Chapter 187 I Don’t Die Fast Enough

"It seems that I am the first one...ah, the second one?"

December 7, 23: p.m.

Liu Yuhong, who successfully passed the second round, walked out of the game room. Just as he was about to express his feelings, he found that the Ice Queen was already being interviewed in the official live broadcast area.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from beside him:
"Yu Hong, you're in pretty good shape! It ended pretty quickly."

Liu Yuhong took a look and saw that it was Wang Haocheng, the second player of his own team.

She successfully eliminated Taiwan's Tian Xuejia in the first round, but unfortunately ran into the current top female player in the second round.

"Sister Wang! Did you... fail to stop the attack?"

"Isn't that hard to see?"

Wang Haocheng shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that although she felt regretful, she couldn't say she was unwilling to give up - after all, she had been mentally prepared for this.

"So...how is the Ice Queen doing?"

The senior lady in the team smiled and sighed:

"If it were worse, I wouldn't be waiting for you here right now..."

"That's true... But luckily I won't run into her in the next two days."

Liu Yuhong followed with a bitter smile:
“Then I’ll go over there and wait for the interview!
“Don’t worry about it, Sister Wang. After all, there’s nothing we can do about it since we drew Jin Youen so early.”

Wang Haocheng nodded: "Well, after this year's Women's Weiqi League, I can prepare for pregnancy with peace of mind. It's a good opportunity to avoid the newcomers..."

Newbie?

Ah, Man Jing has been very motivated recently.

Liu Yuhong was stunned for a moment, then reacted and joked:

"Man Jing is one of us, why are you avoiding us, Sister Wang?"

After hearing these words, Wang Haocheng looked at his commander meaningfully:
"Well... you'll find out soon enough."

Hmm? Why is Sister Wang keeping this a secret?

Liu Yuhong was puzzled when he saw this, and was about to ask, but Wang Haocheng added:

"...Also, I think Sun Yi really cares about you. Would you really not consider it?"

Empress Liu, who was about to ask a question, refused to do so and protested with her lips puffed up:

"No, Sister Wang, am I that bad? Do I have to find a monkey? Besides, he's younger than me!"

Wang Haocheng raised his eyebrows and said in a high tone:
“Okay—okay—I just wanted to mention it!
"The only person who is close to your age, good at chess and single is Sun Yi, right? You can't just look for Lin Ruixin!"

"Or do you want to harm Little Bear and Little Princess? Or even...your junior brother?"

"What? I'm ignoring you!"

Liu Yuhong immediately became angry, and after saying something, he went straight to the official interview area not far away, waiting to be interviewed.

It just so happened that the Ice Queen had just finished being interviewed. Song Jin was also enthusiastic when he saw Liu Yuhong coming over.

"Hello, Yu Hong! You performed very well today!"

"Ah, it's okay, just...still can't compare to the Ice Queen."

Liu Yuhong said modestly:
“In the second round, the opponents were very strong.

"I thought it was pretty good that I finished in less than four hours, but I didn't expect Kim Woo Eun to be even faster!"

"Ah, this doesn't mean that the faster you win, the better!"

Song Jin helped Liu Yuhong.

"In today's round, the first game without suspense is definitely Rui Zhao's, but it can't be said that Rui Zhao is stronger than the Ice Queen!"

"Rui, Rui Zhao?"

Hearing this, Queen Mulan was stunned:
"Song Jin, you are talking about yesterday's game, right?

"Yesterday's game was indeed because Fujisawa Mari's layout was too casual, so..."

"no no!"

Song Jin couldn't help but interrupt, and at the same time signaled for a staff member to hand over a tablet:
"I'm talking about today's round. Our new first-dan player performed really well!"

"...Look, even though Rui Zhao hasn't come out yet, this game of chess has already been decided."

"what?"

Liu Yuhong couldn't help but widen his eyes and quickly took the tablet to take a look.

On the virtual chessboard on the screen, the entire right half of the white chess pieces were in disarray and in mourning. There was not a single living piece on nearly half of the board!
...

...

"I, I give up..."

By the 203rd move, Park Wenmei, whose half of the chessboard had been almost wiped out by Rui Zhao, finally let go of the last bit of unwillingness in her heart and resigned herself to defeat.

In fact, this outcome was almost foreseeable: anyone with a little bit of experience knows that in the ironclad territory of black chess on the right half, it would be extremely difficult for a white piece to survive!
Those who have AI-assisted analysis have long understood that even the AI ​​with its ridiculous ability to deal with isolated pieces has already given up the idea of ​​keeping the pieces alive on the right side, let alone Park Wenmei, who is just a mortal!

This game of chess lost its suspense after 100 moves, but the situation was only revealed after 200 moves.

The reason why she persisted until now is that it took some time for Park Wenmei to face the reality of being defeated by the new first-dan female anchor.

However, after waiting for two seconds, Park Wenmei did not receive a reply from her opponent. She looked up and saw the girl opposite her with a blank expression and fixed eyes, still completely immersed in the chess game on the board.

So focused! No wonder...

After a little surprise, Park Wenmei no longer looked down on the girl in front of her. Then she gently touched her arm with her hand.

Rui Zhao then came back to his senses and looked at Park Wenmei with a little confusion.

"Well, I give up." Park Wenmei said simply and relievedly in broken Chinese.

