[Soul of Chess] What if

"Sister Sangu, good afternoon!"

After pushing open the glass door, seeing Sangu's sister standing in the cabinet, Ah Guang greeted her with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Shindo-kun." Elder sister Mitani also responded with a smile.

"Are you in the lobby today, or...?"

Hearing Sangu's sister's question, Ah Guang hesitated for a while, and finally replied with some helplessness: "Well... I'd better go to the single room today."

Although in this case, you have to pay some fees, but this is helpless.

After all, if Taya meets him again, it will be hard to explain...(ー_ー)!!

On that day, as soon as Ah Guang logged on to the World Weiqi website, he received a message that the signature was Qiyuan.

In the letter from the Chess Institute, there were a lot of written words, such as "I heard that Your Excellency is famous", "I hope to receive advice", etc. Ah Guang's eyes almost turned into mosquito coils.To put it simply, it is actually a challenge letter written to Sai, that is, Zuowei.

Ah Guang remembered that in the past few days it seemed that after every game, no matter who the opponent was, the opponent would send some words of encouragement:

"Master Chess God, please come on!"

"Please be victorious!"

"Master Sai, we will always support you! Come on!"

……

and so on.

Now I have received a letter from Qiyuan again.

What is the situation?

Aguang and Zuowei looked at each other, then searched the word "Qiyuan" in the browser, and boarded the website of Qiyuan.

As soon as the page was opened, I saw a message scrolling on the most conspicuous part of the website, which read "Professional Chess Player VS Sai, where is Shirahoshi going?".

Because the name sai appeared on it, A Guang clicked in to have a look out of curiosity.

It turned out that this was a notification announcement for a big game.However, the opponent of the game is none other than the account that Zuowei uses on the Internet—sai.

The location of the organizer of this competition is filled with "Nippon Ki-in", that is to say, this event is organized by Ki-in, so it should be regarded as a relatively formal competition.

The scale of the competition looks grand.In the column of sponsorship alone, there are a lot of names of companies listed, such as NTTDoCoMo Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Mitsui Credit Card Co., Ltd., Daiwa Securities Group Co., Ltd.... It is dazzling.

In addition, Nihon Keizai Shimbun Co., Ltd., Japan Airlines Co., Ltd., and Hankyu Hanshin Hotel Group Co., Ltd. all participated in this event.

The news also announced the time of the event, the chess players playing, the form of the battle, and so on.

However, what Aguang pays most attention to is the bonus column... ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ

"The first winner of Sai will receive a prize... 100 million?!" Ah Guang couldn't help but exclaimed a little.

That's 100 million!With that money, let alone a limited edition game cartridge, you can even buy a computer!

It's a pity that I can't participate... Sigh... ╥﹏╥

Aguang moved the mouse to look through the past news, and then found a lot of recruitment information about the event.

It turns out that the Chess Academy started organizing this event more than a week ago.I didn't expect that even the people in Qiyuan noticed Zuo Wei~*^____^*

In addition to event-related news, there is also a lot of organized information about sai on the website.

Just when the two of them were lying in front of the computer and flipping through other related news on the page with relish, Ah Guang's body was suddenly pulled away!

Ah Guang was taken aback, he turned his head abruptly, only to find that it was Taya.

"Ta... Taya?"

After seeing the person who came, Ah Guang became even more confused while being frightened.

What's happening here?

How did Taya come here?

And it looks eager?

"Is he your friend?" Taya's movement startled everyone in the store, so Sister Sangu came over and asked.

"Ah... um."

Ah Guang looked around and saw that everyone was surfing the Internet quietly.So while pushing Taya, who looked a bit astonished, to the outside, he said apologetically to Sister Sangu, "I'm sorry, I'll go out for a while."

"Yeah." Sister Sangu nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Taya, why are you here?"

After walking out of the Internet cafe, Ah Guang looked at Taya in puzzlement.He rubbed his chest and couldn't help complaining, "You scared me to death just now!"

Taya's expression became a little embarrassed for a moment, but soon his expression returned to normal: "I heard that you are here."

It is said that?Who will see themselves?

Although Ah Guang was a little puzzled, the most important thing now was: "What do you want me to do?"

"Have you ever played chess online?" Ta Ya looked at Ah Guang and said in a deep voice.

Judging from Taya's tone, it seems that she is doubting something...

Just in case, or...

"No, what's the matter?" Ah Guang tried his best to pretend to be genuinely puzzled.

"But you know." Taya's serious eyes still stopped on Ah Guang.

Aguang hurriedly searched for a suitable explanation in his mind: "Well, I heard from Tsutsui-senpai... ah, that's what the president of our Go Club said."

I'm sorry, Tsutsui-san!However, you will definitely explain me... Q_Q

"... There is a very powerful player... His name is Sai, and I also played against him a week ago." After a moment of silence, Taya looked at A Guang and said slowly.

