In the moonlit living room, Ke Zhiguang stared thoughtfully at the screen.

staring at this vast number of boys, who are no strangers to it, began to score....... Phew, "start matching", Ke Zhiguang fell into a burst of confusion.

What opponents will you meet?

Ke Zhiguang's first thought was that it might randomly select chess players from the past and present, and use Zero's powerful computing power to imitate their chess moves to move, but after thinking about it, he felt that it should not be so awkward.

After all, the real ancient chess players are now wandering around the city extensively, and if you want to play chess with them, you can now immediately turn into soul chess players and go hunting.

If you can't think about it from this angle, you can only think about it again.

The "Start Matching" button exists not only in competitive games, but also in online chess, whether it is the old head of Yicheng or the wild fox in the future.

Thinking of this, Ke Zhiguang's heartbeat suddenly became violent.

"Could it be this ......" Ke Zhiguang's answer had already been handed to his mouth.

"That's right, exactly what you think it is, the opponent you match with it...... A network from a past life. Zero's voice echoed in this quiet living room.

Ke Zhiguang's thoughts froze for a moment, as if he heard an ancient bell.

He turned his gaze to the start match button on the screen, and it felt like he was looking into a plane tunnel.

Spanning two worlds, spanning decades, and spanning locations, on one side is the computer in the network information age, and on the other hand, the game console is so simple that it can be used on the video of the director of Ao, which is connected by such a button.

Zero's seriousness didn't last long before he let go: "Don't worry, nothing will happen that after you click this button, you will suddenly be sent back, you are already closely connected with this world, and no power can send you back." ”

Hearing this, Ke Zhiguang breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not reassuring.

It's a mixed feeling, with one's past on one side and one's here and now on the other, but they both have the potential to become the future.

This may be the ultimate option for every traverser, the tram puzzle of the traversal.

Zero continued, "Even though it's called matchmaking, it's not meant to be a ladder point game for you to practice with passers-by, it's technically more of a test. ”

Listening to this abstract description, Ke Zhiguang seemed to understand something.

That is to say...... When I click on Match and forget about the game, I immediately forget about it? ”

"You can even forget about the opponent in the game, forget about the chatter you have with your opponent in the dialog, in short...... Forget everything, you will only remember whether the game was won or lost. Zero said in a nihilistic voice, which was very much in line with the meaning of this sentence.

It's like describing a dark tunnel, and even if you get to the other end safely, you won't know what's in the tunnel.

But the most poignant thing is this sentence "chatting with opponents".

In other words, the opponent after clicking in is indeed a living person, a chess player in a previous life, and maybe he still has a good relationship with the other party.

Although you will forget everything after passing through the tunnel, you can indeed talk to it during the passage.

The drumbeat of the heartbeat begins to amplify.

The long-lost enthusiasm and excitement climbed in my heart.

Unknown challenges, familiar pasts, conversations across time and space, many emotions are mixed together, and finally turn into heart-accelerating instructions.

This night when the secret was revealed was more meaningful than imagined.

Kezhiguang omitted the program, controlled the joystick, and pointed the arrow to start matching.

The controller is really inconvenient, but it seems that you can't buy a mouse in these days.

Just as he was about to press the A button, which represents "start", Ke Zhiguang paused.

"Anyway...... Can I play against you? Ke Zhiguang asked to zero.

He should have asked this question earlier, but he had been bombarded with a dense amount of information for the past few minutes, and he would ignore it for a while.

Zero stared at him for a few moments before he slowly spoke: "Of course—no, yes, yes." ”

"Cut."

"In this world, we can't play games with humans, and this is also an iron rule, if we have to play games...... But there is a price to pay. ”

"So, at what cost?" Ke Zhiguang suddenly smelled the smell of making a deal with the devil.

"The cost is that if you play chess with other people in the future, both you and your opponent will forget about playing against you...... What do you think? Does this price sound familiar? ”

Zero looked at Ke Zhiguang with a hook, and the little devil set off some weird aura.

Listening to this price, Ke Zhiguang was indeed stunned, and he also smelled a sense of familiarity.

Stone Heart ......

It turns out that he also has a similar god of quantum mechanics.

In order to pursue the ultimate in chess, he chose to bear this price and play directly against God...... That's right?

"One of the advantages of taking this price is that you don't have to suffer a second time." Zero said.

"Then, he will be able to play against the god behind him forever, and from then on, his chess skills will skyrocket, almost making the world start first, is that right?" Ke Zhiguang suddenly felt that the logic was closed.

