Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 217 Natasha’s two promotion directions—Queen’s Stone Statue or Assassin’s Hall

At night, Liukan Town, a wooden house.

After returning from Tokyo, Anson took a shower and tried on a khaki trench coat - this was what Yuri had chosen for him, and it was quite similar to the "Sherlock Holmes decoration" in the Sea Train carriage.

He has grown much taller during this time, and his shoulders have become wider, which is enough to support heavy clothes. The most important thing is the change in his temperament, so that when he wears a windbreaker, he will not have the feeling of "a child wearing adult clothes".

On the contrary, it is just right, revealing a cold and elite feeling everywhere.

He had just sat down on the bed when a gray information bubble popped up in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

When I opened it, I saw it was a transaction application.

[The player "Juliu Mena" on your friend list has submitted a transaction request to you. 】

[——Items given by the other party: poorly made wooden boards*999 (low-grade materials), crow’s heads*999 (low-grade materials), rocks everywhere*999 (low-grade materials), etc...]

[——The item requested by the other party: 50,000 evolution coins. 】

"It's really fast, but it only costs 50,000 evolution coins. Xiaomei is so nice. It's really cold outside and hot inside... much better than that black businessman in Crow." Ansenlu accepted the transaction application.

No matter what, low-grade materials are now out of print.

Apart from Yuliu, Ansonlu really didn't know who could do this for him.

If he wanted to find a crow, this ambitious gambler would definitely refuse with words like - "Mr. Lu, it would be too difficult for me to find such low-grade materials as low-grade materials."

[The transaction has been completed. You have lost 50,000 evolution coins and obtained a total of 10,000 different low-grade materials. 】

[Current evolution coin balance: 110,000 evolution coins.]

"Okay, that's enough."

Satisfied, he opened the chess panel and clicked on Natasha's page.

[Name of chess game: Slum Girl—Natasha]

[Chess type quality: inferior]

[The requirements for upgrading the chess type to "normal level": 10,000 inferior-level materials; 50,000 evolution coins.]

[It has been detected that the requirements for upgrading are met. Do you want to consume materials to upgrade this chess type? 】

"Upgrade." Ansonlu did not hesitate. It would be unreasonable not to upgrade, okay? Natasha is an infinitely advanced chess piece, and it is also the main battle chess piece that has been with him for the longest time.

[The 10,000 low-grade materials in the bag have been cleared, and 50,000 evolution coins have been paid. 】

[Current account balance: 60,000 evolution coins.]

[Congratulations, the low-level chess type - "Slum Girl Natasha" has been upgraded to the ordinary level chess type - "Wandering Apprentice Girl Natasha"!!!]

Ansonlu raised his eyebrows.

"Wandering? Apprentice? There doesn't seem to be such a story in the background story of the Queen's stone statue."

He thought about it carefully, and before the king picked her up, Natasha was already extremely powerful in her teens. Perhaps she wandered for a while and sought apprenticeship from someone.

He checked Natasha's dashboard again and saw that it had changed drastically.

[Name of chess type: Wandering Apprentice Girl—Natasha]

[Chess type level: MAX (this chess type has reached the full level)]

[Chess type quality: ordinary level]

[Chess attributes: Strength: 9; Agility: 12; Intelligence: 9]

[Chess skills:

1. Assassin Instinct (Blessed by a "fallen Twilight God", Natasha has a natural assassin ability. Her reactions and skills are far beyond those of her peers. Even assassinating an adult is not a problem)

2. Triangle strangulation (Natasha climbs to the back of the opponent's head and cuts the opponent's neck with her hands and feet)

3. Pan-poisoned dagger (Natasha scratches poison on the dagger to enhance the lethality of the attack)

4. Shadow Weaver Step (Natasha uses slow and rhythmic steps to form a phantom to confuse the opponent's sight)]

[Chess description: Natasha met an old man who called himself "Ninja Master" in the slums. She gave the seriously injured Ninja Master food and drinking water, bandaged his wounds, and saved him from danger.

In return, the ninja master accepted Natasha as his apprentice. He revealed that he had been traveling around the world for decades to investigate a demon named "Qinghong", and he must kill "Qinghong" before he died.

"Rainbow" must be destroyed, otherwise the mission entrusted by the Patriarch cannot be completed.

So, Natasha traveled on the mainland with the ninja master for a period of time, during which she learned many ninja assassination techniques. Even the ninja master had to marvel at her incomparable talent.

But half a year later, until the Ninja Master ran out of life, he still failed to find the demon named "Qinghong". After Natasha buried the Ninja Master in the desert, she briefly returned to the former slum to see her former partners.

