The work of the Go master

"I guess I was mentally prepared." Hearing the name Yabu, Koji Mitsuki actually felt relieved.

We are not afraid of the visible torrent of steel, but we are afraid of bombs hiding in the gutter like time bombs.

Although Yabu never appeared on the field, Koji Hikaru remained wary of him.

As for how An Yongxin should be compared to Yawu, he hadn't figured it out, nor did he need to. He just had to smash him horizontally.

The boss was about to step forward, but Ke Zhiguang quickly raised the baseball bat in his hand.

With so much added strength, it finally has a purpose other than holding Kaoru hostage.

"Don't be like that. I'm not here to fight you. We're all chess players. We can settle things on the chessboard." The shopkeeper smiled and shrugged.

"Please move aside, I need to get to my competition soon," Ke Zhiguang said.

He used his foot to poke at the drawer containing the dragon-shaped wooden carving, checking to see if there was anything else inside.

This is, after all, the place indicated by the treasure map. Perhaps this is just a small test from the treasure map. Only by bypassing the dragon head in the front row, which looks like the final treasure, will one be qualified to obtain the real treasure.

"Are you looking for something? If so, I happen to have it here." The shopkeeper took out a small card from the pocket of his yukata and showed it to Ke Zhiguang.

this......

Ke Zhiguang was stunned for a moment.

Although the light was dim and the distance was far enough to not see the words on it, the model number of this card... looked really familiar.

So this thing can actually be obtained by other people?

“It looks like something very important. Let me be a bit bolder and say that the reason you’re in such a hurry to get it on the morning of the match is because it can defeat Yabu, right?” the shopkeeper said.

Ke Zhiguang was at a loss for words, racking his brains for a way to rush up and knock the boss down, and take him away.

In short, to hell with solving it on the chessboard, rush in and take them down with one blow – that's the most invincible off-board tactic.

"Then as payment for destroying my beloved collection, I'll burn it too," the shopkeeper said, clutching the treasure card tightly in his hand.

Then, with a snap, it turned to ashes.

This... I didn't know this thing could be destroyed?

Chapter 90 Koshikawa Ryuji

In Ke Zhiguang's understanding, these treasure maps are designed so that the treasure will only appear when his own eyes are in contact with it. If someone else arrives at the treasure location before him to search for it, they will not find anything.

So other people can do it too?

"Haha, just kidding, of course it's still perfectly fine. It's just a little magic trick, why take it seriously? I'm just an ordinary human, how could I possibly spew flames?" The shopkeeper laughed for a while before reaching into his sleeve with his other hand and taking out a brand new card.

The ashes he had just held in his hand were merely a wad of black paper scraps.

In the dim light, he actually managed to complete this little magic trick.

this.....

I have to say, I was really impressed by his skills.

Of course, it wasn't his tricks that impressed me, but rather his instantaneous immersion in the role, his frenzy, and his confidence.

Perhaps even the boss himself was impressed by his own performance.

Dangerous, insane, this guy is like a high-concentration explosive.

Unfortunately, the truth about the boss was revealed too late.

Because Ke Zhiguang had already opened another drawer and smashed another of the boss's collectibles with his bat.

"Wait! What are you doing! Your card is fine, why did you smash it?" The shopkeeper was stunned and showed the card again.

Ke Zhiguang said in a lecturing tone, "You, if you had just taken it out earlier, there wouldn't have been any problem. You just had to pretend here to feel comfortable, didn't you?"

"Alright, alright, I'll return it to you now. Calm down, calm down." The boss said calmly, then threw the card like a dart, which Ke Zhiguang caught steadily.

So it's pointless that this third collectible died.

[Required Quest Card: Obtain the Dragon Throne Title (0/1)]

Upon seeing the words on the card, Ke Zhiguang's gaze sharpened.

I thought it was some really useful skill scroll.

It turned out to be a task card, and the prefix was even required, which shows how urgent it was.

However, the mission's content is absurd. It hasn't even finished the Rising Star title battle yet, and it's already jumping to the Dragon Throne title, which is almost half a year away.

unless......

“Yuechuan Longji…” Ke Zhiguang subconsciously read out the name of the current holder of the Dragon Throne title, then fixed his gaze on the boss.

"Are you talking about me?" The boss paused for a moment, then shrugged and smiled.

"You can only be talking about yourself, Mr. Dragon Throne?" Ke Zhiguang said, his gaze becoming even more determined.

Given this situation, there's probably only one possibility for the task to appear, right?

On the wall in front of Ke Zhiguang's desk are photos of several current title holders, including naturally a photo of Koshikawa Tatsumi.

Although the appearance of Tatsumi Koshikawa in the photo is quite different from that of the boss in front of him, given the circumstances, Koshikawa could only assume so.

The Dragon Throne, one of the three major titles, a man almost equal to Yu Chengqi, appeared before them, or rather, lingered around them.

