Without a doubt, Adachi Ward's JS Research Institute, with six players remaining out of the top 16, has become the biggest winner at this stage.
On shogi forums, a post even made it into the top three trending topics because of this.
[The terrifying dominance of the Adachi Ward JS Research Institute! Adachi Ward JS Research Institute occupies six of the top 16 spots in the Elementary School Celebrity Tournament (National Championship)!]
The number of clicks quickly surpassed one million and is heading towards the tens of millions.
When Luo Chen and Teacher Murasame saw this, smiles involuntarily appeared on their faces.
this is a good news.
The reputation of the Adachi Ward JS Research Institute has expanded once again, which is extremely beneficial for their future recruitment of new students for the JS Research Institute!
After dinner, Luo Chen first arranged for the elementary school students, who had been working hard all day, to rest. He himself sat in his bedroom, copying and pasting new chapters of "Battle Through the Heavens".
After more than two weeks of development, his novel "Battle Through the Heavens" has become a hit on Dengeki Bunko.
I've tried almost every kind of recommendation, from all sorts of things.
The number of clicks, purchases, and comments all surpassed those of some popular older books from Dengeki Bunko.
These signs undoubtedly prove that "Battle Through the Heavens" has become a huge hit! It's incredibly popular.
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked him several times if he wanted to meet with the editor in person and change his pen name back to his real identity, but he refused each time.
His initial intention in releasing "Battle Through the Heavens" was not to make money; he simply wanted to use this opportunity to let Kasumigaoka Utaha truly witness his talent.
The ultimate goal is still the treasure chest.
The five chapters, exactly the same as usual, were copied and sent to Kasumigaoka Utaha with a click of the mouse by Luo Chen.
Upon receiving the manuscript in her email, Kasumigaoka Utaha also immediately sent a message on Line.
【Kasumigaoka Utaha】: "｀ ¨Another 10,000-word update? (Li Li Zhao) You're really a freak, your typing efficiency is completely inhuman."
Luo Chen smiled and replied, "It's alright."
【Kasumigaoka Utaha】: "Are you really not going to reconsider meeting with the editor? With this book, you could become one of the hottest bestselling authors in all of Japan, and become a huge star."
[Luo Chen]: "I'm not interested. You can just control it for me."
【Kasumigaoka Utaha】: "I just can't understand someone like you. And your inexplicable trust in me is really laughable."
[Luo Chen]: "At least so far, it hasn't proven that I trusted the wrong person, has it?"
I don't know why I dressed up.
When the message was sent, it seemed to disappear without a trace; Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't reply.
Luo Chen waited for a full 10 minutes, but the other party remained silent!
Chapter 224: The Four-Way Battle - Hinatsuru Ai Faces Ten'i Again
"?"
Luo Chen was completely confused. He stared at Line for a while, rolled his eyes, and decided to stop bothering with it.
It's possible that Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly ran into something that she needed to deal with.
Just as he was about to put down his phone, Kasumigaoka Utaha's reply arrived.
[Kasumigaoka Utaha]: "I remember when we first chatted, you said you could probably give me some ideas about the second part of 'Love Metronome'..."
【Kasumigaoka Utaha】: "Do you remember?"
Luo Chen was taken aback, and after a long while, he muttered with a wry smile, "So that's what you were struggling with."
[Luo Chen]: "I remember."
【Kasumigaoka Utaha】: "Now that Luo Chen-jun has clearly written a book that is countless times more popular than 'Love Metronome,' will he still do this?"
[Luo Chen]: "Yes."
Kasumigaoka Utaha fell silent again.
Five minutes later, Kasumigaoka Utaha sent a message asking if they could meet to discuss the details.
This meeting wasn't because she wanted to set her up with the editor, but because Kasumigaoka Utaha herself wanted to meet him.
Luo Chen mentioned several times, and finally the two agreed to meet on Sunday afternoon at the Mizunai Street in Adachi Ward.
……
...
The next day.
At 9:16 a.m., the first round of the day, the elementary school celebrity tournament, began at the Shijiatang Study Group.
Hinatsuru Ai and Yashajin Ten'i still didn't encounter any difficult opponents, but the sixth-grade elementary school student from the JS Research Institute encountered Kamina Marie.
