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

"Come on! Cheers everyone!
"This is the first time since our team was founded that we have made it into the top two in the regular season of the Chinese Weiqi League! Congratulations!"

On the same evening, in a restaurant in Dajing City.

Dajing team coach Fan Zhuo and four team members are gathering here to celebrate today's victory.

In the final match of the Weiqi League regular season in the afternoon, facing the bottom-ranked Qinghai-Tibet team, Dajing performed well, winning all four games and was impeccable.

However... this alone is not enough for the Dajing team to celebrate today.

The most important thing is that today the Qiantang team lost a crucial game point to the Pohu team, which is also a weak team. With the same field points, the game score was also tied by the Dajing team.

This season, the two teams tied 2-2, so there was no way to compare the winning streak. But when comparing the winning rate of the main players, Lei Qi performed more stably. In the end, the Dajing team squeezed its old rival Qiantang team to third place with the winning rate of the main players, and Dajing team moved into the top two, ranking at the top of the bubble match.

That is why, after today's game, coach Fan Zhuo decisively organized a dinner for the team members as a small celebration.

"Fuck!" ×4
Seeing that the coach started the conversation, several team members naturally raised their glasses to join in the celebration, and the scene was quite lively.

However, chess players usually don't drink too much, and after a large glass of draft beer, Coach Fan, who was in high spirits, became more open-minded:
“Oh, but we really have to thank Queen Zhaotian today!
"If she hadn't tripped the official, we wouldn't have been able to have this gathering today!
"Come, let's toast to our little Chinese chess queen!
"I wish Queen Zhaotian will make more progress in the future and make more fermented bean curd!"

Actually, Fan Zhuo's original intention was to liven up the atmosphere by saying these words in a joking manner.

However, what Fan Zhuo did not expect was that when he raised the glass, the team members were all stunned.

The four meritorious warriors of the Dajing team all looked at each other in amazement, among which Li Tingyan and Liang Sizhen looked particularly embarrassed.

Fan Zhuo suddenly reacted when he saw this:

Damn, it’s broken!

I forgot that I have two queens of fermented bean curd in my team!!!
This doesn't even include the game of handicap two when Rui Zhao slaughtered Xiao Lei online. If you want to record it, it should be counted as three!!!
"Uh, that... that's what I mean!
"Rui Zhao is indeed very strong now, so strong that we can't even consider her as a female chess player! It's not strange to lose to her!
"Look, the official has done it too! Haha, hahahaha..."

Fan Zhuo, who ruined the atmosphere, tried hard to laugh dryly, trying to warm up the atmosphere again, but this abrupt dry laugh made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Just as Fan Zhuo was trying to think of how to get himself out of office, Lei Qi suddenly took over the conversation:
“…Coach Fan, you are right.

"Rui Zhao...now no matter how you look at it, he is undoubtedly a strong fighter.

"I reviewed her game right after I finished playing it today.

“Although this victory was partly due to the official’s carelessness, the shape of the white chess piece in the upper right corner did not look problematic, so it is not surprising that a top chess player would overlook it.

“But… Rui Zhao caught it very sharply.

"She carefully restrained her killing intent at first, and didn't let the official notice anything wrong. When the time was right, she killed the official's dragon, which seemed to be fine, like a storm. It was just a chance for her to catch her breath and win beautifully!
"To be honest, with her performance...

"I could fail on her at any time!"

"Look, Xiao Lei thinks so too!"

Seeing that his commander had handed him an excuse, Fan Zhuo quickly took advantage of the situation:
“So, Li Jiuduan, Xiao Liang, don’t worry about it!

"When everyone becomes Rui Zhao Fermented Bean Curd in the future, then it will be the same as if we are no longer Fermented Bean Curd!"

"Ah this..."×2
After hearing such a subtle statement, Li Tingyan and Liang Sizhen didn't know whether they should respond or not.

But at this time, Lei Qi on the side continued in a calm voice:

"…But I don't really want to be this fermented bean curd, Coach Fan."

"……what?!"

Fan Zhuo was a little confused for a moment, but Lei Qi had already stood up, bowed slightly and said:
“Excuse me, everyone.

"I will have the Nongshim Cup competition after the New Year. Teacher Shang has given me a task this time, and I don't want to disappoint him. I'll excuse myself first!

"Everyone, enjoy your meal and see you after the Spring Festival!"

After saying this, Lei Qi bowed to express his apology, then turned around and left cleanly and neatly without any delay.

"Lei Qi!"

At this moment, Li Tingyan, who was very embarrassed just now, suddenly called out to the captain of the team who was about to leave. When he turned around, he uttered the second half of the sentence meaningfully:
“…See you after the Spring Festival!”

"……Um."

The boy understood what he meant, and responded with his eyes narrowed, then turned around and continued on his way.

However, for Lei Qi, his current goal is to defeat the opponents who stand in his way in the Nongshim Cup one by one.

But for the current Chinese Go, there are other problems that need to be dealt with...

