Global Games: Old Chess Players

An Senlu closed the door, and the wind and snow were blocked behind the door. He took off his cotton jacket and shoes, sat on the bed, let out a long breath, and stared at the floor for a while.

"Ding." The message sound came from the phone.

An Senlu lay down on the bed weakly, with his right arm pillowed behind his head, picked up the phone with his left hand, and looked at the screen.

There are two messages from Chu Qimo.

[Chu Qimo: President, you still have a chance. 】

[Chu Qimo: But I have no chance, so, no matter what the result is, I hope you will not regret it. 】

An Senlu stared at the message, his eyes obscured by his dark hair.

After a while, he put down his cell phone, closed the curtains, and blocked the morning light. In the dimly lit wooden house, he put his arms behind his head, closed his heavy eyelids, and fell into a deep sleep like that.

When he woke up, it was already July 7, and he slept from the early morning of July 12 to the next day.

An Senlu got up from the bed and looked up at the bubble that popped up in the upper right corner of his field of vision. He set the mute effect, but he could still receive messages from players on the friend list.

Four messages, the first two were received yesterday afternoon.

[Uesugi Asuka: Juliu asked if you want to go to Mexico for a meal, he treats you. 】

[Uesugi Asuka: Hey, are you still awake?Why did you go last night? 】

Anson Deer replied with a message.

[An Senlu: I've slept all day, don't bother me if I have nothing to do. 】

Asuka Uesugi returned quickly.

[Uesugi Asuka: Are you a pig?roll! 】

An Senlu yawned and looked at the other two messages, which were received last night.

[Jiang Yijie: An Senlu, here are the materials you want. 】

[Because you have set the "Do Not Disturb Mode", the other party's transaction application has been automatically rejected. 】

【Jiang Yijie: Are you not there?Then I will find you tomorrow. 】

"It's only been three days. The captain's efficiency is really fast."

He moved his fingers and replied quickly.

[An Senlu: Here we come, I slept early yesterday and didn't see it. 】

【Jiang Yijie: Well, I knew it. 】

【Jiang Yijie initiated a transaction application to you. 】

[Items given by the other party: 20 evolution coins, Philosopher's Stone*99 (legendary material), "Kazil's Blade"*[-] (rare material), etc...]

[Items requested by the other party: None. 】

An Senlu accepted the transaction application, stared at the extra [-] evolution coins, and typed and asked puzzledly:

"No, why did you give me an extra [-] evolution coins?"

Jiang Yijie typed back: "It's just a thought from the top management, uh, you understand."

"Oh, thank you for me and those big guys."

"Of course."

An Senlu closed the chat panel and opened Natasha's chess panel.

Upgrading Natasha needs 10 evolution coins. He originally only had 6 evolution coins on hand, and he happened to be short of some. The 8 evolution coins given by Huaxia's high-level executives are a timely help.

[It is detected that one of the upgrade routes "Ninja Master——Natasha" meets the upgrade requirements. May I ask whether to consume evolution coins and materials to upgrade this chess type? 】

"Upgrade." An Senlu said.

[1000 rare-level materials, 20 specific legendary-level materials-"Philosopher's Stone", and 10 evolution coins have been consumed. 】

[Congratulations, you have upgraded the unlimited advanced chess type from "rare level" to "epic level"! ! ! 】

"I hope the next step-up requirements won't be too harsh, otherwise I won't be able to stand it." An Senlu took a deep breath.

He didn't know whether the chess pieces selected by the headmaster as unlimited advanced chess types had to start from the low level. No matter what, without official help, it was hard for him to imagine that the headmaster could collect so many materials by himself.

An Senlu looked at the chess panel that had changed.

[Chess type name: Ninja Master - Natasha]

[Chess type level: MAX (this type of chess has reached its full level)]

[Chess Quality: Epic Level]

[Chess attributes: strength: 50; agility: 50; intelligence: 40]

[Chess skills:
1. Assassin instinct (blessed by a "fallen twilight god", Natasha has a natural assassin instinct, her reaction and skill are far beyond ordinary humans)

2. Thousands of Slashes (Natasha flies behind a target and uses a dagger to attack the opponent's nape. If the opponent is killed, the cooling time of the skill will be refreshed, and the nearest enemy around will be automatically searched for release)

3. Ninja breathing method (Natasha enters the stealth state in a short time, cannot be captured by the enemy's attack, will not fall into any control state, and restores 10% of the maximum health every second)
4. Ninja (Natasha leaves a shadow on the spot) (cooling time: 3 seconds)
5. Shadow return (Natasha's body can return to the position of the shadow at any time, and the shadow left after use will disappear)

5. Shadow stream kill (connect the shadows left behind, Natasha goes back and forth between the multiple shadows, and performs an irreversible continuous slash on the enemy within the range of the shadow connection) (the damage of this skill is affected by the "connected The number of shadows" influence - the more shadows, the higher the damage)]

An Senlu stared at the introduction of the last skill and raised his eyebrows.

