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

Before we knew it, the moon had waxed and waned twice.

The heat of midsummer gradually faded, the sky began to show a high and clear blue, the sun was still bright, but no longer scorching, and the breeze was slightly cool.

Time quickly came to September 9th.

It was a day with pleasant weather. Although the leaves on both sides of the southern road had not yet turned from green to golden yellow, the suitable temperature and humidity still heralded the arrival of a new season.

At 4:50 p.m. that day, at Dongjiang Chess Academy in Dongjiang City.

In the sixth round of the regular season of the Weiqi League, the Dajing team challenged the Dongjiang team away and the battle for the main general had just ended.

Lei Qi, playing with black, successfully defeated Zhuang Zheng, continuing his undefeated record so far this season. He is also one of the only two undefeated main players in this season's Weiqi League.

It has to be said that in the past two months, China's young leaders have continued to perform strongly.

Not only did he successfully secure a spot in the Nongshim Cup qualifiers in mid-July, his prize money also soared all the way up the prize money list, now surpassing second place Sun Yi by more than a million!
With only one world championship left this year, the LIG Cup, such a huge lead can be said to have already secured a spot in the world's strongest chess player competition in advance!

But even so, it was still difficult for Lei Qi to say how happy he was at this moment. He just competed and trained as usual, trying to give a better performance, that was all.

However, when he walked to the rest area for the players and saw a familiar figure, he was still a little surprised:
"……dad?!
"Didn't you say you don't have to come? I can take the subway back by myself."

Yes, at this moment Lei Jingming was sitting in the player rest area of ​​the Dajing team, apparently waiting for his son!
Seeing his son's triumphant return, Old Lei Jiudan was naturally all smiles:
"Well, today is Saturday, so there's not much traffic, and I have nothing to do, so I'll just come pick you up!"

"If you have nothing else to do, just go and help our lousy army train! The first quarterly competition will begin on October 1st!

"We can't waste the 300,000 yuan sponsorship fee!"

Lei Qi's tone revealed a lot of helplessness:
"The Zhaomiao Cup is different from the Weiqi League! Because there is no such thing as relegation, the playoffs only select the top eight teams in the regular season!

“Only if I get good grades can my mom’s furniture factory get more exposure!

"Don't let it happen that you can't even make it to the playoffs. It would be embarrassing! And you'd get scolded by your mom!"

"No, no! I usually catch them very tightly! It doesn't matter now!
"This time our 'Dongjiang Qinming Pojun' will definitely be able to completely overwhelm his old Yu's 'Muhu Education Wenqu'!"

At this time, Coach Lei of the Po Army was very confident and did have the confidence.

Although the players of the Zhao Miao Cup teams were scattered across the country on days other than the competition, they relied on the Internet to play games and connect with each other. Even though only one of the four players of the Po Jun Army was in Dongjiang, Lei Jingming, who had nothing to do at home, usually kept them busy:

"...I tell you, this is why I wanted to persist in the competition and not teach students earlier!

"If I had brought him here earlier, there wouldn't be any need for him, Old Yu! It would be my students all over the world!"

Lei Qi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and then showed a nonchalant smile:

"Okay! I'll wait and see!

"This is a competition organized by your students. As a teacher, please don't embarrass her!"

"I told you, leave it to me!"

Old Lei Jiudan expressed his determination again, and then pretended to look at Lei Qi casually. Seeing that his son did not seem to be abnormal at all, he continued to talk about the follow-up topic:

"Oh, by the way, son! Regarding the sponsorship fee and extra bonus for the crappy army, your mom thinks it's more appropriate for the two of us to pay for it!
"After all, this team is named after your mother's furniture factory..."

"Stop it first!
"We are all family, why are you two being so polite?"

"But……"

"No buts! If you don't want to affect my mood, then let's do this!"

Lei Qi's words were very certain:
"My annual bonus is the highest in the country, so I can still afford this amount of money! Please don't argue with me!"

"Okay, all up to you!
"Hey, son, what do you want to eat tonight? Dad will buy the food online and have it delivered to you. I'll cook it for you when we get home..."

Hearing his son say this, Lei Jingming no longer dared to insist and quickly started another conversation.

And Lei Qi responded naturally, and everything went on as usual.

Although Lei Jingming carefully concealed his true intentions, Lei Qi thought that his father's thoughts were easy to guess:
He was simply worried that his mood and mentality would be affected by the defeat he had just suffered in Jinzhu City the day before yesterday - when he just got home last night, he clearly felt his father's cautiousness.

However, he also understood that if he wanted to maintain the most basic decency in front of his old enemy, he had to do better - in every aspect.

Therefore, even though he inevitably felt a little unwilling, Xiao Lei Jiudan still acted as usual at this time, patiently doing everything as best as possible.

Even if the current number one is far from the best in history...

It's only one step away.

...

...

"…Okay! Today's press conference on Liu Shixian's championship ends here. Thank you to all the guests and media friends for participating and asking questions!

"At the same time, congratulations again to Liu Shixian 9th Dan for winning his 15th world championship!
"I wish you excellent results in the upcoming Zhongjing Asian Games and win the gold medal in the men's individual event that you missed in the last Qiantang Asian Games!"

"Thank you!"

At the same time, in the auditorium of the South Korean Chess Institute in South Korea’s capital city.

