Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 158 Sequence Interview Program, The Pope's Murder Case

"Welcome to this episode's special interview program for serial players. What can be announced temporarily is that there will be a total of three serial players in this episode, and they are all top ten players in the popularity list!"

On TV, the host held the microphone and said happily.

It was the night of January 1. After taking a shower, Anson Deer sat on the bed in the bedroom with a towel, brushing his hair while watching the 29 o'clock TV program - "Serial Interview".

This is a program filmed in New York, USA. The reason for setting up this program is very simple, to help the members of the law enforcement team and the national team consolidate their personalities and gain the love of the public.

In today's era, superstars have been completely replaced by sequence players. In order to ensure the operation of capital, the official will cooperate with some bigwigs in the asset industry, relying on the reputation of sequence players to make profits.

In other words, the essence of these sequence players is no longer just heroes - outside of dungeon time, they will take on a lot of work that should belong to artists, and live in the eyes of the people

The stage of the show is very simple, with an elevator in the center, and then two sofas.There is only one host, an old American man with a curly hair and sunglasses.

"The first guest of this issue is——Jiang Yijie from the Huaxia National Team, ranked ninth in the world, this handsome guy's serial occupation is 'Emerald Mask'!" The host stretched his arms vigorously toward the elevator.

Bang!
Exaggerated fireworks scattered all over the sky, the elevator in the center of the stage unfolded, Jiang Yijie in a suit stepped out of the elevator, and waved to the audience with a gentle smile on his face.

Cheers.

"I'll go, isn't it embarrassing..." An Senlu gnawed on the melon seeds, his scalp numb and said, "You guys are really there. Fortunately, my buddy didn't join any law enforcement team or national team."

Jiang Yijie sat down on the sofa opposite the host. His sitting posture was very upright. It looked like he had received a high-level education, not the kind that deliberately pretended to be in front of the camera.

"Mr. Jiang Yijie, as the face of Huaxia, we have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time for our exclusive interview with serial players. May I ask what you want to say to your fans?" The host pretended to be excited.

"Sorry, I failed everyone's expectations. I just found time recently." Jiang Yijie smiled, "I hope we can spend a pleasant night together."

Another cheer.

Most of the audience who shouted were Chinese living in New York, as well as players who flew here from China with travel coupons—it seems that, as one of the most famous figures in China, Jiang Yijie still has a high status in the eyes of his countrymen .

An Senlu took a bite of melon seeds, "This guy was busy investigating the principal before, right?"

At this time, the host once again stretched his arms towards the elevator, raised the microphone and shouted.

"Then, welcome to our second guest—Lorenzo de' Medici from the Law Enforcement Team. He is currently ranked second in the world rankings, and his sequence name is 'Pope of the Crazy Bell'."

All sounds are silent.

The program team gave close-ups of the audience's expressions, and every audience's face was filled with disbelief.

Immediately, the elevator doors slowly opened towards both sides.

Colorful confetti scattered.

An Italian with a height of nearly 1.9 meters and long hair and blue eyes stepped out and waved to the audience with a smile on his face.

The program team gave a close-up shot. Lorenzo's facial contours seemed to be cut out by a knife: clear and cold, comparable to ancient Greek sculptures.

No one in the audience could sit still. All the audience shouted Lorenzo's name loudly. Lorenzo sat beside Jiang Yijie in everyone's sight.

Some fanatical fans were so enthusiastic that they were almost going to lose their minds, so they almost rushed onto the stage, but the cold batons in the hands of the guards were like a bucket of cold water, pouring on their heads.

"Hey, this guy actually has time to be on this kind of show?" An Senlu was a little surprised.

He dried his hair, picked up the Coke on the table, and took a sip through a straw.

An Senlu originally thought that a busy person like Lorenzo would not participate in this kind of program.But he was wrong, Lorenzo worked for the official, as long as the official wanted him to participate, he had no room to refuse.

