[Comprehensive] Goddess Event Book

Seoul, South Korea

"Which one do you think will win?"

A female graduate student at a Go dojo in South Korea asked a little brother with a mushroom head beside her. Although it seemed strange for a big sister to ask a little brother, in the world of Go, there are only strengths and weaknesses, and the rest are not worth mentioning at all.This female graduate student is not ranked among the large number of graduate students. The boy with a mushroom head is a star figure, and his chess skills are much stronger than her.

"Of course it's Senior Gao Yongxia!" The little boy didn't speak, and a boy with black hair and long bangs beside him had already made a firm conclusion.

"Li Shengcheng?" The girl obviously didn't believe the boy's assertion, after glancing at him, her eyes moved to the little boy again.

The mushroom-headed boy pursed his lips, and seemed to have thought seriously for a long time: "Probably, maybe Liu Anna has a better chance of winning in the first stage."

Leaving aside the surprised expression of the female graduate student, the boy named Li Shengcheng couldn't help it: "Hey, Hong Xiuying, you boy! Don't you just say this because you lost to Liu Anna in the first stage of the guiding chess? That's Senior Gao Yongxia, how could Senior Gao Yongxia lose!"

Hong Xiuying didn't even look at him, but Lin Rihuan, the tall man next to him, couldn't stand it any longer: "I said, what 'hey hey hey', Li Shengcheng is polite to you! Is this what you should say?"

South Korea, like Japan, is a country that pays great attention to the politeness of seniors, and South Korea is stricter than Japan in this regard.The age arrangement in life, seniors and juniors in school, juniors and juniors in the workplace, there is a rule of thumb.If there are no special circumstances, it is a matter of course for the seniors to dominate the juniors.

Hong Xiuying is younger than Li Shengcheng, but at the level of graduate students in the Go Dojo, Hong Xiuying is Li Shengcheng's predecessor, and her strength is stronger.Therefore, Hong Xiuying can 'teach' Li Shengcheng at any time.Don't say that he can't teach at a young age, if Hong Xiuying wants to make a move, most people will help him.

It's not that Hong Xiuying is popular, it's just that the 'seniors' are supposed to protect their own vested interests, how can it be possible to have unruly juniors!

Only then did Li Shengcheng realize that he was too arrogant under the excitement, and quickly lowered his head: "I'm sorry, senior Hong Xiuying."

Hong Xiuying has a cold face, unlike ordinary children, and her personality is not very good.In fact, he is not a bad person, and he has no interest in the seniors oppressing the younger ones. Nodding his head is considered to acknowledge Li Shengcheng's apology and expose the incident.

"I know I should be quieter." Lin Rihuan stood beside Hong Xiuying. It's not that he must embarrass Li Shengcheng, but in the world of Go, being weak is the original sin.

"You know how many strings there are in a guitar, but you don't know how to play Go. Don't be ashamed of yourself here!"

Li Shengcheng entered the Weiqi dojo last year, and his performance was not bad at that time. Everyone is more optimistic about his development.It's just that this kid fell in love with the idol of the entertainment company, and even formed a band to perform in Myeongdong, but Go retreated instead.

It is said that he wanted to stop being a Go player and switch to being a trainee.It's just that after participating in the selection, the entertainment company was dissatisfied and was not selected-although this kind of thing was done without telling the people of the Go Dojo, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and it spread quickly.

Although he did not violate the rules of the dojo, and the dojo could not give any punishment, this undoubtedly annoyed a group of seniors in the dojo.

"Xiuying, how did you and Liu Anna play in the first stages of chess... how do you feel? Gao Yongxia, you have played several games with him, do you have any specific conclusions?" Lin Rihuan still pays more attention to the opinions of Hong Xiuying, a junior. It's just because Hong Xiuying seems to have potential, and it's because Hong Xiuying is the only graduate student among them who has played chess with Anna.

Anna got the opportunity to exchange and study in South Korea in February, which is of course what she dreamed of.

Although the decline of Japanese Go has come out, Korean Go was still learning Japanese Go just a few years ago!Therefore, they attach great importance to Liu Anna, a chess player from the Japanese chess academy, coming to Korea to study-probably because the former teacher finally gave in and learned from the students, the students' inner feelings are of course different.

What's more important is that Liu Anna is a disciple of Taya Yukihiro. Taya Yukiyo's years of learning chess, and later youth, that was the golden age of Japanese Go.At that time, all the top Korean chess players came to Japan to study, and many even studied in Japan to hone their chess skills since they were young.Some people stayed at Nippon Kiin after their chess skills became great, and some chose to return to China.

