The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

So... there might be an element of luck in this professional competition. What if all the strong players are grouped together? Of course, all the players who can register are amateur 5-dan.

There are quite a few people who have this wishful thinking, but the fact that the competition venue is set in Yongyue City has puzzled many candidates, as it has always been in Huangyue City or Mingyue City.

Ji Yingting rubbed her long, light green hair while taking a nap with her eyes half-closed. Tomorrow was the day for the draw between Groups A and B... Many of the members participating in this assessment were acquaintances of hers.

There are six spots in total... I'm definitely going to take one. Unless it's an emergency like my period suddenly gushing out, Ji Yingting thinks she has a high chance of winning.

As Ji Yingting slept, a slight smile gradually appeared on her lips, and drool slowly dripped down her cheeks.

"What is Sister Yingting thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily..." Xin Yufei stared speechlessly at the tiny drop of saliva that dripped from the corner of Ji Yingting's mouth, which looked like a bright little pearl.

Wow, Sister Yingting's sleeping face is so cute... Looking at Ji Yingting's long, light green eyebrows and eyelashes, Xin Yufei couldn't help but pinch Ji Yingting's chubby little face with her small hand, *smack*.

The soft flesh was accidentally bounced back, and Ji Yingting's breathing stopped abruptly. Xin Yufei's right hand froze in mid-air, trembling slightly.

“Yufei…you seem to be getting a little bolder these days…” Ji Yingting said softly, her pale purple starry eyes narrowed.

"I...I..." Xin Yufei was a little frightened. She shrank back in fear, and her two black buns trembled a few times.

Grabbing two long, bluish-green strands of hair, Ji Yingting quickly slapped Xin Yufei's cheeks repeatedly.

With her small black head swung like a roly-poly toy, Xin Yufei could only weakly plead, "Waaaaaah, I was wrong, Sister Sakuraba, please stop hitting me..."

*Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap*

Waaaaaahh ...

-----------------------

The only professional Go academy in Yongyue City is located in the city center. A huge oval building surrounds a vast area where all the professional Go players in Yongyue City practice their moves.

However... this place hasn't held a professional examination for many years, perhaps because there are too few amateur 5-dan players in Eigetsu City.

"Sakuraba, are you going straight to the Go Academy? I heard that people can check in today, and there are special accommodations for the players."

Fei Qiluo said that since it was inconvenient for Ji Yingting to stay at home alone anyway, it would be better to send her to the chess academy tonight.

"Okay, no problem, just take me to the chess academy."

Ji Yingting nodded, her long, bluish-green hair swaying. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to get out of bed early the next morning and would miss the lottery for the professional exam.

"Goodbye, Sister Yingting! I'll find time to visit you at the Go academy!" Xin Yufei waved to Ji Yingting from outside the spaceship. At this moment, she was only an amateur fourth dan and was not qualified to take the professional exam.

"Okay, goodbye, Yufei!" Ji Yingting waved her long, light green hair goodbye to Xin Yufei with her small hand. Her light green hair was soft, and although it didn't hurt when she hit someone, it always made her feel sad. Xin Yufei both loved and hated it.

Shaking her black bun hair, Xin Yufei watched Fei Qiluo's spaceship depart...

A few minutes later... she was taken by Fei Qiluo to the chess academy in the center of Yongyue City.

With her long, hip-length, light green hair swaying, Ji Yingting, wearing a thick, snow-white down jacket and carrying a backpack, stepped off the spaceship. The sky outside the window was gradually darkening.

"Speaking of which, I've never been to a professional Go academy in Yongyue City before... I'm so excited!" Two slender jade hands stretched out under the falling snowflakes, and Ji Yingting opened her cherry-like mouth and gently exhaled a breath of icy mist.

"From this moment on... this is my battlefield alone... no acquaintances, only enemies."

Ji Yingting blinked calmly a few times in her pale purple starry eyes, then walked into the professional Go academy with her luggage in both hands.

During the professional exam, all her opponents are her enemies, a fact that Ji Yingting is well aware of, given her past life's experience with professional exams.

Any enemy who dares to stand in her way of becoming a professional chess player will be crushed.

Ji Yingting stuck out her soft little tongue and licked her slightly dry lips. She could feel a huge cat with greenish-blue fur jumping around in her soul. It seemed that she couldn't wait to devour her opponent.

"Be a good kitty, you'll have plenty to eat soon..."

