Chapter 474
After chatting briefly.
Natsume Chikage immediately found an excuse and took his leave.
Sawada Rika's mouth twitched slightly as she watched his back as he left without any attachment.
She only felt in her heart that this guy is truly—
Others would give anything to chat with her for a few more moments.
She hadn't even gotten to the main point, and he had already left?
Such a precious exposure opportunity, and he really doesn't want it?
You just broke the tournament record, and with this face, a little interview editing.
And then finding a team to operate it simply, you could probably become a small internet celebrity in the shogi world, and easily profit from traffic and tips in the future.
Sawada Rika thought of this and was suddenly startled—
Almost forgot, Natsume Chikage is just a high school student and probably doesn't understand the ways of this vanity fair.
If he knew the stakes, he would never have left so decisively.
Next time.
Next time, find an opportunity to have a good chat with him.
When she was young, had she ever had such an opportunity?
If she had had such conditions back then, she would have already risen to the top.
Now is the era of internet celebrities.
What a female host earns in half a lifetime of hard work might not be as much as what an internet celebrity earns in one year of explosive popularity.
Thinking of this, she shook her head gently and turned her gaze to the next interview target.
And after Natsume Chikage left, he didn't stop.
He remembered that he should go and collect the "bet" he had won.
Soon.
He arrived at the storage room.
The lighting here was cold and slightly quiet.
The referee, Kishida Mineisuke, and Tanabe Yuto had been waiting here for a long time.
Kishida Mineisuke, as the notary, had a solemn expression and spoke in a low voice:
"According to the previous agreement."
"After Contestant Natsume wins, Contestant Tanabe must hand over that 'double-heads coin' to you as agreed."
"Now—"
"It is time to fulfill the bet."
Tanabe Yuto didn't say much and took the coin directly from his pocket.
He flicked it with his thumb.
The coin drew a short arc in the air and fell towards Natsume Chikage.
"Here."
Natsume Chikage raised his hand and caught it steadily.
When his fingertips touched the cool metal surface of the coin, a hint of irrepressible joy flashed across his brow.
Almost simultaneously.
A line of pale blue text that only he could see appeared in his field of vision:
【You have obtained ownership of this special equipment; would you like to register it?】
【Yes/No】
Natsume Chikage's heart moved, and he chose "Yes" without hesitation.
【You have successfully registered the 'double-heads coin'; would you like to equip it?】
【Yes/No】
He pondered slightly.
The special effect of this coin is to make the result of any coin toss turn into heads.
As far as the present is concerned, it seems to have no direct use.
But curiosity eventually prevailed.
He chose "Yes," wanting to verify for himself whether this effect was as magical as described.
【You have successfully equipped the 'double-heads coin'!】
The moment the equipment was completed, there was no special physical sensation.
This was also expected—after all, it needs to be actually tossed to show the effect.
Immediately after.
Another prompt appeared:
【You have obtained 1 attribute point!】
【To reach the next attribute point reward, you still need to collect three special pieces of equipment.】
Seeing this line of text.
A strong joy suddenly surged in Natsume Chikage's heart.
The attribute point he craved most was finally in his hands again!
This means he can strengthen himself again.
But this is definitely not the time to use it.
Every time he improves his attributes, his body will undergo obvious changes and anomalies.
