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

"...Ah, we can see..."

"Chu Jun, 9-dan, has already resigned!"

At 3:30 p.m. on the same day, in the temporary live broadcast room of [Weiqi Xiaozhao] at Dongjiang Hotel.

At this point, the game had progressed to move 114. As Chu Jun gently placed two black stones on the board in the live broadcast, Hua Ran calmly announced the result to the audience.

There's no way around it; their own streamer's victory is just that simple, straightforward, and easy.

She then turned her head to look at the guest seats next to her:
"...Next, I'll trouble Brother Zeng to help me summarize the game."

"Hmm... Just like the previous match..."

"Little Chu was easily crushed! She truly lives up to her title as the Queen of Pop!"

Zeng Guangwen first let out a meaningful sigh, a knowing smile playing on his lips, before beginning his detailed analysis:

"Actually, Xiao Chu played quite well in the first half of the game, clearly drawing on the experience of the previous challengers."

"Avoid close combat in the early stages and directly engage in encirclement! At the same time, use Black's first-move advantage to suppress the opponent's shape."

"When faced with the Empress's invasion, he did not confront her head-on, but adopted a strategy of slow attack, prioritizing the preservation of his own strength and preventing the Empress, the god of war of the world, from fully exerting her power."

"This combination of tactics has indeed achieved good results."

"By move 68, Xiao Chu still had a 70% win rate. He's one of the challengers who has maintained a pretty good record recently!"

"However... the good times didn't last long."

"In terms of value judgment, the gap between Xiao Chu and the Empress is still too large!"

At this point, Comrade Greyhound shook his head, his tone implying, "You're still too green."

"...On move 69, Xiao Chu chose a seemingly tempting flying seal, forcing White to live—this seemed like a great move, but it received a bad review from the AI."

"Although the white stones below no longer had a chance to make a comeback, the queen quickly seized the key point of the AI's first choice of the second line small knight's move, which not only gained a considerable number of points but also allowed her isolated group of stones to be completely stabilized and no longer subject to black's attacks."

"On the contrary, the large central territory that Chu Jun had placed high hopes on was subsequently invaded by White in move 80, leading to close combat, and Black was quickly outmaneuvered by the Queen in the local area! By move 90, Black had already connected with the dragon."

"After that, the Queen sacrificed a piece, and by move 104, she had solidified the entire left half of the board!"
"In the end, Xiao Chu persisted for a few more moves, but knowing that there was no point in continuing, he resigned decisively."

"The queen of the game didn't seem to be under much pressure in this match. It can only be said that even the queen of the game who was given a handicap in the challenger match was able to win with her own wisdom!"

"I truly believe that at this point, even AI would have to personally demonstrate its capabilities in front of the Queen!"

In fact, as the two closest "insiders" to Rui Zhao besides Ai Jian'an, Hua and Zeng, along with their dog, naturally knew that although their queen was considered a god among human chess players, this level was probably still quite far from being able to defeat AI—otherwise, that radical young lady would probably have already allowed some commercial AI companies from China, Japan, and South Korea to challenge her.

However, Ai Jianan had said earlier that Rui Zhao's ultimate goal was not to actually defeat AI, but simply to fully demonstrate the value of human Go.

The reason for insisting on a formal human-machine competition against DeepBrain, rather than just playing a few games with an AI from another company, is to truly prove the value of human Go in front of the North American tech giant, leaving all opponents speechless—something that other AI companies in East Asia cannot do.

"...Yes, yes! I also think Brother Zeng is right!"

Hua Ran immediately nodded in agreement, her face showing a look of deep conviction:
"Including Liu Shixian 9-dan, Lei Qi 9-dan, Li Jiang, and Jing Jing, who have previously played against Sister Rui Zhao, they have all expressed similar views!"

"Judging from the live stream, Chu Jun, a 9-dan player, clearly admires Rui Zhao's performance today!"

Hua Ran's gaze swept across the live feed on the screen as Chu Jun, who had just walked out of the game room, described his expression to the audience:
"I bet he'll say something similar in the post-match interview...wait, what?!"

Just then, Hua Ran's voice stopped abruptly, and a short, surprised question escaped her lips!

"Hmm? What's wrong, Ranran?"

Zeng Guangwen was taken aback by Hua Ran's sudden pause and surprised exclamation, while Hua Ran pointed to the media interview area on the screen:
"Why is Jingjing also waiting in the interview area?!"

"Is she going to do an interview with Chu Jun?!"

...

...

"Uh, Manjing..."

Why weren't you waiting for your boyfriend in the rest area today?!

