Kong Yinzi let out a soft breath: "If some people lose, don't come crying to me."
"I won't cry even if I lose!"
Dongfang Chen made a comment that was both funny and exasperating, then turned and walked towards the competition room.
In the room's camera footage, as Dongfang Chen took his seat, the hall of the Shogi Association and the audience outside instantly became lively.
The TV reporters also quickly got to work.
"Good afternoon, everyone. It is now 1:50 PM on December 15th. This is the headquarters of the Association, the viewing site for the Dragon King Battle."
Now, with the entry of Dongfang Chen, 7th Dan, the atmosphere is electric, and the final Dragon King battle is about to begin...
Audience member 1: "Finally, the long-awaited battle has arrived! A life-or-death battle between fellow disciples!"
Audience member 2: "Yes, it's a decisive battle between the two brightest rising stars in the shogi world. Who will come out on top?"
Audience member 3: "Kiyotaki Kosuke 9-dan's disciples are truly terrifying! Both of them have fought their way through the rounds to reach the final battle. Most importantly, both of them are only 16 years old. Such talent is astonishing! The Go world is about to change!"
Audience member 4: "Compared to this, have you guys placed your bets? Does anyone know who has a better chance of winning? I want to place a bet!"
……
Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the chess room, with only Dongfang Chen, Jiutoulong Yaichi, and a referee, was quite quiet.
Looking at the serious-looking Yaichi Kuzuryu in front of him, Dongfang Chen smiled and said, "Yaichi, relax a little. Being too nervous will affect your performance."
Yaichi Kuzuryu: "Thank you for the reminder, senior! However, I will go all out in this battle, and I ask that you take it seriously as well!"
Dongfang Chen: "Yes, I will. Let me remind you first, a temporary win or loss doesn't represent the whole of life; the future is vast!"
Let's see who's the best on the chessboard!
Nine-Headed Dragon Eight nodded. It seemed that his senior brother, like himself, was full of confidence in himself.
Referee: "Time's up. Please get ready, the match is about to begin."
Reminded by the referee, the two sat up straight. When the referee gave the order, the match officially began. Kuzuryuu Yaichi went first and started with his most proficient tactic, the "mutual hanging" strategy.
The so-called "mutual hanging" strategy emphasizes a defensive, defensive, and defensive approach, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake – a tortoise-shell tactic.
Dongfang Chen had anticipated this. He smiled and said that he was an extreme offensive man and belonged to the motorcycle gang. Vibrating motorcycles and stationary motorcycles were his specialties.
At first, Kuzuryu Yaichi was a little excited. He had studied Dongfang Chen's fighting style for a long time and had even developed a strategy to counter it. He was confident that he could withstand any attack from Dongfang Chen!
However, less than half an hour later, Yaichi Kuzuryu's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat, and he murmured in disbelief, "No, this isn't how it is. Why is this happening?"
Normally, if two equally skilled players are competing, it's common for them to play for several hours. But if a player falls into a disadvantageous position shortly after the start of the game, it can only mean that there is a significant gap in their abilities.
Dongfang Chen said calmly, "Struggle hard. If you can't break through adversity, you're doomed to lose this game."
Dongfang Chen now possesses the strength of a ninth-dan master, a significant improvement over his previous abilities!
Twenty minutes later, both sides had only made a little over a hundred moves, but Kuzuryuu Yaichi was already at a loss for what to do. His hand, holding a piece, was raised above the board, but he hesitated to place it.
Finally, the chess piece slipped from his fingers, his face turned deathly pale, and he bowed slightly to Dongfang Chen, trembling: "I... lost!"
"Thanks for the advice!"
Dongfang Chen nodded calmly.
In the end, Dongfang Chen defeated Kuzuryu Hachiichi in 112 moves, winning the "Dragon King" title and becoming the youngest Dragon King in the history of shogi!
He was promoted to professional 8th dan and won a huge prize of 42 million yen from the Shogi Association!
[Ding! The host has won the Dragon King title and received a prize of 4200 million, laying a solid economic foundation for a carefree life in the future. 1000 Salty Fish Points have been awarded. Salty Fish Points: 1360]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Dongfang Chen, who was being interviewed by a reporter, smiled even more broadly. These were hard-earned Xianyu points!
Chapter 3 Does Senior Sister Yinzi need a warm bed? (Seeking flowers, monthly tickets, and review votes!)
Earning Xianyu points is actually very simple; all Dongfang Chen needs to do is comfortably enjoy life to earn them.
However, the amount you can get each day is not much, and sometimes even if you are busy all day, you can only get a few dozen points.
Therefore, this time, defeating the Dragon King and winning a prize of 4200 million, plus 1000 Xianyu points, can be considered a considerable reward.
After the interview, Dongfang Chen had to have dinner with some friends and capitalists.
Of course, we had to invite Senior Sister Yinzi along. As for Junior Brother Bayi, he seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and went back to the hotel alone, looking dejected.
“I told you that Junior Brother Bayi was no match for me, but you didn’t believe me, Yinzi. But you saw it yourself, Junior Brother Bayi couldn’t even last an hour.”
Around 9 p.m., on his way home, Dongfang Chen said smugly to Kong Yinzi, who was sitting next to him.
Then, he felt a pressure on his feet.
