Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 145 “Has no one ever sued former chess players for abusing animals?”

January 20, Shangshi City, China.

Anson Deer opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.

This time, he returned not to the teachers' dormitory of Shangshi High School, but to his small apartment with poor lighting.

He opened the curtains and saw falling snow and birds flying across the winter sky. It was still the familiar small county town. Even Shangshi High School, which occupies a small area, stood out among the flat buildings, like a giant.

Tower.

"Should we sleep first, or should we go to Shangshan High School and talk to them?"

Anson Lu withdrew his gaze and looked at the information bubble in the upper right corner of his sight. The appearance of the bubble was eye-catching crimson. It was undoubtedly from Asuka, and there were more than one. It was simply bombarding.

"Then let's go over there first and rest."

He got out of bed and just opened the door with the key when he heard a "pop!" and then a bunch of inexplicable red paper, blue paper, and green paper were sprinkled on his hair.

Anson raised his head in confusion and took a closer look.

A beautiful face came into view, the girl's nose turned red in the winter, and her clear and smart eyes. She exhaled a soft breath of hot breath and slapped Anson Deer's cheek.

Just now, Asuka Uesugi opened a small paper salute. She was still wearing the same outfit today, a crimson jacket with a light green skirt underneath, and the skirt was gently swaying in the cold winter wind.

Asuka had a proud smile on her face, as if she wanted to see Anson Deer frightened.

"ill?"

Anson deer patted the colored paper on his head.

Asuka Uesugi threw away the salute. She looked dissatisfied, raised her head slightly, and her neck was as long as a swan.

"Huh? You actually reacted like this, but I still want to celebrate your birthday!"

"Please, how long has it been since my birthday?"

"Of course it's a delayed celebration!" Asuka Uesugi put her hands on her hips and said without doubt, "How can you celebrate your birthday in a dungeon? You can't expect the system to celebrate your birthday!"

"That's true." Anson Lu lowered his head, glanced at the colored paper scattered on the ground, and said thoughtfully: "Oh, it looks so lame, you must have done it yourself?"

"You..."

Ansenlu interrupted Asuka who was about to have a fit, smiled and said lightly:

"Thank you, I'm very happy."

Asuka was stunned for a moment. She rarely saw Anson Deer smile like this. In the past, Anson Deer's smile always gave her a very fake feeling, like an expression simulated by AI.

"Oh, just be happy." She tilted her head and hugged her shoulders.

"Crow, Teacher Chu, and Yuri, are they all back?"

Asuka Uesugi said calmly: "Huh, they are all downstairs. I told them to come and stay, but they walked slower than the other, so I came up first."

"What if I fall asleep?"

"Then I'll kick him in."

"Speechless, you broke into a private house, right? This heroine, there is a reason why you were labeled as a high-risk person by the foundation!"

"How about I spray your apartment with fire?"

"I was wrong, Miss Uesugi."

"Get out of here, don't be so arrogant."

Ansonlu turned his head, and at this moment, three figures came from the stairs of the corridor.

"Lu Jun, happy birthday." Qi Yuanlu was wearing a black windbreaker with a gentle smile on his face.

"President, happy birthday." Chu Qimo, wearing a brown coat and smart trousers, nodded to Ansenlu.

Yuri was wearing Shangshi's blue and white school uniform, wrapped in a light blue scarf. What looked like a very tacky outfit on others, but on her, looked very well-fitting, fresh and refined.

She raised her clear eyes, exhaled a cold breath, stared at Anson Deer without saying a word, her eyes seemed to say - "I told you happy birthday before, and I was the one who said it first."

Ansenlu glanced at Yuri twice, lost his mind for a while, and used his hand to help brush away a strand of snow from her hair.

Then, he shrugged sheepishly:

"Thank you everyone, although today is not my birthday."

Chu Qimo raised his eyebrows slightly, but hesitated: "So it's not today, isn't it? Asuka said today is your birthday, so..."

"Miss Asuka may mean..." Urushihara Ritsu said: "We can regard today as Lu-kun's birthday to make up for the lack of being able to stay with Lu-kun on his birthday."

