Chapter 788

Accompanied by her passionate announcement, the atmosphere in the venue was completely ignited.

The audience looked forward to it, discussing it in whispers.

Everyone wanted to know how these final four would collide.

Is it the dark horse Natsume Chikage who has been creating miracles?

Is it the gifted quasi-professional teenager Suzuki Takayuki?

Or is it the experienced professional chess players Ishida Kazuo and Yidong Haoyi?

The suspense was about to be revealed.

Just at this moment,

the clear broadcast sound resounded through the hall again.

【The match is about to begin, please the four contestants of the fifth round, first match, second battle, follow the staff's guidance and immediately go to the center of the venue to gather!】

【Repeat, please the four contestants, gather immediately!】

The sound echoed.

Natsume Chikage and Suzuki Takayuki not far away stood up from their seats almost at the same time.

Under the gaze of Furukawa Masahiro and the others, who were either encouraging, worried, or expectant,

the two walked one after the other toward the passage leading to the center of the arena again.

Their steps were steady, but their gazes were already cast toward that final battlefield.

They soon arrived again in front of that row of familiar metal lockers.

The cold locker doors had a matte texture under the lights.

Suzuki Takayuki moved quickly, with an impatient eagerness, stuffing his mobile phone, key ring, and other sundries into the locker with a few "clangs," and closed the locker door hard.

Natsume Chikage, on the other hand, remained unhurried, taking out his personal belongings in an orderly manner.

However,

just as he put his wallet into the locker and was about to close the door—

the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at the locker Suzuki Takayuki had just closed.

Through the tiny gap where the locker door had not completely closed,

he clearly saw that Suzuki Takayuki's dark brown leather wallet, which was casually thrown on top of the sundries, was emitting an extremely faint, milky-white halo of light, soft like moonlight, which only he could see.

At the same time,

a few lines of text with the same faint light quietly appeared in the void above the wallet.

【Leather Wallet】

【Quality: White】

【Effect: After equipping, the money that belongs to you can be stored and taken out at will.】

【Introduction: He loves her, she loves him, he hopes he loves her.】

Deep in Natsume Chikage's eyes, a trace of extremely subtle surprise and secret joy flashed suddenly.

He really didn't expect

that this Suzuki Takayuki...

actually also held a piece of special equipment.

Not long ago, he had just harvested a precious free attribute point because he had collected three pieces of equipment.

He was exactly three pieces of equipment away from activating the next attribute point reward.

If there was a suitable opportunity...

he naturally would not let it go easily! ===== CHAPTER 789 =====
