My girlfriend is a lady

It is said that the entire Chinese Chess Academy has been mobilized because of this guy!

"Do you have any water? Or cash to lend me some."

After thinking for a while, Rem pointed at Hanzawa's shoulder bag.

Rem's following today was purely accidental. She didn't bring her wallet when she came out. She followed me all the way, and she had no money to buy water, so her throat was about to smoke.

"There's water. Do you want some?" Hanzawa nodded and took out a bottle of Nongfu Spring that he had already drunk from his backpack.

Rem didn't think much and just unscrewed the cap and drank it all. She was so thirsty!

Hanzawa was about to say something, but he opened his mouth and closed it again.

The extremely sweet mineral water poured into Rem's body...a feeling of being alive again began to fill her whole body.

But after drinking all the water, when Rem's brain started working normally, she immediately realized her recklessness!

She just poured the water from the bottle in a moment of desperation... Isn't this drinking someone else's saliva a disguised form of kissing?

Looking at Hanze's smiling face, his face suddenly turned red! I'm afraid this is why the bastard hesitated to speak just now.

"Why didn't you remind me!"

"Remind you of what?" Hanzawa Naoki pretended to be crazy with a smile on his face!

"You take advantage of me!"

"You are my girlfriend. How can I take advantage of you if I drink the water I drink?"

"you!"

The girl's face became more and more rosy.

"Little girl, you... you can't argue with me, so let me talk about you. Why are you following your sister? Sneaking around all the way?"

Naoki Hanzawa changes the subject!

Rem realized that the other party was trying to give her a way out. She paused and said in a deep voice, "My sister seems to be in love, but she didn't tell me who it is. I'm worried that she has been deceived, so I have to find out! This matter is related to my sister's lifelong happiness..."

Hanzawa was silent. This Rem was different from the Rem he had imagined. Why did she seem a bit gossipy?

My sister is in love, but she still wants to investigate her brother-in-law?

Are we still Japanese? We agreed to have at least three relationships during adolescence.

Hanze advised: "I think you can't be too strict, after all, this is your sister's personal matter. If she knew you were following her, I'm afraid..."

Rem shook her head. "That's different. I know all the boys my sister has dated. They're not very reliable." She frowned. "Since we know they're unreliable, we can't push them into trouble. My mother's health isn't very good right now. We sisters must support each other."

Hanzawa Naoki nodded and basically understood why the other party did that.

Of course, understanding does not mean support. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Sai reminding him.

"Naoki, that girl Naoki is out again, with a boy by her side. Hmm, is it him!? Sakuragi Karen!"

Two chapters are released in a row, please recommend and collect!

Chapter 97 Before the Qualifiers

Chapter 97 98. Before the Preliminary Round

In the end, Naoki Hanzawa did not continue to track Ram with Rem. On the one hand, it was because he knew that he did not have Rem's tracking skills like a civet cat. On the other hand, Hanzawa learned from Sai that the person who had a tryst with Ram was Sakuragi Karen.

Hearing this name, anyone who has been into the 2D world for a long time can roughly guess who this person is?

Yes, you guessed it right.

This gentleman is none other than the son of the original body's godfather Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and his wife Akagi Haruko had this baby when they were 18 years old.

She is now the same age as Hanzawa Naoki. According to her original diary, Sakuragi Karen is an even crazier basketball fan than Hanzawa Naoki.

His mission is to work hard on his body every day and win more NBA championships than his father.

One of his mottos is "Have you ever seen Utah at 4 a.m."

So every time the original body and this Sakuragi Karen meet, there are probably two results.

Result 1: He was taught a lesson by the opponent using basketball and started to doubt his life.

Result 2: The opponent forced him to sweat on the basketball court.

Since the records in the diary are just words, they fully reveal the original person's speechlessness and fear towards this person.

Hanzawa thought it would be better to stay as far away from Sakuragi Karen as possible.

Not to mention that the original owner was quite familiar with Sakuragi Karen, would it be exposed if he talked to her?

The most annoying thing is the other side's crazy attitude towards basketball.

If Sakuragi Karen caught this, it would be impossible for him not to be forced to practice basketball for three or four hours.

Therefore, he decided to quit while he was ahead. After giving Rem 200 yuan as financial assistance, Hanzawa decisively and low-key withdrew from the stalking trip and returned to his hotel.

After the routine Go training and problem-solving exercises, it was Tuesday.

There is only one day left until this year's "Tengda Cup" qualifiers are about to start.

As of this year, the "Tengda Cup" is already its tenth. Since Tengda is a Sino-Japanese joint venture, Yidu Group holds a 21% stake in it.

So this competition is called the Little Yidu Cup.

However, although it is called the Xiao Yidu Cup, its prize money ranks first among all Go competitions!

The champion prize is 100 million US dollars, which is exactly twice as much as the second-ranked Yingshi Cup!

However, in this competition, Japanese chess players have always performed poorly.

In the first ten competitions, except for the runner-up in the 7th, 8th and 9th competitions which were won by Japanese chess player Toya Ryo, the top eight in other competitions were all occupied by Korean and Chinese chess players without exception.

As for the championship, it was all won by Koreans!

Yes, you read that right.

All of them were taken by Koreans!

Even for China, the best result is runner-up.

It was won by Gu Dali, the current leader of Chinese Go, two years ago.

In the other competitions, all the victories were won by Koreans.

In the first few years, Lee Chang-ho won four consecutive championships, and in the last few years, Lee Chang-ho, Lee Sedol, and Ko Young-ha took turns winning.

Among the previous competitions, the one that impressed Japanese chess fans the most, or made everyone feel the most regretful, was the final of the previous Tenda Cup.

