"Brother Ni! Just send it here!

"It's actually inside the hotel, no need to worry!"

6:6 am on June th, in the lobby of the housekeeping department of Tongge Hotel.

Rui Zhao, who had just finished reviewing a game of chess in the "Cuizhuxuan" teahouse, walked to the lobby door and turned around to say goodbye to Ni Jue.

The hotel's tea room is not open 24 hours a day, but in order to meet the guests' needs for chess and card entertainment, if you pay in advance, the tea room defaults to allowing you to play all the time - there are surveillance cameras anyway, so there's no need to worry about anything getting lost.

"Okay, Rui Zhao, go back and have some rest early."

Since Junior Sister expressed her opinion in this way, Ni Jue continued to speak:

"I've been playing chess for five days in a row, and today I played three games in a row. I have to conserve my energy!"

"Um!

"But it's okay! If it's chess, I feel like I can keep playing!"

Rui Zhao still looks like he is in great shape:

"When I was preparing for the City Cup, I was running three times slower and one time faster in the last day. Today, two times slower and one time faster is nothing!"

Hearing this, Ni Jue couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As a person involved in the incident, he naturally knew how curly this beautiful girl in front of him could be.

What a crazy little chess player!

But at this moment, Rui Zhao seemed to suddenly remember something, and came closer and asked in a low voice:

"Oh, that's right, Brother Ni!
"I have a question...I want to ask..."

"Huh? You say."

"Senior Brother, you...are you Brother Du's nephew?
"But you two have different last names..."

"Hey! Don't take it seriously!

"This is just a joke!"

Ni Jue complained and then began to explain:
"A few years ago, a young chess player came to the chess academy and happened to see the two of us playing chess.

"When he came up to greet us, he called me brother and called Elder Du uncle...

"It was after that time that he started calling me his nephew!"

"uncle……"

The girl murmured and repeated it again, and finally got the point. She couldn't help but reveal a very sweet smile:
"Ah! I see!
"This name... is quite cute!"

"Hey, you're called 'second niece' because of this!" Ni Jue couldn't help but remind her sarcastically.

"Hmm? Nothing much?

"I think he's as cute as 'Little Bear Two'!"

Seeing his junior sister's reaction, Ni Jue was speechless.

right……

She had agreed when Little Bear called her "Little Bear Two", so what did "second niece" mean?

"Okay... Let's go back and rest early..."

Ni Jue's voice was full of helplessness.

But he never expected that at this moment Rui Zhao seemed to remember something:
"Ah, there's more!"

"what happened again……"

It was rare for Ni Jue to feel angry towards his junior sister.

Rui Zhao said embarrassedly:

"Brother Ni, I couldn't find a suitable person to practice with recently, so I spent most of my time researching flying knives, and now I have achieved some results.

"I'll take a break these two days... Can I come and get your opinion? If it works, you can use it too, Senior Brother!

"I've always felt very sorry for letting you waste that 'Big Flying Shoulder Charge'..."

Ni Jue was stunned for a moment, then comforted him softly:
"Rui Zhao, what are you talking about! How can this be called 'waste'?
"My 'Big Flying Shoulder Charge' can help the entire Chinese Go community out of trouble, I am so happy!

"I heard from my master that my flying knife was even framed in Chairman Qian Sitao's office along with your chess set. This is a great honor for me as a knife maker!
"So, I welcome you to discuss this, but don't carry this psychological burden with you, okay?"

After hearing this, the girl blinked twice briskly, as if she wanted to argue with her senior brother.

However, perhaps realizing that dwelling on this matter now would not yield any results, she agreed to it:
"...I understand. I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow.

"Brother, go to bed early today!"

"Well, I'll chat with Brother Du for a bit, it'll be quick!"

...

After bidding farewell to his junior sister with a smile, Ni Jue quickly returned to the small private room in the "Cuizhuxuan" teahouse.

The situation in the private room was no different from when he left: Du Weichen was still sitting at the table, looking at the slow chess game he and Rui Zhao had just finished. Yes, during the meal, Elder Du asked Rui Zhao if they could play another slow chess game after the meal, and Rui Zhao readily agreed.

So after letting Zeng Guangwen, who looked lifeless, go back to rest early, the three of them went to the "Cuizhuxuan" teahouse in the hotel to play chess.

This time, Du Weichen, who had been well prepared, finally avoided another setback.

Although the situation was a bit tense and repetitive during the fierce battle in the middle game, overall Captain Du still suppressed his new team member.

After 238 moves, seeing that the last desperate attempt in the upper right corner had failed and there was no hope of a comeback, Queen Zhaotian chose to resign.

