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

???

Lei Qiren was completely dumbfounded.

Didn't we already shift her focus to chess before the match?!

How do I still remember this now?!

No, no!

"No, really not!"

Xiao Lei, a 9-dan player, denied it almost reflexively, and even stuttered a little due to being too nervous.

He felt his cheeks burning, his ears turning red, and even his breathing became difficult! Not only did he not dare to look the other person in the eye, but he even tried to break free from Rui Zhao's hand and escape the scene of the accident as quickly as possible.

However, Rui Zhao not only did not let go, but instead slightly puffed out the corners of her mouth, her tone carrying an undeniable insistence:
"Lei Qi, I really hate it when people keep things from me!"

She paused, then presented a highly damaging "lesson from the past":
"I was really angry with Senior Brother Ni for a long time when he tricked me into getting the 'Celebrity' title..."

"Are you trying to make me unhappy now?!"

These words struck Lei Qi like a heavy hammer, causing the young Lei Qi, a ninth-dan martial artist, to respond immediately without the slightest hesitation:
"I……

"Of course I want you to always be happy..."

"...Then tell me!"

She subconsciously shook Lei Qi's hand slightly, her voice soft and gentle:
"I'm afraid you'll act on your own and do something that will catch me off guard!"

These words, tinged with a hint of pleading, came from the mouth of this young, outstanding, and innocent Go goddess, and they carried a subtle allure that she herself was unaware of, making it sound like she was being coquettish—which made the already flustered Lei Qi even more at a loss!

"Uh……"

Lei Qi struggled to organize his thoughts, feeling as if his brain was about to shut down:

"...This matter...actually doesn't have much impact..."

"You don't need to know! Really!"

He tried to make his tone sound sincere and relaxed, but Rui Zhao's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, and she continued to press him as if she had seized some leverage:
"look!
"I knew Lei Qi, you were hiding something from me!"

"..."

……no?!

Why am I being tricked into revealing information by this idiot?!

Suddenly realizing that he was even less capable than a simpleton, Xiao Lei, a ninth-dan player, felt a momentary hysteria, but the problem was already laid bare before him, and there was no way to avoid it.

Despite being reminded by Liu Shixian that the Go Queen was maturing day by day after their conversation at the Spring Orchid Cup, Lei Qi was already mentally prepared that "the secret will eventually be discovered."

But right now, he knows better than anyone else that at this very moment, Rui Zhao's entire focus is on the crucial matter of challenging AI and pushing Go into the Olympics—a matter of great importance to the future of Go!
Anything that might distract her or disturb her peace of mind must be excluded!

and so……

Now is definitely not the time to confess that secret in my heart to her!
Thinking of this, Lei Qi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He met Rui Zhao's beautiful yet stubborn eyes, and the panic on his face gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and seriousness.

"...If I had to say, there are indeed things I've been hiding from you."

The captain of the Beijing team initially admitted it frankly, but then he emphasized his words and clearly drew a line:

"But this matter is rather troublesome... and it has nothing to do with the current issue of Go being included in the Olympics."

"I promise you, I'll wait until you've finished challenging AI, or until Go is officially included in the Olympics!"
"I'll explain everything to you after everything has settled down... okay?"

Upon hearing this, Rui Zhao frowned slightly—clearly, she was not entirely satisfied with this somewhat perfunctory answer, which also came with preconditions.

Perhaps it was the undeniable seriousness and sincerity in Lei Qi's eyes that moved her, or perhaps she herself knew that the most important thing right now was for Go to be included in the Olympics...

In the end, Rui Zhao nodded slightly, released her grip on Lei Qi's wrist, and her voice returned to its usual clear and crisp tone:

"Then...it's a deal!"
"You can't make up excuses for me then!"

"A word is settled!"

Lei Qi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied, his voice filled with obvious ease and a barely perceptible hint of gratitude.

However, he dared not linger any longer, fearing that Rui Zhao might think of some even more tricky questions.

After a hasty and brief farewell to his sweetheart, Xiao Lei, a 9-dan player, turned around and left the Go room almost as if fleeing, his back view showing a hint of haste.

However... Xiao Lei's embarrassing moment today is not over yet...

Just as he reached the storage area next to the chess room to retrieve his stored phone to watch the AI's replay, almost instantly, several WeChat messages from [Liyuan Jingzhe] popped up like death knells! They filled the entire lock screen! They were sent just minutes earlier! That is, right after he left the chess room!
Lei Qi's gaze unconsciously swept over the previews of the top two messages...

