Chapter 001: The Zen-like Youth, Dongye Qiang

Even a fighting game like KOF97 is the first

What are your dreams, classmates

Good

Japan has a nine-year compulsory education system, and junior high school corresponds to what we refer to as middle school in China

Higashiya looked at Hirano's face filled with despair, and he couldn't help but internally scoff.

Truly, the number one KOF on our Okinawa Island! An invincible warrior!

Hmm. I did it, you treated me to a drink

... ...

As a result, it is quite uncomfortable to hold it in

Dong Yeqiang, the strongest student in Dali.

Country One

Qiang, as a name for a Chinese person, is quite good

On November 7, 2019, that day, he, as a struggling writer and a reclusive individual, went out for a walk, his mind filled with plots. He was not paying attention to his feet and stepped on a piece of watermelon rind, causing him to fall. Perhaps due to his roundness, he rolled onto the motor vehicle lane and was struck by a large vehicle

Are you trying to break your own record of fifteen consecutive wins

Hirano's face was filled with smiles, as if the recent twenty-one consecutive victories were achieved by him

With a crunch, the black coffee can was crushed flat by Dongye Qiang.

The black coffee was served up.

That woman is too terrifying

The exclamations soared into the air along with the sun hat, drifting higher and higher.

Thinking of this, Higashino Qiang opened his eyes again. He wanted to help his friend establish a dream that was somewhat realistic.

He wants to avoid his newlywed wife

The two individuals are easily distinguishable; Higashino is approximately 170 centimeters tall, while Hirano is considerably shorter

He understands that Hirano is kindly trying to guide him

The term "Buddhist system" intrigued Pingye, so he decided to remember it

Naha is merely a small city, with not many cars

A billboard, its metal frame corroded beyond recognition by the salty sea breeze

Two boys finished speaking and walked into the arcade. Dongye found a KOF97 machine and sat down.

Hirano, however, came to a stop

For example, the plains

Ah?

Higashino took it, pulled the tab, and took a sip. "A-Chun, how did you know I wasn't happy?"

In Naha City on Okinawa Island in the Ryukyu Islands, a man wearing a sun hat stands facing the sea, cupping his hands around his mouth, shouting loudly

He appears to be nearly thirty years old, and this action is undeniably very immature

But Pingye did not respond; he seemed to have discovered something

He took back his microphone and said, "Having no dreams is not a big deal; you are the strongest, the strongest student of Higashiya, and you will definitely be okay. By the way, having no dreams seems to align well with a laid-back attitude."

As for it, my friend Hirano often refers to himself as 'Siguo Yi'

What?!

Close your eyes, unable to bear the sight.

The novelist saw that the other party was a couple, and the woman indeed had a large belly, drenched in sweat.

Naturally, it attracts the unusual gaze of others

As for Pingye, he prefers to refer to his friend as 'Siguoyi'

A friend is someone who has the ability to share harmless jokes with one another

Higashino's explanation is quite simple

It is unclear how much time has passed, but no one has sat down to insert coins next to Higashino anymore

Let it out, it feels much better

The strongest in Dongye! The first in the country!

So, is Higashino's strongest truly impressive or frightening

Oh dear! What are you arguing with me about! My wife is about to give birth!

In his view, such trivial matters as time travel are not worth mentioning

However, he does not know that the shell of being "Buddhist" was specifically created by Higashino Kyō for the phrase "no dreams"

Only seen, dribbling without the ball, moving while dribbling, feet unsteady, upper body swaying.

This day, November 7, 1984

Is black coffee acceptable in Country 1?

Siguo Yi! Bashen!

Hirano probably does not understand this joke, but Higashino Kyoji truly does not want to use words to undermine his friend's dreams

Waaah ... ...

Our ancestors of the Dongye family came here to escape from the turmoil of war

Then, he must be a novelist

Perhaps only those players of fighting games would find him frightening

However, he paid no attention.

In the southern region, the school uniforms consist of shirts and long pants, distinguished only by embroidered letters. Both of them have 'Dali Middle School' embroidered on their chests

One hand presses down on the hat, while the other hand hails a taxi

At this moment, Pingye noticed that his friend was silent, and he thought of something.

