Chapter 479 Jun Matsumoto!

 Chuzhou panicked!

 “Is Lin Zhibai a master of Go?”

“Isn’t this winning speed too fast?”

 “Take it away directly 2 to 0, the other person’s game is not over yet.”

“It may not be that Lin Zhibai is so good, but Suzuki Kojiro is a lowly horse.”

"That's right, even if Lin Zhibai is a middle-class horse, it doesn't mean anything if he beats a low-class horse!"

 …

 Qizhou smiled!

 “Hahahahaha, the richest man is awesome!”

 “A good start!”

“The foreign aid of the richest man is so reliable!”

 “He really makes me cry to death!”

“Perhaps the richest man’s Go level is also top-notch?”

 …

 Zhaozhou is speechless!

 “Is this cheating?”

“Isn’t that Suzuki Kojiro cheating on the match?”

 “Lin Zhibai is a bit evil!”

"Let's wait until he meets a master. The current level doesn't mean anything!"

 “It’s better for him to meet Liu Ji!”

 …

 Zhongzhou is excited!

 “Why do I like Lin Zhibai more and more?”

 “That’s awesome!”

“I watched his game, and it’s hard to judge his level. After all, Suzuki Kojiro was beaten out of shape today.”

“What is certain is that Lin Zhibai is at least a mid-level horse!”

“Based on the feeling given to me in those two games, Lin Zhibai may also be a top-notch horse!”

 …

 Qinzhou is happy!

 “Bai Di, are you on the wrong set?”

“You can show off your guqin, but you can also show off your Go!”

 “Is it possible that you also want to kill indiscriminately in Go?”

 “That’s not the case.”

“After all, Liu Ji’s strength lies there.”

 …

Although Lin Zhibai won easily, it was just a minor episode for the other players. At most, they were just a little surprised.

 Others’ game continues.

Lin Zhibai has entered the waiting period.

 Waiting for your opponent in the second round.

 About an hour later, bad news started to arrive one after another.

 In addition to Lin Zhibai's easy victory, three players on Qizhou's side have already knelt down!

 The remaining Li Bai is still in the whirlpool, and has already reached the third game with Xiaolin Dazhu.

In the first two games, Kobayashi Dazhu won the first game, Li Bai won the second game, and the third game was the key game that decided the winner of the two.

Lin Zhibai couldn't help, he could only look at the situation.

“The third game between Li Bai and Xiaolin Dazhu has entered the final stage, but it’s really hard to say who will win and who will lose. I can feel that the nerves of these two excellent players are tense at this moment..."

　　The host explains.

Lin Zhibai narrowed his eyes.

The situation seems to be stalemate, but Li Bai actually has a greater chance of winning, but he doesn’t know if the other party has discovered Xiaolin Dazhu’s extremely secret flaw.

 Suddenly!

Li Bailuozi!

That position of the move made Lin Zhibai suddenly laugh. Li Bai was good at it, but Xiaolin Dazhu lost!

Xiaolin Dazhu also realized something was wrong.

 But he had no chance to make amends at this time.

 In the end, Xiaolin Dazhu sighed and chose to abandon his son and surrender. Continuing the competition was just a waste of time.

 “Xiao Lin Dazhu admits defeat!”

The host loudly said: "Li Bai won this duel with difficulty with a score of two to one. It is really a precious victory!"

 Li Bai waved his hands excitedly!

Xiaolin Dazhu, who was opposite him, seemed to recognize him again and couldn't help but ask:

“Why are you in such a good mood today?”

 The level of Xiaolin Dazhu and Li Bai is actually between the same.

However, Xiaolin Dazhu is in a more stable state, unlike Li Bai, who is strong but will lose his balance if he is severely suppressed.

Therefore, the two of them have played against each other twenty times in the past, and most of the results were Xiaolin Dazhu winning, while Li Bai only won three or five games.

 It can be today.

When Li Bai lost the first game, it stands to reason that he should be under full pressure, and his condition will definitely be very bad!

                       .

Li Bai's state was very stable in the second game, as if he was not affected by the loss in the first game at all, and he steadily pushed himself into the third game!

On the contrary, facing Li Bai, who was completely different from the past, his mentality was unbalanced at the end of the third game and his flaws were exposed!

 “Am I in a good mood today?”

Li Bai recalled how he played four games with Lin Zhibai last night and was tortured to the point of doubting his life in every game. He smiled and said:

“Because I played chess with you before, you put a lot of pressure on me.”

"what about now?"

Xiao Lin Dazhu was puzzled, you were afraid of me before, but you are not afraid now?

Li Bai said lightly: "It doesn't feel like it's okay now, because I have already seen real horror."

 Xiaolin Dazhu:? ? ?

 Li Bai did not explain what "real terror" is.

If I were to play against Lin Zhibai, the pressure I would feel would be 100!

So when playing against Xiaolin Dazhu, the pressure I feel is actually only 20!

