Chapter 281 You Can't Compare to Her

"Sorry! Rui Zhao Erduan is no longer accepting interviews today!
"Please forgive me, friends from the media! Please make way..."

"Red bean paste Smith..."

Just as Aoi Natsukawa was speechless in the combat meeting room of the Japanese team, outside the chess game room of Tsubaki Hotel, Rui Zhao, who had just finished the game, was surrounded by a swarm of Japanese media.

Actually, after Rui Zhao finished his game yesterday, there were already quite a few media coming to interview him, but overall everyone still followed the on-site order. Rui Zhao left directly after accepting the official interview, and the media had no choice.

However, today's game, on the one hand, is a match between Rui Zhao and Japan's future star, which in itself attracts more attention.

On the other hand, the "live broadcast accident" that broke out during the middle of the game caused heated discussions on major forums and social media almost immediately after it happened.

How could the media, who had smelled the scent, miss such an opportunity? They all rushed over as soon as possible, waiting for the end of the game to interview the parties involved.

Therefore, today Queen Zhaotian couldn't break out of the media siege for a while, even Lu Wenjie was surrounded!

As for the country's rising star in Go losing the game...

Please!

Compared to the gimmick, what is this?

On the contrary, only if Rui Zhao 2nd Dan wins will there be more contrast and more newsworthiness!
...

Just as a large group of media reporters were surrounding Rui Zhao and Lu Wenjie and arguing, Lei Qi, who was passing by on his way to the game room, saw this scene with a complicated expression:
How to use multimedia...?

When I won the Samsung Cup in South Korea earlier this year, there wasn’t so much media coverage…

The boy was a little confused for a moment, but suddenly he heard the girl's voice from the crowd:

"...Um! Please make way for me!

"Leiqi 9th Dan's match is about to start! I still have to go live...please let me out!"

Lei Qi was stunned when he heard this, but then he cleared his mind and strode towards the game room with a determined look in his eyes.

Yes...what are you hesitating about!
That guy will watch my chess in the afternoon!

Let’s not talk about the big win first…

At least we can't lose!
...

...

"You're finally here... a little slow, Lei Qi Jiudan."

At 12:55 p.m., Xu Xiangheng looked at his opponent who had finally taken a seat and smiled playfully in his broken Chinese.

In addition to participating in the Go league in his own country, he also served as a foreign aid for the Tiangang team in the Chinese Men's Go League for several years, so he can speak some simple Chinese.

"It's not too late, is it?"

Lei Qi answered seriously, then closed his eyes slightly, preparing to adjust himself and enter combat mode.

This has always been his habit before the game, so that he can enter the "flow" in the shortest possible time after the game starts.

Although he can no longer use the "flow state", he has retained this habit.

However, Xu Xiangheng did not seem to have any intention of letting his opponent get into his own pace.

He continued to pretend to be slightly mocking, winked at Lei Qi and said:

"What? Did you just go to rescue your sweetheart?

"I just saw that she was surrounded by those Japanese media and she was in such a miserable state! Hahahaha..."

Hearing this, Lei Qi, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"…What did you just say?"

You took the bait!

Xu Xiangheng secretly said "good".

Actually...Xu Jiuduan doesn't really like to use tricks.

However, Xu Xiangheng has some grudges against the youngest world champion in the world today.

Because in this year's San Shuang Cup final, Xiao Lei defeated Xu Xiangheng 2-0, blocking the opponent's second world championship while also winning the first world championship of his career.

Before the game, facing the 17-year-old Lei Qi, who made it all the way to the finals after reaching the top 16 of a world championship for the first time in his career, all the South Korean media predicted that the battle-hardened Xu Xiangheng would easily defeat his opponent and win the championship for the host country.

At that time, Xu Xiangheng was also full of confidence, thinking that the opponent was just a bunch of cucumbers, wouldn't it be easy for him to defeat them? He even made some harsh remarks before the game!
But the result...

……Um.

After the defeat in the Sanshuang Cup, Xu Xiangheng did some deep self-reflection. After an in-depth review of the two finals, he had to admit that Lei Qi was indeed a formidable opponent.

After that, Lei Qi defeated a group of domestic giants and won the right to challenge the title of [Chess Saint]. In the first three games of the Chess Saint Tournament, his performance was almost as good as that of the world's best player, which further confirmed Xu Xiangheng's judgment. Therefore, although Lei Qi was not in good condition recently, Xu Xiangheng, who was sent by the team as the second person to stop the "future No. 1", naturally did not dare to be careless. Instead, he made full preparations - even including tricks outside the game.

