Global Games: Old Chess Players

Ansonlu turned off the TV and took back the chess pieces. The world fell into silence, but the 'Friends List' in the upper right corner of his sight popped up with '99' bubbles like crazy.

After being mentally prepared, the boy opened his friends list.

Throughout the whole day today, he basically blocked the notification sounds for his friends' messages.

Because the players I met in the dungeon, after seeing the "violent news" in New York, without exception, sent a lot of messages to Anson Deer, giving symbolic greetings.

Other players have some sense of control, but those two Japanese girls are really terrifying - Sakurako Miyamoto and Natsuki Fujimoto.

After seeing the news about the Empire State Building, these two people couldn't wait to max out Anson Deer's information panel.

His eyes glanced at the two 99 chat boxes, and his head began to hurt. Fortunately, he wisely blocked the notification sound, otherwise he would really be annoyed and his eardrums would burst.

"There is a crow in front, and there are these two sisters behind..."

Ansonlu held his chin and sighed softly, "You neon people, can you please stop for a moment? You must stare at me and persecute me, right?"

He opened the message panel, and messages popped up one after another.

[Sakura Miyamoto: Mr. Ansoshika, I saw you on Twitter. Your video surpassed the "Video of the Founding of the Law Enforcement Team" and occupied the first place in the trending search on Twitter. It's really amazing! 】

[Miyamoto Sakurako: Not only in Japan, you are also famous in Europe and the United States this time. Remember to give me an autograph in the future! 】

[Natsuki Fujimoto: Senior Ansenka, when will we be able to queue up to the same dungeon? Woohoo, you are so awesome, will you also be included in the ‘Law Enforcement Team’? 】

Are you two done yet?

By the way, what is the law enforcement team...

Ansonlu closed the friend panel and searched the Internet on his mobile phone.

News related to "Law Enforcement Team" ranked second on Weibo, while the first place was the news about "Old Chess Players Save New York", which was ranked second in popularity.

Anson Deer clicked on the second news item.

[The "Law Enforcement Team" is a union jointly established by major powers. The current number of unions is 26. This union has gathered almost the strongest players in the world. The minimum requirement for membership is to be ranked in the global combat power rankings.

Top 50.]

[Especially Lorenzo, who is No. 1 in the global combat power rankings. He shoulders the hope of the whole world and has become the leader of this union. Once a city falls, the law enforcement team will appear and eliminate the disaster. 】

[The "Law Enforcement Team" makes a promise to the entire earth that they will definitely defend the territory of mankind and will not turn any inch of land into a colonial fortress for monsters. ]

"The law enforcement team sounds pretty powerful."

Ansonlu murmured: "That is to say, once a copy fails and the city falls, they will have to run over to help wipe their butts, and it will be difficult to even take a vacation."

The reason why major powerful countries unite their human resources and establish such a trade union is very simple.

In the setting of the game, if the copy fails, the city will fall, then the citizens will disappear, and the land will be occupied by monsters. This is a series of chain reactions.

However, those players who originally lived in the city still have to deal with these messes when they come back. After all, not every player can have a 'travel voucher'.

Therefore, in order to help these players regain their homeland and prevent them from living in purgatory even outside the dungeon, officials from various countries have joined forces to create a special sequence of player unions to help regain important fallen cities.

For example: Chicago and Los Angeles in the United States.

These two brothers in distress had fallen into captivity once before, but they were brought back by the members of the 'Law Enforcement Team'.

Moreover, even if it is a dungeon that has fallen once, as long as a player uses the "travel coupon" to come to the local area during the holiday period and eliminate all monsters and foreign elements.

Then, this city can still be selected as the location for the copy in the future.

The most important thing is that allowing these top players to unite can reduce the probability of their death in the dungeon and increase the victory rate of the world boss crusade in Tokyo half a year later.

To sum up, the official establishment of the "Law Enforcement Team" union to help deal with these matters.

