Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

Does it matter to him whether he gives up his son or not?

Since I'm going to lose anyway, I might as well refuse to give him the piece. That way, at least I'll die faster and won't have to suffer any longer.

"No need, just give it your all."

Clearly, Su Ran has decided to give up.

But to others, his words sounded like a sarcastic remark.

"Not using Hanekawa Tsubasa? That kid is really arrogant!"

"He's putting on such a show now, but he better not beg Mr. Ikegami for another chance later, or I'll feel ashamed for his father..."

As she spoke, other classmates came over, eager to see Su Ran make a fool of herself.

"Are you sure you don't need to give up your child?"

Yuukawa Tsubasa was stunned for a moment, but seeing that Su Ran didn't seem to regret it at all, she nodded and said, "Alright then, let's guess first."

After saying that, he grabbed a handful of chess pieces into his palm according to the normal rules.

Su Ran followed suit, grabbing a few without a care in the world.

For him, it didn't matter who went first; the outcome of defeat was already predetermined, so these details were no longer important.

"Hikawa Tsubasa, fifteen, an odd number."

"Six Su Ran, an even number."

"Hanekawa Tsubasa goes first."

Harada Ikegami automatically took on the role of referee, glanced at both sides' pieces, and directly signaled to Tsubasa Hanekawa to make the first move.

"clatter."

Soon, Hanekawa Tsubasa placed the first black stone in the lower right corner of the board.

Four rows and four columns, stars.

Upon seeing this move, Harada Ikegami nodded silently.

In Go, the key to victory lies in gaining momentum. Occupying the star points at the start of the game is like having a reliable base when marching into battle.

Whether it's offense or defense, you can proceed with confidence and make strategic moves, making it one of the most reliable opening strategies among the current popular opening patterns.

"Su Ran, it's your turn."

After Yuukawa Tsubasa made his move, he noticed that Su Ran was staring at the chessboard for a long time without moving, and he immediately became a little anxious for him.

According to the rules, if a player fails to place a piece within the scoreboard time limit, the entire game will be forcibly lost.

Having finally met a classmate who was even worse than himself, if he couldn't utterly crush Su Ran, it would be even more unbearable than killing Yuukawa Tsubasa.

"Ah good."

As time ticked away, Su Ran knew she couldn't delay any longer. This was an opportunity her predecessor had fought so hard for, and even if she really didn't know anything, she had to at least put on an act.

Otherwise, everyone would see him as a "filial son".

With that thought in mind, Su Ran made up her mind, picked up a chess piece, and casually pressed it down with her eyes closed.

"clatter!"

The chess piece landed on the chessboard, making a crisp sound as it was placed.

First move, ten columns and ten rows, Tianyuan!

Suddenly, the entire room fell silent!

Everyone stared in disbelief at this move.

At the same time, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in Su Ran's mind:

[Congratulations, host, on making your first move in life! The Go simulator is starting up!]

[Initial mission refreshed: Defeat your opponent within 100 steps]

[Mission Rewards: Three uses of a golden skill, Go talent +1, Go comprehension +10, simulation score +100]

[Accept the mission?]

……

Chapter Two: I, Su Ran, will become the God of Go!

"One hand... Heaven... Heavenly Origin!?"

"I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"Has Su Ran lost her mind? What kind of move is this?"

After a brief silence, many people even burst out laughing, their expressions filled with utter shock!

Even Ikegami, the teacher, was momentarily stunned when he saw the black stone firmly stuck in the center of the board.

To know.

Go is like a battlefield.

If one hand lands on the center point without the support of other pieces, it is easy to be attacked from both sides and devoured by enemy forces from all directions.

Therefore, there is a saying in Go: "Gold corners, silver edges, and grass belly"!

Anyone with even a slight understanding of Go would never place a piece here.

If a player who is well-versed in the art of Go plays like this, it would be considered a provocation to the other side!

Unfortunately, the whispers around her had no effect on Su Ran whatsoever.

At that moment, all his attention was drawn to the mechanical voice that suddenly popped into his mind.

system?

First mission?

This is……

The cheat system has been awakened!

Three random uses of a golden skill!

That sounds really awesome.

and.

Completing the task will also increase your Go talent by 1 point.

Even a fool knows how to make a choice!

"Accept the mission."

In a flash of inspiration, Su Ran accepted without hesitation.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating the Go simulator. Detecting your current status...]

[Detection successful. Your personal data has been automatically retrieved.]

Name: Su Yuan

[Go talent: 37 (out of 100, current level assessed as: far below average)]

[Go Comprehension Ability: 183 (Maximum is one million, current level assessed as: no comprehension)]

[Current Skills: None]

Current simulation points: 10 (initial bonus)

[The system detects that the host currently has no skills. This simulator will randomly select three skills for you.]

[Skill 1, Reckless Charge: When playing chess, you often only care about immediate gains and losses, without making long-term plans. As a specialist in rapid chess, you can usually put a lot of pressure on your opponents who are not very skilled in a short time. However, your weakness in finishing will leave you struggling when facing skilled opponents. (White, no cost)]

[Skill 2, Unrivaled in the Opening: Your playing style is steady and you excel at opening moves. You often set numerous traps for your opponent from the very beginning. With these clever strategies, you can cause considerable trouble for your opponent in the middle game, often yielding unexpected and wonderful results in the later stages of the game when komi is at stake. (Purple, requires 1000 simulated points)]

[Skill 3, Strategic Retreat: Your playing style is cautious, often feigning weakness at the start of the game, never engaging in direct combat. However, you frequently gain slight advantages through skirmishes and maneuvering... You excel at using the opponent's strength against them, often causing considerable trouble for opponents of similar skill. But when facing a powerful opponent with overwhelming numbers, you lack the means to directly counter them. (Green, consumes 10 simulation points)]

[Please select a skill to start this chess game simulation...]

Three skills, three different strategies for playing the game.

Among these, the best skill is undoubtedly the one marked with a purple box: "Invincible from the start."

Su Ran originally wanted to configure this powerful skill immediately.

But when he glanced at the last line of the text, "Requires 1,000 simulated points," he shook his head helplessly.

no way.

Make bricks without straw.

He's penniless right now, and the only ten simulation points he has were a gift from the system. For now, he can only look at high-level skills marked in purple.

Moreover, given the current situation, "being invincible from the start" may not be his best option.

Although he had never played Go with Hanekawa Tsubasa before, he could tell from the conversations of the other students that this chubby guy was not a master.

Furthermore, the "invincible at the start" strategy is designed for late-game battles; to truly determine a winner, it will likely take hundreds of moves or more.

This undoubtedly contradicts the tasks issued by the system.

To defeat Hanekawa Tsubasa within 100 moves, it seems we should focus on the other two skills.

"Retreating to advance" or "Charging recklessly"?

In terms of skill level, green is clearly superior to white.

However, the "retreating to advance" attribute also means that this skill can only be effective when facing an opponent of similar strength.

Furthermore, by feigning weakness at the start, they were clearly aiming for a comeback in the later stages.

Within a hundred moves, the extent of this skill's effect remains entirely unknown.

the most important is.

Activating this skill will cost ten points!

This is all the wealth I have left. If I use it all now, I'll have to rely on basic skills for a long time to come.
