Chapter 89: Practicing chess is very hard
Chapter 89: Practicing chess is very hard
On the same morning, Yanbei Middle School.
The first round of the "City Cup" rematch has already started.
While the players were playing fiercely in the game room, Ai Jianan found a relatively quiet corner, moved a chair, and showed up to be a temporary anchor. He chatted with the audience in the live broadcast room and waited for Rui Zhao to finish the game.
In fact, if given a choice, Ai Jianan would naturally not want to be absent from the show for a long time: this would have a huge impact on popularity and audience stickiness.
But she had no choice: her own main anchor was a Go idiot!
She was not happy at all to spare some time for chess practice and normal live broadcast, so she could only make do with broadcasting the competition...
Fortunately, Rui Zhao's chess skills are much better than most amateur players, and most of the games can be finished within half an hour.
Ai Jianan is also a beauty, and she is also adept at making all kinds of jokes during conversations, which allows her to maintain the popularity of the live broadcast room to the extent that the room will not be forgotten by the time Rui Zhao returns.
"…Huh? Why is there a comment asking if I'm single? I'm single!"
"What type do you like? Ah... We can discuss this crucial topic later when there are more fans of Xiao Zhao! Please introduce your friends to follow me~"
……
After dealing with several questions in succession, Ai Jianan saw that someone in the live broadcast room had brought up a new topic.
“[Do you feel that Xiao Zhao has been much more active in live streaming recently? I felt that he lacked some enthusiasm before]…
"A lot more active? I guess she's gradually getting used to it! Xiao Zhao has never been a host before, so she also needs some time to adapt..."
Ai Jianan handled this potentially controversial topic with ease.
To be honest, Ai Jianan actually feels the same way about this.
During the live audition, although Rui Zhao actively cooperated, there was always a sense that he was forced to do the job.
But in the three live broadcasts since the preliminaries, she was obviously more active. This also made Ai Jianan quite pleased, and she felt happy that her own iron tree finally blossomed.
However, in front of the audience, he couldn't admit that Rui Zhao had not been enthusiastic enough in the previous live broadcast, so he could only find a simpler reason.
At this moment, a cheerful shout was suddenly heard approaching.
"Sister An An! I'm back!"
Xiao Zhao Miao is back!
Ai Jianan smiled and said to the camera, "Xiao Zhao is back," and then stood up to greet the triumphant cat girl.
"Xiao Zhao, won again?"
"Well, I won!"
Although there was still a hint of fatigue between his brows, overall Rui Zhao was in a good mood after winning.
Ai Jianan immediately turned the camera back to the girl:
"You look relaxed! You're back just in time. Some viewers here said that you've been quite active in your live broadcasts in recent days. Have you gradually adapted to the rhythm of live broadcasts?"
According to Ai Jianan's idea, he had just been broadcasting on behalf of others for so long, and now that the host was back, he needed to get back online as soon as possible.
As for the previous topic, I had already preset the answer in the question, so I just needed Rui Zhao to continue the conversation and I would naturally reintegrate into the live broadcast.
But the girl's answer was somewhat different from what she expected:
“It may be because I am becoming more and more familiar with it, but the most important reason is probably that I hope that through my live broadcast, everyone can experience the charm of Go.
"Something happened recently in the 'Metropolitan Cup'... I am a little worried that people will have a negative view of Go because of this.
"But I want to tell you that the vast majority of people who play Go love it from the bottom of their hearts. It is really a very attractive sport. If I could, I would play Go every day, so I hope everyone would be willing to learn about it and try it..."
"Okay, okay! I know you really like Go! No need to emphasize it again and again!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ai Jianan quickly interrupted Rui Zhao's words in a joking tone.
It is a taboo in live broadcasts to talk at length about things that the audience does not care about, so she certainly cannot let her main star express himself so freely.
However... she also understood why Rui Zhao had been more enthusiastic in his recent live broadcasts.
