The work of the Go master

The title "Moon Sky" is held by Kitaro Hikaze, who is 33 years old this year. He usually wears Tang-style clothing, and who knows if he is a fan of certain B-movie kung fu movies.

The title of "Dragon Throne" is held by Tatsumi Koshikawa, who is 29 years old this year.

Judging from the photos alone, the first impression is one of madness, with rich and distorted expressions, wild hair, and bizarre chess-playing postures. Even Saito said that the current Dragon Throne is a very dangerous character.

I don't know what kind of danger Saito was referring to. It probably wasn't the kind where he would angrily pull out a knife from his pocket and stab his opponent after losing a game, right?

That's great. If that's the case, then the increased strength will finally have some effect, even if only slightly.

As for the final "Imperial Castle Chess" title, Yagami Kunikyo, who is 59 years old this year, is still able to occupy the most powerful position of Imperial Castle Chess despite the strong challenge from the younger generation.

However, he looked too young in the photo.

He looks like a twenty-year-old.

In Ke Zhiguang's opinion, the person who can maintain such a youthful appearance at such an advanced age is Hirohiko Araki, the author of "JOJO". His secret to maintaining his youthful appearance is to wash his face with Tokyo tap water every morning.

As for this Yagami Kunikyo, he probably isn't that frugal and down-to-earth. He doesn't appear in public often, but every time he does, he's always dressed in expensive colors.

“A monster…” Ke Zhiguang murmured.

He looks like a vampire, using the blood of others to fuel his own youth.

Who knows, playing chess might actually lead to immortality.

After finishing his contemplation, Ke Zhiguang decided to calm down and practice his chess skills.

But after lifting the curtain on the chessboard, they were surprised to find something on it.

It's back too?

Chapter Fifty: New Treasure Map

They're back, they're all back.

The quest panel is back with an "Optional Quests" skin, and the treasure map is back with a "new" prefix, as if a Z has been added to the Gundam logo. Although the meaning is unclear, it's still pretty impressive.

Moreover, the word "new" is separated by a dot, which, as always, gives off a cheeky and irresistible vibe.

[It was dropped by the Inari God Fox!]

It actually fell out of Saito.

Koji Mitsuaki had to rethink the meaning of the period in Saito's life.

"A five-game match..." He thought of this.

Today marks the end of his fifth game against Saito. Although the format was very simple, it could still be considered a best-of-five match.

To obtain the item, you have to defeat this type of piece in a best-of-three match, right?

Ignoring these minor details, Ke Zhiguang flipped the new treasure map card over, looked at the address, and realized it was quite far from here, actually in the port area.

Judging from the precise coordinates, it's the row number from left to right, and the specific book number; it's likely time to deliver another book.

Ke Zhiguang had at least finished reading the books that it had given him before, and even transcribed the game records of "Ten Games of Danghu".

The Super Saiyan battles are amazing. If I could travel back in time to watch these games, I'd have to hug a tree to watch them, lest I get blown away by the gusts of wind generated when these two clash.

As Ke Zhiguang examined the address, another question arose in his mind.

Why did this new treasure map appear so quickly?

Shouldn't you wait until you've had a good night's sleep before refreshing the page?

Although Ke Zhiguang always felt that the setting of having to wait overnight to refresh items was very illogical, believing that the items should refresh immediately after being used, preferably directly into his pocket, he tolerated it because there was no mailbox to send him complaint letters.

But it seems to have figured it out now; it finished off Saito an hour ago, and refreshed immediately an hour later.

Nobody knows what the god of quantum mechanics is thinking.

It was almost as if they were desperate to hand over the treasure map to Ke Zhiguang.

Thinking of this analogy, Ke Zhiguang shuddered.

I couldn't help but recall that sentence that had suddenly come to mind not long ago.

"Your second enemy is coming."

Ke Zhiguang had a feeling that as his chess skills grew stronger, his perception of the thing that had always been lingering around him became clearer.

Perhaps the reason why the items refreshed so quickly this time is also related to this clear perception.

Consider this a small reward after defeating Saito in a five-game match; let's tentatively name it "Item Refresh Speed ​​Increase."

Imagine adding another bracket – [Item refresh speed increased].

That's the right way; it looks more formal.

Although going out at night is not a good idea, Ke Zhiguang still decided to go out now and download this address. The fact that it refreshed so hastily must be for the same purpose.

As he was leaving, Ke Zhiguang subconsciously turned his head back, his gaze lingering on the clippings of the Imperial Chess magazine pasted on the table.

I feel like he's very close to me, and I'll be able to meet him face-to-face soon.

Animosity arises spontaneously when they look at each other across a distance...

