Chapter 135 "Crazy"
June 22, 6:50.
In an old community in Bachuan County, Qinguan Province, an ordinary family of three was eating their own rice dumplings for dinner while listening to the evening news broadcast by the provincial satellite TV.
Originally all three of them were fine, but a piece of news broadcast next attracted the attention of their son Bai Yinhua.
“...Today, the highly anticipated second game of the Chinese Go Holy War came to an end in Xidu City, this province. After several hours of intense play, the challenger Lei Qi Jiudan lost to Xianqi by half a goal. Lin Ruixin, the ninth-level holder of the holy title, failed to gain another victory. The first two games ended in a one-to-one draw. The following is the report sent by our on-site reporter Zhao Hui from the front..."
In the middle of the news broadcast, the sound suddenly stopped - Bai Yinhua had already picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
Why is it that during the Dragon Boat Festival, the evening news of Provincial Satellite TV suddenly broadcast the chess jihad?
Bai Yinhua frowned and put down the remote control, but when he turned his head, he found that his parents were looking at him with stunned expressions, and they were at a loss for the moment.
Only now did he realize that he had been impulsive.
For parents, watching the evening news and weather forecast on provincial satellite TV while eating dinner has always been a habit that has not changed in ten years.
It turned out that just because I didn't want to hear about Go, I actually stopped the program that my parents wanted to watch. It was really inappropriate.
He gave up more than 20 years of hard work and hard work in Go. This is a very sorry thing for his parents. He still has such a temper, which cannot be justified.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Dad, Mom!
"I wanted to turn down the volume, but accidentally turned it off...I'll turn it on right away! ”
After saying that, Bai Yinhua quickly turned on the TV again, and saw that the camera had switched to an interview with a young chess fan at the scene:
"It's so exciting! The game between the two world champions is really exciting!
"Especially Xiaolei's 9-dan chess, his double tigers made everyone look stupid in the first game! Today's overwhelming pursuit was a sight to behold.
“This is the charm of our national quintessence. I will definitely let my children continue to play Go in the future!”
After the interview with this young chess fan ended, the news voiceover changed and started again An interview with Shang Chaotian, Chairman of the Chess Association, was broadcast.
“Go has been associated with the Guanzhong area for a long time. The 19-way chessboard we still use today was gradually established as orthodox in Guanzhong during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, Chang’an was the economic and cultural center of Asia. The charming sport of Go continues to spread to the whole world from here
"Although some people have the impression that Go is an ancient antique with a high profile, this is not the case. Just like Xidu City, it has a long history of thousands of years, but it has also been constantly changing and progressing during these thousands of years. This is still the case today.
“Needless to mention the advancement of skills on the chessboard, in order to keep up with the development of the times, we have gradually adopted new models for the promotion of Go, such as working hard through emerging self-media. , to achieve the purpose of promotion with the help of methods that young people like to hear and see.
"For example, recently, there is an anchor named [Go Xiao Zhao] in our circle. She is a beautiful eighteen-year-old girl. She uses her very friendly image to broadcast herself Participating in offline competitions, playing chess online and explaining the game continue to attract people outside the circle to learn about Go.
“The number of viewers of her live broadcast on Station B has even increased significantly. Exceeded our official live broadcast..."
After the interview with Shang Chaotian was broadcast, the report began to turn to the importance of holding the second game of this chess holy war in Xidu City for the cultural and sports work of the province. However, these scenes Bai Yinhua was naturally too lazy to listen any more.
[Go Xiao Zhao]...
That little girl... is really working hard on her own!
I even asked Chairman Shang to help promote it on satellite TV...
Bai Yinhua's expression and mood were a little complicated for a while.
Although he still has a negative attitude towards Go now, when he knew that such a beautiful and strong girl was actually working hard to promote Go, he actually wanted to watch [Go] The excitement of taking a look at Xiao Zhao’s live broadcast.
Uh...just take a look, it should be nothing, right?
Bai Yinhua defended himself.
Even though he was the only one who could hear his explanation.
…
…
"What? You want me to talk about the fourth game?
