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

Chapter 130 "Flow"

“…Lei Qi Jiudan decided not to waste any more time and chose to stick with him.

"If he can't capture this white piece, then Chess Master Lin Ruixin probably won't have any chance..."

Dongjiang City, the game room of Muhu Go Dojo.

In the first game of the Chess Saint Tournament, after White's amazing 114 moves, the situation did not change much.

Although Lin Ruixin tried to struggle many times, Lei Qi's response was flawless and did not give the black chess any chance.

The game went on calmly until the 236th move, when White caught one piece and the advantage turned into victory.

Rui Zhao continued to explain the changes on the board meticulously.

Suddenly, the official website reported the latest news from the competition. Rui Zhao paused for a moment and then changed the subject:
"Ah! Chess Master Lin has chosen to admit defeat! Indeed, there is no need to make any further moves in this situation!
"Congratulations..."

But Rui Zhao didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Lei Jingming beside him raised his tiger arm and suddenly roared:

"Good! This brat is really trying hard!

"Help me win the title of [Chess Saint] that I've always wanted!"

After shouting these two sentences, Lei Jingming was so excited that he couldn't help but punch the air.

Everyone was stunned by the situation, and Rui Zhao couldn't finish the words he was about to say.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxue, who was used to her husband's overly excited behavior, came to her senses in time. She strode forward, grabbed her husband's ear, and pulled Lei Jingming out of the game room, preventing her husband from further embarrassing himself.

"Wife, wife! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Gently, gently, gently..."

As Lao Lei Jiudan's last wail died out outside the game room, the temporary studio fell into a deathly silence again...

Looking at the comments in the live broadcast room, the screen was full of question marks and ellipsis marks...

To be honest, the host is usually the one responsible for smoothing things over.

But now, one of the two hosts has been taken away from the scene by his wife, and the other is a fool who can only talk about chess. How can they handle this situation!
Ai Jianan had no choice but to say:

"Ah, dear audience, I'm sorry! Lei Jingming needs to take care of some family matters temporarily. He will leave our live broadcast first!

"Xiao Zhao! Before the end of today's live broadcast, you, Teacher Yu and Teacher Li should briefly summarize this game!"

"Oh!"

The anchor finally reacted and said quickly:
“…Congratulations to Lei Qi Jiudan for winning the first match of this Chess Saint Tournament.

"This game of chess can be said to be very exciting! In the nearly sixty moves at the beginning, neither side made any mistakes, and in the middle of the game..."

...

...

"Xiao Lei, how are you?
"My 91st move of the tiger... did I perform well enough?"

Dajing City, Minglongtianyuan "Wanglong Pavilion".

Lin Ruixin, who had just admitted defeat, asked his opponent with a frivolous smile and an indifferent attitude.

However, after that little emotional ups and downs during the game, Lei Qi returned to his expressionless face - this is also his signature chess-playing feature.

However, this time, Lin Ruixin felt that his young opponent was even more calm than before.

"pretty good."

Lei Qi answered simply, without any emotion in his tone. For a moment it was impossible to tell whether the other party was pretending to be stupid, being sarcastic or simply not caring.

"Then I'll play the next game of chess well again, or you won't even be able to accept the title of Chess Master that I'm offering you!"

"Okay." Lei Qi's answer was still tasteless.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ruixin's expression was a little unnatural.

He has been in the Go circle for so many years, and he even played against Shang Chaotian directly. He knew that in addition to various chess skills on the board, Shang Chaotian also summed up a set of methods to calm the mind and focus, which can greatly improve the level of concentration during the game and enter the "flow state", thereby improving the overall level of play.

This time, Shang Chaotian asked Lei Qi to "seclude himself" for training for a month and a half in advance. It was obviously to allow Lei Qi, who had learned his method, to fully get into the state and compete in the "Chess Saint War" at the best level.

So today, whether on or off the court, Lin Ruixin was trying hard to interrupt Lei Qi's rhythm, trying to pull him out of that selfless "flow" state.

Unfortunately, all attempts ended in failure.

...Ah, if you think about it carefully, Lei Qi still had some emotional fluctuations in the middle.

For example, when he made move 91, which reduced his winning rate by nearly %, Lei Qi's flow was obviously interrupted.

But if you want to use this to disturb the other person's emotions, then of course it is absolutely impossible...

Before Lei Qi could make a mistake, his own people were gone!
Lin Ruixin felt annoyed looking at his opponent who was like a wooden man.

"Okay! I hope you, the Lei family, won't lose the chess saint competition for the third time this time!"

After saying this, Lin Ruixin no longer paid attention to his opponent and walked straight out of "Wanglong Pavilion". Lei Qi was left alone to collect his chess pieces and stand up silently.

Logically speaking, after the official competition is over, both players will give a brief review of the game.

However, it is because the chess master Lin is so cruel to people's mentality, and his foul mouth is also known to everyone.

