Full-time cartoonist

Higashino Hibiki received the call from the TV station and he quickly answered it.

"Tori Akino Mirai-sensei, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon," Hibiki pursed his lips and said, "I am watching the program at the moment. Whether it is Otake 9th Dan, Professor Okamoto, or Miss Sakai Izumi, they all expressed the audience's opinions."

Dazhu Jiudaan listened to Dongye's ringing phone and nodded with a smile.

He had watched Hibiki Higashino's game. Although he was still very young, he was amazed that Hibiki could reach the level of a professional chess player after just over a year of learning Go.

If Tori Akino can continue to work on the path of Go in the future, it is very likely that he will achieve what he has achieved today.

Become the owner of the title.

pity……

Hero Dazhu shook his head.

"Hello Tori Akino-sensei," Izumi Sakai said with a cheerful smile, "I like your works very much. Both "Soul of the Game" and "Slam Dunk" have the power to inspire people."

"Thank you." Hibiki replied.

Oda, who is paying attention to all this, wishes he could replace it with his own body. He likes Sakai Izumi's song "Don't Give Up" very much, which once gave Oda strength.

It is very appropriate to mention it in the current context.

It's a pity that Hibiki Higashino only knows Japanese songs not only from cartoons, but also from cartoons.

The host got back to the topic and asked: "What is Mr. Tori Akino's opinion? Regarding the possibility of artificial intelligence defeating professional Go players."

"Hahaha." Higashino Hibiki chuckled three times, "In my humble opinion, I am naturally on the supporting side. After all, this is the content of my work."

He is a person from the future, and in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" he can also accompany Haruhi Suzumiya to pass the time and look for the freshness of daily life.

Ke Jie's tears when he lost to "Alpha Dog" in Wuzhen Town in 2017 will never be forgotten in his life.

"Yes, I think that artificial intelligence in the future will surpass human chess players in all aspects. Even the top world champion has no possibility of victory in front of AI. It is a defeat in all aspects." Hibiki Higashino answered very seriously .

"The teacher's idea is different," the host was stunned for a moment, and finally said, "The audience's voting results have been summarized, and there is a big gap with the teacher's idea."

On the monitor behind the stage of the TV show, there is a histogram showing the audience's opinions.

Support: 10.3%

Not supported:76.7%

Ambiguous: 13%

Looking at this scene, Hero Dazhu showed a gentle smile.

Sure enough, everyone had similar thoughts to him.

"Teacher Tori Akino, what are your thoughts now?" the host asked again.

Akimiya Akemi looked at Higashino Hibiki, and only she could see Higashino Hibiki's expression at this time.

It is a kind of confident confidence that "it is true".

Full of charm.

"I still maintain my own opinion," Hibiki Higashino said: "I have not seen the upper limit of human technology, but I have some understanding of the upper limit of professional chess players."

"How long does it take for a beginner to memorize a chess record? It may take a day or a week. But the AI ​​that will be available twenty years from now may be able to memorize tens of thousands of chess records in one second."

"Top professional chess players can calculate up to a hundred moves later. But AI calculates based on the situation, so AI rarely makes mistakes."

"Of course I'm talking about AI with iteratively updated algorithms and hardware. This is not far away. We can see it in our lifetime."

Higashino Hibiki talks eloquently, and his vision for the future is unmistakable, so his words are particularly convincing.

The audience gradually recognized his words.

Even Hero Dazhu is not confident.

How could a "big revolution in Go" happen in just twenty years?

But unknowingly, he suddenly felt in his heart that one day, professional chess players would cry in front of AI.

The chess player was full of competitiveness and wanted to compete with the AI. He thought he could win, but in the end he cried in pain without any suspense.

He suddenly felt that he had been abandoned by the times without realizing it.

"That's really good to say." Professor Okamoto asked eagerly as if he had met a close friend: "Does Mr. Tori Akino have any experience with artificial intelligence? Does he have a clear understanding of it?"

"Uh... there are some, but not many." Hibiki answered honestly.

He just looked up some materials to draw comics, and did not have time to deeply study the artificial intelligence in 1997.

"Eh?" Sakai Izumi's surprised voice sounded.

The audience, who had been brainwashed by Hibiki Hibiki's words, reacted.

"I was almost fooled by the cartoonist."

"That's right. How can the plot in the comics be reality?"

"If it is true, then I will learn Turtle Style Qigong."

They whispered and the place became noisy.

…

The next day's newspaper published people's opinions on the plot of "Soul of Chess".

