Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 160 It's Coming, Then We Have to Treat It Well

The Pacific Ocean north of the equator near dusk on February 2.

A dark steam train set off from an unknown island. With the sound of rumbling engines, the train passed the border of the island and drove straight into the track built above the sea.

Under the shining of the sun, the surface of the sea is shimmering, with green and golden halos intertwined, like a road made of colorful silk, and the train rushes past, regardless of the surrounding scenery.

Soon, inside the No. 9 carriage of the train, five figures gradually appeared.

An Senlu was the first to enter the dungeon, followed by Yuri, Urushihara Ritsu, Uesugi Asuka and Chu Qimo.

At this moment, the windows of the carriage are all open, the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean is blowing in, and the cold breath of the tide can be smelled, but the temperature of the carriage is very comfortable, as if the heater is turned on.

"Hey, it's really not a copy of the underworld." Asuka Uesugi looked around and said with satisfaction.

If at this time, Anson Lu chose a copy similar to "Dark Disneyland 2", maybe Asuka could not help but turn into a red dragon and spray him to death.

"Actually, I couldn't find a more terrifying copy." An Senlu said truthfully.

"roll."

"Sea train, it's an overly magical setting." Ritsu Urushihara moved his deep eyes and looked out the window.

This old track stands above the sea, seemingly endless, spreading to the horizon at the end of the line of sight. The wheels of the train cut through the tide and set off white waves.

"It seems that we will have to spend some time at sea." Chu Qimo took off the sword bag on his shoulder.

"Yes, I don't know how long, the end point of the dungeon is Hawaii Island."

As An Senlu spoke, he approached the window and leaned out, his hair messed up by the sea breeze.

The sea and the sky are the same color, the sea is like a mirror, reflecting the green sky, the clouds are flowing leisurely on the emerald green sea, and the white canvas flag on the top of the train is hunting and dancing in the wind.

If it weren't for the train still driving in the sea, Ansenlu might not be able to tell which side is the sea and which side is the sky.

The strange chirps of marine life overlap together, as if they are playing a light and long symphony. Although it is pleasant to the ear, one can feel the infinite depth of the sea and the horror of self-knowledge insignificance.

However, the cool sea breeze calmed down the restlessness.

The so-called sounds of nature are nothing more than that, but the roar of some kind of giant that comes from the deep sea from time to time breaks the tranquility and comfort of this piece of heaven.

Asuka Uesugi was leaning against the car window, and just as she poked her head out, she heard the sudden loud noise, her slender shoulders trembled slightly, and her entire back trembled.

An Senlu's reaction was very calm, and he did not forget to cast a contemptuous look at her.

"Well, I think so," he said, "regardless of the copy of horror horror, someone can play it as a horror game, just like someone playing a CSGO biochemical mode can be scared and smash the screen."

"Shut up." Asuka gave her a cold look.

"Obey." Anson Lu persuaded quickly.

Time passed quickly. The time he entered the dungeon was obviously 12:[-] noon, but after arriving in the dungeon, the sky quickly darkened, and the sun gradually sank below the sea level.

An Senlu raised his eyebrows: "The speed of time passing in this dungeon seems to be very fast?"

Ritsu Urushihara glanced at the phone, confirmed the current time, and said slowly:

"No, Mr. Lu, the speed of time passing is the same as that of the outside world, but our consciousness is in a state of nothingness for four hours during the process of loading the copy-so, the current time is already five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, so that's the case." An Senlu suddenly realized.

He said, why did the time jump from noon to dusk just after entering this dungeon, no matter how fast the time in the dungeon passes, it is impossible to advance at this double speed, right?

In this way, there is only one possibility. They stayed in the process of reading the copy for a full five hours.

Speaking of which...Is the Hawaiian Island skiable?It might work?

An Senlu thought of this, turned his head, and looked at the Icelandic girl who was leaning against the window.

At this moment, the train was galloping above the boundless sea, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on Yuri's face through the window, and the sound of the rumbling engine lingered in his ears.

The sea breeze blew, and the girl's pale hair drifted away with the wind, as if dyed golden yellow by the sun in the sky.

"The sea is so beautiful."

Yuri said softly.

Her clear eyes reflected the vast and boundless sea. Her pupils had never been so bright and clear, like the eyes that a teenage girl should have.

