The work of the Go master

"Get lost! If you want to do something so unpleasant, go do it at home yourself!" the vice president said angrily, feeling a bit choked up.

Well, I was just joking around. Besides, at this hour, who would open a Go room?

Moreover, he had already forgotten the game he had just played, which was exactly what Saito had said beforehand: those who had played against Ishishin would forget the game to prevent the game record from being leaked.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is to rest and relax. If anyone actually agrees that we should all study seriously now, Ke Zhiguang will definitely be the first to rush up and shove that person into the toilet.

Although the original KTV plan was disrupted, the current outcome is not bad. Many members of the community have dispersed, leaving only the most core social circle, which is the ideal travel lineup.

"Harushima, is there anywhere you'd like to go tonight?" Ke Zhiguang asked, surprised that Harushima was still with their group.

"Personally, anywhere is fine with me. I'd still prefer going home. During Golden Week, there's plenty of time to travel if you want to."

"Oh, so you want to go out and play again tomorrow? That's fine too."

"Hey, what do you mean? I was just giving you suggestions on how to travel, not saying that I want to go out and have fun myself."

Are you going out to play tomorrow?

"Well... then I'll reluctantly come out." Harujima Shika choked up, as if her Achilles' heel had been struck, but she remained serious.

"No, no, no, there's no need to force yourself. If you want to rest, I won't bother you tomorrow."

"Take me with you when you come out to play!"

"Ok."

After a conversation, Harushima Shika finally blushed and gave in.

Ke Zhiguang breathed a long sigh of relief.

I don't know why, but it felt incredibly satisfying, even better than winning a game of chess.

There's a kind of compulsive, satisfying pleasure in it.

"By the way, do you still want this folding fan?" Ke Zhiguang handed over the folding fan.

Although I enjoy using it, it is, after all, a product of Harushima Deer. I can always just buy another one later.

Harushima Shika stared at the folding fan that Keiji Hikaru had offered, her hand hesitating in mid-air for a moment.

"I'll leave it with you for now," she said.

"Ok?"

"I'll return it to you next time we meet on the field," Harushima Kashima said, puffing out his chest with considerable confidence.

If he hadn't already ignited a fire once, Ke Zhiguang might have started shouting his chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) right now.

That's true. Although Harushima Kakashi is a female Go player, as the Queen of Women, she will definitely plunge into the battlefield of men to fight. There is a high probability that Koji Mitsuaki and her opponent will meet on the field in the future.

Bamboo sword forging, Imperial Chess, Stone Heart... and now with the addition of Sunny Island Deer, this seemingly ethereal path has suddenly become full.

It makes people look forward to it.

"Never mind, let's have fun today! We'll worry about the future later!"

Ke Zhiguang pointed into the air and pointed to a game arcade in the distance.

"The style has changed too fast! I thought you were going to say something grand when I saw you pointing so far away, but it's just an arcade?" Ping Shisheng choked up.

There was nothing he could do. Ke Zhiguang really wanted to point to the future and draw a perfect conclusion to the first stage of his life, but who could blame him when this arcade suddenly appeared in front of him?

Then he immediately shifted his finger a few centimeters, pointing it squarely here.

Men can never resist games, can they?

Whether it's Honor of Kings, Dou Dizhu, Clash Royale, the Famicom, or... Go.

I'll write a short reflection after finishing the book, and I'll update again tomorrow during the day.

First of all, I would like to thank all the fathers for their support, and also thank the editor for his care, which has made this book achieve results beyond my expectations.

The idea of ​​writing a Go novel came to me last December, during a lull after I finished my first Dota novel.

I suddenly remembered that I had studied Go for three years and had an amateur 3-dan player. My senior brother was Gu Zihao. It shouldn't be difficult to write a novel based on Go.

Coincidentally, after the outbreak of the epidemic, Ke Jie suddenly became embroiled in controversy on Weibo and began living an abstract boxing life. At this moment, I suddenly realized that he was a ready-made protagonist.

But what really prompted me to write this was the competition that Jiebao has been holding over the past six months.

First, in the Nongshim Cup, facing Park Jung-hwan's fierce momentum of winning four consecutive matches, Ke Jie held on to the last hurdle and defeated Park by half a point. The entire live broadcast of the match made people's hearts pound.

Then, not long ago at the Samsung Cup, Ke Jie once again reversed the score by half a point against Shen Huang in a desperate situation. This match was even more exciting, like sitting up in a coffin.

Then, at the LG Cup, Ke Jie once again displayed incredible ability to defeat Bian Huang's large dragon, making it another incredibly difficult match for everyone.

I accepted the process of "Ke Jie is at a disadvantage", "Ke Jie is powerless to turn the tide", and "Ke Jie's opponent has given up".

I also gained a lot of courage from him to challenge the niche subject of Go.

With this, the first volume is finished. Although there were some setbacks at one point, it has at least achieved a passable level of completion.

The basic framework has been set. It's roughly about getting one title after another, then defeating the pre-determined final boss, and Ke Zhiguang returning home with a full load of honor. Congratulations!

