Chapter 670 New Generation Ceiling
"Ni Jue, didn't you say you would call Rui Zhao and celebrate together tonight?
"Why...are you alone?"
At 7:30 pm on November 22, in a small box in the catering department of the Grand Blue Sky Hotel.
Dai Ran looked at the dining table where only his old friend was alone, feeling a little confused.
The former celebrity pondered for a moment and then said truthfully:
"Well...
"Rui Zhao, she may need to slow down..."
"Huh? What does this mean?"
"Literally."
Ni Jue shrugged helplessly, not at all as happy as when he lost just today:
"Didn't you see it at the end of the game? That guy pulled me out of the field and asked about the situation.
"She asked her all the questions, and I couldn't wait to talk in detail during the dinner celebration in the evening, so I explained my thoughts to her in detail, and then...
"...She was obviously confused."
"Confused?"
"Yes."
Ni Jue sighed and continued:
"Just...some don't know how to answer my words and seem confused.
"Including you can watch her final award ceremony today, she was in a stupid state.
"She was not very prepared for this unexpected [celebrity] title, even...
"...There is still some psychological burden!"
"Psychological burden?"
Dai Ran repeated it, and then asked:
"Do you feel that... you have won the title of [Celebrity] by relying on your flying knives, and you are not worthy of it?"
"I guess so."
Ni Jue nodded and said:
"Originally, she thought there was nothing she couldn't do with my throwing knife to work for me within the rules.
"But now that it has become a wedding dress for herself, she suddenly feels a bit despicable..."
"...I can understand it."
After a moment of silence, Dai Ran took over and said:
"She is a girl, and she is a well-behaved and clever chess player. She is not like Xiao Lei who was trained as a future leader early.
"It's not surprising that such a heavy burden suddenly fell on her, and it was a little hard to accept."
"So I comforted her a few words and let her calm down..."
Ni Jue simply responded:
"Later... I also plan to call Master and ask him to help with persuasion."
Dai Ran nodded:
"Well, it's okay, you can take your time.
"The celebrity battle is over. The domestic and foreign competitions at the end of the month and the first ten days of next month are the second stage of the Nongshim Cup, the last four rounds of the Women's League, and the LIG competition - she does not need to participate in these.
"The next time she appears, she has to wait until the preliminaries for the Yixian Competition on December 11th!"
"Pre-selection...?"
Ni Jue couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this:
"Reigning celebrities actually compete in qualifiers for other title tournaments... This is the first time I've heard of this!
"Even in the past six years, I have never been in such a bad state."
"There is no way, she has lost too much in the past six months..."
Dai Gong sighed expressionlessly:
"I just calculated the real-time rating. She won so much this time, and her rating has only risen to 34th, which is still early for the top 17!
"Instead of worrying about her level, you should pay attention to her rank first!
"When was the last time a celebrity in power only had seven-dan degrees!
"It has been almost a year and a half since she has been promoted to eight dans. Finally, it is time to overcome the catastrophe in the Masters Tournament. She failed to adjust her condition and fell short..."
"Huh? Is she going to survive the tribulation?" Ni Jue, who didn't pay much attention, was a little surprised.
Dai Gong nodded:
"Yeah.
"Her average score in the third game was 67.3, and she was only one game away from being promoted to eighth place."
"Ah, this has been really hard work for a long time..."
Ni Jue sighed with emotion, but then said with confidence:
"It's okay! I believe that Rui Zhao can adapt to it quickly! She is actually a very responsible child for Go!
“I remember that in July, she had a special meeting with one of her little fans. She was very happy when she came back and even said excitedly that she would provide more exciting games for her fans in the future!
"With such a mentality, she will definitely become an excellent role model and idol!"
…
…
"No! What do you mean by 'Rui Zhao is not a real role model and idol at all'??!
"Are all the people on the Internet blind? Are they comparing Rui Zhao to the girl from a technical secondary school who caused a farce last year??!
"Do they idiots know how difficult it is to overturn Lei Qi's game?"
The next day, at 8 a.m. on November 23, Bachuan County, Qinguan Province.
Bai Yinhua, who was taking a nap at home, looked at the online comments that his students had just sent to him. His blood pressure instantly soared to the sky, and he even cursed involuntarily!
The online comment that made Bai Yinhua so angry... was about Rui Zhao.
Just yesterday, the 2025 Chinese Celebrity Game Sanbanqi officially came to an end. The news that Rui Zhao won the unrestricted national championship for the first time as a female chess player made Qu Hui, a die-hard Zhao fan, very excited!
As Qu Hui's first teacher, Bai Yinhua is also happy to see students achieve their wishes.
