"You haven't enjoyed playing chess in online Go, have you?" Zhou Xiaochuan replied to it when people were not paying attention, but did not agree to its request.

In a gazebo in Liuchunyun Park, Sun Wenwen pulled out a bamboo stick marked with a red pen from the box. The organizers of this International Go Invitational Tournament really put a lot of thought into it, and even this small lottery is antique.

After holding this bamboo stick in her hand, Sun Wenwen asked with some puzzlement: "Sister Su Xuan, why don't you draw lots?" Don't you have any interest in playing against the best Go players at home and abroad? ”

"Of course there is interest, but this time the organizers have a rule that only amateurs are eligible to participate in the lottery, and professional Go players like us are not eligible to draw lots, and can only play soy sauce on the side." When Su Xuan said this, her expression was a little regretful, although she had already participated in the first-class Go League, there were still not many opportunities to play against first-class chess players at home and abroad. What's more, the recent game with the mysterious master Millennium King 80,000-year-old turtle on the Internet Go made her feel that she benefited a lot, and she also wanted to play against first-class masters to verify the improvement and harvest of her chess strength.

Just as the three of them walked out of the pavilion where the lottery was drawn, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of them, and there was surprise in the voice that spoke: "Mr. Zhou, why are you here?" Zhou Xiaochuan looked up and saw that the girl in front of him was not Fang Xiang who he met at the door of the stray cat gǒu shelter last time? At this moment, Fang Xiang was the same as that day, dressed smartly holding the microphone, but behind her, in addition to following the photographer, there was also a young man with a face full of surprise, just when her voice just fell. The young man also smiled and said, "Just now Fang Xiang was saying that she saw Mr. Zhou, I thought she was dazzled by the mistake." I didn't expect it to be really Mr. Zhou. "This young man is Fang Xiang's elder brother Fang Tuohai.

After a few words of greeting, Zhou Xiaochuan asked casually: "Fang Xiang is here for an interview today, what are you doing Fang Tuohai?" Not really, you're also a Go enthusiast, right? ”

Fang Tuohai nodded: "Because of my grandfather's influence, I have been learning Go since I was a child, and this time I heard that the International Go Invitational Tournament was held in Liuchunyun Park, so I came here to join in the fun, but I didn't expect to meet you, Mr. Zhou." Fang Xiang interjected at this time: "Mr. Zhou." Didn't we say we would have lunch together last time? Why did you release my pigeons in the end, causing me to wait outside the stray cat gǒu shelter for a long time. You can't release my pigeons again today, and when this activity is over, give our two siblings a chance. Let's say thank you. ”

The enthusiasm of the two brothers and sisters of the Fang family. Zhou Xiaochuan was a little overwhelmed: "I didn't come alone today, there are still friends." ”

After looking at Sun Wenwen and Su Xuan beside Zhou Xiaochuan, Fang Tuohai smiled and said, "Then let's go together." How simple it is! Besides, since they appear here, they must all be people who love Go, and they are not afraid of not having a common topic. Mr. Zhou, if you refuse again, you will look down on us! ”

"This ......" Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Sun Wenwen with some hesitation.

Sun Wenwen is still quite sensible. whispered: "Brother Zhou, since people have said this. If you don't agree, I'm afraid it will really chill people's hearts, so let's agree, anyway, I'm going to eat with you today. ”

Fang Tuohai and Fang Xiang are both martial arts practitioners, and their hearing is higher than that of ordinary people, although Sun Wenwen's voice is small, they still hear it. Immediately, Fang Xiang said: "Look, there is no problem with everyone's little sister, Mr. Zhou, don't hesitate anymore." ”…,

The words have already been said on this, and Zhou Xiaochuan has no reason to refuse, so he can only nod and say: "In that case, then okay, when the event here is over, let's find a place to have two drinks." ”

"Great!" Fang Tuohai and Fang Xiang, the two siblings, were overjoyed. Then Fang Xiang said: "Brother, I still have interview work here, Mr. Zhou, they will ask you to take care of and accompany you." He followed the cameraman to the place where the first-class chess players at home and abroad rested for an interview, leaving Fang Tuohai to accompany Zhou Xiaochuan and others.

After a while, the bamboo sticks prepared by the organizer were drawn, and the activities before the official competition also kicked off. In the introduction of the host, first-class chess players at home and abroad appeared one after another in the beautiful water pavilion next to the small lake in Liuchunyun Park, which immediately attracted a cheer from the chess lovers outside the water pavilion.

