What a loud tone.

Luo Chen stopped teasing and pouted, saying, "Let's get down to business first. Do you have a lot of interviews? If so, please reduce the number, otherwise I'm afraid my brain won't be able to answer your overly complicated questions."

Machi, the servant, seemed to mutter something about being a coward, then straightened her expression and gave a standard smile.

Without a doubt, these are the most basic skills required of a top journalist in the world of shogi.

Camera on!

"Hello~ Luo Chenjun, welcome, welcome. It's an honor to have this opportunity to interview you today. Please say hello to everyone?"

The photographer, Manji, smiled broadly as he entered the frame, and Luo Chen was also captured in the shot.

Luo Chen finished the last bite of noodles, wiped his mouth, and smiled, "Hello everyone."

"Hi~! Arigato~!"

"Well, Luo Chenjun, everyone is actually quite interested in your battle today. It was an unexpected start and an unexpected ending, so I have two questions I'd like to ask you."

"What are your thoughts on your proud front-board block being broken by Jiaming Shengguang, a sixth-dan player?"

Manji, the one who was serving the imperial meal, asked with a smile.

Luo Chen took a bite of the pickled vegetables and replied, "I don't have much to say about it, because the early game blockade is not my ultimate move. It's just an interesting little trick that can speed up the end of the game."

"Huh? Since you say that, can I boldly speculate that the front-game blockade is a trick you use to crush noobs?" Gong Yufan Manzhi grinned mischievously.

Luo Chen's expression turned serious, and he retorted, "Does Miss Hu really view other chess players in this way? I cannot agree with that, and I hope that Miss Hu can truly respect every professional chess player."

Gongmiwan Wanzhi: "???"

This interview was undoubtedly broadcast live. At the beginning, there weren't many viewers, but now it's incredibly popular!

Upon hearing this 5.3 dan, coupled with the unexpected and stunned expression on Gogohan Machi's face, the Go fans in the live stream burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"Such sharp words, young master." /Smirking

"Mr. Hu was speechless after being retorted! It's hilarious!"

"As expected of the president of the JS Research Club, his eloquence and talent are unmatched, even surpassing Mr. Ku, the most outstanding player in the world of shogi. /Evil grin"

"666! But young master, please, please let Mr. Hu go! He looks so pitiful!"

"But isn't he really cute? Mr. Hu is so adorable!!"

"So this guy is actually quite witty? Damn it, I can't hold back anymore! From today onwards, my idol is Luo Chenjun!!"

"+1!"

"+1+1!"

"Raise your hand! Me too!!"

"...".

Chapter 97 She took off her shoes and kicked me!

After recovering, Manji glanced at the live interview comments and breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the camera's distance, she glared fiercely at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen pretended not to see it and continued eating the cold side dishes with his head down.

Yugomi Manchi had no choice but to ask the second question, saying, "What is your opinion on Kanai Seikō 6-dan's resignation? It was only a short time into the middle game, and he resigned on move 128. Could you briefly tell us the reason behind that?"

Luo Chen stopped eating and said, "About this, well, I think it's probably because Senior Jiaming Shengguang wanted to let me win, thinking that I might be a promising talent."

puff!

Machi almost lost her composure, especially when she saw the screen full of question marks in the live stream, which made her even more speechless.

He took off his shoes under the table and lightly kicked Luo Chen, reminding him to be serious.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Hu kicked me just now. To avoid any danger to my life later, I'll answer again."

Luo Chen raised his hands.

The chess fans watching the live interview burst into laughter again, thoroughly enjoying Luo Chen's humor, and the barrage of comments refreshed at an unprecedented rate.

Yugomi Manji gently covered 02's forehead and sighed, "Lou Chen-jun really likes to frame people too much. Please don't take it seriously, but everyone really wants to know the real answer."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "There are only three reasons why a player might concede defeat: they are physically unwell and can't continue, they are too weak to continue, or they discover something terrifying that might happen and they dare not continue... As for which one it is, I'm sorry, perhaps you shouldn't have asked me that question."

