Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 88 The Lighthouse of Hell (please order first)

December 31st, noon, Shangshi High School.

Anson walked into the principal's office, and the noon light followed his back and slanted into this classically furnished office - it was empty, without any sign of anyone.

In the past, the principal would have been drinking tea in the office.

"Where are the people?"

He picked up his phone and sent a message to the principal.

[Ansen Lu: Where are you, principal? Didn’t you invite me to have tea today? 】

[Principal: I’m going to Tokyo, you can play by yourself first. 】

East Tokyo?

No, every city is now shrouded by invisible walls. Ordinary citizens cannot use the 'travel voucher', so how does he leave the city?

Anson Lu looked at this shocking message and couldn't help complaining, "I'll go, can you remember that you are just a citizen and stop pretending?"

[Ansen Lu: Why are you going to Tokyo? No, old principal, how did you get out of the city if you can’t use the ‘travel voucher’? 】

[Principal: Since you want Asuka Uesugi to come over, let me talk to the Uesugi family. As for the influence of Japanese and American officials, it is actually not as big as the Uesugi family’s decision. 】

[Anson Deer: Please, don’t ignore my last question! 】

[Principal: We will discuss this later. 】

"Every time I'm asked this question, I just pretend to be stupid." Ansonlu said helplessly.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded suddenly in his ears - [This is a city notification for Shangshi City. Currently, all players in the world have returned to the city, and big data is being tallied. ]

[The total population of Shangshi City is 170,000, the total number of people participating in this instance is 80,000, the death toll is - 11,000, and only 69,000 players returned to the city safely. 】

Ansonlu murmured: "The number of deaths this time is much less. Is it because of experience?"

[The average combat power value of Shangshi City ranks among all cities in the world - it has not yet entered the top 100. 】

[The current top five cities in the world in terms of average combat power are as follows]

【NO.1: New York (USA)

NO.2: Huanjing (China)

NO.3: Moscow (Russia)

NO.4: Tokyo (Japan)

NO.5:Mexico City (Mexico)]

"Oh, the members of the law enforcement team seem to be stationed in New York. No wonder New York has risen to the top." Anson was not too surprised.

[Finally, the player currently at the top of the list of Shangshi City’s combat power is——Anson Lu.]

[This player's global combat power ranking is - NO.1!!!]

[Latest announcement - Congratulations to the player ‘Anson Deer’ from the ‘Hell Beacon’ union, replacing ‘Lorenzo de Medici’ and becoming the current number one player in the world. 】

The whole city celebrated.

The entire Shangshi City was instantly freed from the lifeless atmosphere. Citizens on the streets were scurrying left and right. This small town was like an awakened lion, with festive roars constantly coming from the distance.

The students of Shangshi High School also began to become restless. You must know that except for the senior high school students, students in other grades still have to attend class as usual, but who would have the time to pay attention to the class at this time.

"Everyone is so excited."

Ansonlu laughed dryly, he desperately hoped that the town would return to peace immediately - but now all the students ran out of the classroom, and Class 3 and 4 became a tourist attraction once again.

Fortunately, no one could have imagined that Anson Deer was staying in the principal's office.

Well, at least I don’t have to eat noodles with my nose. I used my overdraft life to draw out two epic chess pieces. If I can’t climb to the first place, I can really find a piece of tofu to kill me.

Ansonlu sighed softly, and the system prompts sounded one after another.

[You have obtained the title - Top of the World (a collectible title, which will be effective even without equipment): luck +1 point, main attribute +2 points. 】

It will have the effect even if it is not equipped, that is, it will be a permanent bonus.

Ansonlu opened his personal panel and said with some surprise: "The first place still has such benefits."

Currently, with the bonus of the two titles of "Top of the World" and "Fortress Protector", Anson Deer's mental attributes are as high as 30 points.

The most important thing is - 'chess domain' is the core sequence skill of the old chess players, and all aspects of the operation of this skill will be affected by the 'mental attribute'.

Open the sequence panel and Anson Deer can see:

The cooling time of the chess field has been reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes; the percentage of mana consumed per minute has been reduced from 10% to 5%; and the coverage range has been increased from 35 meters to 40 meters.

"Perfect, there are also 'Extradimensional Kangaroo' and 'King Protector' to support the chess field during the cool down period." Ansonlu turned off the panel.

In the upper right corner of the line of sight, notification bubbles for receiving messages kept popping up - probably after hearing the announcement that he was number one in the world, Natsuki Fujimoto and Sakurako Miyamoto were going crazy again.

He briefly glanced at his friends list and opened Crow's chat panel.

There is an unread message.

[Urushihara Ritsu: Mr. Lu, I’ve got the 10 ‘extremely durable planks’ you need, but I haven’t been able to find out the information about the ‘lightning rods’. There should be no player who has this material yet. 】

[Anson Deer: It’s okay, the wooden planks are enough. The ‘Lightning Rod’ is an epic material. I never thought it would be so easy to get it. 】

[Qi Yuanlu: Okay, then I will give you the materials now. 】

[Qi Yuanlu sent you a transaction request, do you accept it? 】

[The request has been agreed, and ‘extremely durable wooden board’*10 has been added to your luggage space.]

"I got the materials that Crow was looking for, and now I also have a deer-type chess piece on hand." Anson put his hand on his chin and said, "To build a 'Christmas sleigh', I also need a deer-type chess piece and a mine-accumulating rod.

Needle."

[Urushihara Ritsu: By the way, I just returned to Sanshi City and happened to meet an interesting person. 】

【Anson Deer: Interesting person?】

【Urushihara:Dragon.】

dragon?

Ansenlu was stunned for a moment, "No, he's another guy who comes to other people's hometowns without saying a word."

He walked quickly to the corridor, looked down at the entire school, and saw a figure at the school gate.

