Chapter 670 New Generation Ceiling
"Ni Jue, didn't you say that you would invite Rui Zhao to celebrate together tonight?

"Why...are you alone?"

At 11:22 pm on November , in a small private room in the catering department of the Grand Blue Sky Hotel.

Dai Ran looked at the dining table where only his old friend was sitting, feeling a little confused.

The previous celebrity hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully:
"Well……

"Rui Zhao, maybe she needs to take it slow..."

"Huh? What does this mean?"

"literal meaning."

Ni Jue shrugged helplessly, without any of the joy he had just felt when he lost the game today:
"You saw it at the end of the game! That idiot pulled me out of the field to ask about the situation.

"She asked so much, and I couldn't wait to discuss it in detail during dinner to celebrate the success, so I explained my thoughts to her in detail, and then...

“…She was obviously confused.”

"stupid?"

"Correct."

Ni Jue sighed and continued:
“It’s just… he didn’t know how to respond to my words and seemed very confused.

“You can see her at the last awards ceremony today, she looked stupid.

“She wasn’t really prepared for this unexpected title of [celebrity], even…

“…I still have some psychological burden!”

"Psychological burden?"

Dai Ran repeated it, and then asked:
"Do you feel that... you are unworthy of the title of Celebrity because of your flying knife?"

"I guess so."

Ni Jue nodded and said:
"Originally, she felt that there was nothing she couldn't do as long as it was within the rules and she could use my throwing knives to work for me.

"But now that she has become a person who is preparing for her own wedding, she suddenly feels that she is a bit despicable..."

“…I understand.”

After a brief silence, Dai Ran took over the conversation and said:

"She is a girl, and a good chess player. She was not trained as a future leader like Xiao Lei.

"It's not surprising that she finds it hard to accept the heavy burden that she has suddenly shouldered."

"So I comforted her a little and let her calm down..."

Ni Jue simply responded:
"Later... I also plan to call Master and ask him to help persuade him."

Dai Ran nodded:

“Yeah, it’s okay, you can take your time.

"The Celebrity Tournament is over. The domestic and international competitions at the end of the month and the beginning of next month are the second stage of the Nongshim Cup, the last four rounds of the Women's Weiqi League, and the LIG tournament - she doesn't have to participate in any of these.

"Her next appearance will have to wait until the preliminaries of the Yixian Tournament on December 12th!"

"Pre-selection...?"

Ni Jue couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this:

“A celebrity in office actually wants to participate in the qualifiers for other title tournaments… This is the first time I’ve heard of this!

"Even in the past six years, I haven't been in such a bad state."

"No way, she lost too much in the past six months..."

Dai Gong sighed expressionlessly:
"I just calculated the real-time rating. Even though she won so much this time, her rating has only risen to 34th place, which is still far from the top 17!

“Instead of worrying about her rating, you should focus on her rank first!

“When was the last time there was a sitting celebrity with only seven dan?
"She has been at the eighth level for almost a year and a half. It's finally time for her to pass the tribulation in this round of the Masters Tournament. Don't let her fail to adjust her condition and fail at the last moment..."

"Huh? She's going to survive a tribulation?" Ni Jue, who hadn't paid much attention, was a little surprised.

Dai Gong nodded:
"Ok.

"Her average score in the third inning was 67.3, and she was only one inning away from reaching the eighth place."

"Ah, this has really been going on for a long time..."

Ni Jue sighed, but then said confidently:
"It's okay! I believe Rui Zhao will be able to adapt quickly! She is actually a very responsible child towards Go!

"I remember that in July, she met with one of her little fans. She was very happy and excited to play more exciting games for her fans in the future!
"With such a mentality, she will definitely become an excellent role model and idol!"

...

...

"No! What do you mean by 'Rui Zhao is not a true role model or idol'???!"

"Are these people on the Internet blind? They're comparing Rui Zhao to that technical secondary school girl who caused a farce last year???!
"Do these idiots know how difficult it is to overthrow Lei Qi now?"

The next day, at 11 a.m. on November 23, in Bachuan County, Qinguan Province.

Bai Yinhua, who was taking a nap at home, looked at the online comments that his students had just sent him. His blood pressure instantly soared to the sky, and he even couldn't help but swear!
The online comments that made Bai Yinhua so angry... were about Rui Zhao.

Just yesterday, the 2025 China Masters Tournament came to an end. The news that Rui Zhao won the first unlimited national championship as a female chess player made Qu Hui, a die-hard fan of Rui Zhao, very excited!
Bai Yinhua, Qu Hui's first teacher, is also happy to see her student achieve his wish.

