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

"Then... Mr. Wu, I'd like to trouble you to return to Channel 2 for this episode!"

On the same day, at 106: noon, in the Multi-Function Hall of Zhujin Guest House.

The focus battle between Pohu team and Dongjiang team in the first round of this Women's Weiqi League will be held here.

Before the game, captain Zou Yang came to Wu Yueyun and gave him some final advice.

"Well, it's okay."

The old lady smiled and replied:

“To be honest, although I am old, I always hope to play against stronger opponents.

"I would love to be able to get off the second stage again."

After the fan-air battle, since the completely unexpected news of Rui Zhao's departure was placed in front of the Dongjiang women's team, the team manager Shao Hui immediately began to strengthen the lineup.

But...last offseason, he racked his brains to finally get Xu Nanying, so it would be difficult to get a better result this time.

Finally, after much deliberation, it seemed that Xiao Nanying, who had worked with them before, was the best choice. The two sides rekindled their relationship, and the main lineup of the Dongjiang team returned to the way it was at the beginning of last season.

But... Fortunately, after more than half a year, Xiao Nanying's strength has reached a new level. Not only has he been promoted to the third dan in South Korea, but his overall strength is not far behind that of Mr. Wu. He is already an absolute top player in the third stage, which can be said to be a great reinforcement.

Taking into account that the reinforcement of the three machines of the old rival Su Hu was not smooth, Xiao Mian Yang still has some expectations for defending the title again.

"Well, I'll leave it to you then!"

...

After the table was arranged, the three players of the Dongjiang team prepared to go on stage.

Old Wu glanced at Xu Nanying next to him and saw that she didn't look tired at all even though she had just traveled all the way from South Korea yesterday. Instead, she looked full of fighting spirit. He asked in South Korean:
"Nanying...you seem eager to try today!"

"Ah? Ah..."

Xu Nanying was obviously a little surprised when Wu Yueyun suddenly asked her before the game, but she still nodded vigorously:
“It’s a must!

"To be honest, although my substitution was the key reason for the team's championship last season, which is irrefutable. But as the one who was substituted, I still have some self-esteem!
"Although my current strength is still far behind Rui Zhao 6th Dan, facing her team, I naturally hope to show my strength and work hard to help the team win the championship!"

This kid wasn't that motivated last season...

It seems... that he was really stimulated!

The old lady nodded slightly, encouraged the rookie with a few words, and then walked towards her own chess table.

At this time, the petite Japanese second-dan chess player, Rei Uesaka, was already sitting opposite, a little stiffly.

In fact, for the Pohu team, although Uesaka Rei is nominally the second player, the Pohu team had already agreed with Uesaka Rei before the signing that the specific number of players may change depending on the situation.

Lu Shijia's 2016th dan was the old th dan before the reform of the Chinese Go ranking in . The rank was very valuable and his strength was basically equivalent to that of male players of the same rank at that time.

Therefore, although she is older now, she is still at the level of a male weak 4th dan. Among the players on the second board, she is also considered to be above average, but it seems a bit unrealistic to want to compete with the Suhu team and the Dongjiang team for the championship, so Gong Quanzhen has been asking for reinforcements.

As for Kouesaka's strength... it's more like a divine and demonic duality.

When she performed well, she had defeated many high-ranking male chess players from Japan, but when she performed poorly, she was just like an ordinary female rookie chess player of the second or third dan level, with a huge difference between her upper and lower limits.

Although after the fan-air battle, Uesaka Rei's continued hard training seems to have improved her stability, the Pohu team still plans to let Lu Shijia, whose upper and lower limits are not much different, go to the second table when the opponent's second table is not too strong, so as to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

In the first match against the Dongjiang women's team, facing the legendary Wu Yueyun, the Pohu team naturally pulled Xiao Shangsaka to the second table to try to give it a try.

Looking at the slightly nervous Japanese girl in front of him, Mr. Wu couldn't help but smile and greeted her kindly in Japanese.

"It's our first time meeting, Rei-chan!
"I heard that everyone in Japan calls you that, so it's okay for me to call you that, right?"

"You, you can speak Japanese?"

Hearing that the other party spoke fluent Japanese, Uesaka Rei couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After confirming that she would come to China to play in the Women's Go League, the talented Japanese girl has been catching up on her Chinese language skills during this period.

But after all, the time was too short, and I could only master the most basic daily expressions. Most of the time, I had to rely on the assistant I hired at home to translate.

So after coming to China, she tried her best to avoid too much direct communication with others to avoid embarrassment.

Little did she know that her opponent in the first match would greet her in Japanese!
"Of course not!"

Wu Yueyun smiled and said:
"In order to learn how to play chess, I stayed in Japan for a long time! I also studied under a master in Japan!"

"Ah! Yes, yes!"

The young Uesaka Rei finally reacted and quickly apologized with a red face:

"Wu, Wu Jiudan! Sorry!
"My father told me about your deeds. You have always been my role model. I admire you very much!
"It's just that this is my first time in China to play in the league, and also my first time meeting you, so I'm a little too nervous!"

"Worship..."

Wu Yueyun repeated it briefly, then asked with a smile:
"Since you admire me so much, why didn't you contact our Dongjiang team first, but went to Pohu instead?

"To be honest, for a Japanese girl like you, Dongjiang is a much more suitable place, right? We have been looking for a strong chess player for some time!"

