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

Chapter 120: The Great Pass and Tianshan Mountains

Looking at the words [Caller: Wu Yueyun] on the phone screen, Shang Chaotian swallowed subconsciously.

Logically, the old lady has always been a free-spirited person. In the past ten years, she has done almost nothing except playing chess. Even if there is something really important, she will only contact the staff of the chess association and never call him or Lu Wenjie directly.

But today...what is happening?
I hope something has happened!
Shang Chaotian was a little panicked for a moment, and quickly answered the phone, responding respectfully:
"Hello, Mr. Wu! I'm Xiao Shang! Do you have any instructions?"

At this time, a kind and peaceful voice came from the phone, with full energy:
"Chaotian, I'm sorry to call you at this time... I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"

"No need to bother you! I just finished working overtime!"

Shang Chaotian responded quickly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from Wu Yueyun's tone, it didn't seem like anything serious had happened...

This is the good news!

"Oh, sorry to take up a little more of your time!"

Wu Yueyun's voice was still humble and polite, neither arrogant nor conceited.

"Um... I just watched a chess game online. It was played by Man Jing and Rui Zhao..."

"Ah?! You also watched this game?"

Shang Chaotian blurted out what he had said, then immediately sat down again and began to quickly browse the list of people in the game room.

Sure enough, Mr. Wu’s silver ID [Guan Shan Ruo Fei] was on the list!
Yes, even though Wu Yueyun has won eight women’s world championships, which is unprecedented and will not be surpassed for the time being, the color of her ID on the chessboard is not gold powder, but silver, which symbolizes the national champion or world runner-up!

The reason is very simple: strictly speaking, winning the national championship in the unlimited group is much more difficult than the women's world championship, so when a player has both silver and gold ID qualifications, the Yigu platform chooses to give priority to the silver ID.

Wu once lived in South Korea. When she was a guest chess player at the South Korean Chess Institute, she defeated two legendary figures in the South Korean chess world and won the title of South Korea's "National Player" - the women's national champion in the unlimited group. This is the only time in the world that she has won this title, which is unprecedented.

Although Mr. Wu's title of South Korea's "National Player" lasted only one year and was obtained abroad, considering that the overall level of South Korean Go was stronger than that of China at that time, and as long as the title was obtained, it would be considered a national champion, so the Yiguo platform did not hesitate to plate the ID "Guan Shan Ruo Fei" with silver, and no one dared to have any objection to this.

...

After hearing what Shang Chaotian said, Wu Yueyun understood the situation:
"From what you said... you are also watching this game? But why don't I see your golden account of [Chaotianque]?"

Shang Chaotian was embarrassed for a moment: "Uh, I, I usually use a small account now! It's not conspicuous and can avoid some troubles..."

Mr. Wu joked, "Oh? That's very much like a seven-time champion! People like me who have never won a world championship don't have to worry about this."

Shang Chaotian was sweating. "Mainly, mainly because my position in the chess association is quite sensitive... It's not that I think it's a big deal just because I won a few championships by chance..."

"Haha, I was just joking, don't be so nervous!"

There was an obvious smile in Wu Yueyun's voice.

But just when Shang Chaotian was slightly relieved, Mr. Wu asked again:

"But... didn't you also use the account [Chaotianque] to play a game of chess with Rui Zhao last month? Why didn't you worry about the sensitivity of your identity at that time?"

my God!

The old lady came with bad intentions tonight!

Shang Chaotian secretly groaned in pain and quickly said:

"Mr. Wu, please listen to my explanation slowly! This is what happened..."

"Alright, alright! I heard Zou Yang talk about the matter between Bai Yinhua and Rui Zhao a few days ago. You don't have to waste your breath on it!"

Seeing that Shang Chaotian seemed really panicked, Wu Yueyun stopped joking and his tone gradually became serious.

"... Chaotian, what do you think of Rui Zhao?"

Although Mr. Wu did not say what the aspect was, Shang Chaotian understood that since Mr. Wu did not specify it, he must be talking about playing chess!

"Absolutely talented!"

Shang Chaotian answered without hesitation:
"From the game just now, it seems that this kid plays very methodically and has strong judgment! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to maintain the advantage for such a long time.

“It’s just… maybe I haven’t played enough games, so when it comes to chaotic battles and tight time situations, I’m still not as good as the little witch.

"But I think after she gets promoted and participates in more high-level competitions, she will gain more experience and may not be worse than Yang Manjing in the future!"

