Chapter 2

Chen Anya's state was also seen by Bai Chuang Daifu.

To be honest, since the class started, Bai Chuang Daifu has seen many students like Chen Anya.

Most of them are motivated by some reason to come and learn for a while.

However, after truly engaging, they find that it is not what they had imagined or what they like, and they quickly give up.

However, their initial interest is real.

Therefore, every time he encounters such students, Bai Chuang Daifu tries to help them regain their interest.

As for how to do it, it's actually very simple: affirm and praise them.

This is like when many students, due to the teacher's affirmation and praise, become particularly attentive to a certain subject.

After seeing that the time was right, Bai Chuang Daifu looked at Chen Anya and said with a gentle smile, "Anya, can you please stand up?"

Chen Anya, who was lost in thought, did not hear Bai Chuang Daifu's call.

It was only when Jin Teng Guang, sitting beside him, woke Chen Anya and told him what had happened.

Then, Chen Anya stood up, somewhat awkwardly saying, "Teacher Bai, I accidentally got distracted and didn't hear you calling me. I'm sorry."

Chen Anya thought that the reason Bai Chuang Daifu called him up was because of this.

But to his surprise, Bai Chuang Daifu didn't seem to mind at all and smiled slightly, saying, "Anya, please look at the Go board in front of me."

Chen Anya, hearing this, subconsciously looked at the large Go board on the wall.

At the beginning of the class, before Chen Anya got lost in thought, Bai Chuang Daifu had already introduced the Go board.

So, Chen Anya had a basic understanding of the Go board.

The Go board has 19 equally spaced, perpendicular lines running both horizontally and vertically, forming a total of 361 intersection points.

Among these, nine intersection points are marked with large black dots to facilitate positioning. These nine black dots are called star points, and the central star point is also known as the celestial point.

At this moment, the board was empty, with no stones placed.

Under Chen Anya's gaze, Bai Chuang Daifu placed a black stone at the 16th row and 17th column, which is the point next to the left upper star point.

At the same time, Chen Anya heard Bai Chuang Daifu say, "Here, the black stone is placed at the left upper small target position."

Next, Bai Chuang Daifu placed a white stone at the 17th row and 15th column, continuing, "The white stone is placed one space low, in a small flying position, aiming to invade the black stone's corner."

Speaking, Bai Chuang Daifu smiled at Chen Anya, encouragingly saying, "Anya, if you were the player with the black stones, where would you place your stone to respond to the white stone's invasion?"

This is the most basic opening pattern, and with his reminder, even someone who doesn't know how to play Go would know to place a stone to block the white stone's invasion.

So, no matter where Chen Anya places his stone, Bai Chuang Daifu can find a reason to affirm and praise him.

As Bai Chuang Daifu had planned, although Chen Anya doesn't know how to play Go, after some thought, he would want to place his stone at the 17th row and 16th column to block the white stone's invasion.

Just as Chen Anya was thinking, a sudden change occurred.

This change was not aimed at Chen Anya or the original inhabitants of the "Hikaru no Go" world.

It was aimed at an outsider who called himself a "player."

This player, named Shangcun Taizhong, was a handsome young man.

At this moment, he was looking at the void in front of him with a surprised expression.

There, a task notification appeared that others could not see.

In the notification, it read, "Timed Task: Help Chen Anya make a stunning move in the Go class (Reward depends on the completion level.)"

"Countdown: 60, 59, 58..."

Seeing this, Shangcun Taizhong did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately brought up his personal panel, which others could not see, and connected to the internet of his world through the panel.

Then, Shangcun Taizhong directly posted a question on a famous online Q&A community called Zhihu.

"（Image）Please ask, where should the black stone be placed next to make a stunning move?"

Since all of this was done through Shangcun Taizhong's thoughts, only 3 seconds had passed by the time he posted the question.

The reason he chose to post on Zhihu was that although Shangcun Taizhong had some exposure to Go, he was a complete novice and had no idea how to help Chen Anya make a stunning move in the class.

"Quickly, quickly, quickly..."

In Shangcun Taizhong's anxious wait, the answers finally started coming in.

"Only two moves and you want to make a stunning move? Are you kidding?"

"Stunning move? What counts as a stunning move?"

"Place a random move, surprising the opponent is also a stunning move."

"The image shows a common small target small flying hang pattern. Normally, the black stone would be placed at the 17th row and 16th column.

However, this conventional move cannot make a stunning move.

So, if you want to make a stunning move, you need to choose an unconventional move.

I have a move here. Although I don't know if it will make a stunning move, you can try it.

This move is placed at..."

This answer was the most in line with Shangcun Taizhong's needs so far.

But Shangcun Taizhong wanted to wait a bit longer to see if there were any better answers.

On the other side, Jin Teng Guang, seeing Bai Chuang Daifu place the small target small flying hang pattern, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This pattern was the same one Jin Teng Guang saw yesterday in the match between Fujiwara no Sai and the boy with the straight, ear-length hair.

Jin Teng Guang remembered that at the time, Fujiwara no Sai, facing the white stone's move, placed his stone at...

Beside him, Fujiwara no Sai, at some point, opened the five-bone bat fan in his hand, covering the lower half of his face, revealing only his blue eyes. He looked at the small target small flying hang pattern, his thoughts returning to yesterday's game.

Time quickly passed, and with only 10 seconds left in the task, Shangcun Taizhong, unable to wait for a better answer, directly submitted the task.

At the moment Shangcun Taizhong submitted the task, Chen Anya, who was about to speak, suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

This sudden voice not only stunned Chen Anya but also told him a completely different move from what he had expected.

Subconsciously, Chen Anya said, "15th row, 16th column."

Upon hearing Chen Anya's answer, Bai Chuang Daifu was clearly stunned.

Clearly, Chen Anya's answer was completely out of his expectation.

Jin Teng Guang, upon hearing Chen Anya's answer, was also stunned, muttering subconsciously, "This move is exactly the same as Sai's..."

Beside him, Fujiwara no Sai also looked at Chen Anya with a surprised gaze, his eyes flickering, muttering, "This guy... is it a coincidence?"

This move, in the Go world, has a name: Shusaku's Tip!
