"Brother Ni! What do you want to talk to me about?"

At the same time, in Tongge Hotel, in Ni Jue's room.

Hearing the voice of his junior sister coming from the phone, he seemed very excited. Mingren Tianyuan paused and said:
"Ah, nothing much, just came to ask about your preparations for the battle.

"After all, this game of chess... is attracting a lot of attention from the outside world!"

"Ah? Really?"

Hearing this, Ni Jue seemed to see his own junior sister tilting her head slightly:

"But that's true! The person on the other side is the best in the world!
"Even if the opponent is just an ordinary 6th dan player like me, it will still attract a lot of attention!"

"what……"

Ni Jue was a little speechless after hearing this, but he still knew that now was not the time to explain this to his junior sister:
"Well, well, I guess so!

"Um...from your tone, it seems like you are particularly happy to meet Liu Shixian?"

"Of course!"

Even through the phone, Ni Jue could feel the "wow cool wow cool" feeling from the girl's words:

"Liu Jiudan is the best chess player right now! It's a rare opportunity to learn from him in a game!
"After this time, I don't know when I'll have the next chance! So I have to cherish it and play my best!"

Well……

She also cares about this game...

Ni Jue hesitated for a moment, then suggested:

"Rui Zhao, if that's the case...

"Then let me tell you which of my throwing knives I can lend you!"

"...Ah? Lend it to me?"

Rui Zhao was obviously a little surprised by this proposal.

Ni Jue slowly explained:

"Rui Zhao, if we play chess normally, you basically have no chance of winning against Liu Shixian.

“Although you have recently developed a pretty good flying knife, even if you have no history of frequent knife use, you might be able to kill Young Master Liu by surprise. But if you only have one flying knife, it is very likely that you will not be able to use it.

“So, this time I can lend you some of the flying knives that I don’t think will be able to stop Young Master Liu in the Nongshim Cup.

"With a sufficient arsenal of weapons, you should have a chance to fight Master Liu! Even if you lose, it won't be too tragic..."

Naturally, Ni Jue had considered a lot before making such a suggestion.

Right now, this game is attracting everyone's attention.

Although [Go Xiao Zhao] has already become popular, the recent city promotional video of Gezhou City and the news that Rui Zhao will soon face off against the world's number one player have brought the attention of tomorrow's round of 32 match to a whole new level.

Unfortunately... Although this game of chess attracted much attention, the strength of the two sides was very different.

Therefore, whether for the development of Go in China as a whole or for the public opinion of his junior sister, Ni Jue feels that it is necessary to narrow the gap in strength between the two sides as much as possible.

In particular, although Liu Shixian would certainly be on guard against flying knives when fighting him, if it was Rui Zhao who made the move, the young master of the Liu family might not be so cautious.

Authorizing Rui Zhao to use some of the flying knives that he felt could not reach Young Master Liu will not affect his plan to stop Liu Shixian in the Nongshim Cup, so why not do it?

"what……"

Having said this, Rui Zhao finally understood what Ni Jue meant.

But she answered almost immediately:
"But... this is your flying knife library, brother! It's not my true strength!

"This isn't a special situation like the last time in the City Cup! If we rely on my senior brother's flying knife library, it would be meaningless even if we beat Liu Jiudan. What's more, we might still lose, and the flying knives would be wasted in vain."

Ni Jue couldn't help but frown when he heard this:
"You mean... you want to play with Liu Shixian like this?"

"Yes! This is the most suitable way for me to ask for advice!"

Rui Zhao's answer was very firm.

Ni Jue couldn't help but frowned and said:

“But this game… there are so many people paying attention to it.

"Some of Lin Ruixin's fans online don't like you very much. If you really lose badly... you might face some criticism."

But Rui Zhao still didn't care:

“That’s okay!
"It's a fact that I'm not as strong as Liu Shixian. If I lose badly, it's an objective reflection of my strength. There's nothing to be embarrassed about!

"Also, although there is definitely still a gap in strength! But I think I should be able to cause some trouble to Liu Jiudan in the middle game!
"As for other discussions... I actually never read them, and I don't really care!"

Don’t you care…?

This is indeed my junior sister’s style!

Ni Jue pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing, then nodded and said:
“…I understand, I’ll listen to you!

"But at the very least, let me give you some pre-match advice?"

"Okay! Brother, you go ahead!"

"Ok.

"Tomorrow, when you deal with Liu Shixian, you must be brave enough to use some unusual moves, and then lead the situation into a chaotic battle that neither side is familiar with..."

...

...

"We're a little late! Sorry, teacher!"

June 6, 9: noon, Tongge Hotel.

The Chinese Queen Mulan, dressed in a black business suit and having just finished putting on makeup, hurried to the live broadcast room to meet with her teacher.

As the female commentator chosen by Shang Chaotian, Liu Yuhong, who received an urgent notice from her teacher last night, traveled all the way from Jinling City and finally arrived at Tongge Hotel half an hour ago.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Yu Hong."

Shang Chaotian, who had just seen his students in the studio, smiled kindly:
"This time, thanks to the promotion of Gezhou City, we have a rare opportunity to get a live broadcast on CCTV-5. I think we still need to send our best troops, so I'm sorry to bother you."