【Lei Qi! What are you doing?!】

【Rui Zhao is such a naive and clueless girl, how could you trick her into holding your hand?!】

"...

"……Eh?!"

...

...

No! Don't misunderstand!!!

I really didn't do anything. If you watched the live stream, you'd know I was planning to leave immediately!

She was the one who stopped me and asked me about something!

[If you don't believe me... you can ask Rui Zhao directly!]

"...Ask Rui Zhao?!"
"Can I ask now?!"

Meanwhile, in Dongjiang City, Huaxia, in Li Jingzhe's study.

After reading Lei Qi's reply on the PC version of WeChat, Li Jingzhe, who had just been watching the match, almost gritted his teeth and whispered the words, clearly not believing a word of it!
Rui Zhao had long since gone into seclusion, cutting off almost all contact with the outside world. Even Li Jingzhe had to go through Ai Jian'an to contact her now.

Lei Qi's words were nothing but a pretext and sophistry!
He's just a nobody in the chess world, what right does he have to be the one to hold hands with the universally acknowledged national goddess?!

...I've never even held hands with one before!!!
—Yes, that's right.

Li Jingzhe, who had been a devoted admirer for three years in high school, had never even held hands with his partner, let alone confirmed a relationship.

On the other hand, how did that damned Lei manage to surpass everyone else?!
Li Jingzhe grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his fingers pounded the keyboard so hard they almost shattered it!
"Then tell me, what did Rui Zhao ask you? Tell me quickly!"

However... after this WeChat message was sent, it seemed to sink without a trace, and there were no replies.

In Li Jingzhe's view, this unusual silence was irrefutable proof of his guilty conscience! This guy must have used some underhanded means to deceive the naive Go goddess!

Li Jingzhe clenched his fist, his eyes becoming increasingly sharp—the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed!
Rui Zhao is simple-minded and single-minded, with little understanding of human relationships and social customs.

It's entirely possible to be deceived by someone as cunning as Lei Qi!
really……

Rui Zhao needs me by her side to help her protect herself from these bad people!
Qinghua Zheshen felt that the responsibility on his shoulders had never been so heavy!
Little did they know that in that battle outside the chessboard in the game room, the world's number one player had almost completely wiped out the four-time champion from China...

Just as he was about to send another message, or even consider calling to press for an answer... he discovered that Lei Qi had finally replied!

Ah, Rui Zhao asked me to pass on a message to you.

She said that with your newly developed AI, the recent attack and kill rates have indeed improved significantly.

……Eh?

Li Jingzhe was stunned after reading it.

She said her attack and kill rate had improved further... and I deserve some credit for that?!
Li Jingzhe's anger and jealousy vanished in an instant, replaced by a heartfelt joy at being highly recognized by his white moonlight!

In fact, anyone with a normal IQ would notice many doubts about this statement, based on the live stream footage... After all, why would such a statement be so obviously contradictory as it appears on the live stream?

But sometimes people just can't help but lose their minds—even philosophers with extremely high IQs are no exception.

Overwhelmed by immense joy, he selectively ignored all doubts!

The only thing echoing in his mind was the repeated sound of "Rui Zhao praised me," and the resulting ecstasy completely overwhelmed Li Jingzhe!

Overjoyed, an even bolder and more exciting idea naturally came to Li Jingzhe's mind!

After winning against Liu Shixian and Lei Qi in quick succession while having the first move, Rui Zhao's strength is probably approaching the limits of human capability!

If we can utilize national-level supercomputing resources to find potential blind spots in the AI ​​strategy and forge a deadly weapon, perhaps she really could defeat AI!

This idea made Li Jingzhe even more excited!

Of course, the approach of using adversarial attacks to find blind spots in AI deployment is not going smoothly at present.

Gou Shuci previously stated that utilizing national-level supercomputing resources is extremely difficult. The application report submitted by the State Administration to higher authorities has remained unanswered to this day.

However, Li Jingzhe certainly wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die!
Although he has only found two more suspected blind spots in AI deployment through the full operation of top-tier commercial computing clusters in the past month, he has recently discovered another interesting aspect of AI that seems to offer a new path!
Thinking of this, Qinghua Zhe Shen naturally stopped dwelling on the little incident that had just ended the challenge. He sat up abruptly and continued analyzing the weaknesses of existing AIs on the market based on past adversarial attack data. He was completely unaware…

Rui Zhao, arguably the greatest player in history, went on to rout two of the world's top three players while giving them a handicap...

The shock and impact this fact will have on the entire game of Go, and even on the entire world of Earth… (End of Chapter)
