Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 132 "Abandoning the shield and picking up the sword, it roars like a lion, and the ambition of an innocent child soars into the clouds and breaks the sun."

"The Christmas sleigh, come back."

Anson Deer looked at the sky and gave the order.

Two reindeer strode in the air, dragging a red sleigh and galloping over. However, after a while, they stopped on the ground on the rooftop of the high-rise building, waiting for the Anson deer to board the sleigh.

"It takes half an hour for the Bone Hedgehog to die before it can be used, and the same goes for the Ash Shadow." Anson Deer sat on the sled and said, "Although it is convenient to use, it is a disposable chess piece at best."

As a result, I still haven’t found a main chess type that can replace the floating fish in the tank...

The 13 seconds it takes to take shape are too ink-stained for me...

At this time, the reward settlement sound sounded continuously in his ears.

[In this battle, you killed a total of 212 monsters.]

[The rewards for killing the monster "Giant Frog Cavalry" and the monster "Gryphon Cavalry" are the same, so you have received a total of 63,600 experience points and 31,800 evolution coins. 】

[Your level has been raised to Lv18.]

【Your level has been raised to Lv19.】

[Your current level: Lv19 (8100/34,000 experience points)]

[Your current balance: 55,300 evolution coins]

"In cooperative dungeons, as long as you pile up all the monster resources in your own hands, it is really fast to level up..." Ansenlu said, "You can save money first, and when the time comes, you can upgrade to the third level of old chess players, and then stay

Get a high-end chess bag."

The Christmas sleigh carries the Anson deer and gallops through the winter sky.

The floating island is faintly turbulent. It seems that because the number of monsters killed is about to reach the demand, the boss above the floating city is about to wake up, and the giant squid in the sea is getting closer and closer to the Rainbow Bridge...

Yu Mingdao is 39 years old this year.

Before the evolution game started, he was a university professor, but he had no sense of belonging to this career. In his own words, he was just a product of the social system.

In the first half of my life, I studied hard and worked hard for my parents’ expectations;

In the middle life, I was running around to get a stable job, and after getting a stable job, I worked hard for the RV;

After buying the RV, they were pushed by their parents to get married, and after getting married, they were pushed by their parents to have children;

Finally, the wife became pregnant.

Everyone was congratulating him, but he just adjusted his glasses blankly and smiled at his wife.

After the birth of his children, Yu Mingdao shifted the focus of his life from his parents to his children, began to seek a stable future for his children, and planned to give them the best education.

However, he never turned the center of his life to himself, even for a second.

Yu Mingdao didn't seem to realize until he was 39 years old that he had been living to cater to the needs of his family and win the recognition of society.

It's like...a cow.

He seems to have succeeded, and everyone around him is envious of him - he has a stable and well-paying job, a respectable social status, a happy family, a beautiful wife and lovely children.

Everything, everything.

But it seems that he has never really lived, because he never knows what he wants - adults have taught him since he was a child to give up his dreams, study hard, and find a job that makes money. After working, he was told to

Hurry up and find a suitable place to smoke.

Others are constantly putting pressure on him, but he is like a cow, moving forward without any self-awareness.

Study, work, buy a car or a house, get married, have children...

Two-thirds of a lifetime has passed like this.

Is the meaning of the child's existence to take over his mechanical life? In the next few decades, this child will repeat the same process and grow old meaninglessly?

Yu Mingdao couldn't find the answer.

"You will find your dreams in the future, find what you really like to do, and try to make a living from it." He whispered in a tired voice to the newborn child:

"And I will fully support you. As your father, this is all I can do for you."

The baby smiled at him.

Yu Mingdao also had a complicated smile on his face.

No matter what, he is only 39 years old, and everything has just begun. He can slowly find the meaning of life and find the ideals that he once abandoned.

But the game of evolution begins.

In the year when his child was just born.

His wife died in the first round of dungeons, and the child was left unattended and sent to an orphanage.

After returning from the Hokkaido dungeon, Yu Mingdao, who was on a business trip, failed to obtain a travel voucher and could not leave this strange city and could not return to his home.

He could only try to contact familiar people and ask them to go to the orphanage to help look after his children.

"How can I get the travel voucher?"

Yu Mingdao eagerly searched for such information on the Internet, and thousands of results popped up, but most people said that such rare items are in the hands of serial players, and ordinary players should not even think about them.

Yes, travel vouchers are very rare.

Sometimes in a round of dungeons, only one travel coupon will be generated, and that travel coupon belongs to the dungeon MVP.

