Global Games: Old Chess Players

Late at night, Sapporo City, Tanukikoji Commercial Street.

After the first round of testing the boss, Qi Yuanlu made two copies of the camera footage and sent them to Adel and Yu Mingdao, who were responsible for sharing the information with all players.

Having done what they had to do, Ansen Lu and Urushihara Ritsu came to Tanukikoji Commercial Street.

Ansenlu ruthlessly picked up his crow feathers. The opening fees of the restaurant, clothing store and hotel were all paid by Qi Yuanliu, and Qi Yuanliu was also happy to pay the insignificant 15 evolution coins for Ansenlu.

Qi Yuanliu chose a black suit in the clothing store, while Anson Lu chose a gray hooded suit.

Since you have used evolution coins to open the permissions, the clothes there are free of charge, and you can wear them even after the dungeon ends.

Ansonlu is really not suitable for wearing a suit; but Qi Yuanlu looks quite stylish in it, and with glasses, it doesn't feel out of place for him to be a lawyer, doctor or other profession.

A gentle gambling dog with a peaceful personality, and also a magic stick.

This kind of contrast makes it really hard for people not to want to punch him in the face.

.....

.....

It's late at night, a room in the Hengwa Hotel.

This room has exactly two beds, one for each person.

After Ansonlu took a shower, he walked out of the bathroom with a wet towel draped over his shoulders. The career panel was still open in front of him.

Qi Yuanlu sat on the bed, leaning against the bed, his dark eyes calmly staring at the video of the 'Sea City'.

He said, "Lord Lu, judging from the damage done, the ghost general's health bar is approximately as long as the combined length of 70 ghost warriors."

"To be precise, it's 72." Anson Deer stared at the career panel and said casually, "From the time I hit it with a cannon truck, I measured the approximate length of its total health bar."

"As expected of you, Mr. Lu, this means that it is not invincible." Ritsu Urushihara paused and said, "But if we want to defeat it without any casualties..."

"It's very whimsical, but in theory it can be done." Anson Lu wiped his hair with a towel and lowered his brown eyes, "It's just a theory. I said it before, they won't die if they are calm enough. That's because they execute it by themselves. If you die if you don’t have enough strength, who can you blame?”

"really......"

"What's wrong?"

"You are as I understand you to be, friendly on the surface but indifferent on the inside."

"Here we go again..." Ansonlu said nonchalantly, "From the time I met you until now, your favorite thing to do is to keep labeling your friends."

"I'm just curious, do you really know yourself?" Qi Yuanlu said lightly, "If you don't know yourself well enough and you are surrounded by mediocre people, then I think I can play a certain role in your self-understanding. help.”

"I told you, I'm just a bad person. I have no special skills except playing chess."

"If this is what you mean, then..."

Ansenlu interrupted Qi Yuanlu and said impatiently:

"Compared with this, let us analyze you. What kind of person are you? How old were you when you entered the casino?"

"When I was thirteen years old." Qi Yuanlu answered calmly.

"Oh, you got addicted to gambling when you were a little kid." Ansonlu was surprised, "So, why did you enter the casino? You started working to support impoverished artists at the age of 13?"

"At that time, a painter died in front of me." Qi Yuanlu said unhurriedly, "He was British. I still don't know his name. When I opened his room, his body was already putrid.

, there is still an unfinished painting on the easel, that is, a crow perched on the church dome."

"No, how do you know him?"

"The slums, that's where I was born. I often go back and take a look." Qi Yuanlu raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly:

"I met him there. You know, Mr. Lu, he was in a hellish environment, but as long as he picked up the brush and faced the drawing board, his eyes were still so persistent and resolute, as if they were emitting light, like

It’s like God, which makes people look forward to it.”

Ansonlu raised his eyebrows and said, "Wait, you were born in a slum?"

"Yes, there are many slums in Japan..." Ritsu Urushihara said calmly, "When I was still young, I seized the only opportunity in this life to show a wealthy man passing by that I was better than my peers.

Talent, intelligence, aesthetics, he adopted me."

"The second grade of middle school can also be called aesthetics, right? You really have it..." Ansenlu said helplessly, "Then why do you have to gamble? Logically speaking, with your ability, you can achieve success by living an honest life.

A very high achievement, right?”

"In the beginning, I just wanted to help the painter spend his embarrassing time. I firmly believe that with his talent, he will eventually be seen by the world..." Qi Yuanlu said lightly:

"But this world is so cruel. When I got the first money and went to find him in the slums, he was already dead, completely dead, and the body smelled disgusting, but...his hands

I still hold the paintbrush tightly."

An Senlu was silent for a long time. He glanced at Qi Yuanlu's side face with his peripheral vision. This was the first time he saw such a trace of... indescribable sadness in the eyes of this magician.

"You like crow very much, isn't it because of the painting he left?"

"Objectively speaking, this is the case." Qi Yuanlu picked up a picture album, "Lu Jun, I firmly believe that talented people should be seen by the world. They should stand out instead of dying in a narrow and dark corner.

."

"So, why are you so persistent with me..." Anson Deer asked with numbness, "In other words, what talents do you see in me?"

"If I had put it a week ago, I would have told you that this is a talent that does not belong to this era." Urushihara Ritsu said meaningfully:

"But now, the world has ushered in this era, and your presence is just right, Mr. Lu."

"The Riddler is almost there." Anson Deer shrugged, "Besides playing chess, I don't know what else I can do?"

"No, your potential is far beyond your imagination." Qi Yuanlu flipped through the album and said quietly, "It's just that you can't clearly realize this. Your experience has restricted you..."

"Forget it, I will really go crazy if I talk to you too much." Anson Deer ended the conversation. He was silent for a moment and then asked:

"So, what exactly are we going to call our union?"

"What?"

"The trade union doesn't really want to be called 'Love each other and we are a family', right?"

Qi Yuanliu closed the album and looked away at Ansenlu, "I thought you really wanted to name it that way."

"Of course, if you really want to call me that, you don't have a problem with it..." Anson put his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully:

"Well, actually the first name you thought of was pretty good, Hell's Lighthouse, although it still hit the mark twice."

"That's it." Urushihara Ritsu said with great interest, "This world is about to become a purgatory, Mr. Lu, and we will shine in hell, so we are a lighthouse..."

"Okay, great." Ansonlu looked uninterested and nodded expressionlessly:

"By the way, can I use your materials?"

"Materials? How do you plan to use them?"

"Upgrade the chess type." Anson Lu turned over the career panel, held his chin and said:

"The materials I have on hand now are 77 copies each of 'Corrupted Shard Blade' and 'Corrupted Armor'. To upgrade the chess pieces on hand, I need a total of 100 common-level materials...

So, I may have to use the materials that you and the Icelandic girl put in my place before, but she didn’t reply to my message, so I’ll borrow them from you first?”
