Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 146 "In the future, I will also be a principal here."

Ansonlu opened the door, and the warmth from the air conditioner enveloped his body, "I'm back."

"Welcome, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Lu."

Qi Yuanlu was sitting on the sofa, holding his chin with his hand, flipping through a magazine boredly; Yuri was watching TV quietly; Chu Qimo was in the kitchen, sorting the utensils needed for cooking.

Anson took off the peaked cap he was wearing, handed it to Asuka, and breathed out a hot breath:

"It doesn't matter how many things you asked for. I have the nerve to complain to me for a long time, but the main reason is that our big star has wasted too much time and has been signing autographs and taking photos with others."

Asuka Uesugi took the peaked cap, frowned slightly and said, "You should stop complaining. If they recognized you, we would still be surrounded in the supermarket and unable to get out."

"Gaba."

"Gaba."

From behind the two people, two extra-dimensional kangaroos carrying shopping bags squeezed past. They walked into the apartment, put down the shopping bags, and then dissipated very consciously.

"Wait a minute, kangaroo." Anson Deer suddenly said.

"Gaba?"

The extra-dimensional kangaroo jumps out, but the Shadow of Ashes doesn't have this ability - it will turn into its true form after returning to the chess field, a gray guy with no intelligence.

Ansenlu looked at Chu Qimo, patted the kangaroo on the shoulder, and said seriously:

"Teacher Chu, please entertain one more person. You will be considered our hero after all."

Chu Qimo hugged his shoulders, hesitated for half a second, looked at the kangaroo again, and said meaningfully:

"I understand, President, then I'll make it for six people."

"As expected of Teacher Chu, I'm looking forward to it."

Qi Yuanlu said: "Lu Jun, my cooking skills are also outstanding."

Ansonlu sat down on the sofa and directly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the British official team has a serial player named 'Donnie Cooking God'. I really want to bring that guy over."

Asuka Uesugi rolled her eyes at him: "Ha, if you really kidnap him and let me sort it out, you will not only offend China, Iceland, and the United States, but you will also have to add the United Kingdom."

Ansonlu shrugged: "That's almost it. The world is going to be destroyed. They can't stop fighting among themselves."

Chu Qimo and Qi Yuanlu each carried two bags of ingredients into the narrow kitchen and sorted the ingredients in an orderly manner.

It can be seen that these two people are not a good pairing - Qi Yuanlu is casual and casual, making full use of divergent thinking in his work style, and can prepare several dishes at the same time; Chu Qimo is serious and rigorous, and almost every dish is strict

Follow the recipe steps;

Anyway, Anson Deer was dumbfounded.

"That's awesome." Ansonlu raised his eyebrows, "Speaking of which, Yuri, forget it, Asuka, can you cook?"

"No." Asuka answered decisively.

"What do you mean...I'll forget it?" The Icelandic girl turned her attention away from the TV.

"Of course you can, Mr. Yuri!" Ansenlu quickly changed his words: "Do I need to say more?"

"I don't know how." Yuri paused and put his hand on his chin, "But I just need a recipe. I took a look at it and wrote it down."

"Okay, everyone knows that you have a very good memory, but actual combat and theory are two different things. When I was a child, I was very interested in seeing the toy puzzle of Gundam. When I got home, I spent an entire night unable to put it together."

"hiss--!!!"

At this moment, there was already a fragrance wafting out of the kitchen. Qi Yuanlu was not wearing an apron. He was still wearing the black windbreaker, but there was no oil on it. The technique of grilling meat was flexible and clever;

Chu Qimo's attitude was meticulous. He took off his coat and exposed the shirt underneath. His strong muscles held up the clothes, and the lines were clearly revealed through the shape of the folds. He put on an apron and cooked potato soup;

Outside the kitchen, Asuka Uesugi was holding her chin in her hand, reading a comic.

"This is a good man." Asuka raised her red nose and sniffed the aroma from the kitchen, "Comrade, former chess player, can you learn from this?"

"Haha, the tough guy who just saved Tokyo is not a good man, right?"

"There is a difference between a hero and a good man."

"Then what is the concept of a good man?"

Asuka said: "Not only should you be successful in your career, but you should also take care of your family. Taking care of your family is the most basic thing."

"Have you watched too much "The Godfather"?" Anson Deer complained.

"Rest." Yuri suddenly said.

She put her arms on the table and used a book as a cushion. Then she closed her slender eyes, and her clear eyes were replaced by long eyelashes.

Ansonlu took a sip of Coke and looked at her: "You can go to my room to sleep."

Yuri turned his snow-white cheek to the side, opened his eyes, stared straight at Anson Deer, and said in an emotionless voice: "Your room only has one bed."

"Yes, you can sleep on my bed, or else sleep on the floor?"

"good."

After Yuri finished speaking, he stood up from the table, walked into Ansonlu's room with the book in his arms, and closed the door.

"Click"

The sound of locking.

"Hey, hey, whose room is this?" Ansonlu was stunned.

Asuka Uesugi glanced at him and said contemptuously: "Oh, be careful of some unsavory books being found."