  Put another way.

 Li Bai was tortured terribly by Lin Zhibai last night, so when he played against Xiao Lin Dazhu today, he suddenly felt:

 It seems that Xiaolin Dazhu is not very powerful either.

Xiao Lin Dazhu was a little unhappy. He vaguely felt that Li Bai seemed to despise him, and said in a low voice:

"I'll count you lucky if you win, but I'm just an appetizer. Liu Ji behind you is not an opponent you can win with luck."

 “Liu Ji?”

Li Bai sneered: "Liu Ji will be defeated today!"

Xiao Lin Dazhu was stunned for a moment: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

You just beat me once, so it won't be so big that even Liu Ji doesn't take it seriously, right?

 “Liu Ji will be defeated today! I said so!”

Li Bai repeated it, then stood up and left, feeling refreshed!

Today was the toughest day he faced Xiaolin Dazhu, in every sense of the word!

 As for the total score between Qizhou and Chuzhou being 2 to 3, Li Bai didn't care. These were all temporary.

 So what if it’s 1 to 4?

 We have a Tongtiandai here!

 …

Lin Zhibai didn't expect that he would actually give Li Bai the courage and confidence to fight Xiao Lin Dazhu with a calm mind and win.

 This result is acceptable to the Qizhou audience.

  After all, everyone knows that it is very valuable for Li Bai to win against Xiao Lin Dazhu!

Although Lin Zhibai brutally brutalized his opponent, Suzuki Kojiro was an inferior horse in Chuzhou, so the gold content was not as good as Li Bai's victory.

 The next step is to prepare for the second round.

Because only two people from Qizhou advance to the second round, and three people from Chuzhou advance to the second round, one person from Chuzhou can get a bye and directly enter the third round. This depends on the opponent's strategy. After discussion, Chuzhou Zhou finally decided to give a man named Rikawa Steel a bye.

"Depend on."

 Li Bai scolded: "That's cruel enough. Instead of giving the most terrifying Liu Ji a bye, he kept the weakest Rikawa Steel Plate in the third round. Chuzhou's ambition is so big!"

  “It doesn’t matter.”

Lin Zhibai said: "I will take action."

Li Bai smiled bitterly: "Of course it doesn't matter, President. I can't do it. If I meet Liu Ji, I probably won't be able to win a single round."

Lin Zhibai shrugged.

 Probably because I am afraid of what will happen.

 In the second round of the draw, Li Bai really met Liu Ji!

The player Lin Zhibai met was Matsumoto Jun, who was said to be the second best player in Chuzhou, second only to Kobayashi Otake.

"What a pity." Li Bai sighed and said, "The third round of president will have to fight alone."

Lin Zhibai still looked indifferent. He thought he would have to fight one against four in the second round.

 …

 Qizhou also sighed when he saw the results of the lottery.

 “It’s over.”

 “There is no hope, Li Bai met Liu Ji in advance!”

“We can only hope that the richest man can advance to the third round and compete for a silver or bronze medal.”

“The problem is that the richest man’s opponent is Jun Matsumoto, the second best chess player in Chuzhou after Otake Kobayashi!”

“If it’s Li Bai versus Matsumoto Jun, the probability of advancing to the third round is very high. We can at least win the silver medal. The richest man will have a hard time with Matsumoto Jun, right?”

 …

 Chuzhou.

“Xiao Lin Dazhu actually lost. It’s so sad. Fortunately, we have a terrifying foreign aid like Liu Ji!”

“Although Dazhu lost, we Chuzhou will win. The result is probably that Liu Ji will win the gold medal, Matsumoto Jun will win the silver medal, and Hikawa Goban will win the bronze medal!”

 “But Jun Matsumoto’s opponent is Lin Zhibai!”

“Lin Zhibai is very evil. He tortured Suzuki Kojiro as fast as possible before!”

“Don’t worry, Matsumoto Jun is not comparable to Suzuki Kojiro, his level is almost the same as Otake!”

 …

 Chinzhou.

 “Li Bai is so unlucky!”

“There is no way, one of him or Bai Di will encounter Liu Ji!”

“Li Bai can suppress Jun Matsumoto’s strength, but I don’t know if Chu Ci can suppress his opponent.”

"If Lin Zhibai can win, Qizhou can still keep a silver medal. After all, Richuan's level is quite average."

 “Now we can test Bai Di’s true level.”

 …

 Zhaozhou.

"pity!"

 “Liu Ji didn’t meet Lin Zhibai!”

 “I want to see Liu Ji and Lin Zhibai play chess!”

“Haha, I think you want to see Liu Ji violently torture Lin Zhibai, right?”

“There should be no hope, unless Lin Zhibai can beat Jun Matsumoto and enter the third round.”

 …

 Middle-earth.

“If Lin Zhibai can beat Matsumoto Jun, it means that his Go level will not be much worse than Li Bai!”

 “It’s difficult!”

