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

"I didn't play this game well."

Looking at the "old enemy" in front of him, Lei Qi naturally started a conversation and talked about today's defeat:
"I didn't expect Brother Sun to be so difficult! He actually dared to forcefully fight back when the odds were clearly against him!

“When the gap between us kept closing in the end, I felt my mentality was fluctuating.

"As for him...I really didn't make enough preparations. It's what I deserve!"

"That can't be said. Senior Brother Sun is already very strong!"

Rui Zhao answered with certainty:
"Besides, before the game, Senior Brother Sun also did a lot of research on you, Lei Qi Jiudan!

“It’s normal for there to be breakthroughs!

"You don't have to take Lei Qi Jiudan so seriously!"

"But he made a breakthrough, but I didn't..."

Lei Qi sighed lightly and continued:
"Like me... after all, I only won once against Liu Shixian in the semi-finals of the Spring Orchid Cup by playing with white in a single game!

"I won the last Tongge Cup thanks to Zhuang Zheng who helped me stop Liu Shixian. After that, every time I met him in an international competition, I was always the one who was eliminated.

“I felt like I had worked hard enough, but I couldn’t make any further progress, and was even beaten by Brother Sun.

"You're so stupid... before the Spring Orchid Cup semi-finals, you said I was no worse than Liu Shixian!"

“Ah… Actually, in my opinion, you are all very amazing!

"Maybe Liu Jiudan does have more experience!"

Rui Zhao continued to comfort him:
“Moreover, hard work does not necessarily lead to success.

"Like me, until now, haven't I been able to beat you, Lei Qi Jiudan, in a slow chess game?

“I think I’ve tried really hard!”

Lei Qi blinked after hearing this and couldn't help but retort:

"But... you have already won three games in a row against me in fast chess!
"I can clearly feel that we are approaching ..."

"is it?
“So: hard work may not necessarily lead to success, but it will definitely lead to progress!

"And every little bit of progress is the foundation for ultimate success."

Rui Zhao still had a smile on his face:
"Just like before, Lei Qi Jiudan might have had a hard time beating Liu Jiudan even once, but now they've actually fought back and forth! But overall, he still has more experience.

“Victory...maybe next time!

"Speaking of Senior Brother Sun, you, Lei Qi, at least defeated Liu once in last year's Spring Orchid Cup. Senior Brother Sun has no record of winning against the two of you. The best record was 1-2 in the three-game match of the Immortals Tournament last year!

"But... he has also been trying hard to break through!

"In order to beat you, he even sought my advice to improve his shortcomings and make his style more comprehensive - obviously, Teacher Yu did not recommend Senior Brother Sun to do so.

"Including how to deal with you, Lei Qi Jiudan, I have discussed this with him many times! We shared a lot of experiences and opinions with each other! That's why we won today... Hmm?

"Leiqi Jiuduan, why are you looking at me like that?

"...

"...!!!"

At this time, Hanhan finally realized that something was wrong and quickly said:
“No, no!
"I, I just... just... uh... uh..."

At this time, the famous Concubine Zhaojun still tried to make a final excuse.

However, her panicked expression had already betrayed her completely.

The two sides stared at each other for a few seconds, and finally Zhao Hanhan realized that he had once again caused an accident. He was the first to be unable to resist, and apologized with his head down:

"S-Sorry, Lei Qi Jiudan!

"I, I saw that you seemed to be in a bad mood, so I wanted to come and talk to you...but I messed it up again!"

However, when talking about this, Lei Qi, who had a slightly conflicted expression, suddenly burst into laughter.

"fine……

"It is my honor to be specially studied and targeted by you, the famous Zhaojun."

He had been feeling rather gloomy at first, but when he saw his beautiful rival in front of him looking anxious and embarrassed, for some reason his mood improved a lot.

Obviously...what you said was just nonsense!

But listening to her, it just feels different...

perhaps……

Because she herself truly believed and acted this way...

“…Ah, that’s right!
"In that case, let's go find Brother Sun together tonight!"

Lei Qi added:

“In fact, I have done some research on Liu Shixian.

"Even though I can't use it this time, it's better not to waste it."

"……Eh?"

Rui Zhao was obviously a little surprised by Lei Qi's statement:

"Leiqi Jiudan, you...are not angry?"

"Of course I'm not angry."

Lei Qi smiled and responded:
"Do I look like such a petty person?"

"Uh……"

"...Um...could you please not be so hesitant at this moment?

“Even if it’s true, your reaction is very hurtful, okay?!!” “…Ah?!

"S-Sorry! (＞人＜；)"

...

...

"Sun Yi, 9th Dan, first of all, congratulations on entering the three-game finals of this year's Tongge Cup!
"This is also your second consecutive World Championship final after the Sanshuang Cup in April. How do you feel?"

