Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 98 Crow’s Choice

[The winner of the second game - Lava Coaster is ‘Hell’s Lighthouse’. 】

[Current score, Hell’s Beacon (2 points): Law Enforcement Team (0 points)]

[The third game will start in 6 hours, players please prepare in advance.]

After the second game, they returned to the familiar monitoring room.

The surveillance picture changed, from the two dark passages to the picture of two lava cave entrances.

President Lu took out a bottle of 'Nano Medical Spray' from his bag and threw it to Chu Qimo, "Teacher Chu, continue."

"Thank you, President." Chu Qimo took the bottle of spray and said calmly: "Also, don't call me teacher, I'm only one year older than you, and you're still number one in the world."

"It's a small matter, you should treat the wound first." Ansonlu said.

To be honest, he originally wanted to summon the 'Bishop Stone Statue' to help Chu Qimo heal, but that was too slow, so he gave Chu Qimo a bottle of medical spray directly.

After Chu Qimo used spray to treat the wounds on his body, he closed his eyes and took a rest while holding his sword bag.

Asuka Uesugi walked out of the toilet.

She looked around and saw that everyone seemed a little tired except Qi Yuanlu.

[In the settlement process of the dungeon, the higher the total score of the team, the higher the settlement reward each team member will receive; the team that becomes the winner of the dungeon will receive a higher reward.]

[The contribution proportion of each player on the team to the second game is being evaluated. 】

[NO.1——Anson Lu (former chess player): [Contribution accounted for 35.2%]★MVP

NO.2——Yuri (Snow Country Walker): 20%

NO.3——Chu Qimo (Sword of Dark Dome): 17%

NO4——Uesugi Asuka (Crimson Dragon Wing): 15%

NO.5——Qi Yuanlu (Gamblers of Crows): 5%】

"Wait a minute, did I hear it wrong?" Ansonlu gave a look of disdain:

"Isn't there someone whose contribution only accounts for 5%? No, that person also happened to bring an 'inflatable bed' and a 'vacation eye mask', and slept soundly in the dungeon, right?"

Qi Yuanlu took a sip of water and said calmly: "After all, in this situation, my room for performance is really limited."

"Hey, we have such a huge advantage, what's the point of reviewing it?" Asuka said.

"No, we have to review the review to see if any actors are hanging up!" Ansonlu retorted.

Asuka Uesugi ignored Ansonka and said unhappily:

"I'm convinced, this dungeon won't give us a place to eat, so we'll just have to think about this hellish place?"

Anson Deer took out a piece of bread from his bag and threw it towards Asuka:

"Here, this is for you."

"Thank you."

Asuka Uesugi caught the pineapple bread, tore open the wrapping paper and put it in her mouth.

"When you enter the next game, there should be a place similar to a canteen." Qi Yuanlu said: "Before this, there were very few dungeons that did not provide food sources."

"Here," Yuri suddenly said, "you can watch the video."

Ansonlu glanced at her. The Icelandic girl was lowering her head and fiddling with some buttons on the console. The surveillance screen immediately jumped up, and the surveillance footage of both teams could be seen.

Asuka Uesugi raised her eyebrows, "I remember that before, you couldn't reverse it."

"That's right, it couldn't be done before." Qi Yuanlu said.

"Oh?" Ansonlu approached the monitoring station, "Then I can observe what the mole who contributed 5% was doing just now."

I saw that in the surveillance screen, Qi Yuanlu was sitting in his seat almost the entire time.

He kept moving his deep eyes, seeming to be observing the situation on the upper and lower sides. Finally, after confirming that nothing happened to him, he simply left.

"Lu Jun, compared to this," Qi Yuanlu also approached the monitoring station, "shouldn't we observe the performance of the law enforcement team in actual combat?"

"I've seen some videos, and Lorenzo is indeed quite capable," Asuka said.

Ritsu Urushihara said calmly: "Since even Miss Uesugi said that he has strength, he should not be underestimated."

"It's just 'a little bit'."

Uesugi Asuka added disdainfully, sat down against the wall, and silently bit the piece of bread.

Anson deer finished eating the bread and patted the crumbs on his hands:

"Wait, it sounds like I don't know the sequence skills of the 'Crazy Bell Pope', right?"

Yuri adjusted the console, and the monitoring screen on the right was reversed to the time before the game started, and the roller coaster slowly drove into the lava cave.

Immediately, the fan in the dome started spinning crazily.