After learning the man's identity, an intimidating pressure surged into every pore.

Still, there was no warning coloration on him.

But conservatively speaking, it's probably black, just like Yagami Kunikyo.

"The answer is revealed. You got it right. I am Tatsumi Koshikawa." The boss's laughter gradually subsided, and he clapped his hands in admiration. "It seems that you have a very strong fortune protecting you and telling you all sorts of secrets."

"I think so. I feel like it often takes care of me, like sometimes covering me with a blanket in the middle of the night... So, can I go over there first? I can always return this card to you and burn it later." Ke Zhiguang flicked the card, looking very perfunctory.

Ke Zhiguang finally understood the principle behind the creation of this treasure map.

This treasure map is designed so that the other party needs to take a look at it.

In other words, it would be too boring if I found this treasure map so easily, took it and left. It has to be handed to me personally by Koshikawa Tatsumi to have a sense of ceremony, right?

Many clues from so far have been connected in Ke Zhiguang's mind, and they can be vaguely linked together to weave a huge conspiracy.

“You want to leave? That’s fine, but judging from your expression, you don’t seem too keen on your new card. It’s not meant to help you defeat Yabu, is it?” Koshikawa Tatsumi said.

"Yes, this thing is useless, it can be used as firewood... Which side are you on? You seem to be on Yabu's side, but you also seem to want me to win?" Koji asked.

"Oh, please don't misunderstand. I really hope that you two can have a wonderful game. The more exciting your game is, the stronger the luck that the rising star gathers will be. In this way, the winner's life will also be more exciting." Tatsumi Koshikawa stretched his broad shoulders.

"You expect me to defeat Yabu with this dragon-shaped relief?"

"What a pity. This was your only chance to defeat Yabu. This item was one of my prized possessions, and now it's been destroyed." Koshikawa Tatsumi said, shaking his head. It was unclear whether he was lamenting the item or the fact that his opponent would have difficulty defeating Yabu.

"After all this talk, can you finally let me through?" Ke Zhiguang couldn't help but yawn, looking rather impatient.

"Please go ahead." Tatsumi Koshikawa gestured for them to enter through the door.

Ke Zhiguang walked out with his baseball bat in hand, brushing past the other person.

"Maybe we'll meet again next May?" Tatsumi Koshikawa asked from close range.

Next May will be the time for the next Dragon Throne title battle.

"Then we'll have no choice but to meet, right?" Ke Zhiguang said in a low voice.

And so, Ke Zhiguang walked out of the video store unscathed, holding an umbrella as he stepped into the rain.

Although it might be tempting to look back, it's best not to, as looking back is a taboo in Japanese Shinto mythology.

But there was always a menacing gaze lingering behind him, like the angry eyes of a dragon.

Once inside the car and as it slowly started moving, Ke Zhiguang was finally relieved of the immense pressure.

.....

......

At 11 a.m., we finally returned to the hotel.

Although the rain continued, the strong sense of human warmth helped Ke Zhiguang recover.

The mystery of the treasure map has been solved. The last treasure map wasn't meant to give him any extra benefits; it was simply meant to trigger an event that led him to meet the Dragon Throne.

As for the nonsense that Dragon Throne said, Ke Zhiguang certainly wouldn't believe a single word; he'd just wait for the mission recap card.

Next, take a look at the rewards for the light bulb mission, and then you'll be ready to go into battle.

Back in the room, I used the room key to push open the door and found that Harushima Deer was still not awake.

But her sleeping posture had completely changed; she was hugging her pillow like a koala, with her entire leg sticking out from under her bathrobe and hooked behind the pillow.

That said, her koala sleeping posture easily evokes images of strange movements.

[Sex scandal successfully triggered!]

this.....

Can this really be considered a sex scandal?

Chapter Ninety-One: Pure Love That Risks Life and Death

Just as she was thinking that this didn't count as a scandal, Harushima Shika suddenly opened her eyes groggily, and glanced down to find that Keiji Hikaru was standing right in front of her.

"Ah! What are you doing here!" Having just woken up, Harushima Shika was naturally startled to find someone standing in front of her, thinking that her room had been invaded by an unknown force.

As a result of being startled and leaning back, her already loose belt came off.

Well... okay, it wasn't supposed to be a weird shot, but she somehow managed to turn it into one.

But then again, with this size, it's so well-equipped that even if it were posted on Weibo, it would definitely pass the review, right?

"Wait! What are you doing? Don't look here! Don't look here!" With steam rising from her head, Harushima Kashiwa quickly burrowed into the covers to re-fasten her belt.

Steam kept seeping out from the gaps in the bed, as if it were trying to blow the whole quilt away.

"Huh? What did you say? I was just turning on the TV... Why did you suddenly hide under the covers?" Ke Zhiguang turned on the TV casually, pretending to have missed what had just happened.

"N-nothing, I'm...I'm looking for something!"