With a slight smile on her lips, Ji Yingting pushed open the door of the professional Go academy with a whoosh.

In that instant, Ji Yingting's pale purple starry eyes suddenly filled with light, transforming from pitch black vision into shimmering golden light.

In that instant... Ji Yingting pushed open the door to her profession.

P.S.: The ratings have dropped quite quickly lately. Is it because the plot has been too bland recently, or is it because the readers haven't been commenting on it lately?

However, it's generally understood that novels on the theme of Go might become a bit tiresome at this word count. Anyway, a new volume has begun, and the comment function has been restored. I hope readers will subscribe more often.

Chapter 153: Players' Dormitory

Ji Yingting stuck out her soft little tongue and licked her slightly dry lips. She could feel a huge cat with greenish-blue fur jumping around in her soul. It seemed that she couldn't wait to devour her opponent.

"Good kitty, you'll have your fill of food soon..." With a slight smile on her lips, Ji Yingting pushed open the door of the professional Go academy.

"But... even if I get inside, I might not know how to find anyone."

Having just finished showing off, she was already at a loss. Ji Yingting stood there awkwardly, after all, the chess academy was really too big.

“Sakuraba… why did you run down there by yourself just now…” Just then, a gentle voice came from behind her.

"Huh?" Ji Yingting turned around, tossing her long, light green hair. Fei Qiluo seemed to have followed her from outside the chess academy, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.

Fei Qiluo touched the back of her pink curly hair and said helplessly, "I was going to stop the spaceship before coming in with you, but you slipped off the ship by yourself... Was it in such a hurry? I thought you wouldn't be able to find your way around by yourself."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Fei Qiluo. Now, please help me find a place." Ji Yingting quietly rubbed her long, light green hair and stuck out her little tongue. She was indeed a little anxious.

"At this time, there should still be staff waiting at the reception desks in each area. Let me take you there."

After she finished speaking, Ji Yingting obediently followed behind Fei Qiluo, afraid that she might accidentally get lost.

"Are you contestants from Yongyue City taking the professional exam?" A girl with black braided hair asked from the reception area on the sofa in the lobby.

“She is…” Fei Qiluo said, looking at Ji Yingting. After she finished speaking, she began to explain some basic precautions to Ji Yingting.

"Well then, Sakuraba, I'll be going now. Good luck on your professional exams..."

"Yes, thank you, Senior Sister Fei Qiluo," Ji Yingting said softly, swaying her long, light green hair.

After Fei Qiluo turned and left, the black-haired girl with the braided hairstyle who had greeted her suddenly looked puzzled. "Have I seen this person somewhere before...?"

"Alright, I'll take you to the residence of the Yongyue City contestant. My name is Liu Qingyun, I'm nineteen years old, and I'm a fifth-dan amateur," the girl with black hair and a ponytail said as they walked. She was much older than she appeared.

"At nineteen, she's almost at the limit for professional exams..." Ji Yingting thought silently, swaying her long, light green hair, as she followed behind Liu Qingyun.

"Hello, sister. My name is Ji Yingting, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm a fifth-dan amateur."

"Ah?? You're Ji Yingting? The one who won all the matches in the provincial competition!?" Liu Qingyun suddenly opened her mouth in surprise. In fact, not only her, but almost all the chess players who participated in the New Moon Provincial Professional Examination knew Ji Yingting.

After all, she's a player who has won ten matches in the provincial competition... If she participates in the professional assessment, she will definitely be a strong competitor.

The girl with the braided hair said with a hint of envy, "There are only seven people from Eigetsu City in this year's professional exam, but Sakuraba, you're sure to bring glory to our city. Nobody really wants to be grouped with you."

"Is that so..." Ji Yingting said in a flat tone, she didn't think this theory made sense.

There was indeed an element of luck involved in this professional exam... but even if there was an element of luck, it was only for the strong, and avoiding the strongest few was a huge advantage for them.

Conversely, for average or below-average players, even if all the weaker players are grouped together, they may not have a chance to become professional players.

To be honest, it's already very difficult for a 19-year-old amateur 5-dan player to go on to become a professional... But as long as there is still hope, most amateur players are still willing to fight for that faint glimmer of light.

After all, whether you're nineteen or twenty, passing the professional exam is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, stepping into the world of professional Go players, and living a worry-free life from then on.

-------------------------------------------------

"Alright...we've arrived at the room. There are six girls in Yongyue City taking the professional exam, while the only boy didn't choose to stay in the special dormitory for the professional exam."

