The exquisite Go game required a large amount of energy and time. There was ample time allocated for a player to make every move, and even if a few hours were spent before each move was made, Master Xuan Kong would not mind. In fact, even if the player logged off during the game, it would only show that the player was sitting in front of the table quietly. When they logged in, they could continue.
No one could interrupt them in Master Xuan Kong's room!
Happy had intended to use this unique situation to stall for time and hide from all attacks until the emperor's birthday passed while he had the imperial court's tribute in his hands. After all, he did not have the confidence to clear the exquisite Go game, so he could only continuously help the white tiger to remain alive and try his best to stall for time before he lost.
Happy spent a long time to try and figure out the exquisite Go game.
Translator's Note:
[1] Pocket formation: The army lures the enemy into a narrow opening and guides them into the depths, but as the enemy pours inside, the space inside the formation will become larger. When all enemy forces enter, the army will seal off the exit, just like closing a pocket. (Sounds like the crane's wing formation, but the words are completely different, so I can't be too sure.)
