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

[…OMG! Rui Zhao's actions were so manly—even though she's clearly a goddess!]

[A direct confrontation with Deepbrain within 24 hours, threatening to make them pay – who would dare play this game if they had something to hide?!]

[Single-handedly taking down a tech giant! That's the kind of courage and determination the greatest athlete in history has!]

[Forget Bolt, Phelps, Jordan, Messi... all of you step aside! When it comes to the GOAT in competitive sports, I only acknowledge Zhao Tianhou!!!]

Even though she lost all her matches this time, she will always be my Go goddess!

[Heh! Save your breath, you simp upstairs!]

[Her chess moves were so obviously fake, it was practically screaming "I'm cheating" on her face, and yet nobody believed her?]

[How many US dollars does Deepbrain charge for each post? Use your brain!]

[Is an anonymous short essay considered solid evidence? If there were really a problem, they would have filed a formal report long ago!]

[Isn't the fact that there hasn't been any follow-up action for the past two days blatant slander?!]

[And look at your company's statement again—a company with a market capitalization of billions is making sarcastic remarks about a young woman, saying things like "if you can't win, it means you can't prove your innocence"... It's utterly low!]

[Let those pretentious tech guys at DeepBrains abuse their power all day long... now they've really bitten off more than they can chew!]

[Who remembers that Deepbrain didn't dare to fight for almost half a year? Now they're jumping out to play the savior while others are in a position of power? Liu Shixian was right when he said they couldn't accept defeat!]

[The more assertive Rui Zhao is, the more I believe in her innocence—if she really cheated, she would have backed down long ago. Why would she dare to initiate a cross-border lawsuit and directly confront them? Is this the kind of audacity a carbon-based life form could have?!]

Heh, I'm too lazy to argue with you guys!

[You'll all be crying when Rui Zhao is utterly defeated!]

……

she……

That's really amazing!
One hour later, in Beijing, China, at the China Chess Academy.

After reading the discussions on the popular online forum, Li Jingzhe, who was walking towards the chess academy's main conference room, put down his phone, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, feeling a mix of emotions.

Despite the intense online debate, he could clearly sense that the online trolls, who had subsided somewhat recently, were making a comeback, attempting to muddy the waters of public opinion.

But at the same time, an even stronger and more surging wave is forming – the support from countless ordinary chess fans, sports enthusiasts, and even passersby around the world.

They were deeply moved and inspired by Rui Zhao's courage in facing a formidable enemy head-on, and spontaneously stood up to cheer for the eternal Zhaojun and condemn Deepbrain's despicable actions!
This force, gathered into a torrent, has undoubtedly become the dominant voice in the global internet today!

She's really... amazing!

A clear and powerful realization surged within Li Jingzhe's heart!
Faced with Deepbrain, a behemoth formed by the convergence of the most cutting-edge technologies of mankind and regarded as an unshakeable god by countless Go players, Rui Zhao not only showed no fear, but instead chose the most direct and fierce approach—a head-on confrontation!
His words and deeds, his courage and sense of responsibility, are so dazzling that they are hard to look directly at!

So much so that he couldn't help but feel at this moment: if he could devote himself to the eternal Zhaojun, he would not hesitate to die at the feet of the white moonlight in his heart!

However, this surge of emotion lasted only a moment before Li Jingzhe quickly shook his head, temporarily dispelling his overly sentimental thoughts.

Now... is not the time for sentimentality!
He not only needs to quickly assign the task of screening out the real blind spots, but also needs to seize the "Achilles' heel" of artificial intelligence that he had previously discovered by chance.

He calmed his agitated emotions slightly, his gaze regained its focus, and he continued walking towards the conference room at the end of the corridor.

His purpose today was very clear: to explain the crucial screening process to the high-ranking Chinese Go players who had gathered in Dajing.

For China, time is life!
Whether it's to keep putting pressure on Deepbrain in the public opinion arena or to sift out the truly valuable insights for AI from the vast sea of ​​"suspected blind spot" data on a technical level, we need to buy as much time as possible!

Ai Jianan must be in the midst of tough negotiations with Deepbrain right now, trying his best to delay the match date.

But Li Jingzhe and everyone involved knew that there was a limit to delaying!

It's estimated that a month is the limit—Deepbrain naturally wants to defeat Rui Zhao on the chessboard as soon as possible and launch a media counterattack. If the time drags on too long, it will give the opponent an excuse to attack Rui Zhao for actually being cowardly.

The technical challenges are equally severe. Lei Qi had previously told him that the current thousands of "suspected blind spots" each represent a complex situation where even AI might make mistakes.

