The colors of the summer fade quickly, and after a humid and hot August, it is a time of gradual cooling in September, when the cicadas are singing away.

The students reappeared on the platform, and the social animals were a little better off because the temperature had dropped.

But the temperature is not a problem for professional chess players, there is a way that the mind is calm and naturally cool, as long as the mind is settled and concentrated, you can be completely unaware of the heat.

Well, in fact, the professional uniform has a special effect, and after wearing it, it has a hidden effect of regulating the temperature, but this is not shown.

On September 1st, the qualifiers for the new Star Wars had already started for several days in the chess courtyard, and similar propaganda banners were posted and hung everywhere in the chess courtyard to encourage newcomers to become more courageous.

Nova Wars is a title for newcomers and women, and only male players who have been in the final stage for less than two years, as well as all female players, are eligible to participate.

There are also people who have won the title of Nova Wars in the past who will not be able to participate.

Since its restriction requirements are limited to the period of no more than two years, and there is no rank, theoretically speaking, if there is really a genius boy who will go to the ninth stage within two years, he can indeed participate in this title battle prepared for newcomers, but this is only theoretical, and there is no such person in practice.

The venue of the qualifiers is set in the chess academy, which is not only used for college students to take classes, professional chess player training, and veteran cadres to fish, but also as a competition venue.

At this moment, there was also an opponent sitting in front of Ke Zhiguang, and the two had enough time to say something before the game officially began.

"It seems that my path to becoming a new star has come to an end here." Yamaoka was on the opposite side of Kojimitsu, speaking boredly.

"To be reasonable, the battle table was sent out two days ago, to be precise, you were killed two days ago." Kojimitsu took a sip of strawberry milk for breakfast.

"Poof." Yamaoka choked.

Yamaoka's opponent in this game is Ke Zhiguang, knowing that he is going to fight him in this round, Yamaoka immediately looks away, and the past two days have been very easy.

He also decided by the way that he would communicate with Ke Zhiguang in advance in the future, and which competition Ke Zhiguang would participate in, and he would hurry up and get rid of this race.

In a word, there is this person's competition, but he will not participate!

It has been a month since the success of the fixed section, and Ke Zhiguang also took a month's shift seriously and got the first full-time salary in his life, but because he had already succeeded in the fixed section, he did not enjoy the preferential allowance of rent, and paid this month's rent at the original price, and then went out to spend the first month, and then found out that ...... Well, it seems like that's enough to spend.

To be a professional chess player, the focus is still on stable work, easy work can fish, only top chess players can achieve ultra-high income, comparable to financial molecules.

In addition to the full attendance salary, the additional income is mainly based on winning and losing games against other chess players.

The people here seem to be very keen to find a game against him, the reason is that they have to win a few rounds against him before he is too strong, otherwise they may not have the possibility of gnawing a few points from him in the rest of their lives.

That's how they treat the newcomers, and they're very kind.

So far, Ke Zhiguang has played a total of 28 games in the chess academy, with a record score of 18 to 10, I didn't expect this group of people to be so strong, and they were able to make his winning rate only a little more than 60%, and after he went up on the first day to connect with Sasawara Kiyuki and Narita Shunji, these two buddies quickly adjusted their state, and there were back and forth with each other in the next few days.

It's just that the opponents' reactions are the same as him, and we didn't expect that you, a young man, would be so strong that you could actually scare our win rate below 40!

Normally, the winning rate of a player who has just set a stage to face a senior who has been in the workplace for a long time is generally kept within 20%, and the better one can rush to 30%, and the highest record is 50%.

Everyone is generally optimistic that Kezhiguang can challenge the data of 50%, but they think it is impossible to exceed 55%, but they didn't expect him to break 60% directly!

But it also strengthened the idea that many people wanted to come to him to play against him - now is it! It's too late, and when he grows up, he won't be able to win!

Because of this, he has basically not paid the game fee in the past month, and at most he only has money back and forth between wins and losses.

By the way, the one who set the record of 50% was the bamboo knife forging, which was set the year before last, and he was the holder of last year's new star title, so he could not participate in this new star wars.

And this person suddenly lost his voice a few months ago, and it is said that he has returned to the deep mountains and old forests to retreat and cultivate.

When he heard the news, Ke Zhiguang emmm for a long time.

How can this be euphemistically said that I sent him to retreat?