Outside of dungeons, almost all travel vouchers are monopolized by state officials, and travel vouchers in the hands of civilian players are recycled in accordance with the law for use by law enforcement teams and core players of the national team.

This is natural, because there are so many fallen cities in the world, and sequence players need to use travel coupons to go to those cities during the holidays and annihilate colonial monsters.

In addition, Yu Mingdao also applied for a "travel voucher" from the official office.

But he was met with a cold rejection.

The official provided many photos and said that his children were well protected in the orphanage. Travel vouchers are precious resources and must not be wasted on such trivial matters.

Yu Mingdao was furious, but unable to resist.

In the later period, he tried to apply to join the law enforcement team and the Chinese national team, but was rejected without exception. The reason for the rejection was simple: he was an ordinary player, not a serial player.

He hated why he was not a serial player, why he was born mediocre, and why he couldn't look down on all living beings with a cold face like the boy he saw in Hokkaido.

However, he had clearly accepted his mediocrity and incompetence long ago and gave up struggling long ago.

He is now...

I just want to see my family.

That child is his only family...

The holiday time between the first round of dungeons and the second round of dungeons is tough.

In order to get a travel coupon, Yu Mingdao made full preparations and secretly vowed in his heart that he would surpass all players in the second round of dungeons, achieve MVP-level performance, and get the travel coupon rewarded by the system.

However, after entering the second round of dungeons, and even entering the third round of dungeons, he was still powerless.

Yu Mingdao tried his best, risked his life, and did his best like a mad dog, but he still could only watch those so-called "sequential players" win the MVP with an unstoppable attitude.

They are so relaxed and so powerful.

It's like...the world is their plaything, their playground, and ordinary players are the audience of these talented people, and they only deserve to be the audience.

In such an era, the most humble and powerless thing is to be an ordinary person.

Yu Mingdao realized this deeply.

The saddest thing is that everything he worked hard in the past was ruined in this ridiculous game.

But now, he just wants to leave this unfamiliar city and go back to see his children.

Even this cannot be done.

Until the end, Yu Mingdao put down all his pride and reserve. During the holiday after the third round of dungeons, he opened Anson Lu's friend panel with all his heart.

This is the only serial player he knows.

In the second and third rounds of dungeons, Yu Mingdao encountered five sequences: "Pope of Mad Bells", "Eagle of Transcendence", "Feast of the Crazy Snake", "Circus of Embers", and "Spear of Soul Burning" respectively.

player.

The first four are members of the law enforcement team, and the last one is directly affiliated with the Chinese national team.

Among them, only Lorenzo, the "Pope of Mad Bells", was willing to listen to Yu Mingdao's request, but when Lorenzo was about to say something, he was stopped by Cardusa, the "Feast of the Mad Snake" beside him.

.

"Lorenzo, this is against the official rules. Travel vouchers are rare items and must be distributed by the official. You are the captain of the law enforcement team and must set an example. If this kind of thing is spread..." Kadusha whispered

explain.

Lorenzo hesitated for two seconds, gave Yu Mingdao a meaningful look, reached out and patted his shoulder, and walked away silently.

Apart from this, none of the other sequence players had bothered with Yu Mingdao.

Whether it was people from the law enforcement team or the national team, after they learned that Yu Mingdao was just an ordinary professional player, they all found an excuse and politely rejected his friend application.

How dare he ask for a travel voucher when he couldn't even apply for a friend.

After these previous experiences, Yu Mingdao actually had no hope, but this was his last chance to see his child before entering the fourth round of dungeons.

He must try, even if he loses face and continues to be stepped on the ground and humiliated.

Yu Mingdao was silent for a long time, and in a slightly hoarse voice, he sent a voice message to Ansenlu:

"Ansen Lu, I...I want to borrow a travel voucher from you. I want to go back and see my children."

"I know I'm an ordinary player and can't repay you with anything. After all, you are the number one in the world and you don't need anything. But for the sake of us being fellow villagers... can you just do me a favor this time? I'm begging you.

?”

A long period of dead silence.

There was no response there.

Anson Deer is a busy man, ranked first in the world, a famous chess player of the past, carrying the hope of all mankind, and has unparalleled popularity in the world.

Those sequence players ranked at the bottom of the hundred were unwilling to pay attention to him, so how could Anson Deer pay attention to him?

Basically, sequence players only play with sequence players. Even if they get together with ordinary players, it is just to enjoy the pleasure of standing out from the crowd, that's all...

