Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 160 It’s here, so we have to entertain it well

On February 1, near dusk, the Pacific Ocean north of the equator.

A black steam train set off from an unknown island. With the roar of the engine, the train passed through the border of the island and drove straight into the track built above the sea.

Under the sun's rays, the sea surface is sparkling, glowing with dots of green and golden halo, like a road made of colorful silks. The train rushes past, regardless of the surrounding scenery.

Soon, five figures gradually appeared inside Car No. 9 of the train.

Ansenlu was the first to enter the dungeon, followed closely by Yuri, Urushihara Ritsu, Uesugi Asuka and Chu Qimo.

At this moment, all the windows of the carriage were open, the Pacific sea breeze was blowing in my face, and I could smell the cool breath of the tide, but the temperature of the carriage was very comfortable, as if the heater was on.

"Oh, it's really not a copy of the underworld." Asuka Uesugi looked around and said with satisfaction.

If Anson Deer chooses a copy similar to "Dark Disneyland 2" at this time, maybe Asuka will really be able to turn into a red dragon and spray him to death with a breath of fire.

"Actually, I can't find a more terrifying copy." Ansonlu told the truth.

"roll."

"The sea train is really an overly magical setting." Qi Yuanlu moved his dark eyes and looked out the window.

This old track stands above the sea, seemingly endless, spreading to the horizon at the end of the line of sight. The wheels of the train cut through the waves and set off white waves.

"It seems that I have to spend some time at sea next." Chu Qimo took off the sword bag on his shoulder.

"Yes, I don't know how long it will take, but the destination of the copy is Hawaii Island."

As Ansonlu spoke, he approached the window and leaned out, his hair messy by the sea breeze.

The sea and sky are the same color, the sea is like a bright mirror, reflecting the green sky, the clouds are flowing leisurely on the emerald sea, and the white canvas flag on the top of the train is dancing in the wind.

If the train hadn't been traveling in the sea, Anson's deer might not be able to tell which side was the sea and which was the sky.

The strange calls of marine creatures overlap together, as if they are playing a light and long symphony. Although it is pleasant to the ears, you can also feel the infinite depth of the sea and the terror of knowing your own insignificance.

However, the cool sea breeze calmed this uneasiness.

The so-called sounds of nature are nothing more than that, but the roar of some giant thing coming from the deep sea from time to time breaks the tranquility and comfort of this land of gods.

Asuka Uesugi was leaning against the car window, and as soon as she poked her head out, she heard this unexpected loud noise, her slender shoulders trembled slightly, and her whole back trembled.

Ansonlu's reaction was very calm, and he did not forget to cast a contemptuous look at her.

"Yeah, I think so." He said, "No matter how scary the copy is, someone can play it into a horror game, just like some people can be so scared that they can break the screen when playing the biochemical mode of CSGO."

"Shut up." Asuka gave him a cold look.

"As you command." Ansonlu was cowarded quickly.

Time passed quickly. The time he entered the dungeon was obviously 12 noon, but after arriving at the dungeon, the sky quickly became dark and the sun gradually sank below the sea level.

Ansonlu raised his eyebrows: "The speed of time passing in this copy seems to be very fast?"

Qi Yuanlu glanced at his phone, confirmed the current time, and said slowly:

"No, Mr. Lu, time passes at the same speed as the outside world. It's just that during the process of loading the copy, our consciousness was in a state of nothingness for four hours - so the time now is already five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, so that's it." Ansonlu suddenly realized.

He said, why did the time jump directly from noon to dusk just after entering this dungeon? No matter how fast the time passes in the dungeon, it is impossible to move forward at this double speed, right?

It seems that there is only one possibility, they stayed in the process of reading the copy for a full five hours.

Speaking of which...is it possible to ski on Hawaii Island? It should be possible, right?

Anson Lu thought of this, turned his head and looked at the Icelandic girl who was leaning against the window.

At this moment, the train was speeding above the boundless sea. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window and fell on Yuri's face. The roar of the engine filled his ears.

The sea breeze blows, and the girl's light white hair floats in the wind, as if dyed golden by the sun in the sky.

"The sea is so beautiful."

Yuri said softly.

Her clear eyes reflected the vast sea. Her pupils had never been so bright and clear, just like the eyes a teenage girl should have.

