"Dear fans of the Queen, take a look! Take a look!
"What does 'hard work pays off' mean? What does 'thoughtful thoughts will surely have a result' mean?
"When I lost to Xiao Chu, I really felt like the sky was falling! My mind was filled with the old saying:

"The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants... uh...

"No! It seems that this sentence is not used in this way!
"Ah! Anyway! At that time, I was completely unloyal and felt deeply guilty for my incompetence.

“But despite all the difficulties, I almost lost hope, but it was the encouragement from the Queen that gave me the courage to keep going!

"At that time, I just thought that even if I couldn't make the final list, I would still take down all the people who might threaten the queen's qualification, and I would do my best until my death!
“But I didn’t expect it!
"What does it mean to 'God will not let down those who work hard'? What does it mean to 'survive after risking one's life'?
“Sincerity can move metal and stone!

"Thanks to all the Queen's loyal fans for their support, I, Zeng Guangwen, can now serve the Queen and go to the Asian Games with her!

"Please rest assured, all my loyal fans, I will definitely be a good punching bag for the Queen there and do my best for her!

"If you live, you should die with your head chopped off; if you die, you should be buried in the grass. This is

"Ah! Thank you, Admiral, for being the chief dog breeder of the Queen! Thank you very much..."

……

"Uh……

"This Zeng Xigou made it to the final list. Is it necessary to be so proud?..."

At 6pm on June 23, inside the Tongge Building of Tongge Hotel.

Looking at Zeng Guangwen, who was squatting in a corner of the building and looking at the live broadcast camera on his mobile phone with a beaming face, Xiao Chu Jiudan's expression was quite complicated for a moment. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Ji Qiujuan who was also watching this "wonderful performance" and said:

"Brother Qiu Juan...why did you let Zeng Gou in?

"If you want to guarantee the gold medal, you should choose a stronger player even as a substitute, right?!"

"It's not what I wanted to release!"

Ji Qiujuan shook his head helplessly:

"I didn't actually release water today, it was just normal...

“But in this final round, I felt Zeng Guangwen’s fighting spirit and energy were obviously better than mine, and it was really a bit overwhelming.

"And Chu Jun, to be honest...

"Zeng Guangwen... is already quite strong!"

"Well……"

Although he still felt somewhat unwilling, Xiao Chu Jiudan had nothing to refute regarding Ji Qiujuan's statement.

Now Zeng Shabao's rating is among the top ten in China! How many people in the world can say that he is weak? !

However, seeing this comedian whom he had defeated in the second stage qualifying and shaking his tail like crazy to ask for bones, Chu Jun, who attached great importance to this second stage preliminaries, felt somewhat unwilling.

But there is nothing we can do...

It’s my fault that I lost to Hen Ge in the last round!
Thinking of this, Chu Jun couldn't help but sigh.

However, just as he was about to calm down and prepare for the upcoming Tongge Cup qualifiers, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind!

"Hey! It's just that we didn't qualify!

"You little glasses, why do you have to look so sad!"

Hearing this voice, Chu Jun knew it was his "comrade-in-arms", so he could only smile bitterly and turn around and say:

"This is inevitable! After all, they are ranked in the top two and will advance to the next round. Not only in the team competition, but also in the individual competition, there is an 80% chance that they will get two places.

"In the end... I didn't even get a spot in the team competition. It's a bit...

"……Um."

"Oh! If you say that, then what am I?
"Don't even mention the second stage preliminaries, we haven't even gotten to level nine yet!"

The little witch patted Chu Jun's shoulder again and said:
"Didn't you always say that in order to fight against these 'monsters' for a long time, you need to learn to enlighten yourself? How come you can't do it now?
"Tomorrow you should have a good rest and watch my performance!"

Due to the tight schedule, the Chinese preliminaries of this Tongge Cup will be held tomorrow. Therefore, all the chess players who came to participate in the preliminaries arrived at the Tongge Hotel today.

But it would be a bit too much to ask the players who just participated in the second stage of the Asian Games preliminaries to participate in the preliminaries immediately. Therefore, the association arranged a bye in the first round of the group for several players who need to fight continuously, and they need to play the day after tomorrow, which is considered to be a bit of consideration.

"You seem very confident..."

Seeing that his "comrade-in-arms" who had been gloating and teasing him before the first match of the second stage now came to comfort him, Chu Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he did feel better:
"You are only one game away from reaching level nine this time, so don't let me down!"

"Do not worry!"

Yang Manjing said with a firm gaze:

"Rui Zhao has been the center of attention lately, but I've been holding back a lot of energy!

"Don't be so unlucky! See you in the main competition!"

...

...

"Yang Manjing 9th Dan, I'm glad to call you that!

"Congratulations on defeating Geng Zhizhen, 7th dan, in the third round of the open 12 groups today, and being promoted to 9th dan through the points of the third responsible game! You are also the fourth female 9th dan in Chinese history and the second female 9th dan since the new century!
"Moreover, you were promoted to ninth dan at the age of nineteen, making you the youngest of the four female ninth dans!
“How do you feel about having just accomplished this feat?”

"Ah, I'm happy after all!
“After all, the three female chess players who have achieved the ninth dan, Wu Yueyun, Feng Yun and Rui Zhao, are all very, very good. I feel very honored to join this group!

“But to be honest, I wouldn’t say I’m very excited.

“What I feel more now is a desire to prove myself.

“You know, the other three women’s 9th dan all won their promotions in unlimited tournaments, and a lot of my promotion points came from women’s tournaments, which are somewhat less valuable.

