In the blink of an eye, a few months later.

In Tokyo, in early December, winter has arrived, the leaves are yellow, and the shop windows are filled with delicate mannequins dressed in graceful furs.

In the broadcast hall of TV Tokyo's upper echelons, a chessboard is bathed in lights, and the chess pieces are shining.

There was an anxious silence around the chessboard, and only the commentators in the distance were talking.

Ke Zhiguang sat quietly on the side of the chessboard, his eyes fixed on a part calmly, without too many small body movements, and the lines on his clothes seemed to be sharp black metal.

And across from him, sat a middle-aged man with a solid figure and a gentle face, biting his lip and frowning in thought.

His name is Junki Ohki, and he is an eighth-dan, in his 40s, belonging to the Mesozoic generation, and once sat briefly in the title position of Doce.

Ke Zhiguang is black in this game, and the opponent is white.

On the commentary platform in the distance, sitting was An Yongxin, as well as another female commentator.

"Look, Brother Ke chose to clip his backhand here, this is to say that I don't plan to run, I'll fight you here." As a special guest, Ernst & Young explained with great interest.

"Now black's shape is not good, he is here to reverse, it is not quite in line with the conventional chess theory, I think it is better to survive here with a small tip." The female commentator said that according to conventional chess principles, it is often important to stand firm before attacking.

"Harm, what's so good about working on the spot, in the face of attacks like us, we have never put a hand of chess into the tactical panel, we have always fought back on the spot." Ernst & Young smiled and waved his hand.

"But, if I'm not mistaken, An Liudan, you don't seem to be a fighter of the force fighting faction, you used to work on the spot in this situation......."

"This ......" An Yongxin's face flushed for a while, but he raised his momentum very much, "You forgot my wonderful performance in the last Nova Wars so quickly?" Forgot that Brother Ke and I treat the big dragon as a mustard to each other, and treat Houshi as a fierce game of solitary chess? And that means I'm not a force faction? ”

"However, after that, your chess style has changed back, and you have become the type that can work on the spot and quickly survive......"

Ernst & Young continued to be imposing: "This is called hidden strength, I have played some small games after that, how can it be as important as the new Star Wars?" Let's just say that the next time I encounter a major title fight, I'll show my true strength again! ”

As he was blowing, there were several more moves on the board in a row.

Now Jungui Oki has entered the state of counting seconds, and every move is very compact.

This tournament is a year-end tournament organized by TV Tokyo, and the two sides have only one hour of spare time, followed by three times of 30 seconds, and this format can already be called rapid.

The hour on Oki Jungui's side ran out early, and he entered the countdown, but when he looked up at the opposite side, there were actually 45 minutes left, and this person was playing chess too fast!

And when his side entered the countdown, Ke Zhiguang immediately increased his strength, and one chess piece after another collided with him, turning the situation from calm to complex battles.

As a result, at this time, Ke Zhiguang began to take a long exam, and used the spare time in a formal sense.

After nearly 15 minutes of long examination, his falling speed slowed down again, and he punched up one punch after another, attacking in a machine-gun style, leaving no room for the opponent to kick.

Before the start of the competition, Junki Oki did a lot of preparation and did a lot of homework to understand the style of Ke Zhiguang coming in.

Roughly this style of using as little time as possible in the first half of the game and saving as much time as possible for the second half of the game was already taking shape before his new Star Wars, but after the new Star Wars, he seemed to have taken it as a formal tactic and became more proficient.

As soon as the opponent enters the countdown, he immediately detonates a local battle and crushes the opponent in one fell swoop.

To this end, the tactics prepared by Junki Oki is to take advantage of the early stage as much as possible, use most of the time to devote energy to the selection of points in the layout, and then run smoothly in the back, turning the advantage into a victory between half a eye and a half eye.

This game was indeed carried out according to his script, in the early selection of the stereotype, in the local battles, he was successful, just when he thought he could lie down and win, the situation began to go wrong.

A few moves down, like a set of combination punches in the stomach, spit out all the advantages.

