Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 184 I will continue to move forward, by whatever means

On the evening of February 2, in the town of Liukan.

Although the town of Ryukan once fell under the invasion of monsters, most of the houses were intact except for the mirror device used to project sunlight.

In the afternoon, Anson went to New York for business, and Yuri chose a house for him. The location is near the forest at the foot of the mountain, and it will be quieter. Just look out the window and you can see the white snow field.

The layout of the house is very fresh and simple. Most of the furniture is made of wood. Compared with the light pollution all over the big cities, you can experience the cool and simple atmosphere in small towns in Norway.

The town of Liukan is not big, and An Senlu can go to the residence of Qi Yuanlu and Chu Qimo after a few steps out of the house, so they can take care of each other if something happens.

Night enveloped this cold northern town. An Senlu closed the windows to block out the howling cold wind. Then he took out the mattress and pillows from his luggage and spread them on the bed.

"I'm exhausted." He rubbed his sore shoulder.

During the whole day today, An Senlu did quite a lot.

First, clear the monsters in Liukan Town. This is a thankless task. After all, killing monsters outside of the dungeon will not get any evolution coins or experience rewards.

Then in the afternoon, he ran to New York, sneaked into the heavily guarded law enforcement building, handed Cosimo a sequence card, and helped the little cyber giant regain his player qualification.

In the end, he didn't return to Liukan Town until night, and took a Christmas sleigh to the top of the mountain to inspect the damaged mirror device, trying to see if it could be repaired.

The ending is that the different-dimensional kangaroo took out a bunch of inexplicable gadgets from his pocket, and restored the huge mirror device destroyed by the monster to its original state.

An Senlu was startled at the time, and thought: Comrade Kangaroo, you still have this kind of ability. I thought you were playing me before?

Mr. Kangaroo didn't explain anything, and left after leaving behind a figure hiding his fame.

No matter what, through this sunlight refracting device, even the town of Liukan, which is surrounded by mountains, can receive sunlight, but it is only a corner of the central square.

An Senlu didn't know how long they would have to live in this lonely town.

But purely in terms of benefits, this change is actually quite good. After all, Shangshi City has lost the protection of the principal, and now all organizations in the world know that the base of the union "Hell Lighthouse" is Shangshi High School.

If they make enemies with others in the dungeon later and are targeted by some villains, maybe one day when they are still resting in the dormitory with their eyes closed, they will face unpredictable dangers.

An Senlu opened the friend list again to see if his friends had been deleted. Through the friend list, he could see which city his friend was currently in.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, An Senlu must have deleted all friends related to the official, otherwise they only need to look at the friend list to know that An Senlu has moved to Liukan Town.

"No matter what three seven 61, let's raise the level of the chess pieces first..." An Senlu lay down on the bed, with one hand resting on the back of his head, and the other hand opened the chess panel.

Having obtained the settlement rewards for the fifth round of the dungeon, and he also took a lot of legendary materials from An Senlu for nothing, the amount of legendary materials An Sen Lu has is more or less enough to upgrade two chess types to the second level.

【已完成筛选，符合升级条件的传说级棋种如下：黯光之龙（1级；最大潜力2级）、圣诞雪橇（1级；最大潜力5级）、龙帆船长（1级；最大潜力3级）。】

An Senlu glanced at his material quantity, and then checked the upgrade requirements of these three chess types.

The Dark Dragon needs 40 legendary materials and 2 evolution coins to upgrade to the full level;
Each level up of the Christmas sleigh requires 10 legendary materials and 1 evolution coins;
Dragon Sail Captain needs 20 legendary materials for each level up.

Moreover, excluding the materials used to create the 'Wanqi God Statue', the total number of legendary materials available to him is only 50.

Brown eyes moved on the panel, and Ansen Lu made a judgment without thinking: "Raise the Dragon of Darkness and the Christmas sleigh to the second level."

The Dark Dragon's two tricks "Shadow Forest" and "Shadow Barrier" must be upgraded to level 2 to unlock. Think of An Senlu's performance in the arena, and you will know how important these two skills are up.

If you can upgrade the Dragon of Darkness to the second level, it will definitely be a qualitative improvement, and it is the first choice without thinking.

After upgrading the Dragon of Darkness, there are only 10 legendary materials left, which is not enough to upgrade Captain Dragonsail, so you can only upgrade the Christmas Sleigh, which has a lower priority.

