Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 140 "The giant shadow waiting in the corner of the sky."

January 19, morning, a hotel in Tokyo.

After Ansonlu brushed his teeth and washed his face, he opened the curtains and sat on the bed.

"Very good. After today's boss battle, I will go home and have a good sleep."

He glanced at the three message bubbles in the upper right corner of his vision, which were messages from Cosimo, Yuliu and Kamishiro Ruri - they all summarized their sequence skills into text and sent them.

"I'll go..." Anson Lu looked at Yuliu's sequence skills and said in surprise: "This kid Yuliu still has so many skills hidden, he really has them."

It took a while for Ansonlu to remember Yuliu's skills in his mind.

Then, he opened Kamishiro Ruri's chat panel and looked at her sequence skills.

Kamdai Ruri doesn't have many sequence skills. Compared to other top sequences, her skills are the one with the fewest number.

You must know that the sequence with medium combat power can be compared to Teacher Chu's "Sword of Dark Dome", but even the sequence of Sword of Dark Dome has at least 6 sequence skills when promoted to the second level.

Kamdai Ruri's "Peerless Sakura Sword" only has 3 skills - "Sakura Death" (use petals to transfer positions), "Returning Sakura Sword" (concentrate petals on the sword and launch a powerful slash forward)

), "Thousands of Cherry Blossoms" (turn the sword into thousands of petals, scatter them forward, and then perform a large-scale slash within the reach of the petals).

Ansonlu couldn't help but complain: "What a sequence. That hacker boy's 'Matrix' has four sequence skills at the first level, right?"

As if he had already noticed that Ansenlu would complain like this, Jindai Ruri added a message at the end - "Hmph, it's not about having too many sequence skills, but about using them carefully."

Anson Deer stared at this line of text and said contemptuously:

"Haha, you use it well... There are only three skills. Of course you use them well. If you don't use them well, why are you playing the game?"

But that's true. When it comes to one-on-one combat, Kamdai Ruri's sequence is quite abnormal: it has strong maneuverability and high instantaneous explosive power. Even with only 3 sequence skills, there is no problem in killing many sequence players in an instant.

But if it is a boss battle, the role of Jindai Ruri is not so obvious - Ansen Lu can hardly imagine that half a year later this green tea girl will be able to kill a white dragon with a tachi, and it will be considered a success if the white dragon does not trample to death.

Finally, Anson Deer clicked on the sequence skill sent by Cosimo with a dispensable mentality.

If it is possible for Jindai Ruri to conceal sequence skills, then Ansenlu believes that at least Cosimo would never be able to conceal sequence skills.

After all, this little kid's character is there, and he will do his best to win this boss battle and ensure that no more players die.

You know, every time a monster spawns in a dungeon, he is the one at the front, standing in front of all the regular players.

"There's something about this Cyber ​​Assault sequence." Anson put his hand on his chin, "Use evolution coins to exchange for technology points, and use the technology points on heavy prosthetics and light prosthetics to derive different sequence skills.

"

From a development perspective, as long as the technology points are firmly integrated into the panel of the heavy-duty prosthetic body, if it can survive until the later stages of the game, maybe Cosimo can really drive a Gundam.

It didn't take long for Anson Deer to basically finish Cosimo's sequence skills.

"Fortunately, I don't have as many skills as Yuliu." Ansenlu turned off the panel, "Please, the sequence of Devouring Hand is too abnormal. By devouring a new kind of monster, you can get new skills, and you can also copy them.

Other sequences of skills!”

Supermodel!

Supermodel over the top!

Yuliu's "Devouring Hand" sequence can only be described as "endless potential".

If you only choose cooperative challenge dungeons along the way, you can acquire different sequence skills by devouring different monsters.

Maybe by the later stages of the game, Yuliu will already be a master with hundreds of sequence skills, and by then one person will be able to take on the output positions of a thousand job-changing mages.

Despite this, in the face of the two comprehensive sequences of "Block Pope" and "Old Chess Player", which have become unspeakably abnormal in the early and mid-term and can be called the "ultimate development type", "Devouring Hand" is still

Slightly inferior.

However, Ansonlu believes that Yuliu is still expected to be evenly matched with Lorenzo.

