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

As time goes by, the autumn temperature slowly drops with the position of the sun.

The mist on the glass curtain wall gathered into a stream, drawing crooked lines of number of points in the reflection of the chessboard. When the dusk seeped into the game room, it seemed as if the cuffs of the two players were stained with the coolness outside the window.

As night falls, the neon lights of the distant buildings blur into blurry blocks of color on the glass curtain walls.

As the chess game was going through its final battle for a piece, the twilight line was sweeping across the large sign on the top floor of the Grand Blue Sky Hotel. The night shift cleaner pushed a metal cart through the corridor, the wheels rubbing against the marble floor made a thin sound like a single official dropping a piece...

At 11:25 pm on November th, in the chess room of the Grand Blue Sky Hotel.

After 271 moves of fierce battle and repeated fights for the breathing space in the upper left corner of the chessboard, the much-anticipated final game of the Chinese Celebrity Tournament has just been concluded.

The reigning celebrity Rui Zhao, playing with black, finally defeated the challenger Lei Qi with a slight advantage of three-quarters of a piece, and successfully defended the title of [Celebrity]!
“…I lost.

"Congratulations on defending your title as a [Celebrity], Rui Zhao."

Even though it has been burned out now, Lei Qi still sent his blessings to his "enemy" as soon as possible after the end.

Xiao Lei knew that he didn't have enough points as early as the 249th move when the black chess eliminated the threat. After finishing all the official moves, he just sorted out his feelings and gave a final explanation for today's long and hard game.

Since Rui Zhao's flying knife was revealed in the opening scene of this game, Lei Qi has been trying his best to avoid the knife and fight back.

The overall tug-of-war and the extremely brain-burning fight for the upper left corner had greatly drained his energy. He felt exhausted now and it was even difficult for him to keep his voice steady and not tremble.

If only... the "flow" state could give rise to a flash of inspiration!

Maybe this way, the final result can be changed...

The young leader, who was trying to support himself sitting with his arms, couldn't help but sigh a little.

Why was it that I could use the chess in the Masters Challenger Final last year, but never again after that?

Even if... the opponent is still her...

but……

It seems there is nothing to regret!

I'm so tired even without using the "flow state". Even if I really have a flash of inspiration, there is a high probability that I won't be able to hold on and will end up failing.

Thinking of this, Lei Qi slowly shook his head.

Rui Zhao, who was gradually exiting the "flow" state, also came out of his thoughts on the chess game. Upon hearing Lei Qi's congratulations, he returned the greeting politely:
"Ah, thank you for your advice..."

But after completing the prescribed movements, Dangshi Zhaojun subconsciously let out a long sigh of relief, revealed an extremely gentle smile and said:
“…However, although I won this game, it was a lucky win!

"Today, I actually prepared a flying knife, but I really didn't expect that you, Lei Qi Jiudan, would hang it at such a high position in the 26th move! It made it impossible for me to perform some of my subsequent preparations! I could only go by my feeling temporarily. In the end, after the upper left position was finalized, I felt that it was basically a - chance."

“…This can’t be considered a fluke!”

Although he was extremely tired and felt a bit frustrated after the defeat, for some reason, when he saw the smile on the face of his beautiful rival, the reigning chess master of China did not feel particularly sad. Instead, he felt a sense of relief:
“Although I also feel that the split between the left and the top is roughly 50-50, I spent much more time than you!

"If there was more time in the second half, I think I could have gained one or two points, and I would have considered closing the gap from the outside, and it would have been a simple win!

"But in the end, I really couldn't figure out the material for the ko, and after hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to choose the complicated move - if I find out that I lost by using the simple move, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Uh... no, not really!"

Rui Zhao was a little surprised when he heard this:

"After all, it's just a game of chess! And I tried my best! You shouldn't be so upset if you lose to me, right?
"Otherwise, according to this statement, my slow chess record against you, Lei Qi Jiudan, before this celebrity match is almost unbearable to watch. How depressed I would be!"

"Uh... that's not what I meant. I just..."

Lei Qi originally planned to explain his enemy's small complaint.

