The work of the Go master

"That's good." Yabu then controlled An Yongxin's body and walked out.

As An Yongxin passed by the desk lamp, she saw his shadow in the light, and it was actually... a dragon?

It's still a three-headed dragon.

Chapter 88 Only a fool would think the treasure map was in a place like this!

The sky was bluish-gray, and rainwater washed down from above. The once bustling coastline was now as silent as another world, with only a few birds, unafraid of the rain, standing blankly on wooden blocks, gazing into the distance.

Thanks to the strawberry-flavored milk, Ke Zhiguang woke up early and was fully energized.

For the first few days, I would habitually linger in bed after waking up, rubbing against the mattress a couple of times, but today I had no such urge and woke up naturally and perfectly.

It seems that, in addition to the accelerated fatigue recovery, the perfect state effect of Dragon Blood has also taken effect.

He will maintain his ideal state all day, just like Yabu after taking Amakusa Pill.

However, Amakusa Pills have side effects, while Dragon's Blood is like strawberry milk that's safe and reliable.

Ke Zhiguang leaned against the headboard, his gaze unconsciously shifting to the side where Harushima Kashiwa was fast asleep, looking as silly as a fool.

Her sleeping posture was quite unseemly, with her entire head buried in the pillow, in a pose resembling a flower of hope. Doesn't she ever experience oxygen deprivation like that?

Only after regaining consciousness did Ke Zhiguang realize... that he had spent the night in bed with the beautiful girl No. 1, but nothing happened?

Hmm... that sounds like a strange pity.

Of course, Ke Zhiguang didn't intend to do anything. After all, Qingdaolu is only 15 years old. Although she is a year away from the local legal marriage age, she always looks like she is 12 years old.

If things go wrong, I could end up in jail again.

The room was quiet. A bluish-gray light peeked in through the curtains and fell right on Harujima Deer's head, making his jet-black hair look like black jade.

It should feel really nice to touch, right?

[Illustrated Guide Recycling: The Sleeping Face of the Dragon]

Suddenly, the screenshot function snapped a picture, capturing the moment.

this......

That's not a sleeping face at all! It's just the back of his head!

Well, it's not so bad. After all, those two little ponytails look quite cute, so I couldn't resist going up and opening them.

Just as Ke Zhiguang had this wicked thought, Qingdaolu suddenly spoke, startling Ke Zhiguang into retreating.

"Ugh...no...!"

She seems to be talking in her sleep.

But why does the sound always sound a little strange?

Considering her "I'm tired of leeching off" persona, "not wanting this" actually means "yes," right?

"In this way... I can't breathe..."

This.

So you know it's hard to breathe like this? Then hurry up and flip over!

"It's...it'll be very itchy there..."

Well.

Maybe she's just getting her face licked by her pet dog.

"I...won't be able to eat..."

Well.

She seems to just not gain weight easily, not that she can't eat until she's full. Eating too much does seem to cause discomfort.

"Then... let's break up with him..."

Wait! What dangerous dream are you having!

This dream sounds like a group of yandere characters dismembering the male protagonist.

After thinking about it, Ke Zhiguang decided to help her flip over, just like helping a turtle that had fallen to the ground.

But just as he was about to step forward, Ke Zhiguang froze.

He actually found something strange on the ponytail ornament of the deer on the island.

It was clearly a small card, which was stuck in the hair by the hair accessory.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is—

【New Treasure Map (3/3)】

Hurry and collect the last treasure map!

Ke Zhiguang gasped, feeling as if he had been tricked.

Instead of updating properly on the chessboard, it updated in this strange place.

Fortunately, Shireshima Kashiwa is not a battleship-class character; otherwise, this card would probably be found only in some strange, hidden corner.

On the other hand, things turned out exactly as Ke Zhiguang had thought; the last treasure map was on her.

Just like the last treasure map in the first stage was on Akio Shoichi, who was the closest person to him, Harujima Kashiwa could also be said to be a very close person to him.

Got it. If there's a third stage treasure map quest, I'll just attack whoever's closest to me.

To be fair, Shireshima Kashima can be considered a transport captain. He traveled a long way to deliver a head, and even delivered dragon blood. Now he's even delivering a treasure map. It's truly moving to tears.

Ke Zhiguang carefully reached out to Qingdaolu's hair ornament, feeling the softness and delicacy of her hair.

With a single burst of strength, the treasure map is retrieved, a thrill no less intense than secretly ringing someone's doorbell.

Browsing the address above—it's that music store again.