"Several fallen big cities in the United States have been rescued by law enforcement teams. Unfortunately, the citizens have been lost in different spaces. Now only players without "travel coupons" are left in these cities."

Anson Deer scanned the news.

He was still thinking, no wonder no one from the law enforcement team came to help when David Kench went on a rampage in New York.

It turned out that at that time, they were sent to Rochester, England, to save the town from being invaded by monsters - so they had no time to take care of New York. The key was that no one thought that David Kench would become a potential disaster.

After briefly scanning the recent news, Ansonlu searched for the information of the world's number one player.

This player's full name is - "Lorenzo de' Medici".

He is from Italy, and his occupation sequence is called "Pope of Mad Bells". His matching traits are unknown and are not displayed on Baidu information.

"The Bell-Crazy Pope..." Anson Deer said, "The characteristics that match this sequence wouldn't be something like 'fanatic religious belief', right?"

As an official trade union directly affiliated with major powers, the career sequence of the "Law Enforcement Team" is basically completely open to the public.

Moreover, every member of the union is a strong person at the top of the rankings, so they have a certain degree of popularity on Twitter, and you can search for relevant videos wherever you want.

And players like Anson Deer who are among the best and are famous far and wide.

If he hadn't been protected by the principal, a god of unknown origin, he would have been pulled into the "law enforcement team" and forced to serve the people of the world.

"Fortunately, the rankings have not been refreshed, otherwise I should be number one."

Ansonlu said, "Every time all dungeons end, the rankings are only refreshed once. There are still about two days left."

To be honest, he was starting to feel embarrassed.

Nowadays, the law enforcement team still has to rely on this big brother who ranks first in combat power to market its reputation and prestige to the world...

As a result, only two or three days later, the world's number one throne was taken away by Lorenzo. How dramatic it must have been. The hegemonic atmosphere deliberately created by the "Law Enforcement Team" must not be completely lost.

"Forget it, if this happens, there's nothing I can do about it."

Ansen Lu stretched out his well-jointed fingers and rubbed Tianming Point, "It's time to rest, the vacation is still long..."

The young man closed his eyes, covered his forehead with his arms, and slowly fell into sleep.

.....

.....

The third round of copies will start on the morning of January 1, 2026.

This time, Anson's deer's vacation lasted for a week.

During the next three days on the 28th, 29th, and 30th, he basically stayed at Shangshi High School. When he had nothing to do, he played chess with the principal, and went online to read "interesting stories about dungeons" and "career strategies" from players from all over the world.

Because he is a special-sequence player, he will not be punished too much for absenteeism, so he can do it without showing his face, especially since there is a character like Brother Dong in the class, and Ansenlu doesn't want to see this guy anyway.

Crow is still elusive and often disappears. He probably used his personal connections to acquire multiple 'travel coupons' from players, so he was able to travel around the world.

The Icelandic girl is still alone and independent. She often skips classes, but unlike Anson Deer, she occasionally participates in officially required [Evolution Game] related courses.

The swordsman named Chu Qimo, one day after arriving in Shangshi City on the 27th, there has been basically no news. He has not been seen chatting on the union panel. He is probably living a private life.

As for Xiao Longnu, she still hasn’t come to Shangshi City.

On the 28th, Asuka Uesugi sent a message to Ansonlu, saying that the U.S. government and the Japanese government had reached an agreement and decided to let her join the "Law Enforcement Team" union, so that she would not have to worry about which country she should stay in.

.

The implication is: now that she comes to Shangshi, the trouble she will bring will only be more, not less.

Despite this, Ansonlu still said the same thing: Just come here, and leave everything else to me (the principal).

It’s December 31st.

That is the day before the copy starts.

For Anson Deer, a total of three major events happened on this day.

The first thing is: the global rankings have finally been updated, and the trial time to decide whether he needs to 'eat noodles with his nose' has arrived.

The second thing is: the principal left Shangshi City by some unknown means and went to the capital of Japan.

The third thing is: Six important guests came to Shangshi City.