Ten minutes later, at the Dongjiang Hotel, in the media interview area.

Seeing the little witch quietly standing near the entrance of the interview area, her eyes occasionally drifting towards the chess room, with a hint of nervousness and sweetness on her face, Nian Lili was a little curious and couldn't help but go up and ask her a question.

As is customary, athletes usually rest and recover briefly in the rest area before giving interviews. Yang Manjing's presence at the interview area entrance was somewhat unusual.

Yang Manjing turned her head at the sound of the voice and saw the familiar reporter Nian Lili. A shy smile appeared on her face.

"Something's happened! I'll wait for him here!"

"This, this is it..."

Nian Lili responded with an understanding smile, but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

...“Something’s going on”?
What's happening here? !

She was a little puzzled for a moment. However, considering that this golden couple of Chinese chess was always so dazzlingly affectionate, as a professional reporter, she didn't want to pry into their private life. Just as she was about to change the subject, she happened to see the door to the chess room open—Chu Jun had finished reviewing his game with Rui Zhao and was walking towards the interview area.

Upon seeing this, Nian Lili immediately perked up and waited for Chu Jun to settle into his position.

"Chu Jun, 9-dan, you've just finished a great challenge match, thank you for your hard work!"

Nian Lili's clear and pleasant voice began the interview:

"First of all, can you talk about your feelings about today's game?"
"Facing an opponent like Rui Zhao 9-dan must be incredibly stressful, right?"

"There wasn't much pressure—because I basically knew the result before I even went on stage!"

Xiao Chu, a ninth-dan player, laughed self-deprecatingly:
"As for how I feel... I'm completely convinced."

"No wonder the previous challengers didn't show any temper."

"That's it..."

Seeing that Chu Jun's face showed not only no dejection after his crushing defeat, but rather a hint of joy, Nian Lili quickly composed herself and immediately posed her second question:
"Although you still haven't been able to secure a victory, it seems... Chu Jun 9-dan, you're in a pretty good mood right now?"

"Is it because... facing the greatest legend in the history of Go, it's not bad to play like this?"

Chu Jun did not answer immediately upon hearing this, but his gaze unconsciously turned to Yang Manjing, who was standing at the entrance of the interview area.

Yang Manjing was also looking at him. The moment their eyes met, a bright and slightly shy smile immediately bloomed on Yang Manjing's face.

"Indeed... there is that element."

Chu Jun withdrew his gaze and looked back at Nian Lili, his voice carrying a hint of gentleness:

"But the main reason is..."

"Today is also a very special day for me!"

"Oh?"

Sensing a news story, Nian Lili's eyes lit up, and she immediately pressed for details:

"What special day is it? Could you share it with us?"

Chu Jun did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to his girlfriend standing to the side.

Upon receiving the signal, the little witch blushed even more deeply and immediately walked quickly to Chu Jun's side like a little bird, naturally taking his arm.

Chu Jun turned his head to look at Yang Manjing nestled beside him, his smile growing increasingly awkward and silly, and announced in a clear and forceful voice:

"Today... I'm going to get my marriage certificate with my girlfriend, Yang Manjing, a 9-dan player!"

"...Eh?!"
"Get a marriage certificate?!?"

Nian Lili's eyes widened instantly! Her mouth opened slightly, and she uttered a short, surprised question:

"A marriage certificate?"

"Of course!"
"You don't need to go to get other certificates at the same time!"

Chu Jun nodded, a little embarrassed.

Even after confirming it once, Nian Lili's eyes were still filled with unconcealed shock!

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Yang Manjing—that petite figure, that slightly chubby face, that appearance and physique that barely made her out to be a high school student!

This……

This person looks completely like a minor!
Chu Jun, this really isn't a crime, is it?!

In an instant, a strong urge to call the police surged into Nian Lili's heart! However, just as this impulse was about to burst out, Nian Lili suddenly jolted awake!

...Wait, no, no!

The little witch, this "legal loli," just looks too young. She was actually born in 07 and is already twenty years old this year, which is indeed the legal marriage age!
However, for modern urban women, getting married in their early twenties...

hiss--

Isn't this way too early?!

Nian Lili composed herself and tried to regain her professional expression, but her eyes were still filled with disbelief.

"W-So fast?"

The young reporter's gaze darted back and forth between Chu and Yang, but finally he couldn't help but ask the witch:
“Manjing, you…”

"Don't you think it's a bit early?"

"……No!"

The little witch shook her head without hesitation:

"I feel that Xiao Yan... Ah, Chu Jun is quite good!" (End of Chapter)
