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

Chapter 232 New First Stage Tournament
"Chess Master Lin?!
"Why is he here?"

August 8, 24: p.m.

Dajing City, Huaxia Chess Academy.

The opening ceremony of the 2023 "Yuan Cup" new first-stage competition is being held here in a not-so-grand manner.

Originally, the girl had never been interested in opening and closing ceremonies. But when she saw the first person in the country walk up to the stage to give a speech, she was still a little surprised.

Cheng Yuyang, who was standing by, looked puzzled when he saw the girl's reaction.

"Uh... Rui Zhao, why are you so surprised?

"Lin Ruixin will attend the opening and closing ceremonies of the new first-level tournament and will give speeches and award prizes. This has already been reported by the media in the industry!"

"Y-really?"

Hanhan was a little shocked for a moment.

But after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that she seemed to have not read anything related except the schedule.

All the time is spent on practicing chess!

Gan Yuan was sitting next to the two of them. Seeing Rui Zhao's expression, he knew that she had no idea of ​​the situation, so he immediately joked:

"Hey, Sister Rui Zhao! You came to participate in the competition this time. You didn't just look at the competition rules and prize settings and come here!"

"what?"

Rui Zhao blinked and asked subconsciously:
"How much is the prize money for this competition?"

Because she didn't even look at the bonus setting...

This time, Gan Yuan was not the only one who opened his eyes wide.

Cheng Yuyang said in surprise:

"No... Rui Zhao, you came here without even looking at the bonus?!"

"Uh... Well, I've been practicing chess recently..."

Rui Zhao looked embarrassed for a moment.

In fact, if she was short of money, she would still care about the bonus to some extent - for example, during the Urban Cup, the girl who suddenly learned that she was heavily in debt took the initiative to ask Yu Qingguang.

But once he is not short of money, this idiot will become arrogant!

Take the recent period for example, Rui Zhao has not yet spent all the remaining 16,000 yuan in prize money from the previous City Cup.

After becoming a professional, Rui Chudan made it to the quarterfinals of the Wu Yue Cup and received a prize of 20,000 yuan. Recently, she won three games in a row in the Women's Go League and earned another 10,000 yuan.

Considering that since signing with the Dongjiang Women's Team, most of the food, accommodation and transportation can be provided by the team, Rui Zhao has not had to spend any money at all.

This doesn’t even take into account “Queen Zhaotian” and her live streaming business!
So, when it comes to money, the girl who has no material desires has basically achieved a beggar-level level of financial freedom, and has become so willful that she doesn't care how much the bonus is.

For her, what is more important is the competition itself as a training opportunity - no matter how much money is offered, doesn't she have to participate?

For example, the national team preliminaries are a pure loss!

But this level of willfulness is enough to shock my friends for a hundred years...

Cheng Yuyang was stunned for a long time before he answered helplessly:
"The champion will receive RMB 6, the runner-up will receive RMB 2, and if a female player enters the top eight, each will receive an additional RMB 1.

"As for the game fee, each game is 500 yuan, which is better than nothing."

Hmm, 60,000 yuan...

Only half of the City Cup...

The girl made a comparison secretly.

At the same time, I understood more and more why Bai Yinhua wanted to directly participate in the City Cup, an amateur competition, to make money.

Indeed, the overall prize money for most non-top professional competitions is not that high. Even for the middle-level professionals, it is only about the level of an ordinary white-collar worker in a metropolitan city.

But the dedication and effort required in this process is probably much more difficult than being an ordinary white-collar worker.

However, just as Rui Zhao couldn't help but think, she suddenly found herself being cueed:

"...Is that right, Rui Zhao Shoudan?"

……Eh?

When the girl heard her name, she suddenly looked up and saw that the great chess master Lin on the stage was looking at her. Naturally, the other people around her also looked over here following the gaze of the person on the stage.

Only Rui Zhao himself was still bewildered, having no idea what was going on.

Because there were only more than 30 contestants in total, the opening ceremony venue was not very large, and the people on the stage could clearly see the expressions of everyone below the stage.

Seeing Rui Zhao in this state, Lin Ruixin continued to tease:
"It seems... I was too conservative just now.

"Our live broadcast queen now feels that a rookie champion is not enough for her, and she doesn't even take a [chess master] like me seriously!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter from all around.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Most of the new first-dan players of the same class have no ill will towards Rui Zhao, but they would also be happy to see it happen if they could suppress the popularity of this classmate who is unparalleled among the new chess players.

Although the show had already achieved its intended effect, the great chess master Lin still pursued the first-dan girl who had caused him to avoid a fight in public and sparked controversy:
"Since Queen Zhaotian is busy and has no time to listen to a little chess master like me, I will just repeat it:
"I say, the new first-dans are more arrogant than each other now. Some even dare to say that they will be the Rookie of the Year as soon as they become a dan! Is that right, Rui Zhao first-dan?"

This was repeated again, and there was another round of discussion and laughter around him. Rui Zhao then understood why Lin Ruixin had cue him just now.

