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

Chapter 259 Another way of saying it
9pm on September 16th, Xidu City.

In a small room of Yanhui Shengtang International Hotel, the players of Xidu team who had just finished the fourth round of Weiqi League were sitting together, and their moods were somewhat low.

As for the reason, it couldn't be more obvious.

In this round of match against Dajing team, Xidu team lost at home.

Although the team's main player Zhu Yuanjun easily defeated Liang Sizhen, 7th dan, in the main player table, in the other three table matches, Peng Wendong, 8th dan, lost to Dajing team's South Korean foreign aid Li Tingyan, 9th dan, and Xue Zhenju, 8th dan, lost to Cai Shuang, 9th dan, on the third table.

Finally, in the four-table rapid chess match that the Xidu team had high hopes for, "Smiling Tiger" Bian Lele, despite having an early advantage, was repeatedly dragged into a melee by Lei Qi. He made a mistake in the last move, suffered a huge loss of points, and had no choice but to admit defeat.

The Xidu team also lost to the Dajing team with a total score of 1 to 3, giving the opponent their first win of the season.

"...Hey, everyone, don't be so serious!"

Zhu Yuanjun, a 25-year-old 9th-dan chess player nicknamed "Round Pig", put on a cute smile and tried to liven up the team atmosphere.

The reason why he is nicknamed "Round Pig" is, firstly, because his name sounds the same as it, secondly, because he had a very sturdy figure when he was a teenager (he has lost weight now), and thirdly, because his chess style is smooth and restrained, and he likes to control the overall atmosphere steadily, just like his temper.

However, although Zhu Yuanjun has a good temper, he really can't like the nickname "Round Pig", so people in the circle basically just call him that behind his back...

Well, but a certain monkey often says something weird during an interview, and then is questioned by Zhu Yuanjun for a while, and it's his words again.

"Well, Xiao Zhu, this one is mine!"

As the eldest brother of the team, Bian Lele still looks relaxed.

It’s not that he doesn’t take it seriously, but the thirty-year-old smiling tiger always has the habit of smiling.

If you make him feel bitter and resentful, that won't happen.

"The original strategy before the game was to protect your main chessboard and my fast chessboard, so I was put on the fourth chessboard with white pieces. If I lose, I will be the first to lose."

"Uh, Brother Lele, you've made it hard for me to cook!"

Zhu Yuanjun smiled amiably and said:
“Everyone tried their best and it was a great performance!
"However, our strategy of focusing on the second and fourth platforms was too obvious, and was directly read out by the Dajing team.

“When I saw the matchup was announced, Xiao Lei’s mouth corners slightly raised, and it was obvious that he had guessed it in advance.

"I'm a queuer, and someone has tricked me. Of course, it's my fault."

"Hey, it's a good thing they thought of strategically giving up the main platform!"

Twenty-seven-year-old Xue Zhenju, who was standing nearby, sighed.

"It says one point on the main stage, but under the rule of 'tie-split main general wins' it's equivalent to two points!"

“I understand that, right?”

Zhu Yuanjun sighed slightly:
"After all, Lao Li is old, Lao Cai's upper limit is not high, and Xiao Lei's condition has been bad recently. The latest rating points released a few days ago have already slipped to seventh. It is indeed a more appropriate method for him to avoid me on the main general platform.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Lele! How did Xiaolei play today? Is he back to form?"

"what?"

Bian Lele was stunned for a moment, then he recalled.

"If you ask me, I don't think I've...

"Today, I was actually in a slight advantage, but at the end, this guy got really aggressive and tried his best everywhere. I lost my mind in the last seconds and that's why I lost.

"But if you want to say that... I feel like this kid seems to be particularly eager to win today. Unlike some of the chess games he played a few days ago, he lost like a euthanasia and didn't even struggle."

Zhu Yuanjun nodded: "I see... I'll go back and take a look at his chess game."

Bian Lele asked curiously: "Well, what do you think is wrong?"

All the Yuans smiled:
"So be it!

"I always feel that... for someone who dares to use such a bold tactic, his mentality should not be too bad right now, right? So I want to ask him about his performance during the game."

