Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Therefore, although Hikaru Shindo could not truly understand the game, he still gained a lot of insights from it.

In addition, Fujiwara Sai also provided guidance to Hikaru Shindo during the game, allowing Hikaru to gain more insights.

At the same time, through this game, Fujiwara Sai also confirmed that Yu Zhengyan possesses professional-level Go skills.

Furthermore, this game of Go also gave Fujiwara no Sai a lot of insights.

Fujiwara Sai knew that once he had digested these insights, his Shusaku style would be able to advance further and become more in line with the current era.

Just as Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara were processing their messages, Yu Zhengyan's private message popped up on the computer screen, attracting their attention.

However, because Yu Zhengyan's private messages were edited in English, neither Shindo Hikaru nor Fujiwara Sai could understand them.

However, in Yu Zhengyan's private messages, Hikaru Shindo saw a familiar word: 'GG'.

The reason why Hikaru Shindo felt it was familiar was because in previous games, many opponents mentioned 'GG' in private messages after the game ended.

Previously, Hikaru Shindo had not paid any attention to these private messages and had not replied to them.

However, now, in a private message sent by Yu Zhengyan, who has professional Go skills, the word 'GG' was mentioned, which made Hikaru Shindo take notice.

After thinking for a moment, Hikaru Shindo asked his father, who was resting at home on the weekend, to come over.

After explaining the situation to his father, Hikaru Shindo's father looked at the private message and translated, "He's asking if you're gay."

Upon hearing this, Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding why Yu Zhengyan would ask such a question.

Then, as if remembering something, Hikaru Shindo pulled out the private messages sent by his previous opponents and asked his father to continue translating them.

Hikaru Shindo's father didn't think much of it and started translating line by line.

However, during the translation process, both Hikaru Shindo's father and Hikaru Shindo and Fujiwara Sai showed expressions of astonishment.

Finally, after translating the last private message, Hikaru Shindo's father couldn't help but ask, "Hikaru, who is this guy? Why is everyone asking if you're a guy?"

Hikaru Shindo looked blank and shook his head, replying, "I don't know, and I don't know this guy either."

Upon seeing this, Hikaru Shindo's father pondered deeply and then said, "Judging from the current situation, GG should also be a user on the online Go platform."

"And there are some similarities between GG and you that might be why you were mistaken for each other."

Upon hearing this, Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara exchanged a glance and communicated in their minds.

Sai, has something come to mind?

"The only things that can be mistaken by other players are their chess principles and playing style. If GG really does resemble me in some ways, then it's very likely that GG also uses the Shusaku style, and has mastered it to a considerable degree."

'So, does that mean GG is the successor to Honinbo Shusaku?'

'I don't know, but Torajiro did take on some apprentices back then...'

Meanwhile, on her way back to the inter-school Go league venue, Kurozuki Ryoko sent a message to her teacher, Tengen Dosuke, through the Truth Super Brain.

......

Chapter 169 The Protagonist's Talent, Mindset, and Consciousness! (First Update, Please Subscribe)

The world of players.

Takashi Takashi, now 20 years old, is already a professional 6-dan Go player.

At this moment, Takashima Takashi is playing a guidance game with his teacher, Tengen Michiya.

Because it was a master-apprentice instructional game, the atmosphere during the game was not overly serious or solemn.

After Tengen Dosai placed a piece, drawing out a weakness in Takashi Takashi's game, Takashi Takashi fell into deep thought, beginning to consider a way to break the deadlock.

Seeing this, Tengen Doji did not urge him, but waited silently.

During this process, Tengen Dosai received a message from Kurozuki Ryoko.

Without much thought, Tengen Dosai opened the message sent by Kurozuki Ryoko.

Upon opening this message, Tengen Dosai saw a message from Kurozuki Ryoko that read, "Teacher, I just played a game against Chen Anxia and discovered that Chen Anxia is actually able to apply your chess principles..."

In the message sent by Kurozuki Ryoko, she briefly described her game against Chen Anxia and also attached the game record.

After reading the message sent by Kurozuki Ryoko, Tengen Dosai couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

As for Chen Anxia, ​​the game NPC, Tianyuan Daozai would naturally know about her.

After all, the Three Tribulations of the Ages were created by Chen Anxia.

However, Tengen Dozai did not expect that Chen Anxia would be able to apply his chess principles.

Moreover, judging from Kurozuki Ryoko's words, Chen Anxia seems to have grasped the core of his own chess theory.

This seems rather unbelievable.

In his heart, Tengen Michiya couldn't help but mutter to himself, 'Could it be that Chen Anxia's character is based on himself?'

'Even so, how could Chen Anxia possibly grasp my chess principles, or even the core of them?'

'Did the Truth Superbrain deduce this by collecting my data?'

With many questions in mind, Tengen Dosai opened the game record of Chen Anxia and Kurozuki Ryoko.

Meanwhile, in Tengen Dozai's mind, a virtual chessboard unfolded, with black and white chess pieces constantly appearing on it, reviewing the game records and positions.

