Chapter 62 Retirement
“Classmate Rui Zhao, how many years have you been playing chess?”
“I have been playing chess since I was a child...ah, no, no!
“Yeah ! I practiced chess for two and a half years! ”
“It’s really not that long! Then why did you participate in this ‘City Cup’ competition? Is it out of love for chess? ”
"Of course! Go is the most interesting! If I could, I would play Go every day!
"But in addition...there are two reasons.
“One is that I want to participate in this year’s fixed-level competition, but I have never passed the amateur level test before and have no qualifications. So I hope to win the championship in this competition, so that I can directly advance to professional 5. !
"The other thing is that in the past three years, I have caused a lot of trouble to the teacher in my class, but I have never done anything to make the teacher proud. I just thought that at least I could do it in the last moments of my high school years. Strive to win a championship and bring glory to your alma mater! "
"Ah, I want to win the championship...Rui Zhao is very ambitious and deserves to be a student of the prestigious Dongjiang Middle School!
"Also, you won the first set of the auditions just now. I heard that your opponent in the first set was very strong. Did you have a hard fight?"
"Huh? Are you okay?< br>
"Although there is no such thing as easy in the world, it is quite easy to win against that uncle...
"He is the weakest person I have played recently...and others I basically have to let them let me win..."
"Ah...that's it! Then Rui Zhao is very lucky! I hope I will have such good luck in the future and continue to go further! ”
"Thank you, sister!"
After the interview, the female reporter went to the camera to see the final result. It could be seen from the smile on her face that she was very satisfied and immediately gave Rui Zhao and Ai Jian Andubi He made an OK gesture, then walked up to Rui Zhao and said.
"Little sister, please open the payment code, and I will transfer the interview fee of 500 yuan to you!"
Unexpectedly, the girl was stunned for half a second and immediately began to shake her head:
"Huh? No, no, no! I just told Sister An An, I just answer two or three questions, it's free of charge!"
"Take it! You are doing your sister a favor!"
"No! Your interview also helped promote our school, which is considered a favor to me!"
Ouch, you Why does my alma mater need publicity?
Seeing this situation, the female reporter shook her head helplessly, and then looked at Ai Jianan. Seeing that Ai Jian'an just shrugged and shook his head, he smiled and said:
"Okay! Then I will thank you for your kindness!
"I just gave you my business card. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please feel free to contact me!"
"Well, that's okay!"
The beautiful girl then showed her face again. A sweet smile.
After interviewing Rui Zhao, the reporter and photography duo quickly packed up and left.
Before leaving, the female reporter did not forget to express her gratitude again in front of Ai Jianan, and at the same time said jokingly: "It seems that your information about the opponent's strength is not accurate~ but it's not so accurate!"< br>
For female reporters, although with Rui Zhao's identity and appearance, it doesn't really matter whether she wins the first round, but if the interviewee can advance to the next round, it will always make the audience more interested in the event and subsequent news. Not a minute to look forward to.
At this time, Ai Jianan could only laugh twice "ha, ha".
After the duo left, she walked up to Rui Zhao and began to ask about the situation seriously.
"Xiao Zhaomiao, did you just...really beat that uncle?"
"You won! Sister An An, if you don't believe it, you can go to the organizing committee and ask!"
Rui Zhao answered naturally:
"But he is still a bit strong. I'm sorry that I couldn't help him cry to avenge you, Sister An An!"
Cry? !
Help me take revenge? !
Ai Jianan did not expect that Rui Zhao would say this, and the words instantly flowed through her body like a warm current.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhaomiao has me in her heart!
Ah no, we can’t be foolish now... we have to ask the serious questions first!
Ai Jian'an shook his head slightly:
"Nothing! I lost to him so many years ago!
"But...you just said that he He is the weakest opponent you have played against recently. Isn't this a bit exaggerated? ”
"Ah...yes, it's a bit exaggerated."
When Ai Jian'an asked about this, Rui Zhao was a little embarrassed:
"He said it was so exaggerated just before we played chess. I was also a little unhappy and wanted to hurt him, so I didn’t tell the truth..."
Ah, sure enough!
Ai Jianan nodded repeatedly.
Let me just say, this uncle has the level of Qiangye 5!
Even if Xiao Zhaomiao really beats him this time, he can't be the worst among the people Xiao Zhaomiao has begged recently!
But Ai Jianan could not have imagined that the girl had not finished speaking.
"...Objectively speaking, excluding a five or six-year-old boy who has just learned chess, he should be the second weakest person I have played against recently..."
Huh? Second weakest? !
Ai Jian'an, who had just nodded repeatedly, was dumbfounded on the spot, and at the same time subconsciously asked:
"Who is the weakest one?" "Huh?"
< br>Rui Zhao didn't seem to have expected that Ai Jianan would ask such a question directly, so he could only answer hesitantly:
"The weakest...the weakest Sister An An, don't you know who she is!" ”
Ai Jianan was puzzled for a moment: "I know? Please! How could I know...
"...