Ansenlu watched her profile quietly without disturbing her.

After all, this may be her first time at sea - after the age of nine and before the age of seventeen, the only space this Icelandic girl could move around every day was the ward provided by the government and the stage built by capital.

When she was flipping through books in that ward every day, she must have thought about what the sea looked like.

Watching the fireworks with them in Hokkaido, watching the sea city carrying the ghost general's body gradually sinking into the sea, has she ever thought about what it is like in the middle of the sea? She really wants to see it with her own eyes.

.

Soon, the system prompt sounded in the ears of the five people, interrupting Ansonlu's thoughts.

[It has been detected that five flight attendants have entered the No. 9 carriage of the "Rescue" train and are about to start the first part of the dungeon: the Dead Sea. ]

[Segment goal: protect the train and reach Hawaii Island safely; session end time: three days.]

"The first step will take three days." Ansonlu shrugged and said helplessly: "Depending on the situation, this copy will take at least five or six days to complete."

"Did you reach Hawaii Island safely?" Ritsu Urushihara laughed and said calmly:

"In other words, what dangers will we encounter in the Pacific Ocean in the next three days? Moreover, we not only have to ensure our own safety, but also protect the train from being damaged."

Chu Qimo listened to the roar of beasts from the deep sea and said expressionlessly:

"Sounds like a lot of difficulty."

"Of course you have to choose one that is not easy, otherwise it will be in vain." Qi Yuanlu smiled.

"That's right." Chu Qimo said, "If we choose some dungeons with fewer resources, then sooner or later we will be overtaken by the law enforcement team."

"After all, the law enforcement team is backed by the government and enjoys a lot of resources." Qi Yuanlu said, "In other words, if the Evolution Coin Mall didn't have items that increase experience points, they would definitely be able to level up faster than us."

Currently, there are only two sequences that have been confirmed to rely heavily on evolution coins to increase their combat power - Cyber ​​Strike and The Old Ones.

However, if the little cyber giant wants to develop new sequence skills, it needs "technology points" - technology points must be raised to a certain level to obtain, and have nothing to do with evolution coins.

However, there are many things that Cosimo can do with evolution coins, such as strengthening the life value, durability, defense data of the prosthetic body, etc...

Moreover, there is almost no upper limit - that is to say, as long as he invests evolution coins, he can become infinitely stronger.

Since he has official support, obtaining evolution coins is an extremely easy thing for him.

However, given Cosimo's character, he would not like the official taking evolution coins from other players and handing them to him.

After all, other players absolutely need evolution coins to improve their combat power, which will directly determine their own life and death and subsequent development space.

If the state government blatantly takes away evolutionary coins from ordinary players and transfers them to serial players, it will undoubtedly directly deprive these ordinary players of their right to survive.

This is contrary to Cosimo's values ​​- precisely because of all kinds of self-restraint, Cosimo clearly has a career sequence with high potential, but Cosimo still stretched his hips to look like this.

But if one day he suddenly figures it out and is willing to accept the evolution coin resources provided by the official, then it is not surprising that this little kid's strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, even surpassing Lorenzo.

Regarding similar issues, there are a lot of debates on the Internet: some netizens believe that resources should be pooled into the hands of the top players.

After all, evolution coins are not very useful in the hands of low-level players - if you upgrade a person with a combat power of 1 to a combat power of 200, he may still be cannon fodder. It is not as useful as raising a person with a combat power of 1,000 to 1,100.

Therefore, many netizens believe that if the former chess players can be brought into the law enforcement team and given more evolution coin resources, the world's number one player will be able to take it to the next level.

This is also the confusion that most people have about Anson Deer not joining the law enforcement team?

Obviously as long as you join the law enforcement team, you can enjoy official resources from all over the world, but Ansonlu chose to go it alone and even opened his own union.

But equally, while there are supporters, many people oppose this approach, saying that it completely violates humanitarianism. How can we deprive bottom players of their right to survive and take away resources from their hands?

Despite this, the country has not officially banned this practice, but they will not do it themselves, but will quietly wait for the weak players to take the initiative to hand over the evolution coins.

If some players cannot bear the heavy pressure and choose to give up the struggle, then these players can hand over the evolution coins to the hands of the Evolution Foundation, increasing the possibility of the world being saved.

