"...this...this..."

"What is Xiao Lei doing?!"

"Why did they suddenly start using such deadly force?!"

Half an hour later, in a room at the Oriental Wenxia Hotel.

After both sides settled their positions in the upper right corner, they played more than ten moves. Now, with the game at move 45, White only had a 6.9% chance of winning, and Shang Chaotian was a little nervous!

"Didn't he mean that he promised me he would do his best to help Rui Zhao achieve the feat of 'not losing when he gets the first move'?"
"How come it looks like Rui Zhao is about to be the one getting played in the chain?"

"……Um?"

Lu Wenjie, who was also watching from the sidelines, was clearly not following his chairman's train of thought. He turned his head to look at Shang Chaotian, his eyes filled with confusion:

"Brother Tian, ​​what kind of guarantee are you making?"

"...Oh! Is that so!"

Shang Chaotian took a deep breath, trying to calm his overly excited emotions:

"When Rui Zhao announced the start of this challenge, I had a special talk with him, and Lei Qi was also there with me."

"I was initially quite skeptical about whether Rui Zhao could achieve 'not losing when giving the first move', and I hope Rui Zhao can reconsider."

"As it turned out, Xiao Lei not only spoke up for Rui Zhao, but also gave me a reassuring look."

"At the time, I thought he meant that he would try to eliminate all the other challengers and then deliberately lose to Rui Zhao..."

"But looking at things today... something doesn't seem right?!"

After hearing Shang Chaotian's explanation, Lu Wenjie's face first showed a hint of surprise, then he seemed to understand something, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips:

"It's...it's normal for it to fall, right?"
"The girl he likes has already let him have her first... If he doesn't behave well, it will be too hurtful to his pride!"

"Even if I have to give way later, I still need to show myself properly first..."

"...Wait a minute?! What did you say?!"

Before Lu Wenjie could finish speaking, Shang Chaotian, who had been somewhat anxious, seemed to have suddenly heard something incredible, and his voice rose again in extreme shock:
“Lei Qi, he…”

"You like Rui Zhao???"

"Yes... um?"

Lu Wenjie was taken aback by Shang Chaotian's overly intense reaction, and a look of surprise, as if saying, "You didn't know?" immediately appeared on his face.

"Brother Tian, ​​you... can't you tell? It's pretty obvious, isn't it?!"
"Even if you didn't know it yourself... didn't Brother Lei give you any hints?"

"No?! How is that possible?!"

Shang Chaotian, who had never received any hints from Lei Jingming, repeatedly denied it:
"Didn't he throw a tantrum at me and his dad back then because of Rui Zhao?!"

"After all that fuss... he turns around and tells me he likes Rui Zhao?!"

"Brother Tian! That happened so long ago!!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head with a helpless expression that said, "You still don't understand young people at all."

"Children mature too—don't you understand that, Brother Tian?"

"Besides! If you still have a prejudice against Rui Zhao, why did you speak up for her the moment she proposed holding a challenger tournament?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shang Chaotian was speechless and stood there dumbfounded.

He stood there, eyes wide open, his expression frozen.

It's like a high-speed computer suddenly crashing... or like a brain suddenly growing out of a previously empty brain cavity!
Seeing Shang Chaotian's completely bewildered expression, Lu Wenjie raised his eyebrows and deliberately dragged out his words:
"Hmm... You can't even see something of this level..."

"It seems that you were just recklessly pursuing your sister-in-law back then, Brother Tian!"

"That's true, a normal person wouldn't do something like that unless they were reckless..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Shang Chaotian, who had been lost in thought, blushed slightly and quickly called for a halt:
"Let's watch the game first! Let's watch the game!"

"well--"

Seeing Shang Chaotian's eagerness to change the subject, Lu Wenjie tried hard not to laugh out loud.

After drawing out the tone and responding, the vice chairman of the chess association turned his gaze back to the screen, frowning slightly as he said:

"Hmm... Look at how Rui Zhao is doing this..."

"She's trying to surround us!"

In the brief pause of their conversation, the two quickly made seven or eight moves in the game.

The game board on the screen showed that Rui Zhao's white stones first solidified their shape on the left side, and then on move 54, she chose to jump in the center, clearly intending to create territory on the upper side. "...But..."

"Looking at it now, White's encirclement is clearly smaller than Black's!"

As Lu Wenjie spoke, he gestured with his finger to the already quite large black chess piece at the top and bottom of the screen.