"Ah... still very excited, right?
"For me, who hadn't made it to the finals of the World Championships three months ago, being able to make it to the finals twice in a row is really a pleasant surprise!

"Especially when facing Lei Qi, I had no victory over him for a long time. I only won a small game in the three-game chess match of the Immortals Tournament at the end of last year. This time, I won after a hard fight, which can be regarded as a small breakthrough."

"Okay, and your opponent in the final will be the same as in the Sanshuang Cup, Liu Shixian, the 9th dan, who is now recognized as the world's strongest chess player.

"Liu Shixian 2th Dan is another tough opponent of yours. In the last Sanshuang Cup final, you were shut out 0-, and you didn't see any clear chances at all!

"The last time you beat him was in a U2019 youth competition in 20! I just read the chess forum and some chess fans expressed their disappointment at your final comeback victory over Lei Qi.

"Excuse me, how do you view your long-term inability to defeat Liu Shixian, and the three-game final that will begin tomorrow?"

"Ah... I think it's normal for chess fans to have this idea, right? Because I have never beaten him!
“Including the last time our Huaxia won the World Championship, it also happened to be the Tongge Cup that Lei Qi won last year.

"Since then, all the world championship titles have been won by Liu Shixian, so it is normal for chess fans to expect an end to his continued dominance in the world championships!

"It's only natural for him to have doubts when he sees me going to the finals and it's hard to win against him!
“It’s just… no matter what the results of the previous matches were, chess is played one move at a time.

“Zhuang Zheng was able to eliminate Liu Shixian in the Tongge Cup last year, and Rui Zhao also failed today. I think I may have a chance.

"Please be patient with me, thank you..."

……

"Well……

"Sun Yi, the student who was originally scolded by Old Yu as a 'defective product'... is now more presentable than Yu Hong!"

At 7 o'clock in the evening of July 6, in a room of Tongge Hotel.

After watching the interview video uploaded by the Yiguo platform not long ago, Shang Chaotian couldn't help but praise it out loud:
“I originally thought that being asked such a sharp question by a reporter would at least make him feel embarrassed, even if he could control himself from getting angry.

"Looking at it now... he is a completely different person than he was two years ago!
"It's a pity that he didn't seize the window of opportunity before Xiao Lei fully grew up. If he had reached his current level two years earlier, he would have won the World Championship long ago!"

“It can’t be helped, Brother Tian.

"Not everyone can think through seemingly simple things as thoroughly as Rui Zhao did so early on."

Lu Wenjie on the side echoed:

“For most of the truths of life, you can only experience them by actually paying the tuition fees.

“It’s just like the famous saying ‘You can’t have both youth and the feeling of youth’ – it means that only after paying the tuition of ‘wasting youth’ can people truly realize the value of youth.

“But…I really admire Rui Zhao.

"She became famous at a young age and is a recognized genius, but she faced some setbacks and didn't think too highly of herself!

"That's because I know she didn't encounter any trouble along the way. Otherwise, I would have to say she's so optimistic that it hurts."

"really.

"When it comes to mentality and resilience...it's hard to say that someone is born good at it."

Shang Chaotian nodded and said:
"Even Choi Myung-ho, the best player in history and recognized as having the best mentality, was beaten by Mr. Wu when he was young and called home to say, 'I don't want to play Go anymore.'

"Sun Yi...it looks like he has finally made it."

"Not only Sun Yi, I think Xiao Lei is also making rapid progress!"

Lu Wenjie smiled and continued:
"When I watched the post-match review today, I felt that he was still trying to remain calm. I was a little worried that the lack of breakthroughs in international competitions in the past year might have an impact on his mentality.

"By the time I wanted to find him to check on the situation, he had already gone with Rui Zhao to help Sun Yi prepare for tomorrow's final!"

"Yeah, he's...fine."

Shang Chaotian smiled and gave a simple but satisfactory evaluation.

But then he changed the subject and asked another question:
"But Wen Jie...

"Do you think Sun Yi has a chance in this final?"

"what……"

Lu Wenjie hesitated for a moment and said truthfully:

"To be honest, if it was a one-game match, I think I still had some chance. But in the final...

"…It's a three-game match."

"That's it..."

Shang Chaotian said without comment:

"really……

"Some things not only depend on personal efforts, but also take into account the course of history!"

...

...

Just as Shang and Lu had judged before the game, the wheel of history slowly moved forward along the ruts, without the slightest intention of being changed by personal will...

The next day, the first game of the final of the third "Tongge Cup" World Go Open ended on the top floor of Tongge Building.

In the end, Sun Yi, who played black, resigned after only 164 moves. At the end of the game, the AI ​​predicted a huge difference in points between the two sides...

...A total of seventy points! (End of this chapter)