"It seems that this local Damu Baduan can't go down anymore, and it seems that he was really killed by Brother Ke on the spot?" An Yong was stunned, he just said that our fighting faction pays attention to killing in situ is a joke, but Ke Zhiguang really played it true?

In the sound of counting, Damu Jungui's face became more and more ugly.

Eventually, he was furious and threw in the towel.

The moment the clock was photographed, small ceremonial flowers erupted from the side, and the surrounding staff also clapped and applauded.

"Congratulations to Ke Zhiguang 6th Dan for winning the year-end cup championship of this year's TV Tokyo."

"Look, I'll just say, this championship is easy for Brother Ke, well done, worthy of the man who snatched the title of rising star from me!"

"Recently, there have been more and more ...... of Kefu," the female commentator muttered quietly from the side.

Ke Zhiguang calmly got up, left a word of thanks and advice, and then held up a small transparent crystal trophy, and the camera dangled around him at an upward angle, a technique that Hollywood uses every day to close-up the heroic moments of the protagonist.

Unconsciously, nearly three months have passed since Nova Wars, and after that battle, his chess strength has once again ushered in a bottleneck-breaking improvement, and he has gradually figured out the most suitable way for him to win.

With the momentum of the new Star Wars just won the championship, he soon launched an attack on the next championship, that is, the Autumn Cup in Kyoto, where he won the second championship, which can be called two consecutive championships, and under the aura of the Autumn Cup champion, he was invited to participate in the year-end cup of TV Tokyo, directly from the semi-finals, and then to the third championship now.

It is said that the person who wins the Nova Cup will be fierce in the next year, and it seems that this rumor is true.

The only fly in the ointment is that this championship is only two million yen, which is very sister in front of many high-weight competition bonuses, so that the people who come to participate in this competition are not too strong, and the only resistance that Kozhiguang suffers is this last hurdle, that is, just now.

Although the Demon Dragon's Eye has been killed, Ke Zhiguang can also estimate the approximate difficulty of the other party, which should be orange-red.

With the new champion in hand, I walked out of TV Tokyo, and now it was getting late, and the streets were full of Christmas cheers..... Although there are still more than 20 days before Christmas, it does not prevent this group of Japanese people from frantically pursuing Western-style festivals.

In fact, according to the experience of previous lives, the game is often played in the morning, and the end will be about four o'clock, but most of the games in this world are at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the important games will be postponed later, try to ensure that at the end of the game, it is already dark outside, and the winning side can rush to tonight's banquet with the trophy.

Quite American-style rhythm of the game, the night is given a grand meaning.

"It's been half a year..... Ke Zhiguang exhaled into the lights on the street.

More than half a year has passed since I came into contact with Go, and I feel that a lot of things have happened, but I can't tell what happened for a while, so I have to sigh twice.

His life has also undergone a drastic change in pace, his clothes have changed from school uniforms to workplace suits, and the pavement under his feet has changed from the tiled floor of the school to the marble steps of the entrance to the TV station.

This feeling is like playing extraordinarily in the college entrance examination, from the level of being able to go to a county primary school three books, a burst came to the 985 University in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, even if you have been sitting in the university lecture hall for almost half a year, familiar with everything here, you will sigh from time to time whether all this is true.

"Congratulations to the seniors for winning another championship, from the debut of the early July stage competition to the present, you have won three championships in a row, maybe your title has to be changed to Ke New Star Initial Third Dan Now Resident Sixth Dan Triple Crown Zhiguang?" Inoue stood at the foot of the TV station's steps, wearing a school uniform and a thick scarf.

"According to this title, I am not far from the Tsar." Ke Zhiguang walked down the steps.

"Is there a banquet, if so, take me to participate, I happened to pass by here, and suddenly thought that you have a final today, and I think you have a high probability of winning the championship, so I came to squat you in advance, and planned to have a wave of dinner." Inoue said.

"It's an izakaya not far away, and it's not a great place."

"It turns out that even the position has been booked, it seems that you have already decided that you will win this competition?"