Ansonlu coughed twice and said seriously: "Delayed justice means nothing. I will not accept your birthday wishes, especially from a person named Uesugi."

"Ha, remember his face." Asuka Uesugi tilted her head and said angrily: "Will you celebrate the birthday of such a person next time?"

"Okay, then I will treat today as my birthday." Ansenlu glanced at her and said lightly: "January 20th is Ansenlu's new birthday. Are you satisfied?"

"That's right."

Ansonlu put his hands into his pockets helplessly, "So, have you had breakfast?"

"Isn't this waiting for you?" Asuka said.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, we all came from the school on an empty stomach."

"What do you want to eat?" Yuri wrapped his scarf and asked.

Ansonlu said nonchalantly: "Well, there's nothing I want to eat. In fact, I just had a tempura rice bowl in Tokyo."

"The tempura in Tokyo is pretty good," Urushihara said.

Asuka Uesugi raised her eyebrows and asked:

"You won't take us for breakfast?"

"Can you please stop being so embarrassing? I knew you were going to do this. I was in the dungeon just now." Ansenlu sighed softly and stared at Asuka's face with disdain.

Chu Qimo suddenly raised his hand and said, "President, I have a suggestion."

"What proposal?" An Senlu was stunned, "Also, Teacher Chu, don't raise your hands next time when you speak, we are not in class."

Chu Qimo lowered his right hand and said calmly: "I can cook, how about eating at the president's house?"

Yuri was the first to nod, which was surprising.

Qi Yuanliu also spread his hands and expressed that he had no objection.

Only Asuka Uesugi hesitated for two seconds. She glanced at Ansonlu's noisy apartment and asked contemptuously: "Please, how long has it been since you cleaned up?"

"Why don't you ask how long it's been since I returned to Shangshi?" Ansonlu sighed.

Asuka said disgustedly: "Okay, then let's eat at his house and supervise some lazy guy to clean the room."

"Are you my mother?" Ansonlu narrowed his eyes and lengthened his voice.

"Yes, I am your mother."

"Asuka-san, your words, in our Chinese language, are a bit like swearing. Your quality needs to be improved."

"If there is any ambiguity, you will be blamed."

On a winter morning, the air is very fresh, and the cold morning breeze blows through the Shangshi sky, gently blowing on the cheeks of young girls.

Ansonlu and Asuka argued for a while before they stopped.

At this time, Yu Rui, Qi Yuan Lu and Chu Qimo had already taken off their shoes in the apartment. Yu Rui took the lead. She glanced at An Senlu, then at Asuka, and then walked in expressionlessly.

apartment.

"Please, can you respect the owner of the apartment a little bit? Is there any royal law?!"

In order to prevent the three of them from digging out some unspeakable secret documents from the room, Ansonlu could no longer care about Asuka, so he quickly took off his shoes and entered the door to protect his privacy.

"Idiot, this person..." Asuka glanced at Ansenlu's hurried back and chuckled.

She took off her shoes, walked into Anson's small apartment, and looked around the dark and narrow living room. It was almost empty, and the TV was covered with a layer of dust.

The apartment is empty and has no extraneous furnishings.

Approaching the kitchen, Chu Qimo and Qi Yuanlu opened the refrigerator. They seemed to be good cooks and were already thinking about what to cook. Unfortunately, everything in Ansonlu's refrigerator was expired.

"Uh, who is going to buy the ingredients?" Anson Deer asked as he sat cross-legged on the carpet.

Qi Yuanlu put his hand on Chu Qimo's shoulder, coughed and said, "Lu Jun, Chu Qimo and I are already preparing to cook. You can't let us go, right?"

Chu Qimo had already tied up with the kitchen staff. He was holding a notebook and pen, thinking seriously about the ingredients he needed, recording them one by one with a pen, and then tore out the page and handed it to Anson Lu.

"Teacher Chu and Crow have the important task of cooking, and our great President Lu has just saved Tokyo and came out of the dungeon." Anson Lu said this, looked at Yuri and Asuka, blinked and said:

"So, do you understand what I mean?"

