On the other hand, after entering the game "Hikaru no Go", Uemura Tairyu planned to stake out Chen Anxia again around the Zishui Go Club.
This time, Uemura Tairyu wants to use Chen Anxia to verify the mechanism of triggering the mission on Chen Anxia.
Uemura Tairyu couldn't understand why the rewards for the two time-limited missions were so different.
The only explanation that Uemura Tairyu can think of right now is that the time-limited missions are also divided into levels, and the higher the level, the higher the reward.
But if that's the case, what's the basis for classifying time-limited tasks?
The conventional thinking that "the higher the difficulty of the task, the higher the level" was first rejected by Yasutaka Uemura.
Because no matter how you look at it, the second timed mission will be more difficult than the first timed mission.
Uemura Tairyu also knew that to find the answer to this problem, he needed to start with Chen Anxia.
This time, however, Uemura Tairyu spent the entire morning waiting, but he couldn't find Chen Anxia anywhere.
However, Yasutaka Uemura will not give up. For a seasoned game reviewer, patience is an essential quality.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and another two hours passed.
Although Uemura Tairyu still hadn't found Chen Anxia, he did discover that Touya Akira had entered the Zishui Go Club.
It was only then that Uemura Tairyu remembered that he had accepted a random quest from Touya Akira.
Uemura Tairyu has not yet checked the rewards for this random mission.
The reason I haven't checked it yet is because the shock that Touya Meijin brought to Uemura Yasutaka that day caused him to overlook the matter.
In addition, Uemura Tairyu had previously accepted many random missions and knew that the rewards for random missions were mostly currency and items in the "Hikaru no Go" game, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Since there was nothing else to do, Uemura Tairyu accessed the system records to see what the mission rewards were.
'Task Reward: 10 Go Soul Points...'
The moment he saw the system record, Uemura Tairyu's pupils contracted sharply, an incredulous look flashed across his face, and he murmured in surprise, "The random quest I accepted from him also rewards me with Hikaru no Go points?"
"Could it be that 'Hikaru no Go' is a game with multiple protagonists, and besides the boy named Chen Anxia, the green-haired boy named Touya Akira is also one of the protagonists?"
"Or is Akira Touya just an important supporting character in the game 'Hikaru no Go'?"
"Come to think of it, this Akira Touya is the son of Meijin Touya, isn't he..."
As he spoke, an undisguised look of excitement flashed across Uemura Tairyu's face.
This discovery was truly a pleasant surprise.
Without the slightest hesitation, Uemura Tairyu followed Toya Akira directly into the Shisui Go Club.
Although he couldn't catch up with Chen Anxia, Uemura Tairyu thought it was feasible to verify the mechanism of triggering the mission on Touya Akira.
Upon entering the Zishui Go Club, Uemura Tairyu saw Touya Akira asking Ichikawa Harumi, "Harumi-nee, have they arrived?"
Harumi Ichikawa knew that Akira Touya was referring to Hikaru Shindo and Anxia Chen when he said "they," so she gently shook her head and replied, "They didn't come."
As she spoke, Harumi Ichikawa told Akira Touya what had happened yesterday, and then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, that kid named Chen Anxia will most likely not come to the club again."
"I see..." Akira Touya replied, looking disappointed.
At the same moment, a quest pop-up appeared in front of Uemura Tairyu's eyes, which read, "Random Quest: Guide Touya Akira and Chen Anxia to meet. (Available)"
"Important Note: Once Akira Touya finds Chen Anxia on his own, the mission will immediately fail!"
Uemura Tairyu's face lit up when he first discovered that the mission had been triggered, but after reading the details of the mission, his face fell and he almost swore.
If he could find Chen Anxia, Uemura Tairyu would have gone to find him long ago; he wouldn't have chosen such a clumsy method as staking out.
According to Yasutaka Uemura, completing this task really depends on one's character and luck.
Of course, even though that's what I think, I still have to accept this task.
The failure of the mission had no impact on Uemura Tairyu.
Furthermore, Uemura Tairyu was also fantasizing that if he were to actually have a stroke of good luck, wouldn't he be able to complete the mission?
......
Chapter 38: Game GG, the name of San San!
After accepting the mission, Uemura Tairyu began to think about how to complete it.
No matter how much Uemura Tairyu thought about it, the only method he could come up with was the clumsy and unsophisticated one: to wait and wait.
Since the mission requires guiding Akira Touya and Anxia Chen to meet, both Akira Touya and Anxia Chen are indispensable.
Even if Uemura Tairyu is lucky enough to find Chen Anxia, the mission still cannot be completed if Touya Akira leaves.
Therefore, it would be better to lie in wait near Akira Touya and wait for Chen Anxia to arrive.
As for whether the mission can be completed, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.
At this moment, Harumi Ichikawa and Akira Toya also spotted Yasutaka Uemura.
Although Harumi Ichikawa has cleared up her misunderstanding of Yasutaka Uemura and no longer thinks he is a pervert.
However, Harumi Ichikawa still had a very bad impression of Yasutaka Uemura because what Yasutaka Uemura said was really awful in Harumi Ichikawa's eyes.