Even in the initial setup stage of a game, when the game has just begun, Tengen Dosai's skill makes it easy for him to see the similarities, or even the sameness, in the principles of Chen Anxia and Kurozuki Ryoko.

However, Tengen Dozai already knew all this, so he remained calm and continued to review the game on the virtual chessboard in his mind.

Because it's a game of mind-based Go, Tengen Dozai was able to review the game very quickly.

During the review, Tengen Dosai could also see that although Chen Anxia and Kurozuki Ryoko shared the same principles of Go, both of which came from him, Chen Anxia's mastery of the game was clearly superior to Kurozuki Ryoko's.

Moreover, based on Chen Anxia's demonstrated skill and understanding of the game, Tengen Dozai deduced that Chen Anxia at this point already possessed strength comparable to a professional first dan.

Even Chen Anxia's demonstrated strength was at an upper level among the early professional stages.

This fact further perplexed Tengen Dosai, making him even more confused as to how Chen Anxia had mastered such a level of Go theory.

If the Truth Superbrain is indeed operating behind the scenes, then the talent settings of the game character Chen Anxia are extraordinary.

It is highly likely that Chen Anxia, ​​who possesses such talent, is the protagonist of the game "Hikaru no Go".

At the same time, a question arose in Tengen Dozai's mind.

That is, if Chen Anxia is allowed to grow, will he be able to reach a level comparable to his own?

The reason why Tengen Dozai had this doubt was because of the power of the Truth Superbrain. This power gave the Truth Superbrain too many uncertainties that humans could not predict.

Amidst the confusion, the post-game analysis finally entered its final stage.

Chen Anxia and Kurozuki Ryoko's endgame skills were on full display in the eyes of Tengen Dosai at this stage.

Seemingly sensing something, Tengen Dosai's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but exclaim softly, "How is this possible!?"

Tengen Doya's somewhat out-of-control soft exclamation startled Takashi Takashi, who was deep in thought.

Upon seeing Tengen Michiya's appearance, Takashima Takashi was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what happened?"

However, at this moment, Tengen Dosai ignored Takashima Takashi and instead looked at the game on the virtual chessboard in his mind, watching Chen Anxia's endgame skills, his mind trembling violently.

Because Tengen Dozai saw his own unique way of thinking and consciousness in Chen Anxia's endgame skills.

It is important to understand that every chess player's thinking and awareness are different. Even players who have mastered the same chess principles will have different thinking and awareness.

However, Tengen Dozai saw his own unique way of thinking and consciousness in Chen Anxia's endgame skills, which was bound to shock him.

If the principles of chess can be explained as the operation of a super brain of truth behind the scenes, then thought and consciousness cannot be explained by the super brain of truth.

Because human thought and consciousness are too complex, even an AI of the level of Truth Superbrain cannot accurately simulate or replicate them.

This fact also made Tengen Michiya begin to doubt the game "Hikaru no Go," and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is the game 'Hikaru no Go' really just a game?"

"Chen Anxia...is she a character setting, or...?"

Takashima heard Tengen Doya's murmurs. Although he still didn't know what had happened, he at least knew that what had made Tengen Doya look like this was the recently popular Go game "Hikaru no Go", and... Chen Anxia.

Takashima knew that Chen Anxia was probably an NPC in the game "Hikaru no Go", but he didn't know what kind of magic Chen Anxia possessed that could make Tengen Doya lose his composure like this.

In his heart, Takashi Takashi murmured softly, 'Chen Anxia...'

'Looks like I'll have to find some time to check out the Hikaru no Go game...'

'I remember my junior sister seems to have been focusing on the Hikaru no Go game lately...'

The world of Hikaru no Go.

Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara both remembered the name GG and followed him on the online Go platform, planning to invite him to play a game when he came online.

After that, Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara continued their conquest of the world of online Go.

On the other hand, although the game between Sai and Proyu has ended, its impact is only just beginning.

The online Go players who watched the game recorded the game score and it began to circulate in the online Go community, hoping to see if anyone could identify the players and their true identities, Sai and Proyu, from the game score.

As the game records spread, someone finally recognized Proyu's true identity through them.

A storm followed.

Moreover, this storm was not limited to the online Go community, but also spread rapidly to the real-world Go community.

Chapter 170 Who exactly is Sai? (Second update, please subscribe!)

The world of online Go.

"I heard that Proyu is a professional Go player."

"Really? Professional Go players also play online Go games?"

"So, does that mean Sai, who beat Proyu, is also a professional Go player?"

“If they are professional players, then Sai and Proyu’s winning streaks can be understood.”

"Proyu is registered in South Korea, and Sai is registered in Japan. Are there any professional Go players in these two countries who are similar to them?"

"Wait, what about GG? Is GG also a professional Go player?"

"Oh my god, breaking news! Proyu is actually Yoo Jung-yeon, a professional 7-dan Go player from South Korea!!"
