Global Games: Old Chess Players

"It's a chessboard." Ansonlu raised his eyebrows and opened the panel, "This is the first time I got it."

You must know that in the Evolution Coin Store, drawing an extraordinary chessboard costs a full 6,000 evolution coins, which is twice the price of the chess pack. You can imagine how excited he was.

Asuka Uesugi frowned, "Is it time to explore other places?"

"Let's go." Ansonlu said while checking the chess board, "Let's go back to the stateroom to have lunch first. Brother Dong just happened to help us open the restaurant. How can we live up to his wishes?"

"Yeah, that's okay."

The two took the elevator to the upper promenade deck. Outside the railing was the vast sea, with layers of floating ice rising and falling with the tide, like a small boat that had lost its direction.

[Game name: floating fish in the tank]

[Chess type level: Level 1 (the highest potential of this chess type is - Level 2)]

[Chess type quality: Epic level]

"Epic!!!" the evil deer roared.

Asuka Uesugi was so frightened that she trembled slightly. She looked at Anson Deer, narrowed her eyes and asked:

"ill?"

"You've scared me several times before, is it not too much for me to retaliate?"

Ansenlu suppressed his excitement and continued to look down.

[Chess attributes - Strength: 0; Agility: 0; Intelligence: 0]

"Ah, this, this...this...this is a scam, this is..."

Anson Deer stared at these three plain duck eggs, frozen in place like sculptures.

His mood can be said to have fallen directly from heaven to hell - who would believe this in an epic chess game with three duck eggs as its attributes?!

Asuka Uesugi rolled her eyes away, then quickly retracted them.

"My soul has been sucked away by these three duck eggs. There will be no joy or sorrow in this life."

Anson stretched out his fingers and flipped the panel numbly.

[Chess skills:

1. Fish swimming in the tank (floating fish must stay in the fish tank until they grow to the last stage, and the position of the fish tank cannot be adjusted and can only be placed on a fixed grid)

2. High-speed growth (the floating fish in the tank will undergo rapid growth within 20 seconds after being placed out of the tank. When it grows to the last stage, it will become a chess species - floating shark and break out of the tank)

】

"This is too harsh..." Anson put his hand on his chin, his eyes shining, "In other words, it is similar to the dragon egg in the Harry Potter mobile game, which is equivalent to hatching a supermodel monster in 20 seconds.

."

Asuka cast her gaze towards the Atlantic Ocean, where strands of floating ice were floating on the sea surface, being shaken apart or crushed by the huge Titanic.

[Requirements for chess upgrade: 3000 evolution coins, 50 epic materials. 】

[Description of the species: When they are young, pelagic fish cannot withstand the squeeze of air or ocean tides, so they can only survive in fish tanks. However, if pelagic fish can grow to their full state in fish tanks, they will become a major overlord in the ocean world.

.]

"No, could it be that after 20 seconds, it suddenly turned from a tadpole to a big shark? Otherwise, how could it be kept in a fish tank?" Anson Deer was puzzled.

Asuka Uesugi's fingers tapped her shoulder lightly.

The ice floe breaks apart and sinks gently into the deep sea.

[Chess type holding limit: 1 piece]

[Chess type favorability: None]

[Chess group: Binghai chess group (a chess group that is quite extreme in terms of attack and defense, requiring players to have very strong on-the-spot judgment to bring out the true power of the chess group)]

"Okay, here comes another chess set that I have never seen before." Ansenlu said, "So, now I know three chess sets in total - the Blue Flame Stone Statue Chess Set, the Fantastic Beasts Chess Set, and the Ice Sea Chess Set."

"So..." Asuka Uesugi frowned, "What have you been talking about since just now?"

"I'm afraid you'll be too bored, so I'll help you pass the time."

"Only a devil can understand what you are saying!"

"It doesn't matter, just listen to the radio." Ansenlu said, "The reward just now is a chessboard. This thing starts with at least 6,000 evolution coins."

[Chessboard name: Ice Sea Chessboard]

[Chessboard quality: ordinary level]

[Chessboard description: In this chessboard, the main attributes and health points of all marine creatures will be improved to a certain extent. 】

[It is detected that you are not currently configuring any chessboard. Do you want to configure it - Ice Sea chessboard? 】

"That's okay. I only have an ocean chess piece on hand, and I thought it would be very useful."

As he said it, Anson Deer accepted it honestly: "Equipment."

[Chessboard configured—Ice Sea Chessboard]

"Is it over?" the red dragon girl asked.

"The broadcast is over, let's finish our meal and continue shopping." Ansonlu turned off all the panels.

"oh."

