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

"Uh... not that!
"There's no point in talking about competing for the best in history!"

Seeing that the group chat fell into a strange awkwardness after Bian Lele finished speaking, Long Bo quickly took over the conversation and said:

"She's going to be 22 soon and now she only has one world championship.

“Even if she really becomes a figure of Liu Shixian or Lei Qi’s level in the future, and she and Lei Qi serve as ‘two saints ruling the country’ for a long time, as long as Xiao Lei is around, her speed of winning the championship will not be too outrageous.

"Even if we calculate based on an average of one and a half world championships per year, she will only have twelve or thirteen titles before she turns thirty - and that doesn't even include the fact that she will likely marry into a wealthy family early, get married and have children...

"Anyway, anyway! Don't panic!
“Although the viewpoint raised by the official is worth paying attention to, the sample size is small after all, so there is no need to be too nervous!
"There is only one round left before the Chinese New Year, and then there is the World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament.

"In the last round of the Weiqi League, the Pohu team will face the Jinfen team, which has already been relegated. There are no members from our team in Jinfen. And in the World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament, there will only be one 'Honorary Leader'. At least those of us here don't have to worry too much about Rui Zhao for the time being.

"I think after we finish the last round of Weiqi League, we should go home and celebrate the New Year! During the New Year, we can just watch the progress of the strongest chess player competition, and we will discuss the specific actions after the meeting after the New Year!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the fermented bean curd group, which had been silent just now, immediately responded, and there were many people responding.

For the Chinese, as long as it is not an emergency, no matter how big the problem is, they would rather wait until after the New Year!

“…Hey! Let’s do this for now!”

Seeing that all the members were thinking of returning home, Alliance Leader Bian leaned back in his computer chair and waved his hands helplessly - he had been working hard for several months and now wanted to take a break.

It’s a pity that this year...

The lives of many fermented bean curds may not be very peaceful.

...

...

“…Okay everyone!
"So far, our Weiqi League regular season has come to an end.

“Thanks to everyone’s efforts, we finally achieved a good result of second place in the regular season!
"As a young team that has only been promoted to the A-League for the third year, this is undoubtedly a very exciting achievement. Let's applaud!"

At 1 pm on January 19th, in the writers' meeting room of the home team at Tengjiang Pavilion Xihuan Hotel, Hongdu City, Pohu Province.

Seeing that all the players had come in and taken their seats, coach Du Weichen first summarized the regular season of the Pohu team in a very high tone. Then warm applause broke out in the conference room.

It goes without saying that Yang and Li applauded enthusiastically - although there was a suspicion of flattery, it was an objective fact that the two of them, as the main players, stood in the second place of the men's Weiqi League with the team. This made the two who had been working hard to prove that "Rui Zhao is not an isolated case" quite excited.

Rui Zhao and Zeng Guangwen also attached great importance to this league championship. They were in a good mood seeing that they could advance directly to the semi-finals of the playoffs through joint efforts.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually getting heated up with the applause, Coach Du grabbed the air with both hands and the applause stopped instantly.

Then he cleared his throat and continued to encourage:

"However, the results of the regular season are only temporary, and our final results this season will still depend on the final test of the playoffs after the new year!
“Although not all the games have ended yet, it is unlikely that there will be any reversals in the key games, and the ranking situation is already very clear.

“If nothing unexpected happens, Dajing should be first, we should be second, Pengze should be third, and Tiangang should be fourth!
“Qiantang, Xidu, Suhu, and Dongjiang ranked fifth to eighth... Tsk!

"Originally, I wanted to find Lin Dazui and his team to avenge last year's defeat, but now I have to hope that they can rush out from the other half of the zone. It seems that this is too difficult for these old guys..."

Zeng and Yang couldn't help but laugh when they heard Du Weichen deliberately teasing Tiangang, which had blocked the Pohu team from entering the semi-finals last year.

It is indeed a very hateful thing that Rui Zhao won both home and away games last year, but in the end, the team was eliminated by the opponent with a total score of 5-3 when the main player had quickly defeated the opponent.

This year, the Pohu team is very strong. Although it seems that Kou Uesaka is a relative weakness, Takuya Ichijo, who has never played for the Pohu team, has already promised to replace him in the playoffs. Just looking at the playoff lineup, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest among all teams.

However, just as the two were looking forward to the playoffs after the new year and launching an attack on the first Weiqi League championship in team history with the strongest lineup, Du Weichen's next words made the smiles on their faces freeze for a moment.

"...Also, there is something I have to take this opportunity to explain to everyone in advance.

"I don't think I can make it to the playoffs this time, unless something unexpected happens...

"Li-chan will continue to play in the playoffs."

"Ah?!"×2
Zeng and Yang were both dumbfounded. Comrade Xigou even asked back:

"What's going on?!
"Didn't Japan promise that if Uesaka played the entire regular season as a main player, Ichijo would play in the playoffs?"

