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

Chapter 632 Spring passes and autumn comes
"…Huh? Yu Hong?!"

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is already the 23rd.

At six o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the evening in the south of China seemed particularly pleasant.

Sun Yi, who had just defeated Xiong Siyi and walked out of the chess room, was quite surprised to see his girlfriend still waiting outside the game room.

"Aren't you going to compete in Bianmeng the day after tomorrow? Why are you still here?"

"Hee hee~
"There are still two days left, I want to spend more time with you!"

Liu Yuhong smiled and said:

"My dear monkey, you played a great game of chess today!

"You have a very high winning rate against the Cubs recently, which is completely different from the past two years!"

"Ah, thanks."

Sun Yi simply responded, then laughed at himself and said:

"...Unfortunately, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure!"

"Uh... you just lost a lot to Xiao Lei! Your performance in other areas is still very good! Last month, the Pioneer team won four consecutive games!"

Seeing that her boyfriend was in a bad mood, Liu Yuhong continued to comfort him:
"Besides... your situation is much better than Rui Zhao's! She has lost so many people!"

"Ah, Yu Hong, please stop talking! You're making me feel a little embarrassed!"

The face of the current Yixian could not help but turn slightly red:

"Ever since she only won one and lost four in the King of Kings Tournament, her results have been bad. I even wonder if I passed on the so-called 'strength and weakness detector' to her!
"She was very stable when she was beating weak opponents, but for some reason, she became weird when she met a master, and even made inexplicable mistakes that she had never made before...

"She has three wins and six losses in the Weiqi League so far. She was eliminated in the first round of the National Championship and the top 16 in the Tongge Cup. She even lost to Langzi in the Tongge Cup qualifiers. She was only eligible to play in this tournament because of the wild card obtained by the organizer!
"I just don't understand. Shouldn't she have just won the women's group preliminaries? Why did she have to squeeze into the open group? A bunch of villains gossiped about her, saying that she was completely dependent on the organizers..."

"Ah, I asked her about this when we were together in South Korea in the middle of this month."

The little bird took over and said:
"What she meant was that she really didn't want to play in the women's competition, even if it was the women's qualifiers for the World Championships...

"If it weren't for national honor, she wouldn't even want to play in the Lakeside Cup! In the end, she was quite happy to see me finish the game..."

"Oh... I don't know what to say to her."

Sun Yi shrugged helplessly:

“Her 0-3 record against the Ice Queen has been hanging there for a long time, and some people even started to think that she will throw away [Zhaojun] next month!
“You really don’t care about public opinion at all!

"Oh, by the way! How was Rui Zhao's first round performance?
"I remember she met the prodigal son again this time. Did she succeed in her revenge?"

"what……"

Liu Yuhong sighed helplessly:
"No, she lost again."

Just as Empress Liu said - in the first round of the Changqi Cup held on October 2025, 10, Rui Zhao lost to Lang Haishen and was unfortunately eliminated.

At this time, the 2024 King of Kings Tournament will begin...

Five full months have passed.

...

...

"Brother Lang, congratulations on winning the first battle!"

At 7:30 pm on the same day, in the restaurant of Mida Plaza Hotel in Zhengze City.

Zhuang Zheng used fruit juice instead of wine to toast Lang Haishen, who also won the first round today.

This time, there were only two of them from the Dongjiang team who entered the Changqi Cup, and it was a pleasure for both of them to enter the top 16 after the first round, so they had dinner together in the evening to express their small joy.

After clinking glasses, the two of them took a sip of their drinks, and Zhuang Zheng started talking again:

"I think that people like Dai Gong and Ni Jue are starting to go downhill, but Brother Lang, you are still in the same shape as before!
"He really is worthy of being the youngest record holder in China to win the World Championship!"

"Ah, that's it, neither up nor down."

The prodigal son, who won his first and only world championship at the age of just over sixteen, said this modestly, and his enthusiasm was not too high.

Zhuang Zheng was used to this - although Lang Haishen's nickname was "Prodigal Son", this title corresponded to his style of playing chess, which was often to gamble on solitary pieces and thus seemed very extravagant. In his daily life, he was still low-key and introverted.

However, it was a habit, but Zhuang Zheng was an extrovert, so he kept trying to find topics to talk about:
"Hey, this is your third time beating Rui Zhao this year, right?"

"Well...indeed."

The prodigal son who was asked did a simple calculation and then answered:
"The last round of the Tongge Cup qualifiers, the fifth round of the Weiqi League... and then this time."

"Haha... I guess Coach Shan is in a good mood after seeing you beat Rui Zhao again today!