"It sounds quite interesting. The more shadows left, the higher the damage caused, and there is no limit to the maximum number of shadows that exist at the same time. In theory, the upper limit of the damage of this skill can be raised infinitely."

Not only that, Natasha, who has advanced to a ninja master, can be described as "advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended"-"Shadow Flow Array Kill" and "Million Kill" bring her unlimited possibilities in offense; "Shadow" and "Ninja Breathing" brought her a certain degree of error tolerance in terms of survival.

Most importantly, the attribute can be said to be improved qualitatively.

The average attribute of Natasha at the rare level is only 20 points, and the average attribute of Natasha at the epic level has almost reached 50 points, so it can be more or less useful on the battlefield.

"Speaking of which, the beheading of a thousand people has become a beheading of ten thousand people. Afterwards, at the final level, will there be a beheading of a hundred million people." An Senlu complained.

Compared with attributes and skills, what he cares most about is the background story of the game.

For him, it only took two seconds to advance Natasha to the epic level.

But for Natasha, no matter which route Anson Lu chooses, she must spend a long time in her own world, during which she will definitely experience many stories...

[Description of chess types:
Continuing from the previous book, 14-year-old Natasha left the dilapidated Beverlyah and embarked on the road of redemption, in order to learn to control the "Blue Holy Flame" in her body and restore her body to a human form.

She was walking in the wilderness in confusion, looking at the starry night sky, and suddenly remembered the will of Master Ninja - if you encounter any unsolvable difficulties in the future, you can try to go to his hometown "Narlando", where There will be a solution.

After thinking twice, Natasha made up her mind to go to Narlando, the hometown of the master ninja. She wanted to see if anyone there knew how to lift the curse on her.

For a long time after that, Natasha was on her way to Narlando.

She put on a hood and a mask to hide her petrified body, avoiding all humans as best she could.

As long as it is a place full of people, whether it is a kingdom, a town, or a village, she bypasses them one by one without exception, in order to prevent the "Qinghong Holy Flame" hidden in her body from erupting out of control again, causing the people around her to be killed. Being involved in this innocent disaster caused the same tragedy as the Byphoa Kingdom at that time.

During this long journey, loneliness and sadness often linger in Natasha's heart.

Every night, she would think of the people of Byphoa Kingdom who were turned into stone statues, and the kind but incompetent king who accepted her.

It's all because of themselves that they will die...

As Natasha thought about it, her will became stronger and stronger. The pain caused by loneliness and curses did not overcome her, but instead made her more calm, steady and capable.

She crossed the wilderness, swamp, volcano, and glacier, witnessed the parting of people's life and death, walked through the treacherous and unpredictable secret realm, and gradually understood the words that the ninja master taught her in the past.

Finally, after the baptism of wind and rain, Natasha traveled thousands of miles to the end point on the map, the hometown of the ninja master "Narlando".

This is a village built near the Great Falls in the Valley of the Gods. As long as you look up, you can see the mountain that leads to the sky and the torrent pouring down from the mountain. It is magnificent and sacred. This is the first thought in Natasha's heart.

She took the token left by the ninja master and walked into the village. The villagers gathered together and first asked her to take off her mask and hood.

After hesitating for a long time, Natasha finally took off her mask and cloak. After she revealed her petrified body, the villagers did not yell at her as a monster, but took her to the "Deng Shen Ninja School" base.

The Djinn Ninja is the birthplace of the ninja masters. It was built behind the Great Falls of the Djinn Valley. Only those who pass through the rapids of the waterfall and pass the trial can see the Ninja.

After bidding farewell to the villagers, Natasha alone challenged the waterfall with enough pressure to kill countless humans. Finally, a month later, she crossed the waterfall and came to the back of the waterfall.

It was a bridge full of lanterns. Crossing the bridge, she saw a very dreamy new world, just like the Peach Blossom Land in a fairy tale, which cannot be described in words.

There is no sunlight here, but a sacred tree full of magic lamps is built in the center, providing a bright light source for this unworldly place day and night.

Soon, the ninjas of Ninja found Natasha and surrounded her.

Natasha showed the token of Master Ninja, and gradually integrated into this absurd and wonderful world. After practicing here for only one year, she inherited the nickname of Master Ninja, and took the first step to control the "Blue Rainbow Sacred Flame" power, regained the body in human form. 】

An Senlu's mood was complicated. Just thinking about it, he knew how long Natasha's journey had been.

In comparison, he just played a dungeon for half a year and killed a snow dragon, which sounded very easy.

He thought for a long time and murmured softly:
"According to the background story of the game, how old is Natasha now, 15 or 16, it sounds very young, but she has memories of many lifetimes..."

In any case, he decided to take a look at the advanced direction of "Master Ninja - Natasha".

