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

"Well……

"There are so many people outside today..."

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was April 16th.

At 12:40 PM, Dongjiang Hotel, Dongjiang City, Huaxia.

Mo Wei, who was in Lin Ruixin's room, glanced at the situation outside the window and couldn't help but sigh softly. At the same time, she looked up at Lin Ruixin, who was putting on a suit beside her.

"As you requested, I have already reignited the enthusiasm for this challenge!"
"Now it's clear that not only is there a huge amount of online discussion and attention, but there are also plenty of reporters and chess fans offline!"

"Thanks, Brother Mo."

Lin Ruixin's voice came through, sounding quite relaxed, as if the commotion downstairs was just background noise that he had expected.

As Mo Wei said, thanks to his meticulous planning and Lin Ruixin's highly controversial "battle for recognition" remarks, the final battle of the "Eternal Glory" special challenge, which had seen a significant drop in attention after the announcement of the Deepbrain human-machine competition, has garnered unprecedented and far-than-expected global attention!

Numerous media outlets flocked to the scene, and the online discussion reached a fever pitch!
Everyone is waiting for the ultimate showdown in the battle for the title of "China's Number One Player" bestowed by Lin Ruixin! Let's see if Yong Shi Zhaojun's overwhelming strength, as she faces the challenge of the newly crowned triple champion and the eight-time champion, is truly justified!
However, to achieve this, they both paid a price...

Mo Wei hesitated for a moment, looking at Lin Ruixin's relaxed and confident profile, but finally couldn't help but ask:

"...But Ruixin, do you know that doing this will completely ruin your reputation!"

"After you won the Sanshuang Cup, public opinion in China changed a lot about you. People admired your resilience and comeback."

"If you take this opportunity to apologize to Rui Zhao and make up, I am very confident that I can help you get your business running smoothly again!"
"But now you, as a Chinese, are openly challenging Rui Zhao, a national princess, and even questioning her character! Your reputation is basically heading towards that of a traitor! This..."

"...Hey Mo, why are you worrying about this!"
Lin Ruixin paused slightly as she adjusted her cuffs, her gaze calmly meeting Mo Wei's worried and puzzled eyes.

"Rui Zhao never cares about outside opinions!"

"My chess skills certainly don't reach her level, but at least this much shouldn't be too difficult for me..."

"This is not just a matter of evaluation!"

Mo Wei couldn't help but interrupt:

You must have lost a lot of money too!
"Endorsements, events, sponsorships... all of these will be affected!"

"But she always felt that as long as she had enough money to spend, that was enough!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruixin's smile seemed to deepen slightly, carrying a hint of his usual characteristic arrogance:

"Brother Mo, thanks to you, I've been financially independent for a long time!"
"Now... I can be a little more willful!"

"..."

Mo Wei was speechless for a moment—that was absolutely true!
"...but..."

At this moment, Lin Ruixin had already straightened his suit and made a final adjustment to his tie.

He turned around to face Mo Wei, a slightly apologetic smile on his face:

"This might prevent you from making money off me, Brother Mo!"
Sorry! You can ask me to make it up to you later!

"Give me a break!"

"I don't want to be known as someone whose intellectual level is even lower than Lin Dazui's!"

Mo Wei rolled his eyes at his old partner, then couldn't help but laugh and spit out a remark:
"Alright, it's almost time!"

"Play this game well! Show Empress Zhao your current skill level!"

"of course!"

Lin Ruixin said, half with determination and half with a hint of sarcasm:

"If I beat her... then my title as the eight-time champion and 'the greatest in Chinese history' will be truly deserved! How could I not work hard!"

"Alright, let's go!"

At this point, Lin Da, the internet celebrity, said no more, waved his hand, turned around, and left the room to walk towards the chess room.

Lin Ruixin walked alone down the familiar corridor of the Dongjiang Hotel. His leather shoes made a dull, rhythmic sound on the carpet.

The afternoon sun streamed through the huge glass curtain wall, illuminating the corridor, and a strange sense of familiarity slowly washed over him.

As a former leader of the Chinese team and a key player in the Nongshim Cup, Lin Ruixin has visited this venue, the permanent location for the third stage of the Nongshim Cup, quite a few times.

Every corner, every window, even the faint scent of sandalwood in the air, was once a familiar backdrop to his career.

However, his last stay at Dongjiang Hotel was back in 2025 during the third stage of the Nongshim Cup – which was also his last time representing China in the Nongshim Cup.

As a member of the team that time, after learning that Rui Zhao would replace Ni Jue in the end, he refused to give up his position as the main player.

To be honest, he had no fighting spirit whatsoever when facing Liu Shixian, who was at the peak of his career.

Whether he could win or not was unimportant; his only thought was to at least take control of the game and nail that "little chess idiot" to the pillar of shame. But who knew that the momentum he had built would be completely neutralized by Yong Shi Zhaojun's "pink miracle," and he would even suffer a rapid backlash afterward.