【已消耗行囊中的传说级材料——珍藏版乌贼触手*5、红鲸的背鳍*5、黑龙的眉棱骨*10、黑龙的折翼*10、神社的碎片（传说级材料）*20。】

[3 evolution coins have been paid, your current balance: 11.75 evolution coins]

【黯光之龙已提升至Lv2，已解锁强力技能——“黯影丛林”、“黯影屏障”；全面属性获得提升——力量：55→65；敏捷：55→65；智力：55→65】

【圣诞雪橇已提升至Lv2，全面属性获得提升——力量：30→33；敏捷：50→55；智力：30→33】

"Invincible!" An Senlu raised the corners of his mouth, "With the Captain Dragon Sail and the Dragon of Darkness in hand, as well as the sled guarantee, and the blessing of the blue bird, there will be no need for floating mad sharks and kangaroos in the future."

"Gaba!" The kangaroo's protest came from his head.

An Senlu shrugged, "Okay, Mr. Kangaroo can still be used, and the floating fish should go away, buddy finally got rid of the identity of a fish tank wholesaler."

The different-dimensional kangaroo is a kind of functional chess, no matter what the level is, it can be used as long as the occasion is correct.

However, it is an indisputable fact that pure combat chess types such as "Floating Fish in a Tank" and "Queen Stone Statue" will gradually be replaced by more powerful combat chess types in the later stages.

After completing the work of upgrading the chess types, An Senlu called out the shopping mall panel and said: "Use two chances to draw a lottery in a shopping mall, and one chance to draw a lottery in a high-level shopping mall."

Following the sound, two turntable panels appeared in front of him.

With previous experience, An Senlu didn't even bother to look at the rewards on the panel. It was enough to know what he had drawn out, and the rest were farts, purely for mentality.

If he can get [-] evolution coins, he will be purely happy;
But if he knows that the other rewards that can be drawn from this turntable are at least [-] evolution coins, then his happy mood will most likely disappear.

Therefore, An Senlu learned a very practical mentality from the previous lottery draws - change what can be changed, accept what cannot be changed, and don't waste time on things that cannot be obtained.

[The lottery is in progress, the result of the lottery has appeared]

[Two chances to draw prizes in shopping malls - 1, 2500 evolution coins 2, a random board]

[A high-level mall opportunity - a random board. 】

"Two chessboards at a time?" An Senlu froze for a moment, and opened the chessboard panel with his hand.

[Chessboard Name: Huge Chessboard]

[Effect of the chessboard: On this chessboard, the first chess piece you call out will greatly expand its measurements (affecting attack range, not affecting attributes), but the damage it receives will increase by 100%. This effect only lasts to the chess area Finish. 】

"Besides getting bigger, it has no other effect, and it will take twice as much damage."

An Senlu raised his eyebrows and put his hand on his chin.

"That makes sense, can I expand the capacity of the sled?"

He can still vividly recall the scene where the four of them from the Hell Lighthouse were crowded in a narrow sled, and had a dizzy fight with Asuka.

Therefore, when Anson Lu, who was full of resentment, saw this chessboard, his first thought was to make the sled huge.

In any case, the practicality of this chessboard is still very high.

Amplified chess types, the skill range and attack range have been improved, it is definitely good for spawning monsters, and it is only for dealing with mobs, the negative buff that doubles the damage is not important at all.

[Chessboard Name: Molten Chessboard]

[Effect of the chessboard: On this chessboard, any "fire-related" moves of the chess type will increase the damage by 30%]

"However, I don't seem to have any fire-breathing chess pieces, so far I only have one Dark Light Dragon."

An Senlu shrugged, "Forget it, as long as it works."

His impression of the chessboard has not changed much - the effect of the chessboards obtained so far is quite average, and it will not have that kind of qualitative change in the battle, it can only be icing on the cake.

"Okay... sleep."

An Senlu fell on the bed, closed his heavy eyelids, and couldn't get up again.

Silent all night.

The next day, that is, in the early morning of February 2th, the global combat power rankings were updated again.

[It has been detected that all dungeons around the world have ended, and the global combat power ranking will be announced soon...]

[The number of players participating in the dungeon in Liukan Town is 0, the death toll is 0, and only 0 players returned to the city safely. 】

"Is there no one here?" An Senlu complained.