"...Eh?"
...
…
Just when Ai Jian'an finally realized who the loser was, in a classroom in Yanbei Middle School that temporarily served as the competition office, the staff of the competition organizing committee began to gradually become busy.
For this "City Cup" audition, a total of nearly 800 people registered in the Dongjiang Division. There were a total of six single-elimination rounds, and 12 people were finally selected to participate in the preliminaries.
As the first round and the first batch (because there were too many matches in the first round, they were divided into two batches) ended one after another, each competition room gradually summarized the results to the competition office for the purpose of sorting out the results. , Arrange the matchup situation for the next round of single-elimination knockout matches.
Ke Mulan is the vice chairman of Dongjiang Go Association. The "Metropolitan Cup" Dongjiang Division competition is the largest amateur Go competition in Dongjiang City throughout the year, and it is also a major focus of work every year. Therefore, as the vice chairman, he has always come to supervise the competition in person, and even often helps out. live.
The first round of the auditions involved the most important task of collecting statistics on victory and defeat. Vice Chairman Ke took the lead and immediately started to compile statistics on the front line.
Originally, this kind of work was the most boring and boring, but Ke Mulan was busy and suddenly found something wrong with a piece of information.
"Huh? Why was Zhao Nantian eliminated in the first round? In previous years, wasn't his level enough to compete in the main draw?
"Let me see if he is unlucky. He directly met other masters... that's not the case either! The loser is...an eighteen-year-old girl? !
"Rui Zhao...I have never heard of this name at all!"
Ke Mulan's eyes widened, and he thought it was impossible no matter how hard he thought, so he immediately called the second competition room. supervisor.
"Hey, Xiao Huang, let me ask you something! Did the results of Channel 5 in your competition room get the results wrong? I think you reported that the little girl won...
"Hmm? Do you think this is the result? Are you sure? !
"Eh? What do you mean 'it was over in twenty minutes, and the girl was very beautiful, so I remember it very clearly'?! Wait a minute! I'll come up and take a look right away!"
Ke Mulan After making the call, he was about to go up to inquire about the situation after briefly explaining to other staff, but as soon as he stood up, his phone rang again.
He took a closer look and saw that the caller was another staff member of the Chess Association. A few days ago, he arranged for this staff member to deal with an own issue, and the result was probably there.
"Hey, Xiao Li, has Bai Yinhua's 7th-dan oolong figured out who is playing the prank?
"The registration information and facial recognition have all been verified, and it looks like it's real! Technology is really getting better and better these days! "
"Chairman Ke, figured it out! The staff's words were full of anxiety: "But... it's not a prank!" "
"Not a prank? Ke Mulan didn't understand for a moment: "What do you mean it's not a prank?" It can't be that Bai Yinhua really wants to participate in the 'City Cup' competition, right? "
"That's what it means! ”
"?
"No! Bai Yinhua 7th Dan is a professional chess player! How can I participate in amateur competitions? ”
“Yes, but he just retired!” "
"Retreat? ! Ke Mulan's pupils narrowed: "He, a professional stalwart in his prime, will retire?" ! "
"Yes, he canceled his professional rank and qualifications on the Chess Association website a week ago. At that time, the leader in charge of the Chess Association thought that his account must have been hacked, so he kept contacting him and was ready to call him at any time. He recovered, but I heard that he had been depressed recently and didn't want to talk to others, so I planned to let him relax first and contact him again when he recovered...
"But who would have known that he finally responded to the message this morning. First, he confirmed with the Chinese Chess Association that he would cancel his professional rank and return to amateur status. Then he contacted us and confirmed that he would register for the semi-finals as amateur 6th rank. All registrations The information is correct!"
"This...how can this..."
Ke Mulan's breathing suddenly became rapid.
He understands that when a core professional chess player in his playing years suddenly announces his retirement to participate in amateur competitions, this may not sound like much...
But if you think about it for a moment, you will know that this But it’s a big deal!
"Does Chairman Shang know the situation?! Chairman Shang must be notified of this matter as soon as possible!"
"I just found out! According to the news from Dajingna, Chairman Shang is urgently organizing a meeting with the top management of the Chess Association! ”
【Stack armor first】
Although the plot of the professional players in this chapter who retires and then participates in amateur competitions has a certain realistic prototype, the execution in reality is definitely far worse than in the novel. So silky, easy, and quick. In the novel, some treatment is mainly done for the sake of drama, and everything is treated as a parallel world setting.
This plot, please understand it as a system loophole in the parallel world Go world. In the next chapter, I will elaborate on the whole thing to make it more reasonable. Don’t get too hung up on the details.
[Anti-milk again]
Looking at the growth of collections in the past two days, one word is not enough to describe it. I feel like I don’t have smart recommendations... The third round of recommendations is really unnecessary. Counting on it.
But if I accidentally get into the third round... I promise to update it six times a day.
(I can’t get in anyway, so I’d dare to say anything if I’m on the street. I don’t believe Mr. Bacon would be so partial to me!)