So Taya Yukihiro also has a very strong relationship in Korea, such as mentors, apprentices and so on.One of the juniors, Lin Zhixun, was once the most famous chess player in Korea. For several years, he had two points with another chess player-Taya Yukihiro directly asked Lin Zhixun to take care of Anna.

During Anna's stay in Korea, Lin Zhixun actually treated her as an inner disciple and lived directly at Lin Zhixun's house.

As for Hong Xiuying, he is Lin Zhixun's disciple.Of course not inner disciples—inner disciples are a traditional way of recruiting apprentices in the Japanese Go world. After accepting apprentices, disciples live and eat at the teacher’s house, and they don’t move out until they get married as adults or reach the fifth dan.

The inner disciple system was very popular in the past, but it has become less and less common these years. Even in Japan, there are not many inner disciples, let alone South Korea.

But the disciples are also very close. In fact, more students can only be called "under the sect", that is to say, they have been instructed by a certain teacher, but the relationship between the teacher and the students is very reluctant!In fact, most of the chess players in the Taya Research Association can only be regarded as the "students" of Taya celebrities.

Lin Zhixun's [-]th dan cherished Hong Xiuying's disciple very much. After learning about Anna's chess strength, he specially asked her to play a few games of guiding chess for Hong Xiuying.Because Lin Zhixun's [-]th dan didn't mean to hide it, everyone in the Go dojo basically knows it.

"Senior Gao Yongxia and Liu Anna are both smarter than me in the first stage, what's the matter with me commenting on their chess calculations?" Hong Xiuying shook her head while looking at the game record transmitted from the game room.

Gao Yongxia is a new young chess player in Korea this year, one year younger than Anna.But he is not as simple as a rookie player. He has already become famous before he entered the stage, and he is regarded as a future pillar by the Korean Go community.

Without him, his dominance in Go is really outstanding.

Nowadays, the control flow of No.1 in Korean Go is in full swing, and the young Korean Go players who have played it have a tendency to march in this direction.And Gao Yongxia was not like this from the very beginning of learning chess. His characteristic is that he has great strength and strong attack, and his counterattack is fast and accurate!

His style will not be changed by the mainstream of the chess world. To put it bluntly, he is the kind of person who can challenge the tradition.As early as when he was not a professional chess player, he had won many professional chess players, and everyone was extremely optimistic about his future.

"If nothing else happens, the professional chess world in the next ten years will be his."

Although the Koreans have always been the king of mouthpieces, they can talk big, but they speak so firmly and decisively, from which we can imagine Gao Yongxia's domineering unparalleled in Go.

As for the chess game between Gao Yongxia and Liu Anna, it is not actually an official match, it is just a Korea-Japan exchange match temporarily sponsored by a Korean company.Not only their games, but also other chess players.

But this level of sponsorship was not high, and it was too hasty, and no heavyweight players were invited at all.So much so that among the several chess games, the one that attracted the most attention was today's Gao Yongxia vs. Liu Anna - the two first rounds!

Of course, such an effect can be achieved more because Gao Yongxia and Liu Anna are very unusual.

Gao Yongxia is the pillar of the Korean Go world in the future. Is Anna just a soy sauce character?Now she is the little princess of the Japanese Ki Academy. She is really afraid of falling if she holds it in her hand, and she is afraid of melting if she holds it in her mouth.

The reason why she has this status is that she is a beautiful girl chess player, which is a real scarce resource.More importantly, she did show strong potential and strength, which raised different hopes in the Japanese Go world.

This chess game was broadcasted not only by Korean TV stations, but also by the Japanese side, who was not far behind and got the right to broadcast the game. The chess player Kurata, who commented on the chess, directly called this game a "juvenile teacher's decisive battle".

"The future of the Japanese and Korean Go worlds, the war has already begun!"

In a way, Anna and Gao Yongxia's chess style is very strange.If you put aside the terrifying fact that Anna has a strong combat power in the middle abdomen, Anna's chess is not very aggressive.In other words, Anna doesn't like to emphasize things like fighting and defense, and she doesn't stick to which faction. More often, she likes to use feelings and calculations to measure.

And this style of Go is unique among female chess players!On the contrary, it is Gao Yongxia's strong desire to fight, which can be called a desperate Saburo when attacking, which is very similar to a female chess player.

