Chapter 146 Preparing for War
"Hmm... In Japan, those who should swim have all swam out!"

October 6, 30pm.

In the chairman's office of the Chinese Go Association, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but whisper when he saw the results of the Japanese Qualifying Tournament just reported by the "Wu Yue Cup" Organizing Committee.

With the results of the Japanese qualifiers released, 24 of the 22 players in this year's "Wu Yue Cup" World Women's Go Championship have been confirmed, leaving only two wild cards.

But the wild card... this thing that seems to be the most free to give, actually makes Shang Chaotian a little embarrassed.

Originally, according to his plan, if there were players who clearly needed wild cards after the overseas trials, he would go directly to confront Lei Jingming after the chess saint tournament was over:

There is the Little Witch in China, and there is another player abroad who needs a wild card. These two wild cards can't be allocated. I believe Lei Jingming will not be so unreasonable.

But in this year's Wu Yue Cup foreign qualifiers, there were no upsets! All the famous female chess players from South Korea and Japan successfully qualified.

Although if we have to say it, South Korea and Japan also have so-called "rising stars of hope" to be recruited.

But as the saying goes, "Comparing people will make you die, comparing goods will make you throw them away."

Compared with Rui Zhao, those so-called "new stars" pale in comparison - both in terms of chess ability and appearance. Rui Zhao is indeed the most suitable candidate for the second wild card.

In such a situation, if the second wild card is given to a foreign country... I'm afraid Lei Jingming will be very angry with me.

Shang Chaotian had a headache for a while.

However, everyone has a procrastination problem. When Shang Chaotian thought that he could delay it for another ten days, he happily reconciled with himself:

Whatever you think now, you can think of it later!
On the contrary, I should rush to Qiantang tomorrow...

Lao Lei and Lei Qi should have arrived today...

...

...

"Lei Qi, your mother and I won't bother you anymore. Just prepare for the battle tonight!

"Ah, don't worry! If there's nothing else tomorrow, we won't look for you. Just be calm and prepare!"

At the same time, Huxi Hotel, Qiantang City.

After Lei Jingming and Qin Xiaoxue had dinner with their son, they sent him to his room so that he could prepare for the fourth game of the Chess Master Tournament the day after tomorrow.

Unlike Shang Chaotian who will arrive tomorrow, Lei Jingming and his wife and Lei Qi have already arrived at the competition venue today.

The reason, of course, is to adapt to the environment and adjust the body and mind in advance, so as to avoid being affected by the fatigue of the previous day's travel and travel and affecting the competition state.

Seeing that his father was thinking about him, Lei Qi nodded and said, "Yes! Dad, Mom, let's talk after I finish the game!"

Since he won the third game of the Chess Saint Tournament on June 6, he has been preparing for the fourth game at his home in Dongjiang. During this period, he remained the same as before - isolated from the outside world and concentrating on chess, which was almost the same as the period of "seclusion".

How could Lei Jingming not know that his son could use "flow"? Naturally, he fully cooperated with him. He also deliberately let his son stay in his room these days and talked to him as little as possible to avoid affecting his mind.

Even when they arrived at the beautiful Qiantang West Lake, Lei Jingming had no intention of chatting with his son.

After parking the car, checking into the room, and finishing dinner, she quickly sent her son back to the room without any unnecessary movements.

In fact, the "flow" technique is not that fragile.

General external information input will not have a significant impact on the user, as long as the user can clear the unnecessary thoughts in the mind in time before the game.

But the title of "Chess Saint" is too important after all. In addition, Lei Qi had a mental breakdown before his closed-door training. So this time, both Shang Chaotian and Lei Jingming were extremely careful and paid attention to everything, for fear of causing any unexpected situation.

Seeing that his son was fine, Lei Jingming felt relieved and immediately took Qin Xiaoxue back to his room.

...

"Wife, I feel like my son will be able to do it this time!"

As soon as he returned to the room, the slim old man couldn't wait to share his views with his wife.

"Do you know that when I played the holy chess war, Lao Shang was just like this, with a sluggish face, and he defeated me!
"It seems that my son has really mastered all of Old Shang's skills over the years. This time he will definitely be able to help our Lei family get a [Chess Saint] back!"

But Qin Xiaoxue gave him a blank look:
"Oh! You're so nervous about bringing that up?!

"During your two chess saint tournaments, I was pregnant once and had my two-year-old son with me the other time. After you lost, you had a gloomy face every day and retreated into your room without saying a word. How do you expect me to know?"