"I'm not very familiar with supermarkets..." Yuri tilted his head and asked in an emotionless voice: "Will you go with me?"

Ansonlu held his chin and said casually: "It doesn't matter, once it's new, the second time it's familiar."

"Yeah, then I'll go alone." Yuri said.

Asuka Uesugi squinted her eyes the whole time, she couldn't stand it anymore:

"It's just me and this idiot, Yuri, you can rest here."

"Speaking of which, my mental attribute now exceeds 50 points." Ansenlu suddenly opened his personal panel and changed the subject: "The attribute added by the skill "Chess Soul" is spirit divided by 10 points, so I can add 5 points to the chess type.

Attribute!"

"Who cares about you!"

Asuka Uesugi simply dragged Anson Lu, who was crying for her father and mother, and the two left the apartment together.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut.

"What a shame." Yuri held up the cup and took a sip of hot water.

Urushihara Ritsu used the remote control to turn on the TV, and the news was playing on the TV - [Japanese official released a shocking video of the boss battle, the former chess player "Ansemika" turned the tide and saved Tokyo!].

Chu Qimo stared at the screen expressionlessly: "The president's copy looks very difficult."

"Well, this dungeon of Lu Junpai should be the most difficult dungeon in the world." Urushi Yuan Ritsu said thoughtfully, "Of course, this excludes those capitals that have fallen."

"I heard that Seoul in South Korea fell?" Chu Qimo looked at Crow.

"Yes, thousands of citizens are lost in a different space." After a pause, Qi Yuanlu added: "Moreover, the 'Transcendence Eagle' and 'Ashe Warrior' of the law enforcement team died in this dungeon."

"Really..." Chu Qimo was startled, and his expression quickly returned to calm: "Then the matter is serious. The people from the law enforcement team should have gone to Seoul to fight against those monsters?"

Seoul has fallen, and the monsters that have not been eliminated will survive in the world as colonists. If they are not eliminated in time, they may endanger other cities or even countries one day in the future.

"The law enforcement team is probably exhausted, but they won't act so quickly."

"Why?"

Qi Yuanlu said slowly: "The first reason is that the monsters this time are not so easy to eliminate; the second reason is that there is an important person who has not returned to the living world."

"Important person?"

"This important person has returned."

Chu Qimo was stunned for a moment before he realized: "You mean the president?"

"Yes, the situation this time is so serious. A capital-level city has fallen. To ensure that there are no casualties in regaining the city from the monsters, the law enforcement team has only one choice." Qi Yuanlu took a sip of water.

Yuri, who was watching, suddenly said: "They will ask us for help, but Anson Deer is not here, so they don't know how to negotiate with us."

"So that's it." Chu Qimo took a deep breath, "I reacted too slowly."

Qi Yuanlu put down the water glass, crossed his fingers and put it on his chin, sighed softly and asked:

"Speaking of which, do you think Mr. Lu will refuse the request of the law enforcement team?"

"No." Yuri said.

"Probably not, the president is a kind man." Chu Qimo also said.

"Well, that's true..." Qi Yuanlu raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly: "Then we have to work overtime."

An extremely shocking picture was still being broadcast on the TV. It was the picture of an old chess player ordering a floating shark to give the final blow to the statue of Wanqi. All the audience were clapping and applauding, and the barrage exploded in real time.

There is no doubt that officials from various countries are using the Anson Deer incident to try to cover up the fact that the South Korean capital has fallen. They will not let the people further fall into unstoppable panic.

The existence of old chess players has become the hope in the hearts of many people.

Yuri turned his eyes and looked at Anson Deer, who had a cold face on the screen.

She suddenly said: "That's right..."

"What's wrong, Miss Yuri?" Qi Yuanlu tilted her cheek and looked at him with deep eyes.

"Now, I have some new understanding of him."

"understand?"

"You said that the closer you get to him, the more you can recognize his cold side, so you will be hurt when you are pushed away by him."

"That's what I said, but 'injured' is not referring to you, Miss Yuri. After all, you lack emotion and will not feel this emotion." Ritsu Urushihara said lightly: "Well, I am talking about Miss Asuka.

.”