"Uh..." Xiao Shangsaka looked even more embarrassed. But she didn't answer for a long time, as if she didn't want to reveal the real reason why she chose the Poyang Lake team.

However, Wu Yueyun did not expose the other party in the end, and directly continued:

"Well! But no matter what your reason is, I am always very pleased to see that you are willing to come to China to seek more training and breakthroughs.

“You are still so young, but the Japanese Chess Academy has already used you as a publicity highlight. I actually think this is a bit inappropriate.

"But now it seems that you are more responsible and motivated than I thought. It seems that I was worrying too much."

"Ah, thank you! Wu Jiudan!"

Hearing the other party's praise, Uesaka Rei smiled embarrassedly, and it seemed that the tension just now was relieved a lot, which also made Wu Yueyun more looking forward to the upcoming game.

what……

Whether it's Li Jiang, our team's Xiao Nanying, or even Man Jing from the Suhu team...

The next generation of female chess players from various countries have shown such determination and fighting spirit in the past year...

A year ago, I couldn’t even imagine this!
Wu Yueyun glanced at Uesaka Rei in front of him, then glanced at Xu Nanying on his right, and for a moment he felt quite emotional.

And finally, she set her gaze on the bright and beautiful girl who looked like a jade sculpture in front of her on the left. For a moment, her eyes flashed with endless emotions.

At this moment, the referee's voice came:

“Okay, it’s about time.

"The first round of the 2024 Chinese Women's Go League A, between Pohu Jinlai Environmental Protection and Dongjiang Xingzhi Xiaomu, begins now!
"Please guess first!"

...

...

"Hello, all the Queen's die-hard fans! This is your old friend Zeng Guangwen...

"After a month, I finally met you all again!

"Today is the opening match of the Women's Weiqi League of Tianhou. Let us look forward to the opening match of the new season of Tianhou..."

At the same time, Qiantang City, China.

After a month since the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers, Rui Zhao finally had another match today. As a loyal servant of the Queen of Heaven, Zeng Guangwen would not be late, let alone absent.

However, as soon as Zeng Guangwen, who was forcing himself to start the broadcast, appeared on the screen, a lot of question marks instantly floated across the live broadcast room:

[Hmm? Who are you, host? Where is Zeng Pang? ]

[No! Fatty Zeng, you haven't been on air for a month, how come you've lost so much weight! I can hardly recognize you! ]

[Lao Zeng, I see your forehead is dark and your cheeks are sunken, it seems like a sign of death! ]

[Hmm? Fatty Zeng is trying to find a girlfriend, so he lost weight?]

[It may also be that he has found a girlfriend, but he was squeezed dry...]

[It's bad! Could it be that Fatty Zeng is tired of being Xiao Zhao's dog?! ]

[No wonder I haven’t been broadcasting my sparring with Xiao Zhao recently! The dog under the seat is disqualified! ]

[Ah? Really?!]

[Zeng Fatty, if you can't hold on any longer, just let out a squeak! I'm willing to share the burden of being Xiao Zhao's dog with you!!!]

Zeng Guangwen glanced at the comments and felt so bitter that he couldn't say anything.

In the past month, he has indeed not done any live broadcasts for two specific reasons:

Well...there's nothing to broadcast.

There have been no matches of Rui Zhao to broadcast recently, and he said that it would take a month to get back into shape, so Rui Zhao didn't come to him for live practice during this period.

And secondly, and most importantly…

He is now seizing every minute and every second to "recover"! How can he have time to live broadcast!
A month ago, after being ruthlessly crushed by Rui Zhao in the third round of the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers, in order to avoid being "used and thrown away" by Queen Zhao, Zeng Qidan solemnly promised his master that he would regain his form within a month and become a qualified sandbag again.

Although Rui Zhao believed this at the time, Fatty Zeng knew that he had been practicing with the Queen for a long time recently and his condition couldn't be better. The reason he couldn't beat Rui Zhao was simply because he was a wimp!

But it is absolutely impossible to let the dog under the Queen, who has already tasted the sweetness, accept the fate of being abandoned!
So in the past month, Zeng Guangwen can be said to have put in his best effort. On the one hand, he worked hard to improve his chess skills, and on the other hand, he conducted in-depth research on the nearly 2,000-page "Zhao Tianhou Countermeasures Plan" that had leaked from Japan. He tried his best to dig out the potential weaknesses of his master and was determined to keep his position as the dog!
But Go has always been about accumulation. It is not easy to keep up with Rui Zhao who is still making continuous progress in just one month!

In desperation, seeing that even if he used up all his entertainment and relaxation time it was still not enough, Fatty Zeng started to cut back on his meal and rest time. As a result, he lost nearly 20 kilograms in just one month, so much so that many viewers could no longer recognize him!
But Zeng Qiduan couldn't tell the secret to outsiders, so he had to keep it a secret and get to the point as soon as possible:
"Hey, all you die-hard fans of the Queen, please stop making fun of me. I am just working hard for the continued progress of the Queen until my death!
“I won’t go into details… I’ll tell you guys about it in detail once this period of time is over!

"Hey hey hey! Dear die-hard fans of the Queen, please don't give me tips! I really won't tell you now! I won't even give you more money!

"Alright! It's time to start the game! Let's watch the Queen's match first!
"Both sides have completed the guessing process. In this game, the Queen plays black and Little Sheep plays white.

"Both sides start with Star Xiaomu versus Erlianxing..."