After all, who knows if Yuliu will suddenly be lucky enough to gain a perverted skill by devouring the dungeon boss, and slap Lorenzo to death in the "I hate the world" state.

Anson Deer is different, he is quite a beta player - the principal specially brought him three "non-existent chess pieces" from the future, which are the three chess pieces from the Salvation Team chess set.

Currently, Ansonlu only has the "Future Blue Bird" chess piece in the Salvation Team chess group, but this chess piece has also brought him a sufficiently abnormal improvement.

If it turns out that in the evolution game, he is a level T0 player who is indistinguishable from Lorenzo.

Well, after acquiring the "Future Blue Bird" chess piece, Anson Deer has completely distanced himself from Lorenzo, let alone imagine... what kind of qualities do the other two salvation chess pieces brought back by the principal have?

potential.

"Anyway, after finishing today's boss battle, you can go home and rest..."

Ansenlu got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom, "Speaking of which, since the principal is gone, will the law enforcement team take advantage of him? No... Lorenzo can still be trusted. There will be no problem for the time being."

Speaking of which... did the uncle named Yu Mingdao survive yesterday's battle?

When Ansenlu thought of this, he was suddenly stunned and opened his friend list.

[Friend—Yu Mingdao; Status—A cooperative challenge dungeon is in progress;]

At dusk that day, downtown Tokyo and Ginza.

The setting sun slowly drops below the horizon, taking away the light that shines on Tokyo.

In the center of the prosperous downtown Ginza, there stands a huge light pillar covering an extremely large area. The nearby skyscrapers, electronic signs, vehicles, and neon lights are completely swallowed up by the light pillar.

Anson Deer was wearing a black hoodie as always. He stopped at the periphery of the light beam, exhaled a white breath, turned to look at the players behind him: "Are you ready?"

After yesterday's battle with the giant squid, more than fifty ordinary players died, so now all the remaining players in the dungeon add up to more than eighty people, but the team behind them only has more than seventy people.

The reason there are only seventy people is because among the surviving players there are some who are timid due to PTSD symptoms - they simply stay in the city and hang up and do not participate in the final boss battle.

Fortunately, most of the dead players were warriors.

The backline output profession that is most needed in boss battles, most people still survive.

As everyone behind him nodded in response, Anson Deer took the lead and moved forward into the beam of light. His figure was immediately swallowed up and disappeared, and everyone took a breath of cold air.

No one knows what will happen after stepping into this beam of light, but they have no choice.

Yu Mingdao was the first among the regular players to take the step. He had a reason to be cowardly. If he died in the boss battle, he would not be able to go back and see the child who was still in the orphanage.

But if even he, the representative of ordinary players' combat power, stops here cowardly, it will inevitably cause most players to make the same choice, which may ultimately directly lead to the failure of this boss battle.

Then, this capital-level city will fall and thousands of lives will be lost.

Although he knew that this city and even this country had nothing to do with him, Yu Mingdao had a conscience as a human being.

What's more, he still owed Anson Lu something, and that meager travel voucher gave him hope to continue fighting.

I have reasons for being ordinary and cowardly, but I also have reasons for taking this step... Yu Mingdao thought to himself.

He hissed deeply and walked towards the beam of light without saying a word. Immediately, his figure was swallowed up silently and disappeared into the downtown area of ​​Ginza.

After about two or three seconds, the people behind him also moved.

Messy and dense footsteps sounded on the winter streets.

They knew deep in their hearts that the beam of light in front of them would most likely lead to the underworld, or lead them to hell.

After all, most of them had watched their compatriots being smashed into bloody foam by the sucker of the squid yesterday.

Judging from the difficulty of the boss battle alone, the giant squid entrenched in Tokyo Bay may be just an appetizer. The monster above the Sky City is the biggest difficulty of this dungeon.

But they did not stop moving forward, they just approached the light pillar step by step, like devout believers trying to retain the light of dusk, and finally stepped into it without hesitation.

"Sure enough..." Cosimo said in surprise: "There are not many cowards who can survive to the fourth round of dungeons."

Kamishiro Ruri waved her fan and said jokingly: "If they stand behind the world's number one and don't dare to take these few steps, then they won't be able to play any role in the future."

