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

Oreki Kimie gritted her teeth.

After so many incidents, she had already confirmed it. Many things, if Luo Feng wanted to, couldn't be avoided even if she tried.

Just like Kato Megumi, who was already quite calm, but Luo Feng still wouldn't let go.

Knowing him is just bad luck.

There was no way to avoid or stop Luo Feng.

Let's get this task done first, and become the devil first!

P.S.: "I Really Don't Need These Female Leads"

The author and the story of "Old Pervert" featuring a protagonist who loses his memory after a failed confession are very interesting and worth checking out.

Chapter 462 Getting Bound by Appearances

After leaving Luo Feng's izakaya, Fujiwara Sai felt completely weak, and cold sweat soaked his entire body.

Fortunately, that devil still had some humanity and didn't make himself do anything too outrageous.

Holding a large pile of Go-related documents, a house key, a bank card, and a set of account passwords, Sai couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Serega and Alice were in the same state when they came out of Luo Feng's place, but they had been tormented by Luo Feng, while Sai had suddenly achieved his long-cherished wish and didn't know what to do first.

He hailed a taxi and arrived at a familiar place.

Looking at the place that used to be a Go dojo, which has now become an internet cafe, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

Since the rise of online Go, and with two generations passing in the past twenty years, Go dojos have become fewer and fewer. Even this one has closed down and turned into an internet cafe.

Sai strolled into the internet cafe, turned on a computer, and then realized he didn't know how to use it.

After much effort, I managed to get the network administrator to help me log into the Go website I used before, only to find that it had changed drastically.

Previously, the interface was simple, only showing rankings and allowing players to compete.

What now?

The website's login screen features cute girls, and it offers things like a free gold character at the start, the ability to buy chess effects, animations, and victory CGs, and the option to feed your character to increase their affection for you.

Looking at all these fancy things, Sai couldn't help but feel a headache. Playing chess is just playing chess, why bother with all this?

When he was a wandering ghost, he had seen these things, but he was always focused on the game of chess itself and didn't pay much attention to anything else. So he even needed the network administrator to help him find out what kind of software it was.

Logging into his familiar account, looking at his undefeated record and the game that had wiped him out, Sai was filled with mixed emotions.

In the past twenty years, although he has not played, with each simulation and watching powerful chess players ascend to the altar and then be surpassed by the next generation, he has also become stronger and has simulated countless moves in his mind.

Let's see who can be our first opponent today.

He clicked on random matchmaking. Given his undefeated record and unparalleled status, he was certain he would be matched with a professional Go player.

Soon, the first player to start the match appeared.

"Jin Tengliang? That name sounds so familiar..." Sai muttered to himself.

…………

A residential house.

Hikaru Shindo is a middle-aged man under forty years old who holds a certain status in the Go world and is the title of Kisei (Go Saint).

In the world of Go, the title of Kisei is the highest, Meijin is second, and Honinbo is third. This ranking method is simple: look at the prize money...

The prize money for the three titles all exceeds 30 million, which cannot fully represent the strength, but everyone is still used to ranking them this way.

The title of Kisei is equivalent to the highest ranks in shogi, Ryuo and Meijin. Hikaru Shindo is clearly not an ordinary Kisei; he has held this title for ten years.

He harbored a secret in his heart: his Go teacher, the one who led him into the world of Go, Fujiwara no Sai, was someone only he could see, and he had disappeared for almost twenty years.

His Go style was initially completely Sai's style. Later, after he achieved great success, he forged his own path. There were very few people in the Japanese Go world who could rival him, even Honinbo Shuuai was a level below him.

He was lying in bed at that moment, quietly watching a TV series set in the Heian period.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

He answered his phone when it rang.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

His voice sounded a little impatient. He hated being disturbed when he was watching TV dramas, and even his daughter wouldn't dare to bother him at this time.

The person calling him now is one of his disciples. If there's nothing else going on, he'll definitely punish him severely!

"SAI, SAI is online!"

"What did you say? Which SAI?" Hikaru Shindo was involuntarily stunned for a moment.

"That's SAI, the one who beat Meijin back then!"

"Impossible!" Hikaru Shindo roared.

He registered that account, but it hasn't been used for almost twenty years.

Although the data has been saved, this account should only be known to him.

Sai has disappeared and will never reappear!

Could it be that someone hacked Sai's account?

He was very familiar with account theft. Back then, the internet was too rudimentary, and there was no password protection or anything like that. If you knew the account and password, you could log in to the account.

Damn it!

He quickly logged into his account and found SAI.

Sure enough, someone was using Sai's account.

He didn't quite understand the value of the name Sai before, but now he knows it all too well.

As long as he uses Sai's name, he can definitely make waves in the Go world and earn a lot of money.

If this name belongs to an old man, then it makes perfect sense. He could stop playing chess, be worshipped all the time, and profit from it.

Hikaru Shindo gritted his teeth, deciding to expose this fraudster to the public.

Given his current status in the industry, it would be incredibly easy for him to crush a fraudster impersonating Sai.

Wait, are they playing chess?

Curious, he clicked on the spectator button and discovered that many acquaintances were already watching.

Aside from young people who enjoy watching the spectacle, there are many more like him, people who experienced Sai's era.

His opponent was...

Hikaru Shindo's eyes widened. Wasn't this his daughter?

I've only been a newbie for less than a year.

However, due to her family background, her potential is limitless, and she will likely occupy a certain position among female Go players in the future.

Is this person's chess-playing style really Sai's style?

They really went to great lengths to imitate it!

Hikaru Shindo had completely come to believe that Sai was a fraud, since Sai was from a thousand years ago and couldn't possibly play Go.

hum...

His phone rang again.

He answered the phone immediately and said hello.

Are you watching SAI's moves?

"Hmm, I'm watching, this is a fake SAI!"

"How can you be sure this is fake? It looks a lot like the game we played together back then."

"That's why I said he was fake, the real SAI, the real SAI..."

"What exactly is the real SAI? It's been so many years, and you still haven't explained it clearly!"

The person who called him was Akira Touya, the "Celebrity" among the three major titles, who was raised by Sai.

Although there aren't many match records, Sai left him with deep psychological trauma every time.

"Phew, anyway, believe me, this person is definitely not the real SAI."

"Watch the game; your daughter is no match for him."

"Yes, it's undeniable that even if this person is fake, he's still very strong."

Hikaru Shindo hung up the phone.

His daughter couldn't even test this person's chess skills. Why would someone so skilled impersonate SAI?

Or is he cheating using software?

In online Go, cheating with software is very easy. Many amateur players even play against each other online with software out of boredom. However, the calculation method of Go is too complex. Apart from machines like AlphaGo that have many servers supporting them, it is not difficult for normal professional AI players to win.

…………

NEET Detective Agency.

While drinking her beverage, Shionji Yuko was looking at the news online.

How did that incident just die down like that? Not even a ripple was stirred up?

Despite the deaths of so many mercenaries and the magnitude of the incident, the buzz surrounding it has somehow dwindled compared to the release of new anime series or the gossip surrounding celebrities and idols.

This society is truly sick.

Even in extraordinary times, idols are always more important than important matters.

dong dong dong...

A knock sounded on the door.

She glanced at the monitor, and her fur stood on end.

She quickly crawled into bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and shivered with her bottom sticking out.

Click.