This time, the International Go Invitational Tournament held in Shide City took the form of a team battle, perhaps to keep the main players in the team to keep their energy and try their best to cope with the official competition starting tomorrow, so those who participated in today's game with amateurs were not the main players. But even so, these people's chess skills are still top-notch, but they are weaker in comparison to their respective teams. Of course, according to the requirements of the organizers, before the start of the event, all the contestants have to appear in this water pavilion to boost the popularity of the scene.

This time the Go Invitational Tournament really deserves the prefix of international, in addition to several traditional Go powers, there are also several teams from Southeast Asia. Of course, among these people, the most eye-catching is the player from Rì Han, a traditional powerhouse of Go.

It's just that at this moment, the five members of the Korean Go team are deaf to the cheers around them, and all of them have gloomy faces, and Zhao Rongheng, who is the main general, is still instructing the players participating in this competition in Korean: "Ji Dongyuan, you are in a hurry to make a quick decision later, and you must defeat the challenger in the shortest possible time, so that you can have more things to rest!" ”

Ji Dongyuan didn't speak, just nodded silently in reply. He was very unhappy that he was assigned to participate in this event, because it meant that he was the weakest player in the team. He would never admit this. In his opinion, his chess strength is a little worse than that of the main player Zhao Rongheng, and it is better than the other chess players in the team. He had a somewhat eccentric personality, although he didn't dare to get angry with Zhao Rongheng, he had already made up his mind to spread his anger on his next opponent.

Looking at the Go enthusiasts gathered outside the Water Pavilion, Chi Dongyuan sneered again and again: "A group of white idiots, who think that they have learned a little bit of Go skills, want to challenge us professional Go players, they really don't know the sky!" Later, I'll let you know how far you can compare to the professional players! ”

Go enthusiasts don't know what Ji Dongyuan is thinking, and at this moment, they are still looking forward to a rare opportunity to play against first-class professional Go players.

After the host introduced the professional Go players who came to participate in the International Go Invitational Tournament, today's event finally entered the second link, that is, the much-anticipated lottery link. According to the rules, each participating professional Go player will play against the three lucky lucky winners in order. And these lucky ones will also be selected by them themselves.

For Go enthusiasts gathered outside the Water Pavilion, the most anticipated opponents are naturally the players of the three traditional Go powers, China and Korea, among which the most popular players are the Chinese chess players. But judging from the situation on the scene, after all, there are more wolves and less meat, so as long as you can be evacuated, it doesn't matter if the opponent is not a chess player from China and South Korea, as long as you can have a good time. …,

According to the process, the first to choose the lucky ones were professional Go players from Southeast Asian countries, and the lucky ones who were selected by them were mixed. Needless to say, this is naturally because they have the opportunity to play against first-class professional Go players, and the worry is that the development of Go in Southeast Asia is far less than that of traditional Go powers such as China and Han, and their first-class professional Go players are also limited in chess power, which is not as good as that of traditional Go players such as China and Han. But overall, it's more joys than worries, after all, playing against a professional Go player is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most amateurs.

"Why haven't you drawn me......" Sun Wenwen, who was holding the bamboo stick numbered Jiasanyi, watched one after another lucky luck luckers being selected to the stage, but she didn't have her share, and it would be a lie to say that she was not in a hurry.

Su Xuan comforted: "Wenwen, don't worry, haven't you finished selecting the lucky luck, maybe, you are one of the three people who are the most lucky, and you have the opportunity to fight against our regular team." The Chang team she was talking about was Chang Lin, the captain of the Shide City Go team. Because this International Go Invitational Tournament was held in Shide City, Chang Lin also became a member of the Chinese national team. Of course, with his chess ability, he is indeed eligible to be selected, after all, he is now also a regular member of the national Go team.

Fang Tuohai also raised the bamboo stick in his hand at this time: "Yes, Sister Sun Xiaoxian, there is no need to worry." No, like you, I haven't been drained yet. ”

"Well, I'm not in a hurry." Although she said that she was not in a hurry, the expression on Sun Wenwen's face still betrayed her anxious mood at the moment.

After a while, among the remaining professional chess players, only Go players from the three countries of China and South Korea have not yet picked their respective opponents. At the request of the host, the three people each drew three sticks from the dark box at the same time and handed them over to the host.

The first thing the host read was the number of the three bamboo sticks drawn by the handmade vine Conan of the Go game: "Let's take a look at who are the three lucky lucky people drawn by Conan Kudo...... A 69, C 27, Ding 15! Congratulations to the three lucky ones! (To be continued))
