Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 159: Choose a dungeon that can ski and is not too scary!

[Anson Deer: Crow, can you please answer the phone? 】

【Urushihara: Of course.】

At the same time Ansenlu saw this message, a phone call came, and the caller was Qi Yuanlu.

"Crow, have you watched the show?" He answered the phone.

"Lu Jun, are you referring to the "Serial Interview" program?" Qi Yuanlu asked.

"Yes, what the reporter described seems to be Lorenzo's performance after using the 'negative emotion' skill." Anson Deer said, "To be honest, I was really surprised."

"You want to tell me whether this is true or false, right?"

"What if?"

"It's true. Lorenzo accidentally killed a reporter. The reporter was named Katsina. There was another witness present at the time." Urushihara said slowly:

"However, the law enforcement team used a series of means to minimize the impact of this incident and restore Lorenzo's reputation."

"Okay." Ansonlu sighed, "That's true, there is no other possibility."

It is impossible for the law enforcement team not to do some public relations processing. Even if the method is more extreme, it would not be surprising to directly eliminate the witness. But the method they are using now is also perfect, using a highly rated program to joke

This way, the weight of the rumor was reduced, so that the eyewitness was labeled as a "delusional person".

After a pause, Anson asked: "Crow, how long do you think Lorenzo can maintain his mental state at this rate?"

"I don't know, maybe one day he will suddenly go crazy." On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of boiling water being poured into a cup. "It's interesting. Pope Madness relies on absorbing human emotions to gain strength, but his personality will be affected by these emotions.

Mr. Lu, maybe your presence made Lorenzo feel the pressure, so he used another kind of power more frequently."

"Ah, can you blame me?" Ansonlu tilted his head.

"As a representative of the law enforcement team and a person who bears the attention of people all over the world, Lorenzo has a much greater responsibility than you, but your strength is stronger than him. This is the pressure you bring to him." Urushihara.

Lu said calmly:

"He is also a proud person, so he is unwilling to lose to you. On the other hand, he is limited by the 'risk of losing control' and is unwilling to use 'negative emotional skills' in public."

"Okay, that's right." Ansonlu suddenly changed the subject: "Are you making coffee again?"

"Yes."

"Have a drink in the morning, noon and evening, right? I'm really not afraid of caffeine poisoning."

"No, I started drinking coffee when I was twelve years old."

Anson Deer was silent for a while and said calmly: "Anyway, if one day Lorenzo is really twisted beyond control, then we have to find a way to kill him."

"Yes, his sequence has such drawbacks. While gaining power, there will also be corresponding risks. This is normal."

"Speaking of which, what was the weakness of the old chess player sequence?" Ansenlu said, "After I level up, the cooldown time of the chess field is no longer a limitation for me."

"Perhaps," Urushihara Ryu paused and said two words in an understatement: "lonely."

"Please, I'm not alone."

"Lu Jun, that is the result of your time travel."

"The principal is not me. Don't confuse me with him. He is lonely, but I am not lonely."

"That's right." Qi Yuanlu smiled.

"By the way, Crow, there is actually something I have always wanted to say to you."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lu?"

"It's nice to have you here."

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Although you deserve a beating, your usual nagging is very annoying. This is a fact recognized by everyone. I'm not the only one who thinks so." Ansonlu scratched his cheek and said lightly:

"But you are my first friend besides the principal, and you are very reliable. With you as a dog-headed strategist, you have saved me a lot of trouble."

"Haha... I'm honored to hear you say that."

"Go to bed, see you tomorrow."

A night of silence.

A lot of things happened in the next two days.

The representative of the Chinese national team, Jiang Yijie, came to visit again and again. An Senlu invited him to drink tea and talked in detail about the principal.

Since Chinese officials were very concerned about this matter, Jiang Yijie would visit almost every day, and every time he would bring Mo Xiaoyuan, the kid with the serial name "Soul-Burning Spear".

Due to An Senlu's strong request, the official side will not disclose the principal's information to the public.

If it is made public, most of the disadvantages will be caused, and the benefits can almost be ignored.

Two days will tell whether it is fast or slow.

Time quietly came to February 1, 2026, the time when the fifth round of dungeons began. On this morning, except for Yuliu, five people from the union gathered in the Shangshi dormitory.

"Our great Deer President." Asuka Uesugi hugged her shoulders and said in a "kind" tone: "I very much hope that you can choose a better copy."

