Global Games: Old Chess Players

January 21st, twelve o'clock noon.

Yu Mingdao put out the cigarette in his hand and glanced at his phone.

A blog post was displayed on the screen - [According to information from members of the law enforcement team, the former chess player "Anson Deer" will participate in this battle to recapture Seoul, and he will lead the union "Hell's Lighthouse" to join forces with the law enforcement team to retake South Korea.

’s capital.】

Antisocial organization?

The conspiracy of the founder of Evolution Game?

A group of lone wolf players who are selfish and have no regard for the fate of mankind?

On the one hand, there are many criticisms of the union behind Anson Deer on the Internet; on the other hand, most netizens are looking forward to the day when Hell's Lighthouse will appear in public view.

No matter what the public opinion on the Internet is, only Yu Mingdao himself knows that there are some children in the Hell Lighthouse, children who are not much different from Anson Lu, and it is simply a crime to demand too much from them.

"That kid is going to be on TV again." He smiled and looked up at the clock.

I heard that the battle to recapture Seoul will start at 12 noon on January 21st.

Moreover, major video platforms will broadcast the battle live on the Internet in real time, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Korean people.

Three days ago, Seoul declared its fall. A player used a travel voucher to enter Seoul without permission, photographed the current appearance of the South Korean capital, and spread it on the Internet.

From this point on, the public opinion environment in South Korea completely exploded.

Every city is in a depressive and extreme atmosphere. People are panicked and have trouble sleeping and eating. No one knows whether the city they are in will fall next.

If the Korean people are not given an explanation as soon as possible, the negative public opinion will only become more and more serious. When a riot breaks out, the official can only use force to suppress it, which is an outcome no one wants to see.

"Exactly twelve o'clock."

Yu Mingdao picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

He turned to the news station and boiled a pot of water.

"Today's quick report, according to the confirmed rumors on the Internet, the Hell Beacon, the union founded by the world's number one player 'Anson Deer', may appear in the public eye for the first time. They will join forces with the law enforcement team to regain the capital of South Korea.

.”

The formally dressed newscaster said with a rich and powerful voice.

Prior to this, many citizens were uneasy about the existence of the "Hell Beacon" union. The reason was simple. It was obviously a union created by the world's number one player, but it had never been made public.

Furthermore, the name of this union is really strange, and the founder of the union, "Anson Deer," has not joined the law enforcement team or the national team, so he is not considered an official member, and is still an independent person to this day.

The stacking up of such a series of facts makes it difficult for the public to avoid some negative associations in today's social environment.

Many netizens have even put forward ridiculous conjectures like - "Hell's Lighthouse is the developer who created the evolution game!", and the discussion on the Internet has been heated. If Hell's Lighthouse does not show up to express its attitude, it will only further deepen the public's fear.

disturbed.

"After today's incident, there will be a lot less people gossiping on the Internet." Yu Mingdao raised the corners of his mouth. He poured hot water into the cup, then put in two spoons of coffee powder and one spoon of condensed milk.

The mellow aroma of coffee and the sweetness of condensed milk gradually merge in the hot water.

He picked up a book on popular science about baby care and played Bach's "Aria on the G String" in the room. He just turned the page and turned to look at the boy in the cradle.

Only during holidays can he take his children out of the orphanage.

And when the time comes for the dungeon, he will entrust his child to the local orphanage - you know, the children at that time were all sent to a different space, and they were helpless, so they had to be entrusted to the people in the orphanage.

take care of.

In the past, a few qualified players would basically secretly take their families to some capital-level cities as long as they could get two travel coupons, because these cities were not easy to fall.

Similarly, Yu Mingdao also wanted to send this child to Huanjing in China.

But he doesn't have that ability, so he can only be happy that he can still stay with the child and not be separated from him.

And prayed in his heart that Anseong would not fall - otherwise, his children would be buried in a different space together with the residents of Anseong.

Recalling the fourth round of dungeons, the shocking boss battle on the empty island, if Ansonlu hadn't been there, he might have been a corpse.

Not to mention, if Ansonlu hadn't given him the travel voucher, he wouldn't have been able to return to Ancheng, and he might not have been able to see his child until he died in a certain round of dungeons.