"Uh……"

Old Lei Jiudan thought about it for a moment and found that his wife was right. He hurriedly helped Qin Xiaoxue to sit on the bed, and then he knelt on one knee and respectfully massaged his wife's legs:
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife! She has made great contributions to this home!

"I was ignorant back then! Please forgive me, my dear wife!"

"Well... a little more strength!"

Qin Xiaoxue smiled and ordered her husband.

"Hey!" Lei Jingming responded quickly without any reluctance and increased the strength in his hands.

This man...even though he has a lot of minor flaws, he knows what is important and what is not.

Qin Xiaoxue secretly affirmed her husband, and then said:

"Oh, by the way, don't forget Rui Zhao will also be playing in the qualifying tournament tomorrow! Hurry up and give her a call to say hello!
"Didn't you say a few days ago that your student was very nervous about the qualifying tournament? As a teacher, why don't you take care of it?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Honey, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten!"

Lei Jingming reacted immediately, stopped and took out his cell phone to call his only student.

However, just as he picked up the phone, he suddenly realized something, shrank his head, and looked at his wife again, his eyes full of caution.

Qin Xiaoxue naturally understood and nodded, "You don't have to be so eager to survive, just fight! I think we've beaten him enough!

"Also, after your son finishes the chess tournament in a couple of days, don't just celebrate or get depressed. Remember to go to Chairman Shang about Rui Zhao's matter!"

"Oh, I will definitely not come to celebrate, don't worry!"

After getting his wife's approval, Lei Jingming finally felt relieved and quickly made a phone call.

Alas, I am still part of this family!

Otherwise, what can this man plan?
Looking at her husband in front of her, Qin Xiaoxue curled the corners of her mouth, quite proud.

...

...

"Teacher Lei, don't worry, everything is fine! There will be no problem."

Gezhou City, Tongge Hotel.

Rui Zhao, who was preparing for the final battle in the room, received a call from Lei Jingming.

Hearing Rui Zhao's nervous voice, Lei Jingming realized that his condition was still a little bit wrong, so he continued to comfort him:

"It's okay, Rui Zhao, like I said before, show your strength!

"With your level, you can just walk sideways among these unranked girls in the women's group and bully them at will!

"You have to know that you are the one who can fight with the little witch to the end! Not to mention that you have been practicing chess every day for more than half a month, and your level of chaos fighting has improved a bit.

"When you go on stage tomorrow, you will definitely kill people without restraint. No one wants to run into you!"

Hearing this, Rui Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In her previous life, due to psychological problems, her performance in the dan ranking tournament was extremely poor. Not to mention that no one wanted to meet her, many people even regarded her as a lifeline and wanted to play against her.

"Well... okay, I'll do my best." Rui Zhao still responded.

She knew that Lei Jingming mainly wanted to help her relax and did not intend to expose her scars.

Lei Jingming seemed to sense that the student still had some tension and worry in his tone, so he continued:

"It's alright, Rui Zhao. I'll come to Gezhou right after I finish the fourth game of the Chess Saint Tournament with Lei Qi in Qiantang! Don't worry, your master will be here the day after tomorrow evening!"

"No, no need! I don't feel comfortable doing that! Please stay with Lei Qi Jiudan for a while!" Rui Zhao declined hurriedly.

"Hey! That kid doesn't need me normally, and there might not even be a fifth game!"

“Ah! That’s right!”

"Right? So don't worry!"

Lei Jingming said a few more words of comfort before hanging up the phone.

After finishing the call, Rui Zhao pondered for a while, and finally called out the string of shining words that only she could see.

When she saw the words [Current Status: Off], she pursed her lips slightly, feeling very conflicted.

She tried it at home last night. After accumulating fans over the past half month, the system has further improved her strength, and she has reached the level of an eighth-level strongman.

But she found it difficult to be happy.

To be honest, if possible, she absolutely did not want to use external forces to play chess in a formal competition: in her opinion, this really violated the ethics of playing chess.

But... after crossing over, although her strength has been further improved and she has received care and guidance from the teachers, she still has no confidence in passing the qualifying tournament without using the system.

Um...no!
You can try it yourself at the beginning tomorrow, and there is enough room for error for three games.

But if it really seems that it doesn't work, the system still has to be used!
Rui Zhao said silently in his heart.

The parents here, the three teachers, Chairman Shang, Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Huang...

This time, so many people are waiting for the news of my successful promotion and are also helping me solve my problems. How can I not try my best to seize the opportunity when I clearly have it?
Rui Zhao bit his lip and made up his mind with guilt in his heart.

It’s almost the end of the month. I will see the first payment of royalties at the beginning of next month. I’m so happy~
