Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 158 Serial interview program, Pope murder case

"Welcome to this issue of the special interview program for sequence players. What can be announced for the time being is that there will be a total of three sequence players in this issue, and they are all among the top ten players on the popularity list!"

On TV, the host held the microphone and said happily.

It was the night of January 29. After taking a shower, Ansonlu sat on the bed in his bedroom with a towel, wiping his hair while watching the 8 o'clock TV program - "Serial Interview".

This is a program filmed in New York, USA. The reason for setting up this program is very simple, to help the members of the law enforcement team and the national team consolidate their characters and win the love of the public.

In today's era, superstars have been completely replaced by serial players. In order to ensure the operation of capital, the official will cooperate with some big names in the asset industry and rely on the reputation of serial players to make profits.

In other words, the essence of these sequence players is no longer just heroes - outside of the dungeon time, they will take on a lot of work that should belong to artists and live in the eyes of the people.

The stage of the show is very simple, with an elevator in the center and two sofas. There is only one host, an old American man with a slicked back hair and sunglasses.

"The first guest in this episode is - Jiang Yijie from the Chinese National Team, ranked ninth in the world. This handsome guy's serial occupation is 'Emerald Mask'!" The host moved toward the elevator and spread his arms vigorously.

Bang!

Exaggerated fireworks were scattered all over the sky, and the elevator in the center of the stage unfolded. Jiang Yijie, dressed in a suit, stepped out of the elevator and waved to the audience with a gentle smile.

The whole crowd cheered.

"I'll go, isn't it embarrassing..." Ansen Lu said with numbness as he gnawed on melon seeds, "I really have you. Fortunately, I haven't joined any law enforcement team or national team."

Jiang Yijie sat down on the sofa opposite the host. His sitting posture was very upright, and he looked like he had received an upper-class education, not someone who was deliberately pretending to be in front of the camera.

"Mr. Jiang Yijie, as the face of China, our serial player interviews have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. What do you want to say to your fans?" The host pretended to be excited.

"Sorry, I failed to live up to everyone's expectations. I just found time recently." Jiang Yijie smiled, "I hope we can spend a pleasant night together."

There was another burst of cheers.

The shouting audience was mostly Chinese people living in New York, as well as players who flew in from China with travel vouchers - it seems that as one of the most well-known figures in China, Jiang Yijie still has a high status in the eyes of his countrymen.

.

Ansonlu took a bite of melon seeds and said, "Isn't this guy busy investigating the principal before?"

At this time, the host once again pointed at the elevator and spread his arms, raised the microphone and shouted.

"Then, welcome to our second guest - Lorenzo de' Medici from the Law Enforcement Team. He is currently ranked second in the world rankings, and his serial name is 'The Bell-Crazy Pope'."

Everything is silent.

The program crew showed close-ups of the audience's expressions, and every audience member's face was filled with disbelief.

Immediately, the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.

Colorful confetti scattered.

An Italian with a height of nearly 1.9 meters and long hair and blue eyes walked out and waved to the audience with a smile.

The program team gave a close-up shot, and Lorenzo's facial contour looked as if it had been cut with a knife: clear, cold, and comparable to ancient Greek sculptures.

Now no one in the audience could sit still. The entire audience shouted Lorenzo's name loudly, and Lorenzo sat down next to Jiang Yijie in everyone's sight.

Some fanatical fans were so passionate that they almost lost their minds and almost rushed to the stage, but the cold batons in the hands of the guards were like a bucket of cold water, poured on their heads.

"Hey, this guy actually has time to appear on this kind of show?" Ansonlu was a little surprised.

He dried his hair, picked up the Coke from the table, and took a sip through a straw.

Anson Deer originally thought that a busy man like Lorenzo would not participate in such a program. But he was wrong. Lorenzo worked for the official, and as long as the official asked him to participate, he had no room to refuse.

After all, the law enforcement team and the national team are backed by the government. In today's high-pressure environment, if even the government, the only government that the people can trust, loses its prestige, then the world will be completely over.