But when Xiaohui came to him, the teacher, with a tablet and cried aggrievedly this morning, he discovered that some public opinions on the Internet were extremely unfriendly to the Chinese celebrity Zhaojun!
Although the Yiguo Forum, which has many real chess fans, generally supports Zhao Tianhou, most of the posts are similar to [Celebrity Title + Ending Nongshim Cup + World Championship Semi-finals! Zhao Tianhou is already the number one female chess player in history. If you don’t agree, come and argue! ], [To be fair, even if the flying knife Rui Zhao uses does come from Ni Jue, his true strength is probably among the top ten in the world! 】This kind of praise post.
However, in various comprehensive social media and online communities where the concentration of Go is not high, under the premeditated and organized rhythm of Zhaohei, the situation is somewhat biased!
In particular, there are many people with ulterior motives who directly compare Rui Zhao to the girl from a technical secondary school who made a big fuss because of a math competition last year, saying that both of them relied on the help of others to achieve corresponding achievements. Some people even directly compared Rui Zhao to Rui Zhao calls it "Go Jumping"!
This made Bai Yinhua, who had just read the discussion on the relevant post, scream outrageously and curse! I immediately wanted to call up the input method and compete with some of the little guys!
Anyone who understands chess knows that no matter how you look at it, Rui Zhao is probably beginning to surpass Mr. Wu and become the new generation of female chess players!
But seeing Bai Yinhua so angry, Qu Hui on the side was the calmer one. She quickly grabbed the teacher and said:
"Teacher Bai, Bai! Calm down!
"Didn't you tell me that good kids shouldn't spend time arguing on the Internet? Why are you ready to start typing..."
"...Uh..."
Bai Yinhua, who was hit by the boomerang he threw, was speechless for a while. After a while, he said awkwardly:
"This, this is not an online quarrel! I, I just want to present the facts and reason with the other party!
"Xiao Hui, don't listen to the nonsense of those people on the Internet! Of course your sister Rui Zhao is an extremely outstanding top chess player, and is undoubtedly the number one female chess player in history!
"Although some of her ideas are a bit naive, she is indeed very admirable!"
"Some ideas...a little naive?"
Although Qu Hui nodded vigorously while listening to Bai Yinhua's previous statement, she still tilted her head in confusion when she heard this.
"Ah this..."
Realizing that she had said something in a hurry, Bai Yinhua was even more panicked and hurriedly explained:
"No, nothing!
"I just said that Sister Ruizhao is a true idealist, a person who has truly escaped from vulgar taste!"
However... even though Bai Yinhua said so, he insisted that he did not completely agree with Rui Zhao!
Although Rui Zhao's achievements are enough to make people admire her, and judging from the last time I saw Rui Zhao in July, her tolerance and understanding are also impressive enough.
But... in Bai Qianqi Duan's view, everything must be discussed based on the facts!
Although Rui Zhao's personal achievements and words and deeds are admirable, in the final analysis, the professional Go industry is still too hopeless in this era, and this is not based on personal will at all!
Admiring her and agreeing with her point of view...those are two different things!
"Yeah! I understand!"
Just when Bai Yinhua's thoughts were somewhat scattered, his little student did not notice the teacher's thoughts. He just nodded vigorously as if he was comforted, and then asked tentatively as if he was worried:
"That...Teacher Bai.
"Didn't you say last time... that we were going to Xidu City to take the 4 exams before the Chinese New Year?"
"Huh?
"Yeah...right!"
After being stunned for a moment, Bai Yinhua came back to his senses and immediately answered truthfully.
Qu Hui's talent is truly astonishing. She has only been studying systematically for less than two years. Not only does she already have her Industry 3 certificate, but her strength has already reached the level of Industry 4 and above!
The whole school knew that Qu Hui was very good at Go, and not many adults in the county could beat it!
So this time, Bai Yinhua planned to take Xiaohui to the provincial capital Xidu City to participate in the promotion competition during the winter vacation and get his 4th grade certificate.
In the future, no matter whether it is for awards or merit evaluations, multiple certificates will always mean multiple weights - not to mention that for a seven-year-old girl, Industry 4 is already a very difficult and valuable certificate!
"I, I have looked at the schedule of the League One. Sister Rui Zhao came to Xidu to play in the last round of the regular season this season! Just the day after the game!
"If I pass the 4-level exam successfully, can you take me to the scene to cheer for Sister Rui Zhao?
"Exactly, I want to ask how I can become a professional chess player like her in the future!"
"...Huh?!
"Professional chess player?!!!"
Hearing this, Bai Yinhua really couldn't come back to his senses!