The two finals were fought between Japanese player Ryo Toya, 9th dan, and Korean player Lee Sedol, 9th dan.

When we first saw this final match, almost no one was optimistic about Toya Ryo.

After all, Toya Ryo is famous for only winning runner-up but not championship in international competitions, and his own ability is also restrained by Lee Sedol's style of play.

In the last competition, Toya Ryo showed great fighting power with high morale - in hindsight, this was also considered by the Japanese media to be the game in which Toya Ryo was most likely to win the championship.

The match was a five-game match. In the first three games, Toya Ryo was leading 2-1. Not only was he ahead in the score, but also from the content of the chess, Toya Ryo played very fully.

But the Korean team found a solution after the setbacks in the first three games, and won the last two finals in a row.

This made a Korean chess player win another championship in this cup.

It is worth emphasizing that these days Korean chess players occupy a very strong position in the international chess world.

Except for the world's second-ranked Chinese chess player Gu Dali.

The top seven in the world are all Korean players!

As Lee Chang-ho gets older, the new generation of Korean players is also very strong.

Koreans call it the "Lee Gao era" and completely ignore Gu Dali.

I remember that this person, Hanzawa, was the top chess player of the Korean Chess Institute in "Hikaru no Go". He won against Shindo Hikaru by half a point with white in the Beidou Cup tournament.

In this world, after 2005, the world Go championship has basically been monopolized by these two people and Gu Dali in turn.

Of course, these people currently have no direct relationship with Hanzawa Naoki.

Hanzawa Naoki is only participating in the preliminaries now, and the seeded players can directly participate in the main competition in July, which is the top 16!

Since there were no strong opponents, Hanzawa's initial plan was to review while competing. Anyway, the rules of the competition did not restrict contestants from doing exercises while playing chess.

As long as Chu Ying and Zuo Wei don't underestimate the enemy, it will be fine.

He is the human arm.

Tool man!

Because it was just a qualifying round, the organizer did not hold an opening ceremony on Tuesday afternoon. The players did not even have to draw lots themselves. All group arrangements were handled by the organizer.

Except for the three women's groups, all the more than 200 male chess players who registered for the competition were randomly mixed by computers. There were no seeded players, nor was there any emphasis on players of the same nationality avoiding meeting each other in advance.

Unlike other players on the Japanese team, Naoki Hanzawa does not stay in the same hotel as the team.

Separate accommodation and separate flights.

Therefore, there are dedicated people to report the specific details of the competition.

On Tuesday afternoon, when all the arrangements for the group matches were completed, Ogata, the deputy head of the Japanese delegation and head coach of the national youth team, personally visited Hanzawa Naoki.

The other party was found by Hanzawa Naoki through his cheap dad's connections. Originally, Hanzawa had told him on WeChat that he could just send the schedule to his mobile phone.

But I don’t know if this supporting role in Hikaru no Go was too idle or what, he came over in person to deliver the paper battle list.

He also expressed his desire to analyze his players in this qualifying round with Hanzawa.

Hanzawa had no choice but to be polite to the other party, but it was not entirely a bad thing for Ogata to come in person.

At the very least, Hanzawa could ask him personally about some of the details of the preliminaries and avoid unnecessary trouble.

According to the competition rules, Hanzawa is in Group B this time.

There are 32 players in this group. In other words, they must win five consecutive games to get first place in the group and officially enter the "main tournament" of this year's Samsung Cup.

Hanzawa's first opponent was a Korean named Lee Young-seok. Compared with him, Hanzawa Naoki paid attention to the situation of other players in the group. He focused on two things: one was to see if there were other Chinese players in the same group as him, and the other was to see which well-known foreign players were in the group.

After reading it all, Hanzawa Naoki shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Bad fate!

This is definitely a bad fate.

Hanzawa discovered that there were only three Japanese players in his group, and the rest were Korean and Chinese players.

Sadly, he knew two of these Chinese players.

One is called Ke Jie, and the other is called Shi Guang.

Needless to say, Ke Jie was the future Go overlord in Hanzawa's previous life in the world.

Although Ke Jie's dominant position has been shaken by South Korea's Shin Jin-seo in 2025, his title of the strongest chess player in the world is not an exaggeration!

As for time, it cannot be ignored.

This guy is Chu Ying’s original wife.

But then again, Chu Ying is gone, so how did Shi Guang get on the road of Go? Or is it that this Shi Guang just happened to have the same name as Shi Guang in the TV series?

Banze thought with evil interest and couldn't help but imagine what the scene would be like if Chu Ying and Shi Guang played chess now.

After listening to Ogata's chatter, Ogata Seiji specifically analyzed the first opponent with Hanzawa Naoki.

Hanzawa Naoki didn't want to listen at first, but Chu Ying and Sai, who were actually competing on the side, were extremely excited and kept urging Hanzawa to find out about the enemy's situation.

After listening to Ogata's nagging for another half an hour, he patted Hanzawa Naoki's shoulder affectionately, encouraged him to "play well" tomorrow, and finally explained a special detail:

The game will officially start at 10 am tomorrow. Remember not to be late. If you are late for the game, your game time will be deducted. The longer you are late, the double time will be deducted. If you are late for half an hour, you will be directly judged as the loser. "

After explaining the details clearly, Ogata said goodbye to Hanzawa Naoki.

Before leaving, the other side invited Hanzawa to the Japanese team's hotel for a group training session.

Needless to say, Hanze refused again.

After seeing off Ogata Seiji, Hanzawa began to host the first Saku Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament.

Best of three games, the winner can play against Lee Yong-seok tomorrow!