Therefore, the official will use this marketing method similar to that of the entertainment industry to maximize the personality charm of serial players and win the love of the people in a down-to-earth way.

By the way, the first two guests are so important, who will be the third guest? Ansonlu took a sip of water.

"Mr. Lorenzo, this is your first time to participate in our program. As the most famous and most popular sequence player in the world, what do you want to say to your fans?" the host said enthusiastically.

ask.

At this moment, the audience under the stage was still shouting.

Lorenzo raised the microphone, his blue eyes thoughtful.

After a while, he said in a magnetic voice: "Everyone, can you please be quiet first?"

Under the gaze of these blue eyes, a silent and solemn majesty spread out, and the audience suddenly fell into silence.

"Thank you for your continued support. Next, I will lead the law enforcement team more diligently until the dawn of dawn for mankind." Lorenzo said lightly.

"Cough...cough cough..." Ansonlu almost spit out the water, "Holy crap, I'm so damn middle-aged. Is this what it feels like to be forced to open a business?"

After Lorenzo finished speaking, he took the microphone and sat on the sofa.

His position was next to Jiang Yijie, and the two of them didn't even say hello or look at each other. Judging from this detail, the relationship between the two was probably not very good.

The host smiled and waited patiently until the audience calmed down before spreading his arms toward the elevator.

“Then, let’s invite our last guest tonight, who is also our special guest, a rogue player from China—Wang Youjin!”

"Who is this?" Ansenlu was stunned, "Wait a minute, isn't this an exclusive interview with a serial player? Why is there a thief player?"

What he didn't expect was that the audience's voice was loud, and it seemed that many people were looking forward to this player's appearance.

Ansonlu raised his brows, becoming a little more interested. The elevator door opened, and the person exposed under the spotlight was a tall and handsome middle-aged man with a sinister face.

"Mr. Wang Youjin is the first ordinary professional player to appear on our "Serial Player Interview" program. However, with the profession of 'Shadow Wing', he ranks 352nd in the global combat power rankings as an ordinary player.

Famous! Became the only ordinary professional player among the top 1,000 players in the global combat power rankings!" the host introduced in a calm tone.

The audience applauded endlessly.

Lorenzo and Jiang Yijie also clapped softly to show their respect for this ordinary player.

Shadow Wing? Oh, the thief's twist...Anson Deer just reacted.

He used his mobile phone to look up this person. On the Internet, Wang Youjin was called the "King of Thieves" and the "Shadow Wing of China". He had a high level of secondary disease, but he lived up to his name.

Anson Deer was even more surprised.

Wang Youjin is not only an ordinary player, but also uses the job transfer status of the unpopular profession of thief - Shadow Wing, and even uses this to rank among the top 1000 in the global combat power list?

No wonder Wang Youjin was invited to participate in this show - he simply represents the pinnacle that an ordinary player can reach, and he couldn't be more inspiring.

Of course, it may also be because the "Shadow Wing" profession is too unpopular and has received some information-poor benefits that no one has explored yet - after all, few people choose the thief profession, let alone those who survive to the first level as a thief.

At present, the mainstream professions in the world are still mages and archers, followed by warriors and priests, and finally, thieves are almost no one cares about.

Because of this, it is so easy for the media to market Wang Youjin.

It is the most exaggerated point to use a profession that no one cares about to be on par with serial players, or even surpass 60% of serial players.

There is no doubt that his existence has given ordinary players hope for self-improvement and a way forward.

The world needs such a representative of ordinary people.

If the official is busy praising those "born noble" serial players, it will not be able to meet the needs of ordinary players. One day, conflicts between ordinary players and serial players will break out.

On the TV screen, Wang Youjin sat next to Lorenzo.

The positions of the three people on the sofa are: Jiang Yijie on the left, Lorenzo in the middle, and Wang Youjin on the right.

