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

He wasn't some naive, innocent boy who had never seen the world, but the problem was, his current body simply didn't allow him to have a real friendly match!

What could he do to stop himself from suffering?

The only thing to do is to escape Sister Mitani's pursuit as quickly as possible!

"Haha, this kid is so easy to tease."

Yuko Mitani smiled and handed Su Ran a glass of cola, saying:

"As usual, children can't play after midnight."

Ah!

Su Ran nodded without daring to look up, frantically groping around on the computer, almost unable to find the power button.

There's nothing I can do, I don't know what brand of perfume Mitani-nee wore today, but it keeps getting into my head.

I just can't take it anymore!

"Haha, okay, I'm just teasing you. Have fun."

Yuko Mitani happily slid back to the bar in her high heels, giving Su Ran a flirtatious wink before leaving.

This frightened Su Ran so much that she repeatedly recited the Great Compassion Mantra.

I'm depreesed!

This is so tragic!

Subconsciously glancing at her little bird, Su Ran felt for the first time that time travel was just too mind-bending!

"Hey, have you heard? Last weekend, a terrifyingly skilled player suddenly emerged in the online chess world. It's said that he achieved an eight-game winning streak in less than one night!"

"Ah, you mean THESAI? He does seem pretty strong."

"What do you mean by 'seems like'? The opponents he defeated were all professional-level Go players. It's no exaggeration to say that there are already plenty of top players online who spend all their time on the official Go website, just waiting to take down THESAI!"

"Is that so? No wonder THESAI hasn't shown up for a week. It seems he's scared!"

"That's right. That guy's IP address clearly shows that he's from Yingzhou, but his profile says he's from China... I wonder if he's deliberately trying to provoke us."

"People from China? That's unlikely, isn't it? Although Go originated there, it seems they don't have many truly skilled players back then, do they?"

"Hehe, you must have forgotten Mr. Su Yuan, right? He's a top-tier Go player who even Meijin Touya found difficult to handle!"

"Su Yuan? Wasn't he already hospitalized? How could he be playing chess online?"

"That's hard to say... In my opinion, this THESAI might actually be Mr. Su Yuan."

……

Listening to the discussions around her, Su Ran suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Oops.

Did I really humiliate those Taiwanese people online last time? So much so that they actually sent a bunch of experts to ambush me online...

This.

So what if I beat a few professional first-dan players like you?

Isn't that unnecessary?

Although Su Ran knew that the people of Yingzhou were very competitive, he obviously did not expect that they would send an expert to ambush him.

This is getting complicated...

Looking at the Go website that she had already logged into, Su Ran suddenly felt it wasn't so appealing anymore.

I just wanted to find a few amateur beginners to practice with, was I wrong?

Why is the whole of Yingzhou targeting me?

but.

Perhaps these people are just exaggerating. People from Yingzhou shouldn't be so petty... right?

I hesitated for a moment before clicking the match button.

next moment.

As the match confirmation message arrived, a highly unfriendly comment also caught Su Ran's eye:

"Arrogant Chinese, I've finally waited for you... Prepare for judgment!"

The sender's details were also displayed prominently under this message on Su Ran's screen.

[ID: China Sniper]

[Rank: Power of Teasing, Rank 3!]

Uh, sorry, I made a mistake.

Come again.

[ID: China Sniper]

[Rank: Amateur 3rd Dan!]

Ah, this...

Is this the expert sent by Yingzhou to ambush me?

That's it?

Are we going to face trial?

This is clearly a victim!

Su Ran smiled inwardly and immediately clicked the "agree" button, thus beginning the trial—no, the match.

……

Chapter 42 At this moment... just like that moment back then?

"Look everyone, THESAI is online!"

"Oh my god! After waiting for a whole week, he finally reappeared."

Just as Su Ran accepted the match.

The online forum of the World Go Network was instantly abuzz with countless chat messages.

"Look, THESAI seems to have been matched with an opponent!"

"Really? So fast?"

"Sigh, that guy is too lucky. So many people ambushed THESAI, yet he managed to get there first... Can we see how strong he is?"

"It's over! THESAI's first opponent is just a novice amateur third dan. There's no fun to be had now."

"Amateur third dan? Baka! How dare someone with that level challenge THESAI? Isn't this just deliberately embarrassing Yingzhou?"

"What a pity. I heard that even Kobayashi 8-dan personally appeared on the World Go Network during this period to try and contain THESAI. I never thought that with so many top players targeting him, a newbie would get the first move..."

"Kobayashi, 8th Dan, is here too? This... is impossible, right? He's one of the top 20 masters in Yingzhou. Does he really need such a big fuss to snipe a young man from China?"

Just as netizens were discussing it.

Su Ran had finished the coin toss and was now playing black, making his first move.

Given that his opponent was only an amateur third dan, Su Ran did not choose to turn on the simulator, but decided to use his real skill level to complete the match.

He was also eager to know what rank he was at with his current skill level.

"clatter."

With many netizens watching, Black's first move landed on the sixteenth row, fourth column, star position.

"star?"

On the other end of the computer.

An elderly man in a kimono frowned slightly upon seeing the chess moves.

"Interesting, this child. His first move was such an ancient opening pattern. Judging from this aggressive style of play, he is indeed a player from China..."

"If I remember correctly, this move should be a common fighting tactic used during the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"Let me think, what's this formula called in China again?"

"It seems... to be called 'Hanging Lotus'? Hmm, that should be the name."

The old man only glanced at it before immediately determining Su Ran's starting stance.

Obviously.

His chess skills are definitely not as simple as the information says, that he is only an amateur third dan!

"Mr. Lin, why are you playing chess online again? I've told you so many times that your current health condition means you can't do such stressful things anymore... Why do you always disobey me?"

Just as the old man was about to respond to Su Ran's star attack, suddenly, the door to his residence was pushed open by a young woman in a pink nurse's uniform.

The nurse, upon seeing the old man playing chess online, immediately puffed out her cheeks and began to complain to him.

"Hehe, this is the only hobby I have left. Miss Masako, is it really necessary to be so strict with this old man?"

The old man placed the chess piece on the 6th of 17 without even looking up.

A casual flick of the wrist.

They then steadily drew with the black pieces, creating a stalemate.

"what?"

On the other end of the computer.

Su Ran was surprised to see that the opponent had given the best solution so quickly.

Xiao Fei responded so quickly!

and.

His choice was exactly the same as the answer Akira Touya gave after long deliberation. This...

Is it just a coincidence?