"Vice Chairman Lu, you can't just point your fingers at me, right? ”
June 23, Qiantang City, Ni Jue’s home.
Tian Yuan, a current celebrity who was doing research in front of the computer, was quite speechless when he heard the suggestion from the vice chairman of the Chess Association.
“Aren’t you in Qiantang? Naturally, I want to pull you? ”
Lu Wenjie's tone was relaxed and matter-of-fact.
“Besides, it’s not like I won’t give you an appearance fee!”
“You guys are deducting it! Three thousand yuan is not something I value so much!”
Ni Jue first complained about the chess association, which was strapped for funds.
But he thought about it, this time Lei Qi played against Lin Ruixin in the first two games of very high quality, especially Lei Qi's side. He must study and review the game carefully.
We have to do it anyway, so why not do paid research?
Not to mention it’s right at your doorstep!
"That's okay... I'll make another sacrifice for the development of our country's Go industry!
"Ah, by the way, Vice Chairman Lu, I have heard some rumors in the circle in the past two days, saying Has Lin Ruixin given up participating in the Nongshim Cup preliminaries this time? ”
Lu Wenjie’s voice paused for a moment on the phone and asked:
"What? Are you surprised?"
It's true...
Seeing that Lu Wenjie had already acquiesced in his words, Ni Jue continued.
“Ah, I’m not too surprised. It’s not surprising to make such a choice based on his style...
“But if you ask me, his choice is not smart. ”
These words whetted Lu Wenjie's appetite: "Oh? How do you say this?"
Ni Jue chuckled and said:
"Comparing the current conditions of the two sides, he wants to keep [chess] Holy] It’s really a bit difficult...
“You know, Xiao Lei’s nickname is ‘Xiao Shang Chess King’. It was extremely rare for him to make this move that day. He can’t always count on Xiao Lei to make the move. Are you a second-hand chess player like this?
“On the other hand, Lin Da, an Internet celebrity himself, will make big mistakes like the first game of chess from time to time.
"In this situation, if Lin Wanghong just shows up and surrenders with courtesy, he still won't lose the chance to win a seat in the Nongshim Cup.
"Wouldn't it be beautiful to fight against foreign enemies together! "
Seeing Ni Jue's rare joke, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but complain: "Show it, you know how to show it!
“You’re so serious, you don’t even bother to do it yourself, but you still want to persuade others to do it... it’s become natural for you to do it badly, right?!”
"It's not that serious. It's just to put it in a mess to better support it!"
Ni Jue replied without blushing or heartbeat.
But maybe it felt like the topic of the joke went a little too far. Ni Jue stopped laughing and said a little seriously:
"But...Vice Chairman Lu, Lin Ruixin will not participate this year, and Lao Dai If I get another spot, I'm afraid it will be bad again!
"If it doesn't work this year, it will be four years without a championship!" This is something that has never happened since the eight-year drought at the beginning of the century. ”
What Ni Jue said is indeed true.
In the first five Nongshim Cups (17th to 21st) that Lin Ruixin participated in, the Chinese team won four championships in five years, which was extremely brilliant.
But since Lin Daqi's status began to decline three years ago, and South Korea's Ryu Se-hyun rose strongly, the situation of China and South Korea in the Nongshim Cup has also been reversed. In the past three years (22nd to 24th), South Korea has won three consecutive championships, which is extremely strong.
Lu Wenjie was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean by that?"
Ni Jue replied calmly: "What do you mean by that."
Lu Wenjie is naturally smart, so Ni Jue understood it completely when he said this, and immediately replied:
"Hey, we don't have a wild card to give you this year, why are you crazy!"
< br>According to the "Nongshim Cup Selection Regulations", when there are no exempted candidates that year, four of the five Nongshim Cup candidates will be selected through selection, and the last candidate will be determined by the wild card of the Chess Association.
“Hey! Don’t think of me in such a bad way!
“When I don’t play with knives, I just have difficulty with a few strokes on my head, but others can still do it. ”
Ni Jue replied:
"This time Lin Ruixin abstains from voting, Xiaolei and Lao Dai are exempted from the election. I, who is ranked ninth, can directly enter the second stage.