"It's not true, I just think that even if I win the runner-up, I have to celebrate, it's just that the set meal is different." Ke Zhiguang said.

"Let me think about it, if the average person is the champion, he will have a big meal, and if he is the runner-up, he will have a snack, but if you are a senior, you should have turned it upside down, right?"

"Of course, if you think about it this way, if I win the championship, then I must be very happy, then there is no need to eat so much, and if I only win the runner-up, then I have to eat better, in order to make up for the wounded heart." Ke Zhiguang stood in the cold wind and talked to the other party, and the wind blew the corners of his clothes.

By the way, this business outfit also has extra warmth.

However, Inoue is wearing a school uniform, which does not have this metaphysical effect.

"Are you just out of school?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

Inoue nodded: "I just came over from the club activities, because Bai Meng and Senior Sister Shaogong are actively preparing for the exam, and Senior Sister Shuicheng has no idea to sit in this position, so now the position of the president of the club has fallen to me, and it is quite interesting to do." ”

"You? Already promoted to president? Ke Zhiguang thought to himself, why can you sit in this position as a first-year student.

"What's the problem? After all, I'm the one who passed the women's regular exam. ”

This..... It always sounds like she is usurping power.

Inoue's current focus is basically on the school side, and he basically doesn't show his head in the chess yard.

With the fortune bonus of the rank certificate, she will also gain certain advantages in learning, such as a better learning state, and there will be no situation where she has to be stunned for two minutes to enter the state after sitting at the desk.

The accuracy rate of bets before important exams can also be higher.

In short, my rank certificate died too early!

"Then what are your plans for next, senior? I mean, in the next month, will you still maintain this kind of dedication as a model worker and look for competitions to participate? Inoue asked.

"If you want to compete, you can get three of them this year, and if you participate in the competition, your brain won't be able to turn." Ke Zhiguang said.

The game of Go is actually a very tiring job, and it requires a lot of research and practice for the opponent before the game, and he himself is no exception.

As a high-profile new star, his game is naturally played over and over again by other players in the room, and his opponents will naturally prepare something different against him the night before.

At the end of the day, preparation is also part of the competition, such as the time when he fought hard for many days and successfully defeated Saito, this life experience is a masterpiece of his life.

According to the experience of the previous life, the competition is a thing, it is best to have a trade-off to participate in the year, if you can be directly invited, of course, it is the best, if you can't be directly invited, you have to play from the most basic qualifiers one by one, it will be too tiring, and it will lose the state.

Night God Guojing also said at the rank certificate awarding ceremony that the combination of work and rest pays attention to trade-offs.

For Ke Zhiguang, what is more critical is that he has hoarded so much money in his pocket for half a year, and it is time to spend a wave.

In the context of the bubble era, the main reason is that housing prices are ridiculously expensive, as long as you don't touch the property, the rest of the consumption is easy to say.

"Then in the next month, senior, do you want to have a good rest?" Inoue asked.

"Yes, this month will pass first, I still have a school final exam at the end of December, and I have to prepare for the surprise attack, and then prepare for the title battle in early February." Ke Zhiguang said.

Next year is a very special year, there is a dragon throne battle in May, and there is a chess battle in the imperial city in December, but if you look through the calendar carefully, you will find that in early February, there is actually a famous general battle, which can be described as a copy year.

The Celebrity Battle is also one of the seven titles, the position is just one level higher than the new star, the format is mainly rapid, and the closer to the final, the shorter the time, and the final is also a three-way victory.

Rapid chess is undoubtedly Ke Zhiguang's killer strength, and I have to admit that his crazy rapid chess behavior is no different from holding a handful of lime in his arms during hand-to-hand combat in martial arts, and always throwing the opponent's eyes.

But rapid chess is inherently rollover, and no one can hold this position for two terms.

"Do you have any other plans for this month? Like traveling or something? ”

"Travel is a good idea, let me study the next ......" Referring to tourism, Ke Zhiguang suddenly thought of something.

Saying...... It seems that a few months ago, I had a plan to shake a group of people to go to Hokkaido together?
