Walking out of the dense forest, an ancient pavilion in the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty appeared before the two people. In an instant, it made people feel as if they had arrived a thousand years ago.
The two walked into the pavilion. In the center of the pavilion was a stone shogi board. Looking out from the pavilion, they could not see the hustle and bustle of the world, only a sense of tranquility remained in the mortal world.
"Do you want to play chess here?" Yushan Heren smiled.
Kong Yinzi shook her head and walked out of the tea room. She hadn't spoken a word since then and seemed a little shy.
"What do you think of my performance today?" Kong Yinzi asked.
"Not bad, the move was very reasonable and limited the opponent's advantages." Yushan Heren said.
"Thank you." Kong Yinzi's voice was very low, and it was unclear whether she was thanking Yushan Heren for his sparring with her these days, or thanking Yushan Heren for his recognition.
"If I win two more games, I can be promoted to the third dan." Kong Yinzi lowered his head, as if talking to himself.
"After the third dan, it seems that you have to go through the third dan league to become a professional chess player." These days, while reading chess records, Yushan Kazuto also made up for his knowledge of shogi.
Kong Yinzi nodded. Her biggest goal now is to participate in the third-stage league in the first half of this year and become a professional chess player.
"Yushan Kazuto, let me ask you, have you read a lot of chess books recently?" Kong Yinzi suddenly asked.
"Well, I looked through all the classic chess records in the shogi software, but it seems to be of no use." Yushan Kazuto felt a little embarrassed.
"Have you read it all?" Kong Yinzi was a little dumbfounded. You know, the shogi software contains as many as twelve thousand chess games, and it takes her three or four hours to review one game.
"Yeah, I've read them all." Yushan Heren wanted to end this awkward topic, "So, what exactly do you want me to come here for?"
Kong Ginko frowned slightly and turned her head to the side: "This place is very similar to Naniwa."
"There are many hills like this in Naniwa, and there are also many pavilions like this."
"Only here can I miss Naniwa, miss the me of the past..."
Yushan Kazuto's heart suddenly tightened when he heard:
[It's a pity that I no longer have the qualifications to even miss the past. ]
Kong Yinzi suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. She took out her fan and wanted to hit Yushan and others: "This... this cannot be told to others! This place..."
"Don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, I will help you." Yushan Heren looked at Kong Yinzi with a firm and clear eyes.
"You are the first one to know." Kong Yinzi's voice was very low.
……
"So, the chess records I read are useful?"
"Of course it works! Those are all classic matches! You just don't know how to use them flexibly."
"Flexible application?" Yushan Heren felt that he had applied it flexibly enough, but chess records are not mathematical formulas after all, and it is not feasible to use mathematical methods to apply chess records.
"Anyway, play more chess!"
Chapter 44 Akihabara
Tsukiyomi Saka Ryo felt that today was a disaster day for him.
During the day, he was defeated easily by Sora Ginko in an almost humiliating manner. At night, he wanted to find his feel for the game on an online shogi platform, but he lost to an ID called yshr1.
The opponent's chess moves were very strange, complicated and changeable, which often confused Yukiyomi Saka Ryo. The most important thing was that the opponent's move speed was more than ten times faster than that of her, the [Powerful Archangel].
【Wait a few minutes before matching. 】
After losing another game and being defeated in the way he was best at, Yue Yejian Saka Ryo leaned back in his chair helplessly.
[Hmm? The six-character ID is finally not yshr1 anymore.]
At first glance, Yue Yejian Ban Liao felt a little relieved, but after a closer look, she almost jumped up.
yshr26.
[Damn it, this can’t be an AI chess player! ]
……
Hinazuru Hot Spring Hotel, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Hinazuru Ai sat alone on a stool in the room, her two little feet in milky white cotton socks hanging in the air, swaying back and forth.
[This guy called yshr9 is so awesome. Xiao Ai can't beat him at all. ]
Hinazuru Ai lay on the table, and the aho hair on her head drooped down.
[By the way, how about sending him a private message and asking him to give Xiao Ai some guidance? ]
"Dear yshr9, my name is Hinazuru Ai, and I am an elementary school student. Could you please teach me how to play shogi?"