Indeed, everything arose because of it, and ultimately everything will fall because of it.

But the ridiculous thing is that this most accurate coordinate actually points to the depths of the music store, specifically to the wall full of drawers.

Does this mean he himself needs a prop full of evil?

Looking at the continuous rain outside the window, Ke Zhiguang also felt a sense of worry.

As a game of Go, the process is simply that the opponent agrees to play, and you eventually defeat the opponent.

This is a competition, and the opponent will have to go to the battlefield no matter what, so there's no need to use a life-or-death contest to force both sides into it. We just need to focus on winning.

From this perspective, the perfect state of that bottle of dragon blood is already the most ideal treasure. If there were any additional bonuses, it would basically be considered cheating.

What exactly is it that we need to obtain immediately before we can fight this final battle?

The relaxed atmosphere from a moment ago immediately quickened. Ke Zhiguang didn't think too much about it. After changing his clothes, he pushed open the door and left. Before leaving, he turned off the alarm clock for Qingdaolu so as not to wake her up.

They even flipped the deer over, successfully getting her to sleep face up.

"Good luck to you..." she murmured in her sleep.

Ke Zhiguang hurried through the hotel lobby. At seven in the morning, the air in the seaside hotel was incredibly fresh, filled with the refreshing scent of coconut trees. Along the corridor that ran through the atrium, glamorous men and women sat facing each other, watching the gardens radiate a unique vitality in the rain.

The TV was playing yesterday's match, repeatedly mocking Harushima Kashima; the official channels are utterly unethical.

"Mr. Ke, you have a match today..." a staff member asked as they approached.

"I'll be back soon."

But as soon as he took one foot out, he stepped back and reminded the staff, "Don't clean my room today, please don't clean it."

If someone were to discover that Harushima Deer was lying in his bed, well... the police might have to start sirens. Compared to that, being questioned by the media is a minor matter.

"Okay, I definitely won't clean it..." the staff member readily agreed.

"Is it time to go on a mission again?" Kiyotaki Ayumu followed him without anyone noticing. Today was the final day of the New Star Battle, and he arrived at the scene early in the morning.

"Yes, could you give me a ride?"

The inexpensive Toyota immediately sped down the street, and Ke Zhiguang hung the "Smooth Sailing" sign he had obtained from defeating the demon dragon on the front of the car, making the morning rush hour much easier.

"Waking up very early on the day of the finals, and then going to another place, if I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the previous 'Murphy's Law', right?" Kiyotaki asked.

"Yes, that's the matter." Ke Zhiguang nodded in acknowledgment.

"As expected of you, you always manage to come up with something new before crucial official competitions." Qinglong naturally recalled the last time he sent Keiji to the team battle captain's match. Who would have thought that someone who dominated the high school team battle would have stayed up all night beating up the boss of Kurofumi?

“Speaking of which, it was raining heavily the day Kitagawa Yu had his accident…” Kiyotaki Ayumi said suddenly, looking at the heavy rain outside the car window.

"Huh?" Ke Zhiguang was taken aback.

Normally, he wouldn't have paid attention to those words, but he was in a perfect state right now. Even when he wasn't playing chess, his mind was exceptionally active and clear, comparable to a detective.

It will be raining heavily all day tomorrow!

Ke Zhiguang recalled this warning.

He found the last [Event Trigger Scroll] in his pocket.

Does that mean it only works if you rub and curl that street lamp in the rain?

Chapter 89 So this thing can actually be destroyed?

The rain intensified as the car drove on, casting a thick layer of dust between the buildings. Red lights, as if clocking in for work, came one after another, blocking the car's path time and time again.

If a supporting character were to charge into battle in this weather, and there wasn't any exciting background music playing, then they'd probably die in front of the boss, creating a tragic atmosphere to set the stage for the protagonist's entrance and outburst.

A very unlucky rainy day.

"What kind of weather is this? The rain just started pouring down like that, and there are so many red lights!" Kiyotaki Ayumu said with a foul mouth, having already run into several red lights in a row.

Not long after setting off, the protective effect of "Have a safe journey" seemed to have diminished, and they encountered the morning rush hour traffic.

It might be due to the weakening effect of rainy days.

It's also possible that someone is performing some kind of ritual from a distance, slowing down our progress.

"Don't worry, there's definitely enough time. As long as no terrorists take us hostage, even if the traffic jam is terrible, you'll definitely make it to your match this afternoon."

"I know, I'm not worried about that," Ke Zhiguang said calmly, casually flipping through the magazines he had brought in the car, looking very relaxed.
