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

Bai Yinhua's fingers unconsciously slid across the screen as she repeatedly looked at the messages, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

I felt like an outsider, completely unable to understand what these former friends were talking about!
What earth-shattering event has happened?

Old Dai even put his own wedding on hold?!
A strange sense of anxiety spread through Bai Yinhua's heart. He wanted to ask directly in the group chat to find out the truth, but he hesitated when his finger hovered over the top of the screen.

It wouldn't be appropriate for someone like me, who once betrayed the entire professional Go world, to ask questions in the group as if nothing had happened.

However, he didn't need to worry at this moment... didn't he still have his students' "substitute teachers" here?
Thinking of this, Bai Yinhua no longer hesitated, immediately opened WeChat, found Zeng Guangwen's profile picture, and pressed the voice call request—after being eliminated by Liu Shixian in the first round of the Sanshuang Cup, this guy naturally became the commentator for [Go Xiao Zhao], so it was more convenient to contact him via WeChat voice.

The call notification sounded for a long time, but no one answered, which puzzled Bai Yinhua.

The two semi-final matches have just ended, and Zeng Pangzi, who has finished commentating, should have "clocked out" by now. What is he doing?

Just when Bai Yinhua thought the other party was too busy to answer, Xiaotianquan's rather impatient voice came from the other end.

"...Hey Lao Hua? What's up? Speak quickly!"
"I have a million things to do right now, I'm really busy!"

……ah?!
Why does Fatty Zeng look so rushed?!

Bai Yinhua grew increasingly suspicious, so she disregarded pleasantries and cut straight to the point:

"Fatty Zeng, what are you guys talking about in the class group? I don't understand a thing!"

"Even... Old Dai canceled his own wedding?!"

Oh...you mean this!

Zeng Guangwen seemed to ponder for a moment, but ultimately told the truth:
"I'll just tell you something: the diva is planning to go head-to-head with DeepBrain's AI!"

"……What?!
"But DeepBrains' public response was clearly..."

"Don't be surprised! I don't have time to be surprised right now!!"

Although Bai Yinhua's exclamation clearly carried a sense of surprise, Zeng Guangwen immediately interrupted her, obviously unwilling to answer any further questions Bai Yinhua might have.
Anyway, that's how things are... Don't ask why!
"But... if you're not blind, you should know that even a superstar like her probably has no chance of winning against AI head-on!"
"However, there might be a way to help the Queen create a solution targeting AI, but in the next month, we need a lot of high-level Go players to help with screening and verification, hence the situation in the group!"

So...that's how it is!

No wonder there was such a commotion!

Although she was still shocked to hear that Rui Zhao had decided to confront the AI ​​head-on, Bai Yinhua finally understood the real reason why everyone in the group had acted collectively.

But considering that both Geng and Gu had been summoned to ride horses, Bai Yinhua couldn't help but ask:
"But judging from this, they actually want to hire Lao Geng, who voluntarily retired last year, and Lao Gu, who has been taking care of his child at home for three years?!"
"Are they really that short-staffed?!"

"Yes, of course we're short!"

Zeng Guangwen's voice was resolute:

"According to Boss Ai, the workload is enormous! The more people, the better!"

"This is not a competition, so the computational requirements are not too high. What is needed is a good enough analytical and judgment ability, so veteran players who have played against each other in the AI ​​era can do it."

"I heard that even Old Lei, the 9-dan player, has been drafted..."

Even Old Lei, a 9-dan player...

Hearing this, Bai Yinhua felt a mix of emotions and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The sudden "exposure storm" that broke out in Japan and South Korea in the past two days, and Deepbrain's timely and pointed response full of traps, are clearly a premeditated siege against Yong Shi Zhaojun!
In Bai Yinhua's view, the safest course of action in the face of such a perilous situation is to lay low for a while and wait for the right opportunity to launch a counterattack.

However, Rui Zhao, the goddess of the chess world, has made a completely different choice and resolutely opted to face the challenge head-on!
They were even willing to risk their entire reputation in pursuit of that slim chance of victory!

This courage, this sense of responsibility, this unwavering determination... it really suits her style!
After a moment of reflection, Bai Yinhua couldn't help but recall the scene of their private meeting five years ago.

