Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 183 "Anywhere is fine, as long as you are here."

Norway, town of Rjukan.

This town is located on a mountain, and its location is very ingenious. It happens to be surrounded by mountains, so from September to March of the next year, the residents of the town cannot see the sun at all.

This situation has lasted for more than 100 years since the establishment of the town.

However, the situation of this small town cannot be completely blamed on the surrounding mountains. One of the main reasons is the high latitude of Norway.

After a long period of time, the local residents could no longer bear the days without the sun, so some residents built cable cars on the top of the mountain at their own expense, allowing people to take the cable car to bask in the sun on the mountain. This tradition has been continued for dozens of years. year.

With the advancement of technology, many citizens have put forward various plans, hoping that the town can enjoy the sunshine, for example: blasting a hill to create a fake sun...

However, these plans were shelved due to bad timing.

This situation did not change until 2013.

During this year, Hydro provided technical support and capital equipment to the town of Liukan.

After the unanimous vote of the residents, they officially decided to set up a set of huge mirrors on the top of the mountain, and then use the principle of mirror reflection to project the "missed" sunlight onto the central square of the town.

In this way, Liukan Town has a place where the sun can shine.As long as the people in the town want to bask in the sun, they will gather in the square. Even though the sun only covers a small area, it is enough to make them happy.

The project only started in 2013, and it took two full years to complete, during which an incalculable amount of money was spent.

By 2015, the "artificial sun" in the town was successfully completed, and the local people no longer needed to climb to the top of the mountain to bask in the sun. In order to commemorate the day when they had the "sun", they specially set up the "Sun Festival" to commemorate this great day .

Everything is going in a good direction.

But it was destroyed by a big step taken by the world, and the beauty of the past no longer exists.

Two months ago, the first round of the evolution dungeon in Liukan Town declared a failure. The players who participated in the dungeon and the local citizens living in Liukan Town all faced death without exception.

Since then, the Norwegian town has fallen.

The monsters show their teeth and claws, wantonly playing with this small town shrouded in icebergs and snow.

Not only that, many major cities in Norway were also doomed, so the Norwegian government had no time to manage this town, and simply ignored it, as if it never existed.

Until February 2026, 2, Anson Deer took over the city.

"There are so many things to blame, and the Norwegian government doesn't find anyone to take care of it." He yawned and muttered.

It was only the monsters in the first round of dungeons, but it was very easy to solve them. He summoned his most tacit old partner, the stone statue of the queen, and killed a child with one knife. In just 10 minutes, he solved all the monsters entrenched in the city.

As for the local boss, it was a huge snow wolf.

An Senlu summoned what he got from An Senlu—the Dragon of Darkness to solve it. In front of this legendary chess, the boss of the first round of the dungeon was nothing to mention, and there was no bones left in the blink of an eye.

"Roar--!!!"

The paws of the Dragon of Darkness fell, and the huge snow wolf fell to the ground with a thud. Ansenlu exhaled a breath of hot air, and happily slapped the stone statue of the queen beside him.

The stone statue of the queen lowered its head, staring blankly at the cold palm, on which there was still a trace of warmth from the boy's palm.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at the imposing Dragon of Dark Light with cold eyes, the blue flames in her eyes flickering in the snow.

She only needs to take a look at it, and she can know how big the difference in strength between herself and this dragon is. Therefore, the queen's resolute and cold face is covered with a layer of loneliness.

"It's finished, everyone can rest." An Senlu said lazily.

The stone statue of the queen nodded gently, put her hands behind her back, and waited quietly for Ansenlu to cancel the chess field, so that she could leave the field as a matter of course.

She also knew in her heart that there would be fewer and fewer occasions when this person needed her in the future.

The monsters facing the dungeon are getting stronger and stronger, and the chess pieces around An Senlu are also getting stronger. She used to be the most proud queen among the stone statues, but now she is just the most ordinary member of the chess library.

The proud and mighty captain, the dark dragon that destroys the world, and the blue bird that flies through time, she is nothing in front of the boy's new companions, and she will only be replaced more thoroughly in the future, buried in the dust of history.

Even so, she will still secretly miss... on the Titanic, drinking afternoon tea with this boy beside her; in his room, reading his favorite books, trying to understand the young master's throbbing... move.

As if sensing what the queen was thinking, An Senlu opened the union chat panel and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all the time."

The stone statue of the queen was stunned for a moment, its burning blue eyes slightly narrowed, and a faint smile flashed across it. At the end, she took An Senlu's hand and gently kissed the back of his hand.

The cold touch came from the back of his hand, and An Senlu exhaled a breath of white air.

The chess field was closed, and the dragon of dark light and the stone statue of the queen left one after another.

The young man looked around, and the town of Liukan was empty, as if the whole world was in a cold tone, and everything was in a depressing dark blue—the dark sky, the dark snow, the dark mountains, the dark trees, the dark houses, the dark blue. trail.

The mirror equipment that the townspeople spent huge sums of money on was also destroyed by the monsters. The sunlight failed to pass through the mirror again and shine into the square in the center of the town.

