Chapter 600 Still in it
“…Youen?
“Youen, did you hear me?
"Youn!!"
"Ah, I'm here!"
At six o'clock in the evening on March 13th, Dongdu City, the capital of Japan, the Japanese Chess Academy.
The awards ceremony for this year’s Fan Air Combat will be held here soon.
Jin Youen, who was sitting in a trance in the audience, suddenly realized that someone was calling her, responded quickly, and then followed the call.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Libo, the vice chairman of the South Korean Chess Academy who led the team to the air battle, was looking at her strangely. He didn't relax until he looked over:
"Youn , what's wrong with you?
"Aren't you happy that you have won the Women's World Championship for seven consecutive years?"
"Ah...
"G-happy! "
Jin Youen forced a smile, but her slightly stiff expression still showed that she was a little confused.
In fact, the Ice Queen at the moment cannot be said to be very happy.
Although her journey to win the championship this time was quite smooth. She defeated Jia Feiquan, Sanada Asa, Yang Manjing and Uesaka Rei along the way, and successfully won her eleventh women's world championship.
Such an achievement has begun to gradually widen the quantitative gap with Wu Yueyun back then, and it has a vague flavor of being unique!
But... for Kim Woo-eun, this seemingly extremely dominant result is somewhat pale.
——Does the Women’s World Championship, which has not won China’s current emperor, really have the gold and persuasiveness?
The Ice Queen couldn't help but raise a question mark in her heart.
"G-just be happy!"
Although it could be seen that Jin Youen seemed to be worried, Zhao Libo saw that his domestic sister didn't seem to be willing to say more, so he pretended to be stupid and went on. :
“That’s right, I just got the information from Japan Chess Academy!
“In addition to awarding awards at the award ceremony later, Japan Chess Academy will also take the opportunity to announce two important news. ! "
"Important... news? ”
The queen couldn't help but tilted her head, looking a little confused.
Zhao Libo smiled and continued to explain:
"Hey! Anyway, there is not much time left, so I will tell you directly:
"First , Rei Uesaka, who won the runner-up this time, will officially move to our Chess Academy and will temporarily become a chess player affiliated with our South Korean Chess Academy! "
"Huh? ! ”
Hearing this, Jin Youen couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Is it because she just won the runner-up in this air-slapping battle?!"
"Ah no, no, no, it's not because she did well this time. "The problem!"
Zhao Libo quickly explained:
"Although Uesaka performed very well this time and his strength is improving rapidly, this runner-up is really unexpected
"She had better fortunes along the way, and her final victory over Liu Yuhong was just a matter of chance, so it's a small probability event - if you competed with her in the finals, you should have a good idea of her overall strength."
"...She is actually quite capable."
After a moment of silence, Jin Youen said in a complicated tone:
"Including Yang Manjing...
"Huaxia These little girls from the Pohu team are really very motivated..."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Zhao Libo seemed to understand why Jin Youen was in a normal mood.
But...he didn't know how to comfort him.
Although Queen Zhao will not participate in the women's competition, theoretically Jin Youen can be like some extreme remarks in China, thinking that Rui Zhao has been beaten to the point of timidity after losing to her in three consecutive women's world championships. !
But... Zhao Libo knows that this is completely self-deception!
Huaxia Zhaojun's "Pink Miracle" in the Nongshim Cup and the team's reversal in the relegation battle are all real!
Let’s not even mention the reversal of the team in the relegation battle. The pink miracle in the Nongshim Cup alone is enough to make the Ice Queen, who once won the world runner-up, not dare to be careless!
After all... she has never beaten the best player in the world in any set, let alone in the Nongshim Cup where Liu Shixian is like a god!
To say that such a chess player who has continuously performed extremely eye-catching performances would be afraid of Kim Woo-eun...I am afraid no one will believe it.
“…Ahem!”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhao Libo quickly coughed, brought the topic back and continued:
"Actually, Japan has been in contact with us about Rei Uesaka moving to our chess academy a month ago - the purpose is naturally to hope that Let their star of hope get as much training as possible in high-level competitions
“The Chinese Chess Association is more sensitive to Japanese people joining its name, so naturally they found us!
“After recent discussions with the top management of the Chess Academy, they feel that this is a good opportunity to attract traffic!
“[A once-in-four-hundred-year-old Japanese Go genius girl parachuted into the South Korean chess scene]——This topic It sounds very eye-catching!
"Our country is not like Rui Zhao in China, who has an amazing amount of attention. He always has to create some gimmicks to attract the public... uh..."
As he spoke, Zhao Libo's voice became awkward again.
...It’s broken, why are we talking about Rui Zhao again!
There’s really no way around it!
The vice chairman of the South Korean Chess Academy who discovered something was wrong quickly stopped and began to summarize:
"...Anyway, in short!
"Now that both parties have reached an agreement, today Japan plans to take advantage of the opportunity that Uesaka Rei just got the girl Shia to announce the news and build momentum! "
"Well...I understand. "
The Ice Queen breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I will look forward to meeting her in the domestic competition.
"Then... what is the other important news?"
"Ah! That's good news!"
Zhao Libo, who had just stepped on the thunder one after another, said quickly:
"Youen, here's your chance to make up for your regrets!" The next Asian Games...
