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

Chapter 226 Sensible
Tuesday, October 8th.

Dajing City, Dachang Airport.

At 11:30 am, Cai Shuang got off the taxi and stopped at the agreed meeting point.

He arrived earlier than the agreed time and waited for his teacher and fellow apprentices to go to Gezhou together.

This time, he and Lei Qi went to Gezhou to participate in what was probably the last Tongge Cup National Go Championship, while Shang Chaotian went to support the event.

The reason why it is said to be the last one is that next year's 'Tongge Cup' will be officially upgraded to an annual world competition and will no longer be called the "National Championship".

The Tongge Cup National Go Championship is a long-standing national event that existed before Gezhou City officially launched its "Go cultural tourism strategy." Even when Gezhou City's cultural tourism strategy was first launched, it was centered around this long-standing event.

This competition is not an open competition. There are 32 places in total, which are allocated to the top 31 players in the domestic rating (can be postponed) and one player with the highest rating under 18 years old (if the highest score meets both the former, the lower rating will be postponed). Therefore, it is not in the competition plan of a silly female anchor in the second half of the year.

During the last Tongge Cup, two of Shang Chaotian’s students also participated in the competition.

At that time, Cai Shuang was ranked 28th in the rating points, and although Lei Qi was only ranked 39th in the country, he successfully entered the competition with his status as the "No. underage player in the country."

However, the final results of the brothers were not as shown by the ranking points at that time.

In the first round of the Tongge Cup last year, Cai Shuang was eliminated by Zhu Yuanjun.

But Lei Qi fought his way to the semi-finals, and only lost to Dai Ran after a hard fight, which shocked the media.

The last Tongge Cup was also considered by the chess community as one of the important signs of the rapid rise of Lei Qi, the recognized future number one player, in a short period of time.

However, Lei Qi will definitely not be in a good mood when he visits the blessed land again this time...

At this moment, the voice of a humble and polite young man suddenly came.

"Brother! You're here so early!"

"Ah, Lei Qi!"

Cai Shuang responded subconsciously, only to see Lei Qi smiling as always.

But Cai Shuang couldn't help but frown.

We had already talked so much yesterday, why is he still like this...

Cai Shuang couldn't help but ask tentatively:
"Um...Lei Qi, the teacher spoke a little harshly yesterday, but it was also for your own good. Don't take it to heart."

Lei Qi nodded upon hearing this, still showing no signs of abnormality:
"Well, I understand. My recent performance is really not good, and I need to be criticized and reflect on it!"

Seeing that Lei Qi was speaking respectfully, Cai Shuang continued to ask directly:
"So... this time in the Tongge Cup, will you use 'Flow'?"

However, Lei Qi was slightly startled, and smiled helplessly again:
"Brother...I, I really said everything I should have said yesterday!

"Maybe I haven't adjusted yet...but I really can't use the 'flow' right now."

Why is he still angry?

Cai Shuang couldn't help but frown:
"Lei Qi, in some individual competitions, it's your own business what you want to do. Even in the club competitions, it's fine if you cheat us, but are you going to do the same in the Nongshim Cup? Are you going to do that for such a small matter?!
"Didn't you hear what the teacher said yesterday? The Chess Association understands your ups and downs, but if your attitude is not right, you will really be replaced!"

Having said this, Lei Qi could no longer maintain his smile, and after a long while he slowly said:

"...Brother, I really didn't mean it. I... really can't use it anymore."

"Hey……"

Cai Shuang couldn't help but shook his head.

He really didn't know why his junior brother, who had always been obedient and sensible, was so unreasonable this time.

...

...

"...No, you're thinking too lightly, aren't you?!

"That's the top title in the country! It's even more important than a world champion. How can we just let it go? It's normal for Xiao Lei's condition to be affected!"

At the same time, in Qiantang City, Tianyuan Center Building.

When the famous person of the time Tian Yuan heard some remarks made by the current national players regarding Lei Qi's recent poor form, he could not help but refute them.

"Eh... is it that exaggerated?
"I feel that even if I lose the title, it's just a small matter..." Xiong Siyi, who just defended the title of "National Player", still said that he couldn't fully understand it.

um, yes.

In the two national players' matches on the 10th and 12th, Xiong Siyi won two games in a row very cleanly, which made the chess master of the time return to his home in Dongjiang and shut himself up. At the same time, it also added another proof of Sun Yi's "strength and weakness identification device" attribute.

However, Xiong Siyi, who successfully defended his title as a national player, did not go home to rest like Sun Yi. Instead, he came to Qiantang City to stay for two days. After that, he planned to go directly to Gezhou to participate in the "Tongge Cup" which would officially start the day after tomorrow morning.