"Haha, of course." Ansonlu took a sip of water and said happily: "Tell me, do you want the 'Old Ghost in the Mountains' or a copy of 'The Grudge' this time?"

"Listen, if you really choose this kind of dungeon, I will definitely kill you." Asuka Uesugi glared at him.

"President, aren't you talking about the two movies we watched last night?" Chu Qimo asked.

Ansenlu teased: "Yes, it's very interesting, especially this classmate Asuka. Halfway through, she said she was going to the bathroom, but she didn't come back all night."

"Ha, what does that have to do with you?" Asuka asked angrily.

"Last time I went to Tokyo to watch "Avatar", Crow Crow and I went to the toilet, and someone kept urging us." Ansonlu spread his hands, "It made me even doubt that you wanted to go to the toilet with me."

"Get out! Who wants to go to the bathroom with you?!" Xiao Longnu's face turned red.

Anson Deer ignored her and looked at Crow: "So. What do you say, Crow?"

"Lu Jun, the highest priority is the cooperative challenge dungeon, followed by the 'team survival' dungeon, and the 'triple structure dungeon'. As far as I know, these three dungeons have the highest rewards." After finishing speaking, Qi Yuanlu drank.

Had a sip of coffee.

"I understand, then I'll choose as you said." Ansen Lu yawned, "As expected of our dog-headed military advisor, it's really easy."

[The fifth round of dungeons will start in thirty seconds. Players, please be prepared. Players who are sleeping will be forcibly awakened by the game system. 】

The system prompt tone fell, and the Icelandic girl who had been reading quietly suddenly said: "Best."

"What?" Ansenlu looked at Yuri who was hesitant to speak.

Yuri turned the pages of the book and added in an emotionless voice: "The best is a copy that can be used for skiing."

How much do you like skiing?

Ansonlu smiled: "Okay, then I'll try to find some dungeons that are located in big cities, so that the probability of having a ski resort is higher."

"good."

Yuri nodded, lowered her head and continued reading without saying anything else. The hanging snow-white hair covered her eyes.

"you"

Asuka Uesugi puffed out her cheeks slightly, looking angry, as if she was angry at Ansonka's different treatment.

"Don't worry, I won't choose the scarier copy." Ansonlu said to her.

The next second, the vision of the five people went dark, and their figures disappeared from the spot.

[Enter the copy selection time.]

[Since you obtained more than three link MVPs in the last round of dungeons, you will have one more dungeon to choose from than ordinary players in this round of dungeons. 】

Ansonlu opened his eyes again and was already in that dark space.

Three copy panels appeared before his eyes, with dense data unfolding.

"Let me see, first it needs to be less scary, and then it needs to be able to ski." Ansonlu said with a headache, "Please, this is so easy to find, there are only three copies."

No matter what, he looked at the first copy panel.

【Copy 1】

[Copy Name: Thar Desert - Giant Beast Slaughterhouse]

[Copy Type: Survival Confrontation Copy]

[Dungeon location: India, Thar Desert]

[Limited number of people in the copy: 3,000 people]

[Introduction to the copy: The Thar Desert is full of dangers. The ferocious beasts lurking under the desert are waiting for opportunities. They crave human flesh and blood. Those who survive to the end will be protected by the God of the Desert. 】

[Dungeon Difficulty: 2 Stars]

[Copy time limit: 7 days]

[Suitable player level: level 15-22]

[The cost of copy failure: the last 500 players die; the last 1,000 players lose their player qualifications.]

[Note: There are invincible evil beasts living on the outskirts of the Thar Desert. Never try to challenge them, and never try to leave this desert.]

[In your friend list, there are currently 0 friends who have selected this dungeon. This dungeon does not allow invitations to union members. Players must enter the dungeon alone. 】

"Pass." Ansonlu looked directly at another panel, "Someone will probably choose this copy."

He needs a dungeon that can be used as a team. The other four members of Hell Beacon are still waiting for him to choose a dungeon. For unions with less than 10 people, only the president has the privilege to invite members. In other words, Urushihara Ritsu and the others cannot invite them.

human.

The important task of selecting a dungeon was placed on the shoulders of Ansonlu. He had to choose a dungeon that convinced everyone.

