"Uh, Sister An An...

"Although, I know today's game is very important...

"But is it necessary for you to come all the way from Dongjiang?"

April 4th is the day for the Spring Orchid Cup quarterfinals.

It’s twelve o’clock noon that day, at Hailing Hotel, Hailing City.

Hua Ran, third dan, looked at Ai Jianan sitting in front of the temporary studio of [Go Xiaozhao], looking flustered, and couldn't help but ask.

However, after hearing this, Miss Ai, who had rushed to Hailing from Dongjiang early yesterday morning and was very busy at the moment, could not help but sighed softly, then raised her head and taught:

"Ran Ran! The fact that you asked this question shows that you don't know how important this game of chess is!

“This is almost becoming a national level competition, okay!!

"Originally, because of some recent events, the two groups online, those who support Xiao Zhao and those who criticize Xiao Zhao, have been arguing fiercely.

"Although Xiao Zhao won two games in a row in the Spring Orchid Cup this time, which greatly dampened the opponent's arrogance, this time she met Lin Ruixin, who had an old grudge against her, and the entire public opinion became irritated all of a sudden!

"Originally, people who only recently knew about Xiao Zhao didn't know much about her previous feud with Lin Ruixin. But because Lin Ruixin's fans kept posting things like 'I'll abuse her every time I see her', it seems that now anyone who knows Xiao Zhao knows that this game is about feuds!
“Not only did CCTV-5 decide to broadcast the entire mid-gate confrontation of this level live, Chairman Shang even grabbed Empress Liu, who originally only wanted to watch the game, to be the commentator on the live broadcast!

"You said it's such a big event. If there is any public opinion, I will definitely do the public relations myself as soon as possible!"

“Is that so?”

"of course!

"Especially since Lin Ruixin is stronger than Xiao Zhao and we are likely to lose this game, I have to be even more prepared!"

Seeing Hua Ran's slow realization, Ai Jianan couldn't help but explain a few more words:
"But as long as I don't lose too much, I have already prepared a backup plan. I will try to minimize the impact, so it won't be a big problem!
"The only thing I'm a little worried about is that Xiao Zhao might overdo it in the middle game and end up losing miserably. That would be a headache. I have to control the public relations direction immediately based on the specific situation... Do you understand?"

"Ahh, I understand!"

Seeing that Ai Jianan was speaking very quickly, and it was obvious that she was in a hurry, Hua Ran also quickly expressed his understanding.

However, after responding, Ran Ran suddenly remembered something and quickly asked:
"Well, Sister An An!

"What would happen if Lin Ruixin lost?"

"…Lin Ruixin lost?"

Miss Ai, who was always careful in her work, was stunned on the spot.

It seemed as if she had never thought that there would be such a rich battle to fight.

But since Hua Ran asked, there was no reason for her to avoid the question:
"If Chess Master Lin loses this game...

"Then he will die without a burial place!"

...

...

"……Depend on!

"You bunch of brainless fans, why are you constantly saying 'I'll abuse you every time I see you'!!!

"Are you worried that I'm under too little pressure?!"

At 12:55 p.m. on the same day, at the entrance of the chess room of Hailing Hotel.

Before putting his phone away, Lin Ruixin habitually glanced at the public opinion on the Internet, but all he got was a wave of anxiety.

During the day and a half after the draw, chess master Lin could be said to have been extremely tormented.

Losing in the World Championships is not scary, after all, he has lost many times in the World Championships in recent years.

But if the female chess player whom he had ridiculed countless times won in the World Championship, it would be a complete loss of face!

For the well-known chess master Lin, losing face is more terrible than losing the game, and it is absolutely unacceptable - not to mention that it is very likely that he will lose the game while being embarrassed!

At this moment, Lin Ruixin couldn't help but once again regret his impulsive words in the fan group.

If it weren't for the phrase "I'll bully you every time I see you", perhaps he would still have some room to defend himself and save his face after losing the game.

But no matter how much you regret, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

At this point, the only option before him was to win the game, there was no other way!

Thinking of this, the great chess master Lin put away his mobile phone, and after passing the security check, he strode into the game room and came to his game table.

His opponent had already taken his position by this time, quietly waiting for the start of this key battle.

...Have we arrived yet?

Lin Ruixin said this in his heart while sizing up the young "black fan leader" in front of him.

In today's highly anticipated competition, although Rui Zhao still did not wear any makeup, it was obvious that someone had carefully chosen her clothes.

She was wearing a red and white suit with slight elements of ancient Chinese style. The pure white background of the top was dotted with delicate pink pleats and exquisite lace, like a flower blooming in the morning dew light, pure and elegant.

The color of her long skirt changes from pure white to pink, just like a peach blossom forest in the early morning light. A dark belt tightly holds the figure of the most beautiful woman in the Chinese chess world, creating a beautiful sense of arrangement that makes people unable to look away.

The reincarnation of Concubine Zhaojun is worthy of her reputation!
But... this is not the most admirable thing about the person in front of me.

If any female celebrity wore this dress, it would look beautiful, but it would hardly leave a deep impression on people. However, this is not the case with Rui Zhao.