An Senlu quietly watched her profile without making a sound.

After all, this may be the first time she has come to sea—from the age of nine to the age of 17, the space for this Icelandic girl to act every day is only the official ward and the stage built by capital.

When flipping through books in that ward every day, she should have thought about what the sea is like?
Watching the fireworks with them in Hokkaido, looking at the sea city carrying the remnant body of the ghost general, gradually sinking into the sea, has she also thought about what it is like in the middle of the sea?I really want to see it with my own eyes.

Soon, the system notification sounded in the ears of the five people, interrupting An Senlu's thoughts.

[It has been detected that five flight attendants have entered the No. 9 compartment of the "Rescue" train, and the first part of the dungeon is about to start: Dead Sea. 】

【Session objective: protect the train and reach Hawaii Island safely; the end of the period: three days. 】

"The first link will take three days." An Senlu shrugged and said helplessly: "Depending on the situation, this dungeon will take at least five or six days to complete."

"Did you reach Hawaii Island safely?" Ritsu Urushihara laughed and said unhurriedly:

"That is to say, what dangers will we encounter in the Pacific Ocean in the next three days. Moreover, we must not only ensure our own safety, but also protect the train from being damaged."

Chu Qimo listened to the roar of the beast from the deep sea, and said expressionlessly:

"It doesn't sound too difficult."

"Of course you have to choose one that is not too difficult, otherwise it will be for nothing." Qi Yuanli smiled.

"That's right." Chu Qimo said, "If we choose dungeons with less resources, then sooner or later we will be caught up by the law enforcement team."

"After all, the law enforcement team is backed by the government and enjoys a lot of resources." Urushihara said, "In other words, if the Evolution Coin Mall does not have items that boost experience points, otherwise they must be able to upgrade their level faster than us."

At present, it has been confirmed that there are only two sequences that rely heavily on evolution coins to improve their combat power-cyber attack and old chess players.

However, if the cyber giant wants to develop new serial skills, it needs something called "Technology Points"—Technology points must be upgraded to a certain level to be obtained, and it has nothing to do with evolution coins.

However, there are many things that Cosimo can do with evolution coins, such as: strengthening the prosthetic body's health, durability, defense data, etc...

Moreover, there is almost no upper limit - that is to say, as long as the evolution coins are invested, he can become stronger indefinitely.

Since he is backed by the government, it is very easy for him to obtain evolution coins.

However, with Cosimo's personality, he wouldn't like the official collection of evolution coins from other players and hand them over to him.

After all, other players absolutely need evolution coins to improve their own combat power, which will directly determine their own life and death and subsequent development space.

If the national government blatantly collects chemical coins from ordinary players and aggregates them into the hands of serial players, it will undoubtedly directly deprive these ordinary players of their right to life.

This is against Cosimo's values ​​- just because of all kinds of self-restraints, and clearly has a career sequence with super high potential, Cosimo still stretches his hips into what he is now.

But if one day he suddenly figured it out and was willing to accept the evolutionary currency resources given by the government, then the strength of this little kid can definitely improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and it is not surprising that he even surpassed Lorenzo.

Regarding similar issues, there are many debates on the Internet: some netizens believe that resources should be pooled in the hands of top players.

After all, the evolution coins are not very useful in the hands of those low-level players - if a person with a combat power of 1 is raised to a combat power of 200, he may still be cannon fodder, and it is not as useful as raising a person with a combat power of 1000 to 1100.

Therefore, many netizens believe that if the old chess players can be drawn into the law enforcement team and given more evolutionary currency resources, the world's number one strength will definitely be able to rise to a higher level.

This is also the confusion most people have about Anson Lu not joining the law enforcement team?
Obviously, as long as he joins the law enforcement team, he can enjoy official resources from all over the world, but An Senlu chose to go alone, and even started a trade union by himself.

But in the same way, there are many people who support it, and many people oppose this approach, saying that it is completely against humanitarianism. How can we deprive the bottom players of their right to life and take resources from them?
Even so, the state still does not prohibit this practice, but they will not do it themselves, but quietly wait for those weak players to take the initiative to hand in the evolution coins.

If some players can't bear the pressure and choose to give up struggling, then these players can hand over the evolution coins to the evolution foundation, increasing the possibility of the world being saved.