Although he had to take the high-speed train to Gezhou early tomorrow morning, Xiong Siyi still enthusiastically asked Tianyuan celebrities to take him to Tianyuan Center Building today.

So the two of them were waiting and chatting beside the competition venue on the 16th floor of the building.

As they chatted, they came to talk about Lei Qi's recent extremely bad condition.

"...You are an exception! Moreover, the title of [National Player], which has only a history of three years, is completely incomparable to the symbol of [Go Saint], the best player in the country..."

Looking at the silly and happy guy in front of him, Ni Jue could only sigh.

"You have to know that the title of [Chess Saint] is coveted by all top chess players in China, no matter in terms of the prize money or the influence it has on their status! Even Dai Gong, who has never paid much attention to domestic individual competitions, put in his best efforts in the Chess Saint Competition.

"I'm just used to it, and I really can't argue. But if Lin Ruixin proposed to exchange his [Chess Saint] for my [Celebrity] [Tianyuan] for two, I would agree without blinking an eye!
"So, with so many people watching, it's extremely difficult to get the title of [Chess Saint], let alone the title itself!

"Even someone as strong as Vice Chairman Lu only got it once in 09. So far, the only person who has had two opportunities to challenge is Lao Lei, a th dan. In the end, he was defeated - and - consecutively, and he didn't even have a chance to play the deciding game!

"When Lao Lei Jiudan lost the first chess saint tournament, he was very depressed. His wife was about to give birth in a little over a month, and he often stayed in his room in a daze and became autistic. His wife is still upset about this matter!

"It's such an important title. Xiao Lei was already leading 2-1 and was about to get it. But he failed in this state... I guess you, Xiao Xiong, are the only one who can come out of this immediately!"

"That's it..."

At this point, the world's national players finally seem to understand:

“But it’s a pity, who would have thought that Lin Ruixin had such a powerful flying knife hidden in his hand!
"It dragged on until the final game. Xiao Lei was probably too nervous because he was young... He really didn't play that game very well."

Hearing what Xiong Siyi said, Tian Yuan, a famous figure who knew the inside story, felt helpless.

He knew that although the "Flying Shoulder Charge" did cause Lei Qi to lose a match point, judging from his contact with Lei Qi after the game, the boy's mentality was not affected at all.

Especially after he told the other party that Lin Ruixin must have only this top-level flying knife!

But what happened next was completely out of everyone's control...

It has been more than a month since the incident. It seems that all the troubles have been settled, and Lei Qi's performance in the competition is the same as before.

During the first round of the national team competition that day, Lei Qi, who already knew that Ni Jue was an insider of the whole thing, still behaved very normally. He was also very polite in response to Ni Jue's apology. He only said that it was entirely due to his own lack of preparation and had no intention of blaming anyone.

But external performance can be disguised, but grades and levels cannot deceive people.

Ni Jue reviewed the two games that Lei Qi played in the Chinese Go League as soon as possible. As a master of his time, he immediately realized that the young man's condition might not have adjusted yet!

So in the first round of the national championship, Ni Jue took two imperceptible steps to slow down his movements according to the situation, hoping to help the young man regain some confidence through a victory.

But it is obvious that Ni Jue's wish was not fulfilled.

In the top 16 of the National Masters Tournament, Lei Qi still performed poorly. This made Ni Jue more certain that the impact of the fifth game of the Chess Saint Tournament on Lei Qi might not have been eliminated!
After realizing this, Ni Jue couldn't help but feel a little worried - worried about his only junior sister!
You know, Rui Zhao was also very concerned about the last game of the Chess Saint Tournament, so there was a scene where the new first-dan player directly challenged Lin Ruixin when he was instructing the chess player.

But what if Lei Qi hasn't gotten over it yet? If the two of them run into each other and something happens, who knows how much Rui Zhao will be affected.

Well……

...When I meet my junior sister later, I should ask her to be more careful in the future and try not to provoke Lei Qi.

The famous Tian Yuan decided secretly.

At this moment, Xiong Siyi suddenly cheered, pulling Ni Jue back from his thoughts.

"Ah! Ni Jue, look! Rui Zhao and the others are here!"

At the entrance of the venue, a group of people filed in - they were the leader and three members of the Dongjiang women's team!
Yes, the reason why Xiong Siyi was so excited to ask Ni Jue to bring him to Tianyuan Center Building today was because the eleventh round of Women's Go League, in which Dongjiang team would challenge Zhejiang-Hangzhou team away, would be held here.

The national players of the time have long wanted to get to know the second player of the Dongjiang team, who is known as the "strongest new first-dan in history."
