If I can get 1,500 average subscriptions, I will be able to accumulate the strength to fight against authority. If I can get 2,000 average subscriptions... I will get 10,000 every day without any hesitation.
……
So, let's offer a reward here.
The maximum number of subscriptions is 500. For every additional 100 subscriptions, one chapter will be added. (Permanently valid)
More than 1500 chapters per day, 3 chapters guaranteed.

Chapter 80: Mysterious Guest?
"I won a lottery for a hot spring trip for two in Hokkaido, so I came here." Kato Megumi said in a relaxed tone.
Kong Ginko glanced at Kato Megumi and Yushan Kazuto, but she didn't have much doubt.
"Kong Yinzi, what are you doing? What party?" Yushan Heren put down the things in his hands, looked around and asked.
A folding fan came out in response. Yushan Heren was quick-witted and held the fan with two fingers to prevent it from hitting him: "Don't move. I bought a lot of fragile items."
Kong Yinzi put away the folding fan in dissatisfaction: "This is a three-day invitational tournament for the National Online Shogi League! It's not a party!"
"Oh." Yushan Kazuto shrugged. Whenever anything about shogi was mentioned, Sora Ginko was always extremely serious.
"Today seems to be the preliminary round, Yushan, are you participating in the competition?" Kong Yinzi looked at Yushan and others.
Yushan Kazuto was a little scared by her look: "Let's go back to the room and play. It's just three games anyway, right?"
"After putting your things in the room, come out and play chess. I'll supervise you!" Kong Yinzi said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, okay." Yushan Heren responded helplessly.
……
"Kato, you take a hot spring bath first. I'll go play a few games of chess and be back." Yushan Kazuto walked to the door holding a computer.
"I'll go with you, Yushan. I want to see how you play chess, Yushan." Kato Megumi also walked to the door.
"But didn't you say before that the sea breeze made you feel a little uncomfortable?" Yushan Kazuto looked at Kato Megumi.
"It's okay now." Kato Megumi said calmly.
Yushan Kazuto looked at Kato Megumi and saw nothing unusual: "Then it's up to you."
When they walked to the lobby, the invitational tournament hadn't started yet. Yushan Kazuto walked to where Sora Ginko was and placed the computer next to the chessboard: "When will the invitational tournament start?"
"Nine o'clock."
It was just past seven o'clock, and there were still nearly two hours until nine o'clock. Yushan and others sat down and opened the shogi software they had downloaded in advance.
The camera's indicator light lit up, capturing Yushan Kazuto, Sora Ginko, and Kato Megumi who was standing in the back playing with her phone.
“If three of us are in the same frame, it won’t be considered cheating, right?” Yushan and others pressed the search button for a match.
"No, the preliminary round review is not that strict."
Having said that, Kong Ginko still moved her body and left the camera's range, and Kato Megumi also walked aside silently.
Three minutes later, he finally found an opponent who had won two games in a row. He only needed to win one more game to advance to the promotion round. Unfortunately, he met Yushan Kazuto, so he could only play a few more games.
[Oh, I forgot to remind him.]
Kong Yinzi suddenly remembered something important and said quickly, "Hey, Yushan, remember to play chess slowly!"
Yushan Kazuto nodded. He was still clear about this kind of thing. Kato Megumi looked at Kong Ginko with some doubt: "Ginko, is Yushan fast?"
"It never took more than a second. It was so fast."
Yushan Kazuto was speechless after hearing this. "Please don't be so misleading, okay? Can't you just say a few more words when you communicate?"
Kuzuryuu Yaichi was sitting on a stool with a chess manual in his hand, flipping through it idly.
Hinazuru Ai poked her head out from the corridor, and immediately attracted the attention of Kuzuryuu Yaichi:
[What a cute loli! ]
Young Tsuru loved to blink, and light almost shone from her eyes.
Hinazuru Akina came out from behind her, followed by Nagasaki Akiya.
