"Celebrity Ruizhao! I have a question... there must be a lot of people here who want to ask you!
"This is the Lakeside Cup. Why do you want to play as a pioneer? Judging from your strength, logically you should be the leader, right?
"Excuse me...are you doing it to avenge Ryu Se-hyun's early appearance in the Nongshim Cup 9th-dan match and the elimination of the entire Chinese men's team in one fell swoop?"
" ...Eh? No, no! It’s nothing!
“Actually... I’m just in a hurry! ”
"In a hurry, in a hurry?"
"Then...that is...I wonder, sister reporter, have you paid attention to our domestic Dragon Star War schedule?
"Our domestic The Dragon Stars qualifiers start on the 17th, and will be followed immediately by this tournament. If I appear later, there will probably be a conflict.
“So I thought that as long as I can continue my winning streak, I can end the game four games early on the afternoon of the 16th! If I catch the flight the next morning, I should be able to make it in time!
“ The fashion chairman didn’t even think of this, but it was me who proposed this great idea to him! As expected of me!
"Let me just say that since I became a current celebrity, I have paid more attention to and made progress in off-market matters!"
"...Yes, really?
"... But, if this is the case, it might be very difficult for you to end the game, right? "
"Huh? I feel like there should be no problem, right? Isn’t it just winning ten games in a row? It should be pretty easy!
“After all, the level of female chess players is indeed not very strong... huh?
"Vice Chairman Lu, why did you touch me?
"And you winked at me...eyes...
"...
"...ahhhhhh ! ! !
“That, that! It’s indeed quite difficult!
"It would be the best if I can be lucky enough to win all the way!
"But if I am eliminated, then I will go back to participate in the Dragon Star Battle! Haha, hahaha... snap! ”
At nine o’clock in the evening on May 5th, in a suite at the Lotte Hotel in Capital City.
As a slight muffled sound came from the TV, the evening comprehensive program that was originally broadcast The news stopped abruptly and I had just been looking for the remote control for a while. Zheng Caixi, who had just turned off the phone, couldn't help but glance at the other four team members in the room. The atmosphere was obviously solemn.
Ouch... the domestic media are really awesome! It’s not a big deal!
How can this kind of demoralizing interview be aired on general news?
Zheng Caixi, who obviously called everyone for a pre-game response meeting, but did not expect that news about Go, a niche sport, would be broadcast in the evening comprehensive news conference, secretly complained in his heart.
But facing the extremely embarrassing atmosphere now, she is also a little temperless.
At the opening ceremony of the Lakeside Cup an hour ago, the three countries also held a draw ceremony. The first to compete tomorrow will be South Korea and China.
The vanguard on the Chinese side is naturally the only team member who came, Zhaojun, a reigning celebrity in his country. The spearhead of South Korea's side is Byun Young-hyun, the dark horse in this year's Lakeside Cup qualifiers.
Naturally, the five participating members of the South Korean team in this Lakeside Cup were not happy with the Chinese Zhaojun's downplaying attitude at today's opening ceremony, as if he was just coming to the capital city to pick up a package.
But the key point is... they can't refute this attitude at all!
Although they have the Ice Queen, who is recognized as the number one in the women's chess world today, facing them is a "monster" who doesn't even bother to hang out in the women's chess world!
Although on the Chinese Internet, a lot of Zhao Hei confuses right and wrong and confuses the public, whether Rui Zhao or Jin Youen is the best female chess player in the world seems to be an issue worth fighting for, but when it comes to Go, Anyone who really understands the circle knows that...
Jin Youen and Rui Zhao... are not on the same level at all!
Even... it may not be just one level lower!
You must know that although the Ice Queen has a winning record against Lee Jung-yeon, Seo Sang-hyeong, and Park Min-yeol, she is at an overwhelming disadvantage against each other. Even when facing An Mingjiao, Moon Sung-jin, Shin Qingyun, etc., her recent record is at a disadvantage. Downwind!
As for the above people... they were all hanged up and beaten when they faced the Queen Zhao recently! Not to mention the weaker Ice Queen!
Putting such an outrageous existence in the women's competition is a complete dimensionality reduction blow! Don't know how to deal with it at all!
But just when Zheng Caixi was thinking about how to answer the call, accompanied by two claps, a calm and slightly deep voice suddenly came:
"Okay, everyone is here, let me have a quick chat with you."
Zheng Caixi raised her eyes and saw that it was the Ice Queen who usually didn't like to communicate much.
At a time when someone is urgently needed to step up and stabilize the team's confidence, Kim Woo-eun once again showed her responsibility as the first sister, just like how Queen Sora won seven consecutive games in the second Lakeside Cup. It’s the same when winning:
“Although it must be admitted that Rui Zhao is a very strong chess player, and his playing as a vanguard will indeed put a lot of pressure on us.
“But... this It’s also an opportunity for us! Because of this, she must accept a steady stream of tests from us and the Japanese team members, and her physical strength and energy will also be consumed one after another!