After all, the law enforcement team and the national team rely on the government. In today's high-pressure environment, if even the only government that the people can trust loses its prestige, then the world will be completely over.

Therefore, the official will use this kind of marketing method similar to that of the entertainment industry to maximize the personality charm of the sequence players and gain the love of the people in a down-to-earth way.

By the way, the first two guests are so important, who will be the third guest?Anson Deer took a sip of water.

"Mr. Lorenzo, this is the first time for you to participate in our program. As the most famous and most popular serial player in the world, what would you like to say to your fans?" The host said enthusiastically ask.

At this moment, the audience off the stage is still shouting.

Lorenzo raised the microphone, thinking deeply in his blue eyes.

After a while, he said in a magnetic voice: "Everyone, can you please be quiet first?"

Under the gaze of these blue eyes, a silent and solemn majesty spread out, and the auditorium suddenly fell into silence.

"Thank you for your continuous support. Next, I will lead the law enforcement team more diligently until the dawn of humanity is won." Lorenzo said lightly.

"Cough...cough cough..." An Senlu almost spat out the water, "Damn, what a fucking middle school, is this the feeling of being forced to open?"

After Lorenzo finished speaking, he took the microphone and sat down on the sofa.

He was next to Jiang Yijie, and the two didn't even say hello, nor did they even look at each other. Judging from this detail, the relationship between the two should not be very good.

With a smile on his face, the host waited patiently for the audience to calm down before extending his arms towards the elevator.

"Then, please invite the last guest tonight, and also our special guest, a thief player from China—Wang Youjin!"

"Who is this?" Ansen Lu was taken aback, "Wait, isn't this an interview with a serial player? Why is there a thief player here?"

What he didn't expect was that there were quite a lot of voices from the audience, and it seemed that many people were looking forward to the appearance of this player.

An Senlu raised his brows and became a little interested. The elevator door opened, and the person exposed under the spotlight was a tall and handsome middle-aged man with a sullen face.

"Mr. Wang Youjin was the first ordinary professional player to appear on our "Sequential Player Interview" program, but with the profession of 'Shadow Wing', he ranked 352nd in the global combat power rankings as an ordinary player Name! Became the only ordinary professional player among the top 1000 in the global battle rankings!" The host introduced in a cadenced manner.

There was continuous applause from the audience.

Lorenzo and Jiang Yijie also applauded lightly to show their respect for this ordinary player.

Shadow Wing?Oh, the turn of the thieves... An Senlu didn't realize it.

He used his mobile phone to check this person. On the Internet, Wang Youjin was known as the "King of Thieves" and "Shadow Wing of China".

An Senlu was even more surprised.

Not only is Wang Youjin an ordinary player, but he also uses the status of a job change from the unpopular profession of thieves—Shadow Wing, and this is how he ranks among the top 1000 in the global combat power list?
No wonder, Wang Youjin was invited to participate in this program - he simply represents the pinnacle that an ordinary player can achieve, and his inspiration cannot be more inspirational.

Of course, it may also be because the profession of 'Shadow Wing' is too unpopular, and has received some information and benefits that no one has discovered. After all, few people choose the thief profession, let alone those who survived to the first rank as a thief.

At present, the mainstream professions in the world are still mages and archers, warriors and priests are slightly inferior, and finally thieves are almost nobody cares about.

Because of this, it is so easy for the media to market Wang Youjin.

Using a profession that no one cares about, on par with sequence players, even surpassing 60.00% of sequence players, this is the most exaggerated point.

Undoubtedly, his existence has given those ordinary players hope and direction for self-improvement.

The world needs such a representative of ordinary people.

If the officials are busy promoting those "born noble" sequence players, they will not be able to meet the needs of ordinary players. One day the conflict between ordinary players and sequence players will erupt.

On the TV screen, Wang Youjin sat beside Lorenzo.

The positions of the three on the sofa are: Jiang Yijie is on the left, Lorenzo is in the middle, and Wang Youjin is on the right.

