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

Well……

It is indeed the first chess battle in history that has attracted a lot of attention.

At 7:30 p.m. on the same day, the opening ceremony and media meeting of the World's Strongest Chess Players Tournament was held in the auditorium of the South Korean Chess Institute.

Looking at the many cameras and equipment below the stage, Lei Qi, who had just gone on stage with seven other chess players to be interviewed by the media, felt quite emotional.

Indeed, the popularity of this World's Strongest Chess Players Tournament has gone a step further than the previous LIG Cup! The entire auditorium of the South Korean Chess Institute was packed with people!
On the one hand, this is the "first chess battle in history" with the highest prize money in history, so it is normal that it attracts more attention.

On the other hand...

Of course, it’s because there’s been a growing controversy surrounding the fast chess player Athena, who Time magazine called “the light of wisdom beyond the world”, and countless people are relying on her performance to prove their point.

Thinking of this, the reigning Chinese chess master couldn't help but cast his gaze towards his sweetheart.

However, a certain fool who had just sat down seemed to be oblivious to all this commotion. Instead, he calmly took out his small folding phone, and very skillfully hid it behind his name tag and teacup, and then continued to do the tricks as if nothing had happened.

——Judging from the smoothness of the movements, this combo is obviously performed quite often.

Uh……

Aren’t you the first one to be interviewed later?
So you didn't even take advantage of this little bit of time?!

Xiao Lei Jiudan's expression twisted slightly.

Uh... should I say...

She really is worthy of it!

Although he had some desire to complain, the reigning chess master, who had been very familiar with his sweetheart for more than three years, knew that this was the style of this contemporary Concubine Yang - hardworking, pure, and not caring about other people's opinions.

If you really argue with her about this matter, she will probably just look at you blankly, and then use her own set of "wrong logic" to explain that her behavior is normal and there is nothing to be surprised about.

At once……

So naive and cute.

After silently judging in his heart, Lei Qi couldn't help but steal a glance at the beauty of the same age who was concentrating on doing the questions and was unaware of it. His mood couldn't help but fluctuate.

Own……

Should I confess my feelings to her?
The young Chinese leader lowered his eyes and pursed his lips subconsciously.

To be honest, even though Xiao Lei Jiudan has completely figured out his feelings, he admits that he has been completely attracted to this innocent, persistent and brave "old enemy" in front of him and cannot extricate himself.

But he was extremely conflicted about whether or not to confess his feelings to the other party - every time he thought about it over the past month, he decided to put it off for the time being.

After all, if we really talk about whether they are worthy or not... Xiao Lei knows that no matter what he says, he can never be compared with Athena, the fast chess player who is worthy of being called the national princess.

In his opinion, there was no man of her age in the world who was worthy of her, and according to normal rules, he deserved to be punished for having A.

but……

Lei Qi felt unwilling to just give up without making any attempt.

...We are both chess players, and she seems to have a good impression of me...

Although there is indeed a huge difference, judging from her obsession with Go, if she had to choose a partner...

Perhaps I am already a relatively suitable choice for her?

The reigning Chinese chess master tried hard to cheer himself up in his heart.

But when he thought about confessing his love to the other person, he always felt that the other person would say, "I'm sorry, there has always been only one thing in my heart, Go, and I have decided to marry Go for the rest of my life." Then they would not even be able to be friends anymore...

If that's the case, then it's better not to confess. Just wait until the other person makes a choice, or the two of you stay single forever...

Just when Lei Qi was somewhat distracted, the host's voice from the loudspeaker suddenly resounded throughout the venue - the contestants' question-and-answer session had begun.

Seeing that Rui Zhao was absorbed in doing the test and didn't seem to notice, Lei Qi quickly nudged him with his elbow. Rui Zhao then came to his senses and gave him a simple smile of apology and gratitude, which made Lei Qi dizzy for a moment.

In order to maintain order at the venue and to prevent the "big shot" Rui Zhao from completely overshadowing the protagonist scheduled for the South Korean Chess Institute, each chess player was only allowed to ask a question once at today's meeting, and Rui Zhao was arranged to be the first one, as far as possible to avoid a popularity comparison with Liu Shixian, the last one.

Soon a European and American reporter was selected to ask:
“Rui Zhao 9th Dan, congratulations on winning your first world championship last month! This is indeed a very admirable achievement!
"But we have also noticed that although you won your first World Championship as you wished, your remarks at the pre-LIG Cup media meeting that 'the goal is to be the best in history' still caused widespread controversy around the world." After a month, is your career goal still to become the best in history?
"Don't you think it's a bit too ambitious to compete with Choi Myung-ho, the 16-time world champion, for the title of the best in history with just one title? Thank you."

As the question asked in English was simultaneously translated into Chinese and transmitted to Rui Zhao's ears through the earphones, the contemporary Zhaojun answered without much hesitation:
"When it comes to my career goals, of course, I haven't changed, I'm still the best in history.

“Of course, this goal is indeed difficult, but as for whether it is too ambitious… I don’t think that having high goals and ambitions should be considered too ambitious.

"There seems to be a famous saying in the West: 'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier', and it seems that most European and American people also agree with this statement.

"So I don't see a problem with aiming for 'best of all time'.

“Shouldn’t the key be whether the person concerned is making continuous and concrete efforts towards his or her lofty goals?

“I think that although I have average talent, I should not lose to anyone in terms of hard work!

"If you laugh at or ridicule someone for having lofty ambitions, then we Chinese have a famous saying, 'How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?'

"Like Nie Yunyi, the 7th dan, he has always said that he wants to defeat me in the game, but I heard from Senior Brother Sun Yi that Nie is really hardworking, so I have always respected his almost impossible wish! I even praised him in front of the media... Hmm?

"Lei Qi? Why did you touch me?

"...

"……ah!!!

"Oh no no! I mean!

“Although he has not succeeded yet, no one can say that he won’t have a chance in the future, right?!

"I, this is what I actually mean! I still have high hopes for Nie Yunyi! Yeah!"

……Why!

There really is someone watching her!
Xiao Lei Jiudan, who had meant well to give a reminder but was betrayed by his foolish enemy, could not help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Well, in that case, then...

Why can't that person be me?

After secretly making up his mind, Lei Qi concentrated his mind.

But, if I really want to take this step...

At least he has to be the undisputed number one in the world, right?!

Thinking of this, Xiao Lei Jiudan narrowed his eyes. At this time, Rui Zhao had just finished dealing with his own problem in a panic.

Xiao Hanhan turned off the headset in front of him and carefully retreated back to his chair. Then he put his hands together and said to Lei Qi in a low voice with an apologetic tone:

“S-Sorry Lei Qi!
"I didn't realize you reminded me just now, and I got you involved. I'm really sorry..."

"It's okay, it doesn't affect anything."

Lei Qi also said softly:

“…Don’t let it affect your own state.

"In the first round tomorrow, I'm counting on you to beat Liu Shixian!"

"……Eh?"

The contemporary Zhaojun was a little surprised by the sudden statement made by the reigning chess master:
"Pointing at me... Ying Liu Jiudan?"

"Correct."

Lei Qi then explained:
“You beat him in the first round, and I beat him in the last round.

“We won a set each and kept him out of the finals!

"Kick him down from his number one position!" (End of this chapter)