"You seem to understand?"

"How can you understand?"

"By the way, I have to go back to school later."

"what?"

"Go to the principal's office. The principal hid a few bottles of wine in the cabinet. He fell ill and died."

Asuka was stunned: "Dead?"

Since her attention was focused on things like dungeons and players, she had almost forgotten that besides being killed by dungeons and getting lost in a different space, there were many ways for humans to die.

For example: death from old age, death from illness, suicide, etc...

However, although the city is closed, starvation deaths are rare.

If it is a larger city, official staff will arrange for players to purchase goods from the dungeon, bring enough food back to the original city, and then distribute it evenly to those citizens who have lost their jobs.

In smaller villages and rural areas, official personnel will also send some players with special positions to use the luggage space and travel voucher mechanisms to deliver food resources to them.

This is also the reason why the official force is to recycle travel coupons from players.

A travel voucher has many meanings. The official will either use the travel voucher to distribute resources, or give the travel voucher to sequential players, allowing them to go to the fallen city and eliminate the remaining colonial monsters.

"Yeah." Ansonlu drank the Coke in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief, "The principal passed away. It's not a strange thing. In addition to being hacked to death by monsters in the dungeon, there are many ways to die."

"Oh... then you can go by yourself." Asuka Uesugi hesitated for two seconds, "Just in time, the things I ordered have almost arrived, so I won't accompany you to school."

"What?"

"Confidentiality."

"The scariest thing is, why is my home the address you ordered?" Ansonlu threw the Coke can into the trash can, put his hands into the pockets of his hoodie, walked to the door in two or three steps, "Let's go."

Qiu Wen is a freshman at Shangshi High School.

He is sixteen years old this year. If he had been a year later, he would probably have died in some copy instead of sitting in the classroom... As the most ordinary person, he died quietly, leaving no traces.

.

Nowadays, because teachers under the age of forty-five have been involved in the evolution game, not to mention the low survival rate after four rounds of dungeons, these teachers basically no longer teach.

Therefore, most of the people who are now responsible for teaching high school courses are veteran teachers who are over fifty years old.

Today, under the teacher's instructions, Qiu Wen has a task.

As a top student in the class, he has to persuade those bad students who are often absent from class to return to the classroom when it is time to attend class instead of wandering outside. He is known as "preparing for the evolutionary game in advance."

, exercise”.

Qiu Wen did so, but unfortunately the response he received was not optimistic.

On the rooftop of the teaching building.

The boy with dyed yellow hair turned his head, holding a cigarette in his mouth: "Are you out of your mind? What's the use of studying? From now on, everyone will have to go to the battlefield and become players."

His name is Lu Gan, he is sixteen years old, and he has not even attended a serious class since the evolution game began.

"I don't want to be a player." Qiu Wen adjusted his glasses: "Besides, no one has ever said that the evolution game will still be going on a year later. Why are you absent from class? Teacher Ke Qi is waiting for you."

"Why, we should be taking all the popular science courses related to evolutionary games." A young man holding a bat said: "But what about other courses? What's the point now? If we don't exercise, we'll be waiting to die.

?”

His name is Xu Yang, he is sixteen years old, and like Lu Qian, he is a famous delinquent in the school.

Qiu Wen frowned and said without any doubt:

"Anyway, you go back first."

"Please, why don't you look at how many people are left in class now?" Lu Qian bit her cigarette and dismissed it.

Xu Yang echoed: "Yes, I heard that the current number one player in the world, the 'Old Chess Player', was a low-level player in the past. His grades were extremely poor, which means that studying is of no use."

Qiu Wen couldn't bear it and said: "You... you are just using the evolution game as an excuse to escape reality. You don't study hard and do nothing."

"Qiu Wen, when did you dare to speak to me like this?" Lu Qian's face darkened.

Xu Yang grabbed Qiu Wen's school uniform collar and said, "If I don't teach you a lesson, I really think I can do it myself."

"Who says I am a loser?" A calm voice came from behind them, "I do have a chess champion. Do you have one? If not, you should go back and study hard."

Lu Qian and Xu Yang turned around and looked at the visitors with frowns, their expressions suddenly changed.

Ansonlu put his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, leaned against the rooftop grille, and quietly observed the three of them.

Qiu Wen's face looked a little in disbelief. Even if he was not interested in the evolution game, there was no way he had never seen this face on TV. He was one of the most famous people in the world.

Lu Qian and Xu Yang also froze on the spot, muttering hoarsely with dry throats.

"No way, this is me?"

"It's true..."

After a while, Ansenlu walked over and stopped in front of Lu Qian and Xu Yang.

He exhaled a white breath and said slowly: "Go back to class and don't make me say it a second time. From now on, I will come to check every week. I hope I won't see... you are still unruly."

Lu Qian and Xu Yang nodded quickly and left the rooftop calmly.

An Senlu sighed softly and looked at the stunned Qiu Wen: "Your name is Qiu Wen, right?"

"Yeah." Qiu Wen nodded.

"You don't have to worry about anything, just study hard." Ansenlu said slowly: "You can do whatever you want in the future. Not everyone has to be a bullshit player."

