Full-time comic artist

During this period, Kishimoto could not foresee how long it would take.

"Sigh." He closed the comic magazine and let out a long sigh.

……

On Monday, Yamamura Morimichi was looking at a manga magazine.

He certainly couldn't let go of the follow-up content of "Hikaru no Go".

The previous short story, "Hikaru no Go," moved him deeply for a long time.

"While retaining the style of the original work, 'The Great Revolution of Go' also offers a lot of freshness." Yamamura remarked, having just climbed out of the abyss, he now sees Tori Akino's new creation.

However, instead of feeling discouraged, he became even more motivated.

This episode, naturally, is about the online Go game between "Master" and "Hikaru Shindo".

The game began, watched by chess players worldwide.

During the setup phase, Kondo Hikaru used a modified version of Shusaku's style.

Behind him, Sai appeared out of thin air, and with a choice made with his fingertips, Sai's folding fan landed on the same spot on the chessboard.

"Is that you, Sai?"

Kondo Hikaru's eyes shone brightly as he watched "Master" make his move.

The "Master" piece is placed in the upper right corner of the board.

"Point 33!"

"Huh? You're going for a 3-3 right from the start?" Xiao Guang was taken aback. Then he looked disappointed.

He realized that "Master" couldn't possibly be Sai.

This strange way of playing is neither from the past nor from the present style, so it couldn't be Sai.

He started to fall listlessly.

The opponent's move is made from the challenger's perspective.

Because opening with a 3-3 position is a cowardly move, only occupying one corner and giving up a wider space.

“This is ‘Master’?” Akira Touya also stood up; the outcome of this game was already quite obvious.

But as the scheme unfolded, Hikaru Shindo's expression grew increasingly serious.

His initial idea was wrong.

"Master" displays its brilliance.

After the opening moves were completed, Hikaru Shindo realized that his opponent was absolutely flawless. Although his moves were extremely cautious, they were very steady.

The other party's computing speed and deductive ability are far superior to his.

It was like a robot, without any emotion.

Moreover, due to the initial advantage of 3-3, "Master" is more efficient than him.

In the final stages, Hikaru Shindo calculated for a moment, and then he lost...

So I pressed the surrender button.

At this moment, how similar he is to Touya Kouhiro!

Years ago, Kouhiro Touya lost to "sai" online, and now, he has lost to "Master".

Hikaru Shindo was not discouraged. He breathed a sigh of relief and saw a broader future behind Go.

……

"The protagonist lost right from the start?"

As the intense game came to an end, Yamamura Morimichi became displeased.

Just like in Dragon Ball, just when Goku was invincible on Earth, the Saiyans arrived.

Hikaru Shindo lost to the others at the start.

What Yamamura really wanted to see was a storyline where Hikaru Shindo was invincible.

This style of building suspense before praise, while understandable, left Yamamura Morimichi feeling uneasy and uncomfortable watching it.

“Hikaru Shindo at 30 years old should be the peak of his life.”

A 30-year-old Go player is considered a mid-level player in Japan.

Those aged 50 and 60 are even more numerous.

Therefore, Yamamura also fully agrees with Hibiki Higashino's creation of Hikaru Shindo as the pinnacle of his character.

"A major transformation?" Shancun was taken aback. He suddenly thought of the title of the short story.

"Are these strange and unusual moves the key to a major revolution in Go?"

Therefore, it's understandable that Hikaru Shindo, as the pinnacle of Go before the revolution, lost.

"But can you call this a major transformation just because of this? There must be much more to it!"

However, the manga has only progressed to the second chapter and has not yet expanded on more details.

Yamamura began to look forward to it, saying, "If this change isn't big enough, don't blame me for criticizing you, Tori Akino."

At the same time, countless readers share his thoughts.

What's in Tori Akino's pocket?

Chapter 172 Buying a Car and "AlphaGo"

Today is a day to celebrate.

After more than two months of hard work, Hibiki Higashino finally got his Japanese driver's license!