But at this time, the 21-year-old Peng Wendong asked:
"Ah? Is Lei Qi the one standing in line for the Dajing team? Isn't he the youngest in their team?"

"You didn't know?! It's been like this since the second half of last season!"

Bian Lele was a little surprised when he heard this:
"Hey, Dongzi, stop messing around! You don't even know the detailed information about your opponent in the next Weiqi League?
"Uh..." Peng Wendong suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, brother Lele, Wendong doesn't care about the stage arrangement, so there's no need for him to know!"

Zhu Yuanjun came out to smooth things over, and then took the opportunity to explain the situation to Peng Wendong:

"Wen Dong, you have to know that Chairman Shang really trains Xiao Lei as a future leader - not just in terms of chess skills, but in all aspects.

"Originally, Cai Shuang was in charge of communicating with the coach about the schedule for the Dajing team. Last year, Chairman Shang saw that the time was right and asked Cai Shuang to take the initiative to push Lei Qi to the front.

"Of course, this little guy Xiao Lei is also doing well. He has always given people a sense of maturity beyond his years. Since he came to the stage, he has tricked people twice last year and successfully lifted the Dajing team to the upper half. "This year, his condition has been obviously not good since the start of the game. It seems that he has no effect, which makes us a little too arrogant..."

"Ah, it's true that even a hero can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman!"

The smiling tiger who always loves to watch the fun raised his eyebrows and said:

“I guess Chairman Shang also regrets it.

"I thought I had finally found a beautiful celebrity contestant who could attract traffic, but in the end, I didn't attract much traffic, and instead made my most valued student distracted and lose all her form."

All the Yuans hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Hey, Brother Lele, you'd better not talk about this. Didn't Vice Chairman Lu send a message after the first round of the rapid chess game that day, telling us not to spread rumors?"

"Yes Yes--"

Bian Lele said in a long tone.

“But… being beautiful really has many benefits!
"As a new beginner, he can actually go straight to the ring match! Is this a record?"

“Well… there’s precedent.

"In 2005, before the selection rules for the women's tournament were improved, there was a situation like this in the women's tournament. Logically, you should know better than me!"

Zhu Yuanjun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Ah... I'm somewhat impressed if you put it that way!"

Smiling Tiger thought for a moment and nodded:
"Then... this is the second time a new first-dan has been directly selected to participate in the tournament that year!"

"New first dan...?"

Zhu Yuanjun pursed his lips and said in consideration.

"That's what I mean...

"However, the specific wording...may need to be changed."

...

...

"Well...I give up."

October 9, Mida Plaza Hotel, Zhenze City, Suzhou Province.

The first round of the 2023 Changqi Cup qualifiers will be held here.

In a highly anticipated focus match, Rui Zhao, playing with black, defeated 21-year-old Yu Bingsha, 1st dan, in the middle game and advanced to the next round of preliminaries.

"Thanks for the advice."

Rui Zhao simply returned the greeting and said:

"W-Want to review it?"

"Ah! No need, the difference in strength level is too great."

The junior student sitting opposite smiled and shook his head, then said:

"Um... congratulations to you too! Rui Zhao 2nd Dan!
"I saw in the Chinese chess news yesterday that if you win today's game, it will be the fastest in history!

"Congratulations, you have set a new record."

"Ah, thank you!"

The girl, who had already learned the situation from Ai Jianan two days ago, expressed her gratitude simply and appropriately.

But... is it already the second part so soon?

Rui Zhao muttered to himself.

Didn’t Grandma Wu say earlier that the progression to the second stage would be slower?

But I don't feel anything at all...

The girl felt a little unreal about this "record" that she had never cared about before.

Alas, what I had planned to write in one chapter has now become two chapters...

[Stacking armor]

In reality, the fastest time to reach level 60 is about days, which is shorter than Xiao Zhao in the novel. But that was in the national individual competition where the competition was not very fierce. In the novel, I think this competition is a bit useless and there is no such setting at all. So just treat this record as a setting in the novel, don't compare it with reality.
