Chapter 152 Because, he is me.

"This skill is called 'Dragon Bomb Drop'. It looks pretty powerful. It has an instant AOE with a range of 200 meters."

Anson Lu's eyes lit up. "Moreover, it looks like its single-player combat capability is pretty good. Although it hasn't been tested in actual combat, I can conclude that it's not an auxiliary chess piece."

If Captain Longchuan's performance is satisfactory, he will definitely replace the floating fish in the tank as the main C position. After all, this type of chess has too many restrictive factors, and each battle takes thirteen seconds to form.

[This draw has ended. A total of three chess packs have been drawn, with new chess types added: Red Spider Egg, Cat in a Cage, and Dragon Sail Pirate Captain - Glivar Chris. ]

"It feels like there are a bunch of weird chess pieces in the chess library. It's almost becoming a zoo." Anson Deer complained.

[Your current evolution coins and baggage materials meet the requirements for upgrading chess types. Do you want to upgrade all the chess types you have drawn to the maximum level? ]

Without hesitation, he said, "Upgrade the Extradimensional Owl, the Caged Cat, and the Red Spider Egg to the maximum level."

Now that he has drawn the chess pieces, unless it is obvious at a glance that the pieces are useless, Anson Lu will still upgrade the chess pieces on hand to the maximum level.

After all, at this stage, common and rare materials are now commonplace, and he has no shortage of the hundreds of evolution coins needed for upgrading.

[A total of 700 Evolution Coins, 15 Crazy Chainsaws (rare materials), 40 Corrupted Broken Blades (common materials), three chess pieces have been upgraded to Lv2 (full level)]

[Changes to Crimson Spider Eggs: The speed of creating giant spiders has been increased - from one spider every 10 seconds to one spider every 8 seconds.]

[Changes to the Owl of Different Dimensions: The skill "Lock on Target" has been increased from increasing the damage a target receives in the next five seconds by 10% to increasing the damage a target receives in the next five seconds by 15%.]

[Changes to the Cage Cat: The attributes of the transformed beasts are comprehensively improved. ]

"Okay, it's time to take a break." Anson Lu closed all panels, blocked most of the prompts from the system, hid the health bar and mana value on the right side of his sight, and a bunch of system options.

Suddenly, the world became much quieter.

He walked to the window, looked at Shangshi shrouded in darkness, and closed the curtains.

Putting everything behind his mind, Anson Lu lay down on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

"Go to bed early. We have to go to Seoul tomorrow." He yawned. "With the help of the entire law enforcement team, it won't be a problem for us to kill the boss in seconds. I hope it won't be too troublesome."

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the trash can.

There was a magazine inside, which was given to him by his cousin, who said - "Xiaolu, this is an imported product I brought back from studying in the United States. If you are interested, take a look. Just think of it as me leading you into the adult world, hehehe."

His tone was vulgar and asking for a beating, but Anson Lu had become accustomed to his cousin's personality since he was a child. Putting aside the unserious parts, his cousin was actually a nice person.

My cousin is 22 years old this year. I heard that after graduating from a university in the United States, he did not look for a job based on his academic qualifications, but just found a job as a supermarket receptionist to pass the time. My uncle and aunt were so angry that they were speechless.

Three months ago, my cousin came back from the United States. He heard from his uncle that Anson Lu had transferred to Shangshi High School and was studying here alone, so he came over.

Every time Anson Lu saw his cousin, he always had a smiling face, as if he had never encountered any troubles in his life.

However, three months ago, his cousin found him and said something serious.

It was one night, the two of them were sitting on the railing of the rooftop, looking at the dark night sky, just like they did when they were children.

"Xiaolu, I know my parents haven't taken good care of you. After all, they are already worried about me, a useless person, so how can they have the energy to take care of you?" My cousin said, "They told me that you are too withdrawn and asked me to take you out to play more often, but I know you don't care about us at all. Every time I take you out to play, you just smile foolishly and look nonchalant."

Anson Lu replied perfunctorily, saying that he was under a lot of pressure in his senior year of high school and was not in the mood to play.