The names of the two of them are covered in their chess records. I am afraid that Gao Yongxia's black chess is a female chess player, and Anna's white chess is a male chess player who is good at calculation.

Anna held the white back and moved very steadily.Gao Yongxia is very strong, and it can be seen that she will definitely have a bright future in the future, but for now, Anna can say responsibly that she is more powerful!

This is the same as Ryo Taya, who can see the potential, but the potential has not yet been fully transformed into strength.

Anna is not afraid of chess players like Gao Yongxia.Because she herself is also very powerful, if she fights in the middle abdomen, she can play so much that even a high-level chess player doubts life.And the mid-abdominal combat itself is the most test of strength.

More importantly, in such a complex attack, Gao Yongxia may not be able to see the situation clearly, but Anna can. Her precise selection of points is completely the product of the combination of innate sense and acquired calculation power. With this ability Not surprising either.

Two powerful people played chess. At first, everyone thought that this game would lead to the most intense battle, and dragon slaying and the like could not be expected - given that both Gao Yongxia and Anna had a brutal experience of winning dragon slaying.

To be reasonable, even for people in the industry, a mediocre famous situation is not as good-looking as catching the right assassin!

But this game of chess is beyond everyone's expectations, isn't it exciting?Really wonderful.But to say it was intense, it was far from enough.

Under the strong pressure of Anna, Gao Yongxia played his most exciting round, and his attack methods were unparalleled.If it wasn't for his young age, he hadn't proved himself in various chess games, he might have been nicknamed 'the world's number one attacker'.

As for Anna, she is like a volcano, and no one dares to underestimate her while she is dormant—it is because of her dormancy that everyone is worried about when she will really erupt.Looking at Gao Yongxia's side, it's a dilemma.

"You can't pass through the pass, you can't pass through the pass." At this time, Lin Zhixun, the biggest big player in the watching room outside, shook his head, pointed to a few young chess players around him and said, "Look, she is just a 14-year-old girl who already has Such comprehensive observation and endurance are terrifying, don't you people know how to make progress!"

Everyone is used to being scolded by the master, and every young chess player can only wipe off his sweat and nod, not daring to make any rebuttals.

Instead, a reporter asked very anxiously: "Lin Zhixun's [-]th dan, does it mean that Gao Yongxia will lose?"

Those who engage in news, of course, everything is in the service of news.People in any country would not want their country's future star to lose to young people from another country, let alone South Korea, a country with very strong self-esteem.If Gao Yongxia loses, their news will not be easy to sell!

Lin Zhixun can only talk about Go in terms of Go: "From the point of view of the situation, that kid Yongxia has already been played by Anna."

This senior's judgment quickly spread throughout the entire viewing room. Although Lin Rihuan had imagined that Anna would win, he really felt it, starting with Lin Zhixun's [-]-dan conclusion.

"Gao Yongxia will lose?" No wonder he was so dazed, the Korean Go boys who were at the same time as Gao Yongxia were basically covered by his light.To put it bluntly, they were brought up by Gao Yongxia, and their youth was completely ruined by Gao Yongxia!

Although gnashing their teeth day and night, saying that one day they would overthrow Gao Yongxia, in fact Gao Yongxia really lost one day, and they were the most unacceptable.

"I lost."

Simply never procrastinating, this is Gao Yongxia's style, without saying anything else, he has already stood up.

Go etiquette in South Korea is very bad, so he got up directly like this, and there will not be much discussion in Korea-the most important thing is that everyone is very considerate. sad.Then there is a little lack of Go etiquette, which is understandable and understandable.

However, Gao Yongxia didn't leave directly, instead he glared at Anna: "You are obviously a young man, but you have learned Go from the older generation! A waste of your talent!"

In fact, Anna is not very familiar with this young leader in South Korea. She has been in South Korea for three months, and she is learning more from more mature professional chess players.She only heard comments occasionally, and knew that this young genius was notorious for his bad mouth, and his words could piss people off.

This time it was seen.

"But I won!"

Anna would not lose if she played tricks. She did use the popular chess style of the older generation in Korea, but what's wrong with the chess style?It is also very easy to shut up Gao Yongxia, because she won.

Gao Yongxia has countless things to say, as long as Anna emphasizes that she won, there is nothing to say about it.After all, the thesis of Go theory is based on words, and there will be no result in 100 years, but the victory or defeat is clear.The loser has no right to speak. This can be compared with "weakness is the original sin", which is the only law of this world.