In the Spring Orchid Cup, he suffered a crushing defeat against his arch-rival, and the title of "Chess Saint" was also taken down by Raiki in revenge—the successive defeats, like a cruel joke of fate, plunged him completely into the abyss...

really……

Go should be left to Go itself!
A strong sense of emotion welled up in Lin Ruixin's heart!

At the very least...

Don't let things outside the trading board distract her!

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had made up his mind.

At the corner of the corridor ahead, a bustling crowd and flashing lights filled the air! We've arrived at the media interview area!
Lin Ruixin's steps did not falter at all, and the gentle lines on her face that had been filled with reminiscence and emotion vanished instantly!

Instead, he wore a cold, resentful expression, as if he were burdened with a deep-seated hatred!
His brows were furrowed, his lips were downturned, and he was filled with undisguised hostility and a ruthless eagerness to eliminate his opponent!

This near-perfect Avenger disguise was instantly and precisely captured by the media cameras that were already waiting there!

Click! Click! Click!

The rapid clicking of camera shutters was like a torrential downpour, and the blinding flashes almost overwhelmed him! Countless microphones were thrust at him like spears:

"Lin 9-dan! Are you confident about the upcoming challenge match?"

"Lin 9-dan! Do you really believe that Rui Zhao 9-dan engaged in unfair competition?"

"Lin 9-dan! Do you really think that one match can prove who is the greatest player in Chinese history?"

……

One question after another came rushing at him across the barrier, but the latest champion of the Sanshuang Cup turned a deaf ear to them!
He walked straight through the bustling media area without glancing to the side! His "murderous" expression was captured by the camera and turned into news reports titled "Lin Ruixin, 9th Dan, is determined to reclaim the title of the number one player in Chinese history," which instantly spread all over the world!

Now, passing through the hustle and bustle of the media area, Lin Ruixin's vision suddenly opened up—the door to the chess room was right in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ruixin pushed open the door and went inside.

The room was dimly lit. In front of the chessboard, his nemesis, the eternal Zhaojun Rui Zhao, sat calmly to one side of the table, as if all the noise outside had nothing to do with her.

Hearing the door open, Rui Zhao slowly raised her head and calmly looked at Lin Ruixin who walked in.

Their eyes met briefly in the air, and in that instant, Lin Ruixin seemed to catch a faint glimpse of understanding deep within the other's clear, watery eyes.

For a moment, he wanted to respond to the other party. However, Lin Ruixin, under the global spotlight, knew perfectly well that he must not show any unusual behavior at this moment!

He took a deep breath, but the cold expression on his face did not soften; instead, it became even more chilling! The hostility in his eyes sharpened even more!

Then, he strode forward and walked straight to the chessboard, looking down at Rui Zhao, who was sitting upright.
"It's unbelievable that you, a cheater, dare to come out and accept the challenge today! Today is the day you're utterly disgraced!"

Rui Zhao blinked, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Her face remained completely expressionless.

She simply raised her eyelids calmly, meeting Lin Ruixin's hostile gaze with a serene expression, her voice as clear as a mountain spring:
"This game of chess..."

"Should we proceed according to the Chinese rules, as you requested at the previous media briefing, Lin Jiudan?"

"of course!"

Lin Ruixin let out a cold laugh upon hearing this:
"You only have seven world championship titles, and you don't even know how much of that is inflated, yet you expect me to play against you first?! No way!"
"You better pray I don't guess it's White! Otherwise you've basically lost half the game!"

After hearing this, Yongshi Zhaojun raised her eyes again and gave Lin Ruixin a deep look.

Then, she didn't say anything more, but made an unexpected move—

She gently picked up the white chess box that was in front of her and placed it steadily in front of Lin Ruixin!
"...If Lin Jiuduan, you prefer to play Bai..."

"Then you can just play white."

This scene seems familiar!
Last April at the Spring Orchid Cup, Huaxia Longjie, who had already achieved three consecutive world championship titles and was recognized as the world's number one player, also calmly pushed the white chess box in front of Lin Ruixin, who was extremely obsessed with it!

...Hmm...

Even now, listening to her talk, I think: she was really good at putting on an act!

Lin Ruixin looked at the white chess box that had been pushed in front of her and muttered a helpless remark in her heart, even having an unconscious urge to curl the corners of her mouth.

...I don't know if she did it on purpose or by accident?
However, the face of the eight-time champion of China remained as cold and stern as ice!

Then he suddenly reached out and roughly pulled the white chess box over! The movement was so forceful that several chess pieces rolled out of the box, making a crisp sound on the chessboard.

"...Then you'll regret it!!"

"This time I'll show you why I'm called 'Zero-Defeat Lin Bai'!!!" (End of Chapter)
