Zongman: The post-2D era

Yukinoshita Yukino sat quietly in her seat, waiting for Fengfeng to pack up.

"Should I stop him?"

Her eyes revealed an imperceptible concern, as if she wanted to see through Feng Feng's inner world.

Feng Feng took a deep breath and tried to bring his attention back to reality from the dream just now.

He packed up his textbooks, stood up, and prepared to leave this place that made him feel a little confused.

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino gently approached him, her voice low and gentle: "Feng Feng, let's go eat together."

There was a sincere light in her eyes, as if to say that no matter what happened, she was willing to stay by his side.

"Okay! Let's go."

Feng Feng and Yukinoshita Yukino walked into the cafeteria side by side, and the lively discussions of the students around them could be heard.

Without exception, their topic of conversation revolved around the recent uproarious food goblin incident.

Students were either marveling at the magic of the food fairy or guessing the truth behind it. The entire cafeteria seemed to have become a small forum on fantasy and adventure.

Feng Feng and Yukinoshita Yukino looked at each other and read a bit of teasing and memories in each other's eyes.

"The gourmet fairy might be you and me, haha."

They recalled the previous prank, when they were the center of the incident, but now they were just bystanders.

The two of them chuckled and shook their heads, as if they wanted to treasure all the happy times in the past in their hearts.

After they prepared their meal, they sat down by the window. The sunlight shone through the glass onto the table, creating mottled shadows.

Yukinoshita Yukino gently stirred the food in the bowl, her eyes revealing a bit of seriousness: "Feng Feng, regarding Asagiri Aya's matter, I have made some arrangements and deployments.

"Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go this afternoon? Or is there anything you need me to do?"

Feng Feng put down his chopsticks, looked up at Yukinoshita Yukino, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes:

"Yukino, thank you for your help all the time. I want to go to the library at noon today to look up some information to see if I can find more clues about Asagiri Aya."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, with a glimmer of approval in her eyes: "The library is indeed a good place, where you can find a lot of useful information."

"Let's go back together this afternoon. I also need to look up some information about the magical girl website."

After the two finished their lunch, Yukinoshita Yukino said goodbye to Fengfeng and turned to walk towards another road.

The sunlight shone on her back, casting a golden halo on the snow-white school uniform.

Feng Feng looked at her back as she walked away, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Afterwards, Feng Feng came to the library. He walked between the bookshelves, his fingers gently sliding across the heavy books, and finally stopped in front of a map book about amusement parks.

"Numura asked me why the amusement park was the first to be unsealed?"

He carefully took it off, sat in the reading area by the window, and opened the yellowed pages.

On the map, intricate amusement facilities and roads are intertwined, like a psychedelic dream.

"Because there is someone behind this?"

Feng Feng carefully studied every detail, trying to find clues related to Asagiri Aya.

As time passed, the sun gradually set in the west, dyeing the sky golden.

Feng Feng was still immersed in the world of maps in class. His eyes were focused and deep, as if he wanted to engrave every detail into his mind.

"A new Shogi Happiness Competition event?"

He kept flipping through the atlas, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes a gleam in his eyes.

It was not until the school bell rang that Feng Feng raised his head as if waking up from a dream.

He looked out the window at the darkening sky and a strong urge surged in his heart.

He stood up and rushed to the school gate without hesitation.

Yukinoshita Yukino was standing outside the school gate, preparing to go home with Fengfeng.

"Feng Feng, wait a moment."

She saw Feng Feng running out in a hurry, with a firmness and determination on his face that he had never had before.

"I, I'll go with you..."

She opened her mouth, wanting to call him, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

She watched Feng Feng's back gradually walking away and disappearing around the corner of the street, and an inexplicable worry and expectation surged in her heart.

"You can definitely do your best. I believe in you."

Feng Feng walked through the bustling crowd and finally arrived at the shogi competition center in the amusement facility.

The atmosphere here is completely different from other places. There is a sense of tension and anticipation in the air.

There were shogi boards all around, and the players were either frowning and thinking hard, or making moves with confidence, while the audience was watching and talking.

Feng Feng looked around and his eyes finally fell on a special chessboard.