"You made your move too slowly. I waited until all the flowers withered. Remember to make your move faster next time." The other party replied quickly, and then his status changed to offline.
……
Yushan Kazuto closed the twenty or so shogi software programs on the table one by one and stretched his body.
[These guys play chess so slowly, except for that beautiful moonlit night when they played faster.]
[I need to get a new computer. This computer can only run more than 20 shogi software programs at the same time. If there are more, it will lag. ]
Yushan and Toto yawned.
[Kong Yinzi told me to play more chess, but is this really useful? 】
[There are still two days left in the Golden Week. Tomorrow I will go buy a mobile phone with Eriri, and the day after tomorrow I will take Sanae out to play for a day. This time management is really stuck. ]
As he was thinking, Yushan Heren took out his cell phone.
……
May 4th, Spencer House.
Early in the morning, Yushan Kazuto arrived outside the door. Today, Eriri dressed up specially. She was already as delicate as jade, and now she was even more stunning. The only flaw was the light dark circles under her eyes.
"Stay up late again?" Looking at Eriri, Yushan Kazuto asked.
"It's all because of you, Chojuwato." Yingli opened her mouth, revealing her fangs.
"Because you, Kowato, invited Eriri to a date, Eriri didn't sleep well all night!" Sayuri Sawamura walked out of the door and said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, Mom!" Eriri looked at Sayuri Sawamura and snorted in dissatisfaction.
But Eriri just couldn't explain. She couldn't tell Kazuto Hayama that May 4th was the final deadline for submission, and she must have been drawing the book overnight after receiving a call from Kazuto Hayama.
"Kowato, take good care of Eriri today! Make sure to satisfy Eriri's needs!"
Yushan Kazuto looked at Sayuri Sawamura, not knowing what to say, so he turned his attention to Eriri: "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Eriri murmured as she followed behind Yushan Kazuto.
"Let's go to Odaiba. There's a new electronics supermarket over there." The day before yesterday, when Yusan Kazuto and Yukinoshita Yukino were sitting in a cafe drinking tea, a grand opening event was being held at the electronics supermarket across the street.
"No, I'm going to Akihabara!" Eriri's face suddenly changed when she heard that she was going to Odaiba.
"Akihabara? Going to Akihabara to buy a mobile phone?" Yushan Kazuto looked at Eriri with a strange expression.
"Don't look down on Akihabara Electric Town!"
……
Akihabara, Yodobachi.
The mobile phone store of Yodobashi is very large, with a wide variety of mobile phones on display, which made Ying Lili's eyes almost light up.
I have to say that although Japanese mobile phones are not easy to use, they are still quite attractive just looking at their appearance.
"Hello, this phone is a limited edition Pokémon co-branded model! Look at the Pikachu on the phone. It perfectly matches the phone's biggest feature - super fast charging. It can support 30w ultra-large current charging and can be fully charged in one hour!"
"Take a look at this one, this is a special version of Cardcaptor Sakura! Even the startup animation is Sakura's transformation animation!"
There are many varieties of mobile phones in the store, and the sales pitch is hard to guard against. The ability to fool people is unique, which can be considered a certain feature of Akihabara.
Seeing that Eriri couldn't walk, Yushan Kazuto pulled her away and led her to the corner of the store.
"This phone, no, no, no, isn't it the one you use?" Ying Lili suddenly thought of something and began to stutter.
"Yeah, Aunt Sayuri said you like phones with large screens and long battery life. I think this one is pretty good."
Eriri didn't listen to what Yushan and the others were saying at all. Her cheeks were burning hot and one thought kept echoing in her mind:
[I’m going to use the same phone as Chou Heren, I’m going to use the same phone as Chou Heren…]
"Do you like this phone?" the clerk said.
Sensitive to business opportunities.
"This phone is our most popular model recently! It is the star product in the entire store!"
Yushan Heren was a little dumbfounded. This clerk was really a model of speaking without thinking. He was even promoting a main model. Would the main model be placed in this corner where no one cared about it?
"This model launched a new limited edition color last month - cherry blossom pink. Pink represents sweetness, gentleness and innocence, which is just right for this beautiful lady!"
