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

She gradually immersed herself in the world of shogi, her own world.

That's not enough! It's far from enough!

My current computing power is simply insufficient to study such chess records, and even if I did manage to do so, I wouldn't be able to incorporate them into my current tactics.

My current strategy can be said to be aimed at Kuzuryu Hachiichi, since I am very familiar with his moves.

If it were another expert, without the support of such powerful computing ability, it would be difficult to win, with a chance of only 30% or even lower, since he had never studied those opponents.

Previously, she wanted to stand out in the 3-dan league and become a professional Go player, but now she is different. She wants to be among the real top players in the Go world, such as Meijin, Ayumu Shinnabe, Yaichi Kuzuryu, and her own master, Kosuke Kiyotaki.

We have to beat them, we even have to win seven titles, before we're qualified to play against Blank, right?

It was agreed that the next time they met, he would face them in person, not as projections they left behind.

Wait... I need to think carefully about what I've done with TeTu's computing power before. I have to remember!

She had previously used Tet's computing power to think about how she would rank among the top performers with her current abilities.

She also considered her own computing power...

"This is definitely too little!" Sora Ginko slapped his forehead.

She remembered that her computing power was divided into several levels.

The first level is naturally Tetu's level; the second level is when Luo Feng first gave him computing power; the third level is when he played against Kujira Soto; the fourth level is himself now!

Without my knowledge, the amount I received was reduced twice. This guy even tampered with the goods? He's a devil!

Hmm... it seems like he always was.

It wasn't a misperception; I originally wanted to ask him, but various things got in the way.

So, what should we do? Go and confront him ourselves?

In terms of the contract, do you think you can outwit him? You'd probably get humiliated, and then...

How can I get this computing power back? How can I get him to give it to me happily?

First, think about what he likes...

He probably enjoys torturing me!

I'm offering myself up to be tortured? This...

No, we can't always think of him from the devil's perspective. He's just a man, and even if he were a devil, it doesn't negate the fact that he's a normal man.

Every man has the same weaknesses as other men.

Thinking of this, Sora Ginko gritted her teeth and remembered the 'battle suit' that Shakado Rina had tailored for her, which she wanted her to wear during the inauguration ceremony of Kuzuryuu Yaichi.

As for what I had previously thought was that I would rather die than wear those clothes to please him?

Anyway, everything has already happened. It's just about wearing a pretty dress... I was too naive yesterday to think like that.

Chapter 081 Price Increase

In the afternoon, at an izakaya (Japanese pub).

Luo Feng was amusing himself when Kong Yinzi unexpectedly returned.

She was wearing a pristine white dress, her hair tied up, and she looked meticulously styled.

"Hey, you're dressed quite nicely. What brings you back?" Luo Feng teased.

Wearing this outfit, Sora Ginko received countless stares as she walked by, making her feel extremely ashamed.

Even now that she's with Luo Feng, her little face is still rosy and she looks incredibly cute.

"I...Is the computing power you gave me a little off?" Kong Yinzi walked up to Luo Feng somewhat awkwardly.

Luo Feng was very pleased to see that she had adjusted so well.

One has to admire the incredible allure and healing power of shogi for Sora Ginko; it can restore Sora Ginko to her normal state.

Luo Feng could sense her longing; it was a thirst for power.

After experiencing Tet's power, she could no longer tolerate ordinary talents.

Even if he gave her the abridged version, she would still feel it was weak, even if he gave her the original version that Kong Yinzi had given her. That's the difference between a human and a god.

It's important to understand that Tet lost to Blank because Blank consists of two people who can complement each other's weaknesses, while Tet is just one person!

Individually speaking, Tet is the strongest in the game.

The power that Sora Ginko experienced before was that of Tet, who had not yet become the One God. Once Tet became the One God, he would only become more powerful over time.

If she experiences that kind of power, wouldn't she have no more ambition when she reaches Tet's power?

"Nothing's wrong. When I said I'd improve your computing power, I meant I'd improve your computing power. Didn't you feel it too?" Luo Feng showed no remorse for being exposed as a shrewd businessman. He spread his hands and smiled at Kong Yinzi, looking completely innocent as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

"I, I..." Sora Ginko gritted her teeth: "It feels like less than the first time..."

"Didn't I give you a discount?" Luo Feng said, "Don't you usually notice any difference in quality when you buy discounted items?"

It's not that all promotional items are bad; what Ke Luofeng said is indeed correct.

"I understand now, you've improved my computing power, but you didn't say how much!" Kong Yinzi suddenly realized: "This is the trap."

"Tsk, how can something that's consensual be called a trap?" Luo Feng looked Kong Yinzi up and down: "Your outfit is really cute."