Yu Mingdao clearly knew these facts, but when he thought of the child waiting for him in the orphanage, he would still stare blankly at the blank chat panel, waiting for the boy's reply.

This is his only hope.

About half a day later, a voice message came.

"Okay, uncle, I remember you, we are fellow villagers, why are you so polite?" Ansenlu said: "Wait a minute, how do players do remote transactions? I haven't used this function yet... I'll study it first.

Take a moment."

Yu Mingdao listened to Ansenlu's voice message and was stunned for a long time without reacting.

[The player ‘Anson Deer’ initiates a transaction application to you. The transaction item given by the other party is: “a travel coupon”; the transaction item requested by the other party is: None. 】

Yu Mingdao stretched out his fingers tremblingly. He did not expect that the thing he had dreamed of for a month could be obtained so easily.

【You have accepted the transaction application and received a travel voucher.】

"Next time, just tell me about such a trivial matter. Remember that stinky gambler named 'Urushihara Ritsu'. He used some means to plunder a bunch of travel vouchers. It's such a torture. This guy was banned by the Japanese official

It would be too easy for me to drag him to death."

When Ansenlu said this, a contemptuous female voice suddenly came from the other side of his voice.

"Are you an idiot for telling others like this?!"

Ansenlu replied contemptuously: "Please, Asuka-san, is this someone else? Don't be embarrassed, this is my fellow villager, and we are very simple people in Shangshi!"

"Ha, Honsoo? You mean Xiong Haodong?"

"Brother Dong is a rare species in Shangshi. You can't generalize. Not everyone is as sinister as Brother Dong!" An Senlu, while bickering with the female voice, took time out and whispered to Yu Mingdao:

"It's a bit of a family matter. I'll hang up first. Uncle, please don't report us to the authorities for illegally collecting travel vouchers. But it's useless to report. Bye."

After Ansenlu's voice fell, there was only a long dead silence in Yu Mingdao's ears.

What is extremely precious to him may be just something that can be given to others casually to this young man... Yu Mingdao was a little emotional, but he was more grateful in his heart.

He opened the luggage compartment and stared blankly at the travel voucher. After being lost in thought for a long time, his eyes suddenly became wet and red.

He can go home...

You can go see your children...

"Thank you." Yu Mingdao typed, "I will not forget today. I said I borrowed it, not asked you for it. If I can get a travel voucher in the future, I will definitely return it to you."

No more responses came from the friends panel.

On the afternoon of January 17, Japan, Tokyo, Ueno Park.

This is the most famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo, and it is also a place mentioned in Mr. Lu Xun’s work "Mr. Fujino". It is winter, and the brilliant cherry blossoms like crimson light clouds that Mr. Lu Xun said are not visible in the park, but

It also has a different flavor.

The snow fell lightly in winter, and the ground in the park was almost frozen. But just above the bone-chilling cold ground, there were several plain white cherry trees blooming. They stood lonely in the ice and snow, with their branches covered with snow.

Swaggering gently, scattering light-colored petals.

Yu Mingdao was wearing a robe, holding a rune book in his left hand and a staff in his right hand, standing in the center of the park with a serious expression.

Now, he has changed his profession to "Elemental Mage". He is the most outstanding existence among the ordinary players in this dungeon, so he should naturally serve as the main core of the team.

"Here they come! Murlocs riding giant frogs, and cavalry riding griffons!" someone shouted.

Yu Mingdao took a deep breath and spoke very quickly:

"I saw it, prepare to attack, just follow the tactics we have rehearsed before, the Paladin protects the players in the back row, the Berserker and the Magic Swordsman rush to the front, Shadow Wing and Black Hand watch the situation and harvest the battlefield!"

His command fell, and the warrior players protected Yu Mingdao behind them. The three players who were transferred to "Berserker" wore heavy armor, held giant swords, and rushed forward with a layer of blood-colored light.

Players who have converted from priests to "paladins" will protect Yu Mingdao behind them - the skills of the paladin can provide a powerful shield to the players in the back row to protect their safety.

"What is that?" Yu Mingdao frowned. When he saw the giant frogs ridden by the murlocs, they suddenly stopped and opened their mouths towards the group of players gathered in the park.

He realized something was wrong and yelled quickly: "Be careful, those giant frogs spit out saliva, it seems to be an Aoe skill!"

"Wow--"

The next second, more than 30 giant frogs spit out mucus in unison. The highly corrosive mucus was like an enhanced version of acid rain, falling down overwhelmingly.