And the final boss is all set up; there's absolutely no way the fight will be abandoned. If things get bad, we'll just floor the gas and stop right there for the boss battle, then we're done! Perfect timing! Plan in place!

In short, at worst it will just end badly, it's impossible for it to be abandoned!

Ahem, scratch that last sentence. I promise I won't let it end badly. If it does, I'll livestream myself dressed as a woman and get sexually assaulted by my group members. Remember to rescue me on Pixiv then.

Actually, regarding this series, I initially only planned to write something similar to "Voice Actor Girlfriend" or "Absolute Number One," something about everyday life and stock trading. But recently I've become obsessed with "Tokyo Kendo," and I couldn't help but step on the gas and get really into it.

Who cares if it's awkward or not, let's get fired up first.

However, the subsequent plot should be much smoother, with more lighthearted and fun daily life, more cuteness and silliness, and my unique skill of crazyly inserting Soviet jokes.

Picking up girls, beating people up, and showing off are the basic themes and purpose of this series. As for stock trading? How could I possibly have such unscrupulous skills?

As for my level of expertise in Go, although I can't create my own original games like the professional Go player next door who has seven dead and eight alive moves, I can copy existing game records!

Post a screenshot of the original game in the comments section to pretend you're a professional—perfect!

As for the plot, there shouldn't be too much. I counted, there are five volumes in total, a little over a million words, and the battles are resolved quickly.

Well, I'll stop my closing remarks here.

I will continue to write 4000 words per day until the book is published, at which point I can legitimately write more.

As for the daily update time, it might be a bit confusing, but with 12 o'clock as the dividing line, there will definitely be 4000 words every day.

Regardless, let's run another QQ group ad: there's a group owner dressed as a woman, it's true!

QQ: 797902589

I finally have time to review the missions in Chapter 1.

The next day, Ke Zhiguang got up around noon.

Last night, I saw an arcade and couldn't resist taking my teammates inside. We played until very late, and now my head is still buzzing with the addictive electronic music.

After we finished playing, when we were deciding on the next day's itinerary with our friends, Shuicheng suddenly suggested that we go to Xiaoguang's house to play the next day.

The proposal was passed with surprising unanimity.

Ke Zhiguang didn't object, since he had already dealt with the legacy left by the original owner under his bed and was completely clean.

Moreover, I've been obsessed with farming for gamers for the past month, which has resulted in a lot of Famicom cartridges, including some games that are only available in Europe and America and haven't been officially released in China. I definitely need to take some time to process them.

So, everyone's so keen on coming to his house, they must be here to play Famicom, right?

He didn't need to go anywhere today; home was the main battlefield. It also gave him time to review his previous tasks and achievements.

Ke Zhiguang got up and went to the table. He lifted the cloth covering the Go board and finally had time to properly inspect the treasure chest that Ze Zi had dropped.

Five Hokkaido travel vouchers, a can of coffee, and a "Safe Journey" greeting.

Next is item four: [Special Item: Insight Skill Scroll]

[A Glimpse Inside the Treasure Chest]

A very strange description.

It's a skill scroll.

Ke Zhiguang thought for a while.

It basically means that you can directly see the list of items that can be obtained from each person.

After all, he always compares others to treasure chests.

Undoubtedly, this is a very useful skill. It saves you from having to physically pry open other people's bodies all day long to see what's inside them. After using this scroll, you can see it directly.

Anyway, great!

Moreover, if I remember correctly, Kiyonuma Yuzawa does have a special skill that can see through the strength of lower-ranking players at a glance, so it is reasonable for this scroll to fall from his body.

Without saying a word, he quickly activated the skill scroll.

A wondrous power surged into my body, and I felt stronger again.

Next is prop five:

[Task Review Notes]

This time it was a thick black notebook, which felt quite ominous, as if writing someone's name in it would cause that person to die of a heart attack within minutes.

Opening the notebook to the first page, one finds the beginning of the Demon Dragon incident.

It starts by tracing back to ancient times.

For a time, Go was popular across all social classes, from the emperor to nobles and commoners to intellectuals. Everyone was enthusiastic about Go, and gambling on Go became rampant, even crowding out social productivity.

At this time, sorcerers who possessed magical powers also set their sights on Go.

They exhausted countless efforts and used sorcery to create a hanging scroll with a demonic dragon printed on it. Under the protection of this scroll, an ordinary person's chess skills could be directly raised to a fixed, extremely high level.

However, the demonic dragon needs a host, and the person who becomes the host of the demonic dragon must have their fate sealed and also possess a certain level of strength.

The cost is an irregular sleep schedule and having to stay away from sunlight.

The host's physical condition will also decline sharply, becoming extremely weak. Even a small wound will bleed profusely, and a minor illness could lead to death.

From a scientific point of view, this might mean that the immune system has collapsed, leaving only 1 drop of health remaining.

None of the dragon's previous hosts lived more than five years, but even so, there were always desperate young men who were unwilling to live an ordinary life and would sacrifice themselves to it.