The discussion was in full swing and it became a hot topic for a while. Yamamura Morimichi understood that Tori Akino had already won in the future.

The success of his work can be seen from the fact that the plot of his comics has aroused social attention and discussion.

This is indeed the case. Xiao Zheng from "Go Revolution" won second place after the emergence of AI.

Just behind Tori Akino's future work "Slam Dunk".

What a hateful guy, he took the top two spots!

Yamamura Shoudao almost had his teeth broken.

…

Looking at the wonderful works of Hibiki Higashino, someone's heart was moved.

It has been a long time since he created a work.

He spent the first half of his life drawing comics for capital and audiences, but now his hands are itchy and he wants to create for himself.

""cowa", let's give it a name first."

Akira Toriyama thought so.

At the same time, Yoshihiro Togashi, who completed "Level E" in early 1997, was also ready to start thinking about the content of a new work.

…

This era belongs to the future of Tori Akino.

The wave of "Soul of Chess" has just subsided, and "Slam Dunk" has caused huge influence.

Akino Mirai, the king of "Weekly Shōnen Jump", was described in the newspapers this way.

It's his dynasty now.

Hibiki Higashino's heart is calm. He will not be complacent because of the media. "Slam Dunk" should have achieved this result because he serialized the episode where Mitsui Kotobuki was reborn from the ashes.

…

Because of Rukawa Kaede's wonderful performance, Shohoku finally regained its level and began to fight back.

Ryota Miyagi adapted to the pressure of the big man. Sakuragi Hanamichi also hit the first ball of the official game.

Although this is already his fourth game.

Facing the defense of two 190-meter-tall Xiangyang players, Miyagi successfully scored a layup. This made Xiangyang change his strategy.

He used his height advantage to strengthen his interior defense and blocked Xiangbei's offense at the basket.

Fujima's plan was very effective. Facing Xiangyang, Miyagi and Akagi who were defending at the basket, they had no way to attack.

But it misses an important point.

That was someone Coach Fujioka valued very much, a member of the dream team he once wanted to form—the best pitcher Hisashi Mitsui!

With the success of Mitsui Hisashi's three-point goal, the scores between Shohoku and Xiangyang were even.

Off the field, Fujima took off his jacket and the coach was warming up!

Because of Fujima's actions, Xiangyang's fighting spirit was ignited.

Hanagata refused to allow Fujima to play, and Shoyo, the second strongest team in Kanagawa, would not be defeated so easily.

Under the leadership of Hanagata, Xiangyang began to score points and pursued the victory to widen the score.

Sakuragi Hanamichi became confused. As a genius, his performance was very poor.

At this time, he remembered Coach Anxi's words.

"Sakuragi, you have to control the rebound!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi finally has his own goal, which is to dominate the basket!

Become the rebounding king!

Before the end of the first half, Sakuragi Hanamichi grabbed a rebound and finally maintained the deficit in single digits.

Although the Shohoku players were very tired due to the nervousness of the opening, especially Mitsui, he was panting even more tiredly.

But they still had enough confidence. In the second half, they pulled back the score and forced Fujima off the court. In the end, they defeated the Xiangyang Basketball Team!

Whoever can control the rebound can control the game.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's basketball ability is very average, but his basic interception skills and power jumping ability are very good.

He started to dominate the basket!

Because of Sakuragi Hanamichi's performance, the score quickly became one point.

Although Fujima remained calm on the coaching bench, it could be clearly seen that he was becoming irritable.

Rukawa Kaede's fast break layup brought the score to 36:35, and Shohoku took the lead!

Seeing this scene, Fujima stood up aggressively, he was going to play.

Because Fujima came on the field, Shoyo performed at his true level.

"Mitsui, have you reached your limit?"

This is an episode from last week’s series.

Mitsui had wasted two years playing with Xiangyang, and was now exhausted.

But he won't end.

In order to block the three-point shooter Mitsui, Hasegawa of the Shoyo team specially intercepted him.

Hasegawa was Mitsui's defeated opponent in junior high school, and Mitsui had no memory of this person at all.

However, at this moment, the tall and agile Hasegawa prevented Mitsui from finding a chance to take action.

When Mitsui Hisashi fell, Hasegawa was working hard.

Seeing the bad Mitsui with his own eyes, Hasegawa believed that he would not lose.

Mitsui, who underestimated high school basketball, and who was no match for him back then, has disappeared with time.

Mitsui panted violently, and his pitching intensity decreased.

Facing the reborn Hasegawa.

He seemed to have reached his limit.