It was the first time he knew that Shi Xin, like his opponent, couldn't remember the content of chess

"That's right, if you're willing to bear the price, you can try it too, I'm not against it...... It's strange, I'm very opposed, I can't bear to see you lonely and lonely, and I can't remember the game with others...... It's more important to play chess with people than with machines, that's what you used to say. ”

The transparent sound like a wind chime emanated from Zero's heart, and it also caused the surrounding light and shadow to fluctuate.

"This is my ..... The original words of the previous life? ”

"Yes, it's enough to be in the top 10 of your golden sentence ranking."

Ke Zhiguang gasped and looked out the window at the streetscape.

Again, when the camera doesn't know where the close-up is, just hit the sky and the streets, and you will be able to blend in.

After all, this is the real human footage.

It's dangerous...... There was almost a moment when I couldn't go back.

After a few breaths to adjust himself, he regained his grip on the handle and locked on to the start match.

"So...... Let's go! ”

An A key is clicked, and a progress bar appears on the screen waiting for a match.

The match is successful, and a blank board appears on the left side of the screen.

And the avatar of his opponent in this game appears in the upper right.

The game begins.

......

......

At 10:15 p.m., Ke Zhiguang also woke up from the chess game.

It was a very fast game, as if it had been hammered in half an hour.

Indeed, as Zero said, the moment the game ends, all relevant memories are emptied, and only one final result is remembered.

The results of this game are already written on the screen.

（110）

actually won a set, and Ke Zhiguang was already prepared for an unfavorable start.

"It's very good, you can win the first game, but it's understandable, you are lucky to be matched with a not too strong opponent." Zero smiled and applauded on the sidelines, his ears twitching.

"How was the game going?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

While asking the question, he stepped back to check the game record to see if the game had been included...... It didn't.

"In this game, you have the white chess that you are good at, and you are in a super disadvantage from the beginning of the layout, from 27 to 96 hands, your win rate has been crawling at a low altitude below 10%, in the words of the stalk, it is called the winning rate solitaire."

This means that the other party can already play chess while playing idiom solitaire.

"The turnaround happened in 105 hands, in a local campaign, you reversed the disadvantage in one fell swoop through beautiful discarding tactics, so that the win rate reached 46.3%, and finally the finale was leaked...... You win half a eye in the end, which is quite thrilling, and even if the opponent is a little stronger, you may not have a chance. Zero said.

"I'll be in the layout stage? What is the opponent of the layout of professional households? For example, the invincible opponent at the beginning of fifty moves? As soon as he said this title, Ke Zhiguang couldn't help but think of the bridge chess master.

"The level of layout of the opponent is average, but ...... In those days, the level of layout didn't matter, because everyone's layout was the same. ”

Ke Zhiguang quickly pondered the meaning of this intriguing sentence.

"That is, the standard formula for the layout, appeared?"

"Yes, the standard formula, the first fifty hands just need to be memorized...... How, doesn't it sound boring? ”

"Actually...... it's okay," Ko Zhiguang squeaked his lips.

Some people say that the layout of Go should be free, because at the beginning of the game, any point on the board is a treasure, and countless wonderful schools have been born from it, but after having a standard formula, suddenly it feels like everything is locked and becomes boring.

Looking at Ke Zhiguang's complicated expression, Zero covered his mouth and smiled: "Okay, lie to you, how can there be such a thing as the first fifty hands being exactly the same, even if it is a standard formula, there are several sets of standard formulas, and on the basis of several sets of standard formulas, there are still countless branches, and there are countless doors on the branches, constituting this endless labyrinth...... This criterion still applies. ”

"So if you are zero, can you calculate the optimal solution of Go?" Ke Zhiguang looked at the other party and said.

The optimal solution of Go...... It's a term full of romance.

If one of the hands of a god is compared to a dream, then the optimal solution to Go is fantasy.

The so-called optimal solution is the most perfect game for both black and white, and both sides have stepped out of the best selection point on the limit, starting from the first hand and continuing through the last hand.

If every chess player dreams of the realm of one god, then probably all chess players do not want the optimal solution of Go to be calculated, because this will represent the end of the life of the supposedly endless game of Go.

But on the other hand, in fact, in the process of pursuing the realm of God's hand, in fact, we have also embarked on the road of seeking the best solution.

Everyone is heading towards the end, but they don't want to reach the end, and it's a strange psychology, as if they are just enjoying the thrill of exploration.