Kong Yinzi stepped on his instep, his face cold: "Add my senior sister to the list! Taking down the Dragon King is indeed a testament to your strength, but we still need to see if you can hold onto it in the future. If you lose the Dragon King you took down this year, it's better not to have taken it at all."
"That's a matter for the future. Besides, taking the Dragon King title back from me won't be that easy!" Dongfang Chen said nonchalantly.
Kong Yinzi's eyes turned slightly cold: "You've gotten too cocky just because you got the Dragon King title, haven't you?"
Feeling the increased pressure on his foot, Dongfang Chen decided it was best not to continue the conversation: "By the way, it's getting late, Senior Sister, are you coming to stay at my place tonight?"
Kong Yinzi glared at him again: "Pervert, what disgusting things are you thinking about?"
Dongfang Chen: "No, no, don't you know how pure my junior brother is?"
……
It was past 10 p.m. when Dongfang Chen and Kong Yinzi returned to Qingmu Apartment.
As I was going up the stairs, I ran into a neighbor. She was of just the right height and was wearing a white coat, which couldn't hide her stunning figure.
Her long, black hair was tied into two pigtails, and she wore red-rimmed glasses. Although her outfit looked a bit old-fashioned, a closer look revealed that she was definitely a beauty.
As for why he said that, it's because Dongfang Chen had seen her dressed up in formal attire more than once; she was definitely a stunning beauty.
Of course, regardless of whether the other person is a beauty or not, as a neighbor, Dongfang Chen would always greet her warmly: "Hey, good evening, Ms. Mizuhara, it must have been another hard day!"
"Yes, Dongfang-kun has worked hard too." Mizuhara Chizuru nodded lightly.
Dongfang Chen: "Let me introduce you to each other. This is my senior, Sora Ginko, an idol in the shogi world known as 'Naniwa Shirayuki-hime'. Senior, this is Ms. Mizuhara Chizuru, who lives next door in apartment 205. She is a university student."
Mizuhara Chizuru looked at Sora Ginko with some surprise. She had bumped into her once or twice before at Dongfang Chen's doorstep, but she didn't recognize her and thought she was a girl Dongfang Chen had found to help her...
"Hello, Miss Kong, I'm Mizuhara Chizuru. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Mizuhara Chizuru chose to be polite. Judging from Dongfang Chen's introduction, he seemed to be someone of considerable importance.
"Hello. It's getting late, so I won't take up any more of your time, Miss Mizuhara."
Sora Ginko simply nodded, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes as she looked at Mizuhara Chizuru in front of her, before glaring at Dongfang Chen.
The three entered the house one after another, and of course, Kong Yinzi followed Dongfang Chen into the house.
Dongfang Chen: "Senior Sister Yinzi, why don't you take a shower to warm yourself up? It's still quite cold. Your change of clothes are still in the locker I gave you before."
Sora's expression turned slightly cold: "You didn't do anything strange to my clothes, did you?"
"What can I do about a few sets of clothes? Don't think that just because you're a senior sister you can slander my innocence," Dongfang Chen said indignantly.
Although he is still a teenager and occasionally has lewd thoughts, he would never go so far as to touch a few pieces of fabric; he still has a lot of integrity.
Kong Yinzi rolled her eyes at him, then went to check the wardrobe herself. The clothes inside were still sealed in bags by her before, showing no signs of being touched.
Before entering the bathroom, Sora Ginko glanced at Dongfang Chen, who was already curled up in the kotatsu playing on his phone. She figured there wouldn't be any problems, so she went into the bathroom...
Dongfang Chen heard the bathroom door close, glanced up, and continued playing on his phone.
As for spying?
Dongfang Chen absolutely doesn't need to do anything. Sooner or later, he'll be able to watch openly and honestly, so he shouldn't do anything that would lower his image.
After they both finished washing up, Dongfang Chen looked at Kong Yinzi and said, "Senior Sister Yinzi, do you need someone to warm your bed? I think I can."
Kong Yinzi said coldly, "If you want to spend the night outside, you can try."
"Then forget it. I'll sleep in the kotatsu, and the bed is for my senior sister."
Half an hour later, in the dimly lit room, Kong Yinzi lay on her side on the bed, looking at Dongfang Chen who was already asleep by the kotatsu, and muttered softly, "Idiot!"
……
December 24th, Saturday, 10 AM.
Aoki Apartment, Dongfang Chen's rented room.
More than a week has passed since Dongfang Chen won the title of "Dragon King".
Outside, the cold wind howled and snowflakes drifted down. He was happily huddled inside the kotatsu, eating fruit and snacks and reading comics, feeling incredibly comfortable.
[Ding! The host is enjoying life in a pleasant mood and has gained 50 Salty Fish Points. Salty Fish Points: 2140]
"Boom boom boom!"
There was another knock on his door. Dongfang Chen lazily called out, "Who is it?"
My senior sister's familiar voice came through: "Me, open the door quickly, it's very cold outside."
Dongfang Chen slowly got up and went to open the door. However, besides Kong Yinzi at the front, there were two other people in front of him.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi: "I apologize, Senior Brother Chen, for my intrusion in visiting you."
Machi, the cook: "Good morning, Higashi-kun. This time, Konata brought over top-grade Wagyu beef and tuna!"
As she spoke, she waved the bag in her hand.
Dongfang Chen nodded: "They're all good stuff."