Chu Qimo had just recovered from the wonderful scenes broadcast on TV.

He turned his head and asked in confusion: "Are you discussing the president?"

The two did not respond.

There was no way to interrupt the topic between the two of them. In fact, Chu Qimo was not interested and simply continued watching TV.

Following the news about the old chess players, the news platform immediately broadcast the wonderful performance of the captain of the law enforcement team, "Lorenzo de' Medici" in a capital-level dungeon.

The location is Washington, USA.

Lorenzo's performance was also very shocking, and he could also be said to have turned the tide.

However, he is still much inferior to Anson Deer. The main reason is that Lorenzo still adheres to the principle of never using skills derived from "negative emotions" unless necessary.

Chu Qimo asked Qi Yuanlu the reason for this.

Urushihara Ritsu said yes - if Lorenzo uses skills related to "negative emotions" too much, he will be disturbed by these emotions to a certain extent, resulting in mental burden.

Over time, it's not surprising if your personality changes drastically.

Because of this, although the power of negative emotions is very powerful, Lorenzo still adheres to the principle and will never use these skills unless necessary, and the law enforcement team also conceals this matter from the outside world.

"Asuka..." Yuri put his hand on his chin.

"Well, Miss Asuka is different from you. Although she looks strong, she is an easily injured person." Urushihara Ritsu said slowly:

"And Mr. Lu is a two-faced person. In fact, he rarely shows tenderness to the people around him from the bottom of his heart. Unless there is a need, even then, most of it is just a disguise. This kind of character

Separation will cause him to inadvertently hurt those close to him."

Yuri said without emotion: "I have some different understandings of what you said."

"What kind of understanding?" Qi Yuanlu was very interested and seemed to be listening attentively.

"According to your statement, after getting close to him, I found that he began to act indifferent. In fact, it was not that he was pushing anyone away, and he never thought about hurting anyone." Yuri said:

"That's his true nature. Only when he trusts you enough will he show his cold side in front of you."

"It's also an interesting perspective."

"He...actually is just tired."

"very tired?"

"Well, he wasn't understood, so he hid himself." After a pause, Yuri said, "So, he is very tired, and sometimes he shows his true self to others. That is not indifference, nor is it pushing away.

Who, because he trusts you."

Urushihara looked at Yuri and said meaningfully: "You really know him well, Miss Yuri."

"I won't refute."

Chu Qimo watched another exciting replay of a Boss battle. He turned his head and tried to interject the two's questions again:

"So...you are talking about the president in such a long discussion?"

"No, we are discussing Yuriu." Qi Yuanliu said perfunctorily.

"Yeah." Yuri nodded.

Go to Stone City and head to the supermarket on the street.

At dawn, the entire Shangshi City was in a quiet winter atmosphere. Ansen Deer had never seen snow in Shangshi before, but it suddenly snowed today, which was a unique sight.

The shops on the roadside are already open, and the aunties on the street are carrying bags of vegetables, greeting each other with a smile, and saying nonsense like "Have you eaten yet?" and "Looking good today", and then go on.

Say goodbye with a loud voice.

There was an old man riding a bicycle, listening to the MP3 of the last century, and passed by Asuka and Anson Deer very leisurely. Anson Deer's first thought was - uncle, please take me away!

Although the end of the world is coming soon, everyone still has to live. It is impossible for everyone to huddle in their rooms and shut themselves up. Human beings are highly adaptable creatures.

For these citizens, since the things that determine their fate cannot be held in their own hands, they have no choice but to be prepared and resign themselves to fate. During the holidays, they will work as they should and eat and drink as they should.

When the dungeon starts, the time spent watching the battle in the different space is treated as a holiday. I buy a few plates of popcorn and bottles of Coke and bring them to the different space. While eating, I cheer for the players. Some citizens even open the game in the different space.

, placing bets on who will get the MVP of the copy, and which players will survive to the end. It is a great pleasure to play. This enthusiastic battle is only higher than that of the World Cup.

At this moment, Anson Deer had thick dark circles under his eyes and looked depressed, being led by Asuka the whole time.