"It's rare to see you speak so highly of someone!"

There was a hint of smile in Mr. Wu's words again.

“But after watching this game, I feel the same way!
"At first, I looked at the photo of this girl and thought that such a beautiful girl could calm down and play chess! Now it seems that I was worrying too much...

"Well, Chaotian, I have a suggestion...ah, just a suggestion! Don't think too much." "It's not easy for China to produce a particularly talented girl. Don't we have a wild card for this 'Wu Yue Cup'?" I looked and saw that the list of players for this tournament would be announced after the qualifying tournament.

"When you see this... do you consider giving the wild card directly to Rui Zhao? It's a good opportunity for her to gain some experience!"

Ok? !

The old lady actually thought so? !

Shang Chaotian's eyes widened when he heard this, and he quickly said:
"Mr. Wu, to be honest, I had this plan in mind!"

"Originally?" Wu Yueyun immediately grasped the key point.

"Well, it seems you don't know yet." Shang Chaotian quickly explained: "The little witch lost the game in the group final of the Wu Yue Cup preliminaries yesterday..."

"what?!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised:

"After my group qualified, I thought they should be fine, so I didn't pay much attention to them... But what's wrong with this kid Man Jing?"

"Not sure..." Shang Chaotian said honestly, "But now it seems... we should consider using a wild card to bring Yang Manjing in first!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, Wu Yueyun's slightly troubled voice came:
"...Indeed, it would be more appropriate to bring Man Jing in, but it is not easy for women's Go to produce a child like Rui Zhao...

"Hey! It would be great if the spots could be transferred, so that if I work hard, I can get both of them in!"

"Mr. Wu! What are you talking about?"

Although he knew it was just a hypothesis, Shang Chaotian still immediately tried to dissuade him.

"You can continue to be active in major competitions, which is a great encouragement to young female chess players. How can you..."

"Alright, alright! Stop saying those polite words!"

Wu Yueyun interrupted directly:

"I know my current level! Rather than offering spiritual encouragement, it would be more practical to bring up a few more high-level female chess players..."

These words were so true that Shang Chaotian didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Wu Yueyun, who was once as good as any man and lived up to his reputation as a 9th dan, has now only reached the level of a men's 4th dan as he has grown older.

It was difficult for the two women to win, even facing a little witch who was only sixteen years old, they were still slightly at a disadvantage.

But because he is still a ninth dan in name and often meets active female players, it will be of great help in their promotion if female players of middle and high dan can play more games with Mr. Wu and win.

At the very least, Zou Yang and Liu Yuhong both admitted that if it weren't for Mr. Wu, it would have been very difficult for them to be promoted to the eighth dan - after all, among the active eighth and ninth dan male chess players, except for the extremely rare foreigner Mr. Jin, none of them would be easy to beat!
However, Wu Yueyun didn't care about Shang Chaotian's silence at all and continued:

"I'm sixty years old after all. Although I will definitely continue to play until I can't play anymore, I don't know how many years I have left... maybe not much longer.

"Before that, I still hope that more girls can come to the fore.

"Chaotian... maybe we can use both wild cards for this competition ourselves? At worst, we can give both to outsiders next year!"

Shang Chaotian could only remain silent at this time and dared not respond.

Seeing this, Wu Yueyun also realized that he had crossed the line, and hurriedly added:
“…Ah, this is just a suggestion…a suggestion.

"I am old, and I tend to talk a lot. Please forgive me, Chaotian."

"No, no! Your suggestion is very good, but this matter still needs to be discussed within the chess association."

"It's okay, just pretend I never called you and don't take it too seriously... You should also go to bed early."

After saying that, Mr. Wu hung up the phone, as if he was afraid that if he said one more word it would affect Shang Chaotian's judgment.

Hearing the short hang-up tone on the phone, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but sigh again.

Hey!
I just said don't worry about it...

Now I have to start to feel confused again!

The high-end orders exceeded 500 last night, and I am more confident that I can eat full meals in the future.

As for the plot, a considerable portion of the next few chapters will be devoted to the Chess Saint War (and its foreshadowing), and the length of the protagonist will be reduced accordingly (after all, there is actually nothing much to write in the month before the qualifying tournament). It is estimated that each will account for 50%.

The Chess Saint War is a relatively important plot in the early part of the second volume, and it also has an impact on the main storyline. I hope the big guys can understand it.