The captain of the Pohu men's team, who had finally regained his position, was in a good mood. He cooperated very well with Rui Zhao and reviewed the game in detail. Therefore, it was not until this time that Rui Zhao returned to his room to rest.

"Oh, you gave me a big scare today. I thought I couldn't even handle a little girl..."

Seeing Ni Jue coming back at this time, Du Weichen couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Fortunately, this girl's slow chess is not as good as her fast chess, otherwise I wouldn't know where to put my face today!
"Ah... Actually, she posted her results on the fast chess board first."

Ni Jue naturally took over the conversation:

"The only time she passed the open-ended tournament preliminaries was at the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament. In addition, the seven consecutive victories at the Lakeside Cup were also in the Rapid Chess format."

"That's it..."

Du Weichen nodded after hearing this:
“But… this is also good.

"We don't have anyone who is good at fast chess here, so it just so happens that she can take over the fast chess table at home!
"Besides, male chess players usually have a heavier psychological burden when facing female chess players. There is also less time on the fast chess table. Maybe my second niece will have a better chance of being upset..."

Having said this, Elder Du paused for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then asked again in confusion:
"That's right... How come this girl is so good at chess?

"To be honest, although I was a little careless in the previous blitz game today, this girl's chess sense is really amazing! The battle in the upper right corner in the middle game really killed me!

"Logically, shouldn't an old guy like me have a better sense of chess? But today, I was a little bit outdone by this little girl..."

"Brother Du, this statement is actually not accurate."

Ni Jue corrected:
“It’s not so much that veteran players have good chess sense, but rather that players who play a lot and have been playing chess have good chess sense!
"Veterans have a good sense of chess because they play a lot and have accumulated experience over a long period of time. As long as you practice enough, you can have a good sense of chess even if you are young.

"The most typical example is Young Master Liu, who is only 24 years old this year. But in terms of chess sense alone, which veteran dares to say that he is better? It's nothing more than practicing too much!
"And Rui Zhao is very similar to Young Master Liu, and it can even be said that... he is even more similar than Young Master Liu!

"The title of the new generation's curling king is no joke! Not only among women, but also among men, she is the best!
"When the Go League starts, you will realize that she is completely absorbed in Go and has no interest in anything else."

"Have you practiced enough..."

Du Weichen sighed softly:

"Is this the reason why you are so stubborn now?"

Hearing Elder Du say this, Ni Jue couldn't help but be stunned.

After taking a look at Ni Jue's expression, the elder couldn't help but laugh:
“…Come on, don’t I know you yet!
"You've been working so hard lately... probably to serve as the 'anti-Yanagi treasure' in the Nongshim Cup, right?"

"what……"

Seeing that Elder Du had already guessed it, Ni Jue had no intention of hiding it any further:

"Yeah! It's hard to be calm after seeing one person destroy the entire team in the Nongshim Cup!

“But if I want to defeat Young Master Liu in the Nongshim Cup… I’m afraid it won’t be easy.

"He told me after the last 16 match of the Samsung Cup that in some matches, winning or losing is his greatest pleasure. The Nongshim Cup is obviously the most typical example.

"As for Go, it all comes down to persistence and accumulation. If you think you can improve your level by practicing for two or three months, even if it seems that you have recovered, there will be many consequences.

“So after the last Nongshim Cup, I have been working really hard, hoping to use a whole year to maintain my form for that crucial game. I don’t know if I can do it!”

"Ah...I understand."

Du Weichen nodded slightly:
“But…you’re so confident about the primaries in early July?
“To be honest, from what I understand, after losing the last game, many people were holding back.

"The most typical example is Lao Kuai - you should have seen how energetic he was in the Dragon Star Tournament. He also has enough points to participate in the preliminaries this time. Lin Ruixin has also been on a strong momentum recently.

"It's okay, just two strikes.

"Under the rules of fast chess, there shouldn't be anyone in the country who can stop me from striking with my sword."

Ni Jue answered very calmly and appeared extremely confident.

Elder Du blinked his small eyes and patted the celebrity Tian Yuan on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your hard work, nephew!"

Ni Jue raised the corner of his mouth and shrugged:
"What's the matter? It's just the path I chose.

"As for Rui Zhao... you call her your second niece, so you should at least play the role of an elder and take care of her more, right?"

"Oh! You really think highly of this junior sister!"

Elder Du smiled and said:
"Okay! I promise!

"But...you have to agree to one condition of mine!"

"What conditions?"

Elder Du raised his eyebrows:
“This time in the Nongshim Cup… you have to kill Xiao Liu!
"I still remember the revenge of the Spring Orchid Cup final in 21!" (End of this chapter)
