Chapter 110: What a pity! (Third update!)

Tsukasa Fukuda and his peers within the circle likewise dedicate over ten hours every day to studying shogi, never ceasing through the heat of summer or the cold of winter.

However, even if they put in equal effort, the chasm between them and professional players is still like a natural moat, unreachable, and they don't even have the qualification to touch the other's clothes.

This world is sometimes just that cruel.

The barrier of lack of talent cannot be crossed just by hard work.

Therefore, Fukuda Si sincerely didn't want to encounter professional players too early.

He clearly recognized his own strength positioning, and the goal of this trip was clear—to abuse vegetables for fun and earn some extra money, that's all.

At least before advancing to the fourth round, he prayed not to run into those monsters.

Looking around the venue, besides those professional players, he also identified many familiar Promotion Society members.

Currently, it seems that only these people with considerable strength can remain calm, while most other participants are overly nervous, looking like "weak chickens".

However, it's fine for people with strength to be calm, but why can Natsume Chikage and Gu Chuan Caixu, these two obvious newcomer rookies, also be so calm?

Fukuda Si couldn't figure it out, and finally could only attribute it to "the ignorant are fearless".

Just at this time, a small commotion suddenly broke out in the competition field.

The reason is none other than Ming Zhi Cang Wu and Ri Ye Bo Zai—these two players, both professional four-dan, dramatically became first-round opponents in the completely random draw.

Ming Zhi Cang Wu and Ri Ye Bo Zai looked at each other, and both read thick helplessness and bitterness in each other's eyes.

This luck is simply bad enough to make people speechless.

For players at their level, encountering opponents of equal strength too early means that one of them is destined to stop in the first round.

This is only the first round! ===== CHAPTER 111 =====