...

...

【Thank you all for your concern about my health recently! I am recovering well now. 】

[However, due to physical reasons, I have not been able to participate in any competitions or training during this period, so my competitive state is not ideal. Regarding whether I can play in the Nongshim Cup after the Spring Festival, I still need to communicate with the association and the national team. If there is a result, I will inform everyone as soon as possible. ]

【I also wish you all a happy Chinese New Year! 】

Well……

I hope Ni Jue’s move can calm the emotions of chess fans!
On January 1, Huaxia Go Association. Shang Chaotian looked at the latest update posted by his celebrity Tianyuan on Weibo and secretly wished from the bottom of his heart.

The chairman of the Chess Association actually knew last night that Ni Jue would post this update this morning - because this was what he asked Ni Jue to post after communicating with him.

As for the reason...

That's because the pressure from chess fans is becoming unbearable.

With the end of the last round of the Weiqi League regular season on January 1, there will be no more Go events in China before the Spring Festival holiday.

And chess fans who have entered a long hiatus have naturally turned their attention to the "big show of the year" after the New Year - the third stage of the 26th Nongshim Cup.

Then, everyone remembered...

Our own Nongshim Cup is still missing one person!
The competition is about to start after the Chinese New Year, but there is still no news about the players? !

Therefore, within one day after the end of the Weiqi League, many chess fans posted on the official Weibo of the Chess Association and major Go communities to discuss and demand that the Chess Association give an official announcement. For a time, the situation became very hot.

Shang Chaotian knew that he could no longer turn a deaf ear to such signs of public opinion. So he asked the Propaganda Department to issue some words to appease the chess fans, and asked Ni Jue to help stabilize the situation.

Judging from the comments under Ni Jue’s post, most chess fans seem to have calmed down now that the real culprit has spoken up.

However, it is hard to say how long this can be delayed.

Well……

I hope this year's Spring Festival Gala can come up with something new to attract everyone's attention like last year!

The magic trick is pretty good, it’s not impossible for Haruyama Manabu to broadcast it again!

Shang Chaotian couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.

But he had barely finished his prayer when new troubles came:
"Brother God!"

At this moment, Lu Wenjie rushed in from outside the door in a hurry, and was so anxious that he didn't even knock on the door.

"Wen Jie, what's wrong?"

Lu Wenjie quickly walked to the front of his chairman, took a breath, and then frowned and said:

“That’s it…

“Just now, the Japanese and South Korean chess academies and Nongshim Group sent messages together, expressing their concern for the situation of our last player in the Nongshim Cup.

"They said that although they understand Ni Jue's health problems, we are still unsure whether to use a substitute player and who to use as a substitute player, which is not appropriate!

"Therefore, the two chess academies hope that we can finalize the arrangements before the Spring Festival. Otherwise, the South Korean chess academy will discuss with Nongshim Group and consider imposing a time penalty on the last chess player that we have not been able to confirm."

"Tsk, did you come to my door again?"

Shang Chaotian couldn't help but complain a little. But he expected the two countries' chess academies to react like this.

The reason is very simple: this is equivalent to playing with hidden cards.

In the past, although the deployment of troops among the three countries on the stage could be determined according to circumstances, the players were ultimately chosen from the five predetermined players, so there was a rough range to facilitate targeting.

But at the moment, due to Ni Jue's health, China is still unsure whether to make a substitution and who to make. For the other two countries, it is completely in a state of "the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light", making it difficult to prepare for war and target.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Chinese Chess Association was issued an ultimatum.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Lu Wenjie asked for advice.

Since Shang Chaotian had expected this, he was also prepared for this. After a pause, he sighed and said:
“There’s no other way, I can only keep it secret until here!

"Wen Jie, give them a formal reply and report the name of our substitute chess player!

"But at the same time, tell them:
"I hope they will take into consideration our long-standing friendship and inform the contestants internally not to make a big announcement to the public and cause us unnecessary trouble.

"We always keep our word. Once the official letter is issued, there will be no changes. Let them rest assured."

"Hmm... I understand. I'll do it right away!"

Lu Wenjie responded with some concern.

Although he knew that it would not be a big problem to get the chess academies of the two countries to agree to Shang Chaotian's statement - there was nothing that Japan and South Korea could not agree to on such a small matter.

But the problem is... as long as more people know about something, there is inevitably a risk of it being leaked.

For example, the Toyo Ki-in was humiliated and lost all face due to the leak of the "Queen Shoten Response Plan" during the Fan Air War last year.

They can only keep important news to themselves so confidential. It is hard to say whether such explosive news can be concealed during the entire Spring Festival...

But at this point, there is really nothing we can do - we can't just watch our own players get penalized for off-field factors!

However, what caught the Chinese Chess Association off guard was...

Just one day after China handed over the candidates for the Nongshim Cup substitute players, an interview at the end of the fourth round of the South Korean Go League caused an uproar in the major Go communities on the Chinese Internet... (End of this chapter)