Zero closed his eyes and shook his head: "Even if it's me, I have such a huge computing power...... I can't reach this level, I'm not a god. ”

A simple and clear statement, coupled with a silence, this deep and complex problem was suddenly solved-

Making a problem a meaningless problem is, in a sense, a way of solving the problem.

In the room of holy light and shadow, only the option keys on the TV screen are flickering slowly, indicating that it is not stuck, which becomes the only dynamic object in the room.

The amount of information has been really huge lately, starting with a visit to Mr. Hanno......

No, it was earlier than that, and the amount of information has always been huge since the moment I first started playing Go, but I have only recently had the time to slowly calm down and process the amount of information.

However, after processing, the final export result is also very simple...... Live in the moment.

The events of the previous life are certainly worth remembering, but the point connecting the previous life is just a chess game that will be forgotten at any time, and it is not the appearance of a space-time door, facing the ultimate problem of going back or leaving.

In this world, he has established enough bonds, and there are all kinds of missions waiting for him to accomplish.

After thinking about it, he stretched his waist easily: "Okay, it's decided, anyway, it's exciting now, it's better to have another ......"

But just as he was about to continue clicking on the match, his finger paused on the A button.

Because he noticed, Zero's expression.

As if sensing something, she looked out the window, and the elegant eyebrows of the maid furrowed...... In fact, it is still very elegant.

Then she smiled indifferently, as if she had discovered the matter of "even a certain Roy".

"What's going on?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

"Let's go find Harushima deer." Zero said.

"What happened to her?"

Holding his cheek with his index finger, he thought, "What should I say, in the local dialect...... The Holy Grail War is about to begin. ”

......

......

The rhythm quietly quickens out of sight, and the agitation in the air flows like a chaotic flow, and the night is noisier than ever.

Although it was already half past ten o'clock in the evening, the streets were bustling today, the neon light was more eerie than ever, and the bubbles became more intense and intoxicating.

The end of the two title battles at the same time, coupled with the recent strange chess battles, the activity of fortune has been maximized, and everyone's hearts exude a strong desire to consume and the urge to go out, and there is an endless stream of promotions in various stores.

A news story scrolling on an electronic screen at an intersection about the Rockefeller Building, a landmark building in New York, being photographed by the Mitsubishi Group, caused a burst of pride throughout Japan, and the deal was later seen as a sign of the peak of the Japanese bubble.

Of course, this news is only one of the factors that make up the excitement tonight.

In Koto Ward, a group of celebration teams that had just finished rubbing the restaurant were swaying, walking shoulder to shoulder on the street, all exuding the smell of alcohol.

"Look! I saw that the Varyag aircraft carrier was heading this way, and there was a red flag flying on it..... Hey? Why is it written on the red flag in Chinese, not Russian? Xiong Ying pointed to the F-cup mannequin in the window not far away.

"Hiccup ~ Where did the aircraft carriers and planes come from, I only saw weapons of mass destruction...... Hit it, call it all for me! Eagle Beauty pointed to the laundry detergent sold at a special price in the store.

"Hey, you two are too drunk to learn from me, I'm already there! @￥#！ %@#......" Harushima Deer pointed to the sky and babbled nonsense, no one knew what she saw.

"Get out! Don't help me, I'm not drunk, my mother, I'm already in my eighth year, and I've long reached the legal drinking age! Bai Meng was also waving his arms and shouting.

The above four people were carried by Xingcai, Yuanshang Jingliu, Xing Marriage and Shaogong respectively.

"These four people..... Is there at least one of them who is of legal drinking age? Fuchijo Shizuru twitched his eyebrows and said suspiciously.

"Alto and Horie seniors barely arrived, and the other two are hehe." Xingcai said with a sigh.

Originally, the banquet was held well, but Bai Meng and Harujima Deer suddenly became more energetic, Xiong Ying immediately arched the fire next to her, and Yingmei ordered wine directly.

And all four of them fell.

The next mahjong plan can only be left for the second wave tomorrow.

"Don't be stupid, auntie, how can you have an eighth year to read, are you planning to repeat a grade in school for four years?" Shaogong frantically complained about Bai Meng.

If the current situation is correct, it is probably ...... Four normal people walked with four abnormal people on their shoulders.

"Okay, everybody's having fun tonight, aren't they? Remember to continue tomorrow. Xing said happily.

"It turns out that there is really a second wave of banquets......." Xingcai said helplessly.

"Hey, did you notice?" Engami Shizuru suddenly said this, which brought the Inoue sisters back to their senses.

"yes, there's something dangerous, it's approaching......" Xing said as he looked into the distance.