[The average combat power of Liukan Town ranks among all cities in the world—not yet in the top 100. 】

[Finally, in Liukan Town's combat power list, the player currently at the top of the list is An Senlu! 】

[This player ranks NO.1 globally in combat power! ! !Congratulations to the player 'Ansenlu' who won the first place in the world for the fourth time in a row, breaking the record of the player who has stayed in the first place in the world for the longest time so far! 】

[A permanent collectible title from the game system has been obtained - the chosen one (luck +2)]

"Oh." Anson Lu raised his eyebrows, "The permanent title can still play a role without wearing it."

He glanced at his luck attributes.

[Luck: 9 (3 points are the bonuses of the titles "Top of the World" and "The Chosen One") (affects the trigger probability of some events)]

An Senlu looked carefully at the label of the luck attribute, and then realized an important thing - no wonder he always encountered sequence events, it turned out that his luck attribute was much higher than other players.

He has triggered two sequence events, and some of the crows have not encountered a sequence event. This depends on the "luck attribute".

For the rest of the time, Yu Rui was still in bed, and the other four people who got up early got together at Qi Yuanru's house in a tacit understanding.

Because Crow has very strict taste in home furnishing, before in the Shangshi dormitory there was nothing to do, but now I can choose the house by myself, and I will definitely choose the best one.

Chu Qimo cooked in the kitchen of his home and brought a sumptuous breakfast for the five of them.

"Ms. Chu's cooking skills are nice." Asuka gave a thumbs up.

"Thank you." Chu Qimo took a sip of hot milk.

Ritsu Urushihara drank his coffee and raised his mouth: "Miss Asuka, what is my cooking skill?"

Asuka froze for a moment, and was about to answer, but Chu Qimo took the first step.

"Monster level." Chu Qimo said lightly, "Also, pulling and trampling is prohibited on the hell lighthouse."

"Hahaha, you are quite cute, Mr. Chu." Asuka Uesugi was overjoyed.

An Senlu played with his mobile phone, "Several, the sixth round of dungeons will start on February 2th, this holiday is quite long, let's have fun."

Urushihara Ritsu opened his mouth to remind: "Mr. Lu, but you are a wanted criminal now, remember to be careful when you go out with your travel pass."

"Please, I'm number one in the world, be careful." Anson said disdainfully without raising his head, "Sequence players, right? Let's fight one by one."

"However, the national team will hunt down the chairman, especially the one from Russia." Chu Qimo said expressionlessly.

After a pause, he added: "As for the law enforcement team, they are all old acquaintances over there, and they probably won't do anything to the president."

Also in the early morning of February 2th, New York, the Law Enforcement Team Building.

Shindai Ruri, as always, is wearing the same kimono for thousands of years, but today it is a light cherry-colored kimono, matched with her curly short and medium hair, giving people a lazy and noble impression.

She brought a pineapple bread, threw it to Cosimo who was on the hospital bed, and waved with a smile, "Hey, Brother Cosimo, are you feeling better?"

Cosimo stared at the phone, took the bread without looking up, tore open the package and took a bite: "I'm fine, Sister Liuli, how many people know about this now?"

The mobile phone displayed a top news from a famous player forum - [The old chess player went berserk in Moscow, and the pope gave up his life to save others, but broke an arm? 】

There are various discussions under the webpage, but most of the netizens are talking about Ansenlu and the inaction of Huaxia officials-"If Huaxia officials can control Ansenlu in time instead of letting him act arbitrarily, it will not cause such a situation. tragedy".

"Huh?" Shendai Liuli raised his eyebrows, "Well, what are you referring to?"

Cosimo took a deep breath and slowly raised his eyes.

"An Senlu took the blame for my brother, this matter."

Shendai Liuli was silent for a moment, hugged her elbows, and sighed softly.

"Only Jiang Yijie and Gu Qiu, except for the two of them and An Senlu's own people, the rest probably don't know the inside story."

"Then... can you still contact An Senlu?"

Shindai Ruri shrugged and complained.

"I can't get in touch. He has already deleted all the official sequence players. Really... I finally added him."

"Ok."

"What about you?"

"Although I got my player account back, my original friends are gone. It doesn't matter if he deletes me or not."