For Yu Mingdao, except for this child lying in the cradle, no one has a higher status in his heart than Anson Deer.

If other people admire Anson Deer, it is because he is the number one in the world and he is quite mysterious.

Yu Mingdao's love for Ansenlu is based on his full understanding - to him, Ansenlu, while being the best in the world, is also just a heartwarming, kind and warm child.

"I heard that the monsters in Seoul are quite difficult to deal with, but if it's that kid, it should be fine." Yu Mingdao murmured.

Although the boss of the occupied city will be much stronger than the one in the dungeon, the strength of Anson Deer lies there. There is no need to think about the outcome of this battle to recapture Seoul. It will definitely end in victory.

However, it’s hard to say whether there will be sacrifices. If the Exploding Drummer is stronger than the Wanqi God Statue, it wouldn’t be strange to kill sequence players instantly.

The news platform did not publicly broadcast the "Seoul Recapture War" live, but the broadcast from Twitter can be seen on major platforms. The law enforcement team has a Russian female player with the serial number "Abyss Dancer".

Her name is Avril, and she was already a very popular Twitter blogger before the advent of the Evolution game. The main reason is that her appearance is as beautiful as a doll and her figure is indescribably sexy.

Not to mention, she is now a member of the law enforcement team and one of the top experts in the world.

Under various conditions, she naturally received the attention of countless players and became an Internet celebrity comparable to a superstar.

At this time, almost every domestic video platform was broadcasting Avril Lavigne’s live tweet.

This is an excellent opportunity to earn traffic. No platform will miss this opportunity. The profit from this live broadcast will be unimaginable. Almost all surviving citizens around the world are paying attention to this battle to recapture the capital.

Yu Mingdao took a sip of coffee to refresh himself and flipped through two pages of the book with his fingers.

I couldn't calm down at all.

"Forget it, let's take a look."

He sighed softly, closed the book and picked up his phone.

Open the live broadcast software, and the home page is the official live broadcast room of the 'Evolution Foundation'. The location is very conspicuous, and the title is - "The battle to recapture Seoul, the old chess players' union may appear in this battle."

Yu Mingdao looked at the cover of the live broadcast room. It was a photo of Lorenzo and Anson Lu - one on the left and one on the right. The other seemed to have been photoshopped by the person responsible for reprinting the live broadcast.

"Are these two really familiar?" He couldn't help but smile.

Yu Mingdao still remembers meeting Lorenzo in the second round of dungeon.

He could see that Anson Deer and Lorenzo were completely different people - Anson Deer would not pay attention to the outside world just because he was the best in the world, and did not even join any official organization; Lorenzo stood on the side of the world.

At the top, he voluntarily represents the official. While he holds the power, he must also pay attention to the eyes of the outside world. After all, his identity and reputation are bound to the official.

Entering the live broadcast room, thousands of comments filled the screen.

[Barrage A: Will Anson Deer really appear? This is not a headline-grabber. It has been so long and we have only seen members of the law enforcement team?!]

[Barrage B: I’m tired of watching the law enforcement team. I’ve watched those video replays ten thousand times. So will the Hell Beacon players really come? 】

[Barrage C: Rather than who is coming, shouldn’t you be more concerned about the capital of South Korea? Please, how many people have died? 】

[Barrage D: That’s South Korea. What do you care about us? Can you stop pretending like that? 】

[Barrage F: It was not said on the Internet before that there was a grudge between Hell Beacon and the law enforcement team, so Ansonlu did not join the law enforcement team. Now it has become a cooperation between the two unions. Is this nonsense? 】

[Barrage G: I was deceived by the title. If Ansonlu doesn’t come, can you report this official live broadcast room? 】

[Barrage H: Damn, this Boss has something special! 】

At a glance, all the comments are discussing Anson Deer, the title of "Old Chess Player". Whether in Asia or Europe, the discussion is almost overtaking the existence of the law enforcement team.

Not to mention in China, as a Chinese, anyone will be happy to hear that the number one in the world is from their own country.

Although Anson Deer has never appeared on official occasions, nor has it appeared on various player variety shows, China's official marketing of Anson Deer is even higher than that of the national team.

There were so many barrages that Yu Mingdao could hardly see the content of the live broadcast. He frowned, found the option to block barrages, and clicked to open it.