How are we doing now?]

Ansenlu nodded, "Oh, that's how the plot continued. After that, she was picked up by the king's stone statue."

He continued to look down.

[This chess type has "unlimited advancement qualifications" and can currently be upgraded to "rare level", and has two upgrade directions. 】

[Upgrade direction one: "Queen of Blue Flame Stone Statue - Natasha", upgrade requirements: 1,000 ordinary-level materials, 50,000 evolution coins, legendary-level material - Qinghong Holy Fire*20.]

[Upgrade direction two: "The Chief Assassin of the Palace - Natasha", upgrade requirements: 1,000 ordinary-level materials, 50,000 evolution coins, legendary-level material - Night Cloak*20.]

"Why does it feel like I'm playing a development game? Are there many advancement directions to choose from..." Ansonlu muttered, "Advancing requires a thousand ordinary-level materials, which is much easier to find than ten thousand inferior-level materials.

Yes, there should be some on the market now, and the price is not high. The important thing is that it is a legendary material."

Natasha who has advanced into the "Queen's Stone Statue Form" and Natasha who has advanced into the "Chief Assassin of the Palace" are completely different concepts.

Anson Deer believes that this choice needs careful consideration.

If it is upgraded to a stone statue of the queen, what kind of story will Natasha have to go through in order to be freed from the curse of "Green Rainbow"?

However, if she could advance to the Queen's Stone Statue, she would be able to regain her original memories. Then she would be the Queen's Stone Statue that he knew, instead of this taciturn girl.

"How do you choose?" Ansenlu sighed, "Hmm... To be honest, I don't want her to advance to the 'Blue Flame Stone Statue'. I feel that it will create a lot of bad memories."

But without this memory, Natasha may no longer be the "Queen's Stone Statue".

His intuition told him that only by evolving Natasha into the "Queen of Blue Flame Stone Statue" form would she be able to awaken her original memory. It would be much easier to talk about the original stone statue of the Queen.

After all, they have been working together for so long.

"There are still a lot of materials needed for leveling up." An Senlu murmured, "Then just ask Jiang Yijie for it."

Anyway, he had already made an appointment to cooperate with the national team, so he didn't blush and opened his friend list directly and sent a message to Jiang Yijie.

"Captain Jiang, have you slept?"

"You haven't slept yet, what's wrong?"

"I want to ask you for some materials."

"Hmm... If it's a red tide grade material, it would be difficult to obtain it even with my authority."

"No, I only want ordinary grade materials and legendary grade materials, and there are no specific requirements. Any kind is fine."

"How much do you need?"

Even when Jiang Yijie was typing, his tone was always so warm.

"A thousand ordinary-level materials and twenty legendary-level materials are not much, right?"

"Haha... It's really a lion's mouth, but it's not difficult. I will send it to you in a while."

"Thanks, Captain Jiang."

"You're welcome. We will be colleagues in a short time. We should help each other."

Is it necessary to emphasize... Ansonlu chuckled and closed the conversation panel.

He asked Jiang Yijie for a thousand ordinary-level materials in order to upgrade Natasha. After all, he had already obtained the material "Qinghong Sacred Fire" in the sequence copy, and the only remaining ordinary-level materials were.

As for the other twenty legendary materials he and Jiang Yijie asked for, it was to collect fifty legendary materials to upgrade the Floating Shark King to the full level.

In just one day, he asked three different people for materials. Ansonlu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this is the benefit of connections.

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of the helpless An Senlu over there.

"How is she..." Ansonlu raised his eyebrows, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and curiously opened the software - Trans-Time and Space Observation.

The software screen appeared quickly, and the directory on the right only refreshed a new video - the duration of this video was very short, only about thirty seconds.

"With only thirty seconds, what kind of video would it be?"

Anson Deer clicked on the video nonchalantly, and the screen began to show the picture.

He was very familiar with the unfolding scene - this was Ancheng in China, the time was dusk, and the setting sun was high in the sky.

Anseong is much larger than Sanseok City, and it seems to be a lot more lively and prosperous, at least on the level of a third-tier city.

The "protagonist" of the video, An Senlu, was wearing a black hoodie and a black hood. She walked slowly through the crowd and stopped in front of a residential building. She walked up the stairs to the fifth floor.

She stopped at the building in her memory, turned the door handle, and found that the door was unlocked.

Just push open the door and walk in.

What caught her eyes were two hanging corpses - their faces had no blood, foam was spitting out of their mouths, their eyeballs were turned up, and there were blood stains on their necks from the ropes.

