng Pangzi were to go first, he would still be in Rui Zhao's hands...

Can it only last for about eighty rounds?! (End of Chapter)