In addition, although it sounds ridiculous, many impoverished players will choose to use "evolution coins" to pay for various living expenses during the holidays - food, housing, shopping, etc.

This kind of evolutionary coins handed over to the hands of national enterprises will eventually be paid to the state uniformly regardless of any channel, and the mandatory obligations are similar to tax obligations.

However, the state will also use a corresponding amount of RMB as compensation. For those citizens who have not participated in the evolution game, since they cannot use the evolution coins, they might as well hand over the evolution coins they received from the players.

Anyway, in the sequence information currently disclosed by the Evolution Foundation, for most career sequences, the height that can be reached with evolution coins is limited - for example, items in the mall can not be purchased again after being purchased once, and there is a limit to some extent.

For ordinary career sequences, they need more levels than evolution coins - for them, as long as they push dungeons step by step, there will never be a shortage of evolution coins, which are more than enough to purchase limited series products in the mall.

However, "Old Player" and "Cyber ​​Assault" are two extreme outliers. As long as you have enough evolution coins, the heights these two sequences can reach are unimaginable.

Because of this, people are puzzled by Cosimo and Anson Deer. Any one of them can definitely grow into a monster as long as they rely on the official backing and use the resources of the law enforcement team.

However, Anson Deer did not join the official team; and Cosimo was completely unwilling to accept the evolution coin resources obtained from low-level players, so the official team could not force him.

In addition, there are also sequences with a special mechanism - they require neither evolution coins nor levels, but another specific object.

For example: Pope of Mad Bells, Devouring Hand.

Lorenzo absorbs emotions from humans or monsters to derive sequence skills; Yuriu derives sequence skills by killing and devouring monsters, and can even briefly steal the skills of other sequence players.

Getting back to the topic, the five people from Hell Beacon conducted some exploration on the train and got some basic information - this "rescue train" has a total of 20 carriages, and each carriage is equipped with a staff (NPC)

.

Among them, Car No. 9 is the ‘spawn point’ of this dungeon and is also a place for the crew to rest.

As for the other carriages, they are all kinds of strange, which can be described as "a hundred flowers bloom": there is a food carriage and a theater carriage in the front; there is a gambling carriage, an aquarium carriage, and a library carriage in the back;

Among them, the most outrageous ones are the arcade cars, aquarium cars, garden cars and other magical existences.

It was already dusk when the five of them entered the dungeon. After visiting all the carriages on the train, they returned to carriage No. 9. It was already seven o'clock in the evening and it was getting dark.

The night is like a curtain, covering the vast Pacific Ocean, dyeing the green sea tide into jet black. At the same time, like dominoes being knocked down, each car of the train gradually becomes brighter.

"Let me guess, someone will sneak into the gambling car at night." Anson Deer looked at Crow, spread his hands and said.

"No, Mr. Lu, although I am very interested in what level the NPCs there can reach, if nothing goes wrong, danger will soon come." Qi Yuanlu raised the corners of his lips.

Chu Qimo looked out the window, the train was still running on the endless track, "Yes, from just now, the sound of beast roars has become more obvious, coming from the bottom of the sea."

Under the moonlight at night, the brightly lit train rumbled toward the other side of the horizon. The sea was rising and falling, and the waves were becoming more violent, as if there were violent beasts lurking beneath this deep gray ocean.

They are fierce and covet this ungrateful train.

Asuka Uesugi just came out of the aquarium car. She crossed her elbows and looked at the three people with solemn faces: "So, what are we going to do? This mission is to let us take a vacation on the train?"

At this moment, Yuri opened his eyes and reminded in an emotionless voice:

"Coming."

"Bang!!!"

The next moment, the sea surface directly to the right of the track suddenly burst open, and black waves swept in overwhelmingly. The deafening sound seemed to be about to drown the entire world.

Under the moonlight, a giant beast of astonishing size slowly emerged, roaring at the brightly lit train. It was a huge crimson whale, more than thirty feet long.

[Monster Name: Red Whale]

[Monster level: Lv.22]

[Monster killing rewards: a large amount of evolution coins, a large amount of materials, unknown rewards. 】

"It's here." Anson Deer raised his brows and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "Then we have to entertain it well."

Thank you very much for your monthly votes!

Corrected a typo. The strength value of the captain of the dragon boat was 60, not 70. Only now did I realize that the mistake was so outrageous.