The outstanding temperament condensed from the long-term game of chess makes her look charming but dignified!
At this moment, Rui Zhao was like a peerless queen sitting in the hall, quietly waiting for her challenger. This made the reigning Go Saint, who should be the number one Go player in China, seem to be half a head shorter!
This little stinky chess player...

When did he become like this!

Lin Ruixin narrowed his eyes, and his mood couldn't help but drop a little. Then he sat down in silence.

Normally, if two chess players from their own country are playing against each other, they will usually chat for a while.

But at this time, neither of them had any interest in talking to each other.

Rui Zhao didn't like to talk much with people he didn't know well, and Lin Ruixin didn't have the slightest mood to play verbal offensive. Now every taunt he made could become a weapon that the opponent would throw back after the game, so the great chess master Lin would naturally not be stupid enough to give his opponent more ammunition.

The silent atmosphere lasted until the last two minutes, until the referee announced the start of the guessing game, and then the two began to guess the game without saying a word.

The final result made Lin Ruixin feel even more depressed - Rui Zhao guessed the white chess piece.

Everything seemed to be heading towards the result he least wanted to see...

But just when Lin Ruixin felt that something was wrong, Rui Zhao's clear voice rang out without warning before the game officially started:
“Lin the Chess Master.

"There is something...I may need to explain it to you before the game."

"Ok?"

Seeing Lin Ruixin frown and shift his gaze over, Rui Zhao continued calmly:

"My senior brother, Master Ni Jue, said that during the last Chess Saint Tournament, you took something from him without his consent. He still remembers this incident and has always wanted to argue with you, Chess Saint Lin, but unfortunately he has not been able to do so for a long time.

"It was so hard to meet in the Dragon Star Tournament, but I was on a heavy mission at the time and couldn't do my best. Senior Brother Ni still regrets that he couldn't fight with Chess Master Lin with all his strength.

"He feels that it is not a good idea to keep dragging things out like this. So today he asked me to ask you, Chess Master Lin, for some advice."

"……Oh!

"You're such a nice guy for reminding me in advance!"

Lin Ruixin did not make any rebuttal to this not-unexpected statement, but just sneered and said something sarcastically.

For him, many things are done and there is no need to waste time talking nonsense in front of the parties involved.

The victory or loss of this game of chess is more important than a thousand words!

“… Then, come on!
"Let me see how much you have improved in the past two years, you little chess loser!"

After Lin Ruixin said this, the referee officially announced the start of the game.

The first official competition between the reigning chess master and the contemporary Concubine Zhaojun begins now!
...

...

"Open with a small eye and a star small eye, then jump to the upper left to defend the corner...

"There is another high room on the upper right..."

Ten minutes later, Dongjiang City Wendao Go Club.

Yu Qingguang, who was watching chess with his two old friends as usual today, took a quick look at the opening and then commented:

"Lin Ruixin's layout today is relatively rare!"

"This is normal."

Li Wangyuan on the side said he was not surprised.

"Lin Ruixin should have expected Rui Zhao to attack him, so he would be willing to use less common variations to avoid getting involved in Xiao Ni's flying knife research.

"In the past, when they knew that Xiao Ni was likely to use his sword, many opponents would do the same...

"It's a pity. If Xiao Ni's flying knives were really that easy to dodge, he wouldn't have won the title of [Celebrity] for six consecutive years."

"Then I'll wait and see today!"

Lei Jingming seemed very excited when he heard that Lin Ruixin, who had tripped up his son, was going to be stabbed by his beloved student.

"Although I didn't say anything more before, I still remember that Lin Ruixin forced me to leave the team!"

"But...Ni Jue really loves this junior sister!"

At this time, Yu Qingguang interrupted with a complicated tone:
"Obviously, Xiao Lei and Rui Zhao had no intention of competing with Lin Ruixin for this, but he was trying to defend himself!

"In order to save flying knives, he didn't even struggle in Tianyuan Zhan and went into battle empty-handed! As a result, he was willing to let Rui Zhao use up one in this game of chess..."

"Xiao Ni... you've finally come to terms with it!"

Li Wangyuan sighed meaningfully and was about to talk more when he heard Lei Jingming beside him suddenly exclaim:
"Oh, Lao Li, something's wrong!

"Didn't Rui Zhao want to kill Lin Ruixin today? Why is it that White's winning rate is dropping while he's playing?"

"ah?!!"

Yu Qingguang was also shocked when he heard this and hurriedly looked back at the chess game.

As the white chess piece fell in the 22nd move, the winning rate suddenly dropped by points!

This was already a huge mistake in the early layout stage with only twenty moves at the beginning!

However, when Li Wangyuan saw the chess game, his reaction was different from that of his two old friends:

"Hey, don't scare me!
"It almost made me think something really happened!"

"Ouch! How come nothing happened?"

Seeing Li Wangyuan looking relieved, Lei Jingming couldn't help but said anxiously:

"Aren't flying knives used to ambush people and gain an advantage at the beginning of a game?

"As a result, Rui Zhao's winning rate dropped at the beginning. What should we do?"

"Don't be impatient, Lao Lei!"

Li Wangyuan said calmly:
“From the AI’s perspective, it’s true that the odds of winning this game have dropped.

"But with Lin Ruixin's level, how can he dare to touch AI?

"This knife has many pitfalls!" (End of this chapter)