Seriously, I thought you finally got the hang of live streaming!
In the end, live streaming is just a byproduct...
What a big pig's hoof!
Just when Ai Jianan was secretly complaining about her own pillars in her heart, she didn't expect someone to suddenly call them.
"Hmm? You two...are you doing a live broadcast? Live broadcast of Go?"
“Yeah, that’s right!
"Sir, let me tell you about 'Go Xiao Zhao'~" Ai Jianan was quick-witted. When he heard someone talking to him, he answered casually and turned around to introduce himself to the other person.
But when he turned around and saw the other person's face, Ai Jianan's face immediately darkened.
She glanced at Rui Zhao standing beside her and saw that the smile on Rui Zhao's face froze instantly and gradually turned into a serious expression.
Although she had never met this person, she had looked up his photo online after the audition:
Former professional 6th dan, now the so-called "amateur th dan chess player" - Bai Yinhua.
As expected, he finished downloading early!
Logically speaking, since the two parties have never met each other, they should not show disrespect to each other as soon as they meet.
But for Ai Jianan, even though she doesn't play Go much now, she is still an amateur after all and has devoted herself to Go wholeheartedly.
Anyone who has a genuine passion for Go would find it hard to be friendly with a former professional player who deliberately retired to muddy the waters of amateur competitions.
"Oh, sorry everyone, I have to disconnect for two minutes due to something urgent! I will resume the live broadcast after I finish the work! Please wait for us for a moment!"
She immediately apologized to the camera, then turned off the live broadcast and said to Bai Yinhua unhappily:
"Bai Ye 6, you are so shameless that you dare to talk to someone in a place where Go enthusiasts gather!"
Bai Yinhua was stunned after hearing this, as if he had not expected that he would be criticized so directly. He immediately responded without giving in:
"What's wrong with that? I saw someone live-streaming a Go game without knowing the consequences, and I just wanted to persuade him to stop!"
Ai Jianan sneered: "Why can't we play Go?"
Bai Yinhua looked at the two beauties in front of him and smiled mockingly:
"You two are both pretty. Why don't you broadcast something else? Why don't you broadcast Go? How many people are watching it now?
“Since you are a broadcaster, you should learn to choose the most appropriate content to broadcast!
"I was trying to give you some good advice, but you guys responded with such an unfriendly tone!"
Ai Jianan frowned and was about to say something to him. But at this moment, Rui Zhao took the initiative to speak:
"But I am a chess player first, Bai Ye6.
"If I were to broadcast... I would only broadcast Go."
"Chess player?"
Bai Yinhua was amused by this.
"A little girl who hasn't even achieved professional status is worthy of being called a chess player?"
"It's better than someone who would voluntarily give up the honor of a professional chess player!" Rui Zhao retorted with a trembling voice.
Bai Yinhua didn't care about Rui Zhao's counterattack.
In recent days, he has received countless insults and condemnations on WeChat, and he has become numb to it.
"Oh, your kindness is taken for granted!
"It's entirely possible that with this face, you could make millions a year by live-streaming something else, but you live-stream Go? And you still call yourself a Go player?
"What do you mean by good words can't persuade someone who wants to die! Those people in the Go community can only survive thanks to idiots like you!"
After saying this, Bai Yinhua didn't bother to say any more and turned away.
"...Xiao Zhao, meow, I understand why you want to beat him so badly."
Ai Jianan was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Ah, thank you for understanding."
Rui Zhao relaxed his expression and gave a small smile.
"However, after just meeting him, I have more confidence."
"Ah? Why?" Ai Jianan was quite confused.
Rui Zhao pursed his lips and explained softly:
"Now, he really doesn't like Go at all. But can someone who doesn't love Go really practice it well?
"...You know, if you don't like Go, practicing is very hard!"
The six updates on the shelves have ended here, and two updates will be restored later~
I have tried my best to be a punk.