"Paladin, release the group barrier quickly!" Yu Mingdao commanded.

The two Paladin players beside them raised the scepter in their left hand and the hammer in their right hand, and released the professional skill - [Light of the Holy Hammer] without any delay.

"call--!!!"

In an instant, a dazzling golden glow spread out from the hammer body, forming a circular barrier that enveloped all players within a five-meter radius with him as the center.

"No, I can't seem to stop it..." Yu Mingdao narrowed his eyes and made a judgment in his heart.

Under the offensive of poisonous mucus, the sacred barrier shattered in just two seconds. Yu Mingdao raised his staff without hesitation and released the elemental mage's professional skill - [Water Falls].

The violent water suddenly appeared, forming a raging waterfall in the air. The waterfall created by the elemental mage took over the position of the light of the holy hammer, protecting all back-row players from the slime of the giant frog.

After three seconds, the slime offensive finally stopped.

Not a single cherry blossom tree was still standing upright. The dark purple mucus greedily devoured every petal and corroded the tree body.

"Fortunately, we managed to hold on..." Yu Mingdao breathed a sigh of relief and looked around with a solemn expression.

At this moment, except for the backline professions protected by the Paladin, the warriors rushing forward and the assassins hovering outside were all rained down by the poisonous mucus on their bodies.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of this venom, even if the warrior players raised their shields to resist, their bodies would inevitably be hit by the venom - the terrifying liquid eroded every inch of their skin, and in the blink of an eye, some people's arms were broken to the bone!

Not to mention assassin players.

Their defense and health were already weaker than those of the warriors. Under this blast of seamless mucus, the assassins collapsed directly on the ground, their muscles all over the body spasming violently.

Blood and venom were mixed together, flowing out from the wounds in their bodies.

“Uhhhhhhh——!!!”

The tragic wail resounded throughout Ueno Park.

"Damn it!"

Yu Mingdao's pupils shrank and he gritted his teeth.

He never thought that the monsters spawned on the third day of this dungeon would become so much stronger - the frogs ridden by the murlocs spit out mucus as soon as they met, creating a range bombing that almost covered half of the park!

At this time, the fishman cavalry stepped over the corpses of those warriors and assassins, as well as the gryphon cavalry coming from the sky.

They formed an encirclement and suppression offensive and rushed towards the remaining players in the center of the park together!

The monster was so dark that it looked like a dark ocean sweeping over it.

Soon after, as the tide of killing recedes, Ueno Park will be completely wiped out, and no player will be able to survive, including Yu Mingdao himself.

"It's over..."

The two paladins in front trembled and backed away, shouting hoarsely: "Captain, our front row can't hold on any longer!"

"Don't panic. If you panic, it will really be the end of you!"

Although Yu Mingdao felt desperate, he still commanded in the voice channel: "Paladin, night hunter, magician, gunner, use your skills on the gryphon cavalry in the sky and try to stop them..."

At this moment, his voice stopped suddenly.

Suddenly, countless thin lines divided the land of Ueno Park into chess grids, and the tide poured out from the chess grids, gently lapping at everyone's feet.

The surrounding players were stunned and looked around tremblingly. No one could figure out the current situation.

At this moment, the warrior players who still had their breath left, without exception, chose to abandon their shields, pick up the swords or axes in their hands, and rush forward with blood all over their bodies, roaring like lions.

They were hysterical and unstoppable. They abandoned their shields and picked up their swords and roared like lions, their innocent ambitions soaring into the clouds and breaking the sun.

“Bang——!!!”

But at this moment, a huge lighthouse fell from the sky with violent force, hitting heavily in the middle of the soldiers and the monster army, blocking the battlefield between the two sides.

This beacon seems to be blocking these soldiers from moving forward.

Yu Mingdao's heart trembled. He stared at the lighthouse in shock, "Could this be..."

"Fellow, tell those soldiers to move back." A familiar voice came,

Yu Mingdao moved his head sluggishly and looked at where the sound came from.

Ansen Lu came to Yu Mingdao's side at some unknown time. He patted Yu Mingdao's shoulder casually and passed by Yu Mingdao gently. He raised his light brown eyes and stared at the monsters in front of him.

Army.

Yu Mingdao swallowed a sip of water and wanted to speak, but couldn't. His throat was dry and hoarse, as if it was blocked by something.

He stared at the back of Anson Deer, remained silent for a long time, smiled hoarsely and said:

"haven't seen you for a long time."
