I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

Eighteen consecutive wins, a Grand Slam!

How would someone like that stir up a storm in the professional world?

Luo Feng went up to the fourth floor and sat down. There was a brown bench in front of the entrance to the fourth-floor game room.

He sat on the old chair with its worn-out leather cover and let out a deep breath.

Putting aside their own contributions, others have also donated a lot of money to the Shogi Federation, so why can't they properly repair these things? Or replace them with new ones?

Honestly, I wonder where all this money ended up.

Ah, humanity.

Luo Feng fiddled with three copper coins, which were given to him by other demons during the hour he spent recuperating in hell; they were his favorite items.

That devil is the same devil who initially sent the succubus to demand Luo Feng's soul.

Luo Feng's strength is now beyond their comprehension, and coupled with the jungle law of hell, Luo Feng could kill them without any problem by using the rules.

So... Luo Feng ended up with a whole bunch of messy stuff in his house in Hell, and many demons regretted not following him sooner.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng couldn't help but look strange. It's true that many places in Hell are similar to the human world, including the custom of gift-giving.

The human world is actually much better; gift-giving and kickbacks are done secretly, unlike hell, where it's so open and aboveboard, with strict class distinctions.

"Tsk, the Spencer family's actions are really slow," Luo Feng muttered.

During his absence, the Spencer family paid the price for the loss of their diplomatic rights due to Eugene's mistakes—a clear line in the story.

The head of the family sent the best medical team he could to treat Leonard.

Sawamura Sayuri didn't think much of it. This kind of reassurance was normal, especially since only one medical team was sent and no extra compensation was given, which she felt was a bit little, but she could accept it.

The Spencer family head wanted to deal with Sayuri Sawamura after Leonard recovered, but obviously he still needed to rest and wouldn't recover so quickly.

Moreover, if he acts hastily at this point, anyone with eyes can see that it was him who did it, so waiting is necessary.

Sawamura Sayuri and Eriri seem to have returned to normal life.

Just as Luo Feng was lost in thought, a figure walked out of the game room.

"Lost?" Luo Feng glanced at the man.

He was stunned when he saw Luo Feng. Wasn't this Kong Yinzi's rumored boyfriend? How did he get in?

Since the previous match had not yet ended, no reporters would come to disturb them, nor would they come to this floor.

“She lost. She’s very strong.” Jingzhou Pegasus looked at Luo Feng: “She was so eager at the beginning because you were waiting for her, right? It’s a pity I didn’t seize such a good opportunity.”

"Of course it's stronger." Luo Feng stretched.

Jingzhou Pegasus nodded and said to the Rewards Club members behind him, "Everyone, let's leave this place to the two of them."

As Jingzhou Pegasus spoke, the remaining reward members followed him.

The first female professional Go player in history, the female professional Go player with an eighteen-game winning streak, can be considered a slap in the face to those members of the reward club who looked down on female Go players. In addition, this is Tokyo, not Osaka, and there are also issues with Sora Ginko's interpersonal relationships. Not many people wanted to congratulate her. Only one female Go player wanted to offer her congratulations, but she thought about it and decided not to disturb her at this time.

Everyone left, and she was the only one left, which seemed odd.

Just after they left, a silver-haired girl appeared.

"Luo Feng." Kong Yinzi looked very calm, not like she had just finished a game that concerned her fate, but as relaxed and natural as if she had just eaten a meal.

"Oh, our professional chess player has come out." Luo Feng stood up and took a step towards her.

"Hmm... I've been promoted." Sora nodded. "It's alright. I studied game records on my own when you weren't around."

She just felt a chill run down her spine.

I said in the game room before that my god was by my side, my god has returned, it's so embarrassing to think about!

Especially when facing Luo Feng, she wasn't sure if he had heard her.

He can know anything if he wants to!

There are absolutely no secrets when associating with someone like that.

She looks calm now, but her heart is trembling. How can she possibly stay calm?

If Luo Feng brings this up, she... she'll jump off the game room.

"Promotion is easy, because the god of shogi is looking out for you."

"..."

"I am the God of Shogi."

"..."

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Kong Yinzi's face flushed red to the roots of her neck.

He heard it! He really heard it!

For some reason, Sora Ginko thought of the first time they met, when this bastard had tricked her into believing he was the god of shogi...

"Your god has always been there." Luo Feng smiled as he looked at the girl in front of him.

"Stop talking, you bastard!"

Kong Yinzi, emboldened by some unknown source, leaped forward and grabbed Luo Feng by the neck.

Fearing she would fall, Luo Feng instinctively caught her slender waist in mid-air.

Kong Yinzi didn't want to strangle Luo Feng, but rather...

She stared at Luo Feng's face, then pressed her lips firmly against his.