I have to admit that the shop assistants in Akihabara are all very smart and know the psychology of customers. Even a person with a clear goal like Hayama Kazuto was fooled by her and bought a limited edition Sakura Pink model that is 10,000 yen more expensive than the ordinary model.
However, seeing how Eriri couldn't let go of the phone, Yushan Kazuto didn't feel any regrets. What's more, Sayuri Sawamura reimbursed the cost of the phone.
"Hey, Choheto, give me your phone." When they reached the intersection, Eriri suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yushan Kazuto handed the phone to Eriri, "Don't peek at my messages!"
"Wulusai, who would peek at your boring stuff?" Ying Lili pouted in dissatisfaction.
[You stinky guy, you must be hiding something from me and not letting me see it! ]
"The clerk said that my phone has a built-in cherry blossom effect when taking selfies. I want to compare the effects of the two phones."
“Then why don’t you just turn on the special effects and shoot once, then turn them off and shoot again.” Yushan Heren shrugged.
"Of course we have to take the photos at the same time to get the best comparison! Choheito is such an idiot!"
Eriri walked up to Hayama Kazuto.
"Look at the camera! Cheese!"
With a "click", the photo was frozen in the images of two mobile phones.
Chapter 45 UMR
Akihabara is not big. Originally, it was just a commercial street that was 400 meters wide from east to west and 800 meters long from north to south. Even though it has expanded a lot now, it only takes a dozen minutes to walk from the beginning to the end of the street.
Eriri followed behind Yushan Kazuto. She wanted to go into many stores, but in the end, after much consideration, she decided to give up.
Yushan Heren glanced at her from time to time, and although he felt a little strange, he didn't say anything.
After walking around for a while, the two returned to the center of Akihabara.
Although Eriri still had a happy expression on her face, Yushan Kazuto knew that Eriri was not enjoying herself enough.
Yushan Kazuto felt a little helpless. He felt that Eriri seemed to think too much about some things.
[We've known each other for so long, everyone knows that you're a little homebody. ]
The streets were crowded with people coming and going, and the most crowded place was the entrance of sofmap.
[By the way, didn’t Aki say that Eriri wanted to participate in sofmap’s event? ]
Although he didn't know where Tomoya Aki got the information, Kazuto Hayama thought it was somewhat credible. After all, in his impression, Eriri really liked this kind of thing. Considering that Eriri insisted on coming to Akihabara, Kazuto Hayama thought that Eriri might have come to participate in Sofmap's event.
"Eri, when I came here just now, I saw sofmap holding an event. It seemed to be some two-player video game competition. Do you want to go and take a look?" Yushan Kazuto asked.
"Ah?" Ying Lili didn't react for a moment, then raised her little face and said, "Chou, Chou and Ren, you still like to play video games. I can't help it, so I'll take you to play! Let me tell you, my video game skills are very high!"
Frankly speaking, Eriri is a bit of a braggart. Her video game skills are only above average. In Akihabara, where champions are everywhere and even the best are no match for the best, she can only be considered a beginner. Of course, she is still more than one level higher than the ultimate beginner like Yushan Kazuto who has only played "Need for Speed".
"Umr, who is it?" After registering, Eriri recalled the rules of the competition introduced by the clerk.
The rules specifically mention a player named umr. The winner of the competition will have the opportunity to challenge umr. If the challenge is successful, the final grand prize will be upgraded from a Hokkaido hot spring trip for two to a Hokkaido luxury hot spring trip for two. If the challenge fails, the reward will not change. It can be regarded as an entertainment activity.
"It seems that he is the holder of many records in this store." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Hey, Kazuto Choji, how did you know? Do you come to sofmap often?" Eriri looked at Kazuto Yuyama and said with some dissatisfaction.
"No, aren't there rankings next to many machines in the store?"
Only then did Ying Lili notice that, looking around, the top spot of at least dozens of machines was firmly occupied by an UMR ID. In fact, for the most exaggerated machines, the ten highest scores were all occupied by UMR!
"Who on earth is this UMR?" Ying Lili remembered that when she came to sofmap more than two months ago, she had not seen this name yet.
