Chapter 89 Goddess
"Big Dipper Cup?!"
Everyone was stunned by An Taishan's proposal, this guy really dares to think!
Mr. Togari, the general manager of Beidou Communications, responded very quickly. He thought for a while and said, "I need to discuss with the board of directors. Please stay calm." Then he turned and left.
Atsushi Kurata frowned, "The captains of the Three Kingdoms contest? Then there will be three more rounds?"
Yang Hai was a little reluctant. If they really added individual competitions as An Taishan said, would their Lu Li have a good chance of winning against Gao Yongxia and Kuwahara Asama?
He objected, "I don't think it's necessary. The Beidou Cup is originally a team competition. It wouldn't be good to suddenly add individual competitions, right?"
An Taishan immediately sneered when he heard it, and he said to Yang Hai, "If you hadn't played out the order indiscriminately, we wouldn't have lost that match at all!"
Yang Hai raised his eyebrows. Facing An Taishan's accusation, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said with a smile, "We should budget the opponent's formation in advance, ensure our own greatest advantage, and arrange the contestants in order. What the team leader should do! It's because you don't have the best job, so it's my fault?"
Kurata interjected cheekily, "Why don't we try again! We don't care!"
"Do you think this is a child's play house?" An Taishan immediately retorted, "All re-competition? Beidou Communication Company will not agree!!"
After hearing this, Yang Hai sneered, "You also said that this is not a children's play house, so you still propose to hold an individual competition?"
The three team leaders BLABLA insisted on their own opinions and began to argue.
Kuwahara Asama rubbed his temples, touched his stomach, and whispered, "Aren't they hungry? It's already noon."
Ta Yaliang collected his mood, he couldn't see the frustration of losing the game, he said softly, "If there is another game, are you sure?"
"I'm naturally happy to be able to compete with Xia Gaoyong." Kuwahara Asama whispered, "How does it feel to play chess with him? Do you have any experience?"
Ta Yaliang pondered for a while, "He is another you, but he is more proud and flamboyant than you."
Kuwahara Asama was taken aback, "Another me..."
He looked at Gao Yongxia, coincidentally, Gao Yongxia just turned to look at him.
The two looked at each other. At this moment, it seemed that the air was stagnant, time was stopped, and space was broken.
The silent horn sounded passionately, and the black eyes flashed with a strong fighting spirit.
Kuwahara Asama smiled softly, which was really interesting.
After a while, the staff will guide everyone to the cafeteria for dinner, and the detailed discussion results will be announced after lunch.
Everyone ate this lunch absent-mindedly, and were anxiously waiting for the results of the Beidou Communication's discussion.
After the meal, Mr. Togari invited the leaders of the Three Kingdoms and representatives of the Kiin to the conference room for a meeting.
"I discussed it with the board of directors. Since everyone is so enthusiastic, we might as well add a game."
"One game?!"
"Yes, this Beidou Cup competition has received widespread attention and praise. The board of directors has decided to hold the Beidou Cup next year. Of course, the main event is still the youth team competition, but an individual competition can be added." Mr. Togari smiled. , "This individual competition will be added to the competition regulations. From then on, the Beidou Cup will be divided into team champions and individual champions. The team champion will naturally be the winner of the three-nation competition team. If the three countries draw, then the prize money will be shared equally."
An Taishan asked quickly, "What about the individual competition?"
"In the individual competition, the top two with the highest winning percentage will compete individually. The winner will be the individual champion of the Hokuto Cup, and the loser will also get a lot of money." Togari took out the results of the two days of competition from his pocket, "I looked at the report card. In this Beidou Cup competition, there happened to be two people who won all the competitions."
Everyone was stunned.
"The only two unanimous winners are Kuwahara Asama and Gao Yongxia." Mr. Togari said, "The game will start at [-]:[-] p.m., and the time will be three hours. The scheduled award ceremony will be moved to tomorrow morning."
He looked at everyone with a smile, "Any questions?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, An Taishan felt that it was not safe to only compete in one game, Yang Hai thought that the individual competition was nothing to them, Kurata Atsushi even felt that Ta Yaliang had the strength to compete, it was a pity to only compete in one round!
But these days, investors are gods, and the three of them were aggrieved for a long time, and finally said in unison, "... I have no objection."
"So it's confirmed? At three o'clock in the afternoon, I will play chess with Gao Yongxia?" Kuwahara Asama was a little surprised. To be honest, he thought he had no chance at first, but he didn't expect the twists and turns. caused such great consequences.
Should he thank Atsushi Kurata?
Shinto Hikaru stared at Kuwahara Asama fiercely, and encouraged him, "We must win!"
Ta Yaliang also looked at Kuwahara Asama, and said seriously, "You can't lose to him." After a pause, he said again, "I only lost half an eye, and you should at least make a draw."
Kuwahara Asama said speechlessly, "Do you think I am Master Toya Yukihiro and Gao Yongxia is Sai. In this kind of international competition, you can still play the cycle of four kalpas? It's a dream!"
"Anyway, you must not lose!!" Kurata Atsushi said loudly, "If you win the game, I will treat you to dinner when you go back!!"