The two have known each other for so long, and every time they do something, it's always Luo Feng who takes the initiative, unless Kong Yinzi is really provoked.

This time, it was the first time that Sora Ginko had taken the initiative to kiss Luo Feng...

Chapter 312 What about humanity?

"The match is over. Sora Ginko, fourth dan, is born." Kato Megumi glanced at the other reporters' interviews and casually reported this to Oreki Kimie.

"This is big news." Oreki Kimie knew exactly what it meant for a girl to win a Grand Slam and enter the world of professional Go players.

So, the izakaya has been closed for the past month, and we can't get through on the phone. What on earth is Luo Feng up to?

What is certain is that he is not avoiding me; I am not worth him avoiding.

“Senda Valley is in complete chaos. More and more people are coming to watch the excitement, and if this continues, it will soon be completely blocked.” Kato Megumi said, “Hmm, it’s a pity I’m not a shogi reporter, so I can’t go and cover it.”

"Have you noticed that your interviews have become more easily detected lately?" asked Oreki Kimie.

"Hmm...that's true. I would never be discovered before, but now if I go to the scene, some police officers with good observation skills can still spot me." Kato Megumi said with some distress, "Even if I try to sneak in behind those big shots, I'll still get spotted and kicked out by their bodyguards."

"Has it been because you haven't been practicing your induction techniques lately, or is that guy up to something?" Oreki Kimie asked.

"Maybe it's a perk I got from selling myself to him?"

Kato Megumi thought for a moment and said.

For her, the fact that she was starting to be noticed was a benefit, not a bad thing.

Every girl dreams of becoming an idol. She wants to be the center of attention, and even if she isn't, she still wants to be noticed. She doesn't like her talent at all.

No one likes being ordinary, but most people can only be ordinary.

As for convenience at work?

She didn't become a journalist to expose evil to the world, nor to become famous or a renowned reporter. She simply felt that the job offered high salaries and good benefits, nothing more.

If she becomes more easily discovered and unable to perform certain tasks, she will simply go from a high-earning reporter to a low-earning one, with a corresponding reduction in overtime, assignments, and bonuses.

It made no difference to her.

She earns more when she has more work, and enough when she has less work. Anyway, she doesn't buy houses, cars, designer bags, or watches, so she has enough to live on.

"Tsk, what a waste of your talent." Oreki Kimie said, then stopped paying attention.

Her heart isn't in this position, so it doesn't matter if Kato Megumi's sharp blade becomes dull.

…………

“Since the awards ceremony, I have been researching my own strategy. Kunugi 4-dan gave me a lot of inspiration. I was able to break through to the 3-dan league thanks to his inspiration, and also... thanks to my boyfriend’s care. He has never asked me to do anything, allowing me to relax and focus on playing Go.”

Sora Ginko has arrived at the press conference and is being interviewed by the public.

She had done this kind of interview many times and just wanted it to end quickly.

"Thank you again to my mentor, my loved one, and everyone who has supported me. Thank you for making me who I am today."

The reporters below were taking pictures like crazy.

She's going to lose a lot of followers! After this interview, Sora Ginko will definitely lose a lot of followers!

How can the men who support her express their gratitude to her loved one at such an important press conference?

When her relationship was first exposed, her commercial value dropped significantly, yet she continued to pursue it.

Well, that makes sense. She's earned all the money she could, and with her boyfriend being so wealthy—a major sponsor of the Shogi Federation—she doesn't need any more.

Sora bowed, indicating that if there was nothing else, they should finish quickly.

"Miss Kong, you've already become a professional Go player. Could you tell us about your next goal?" a reporter asked quickly.

“Participate in the Dragon King Battle and become the Dragon King next year.” Kong Yinzi smiled slightly. “As far as I know, celebrities will also participate. I want to learn from them in the Dragon King Battle.”

Many title battles conflict, so you can't select all of them if you're using the "empty silver" option.

For example, the Dragon King tournament's preliminary rounds run from December to September of the following year, while the title matches run from October to December.

The reporters were shocked; this was incredibly arrogant!

Clearly, to become the Dragon King, one must defeat countless masters, including celebrities, before standing before Yaichi Kuzuryu and engaging in a life-or-death battle with the reigning Dragon King!

She said she wanted to learn from him, but since she said she would become the Dragon King next year, she definitely had to beat Mingren and Kuzuryuu Yaichi.

These two individuals are, respectively, the youngest Dragon King and the six-time eternal champion; one is the representative of software shogi, and the other is the pinnacle of popular shogi.

Can this petite girl really reach that peak?

However, the Dragon King Tournament is indeed the only tournament she can participate in this year, because the earliest other title tournaments, such as the Chess King Tournament and the King General Tournament, will be held in January next year.

The remaining qualifying rounds are all concentrated in May, June, and July.