As expected, Gao Yongxia had nothing to say, and Anna laughed as she cleaned up the chessboard—this younger brother was quite funny when he stared blankly.

"In short, thank you for your advice!" Anna performed a perfect etiquette and walked past Gao Yongxia.

Gao Yongxia touched his nose when he turned around. The faint scent of flowers on Anna's body was a rare sight in the Go game room, and he was not used to it.

"Anna, you are going back to Japan in two days." Lin Zhixun drove Anna home.

Anna nodded: "Yes, go back to Japan. I really trouble you these days!"

Anna has really lived a fulfilling three months, not only studying in South Korea, but more importantly, she did not miss the competition in Japan.Fortunately, this is her first year as a professional chess player, there are not many chess games, sometimes once a week, sometimes every two weeks is not uncommon.

The Chess Institute understands that she is in Korea, and will try to arrange her matches as much as possible. Generally speaking, her "exchange and study" career has not been affected.By the way, she continued the winning streak. As for the next step, she will enter the round-robin circle of Honinbo.It just so happened that her studies in South Korea came to an end, and she had to return to Japan at this time.

So the return to Japan this time is different from the previous return to Japan. This is a real return, and there should be competitions when I come to Korea in the future.

"As long as we play Go, everyone will always have a chance to meet." Lin Zhixun suddenly sighed: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Taya in Korea this year, but when it comes to international competitions, we will always see him?"

I don't know if senior Lin Zhixun sighed about his return to China, or he missed his teacher even more, but Anna laughed: "We will see each other."

"Ah, you can't leave Korean behind when you return home!" Lin Zhixun suddenly reminded Anna.

It is impossible for Anna to be unprepared before coming to South Korea, although playing Go only needs to be discussed with hands.But in daily life, it is very troublesome to not be able to communicate at all, so she hired a teacher to learn basic Korean.

When she came to South Korea, her Korean stuttered and she couldn't express her meaning. Fortunately, everyone was very tolerant of her as a foreigner. They didn't say anything, and they were willing to make great efforts to understand what she was talking about.

Language is a thing that is very particular about the environment. Anna thinks that she has no language talent, at least her English is difficult to describe.But it's amazing that she can learn Japanese very well.As for Korean, it was bad at the beginning, but after Korea, it quickly became better.

"In this way, I will be able to speak Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I will not be able to play Go in the future. I should be able to be a translator, right?" She was still so complacent.

"I will not leave it behind. After all, Go is still a game of China, Japan and South Korea. Other countries can participate, but the essence will never be achieved. In order to understand the latest developments in the Go world, it is best to master these three languages. s Choice!"

In the past three months, Anna has experienced a country that ranks first in Go today. Compared with the old-school powerhouse Japan, or the real country of origin, which is now growing rapidly, it is impossible to say who is good and who is bad, but each has its own advantages. , there are many places for people to learn.

It is indeed a lot more convenient to master three languages.

After packing up her things and saying goodbye to the chess players she had contact with, Anna boarded the flight to Japan.The distance between South Korea and Japan is not far. Anna has studied the latest chess game of Mr. Taya for a while, and there is already a hint that she is about to arrive at her destination.

"I'm not always reluctant, I just insist on being strong!"

After getting off the plane, Anna heard her own voice, and looked up to see her figure on the big screen in the airport lobby.

"Anna-chan's advertisement has already hit the airport? It's really surprising!" It was the familiar voice of senior brother Lu Yuan. Anna turned her head, and there were senior brothers Lu Yuan and Ogata, and sister Liu Mingmei.They came to pick up the plane. Although they were not together, they also met.

On the big screen was an advertisement for a big-name sporting goods manufacturer in Japan. I don't know what they thought, but they fell in love with Anna's advertisement.

Reasonably speaking, Anna is very good and is considered to be the future star of Nihon Ki-in, but Go itself is a relatively small game, and Anna has not yet fully proved her strength.Under such circumstances, it is also confusing to receive such a big-name advertisement.

It is said that the folk influence of the Go project is quite large, and there are also some popular and good-looking chess players who will cross-border, such as filming magazines, releasing records, and print advertisements.But TV commercials?This is really rare.

But if the manufacturer is willing to spend money to hire Anna, there is nothing to say.As for Anna, no matter whether it is to make money, or to further expand the influence of Go, she will not refuse.

It's just that she is still worried-if the advertisement is not effective, it will have a negative effect on the promotion of Go, right?