And just as he suspected—Lei Qi showed no mercy in the face of Rui Zhao’s attempt to encircle the sky!

He first exchanged moves in the upper right corner to solidify his position. Then, Black's 57th move was a large jump in the center! Clearly, he intended to completely enclose the huge territory below!

Despite the other party's intentions, Yong Shi Zhaojun remained calm and unhurried.

Instead of rushing in, she leisurely shaped the tip at the lower left.

After Black extended and expanded in a straight line, the shape of Black's lower part of the stone clearly showed signs of becoming a solid territory!

White's points are visibly running out!

...

...

"...Huh?! Why isn't Sister Rui Zhao infiltrating? Why is she guarding the corner here?!"

"Isn't this helping Black to secure territory?!"

Meanwhile, inside the temporary live-streaming room of [Weiqi Xiaozhao] at the Oriental Hotel in Singapore.

Upon seeing Hua Ran's image in the lower left corner, she subconsciously frowned, her gaze fixed on the screen, her face filled with disbelief and confusion.

The move that Black just made at the lower right star point was like the finishing touch, almost instantly turning the previously somewhat loose Black formation into solid territory.

Considering the continued lack of improvement in the AI's winning percentage, White is clearly in a very dangerous situation in this game. A slight misstep could result in a complete crushing defeat by the newly crowned South China Sea Cup champion!

Therefore, she found it increasingly difficult to understand why Rui Zhao did not seize the time to invade the black territory, but instead chose to defend the corner at the bottom left corner—even though this was the AI's first choice!
"...Now the entire black territory in the lower right corner is almost solidified!"
"If Sister Rui Zhao tries to infiltrate again after this, it will likely be a matter of life and death! The risk is extremely high!"

The live stream assistant for 【Go Xiao Zhao】 spoke rapidly, offering his analysis:
"Moreover, including the right and upper left corners that were already surrounded... Black's total score is approaching one hundred!"

"Under the handicap rule, Black doesn't need to give komi! White's territory is clearly insufficient..."

"...Hey, Ranran!"

"So this is because you don't trust the Queen!"

Just then, a calm and collected voice rang out, interrupting Hua Ran's slightly anxious analysis—it was Comrade Xi Gou who spoke.

Sitting in the guest section, the dog under the diva's seat showed no worry whatsoever; instead, it wore a calm smile that said, "Everything is under control."

He cleared his throat lightly, leaned forward slightly towards the microphone, and glanced at Hua Ran with the confidence of a senior guiding a junior:

"...As the saying goes, 'The peak breeds false supporters, and twilight witnesses true believers'!"
"Only true loyal dogs of the diva will unconditionally believe in her!"

"...Ah, of course! I'm not saying that the diva has fallen from her peak, I'm just saying that the AI ​​doesn't think highly of her right now...and look!"

"Even AI, doesn't it still feel like it's not too late to break in now?!"

At this point, Zeng Guangwen shook his mouse, hovering it over one of the three lanes below, which was clearly the AI's most recommended next move in this situation.

However, looking at Zeng Guangwen's "steady as a rock" demeanor, Hua Ran couldn't put her mind at ease!
"...But Brother Zeng!"

"You can't say that just because AI is recommending users, the app will be downloaded!"

The anchor's assistant immediately expressed concern about the dog's judgment:
"AI's ability to penetrate is based on extremely precise calculations and a very strong sense of the game!"

"Sister Rui Zhao might not be able to pinpoint this exact point precisely, nor handle the subsequent actions flawlessly..."

"...That's why I said Ranran, your loyalty isn't absolute!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Guangwen's confident smile remained unwavering, and his gaze towards Hua Ran was filled with a profound sense of "you know nothing about power."

"If AI can do it, why can't a pop diva?!"

"It seems you have a real grasp on the terrifying power of the Empress..."

"A lack of the most intuitive understanding!"

And just as Zeng Guangwen's resounding declaration was about to fade away!

In the live stream, the world's number one player, Lei Qi, showed almost no hesitation when he saw him use his Star Position Disassembly technique!
With her slender fingers, she picked up a white piece and, with an unwavering resolve, slammed it down onto the bottom of the chessboard!

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound of a piece being placed was clearly heard through the speaker.

The white piece landed with pinpoint accuracy on the bottom three lines...

The AI ​​made the perfect choice!!! (End of Chapter)