He is obviously a native of Shangishi, but Asuka is more familiar with the roads in this area than he is. It is simply outrageous to the point where it cannot be more outrageous.

It can be seen that during his absence, Asuka should have walked all over the city. After all, this little dragon girl is full of energy and cannot sit down at all when she is idle.

Life is not easy, Ansenlu sighed: "This red dragon girl, can you please stop being so rude? When you join Shangshi City, you have to adapt to the simple folk customs here."

"You make it sound like I can't touch you if I don't call you like that." Uesugi Asuka rubbed Tianming's point as if she couldn't bear it, and said contemptuously: "Also, can you stop bullying Yuri? She has never experienced anything in this world.

Shen, what should I do if she goes to the supermarket alone and is abducted?"

"First of all, she is a serial player, who can abduct her?" Ansenlu said: "Secondly, she has hyperamnesia. She can remember the steps to buy things after going to the supermarket. She is not a child anymore.

Finally, didn’t I ask you to go with her? Why did you have to kidnap me?!”

A trace of disdain flashed across Asuka Uesugi's clear eyes. She snorted coldly and said almost word by word:

"I'll kidnap you."

"Please." Ansonlu said weakly: "Brother, I really want to rest. You have all released the dungeon for a day or two. I have just released the dungeon. I feel like my legs are about to break after walking these few steps. I just want to be a giant baby."

Rolling on the ground paralyzed."

"Who could let someone say 'sick' directly after seeing my carefully prepared salute?"

"That's also called meticulousness. Our ingenious stone climbers can make a hundred of them in one night, and it's been half a week since my birthday!"

"I don't care, I just want to celebrate your birthday, seeing how pitiful you are."

Ansonlu rolled his eyes: "Yes, yes, it's up to you."

By this time, the Anson deer had attracted the attention of many people.

Feeling the gazes coming from all around and the suddenly complicated discussions, Asuka felt helpless.

She sighed softly, took off the peaked cap she was wearing, and stuffed it on Anson's head, covering his eyes as well.

"What are you doing again?"

Anson straightened his hat and asked helplessly.

Asuka Uesugi glanced at him, covered her face and sighed: "You don't even know who you are. If you don't wear a hat, you will be surrounded by people within three seconds of entering the supermarket."

"Oh, that's true. I always forget that I am a celebrity now."

"Hey, you are a little self-aware, okay?" Uesugi Asuka said this, and her voice was long and sinister: "Obviously you are already the world's number one Anson Shika-sama."

"That's almost it. If you are number one in the world, you don't have to go shopping for groceries. Hey, everyone is too neurotic."

An Senlu said, looking down at the list Chu Qimo handed him, and said with some dazzling: "Teacher Chu is so awesome, can my poor kitchen withstand so many ingredients?"

"Let me take a look." Asuka Uesugi leaned her head closer.

Ansenlu only paid attention to one thing: "Have you brought any money? Teacher Chu and Crow seem to be making a big meal?"

Asuka took out her bear wallet from the pocket of her red coat, then took out two coins, and then looked at Anson Deer with disdain:

"I said, you don't always use evolution coins to pay back money, I feel like I'm more of a rock climber than you!"

"No, do you know the exchange rate of evolution coins? Ten evolution coins are enough to live in Shangshi for a month!"

Asuka held her forehead and sighed, "As long as you are happy."

"Actually, I'm quite happy." Ansonlu said suddenly.

"What?"

"This is the first time a friend celebrates my birthday."

Asuka Uesugi was stunned for a moment, turned her cheek, and had a slight smile on her lips.

"That's good."

The two walked into the supermarket, their bodies shrouded in the light of incandescent lamps. They followed Chu Qimo's instructions and bought ingredients in the supermarket.

Ansenlu pushed the shopping cart and followed Asuka. Asuka held Chu Qimo's list and jumped around like a deer in the supermarket, walking around and choosing ingredients carefully.

From time to time, she opened her clear eyes wide and pretended to understand the quality of the ingredients.

Anson looked back and rolled his eyes, almost fainting from sleepiness. He thought that it would be strange for a young lady like her to know how to choose ingredients. At least Asuka enjoyed it, so he didn't bother to say anything.