If you have to say it, it should be that he and Shi Xin teamed up to send him in, Shi Xin first used the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon to slap him to a crisp point, and then he flew and kicked him completely.

I hope that when he comes out again, he can be reborn, after all, he is the person who bears the name of Shura, and he should be the type that becomes more and more courageous the more frustrated he becomes.

"This rising star title should be yours now, right? You have such a high win rate against those five, six, and seven duans, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with our group of newcomers. Yamaoka said lightly that people who have been lying flat are so confident.

His win rate during this period is 30%, which happens to be in the category that is relatively good, and he is expected to be promoted to three in the next promotion competition.

"Not necessarily, I still have a target to fear." Ke Zhiguang looked at the arena around him and said, everywhere he looked was orange and yellow warning objects, and there were very few orange-red flashes.

These orange and red flashes are all "newcomers" who were successful two years ago, but are still eligible to participate.

Ko has also done his pre-match homework seriously, and on the bright side, his biggest threat is a 19-year-old South Korean named Yan Yong-shin, who is now a sixth-dan.

That's right, it's really Korean.

According to the official history, there are many Koreans who come to Japan to learn Go in this era, and there are already Korean chess players who have killed all sides in the Japanese chess world, but there are very few such people in this world.

"You said An Yongxin, I have been under him, although I lost, I feel that the threat to you is not too big, as long as you don't waste and don't get sick, everything is easy to say." Yamaoka also understood who Ke Zhiguang was referring to, but he quickly reminded him in a low voice, "This person also has a bad personality, please be sure to use the momentum to punish Yamu to deal with him." ”

"No problem." Ke Zhiguang made an OK gesture, "Don't hide it, I have a very good set of fighting Koreans in the next place, and I am professional in fighting South Koreans...... Phew, professional is resisted by Koreans. ”

"Speaking of Yamu, did Yawu participate in this new Star Wars?" Ke Zhiguang suddenly cared about this problem and looked around.

Only after officially entering the career threshold did he look back and realize how strong Yawu was, many newcomers who had been successful for two years were just red and orange, and Yawu was directly eye-catching crimson.

"I don't know, he hasn't been to the chess academy since he succeeded, and even if he comes, it's estimated that he won't be competitive, you sniped him off at the last intersection of the third section, I'm afraid he has a shadow on you." Yamaoka said with a smile.

"I've never been to the chess academy......" Ke Zhiguang had a bad premonition.

The relationship between Yatake and the boss is still full of mysteries, and now that Yabu has suddenly disappeared, it is very likely that it has something to do with the boss.

I don't know, on the wall of the drawer of that video store, the layer of drawers that suddenly vacated, the evil thing in it is for Yawu.

Ke Zhiguang first ruled out the possibility that the boss himself used this evil thing to end up in person, although there was only one side, but Ke Zhiguang could feel it, and now there was still some distance from the head-to-head confrontation with the boss, and he would not go off so quickly.

For more than a month, Ke Zhiguang has also been patronizing the video store, but no matter when he goes, the boss is never there, and the store is always in business, and it does leave traces of business.

It's like the boss learned that Ke Zhiguang would come, so he immediately slipped away, and when Ke Zhiguang walked away, he touched it back again and continued to open the store.

Ke Zhiguang also killed a few sudden return pistols, but none of them worked, and there was a feeling of being monitored by the boss from a high altitude.

From the most scientific point of view, it is that the surrounding generation has been equipped with cameras, and the boss is sitting in a large-screen place like the combat command room, watching every move of the entire area.

But when you look up, there's no such thing.

The only thing that looks mysterious is the flickering street lamp at the entrance of the alley, but no one has come to fix it.

Ke Zhiguang stood there for a long time, and based on years of experience playing puzzle games, there was really something wrong with this street lamp.

For this reason, he also deliberately rubbed a [Event Trigger Volume] under the street lamp, but nothing happened.

Yabu is now like a time bomb that will detonate at any moment, waiting in the shadows.

The quest for the treasure map is also stuck, and the treasure map found last time in Harushima's house is the latest one so far.

[Cursed Attack Effect] and [Sacrificial Power] are his current two hole cards.

Speaking of which, Harushima Deer hasn't been in front of him for a long time, and the schedule of the Women's Cup is quite long, from early August to mid-September, which just coincides with the new star title battle, and it is estimated that there is no time to catch up with this side.

