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

what……

Did I just... enter the "flow state"?
12:14 pm, December th, Kunchi Resort, South Korea.

After slowly exiting the flow state, the exhausted young leader felt his brain was a little slow for a moment.

...Yeah, that's indeed the feeling.

really……

I was thinking too much before!

The reigning Chinese chess master sighed a little in his heart, and then subconsciously wanted to look up at his "old enemy" and sincerely share with her the joy and happiness at the moment.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized a problem...

Hey, who won the game in the end?

During the competition just now, I was so focused on catching up that I didn’t have time to take a closer look in the end!

When I evaluated myself as a junior official... I felt it was about the same?!
Although he could accept any outcome of this game, Go was a game of winning after all, and even if he wanted to have a good chat with his "old enemy", he had to find out the result first.

Just when Lei Qi was embarrassed, he saw a staff member holding a tablet came forward and confirmed with Rui Zhao:

"After counting by computer, Black won by half a point.

"Rui Zhao, 9th Dan, are you sure about this result?"

...Black wins...by half a point?
It was not until he heard these words that Lei Qi finally confirmed the final result of the game. Even though he was tired, he couldn't help but feel an extra joy in his heart.

Obviously... after being stabbed, he was already in a desperate situation...

And finally won?!

Although it is enjoyable enough to have a full battle with your recognized "rival" in the world championship finals, it would be a more wonderful experience if you can finally make a tenacious comeback after a hard battle.

but……

Rui Zhao, who was being questioned by the staff, looked as if she had not heard anything. The contemporary Zhaojun, who had also exited the "flow", just stared at the board in a daze, like a butterfly sealed in amber, maintaining a frozen posture for a long time. It seemed that she was still immersed in the chess game, and she did not respond for a long time.

When Lei Qi saw this scene, his bright mood was instantly shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Go is a game in which ties are extremely rare, and almost every game has a clear winner and loser.

When someone wins, someone loses.

Although he managed to escape from the sharp flying knife forged by the incumbent celebrity in this round, he was able to turn the tide and regain a city by relying on his better internal strength in the "flow" state.

In contrast, Athena, who played extremely well in the first half of the game, failed after using up another throwing knife, and thus missed the historic record of "the first woman to win the unlimited world championship."

This was undoubtedly a very regrettable defeat for Rui Zhao, who had long vowed to win the world championship and was short of flying knives. No wonder he could not accept this result for a while.

"That... Rui Zhao ninth dan?
"If you don't express any other opinions, we can only regard it as your consent to this result."

Seeing that the current Zhaojun did not respond for a long time, the staff who came to inquire could not help but continue asking.

——This is the procedure. Otherwise, it would be a cause for concern if the results could not be confirmed in time.

Lei Qi's heart sank when he saw this, and the joy that had just risen in his heart disappeared in an instant.

He immediately wanted to answer on behalf of Rui Zhao and said that he hoped to do another inventory of the board to give Rui Zhao more time to sort out his feelings.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the person in question suddenly raised his head and said to him with shining eyes:

"Lei Qi! Your knife has created changes that even AI couldn't have imagined!"

"Eh?

"A change that the AI ​​didn't expect?"

Lei Qi was stunned at first, and then repeated it subconsciously.

"um, yes!"

Seeing that Lei Qi seemed to be still unclear about the situation, Rui Zhao once again gave a very affirmative answer, and then immediately pointed to the lower left side of the chessboard.

"In today's match, you made an 83-hand wrench in the corner. When I was forging this throwing knife, the AI ​​didn't give me any hints at all!
"When I learned about your move today, Lei Qi, I realized that this move not only contains a trap, but it can also help the black piece on the left! It made it impossible for me to be sure of victory!

"You are so amazing! I still have a lot to learn from you, Lei Qi!"

"Y-really?"

Hearing his opponent's extremely sincere and direct praise, Xiao Lei, the ninth dan, felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

But just when he didn't know how to respond, seeing Rui Zhao come back to his senses, the staff member beside him hurriedly came up to confirm again:

“…Um, Rui Zhao ninth dan.

"The computer's count shows that Lei Qi, who plays with black, won by half a point. Do you confirm this result?"

"Well, no problem!" Sister Long, who had just been in a daze, accepted without any hesitation the result of being reversed by half a point after leading almost the entire game.

After acknowledging the defeat in this game very straightforwardly, Rapid Chess Athena immediately turned her attention back to her opponent, smiling brightly, not looking like someone who had the world championship within her grasp and finally lost it:

"I really lost this game of chess. It turns out that I am still far behind you in terms of internal strength!