[Is she Mr. Nagasaki's granddaughter? ]
"Xiao Ai, guess who the mysterious guest is here?" Nagasaki Yatani smiled.
The aho hair on Hinazuruai's head jumped up and down. She walked to the center of the lobby with full of longing, looking around.
【Xiao Ai met a lot of people who looked very impressive. 】
Hinazuru Ai felt like she couldn't see enough.
Kuzuryu Yaichi sat up a little straighter, holding his head high. Although his recent record was not good, to be honest, he was indeed the only one with a title in the invitational tournament. He was the undisputed mysterious guest that Nagasaki Aya mentioned.
"Hey, it's big brother!" Hinazuru Ai suddenly noticed Yushan Kazuto behind the laptop and ran over excitedly.
"It's Xiao Ai." Yushan Heren glanced at Hinazuru Ai, yawned, and dropped a child.
"Big brother, can Xiao Ai watch you play chess next to me?" Hinazuru Ai asked expectantly.
"Whatever." Yushan Heren shook the cursor in boredom. The opponent's move speed was so slow that sometimes he couldn't place a move for even a minute.
Hinazuru Ai climbed up to Hayama Kazuto's seat, squeezed next to Hayama Kazuto, looked up at the computer screen.
The eyes of Kato Megumi and Sora Ginko flickered, and Yushan Kazuto only felt a chill on his back.
[The temperature control system of the Japanese hotel is still a bit poor. 】
Kuzuryuu Yaichi looked back, clenched the chess book in his hand, and turned his head back with some indignation.
Hinazuru Ai looked at the screen carefully, observing the moves of Yushan Kazuto. The more she watched, the more familiar she felt, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
[The older brother's chess playing style seems to be very similar to yshr9's. 】
Kong Yinzi stood behind him, also staring at Yushan Heren's screen intently.
[It seems like you are strolling in the garden, but in fact, there are murderous intentions everywhere. Yushan, your chess moves have improved again.
Step...】
In the forty-third move, Yushan Heren made a move that decided the outcome.
[Sure enough, Xiao Ai was not mistaken. Except for the fact that he was a little slower in making moves, the older brother’s chess playing style was exactly the same as yshr9’s! ]
Hinazuru Ai stood up somewhat shyly, stood on tiptoe, barely reached Yushan Kazuto's ear, and whispered, "Big brother, you are yshr9, right?"
Hinazuru Ai's voice was very soft, so soft that only Yushan Kazuto could hear it, and her actions were very intimate and seemed a little ambiguous.
This time, not only was there a chill behind him, but there were also cold currents coming from all directions. Yushan Heren finally discovered the problem.
"Sit still and don't move." Yushan Heren said stiffly.
"Then big brother, please answer Xiao Ai's question!" Hinazuru Ai sat down with a smile on her face.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, opened another game, thought about it, and finally nodded.
"Hehe, this is a secret between Xiao Ai and big brother. Xiao Ai will not tell anyone." Hinazuru Ai looked at Yushan Kazuto, blinked her eyes, and said proudly.
Kato Megumi and Sora Ginko took a step closer, and a materialized sense of oppression rose from their bodies, surging towards Yushan Kazuto like a tide.
[The mysterious guest that Grandpa Nagasaki mentioned must be the big brother. After all, only Xiao Ai discovered the identity of yshr9! ]
"Grandpa Nagasaki, the mysterious guest, Xiao Ai has been found!" Hinazuru Ai stood up and said loudly.
Chapter 81 Xiao Ai, come on
Nagasaki Aya looked at Hinazuru Ai, glanced at Kuzuryuu Yaichi, and walked forward: "So, Xiao Ai, tell me, who is the mysterious guest?"
"It's my big brother!" Hinazuru Ai raised her head proudly, with an expression that looked like she was waiting for praise.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi turned his head and stared at Yushan Kazuto.
Nagasaki Aya looked at Hinazuru Ai's cute appearance and couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he could only smile and said, "Xiao Ai is really smart!"