After that, the host chatted with them some random questions, such as - "How do you view the Battle of Seoul? The world's number one player's union 'Hell Lighthouse' was officially launched. Mr. Lorenzo, Mr. Jiang Yijie, are you and Mr.

Do you know the old chess players personally?"

"Please, can I take advantage of this?" Ansonlu took a sip of Coke and shrugged helplessly.

He finally understood that this program had to tap into his popularity.

After all, the Seoul incident just ended a few days ago, and the discussion at this meeting has only increased, and it is still a matter that people talk about enthusiastically.

There are also many questions in everyone's mind. They almost want to know urgently: Is there any relationship between Lorenzo and Anson Deer, the second in the world and the first in the world?

"Uh..." Jiang Yijie hesitated for half a second, smiled and said: "To be honest, I don't have much contact with Mr. Ansenlu, but I think he is a very down-to-earth and interesting person."

In fact, Jiang Yijie only met An Senlu once.

However, he said there was a reason for not having much contact.

After all, as a representative of the Chinese national team, he could never say publicly: "The principal of Shangshi High School threatened our Chinese officials not to have contact with Anson Lu."

The earthquake of public opinion caused by such remarks will not ease in a day or two, and the consequences are simply unimaginable.

"It's down-to-earth and interesting. It really refreshes our understanding of old chess players." The host said with a smile, "In the video clip released by the Evolution Foundation, the world's number one 'Anson Deer' always seems to have a cold face.

What does it look like."

In front of the TV, Ansonlu's face was ashen, and he drank the Coke in one gulp in confusion.

If it had been before, he would have started to dig into the ground with his toes, but now he has never seen any big winds or waves, so with his shamelessness, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

Then it was Lorenzo's turn to speak.

"I have a cooperative relationship with the old chess player, and we are also friends." Lorenzo picked up the microphone and said slowly:

"In my opinion, Ansonlu is a kind and principled person, but I have to admit that he is also a withdrawn and persistent person. It is precisely because of his sharp personality that he cannot integrate into the official organization and work side by side with us.

fighting."

"Because the old chess players did not join official organizations and played for people all over the world, many people said that Anson Deer was a selfish and cynical sinner. What do you think of this?" the host asked.

"This is undoubtedly wrong." Lorenzo said categorically: "Even if they have not joined the official organization, the Anson deer is still using its own way to defend the homeland of mankind."

After a pause, he continued:

"The United Nations officially respects the individuality of sequence players. Anson Deer is an outstanding person, and the same is true for the players of Hell Beacon. The law enforcement team will continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with them, instead of ignoring and obliterating their personal will and forcing them to enter

Law enforcement team.”

Ansonlu laughed in front of the TV and couldn't help complaining: "That's not what you said before. The law enforcement team has done a really good job in managing the image. They must have prepared a draft a long time ago."

If Lorenzo told the truth, the scene would be very exciting - "We can't defeat the Hell Lighthouse, so the recruitment failed."

At this time, most of the audience in the venue were applauding Lorenzo's wonderful speech, but some people remained silent and their expressions were not very friendly.

Obviously, not everyone can accept this far-fetched rhetoric.

"Because of the official's connivance with private serial player unions like 'Hell's Lighthouse', the public doubted whether the official approach was too soft. They all said that only by letting old chess players directly serve the country can they maximize their power.

." The host added.

Lorenzo was silent for two seconds, leaned closer to the microphone, and said calmly: "I'm very sorry, I will refuse to answer similar questions in the future."

There was a burst of sighs from the audience.

"Anyway, thank you Mr. Lorenzo for your answer!"

The host laughed twice and quickly changed the topic: "Next, I have a question from a netizen. I would like to ask Mr. Wang Youjin, as an ordinary player, what kind of efforts did you go through to achieve the same level as the serial players?

On an equal footing?"

Wang Youjin picked up the microphone and said deeply:

"Before answering this question, I have something to say to all the ordinary players who are struggling: ordinary professions do not necessarily mean they will be weaker than special sequences, as long as..."