After blocking the barrage, the whole world suddenly became much cleaner.

"What? What is that?"

At this moment, Avril's surprised voice came out.

She raised her beautiful eyebrows, raised her phone suddenly, and pointed the camera towards the sky of Seoul - a huge ship silhouette suddenly appeared, bombarding the Exploding Drummer's body with violent firepower.

Yu Mingdao was stunned for a moment. He had roughly understood the sequence players of the Law Enforcement Team before. Among the players of the Law Enforcement Team, no one had the skills that could trigger the scene in front of him.

Who could that be? Someone from Hell's Beacon?

Yu Mingdao suddenly became excited, as if he saw his favorite team appearing on TV. He opened the barrage again and presented the barrage list on the right side so that it would not block the live broadcast.

The number of barrages increased dramatically, and barrage after barrage came in like a continuous wave. It had reached the point where Yu Mingdao had not yet seen the content of the barrage clearly, and the barrage was being brushed away.

He adjusted the settings and deliberately slowed down the barrage speed, but none of the barrage had a definite answer.

No one knows who created this skill.

The expressive power of Mingming's skills is so exaggerated, but even people who have studied sequence players deeply cannot tell which sequence this skill actually belongs to.

However, almost 90% of the speculations in the barrage point to a person who has not yet appeared in the live broadcast screen.

"Is it you, Ansenlu?" Yu Mingdao adjusted his glasses.

Avril held up her mobile phone and asked the Chinese young man wearing a black sweater beside her: "Hey, Gu Qiu, whose skill is this? Is there anyone else in the law enforcement team who can do this?"

"Who else?" Gu Qiu asked coldly: "Either Yuliu Mena's skills or Ansonlu's skills. Only the two of them can do such an unreasonable thing."

In the analysis of the Evolution Foundation - whether it is the Devouring Arm or the old chess player, both have great potential for development, and their abilities are not limited to a certain sequence.

If it is these two sequences, it is completely possible to do something beyond the scope of understanding. It would not be surprising even if Anson Deer summoned the Virgin Mary or the gods of ancient Greece one day.

But if it is a sequence called "The Matrix", and a pirate ship is suddenly summoned to bombard the enemy, this is a bit whimsical and completely inconsistent with basic logic.

"The people from Hell's Lighthouse?" Avril said in hindsight.

"Yes, they are here."

Gu Qiu raised his dark eyes and looked to the other end of the sky, where he could see a red dragon flying towards him with vibrating wings, and a floating sled dragged by two elk.

"Sure enough, it's him!" Yu Mingdao unconsciously rubbed his chin and murmured excitedly: "Let me tell you, how could this kid not come? He is not so cold-blooded yet."

Originally, he was worried that Anson Deer was too casual and rebellious, so he missed this opportunity to make the Hell Lighthouse public.

After all, because of the fall of the Korean capital, the mental state of people around the world has declined sharply, and the fear of death has enveloped every city.

In such a world, the prestige of the law enforcement team alone cannot give them the confidence to face challenges.

But if you think about it the other way around, just such a desperate and purgatory public opinion environment can actually become an excellent stage - a stage specially built for the beacon of hell!

After all, with Anson Lu’s reputation outside as a foreshadowing, everyone is guessing and expecting what kind of strength the world’s number one labor union will have.

The Hell Lighthouse emerged in the most stunning manner at this lowest moment for mankind. The inspiration and courage they bring to people are definitely beyond words.

This group of outstanding eccentrics will become an existence worthy of being recorded in history.

On par with the law enforcement team, or even surpassing the law enforcement team.

The doubts and misunderstandings the people had about them before this can be completely wiped out in a short period of time after the battle to recapture Seoul.

"As expected of you."

Yu Mingdao took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He watched with his own eyes as this young man started from scratch and slowly reached this point.

There were no words to describe the mixed feelings in his heart.

Is it inferiority? Jealousy? Envy? Or admiration? He doesn't know. Although he is too insignificant as a mortal in front of Anson Deer, he is willing to dedicate his life to this person from the bottom of his heart.

Because only Anson Deer would think highly of him as an ordinary player, instead of treating him coldly like other sequence players, as if he was as worthless as trash.