In an instant, Lorenzo, who was sitting at the very back, stood up, and a huge golden bell appeared in mid-air. This golden bell vibrated at a terrifying frequency, and gray characters kept rippling out of it.

"What is this?" Anson Deer stared at the characters.

"Emotional characters." Qi Yuanlu explained, "The Mad Bell Pope can collect the specific 'emotions' that others have towards him and turn these emotions into his own power."

"Come on, this sounds too fierce?" Anson was shocked.

The huge golden bell shook violently in mid-air, making a deafening sound that covered up the hurricane emanating from the fan.

Immediately afterwards, Lorenzo's figure was wrapped in golden emotional characters - these characters rotated crazily in the air, lingering around his body like a planet orbiting the earth.

"Awesome." Anson Deer commented.

"In my understanding, this is a two-sided ability." Urushi Yuanlu looked at Lorenzo with his dark eyes.

"Double-sided?"

"That's right." Crow continued:

"If others have positive emotions towards Lorenzo, then Lorenzo will also receive positive power, such as hope, faith, worship, love, etc."

within the screen.

Lorenzo's body was dragged upward by those golden characters. He was like a god flying in the sky. From beginning to end, his body was wrapped in the sphere formed by the golden characters.

The next moment, Lorenzo slapped the golden bell in the air with his palm.

"Bang!"

Along with the loud noise, deep palm prints appeared on the surface of the golden clock. The golden clock was violently knocked away and hit the fan directly, getting stuck in the gap between the two fan blades.

The fan can no longer function and the difficulty of the game plummets.

"However, if others have negative emotions towards Lorenzo," Urushihara Ritsu said quietly, "then Lorenzo will gain a negative power, a kind of tyrannical power."

"Uh, what do you mean by negative emotions?" Ansonlu raised his eyebrows.

"Fear, hatred, disgust." Qi Yuanliu said patiently, "Similar to these negative emotions, they can all be absorbed by Lorenzo."

"He can only absorb human emotions towards him?"

"No, you can also absorb monsters." Qi Yuanliu said.

Ansonlu said in surprise, "It sounds awesome, then why can't he collect positive and negative emotions at the same time to activate both types of skills?"

"This can be done." Qi Yuanlu said slowly:

"As the 'Pope of Mad Bells', Lorenzo must accept both positive and negative emotions. In fact, the power associated with 'negative emotions' will be more powerful than the power of 'positive emotions'."

"That's too fierce."

On the screen, Lorenzo's brown trench coat was swaying in the wind, his quaint long hair was rolled up, and his blue eyes were full of majesty.

What he didn't expect was that even though he stopped the fan from running, the roller coaster was still falling inexorably.

"His teammates don't seem to be very reliable," Anson said.

Lorenzo's other four teammates, their serial names are: Gu Qiu (The Matrix), Jindai Ruri (Peerless Sakura Sword), Deckard Kil (Transcendence Eagle), and Cosimo (Cyber ​​Strike).

At this time, Kamishiro Ruri pulled out a tachi from nowhere, and countless cherry blossom petals scattered from the blade of the tachi.

"Whoosh——!"

"Wow——!"

The petals were flying, and she split the back sections of the roller coaster at an incredible speed.

This seems to be done to reduce the overall weight of the roller coaster.

And at this moment, Cosimo's whole body was equipped with a bloated cybernetic body.

"Bang!"

This little blond shot seemed to turn into a 2-meter-tall mechanical giant in an instant, shooting toward the bottom track and catching the front of the car with its strong mechanical arms!

"Bang!"

Cosimo's arms were deformed by the pressure and were about to break in an instant.

He groaned, and his figure kept being pressed downwards!

"Whoops——!!!"

At this moment, Deckard Kiel also took action. He spread out his huge eagle wings to protect Cosimo, and used these wings to prevent the front of the car from continuing to fall.

At this moment, they were only a thin line away from the lava pool.

Cosimo relied on the golden emotional characters before falling from the air - his expression seemed a little hesitant, as if he was planning to use some skill, but he didn't take action.

At this moment, Deckard and Cosimo could no longer hold on.

"Bang!"

The roller coaster rumbles and falls.

Deckard Keel dragged Cosimo's heavy body, vibrating his eagle wings and shot up into the sky, thus escaping the bad luck of falling into the lava pool together with the roller coaster.

"Let me go, what is that guy named Gu Qiu doing, just playing with his phone all the time?" An Senlu was shocked.

