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

Chapter 147 Let’s win the top prize!
July 7st, Saturday, the first day of the qualifying tournament.

Relying on the sleeping pills he had secretly hidden earlier, Rui Zhao managed to sleep for a few hours last night. When he woke up early in the morning, he had dark circles under his eyes.

However...this kind of thing is no longer within her scope of concern.

After getting up, the girl took several deep breaths and tried to feel her limbs and body, and found that the situation was not too bad.

My hands and feet were just trembling slightly, and my body just felt a little nauseous.

This is already much better than the last two qualifying tournaments in her previous life - during those two qualifying tournaments, she had to be supported by others when she went to the competition venue.

It is probably because the original owner had always lived a carefree life, leaving enough dopamine in the body, which somewhat alleviated some of Rui Zhao's symptoms.

She took a deep breath and checked the time, it was almost seven o'clock.

Today was the first day, and there would be a half-hour opening ceremony before the official start of the competition at 8:30. She had to get up quickly.

At this moment, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Ai Jianan.

【简乱安民】: Xiao Zhao meow! Good luck in the dan ranking tournament! I will come to Gezhou in a few days to take pictures of you being awarded the dan title!

Seeing this blessing, Rui Zhao forced a smile, and tried to encourage himself, and continued to recite in his heart:
It’s okay, I’m better than them all… I’m better than them all…

...

...

"Zhao Zhao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?!"

In the morning, Rui Guoquan came to call his daughter for dinner, and was shocked to see Rui Zhao looking listless and haggard.

"If you feel unwell, let's go to the hospital first! Your health is important!"

"Dad, it's okay!"

Rui Zhao struggled to force a smile and said to Rui Guoquan.

"I'm just a little nervous, but I'll be fine once I get used to it!"

Rui Guoquan was still a little worried, but since Rui Zhao had no problem biting him to death, he couldn't say much. He could only accompany his daughter to have a simple meal and then go to the first floor of Tongge Tower to attend the opening ceremony of the competition.

In order to ensure the order of the competition, no non-competitors are allowed to enter the venue except the team leaders of each registered unit.

Rui Guoquan had no choice but to ask Yu Qingguang to pay more attention to his daughter, and then he went back to the room with Liao Xiang and other parents to wait.

...

The qualifying tournament has always been divided into youth male and female groups and adult male and female groups, with a total of four groups competing separately, and this time is no exception.

The competition lasts half a day, with the youth male and female groups playing a total of 15 rounds, while the adult male and female groups play 9 rounds.

After the first five days (July 7st - 1th) of the competition are completed, the two groups of adult players will be awarded grades and leave after completing the competition, while the two groups of youth players will continue the competition after a day of rest on July 5th. After all fifteen rounds are completed on the morning of July 7th, the final results will be announced and grades will be awarded.

The two adult groups of the Wood Fox Dojo were not attended, so we won’t talk about them. Let’s just talk about the two youth groups.

According to the rules of the ranking tournament, a player is guaranteed a promotion if he or she wins twelve games out of fifteen rounds. Therefore, the tournament stipulates that as long as a player wins twelve games, he or she does not need to compete anymore and can advance to the next level early.

The player who first achieves twelve wins will be the "top scorer" of this ranking tournament (although this title is just a term, and it has no practical benefits other than helping to promote the dojo).

If the number of wins is eleven, the small points usually have to be calculated carefully (like last year Cheng Yuyang was unfortunately not selected even though he had eleven wins and the small points were calculated). In very rare years, there may be times when ten wins are counted as small points, but that's the maximum.

If a player gets six losses in advance, then the player's qualifying tournament can be declared over in advance.

...

At the opening ceremony, all participating members lined up according to their participating units.

When Rui Zhao stood still with the team of Muhu Go Dojo, his outstanding appearance quickly attracted the attention of people around him.

Many contestants immediately recognized this well-known anchor, and soon people around him started talking about him. Two teenagers, about fifteen or sixteen years old, were particularly loud.

"Hey, that's... [Go Xiao Zhao]?! Why is she here?"

"She will definitely come! Her assistant has already said that she plans to get promoted to the dan this year!"

"Huh? Isn't she a professional? I saw her win most of the game when she played Little Witch the other day."

"What? She's only at the professional level, not yet a professional! Have you forgotten that she was the one who blocked Bai Yinhua in the amateur competition 'Metropolitan Cup'?"

"Zhao! Isn't she killing everyone in the women's group? Women are always worse than the others!"

"I don't think so. Didn't she keep the score of the game she won against Bai Yinhua? I always feel like there's something fishy going on. How could someone so pretty play chess well? Maybe she's using Go to gild herself!"

"Yeah, that makes sense... Hey, look at how nervous she is, she doesn't look like she's going to kill people!"

……

Yu Qingguang frowned slightly when he heard the gossip.

