The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

It's no wonder she didn't know this. In the Go world, the elderly are out of touch with the young and even the professional Go players. They usually play Go just for leisure and entertainment.

Go requires extremely high computational power, instantaneous judgment, decisiveness, and momentum.

These are things that older people don't have, so it's impossible for them to beat younger players... Even an old man like Zhou Quan, who can barely reach amateur third dan, can be number one in a recreational chess hall.

However, in many well-known chess academies, there are quite a few eight or nine-year-old children (amateur strong five) who can usually give you a three-stone handicap.

Ordinary professional candidates can probably get around four sons.

Of course, there are also some retired professional chess players, but they usually stay in chess academies and would never come to this kind of leisure chess hall.

"Alright, now that you've taken the money, hurry up and leave," her grandfather said angrily, sitting next to Xin Yufei, his face showing disgust.

The girl with long, wavy blonde hair tossed her hair and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, grandpas, don't be too angry, take care of yourselves!"

"you!!!"

"Ring ring, clatter!" Before the old folks could get angry, several more figures walked in through the door.

A stunningly beautiful young woman with long, light green hair walked at the front. She wore a dark blue Taoist robe with wide, dark blue sleeves that covered her small hands, and her light green bangs were tied back with a light green ribbon.

Walking at the very front... was Ji Yingting, her pale purple starry eyes slightly narrowed.

"Huh? What a beautiful girl." This time, not only the old man, but also the five students were stunned, and even their breathing paused for a moment.

What's going on... Why are there so many children at the chess hall today? Several elderly people looked puzzled.

It's Sakuraba-nee! She's brought the Go players! The black-haired girl's face lit up with joy, and her two black buns trembled slightly.

Although she didn't recognize the people around Ji Yingting, they should also be candidates staying at the professional Go academy, right?

"Ah, would you like to play chess, sir? It's 10 star coins per hour," Xin Yufei asked, tilting her long black hair in a pretentious manner.

“Ah…yes, it’s the four of us.” A cute girl with long, snow-white hair walked up gently, her bright blue eyes blinking.

Surprisingly, unlike the students who arrived earlier, they were all wearing formal Taoist robes, or rather, chess player uniforms.

The snow-white Taoist robe was gently tugged by a cute girl with long, snow-white hair as she reached into her pocket for her wallet.

"Ah...oh no, I don't think I brought any change. The smallest denomination I have is 100,000 Star Coins..." the girl with long, snow-white hair said in distress.

What?! 100,000 Star Coins!!

The five people who were just about to leave the chess hall were stunned. The lowest denomination was 100,000 star coins. Could this be a young lady from a wealthy family?

"Qiu'er, how can you be so careless!" A slender little hand emerged from the dark blue sleeve, and Ji Yingting, feigning anger, gently patted the white-haired girl's head.

"Um... Sister Sakuraba, I was wrong," Luo Qiu'er immediately lowered her snow-white hair and apologized.

"Ah... I'm sorry, this is our first time at a chess club. We didn't know it was so cheap," Ji Yingting explained.

The black bun-shaped hairpin twitched slightly, and Xin Yufei, understanding the unspoken message, said, "Haha, it's okay, since it's so cheap, I'll just call it free for you."

Hmm? Xin Yufei had barely finished speaking when her grandfather frowned. Strange, this little girl's behavior today is a bit odd. What is she up to?

"Don't have any change? How about we make some for you?" The gray-haired boy finally couldn't help but ask, gritting his teeth. It was their first time at the chess club... they were definitely beginners!

"Coins?" Luo Qiu'er stared at the gray-haired boy not far away with her sapphire blue eyes, tilting her snow-white hair in confusion.

"That's right...you guys can play Go too, right? Want to make a bet? Ten thousand star coins per game!"

He swallowed hard, though a bet of 10,000 star coins per round was far too high for them...

However, the clothes these girls are wearing cost at least hundreds of thousands of star coins, so how could they be short of money?

They must be beginners in Go, probably young ladies who are learning Go because they have nothing better to do.

“Li Le…” the short boy with red mushroom haircut said hesitantly, “Ten thousand star coins…they don’t even earn that much money in total.”

"Don't worry," Li Le patted him on the shoulder.

"No, you can't gamble with them! They're very strong!"

Zhou Quan suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's conversation. He couldn't just stand by and watch these young girls be deceived by them.

Why!?

"Let's gamble!? What's that! It looks so interesting!! I really want to try it!" Suddenly, a little girl with long pink bob haircut jumped out from behind them and said excitedly.

“Sakuraba-nee! Bet with them! Don’t worry… My cousin, who’s an amateur 2nd dan, just taught me a trick a while ago, I’m sure I’ll win!” Hana Shin-nee said loudly, tugging at Ji Sakuraba’s slender arm. She was wearing a cherry blossom-colored Taoist robe.

"Hmm, okay... Anyway, ten thousand star coins don't matter to us." Ji Yingting shook her long, light green hair and gently patted Hua Shenxi's pink head.

"Drama queen, well done," Ji Yingting thought to herself.

"My cousin is an amateur 2-dan?" Zhou Quan shook his head. They were obviously beginners in Go, hopeless...

However, even they themselves didn't care about 10,000 star coins, so why should they meddle in other people's business?

A smug look appeared in Li Le's grey eyes, accompanied by a cunning smile.

"Oh, but this is 5v5, there are only four of you," the girl with curly blonde hair reminded her, licking her dry lips.