【Copy 2】

[Copy Name: Bambule’s Judgment Plan]

[Copy type: Team survival copy]

[Copy location: Huaxia, Huanjing]

[Limited number of people in the dungeon: 500 people (divided into 50 teams of 10 people, the team that survives to the end wins)]

[Introduction to the copy: The "Banbule Civilization" from extraterrestrials has invaded the earth and occupied China's Huanjing. The Banbule people are good at controlling environmental factors, ranging from natural disasters to traffic accidents. They will use various secret methods

Come to kill the humans in the city, but never reveal your true identity.

To the Bambuli people, human life and death are nothing more than after-dinner entertainment.

They will sit in front of the TV, watching from a high position as the humans in the city linger on, and reward the humans who survive to the end, just like giving dog food to captive dogs.]

[Dungeon difficulty: two and a half stars]

[Copy time limit: 7 days]

[Suitable player level: level 17-level 23]

[Cost of failed copy: All players of the first 5 teams to be eliminated will die; all players of the first 10 teams to be eliminated will be deprived of their player qualifications.]

[Note: Do not try to leave the city by any means, as it will directly anger the Bambul people and bring disaster to your team.]

[In your friend list, there is currently 1 friend who has selected this copy—Xiong Haodong]

"It's you again, my Brother Dong." Ansenlu covered his face and sighed softly, "Why do I always see this name under such strange copies?"

The principal's previous arrangement is still in effect. Chu Qimo is in charge of the "physical training course" of the evolutionary game at Shangshi High School, so he knows all about the students with "player" qualifications.

An Senlu asked him last time, what is Xiong Haodong's level?

Teacher Chu answered decisively: "Level 11."

That's right, the fifth round of dungeons has officially begun. At this point in time, Xiong Haodong's level is actually only level 11, which is a full six levels below the average level of players around the world, which is shocking.

However, Ansenlu can understand Xiong Haodong's difficulties.

The keynote of the evolutionary game is there - the strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak.

Xiong Haodong's start was a disaster, so he received very few rewards and experience points, could not increase his combat power, and could not reach the standard level. He would fall into the same predicament again in the next round of dungeons.

This is an endless cycle. Those players who failed to establish an advantage in the first two rounds of copies will lose even more advantage later - compared with those players who established an advantage in the early stage, the gap between them will be

It's getting bigger and bigger like a snowball.

This kind of player enters the third and fourth rounds of dungeons, and basically can only try their luck.

The road left for them ultimately leads to death.

However, the Evolution Foundation does take care of players in this situation.

They provide these disadvantaged players with a relief fund for disadvantaged players, which contains a fairly decent amount of evolution coins.

But that's all. This relief fund is just for show, so as not to intuitively say that they have given up on those weak players, thereby causing unnecessary riots.

"It sounds like this dungeon is a bit like 'The God of Death is Coming'." Ansenlu murmured, "This dungeon is okay, but I don't want to choose it because it's not necessary. I think it will be difficult to get a good night's sleep in seven days."

【Copy 3】

[Copy Name: Sea Train, Sacred Tree and Arena]

[Copy type: triple structural copy]

[Dungeon location: The waters around Hawaii Island, and Hawaii Island]

[Limited number of people in the copy: 5 people]

[Introduction to the copy: The crew of the "Rescue" sea train received a request for help from the residents of Hawaii Island. They heard that a giant tree reaching the sky appeared on Hawaii Island.

Stepping into the Hawaiian Island, the roars of dragons and the ancient roars of the gladiatorial arena filled their ears. The flight attendants felt something was wrong, but they found that they could no longer leave this island.]

[Dungeon Difficulty: 3 Stars]

[Copy time limit: seven days]

[Suitable player level: level 20 - level 24]

[The cost of failure in the copy: five flight attendants were deprived of player qualifications; Hawaii Island fell, and the sacred tree appeared.]

[Note: If no one completes the islander’s task within the scheduled time, the copy will also be considered a failure.]

[In your friend list, there are currently 0 friends who have selected this copy.]

"I'll go, five-person limit, three-star difficulty, three-ring dungeon?" Ansonlu raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Is there a more suitable dungeon than this? Of course not."

[There is an opportunity to organize union members this month (February 2026). Do you want to organize union members? 】

"Organize the union members," Ansen Lu said lightly, "invite players - Urushihara Ritsu, Yuri, Uesugi Asuka, Chu Qimo, to enter the copy: 'Sea Train, Sacred Tree and Arena'."

Tomorrow to the 31st is the time for double monthly tickets. Please give me a wave of monthly tickets to collect 1,000 monthly tickets!

Thank you all for your subscriptions and monthly tickets, and for your rewards, see you tomorrow.
