The work of the Go master

"I see..." Ke Zhiguang nodded thoughtfully, feeling that another mystery had been solved.

No wonder, Ke Zhiguang always felt an excessive warmth when she called his name.

As for the Eternal Moon Heaven title... that rank is a bit too high, it's enough to crush someone like Eternal 8th rank.

One of the three major titles, Moon Sky.

This story comes from the courtesy name of Huang Longshi, a Go master in the Middle Ages, also known as Huang Yuetian.

Although Huang Longshi, Shi Xiangxia, and Fan Xiping are collectively known as the Three Great Chess Saints of the Middle Ages, if a vote were to be cast, Huang Longshi would be more representative as the Great Chess Saint of the Middle Ages.

Shi Xiangxia and Fan Xiping were the two dragons of that era. Although they far surpassed others, neither of them could represent that era alone. Their relationship was like that of Wang Yang and President Kaiba, a love-hate relationship.

In Huang Longshi's era, he was the only one who could be considered his opponent, and the only one who could barely be his opponent was Zhou Donghou, who was known as Zhou Hu. That's how Huang Long and Zhou Hu came to be. No one else was qualified to play chess with Huang Longshi.

Although the battle between dragons and tigers sounds good, everyone knows that a tiger can't beat a dragon. The relationship between these two is like that of King Yu and Jonouchi. King Yu occasionally makes a few mistakes and will sometimes let Jonouchi win a couple of rounds.

What kind of effect will the Eternal Moon Sky have?

"How is Qingdao's father now?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

"He died of illness, just three years ago."

"Ok?"

This is not what I expected. Logically speaking, having obtained such a powerful eternal title, one should be surrounded by countless halos and be invincible.

“His health has always been very weak; he was a chess player who played in a wheelchair. That year, he lost the title of Moon God, and everything he did plummeted. Looking back now, it seems as if that game of chess took his life.” The shopkeeper’s tone softened.

Ke Zhiguang suddenly thought of the book "Celebrities" that the treasure map had sent him, which also told the story of a chess player who passed away with the wind, as if it were some kind of allegory.

"Alright, let's not talk about this sad thing anymore. I'll have a chance to play some medieval Go with Harushima in the future," Ke Zhiguang said, then continued to focus on reviewing the game.

So, what should we do next today?

After watching the inspirational video of Harujima Kashiwagi's personal struggle, he was greatly encouraged and felt that he needed to speed up the implementation of his plan.

To be honest, he only felt that he had a plan, but he didn't know the specifics of his plan.

If you want to move out, it would be best to live near Saito's teaching location.

The teaching location is in Gobancho, Chiyoda Ward, which is also very close to the Go Institute. I will probably be going there often in the future, so it's a good idea to establish a foothold there in advance.

Furthermore, Gobancho is very close to the school, so you can easily go there to visit club activities.

Unfortunately, this place is called Chiyoda Ward, which is the most central area of ​​Japan, where land is extremely valuable.

Even if Koji Hikaru were to go out early and late at night, hunting at various Go halls, earning a stable income of 10,000 yen per game, it would still take him a long time to save up.

Rather than hoping to make money from this, it's better to hope to win the championship in the Rising Stars Challenge and take home a huge prize.

Moreover, he is now quite well-known. If he enters someone's Go room and doesn't give them a handicap of a few stones, they probably won't be willing to play against him.

Damn it, Zezi died too early, otherwise I could be happily fishing in the black market right now.

Although I have a lot of passion, reality is too cruel.

Why not make the most of the holiday and call Bai Meng again to invite some people over to play?

"Ke Jun, is there anything else today?" the store manager asked casually.

"It's in the planning stages."

With that one glance up, Ke Zhiguang's gaze inadvertently swept over the store manager.

Suddenly, I realized that the props on the shop manager's body were now visible.

Perhaps it's because I just defeated him.

[Consumable Item: Rent Discount Coupon]

There's an apartment near Chiyoda Gobancho that's currently available for rent at an extremely low price—don't miss it!

Ok?

Ok?

Ok?

So this game is really for pure mind control, where you can get whatever you want without even having to say a word?

"Manager, have you ever stayed in a rental house in Chiyoda Ward?" Koji asked curiously.

It's understandable that someone could get a claw machine skill scroll from Bai Meng, but getting a rent discount coupon from the store manager is really hard to comprehend.

“It’s very close to the chess academy. I studied chess there when I was young, and I did squeeze into a rented room with a few friends.”

That is indeed a reasonable answer.

In short, the opportunity has arrived.

Whether or not to take this step depends on now.

