One afternoon, Su Rui received a phone call. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After answering the phone, he visibly became excited, as if something good had happened.

This call came from Chen Xing from the Tianxing Go Dojo, who won a place for Su Rui in the Go tournament and asked him to prepare for the competition.

In other words, this game is not an ordinary competition, but in the Go world, it is a heavyweight competition.

This competition is the Chunlan Cup Zhenjie Professional Go Championship, which is a Zhenjie Go competition sponsored by the Zhenguo Go Association and sponsored by Chunlan Group.

Chunlan Cup was born in 1998, which is the first professional Go tournament sponsored by Zhenjie and one of the most important Go tournaments in Zhenguo, and it also occupies a lot of influence in the entire Zhenjie.

There are a total of 1,344 countries and regions, including 1,158 countries and 186 regions.

The area of Zhenjie is the largest, the population is also the largest, and the overall strength is also the strongest, and Zhenguo is located in Zhenjie.

Generally speaking, the six realms do not interfere with each other, they all live in peace with each other, there are few conflicts, and there are quite few opportunities for intersection.

In this case, there are basically very few world-class competitions, and at most it is only a large-scale competition, but the population of the Zhenjie alone has reached 14.5 billion, and as long as it is a Zhenjie-level competition, its scale is already very large.

In addition to the top three of the previous session, the remaining 21 places are allocated by many countries, of which Zhenguo is the highest, with 8 places.

It's just that the population of Zhenguo has exceeded 2.8 billion, and I don't know how many professional Go players there are, so many people compete for 8 places, you can imagine how rare it is.

And now, Chen Xing has won a qualification for Su Rui through his connections, no wonder he is so excited.

If Su Rui hadn't joined the Tianxing Go Dojo, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to qualify alone, and it was Chen Xing's strong recommendation that he obtained such a qualification.

In fact, Chen Xing recommended Su Rui to participate in the competition, and the main reason was for Xia Yiqing's sake.

After all, Su Rui's performance level was not too high, compared to some of Chen Xing's apprentices, it was still inferior, and under normal circumstances, he would not be recommended to participate in such a high-level opponent.

From this point of view, Su Rui has the opportunity to participate in this competition, most of which is still thanks to Xia Yiqing, without her, Chen Xing would not have given him the opportunity to sharpen in this competition.

Su Rui is naturally very clear about this, and he is also very grateful to Xia Yiqing.

After answering the call, he began to prepare.

Although the proportion of people who like Go is not high, the total population is too much, the population of Zhenjie alone has reached 14.5 billion, and even if Zhenguo has 2.8 billion people, even if the proportion is small, the number of spectators will still not be small.

As long as Su Rui can make a name for himself in the Chunlan Cup, he will definitely get a lot of attention, and his faith value is naturally indispensable.

That's why he attaches so much importance to this competition, and he must come back with a good result, so that he doesn't need to worry about faith points, and he can also improve various skills to a higher level.

Therefore, for the Chunlan Cup, Su Rui attaches great importance to it and is determined to make achievements.

Only when he emerges in the Chunlan Cup will he be valued by Chen Xing, so as to gain more qualifications to participate in the competition, which is a virtuous circle, and on the contrary, if he wants to participate in a competition of this scale, the difficulty will increase many times.

……

Three days later, the Chunlan Cup officially began, and Su Rui stood on the competition venue as one of the contestants.

Speaking of which, except for him, the other players are all famous, and he is the only one who belongs to the newcomer, and no one has heard of his name.

After all, in the eyes of these professional players, the National Collegiate Go League can only be regarded as a small fight, and there is no way to compare with professional competitions, so naturally they will not pay attention to this game.

Not only that, but when he participated in the competition, Su Rui also wore a mask throughout the whole process, and no one knew him.

He is not well-known, and it is the first time for him to participate in such a high-level Go competition, and he can only be regarded as a marginal figure who has not been paid attention to.

Before the start of the game, Chen Xing said to Su Rui: "You don't have to be nervous, just treat it as an ordinary game and strive to reach the quarterfinals." ”

"Yes, you're playing professionally for the first time, so you don't have to worry about it, you just have to do your best. Xia Yiqing also came to watch the game, mainly to cheer him up.

Su Rui nodded and said, "I'll do my best." ”

In fact, his hope is still very big, mainly because some long-famous chess players have not participated in this Chunlan Cup, which means that the competitive pressure is much less, and the chance of entering the quarterfinals should still be possible in Chen Xing's view, as long as it is not too unlucky.

The competition process of the Chunlan Cup is that the first four rounds are eliminated, the first round is decided by draw, and the final is a three-way system.

In the first round of the competition, 8 people had byes, and the places were allocated according to the regional quota of the top 8 in the previous session, with a total of 16 participants, and 8 winners and byes entered the second round.

In the second round, 16 people participated in the competition, thus determining the top 8.

As a novice, Su Rui is naturally not eligible for a bye, so he must participate in the competition honestly.

After passing the draw, his opponent was a South Korean who looked a little arrogant.

In broken Chinese, the Korean asked, "The first time I heard your name, have you participated in any competitions before?"

"No, I'm playing professionally for the first time. Su Rui told the truth.

Hearing this, the Korean player was a little disdainful, and said: "It turned out to be a novice who entered by relationships, and you Zhenguo are like this, you can only rely on relationships, and you don't have real skills." ”

"Please be respectful!" Hearing this, Su Rui was naturally a little angry.

The Korean player snorted and said, "If you have the ability to prove my words wrong, then I will apologize to you." ”

If this wasn't a competition, Su Rui would definitely beat the other party, but if he did it now, he would definitely be disqualified from the competition, and then the other party would be even more satisfied.

So, he decided not to say more and use his strength to defend his dignity.

After the start of the game, Su Rui found that the opponent's level was quite high, slightly better than him, and he was stimulated by the opponent, his mentality was a little confused, and he fell into a disadvantage at the beginning.

"I'm really right, you only qualified for the competition by relying on your relationship, are you wearing a mask for fear of losing face, so you don't dare to show your face. "The South Korean athlete is constantly using words to provoke.

Chen Xing and Xia Yiqing, who were outside the court, were a little nervous after seeing this situation.