"Huh?!⊙▽⊙"

Ah Guang was really surprised this time.

Because he never had the impression of playing chess with Taya!

Ah Guang secretly looked at Zuo Wei at the side, but found that Zuo Wei also looked confused.

After regaining his senses, seeing Taya staring at him sharply, Aguang hurriedly looked for a reasonable explanation for his gaffe just now: "Ah... that, didn't it mean that it was difficult to play chess with Sai? What's the matter with queuing up to grab the serial number? Of...you shouldn't be doing the same, right?"

Although I don't know why Taya doubted himself, the most important thing now is to separate himself from Sai.

"No, I used someone else's number." Taya didn't hide anything.

"Someone else's..."

Ah Guang murmured and repeated in order to delay time, while asking Zuo Wei in his heart: Zuo Wei, do you have any clues?

Hmm... I guess it was the chess match a week ago.

Huh? !

Feeling Aguang's confusion, Zuowei explained: Aguang, do you remember?We discussed it after that game.

Ah Guang thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was such a thing.

After a chess game a week ago, Zuo Wei suddenly said: "The person who just played chess... should not be the same person as last time."

"What?" Ah Guang looked at Zuo Wei in bewilderment.

"Ah Guang may not remember, but I have an impression of that name. We should have played against him before. However, during this game, I felt that his chess strength and style of chess have changed a lot."

Ah Guang immediately became happy after hearing this: "This person should be in the same situation as that zelda~(*≧▽≦)"

"I think so." Zuo Wei nodded affirmatively.

Both Ah Guang and Zuo Wei just regarded that incident as an episode and didn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, the opponent in that game turned out to be Taya? !

broken!Taya probably discovered something from that match! ! Σ(°△°|||)︴

Finding that Taya was still staring at him closely, Ah Guang held back the waterfall sweat in his heart, and exclaimed pretending to be envious: "That's great, it turns out that Taya you have already played chess with that person~ I have never played chess with that person before." Those who played chess with Sai..."

"Uh..." Taya seemed a little unsure how to respond.

Seeing that it seems to be effective, Ah Guang continued: "Just now I saw the news about Sai from the website of the Chess Academy, and the description of that person was exaggerated, what has never been defeated by anyone, no one knows Sai’s information or something. If this is true, I really want to play a game of chess with that person~ Although I will definitely lose badly..."

"However, I heard that tens of thousands of people will participate every time they grab the serial number to play against Sai. I may never be able to play against that person..."

Speaking of this, Ah Guang is really a little sad.

100...

Such a large sum of money, but I can only look at what I can't take...

Ah, just thinking about it makes me sad...

Although Taya still had some doubts, her expression was no longer as solemn as before.

He hesitated for a moment, and then asked Ah Guang: "What... are you doing here?"

"Ah..." Ah Guang was running his mind quickly, "The college student test is about to start, but I don't know anything about those things, so I thought of coming here to check the information."

Maybe he believed Ah Guang's words, or maybe he realized that even if he kept asking, he would not know the truth. In short, he didn't entangle Ah Guang about Sai anymore.

Taya reluctantly responded a few times when Ah Guang was rambling and changing the subject, and then left.

Seeing that the crisis was lifted, Ah Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Ah Guang also knew in his heart that although it seemed that he barely passed the test this time, if one day when he was playing chess under the name Sai and was accidentally bumped into by someone, he would be in big trouble...(;[-]_[-])

How can I help Zuowei play chess without worrying about being discovered by others...

After asking Sister Sangu, Ah Guang knew that there are various rooms in the Internet cafe that can meet the different needs of customers, and can well protect the privacy of customers.

But if that's the case, sister Sangu won't be able to let Ah Guang surf the Internet for free...

So Ah Guang is still surfing the Internet in the hall for the time being.It's just that he will pay attention to choosing some locations that are more convenient to pay attention to the surrounding environment.

Starting from September [-]st, the day before each game, the homepage of the Chess Academy will announce the basic information of the chess players who are about to appear.

At the beginning, Ah Guang was able to place the chess pieces while paying attention to the surrounding situation.But as the opponent's chess strength improved, Ah Guang began to struggle.

In particular, the players who came to challenge recently are all chess players who have entered the title battle challenge for many times. The aura they exude during the game is not at the same level as the previous chess players.In such an atmosphere, Ah Guang's spirit was also highly tense, and he couldn't pay attention to his surroundings at all.

Facing such a strong opponent, if you make a mistake, the situation will be critical, and you may even lose the whole game.

In order to let Zuo Wei go all out, Ah Guang gritted his teeth and started to play Internet Go in the single room.

Cough, in addition to the above reasons, there is another point that if Zuo Wei wins, then the opponent will not get the bonus.

You know, the bonus has now been increased to 1000 million! !

With the mentality of sharing hardships, Ah Guang decided that he must do his best to ensure Zuowei's victory and never let anyone get that bonus, eh! (v＾＾＾)v
