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

she……

She is already the number one Chinese woman...

Early in the morning of June 6, Ingang International Airport, South Korea.

Kim Woo-eun, who was about to leave with the South Korean team to compete in the Tongge Cup, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the final result of yesterday's China mainland qualifiers pop up on the news.

There was no upset in the women's qualifying round of the Tongge Cup World Championships in South Korea. The world's top female ice queen Kim Woo-eun successfully defeated all her opponents and won her country's women's final spot.

But even though everything went well, the world's top female chess player still couldn't be optimistic about the current situation.

Ever since she won the runner-up in the LIG Cup two years ago and created the best result for female chess players in the world championships, the Ice Queen has remained diligent but has found it difficult to make any progress.

Obviously... I have been learning from the top male players, and I have won the last five women's world championships.

The queen thought to herself.

But now, not only has her strength basically stagnated over the past year, but apart from continuing to win the Women's World Championship, there have been no new breakthroughs in her results and ranking in unlimited competitions.

On the contrary, Rui Zhao has been making great progress since she was promoted to the professional level. Within a year, she is now second only to her among women. This made the queen, who was already the only one in the female chess world, feel a little anxious.

"Sister Youen, what's wrong?
"You're going to participate in a competition, why do you look so worried?"

"Xiao Liu?"

Jin Youen saw who was coming and immediately responded:

"Ah, I thought of something..."

"What's the matter? Because Rui Zhao became the number one Chinese woman?"

"what……"

Jin Youen, who was guessed at his thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and then told the other party the truth after a little thought:
“Yeah, a little bit.

“In the past year or so, I feel like I have stagnated a bit.

“Obviously… my number of women’s world champions has surpassed Wu Jiudan’s.

"But I don't know why, but I always feel that I am getting further and further away from my goal of becoming the 'No. 1 female chess player in history'..."

"Sister Youen, this kind of thing actually depends on how you adjust yourself..."

Young Master Liu smiled and replied:

"But if you ask me... you might be caring a little too much about things outside the chessboard."

"Beyond the chessboard?"

Jin Youen frowned slightly:
"……Yeah?
"But I always feel that my mind has always been on Go."

Liu Shixian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this:

"That……

"Becoming the 'first female chess player in history', is that something you've planned?"

"……Eh?"

But in the face of Jin Youen's doubts, Liu Shixian continued to speak:

"Sister Youen, Go is... after all, too pure. It's really too tiring to play.

"In fact, I think I have enjoyed all the fun that Go has brought me, but I still cannot guarantee that I can play my best in every game and be meticulous. Many so-called "crashes" are also due to this...

"And your words...

"Maybe I still care too much about things outside the game."

...

...

"Hmm... it's a good idea! The idea is also very clever!

"I was right at the beginning, you are quite talented in research!
“It hasn’t been long since I learned from the teacher, but I can already produce my own products!”

On the afternoon of June 6, Cuizhuxuan Tea House of Tongge Hotel.

Ni Jue, who had just finished discussing some of Rui Zhao's recent small "research results", could not help but praise his junior sister with great surprise.

Originally, Rui Zhao was supposed to come to see Ni Jue yesterday according to the plan. However, he never expected that the Deputy Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, Zhu Zhoutong, and the Vice Chairman of the Go Association, Kong Zhiyong, would come to her house early yesterday morning to persuade... No, to beg the girl to promote the future development of Go in Gezhou and China.

How could this young girl, who is not very experienced in the world, be a match for these old foxes?

After hearing that Gezhou would continue to invest in the Go industry and hold more competitions, the girl was convinced.

Finally, when Zhu Zhoutong said that they only needed to take a simple photo for an hour on Tongge Mountain, the girl agreed on the spot when she saw that it didn't take much time. The whole process went so smoothly that Zhu Zhoutong himself wanted to suggest that the girl hurry up and go to the next [National Anti-Fraud Center].

Finally, yesterday morning, the Gezhou Culture and Tourism Bureau successfully completed various tasks including filming, and then immediately sent the filming materials to the Party B company in a hurry to work.

But this has disrupted Rui Zhao's established plan, so he postponed the discussion with Ni Jue to today.

In fact, Ni Jue had intended to prepare for the Tongge Cup in the past two days, but the first round matchup would not be officially announced until tonight, so he could not make any special arrangements. Considering that he had been working harder this year and did not have time to discuss more with his junior sister, he readily agreed.

"Hey! Really? Thank you, brother!"

The girl gave an embarrassed smile, and then asked expectantly:

"Then, Senior Brother Ni, can this flying knife help you beat Liu Jiudan in the Nongshim Cup?"

"what……"

Hearing this, Ni Jue's smile faded slightly. After pondering for a while, he said seriously:
"Rui Zhao, I appreciate your kindness.

"But this flying knife you researched yourself... I'm afraid it can't be used against Liu Shixian."

"Ah? Why!"

The girl asked subconsciously.

Ni Jue went on to explain: “In fact, although it is sharp, it is not concealed enough.”

"hidden?"

“Yes, you have to know that Liu Shixian has also done a lot of research on layout.

"In this world, apart from me, he should be the only one.

“I felt this when we played against each other in the Samsung Cup last time. He also told me after the game that he would definitely prioritize winning in the Nongshim Cup. I’m afraid he would be extra careful when we play against each other.