"The second stage will then be In the first round, I will be assigned a level that ranks outside the top ten. I should win with a high probability. In the second round, I made one shot, and without any accidents, I qualified - I only made one shot, so it should be fine.
"How is it? Isn't it as difficult as you imagined?"
Hearing this, Lu Wenjie fell silent for a moment. He never expected that Ni Jue, who had been in trouble for a long time, would actually find his own way. Clear away the difficulties!
It was clearly agreed at the beginning that he would only be pulled out when there was no one in China to be exempted from the selection and it was indeed impossible to win the Nongshim Cup for a long time!
"What are you doing...?"
"We didn't agree at the beginning that you can stay away from the Nongshim Cup qualifiers for a long time, but you can't when we want to find you. Escape?
“Why did you take the initiative to clean yourself and jump on the chopping board this time? "
"It's nothing, I was a little touched by some things recently. ”
Ni Jue said casually and brought the topic back:
"How about it? I have already said 'if there is a war, I will be recalled', don't you consider giving me a chance?"
Lu Wenjie was silent for a moment.
He naturally knows that Ni Jue’s knife-throwing method based on long-term unpopular research is highly targeted in fast chess and single-player group competitions, and he is very hopeful that he can deal with nearly three players. Liu Shixian, who has given the Chinese team a headache every year.
Lu Wenjie also knows what the flying knife means to Ni Jue.
Ni Jue has already made great sacrifices and contributions in the previous Bai Yinhua incident, and if he wants to use a flying knife in the Nongshim Cup this time, it will not be like in the "City Cup" where he can hide the chess records through manipulation. of.
That means that Ni Jue's flying knife will really be consumed, and Lu Wenjie really has no face for this.
"...It's okay, we haven't lost for seven years in a row! Don't feel any psychological pressure, just relax and let it go!"
Lu Wenjie half-jokingly rejected Ni Jue's proposal .
But Ni Jue’s tone is still serious:
"To be honest, Vice Chairman Lu. I should have listened to you, but I am also twenty-nine years old!
"...If you really want to wait until seven years without a championship before you call me, I will confirm it. It will come, but I’m afraid that by then I will be powerless. "
Lu Wenjie was silent for another two seconds, and his next words were still in a funny tone:
"You're only twenty-nine, so you can't say you're weak! Chairman Shang won the last world championship at the age of thirty-three!
“What’s more, in this era of AI, the decline rate of chess players has slowed down compared to previous years.”
Ni Jue was silent for a while after hearing the words, and then sighed and said:
"Okay! Anyway... if you have something to say, you can talk. I'm hanging up."
"Don't forget Chapter 1 Four live broadcasts.”
“Well, I won’t forget this.”
After hanging up the phone, Ni Jue calmed down and planned to continue the research at hand, but he didn’t want to do it at this time. Another old guy who I have known for many years actually came over through WeChat.
[Ran Jin]: Ni Jue, are you free? Play two games of online chess? Each dish carries a 1,000 jackpot.
? ? ?
Seeing this news from Dai Gongzhi, Ni Jue couldn't help but roll his eyes.
As two geniuses who became famous at a young age among chess players of the same generation, although they are not very sociable and have competed with each other for a long time, they have always had a good relationship - —It’s just that they don’t have much contact with each other.
But what happened to Lao Dai suddenly today? !
[Jade is the King's Blade]: Hey, are you trying to grab money here?
【Jade is the King's Blade】: It's impossible for me to use my sword for Panwang chess, how can I beat you, a dog walker!
[Ran Jin]: Playing fast chess for an hour, this should be fair, right?
Huh? One hour of blitz chess?
Is Lao Dai crazy? !
[Jade is the King's Blade]: If you play fast chess, you're afraid you won't be able to win even if I don't use a knife, right?
[Ran Jin]: Don’t worry about this, can you play?
Is it really a forced gift?
Ni Jue looked at the chat content on the screen suspiciously, but soon he squinted his eyes and reflected.
Oh, there is also a crazy person here!
He smiled softly and then replied naturally.
【Jade is the King's Blade】: Next! Isn't it a fool to have money but not earn it?