The interior of the professional chess academy was enormous. It took the two of them about five minutes to walk there, Liu Qingyun, the girl with the braided hair, said calmly.

"Oh, oh," Ji Yingting nodded, swaying her long, light green hair. She could roughly guess that the man was Long Chou, since he had already reached amateur fifth dan in the provincial competition, so of course he would have to take the professional exam.

The room's interior features a spacious hall with numerous entertainment facilities, surrounded by about a dozen rooms, all provided for the contestants. Ji Yingting, somewhat dazed, touched her head with long, light green hair after entering the room.

Although she had tried her best to memorize the route... the Go academy for the professional exam was just too big! What would she do if no one took her there tomorrow... had Xiaoyu and the others arrived yet? Ji Yingting rubbed her long, light green hair, looking slightly troubled.

Because Fei Qiluo's spaceship was a private spaceship and couldn't accommodate too many people, Luo Zhuyu and the others ultimately chose to travel to Yongyue City on Ming Haimi's spaceship, and their flight routes were also different.

Liu Qingyun led Ji Yingting to an empty room and then left. There was no one else in the hall; everyone seemed to be holed up in their own rooms… After all, the professional exam lottery was starting tomorrow.

As for Ji Yingting? At most, she could only sense the tense atmosphere... but she wouldn't feel tense herself.

With a stomp of her heels, Ji Yingting kicked off her light blue cloth boots, and her two beautiful legs, encased in white stockings, gently draped over her small bed. The room was quite well-furnished…

After letting her long, light green hair fall loose, she immediately lay down on the comfortable white bed, the strands of her hair cascading down onto the white surface.

Based on her experience with professional exams in her previous life, Ji Yingting clearly understood that most players who participated in professional exams were extremely nervous, which was precisely the state that hindered their performance.

Maintaining a proper level of tension is important, but in the later stages of professional exams, many players find that their chess skills reach their peak when they relax. The tension at the beginning of professional exams can actually make them feel constrained.

Chapter 154: Ye Xiaomi's Advance

In a convenience store in Yongyue City, Crescent Province, a beautiful girl with purple hair and a scorpion braid carrying a shopping bag walked out, and a meaningful "Welcome!" came from behind her.

She frowned slightly. The beautiful girl was wearing a white mink down jacket, which made her look even more pure and holy under the snowflakes.

However... her legs were still bare. Ye Xiaomi didn't seem to like wearing pants and stockings and always preferred to expose her thighs.

She poked her purple-haired sister's head into the packaging bag and took out an extremely gorgeous long package.

Ye Xiaomi stepped into the taxi, blushing slightly as she tore the packaging bag to shreds... She pulled out a large roll of fluffy white stuff with one hand.

Ye Xiaomi held the long, tail-like object in her hand, examining it closely. Clutching the enormous, thick tiger-skin tail, she murmured to herself, her face flushed, "I've tried to buy the smallest size possible. I wonder if I can win over Sakuraba's heart with this?"

The middle-aged female driver sitting in front of her clicked her tongue inwardly, "Tsk tsk, are young girls these days so open-minded? They even dare to buy this size. How many children do they want to get pregnant at once?"

Actually... Ye Xiaomi did buy the wrong size. She only saw the number at the beginning and ignored the unit at the end. She took the very first one. Because her eyes were always so lazy, Ye Xiaomi didn't see the unit of measurement for the tail size, so she bought the largest one.

If Ye Xiaomi had noticed this, she certainly wouldn't have been surprised why the waiter was looking at her so strangely.

Two slender hands barely managed to grasp the enormous tiger tail as Ye Xiaomi, her face flushed, sat in the back of the driver's car, hugging it tightly.

"You can put that away first... It doesn't look good to hold it in your hand. These young girls nowadays, really," the female driver couldn't help but remind Ye Xiaomi. It was really indecent for such a cute young girl to hold such a strange thing in her hand.

"oh oh……"

Reminded by the driver, Ye Xiaomi's face immediately turned bright red and hot. She arrived at the professional chess academy in an awkward atmosphere and walked in with her luggage bag on her back.

After inquiring about the residence of the chess player in Yongyue City, Ye Xiaomi headed there.

Ye Xiaomi's deep purple pupils darted around a few times. Forcing herself on Sakuraba would definitely not work... She would hate herself.

But if I put Sakuraba to sleep first... and then take out the tail... to make it a done deal while Sakuraba is asleep, what a perfect plan.