Qi Yuanliu said calmly: "I guess he, like me, has sequence skills that are not suitable for this situation."

"Explaining to others and excusing yourself at the same time, right? You are indeed a scheming bitch." Ansonlu narrowed his eyes.

At the moment when the carriage was about to be engulfed by lava, Gu Qiu also used the sequence skill of the 'Matrix'. His body turned into a large stream of data and flew towards the sky.

As for Kamishiro Ruri who was staying at the back of the car, she swung her sword upwards.

"Wow——"

Countless cherry petals sprinkled upward into the sky, and her body flashed to the ends of these petals.

It seems that this skill is similar to Urushihara Ritsu's 'Phantom Crow', both of which use some kind of object to move - except that he uses crows, while Kamishiro Ruri uses cherry blossoms.

The second the roller coaster fell into the lava, the game announced that Anson Deer's side had won.

If it had been two seconds later, maybe the ending of the game would have been rewritten.

Everything seems to be blamed on the hesitant Lorenzo.

He seemed to want to use some skill midway, but did not take action, watching the challenge fail.

Anson put his hand on his chin, "I watched the video and it seems that Lorenzo didn't use any skills related to 'negative emotions'."

"Indeed, there is a reason for this."

"Why?"

"Because it will make him lose himself."

"Crow, have you ever been in contact with him?" Anson Deer asked calmly.

Qi Yuanlu refused to comment, "As you said, I did come into contact with him once."

Anson Deer then said: "Let me guess, it is the time between the first copy and the second copy."

"That's right, it was that time."

"Uh, so during that time, you not only investigated the matter of the Icelandic girl." Ansonlu said thoughtfully.

The Icelandic girl turned her cheek and glanced at Anson Deer expressionlessly.

"There's nothing wrong with you." Ansonlu glanced at her.

Yuri turned his head nonchalantly, his snow-white hair swaying slightly.

Qi Yuanliu remained silent and waited for Ansonlu's question.

"So, at that time you also stopped by to meet the 'Pope of Crazy Bells'."

Ansonlu paused and then said: "There is a high probability that you met him here to judge who is the person you want to follow, me or Lorenzo."

"I can't deny it, Mr. Lu." Qi Yuanlu said with his hands behind his back, "You are both unique. I see a similar trait in you and him."

"You really admitted it." Ansonlu took a deep breath and said persistently:

"Crow, are you the mole sent by the law enforcement team?! Otherwise, how could you only have a 5% contribution in the last game!"

Qi Yuanlu shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"That's not necessary, Mr. Lu, although he is indeed similar to you in some aspects, but in terms of talent and potential alone, he is far behind you."

"oh?"

Ansonlu questioned, "What's the difference? I need you to write a 5,000-word explanation."

"You are now number one in the world, which proves my focus." Qi Yuanlu laughed.

"It's almost done." Ansonlu said with a headache as he held his forehead:

"By the way, Brother Lorenzo doesn't have a good impression of you. You negotiated with him, and the second time he saw you, he wanted to put you back in prison in Tokyo."

He still remembered what Lorenzo said: Ritsu Urushihara should be imprisoned in a Tokyo prison instead of being at large. This shows that this handsome Italian boy really has a strong opinion on Crow.

Qi Yuanlu said calmly: "Yes, I humiliated him."

"I'll go and humiliate him?"

"That's right."

"How humiliated?"

"It probably means that he is too hypocritical." Urushihara put his hand on his chin, "I have almost forgotten it, but in terms of the level of hypocrisy, Lu-kun, you are more than him, but not worse."

Ansenlu rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you go to the law enforcement team again to cause hatred, then I will kick you out of the union!"

"Of course it won't happen, Mr. Lu."

Ritsu Urushihara said with great interest: "Did you notice that in the game just now, Lorenzo seemed to be planning to take action in the end, but he did not release any skills."

"That's the skill related to 'negative emotions', right?" Anson Deer asked.

"Well, this is the difference between you and him. He lets himself be trapped in the hypocritical appearance," Qi Yuanliu said slowly:

"But your hypocrisy is to better serve your purpose and can be discarded at any time."

"Crow, if you want to call me shameless, just say it. There is no need to be so subtle."

"I said, why don't you guys take a rest? There will be a third game after that!" Asuka Uesugi complained, "If you don't sleep, we still have to sleep!"

"Agreed." Yuri said, "Let's take a rest."

Today is also a very good day.