A rather grand press conference is coming to an end.

As the host and the protagonist of this press conference completed the last question and answer session, the "celebration ceremony" held by the South Korean Chess Institute for the world's number one player who won his 15th individual championship in the Miao Family Bailing Cup was officially over.

Liu Shixian politely watched all the media leave, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Then the signature gentle smile on his face slowly faded, giving people a subtle feeling that was different from before.

But when he said goodbye to the staff one by one and was about to leave the auditorium to continue his preparation and training, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance at the side door.

“…Sister Youen?!
"Are you... waiting for me?" The young master of the Liu family was obviously a little surprised at the other party's appearance.

Since being completely crushed by the Chinese celebrity Zhaojun at the Lakeside Cup in May, the Ice Queen has been training and preparing more diligently. Logically, she shouldn't come to such a boring occasion as the "celebration party".

Jin Youen nodded after hearing this, and then showed a rare smile:

"Congratulations, Xiao Liu! You are just one step away from being the best in history!

“From this point of view… the Tongge Cup final is really a pity.

"Otherwise it would be a unique five-time World Championship champion! Who knows how the chess academy would publicize it!"

"Ah...I can't say that!"

Hearing this, Liu Shixian pursed his lips, then gave a small bitter smile and said truthfully:
"If I had won the Tongge Cup by chance, then this time I won the Miao Family Bailing Cup...

"It should be Lei Qi."

Jin Youen was a little surprised: "How... do you mean?"

Liu Shixian said slowly:
“Sister Youen, you saw it too.

"In this final... Lei Qi's performance can actually be said to be no worse than mine! In the first two games, we both won the game in which we played with white.

"In the third game, I was lucky enough to guess the white chess piece again. But even so, Lei Qi also showed an extremely outstanding performance and even reversed the situation at one point!
“The final situation was very subtle. I guess I had a slight advantage in experience.
"If there were any more other factors, I think this final would have been over..."

"But as a chess player, the small advantage brought by guessing first is part of the game."

Jin Youen comforted:

"If you feel that your victory was unfair just because you won under Chinese rules, then you are being too hard on yourself!"

"Ah... I'm not talking about guessing the white chess piece."

Liu Shixian shook his head:

"What I mean is: if I hadn't learned a lesson from the defeat in the Tongge Cup, I would have been thrown into disarray in this Miao Family Bailing Cup."

When Jin Youen heard this, he narrowed his eyes, and seemed to understand what the other party meant.

When the last game of the Tongge Cup final was coming to an end, the mentality of the world's number one player was obviously fluctuating, so that the game that could have been won was quickly lost - this was extremely rare in the past, and it could even be said that it never happened at all!
She knew very early on that although this junior of hers looked polite, he was actually a very free and easy-going person who loved to have fun, and therefore had a very good attitude!

In the Nongshim Cup, she faced Rui Zhao, who was still a female celebrity, and even though she was hit by a flying knife and the opponent played very well, she still managed to turn the situation around, showing her great courage. But in the final round of the Tongge Cup, she quickly collapsed when she still had a chance to win, and it seemed that there was indeed something wrong with her mentality.

From what Liu Shixian said, it seemed that he learned his lesson after the defeat in the Tongge Cup.

And if the Tongge Cup is successfully won, then the Miao Family Bailing Cup finals this time may have a different ending...

Jin Youen pondered for a while, then asked tentatively:

"…Is it because you have reached the stage of competing for the best in history that you have too many concerns?"

"It's not about the so-called 'best in history'..."

Liu Shixian shrugged, gave a small wry smile and said:
"only……

"Seeing everyone in the chess academy working hard for the future always touches me a little bit!"

Hearing this, Jin Youen, who had come here to discuss with Liu Shixian about the upcoming Zhongjing Asian Games, suddenly hesitated whether to continue talking about the topic he originally wanted to talk about.

However, upon seeing this, Liu Shixian comforted Jin Youen:

"Ah, Sister Youen, don't worry! My mentality is my strong point! I'm fine now!

"Doesn't the result of this game explain everything?"

"……really."

Jin Youen thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, at the end of the final round of the Miao family Bailing Cup, the situation was very complicated, and both sides were walking on a tightrope. At that time, the entire South Korean Chess Institute was nervous, fearing that the Tongge Cup drama would be repeated.

However, this time it was Liu Shixian who had the last laugh, which led to today's "celebration party".

Unfortunately, Liu Shixian hadn't finished speaking yet...

“…But Sister Youen, to be honest, I may not be able to hold on for too long!
"In the upcoming LIG Cup, if I face Rui Zhao and Sun Yi, it might be okay, but if I face Lei Qi again...

"I'm afraid I'm only 50 percent sure at best...

"After all, I am still a little lacking in talent!"

"…You're already great, Xiao Liu!"

It has never been the Ice Queen's style to say things that are not true, and at this moment, Jin Youen really felt that her junior did not need to be too pessimistic:

"Besides... in fast chess and extra-second games, you definitely have the advantage!
"As long as you can win the Asian Games and the strongest chess player competition, your career can be considered perfect!"

But who would have thought that after hearing these words, Liu Shixian sighed and said:

“Maybe… this is the case for Lei Qi!

"But you know very well that China...

"But there is more than one Lei Qi!" (End of this chapter)