Classic, answering is equivalent to not answering at all.

The people in the live interview and the food vendor all rolled their eyes again.

But whatever.

As a seasoned reporter, Yuhan Manzhi knew that this was about all there was to it; asking any further questions would be pointless for Luo Chen to say anything more.

And so! The grand finale is here!

Recalling the live message he had just received, Yuuhan Manji said with a smile, "Well, Luo Chen-kun, thank you very much for today's interview. Now, there's one last question left."

Luo Chen blinked, his eyes questioning, "What the hell? How come there are still more? Wasn't that the last one?"

Yugomi Machi smiled and responded with her eyes: "Relax, it's just that I happened to think of one just now."

Luo Chen pinched his temple and lowered his head to continue eating the pickled vegetables.

Yugohan Manji asked with a smile, "We received news that just now, Kana Ikumitsu, a 6th dan, revealed some very interesting inside information in an interview. He said that Luo Chenjun is the most likely to reach the Dragon King Challenge. What are Luo Chenjun's thoughts on this?"

Yoho!

This is indeed a very important question; it hits the nail on the head regarding what everyone cares about most.

During the live interview, many people shouted "Long live Mr. Hu!"

Luo Chen pouted and asked, "So, the core of this question is that you want to know my true strength?"

Gong Yufan Manzhi covered his mouth and said, "Perhaps, maybe? I wonder if Lord Luo Chen would like to reveal something?"

Luo Chen said, "A rigid answer is too boring, so why don't I set a flag here?"

"Huh?" Machi blinked.

Luo Chen licked his lips and said, "In the upcoming matches, whether official or private, I will not lose a single one."

"ah??……"

Manji, the servant, wore a terrified expression.

The chess fans in the live interview were all shocked, their mouths agape, their faces showing expressions of disbelief, as if they had misheard.

And just then, snap! The live stream was cut off.

The live interview on "Shogi World" went black, but the tens of thousands of shogi fans gathered there couldn't stay calm no matter what.

Even with the screen black, the screen is still filled with comments!

"My God, what did I just hear?"

He said they wouldn't lose a single game from now on?

"The scariest thing is that there's a prefix that doesn't refer to a specific competition, but rather to all official and private matches in general."

"Isn't this too scary?"

"What an exaggerated tone! Although it exudes confidence, I also feel that this guy is a bit too arrogant, and perhaps even too conceited?"

"Too? I think we should use a different word. This young master of Adachi Ward isn't just arrogant, he's extremely arrogant!"

"He's already spouting such arrogant words. Isn't he afraid of being proven wrong later? It would be very embarrassing if that happened."

"I don't know, I have absolutely no idea, but all I do know is that I'm really looking forward to the Dragon King's challenge against the Nine-Headed Dragon King."

"Tch! I'm starting to dislike this arrogant guy, so I'd like to say that he might not even make it into the Dragon King Challenge!"

"What's wrong? Just because I was a little arrogant, you're going to hate me? Who do you think you are? I think Luo Chenjun will definitely win!"

"So obsessed with that guy, you're not from Adachi Ward, are you?"

"So you're getting all angry and embarrassed, you wouldn't happen to be from Kiyose City, would you?"

"Damn it!"

"Hey, stop arguing! The Shogi League just updated the rankings after this morning's matches. The young master of Adachi Ward has officially been promoted to professional 5-dan!!"

"Of course~"

"After all, he defeated Kanai Ikko."

"But speaking of which, shouldn't this be the first player to achieve a rank advancement in this year's [Dragon King Tournament]? Adachi Ward, Luo Chen!"

……

...

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Inside the ramen shop, Machi Gohan coughed incessantly, the kind of cough that just wouldn't stop.

"Hey, are you alright?" Luo Chen asked with concern, handing over a tissue.