During this period, many adults, young players, and even children recognized Asuka. They came up one by one and asked for Asuka's autograph, photos, etc.

Anson Lu looked embarrassed and quickly lowered his peaked cap, pushing the shopping cart and humming, for fear of being recognized by others as the world's number one, Shangshi Xiaolu.

Asuka once won the MVP of the Shangshi dungeon and is considered a celebrity in this city. In addition, after leaving the law enforcement team, Asuka's reputation has improved, so the citizens of Shangishi still have a good impression of her.

In addition to those who asked for friends, Asuka patiently gave them to everyone, whether it was autographs or photos. She is a very face-conscious person and needs the approval of others.

"Are you ready?"

Anson Deer exhaled a breath and asked in a low voice.

"The last one."

After Asuka Uesugi signed a child's name, she reached out and touched her head.

"I will become a serial player like Asuka sister in the future!" the girl said.

Anson Deer couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and complained in his heart: 'Please, if the evolutionary game continues when you grow up, then humankind will have perished long ago!'

"It must be possible." Asuka hummed and smiled.

‘You can be a ghost.’ Anson Deer said in his heart.

After Asuka Uesugi sent the child away, she turned to look at Ansenlu: "Why are you so impatient?"

"If you keep telling me, I'll give in. How about we go back in the Christmas sleigh?" Anson Deer sighed softly.

"No, what if someone sees me?"

"They can't come to heaven to ask for my autograph, right?"

"It will cause unrest in the city."

The two of them came to check out at the front desk of the supermarket. As Asuka wanted too many ingredients, which were beyond what Chu Qimo originally wanted, they packed four shopping bags.

She was in a happy mood and was about to take out the money from the Bear wallet. The cashier at the front desk smiled and said: "No need to pay back the money, you are a serial player, our hero."

Anson Deer nodded quickly, just wanting to run away quickly. He had already thought about it: the stone statue of the queen would carry two bags of ingredients, and the extradimensional kangaroo would carry two bags of ingredients, perfectly allocating the four shopping bags on hand.

No.

How can you let the queen carry shopping bags?

The Shadow of Ash should be summoned and let it copy an extradimensional kangaroo.

"How is that possible? I have to pay what I have to pay?" Asuka Uesugi frowned slightly and slapped the money on the counter.

The cashier didn't know that Asuka had such a strong personality, so she said with a smile:

"Miss Asuka, our boss has stipulated that if we really accept money from you people's heroes, we will be punished."

"Okay..." Uesugi Asuka curled her lips and put the banknotes back into her wallet, "It's rare to save money, and I want to experience the feeling of buying something."

An Senlu was stunned, "Did you save this money yourself?"

"Can't I experience temporary work here with you?" She said calmly: "I have had the opportunity to experience this before. My family will help me arrange everything, including studying in the United States."

As she spoke, she put her wallet back into her coat pocket and handed Anson a stick of gum.

Anson Deer took the chewing gum, tore off the wrapping paper and put it in his mouth.

"It's okay, just be happy."

After that, he very consciously picked up four bags of ingredients, walked out of the supermarket, and entered a corner.

"Deploy the extra-dimensional kangaroo, arrange the shadow of the dust, and copy the extra-dimensional kangaroo!" Ansonlu said decisively.

"Gaba."

"Gaba."

An original extra-dimensional kangaroo and a grayer extra-dimensional kangaroo immediately appeared in front of the Anson deer.

With tears streaming down his face, Anson Deer handed the shopping bag to the hands of the two kangaroos and said: "Mr. Kangaroo, Mr. Kangaroo No. 2, you are really my savior!"

"Haha, no one has sued former chess players for animal cruelty?" Asuka Uesugi said with a suppressed smile, "I should really post this photo on Weibo."

Anson Deer shrugged his shoulders and replied nonchalantly: "If we have to be accused of this, then the world should be destroyed as soon as possible."

On the way home, there was a boy, a girl, a kangaroo carrying two shopping bags, and a phantom version of the kangaroo carrying two shopping bags. Their backs were particularly warm under the winter light.