But for young girls, there is nothing to be ashamed of or avoid.

The live broadcast queen immediately spoke up to greet him:

"Master Lin, thank you for remembering the words I brought to you.

"Then... please be ready by then! Once I defeat the Rookie King, I will ask for your advice!" As soon as the girl finished saying this, the discussions around her suddenly became noisy.

Lin Ruixin on the stage couldn't help but be stunned.

Originally, he thought that in such a public occasion, it would be good enough for Rui Zhao, a girl who usually looked quite introverted and shy, not to be at a loss for what to do after being teased by his words.

That was why he decisively chose to bully her verbally to vent his anger.

Who would have known that this girl who usually looked silly and naive would actually turn the tables at this moment, and it was obvious that she was going to bring to the surface what she had said to herself in the beginning!

An unhappy look immediately appeared on Lin Ruixin's face.

To be honest, he really wanted to teach the other party a lesson right now so that he would remember it.

But the great chess master Lin still doesn’t dare to respond!
Although we really want to arrange a game with handicap now (this game must be played with handicap, otherwise it would be shameful for the [chess master] to play against the new first dan first), we can set up more time, and Lin Ruixin's competitive state will definitely be better than when the new first dan was instructing the game.

But the problem is, Lin Ruixin himself knows it well—this poor little chess player is now better than when he first got promoted!

Even if the two games in the Wu Yue Cup where she won against Park Moon-mi and made the Ice Queen cry were due to her good performance, the recent three consecutive victories in the Women's Go League, and even the victory over the sixth-dan female chess player Zhong Wan by half a point after a fierce battle, this sample size cannot be simply summarized with the phrase "good performance".

Forget it, forget it. I won’t bother with this little black fan leader.

Anyway, with her level, it’s definitely too much for her to want to win the title of Rookie of the Year. Ni Jue might agree if she had a plate of knives, but Tianyuan Mingren would definitely not accept using these precious flying knives to win the title of Rookie of the Year.

Lin Ruixin consoled himself and continued to put on a mocking expression:

"Hey, Queen Zhaotian, can you please stop staring at me?

"You know, Chu Jun, the last year's Rookie of the Year and the one who will be participating again, just defeated the world champion Lei Qi in the Tongge Cup! Do you really think he's nothing?"

"That game was just because Lei Qi was in bad shape - he is not at that level at all.

"If everyone plays normally, Chu Jun 6th Dan will probably have no chance at all."

The girl answered without hesitation, which made Cheng Yuyang, who was standing beside her, sweat for her.

Hey, hey...if you say that, Chu Jun will definitely be very angry when he sees you later, right?
With your recent condition... I'm afraid you won't be able to beat Chu Jun, right?

"Oh, so you look down on me?

"Okay, then let's talk about it after you win the Rookie of the Year award! I just hope that if you don't win it, I hope you can say 'how sorry' to me instead of just pretending to be dead."

Seeing that he could not gain any advantage through words, and that he was in danger of getting further and further into trouble, Lin Ruixin stopped talking and continued his speech with seemingly full momentum.

The girl in the audience bit her lip and clenched her fists subconsciously.

...

...

This somewhat unexpected opening ceremony ended quickly, and the first round of the new first-dan tournament began next.

This is also the first official professional competition for quite a few new first-dan players this year.

The reason why the opening ceremony and the main competition were delayed until now is that a round of "pre-elimination matches" had actually been held in the morning before the opening ceremony.

A total of 2023 new first-dan players were produced in the 36 Dan Qualifying Tournament. There were actually 34 participants in this new first-dan tournament, which is not a power of 2.

Therefore, before the official competition, the organizing committee needs to hold a round of preliminary elimination matches - that is, draw out four less unlucky guys to go through the next round first, and then eliminate the two more unlucky big unlucky guys.

The official opening ceremony was only held after the "first round" of only two games was finished this morning, in order to save the time and energy of most people.

It was a bit unkind to those two unlucky guys to be eliminated before the opening ceremony.

Not surprisingly, Rui Zhao did not become one of the four unlucky guys.

But for the girl, she felt a little regretful - it would always be good to have one more round of competition.

The girl, who was about to start the competition, didn't know that she would soon give up the idea.

...

...

On the same day, at 3:30 p.m.

Two and a half hours after the first round of the new first-stage tournament began.

Cheng Yuyang, who had just successfully passed the first round, was shocked to see the girl with a gloomy face reviewing the game in the player rest area again.

No, this Rui Zhao...lost? !

No way!
His first round opponent is the 15th place winner in the men's junior group of this year's Dan Tournament. He is not strong at all!

The young man quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Rui Zhao! You lost the first round...?!"

"what?"

The girl was stunned when she heard this, and shook her head:

"No, I won in less than two hours!"

"Oh……"

Cheng Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately started complaining again:
"No...then why are you looking so gloomy? I thought you made a mistake!"

"what?"

The girl was stunned again, and then she said regretfully:
"Ah, this...

"It feels like my opponent is too weak to be of much use to me as a trainer..."
