Chapter 211 Where We Meet Next Time
"Ah... a big country like China really has many geniuses!
"Too unexpectedly, such an amazing new Shodan appeared!"

At twelve o'clock noon on July 7, in the training room of the South Korean Chess Institute, fifteen minutes after the training game ended.

After listening to the news that the Ice Queen got from Zheng Qiang, Liu Shixian, who was sitting on the side of the chessboard, said with emotion:
"...It's a pity that she's a girl, otherwise I'd be looking forward to meeting her in a competition in the future!"

Jin Youen, who was sitting on the other side of the chess table, looked at the other party with a little dissatisfaction, but said nothing in the end.

It has never been the Ice Queen's habit to argue with words.

But I have to rely on my chess skills to refute it...hmm.

So there doesn't seem to be anything to argue about.

The Queen sighed:

"It's amazing that you can still smile when you see the new talents coming out one after another in China...

"To be honest, I think my advantage in women is greater than yours in men, but I am also quite troubled by the new talents emerging in China...

"But you're worried that our South Korean Go is too good, right?"

Liu Shixian shrugged and said:
"That's not the case. I still hope that South Korean Go can continue to improve and develop - after all, it would be too boring if no one plays such an interesting game with me!

"But it is precisely for this reason that I also hope that China can have more interesting chess players. That way, it will be more fun!"

The queen frowned upon hearing this and said worriedly:

"But... you should also know that the development of Go in our country has actually been on a downward trend in recent years. The reason why it looks okay on the surface is entirely due to the good results.

"Women don't get much attention, so forget it, I'll just do my best.

"But man, if you fail, I really don't know who can take over and continue the momentum of domestic Go."

Liu Shixian still had a smile on his face and answered simply:
"That……

"Isn't it okay if I don't collapse?"

Hearing this, Jin Youen frowned even more:

“Xiao Liu! You are not even twenty-four yet, so you may not feel the decline yet.

"But it is an indisputable fact that Go players will gradually decline after the age of 26!"

"maybe."

Liu Shixian's answer was still understated:
“But at that time… I didn’t need to be stronger than I am now.

"As long as I am still better than others, isn't that enough?"

This guy……

His talent is obviously not the best, but he still dares to say that...

The Ice Queen frowned and remained silent for a while, but finally couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“I’m really impressed by you!
“In the past two years, I have never let the Women’s World Championship slip away, but looking at that little witch from China and this newly emerged Rui Zhao, I am quite troubled.

"You have also been blocked several times in the recent World Championships. Last year, Xiong Siyi in the Sanshuang Cup, Dai Ran in the Miao Family Lily Cup, and Tang Guansheng in this year's Sanshuang Cup... You have been blocked so many times, and yet you are still so confident!"

"Hey, didn't I win the LIG Cup last year and the Spring Orchid Cup this year... A 40% chance of winning is already very high!"

Liu Shixian retorted slightly.

“Besides, the competition is so fierce nowadays, and the higher the competition, the easier it is to fail.

"A duel between top masters, who can go more than ten games without losing..."

But when it came to this, Liu Shixian seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly stopped talking.

"What, what happened?" the queen couldn't help but ask.

Young Master Liu immediately put on a serious look:

"...Oh, no, wait.

"It seems that I can do it in the Nongshim Cup... Sorry, I said the wrong thing!"

I'm so...

Seeing the other person pretending to be stupid but secretly proud, even though the Ice Queen was always emotionally stable, she couldn't help rolling her eyes at this moment.

But what Young Master Liu said was actually true!
In the past three years of Nongshim Cup, Liu Shixian played as a deputy general once and as a main general twice, and won four, four, and two consecutive victories respectively, and successfully ended the Nongshim Cup each time.

Ten consecutive wins. This cross-border winning streak in the Nongshim Cup is second only to the 14 consecutive wins of Choi Myung-ho, who is recognized as the first in the World Championship era and has won 16 World Championships, ranking second in history, which is extremely dazzling.

Tch... I was tricked by this guy.

After secretly cursing in his heart, Jin Youen also decided to pour a bucket of cold water on the other party:

"…Then why don't you show this energy in the World Championships?"

"I can't help it. The ring match is more interesting. The world competition... doesn't feel that exciting."

Liu Shixian stretched and said.

"Ah, speaking of which, in this year's Nongshim Cup, China's Lin Ruixin is not participating, and Dai Ran, who is not good at fast chess, is joining in. It might be boring...

"Now... I can only hope that this newcomer Lei Qi can give me some surprises!"

The Queen had no words to say about Liu Shixian's attitude of playing with fire, so she could only say:

"Come to think of it... you seem to be particularly concerned about Lei Qi recently, even though you haven't played with Lei Qi yet, right?"

"It's just that I haven't played in an official competition yet... I've tried informal competitions."

Liu Shixian's smile was meaningful.

“What can I say!

"My view of Lei Qi is basically the same as your view of Rui Zhao... Don't you want to play another game with Rui Zhao sooner rather than later?"

The Ice Queen was stunned and did not give a direct answer. But her subsequent words already showed her attitude:

“…Unfortunately, there are too few international competitions among women.

"If I want to meet her in a formal competition again, it will be in the Fan Air Battle in March next year!"

Liu Shixian shook his head slightly upon hearing this, and refuted mysteriously: "...That's not necessarily the case, maybe there will be a chance before that!"

"uncertain?"

The Queen briefly thought about it, but she didn't remember at all that there would be any women's international competitions before the Fan Air War next year.

Seeing Jin Youen's doubts, Liu Shixian kept the secret even more:
"Well, you'll probably know after a while.

"That's perfect! Then we can compete... to see who gets eliminated first?"

"Hmm???" The Queen became more and more confused.

But just as she was about to ask the question, the world's number one Go player had already stood up and left to find new fun.

This guy……

Looking at Liu Shixian's departing back, Jin Youen felt quite resentful for a moment.

But she knew that given the other party's cheerful personality, he would never reveal any more information, so she was too lazy to give him the chance to pretend.

But, playing against that little girl again...?

Jin Youen muttered quietly in his heart.

I hope...she can be discharged from the hospital soon.

...

...

However, what the Queen didn't know was...

At this time, Rui Zhao was no longer hospitalized in Rongcheng...

At the same time, Huaxia, Zhongyuan Province, Bianzhou City, Boman International Hotel.

"No, Rui Zhao...

"Why are you here?!!!"

When Cheng Yuyang finished the game, he saw a girl with a gloomy face sitting in a corner outside the stadium, reviewing and reflecting on the game, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

I worked overtime today and it’s even later…

We will resume updating at 11:00 am tomorrow, which is a holiday.
