Global Games: Old Chess Players

December 17, Hokkaido, Sapporo City, a mountain road.

The rising sun shines through the dense branches, forming a beam of light in the forest, and the chirping of birds echoes crisply in the vast white mountain forest.

At this time, there were two figures walking in the forest.

"It's really strange..." Ritsu Urushihara put his hand on his chin, his dark eyes thoughtful, "I'm at a disadvantage for no reason."

"I really haven't lost to anyone in chess." Ansonlu said vividly:

"There was an uncle in the community who was over 50 years old. He had a really hot temper. I felt that if I didn't let him go, he would pick up a stick and beat me. So I quickly gave in."

At this moment, the two of them were walking towards the Sapporo International Ski Resort. Mainly because Yuri didn't reply to the message, they were a little worried that something had happened to the Icelandic girl.

Of course, it is possible that she is still resting, but even if nothing happens, before nightfall, they can also take a short bath in the hot springs at the hot spring tavern near the ski resort.

On the way, Qi Yuanliu suggested to Ansonlu that he use the chat panel to pass the time.

At first, Ansenlu was still thinking about what fun there was in the chat panel. He might as well play the newly reprinted classic RPG game "Destroyed City Story" on his mobile phone.

As a result, after Qi Yuanlu looked through it carefully, he realized that the chat panel of the game system had a bunch of interactive mini-games.

For example: guessing, backgammon, chess, go, etc. These convenient games are all available, covering almost all common folk pastime games in all countries around the world. It is roughly estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of game forms.

On the way, Urushihara Ritsu sent an invitation to "chess" to Ansenlu.

Anson Deer became excited and thought that he had to find an opportunity to beat this big guy as soon as possible, so he started playing chess on the friend panel while running.

"Lord Lu," Qi Yuanlu pondered for a moment and then said, "I lost."

"Hahaha, you're still far behind when it comes to playing chess." An Senlu said directly. He gently patted Qi Yuanlu's shoulder and said in a disdainful tone:

"Practice for another hundred years!"

"Indeed, I was too far behind."

"Come back next time. If you want to play, I will continue to play RPG."

"No, I still know myself." Qi Yuanlu shook his head and said calmly, "But if it's Yuri, she might still have a chance to fight you."

"That Icelandic girl?" Ansonlu turned on his phone and said nonchalantly, "Isn't she interested in this?"

"No, she replied to my message." Qi Yuanlu said, "She said that she spent an hour last night memorizing several chess records, hoping to compete with you."

Anson Deer stepped on a broken branch covered with snow and made a "pop" sound. He looked away from the phone and stared at it and said:

"Wait, isn't it? How many chess records can you memorize in one hour?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Qi Yuanlu had mentioned the three characteristics used by the system when matching Yuri with a special profession.

"I've said it before, she suffers from hyperamnesia. In short, it's..." Ritsu Urushihara paused and said seriously:

"Photographic memory."

"I've memorized the chess records, so she's not as hard to beat as the AI. I've finally seen through your trick. You guys have some back-ups, right? If you're being abused, just hire a substitute to mess with my mentality!"

"I'm just simply curious about where Lu Junzhen's talents in chess games stand." Urushi Yuanlu spread his hands, and his deep eyes were filled with light:

"It would have been very simple to use a computer to test. However, since you said you are not willing to deal with artificial intelligence, then I can only find someone who is close to artificial intelligence to replace you."

Anson Deer resolutely protested, "Get out of here, even those that are similar to artificial intelligence can't do it. I have AI phobia, and I'm especially afraid of the uncanny valley effect. Do you understand the uncanny valley effect?"

"There is no need to think like this. No matter how mechanical her behavior is, she is still a human being, Lu-kun." Qi Yuanliu said, "And unlike me, I received a lot of chess training in middle school, but this is her first exposure to the international game.

Chess."

"Not even the first time!"

"This Icelander is very competitive. I think since she has made preparations, she will not let you go easily."

"Please, isn't she emotionally lacking? Why is she so competitive?"

"Maybe I'm interested in your talents."

"Are you all a mole? You just want to beat me up in what I'm best at, right?" Ansonlu took a deep breath, spoke firmly, and said word by word:

"Anyway, I will never play chess with her, so don't worry."

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out of the forest shrouded in snow. Even though the air was so cold, Yuri was still wearing a white dress today. Her skin was so sickly white against the color of the clothes.

More obvious.

Yuri stopped walking, closed the friend panel, raised his head, and met Ansenlu's gaze with his cold, emotionless eyes.

"Here comes the Icelandic girl!" Anson Deer's reaction was as if he had seen a ghost.

The snow-white hair of the Icelandic girl was flying in the wind, as if it would melt into the air with the ice and snow at any time. She opened her mouth slightly and said in a cold voice:

"Play chess."

This one is even more of a heavyweight among weirdos... The corners of Anson Lu's eyes twitched slightly.

"Lu Jun, you need to face your own talent." Qi Yuanlu put his hands on Ansonlu's shoulders and said seriously, "Since you don't want to play chess with AI, why not play a game with her?"

Hey, call 110, I'm surrounded by two perverts, come to help quickly, okay? If it's a little later, I'm really going to die in the deep mountains and wild mountains...

"I really can't play chess, you believe me," Ansonlu said with a serious face:

"Actually, my second personality used to play for me. He was a Pharaoh who traveled from ancient Egypt. But now he has collected the 'Three Illusion Gods' cards and unlocked his memory to travel back to Egypt."

"Lu-kun, it's not that I haven't watched the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh!"." Urushihara's smile was a little scary, "Please don't perfunctory me, I'm very serious."

The scene was a bit stiff for a while, with snow still falling and a cold wind howling.

"It seems that there is a discrepancy with what you said..." Yuri hugged his shoulders and tapped his arm gently with his slender fingers, "You said that he wanted to play chess with me, so I came here."

Her eyes, which seemed to be shrouded in mist, stared at Qi Yuanliu with a hint of hostility, as if waiting for his reply.

Qi Yuanlu took a deep breath and said very solemnly:

"No, I can finish communicating with him right away."

"Communicate with your sister!" Ansonlu narrowed his eyes, "Why didn't you communicate with me in advance? I thought you two were working together to trick me, right? Do you want me to lose to a novice in chess?"

"Lu Jun, you have to do it if you don't want to do it today."

"Go away, if you want to play chess, come and play in my chess area, okay?!" Anson Deer shrank his neck from the cold.

He rubbed his shoulders with his hands and stammered, "Brother...Brother's army of stone statues is here. Hurry up and protect them. May your life be long."

"I just want to find out how far your talent in the chess field has reached..." Urushihara Ritsu said quietly, "Because you give me the feeling that a god is watching.

He follows you and guides you every step of the chess game."

"Damn it, you just lost two games of chess to me, what's the big deal?" Anson Deer shivered in the cold wind and was about to cry without tears.

He finally understood how terrifying these weirdos' desire to win was. In the future, Qi Yuanliu would form a union called the 'Hell Lighthouse' to gather weirdos from all over the world in one place.

Then making him the president is not just putting him on the fire!

At that time, all kinds of monsters and monsters will pop up. If their competitiveness is the same as that of Urushihara Ritsu and Yuri, wouldn't they all want to try his abilities as the president?

At this moment, Ansenlu finally understood Qi Yuanlu's sinister intentions.

He slowly raised his head and took a deep breath, "If I win this game, you are not allowed to force me to play chess again in the future."

"No problem at all." Qi Yuanliu said.

"That's a pity..." Yuri paused and said without any emotion in his voice, "What a pity, I can't lose anyway."