Back then, Rui Zhao was still a bit green, but when faced with his question about the future of professional Go, his clear eyes shone with an undeniable and firm light!
And everything she has done over the past five years has proven this unwavering commitment!

From an innocent young girl to the eternal Zhaojun... she remained consistent and unchanged!
Just as Bai Yinhua was immersed in these feelings, Zeng Guangwen on the other end of the phone seemed to suddenly remember something and suggested again:
"Ah! Speaking of which... Lao Hua, if you have some free time recently, how about we bring Xiao Hui back to help take care of her for a month?"

"Ok?"

Startled from her thoughts, Bai Yinhua instinctively uttered a question, while Zeng Guangwen calmly offered his advice:
"After all, the main players of the Xidu team have all been called up, so it's better for you to be the sparring partner than to have that old coach Ren Qiang..."

"Then can I?"

Before Zeng Guangwen could finish speaking, Bai Yinhua interrupted him, saying:

"Huh? What's wrong with that?!"

Zeng Guangwen was visibly taken aback for a moment, then replied matter-of-factly, "Xiao Hui is still at a low level now, but you almost reached the eighth dan back then, so your foundation is there..."

"This isn't Xiaohui's fault!"

Bai Yinhua interrupted her classmate once again:
I mean...

"The matter of helping Rui Zhao."

"...

"……What?!"

...

...

"……What?!
"You're saying Deepbrain stepped in to fight at this point, and even subtly implied that Rui Zhao was cheating if she couldn't win?!"

"As a result, Rui Zhao not only didn't back down at all, but also decided to fight head-on?!"
"And now they're even gathering top-level Go players from all over the country to come to Dajing to help Rui Zhao find a weapon to counter the AI?!"
"In fact, the vast majority of people have already decided to come?!"

Meanwhile, in the Go players' rest area of ​​the Samsung Training Institute in Gyeongdo, South Korea.

After listening to Liu Yuhong's account, Sun Yi, who had just finished the semi-final, stared wide-eyed, his fatigue instantly replaced by shock and disbelief.

This amount of information...

Isn't it way too big?!

Sun Wukong's mouth remained open for a long time.

Just before the competition, I secretly resolved not to let Lin Ruixin cause trouble for my junior; and now, I need to start a full-scale mobilization?!
Why is this version updating so fast?!
"...Eh eh eh!"

"I know you're a bit confused right now, Monkey, but don't be confused yet!"

Seeing her husband's completely bewildered expression, Liu Yuhong, while understanding, couldn't help but urge him on:

"We need to hurry and get to Dajing!"

"...Huh?! Da Jing?!" Sun Wukong was clearly still not overwhelmed.

"Yes! Little Sheep has already decided to go. She just sent us a WeChat message asking when we'll arrive!"

Liu Yuhong continued to explain:

"Putting everything else aside, almost all the top-level Go players in the country have come this time, totaling several dozen people!"

"Even people who don't have much of a relationship with Rui Zhao are here, and even Little Sheep said she's not planning for pregnancy for the time being. As her senior, you have no reason to be absent!"

"Uh...that's true..."

Sun Yi nodded slightly, but then immediately thought of something:
"But we said we'd go for a pre-pregnancy checkup after this Sanshuang Cup..."

"We'll talk about it later!"

The little bird spoke very sassily:
"Although today's semi-final was a bit of a disappointment, it might be that God wanted us to help Rui Zhao together, so don't be upset!"

"Let's hurry up and look at plane tickets to go back home!"

At this point, Sun Yi was finally brought back to reality by Liu Yuhong's series of words and actions.

He shook his head violently, then took a good look at the current situation.

The match is over, and the result cannot be changed.

But ahead... something even more important awaited him.

Without further hesitation, he immediately took out his phone and started rapidly typing on the screen to check the earliest flight back to China the next day.

Indeed, Sun Yi can now look at plane tickets...

Because in the semi-final that just ended this afternoon, he suffered a devastating defeat despite AI having a winning percentage of over 90%, ending his run in the Sanshuang Cup semi-finals and watching as China's former leader was eliminated after six and a half years...

They've advanced to the WorldSkills Finals again. (End of Chapter)
