[Comprehensive] Reincarnation Thousand Years

Chapter 29 The Soul of Chess Part 5

Ever since Shinto Hikaru encounters the ghost of a shogi player named Fujiwara Sakai from his grandfather's old chessboard, the rest of his life has taken a turn for the worse—and becomes inseparable from the ancient game of Go.

After a series of events, in order to defeat the "legendary enemy of fate" Toya Ryo, he entered the Nihon Ki Academy to study, and Shindo Hikari became an academy student.

In May, he was promoted to a group of 16, but he was not yet happy to be qualified for the young lion battle, and he was happy to have a showdown with Taya Ryo again. I heard the name of a game I had never heard of in the small talk.

"The Skylight Cup is... what?"

Kondo's question made Kazuya and Yijiao look at him like a monster.

"How should I put it?" He Gu touched his chin and looked at him with a slightly sad tone, "Although I know Kondo that you are very ignorant of professional Go games, but I really have a feeling when I really hear you ask this question. It's a sad feeling."

Hikaru Kondo, who was poked into the soft spot, replied without confidence: "I don't know...does it have anything to do with it?"

Shinichiro Ikaku sighed and started working as a commentator: "The Skylight Cup was initiated in 1992 by Fu Yiming, chairman of a Chinese game company—now renamed Huasheng Group—and is held once a year. It is a worldwide event. The biggest feature of this game is that there are no restrictions on the qualifications of the participants, but professional players and amateurs are separated. The amateur group usually starts the game one to two months in advance, and the top four can get the first place in the professional group. Qualification for the second round."

He Gu nodded, and added the part he was more interested in: "By the way, there is another great rule in the Tianguang Cup. Starting from the professional group, if you win the second round, you can find the related rules of the Tianguang Cup." The person in charge reimburses the round-trip fee and a certain amount of food expenses. Basically, as long as you can win two games in a row, you can basically solve the problems related to the round-trip fee and board and lodging. It is very generous for young chess players An encouragement, and the game fee is also very high... I remember that the champion of the game can get a reward of 60 US dollars."

"Well, it is the Go tournament with the highest prize money in the world. But..." Yijiao also knows something about the organizer of this tournament, "After all, the organizer is the Huasheng Group. World For the game company with the largest scale and the highest profit in the world, to engage in this competition, such a small amount of money is just a drizzle for them."

"This is a realistic proof question of 'what can sister control do'."

Obviously he can only be called barely academically, but Hegu Yigao still can say those two related words from his mouth.

"Fu Yiming, the chairman of Huasheng Group, and Fu Yiyan, the president, are both Fu Yinuo's [-]th-dan elder brothers."

"Fu Yinuo Jiudan..." Shinto Hikari remembered the related reports he had seen on TV before, "Is that the woman who won the Taya Celebrity?"

"Don't show such an expression that you just draw conclusions without understanding at all," Kazuya looked at Shinto Hikaru, and told him seriously, "He was determined at the age of eight, and he was accepted by the best professional chess players in the world at the age of 12. He won the first Tianguang Cup championship, he is a real genius."

"Speaking of which, I heard that Fu Jiuduan will also come to this 'Young Lions Battle'. The organizer seems to be lobbying her to go first with the final winner of the Young Lions Battle."

Occasionally, Hegu can also bring up such an awesome topic.

"Oh? Is this true?" Yi Jiao was also moved.

"I just want to play against Taya Ryo."

Hikaru Shinto whispered to himself.

Sakai Fujiwara, who only he could see, looked at him, and softly called out worriedly: "Xiaoguang."

Fu Yinuo, who came to Japan a few days ago to build momentum for the Tianguang Cup, played against several Japanese chess players arranged by the Japanese Chess Institute, together with his fellow apprentice Yang Hai, won several young Japanese chess players without mercy.

As the finale, Ogata Seiji looked at Fu Yinuo, and after so many years of playing her tricks, he really had nothing to do with him.

"Ogata, you lost to me in the same way back then, so you don't have to show such an ugly face to these juniors."

Seeing the ugly look on the face of Ogata Seiji who was watching the battle, Fu Yinuo specially told her after the replay was over.

Ogata Seiji discovered for the first time that this habit of still speaking Chinese in other countries could save him a little face at this time.

When Fu Yinuo participated in the Sino-Japanese Go Challenge for the first time, Ogata Seiji was the boy who met her in the first round and had to be forced to give up in the middle game.

Back then, Fu Yinuo used some violent moves back then, and added almost no time wasting. A game of chess that normally took three hours was pressed down to less than two hours before it ended in the middle game. up.