Therefore, apart from the famous "silly, black and sweet" Xiong Siyi who discussed with Lin Ruixin without any scruples, it was normal that the other chess players did not review the game with Lin Ruixin after the game.

Lei Qi closed the chess box, saluted the staff, and walked out of the "Wanglong Pavilion" with a blank expression. At this time, outside the "Wanglong Pavilion", there were a lot of cameras and even reporters shouting questions at him.

But Lei Qi did not stop at all, just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, making his whole expression seem a little friendlier.

Soon Lei Qi walked through the corridor and came to his chess players' lounge.

And the one waiting for him here was his teacher, Shang Chaotian.

"Teacher Shang!"

"Congratulations! Lei Qi!"

Seeing the students coming back, Shang Chaotian greeted them with a smile.

"You played the game beautifully, especially the double tiger move in move 114! Lin Ruixin was stunned when he saw you make that move in seconds!"

"Oh, really? I didn't notice that at all."

The smile on Lei Qi's face was very faint, and his tone of voice was very gentle when he responded.

"When I'm in the flow state, I don't pay attention to anything else... except for Lin Ruixin's 91st move, I just couldn't hold it anymore."

"Hey, hey, don't say that at the press conference! I'm afraid if I anger this troublemaker, he'll make some big news for me!"

Shang Chaotian jokingly reminded the student, but there was a hint of relief in his expression.

"Flow" is one of the most valuable experiences he has summed up in the forty years of playing chess. When he was nearly forty years old and faced Lin Ruixin, who was not yet at his peak, he was still able to gain the upper hand in the chess saint battle, which was largely due to the "flow".

Unfortunately, among the three students, only Lei Qi learned the true skills, while Cai Shuang and Liu Yuhong only learned the basics.

But there is no way around it. "Flow" is, after all, a habit formation. Shang Chaotian himself only gradually achieved a stable "flow" state after he turned 30.

Cai Shuang and Liu Yuhong both became his disciples around the time they were promoted to professional professional players. Many of their habits had already been fully formed, and the effect of learning "flow" would be extremely limited, so it would be difficult for him to force it.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Lei Qi, whom he had been training since he was seven years old, was able to master this skill before reaching his peak.

“Uh… post-match press conference, should we attend it?

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with all the media in the industry. I'll just ask two simple questions and go through the motions!"

After making a joke, Shang Chaotian told his students about the arrangements he had made long ago.

Lu Wenjie put a lot of effort into this chess saint competition, trying to make a big splash through the chess saint competition. Shang Chaotian certainly couldn't willfully prevent Lei Qi from attending the post-match press conference just to ensure his condition.

However, he would do whatever he could to arrange small things like asking questions to the media and the questions raised by the media.

"Okay, Mr. Shang." Lei Qi responded, "Then I'll go now. I want to go back early to review the game I just played."

"Okay! I'll go with you!"

Shang Chaotian stood up immediately, but just as he was about to take the students to the press conference, he saw Lu Wenjie suddenly appear outside the lounge door and made a gesture to him.

"...Ah, Lei Qi, wait for me for a moment. Wen Jie probably has something to tell me."

"Yeah." Lei Qi had no objection.

Shang Chaotian walked quickly to the door. Lu Wenjie didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:
"Brother Tian, ​​the preliminary data from the official media broadcast of the Chess Master Tournament has just come out..."

"How is it? Has it grown a lot?" Shang Chaotian couldn't help but ask with concern.

In addition to the students' victory or defeat in this Chess Saint Tournament, what concerns him most is the ratings of the Chess Saint Tournament.

After all, this is the result of the hard work of Lu Wenjie and many staff members of the Chess Association, and the effect is really good - he felt that "Wanglong Pavilion" was very stylish as soon as he arrived.

In addition, both sides in this game are very popular and strong, so the live broadcast data should have increased significantly, right?
however……

"Growth? Not at all!"

Lu Wenjie raised his eyebrows towards his chairman.

"All the data are basically the same as the last Chess Saint Tournament, and some small data have even dropped a little."

"Ah? How could this happen?"

Shang Chaotian was horrified.

In his opinion, everyone has put so much effort into the Chess Saint Tournament, and even brought in a dual-title holder like Ni Jue to commentate. There is no reason why the live broadcast data should be so bad!

Could it be that... this game of Go has really been completely abandoned by this era? !

Just when Shang Chaotian was stunned by the shock, Lu Wenjie suddenly laughed.

Shang Chaotian was even more confused now. He thought that Lu Wenjie had suffered such a great blow that he couldn't recover for a while, so he quickly comforted him:
"Wen Jie, what are you laughing at?!
"Don't give up just because of this setback! We still have four games to go, let's think of a solution..."

"Hey! What's that, Brother Tian?"

Lu Wenjie interrupted quickly, looked at Shang Chaotian meaningfully, and then handed over his mobile phone.

“Brother Tian, ​​the data from our official media has not increased.

“But some people’s live broadcast data…exploded.”

Yesterday’s subscription data didn’t seem to drop (although it didn’t rise either), thank you for your support!