Forget it, I shouldn't have any more children, lest I set some strange goals for myself.

......

......

At 8:30 p.m., Ke Zhiguang arrived at the designated location.

Walking down an inconspicuous, quiet alley, a video rental shop called Yoshikawa Audio-Visual appears on an open space at the end of the alley; this is the coordinate indicated by the treasure map.

It seems the treasure map has finally caught on; it's recommending movies instead of dry books.

The music and video store in front of me is a small wooden shop, much like a cheap snack shop, and it looks quite old.

As we all know, Tokyo has experienced a major fire, and this area was the epicenter of the fire. For a flammable wooden cabin to survive in this area is truly remarkable.

Such a small house was not demolished during the urban redevelopment process. Instead, it survived as a small record store, occupying a square meter of land in the port area where every inch of land is precious, which really raises suspicions.

But Ke Zhiguang was someone who had dealt with black market practices before, and was used to dealing with such mystical things, so he went in without hesitation.

I confirmed that I was safe and did not feel any discomfort.

Although the shop was small, it was surprisingly clean and tidy, without the mold and dampness often found in old-fashioned wooden cabins. The videotapes for rent were neatly arranged on the cabinets.

The only suspicious point is that the owner isn't behind the counter; he might be slacking off. As for whether he'll be under heavy red or purple alert when he finally appears, that remains to be seen.

Looking around, I didn't see anything related to Go, so there shouldn't be a fight later.

Just as Ke Zhiguang was heading to retrieve the location where his treasure was buried according to the coordinates, someone suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Excuse me, is the boss here?" a young man's voice came from inside.

The shop door was pushed open, and a young man with a red warning halo walked in, which made Ke Zhiguang pause for a moment.

This was a rather unlikable boy, arrogant and superior in demeanor. He glanced at Ke Zhiguang, then shook his head and looked away disdainfully.

This is a typical example of a wealthy young man from the port area. Because he was born in such an affluent area, he is naturally arrogant, superior, and xenophobic.

But the fact that this boy was showing it off so openly... made it feel even worse.

Fortunately, he was glowing red, which meant that this person was capable of making a decisive move on the chessboard.

As for the difficulty of the red light, Ke Zhiguang doesn't quite understand its depth. His recent opponents are either purple-type players like Saito or at most orange-type players like Momo. Red-type players are a blank area for him.

Hmm... the more I sense it, the more I want to punch this person, to see just how difficult it is to punch the red player.

Alright, enough chit-chat. Ke Zhiguang found he had a challenge ticket on hand, so he'd use it now! He'd teach the rich kid in the port area a lesson!

Just as they were about to roll it up, the boy suddenly placed a small black pill wrapped in plastic on the counter and shouted "Boss!" into the store.

Something appeared on the black ball—[???]

In addition, it was spewing out black mist.

The demon register that Ke Zhiguang saw at Bai Meng's house had the same ominous aura.

this.....

Ke Zhiguang was stunned for a moment, and then stopped rolling his hair.

What is this thing?

Does this mean I'm going to have to play chess with some strange thing again?

"Good evening, Yabu-kun, and... welcome to another guest." The owner stepped out from behind a curtain, his voice loud and enthusiastic.

A young man wearing a yukata, with his hair neatly styled, walked out from behind the curtain with his hands behind his back. He had a tall and handsome figure and looked like a fine suit hanger.

He appeared to be a successful person who had returned from overseas, radiating pride and optimism.

He's the boss now.

"What's wrong, Yabu-kun? You look furious. Logically speaking, shouldn't you be attending the teacher appreciation banquet right now? If you leave early like this, Suga 9-dan will be angry."

“Let that old man, Seiichi Suga, be angry... You quickly help me examine this to see if there’s anything wrong with it.” Eijin Yabu pushed the black pills on the counter toward the other person.

Chapter 51: The Ten-Game Match

"Is it really okay for you to ask that?" The boss smiled nonchalantly, but his eyes glanced at Ke Zhiguang, who was pretending to select videotapes, indicating that there were other people present.

"Just some irrelevant bystander, ignore him." Yabu Ruijin didn't care about his volume.

Ke Zhiguang listened intently from the side, his ears perked up.

He had heard of the name Suga Seiichi before; he was the unfortunate senior brother who was expelled from the school by Saito in the Seven-Game Match.

The boss just mentioned a thank-you banquet for teachers, which means that this boy named Yabu is also a candidate who will participate in the ranking competition next.

The grudges of the previous generation, a red alert level. A question mark-like spiritual object tainted with a black aura...

With all these factors combined, Ke Zhiguang seemed to have sensed the approaching boss battle again.