The cousin touched his hair and said seriously, "Xiaolu, you have been smarter than me since you were a child. You are obviously several years younger than me, but you are better than me in playing games and studying, not to mention playing chess. You have never lost to anyone in chess since you were a child, right? The uncles and aunts in the community all told me, Zhenghui, it would be great if you were as smart as Xiaolu."

Anson Lu sighed, "Hey, cousin, please stop praising me. I was a good student when I was in elementary school. Now my grades are at the bottom of the class. I just spend more time playing chess."

"Don't deny it so quickly. I know that in order to avoid embarrassing me in front of my parents, you have always put yourself in a low position at home. Your grades in school have suddenly deteriorated, making your uncle and aunt really think that you are in your rebellious period." My cousin smiled and said, "I mean there is no need to be like this. I have always known how careful and smart you are, Xiaolu, and you have always been able to take care of the feelings of those around you."

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Anson Lu asked in a low voice.

"It's important to get into a good university. Of course, if you fail, there are still many options, but they are definitely not as stable as university." My cousin said with a smile: "My cousin, I have never been as smart as you since I was a child. When I saw my parents throwing money at me, sending me to various cram schools, and sending me to study abroad, I really wanted to tell them that Xiaolu is the one you should take care of."

After a pause, he looked up at the night sky. "I heard from my parents that your grades are not good. They are worried about you. You must live a good life and live for yourself. No one else's opinion is important."

At that time, in response to his cousin's long speech, Anson Lu was silent for a while, and said softly:

"Cousin, it must be lonely in America, right?"

My cousin was stunned for a long time.

He looked at Anson Deer with a complicated expression, and finally just smiled and gently touched Anson Deer's messy hair.

"You are really too smart, kid."

Anson Lu actually knew it. With his cousin's frivolous personality since childhood, how could he talk to Anson Lu about his troubles and tell him how much pressure he was under in the United States alone without any friends or relatives around him?

That's why he kept talking about Anson Deer, as if he was using it to cover up the loneliness in his heart.

During this time, Anson Lu confirmed the safety of his cousin.

My cousin survived the first round of dungeons, but died in the second round - the last dungeon he chose was Ancheng in China, where he and Anson Lu grew up.

A week ago, the Chinese government announced the death list. When the uncle and aunt saw their long-lost son on the death list, it seemed that they could no longer find a reason to live.

Their city did not fall, but their hearts did. The two hanged themselves at home, and even did not leave a text message for Anson Lu until the very end.

Anson Deer learned about this from the crow, who had been keeping an eye on his family. He didn't feel heartbroken at the time, but just felt a little weird.

The alarm clock suddenly rang, interrupting Anson Lu's thoughts.

He got out of bed, took out the magazine with disgusting content from the trash can, put it in the drawer, together with the photo of his cousin.

Anson Luduo glanced at the photo and saw that his cousin still had that smiling expression in the frame.

"You idiot, if you feel lonely, just come back from America as soon as possible." He sighed, "Then I can take care of you. Who the hell would go to America?"

Anson Lu was silent for a long time, closed the drawer, fell on the bed and closed his eyes.

A night in silence.

Anson Lu was sleeping soundly. He dreamed of Yuri. The two of them were walking on the mountains of Hokkaido. The cold wind was howling. She was walking farther and farther away in the white world, and her back was lost at the end of the snowy road.

He ran in the snow for a long time, calling loudly for the sled, the kangaroo, and the queen, but no chess piece responded to his call. He ran weakly in the snow without stopping even for a step.

When he reached the end of the snowy mountain, he saw a girl's back. The girl turned around and Anson Lu remembered this face. This was the girl named Khaki.

The next second, the girl melted into ice in the wind and merged into the falling snow in winter.

Anson Lu woke up from his dream. He took a deep breath, moved his eyes, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

It is now January 21st, and it is nine o'clock in the morning.

"Let's wash up and go to Seoul." He said softly.

This incident is so serious that the capital of South Korea has fallen. If we don't help this time out of Lorenzo's kindness, the Hell Lighthouse and the law enforcement team will really break up on the spot.

Now that the principal is gone, there is no one to protect them. Anson Lu has finally established a cooperative relationship with the law enforcement team. If the cooperation between the two is broken at this time, it will be really over.