The girl wore a red hat and a light green dress, with a pair of ponytails swaying slightly in the sun, her fair and slender arms folded in front of her chest, and her pretty face filled with contempt.

Ansenlu found the name ‘Asuka Uesugi’ in the friend list and opened the chat panel directly.

By chance, her message popped up.

【Asuka Uesugi: pictures, pictures.】

The two pictures are directly confusing and very overbearing.

"What the hell?"

Anson Lu walked downstairs to the teaching building and clicked on the first picture.

These two pictures are on the hot search lists of ‘Weibo’ and ‘Twitter’ respectively.

Scroll left and right, and the number one hot search list on both sides is - [Anson Deer reached the top of the world with a special sequence of 'Old Chess Players', beating Lorenzo, the president of the Law Enforcement Team!!!]

Further down the hot search list, there are basically news related to Anson deer.

——[The public questioned why the world's number one player did not join the "law enforcement team" but started a union of his own. China officials did not respond to this. 】

——[Speculation from the union to which chess players belonged in the past, who is the “Lighthouse of Hell”, the union currently ranked 521st in the world?!]

——[The Evolution Foundation released the complete video, leading everyone to review the major deeds of this number one player: 1. The Battle of Hokkaido 2. The Empire State Building turned the tide.]

The Evolution Foundation is a temporary decision-making organization for [Evolutionary Games] officially established by various countries. The currently popular [Evolutionary Games] course was proposed by the Evolutionary Foundation.

"Everything is boring."

Anson Deer, scroll down, there is the latest information about Asuka Uesugi.

[Asuka Uesugi: What a pity, I can’t see you eating noodles with your nose anymore.]

[Anson Deer: Haha, let me tell you, I will definitely be the number one in the world. Are you still betting on me? 】

[Asuka Uesugi: Have you had enough? Come down and pick me up.]

[Anson Deer: No, can’t you come in by yourself? Just tell the guard. Who in Shangshi High School has not heard of my name as ‘Deer God’? 】

[Asuka Uesugi: I told you your name, but he still didn’t let me in.]

【Anson Deer:Why?】

[Asuka Uesugi: Are you an idiot? The Evolution Foundation has marked me as an 'S-level high-risk player'. According to the rules, if I enter a place like school, I will be pulled back and forced into confinement. 】

Ansenlu stared at this message, lowered his eyes, was silent for two seconds, and turned to look at Asuka Uesugi at the school gate - she had one hand on her hip and the other hand typing on the panel.

The boy stretched out his well-jointed fingers and typed on the panel.

[Anson Deer: This is the upper stone, let them roll as far as they want.]

【Asuka Uesugi:You】

Asuka Uesugi seems to be trying to type.

Qi Yuanliu came from the street and touched her shoulder from behind.

At the same time, a crow flew out from his fingertips, shot straight towards the fifth floor of the teaching building, and landed next to Anson Deer.

As the crow disappeared, Ritsu Urushihara and Asuka appeared next to Ansenka.

".What?"

Asuka Uesugi's pupils turned slightly red due to stress. She looked like she was frightened, but after her sight touched the Anson deer in front of her, the scarlet color in her pupils gradually faded away.

"Lu Jun, I brought her up directly." Qi Yuanlu yawned and said lazily:

"I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back to the dormitory to rest."

Ansenlu stared at Qi Yuanlu and said a little unhappily:

"Crow, remember to tell me in advance next time you go out. Every time I look for you, I can't find anyone."

"Haha, follow your orders, my president."

Urushihara smiled slightly, and then, under Asuka's confused gaze, he slowly walked away.

Anson Deer turned his head and asked disdainfully:

"Why don't you come up now? Is it that difficult?"

"So, how did I get up here?"

Asuka Uesugi finally recovered from the shock. She frowned and closed the chat panel.

"That guy's skill is to create a crow, which can change places with the crow at any time, and can also bring people with him."

Ansonlu shrugged and explained, "Have you forgotten, this is how he took me up last time at the Empire State Building."

"oh"

Asuka Uesugi crossed her shoulders and looked at the crow's back.

"I remember you said that his name is Qi Yuanlu, and he is the dog-headed strategist of your union?"

"Yeah, be careful to keep your distance from him."

"Keep your distance?" Asuka was stunned again.

"This guy is a top-notch bastard, and he especially likes to analyze others. You'd better not take what he says seriously, as he can easily be driven insane." Ansonlu said in a rather disgusted tone.

"Haha, are your union really all weirdos?"

"Yes." Anson Deer said calmly, "Of course, aside from the fact that he likes to analyze people, the crows are still pretty good."

"Okay, I understand."

Asuka Uesugi freed up a hand to support her swollen and painful forehead.

"So, why are you looking for me? You can't see me eating noodles with my nose." Ansen Lu said.

"I have decided to join your union."

"Apply."

"What?"

"Send the application and I agree now." Anson Deer repeated.

[Trade Union Notice—Asuka Uesugi (Crimson Dragon Wing) applies to join the trade union ‘Hell’s Lighthouse’. 】

[The application has been approved, current number of union members: 5]

"Welcome to the big weirdo family." Ansonlu extended his hand and said seriously, "Don't even think about running away once you're here. Our big weirdo family doesn't accept more than two or five kids."

"With a weirdo like you here, I don't even know what to do. If the sky falls, you will be the one holding it up."

Asuka Uesugi slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said sarcastically.

She was about to hold Anson Lu's hand, when a cold breath suddenly swept over her.

"You guys are blocking the road."

The Icelandic girl said expressionlessly.

Her emotionless gaze passed over their hands that were about to touch each other, as if a cold wind from Siberia was blowing by, making both Anson Shika and Uesugi Asuka's hands tremble.

Thank you everyone for your first order!