"No, compared to being the best in the world." Yuliu said lightly: "An ordinary figure who dares to step into it without hesitation is the thing that can inspire their courage the most."

"Are you referring to the guy named Yu Mingdao?" Jindai Liuli said thoughtfully, "Well, I have observed him for a while, and his performance is indeed far different from other ordinary players... At any rate, he is a qualified leader.

.”

"Let's go, be careful. There is a time limit. We won't be able to enter the boss battle venue by then!" Cosimo urged.

At the same time, he stretched out his right foot, like a little kid testing the temperature of the bath water, and tapped the ground inside the light column with his tiptoe.

"Fuck!"

With an exclamation, the figure of the cyber brat disappeared from the spot.

Both Kamdai Ruri and Yuriu sighed lightly. Whether they were insiders or outsiders, their worries were very much the same: Will this guy lose his temper at a critical moment in the boss battle?

"Speaking of which, only people aged 17 and above are allowed to become players, right?" Yuliu asked suddenly.

He hadn't paid much attention to this problem before. He heard that there were only two child players in the world, namely Cosimo and China's soul-burning gun Mo Xiaoyuan.

"No, Brother Blackhand." Jindai Ruri said quietly: "Some children who are qualified to undergo the 'sequence test' can also become players as long as they pass the test, and they are definitely sequence players."

"In other words, if there are children under 17 years old among the players, they can only be serial players." Yuliu understood.

After the conversation ended, the two stepped into the beam of light, and no one was seen again in the downtown area of ​​Ginza.

The sun sets completely below the horizon.

The sky suddenly turned gray, rainstorms fell, rumbles of thunder resounded throughout the world, and thunder flashed like brilliant dragon shadows shuttled between the clouds, flickering and appearing under the cover of clouds and mist.

After Anson Deer stepped into the light pillar, his body was enveloped by a surge of warmth. He was forced to close his eyes by the water pressure, and his limbs were unable to move in the golden liquid.

He was like a vegetative person, being slowly carried upwards by this heat current, as if he was swimming, and as if one small person after another made of light was taking turns to carry his body.

Finally, when he opened his eyes again, the world had changed drastically. The heavy rain fell like a roaring whale, drenching his whole body.

"Damn, it's so cold!"

Anson Deer tightened his body, hugged his shoulders, and shuddered. This experience was no less than a pleasant winter swim in the Arctic, "Extradimensional kangaroo, come out so fast!"

The extradimensional kangaroo appeared in response, and the Anson deer lifted its light body like a dumbbell.

The rain fell on the kangaroo.

"Gaba?"

Mr. Kangaroo made a puzzled cry while soaking Anson's deer in the rain.

This is...that island in the sky?

Anson Deer gradually saw everything around him clearly. Looking around, he could see withered flowers and plants, broken hot springs, bones of birds and animals, and the smell of decaying tobacco filled the air.

Looking up, the sky is very close, but extremely gloomy, as if it is repelling guests from the other side of the earth with thunder and heavy rain.

In front of him, there was a garden. Under the roar of heavy rain, thunder and light, the desolate and terrifying atmosphere became even more difficult to hide.

Looking further away, a magnificent palace stands in the center of the garden. This palace looks like it is made of bronze, with patterns like Greek gods carved on the walls. The dark tones show its grandeur and majesty.

The curtain of rain violently washed away this ancient palace.

"Bang!!!"

The next moment, the palace suddenly collapsed, the patterns of the gods shattered like mirrors, and the entire island in the sky trembled violently, like a giant beast with wings on its back violently awakening.

The rumbling dust and the violent rain intertwined, destroying the ruins of the palace in an instant.

After the thick rain and fog dissipated, a terrifying giant shadow with a height of more than ten meters appeared. As expected, what stood in front of Anson Deer was the final boss of this cooperative copy.

"roar!!!"

A roar from ancient times came out, and the rain and fog within a hundred meters radius were completely shaken away, and even the flashing thunder dragon in the sky stopped.

The giant shadow slowly revealed its true form.

[Warning: This boss battle has officially begun!]

[All players participating in the battle cannot leave the sky island by any means before the boss battle ends!!!]

Ansen Lu stared at the giant shadow in front of him and took a deep breath, "I don't even plan to leave. Let's fight quickly."
