[Lao Zeng, seeing you in the competition, I’d like to thank you on WeChat first. ]

[Xiao Hui just had a video call with Rui Zhao. Xiao Hui is very happy.]

[I am really sorry to bother you this time. I owe you a lot. 】

……Why!

Lao Hua is such a good person, how could he have done such a stupid thing in the first place!

March 2, Qiantang City, China.

Zeng Guangwen, who had just easily defeated the 7th-dan chess player Shen Xiaopeng from the Yuzhou team at home, couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw these three WeChat messages left for him by his friends from the same class after getting his phone back after the game.

--Yes.

The reason why Qu Hui was able to have a brief video call with Rui Zhao this time was because of her relationship with Zeng Shabao.

This time when Rui Zhao defeated Liu Shixian in the Nongshim Cup, the most embarrassed person was Bai Yinhua - Bai Yinhua said this herself if Rui Zhao defeated Liu Shixian, he would bring Qu Hui to see her.

Although many adults often like to fool children about such boomerang moments, Bai Yinhua, as someone who once learned chess, understands very well the principle of not regretting a move.

So without further ado, he gritted his teeth and began to plan how to take his little student to see Rui Zhao.

But because the school was about to start, it was a bit absurd to ask Xiaohui to take a special leave to look for Rui Zhao, so Bai Yinhua took two steps:
On the one hand, he promised Qu Hui that he would take her to see Rui Zhao during the summer vacation.

On the other hand, he shamelessly contacted his former good friend, Zeng Guangwen, the Sky-Howling Dog under the Queen of Heaven, hoping that he could help arrange a video meeting with Qu Hui first - he really couldn't bring himself to let Bai Yinhua go directly to Rui Zhao.

However, faced with Bai Yinhua's request, Zeng Shabao was suddenly in a dilemma.

To be honest, Zeng Guangwen has always attached great importance to the loyalty among brothers of the same class - otherwise he would not have helped Geng Zhizhen secretly increase the strength of his master.

But you have to know who Bai Yinhua is!
A recognized scum in the professional chess world! The villain that his master personally dealt with before he was promoted to Dan!

After that incident, he did not kick Bai Yinhua out of the WeChat group of the same class, but he, as the group owner, showed mercy.

If he were to continue helping Lao Hua to get close to his master, the Queen might start to suspect that his loyalty was not absolute!

So, after receiving the request from his class friend, Zeng Guangwen struggled for several days. Finally, he took advantage of the good news yesterday that [Female Celebrity] was upgraded to [Zhaojun] and his master was probably in a good mood, and Zeng Guangwen tremblingly mentioned this matter to Rui Zhao tentatively. Unexpectedly, Rui Zhao agreed on the spot!
This made Zeng Xigou sigh: facing a huge prize of millions, even his own master could not remain completely indifferent, and he could even negotiate with Lao Hua when he came to get close to him!
And as he just received these three WeChat messages, Zeng Shabao knew that the matter had come to an end.

After taking a long breath, Zeng Xigou also moved his nimble hands and quickly typed on the screen:
[Hey, what are you thanking us for?]

[But Lao Hua, why are you doing this now? ]

[You don't know how bad these so-called high-level players are now. Even I can kill them in the playoffs! ]

[Look, I won again today! ]

[I am starting to worry whether someone will poach me after the Weiqi League playoffs this year! ]

[Even a newbie like me is in this state, let alone you! ]

[You should write an apology letter to the association and admit your mistakes. Chairman Shang and Vice Chairman Lu are very nice people. Even if they don't want you to rejoin the professional team, it would be good to find a job as a coach or sparring partner. It's better than selling breakfast in your hometown!]

However, just a few seconds after Zeng Guangwen sent this message, he received a reply from the other side:

[Not really. I also have my own self-esteem.]

[People who are good at playing Go are naturally smart and hardworking, and they can live well even without playing Go! ]

[This matter...I want to prove it to her after all.]

[Also, Lao Zeng, don't underestimate yourself. You have obviously improved a lot recently. Stop pretending to be a noob! ]

Oh, what does it mean to pretend to be a dish?

