"Well, I give up."

On November 11, inside the chess-playing room of Crowne Plaza Hotel in Oroqen City.

After playing a game that seemed different but was actually not fundamentally different from the first game, Yang Manjing, who played with black, readily admitted defeat.

If the little witch needed time to comfort her shocked and somewhat unconscious brain after losing the last game, then today's game was already like "it's happened once, so there's nothing to be shy about if it happens again."

However, after seeing her own Weiqi champion's delicate face, as calm as a lake, gradually regaining its vitality, she couldn't help but say a few more words:

"Ah... now I know why you always refuse to let me play chess with you when I want to!
"It's indeed a huge gap! I came to you to humiliate myself..."

“…Ah? Not really!”

To comfort her teammates, Empress Zhao Tian, ​​who had already exited her flow state, hurriedly explained:
“It’s just that I really don’t have that much time!

"If I had 48... no, 72 hours in a day, I could definitely make some time for it!"

"..."

Mulan was really speechless about Sister Rui's answer, but she thought about how her own strength was indeed a "bad chess player" in front of her. While secretly encouraging herself to avenge her humiliation, she had no choice but to change the subject:

"...Hey! I won't talk about this!

"But you abused me so badly this time that a bunch of Xiao Ruizhi and your haters on the Internet are all criticizing me for my poor level and my status as a main player in the Weiqi League. It's really giving me a headache..."

“…Ah, ah?!”

The captain of the Pohu team was very surprised when he heard this for the first time:
"Man Jing, you've improved very quickly. You just won two games in the seventh and eighth rounds! What basis do they have for saying that?!"

"..."

Looking at this anchor who obviously has more than five million fans but knows nothing about the trend of the Internet, Yang Manjing fell silent again, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word:
"This...don't worry about it! I just have one small wish!

“Perform better in this Masters Tournament and win against two more top nines, please!
"I beg you to do this!"

"Ahh...Relax, don't worry, Manjing!"

Hearing that this commission was consistent with her own goal, the Chinese Go lady in gorgeous clothes nodded vigorously:

"My goal for this Masters Tournament is to become a title challenger!"

call……

Fortunately, she won more games, she is still very motivated...

Seeing that the other party agreed, the little witch nodded slightly with a hint of relief and said:
"Yes! That's right...

"...

"...Wait?! What did you just say?!
"The first-title-challenger???!!!"

The little witch's voice rose so high that it broke at the end.

...

...

【hehe! 】

[I thought Yang Manjing was so amazing, but she is still a woman after all! Her true colors were exposed when she met Rui Zhao who lost in the unlimited competition! ]

[No wonder the Pohu team is only ranked 13th in the standings. There are two rubbish players on the team, and one of them is the main player! How can this team be good?]

[It seems that Xinbao is right, all female chess players are terrible at chess! ]

[I heard that the little witch wanted to play in the Su Hu men's team, after all, it was close to home. ]

[But the Suhu team saw it clearly, female chess players have no future! Even when training new players, they decisively chose Xiao Nie! ]

[Now it seems that the Suhu team is far-sighted! ]

……

Uh……

Speaking of which, didn’t Nie Yunyi only have two wins and seven losses?
If Monkey King hadn’t done well this year, the situation in Su Hu wouldn’t be much better, right?

At the same time, at Ni Jue's home, the male host had just finished reading a Weibo link shared by an old friend, and the old friend's voice could be heard over the microphone:
"Um, Ni Jue...

"Online...are there often such Go-related rhythms now?"

The Chinese celebrity blinked when he heard this, exhaled softly and replied:

"...Huh? You don't even care about this?"

"Even if I go online occasionally, I mostly browse football forums. You know that."

"Well……

"I thought you were just exaggerating, but I didn't know you really don't care about the affairs of the circle!"

Ni Jue shook his head and then explained:

“Actually…it’s mainly what happened this year.

“Although Lin Ruixin was also quite popular in the past, public opinion has always been one-sided.

"Rui Zhao became famous after defeating Liu Shixian in the Nongshim Cup at the beginning of the year, but he also made many controversial moves, causing fans and haters to quarrel with each other, and the quarrels would go viral from time to time.

"So, our small circle is now able to create some projects that will stir up some controversy in the public opinion!"

"Well, that's a good thing..."

Dai Ran, who was on the microphone, said in a deep voice, which surprised Ni Jue:

"Oh? I thought you, an autistic person, would have an opinion on this!"

"...If two groups of fans of someone like Lin Ruixin were quarreling with each other, I would definitely feel that it was a mess."

Dai Gongzhi replied:
"But... Rui Zhao's case is another matter.

"Although there are inevitably some extremists among her many fans, she is the real hero and there is really nothing wrong with her!"

"Haha, you really understand!"

"A Go player can't be that stupid... uh...

"Except for those who are stunned like Rui Zhao."

Dai Ran added a sentence, suddenly thinking of a counterexample.

Ni Jue smiled and then brought the topic back:

"Okay, let's get back to the topic!
"Old Dai, after watching these two games, what do you think?"

"This girl is really extraordinary!"

Dai Ran said truthfully with emotion:
"To be honest, judging by her current state... I may not be able to defeat her right now.

"Even those top few who are in their prime, I'm afraid she is still a little far behind!"

“…Don’t worry, take your time.

"For now... that's enough."

Ni Jue also simply replied:
"Okay, Old Dai, you do your best in the LIG Cup qualifiers tomorrow, and try to teach Master Liu a lesson next month!
"I'll just take a good rest and wait for Rui Zhao!"

"Oh! I can barely even teach Rui Zhao, let alone Young Master Liu!"

Dai Gongzhi said with a wry smile.

Right now, Dai Ran can only rank 9th, while Ni Jue's ranking has dropped to 21st.

Not only did they miss out on the LIG Cup qualifiers for the top 19 in the rating system (16 people competed for four qualifying spots, last year's runner-up Lei Qi, Sun Yi, and Zhu Yuan were all exempted), but they are no longer eligible for exemptions from many domestic competitions and have to start from the qualifiers.

The two talented chess players of the same generation had both begun to decline irreversibly in the 31st year of their lives and gradually faded out of the top competition.

"This... should be the final three-game title match!"

Ni Jue said with great emotion:
"I hope that I, a six-time champion...

"May I finally win the Masters Tournament once again!" (End of this chapter)