These girls all possessed an air of nobility that surpassed her own, and they were all cuter and prettier than she was. She was so jealous that she couldn't wait to torture and kill them.

"It's okay, just count me as one. I know a little about Go. My name is Xin Yufei." The next second, a girl with long black bun hair quietly walked out from the cashier and stood next to Ji Yingting and the others.

"Oh, okay, my name is Chen Feixu." Looking at Xin Yufei who volunteered, the girl with golden curly hair nodded in agreement. After all, what threat could a cashier at a small chess club pose?

Yufei? Watching her increasingly strange and suspicious behavior, Xin Yufei's grandfather frowned in thought. Sure enough... she knows these people, right? What exactly is she up to?

"Then, I'll be the commander. My name is Ji Yingting."

Ji Yingting gently shook her long, cascading green hair and sat down in the spot where Zhou Quan had just been sitting.

"My name is Luo Qiu'er...Nice to meet you."

The cute girl with long, snow-white hair smiled and sat down opposite the boy with a red mushroom-shaped haircut.

"My name is Hua Shenxi, and I'm 12 years old!"

The girl, wearing a pink Taoist robe and a pink pear-shaped hairstyle, sat down in the third seat.

"My name is Xin Yufei," she had already introduced herself, simply repeating her name before sitting down.

As for Xin Yufei's opponent, she was a girl with a black ponytail who looked quite ordinary.

...

The last remaining black-haired girl on Li Le's side had long black twin ponytails, and a faint smile played on her lips.

"Hehe, Li Le arranged me in the Fifth Division just in case and for safety. I'm the only amateur fifth dan among us, so I can't lose no matter who my opponent is," she thought to herself. Even if these girls were pretending to be weak, it wouldn't matter.

But in the next moment, a cute girl with long, flowing orange hair gently sat down opposite her. Her orange eyes glared at her, and she opened her small mouth and said softly in a pitiful voice, "Hello, miss, my name is... Shang Liuliu."

Chapter 249: Demon Blade, Great Avalanche, Great Slant Thousand Changes, Inverted Curtain.

A cute girl with long, flowing orange hair gently sat down opposite her. Her orange eyes glared at her softly, and she opened her small mouth to say in a pitiful voice, "Hello, miss, my name is... Shang Liuliu."

Her long orange hair, like falling maple leaves, draped over Shang Liuliu's shoulders, and gradually, a jade-colored mask covered her face.

Unlike everyone else, her jade-green mask was almost solidified, with countless willow-leaf-shaped patterns densely covering it, making it difficult to see her orange pupils from the outside.

Instantly, five enormous jade-green fox tails swelled out from between her legs, the overlapping tails almost pressed together and curling up to wrap her up.

It was fine when there were two or three tails, but the five jade-green tails were so huge that they could completely envelop Shang Liuliu's body.

…………

"Hmph, chess position..." A bead of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the girl with long black twin ponytails, and she sneered.

As an amateur 5-dan player promoted from the city competition, she has seen more than a dozen game positions, though not many.

Compared to players who have never seen a game before, she naturally wouldn't show too much panic.

Of course... Shang Liu Liu is special.

After the five people sat down, a group of elderly people gathered around to watch the game.

"Alright, let's begin."

Ji Yingting spoke softly, the light green ribbon on her forehead floating gently in the air, and her pale purple starry eyes slowly opened, hidden by her light green bangs.

"Oh, right... wouldn't it be better to stipulate that you can't admit defeat?"

The result of the coin toss: [Ji Yingting plays black, Li Le plays white, and the order of play changes sequentially from the direction of the captain].

The next second, "thud..."

Three neat sounds of pieces being placed rang out, almost as if they were placed in one continuous sound, with a long, lingering echo.

Ji Yingting, Hua Shenxi, and Shang Liuliu, the three players playing black, simultaneously placed their pieces. The two of them placed their pieces on the star point in the upper right corner, while Ji Yingting placed hers on the outside of the star point.

Is he really a beginner...? His placement technique is so standard, there's a strange pattern to it...

Li Le frowned slightly; he had a bad feeling about this. *Thud*.

Soon, all the players with black pieces placed their pieces, and Xin Yufei and Luo Qiu'er, who played white pieces, also raised their right hands.

pat, pat, pat.

The rhythmic sound of pieces being placed echoed continuously. Although there was no timer around the chessboard, they didn't even need to think when facing opponents of this caliber.

"Hmm, amateur fourth dan? It's been a long time since I've encountered such a weak opponent," Ji Yingting thought to herself.

Even the gap between amateur 5-dan players is enormous, let alone between candidates and those at the top of the list. 5-dan candidates who take the professional exam are the pinnacle of the 5-dan level.

Although it might be a little difficult to play against test takers, Ji Yingting's win rate is still 100% so far.

Not to mention... her opponent today is just a lowly fourth dan.

With slender, jade-like hands gently extending from her dark blue sleeves, Ji Yingting slowly moved a black chess piece one position onto the chessboard with a soft click.

Big Flying Cover!

"This..." Li Le was suddenly startled.

This pattern is...

Many elderly people watching the game frowned. They had never seen a standard opening move before and could not possibly recognize Ji Yingting's move.

This is... a huge slant!

Ordinary amateur players simply don't have the extra time to study things outside the goal or in the higher goal, let alone study things like the thousands of variations of the diagonal. At most, they've only heard a little bit about it.