These layout changes are extremely complex and profound; otherwise, even a powerful AI wouldn't be able to confuse them.

Lei Qi estimates that even high-level players, assuming the quality of their analysis is guaranteed, can probably only thoroughly analyze and verify two or three such blind spots a day.

and so……

Every bit of effort can be the key factor in deciding the outcome!

Every day should be cherished! With this thought in mind, Li Jingzhe took a deep breath, straightened his back, and pushed open the heavy door of the conference room.

Inside, the room was filled with top chess players from all over China. They were either talking in hushed tones or deep in thought, and the air was thick with a tense and focused atmosphere.

They are all absolute elites who have stood out from countless peers. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the essence of Chinese Go today, except for Yong Shi Zhaojun!
Li Jingzhe walked in with his head held high. Although he had obvious dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were unusually bright.

His voice rang out clearly and steadily as he swept his gaze over each of the chess players present:

"Hello everyone! I am Li Jingzhe, a postgraduate student at Tsinghua University."

"As you all know, Rui Zhao has now officially decided to engage in a five-game match against DeepBrain!"
"If we need to compete with AI, we will need the great assistance of all the teachers right now, and please allow me to express my gratitude to you all!"

"Although I am only a lowly amateur 5-dan in Go, I have done some research in Go AI. I developed the adversarial software that screens out blind spots."

"Next, I will briefly explain the key points of manual screening. I will be with you all over the next few days, and you can ask me any questions at any time."

"Okay, that concludes my self-introduction."

"Time is of the essence, let's begin now!"

...

...

Hmm... just as I expected...

Not many people are paying attention to this WorldSkills final anymore?

At 12:50 pm on the same day, in the outdoor corridor of the Go competition room at Samsang Training Institute in Gyeongdo, South Korea.

The corridor was brightly lit. As Liu Shixian walked steadily toward the chess room, he habitually scanned both sides of the corridor with his eyes and keenly noticed the atmosphere, which was completely different from the atmosphere before the World Championship finals in the past.

The number of media reporters gathered in the corridor had decreased significantly. Even those reporters present seemed somewhat distracted, with many looking down at their phones or chatting quietly in twos and threes. Their topics did not seem to be focused on the upcoming showdown.

However, Liu Shixian understood this perfectly.

According to the official account of [Weiqi Xiaozhao], the champion of this year's Sanshuang Cup still has the honor of challenging the eternal Zhaojun Rui Zhao with a handicap one last time.

But right now, the world’s attention has undoubtedly shifted completely to the inevitable and highly charged human-machine competition!
This epic battle, a head-to-head clash between the universally acknowledged greatest player in history and Deepbrain, has long surpassed the appeal and buzz surrounding traditional peak matches between human chess players.

Moreover, judging from the past seven years, Lin Ruixin is practically a pushover against Liu Shixian, with virtually no suspense! So there's even less need to give him too much attention.

However, despite the significantly reduced attention he received, Liu Shixian did not relax his efforts in the slightest.

He knew the significance of this final was immense—not only for his sixteenth WorldSkills Championship title, but also for his promise to Lei Qi.

It's obvious that China is providing some support to Rui Zhao! However, because he is from South Korea, they haven't revealed the details to him.

He understood the need for such strategic secrecy—after all, North America's infiltration of South Korea was common knowledge.

However, since I promised Lei Qi, there's no reason not to do it!
He needs to win this final to prevent Lin Ruixin from gaining the right to challenge, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble for Yong Shi Zhaojun who is currently preparing for the competition.

Liu Shixian walked steadily to the door of the chess room, where the heavy solid wood door was slightly ajar.

But just as he was about to push the door open, he discovered that Lin Ruixin had appeared beside him like a ghost!

Liu Shixian was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at the other person. However, the other person's reaction made Liu Shixian feel a little strange.

The former leader of China seemed to completely ignore him, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.

He just stared blankly ahead, his steps not faltering at all, and went straight to reach for the door!
Liu Shixian raised an eyebrow, a rather complex emotion flashing through his mind.

"...Good afternoon, Lin Jiudan."

He looked directly into Lin Ruixin's haggard face, etched with the marks of time, and said:

"See you in the finals last time...it's been eight years!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly audible in the quiet corridor.

Liu Shixian's original intention was simply to make the current strange atmosphere a little more normal, but his words were like a stone thrown into stagnant water, causing Lin Ruixin's originally empty and turbid eyes to move slightly!
He turned his head somewhat stiffly, his gaze finally focusing on Liu Shixian's face, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion and surprise:

"...Hmm? Now..."

"Is it already the finals?" (End of Chapter)