But when Xiaohui came to him, her teacher, with a tablet in hand, crying and looking aggrieved this morning, he discovered that some of the public opinions on the Internet were extremely unfriendly to the Chinese celebrity Zhaojun!

Although the Yiguo forum, which has many real chess fans, generally supports Zhao Tianhou, most of the posts are similar to [Celebrity title + ending the Nongshim Cup + reaching the semi-finals of the World Championship! Zhao Tianhou is now the number one female chess player in history, come and argue if you don’t agree! ], [To be fair, even if the flying knife used by Rui Zhao is indeed from Ni Jue, her real strength is probably only at the top ten in the world! ] and other such boasting posts.

However, in comprehensive social media and online communities where the concentration of Go is not high, the situation has been somewhat led astray due to the premeditated and organized pacesetting of the Zhaoheis!

In particular, there are many people with ulterior motives who directly compared Rui Zhao to the female technical secondary school student who caused a big stir last year because of a math competition. They said that both of them achieved their corresponding achievements with the help of others. Some people even directly called Rui Zhao "Go Jumping"!
This made Bai Yinhua, who had just read the relevant post, call it outrageous and curse! He immediately wanted to call up the input method and confront some black fans!
Anyone who understands chess knows that, no matter from which perspective, Rui Zhao has probably begun to surpass Mr. Wu and become the ceiling of the new generation of female chess players!
However, seeing Bai Yinhua so angry, Qu Hui on the side was the calmer one. She quickly pulled the teacher and said:
"Mr. Bai! Calm down!
"Didn't you tell me that good children shouldn't spend their time arguing on the Internet? Why are you preparing to start typing..."

"……Well……"

Bai Yinhua was hit by the boomerang he threw out and was speechless for a while. After a while, he said awkwardly:
"This is not an online argument! I just want to present facts and reason with the other party!

"Xiao Hui, don't listen to the nonsense that the rabble on the Internet say! Your sister Rui Zhao is of course an extremely outstanding top chess player, and she is undoubtedly the number one female chess player in history!
"Although some of her ideas are a bit naive, they are indeed very admirable!"

"Some ideas... a little naive?"

Although Qu Hui nodded vigorously while listening to Bai Yinhua's previous statement, she still tilted her head with a little confusion when she heard this passage.

"Ah this..."

Bai Yinhua realized that he had said something irrelevant in a hurry, and he panicked and explained:
“No, nothing!
"I'm just saying that Sister Ruizhao is a true idealist, someone who has truly gotten rid of vulgar tastes!"

However...even though Bai Yinhua said so, he insisted that he did not completely agree with Rui Zhao!
Although Rui Zhao's achievements are enough to make people admire her, and judging from the last time I saw Rui Zhao in July, her tolerance and understanding are also enough to impress people.

But... in Bai Qianqiduan's opinion, everything must be dealt with based on the facts!
Although Rui Zhao's achievements and words and deeds are admirable, the final analysis shows that the professional Go industry is still too hopeless in this era, and this is completely beyond the control of personal will!

Admiring her and agreeing with her views... those are two different things!

"oh, I understand now!"

Just when Bai Yinhua's thoughts were somewhat scattered, his little student did not notice his teacher's worries. He just nodded vigorously as if comforted, and then asked tentatively as if he was worried:

“Um…Teacher Bai.

"Didn't you say last time... that we were going to Xidu City to take the exam before the New Year?"

"what?

“Yeah…that’s right!”

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Yinhua came to his senses and answered truthfully.

Qu Hui is a child with amazing talent. She has only been studying systematically for less than two years, but she has already obtained the Level 3 certificate and her strength has already reached the Level 4 or above!
The whole school knows that Qu Hui is very good at playing Go. There are only a few adults in the whole county who can beat her!
Therefore, this time Bai Yinhua planned to take Xiaohui to the provincial capital Xidu City during the winter vacation to participate in the promotion competition and get the professional level 4 certificate.

In the future, no matter whether it is for awards or honors, more certificates will always be more weight - not to mention that for a seven-year-old girl, Industry 4 is already a very difficult and valuable certificate to obtain!
"I, I've seen the schedule of the Weiqi League. Sister Rui Zhao came to Xidu to play the last round of the regular season this season! It was the day after the game!
"If I pass the entrance exam and get into the 4th grade, can you take me to the scene to cheer for Sister Rui Zhao?
"That's great. I want to ask how I can become a professional chess player as good as her in the future!"

"……ah?!
"Professional chess player?!!!"

After hearing this, Bai Yinhua was really stunned!
