Chapter 17: Crows and Gamblers

The morning light shone dimly into the hotel room through the curtains.

“Ding-ling-ling——”

The alarm of the game system rang in his ears, and the boy opened his eyes painfully.

"Damn it, should we play or not..." Anson Lu yawned sleepily, tears still welling up in his eyes, "One hour is equal to three hours, I need to use the daytime time to rest."

[You can pay 5 Evolution Coins again and continue to use the hotel during the day]

"Get lost, you capitalist!" Anson Lu's eyes twitched and he said in a daze, "Even if I have to sleep on a park bench, I won't pay you this five..."

"five……"

Anson Deer's eyes slowly closed, and his face looked as peaceful as a corpse.

He put his hands together, clasped his fingers together, and said in a soft and sacred voice as if he was praying:

"Pay five evolution coins."

[Payment completed. You can continue to use the hotel until nightfall. Your current Evolution Coin balance is: 180 Evolution Coins]

Fell asleep immediately.

The sky was dark and gloomy.

But not long after, Anson Deer suddenly opened his eyes.

A crow swooped in through the gap in the window, passed through the windblown curtains, and landed on the floor of the room, staring at him with its scarlet eyes.

crow?

Could it be the one I saw on the telephone pole last night...

"Chess field."

Anson Deer recited almost without hesitation.

In an instant, everything within a radius of thirty meters was divided into sixty-four grids by thin lines.

"The stone statue of the knight is placed in grid E3."

Anson Deer waved the chess piece and a cold voice fell.

As a burst of powerful horse hooves sounded, the sturdy figure of the stone knight appeared in front of the bed. It was still riding the stone horse, and the eye sockets of the stone horse and the knight were burning with billowing green flames.

The crow's body suddenly disappeared, and instead, a tall and thin shadow appeared in front of the windowsill.

"Calm down, Anson Deer, I have no hostility towards you."

The other party said this in a calm voice.

Anson Deer stretched out his slender fingers and turned on the bedside lamp. His dark brown eyes reflected the figure of the uninvited guest.

The visitor was wearing a black and white prisoner suit. He was Asian, with a slightly feminine face, a pair of slender and deep eyes, and regular features, but his expression seemed to carry a sense of cynical mockery.

Prisoner uniform...

Could this be a criminal who escaped from some prison? Can the Evolution Game ban criminals from joining the game? Otherwise, there will be a bunch of monsters seeking revenge on society in the future...

Anson Lu complained in his heart, but said calmly on the surface:

"Uh, big brother, I'll give you one minute. If you can't convince me within this minute, I'll kill you."

Maintaining the chess area requires mana consumption.

If the opponent is aware of this and intends to delay time and wait until Anson Stag's mana is depleted before taking action, Anson Stag will definitely not let the opponent succeed.

In order to avoid harming innocent people, one minute was the limit that Anson Deer could compromise.

However, which innocent person would visit in this way?

strangeness……

So weird…

I also saw that crow last night. This person is a player, and the crow is his skill?

I have never heard of any profession among the five major professions that is playing crows. Anson Deer stared at the man's face and made a judgment in his heart——

This is a special professional player.

Anson Deer was not panicking. Everyone's level was still low, and even if their skills were powerful, they would not be able to kill him instantly.

As long as the opponent uses any skill to get close to him, he will immediately use the "Protect the King" sequence skill to enter a state of being immune to damage and control. The fault tolerance brought by Protecting the King is there.

The young man smiled and spoke slowly.

"One minute is enough. Let me introduce myself. My name is Urushihara Ritsu, and I'm Japanese."

"First of all, how do you know my name is Anson Deer?"

"There are many videos about you on the Internet. You are an old chess player. You are the first person in the world to pass the professional test and obtain a triple S rating. The system has announced your name worldwide."

"Absolutely..." Anson Lu stared at Urushihara Ritsu and sighed, "Tell me, how do you prove that you don't want to harm me? Let me tell you first, I have a very serious paranoia, so I hope you can be more precise in your statement."

Using the bird's-eye view provided by Qi-kun, he could see that Maruyama Jun and Iwata Minoru, who were on the fourth floor, were both awakened by the noise and were heading towards the fifth floor.

"Like you, I am a special sequence owner." Urushihara Ritsu said, "My career sequence is called - Crow Gambler."

Crow Gambler...

It certainly sounds like a profession that involves playing with crows, so what is the connection with gamblers, and how can they stitch the two elements together at the same time?

“This is my career dashboard, which records the skills I currently have.”

Urushihara Ritsu summoned the career panel, enlarged it proportionally, and then slowly turned it towards Anson Deer.

"Are you serious?" Anson Lu was stunned.

"Very seriously, I'm trying to please you, Anson Deer." Urushihara Ritsu said with a smile.

There may be two reasons why Urushihara Ritsu is willing to display all his skills: 1. He feels that even if he displays them, Anson Lu is still no match for him; 2. He really has no hostility towards Anson Lu and comes to negotiate with a friendly attitude.

Anson Lu didn't know what Urushihara Ritsu's purpose was, but he still chose to look at the career panel of the Crow Gambler first.

This can prevent the other party from suddenly using skills that he is not familiar with during the conversation.

[Occupational sequence: Crow Gambler]

[Main attribute of the profession: Agility (this attribute will affect the performance of most professional skills in positive proportion)]

[Sequence level: first order]

[Sequence advancement conditions: players will know after reaching a certain level]

[The current sequence skills are as follows]

[Skill 1 Name: Phantom Crow]

[Skill type: Active skill]

[Skill Introduction:

Creates a crow that lasts for a maximum of 2 hours.

The Crow Gambler can obtain the vision and hearing of this crow, and appear at the location of this crow at any time. If it appears at the location of the crow, the crow will disappear. 】

[Skill consumption: consumes 30% of the Crow Gambler's mana]

"Send out a crow as a scout, and be able to teleport to the crow's location at any time at the cost of sacrificing the crow..." Anson Deer raised his eyebrows, thinking.

No wonder Anson Deer observed a crow staring at him from the telephone pole on Commercial Street last night.

That was created by Urushihara Ritsu using his skills, and he was able to observe Anson Deer through the eyes of a crow.

Furthermore, the crow just now disappeared quickly after entering the room, and instead, it was Urushihara Ritsu who appeared in the room.

This is because he sacrificed the crow he created and used that teleportation ability.

Anson Deer's brain was thinking fast.

Importantly, this skill has no cooldown.

In other words, as long as the mana is sufficient, it can be used multiple times. Urushihara Ritsu can create multiple crows and even use these crows to move multiple times in battle.

Maybe before coming here, he had already placed another crow nearby as a retreat.

Compared to the three initial skills of the "Old Chess Player", the "Crow Gambler" has one less initial sequence skill. Anson Deer continued to look at the panel to check the second sequence skill of this career sequence.