Having said that, Cosimo showed his empty friend list.

"Then add me back as a friend first." Shendai Liuli initiated a friend request to him.

Cosimo agreed to her request and lowered his eyes.

"Blame me."

"No." Kamidai Liuli shrugged, "The captain's problem doesn't happen now, and it will happen in the future. He will lose control sooner or later. The fact that you are in the North Pole just accelerated the speed of his loss of control."

"Besides, you didn't do anything wrong." Her beautiful eyes flashed a trace of disdain, "It's those scumbags who are wrong, okay? The Russian government still calls them 'people's heroes', it's really ridiculous .”

"But I seem to be too naive," said Cosimo softly.

"It's a little bit, as long as you realize it."

"Shouldn't I stand up at the North Pole? They're going to die, it's just that close."

"They are scumbags, not worth your life to save them."

"But..." Cosimo's eyes were complicated, "What if the people standing there are not a group of scum?"

"Then you shouldn't take the risk to save them. You are the sequence player with the highest potential in the law enforcement team. You are our son of tomorrow. Your existence can save hundreds of millions of lives in the future. How can you risk your life just for them?" .”

"Right."

"Do you think that because Anson Deer did that on the train, you're affirming your own mind?"

"One thing, at that time he also took the risk and chose to save the two people outside the carriage."

"If, at that time, An Senlu killed all the people in the carriage, including you and me, just to save those two people, would you still be moved by his actions?"

"But……"

"You want to say, but he succeeded." Shendai Liuli said deeply, "But it was a gamble. If you learn from his method, can you guarantee that you will win every time?"

After a pause, she continued, "No matter which time you make a wrong bet, you will pay a similar price: in order to save two people, you have to sacrifice the entire carriage."

Cosimo was speechless.

"Really?" Shindai Ruri smiled.

"Yeah." Cosimo said in a deep voice, "I'm too naive."

"Your potential is your responsibility. As long as you progress step by step, you can have stronger power and help more people in the future, not just for the thirty players in the North Pole, taking their lives."

"I……"

"Calm down and think about it, you are the youngest member of the law enforcement team, and no one will demand too much from you."

"I know. In the future, when necessary, I will act with my own life as the first priority."

"That's right." Shendai Liuli nodded.

Cosimo was silent for two seconds, and asked, "Brother, how are you doing now?"

"The condition is good. I heard that Huaxia's national team has hired a very powerful psychologist. It's a beautiful girl. The sequence is called 'Bamboo Shadow Therapist'. Lorenzo is receiving treatment from her."

"That's good." Cosimo's face softened by two points.

"Well, Ansenlu is the only one who is not sure about the situation." Jindai Liuli blinked playfully, "But it doesn't matter, that guy is number one in the world, even if he is wanted by the authorities, nothing will happen."

"I want to find him."

"You can't find him. He is that kind of person. He doesn't want you to find him. You will never find him in your life."

"Liuli, what can I do..." After a pause, he continued, "He has helped me so much, but I can't help him with anything."

Please, it’s fine if you don’t cause trouble for him, and you still want to help him, little kid... Jindai Ruri smiled bitterly in her heart, she rubbed her sore forehead, and the sleeves of her kimono shook slightly.

"Since he didn't ask for help, it means that he doesn't need help from others for the time being. Don't be too self-righteous."

Cosimo did not speak, but pursed his lips.

"Didn't they give you a sequence card, didn't they just fancy your potential?" Shendai Liuli said again, "Okay, don't think about these messy things, fighting monsters and upgrading is the biggest reward for him. "

"Am I qualified to catch up with him?"

"Of course, otherwise, why do you say you are the son of the law enforcement team?" Shendai Liuli said.

Except for the world's number one sequence - "Old Chess Player", "Cyber ​​Strike" is the only sequence that can achieve qualitative improvement by relying on 'evolution coins'.

Therefore, the Evolution Foundation has high hopes for Cosimo. They hope that one day, this kid can grow into a leading player beyond Ansenlu and Lorenzo.

"I want to understand, Sister Liuli." Cosimo raised his eyes, "I will continue to move forward, by any means, until I can share the responsibility on my shoulders for my brother and An Senlu."

"Although the second grade is a bit low, this attitude is right." Shendai Liuli said with a smile: "In short, welcome back to the law enforcement team, our number two player."