"He and Lao Lei Jiudan also hold a grudge, and they are just vying for this matter!" Zhuang Zheng couldn't help but tease:
"Last time, after you won against Rui Zhao in the fifth round of the Chinese Weiqi League, Coach Dan was very sarcastic, saying that some players were arrogant after only making it to the top four. This time, he might send a WeChat message to mock Lao Lei the 9th dan!
"However, when the Weiqi League relegation battle just ended, Rui Zhao was the most popular person at that time! Later, when he entered the semi-finals of the Spring Orchid Cup, he was even on par with Mr. Wu. It really shocked me!

"What a pity... Zhongyong was injured later!"

"Shang Zhongyong...?"

Lang Haishen repeated the word the other party had said, and there seemed to be an indescribable meaning in his tone:

"You mean... Rui Zhao?"

"Yes!"

Zhuang Zheng, who was asked this question, felt somewhat puzzled:
"Although her performances in last year's Yingyi Cup and this year's Chunzhilan Cup did show signs of being a future master, once she entered the King of Kings Tournament, it was clear that there was a gap between her and the top players!

"To be honest, as a female chess player, she is already very strong, but it's a pity that she is a girl after all. After all, she is a little bit short...

"After that, she basically didn't achieve any results, and her performance in the Weiqi League is hard to describe.

"Now Chu Jun and the little witch have both reached level eight, but she is still stuck at level seven. Isn't this a case of hurting Zhongyong?"

"But in this Changqi Cup preliminaries, she beat Chu Jun in the final round."

The Prodigal Son answered briefly:
"Moreover, Xiao Chu was suppressed the entire time and didn't stand a chance at all."

"...

“…Is that so?”

After an awkward silence, Zhuang Zheng finally managed to speak.

In fact, Zhuang Zheng had always been somewhat gloating over the Queen Zhaotian's recent dismal performance.

After all, the Dongjiang team was also interested in introducing Rui Zhao at that time. However, Queen Zhao refused to give him any face and insisted on making him the main player. As a member of the Dongjiang team, Zhuang Zheng was somewhat dissatisfied with this attitude.

Because of this, Zhuang Zheng was naturally secretly happy when he saw Rui Zhao's recent poor performance. As the media opinion changed, he began to look down on this top female player in China, thinking that Rui Zhao's previous achievements were just a flash in the pan.

However, Chu Jun, whose performance has improved rapidly recently, still hasn’t defeated Rui Zhao?

Ah this...

While Zhuang Zheng was still a little slow to react, Lang Haishen continued:
"To be honest, Xiaozhuang, I actually admire Rui Zhao a lot!
"After the fifth round of the Chinese Weiqi League, I had a good chat with this fellow villager of mine. We also talked about the story of the "Shang Zhongyong". I told her some of my experiences and encouraged her.

"To be honest, the temptations she faces with her status are extremely huge. Even the slightest thought may cause her grades to decline significantly.

"But in the end, I feel that she has done very well so far: she has been concentrating on practicing chess and has never had the intention of 'visiting people in the town'.

"Even after she lost to me today, she was very active in reviewing the game with me. I didn't see any sign of slacking off or getting frustrated."

"But, her recent performance is indeed poor..."

"That's because she was on the main stage and drew a hard lot. She was just unlucky!"

Lang Haishen answered without hesitation:

"Xiao Lei, Monkey King, Xiao Ji, Yuan Zhu, me, Hen Ge, Le Le, Xiao Li... Which of the people she lost to wasn't ranked in the top ten or just above the top ten?

"Xiao Zhuang, look at her recent schedule and ask yourself: if you were to play a series like this, how much better would your results be than hers?

"And she... is still only twenty years old!"

"Uh……"

For a moment, Zhuang Zheng was speechless.

In today's society, many things are easily guided by public opinion.

As a celebrity who was previously promoted by the government and became very popular, Rui Zhao is naturally surrounded by gossip on the Internet.

Just as many people praised her when she performed well before, so many people will kick her when she performs poorly - anyway, for media opinion, heat and emotion are the most important, and the facts are not important.

But putting aside the essence of many public opinions and analyses outside, he suddenly discovered that this Chinese Zhaojun, who has been controversial because of her declining performance, still seems to have considerable strength!

"...etc., that is to say:

“Rui Zhao just has trouble defeating strong opponents recently, but is his strength still there?
"It's like a weakened version of Monkey King?!"

"Well……

“This statement may not be accurate…”

Lang Haishen pondered for a while and made his own judgment:
"Sun Wu'er, it's true that every time we play against each other, I can't perform above my level, and I can only rely on the opponent to make mistakes. But now Master Liu and Xiao Lei are the kind who rarely make mistakes, so they suppress him.

"As for Rui Zhao, I always feel...

"She doesn't seem to care too much about winning or losing against top players."
