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

Time quickly came to ten o'clock in the morning of August 8th.

On this day, the three-game semi-final of the 10th Yingyi Cup, which many chess fans had been looking forward to for a long time, was moved to Ci Chi Town, Ningbo City, the hometown of Mr. Ying Changqi, the founder of the Yingyi Cup.

Although the most watched Chinese beauty of this Yingyi Cup was eliminated in the quarterfinals, due to the high value of the Yingyi Cup itself and the symbolic fact that the great chess master Lin has re-entered the top four of the world championship after three years, the three-game semi-final match of the Yingyi Cup still attracted many Chinese chess fans and fans of Lin Ruixin, making it very lively.

However, among the many Chinese chess fans cheering for Lin Ruixin and Lei Qi, there appeared a petite figure who was cheering hard for the Japanese chess master, which surprised Takuya Ichijo for a moment:
"Rei-chan? Why are you here?!"

Seeing the current number one person in her country walking towards her, Japan's rising star Uesaka Rei immediately smiled and said:

"Hehe! Brother Ichijo, you didn't expect this! I wanted to give you a surprise!
"This is your first time to enter the semi-finals of the World Championship. I thought I'd come to watch the game and cheer you on!"

“…Is that so?”

Seeing that Ichijo still hadn't reacted, Kamisaka Rei's assistant Ichinose Airi explained:
"That's right, Ichijou.

"Lijiang will play in the Chinese Women's Go League match against the Tiangang Women's Team at home tomorrow, and she was originally going to come to China.

“In fact, according to the original plan, we were going to fly to Dongjiang this morning, and then take the high-speed train directly from Dongjiang to Hongcheng.

"Keli-chan saw that you successfully entered the semi-finals the day before yesterday, and she said she would come to cheer you on, so we bought a flight yesterday evening, stayed in Dongjiang for one night, and took the high-speed train at around 6:40 in the morning to rush here..."

“It’s so hard!”

Hearing that the young Uesaka had traveled a long way to cheer him up, the number one man in Japan seemed a little embarrassed.

“…That’s right, I might not be able to watch it all in person.”

At this time, Xiao Shangsaka pursed his lips and added:
"Because we have to catch the high-speed train to Hongcheng in the afternoon, we have to leave at 3pm at the latest..."

"Ah, it's okay!"

Ichijo Takuya quickly comforted him:

"Given the difference in strength between me and Lin Ruixin, the 9th dan, there's a high chance that I won't be able to hold on until 3pm before the game is over!"

Takuya Ichijo said this without thinking because he believed it from the bottom of his heart.

only……

After he said this, Kouesaka and Ichinose looked at him in surprise, and the air froze for a moment.

After this suffocating atmosphere lasted for three or four seconds, Takuya Ichijo suddenly realized the problem in his words and said with an awkward smile:
"Oh, sorry, that was a bit blunt.

“But… I really feel that under the time rules of the World Championships, there is indeed a gap between me and Lin Jiudan.

“If it was the three-and-a-half-hour retention time for the final, I might have had a chance.

"But the semi-finals lasted two and a half hours...

“I can only say that I will try my best and leave no regrets!”

"No, it's okay! Ichijo-nii!"

Uesaka Rei, who was quite sensible, continued to cheer:
"That Rui Zhao was able to beat Park Min-yeol 9th ​​Dan and Lee Jung-yeon 9th Dan in a row, so you definitely have a chance too!"

"Yeah, I understand that."

One of them smiled and said:

“But…speaking of Rui Zhao.

"Li-chan, it is indeed the right decision for you to join the Pohu team and learn from her!
"As the hope of our Japanese chess world, you should continue to learn from her."

"what……"

Uesaka was slightly stunned:
"Why, why are you talking about her all of a sudden?"

One of them smiled and said:

"Li-chan, let me say something embarrassing:

"When I first learned that the Go Institute was planning to train you as the future Go leader of Japan, I resolutely obeyed Chairman Kobayashi's arrangement, but in my heart... I was actually quite skeptical.

"After all, even the top two female chess players in history, Wu Yueyun of China and Kim Youen of South Korea, have not been able to truly lead a country.

"And in the history of our country's Go, it's even worse..." "Big Sister has never defeated Master Bo Guang in an official competition, never."

Hearing this, Uesaka Rei couldn't help but purse her lips subconsciously.

One thing you said is indeed quite right.

Despite the arduous task of taking on the responsibility of supporting the national Go community as a daughter in the future, Kouesaka has always been extremely determined and aware, and has done her best to do it.

But... I have to admit it.

There were many people in the chess academy who questioned the academy's plan, and there were even cases where someone looking for trouble made sarcastic remarks to Sakali in public.

But just when the little girl was in a trance, a follow-up message came:

"but……

"Rui Zhao's performance in the Yingyi Cup this time really made me feel that it is not impossible for female chess players to become the leaders of a country in the future."

"……Eh?"

“It’s obvious!
"He has won five consecutive games against male players in the Chinese Weiqi League and Yingyi Cup, including four 9th-dan players and three world champions. Among the current chess players under the age of 20 in various countries, who else can do this except Lei Qi, the 'future number one'!"

The Japanese chess master's tone was quite emotional:

"...Although, there may be some factors involved, such as the male masters underestimating their opponents or being impatient.

"But you have to know that Rui Zhao is only 19 years old. Moreover, after achieving such dazzling results, she can still continue to reflect on herself and even publicly expressed her hope that others will focus on her weaknesses. This is really terrible...

"Big Sister told me before that when he played against Rui Zhao at the Lakeside Cup last year, he had a feeling:
“Although it was their first encounter, it was the one she had the best chance of winning—and it turned out to be true.

"And now, I'm beginning to feel the feeling of being the big sister..."

"No, that's not the case! Ichijo-nii!
"She is still far behind you..."

"Rei-chan!"

The Japanese chess master did not bother to be polite with his rising star, and interrupted him succinctly and directly:
"If I want to defeat Rui Zhao next time... I might have to count on you!"

Hearing these unexpected words, Uesaka Rei opened her eyes wide, looking very surprised.

However, Japan's rising star did not stay there for long.

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

Uesaka Rei answered confidently but without any politeness:

"She's just a mere Queen Zhaotian. I'll beat her into a crying mess when the time comes!"

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

Ichijo patted Uesaka's shoulder and said:
"But now is the time for me to take the lead...

"Ichijo Takuya, Ima, Ikimas! (Ichijo Takuya, now, attack!)"

After half-jokingly shouting out the attack slogan that no longer had much passion, Japan's number one player said goodbye to Kouesaka and Ichinose and strode straight into the game room, appearing relaxed and calm.

"Hmm... Rei-chan..."

Seeing that Takuya Ichijo had already walked into the game room, assistant Ichinose couldn't help but say to Uesaka Rei beside him:

"Do you feel...

"Now the words of the Chess Master Ichijo sound a bit like Master Bo Guang?"

"Um……

“I feel like it a little bit!”

Kouyousaka hesitated for a moment and nodded:
“But…I can feel:

"He is still that passionate brother!"