It was also the impact of the delays at that time. After Seiji Ogata lost due to serious psychological factors, he specially strengthened his training in this aspect after returning to China.

This time, in the Honinbo battle between him and Kuwamoto Inbo, he also won the title of Honinbo because he overcame the opponent's psychological tactics.

Ogata Seiji said to Fu Yinuo expressionlessly, "Fu Jiudan is really merciless."

Fu Yinuo nodded with a smile, and pointed the fan in his hand to Yang Hai, who was talking happily during the replay with his opponent: "My personality is not as good as Yang Hai's."

Seiji Ogata agrees with this.

At that time, his master Ta Yaxingyang won Fu Yinuo in the Sino-Japanese Go competition, and won back face for his own side. As a result, the little girl threw herself into the arms of her master's master, Xun Guang Jiuduan, and cried for a while. Immediately after the game, their entire party became a bully of a little girl—"shameless adults".

Even the uncle who was in charge of repairing the flower beds at the Chinese Chess Academy didn't give them a good look.

Back then, Fu Yinuo was a soft and cute little girl with a bit of a tongue-in-cheek attribute that doubled her cuteness. The little girl cried so badly, and they didn't get any good looks from them.

As for the subsequent results?

It can only be said that his teacher-Taya Xingyang was brushed off by Fu Yinuo's fellow teacher Ren Shaohua, and then Ren Shaohua was brushed off by Kuwahara Inbo, and finally fought again and became "King Seeing King", "General Against the General"—the match between Hitoshi Kuwahara and Xun Guang is still a classic and tongue-in-cheek today.

Unsurprisingly, the Chinese side with Xun Guang's [-]th dan in charge is indestructible, and even with Kuwahara Inbo's presence, it is powerless.

In the second year, the China-Japan Go Tournament underwent system changes, and now it has become a China-Japan-Korea Go Tournament.

And because of this reform, the chess players in Japan have thoroughly discovered that if they sit in the country and watch the sky, they will soon be left behind by the whole world.

At this time, Huasheng Group's games accounted for more than [-]% of the market share in Japan, and the entire industry was shouting "Wolf is coming" and "cultural invasion theory", and it has gradually emerged in international competitions. The incompetent Japanese Go has also been hyped and publicized by the media, and the entire domestic Go business has also advanced a lot.

If Kuwamoto Inbo hadn't been defeated in the past, and there have been constant international stimuli after that, then the current situation of Japanese Go would be even more unbearable.

And the last excitement, after the winner of the first Tianguang Cup was won by 12-year-old Fu Yinuo, finally ignited a wave of heated discussions in China.

Both inside and outside the industry are reflecting on why their own country’s Go, which was proud of the world in the past, has fallen to such a point, and then the government has stepped forward to vigorously cultivate new domestic Go players. Now the entire Go industry inside and outside is a scene of prosperity.

All of this is due to the huge impact caused by the "wind of the new era".

And the cause of that year is now a woman who has just passed the age of 20.

Ogata Seiji led the topic to another place: "Xiaoliang is very good."

Fu Yinuo followed his words and looked at the name tag put aside.

"Ah, that could be the son of Master Taya..."

"Well, he is the teacher's son."

Ogata Seiji nodded.Fu Yinuo's habit of "not remembering the opponent's name until the end of the game" is also a well-known rumor in the industry.

Accompanying this rumor is another gossip that sounds a bit harsh.

"Fu Yinuo Jiuduan never remembers the names of the chess players who lost to her."

At this point, Ogata Seiji, who heard this rumor for the first time, said that it was complete nonsense.

But this legend that Fu Yinuo himself heard was a little arrogant, just like the rumor that the Korean Gao Chang was at the ninth dan "he didn't bother to talk to low-rank chess players", it was all nonsense.

Those who knew the inside story were muttering in their hearts, and they didn't know who spread the rumors.What's even more tragic is that the masses are actually talking about such rumors.

Fu Yinuo, who didn't know what Ogata Seiji was thinking, just said clearly: "So that's how it is."

"As expected of the son of Master Toya."

Even if this sentence is not spoken in Chinese, Ta Yaliang can still hear the meaning.

Of course, losing to Fu Yinuo is not a shameful thing. Looking at the whole of Japan, there is not a single chess player who has met Fu Yinuo who has not been defeated by her.

But the meaning of what she just said was too hurtful.

It seemed that Ryo's efforts so far were all due to his father.

"Ogata, translate."

Fu Yinuo sat upright, looking at Ta Yaliang.

Under Yang Hai's sympathetic gaze, Ogata Seiji could only smile wryly and take up the post of translator from Chinese to Japanese.