"what……"

After hearing these words, the bright and beautiful girl was still stunned for two seconds, then blinked as if waking up from a dream, and then she completely digested the facts in front of her.

"Um, um...thank you for your advice!"

Rui Zhao hurriedly stood up to return the greeting, and even stumbled when he stood up, losing his balance and sitting back on the chair. He stood up completely the second time and bowed slightly.

This……

Are you Japanese?!

It's just a game of chess, why are you standing up and bowing?
He just looked so decisive and yet as calm as a mountain, but now he looks so foolish.

Park Wenmei complained in her heart, but since she couldn't speak the language, she couldn't make a joke to ease the atmosphere. She could only smile tiredly and then began to pack up her chess equipment.

Normally, both players would review the game after most matches, but Park Moon-mi didn't seem to be interested in doing so.

She knew that there were more important things to do now.

After putting away the chess equipment, the girl still sat in her original position, her beautiful eyes closed, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. Park Wenmei didn't wait any longer.

She went straight to the door of the game room to retrieve her phone, and immediately sent two messages to her teammates:

[Youen, I feel you need to prepare well for tomorrow's game. I can help you collect information.]

[This female anchor is really not simple! ]

...

...

While Rui Zhao had just finished her battle for the day, the Go forum in China was bustling with activity.

Before the official battle report came out, the news that [Go Xiao Zhao] had defeated the top ten female players in the world spread like wildfire, faster than the Western reporters!
The girl's victory sounded the clarion call for the counterattack of the "pro-Zhao faction" on the Internet. The fans of [Go Xiao Zhao] and some of Lin Ruixin's black fans who had been fighting against the wind for a long time received extremely strong support, and immediately turned the tables and entered the stage of strategic counterattack in the previous two debates!
Yes, two debates.

One is about the Wu Yue Cup wildcard - to be honest, there is no need to discuss this now.

In the 24-player tournament, whether a player who directly crushed the South Korean women's champion to reach the quarterfinals deserves a wild card does not need any discussion at all - even if she broke some so-called "conventions".

Anyone who still has doubts about this is either stupid or evil! We can block them all without thinking and purify the internet.

Even the person who originally posted the hot post to provoke a vote could not stand the endless stream of ridicule under the post, and deleted the post and ran away in shame.

As for the other scene... it was the earlier one "Is Lin Ruixin a coward or not?"

Although the "Zhao supporters" believed that the chess master Lin Ruixin had slipped away very quickly, the gap between a female new first-dan and the current top player in China was far from being made up by a handicap. Even the "Zhao supporters" could not find Lin Ruixin's "motive for committing the crime", so they had to let it go.

But today, Rui Zhao showed chess skills that are almost equal to those of two women in the game where she crushed Park Wenmei. This provided important evidence for the "pro-Zhao faction"!

Even though Chess Master Lin could suppress the two opponents by giving them the first move, considering that the game he gave them the first move that day was conducted when Lin Ruixin had just finished the final game of the Chess Master Tournament and was not in good shape, Chess Master Lin did have reasons to be afraid of the battle!

For a time, all the major Go forums were once again filled with saliva flying, and because of the superposition of two debates, the heat was unprecedented:
[I like to see Lin Ruixin’s fans saying: My brother is so awesome, how could he be afraid of a new first dan! And she’s a girl! He’s fine now, is his face swollen? ]

[I knew that Lin Ruixin’s promises during the live broadcast were worthy of suspicion: he also said that he practiced chess very hard! ]

[In fact, I have always wondered, isn't it said that girl helps girl? Why does Lin Ruixin still have so many female fans when he mocks Rui Zhao and female chess players so much? ]

[Haha, do you think those "China-hating" people on the Internet are not Chinese? Besides, you know that pretty girls are more likely to be targeted by the same sex. ]

[I understand, brother, you hit the nail on the head]

As the wind turned, those who had previously supported the "anti-Zhao faction" also left the organization one after another.

These passers-by actually had no ill intentions. They simply thought that a beautiful anchor who had just been promoted to a professional league got a wild card, and there must be some interest transfer involved, so they severely disparaged her.

But after Rui Zhao achieved success, passers-by changed their attitudes faster than anyone else, and many even turned from haters to fans on the spot!

The only ones still resisting are Lin Ruixin’s die-hard fans.

Although the situation is already very unfavorable, fans still have one last lifeline - the Rookie King Contest.

As long as Rui Zhao doesn't win the Rookie of the Year title, it's not worth mentioning.

And even if he got it, he would have to beat Lin Ruixin first to prove himself.

[Haha, isn't it just a fluke that she won a round against Park Moon-mi? Are you bragging about it? If she can do as she said, win the Rookie of the Year title and challenge my Lin Bao again! ]

[She is so arrogant that she doesn't allow anyone to say anything. The live broadcast queen is really sensitive! ]

[What are the fans of Queen Zhao Tian barking about now? My Rui Rui has already said that when she wins the Rookie of the Year award, I will definitely let her give her some guidance! ]

……

Although the fans were at the forefront, each one was more enthusiastic than the other in defending Lin Ruixin.

But when the great chess master Lin saw these comments from his own fans, his eyelids twitched:
No, aren’t you all my fans? !
Why do I look back... everyone seems to think I'm not dying fast enough?!

I will probably have to write two chapters between games tomorrow, and try to start writing the game with the Ice Queen the day after tomorrow.