Anson Deer has no interest in it, so he plays Minesweeper on his mobile phone.

What he wants to see more is Lorenzo making a fool of himself on the show. He heard that there will be a "scandal segment" in the follow-up show that he likes to see.

In this fascinating session, the program team will find out some innocuous scandals and let the sequence players answer, focusing on capturing their reactions on camera.

This link is arranged to make the image of sequence players more friendly to the people and closer to life. After all, no one likes a high-ranking person, even if he is a superstar.

Almost when Anson Deer was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep, he finally arrived at this stage.

"Mr. Jiang Yijie, I heard that you were very popular in college. Once at the graduation ceremony, a female classmate confessed to you. At that time, you rejected her because you were gay?" the host asked.

Jiang Yijie was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile, raised the microphone and said:

"It was too cold at the time, and I just wanted to go home quickly, so I made up this reason. Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for that girl, and I apologize for my disrespect."

The audience burst into laughter. If it were online, the barrage would have filled the screen.

Anson Deer was not very interested. He yawned, held his chin, and murmured:

"It's almost time to go to sleep. Can you hurry up and tell us about Lorenzo's scandal?"

"Next is Mr. Lorenzo. According to a reporter on the Internet, he said: At that time, he and his companions wanted to interview you, but you got angry at his companions, and even released a skill almost furiously, killing his companions.

He flew more than twenty meters, directly killing his companion and crushing that person into a bloody mist!" The host read the ridiculous script and couldn't help laughing:

"Moreover, this reporter said that at that time, your eyes turned scarlet like a werewolf! Moreover, he later said that the law enforcement team had erased the existence of his companions and destroyed all incriminating evidence.

A few days ago, this reporter filed a lawsuit against the court, muttering: "The Pope is definitely not righteous" and "Lorenzo is a monster." As a result, the court suspected that there was something wrong with the prosecutor's mental state.

, and dropped his lawsuit.”

When the host said this, the audience burst into laughter.

Everyone feels that this rumor is too false. Even if you want to fabricate it to smear Lorenzo, you won't make up such strange things that even elementary school students will doubt, right?

It turned out that the person who made up this rumor was a mental patient, so that was fine.

"Oh, my God, this is so magical. It's a bit like the fantasy novel written by my child in kindergarten. He also said that he would write a novel series comparable to "The Lord of the Rings" in the future!"

After the host said this, there was another burst of laughter, and every audience member's face was filled with happiness.

Then, he looked at Lorenzo and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Lorenzo, how do you plan to respond to this negative news that has been widely circulated on the Internet recently?"

Lorenzo smiled at first, as if it was no big deal, then sighed and gently held his forehead, looking a little embarrassed.

Finally, he slowly picked up the phone and answered:

"There is a saying in China that a big tree attracts the wind. Regarding such rumors, I can only say that they are common and will not reply too much. Finally, I wish everyone a good dream."

When Lorenzo said this, he showed a kind smile to the camera. His delicate facial features, which were as delicate as those of a god, made him look even more handsome in the television camera lens that was so detailed that even his pores could be seen.

At the same time, happier and more unrestrained laughter echoed in the audience.

At this moment, the ratings of this program reached an unprecedented high, setting a peak record for the television station.

There was only Anson Deer in front of the TV, staring blankly at Lorenzo's smiling face.

A wave of aversion to coldness overflowed from my heart, gradually creeping into every pore of my body, like thousands of tiny bugs squirming back and forth in my stomach, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

He didn't come back to his senses until the end of the show, when Lorenzo, Jiang Yijie, and Wang Youjin bowed to the audience and said goodbye.

Turn off the TV and the room returns to dead silence.

Ansonlu couldn't help but shudder as he recalled what the host had just described and what happened in the Disney copy.

After a long time, he opened the chat panel and sent a message to Qi Yuanlu.

Thank you everyone for subscribing.