After that, the host chatted with them about some messy questions, such as—"How do you view the First World War in Seoul, the world's number one player union 'Hell Beacon' officially launched, Mr. Lorenzo, Mr. Jiang Yijie, do you agree with me?" Did the old chess players know each other in private?".

"Please, can I lie on the gun too?" An Senlu took a sip of Coke and shrugged helplessly.

He sort of understood that this show was meant to rub off on his popularity.

After all, the Seoul incident had just ended a few days ago, and the discussion of this meeting has only increased, and it is still an event that people are talking about in full swing.

There are also many questions in everyone's mind, and they almost want to know urgently: Is there any relationship between Lorenzo and Anson Lu, the number two in the world and the number one in the world?
"Uh..." Jiang Yijie hesitated for half a second, smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't have much contact with Mr. An Senlu, but I think he is a very down-to-earth and interesting person."

In fact, Jiang Yijie only met An Senlu once.

However, he said that there are not many contacts, and there is a reason.

After all, as a representative of the Huaxia national team, it is impossible for him to publicly say: "The principal of Shangshi High School threatened our Huaxia officials not to contact An Senlu."

The public opinion earthquake caused by such remarks will not be eased in a day or two, and the consequences are simply unimaginable.

"Down-to-earth and interesting, it really refreshes our understanding of old chess players." The host said with a smile, "In the video clips released by the Evolution Foundation, the world's No.1 'Ansen Deer' seems to always have a cold face. look like."

In front of the TV, An Senlu's face was livid, and he was so puzzled that he finished his Coke in one gulp.

If it was before, he would have already started to tap the ground with his toes, but now he has never seen such a big storm, and with his shamelessness, it would not be too embarrassing.

Then it was Lorenzo's turn to speak.

"I have a cooperative relationship with the old chess players, and they can also be regarded as friends." Lorenzo picked up the microphone and said slowly:
"In my opinion, An Senlu is a kind and principled person, but I have to admit that he is also a withdrawn and persistent person. Because of his sharp personality, he cannot integrate into the official organization and stand side by side with us fighting."

"Because the old chess players did not join the official organization and played for people all over the world, many people said that An Senlu was a selfish and cynical sinner. What do you think of this?" the host asked.

"This point is undoubtedly wrong." Lorenzo said categorically: "Even without joining the official organization, the Ansen deer is using its own way to defend the human homeland."

After a pause, he continued:
"The United Nations officially respects the individuality of sequence players. Anson Deer is an outstanding person, as are the players of Hell Beacon. The law enforcement team will continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with them, instead of ignoring and obliterating their personal will and forcing them to enter law enforcement."

An Senlu in front of the TV laughed and couldn't help complaining: "You didn't say that before. The image management of the law enforcement team is really good. You must have prepared a draft."

If Lorenzo told the truth, the scene would be very exciting-"We couldn't do the hell lighthouse, so we failed to recruit security."

At this time, most of the audience in the arena were applauding for Lorenzo's wonderful speech, but some people remained silent and their faces were not very friendly.

Obviously, not everyone can accept this far-fetched rhetoric.

"Because of the official connivance of the 'Hell Lighthouse' private sequence player union, the public doubts whether the official approach is too soft. They all say: Only by letting the old chess player directly play for the country can he maximize his strength .” The host said again.

Lorenzo was silent for two seconds, leaned closer to the microphone, and said flatly: "I'm very sorry, I will refuse to answer similar questions in the future."

There was a sigh of relief from the audience.

"Anyway, thank you Mr. Lorenzo for your answer!"

The host laughed twice, and quickly changed the subject: "Next, I have a question from a netizen. I want to ask Mr. Wang Youjin, as an ordinary player, what kind of efforts did you go through to achieve the same level as the sequence player? On an equal footing?"

Wang Youjin picked up the microphone and said deeply:

"Before answering this question, I want to say something to all struggling ordinary players: Ordinary occupations don't necessarily mean they will be weaker than special sequences, as long as..."

