In the ramen restaurant at the entrance of the school, Kojimitsu, Saito, and Sobahashi sat in a row, waiting for the hot ramen to be served.

That's right, this is a graduation celebration, how humble it is, plain is true.

As always, Kojimitsu chose the spiciest flavor, and when the red ramen was served, Sobahashi and Saito were terrified.

"So your teaching career is over?" Kojimitsu said to Saito.

"Hey, how do you listen to your tone, like I was fired?" Saito raised his eyebrows, but accidentally spilled the sauce.

"Damn! How can I spill something out every time I talk to you kid! Saito complained.

During the time he was teaching here, Saito also brought his tea ceremony hobby here, and Soba Bridge also had the same hobby, and the two of them drank more tea during this time than the two of them played chess.

But what made Saito feel depressed was that every time he was about to pour tea, Kojiguang would always suddenly appear and be startled, and then the tea would be spilled like this, giving Saito a sense of being interrupted by the ceremony.

Every time Saito pours tea, check left and right to see if he is there.

Sobahashi said kindly, "Ke-kun, you successfully defeated Saito-senpai in the five-game chess, do you have any feelings that you want to post?" ”

"Of course it's cool." Ke Zhiguang said while eating noodles with a chirp.

"You talk like this while eating, it feels so unconvincing......" Cang Yuqiao smiled bitterly.

"Well, it's just a little cool." Ke Zhiguang said calmly.

Fanqi is a unique term in Go, which is roughly equivalent to BO3, BO5 and the like in sports competitions, and is converted into Sanban and Wubanqi.

Although he played five games with Saito during this time, it could not be called a regular five-game chess, and the first four games were called guidance chess in Saito's words.

The fifth game is the real thing.

However, Ke Zhiguang also proposed a rule, that is, the reserve time of the two sides is only 15 minutes, and the second is 30 seconds × 3, which is considered a regular rapid chess game, and the rapid chess of 10 seconds and one move only exists in the online battle in the previous life.

Maybe he was touched by the feeling of online rapid chess in his previous life, so he did fast chess one by one.

While beating Saito in a still rapid format may sound like a bit of a shame, his own progress over the past month has been noticeable.

Literally visible to the naked eye - the color alert level on Saito's body has been alternating between red and purple.

If you want to achieve real coolness, you have to beat him in the real arena, and the training match really doesn't make people feel very interesting.

There are examples of invincible training and unmismatched competitions everywhere, especially in the field of esports.

Adjustment of status.

Study your opponent's preparation before the match.

and an ultimate that is specifically used for match preparation.

There are also countless soft power factors outside the chessboard.

If you have to say it, the spiritual objects of this evil sect should also be counted, and I don't know that these magic stick things can't pass the pre-game security check.

After taking a sip of the soup, Saito returned to work and said: "Your current strength can already directly participate in the competition of the three major titles, the fixed stage match is not difficult for you, I will buy the latest issue of the chess academy newspaper on the beach in Hawaii, if you don't make it to the second stage, be ready to cut yourself." ”

"Your next travel destination is Hawaii?" Ke Zhiguang asked, "Where can you buy the news of the chess academy?" ”

Saito smiled crookedly: "What do you think?" Nowadays, the Japanese are all running to Hawaii, and the chess academy has long set up a base there for us to relax and bask in the sun, and many media personnel joke about this, saying that we are a vacation house, and we don't do business all day long, but only know how to vacation on the beach in Hawaii. ”

This......

I see, the benefits of V Club employees, the famous meme of "V Club employees rush to make TI Battle Pass under the scorching sun".

"I heard that this time, the maximum can be set at three stages, is that so?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

"There is indeed such a thing, but there is a high probability that this third stage is not for you."

"Does that mean this quota has been determined?"

"It can't be said that it is an internal decision, and the matter of how many fixed slots will be issued in a year is decided by a group of us in the eighth and ninth sections......"

Ke Zhiguang interjected: "Decided on the beach in Hawaii? ”

Saito was stunned: "That's really the case..... Last year, we discussed this year's quota quota, and this year we should discuss next year's quota. ”

"Actually, I don't think it's that important how many stages are set, it's nothing more than one more time to go up in the promotion tournament later, and the difference between setting one stage at the beginning and three stages at the beginning is not so big." Ke Zhiguang said seriously.

In Ke Zhiguang's view, the only purpose of the fixed section is to play the game, if it weren't for the fact that others didn't let you sign up for the competition, he would definitely be naked.

"No, there is still a little bit of this difference, the rank you set at the beginning is like a starting point, the higher the starting point, the higher the absorption efficiency of fortune, if you have to give an example, it's like a parameter in the multiplication formula, the initial rank is equal to this parameter."

As soon as he said this, Ke Zhiguang understood.

Although you can participate in the competition if you reach the fixed rank, those who win the championship at the beginning of the fixed stage can only get one luck, and those who are determined to reach the third stage can get three shares.

Not..... When necessary, this world is a little too scientific, and it can still set mathematical models.

"It can't be measured by precise multiples, it should be more mysterious and difficult to fathom..... Yucheng Qi tells us about these nine dans, and the eight dan don't know about it. ”

"In other words, it's best not to let outsiders know about it." Ke Zhiguang said as he held his jaw on his head.

"Yes, it's better not to let outsiders ......"

At this moment, as if they had been touched by electricity, the two of them twisted their heads to Cangyu Bridge, who was silently drinking noodle soup on the side.

Cang Yuqiao was stunned with the noodle soup.

As if to prevent him from knowing too much, he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I didn't hear anything, I really didn't." ”

Not..... I guess I heard this reaction clearly.

Of course, Ke Zhiguang and Saito didn't bother to care if he heard it clearly, anyway, this is also a fishpond type player, at most they use this secret as an after-dinner conversation to blow to the students, just like some professors in the university always have to tell their love history anecdotes more than ten years ago to make the students wake up from their slumber and listen carefully.

Ke Zhiguang didn't care about him, and continued to ask confidentiality: "I have always had a question, the reason why I have to strictly control the distribution of these ranks is because of the fortune itself..... There's an upper limit to the stock, right? ”

"It should be, not to mention anything else, controlling the distribution of ranks can at least save a salary cost, and it can also avoid the flooding of ranks, which will lead to the depreciation of the title of occupation." Saito poured sake and said, "And the reason why the maximum number of third dans this time is that I think it should be that a certain Jiudan has accepted a particularly promising disciple, and he is sure that he will be able to win this unique third dan in one fell swoop." ”

Saito continued to analyze: "And this Kudan, who strongly recommends his disciples, should have gambled a little bit to promote the passage of this three-stage proposal. ”