Asuka Uesugi snorted coldly. After they settled the dining problem in the restaurant, they took the light elevator and continued deep into the lower deck of the Titanic.

The two wandered from the d deck to the bottom deck.

Along the way, they met many ghosts. Asuka Uesugi changed from a fried penguin every minute at the beginning, to being numb later.

As a result, they didn't encounter many incidents during this trip, but instead had a lot of interactions with these ghosts.

From a cross-section perspective, the distribution of passenger cabins on the Titanic is a microcosm of the social class divisions at that time.

——Most of the ghosts in the first class cabin have gorgeous clothes, and their words are reserved and noble. As long as you provide evolution coins, there will be some ghost musicians who are good at playing music for you.

——Second class is the next best thing. The ghosts that appear are mainly from the middle class in Britain and the United States, such as doctors, writers, lawyers and other elite professions. If you pay evolution coins, these ghosts will even write poems, see a doctor, and treat you.

——The ghosts in the third class cabin are mainly poor immigrants from Britain, Ireland, Italy and Turkey. After their bodies have rotted, the ghosts here still sing and dance and start parties at night.

Ansonlu also wanted to drag Asuka in for a dance to see if any hidden events could be triggered.

As a result, as soon as he said these words, the little dragon girl had already hid thousands of miles away. She hugged her shoulders, huddled in a corner, and said with stern eyes full of hostility:

"If you want to dance, you can fish Xiong Haodong out of the Atlantic Ocean and dance with you!"

"I told you, Brother Dong has swam back to Shangshi City, and there is no way he can fish it back now."

The two mentioned Xiong Haodong's name at least a hundred times today, which shows their love and respect for Brother Haodong.

As a result, during this long period of exploration, neither of them triggered any special events.

The time quietly came to 11 o'clock at night, and they were staying on the lower deck.

In front of them was a strange, dimly lit corridor. On the right side of the corridor was a closed wall, so they couldn't see the sea, couldn't hear the sound of the tide, and the air was a bit dull.

At this time, the dim light bulb emitted flickering light.

"It's time to go back..." Uesugi Asuka held her forehead, "I really want to vomit, the whole boat is full of ghosts."

"Isn't there still a place to explore here?" Ansenlu walked forward, "Where there's a will, there's a way. Maybe as soon as we walk in..."

[Event triggered - Devil's Corridor]

"I'm going, are you really coming?"

"Crow's Mouth."

Asuka Uesugi had goosebumps all over her body.

[Event goal - pass through this corridor without being discovered by evil spirits throughout the entire process]

[Event limit number of challenges - 2/2 times]

[Note - Players are prohibited from using any skills while walking in the corridor. Once discovered by evil ghosts, they will return to the starting point. 】

Ansenlu glanced at the figure in red who was flickering in the corridor and had a ferocious face. He retracted his foot that had just stepped out, coughed twice and asked:

"Ahem....who comes first?"

"Are you scared?" Asuka frowned.

"Can you please see how badly you are shaking first?" Ansonlu gave him a look of disdain.

"Oh, what's so difficult about this? Just walk over."

Asuka Uesugi breathed a deep sigh of relief. She watched with her own eyes as the red-clothed devil turned the door handle, opened the door, and walked into one of the rooms in the corridor.

At this moment, she walked quickly into the dark corridor, and her figure was swallowed up by the darkness.

"Oh, she is so brave." Ansonlu refreshed his impression of this person.

Three seconds later.

"roar!!!"

Not surprisingly, it was the roar of the red dragon.

[The player Asuka Uesugi was discovered by the evil spirit ghost and has returned to the origin. 】

[Number of current event challenges: 1/2 times]

The system beep sounded, and a trembling crimson baby dragon had returned to the end of the corridor. It covered its body with its wings and huddled in the corner.

"That's it?" Anson Deer looked at the shivering young dragon, covering his face and holding back a smile, "Is it that scary? He even scared him out of his transformation..."

Asuka Uesugi slowly changed back to her original state, with angry tears in her eyes, and she said almost word for word in English:

“you can you up.”

"Ha, I'm really good at it." Ansen Lu raised the corners of his lips and started talking directly, "Let me teach you how I speed-passed 'Escape 1' in an Internet cafe in one hour!"

After he finished speaking, he reached for his pocket and took out the one-time skill card obtained from the 'mall lottery' - Stealth - from the luggage panel.

[One-time skill card has been consumed—Stealth.]

[You have entered the stealth state, which will last for 10 minutes. 】

In the dead corridor, Asuka Uesugi was the only one left.

In her eyes, the Anson deer suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace.

"Where are you, come out... don't make such a joke."

Asuka Uesugi's face was pale. She huddled in the corner and looked around blankly. Her eyes were slightly dark red, and she only saw the evil ghost watching in the corridor.