While brushing his teeth, Anson Lu opened many functions of the system, and friend information bubbles popped up one by one in the upper right corner of his vision.

The crow sent several messages, and Anson Deer took a quick look at them.

[Ritsuhara: I saw members of the Chinese official team in the city. There are only two people from the other side. They should come to meet you, but be careful.]

【Anson Deer: It’s alright, it’s alright. 】

"Two people." Anson Lu took a sip of mouthwash. "That's good. They don't put on airs like the law enforcement team."

At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded.

[It has been detected that all copies around the world have ended, and the global battle rankings will be announced soon.]

[The number of players participating in the dungeon in Shangshi City this time is 65,000, and the number of deaths is 9,000. Only 56,000 players returned to the city safely. ]

"Sure enough, the death toll this time is much higher." Anson Lu stared at the numbers on the panel and sighed softly: "After all, the difficulty of the fourth round of dungeons is simply abnormally high."

[The average combat power of Shangshi City ranks among all cities in the world as - not yet in the top 100. ]

The global city rankings have not changed much. The base of the law enforcement team is New York - so this city, as the representative of the law enforcement team, naturally occupies the No. 1 position.

[Finally, in the Shangshi City battle power rankings, the player currently at the top of the list is——Anson Lu! ]

[This player is ranked No.1 in global combat power! Congratulations to player 'Anson Deer' for taking the top spot in the world for the third time in a row, breaking the record for the player who has stayed in the top spot in global combat power for the longest time so far! ]

[Received a reward from the game system - three high-end mall lottery draw opportunities.]

"High-end mall lottery," Anson Lu raised his eyebrows, "Does that mean it's better than the ordinary lottery?"

The whole city was still in an uproar. The scene was like the Chinese national football team winning the World Cup. As a prominent figure in Shangshi City, Anson Lu brought infinite glory to such a small county with a small population.

He spat out the mouthwash with a "gurgling" sound, wiped his cheek with a towel, walked two or three steps to the door, opened the door with sleepy eyes, and looked at the two visitors standing in front of the door.

Anson Lu had seen the faces of these two people on the Internet to some extent.

They are all from China's official team. Compared with the law enforcement team, their reputation in the world is slightly inferior, but they are definitely top-notch in China. After all, they are their own sequence player team.

Their arrival did not surprise Anson Lu - rather: the principal was already dead, and if these people had not appeared, everything would have seemed too unusual.

"Hello, Anson Lu." The leader was a handsome young man with medium-length black hair and a pigtail. "We are the Chinese national team, and we are visiting on behalf of the government."

The young man had a gentle smile on his face. He handed over an official certificate that recorded a series of information he had made public - his name was Jiang Yiji, and he was the captain of the Chinese official team.

Jiang Yiji's combat power ranks twelfth in the world, and he masters an extremely mysterious sequence.

Next to Jiang Yiji was a boy who was only 1.55 meters tall and had light blue hair.

He had a lazy look on his face, as if he was about to fall asleep, and he had a long bag on his back.

As expected, the bag contained a firearm.

The boy's name is Mo Xiaoyuan.

Globally, except for Cosimo from the law enforcement team, he is the only sequence player under the age of 17, and his sequence name is - Gun of Burning Soul.

"Hello, Jiang Yiji." Ansen Lu shrugged and looked at the boy: "Also, Mo Xiaoyuan, so...what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Anson Lu, your contribution to the world is seen by every high-ranking official in China, and the people also love you very much." Jiang Yijie smiled and said slowly:

"Although I don't want to disturb you, I have to come to discuss something with you. First of all, the Chinese authorities need to confirm the identity of a person with you. That person claims to be the principal of Shangshi High School. Before this, it was because he threatened the senior officials of the authorities that our national team could not send anyone to contact you.

So far, we have not made any progress in our investigation of his identity. All his files in the national database are forged, and his name and qualifications are all false. "

Anson Deer sighed softly and said helplessly: "You found that he suddenly disappeared a week ago, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Yiji nodded without hesitation, his eyes full of sincerity. He did not intend to hide anything from the hero of China, the boy who was ranked number one in the world.

Anson Lu said calmly: "Because, he is me."