In Hirano Jun's view, Higashino Tsuyoshi is the kind of person who is so powerful that he instills fear, so let's just call him 'Sukoku I'

Sports, number one

Academic performance, first place

Fool! There has been no decisive move! The final gate has three breaths

Although the nationality is Japanese, according to the contemporary head of the Higashino family, the third generation of Higashino General Store, Higashino Ko, said

The Edogawa Rampo Prize is a literary award in Japan

Perhaps it is precisely because this is the final year

The taxi was taken by someone else first

You are Chinese

The competition in the arcade is extremely intense

Unable to reach at the moment

It has appeared! The legendary door that even the gods would show you when they fall!

In his previous life, he was an orphan; in this life, he has parents

Dongye is an ancient surname of Huaxia

I will definitely win the Ranpo Prize

I have no dreams

The two individuals have been classmates since kindergarten, and Hirano Jun witnessed his friend's "Siguo Yi".

Ah ha

What? It was actually turned around by the door alone!

Pingye believes that it is very likely that his friend came to Naha to play games and relax because of this matter

Higashino Qiang really wants to complain about the village internet

Two boys dressed in middle school uniforms, carrying backpacks, walked to the front door

Ha! The opportunity has arrived! One for two! Yagami Iori and Chen Kehan have both been eliminated!

What is said will be done, even without a ball

Although he remains in first place, he seems to be indifferent to all of this

When it was Dongye Qiang's turn, he responded as follows

However, in Japan, the single character "强" is pronounced similarly to "次油衣," which sounds unpleasant, especially when paired with "东野," which is pronounced similarly to "多诺次油衣." This name is truly poor.

Deng deng deng! I made a background music with my mouth, and then struck a pose of welcoming.

In the style of a journalist's interview, "Mr. Strongest, are you still thinking about Teacher Dahe's question?"

April 1, 2000

Everyone was momentarily stunned, convinced that the person before them was an idiot

Not long ago

Pingye fundamentally does not understand what his friend is thinking; he seems to be afraid that Dongye might perceive him as lacking in resolve

As the most bustling street on the island, there is an arcade here with the letters SEGA written on it

Could it be a typhoon? It is November, it shouldn't be the case. The novelist muttered to himself, not paying attention to what was above him

To the east of Naha City, there is a village called Dali, which should be located there

As if awaiting the arrival of the king

The strongest is his Japanese name, and his Chinese name is Dongye Qiang

But it is also amusing, because apart from fishing nets, there are no other types of nets in Dali Village

Upon waking up again, he found himself in a hospital in Naha, with a man and a woman staring at him intently

This time visiting the southern country, I am not afraid of others laughing at me

Dong Ye is the strongest, originally named Liu Qiang, a Chinese person

This question left Higashino Qiang momentarily stunned

Some are peering inside

... ...

This wind is different from that in Tokyo, wait a moment, it seems a car is coming

An occurrence of the St. Country continuous technique

My dream is to become an NBA player

Dongye Qiang found it somewhat strange and asked, "What is the matter?"

This answer silenced the entire classroom

Hello! Wait! This is the car I called.

In fact, this year, he has reached the final step of the Ranbu Prize, but unfortunately, he ultimately met with regret

Everyone applaud

... ...

East, Wild, the Strongest

"As expected of the southern region, let's return to the hotel and begin our island tour tomorrow," the novelist smiled to himself.

Look at my hips | Dribbling down, how is it? Ha ... ...

In the spring light and the sea breeze, it is impossible to look down upon.

You play basketball worse than XXX

Ah Chun, is your dream really to enter the NBA

Dong Yeqiang is enduring, he is afraid to utter that phrase

How can one not be astonished by a person who claims to have no dreams?

Forget it, forget it

Hirano burst out of the arcade, cheering, and executed a beautiful slide stop.

At this time, Hirano has already purchased the beverages

It was only after the two had walked far away that the onlookers seemed to suddenly awaken

Takai Shopping Street

I have simply adopted a Buddhist mindset

In the Japanese language, the phrase 斯国一 is expressed as '凄い', which means 'amazing' or 'impressive', but when said with more intensity, it can also convey the meaning of 'terrifying' or 'frightening'

He opened his eyes once again and found that someone had already opened the car door ahead of him

Ha ha... twenty-one consecutive victories! Siguo 1, why are you not happy at all?

