Chapter 747 The Princess’s Breathtaking Victory
While Xia Yu was looking around, music began to play in the venue. From the backstage, contestants walked out one by one. The sparse audience had a serious expression and began to recognize if they knew anyone among the contestants.
“Hey, that staff is so beautiful!” Among the group of people in shirts and black pants, Xia Wanyuan instantly became the focus of the crowd.
“Staff? Doesn’t look like it. Doesn’t she have the number 31 tag on her? Is she a contestant? She’s so young?!”
At that moment, most of the audience present noticed this strange contestant and began to whisper.
“After an intense and cruel elimination, the people standing in front of us today are the most outstanding Go players selected from all over the world. Now, please sit according to the position of the first round of the elimination round.” The host gestured for the crowd to quieten down and announced the start of the competition.
There were nearly twenty large broadcast screens in the venue, and the performance of the contestants in the field would be displayed to the audience through these large screens.
Xia Yu was still looking for Jun Shiling when a bag of melon seeds was handed to him. “China brother? Get a bag of melon seeds. Let me tell you, this competition is bloody long. I brought a total of twenty bags of melon
seeds.”
Xia Yu turned around and saw a young man in a cap sitting beside him. He had the temperament of a punk and didn’t look like someone who would like a game of Go.
As if understanding Xia Yu’s confusion, the young man crossed his legs. “Damn, my brother came here to be cannon fodder. My mother is airsick and insisted that I cheer for my brother on her behalf. What about you? You don’t look like you like to watch Go.”
“Oh.” Xia Yu took the melon seeds. “I’m here to see my sister.”
“Female player? Impressive.” Although the young man was not interested in Go, he had been suppressed for a long time and had a rough understanding of the situation. However, this did not stop him from pitying Xia Yu. “Brother, you were forced, right? We’re in the same boat.”
“Of course not. I came to see my sister win the championship,” Xia Yu immediately denied.
“Haha.” The young man snatched the bag of melon seeds back from Xia Yu. ‘This person is quite good-looking. Why is he a fool?’
At that moment, the competition had already begun. Xia Yu did not argue with the person beside him anymore. He took out the binoculars that he had prepared and watched Xia Wanyuan compete calmly.
The punk youngster looked at Xia Yu’s binoculars. The other party was a good younger brother, while he was a little incapable of being a younger brother. He finally felt a little guilty for scamming his brother all year round. He put down his melon seed bag and watched his brother’s competition seriously for the first time.
The audience, who had been watching the competition for a long time, could be seen that they were experienced. All of them were armed with water, food, and even a military bed.
In any case, the Go competition would go on for a long time. The round robin of these 50 contestants was very long. The audience who were good at chess were already prepared to attack for a long time.
There was still a difference between civilian and official contestants in the semi-finals. When it came to the finals, there was no such difference.
The contestant Xia Wanyuan had faced in the first round was a member recommended by the Go Association of Han Country.
Probably no matter where, the officials looked down on the unofficial.
Li Hai, this contestant from Han Country, had been famous in Han Country for a long time. Seeing that his opponent was actually a woman, and such a beautiful woman, Li Hai immediately smiled.
“Does China choose people based on their appearances?”
Xia Wanyuan ignored him and looked at the referee beside her. “I’m ready.”
The referee looked at Li Hai, who nodded.
The cameramen all had natural beauty-seeking characteristics. The cameras that were originally swaying around gradually leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.
Sensing the camera beside him, Li Hai suddenly stopped the referee. “There’s no need to draw lots. Ladies first, let Miss Xia take the first step.”
“This? Miss Xia?” The referee looked at Xia Wanyuan.
“No problem.” Xia Wanyuan smiled. “It’s impolite to decline.”
“…” The smile on Li Hai’s lips froze for a moment. On second thought, there was nothing wrong with letting her take the first step. In any case, Xia Wanyuan did not look like someone who could win.
“In that case, Miss Xia will go first.” With the referee’s command, Xia Wanyuan was the first to play.
In the audience, everyone had also seen Li Hai’s actions on the big screen. They praised his gentlemanly behavior.
“This way, even if he wins against Xia Wanyuan, others won’t criticize him too much.”
“It’s nothing even if he lets her make a move first. That young lady will probably be eliminated in a few rounds. With him letting her make a move first, his reputation will be better. This plan is pretty good.”
“Before you discuss, can’t you take a look at Xia Wanyuan’s ID code name first?” Finally, someone could not stand it anymore and said.
Only then did everyone look at the names and IDs on the stage seriously.
Xia Wanyuan corresponded to “Xia”.
The dark horse who had created more than 200 consecutive wins and crushed the semi-finals champion?!
F*ck?!
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly turned to look at the match between Xia Wanyuan and Li Hai.
The battle between the civilian Newcomer King and the veteran expert was the most interesting
However, when they really saw the broadcast camera, they fell silent.
In just a few minutes while people chatted,
The scoreboard in front of Xia Wanyuan and Li Hai had already changed to 1: 0.
Xia Wanyuan was still calm, while Li Hai’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
Everyone erupted.