It’s all brought out by these high-end parallel imports, okay!

Zeng Guangwen squeezed his lips and was about to continue replying, but someone patted him on the shoulder from behind and asked, "Zeng Guangwen, why are you still here?
"Didn't you say that after the game you should go to the official live broadcast room to accept an interview? Fan Ying has been waiting for you for quite some time!"

Zeng Guangwen looked back and saw who else it was but coach Xie Minghe!

"...Oh! I'll go right away, right away!"

Zeng Guangwen did not dare to neglect the coach's instructions. He immediately put away his phone and rushed to the live broadcast room.

However, just as he arrived at the live broadcast room, the Qiantang women's team's main player, Fan Ying, the fifth dan commentator of this game, gave him an opening thunderbolt:
"Congratulations on reaching the eighth dan level! You won another game today!"

...What? Zeng 8th Dan?

Zeng Guangwen, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.

No! Although I was a substitute every day before, I am still a high-level chess player!
Even though I exaggerated, I got my rank wrong... I really did a terrible job on this assignment!

Zeng Guangwen immediately corrected:

"Hey, Miss Fan! Don't mess with me! I'm a seventh level player!
"Have you forgotten that I was once labeled as the 'worst seventh dan' for a while?
"I think my position should be very recognizable!"

Zeng Guangwen thought that what he said was very well-spoken.

Correcting other people's mistakes by making fun of yourself is a sign of high emotional intelligence.

However, after hearing this, Fan Ying blinked and froze, seemingly not being attracted by his sense of humor at all:
"……ah?!
"But you just reached level 8? You got it in the second game!

"Your winning rate in the various qualifiers and the Weiqi League has been quite high recently, and you were on the verge of being promoted to a higher rank when the regular season ended. The game you just won against Shen Xiaopeng was your tribulation-crossing game!

"Could it be...

"Don't you know this yourself?!"

"...

"……Eh?!"

...

...

At 6:50 p.m. on the same day, the second round of the playoffs of this year's Weiqi League was over.

With the main player on the stage, Xiong Siyi, who had recently recovered his form, defeated Dai Gong in a narrow victory. The Qiantang team, which was missing its general Ni Jue, eliminated the Yuzhou team with a total score of 5 to 3 in two rounds and advanced to the semi-finals of the championship group!
Among them, Zeng Guangwen, who won two consecutive victories in this round, was the absolute hero of the team. He also successfully advanced to the eighth dan with this victory!
It’s just that his bewildered expression after returning to the live broadcast room and finding out that he had been promoted to the eighth rank was so hilarious that he quickly became more popular than his promotion to the eighth rank itself.

Zhao fans have always had a strong interest in teasing Zeng Gou. Zhao haters also took this opportunity to drag Rui Zhao down, and made an emoticon package with Zeng Guangwen's expression and the text "Marunola! I, the worst 7th level, was promoted to 8th level before my master!", which instantly became popular in various community forums.

The two major groups of Zhao fans and Zhao haters serve Zeng Xigou alone. Is this level of popularity not enough?
Zeng Guangwen, a dog who relied on Rui Zhao's popularity, now has more than one million fans! He is like the third anchor in the chess circle to become popular.

However, although Zeng Guangwen's incident made the championship group playoffs quite lively, in fact, in terms of the competition alone, the relegation group was the place that everyone was really paying attention to.

As for why...

That is the contemporary Zhaojun who has been gaining popularity and controversy recently, and is about to appear in the third and final round of the relegation group playoffs!

As a result, the question of who will be the opponent of Queen Zhaotian in the end has attracted a lot of attention from both inside and outside the circle! Even the chess association was surprised by the number of viewers of the relegation group!

In the end, after eight hard-fought games, the Qiannan team defeated the Bincheng team 5-3 through bold and successful horse racing tactics on the main stage, pushing the opponent to the brink of relegation.

As a result, the opponent that Pohu team, where Queen Zhao Tian is, will face in the relegation battle is also determined:
February 2th, the first game of the third round of the playoffs.

The Pohu team will soon face the Bincheng team led by South Korean general Park Min-yeol at home.