"You know, even if he is as strong as Xiaoliu, he originally wanted to appear as a backbone in the Nongshim Cup but was persuaded by the Chess Yuan. In the end, after a long time, he was one place ahead of schedule and appeared as a deputy.
"Objective Said, if Rui Zhao plays honestly and ends up playing this time, our hope of winning the championship will indeed be slim.
“But since she takes the lead in the battle, as long as she is eliminated, I have enough confidence to deal with the remaining Chinese and Japanese chess players!
“So...please try your best to The ground hits Rui Zhao!
“As long as she makes a mistake, everything will be fine.”
"...Well! Youen is right!"
Seeing Jin Youen's words of encouragement, Zheng Caixi quickly agreed:
"As long as we all come together, she Rui Zhao They may not be able to win all of us!”
Seeing that the two elder sisters mentioned this, Xu Nanying, 6th Dan, and An Huilin, 8th Dan, both looked at each other and agreed.
Unfortunately...the words of the two older players did not appease all the teammates.
Byun Young-hyun, who qualified for the Lakeside Cup for the first time, was only 15 years old in the early stages and was designated as the vanguard of the Lakeside Cup by the South Korean team.
After hearing these words, she couldn't help but pointed out a fact that made the room quiet: "But...how do I remember that when the Zhaojun of the time dealt with it, he used the basic Make no mistakes And famous?
"I have seen some domestic Rui Zhao chess fans. According to them, the only time Rui Zhao lost to a player who was obviously weaker than her was probably in the 2023 National Championship qualifiers. Give Gao Yang a second paragraph!
“And that time she made a mistake because she sneaked out of the hospital before she fully recovered.
"It's up to us to attack her... Why do I feel like I'm hitting a stone with an egg!"
As soon as these words came out, the other three team members present involuntarily turned their attention to their leader, Jin Youen.
The Ice Queen frowned slightly, but still said calmly:
"...It's okay.
"When she went to the Nongshim Cup ring to challenge Xiao Liu last February, No one thought she could win...but she did it in the end. ”
The Ice Queen continued to say in a deep voice:
"I think... the gap between me and her now should be smaller than the gap between her and Xiaoliu in February last year. Not to mention her physical strength and energy by then. It will definitely cost more than Xiaoliu did at the beginning.
"She can achieve her 'pink miracle', I think...
"I may not be able to challenge her! "
…
…
“Um…what!
“I have already stated that I will be the vanguard this time, and I promise not to let her, the general, appear!
“In the end, she still wanted to go to South Korea alone to show off her power, and she didn’t trust me at all!”
May 6, 11:40 noon, Zhenze City, Suhu Province , Yang Manjing’s home.
The little witch who had just joined today's women's team to watch the match saw her own armor leader calmly walking out of the room and heading to the game room, and couldn't help but complain a little.
Yes - this time Rui Zhao planned to spearhead the battle alone. At the pre-match meeting at the end of April, Queen Mulan clearly opposed it and vowed to let herself be the leader again. Pioneer, it is guaranteed that the current Zhaojun can finish the Dragon Star War in peace and contentment. Then...
Then he was directly suppressed by a sheep and a bird.
"Ah... Jingjing, didn't you just say that at the last pre-match meeting!
"We can't make this guarantee! ”
As the captain of this Lakeside Cup, Liu Yuhong once again stopped the outrageous remarks of the little guy in the team after the pre-match meeting:
"If the current Rei Uesaka plays well, the little guy and I will Mian...well, Zouyang can't stop him anymore, let alone that one Xiao Bingbing is here!
"And...
"You are not the youngest in the team now, please be more careful! Zou Yang and I are no longer in the team. Do you still expect Rui Zhao to be the captain? ”
"Ah this..."
The little witch who was asked was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, if you take away the passion and pure rationality, the Chinese team is naturally not good enough to guarantee that Rui Zhao will win the championship.
Last year Rei Uesaka ended her own six-game winning streak, and Kim Woo-eun was the ultimate BOSS in the women's chess world in previous years. It is said that the three sheep and bird wizards will definitely be able to eliminate these two people, but no one with a brain would dare to say this.
At this moment, Zhu Han, the star of hope of the Qiannan team who was only fifteen and a half years old and who entered the Hupan Cup team for the first time this time, could not help but speak:
"Um...it's not very important whether we need a captain, right?
"Although, Sister Rui Zhao is not very good at coordinating and leading a team...
"But the women's arena "Sai, can't we just let her push it flat?"
As soon as this soul question came out, Lian Maili and the other three fell into silence for an instant.
… indeed.
To imagine a female chess player defeating the current Zhaojun... it seems a bit difficult right now.
"...Well, the game is about to start, let's prepare to watch chess first!"
After a seemingly silent, but full of emotional silence, the youngest was still The tall Zouyang broke the ice with a voice. Game:
"But... I think after this game is over, we should not see Rui Zhao appear in the women's ring competition in the future.
"After all, nuclear weapons are Stuff...
"But what about the things that will be BAN after use!" (End of Chapter)