Although she can't be seen in person, she is still quite frequent in TV, newspapers and magazines, accepting unscrupulous interviews, being played by fellow Taoist friends as a group, and playing post-game stickers with other girls.

Her record in the Women's Cup is also a passing one, having broken into the top four so far, and she can win the cup with two more opponents.

Before, Harushima Deer said to Ke Zhiguang that if you are lucky, you can meet in the arena of the new star title, so now this situation should be bad luck.

Again, let's work together first.

Soon, the referee started the game, interrupting Ke Zhiguang's distraction, his thoughts returned to the chessboard, and Yamaoka also tightened the lines of his cheeks, although he didn't think he could win, but at least he couldn't lie down and die.

The sound of chess pieces echoed in the chess courtyard for an afternoon, and the chess games ended one by one.

Ke Zhiguang also accepted the game as a matter of course, and Yamaoka saw it very openly, and after playing chess, he carried his suit jacket and swaggered to the restaurant of the chess courtyard, and ordered a meat skewer barbecue.

Back at Peach Blossom Zhai, the next thing to do is to pack your bags, and the next official match will take place in a high-rise hotel in Koto District, a place with a view of the sea, which has always been the venue for the new Star Wars.

The competition is divided into six days, the first day of the competition is held in the hall on the first floor, the second day is on the fifth floor, and the third day is on the tenth floor.

Only the two sides who participated in the championship and runner-up were eligible to sit in the luxurious game hall on the top floor of the hotel, playing in front of the incomparably wide floor-to-ceiling windows, with the entire sea as the backdrop.

Although the background may sound inconsequential and does not affect the performance of both parties, it is essential as part of the solemnity of the ceremony.

The simplest example, "Street Fighter" and "The King of Fighters", don't you also have to choose a map and choose a background?

After packing his luggage, Ke Zhiguang sat quietly on the bed for a while, thinking about whether there was anything missing.

Thinking about it, his eyes drifted to the various objects on the desk.

In the first place is a small trophy for the high school team battle, then a certificate for the third stage, and continuing to the right is the original banquet album, taken by Quantum Mechanics.

Walking to the side, there is also a photo of the summer festival two weeks ago, and it is also an itinerary that I made an appointment with Bai Meng.

He directly put the blue haori of the Shinsengumi into the celebration ceremony of the summer festival, and in his opinion, this dress can also be worn as a yukata, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

As a result, the three girls in front of them twitched the corners of their eyes, and they didn't know what to say.

Maybe I think this body is too handsome, ha.

Later facts proved that this body was really handsome, and people ran up to take a group photo at every turn, and both men and women were killed.

But the strange thing is that the men all got to the group photo smoothly, but when the women were about to come up to take a group photo, they suddenly seemed to see something terrible next to Ke Zhiguang, and they were so frightened that they apologized again and again, and then slipped away.

Ke Zhiguang looked around suspiciously, aren't there just three harmless girls? What's so scary? You see, the three of them smiled so sweetly...... However, isn't the sweetness of Bai Meng a bit too much? Shaogong's smile was like a wry smile, stiff and embarrassed, with a kind of helplessness of being forcibly pulled onto the boat by Bai Meng, and as for Shuicheng, it was a motherly expression that everyone was happy and I was happy.

Harm, whatever, just think it's a passer-by girl who is embarrassed to stand between three beautiful girls, so as not to hurt her self-esteem.

At the summer festival, Ke Zhiguang finally understood what his [shooting skills] were for—in short, the final result was that he was on the blacklist of a doll shooting shop and was kicked out by the boss.

After catching the claw machine, there is another game that has blacked him out.

The three of them each received a large number of dolls on average, and the trip was a full trip.

Finally, there is the fireworks link, full of summer atmosphere of youth with the fireworks to diffuse, the last time I saw this brilliant sky scene, it was the New Year.

Of course, it is the Chinese New Year in the previous life, or in the suburbs of the city and countryside, where fireworks are allowed.

The embers of summer, burned in the dust of the fireworks, leaving a good memory.

"It's time to go."

The memories were over, and the luggage was packed, Ke Zhiguang walked out of the room, and the destination was the New Star Wars match hotel.

But as he left the door, he turned back as if he remembered something.

"You can come over to me too."

He also took the chessboard on the desk and stuffed it into his suitcase, ensuring that the explosive props could be obtained as soon as possible.

I guess I want to bring the god of quantum mechanics with me.
