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

"No... this...

"The Chess Association and Gezhou actually gave Uesaka Rei a wild card spot?!

"Why is that!!!"

At 6:5 pm on June th, in an ordinary residential area in Jinling City, Suzhou Province.

Yang Manjing, who was visiting someone else's house that night, was suddenly a little upset when he saw the message that Yiguo had just posted.

The little witch is quite unhappy recently:
The day before yesterday, I was determined to challenge Zhao Tian again, but ended up being crushed by Rui Zhao.

Liu Yuhong played yesterday, but he failed to win again in the end. Today, the two of them took the high-speed train home together.

We finally agreed to go to an old teammate's house in the evening to visit, chat and relax, but who knew that the wild card issue would cause us so much trouble!
The second station of the Su Hu team immediately started to chatter and was full of grievances:
"If Rui Zhao is given a wild card, I can barely tolerate it! Or if it's Sister Yu Hong or Little Sheep, I'll accept it too.

“But that little crybaby Kamisaka Rei?! I beat her so badly in the third round of the league, and she actually made it to the main tournament of the Tongge Cup?
"I've never even played in a World Championship!"

Liu Yuhong, who had rarely seen his young players making such a fuss recently, could only comfort them:
"Ah, after all, for domestic competitions, if there are two wild cards, it must be one domestic and one foreign...

"Since this domestic card helped Long Bo, the other card must be given to a foreign country..."

Although she was quite dissatisfied with the decision to give the wild card to the Japanese, she also knew that calming the emotions of her own second station was the most important thing.

"But you can't give this to a little crybaby like Uesaka Rei!"

The little witch still pouted:

"What do you mean by 'once in four hundred years'? I don't think it's anything more than that!
"Sister Wang, isn't that right?"

"Um, Jingjing!"

Queen Mulan immediately dissuaded him:
"We have finally come to visit Sister Wang, so please don't cause trouble for her!

"Sister Wang is still pregnant!"

"what……"

Yang Manjing finally reacted and quickly apologized to Wang Haocheng who was sitting next to her:
"Yes, I'm sorry, Sister Wang, I didn't mean it..."

"It's okay! There's no need to be so careful!"

Wang Haocheng, who was wearing loose home clothes, said with a smile:

"It's only been two months. In fact, there is not much difference in every aspect. Don't think of me as so delicate!

“But Jingjing, don’t look down on Uesaka Rei so much.

"I've watched some of her chess moves at home recently. To be honest, there's a reason why Japan attaches so much importance to her..."

"But in the third round of the Weiqi League, I really didn't think she was that good..."

"That's because you're getting stronger, Jingjing!"

Wang Haocheng's words were half smiling and half helpless:

“When Shangban Li and Wu Lao were playing, the victory was half a point, and they fought hard until the end before losing!

“Considering that she’s only 12 or 13 years old, it’s really amazing that she’s doing this!

"It's just that in the past six months, you have been making faster and faster progress, and your progress has become more and more stable, so it seems nothing special!"

"what……"

The little witch opened her mouth and thought for a while, and felt...what Sister Wang said was not entirely wrong!

Now her level has opened up a gap with several other female 6th dan players, and she is firmly in the top four domestic women. Her previous poor stability has also been greatly improved. She is completely unique among the second-tier women's Weiqi players.

"Hmm... maybe it's because I've been practicing chess more vigorously in the past six months...

"After all... I can't catch up with Sister Rui for now, after all, she is more than two years older than me...

"But if I don't work hard, it will be too embarrassing to be suppressed by her when she goes downhill in the future!"

Seeing Yang Manjing muttering the reasons why he thought he had made progress, Wang Haocheng smiled and nodded, adding:

"Well, Jingjing, it's good that you have this idea!

"Now that she's at the Pohu team, we have a spy now! I'll ask her about anything she does and let her know!
"But..."

At this point, Wang Haocheng paused and said quietly:

"Jingjing, you...

"Do you have any plans to play Weijia like Rui Zhao did?"

...

...

"Shinto, when we go back to China, please help look after Rei-chan."

At the same time, in a tavern in Dongdu City, Japan.

Sitting in the cubicle, Aoi Natsukawa took a big sip of beer and then began to instruct his old friend:

“Li-chan is a good kid, but she’s still young and her mood swings are easy to fluctuate.

"After she was defeated by that little witch in the third round of the Chinese Weiqi League, she even called me on video to cry.

"If she really starts crying again this time, you guys help comfort her as soon as possible."

In addition to the female Honinbo herself, there were three other people sitting in the private room. They happened to be the three most powerful chess players in Japan today, Shindo Hiroaki, Ichijo Takuya, and Ueno Torachiro. Based on their recent results, these three were directly selected as seeds by the Japanese Chess Institute and entered the list of the Tongge Cup. They will set off for the Chinese Gezhou tomorrow.

But what was more surprising this time was that Natsukawa Aoi, who had long been at the top of the Japanese women's group, failed to qualify from the women's preliminaries this time.

She unexpectedly lost to Akakura Haruna in the final qualifying round, so she could only give instructions to these grown men in front of her.

"Don't worry, big sister!"

Before Shindo Hiroaki could respond, Takuya Ichijo took the lead and said:

"Just for the friendship that Rei-chan showed me when she saw me lose so miserably and immediately wanted to avenge me, I will definitely take good care of her!"

...The result was another miserable defeat, and he became the little crybaby of Queen Zhaotian.