“That’s… that’s exactly what I said!”

Du Weichen shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said:

"But now the Dongying Chess Institute said that Ichijo has had some health problems recently, and he happened to have an appointment for a minor surgery during the post-New Year playoffs, so he really can't come...

"Right? Rei-chan."

At this point, Du Weichen turned his eyes and looked at Shangban Li who was sitting. Zeng and Yang's eyes were naturally drawn to the youngest member of the team.

Seeing this, Uesaka Rei's face instantly turned red, but she still bit her lips and nodded. "...So..."

Elder Du continued calmly:

"The Japanese have already made it clear that they are willing to pay a penalty of 300,000 yuan per game for not being able to play as agreed. But Ichijo really can't come.

"That's the situation."

Zeng and Yang were not stupid. After hearing the obviously fake reasons given by Dongying and Uesaka Rei's unnatural reaction, they immediately realized what was going on!
There is a high probability that Japan had already made a plan from the beginning and spent money to give their rising stars more opportunities to train!

But they really didn't know what to say about the conspiracy of the Japanese Chess Institute!
Liquidated damages are part of the contract, and they are still executing according to the contract. And...

Spending three hundred thousand dollars per game to play in the Chinese Weiqi League playoffs... this is really a huge investment!
After four rounds, it can be equal to the Spring Orchid Cup champion prize money! !
"...Um...I have discussed this matter with Boss Gong and Manager Lai."

Du Weichen continued:

"Boss Gong will add most of this liquidated damages to the players' bonuses later. I hope everyone will keep working hard in the playoffs for the sake of the bonuses!

"Look everyone...do you have anything else to say?"

"there is none left!"

Rui Zhao, who had been informed of the situation in advance, answered without saying anything:
"Brother Du, it's okay. I'm going to eat first!
"The strongest chess player competition will officially begin the day after tomorrow, and I have to hurry up to prepare..."

"Hey, Queen, wait, wait!"

Zeng Guangwen quickly called out to his master:
"Did you hear that clearly, Queen? The little bunny can't come!

"If that's the case, then our championship in the Weiqi League will be in jeopardy!"

"But there's nothing we can do about it..."

Rui Zhao blinked and said:
"All chess players would definitely like to play more games, but there is nothing they can do if their body does not allow it! And their form will also be affected.

"Like me, I secretly ran away from the hospital after the 23 Wu Yue Cup to participate in the national championship preliminaries, and ended up losing to Gao Yang, nd Dan. I still don't know how I lost that game...

"If we force a ninth-level player to come here, his condition and performance might not be as good as Xiaoli-chan's!"

"No! Queen, don't just believe their one-sided words..."

Just as the dog was thinking about how to explain this to Rui Zhao, Rui Zhaoyi continued:
“Besides, whether or not we win the championship should mainly depend on me, right?
"Just like in the last regular season, if I can beat Lei Qi Jiudan on the main stage, then we will be the first in the regular season!
“Indeed… Compared to the Ichijou-dan that I haven’t had much contact with before, I would rather fight for the championship with Li-chan!

"After all, the four of us have been playing together like this for the entire season!"

"Uh……"

Seeing his master say this, Zeng Guangwen had nothing to say.

As for this outrageous operation on the Japanese side, there is nothing wrong with it from a contractual perspective as the other party has already decided to pay the penalty.

The only possibility is to let Rui Zhao, who has made great contributions to the development of Go in his country, ask the Go Association to go out and discuss with Japan. But since Rui Zhao doesn't think this is a good idea, the other people in the Pohu team naturally don't have the face to do so.

"...I think so too... let's just leave it like this!
"After all, there is no other way."

The little witch, who originally had a complicated expression, finally sighed and said:

“Besides, this lineup may not necessarily be unable to win the championship.

"Besides, this little girl does have great potential. Keeping her in the playoffs to give her more training will also be beneficial for next season."

Seeing Yang Manjing speaking up for him, Xiao Shangsaka was quite surprised. Looking at his opponent who he often quarreled with, he didn't know how to react for a moment.

The witch lady, who noticed the other party's gaze, quickly added a short sentence:

“Just talking about the facts…

"And you are quite capable to have defeated Nie Yunyi..."

"Okay! It seems that the discussion on this matter has an answer!

Seeing that both of them were quite embarrassed, Du Weichen clapped his hands decisively, bringing the discussion of this matter to an end:
"So Rei-chan...

"You and Rui Zhao will set off for the South Korean capital tomorrow to participate in the World's Strongest Chess Player Tournament!
“I hope you can take this opportunity to train well and live up to the opportunities your chess academy has created for you.

"We also look forward to your good performance in the playoffs!"

"……Um!"

After digesting Elder Du's blessing, the rising star of Japan nodded vigorously, full of determination. (End of this chapter)