Kuwahara Asama pouted, "I don't need you to treat me to dinner." He turned around, "I'm going to sleep for a while, don't disturb me."
"Yongxia, are you confident?" An Taishan looked at Gao Yongxia who was sitting opposite. In front of them was the game record of Kuwahara Asama's match against Hong Xiuying in the morning. Nothing came out."
Hong Xiuying drooped her head, and didn't understand why she lost this game until the replay was over.
Just because all his thoughts and thoughts are under the control of Kuwahara Asama, the chess he plays is naturally within the opponent's expectation.
Gao Yongxia smiled faintly, "The so-called confidence is a spiritual palace watered with the fruits of countless victories. Since I became a professional chess player, I dare not say that I will not lose a game, and I dare not say that I will not lose in the future, but I will definitely Doing my best in every game and chasing victory is my lifelong ideal, and this will never change.”
He raised his hand, picked up a piece on the chessboard, and played with it lightly, "I think the same is true for Asama Kuwahara. If he doesn't pursue winning or losing, why would he play such a chess that almost controls the overall situation?"
An Taishan looked at Gao Yongxia, his mood gradually calmed down, he sighed, "This time to participate in the Beidou Cup, I only hope that this platform can show your strength, but I didn't expect Cang Tianhou and Yang Hai to be too bullying, otherwise I would Won't……"
"No, what you have done is enough." Gao Yongxia smiled confidently, "Let me see the rest."
With the curtains drawn and the thin quilt covered, Kuwabara Asama huddled under the quilt, immersed in the small darkness, feeling extremely calm.
He thought he couldn't sleep, but in fact he was lying on the bed, thinking about how to play against Gao Yongxia, how to start, how to arrange, how to fight, how to end...
And then...he fell asleep.
In the dream, he was running in a dark place with nothing, and then the world suddenly exploded. The sky was blue, the grass was green under his feet, and the surroundings were dense forests. .
The flowers bloom and wither, the young buds break through the ground, the new branches are on the top, and the spring flowers are brilliant.
Among those flowers, there is one that blooms extremely beautifully, with fiery red petals and golden stamens.
Laughter like wind chimes came from a distant place, and then the dream became weaker and weaker, and finally shattered and dissipated like bubbles.
Asama Kuwahara opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling in a daze, all kinds of feelings came to his heart.
"It's been a long time... I haven't had a dream."
He got up, and there was a knock on the door outside, "Asama, the time is almost up."
Kuwahara Asama responded, he went to the bathroom next to him and washed his face, looked at the boy's eyes in the mirror, the deep crimson eyes seemed to be rolling, and seemed to be jumping for joy.
Kuwahara Asama touched her eyes subconsciously.
He took a deep breath and murmured, "I can't let you watch me lose..."
Must win!
Still wearing the off-white suit, Kuwahara Asama tidied up and opened the door, where Shinto Hikari, Toya Ryo, and Kurata Atsushi were all waiting for him.
Atsushi Kurata looked at the energetic Kuwahara Asama, and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, let's go!!"
The meeting place in the afternoon was packed with people, and the reporters were whispering, all discussing the sudden playoff of the Beidou Cup.
"I heard that Kuwahara Asama is playing against Gao Yongxia, more and more chess players are coming to watch the match!"
After hearing the report from the staff, Mr. Togari decisively rented a large meeting room from the hotel as a broadcast venue. At the same time, all the game materials urgently printed and distributed were in place, and this time not only chess players, but also chess academies from various countries in Japan came here. Chess players rushed to the venue one after another.
Kuwamoto Inbo happened to end the first Honinbo match in the morning. He lost to Ogata Seiji in the first game, but Kuwamoto Inbo didn't think so, and Ogata Seiji didn't think a game could explain anything. Kuwamoto Inbo returned leisurely After returning home, I heard that my grandson was going to compete with Gao Yongxia in the afternoon, so I immediately became interested and ran over after the lunch break.
"Change the location of the seminar room, and find a hotel to rent a big room." Mr. Togari listened to the advice of Mr. Itagaki from the Go Academy, thought for a while and said decisively to the staff, "These chess players are all powerful players in the Go world. High-strength chess players should be treated with caution."
"Yes! We will immediately negotiate with the hotel."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Kuwahara Asama and Gao Yongxia appeared at the competition venue on time.
Both looked relatively calm as they sat in front of the chessboard, waiting for the game to begin.
Kuwahara Asama was closing his eyes to rest, when Gao Yongxia suddenly said, "I always thought you were the master general, and I have read many of your chess records."
Kuwahara Asama opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"I just didn't expect my opponent to be Ta Yaliang in the end." Gao Yongxia chuckled, "Of course, he is also a good opponent. I thought it was a pity at first, but now it seems that my luck is still good."
When Kuwahara Asama heard this, she smiled brighter, "Really? I think the goddess of victory has always been with me."
Gao Yongxia narrowed his eyes slightly, "So confident?"
"Yeah! Because the goddess is beside me, how embarrassing it is to lose!?"
The two looked at each other, one with a sharp and flamboyant smile, and the other with an arrogant smile.
Ding--!
The game started.