Shindo Hiroaki, who was present at the meeting, raised his eyebrows and added calmly in his mind.

And...Ichitsu, don't be so self-indulgent!

At the time, Li-chan probably just thought it was cool to say that, and she didn't really think much about you...

However, even though Takuya Ichijo expressed his opinion quickly, Natsukawa Aoi was not very reassured and turned to look at Shindo:
"Lord Bo Guang, is this okay with you?"

"Hello……

"I told you to just call me 'Shinto'..."

Shindo Hiroaki complained a little, but still agreed:
"Of course, Uesaka 2nd Dan is the hope of our entire Dongying Chess Institute.

"Like this time, even though Yamagami lost in the preliminary round, the chess institute still gave this valuable wild card to Uesaka in the end, which shows how much importance they attach to it."

Upon hearing this, Aoi Natsukawa nodded in agreement - the Toei Chess Institute had indeed spared no effort in cultivating Uesaka Rei, a recognized future supernova.

As Hiroaki Shindo just said, although the Tongge Cup is a world championship held in China, the right to select the wild card this time lies in the hands of the Toyo Ki Institute.

The reason was very simple: this wild card was the compensation that Lu Wenjie promised to give to the Japanese Chess Institute after Lei Qi defeated Takuya Ichijo in the Nongshim Cup. It was no exaggeration to say that it was obtained with the blood and tears of the Japanese Chess Saint and the face of the entire Japanese Chess world.

The top management of the chess institute gave this wild card, which came at such a heavy price, to Uesaka Rei without hesitation, rather than to the last of the "Reiwa Three Birds" - Yoshimoto Yamagami. It can be said that the priority has been raised to a rather outrageous level.

"Well, I'll feel relieved if you three agree to it!"

Xia Chuan smiled and said:
“I’m not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this: in the past two years… I’ve started to feel like I’m really getting old.

"When I lost to Yang Manjing in the quarterfinals of the Wu Yue Cup last year, I could still find some excuses, saying that I had just had a tooth pulled and was not in good condition.

"But this year, Rui Zhao won the Fankong match, and lost to Asa-chan in the Women's Meijin title match in April. In the preliminaries of the Tongge Cup a few days ago, I didn't beat Haruna either...

"Maybe... I won't be able to help the chess academy win any good results to save face in the future. But Asa-chan and Haruna's overall level is indeed not very competitive compared to China and South Korea, so I do care more about Rei-chan's growth, and please understand."

At this point, the Japanese female Honinbo smiled helplessly.

The famous general has gray hair and the beauty has aged, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, Shindo Hiroaki took over the conversation seriously and said:
"Xia Chuan, you were able to stop the winning streak of Queen Zhao Tian last year, which helped the chess academy a lot!

"Let's take a break from now on! You women have maintained your dignity for so long, now it's time for us men to take the field!"

These words surprised Xia Chuan Aoi, and he immediately reminded:
“Hey, Master Boguang!

"You are thirty-five this year!"

"So what?"

The usually elegant Shindo Hiroaki rarely showed a positive attitude:
"Shang Chaotian, the chairman of the Chinese Chess Association, was able to win the world championship at the age of 33. I can't say I can win the championship at the age of 35, but it shouldn't be too much for me to enter the finals, right?
"I'm telling you, I've had fewer title fights lately, but I feel like I have more energy to devote to the World Championships! Maybe I'll get better results!

"Besides, even if I really can't do it, we still have Ichijo and Ueno!"

Having said that, Shindo turned his gaze towards the two juniors with some anticipation in his eyes.

However, when facing the gaze from Hiroaki Shindo, Ueno Torachichiro's expression immediately became a little embarrassed.

Compared to the more hot-blooded Ichijo and Yamagami, whose emotions easily fluctuate, Ueno is undoubtedly the most rational one among the "Three Birds of Reiwa".

In the nearly twenty years since 2015, among the Japanese chess players, only Hiroaki Shindo, who was at the end of his prime, reached the LIG final once in 2017. Apart from him, no other Japanese chess player has appeared in the final of a world championship.

In his opinion, judging from the performance of his players in recent years, reaching the semi-finals of the World Championships would be celebrated with drums and gongs. Isn't it just a pipe dream to reach the finals?

Now I can only bully little girls with ease!

Ueno Toranoichiro, who had recently received a "small task" from the chess academy, couldn't help but say this in his heart.

However, although Ueno found it difficult to respond to this, fortunately there was a hot-blooded idiot next to him, so the atmosphere did not become awkward.

The current Japanese Go Master Takuya Ichijo said without hesitation, with great vigor and seriousness:

"Yes! No problem!
"Big sister, you have worked hard over the years! It's time to take a good rest!
"Right now, whether it's the elder Master Bo Guang or the younger Rei-chan, they are working so hard, how can we, as the backbone, be left behind?

"Just like what Li-chan said: It is our duty to restore Japan's glory!

"In this Tongge Cup and Yingyi Cup, I will do my best to show the style of the Japanese chess master!"

"Well, Xiachuan, look! I was right, wasn't I?"

Seeing that his junior was very respectful, Shindo Hiroaki looked back at his old friend.

Xia Chuanqiu, who had always had a low opinion of "Reiwa Sanbaga", was stunned for a moment, and smiled from the bottom of her heart and encouraged:

"OK!
"I'm counting on you this time! Ichijo Chess Master!" (End of this chapter)