“There will still be Go projects!”
…
…
Gee… I didn’t expect it!
The Japanese Chess Academy really left Go in the Asian Games this time...
On the evening of March 14th, Sanshuang Training Institute, Kyoto-do, South Korea.
The welcome dinner before this Sanshuang Cup competition is being held in the multi-purpose hall of the training institute.
However, the first person in the world who attended the dinner had no intention of enjoying the banquet at this time. Instead, he found a secluded corner and began to learn more about this "big game" in the chess world that was just officially announced last night. News”:
After various communication efforts by the Japanese Chess Academy, the 20th Asian Games held by Blue Star in September 2026 in Zhongjing, Japan, will continue to retain the Go competition event that was previously rumored to be “retired”. . It will also continue the setup of the three minor events of the men's team, women's team, and men's individual events at the 2022 Qiantang Asian Games.
Hmm...
It seems that Takuya Ichijo won one and one runner-up last year, and Rei Uesaka won the Chinese Women's League [Best Rookie]...
They all won it in vain!
Liu Shixian sighed secretly.
The young master of the Liu family understands that the reason why the Go project, which was previously rumored to be on the verge of withdrawal, can be rescued, is that the host Japan's performance in Go has improved, which is an important reason.
If it is still like in previous years, "entering the semi-finals is considered a success", then it is estimated that the Japanese Chess Academy has worn out its words and will not be able to strive for the Go project to "survive"...
There is no way, the popularity of Go is really terrible!
Not to mention that only the three countries of China, Ying and South Korea have widely developed it. In recent years, even Japan and South Korea have attached great importance to the project of Go!
As far as the history of the Asian Games is concerned, in addition to China being the birthplace of Go and attaching great importance to it, Go has been listed as an event twice in the 2010 Suizhou Asian Games and the 2022 Qiantang Asian Games. Except for Asian Games competitions.
None of the other Asian Games held in Japan and South Korea included Go!
So, after the end of the Qiantang Asian Games, almost the entire world chess world has acquiesced that the next Asian Games Go competition will be far away.
But he never expected that this time he would turn around and come back to life!
As for this news, Liu Shixian, as the first person in the world, is naturally happy to see it happen.
You must know that although he has completed the great cause of the World Championship "Grand Slam", in his book of honor, there is a very unique "Asian Games Go Men's Individual Event Gold Medal" missing.
At the 2022 Qiantang Asian Games, Mr. Liu did not perform well in the semi-finals of the men's individual event, and ultimately lost to Xu Lifan, the number one player from Huaxia Baodao who was in excellent form in the competition. Winning the bronze medal can be said to be a major regret in his career so far.
Now that I have a chance to make up for it, Master Liu is in a good mood.
Oh, by the way...
The Go event in the Asian Games can be retained this time... It should be partly due to her, right?
Although she is a Chinese chess player, the noise she has made in the past two years has not only affected China...
But just as Master Liu couldn't help but nod, he was full of interest. Suddenly, a young voice came out with a cold voice:
"Liu Jiuduan, I have found you!"
The voice spoke in Chinese, and Liu Shixian knew who it was before he even raised his eyes:
"Lei Jiudan, you are fine!"
The first person in the world to show his iconic signature A gentle smile, but unfortunately...
The other party didn’t seem to buy it:
“No, no, no, I wasn’t feeling well after the last time we said goodbye!
"Thanks to someone, my mother is now doubting my sexual orientation..."
"Sexual orientation?"
Liu Shixian suddenly became confused:
" What's going on?"
"Don't worry about it!
"I just want to ask: Why did some of the things I said to you in private appear in public reports by your South Korean media afterwards?"
"...Ah?!
"Oh ——"
After a brief surprise, Liu Shixian reacted very quickly to what was going on.
Even judging from his fast blinking eyes, he seemed to have no idea why Lei Qi would People who were suspected of sexual orientation all understood everything.
"...So, can't we talk about this matter?
"I originally thought that there was nothing that couldn't be mentioned in such a generous and innocent relationship! "
"Of course not! "
Xiao Lei Jiudan suddenly became a little hysterical:
" Otherwise, how could I be suspected by my mother! ! ! ”
"Ah...I'm sorry. I was careless!"
Liu Shixian waved his hands and tried to hold back his smile and said:
"Lei Qi 9th Dan, I apologize to you for this!" It's my fault!
"To express my apology, in exchange, you can also ask me any private questions.
“For this question, I will answer truthfully and agree that you can publish my answer to the public. Do you think that is okay?”
"..."
Hearing this, Lei Qi was speechless for a moment.
He originally wanted to come to Liu Shixian to vent his slightly depressed mood.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so open-minded and directly stated that he was willing to "reciprocate harm and pay with blood", which made him feel a little confused.
“…This is not necessary, just pay attention next time!”
After a short moment of silence, Lei Qi left these words and prepared to turn around and leave. At the same time, he secretly said that this young master of the Liu family is really difficult to deal with.
However...
At this time, Xiaolei has not realized that the real difficulty for Liu Shixian is still to come...
"...Oh! Don't do it to me either. You are so disdainful of your privacy!"
Liu Shixian said softly:
"Since you don't want to choose the ninth level of Lei Qi, then I will choose the most interesting private things to tell you..."
"...Eh?"