Before leaving yesterday, Lei Jingming called him specifically and told him that Rui Zhao seemed a little nervous about the qualifying tournament, and asked him to pay special attention to Rui Zhao's condition.

At that time, he didn't care much about it. He thought that with Rui Zhao's strength, he would probably be defeated in half an hour in the women's qualifying tournament. There was no need to be nervous!
But who would have thought that after watching her for the past two days, Yu Qingguang found that Rui Zhao was really not in a good state, and she still had a bitter face! When asked why, she just said that she was a little nervous.

This made Yu Qingguang feel very bad.

He has been engaged in Go promotion training for so many years, so he has naturally seen all kinds of situations, including some people who suffered psychological problems during the qualifying tournament.

Rui Zhao's current performance is in line with this situation. He was very worried that the mixed noise of the surrounding discussions would further affect Rui Zhao's state. Just when he was about to speak out to stop the young people who were talking next to him, he never expected that a loud and young voice suddenly emerged from his team.

"Those two over there! What are you arguing about?

"Didn't both of you fail to defeat me last year? How dare you question Rui Zhao?"

Yu Qingguang didn't even need to go and look specifically, how could he not recognize the voice of Cheng Yuyang, the old "repeater"!

The two young men who were talking the most were Cheng Yuyang's opponents in the qualifying tournament last year. Seeing that his old acquaintances were actually talking about his classmates in his own dojo, he decisively came out to support them.

As soon as Cheng Yuyang's voice came out, the discussions around suddenly quieted down.

The two young men who were scolded blushed, but refused to give in and said:

"Why are you so proud? You were just a goalkeeper last year, weren't you?"

Cheng Yuyang raised his eyebrows and said in a rather arrogant tone:

"Ha! It seems like you guys are still not convinced by my victory last year?!

"That's right. Last year I stepped on you guys to become a goalkeeper which wasn't very impressive. This year I'll step on you guys to become the top scorer in the qualifying tournament! I'll give you guys a lot of face!"

"you……"

The two teenagers on the opposite side were about to retort, but were discovered by their team leader, who immediately scolded them, and the matter was thus over.

After helping Rui Zhao, Cheng Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at his theoretical "junior sister":
"Rui Zhao, ignore these gossipers. Let's just take our place as the top scholar! Let them keep gossiping!"

But Rui Zhao was suddenly stunned and looked at Cheng Yuyang in confusion.

"What, what happened? What just happened?"

Now it was Cheng Yuyang's turn to be embarrassed:

It seems you didn't hear their discussion at all!

Then why are you frowning all the time!
Cheng Yuyang couldn't help but rubbed his hair and said embarrassedly:

"No, nothing. I just thought that we should work hard and try to get both first place honors in the youth category!"

"The top scholar..."

Rui Zhao's smile was forced.

"I, I just hope I can get promoted smoothly..."

At this time, Cheng Yuyang also felt that Rui Zhao's condition was a little off today, so he smiled and tried to encourage him:

"Hey, Rui Zhao, you are the only official student of Mr. Lei, why don't you learn some of Mr. Lei's spirit?

"'Be aggressive!' Isn't it?"

Rui Zhao was stunned to hear that Cheng Yuyang also knew this sentence.

Well! I am Mr. Lei's student, how can I be stage fright before the competition starts?
She gritted her teeth and nodded:
"Well! Let's take back all the top prizes!"

"This is so decent!"

The young man answered approvingly, and then he began to review another move that Lei Jingming had taught him:
How to save face after making a big promise.

After all, compared to Rui Zhao's overwhelming advantage in the women's group, the men's group is divided among many groups.

It is still a question whether he, an older "repeater", can win the top prize...

However, the same words still apply:
No matter whether it works or not, the momentum must be there first!

At least on the surface...

...

...

The brief opening ceremony ended quickly, and Rui Zhao walked stiffly to his assigned table, ready to play chess.

At this time, a little girl wearing glasses, about twelve or thirteen years old, was already sitting in front of the chess table. When she saw Rui Zhao coming over, she couldn't help but swallow nervously.

After three live broadcasts of the Chess Saint War in recent days, [Go Xiaozhao] has become quite famous in the Go circle.

Although many older generation chess fans who are less exposed to new things may not know this, the new generation of young people who are aiming to become professional chess masters watch many live broadcasts and video websites, so they are naturally familiar with Rui Zhao, the hottest star in Go live broadcasts.

Therefore, the girl with glasses already knew how strong Rui Zhao was. Facing a game that was very likely to be lost, it was hard for the girl to be happy.

After guessing who would go first, both of them sat at the table as if they were facing a great enemy, which made the girl with glasses very strange.

It's normal for me to be nervous. Why are you so nervous as a professional master?

However, she didn't have time to be surprised for long - it was almost half past eight.

"Okay, contestants, the competition begins now!"

With an order from Kong Zhiyong, vice chairman of the Chinese Chess Association, more than 300 games began.

The annual Chinese Go ranking tournament has officially kicked off.