Ke Zhiguang can hear his own heartbeat.

At times like these, it's crucial to remain calm and avoid rushing in only to be overwhelmed by the琐碎事 (trivialities) of daily life and end up returning here in a disheveled state.

Starting with the most basic things, like basic furniture, a suitable bed, duvet cover, and even a toothbrush.

If we delve even deeper into the details, we can even include the toilet seat...

Holy crap! This is so complicated!

This is absolutely off-putting!

But suddenly, a divinely inspired, devilish flash of inspiration appeared in Ke Zhi's optical brain.

Why not just refresh this thing?

Just like the washing machine that burst out of Bai Meng's body.

He can now see at a glance what other people can drop, so why is he afraid that these things won't drop?

"Manager, can you do me a favor?"

"What kind of help?"

"Could you please list the addresses for me? Just list all the Go rooms you know."

Ahem, sorry, consider it as me skipping yesterday, I'll make up for it today.

In the blink of an eye.

As noon arrived at the start of a new day, Ke Zhiguang groggily opened his eyes.

Since having two late-night snacks a few days ago, his biological clock has changed to waking up at noon.

After receiving the new list of fishponds... oops, I mean the chess club address from the store manager yesterday afternoon, he immediately got to work.

Starting with the nearest chess club, we swept through them one by one.

The specific process involves arriving at a chess hall, using the [Insight] skill to discover the items that each person can drop, and challenging anyone who is found to be related to daily necessities.

However, the efficiency was not as high as expected.

First of all, he is now quite famous. As soon as he entered the store, the staff pointed out his identity as the champion of the team competition, and the fish in the fishpond all retreated.

Secondly, most people don't get good items from loot boxes; at most, they'll get drinks or snacks. It's hard to find someone who can drop the items you're looking for.

Yesterday afternoon, after hunting for half a day, we only managed to catch three stubborn people.

They've revealed discount coupons for TVs (9% off), electric fans (9.5% off), and toasters (8.7% off).

The long-standing half-price coupons gave Ke Zhiguang a misconception that whenever there was a surge in coupon sales, it would always be half-price.

In comparison, the 30,000 yuan reward for winning three games is much more substantial.

The situation was a little unusual; he had visited so many stores yesterday, yet he hadn't seen a single person carrying any special props or spiritual items.

Those who claim to have an amateur 4-dan level can only sell some simple consumer goods.

To be honest, White-tailed Fox is only an amateur level 3 fighter, but he can still drop important items like amulets and location cards in one go.

Not to mention some less sophisticated customers who even revealed that they had custom-made suits.

Clearly, whether or not good items are revealed has little to do with the players' skill level.

In that case, it might only concern myself now.

Since my chess skills have far surpassed theirs, I can only get low-level items when I fight them.

Is that right?

We need to find a stronger opponent.

So where exactly can you find a group of suitable opponents?

After thinking it over, the answer that popped into his head was actually the chess academy.

A place teeming with sharks.

Just as I was pondering this, the doorbell rang outside.

.....

......

A few minutes earlier, Bai Meng and the vice president were walking on their way to Ke Zhiguang's house.

"If we go to Ke Zhiguang's house now, we shouldn't run into Miss Qingdao again, right?" Bai Meng said anxiously.

"I don't think so. She was very firm when she said goodbye to us the day before yesterday. She wouldn't do something like slinking back and embarrassing herself," the vice president calmly analyzed.

“Speaking of which, Miss Harushima, you’re sure to become a remarkable person in the future. To be a competitor with someone like that, I…” Bai Meng’s eyebrows drooped slightly.

"Don't talk nonsense." The vice president seemed to be encouraging Bai Meng, but the next second he was sarcastic, "You are not worthy to be Qingdaolu's competitor. You are just a useless woman."

Bai Meng was choked by this sharp tongue, as if she had been shot.

"Someone like Harushima Kashima will have a very high status in the future. If she wants to, she can play with men like ducks. Do you have that kind of power?"

"Can't we be more realistic? Let's not talk about status, let's talk about temperament, legs and stuff like that..." Bai Meng pouted and said.

“I’m talking about the most realistic thing. What you’re talking about, like legs and temperament, that’s called romance. I can even add a bust to that for you, but what’s the use? When it comes to marrying someone of equal social standing, those things don’t count as advantages.”

The vice president and Bai Meng both tacitly agreed that Ke Zhiguang would definitely obtain one of the three major titles in the future. As for whether he could make one of them permanent, that remains to be seen.

"The only thing you can do now is to make good use of your current relationship as classmates and develop something with him so that it can be a beautiful memory in the future."