"What do you want to do..." Kong Yinzi covered her clothes, instinctively took a step back, and looked at Luo Feng warily.

She quickly remembered what she did for a living and took another step forward: "I want to switch back to the same computing power as before, for a year, right?"

"Five years." Luo Feng held up five fingers: "The discount period is over."

The man with empty silver was furious and gritted his teeth.

We initially agreed on a one-year contract, but he compromised on his own abilities and even his own. Now, all I want is what we initially agreed on, and the price has increased fivefold? Why don't you just rob me!

She now understands how precious her time and soul are, and that these are the assets she has to move forward.

I have too many shortcomings, such as physical strength, calculation ability, and others. I will probably have to make trades. What if I consume too much too early and fail to reach the level I want?

If she could time travel, she really wanted to go back and beat up her past self who hadn't agreed in the first place. Why didn't she just change her mind from the start?

"Too much!" Kong Yinzi wanted to try bargaining.

"Six years." Luo Feng's gesture changed, and a pleased smile appeared on his face.

This is an exclusive product of his; he can set the price himself.

In fact, the five or six years that Kong Yinzi lived in had no effect on him. Kong Yinzi was now completely under his control, but he just liked to see Kong Yinzi's regretful little expression.

Especially since she dressed up so beautifully to see me, wasn't it just so she could make me fall for her cuteness and ask for less?

Sorry, I'm not the kind of devil who'll take less of you just because you're cute.

"I'll change!" Kong Yinzi quickly said, "I'll change, okay?"

"Good boy." Luo Feng revealed the contract, a pleased smile on his face. "But..."

"But what?" Kong Yinzi became wary again.

Luo Feng opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Kong Yinzi's red lips.

…………

Metropolitan Police Department.

Yukino had just finished a meeting and had a look on her face that said someone owed her ten million.

She was the only one in her group with this expression.

This operation is too dangerous, so she can't participate...

Even though everyone was in the same group, those with stronger backgrounds didn't have to go on missions, while those without backgrounds, those with good grades, and those who got promoted based on seniority had to go on missions to capture people.

She asked her boss, and the answer she received was that they needed opportunities more.

Upon hearing this, Yukino understood. Because these family members had more avenues for advancement, and because their lives were more precious, they were not allowed to go.

Conversely, those who want to get promoted need sufficient merit, experience, and so on, so this dangerous mission is an opportunity for them.

It has to be said that this is the tragedy of reality.

Yukino can sit back and wait for the victory celebration, while the other side has to fight tooth and nail...

"Under the snow..."

The policewoman who was more familiar with Yukino sat down next to her and comforted her, saying, "This mission was really dangerous. The other side killed three people and got away unscathed. It's better if you don't go."

“He killed three people, all intentionally, and we didn’t even realize why he killed them at first.” Yukino rubbed her temples helplessly. “His exposure this time was clearly deliberate; he wanted to bring his killers to light. We were about to take action, but we still don’t know his motives. Only the higher-ups know the connection between the victims. They won’t even let me know the backgrounds of the people on my side…”

"Don't investigate any further. The people who died were all very capable," the policewoman advised. "We can't afford to offend any of the forces behind them."

"Can't we afford to offend them? Then what's the point of having us?" Yukino's face showed a somewhat sad expression.

"The meaning of our existence..." the policewoman opened her mouth, then whispered, "isn't it to protect those capitalists?"

“Aren’t civilians’ lives also lives?” Yukino’s gaze fell on her: “If they hadn’t done something intolerable, how could they have endured for so long and had such a meticulous assassination plan, preventing the Metropolitan Police Department from finding the culprit immediately?”

"Phew, never mind." The policewoman scratched her head. "This operation is very important. We not only have to arrest people, but also protect someone."

"Protect whom?" Yukino asked quickly.

"Only the action team knows this, I'm sorry," the policewoman said apologetically. "We're setting up the surveillance operation today. If we're serious, he definitely won't get away, don't worry."

"What is it?" Kong Yinzi looked at Luo Feng in confusion.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to try something exciting." Luo Feng smiled happily.

"Exciting?" Kong Yinzi blinked her big eyes, somewhat confused, then suddenly realized, her face flushed with embarrassment and indignation: "It's daytime..."

"So, will you agree or not?" Luo Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Kong Yinzi looked at her clothes and felt a little regretful.

Such beautiful clothes are going to be ruined again; they were made for me with so much effort.

"Don't worry, you don't need to take off your clothes," Luo Feng said with a half-smile.

"No need to take off your clothes?" Kong Yinzi was confused again.

What does this mean? If I don't need to take off my clothes, how can I do *that*?