An Senlu had no interest, so he played minesweeper with his mobile phone.

What he wants to see more is Lorenzo making a fool of himself on the show. He heard that there will be a popular "scandal link" in the follow-up show.

In this fascinating link, the program team will find out some innocuous gossips for the sequence players to answer, focusing on capturing their reactions with the camera.

This link is arranged to make the image of the sequence player more friendly and closer to life. After all, no one likes a high-ranking person, even if he is a superstar.

Almost when An Senlu was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, he had waited for this link.

"Mr. Jiang Yijie, I heard that you were very popular in college. Once at the graduation ceremony, a female classmate confessed to you. At that time, you rejected her because you were gay?" the host asked.

Jiang Yijie froze for a moment, couldn't help smiling, raised the microphone and said:
"It was too cold at the time, and I just wanted to go home quickly, so I made up this reason. Now that I think about it, I am really sorry for that girl. I apologize for my disrespect."

The audience in the audience burst into laughter. If it was on the Internet, the barrage would have filled the screen.

An Senlu was not very interested. He yawned, held his chin, and murmured:

"I'm going to sleep, can you hurry up, let's talk about Lorenzo's scandal."

"The next thing is Mr. Lorenzo. According to a reporter on the Internet, he said: At that time, he and his companion wanted to interview you, but you got angry at his companion, and even released a skill almost violently, making his companion He flew more than [-] meters away, directly killed his companion, and turned that person into a blood mist!" The host couldn't help but laugh when he read the absurd manuscript:

"And, this reporter said, at that time, your eyes turned scarlet like a werewolf! Moreover, he later said that the law enforcement team erased the existence of his companion and destroyed all evidence of crimes.

A few days ago, this reporter filed a lawsuit against the court, muttering in his mouth: "The Pope of the Mad Bell is by no means just" and "Lorenzo is a monster". As a result, the court suspected that the plaintiff had a mental problem , dismissed his suit. "

When the host said this, the audience in the audience burst into laughter.

Everyone felt that this rumor was too false. Even if they wanted to smear Lorenzo, they wouldn't be able to make up such a strange thing that even elementary school students would doubt, right?

In the end, it turned out that the person who made up this rumor was a mental patient, so it's okay.

"Oh my god, this is so magical, it's kind of like a fantasy novel written by my kid in kindergarten, and he said that he will write a novel series comparable to "Lord of the Rings" in the future!"

After the host said this, there was another burst of laughter, and every audience member's face was filled with joy.

Then, he looked at Lorenzo and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Lorenzo, how do you plan to respond to this negative news that has been circulating on the Internet recently?"

Lorenzo smiled at first, as if it was no big deal, then sighed, and gently supported his forehead, with a somewhat embarrassed look.

Finally, he slowly picked up the microphone and answered:

"There is a saying in Huaxia that a big tree attracts the wind. Regarding this kind of rumor, I can only say that it is a common thing, so I won't reply too much. Finally, I wish everyone a good dream."

When Lorenzo said this, he showed a kind smile to the camera. His facial features, which are as delicate as a god, are even more handsome and extraordinary in the TV footage that is so detailed that the pores can be seen.

At the same time, happier and more unbridled laughter echoed in the auditorium.

At this moment, the ratings of this program have reached an unprecedented high, creating a peak record for TV stations.

Only Anson Lu in front of the TV stared blankly at Lorenzo's smiling face.

A chill gushed out of my heart, and gradually climbed to every pore of my body, like thousands of tiny worms wriggling back and forth in my stomach, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

It wasn't until the end of the show that Lorenzo, Jiang Yijie, and Wang Youjin bowed to the audience and bid farewell, that he came back to his senses.

Turn off the TV, and the room returns to dead silence.

An Senlu recalled the host's description just now and what happened in the Disney copy before, and couldn't help but shudder.

After a long time, he opened the chat panel and sent a message to Qi Yuanli.

　Thank you all for subscribing.