"The flying knife you researched is very sharp and powerful, but its edge is exposed, and the opponent has no better way to deal with it unless he takes advantage of this change.

"It's a bit like the 'Ni Dao Variation' that I researched back then. It's sharp and complicated, but now everyone who plays with me won't use this variation. They all simply dodge the knife.

"Like me, I actually hid a lot of flying knives in 'Ni Dao Transformation', but I didn't expect to be able to sneak up on people - the same is true for your flying knife to Liu Shixian."

"what……"

Rui Zhao pursed his lips, and it was obvious that he was not willing to help his senior brother:
"I understand!
"Then I will definitely continue to work hard on my research and help you find another flying knife that is not easy to detect!"

"Hey hey hey! That's not necessary. It takes too much of your energy!"

Ni Jue quickly stopped him:

"What's more, I have my own goal of ending Young Master Liu's Nongxin winning streak, and you also have your own tasks to complete!

"The Ice Queen's consecutive World Women's Championships cannot be allowed to continue like this. Otherwise, it will be a big blow to the morale and development of domestic women's Go.

"Now, in terms of strength, you are probably already the number one female in the country. It's time to shoulder the responsibility of being the 'number one sister'. Do you understand?"

Rui Zhao seemed a little surprised when she heard this - she had never considered this as a "task" before, and she had no obsession with "defeating the Ice Queen".

However, this was something that could be accomplished while pursuing a higher level of chess skills, so the girl didn't feel bothered and nodded immediately:
“Yeah, I understand!
"I will definitely try my best in this year's Wu Yue Cup!"

"Then I will look forward to your performance then!"

Ni Jue smiled and did not put pressure on her junior sister anymore. She asked:
"By the way, the draw for the first round of matchups will be held at the tournament's opening ceremony tonight.

"Do you have an opponent you want to meet? Maybe you can draw the Ice Queen! That would be a rehearsal for the next Wu Yue Cup!"

"Gold 9th Dan?"

Rui Zhao hesitated for a while, and seemed not so satisfied with the result:
"In fact, if I may...

"I'd rather meet Liu Shixian or Lei Qi!"

"…Huh? Why did you choose them?"

This answer was something Ni Jue never expected:

"With your current level, you will definitely lose if you meet them!"

However, Empress Zhaotian did not think there was any problem at all:

“But isn’t the benefit of entering the World Series the opportunity to compete with the best players?

"Of course, it would be best if I could fight against Liu Jiuduan and Lei Qi Jiuduan!"

These words almost choked Ni Jue, and in the end he could only say helplessly:
"Hey, what are you thinking about!

"Liu Shixian and Lei Qi's grades are so good, they must have a bye in the first round!

"Didn't you take a look at the previously announced list of players for this tournament? It clearly states which players will have a bye in the first round!"

The girl was stunned, then continued:

"Then you, Senior Brother Ni, Senior Brother Sun, and Brother Xiong..."

"Hey, those of us who are ranked high all have byes in the first round! Don't pick on the third party who has such a high rating!"

"what……

"Then, then Huang Bonan 9th dan, Luo Xi 9th dan, Li Zhaokai 9th dan, Zhuang Zheng 9th dan..."

"Rui Zhao! Although they also have to play in the first round, you won't meet them because of the 'avoidance of the same country' rule."

“Isn’t this possible?

"Then, then we can choose Shindo 9th Dan, Ichijo 9th Dan, Ueno 9th Dan and the others!
"If that doesn't work... Jin Youen 9th Dan is also fine. I'm not picky!"

"Hey! Don't ever say that last sentence anywhere else!

"It's going to cause another human accident, okay?"

...

...

On the evening of June 6, the first "Tongge Cup" World Go Championship officially held a grand opening ceremony and welcome dinner at Tongge Hotel in Gezhou, which also attracted a large number of media to report.

The city promotional video of Gezhou City, which focuses on Go culture and industry, was finally edited before tonight after the all-night overtime work of Party B, and was officially released at the opening ceremony.

In the film, Rui Zhao, the city ambassador of Gezhou City and a professional sixth-dan female chess player who is also a contestant in the Tongge Cup, wears a dress with traditional Chinese prints. She strolls in the mountains of Tongge or places her chess pieces on pavilions. She is bright and gentle, the scenery is wonderful and the people are even better. It is really beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

However, Queen Zhaotian herself did not watch the whole process at all. She just held the tablet and kept thinking about how to further study the "hidden flying knife" that Ni Jue mentioned this afternoon.

Finally, after various speeches, addresses, and promotional screenings, the opening ceremony finally came to the final first round of drawing lots.

The contestants who will compete in the first round will come on stage one by one, draw their own lots from the lottery box, and display them to the public, while also allowing the media on site to take photos.

Among them, the popular superstar beauty chess player Rui Zhao, who has attracted much attention, drew a good lot and will face North American chess player Kerry Tucker in the first round.

Seeing this matchup, all the leaders of Gezhou City were delighted - they naturally hoped that their "publicity ambassador" who attracted much media attention could survive one more round in this competition.

However, for some reason, when Queen Zhaotian, who had drawn the best lot, showed it to the public, her mouth corners were puffed up and her face was droopy, and she seemed to be really unhappy.