The sunlight that the sun shines on this small town is all swallowed by the surrounding mountains. Everything is so dead, but it is so deserted and reassuring, like a safe haven isolated from the world.

An Senlu put his hands in his pockets and said softly, "Anyway, although it's a bit deserted, it's quite suitable for seclusion."

After dealing with a series of matters, he used the union panel to call the four people from the Hell Beacon.

Before coming to Liukan Town alone, Ansenlu had already made an appointment with them—they were responsible for bringing all the furniture they should bring with them, and he was responsible for cleaning up the local monsters.

Compared with the former, Anson Lu felt that the latter was much easier.

Soon, Uesugi Asuka, Chu Qimo, Urui, and Urushihara Ritsu came to Liukan Town with travel tickets one after another. Not only that, even Juliu flew over from Chicago specially.

"How to say?" An Senlu exhaled hot air into his hands and rubbed his palms together, "Are you all satisfied? If you are not satisfied, it will be difficult to find a new base."

"It's icy and snowy..." Uesugi Asuka sighed softly while resting her forehead, "Besides, in this geographical environment, there is not even a little sunshine, you are too good at finding a place, my President Shika."

"I don't think it's a big problem." Julius said blankly.

"Really?" An Senlu cocked his eyebrows.

Chu Qimo took a small notebook and raised an objection: "President, Juliu's opinion doesn't count. After all, he wanders around the United States all day long, and he doesn't need to come and live with us."

"That's true." An Senlu curled his lips.

"Anyway, how about trying to live here for a while?" Urushihara smiled, "If not, we can go to Chicago to join Juliu later."

"Are you kidding? When the rankings are refreshed, the number one in Chicago will definitely be the 'Old Chess Player'. Then where else can you hide? Officials will find it in no time." Juliu said with a sneer.

"So, I can only choose this kind of place where no one lives. I will definitely be the most powerful in any city I go to. When the time comes, the whole city will report my name. What can I do?"

"Although it's true, why does it sound so irritating?" Asuka's eyes twitched.

"That's right, you've admitted that it's reality, so it's completely free from narcissism and exaggeration, okay?"

"Okay, I won't pick any more." Asuka Uesugi let out a long sigh of relief, and said slowly, "First find a house where you can live, clean it up, and then release the daily necessities."

At this moment, Yuri was raising his clear eyes and looking around.

She was born in the pier village in Iceland, where it is also covered with ice and snow most of the time throughout the year, and the difference from Rjukan Town will not be too big.

Chu Qimo has been traveling around the world with his master since he was a child, and he has been to places with colder climates; needless to say, Qi Yuanlu, as the world's number one gambler, has connections all over the world, so he has seen everything;

But Uesugi Asuka and Ansenlu are different: one of them grew up in the United States and Japan, and the other grew up in the eastern part of China. They have rarely lived in such a harsh climate and such a rare environment.

An Senlu approached the silent white-haired girl and asked her opinion.

"Do you like it here?"

"I don't like it, but I don't hate it either."

"Will it remind you of your hometown?" An Senlu asked in a low voice.

"It's ok."

"It has something to do with it." An Senlu sighed softly, rubbing her slender and soft white hair, "We will all have to live here for a long time."

"Anywhere..." the Icelandic girl whispered.

Having said that, she covered the lower half of her face with a book, and added: "It's good that you are here."

Her voice was very soft, so light that it was almost covered by the howling wind and snow, but it was clearly heard by An Senlu.

An Senlu froze for a moment, nodded, and said incoherently: "Ah, me too, um, that's good."

"Here, can I ski?"

"Should be fine, I'll accompany you to find a ski resort later?" Ansen Lu squeezed his chin and said solemnly: "Or... we just ski on the mountain, and I ask the Dragon of Darkness to help open a ski trail?"

You Rui put his hand on his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly, as if he thought it was quite interesting in his heart. It was his first attempt to open up a ski trail by himself.

"In short, it's rare to move, so be happy." An Senlu said thoughtfully, "It's not good to stay at Shangshi all the time, it reminds me of people I hate."

After the principal left, he was more or less reluctant to stay in Shangshi High School, because this familiar school had changed for him, and he could never go back to the past.

An Senlu would often think of the person who would pat him on the shoulder as soon as he saw him, and forcefully take him to the principal's office to drink tea and play chess.That person is no longer there, but it seems that he has been connected with that scene, and he can't part it no matter what.

Therefore, for a long time, he would rather go back to his broken apartment to rest alone than sleep in the school dormitory every day.

"President, can you find a house to live in first, and then come here to talk about love." Chu Qimo's voice rang faintly in An Senlu's ear.

Yuri's ears turned red, and he couldn't speak for a while.

An Senlu's face was also red, and he retorted cursingly: "Where is there any talk of love?! Teacher Chu, can you stop slandering me? Do you still want to record this imaginary in your diary!"

"So, what the hell are you doing?!" In the distance, Asuka, who was already looking at the house, shouted at them.

"Mr. Lu, there are a lot of houses here." Urushihara reminded, "If you procrastinate any longer, we might pick out the house you want first."

"Come on, come on!" An Senlu held Yuri's hand and ran towards the three of them in the snow.