Ansonlu's hand holding his chin shook and he swallowed a sip of water.

He knew who these two people were - his uncle and aunt. They usually valued their only son, An Hongyan, the most. Now that An Hongyan had died at the hands of An Senlu, they had no reason to continue living.

, so I chose to seek death.

From the beginning, Anson Deer has neither loved nor hated these two people. His uncle and aunt inherited the inheritance from Anson Deer's parents, so raising Anson Deer is their natural responsibility.

With this inheritance, his uncle quit his job and found a job that allowed him to work from home. His aunt nagged him all day long, but he felt it didn't matter in his heart. After all, Ansonlu's parents left enough money.

.

However, they have never taken special care of Anson Deer, either psychologically or physically, since they were young.

Ansenlu spends a lot of time in his room playing chess. He only receives pocket money during the Chinese New Year. He saves for two or three years to buy a game console. However, his cousin is very kind to him and often brings him comics, magazines and snacks.

.

As the only son of his uncle's family, his uncle and aunt put the family's financial support on him - attending all the most advanced cram schools and attending the best schools. Later, they even sent his cousin to a university in the United States, paying annual tuition fees.

A lot of tuition.

As for the Anson deer, they dealt with it as long as they could.

On the surface, my uncle would say: "The public school environment here is poor, Luzi, I will help you find a private school."

In fact, after finding a school for Ansenlu, he breathed a sigh of relief. He told his aunt behind his back how tired he was and how many connections he had used to help him find a school for Adou, who couldn't afford it.

He refuses to work hard and only knows how to play chess all day long, relying on his parents to support us for the rest of his life.

At that time, Anson Deer could hear everything clearly from behind the door.

While my aunt was beating and scolding my uncle, she said that we owed him to his parents. How could he say such a thing? She was secretly happy at the same time. Compared with Ansonlu, their son was so outstanding.

Da'an Hongyan has been regarded as "other people's children" in the eyes of his neighbors since he was a child. Now he has become the "returnee elite" that everyone envies. He will definitely be able to join a good company and make a lot of money in the future.

The Anson deer is useless.

Despite this, seeing the corpses of his uncle and aunt with his own eyes, Anson Lu's eyes still flashed with complicated emotions.

Even if they don't care much about him, they are still people who have eaten at the same dining table for many years.

"This is suicide...how fragile do you have to be."

An Senlu sneered. She took off her hood, put her hands in her pockets, raised her emotionless eyes, and watched the scene expressionlessly.

Her reaction was calm, but Ansonlu could see her shoulders trembling slightly at that time.

After a while, An Senlu walked into the living room, passed by the two corpses, and saw a letter on the table. She reached out and picked up the letter, and the screen suddenly went black.

The video ends here.

Ansonlu stared at his face reflected on the screen and murmured.

"Does the principal's transformation start from here? Or somewhere?"

He shook his head to dispel the unnecessary speculation, turned off the software, and lay down on the bed in a daze for a while.

After a while, Anson Deer sat up and said:

"Natasha, come out."

After the order was given, Natasha, who had already advanced to the normal form, appeared in front of him.

Natasha had grown a lot taller, visibly to the naked eye. She was still wearing cloth, with her left hand holding the wrist of her right hand, her purple pupils dodging Anson Deer, her pupils dim and cold.

"Do you know me?" Anson Deer asked.

"Ansenlu." She remembered what Ansenlu said and did not continue to call him master.

"I mean, other than that, do you recall anything? Like killing ghost samurai with me in Hokkaido or something?"

"Sorry...I don't have such memory."

"Okay, then tell me what happened during the years you and Ninja Master went out." Ansonlu was not disappointed.

"We were looking for a demon named 'Qinghong', but we couldn't find it, but we encountered many wonderful things on the way. I also practiced seriously with my master for a long time."

"That's it." Ansenlu muttered, "That's it, you can go back."

"As commanded."

After saying that, Natasha disappeared.

Sure enough, she must be advanced into a "Blue Flame Stone Statue" before she can recover her original memory? But must she be turned into a "Stone Statue" again? This is really stupid.

"Or, what if this advanced route, the stone statue route has lower potential than the 'Assassin's Hall' advanced route next door?" Ansonlu stared at the ceiling and thought.

After a while, he shrugged his shoulders, breathed a long sigh of relief, and fell flat on the bed. The back of his head sank into the soft plush quilt, and his tired eyelids closed.

"Well, no matter what... let's get some sleep first."