Hearing this, Kuzuryu Yaichi couldn't sit still. From the demeanor of Yushan Kazuto when playing chess, he could tell that Yushan Kazuto was definitely not a professional chess player, but at most an amateur level.
But it just so happened that an amateur chess player, Kazuto Hayama, not only felt at home in front of Sora Ginko, but also won the favor of Hinazuru Ai, and finally won the joking recognition of Nagasaki Aya, which made Kuzuryu Yaichi very unhappy.
[My master told me that I can just crush any obstacle that stands in my way.]
Yokoo Nishikatsu is not a decent person, otherwise he would not have been given the nickname "West Poison". Under the influence of his surroundings, Kuzuryuu Yaichi's character has become somewhat extreme and conceited.
[It just so happens that my chess playing skills have been a bit bad recently, so why not use this to bless it. ]
After getting the title of Dragon King, Kuzuryuu Yaichi's professional career took a sharp turn for the worse, and his win rate in professional games once dropped to 30%. If it were not for the fact that professional chess players did not have their ranks demoted, he would probably have been a sixth-dan chess player by now.
Thinking of this, Kuzuryuu Yaichi stood up, his wooden clogs clattering, and sat down opposite Yushan Kazuto.
"Masked man?" Hinazuru Ai looked up at Kuzuryuu Yaichi.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi was about to introduce himself, but Hinazuru Ai's next words stopped him from saying anything: "So ugly..."
Seeing Kuzuryuu Yaichi approaching, Kong Ginko could no longer stand still. She walked to Yushan Kazuto's side, looked at Kuzuryuu Yaichi, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Kong Yinzi, don't be anxious. Seeing an old friend like me, can't you be a little more friendly?"
"The voice is so unpleasant." Hinazuru Ai turned her head away and stopped looking at Kuzuryuu Yaichi.
For a moment, Kuzuryuu Yaichi had the urge to take off the mask and crush it with his foot.
"I don't have any friendship with you, just tell me what your purpose is."
"I was tired of sitting there, and I saw this gentleman playing chess. I felt itchy, so I wanted to come and play with him."
Yushan Kazuto finally raised his head and looked at Kuzuryuu Yaichi: "What an ugly Crow Tengu mask..."
Kato Megumi left the world of the phone and looked at Kuzuryuu Yaichi: "You are right, Yushan."
Kuzuryuu Yaichi was furious. This Tengu mask was something he had been choosing for three hours!
"Yushan won't play chess with you. You should go back to where you came from." Kong Yinzi said firmly.
"Ha~" Yushan Kazuto yawned again, "Actually, I think it's okay. I'm a little sleepy. But don't you have a game at nine o'clock?"
"Kong Yinzi, this gentleman has already agreed, so you should have no reason to stop him."
Kong Ginko moved her lips, wanting to reveal the identity of Kuzuryuu Yaichi, but Kuzuryuu Yaichi said coldly: "Don't forget the confidentiality requirements of the invitational tournament!"
Kong Yinzi blinked and bit her lip. When she signed the contract, she was a little confused about why she had to sign a confidentiality agreement. Only then did she realize that all the chess players except her had hidden their identities.
"It's half past seven now, and there's still an hour and a half until nine o'clock. That should be plenty of time for the next quick game."
"OK then."
Kong Yinzi finally felt relieved and said without modesty that Yushan Heren's skills in fast chess were unparalleled in the world.
Yushan Kazuto nodded, stood up, and walked to another chess board.
"Can I borrow a table, please?"
Sitting on the chessboard, the chess player wearing a flamingo headgear turned his head to look at Yushan Kazuto. What was he going to do by borrowing the table?
Yushan and others put two tables together and moved the stool to the middle of the two tables. There was a computer on one side and a chess board on the other side.
Kuzuryuu Yaichi was furious. How could he not see that? Yushan Kazuto was preparing to fight one against two!