However, Harumi Ichikawa still dutifully asked, "Are you here to play Go?"
Uemura Tairyu didn't care about Ichikawa Harumi's attitude.
After all, in Uemura Tairyu's eyes, Ichikawa Harumi was just a game NPC.
He shook his head slightly, and then Uemura Tairyu replied, "I'm not going to play now. I plan to take a look at other people's games first."
Harumi Ichikawa didn't seem to mind, saying, "Then feel free to look around. Come find me when you want to play chess."
As she spoke, Harumi Ichikawa seemed to have thought of something and earnestly said to Tairyu Uemura, "By the way, you must be careful not to disturb their match."
Uemura Tairyu nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.
Seeing this, Harumi Ichikawa ignored Yasutaka Uemura and turned her attention to Akira Toya.
Seeing Akira Touya's undisguised disappointment, Harumi Ichikawa couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.
Suddenly, Harumi Ichikawa seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Akira Touya with some anticipation, asking, "By the way, Akira, do you remember the online Go I told you about last time?"
"The Go website has been upgraded and maintained today. It not only adds very user-friendly features but also optimizes the user's gaming experience. Would you like to take a look?"
Clearly, Harumi Ichikawa was trying to distract Akira Touya.
Harumi Ichikawa also succeeded.
Before this, Akira Toya had only heard Harumi Ichikawa mention online Go, but had never actually played it before, so he was very curious about it.
With a hint of interest in his expression, Touya nodded and replied, "Okay, then I'll trouble Harumi-nee."
Harumi Ichikawa smiled knowingly upon seeing this, and then began operating the desktop computer on the counter.
Uemura Tairyu, who was standing nearby, was also a little curious and couldn't help but move closer to see how Ichikawa Harumi operated it.
In Yasutaka Uemura's world, technology has advanced to the point of creating fully immersive virtual games.
For Yasutaka Uemura, the internet and computers of the era depicted in "Hikaru no Go" are absolute antiques, so it's no wonder that he's curious about them.
Harumi Ichikawa and Akira Toya also noticed Yasutaka Uemura, but neither of them paid any attention to him.
Soon, Harumi Ichikawa logged onto the Go website and began introducing the website's information to Akira Touya, including the online Go mode.
Then, under the curious gazes of Akira Toya and Yasutaka Uemura, Harumi Ichikawa said with a smile, "Akira, let me demonstrate a game for you now."
As she spoke, Harumi Ichikawa moved her mouse, clicked on the amateur players section, and selected a match.
Approximately 3 seconds later, the website system displayed a successful match.
The website then redirected to the game interface.
Upon seeing this, Harumi Ichikawa pointed to the upper right corner of the screen and said, "This is my basic information, including username, rank, win rate, and so on."
As she spoke, Harumi Ichikawa pointed to the bottom right corner of the screen and said, "Correspondingly, this is the opponent's basic information."
As she spoke, Harumi Ichikawa carefully examined the opponent's basic information in the lower right corner of the screen, and continued, "Let me take a look. My opponent this time has the username 'GG', and his rank is... Novice!?"
At this moment, Harumi Ichikawa looked somewhat surprised.
According to the website's upgrade announcement, I should have been matched with opponents of similar skill level in the amateur section, so why was I matched with a novice?
Subconsciously, Harumi Ichikawa turned her gaze to GG's win rate.
Upon seeing this, Harumi Ichikawa's expression became somewhat relieved, but she still looked surprised, muttering to herself, "100% win rate, and it's a fourteen-game winning streak, so this game should be his promotion game."
"But when I played a promotion match this morning, I was matched with newbies too. What's going on?"
"Is it because my win rate is too high? Or is it because I've only just been promoted to amateur level...?"
From the perspective of Uemura Tairyu and Touya Akira, all they saw was Ichikawa Harumi jumping around in surprise and talking to herself, completely unaware of what was wrong with her.
On the other side, Chen Anxia, whose mental strength had returned to its peak, once again began his online Go battles.
Looking at her opponent, Chen Anxia murmured softly, "Sun, Amateur Rank 1, Win Rate 75%..."
As she spoke, Chen Anxia's eyes lit up slightly, a look of anticipation flashing across her face. She continued, "I didn't expect to be matched with a user from the amateur section this time..."
"Interesting. Let me see the skill level of the amateur players. I hope they won't disappoint me..."
Then, a pop-up window appears, and the two players begin guessing whether the game will end in odd or even.
Chen Anxia guessed an even number, and the final result was also an even number.
This means that Chen Anxia will play black and make the first move in this game.
In an era without komi (money points), playing black first has a significant advantage.
However, in the era of komi, playing black first no longer has an advantage, and for black to win, the number of points on the board must be at least six more than white's.
This puts considerable pressure on Chen Anxia, who is unaware of his opponent's skill level.
However, this is exactly what Chen Anxia wanted to do.
Chen Anxia knew very well that only under pressure could he truly see the upper limit of his current chess skills.
As he was thinking, Chen Anxia's gaze sharpened, and a very faint aura flowed around him.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia moved the mouse, intending to place a piece in the star position in the upper right corner.
During this process, Chen Anxia once again entered a state of enlightenment regarding chess.