She shuddered and hugged her knees tightly.

"Of course it's a stuck bug, otherwise you think I could clear 'Escape' in one hour." Anson Deer said proudly.

However, it seemed that Asuka Uesugi didn't hear what he said.

"Can stealth also block sound..."

Anson Deer was stunned for a moment.

Without thinking much, he quickly walked into the corridor with his invisible body, passed directly by the evil ghost, and slowly walked towards the end of the dark corridor.

Soon, the system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the old chess player for successfully challenging the event "Devil's Corridor". 】

[Event reward: 500 experience points, 1000 evolution coins.]

"Old...old chess player?"

When Asuka Uesugi heard the system prompt, she raised her head and exhaled a white breath.

No response.

"Are you back?"

Still no response.

Asuka Uesugi lowered her head, her brown hair covering her eyes. She was so cold that she almost fell asleep here.

"An... Ansenlu, where are you? The incident is over."

Still no response.

"Where are the people..."

The girl turned her cheek, and the evil ghost's laughter came out. She quickly looked away, her voice was hoarse from the cold.

"Where are you?"

"Why can't dragons be afraid of ghosts?"

"I really hate ghosts the most..."

"Where are you...?"

At this moment, Anson Deer was returned to the original point by the system. Because he experienced a period of teleportation, his body was automatically released from the stealth state.

[The Anson Deer’s level has been upgraded to lv8 (0/8000 exp points), and its comprehensive attributes have been improved. 】

He turned his head and was so proud that he almost put his hands on his hips, "Yeah, it's that simple."

Asuka Uesugi was stunned for a long time.

She raised her head, stared blankly at Ansonlu's face, exhaled a cold breath, and after a moment of silence, she said nonchalantly:

"Ha, it's just cheating. I thought you were so awesome..."

"This is strength, okay, I can cheat, why can't you?"

"You have props, I don't."

"Then this is the difference between us."

"Okay, you are awesome."

Ansonlu suddenly felt guilty about bullying a little kid, and he said:

"Let's go back. We've explored the entire ship. Go to the first-class cabin and have a good sleep. Experience the treatment of the richest people in the last century."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Asuka.

Asuka Uesugi looked at his palm and hesitated for two seconds.

"Well, go back."

She turned her cheek, stretched out her slender hand, paused, took Ansenlu's hand, and stood up.

"Speaking of which, we can't take a break right now." Ansonlu said.

Asuka said, "Yes, we will enter the second session at 12 o'clock. There are still 10 minutes left. I don't know what the game mode will be."

"Oh, let's wait for the system notification and then rest." Ansonlu smiled.

"By the way, remember to forget what happened just now." Asuka Uesugi stretched out her index finger and pointed at Anson Deer's cheek with a blushing face. "Otherwise...I will turn into a dragon and bite you to death."

"What happened, I don't remember."

"Well, that's good," Asuka paused and gently poked Ansenlu's shoulder with her finger, "Thank you."

[The time has reached 0:00 on the night of December 25th, and the second session has begun - the pirate ghost ship is attacking]

[Before the attack of the ghost ship arrives, players can still move freely on the Titanic. 】

Not long after, Titanic, in the corridor of first class.

"What should I say?" Uesugi Asuka leaned against the door and hugged her shoulders.

Anson put his hand on his chin and said, "Well, let's take turns to stand guard. One person will rest while the other person observes the situation."

"Then who goes to sleep first?"

"Ladies first."

"Ha...you are quite a gentleman."

"I just want to prove that we Shangshi people are not all like Brother Dong."

"Oh, it's okay..." Asuka opened the door, turned her cheek, and glanced at Anson Deer, "I'm asleep, don't be as sleepy as a crawler."

"Okay, go to sleep." Ansenlu took out his mobile phone, "I'll play some mobile games. When you wake up, pick up my shift."

"Yeah." Asuka pushed the door.

"By the way." Anson Deer yawned and said in a confused voice, "I hope you won't wake me up because of oversleeping, and then become angry and turn into a dragon to bite me."

"Haha, then I will definitely bite you to death, and then I can sleep a little longer."

"That's almost it."

"Good night." Asuka Uesugi closed the door.

"An." Ansonlu lowered his head and looked at the phone.

.........

.........

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, ice floes floated on the gray-black sea. Hurricanes tore through the icy air and rolled up billowing sea fog, almost like sea beasts roaring in the dark night.

At this moment, a dilapidated and scary ship was slowly approaching. The iron-wall-like black side of the ship swayed away from the floating ice, and it finally opened up a channel in the ice and snow.

It will soon be connected to the Titanic.
