Global Games: Old Chess Players

The cooldown time of "Chess Domain" is over. With this trump card in hand, Anson Deer can roam around Sapporo at will without having to worry too much about those monsters called Oni Samurai.

As the capital city of Hokkaido, Sapporo is a prosperous city. However, under the cover of night, the light of neon lights and electronic signs is as dim as ink. The LED displays embedded in the surfaces of high-rise buildings are gray and cannot bring any light to the streets.

Any light.

The cold and gloomy wind swept across the city, and demons and monsters roamed everywhere, looking for targets to persecute.

Creepy wails echoed in the city, and from time to time the roars of ghost warriors were heard, but there was a qualitative difference between the two. The former came from the players, and the latter came from the ghost warriors.

If you die in a challenge dungeon, you will first lose your player qualifications, secondly, there is a 50% chance of becoming a citizen, and a 50% chance of dying completely.

But before death, the pain felt by every player is one to one real. No normal person can bear the pain of having his flesh and blood torn apart by a sword.

Lifting the veil of fantasy and hysterical howling is the most realistic reaction that a normal person should show before death.

Not everyone can die with a face full of indifference and ease like the heroes in the TV series.

"Ah, this..." Ansonlu shuddered and said softly, "They are probably all dead. How many players are left in the city now..."

He doesn't just take action when he sees a ghost warrior. Doing so is very inefficient and can easily leave risks.

Because the chessboard laid out in the chess domain cannot be moved and will only cover an area, if Anson Deer releases the chess domain casually without considering it, the efficiency of killing monsters will be very low.

Anson Deer is looking for an opportunity to efficiently slaughter a large number of ghost warriors, but at the same time, he must prepare a retreat for himself, because he cannot fight a protracted battle.

After all, every minute of maintaining the chess field requires 10% of the old chess players' mana.

The mana consumed by the chess field is calculated as a percentage. In other words, Anson Deer can currently maintain the chess field for up to ten minutes.

With a high degree of caution along the way, Ansenlu avoided many ghost warriors. He saw many players who died tragically at the hands of ghost warriors, but he also did not take action.

Especially the kind of players who yell, roll and crawl.

Ansenlu mourned for them in his heart, but completely ignored them.

On a psychological level, these players cannot even cross the threshold of ghost warriors, so how can they have enough psychological quality to deal with ghost generals located in sea cities.

Looking further ahead, let alone the snow dragon that will come to Tokyo, Japan, in half a year.

Even if these people rely on luck and barely maintain their player qualifications until the world boss battle half a year later, they will either become cannon fodder or become deserters.

Ansenlu saw many players using their skills along the way, and he also had some thoughts in his mind, so that he would not feel unfamiliar or confused about the professional skills they displayed.

Because he just spent ten minutes and obtained a lot of relevant information in the [Player Knowledge] column of the system panel.

There are five major professions available to ordinary players: warrior, priest, assassin, mage, and archer. After reaching a specific level of any of these professions, you can choose the direction of career change.

For example: Priests can change their professions in the following directions: Paladin, Priest; Mage can change their professions in the following directions: Battle Mage, Elemental Mage; Archers can change their professions in the following directions: Gunner, Night Hunter, etc.

In short, it is just like a traditional online game. Anson Lu estimates that the aliens or gods who developed this evolutionary game basically put their energy and creativity into special career sequences.

But so far, Anson Deer has only seen one special profession of his own.

Although he has not seen other special career sequences, he can conclude that the development potential of the career sequence of the old chess players is definitely no less than that of any special profession.

Because other players have to form a team of at least three or four people to kill a ghost warrior with great difficulty, but Anson can do this easily as a single deer.

This is the superiority of the "Old Chess Player" career sequence, and based on Ansonlu's observation of the game, this is definitely a career that will be stronger in the later stages.

Collecting different types of chess sets, acquiring versatile chess types, and replacing them with more powerful chess boards means that the profession of the old chess player is unparalleled in its comprehensiveness and development.

Whether it is the "healing" exclusive to the priest profession, the "beat resistance" exclusive to the warrior profession, or the "aoe skills" exclusive to the mage profession, all of them can be realized in the professional sequence of chess players in the past.

Such comprehensive potential must be far superior to other professions.

Even though it may be weaker than other special professions now, Anson Deer can still sit firmly at the top of the evolutionary game when it develops in the future.

Moreover, he can put a long distance away from the second place player.

.....

.....

Half an hour later.

Sapporo City, Tanukikoji Shopping Street.

This is one of the most famous commercial streets in Sapporo. Anyone who travels to Hokkaido in winter will not miss the sights of Tanukikoji Commercial Street and Sapporo TV Tower.

Two civet cat-shaped lanterns hang high at the entrance of this commercial street, with the characters "raccoon" and "cat" written on them respectively.

The dome of Tanukikoji Shopping Street is enclosed. This shopping street is ranked among the best in all of Japan. Various shops such as vintage shops, kimono shops, international restaurants, and izakayas are gathered here.

As the night gets darker, the bright lights in Tanukikoji Commercial Street light up one after another like toppled dominoes, and the entire commercial street blooms with a humanistic brilliance.

This tanukikoji commercial street is so large that it stretches for several kilometers, making it difficult to see the end at a glance.

Although the crowds are not as crowded as in the past, Tanukikoji Commercial Street is still lively tonight, but the difference is that the visitors are all crawling, deformed monsters.

Ansonlu wanted to find a place to hunt ghost warriors. According to his observations along the road, judging from the overall trend, the number of ghost warriors converging on this commercial street was the largest among them.

Therefore, this commercial street is an excellent hunting place.

The release point of the chess field is fixed and cannot be moved, which is equivalent to a nest.

Since the Anson deer built this nest, if it wants to change its base later, it can only destroy the original nest and build a new one.

Therefore, his goal is very simple, to find a place where ghost warriors appear more often, but their positions are relatively scattered, to free up the chess field.

As a result, he really found it.

Anson Deer relied on the shelter of the building to avoid one ghost warrior after another, and gradually went deeper into this commercial street full of neon lights, where the moonlight could not penetrate through the sealed dome.

At this moment, he saw the figures of two players not far away, hiding behind a huge electronic sign.