Facing Ma Li'ai, who is a year younger than him, he not only struggled in the battle but was also completely overwhelmed and utterly defeated by her.
Until the very last question led to defeat.
Shen Guo Ma Li Ai walked over and deliberately gave Hinatsuru Ai and Yasha Shen Tian Yi a disdainful look, full of provocation.
The look in their eyes seemed to say, "Is this the strength of the JS Research Institute? How ridiculous!"
Chuzuru Ai clenched her little fists, puffed out her chubby cheeks angrily, and said resentfully, "Don't let Ai see her!"
"They must be killed!" Yaksha Goddess Ten'i's proud and pretty face was also cold and indifferent, exuding a chilling aura.
Luo Chen couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself, "It's really annoying that Shen Guo Ma Li loves this little girl. She was actually looking forward to going to Adachi after the elementary school celebrity tournament."
As a result, they've managed to offend Hinatsuru Ai and Yasha-gami Ten'i to the point of no return.
In that case, once she goes to the Adachi Ward JS Research Institute in a couple of days and returns to her base camp, Hinatsuru Ai, Yashagami Ten'i, and that group of elementary school students will surely torture her to death.
"Young Master, the match list for the next game is out."
At that moment, Ms. Murasame walked over with a list in her hand.
After the round of 16.
The quarterfinals have arrived.
Hinatsuru Ai and Yashajin Ten'i each ran into two elementary school students whose names were previously listed on the strongest list of this year's competition.
The other students were in fifth and sixth grade, respectively.
"Ah."
After scanning the list, Luo Chen nodded slightly and said to Hinatsuru Ai and Yasha Shinten, "Be more vigilant in the next match. If you two fail in the quarterfinals, you'll each have to face the wall for a whole morning when you get back."
With Luo Chen's threat, Hinatsuru Ai and Yasha Shinten's faces turned pale, and they clenched their fists. Finally, they slightly restrained their contempt for the competition.
Now that they've reached the quarterfinals, Adachi Ward's JS Research Institute has only 3 players left.
But once the quarterfinals are over, barring any unforeseen circumstances, only Hinatsuru Ai and Yasha Kamiya will remain. It remains to be seen whether the final will be an all-Chinese affair or a clash between Kamiya Marie and either Ai or Kamiya.
Hinatsuru Ai and Yashajin Ten'i took the quarterfinals seriously, and Luo Chen and Murasame-sensei watched the entire match with complete focus.
As expected, the pressure has arrived.
Hinatsuru Ai and Yashagami Ten'i fought for a full two hours, finally ending their match at 2 p.m.
Win them all!
"Young master, Ma Li'ai from the Kamina team has also won the competition. Judging from this, she may be the biggest rival for Ai and Tianyi in this year's championship."
Ms. Murasame said softly from the side.
"Ah."
Luo Chen nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and waited until Hina Tsuru and Yasha Shinten had come out before beckoning, "You all come out with me."
"Master~?"
"?"
Hinatsuru Ai and Yasha Shinten's faces were filled with confusion.
"The semifinals won't start until tonight, so I'll help you guys get some extra practice this afternoon," Luo Chen said.
After the battle just now, he also saw some problems in the two elementary school students. If they could improve, they would at least win the game more easily, if not improve by a lot.
"Hi~!"
When Chuhe Ai heard that Luo Chen was going to give her guidance, she happily agreed.
A hint of anticipation also flashed in Yasha Goddess Ten'i's eyes, but she merely nodded her chin slightly with an air of arrogance.
So, Luo Chen spent the entire afternoon in the chess room with two elementary school students, Hinatsuru Ai and Yashashin Ten'i.
Around 5 p.m., there was a knock on the door.
Luo Chen moved the two elementary school students, who were sleeping with their heads on his laps, to the side and went out to open the door.
"Young Master, the competition starts at 7 o'clock. Shall we eat first... Um, are you all asleep?"
The one knocking on the door was, of course, Mr. Murasame.
"Okay, let them sleep for a while. When they wake up, they can eat two bananas to replenish their energy. They can have dinner after the semi-finals." Luo Chen nodded gently.
“Okay.” Teacher Murasame had no doubts.