Although the inside story of the Chess Saint Tournament was completely concealed by the Chess Association, many people in the circle speculated that Lei Qi was influenced by the tricks of Chess Saint Lin. Xu Xiangheng also thought it was possible.

Therefore, in line with the principle of doing everything possible, Xu Xiangheng also made corresponding preparations. As for the materials...

Of course, it is a certain "scandal" that has been circulating widely in the Chinese professional circle recently.

Now, seeing Lei Qi's obviously angry look, Xu Xiangheng suddenly felt:

It seems that some things are not groundless!
Without any hesitation, he continued:

"I say...your sweetheart, Rui Zhao!

"I see she's surrounded by the media outside, isn't she?"

"Sweetheart?" Lei Qi's expression became more gloomy: "Who regards her as a sweetheart?"

"Hey, what are you hiding?"

Xu Xiangheng laughed again:
"Don't you all know about this in the Chinese professional circle? You've been so unstable recently because you were rejected by Rui Zhao. Don't act like I don't know!
"I also advise you: this girl is so beautiful and plays chess so well, you really can't compare with her, so you should put your mind back on playing chess!
"Look at you, you can't even beat Chu Jun! I, who lost to you in the final, am also suffering from your reputation!"

After listening to such a long speech, Lei Qi only asked three cold questions:

"Not as good as?"

He was anxious! He was anxious!

Xu Xiangheng was secretly delighted, realizing that he had disturbed Lei Qi's mentality, but he still had a playful smile on his face:

"Isn't it?

"Look at the media outside blocking her, aren't there more people than when you won the championship?
"In my opinion, in the professional circle, only our Young Master Liu is qualified to pursue her. As for you... there is still a big gap between you and her!"

After hearing this, Lei Qi's eyes were as cold as ice, but he did not dwell on this topic any further.

Instead, the boy made a "please" gesture and said in a cold voice:

“It’s almost time, Xu Jiudan.

"Or... let's guess first?
"I can't wait any longer."

...

...

"Ah... hello everyone! I'm Xiao Zhao!"

While the two chess players in the game room were guessing who would go first, a naive girl, with the help of the Japanese Chess Institute and hotel staff, finally got rid of the media's pursuit and came to her loyal temporary live broadcast station.

“Sorry for being late! I was blocked by reporters for a long time!

“I really don’t understand why these reporters insist on interviewing me!

"I'm just an ordinary chess player, nothing special!"

"…Um, well, Xiao Zhao, let's start explaining the game as soon as possible! It's already time!"

Hearing the girl's small complaint, Ai Jianan at the side glanced at the question marks floating across the screen and quickly gave a reminder.

"Ahh, okay!"

Empress Zhaotian responded, and then began to explain the chess game quite skillfully:

"Our guest speaker this afternoon is still our Sister Xuefei... It seems that Vice Chairman Lu has been invited away by the people from the Dongying Chess Academy again!"

"Well, I hope Vice Chairman Lu can come back with all the parts intact..."

Wen Xuefei, who was sitting next to him, responded with a wry smile as a greeting.

After introducing the guests, Rui Zhao couldn't wait to start explaining the chess game.

"Okay, the game has begun! Lei Qi, the ninth dan, guessed that black pieces should go first.

"Black's first move was at the upper right star position, and White's corresponding move was at the lower left star position. Then... Lei Qi, the ninth dan, actually directly selected the lower left three-three? It can be seen that Lei Qi, the ninth dan, seems to be very active in this game!
"White pieces block down, black pieces extend up, white pieces follow up, black pieces fly small. This is a simple and fixed pattern.

"In the next move, White occupied the star position in the upper left, and Black had a small eye in the lower right. In the 10th move, White responded with a three-three in the upper right.

"The black piece blocked on the right, the white piece extended on the left, and when the black piece flew down, Xu Xiangheng, the 9th dan, made a support move - this was an invitation from 'Ni Dao'!
"Then will Lei Qi Jiu Duan...Ah! Lei Qi Jiu Duan accepted the challenge without any hesitation!

"Black's 15th move is a win, and both sides are entering the Ni Dao variation!"

I feel a little feverish after watching the movie, but I still have to submit the manuscript today... I have worked very hard!

By the way, I’d like to complain: What’s going on with Ohkouchi Ichiro again? This movie version is not good!