"What about the evolution game?"

"The Evolution Game will end this year. I will," After a pause, Anson Deer said, "I will find a way to make it end."

Qiu Wen was startled for a moment, and he still didn't recover. He said hoarsely:

"Thanks."

"Are there any other people who skipped class?" Anson Lu twisted his stiff neck, "I happen to be free and can accompany you to find them."

"No, I won't bother you." Qiu Wen whispered: "I can just go look for it myself. There are not many people. Senior Lu, you are one year older than me. I have seen you before. When I went to the principal's office, I saw

I saw you and the principal playing chess."

Ansen Lu was startled for a moment, he was silent for two seconds, then smiled and said:

"Yes, I quite like playing chess with him."

"Everyone in the class likes you very much. They will discuss you during class. They all say that you are the hope of mankind...the world. It is really a blessing for us to have a person like you in Shangshi City.

"

"Am I so popular?"

"Well, aren't there a lot of votes online?" Qiu Wen said: "Every time in the popularity vote of sequence players, you take the first place, and the second place is the Italian from the law enforcement team. He is voted down every time.

many.

But in my eyes, senior, you must be under a lot of pressure as you often appear in everyone’s sight.” After a pause, he continued:

"I feel like you've changed a lot compared to when I saw you in the principal's office back then, but it's also... that you've become such a high-profile person, and you can't decide what you want to do."

Anson Deer said thoughtfully:

"Maybe I can't decide. After all, if I lie down, the earth will really be destroyed. Well, although this sounds silly and arrogant, it is actually true."

"Haha..." Qiu Wen was amused.

It is really hard not to feel amazing that a person who has many auras and is known to everyone in the world stands in front of you and speaks such down-to-earth words.

"Come on, junior fellow, study hard and strive to be the first in your grade. Tsinghua University and Peking University are waiting for you."

"Tsinghua and Peking University are a bit far away, but I will try my best."

"Okay." An Senlu patted Qiu Wen's shoulder and added: "Also, tell the lower grade students for me, let them study hard and don't think too much. The game of evolution will not be their turn.

"

"Okay, I will tell you."

"Then I'm leaving. If you need anything next time, come to me. I will be here in the teachers' dormitory every holiday. However, don't tell other students about this, otherwise the dormitory will be surrounded by people every day."

Anson Deer left after saying this.

Qiu Wen watched quietly as the man left the rooftop. The dark blue sky was like a curtain, gradually swallowing up his figure.

For some reason, Qiu Wen always felt that this man's back was a little lonely.

Obviously everyone around him is envious of Ansonlu, envious of him being the number one in the world and having such luck, but becoming the number one in the world is not a perfect thing...

Ansenlu walked off the rooftop and came to the principal's office on the fifth floor.

The principal's office is empty... I heard that a new principal will be here soon, and it was arranged by the Shangshi official. After all, Shangshi High School is a public school.

Ansonlu stopped at the door of the principal's office and took a breath of air. The aroma of ancient tea penetrated the tip of his nose, as well as a hint of old tobacco. It seemed that the old guy had been drinking tea and smoking here.

The bright sunshine at noon, obscured by the curtains, shone in in a hazy form, covering every inch of the wall in the principal's office with a dim halo.

Ansonlu raised his head and looked at the long cabinet placed in the corner of the window. The glass cabinet contained a universal chess board, a chess box, some messy certificates, and several bottles of old wine that could be called decorations.

He opened the cabinet, took out the chessboard and chess box, sat on the leather chair behind his desk, unfolded the chessboard on the table, took out the dusty chess pieces, and followed his memory to lay out familiar chess games on the chessboard.

He had many fights with the principal.

Many times, he almost lost to the principal.

Every time like this, the principal would rub his chin with his hand, look at Ansonlu with a smile in his eyes, and say sarcastic words.

However, every time Ansenlu came up with a move that broke the game, the principal's expression was one of relief, without any trace of disappointment. He just said "That's good" and "I'm relieved, your chess skills haven't deteriorated."

In this case.

It's like he doesn't want to see Anson Deer lose to him.

Ansonlu could now understand why the principal didn't want him to lose.

Because if even he loses now, the world may repeat the same mistakes. Half a year later, the snow dragon will still be unstoppable and crush the world with the most brutal attitude.

"It's so boring..." Ansonlu pursed his lips and picked up a chess piece.

The sunlight was cut into thousands of rays by the grid window, shining diagonally on the chessboard. He moved the chess pieces silently, recalling every afternoon he spent sitting here with that person.

After a long time, he learned the posture commonly used by the principal, crossed his hands on the table, crossed his legs, and looked around the elegant room quietly.

The brilliance of Anson Deer's eyes has never been so dim.

"When I get old." He leaned on the back of his chair and said softly: "In the future, I will also be a principal here. I don't know if Shangshi High School will close down by then..."

At this moment, an unusual information bubble popped up in the upper right corner of his sight.

Anson Deer took a deep breath, stretched out his knuckled fingers, and opened the bubbles.

It's a message from Lorenzo.