There, a girl in school uniform was playing chess attentively. Her eyes were firm and deep, as if the whole world was only her and the chessboard.

Feng Feng's heart skipped a beat as he recognized the girl—it was Qun Qianjing.

The chess piece in her hand fell gently, making a crisp sound, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"Now that you are here, our chess game begins again."

Chapter 682: Yuuki World: A chessboard made of Shikoku Island

Saturday, May 13

Feng Feng walked out of the shogi competition center slowly with mixed feelings.

"Is this Yuuki World Shikoku Island?"

His heartbeat seemed to blend with the sound of gunfire around him, forming a tense symphony.

Qun Qianjing was playing with a golden chess piece, holding a chessboard in his hand with his head tilted.

"With seventy-two squares in all directions, the island is the chessboard. This is our chess game."

Finally, it was Fengfeng's turn to play chess.

"Boring game."

He took a deep breath, sat down on the chessboard line, placed his hands lightly on the ground, and felt the slight coolness brought by the chessboard.

"My pawns are the magical girls from the magical girl website? You think you can beat me that way?"

Feng Feng's eyes were determined, and his mind was fixed on the chessboard of the earth, as if he had already constructed the direction of the entire game in his mind.

He reached out and picked up a chess piece, gently stroking the rounded edge with his fingertips, feeling the touch it brought.

"I use my black hair to call back old memories, come out, Nunmura Luno."

He slowly placed the chess piece on the board, making a slight "pop" sound that sounded particularly crisp in the quiet game.

Feng Feng's heartbeat quickened with every step he took, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of his blood rushing through his veins.

A strand of his black hair passed through the crowd and came to the "jade" position on the shogi board.

"The chessboard is the battlefield, thousands of miles are all in one game, it's really a flowery game."

Feng Feng took a breath and calmed his excitement.

He made his move and waited, his eyes occasionally drifting towards Qun Qianjing who was concentrating in thought.

Finally, Qun Qianjing also started playing chess.

She sat in front of her chessboard and placed a chess piece on it with trembling hands.

"This game determines the world. The two gods of heaven and earth are here. Yuuki Yuna and the other eight heroes correspond to the eight pieces of shogi."

She took a deep breath and suppressed her nervousness and anticipation.

"If you win, you can gain the peace of Utopia; if you lose, the gods of heaven and earth will offer sacrifices to Feng Feng, the leader of the Utopia Gang."

Feng Feng gently put the map of the amusement park aside and stared at the Four Kingdoms chessboard with a determined mind.

At this moment, it seemed as if his world consisted of only him and the chess game. He wanted to focus all his thoughts on it, looking for a possible opportunity to communicate with Numura Runo.

Qun Qianjing wanted to get closer to Feng Feng's body with his eyes closed, but he could not move forward even an inch from ten meters away.

"One son, one city, you go..."

To the east of Shikoku Island, where Feng Feng made his move, a red light shot straight into the sky.

In the city under red light, Nucun Lunai woke Feng Feng up and handed him a magic wand.

"Hey, resurrected one. Don't sleep. If you don't want to die, get up and fight."

The sound of chess pieces falling could be heard in the sky.

Feng Feng's consciousness controlled his body. He stared at the huge Guima chess piece falling from the sky and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Is this a Tetris-level game? Can you do it well?"

Countless strange horse monsters in the sky rushed towards Feng Feng and Nucun Rune.

"What nonsense! Be careful of the herd of winged horses."

Numura Luno held a magic wand in her hand and leaped lightly into the air, engaging in a fierce battle with those alien horse monsters.

Every time she waved her wand, it was accompanied by dazzling light and powerful energy, repelling the monsters one by one.

In the air, her figure was like a dancing fairy, forming a sharp contrast with the hideousness of those monsters.

Her movements were both graceful and decisive, and each attack was precise and powerful, making Feng Feng dazzled.

"Feng Feng, watch out, the battle is not only a showdown of strength, but also a contest of wisdom and courage."

While fighting, Nucun Luno never forgot to teach Fengfeng.

Her voice echoed in the air, full of determination and confidence.

Feng Feng looked at her, and a feeling that he hadn't seen for a long time surged in his heart, as if he also felt the passion of fighting.

"Be careful, I'm going to use my ultimate move."