In addition, although it sounds absurd, many impoverished players will choose to use "evolution coins" to pay for various living expenses during the holidays - food, housing, shopping, etc.
This kind of evolutionary currency handed over to the national enterprise, regardless of any channel, will eventually be uniformly paid to the country, which is almost the same as the performance of tax obligations.

However, the country will also use a corresponding amount of renminbi as compensation. For those citizens who have not participated in the evolution game, since they can't use the evolution coins, they might as well hand in the evolution coins they got from the players.

Anyway, in the sequence information currently released by the Evolution Foundation, most professional sequences have a limit to the height that can be achieved with evolution coins-for example, if you buy an item in the mall once, you can't buy it again. There is a limit to some extent.

Ordinary professional sequences, they need more levels than evolution coins-for them: as long as the dungeons are pushed out step by step, there will never be a shortage of evolution coins, and it is more than enough to purchase the limited sequence products in the mall.

However, "Old Chess Player" and "Cyber ​​Strike" are two extreme aliens. As long as you have enough evolution coins, the heights that these two sequences can reach are unimaginable.

This is why people are puzzled by Cosimo and An Senlu. Anyone of them can definitely grow into a monster as long as they rely on the authorities and use the resources of the law enforcement team.

However, Ansenlu did not join the official; and Cosimo was completely unwilling to accept the evolution currency resources obtained from the bottom players, so the official could not force him.

In addition to this, there are also sequences with relatively special mechanisms-they do not require evolution coins, nor do they require levels, and they require another specific object.

For example: Pope Bell, Devouring Hand.

Lorenzo absorbs the emotions from humans or monsters to derive sequence skills; Julius derives sequence skills by killing and devouring monsters, and can even briefly steal the skills of other sequence players.

Closer to home, the five members of the Hell Lighthouse made some explorations on the train and got some basic information - this "Rescue Train" has a total of 20 carriages, and each carriage is equipped with staff (NPC) .

Among them, the No. [-] compartment is the "birth point" of this copy, and it is also a place for the flight attendants to rest.

As for the rest of the carriages, there are all kinds of strange things, which can be described as "a hundred flowers bloom": there are food carriages and theater carriages in the front; gambling carriages, aquarium carriages, and library carriages in the rear;

Among them, the most against the sky is the magic existence of video game cars, aquarium cars, garden cars and so on.

The five people entered the dungeon. It was already dusk. After visiting all the cars on the train, they returned to the No. 9 car. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it was gradually getting dark.

The night is like a curtain, covering the vast and boundless Pacific Ocean, dyeing the emerald green tide into black, and at the same time, like dominoes being knocked down, every carriage of the train gradually brightens.

"Let me guess, someone will definitely sneak into the gambling car at night." An Senlu looked at the crow, spread his hands and said.

"No, Mr. Lu, although I'm very interested in what level the NPCs there can reach, but if it's as expected, the danger must be coming soon." Ritsu Urushihara raised the corners of his mouth.

Chu Qimo looked out the window, and the train was still running on the endless track, "Yes, from just now, the sound of the roar of the beast has become more obvious, and it comes from the bottom of the sea."

Under the night moon, the brightly lit train rumbled towards the other end of the sea level. The sea was ups and downs, and the tide became more and more violent, as if there were raging beasts lurking under this deep gray ocean.

They are menacing, coveting this unawe-inspiring train.

Uesugi Asuka just came out of the aquarium carriage. She hugged her elbows and looked at the three people with solemn faces: "So, what are we going to do? This task is to let us go on vacation on the train?"

At this moment, Yuri opened his eyes, and an emotionless voice reminded:

"coming."

"Bang!!!"

In the next moment, the sea surface on the right side of the track suddenly burst open, and black waves swept across the sky and covered the sky, and the deafening noise seemed to drown the entire world.

Under the moonlight, a gigantic monster with an astonishing size slowly emerged, roaring at the brightly lit train. It was a huge crimson whale, more than thirty feet long.

[Monster Name: Red Whale]

[Monster Level: Lv.22]

[Rewards for killing monsters: a lot of evolution coins, a lot of materials, unknown rewards. 】

"It's here." An Senlu raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, "Then we have to treat it well."

　Thank you so much for your monthly pass!

　　Corrected a typo, Captain Longfan's strength value is 60, not 70, and now I realize that the error is so outrageous.