"Also... the 83rd move was so brilliant!

"It was only when I saw you make this move that I realized that this corner move could actually help the black dragon that was halfway across the chessboard. Only then did I realize that something was wrong.

“Although I haven’t seen the AI’s evaluation yet…but I am very sure that this move is definitely much better than the AI’s recommendation!
"You are truly worthy of being called Lei Qi! This knife is the most proud flying knife I have prepared this time!"

“Ah…Is that so?”

The series of praises made Xiao Lei Jiudan unsure whether he should be modest for a moment, but Rui Zhao nodded vigorously without hesitation again:

"Yeah! That's it!
"To be honest, when I made this move, I thought I might have won the game! But I didn't expect that you, Lei Qi, would come up with such a brilliant solution right on the spot!
"Just like I said the day before yesterday, it is a very, very lucky thing to meet such a great chess player of the same age as you!"

At that time, Zhaojun spoke her inner thoughts without any hesitation, as if in the face of the wonderful game just now, the failure of being reversed by Banmu seemed completely not worth mentioning.

Her eyes were filled with a desire to explore the unknown depths of the endless sea of ​​stars. Her emerald eyes were bright, and her white pupils were like black jade beads on a chessboard, instantly intoxicating and fascinating...

"…Same, Rui Zhao."

In a state of intoxication mixed with exhaustion and fascination, the leader of Hua Xia, who had grown from a young boy to a mature man over the past three and a half years, said sincerely to the beauty of the same age whom he had always regarded as his "enemy":

"It's nice to meet you...

“It is also the greatest luck in my life.”

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Rui Zhao was stunned and looked at the other party with a little surprise.

Until this moment, Lei Qi, who had just been unable to restrain himself, realized that his words were not suitable to be used between "old enemies", and hurriedly tried to smooth things over:

“Uh no… it’s one of them!

“I mean, it’s one of the greatest fortunes of my life!

"Well, well! Whether I can be my parents' child, be Mr. Shang's student, or be a professional chess player and win the world championship, I feel very lucky...

"Including... meeting you."

His voice faded away at the end of his speech, and the young leader still looked at his old enemy evasively.

Even though he thought he had figured everything out during the competition, when he really faced this romantic and pure beauty of the same age, he could only come up with such a lame explanation in his panic.

Fortunately, Silly is Silly.

Rui Zhao was simply a little surprised by Lei Qi's words, and could not taste any hidden emotions from them...

"Ah... Actually, I still don't deserve it!"

The celebrity in office blushed and tilted his head slightly:

"I was able to suppress you, Lei Qi, in the first half mainly because of the flying knives I prepared in advance!
"Otherwise, judging from your performance in the second half of the game, it will be very, very difficult to beat you in a slow game. And I don't have enough flying knives stored now. I don't know if I can use them in the next game..."

“Hey, hey…

"Don't just hand over your secrets to me in this final!"

"Ah! That's right!"

After hearing Lei Qi's speechless complaints, Rui Zhao realized that he seemed to have spoken too quickly again.

But after a small shock, seeing that the matter was settled, the contemporary Zhaojun still scratched her head and said in a relaxed manner:
"Ah, it's alright!
"Anyway, I've already said the wrong thing before, so there's no need to be so formal."

At this point, Rui Zhao raised his eyes slightly and looked at the world champion of the same age whom he had been chasing after since he came to Blue Star, and said very seriously:
“Although I may not be able to use the flying knife in the next game of chess, I will definitely try my best!

"Lei Qi, don't let your guard down!"

Xiao Lei Jiudan was slightly startled, then he also relaxed his expression and responded with the most relaxed smile:
"Of course!
"Who knows whether what you said about 'the flying knife hitting the bottom' is true or not?"

"Of course this is true!

"I never lie to the people I'm close to!"

Rui Zhao said without a word that he was well-behaved and obedient, but after he said it, he seemed to understand Lei Qi's underlying meaning and quickly changed the subject:

"Ah... no, no more talking, let's review it!
"There are many things in the second half of the game that I want to discuss with you, Lei Qi!
"Oh, of course, you can also ask me about this flying knife!
"Except for the AI ​​blind spot you made, which I really didn't notice, I am very confident about the other branch changes!"

"If that's the case... then I won't be polite either!

"I really want to ask you: How can there be a knife hidden in such a remote place?!

"I've put down a lot of cold hands..." (End of this chapter)