Higashiya walked over and lightly punched Hirano on the head, then pulled Hirano away, saying, "Alright, alright, don't forget that you owe me a drink."

Higashiya Kyo hopes that his friends can be more practical

What is the matter

The teacher referred to by Hirano as "Teacher Okawa" is their homeroom teacher

Higashiya and Hirano are both in their third year this year

Unable to hail a taxi for the moment, the wind is growing stronger

In the past sixteen years, there have not been many changes in Naha City

Under the SEGA brand, a considerable number of people gradually gathered

A demeanor that often resembles that of an old monk appears on the face

Several seagulls are making a squawking sound

However, ever since he entered middle school, Higashiya Kyo has changed

The crowd outside is also engaged in lively discussions

Saikyo, please come quickly

Higashiya Kyo did not wish to explain too much, as he knew that his friend would not understand. He smiled once more, finished his black coffee, played with the can, and looked at Hirano

What?

You, you person...

Even this dribbling without the ball at the moment may be to amuse him

Below the school name, there is Higashiya and Hirano

He has a calm expression and is very handsome

This final sentence carries quite a momentum

Today marks the beginning of the school year, and Teacher Dahe posed a question

Junichi Hirano recited as if it were a memorized passage: "Yes, yes. You mentioned that in this game, the four strongest characters are Yagami, Chen Kehan, Daimon, and Kagura. As long as I master these four characters, I can form two of the strongest lineups, Yabuzumon and Yabuzutsuru... However, I just cannot seem to master them.

Hirano, whose name is Jun, pointed at Higashiya's face and said, "The expression of serenity on your face cannot be concealed."

Suddenly, the wind grew a bit stronger, creaking with a sound

Higashino, the strongest, leaned against the railing, taking in all the scenery before him

Hirano's final words were indeed correct

Move aside quickly; if anything happens to my wife or child, you will see what I will do to you

Higashiya walked out from inside with a backpack, a faint smile on his face, and upon seeing this, he could only shake his head in resignation

Upon seeing the vast ocean, the novelist could not help but vow to this magnificent azure expanse

It is written here, you are dead

The wind is somewhat strong, and the sun hat was almost blown away

OK

Hirano nodded vigorously and said earnestly, "Saikyo, have you read the manga 'Slam Dunk'? Wow, it's amazing! Do you know? There's a guy in it who suddenly grows very tall in his first year of high school, and I think I might be able to do the same. I've made my plans; I want to win the national championship first, and then..."

All onlookers automatically made way for a path

Therefore, the Japanese name is called 'Saikyo', pronounced as 'saikyo'

The students all answered very well, and the classroom was filled with laughter and joy

Some of them walked directly in, coming to the side of Higashiya, and inserted coins

This is by Higashino Keigo

A gentle breeze arrives, with the blue sea and sky.

Twenty-one consecutive victories! Indeed, Higashiya in the Dairi is the strongest!

The novelist was not in a hurry; he closed his eyes and greedily inhaled the salty sea breeze

Higashino does not mind being called the strongest; he simply treats it as a nickname and even uses it himself, which is quite amusing

"Ha..." Higashino could only smile, "Actually, it's not that difficult. Didn't I tell you the tips for KOF '97?"

More whispers and murmurs

However, Higashino Kyo did not provide any explanation

As a time traveler, I have shared all the tricks of KOF97 with you, yet it seems to be of no use. I can only say that your gaming talent has been thrown into the Mariana Trench.

Before long, there is more good news

However

Hirano, with an expression of excitement, proclaimed as if in praise, "Allow me to introduce the strongest student of Otari Village Junior High School, the Zen-like youth who has just defeated all the martial arts masters on Okinawa Island, setting a record of twenty-one consecutive victories, the King of KOF '97.

More than ten years have passed, which proves that Higashino's memory is quite remarkable

If Hirano's gaming talent is at the Mariana Trench, then his basketball talent must be beyond the solar system

Hirano couldn't help but feel a sense of concern as he observed the situation