"Extradimensional kangaroo, spit out the captain of the dragon boat." Anson Deer stood on the sled and said coldly: "At the same time, future bluebird, come to me."

After that, the red dragon vibrated its majestic wings and shot five meters above the explosive drummer. A group of crows flew past. A Japanese man wearing a black windbreaker, holding nearly twenty dice in his hand, appeared on the red dragon.

Dragon's back.

He relaxed his hands lightly, and the gray-black dice fell down with a clatter, landing accurately in the sky above the Exploding Drummer.

Not only that, a giant whale formed by violent water flow, and a meteorite formed by tens of thousands of feet of ice, crashed down from the sky at the same time, attacking the Exploding Drummer with the most violent attitude.

"Bang!!!"

Twenty dice exploded at the same time, turning into a sea of ​​gray fire, burning and cracking every inch of the drummer's skin.

What followed was a roaring giant whale, which heated up violently within two seconds, triggering a devastating steam explosion.

Finally, the huge ice meteorite slowly fell from the sky.

At this moment, the barrage exploded completely. Thousands of barrages were sent from the hands of Chinese netizens, almost drowning all the sight of Yu Mingdao.

He quickly blocked the barrage and looked at the live broadcast screen.

However, before the meteorite fell on the Exploding Drummer's head, suddenly, a sound of crying baby came from the cradle, like a sharp knife, cutting off Yu Mingdao's shocking thoughts from the middle.

"Why"

Yu Mingdao slapped his forehead and sighed. He quickly put down his cell phone, hurried to the cradle, picked up the swaddled baby, and patiently coaxed him to sleep according to the method taught in the book.

His face was pale and his mood was very complicated.

This feeling is like a gathering of relatives and neighbors. When everyone is watching the penalty kick of the World Cup final, the TV antenna suddenly disconnects and the screen becomes dark and nothing can be seen.

After Yu Mingdao coaxed the child to fall asleep, he sat back on the sofa with peace of mind.

He picked up his phone and took a look. The live broadcast screen was pitch black, with only one line of font displayed - [The host has downloaded the broadcast. Don't forget to follow it. You will receive the first reminder when the broadcast starts next time!

].

Other than that, all that's left in the live broadcast room is barrages pouring out like a waterfall.

Audiences on the Internet are still discussing the battle just now, and the barrage is endless, with no sign of stopping.

[Barrage A: Oh my god, my god, my god, is this the monster from Hell Lighthouse? I defeated that boss in just twenty seconds!]

[Barrage B: Have you seen the expressions of the members of the law enforcement team? They have no chance to take action!!!]

[Barrage C: Oh my god, the most important thing is the damage done by the old chess player’s new chess piece. Have you seen it? This is too exaggerated. Is it something that humans can do?!]

[Barrage D: We are all players, why are they so perverted? 】

[Barrage F: This is our number one in the world! The union he leads will definitely not be weak. There must be a reason why he has not appeared in public before! 】

"Is this the end?" Yu Mingdao felt a little lonely, but fortunately he could still watch the live broadcast replay.

However, there was some surprise deep in his heart.

He has known Yuri and Urushihara from the very beginning, and he also knows that they are Ansenlu's companions.

When the public questioned why Anson Deer did not join the law enforcement team and why he was harboring these sequence players, he kept silent, but in his heart he had a strong urge to explain to Anson Deer.

Only today did they officially appear in the world's sight, standing beside Anson Deer.

The old chess player was no longer lonely, no longer the lone hero in people's eyes. For the first time, he led his companions to stand in front of the public, proving to the whole world how scornful the monsters he led were.

In twenty seconds, kill the capital-level boss - Exploding Drummer.

Such an ending is enough to prove how perverted the union led by Anson Deer is; judging from the public response, it is almost perfect, and everyone is stunned by the performance of this group of monsters.

After watching the live broadcast replay, Yu Mingdao fell into deep silence.

After a long time, he opened Weibo.

Sure enough, the shocking scene just now has turned into tens of millions of blog posts, occupying the homepage of Weibo.

"Do you know how powerful this kid is?"

Yu Mingdao lit a cigarette, took a deep hiss with relief, and turned to look at the sleeping child.

"Xiao Ao, I can't leave that boy behind too much."