 “Jun Matsumoto’s world ranking is not low!”

 “Stop discussing it!”

 “The game begins!”

 …

 The game has indeed begun.

Lin Zhibai has already sat down.

Matsumoto Jun looked up at Lin Zhibai and began to guess.

Lin Zhibai got the upper hand.

 Play black first.

 Matsumoto Jun follows the move.

 The layout of the two of them followed a steady path, without much murderous intent, and they did not even show a strong desire to attack.

 Want to fight in the midfield?

 Playing psychological games?

Seeing more and more chess pieces on the chessboard, Jun Matsumoto guessed what Lin Zhibai was thinking.

 The audience also felt that both sides were too stable.

 It's like a LoL game. After playing for a long time without a blood burst, it's very boring.

However.

Just when everyone thought that both sides were solid players, Lin Zhibai suddenly dropped a black stone!

　　唰!

 Murderous intent is everywhere!

 The situation changes instantly!

Jun Matsumoto was stunned. Lin Zhibai's layout was not stable at all. His murderous intention had already been generated in the early stage, but a few chess pieces were hidden so well that he was negligent until the opponent made the first move. Thirty-eight sunspots!

That landing point!

Matsumoto Jun realized that the opponent's sword was already at his throat!

 “It’s amazing!”

 “Fuck!”

 “This move is so exquisite!”

“This is Lin Zhibai’s Go level!?”

 “No wonder Suzuki Kojiro was brutalized by him!”

“This murderous intention is hidden, even Jun Matsumoto was designed!”

 “The richest man, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!”

 “Brothers, there is hope for Qizhou’s silver medal!”

“I was just about to say that the rich man’s chess piece in the lower right corner was about to be surrounded, but this move was a divine move, revitalizing the situation in an instant and forming a strangulation formation!”

 That’s it!

 It made the audience exclaim!

Of course, people who don’t understand Go can only know the situation in front of them through barrages and the like.

 Or look at the player's condition.

Lin Zhibai was very calm and took a sip of tea from time to time.

Matsumoto Jun loosened his tie and kept putting his fingers in his mouth to bite.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Matsumoto Jun was in a dilemma, and he began to think of ways to break Lin Zhibai's offensive.

 As a result, two more moves were made, and the situation became even worse!

Matsumoto Jun felt that he was stuck in a quagmire, so he had to give up some of his pieces and work on the upper left corner.

But Lin Zhibai ignored Matsumoto Jun and continued at his own pace, continuing to strangle!

 Everyone who knows Go is covered in cold sweat!

At the beginning, Lin Zhibai looks like Maitreya Buddha, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

But at this moment, Lin Zhibai was like a Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, full of offensive power!

 The method is cruel!

 Extremely bloodthirsty!

Jun Matsumoto completely fell into Lin Zhibai's rhythm, constantly saving the situation and saving the situation. As a result, there was a fire on all sides and he was unable to do anything!

 …

Otake Kobayashi, who has lost the game and been eliminated, is watching the showdown between Jun Matsumoto and Lin Zhibai on TV.

 There is no need to look at Liu Ji's side.

 Because Li Bai is no match for Liu Ji.

On the contrary, no one has any idea of ​​Lin Zhibai's Go level.

 Considering that Lin Zhibai tortured Suzuki Kojiro in the first round, Kobayashi Otake looked at it curiously.

 Look at the results.

Xiao Lin Dazhu’s face is getting paler and paler!

"Oops!"

When Lin Zhibai made a move in the center, a counterattack storm that Jun Matsumoto had finally brewed was instantly resolved by Lin Zhibai!

At this moment, Kobayashi Otake knew that Jun Matsumoto was going to lose the first round!

 Sure enough.

After thinking about it for another ten minutes or so, Matsumoto Jun gave up and admitted defeat. He really had no other options and could only find a way to come back in the second game!

However, Xiaolin Dazhu stood up impatiently...

“Something is wrong, something is very wrong. This Lin Zhibai’s Go level is far higher than Matsumoto Jun!”

 Jun Matsumoto may not even realize it!

 Even his underwear was seen through by Lin Zhibai!

Every chess move was actually what Lin Zhibai wanted him to make, not what he wanted to make himself!

etc…

 No wonder Li Bai is so strange today!

 The co-author knows that he has a thigh here!

Although I don’t know how Lin Zhibai’s level compares with Liu Ji, watching this game has made Xiao Lin Dazhu vaguely aware:

 I am not as good as Lin Zhibai!

 Fortunately, Liu Ji's side also went well, and he also defeated Li Bai once.

 The two sides started the second game almost in unison.

This time Lin Zhibai took the next step.

Matsumoto Jun’s mentality has been adjusted. He is very good at taking the initiative and the layout will be easier. This time he must be very vigilant!

 But neither Matsumoto Jun nor Lin Zhibai knew.

 Their second game has attracted more viewers than Liu Ji and Li Bai...