But to be honest, he himself couldn't explain what he was thinking about this old enemy. After thinking about it, he could only smile bitterly and said:

"Ah, forget it! Just think of it as a choice I made based on my own feelings. There's nothing to regret!
"After all, compared to a simple ending, when I am also unable to see clearly, I definitely trust my own inner strength more."

“…Is that so?”

Empress Zhaotian's eyes flickered slightly, and after brewing something for a while, she said cautiously:

"Then I'll just say it straight!"

"Straight talk?"

"Ah."

Rui Zhao nodded, and then said: "If you choose to collect energy directly from the outside at that time, you should be able to win half the goal.

"I roughly calculated that you should have had more materials to rob at that time. In the end, I couldn't defeat the single official robbery. This was a lucky move for me..."

"...

"Do you have to say this now?"

Lei Qi's words were full of helplessness. But Rui Zhao stood out with a sense of righteousness:
"But, but we will eventually get back to the game later!

"If we have to keep it secret, we won't be able to review it properly later!"

But seeing that Lei Qi looked speechless, Xiao Hanhan still asked tentatively in the middle of his words:
"...Uh...or...

"I, I've committed another favoritism accident again?"

"...

“…No, you’re fine!
"I'm too petty!"

Seeing the other party's pitiful appearance, Lei Qi, who originally wanted to complain about the other party's murderous behavior, had no choice but to change the words on his lips:

"In the end, my straight line calculations were not as good as yours. I didn't find the optimal solution, and my practice was not good enough!

"What can I say? You have to win the celebrity match to be qualified to pursue the world's number one... It seems that you are still far away!"

However, Lei Qi originally just wanted to be modest and find a way to save face for what he said after the first game, but he didn't expect Rui Zhao to protest immediately after hearing his words:
"Lei Qi Ninth Stage! You are looking down on me too much!

"I think I'm pretty good with a sword! I've been preparing for this celebrity match for a whole year!

"Although the results of today's flying knife were limited, it may be because I didn't prepare all the contingency plans. But I was able to almost win the knife-drawing game, in my heart...

"You are already the best chess player in the world! Lei Qi 9th Dan!"

...Ah? The most...

The best chess player?!

When these seemingly flattering words came out of the mouth of the contemporary Zhaojun, Lei Qi felt as if his heart skipped a beat.

But when he realized what the other party had said, Lei Qi suddenly felt his entire brain go blank, and he couldn't even utter a word of humility!
"...Lei, Lei Qi 9th stage? Why are you silent?

"Ah! That...

"I really think so! I definitely don't mean to flatter you to boost myself after winning today!

"After all, it's very troublesome to forge a flying knife, so it can't be used often..."

"Ah! I, that's not what I meant..."

Xiao Lei Jiudan, who was hit by a straight ball and was a little bit at a loss, quickly tried to save his face.

How could he not know: with the simple-minded style of the contemporary Zhaojun, she would say almost anything she thought of! She must have thought so when she said that!
But because he knew that the other party must have said this sincerely, Lei Qi didn't know how to respond!
A few humble words? It seems too distant!
Should I just accept the offer? Wouldn't it be too arrogant since I just lost the game? !

Didn't say anything, just nodded? But she said something like that! She had to show some expression!

Although this may not seem like a big deal, why do I always feel like there is something going on!!!

Finally, when Lei Qi felt his face was already red, he tried to control his thoughts and answered carefully, word by word:

“…Thank you!
"But... after you praised me so much after I lost the game, I have to find a way to make myself feel at ease!"

At this point, Lei Qi subconsciously took a deep breath, then readjusted his wandering gaze and said seriously:
“In this LIG Cup, I will defeat Liu Shixian head-on to prove this!
“And you, of course.

"I said, only beating you and becoming the world's number one will make sense to me."

"Ah... I'm so honored!"

Although Zhaojun's smile was a little bit embarrassed, it was still bright and charming:

"But... let me say this first...

"I'm no weaker in the LIG Cup than I am in the Meijin Tournament! You better be careful!"