[This type of chess has "unlimited advancement qualifications", and it can currently be upgraded to "legendary level", and has three advancement directions. 】

[Upgrade direction 100: "Deng Shen Sovereign—Natasha", upgrade requirements: 10 epic-level materials, 5 evolution coins, red tide-level materials-Deng Shen Scroll*[-]. 】

[Upgrade direction 100: "Fallen Black Hand——Natasha", upgrade requirements: 10 epic-level materials, 5 evolution coins, red tide-level materials—Heart of Black Hand*[-]. 】

[Upgrade direction three: "Dragon Guard—Natasha", upgrade requirements: 100 epic materials, 10 evolution coins, red tide materials——Dragon Shield*5. 】

"Three advanced routes, let's think about it slowly later." An Senlu sighed softly, "I need red tide grade materials to advance, so I really dare not think about what will happen next."

After washing up, he sat on the sofa and called out Natasha.

Natasha soon appeared in front of his eyes. As expected, Natasha, who had advanced to become a ninja master, had initially controlled the power of the Qinghong Holy Flame, and her body was no longer covered by stone layers.

Natasha, who has broken away from the identity of the stone statue, looks like nothing more than a flowering girl.

She was wearing a long black dress, about 1.7 meters tall, with a pair of cool purple eyes, and her facial features were as exquisite as a doll, but she revealed a kind of indifference that did not belong to this age.

"Long time no see, Natasha." An Senlu said.

"Long time no see, Lord... Anson Deer." Natasha stared at him and said blankly.

In Natasha's eyes, it should have been a year or two since she had seen her, so she almost forgot that Anson Deer had told him not to call him master, but Anson Deer.

Anson Lu could also understand her reaction.

Natasha has already slowly adapted to the life of Genin Ninzong, and she will definitely be very confused when she is called over suddenly.

In any case, seeing the normalized appearance of the stone statue of the queen, An Senlu still felt quite novel, and at the same time was happy for her.

"Do you want to have breakfast together?" He said, "I happen to be going to Huanjing to buy some food."

With her hands behind her back, Natasha stared at An Senlu motionlessly, her purple eyes flickering slightly.

After she lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, she raised her head again and said softly, "Of course, I wish for it."

After breakfast, Anson Deer let Natasha go back.

He sat on the bed alone and looked at his evolution coin balance.

[Your current balance: 4 evolution coins. 】

"There are only [-] evolution coins left, and I don't know if it is enough to buy a high-level extraordinary chess package." An Senlu muttered and opened the mall panel.

Ever since he was promoted to the third rank of the old chess player, he hadn't opened the mall much, and he didn't even know the price of the high-level extraordinary chess package. As a result, his eyes widened when he saw it this way.

[The price of a high-level extraordinary chess package: 8 evolution coins. 】

"[-]!" An Senlu's face darkened, "The master-level extraordinary chess bag will cost at least more than [-]? Is this something that people can afford?!"

After seeing the price, he didn't want to play chess for the time being. After all, the types of chess at hand were still enough, and the performance of Captain Dragon Sail and Floating Shark King hadn't reached the point of being eliminated by the times.

What's more, he hasn't tried the effect of Santa Claus and Christmas sleigh in actual combat.

After finishing a series of tasks, An Senlu went for a walk outside the house, and he happened to meet You Rui who was sitting on a public wooden chair reading a book.

"Morning."

"Morning." Yuri looked up from the book.

"By the way, I want to introduce a new friend of mine to you."

"new friend?"

"No, it's an old friend." Anson Lu scratched his cheek, "It's the pawn of my stone queen, but I haven't told you."

You Rui stared at An Senlu, as if saying: Do you still have this interest?
"Chess can also be a friend, can't it?"

"I don't quite understand it, but maybe."

"So I want to introduce you, and I will introduce you to everyone later."

"Okay." Yuri closed the book, his clear eyes turned to An Senlu, "I listen to you."

Time flies, and Liukan Town in March gradually becomes more comfortable. Due to the latitude and location, even though the town is surrounded by mountains, they can enjoy the warm sunshine for the first time in a long time.

Soon, the time came to 15 am on March NO.9, and the eighth round of dungeons officially started.

According to some speculations of the Evolution Foundation, the difficulty of the fourth round of dungeons after each three rounds of dungeons may increase sharply, similar to the "Tokyo dungeon" of the fourth round of dungeons.

At that time, even Ansen Lu was almost buried under the sword of the Wanqi God Statue, not to mention how serious the casualties of other players were.

So, in a worried public opinion environment, the eighth round of dungeons that everyone was looking forward to finally arrived.

An Senlu is not a person who likes to cause too much trouble for others. The reason why he did not accept Jiang Yijie's invitation to join the Huaxia national team ahead of schedule is because it would bring great public opinion pressure to the Huaxia officials.

So he knew very well that the eighth round of the dungeon was an opportunity for him to return to the public's attention. As long as he used it well, he could even wash away the previous negative public opinion in one go.