Higashino Ichiro was particularly excited when he learned that he wanted to buy a car.

He wanted to offer advice and strategies to Higashino Hibiki, and also to fulfill his long-held dream.

Higashino Ichiro loved studying cars since he was a child, and naturally became a taxi driver when he grew up.

This is both life and fun.

Hibiki Higashino couldn't miss buying a car.

So Higashino Hibiki could only say goodbye to Akemi Akemi. Seeing her disappointed look, Higashino Hibiki was also upset. After all, this was Higashino Ichiro, who rarely took the initiative.

I guess I'll just have to make do with Akemi Akemi for now.

Before long, Ichiro Higashino arrived at Musashino Art University in a taxi.

In February, his clothes were thin, revealing his well-developed muscles.

Higashino Shio, sitting in the back row, was looking at Musashino with curiosity.

She was a true housewife, and the farthest place she ever went in her life was Hokkaido.

Higashino Shio, who usually wanders around the streets, has never been to Musashino before.

Higashino Hibiki said respectfully, "Dad, Mom, it's been a long time."

Higashino Ichiro nodded.

Higashino smiled and said, "You've gotten a bit stronger lately. Looks like you're doing well."

"After all, the job is very easy."

Higashino Hibiki was about to sit in the passenger seat when Higashino Ichiro stopped him, saying, "There's something I want to tell you."

Under Higashino Shio's curious gaze, he pulled Higashino Hibiki aside and whispered, "...Have you been having a bad time lately?"

Higashino was curious why he asked that, and then he suddenly remembered that during the second New Year's party, he took a taxi back to his dormitory and complained a bit.

The taxi driver knew his father and must have told Higashino Ichiro.

Seeing Higashino Ichiro's worried look, Higashino Hibiki said with a troubled expression, "I'm just a little depressed at night. I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about."

People are more prone to impulsiveness at night. Spending money on games or listening to music on NetEase Cloud Music are all things that happen when you're out of your mind late at night.

Feeling that life is not easy is Higashino Hibiki's time on NetEase Cloud Music when he says he's feeling depressed.

"Are you really alright? If you're not feeling well, then take some time to rest."

Higashino Hibiki repeatedly assured him that there was absolutely no problem, and only then did Higashino Ichiro let him go.

The two returned to the taxi, and Higashino Shio complained, "Did you two leave me here to whisper something to each other?"

Ichiro Higashino remained completely calm and said seriously, "Didn't he get his driver's license? I asked him a few questions and he answered them all. Not bad."

Higashino looked at him in surprise. He lied so smoothly, which was completely unlike his usual honest and upright self.

Higashino Shio didn't press the matter, and Higashino Ichiro said to Higashino Hibiki, "You drive it, I want to see your practical skills."

“Of course, no problem.” Hibiki Higashino sat in the driver’s seat.

After adjusting his seat, he skillfully pressed the clutch and accelerator, and easily got on the road.

Higashino Shio in the back seat was very nervous, gripping the armrest tightly.

She thought a novice driver would cause many problems, but Higashino Hibiki drove very steadily, maintaining a speed of around 50 km/h. He handled the complex road conditions very well.

Higashino Shio involuntarily let go of the handrail.

Higashino Ichiro was surprised. "Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like you just got your driver's license."

Higashino nodded. "Thank you for the compliment."

Guided by Higashino Ichiro, they soon arrived at the Toyota 4S store.

His suggestion to Hibiki Higashino was the Toyota Crown S150, a 1995 model.

Upon entering the 4S store, Higashino Shio sat quietly on the sofa and waited. Higashino Ichiro quickly walked up to the Toyota Crown X and excitedly introduced it to Higashino Hibiki.

The salesperson smiled slightly at the scene, knowing he didn't need to say anything more.

He'd seen this many times and understood the situation; the customer had come specifically for this car, so the deal was practically done.

He poured three cups of tea and placed them in front of Dongye tide, saying, "Please enjoy."