“And I am participating in the open group preliminaries this time for this reason.

"The outstanding results that Rui Zhao 9th Dan has achieved in the unlimited competition arena are enough to prove that the talent of female chess players is no worse than that of male players.

"And I will naturally learn from others' experience and strive to make some contributions to correcting the prejudice against female chess players..."

……

"...Ha! It's obvious that female chess players have never won a world championship, and you still have the nerve to say that 'female chess players are no less talented than male players'...

"How shameless of you to say that!" "Wait until next year's Rookie of the Year Contest, and I'll blow your head off!"

At 6pm on June 27, at Tongge Hotel, next to the media interview area on the first floor of Tongge Building.

Looking at Yang Manjing who was surrounded by the media and being interviewed not far away, Nie Yunyi, who had just finished the third round of preliminaries, felt quite indignant.

As for why this little conspicuous bag is so unhappy... there are mainly two.

First of all, it is naturally because he and his idol have been repeatedly abused by a certain "female devil" recently, and their faces are almost swollen!
Therefore, seeing that the witch lady who made him win the Rookie King Contest for two consecutive years was receiving so much attention, he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

And the second reason... is that at the same time as the little witch was promoted, Nie Yunyi, who had just defeated Tong Shaoben, who was 7th dan, was also promoted to 6th dan.

But his six promotions were made in silence. No one except the media reporters and his parents congratulated him, which made the boy feel quite depressed.
"Wow... I've even reached the sixth dan! And it was in the first responsible bureau!

“No one came to congratulate me!

"Even Brother Ruixin didn't..."

But just as Xiao Nie Liuduan was pouting and feeling sad, the cell phone in his hand suddenly vibrated - someone was calling him!
Ah! I told you that Brother Ruixin would never forget me, his die-hard fan!

Nie Yunyi was delighted and quickly took out his mobile phone, only to find that the caller was not Lin Ruixin, but an unfamiliar Dongjiang number.

Xiao Nie, who was originally very happy, suddenly became visibly depressed, then he sighed softly and answered the phone unhappily:

"Hey! Who is this?"

"Ah... hello Nie Yunyi!

"I'm Rui Zhao."

"Rui, Rui Zhao?!!!"

After hearing the other party's voice, perhaps because of the "sudden attack" by the opponent, Nie Yunyi's cheeks suddenly turned red and he looked very panicked:
"Why did you call me suddenly?!
"Oh no! How did you get my phone number?!"

But as soon as he said this, Xiao Nie Liudan realized that he had made a fool of himself!
My main general is the other side's senior brother. It would be a miracle if the other side can't get my phone number!

"what……

"There's always a way to get the phone number~"

Zhao Hanhan, who had made some progress in his social skills, at least did not sell out his senior brother right away:
"As for why I called...

"Of course, congratulations to Nie Yunyi on your promotion!

"Congratulations! You will be the sixth dan from now on!"

"Eh?!"

Xiao Nie, who had been speaking in a fierce tone, was stunned when he heard this and was speechless for a long time.

that……

That female devil actually remembered my promotion? !

It was clear that she didn't even know my ranking and recent performance before!

No, no, right? !
Could it be that she...

Are you really starting to understand me lately?!

For some reason, when Nie Yunyi heard this, he suddenly felt surprised and happy, as if he was a little elated.

It was not until Rui Zhao heard no sound for a long time and began to ask tentatively, "Nie Yunyi? Are you still listening?" that Nie Xianyan suddenly woke up and hurriedly replied:

"Don't, don't think you can please me by congratulating me on my promotion!

“You wait in this tournament!

"Just like what I told Brother Sun to tell you last time! If we meet this time, I will definitely eat up half of your chess game!"

But after saying these words with great momentum, Nie Yunyi suddenly felt a little regretful!

……Oops!
What am I saying? ! !

Although, although this Rui Zhao had done many wrong things in the past, he was indeed beautiful and played chess very pleasingly...

At least she showed goodwill this time. Was it too disrespectful of me to say this?
But just as Little Nie was racking his brains to think about how to smooth over these harsh words, he heard Rui Zhao on the other side quickly respond:

"I see!
"Then I'll wait for you in this tournament!"

Hearing this, Nie Yunyi was stunned again.

what? !

She...is not angry?!

Even... he said he would wait for me in this tournament? ! !
Yes, does she also think that I have made great progress recently, so she is very optimistic about me?

When he thought that the contemporary Zhaojun, who seemed to be called a goddess by the Japanese, would actually look up to him, Nie Yunyi, who had never been favored by the opposite sex, suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

But even though he was happy in his heart, it was impossible for a teenager of this age to show any sign of submission:
"OK!

"I will definitely come to this tournament to find you this time!"

...

...

But unfortunately...this time, Xiao Nie's 6th dan's bold words could not be realized.

The next day, July 6st.

In the last round of the Tongge Cup Chinese qualifiers, Nie Yunyi, 6th dan, failed to unleash his inner strength against Zeng Guangwen, the Sky-roaring Dog under the Queen of Heaven, and was easily defeated by the dog, missing out on the tournament.

After the game, Nie Yunyi was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling as aggrieved as a kitten that had just been abandoned by its owner. However, for now, no one would pay too much attention to these minor incidents.

With the Chinese qualifiers all over, everyone's attention naturally turned to the main competition that was about to begin.

The third "Tongge Cup" World Go Open will be held the day after tomorrow, that is, on June 6th...

Official opening. (End of this chapter)