"Your talent is indeed very powerful." Fu Yinuo said, "but until you really get a favorable proof, you can only be mentioned like this all the time—Taya Xingyang's son. Come to the world, here This is where you can really prove that you are an outstanding chess player."

Ta Yaliang looked at the woman in front of him and said, "I will go."

There is a problem with the adverbial of time.

Fu Yinuo didn't care much about this flaw.

'It is better for young people to have some persistence on their own. '

The ardent words of Xun Guang Jiu Duan to Fu Yinuo back then are still in my ears, and the fan produced by Wang Xing Ji in her hand still has words written by Xun Guang Jiu Duan for herself.

"Ah, Senior Sister, isn't what you said a little—"

Yang Hai gestured desperately at Fu Yinuo from the side.

And the latter gave Yang Hai a blank look.

"I don't want to get a few more juniors to go to those competitions, and I get tired of seeing these faces every year."

"It's not like there are so many faces every year back and forth."

Yang Hai was talking nonsense, and at this time a reporter from the Chinese sports newspaper also appeared.

"Fu Jiuduan, are you free now?"

Fu Yinuo looked at his watch, nodded, and stood up from the chair.

"15 minutes, okay."

"Yes, enough."

After the reporter got the answer that allowed him to do business, he and Fu Yinuo immediately walked out of the game room.

Yang Hai said to the chess player who played against him before: "Cang Tian, ​​how about it, my senior sister is really scary."

"Ah, indeed."

Kurata Hou, who has formed an indissoluble bond with Yang Hai because of Go, nodded vigorously.I couldn't agree more with Yang Hai's proposal.

When I was a child, Fu Yinuo looked like a cute loli in the photos, and when she grows up, she is also a slim, gentle and delicate girl, but that character really makes others look at her and beg to thank her.

Who can bear this temper.

"You have signed up for the Tianguang Cup this time."

"Of course." Kurata counts the schedule of the Tianguang Cup that has been announced on the official website, "The first round of the first round will start in Guangzhou, next will be Xiamen, and then go to Shanghai... although the subsequent schedule has not been announced , but the arrangement now is already great!"

Of course Yang Hai knew why Kurata was so interested in this Skylight Cup. "Because they are all cities with delicious food everywhere, right?"

"I can't help it, there are too many delicious foods in China."

"You are here to play chess, not to eat."

"Don't waste it. Speaking of the last Three Kingdoms Tournament, the ones held in South Korea were really bullying people in terms of diet."

"The price is too expensive, and the things are just like that... I went to the supermarket to buy kimchi and found that the place of origin is China... Later, I did a search and found that more than 90.00% of the kimchi in South Korea were dumped by our country. At that time, I thought Why didn't I bring two more packs of pickled mustard... If my senior sister didn't divide the pickled melon and chocolate she brought with me, I would definitely be defeated by this innate condition."

As long as you talk about Korean food, Yang Hai has a lot of complaints to pour out, and Kurata is indeed a companion who has hit it off with Yang Hai and has maintained a good friendship. The two complained about Korean food together, and talked about those Korean foods. How cruel is the chess player's chess style...

"It's like a shit stick and you can't shake it off."

In the end, Kurata said something based on the Chinese that Yang Hai learned back then, and Yang Hai nodded vigorously in agreement with this point of view.

At this moment, Fu Yinuo, who had finished the interview, came back and asked, "Yang Hai and I are going to eat outside after lunch, you two come together."

Cangtian, who can understand Chinese, nodded without any pressure, and then he explained to the chess players around him: "Fu Jiuduan invited us to lunch."

"Eh?"

Taya Ryo looked confused, and the other young chess players were also a little confused.

"Don't worry, we're going to eat the big family."

Since even Fu Yinuo's younger brother Yang Hai said so, then naturally others don't have to worry about it.

The place Fu Yinuo took them to eat was a medium-sized store about 10 minutes away by car.

Yang Hai looked up at the signboard of the restaurant and sighed.

"Ah, why did you come here to eat sushi?"

Compared with sushi, he wanted to eat something else, such as kaiseki cuisine or something, although the master said that he went to kaiseki cuisine with Master Ren Shaohua last time, but he regretted it to death-but this Everyone knows this kind of thing, and you won't be reconciled if you don't try it yourself.

As if guessing what Yang Hai was thinking, Fu Yinuo replied: "Because kaiseki cuisine is really cheating."

Pushing open the door of the sushi restaurant, everyone filed in.

Both the host and the guest enjoyed a meal.

Everyone quickly entered into friendship at the dinner table.

After the next Tianguang Cup begins, there may not be such a pleasant opportunity again.
