Chapter 1

That year, Chen Anya was 22 years old, in the prime of his life, having just graduated from university, and was planning to make a splash in society.

That year, Chen Anya's golden finger arrived late, and an extremely unreliable system awakened.

Why is it called an extremely unreliable system?

Because as soon as the system awakened, there was no warning, and it gave Chen Anya no choice. It directly transported Chen Anya to the world of *Hikaru no Go* and made him an 11-year-old boy.

That's right, the same age as the main characters Hikaru Shindo and Akira Toya in *Hikaru no Go*.

However, one fortunate point was that Chen Anya's parents in the *Hikaru no Go* world were fictional, created by the system, and would not live with Chen Anya, nor did they actually exist.

According to the system, the fictional parents were a beginner's benefit given to Chen Anya.

Their purpose was to act as tools for Chen Anya, following his wishes and only appearing when he needed them.

After all, Chen Anya was only 11 years old, not yet an adult, and many things required a guardian's consent.

This meant that although Chen Anya was not rich and powerful in the *Hikaru no Go* world, at least he had no worries about food, clothing, shelter, or transportation.

However, what truly troubled Chen Anya was that while the system gave him this beginner's benefit, it also assigned him a world mission.

"World Mission: Stand at the pinnacle of Go, overlooking all Go practitioners!"

"Mission Requirements: Win any six of the seven major titles: Meijin, Honinbo, Kisei, Tengen, Judan, Gosei, and Oza."

"Current Progress: 0%"

"Mission Reward: Unlock the next穿越, a large gift package (the contents of the package depend on the completion of the mission)."

In a regular apartment in the central district of the island nation, Chen Anya looked at his world mission and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, sighing deeply, "This is tough..."

Although Chen Anya had forgotten most of the plot of *Hikaru no Go*, he still remembered the main characters.

Chen Anya remembered that Akira Toya's father, Akira Toya Sr., who was considered the top Go player in the island nation, had only won five of the seven major titles.

It's important to note that in the setting of *Hikaru no Go*, Akira Toya Sr. was one of the men closest to the divine move, meaning he was the best Go player in the world at that time.

This gave an idea of the difficulty of the mission.

Moreover, Chen Anya knew his own situation best.

Chen Anya knew that although he had been transported, he had not received any enhancement to his abilities beyond the beginner's benefit from the system.

So, Chen Anya was still Chen Anya, with no extraordinary qualities except for his above-average appearance, and he knew nothing about Go, not even having touched a Go board.

In such a situation, starting from zero and eventually standing at the pinnacle of Go, well...

If Chen Anya had the Go talent of Hikaru Shindo and Akira Toya, perhaps he could complete the mission in a dozen or two dozen years.

If Chen Anya did not have the Go talent of Hikaru Shindo and Akira Toya,

Then, Chen Anya, living in the same era as Hikaru Shindo and Akira Toya, really didn't know how to complete the mission. Should he use money to manipulate the system?

Not to mention whether Chen Anya had the money to manipulate the system, but even if he did, would the titles obtained through manipulation really allow him to stand at the pinnacle of Go?

With a headache, Chen Anya decided not to think about it anymore.

The current situation could only be handled step by step.

If he really couldn't complete the mission, he might as well live out his life in this world.

However, as a穿越er with a system, Chen Anya was naturally unwilling to do so.

Extraordinary abilities, power, immortality... these were what Chen Anya truly desired.

With no clear plan, Chen Anya decided to first find a Go school to learn about Go.

Turning on his computer, Chen Anya began searching for relevant information.

Soon, he found a well-reviewed Go school that was very close to his home.

According to the online information, the founder of this Go school was a disciple of the famous island nation Go player, Morishita 9-dan, named Shirakawa Michio.

Having forgotten most of the plot of *Hikaru no Go*, Chen Anya didn't remember these two people. Without much thought, he booked a trial class for half an hour later online.

About twenty minutes later, Chen Anya arrived at the Go school.

Upon entering the Go school, Chen Anya saw an unexpected person.

Black short hair, golden yellow bangs, olive green eyes with a hint of yellow—there was no mistaking it, this was the main character of *Hikaru no Go*, Hikaru Shindo.

Hikaru Shindo also noticed Chen Anya, a boy about his age, and looked at him curiously.

At the same time, the soul of Fujiwara no Sai, attached to Hikaru Shindo, also looked at Chen Anya with curiosity.

Fate intersected here!

Chen Anya then smiled and sat down next to Hikaru Shindo, introducing himself generously, "Hello, my name is Chen Anya, nice to meet you."

Hikaru Shindo was initially taken aback, not expecting Chen Anya to be so unreserved, but then he smiled brightly, "I'm Hikaru Shindo, nice to meet you too."

After that, Hikaru Shindo excitedly started talking to Chen Anya.

Clearly, Hikaru Shindo was very happy about Chen Anya's arrival.

Hikaru Shindo didn't come to the Go school voluntarily and wasn't particularly interested in Go; he only came reluctantly because of Fujiwara no Sai.

Before this, the Go school was mostly attended by adults, with only Hikaru Shindo as a child, which made him feel constrained and uncomfortable.

So, seeing Chen Anya, a child about his age, naturally made him feel more at ease.

Fujiwara no Sai, feeling curious about Chen Anya, was also relieved, even tearing up, thinking, "Even with the passage of time, even in this era, the love for Go transcends age, how wonderful..."

But soon, Fujiwara no Sai changed his mind...

Half an hour later, Fujiwara no Sai was seen biting his sleeve forcefully, looking at the daydreaming Chen Anya with resentment, muttering, "This brat, what does he think the sacred Go class is? Is he here just to daydream?"

Originally, Chen Anya could focus at the beginning of the Go class, but as time passed, his attention kept drifting, and he frequently daydreamed, unable to listen.

This was because, in Chen Anya's view, the Go class was extremely dull and boring.

Chen Anya's current state was a huge contrast to what Fujiwara no Sai had initially imagined, leading to his reaction.

Hikaru Shindo felt Fujiwara no Sai's resentment, looked at the daydreaming Chen Anya, and his mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

In the midst of his daydreaming, Chen Anya also realized his current state and lack of interest in Go. Thinking about the mission given by the system, he felt hopeless and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "What am I supposed to do..."