"Yeah, I understand that! I'd rather say I'm honored."

Liu Yuhong responded as he walked up to the teacher.

Shang Chaotian, who was dressed in formal attire, nodded and continued to instruct:
"Okay! Time is urgent, so I won't say anything else." Time is also tight at CCTV, so they basically start the live broadcast at a fixed time.

"Yu Hong, hurry up and familiarize yourself with the screens on site. The live broadcast will begin soon!"

"Oh! All right."

After hearing the instructions, Liu Yuhong began to familiarize himself with the various operations of the live broadcast room console under the teacher's arrangement.

Hmm, so many angles of view? Does Rui Zhao take this match so seriously this time?

Hmm? Is this a wide-angle panoramic view? Now everyone is basically seated, except for Master Liu.

That’s true. The game will start in a few minutes.

Eh……

It seems like a lot of people are watching Rui Zhao's channel!

Ni Jue... Well, he really values ​​his only junior sister, so it is normal for him to show more concern for her when he meets Liu Shixian.

Little Bear...it seems like he and Rui Zhao are sworn brothers...Is there really anyone who can play with Little Bear? !
Hiss... Mr. Dai seems to be concerned too?
Doesn't he usually pay little attention to off-field news?

Hey wait!
There really is something going on with Xiao Lei!

He looked like he didn't care much... but he kept glancing at Rui Zhao's camera out of the corner of his eye!

Haha! I caught you in the act!

I knew the child had grown up! He had his own ideas! He didn’t admit it before!
But I understand... Rui Zhao is indeed a very beautiful girl.

Today's simple dark green traditional Chinese style dress, paired with a white jade hairpin, is really a proud addition to our chess circle when she appears on CCTV's live broadcast in this attire!

Even if we compare it with girls who do figure skating or rhythmic gymnastics... I'm afraid they may not be able to win, right?

……Um? !
Wait, wait, wait! What about Monkey King? !

No! You haven’t even won the world runner-up title!
Why didn't he take the time to concentrate on his competition and instead kept staring at his pretty junior sister?!
Xiao Lei is recognized as the future leader. It's ok for him to take a sneak peek, but you, a monkey, are worthy of that?!
Just as Queen Mulan had quietly clenched her fists, wishing she could punch the current chess master who was looking around through the screen, the voice of Shang Chaotian suddenly came over:

"Yu Hong, is it almost time?
"Liu Shixian has just taken his seat, and it's almost time to start the game. I'm going to start the live broadcast now.

"If you are not completely familiar with the operations, you should wear invisible headphones first. If there are any problems, the director can remind you through the headphones later."

"Ahh, okay!"

Queen Mulan quickly cleared her mind and regained her dignified and capable expression.

After Shang Chaotian and Liu Yuhong put on their headsets as instructed, the live broadcast officially began.

Liu Yuhong took a deep breath and began to speak according to the content of the preface device in front of him:

“Good afternoon, dear audience friends! Welcome to watch our program on time.

"What we are about to bring to you is a focus match of the ongoing first Tongge Cup round of 32, with Chinese 6th dan chess player and women's world runner-up Rui Zhao facing the world's number one player and seven-time champion Liu Shixian.

"The person who came to our live studio today to explain the live broadcast is the seven-time world champion and current chairman of the Chinese Go Association, Shang Chaotian, 9th dan!

“And I am a professional 8th-dan chess player, Liu Yuhong.

"Now the scene has started to guess who will go first..."

...

...

Well……

It seems that many people are paying attention to this game...

At the same time, the chess game was taking place at Tongge Building of Tongge Hotel.

Liu Shixian, who had just taken his seat, noticed the many gazes from other tables almost immediately, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

But...I can understand it!

This girl is really special...

But even the girl herself is so excited!

Thinking of this, the world's number one couldn't help but look up and take another look at his opponent. The Chinese female sixth dan, who was dubbed the "Queen of Heaven", was pursing her lips slightly, her eyes were full of excitement, and her whole body was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Well, Rui Zhao 6th dan...

"From your looks...are you happy today?"

Feeling a little strange, Master Liu took the black box to his right hand and asked softly.

"Ah... you figured it out?"

The girl smiled embarrassedly:

“It’s a rare opportunity to learn from the best in the world!
"To be honest, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night!"

"Ah... is that so? Actually, that's not the case!"

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Shixian smiled and said modestly.

"You think highly of me, but I don't think I'm any different from the other top players..."

"You are too modest. I also learn chess from you all the time!"

The girl took the white box and said:

"Although my level is not high, I still sincerely hope that I can prevent you from withdrawing too quickly today!"

Ah... such an attitude...

Hearing this, Liu Shixian's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Although I always think...it would be better if you weren't a girl.

But it is good to be able to experience the sharpness of you, the "first woman in the future"...

Isn't it a pleasure?

"Rui Liuduan, you are too kind! Then... please give me your guidance."

"Please give me more advice."

As the chief referee officially announced the start of the game, the two players saluted each other.

Then, Liu Shixian raised his hand to take the stone, and struck it gracefully and accurately on the small eye in front of Rui Zhao's left. (End of this chapter)
