Chapter 185 A Confession from a Crybaby

Rjukan, Norway.

After dinner, Anson Lu came to the town square. He wanted to test the function of the new chessboard. Due to the influence of the mirror device on the top of the mountain, the square was the only place in Liukan Town that could receive sunlight, so it was naturally the perfect place.

He yawned and began to read.

"Chess field."

He chose the "giant chessboard" he had just drawn. After giving the order, the field expanded outward. There was not much difference between the gigantic chessboard and the original chessboard, and it was basically impossible to tell the difference between the two.

The characteristic of this chessboard is that the first chess piece summoned will expand greatly in size, but the corresponding damage will be doubled.

In other words, this is a double-edged sword, but it can definitely be useful in the right situation.

As the giant chessboard unfolded, Anson Lu said without thinking:

"Christmas sleigh, come to me."

The next moment, two huge reindeer stepped on the lightning in the air and dragged the sled across the winter sky.

And it's not just the reindeers, the size of the sled has naturally increased as well - it is now eight meters long and four meters wide, almost comparable to a dragon boat.

"Oh..." Anson Lu raised his eyebrows, "It seems to be two meters long and one and a half meters wide. The volume has increased several times."

The size of chess has increased, but what about the range of skills?

Anson Deer thought about this and gave the order: "Christmas Sleigh, release the skill 'Deer Roaring Thunder Flash' towards the sky!"

tread!

Trample!

Tap tap tap!

Two huge reindeer stepped into the air, and their hooves created circles of overlapping lightning in the air. All the lightning gathered at their horns and then shot up into the sky.

“Bang!”

The lightning tore through the icy air of Norway, swirling up into the sky like a giant shining python and blasting apart the dense clouds.

"Yeah, the range has gotten bigger." Anson Lu nodded. The scene just now confirmed that his guess was correct. As the size of the chess pieces increased, the skills released were naturally affected.

Of course, for chess pieces like Captain Dragon Boatman, even if his size becomes huge, his skill - "Dragon Bullet Bombing" will not be affected, and he will still cover the same area as before.

"That's all for now." Anson Lu withdrew his gaze from the sky.

Because each time the "Giant Chessboard" is released, only the first chess piece can be enlarged, and the other chess pieces released afterwards will not enjoy the effect of enlargement.

Therefore, Anson Lu was temporarily unable to test the effects of other chess types on this chessboard, so he simply cancelled the chess area.

He opened the friend panel and saw that Yuri's status was still "Do Not Disturb, Hibernating", which showed that this Icelandic girl was very good at staying in bed. Maybe she stayed up all night playing video games or reading a book.

When we were in Shangshi, Chu Qimo, who was also the dormitory manager, would remind everyone to go to bed early. But in Norway, everyone lived separately, and the residences were not far away, but they were not close either, so no one could take care of each other.

How about...I live with her?

No, no, no, this will cause me to be humiliated by the other three until the end of the world.

"Forget it, she just lacks common sense, not that she can't take care of herself." Anson Lu shrugged.

"Talking to yourself?" Asuka Uesugi walked slowly towards them and asked with a frown.

Anson Lu put his fist to his mouth, coughed twice, and said very seriously: "People need to have a deep communication with their own hearts occasionally."

Asuka Uesugi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're just kidding, aren't you? I almost vomited my breakfast when I heard you say that."

"So, what are you doing here?"

"Sunbathing."

Asuka Uesugi looked up at the sunlight projected through the mirror device from the top of the mountain. She had never seen such a small town before, where there was no sunlight for two-thirds of the year.

After a pause, she continued, "Also, look at what you are doing. When I saw you open the chess domain, I thought those sequence players came to visit."

"I'm just experimenting with chess."

"Oh, all right."

"Asuka-san, are you used to living here?"

"It's OK, not as bad as I imagined. I just prefer places like Shangshi where there are more people."

"Oh, after all, you are a young lady, so it's not bad to experience the simple life of us Upper Stonemen, right?"

"In fact, after meeting someone like Xiong Haodong, I originally kept my distance from you Shangshiren."

"I've already said it..." Anson Lu spread his hands and said jokingly, "Brother Dong's is a mutant species, a dark stone man. If it is put in the chess species, it must be at least a rare level."

"Can you please stop talking? I really imagined that scene..." Asuka imagined the scene of 'Anson Deer using the chess field to summon a bear Haodong' and was amused to burst into laughter.

"Can you believe it? After I got into trouble, he didn't even give me a chance to delete his friend list. He deleted me first, fearing that I would get into trouble."

After the news of the "former chess player's rampage incident" spread, Anson Lu unilaterally deleted many of his friends.

The night before yesterday, he was still worrying about why he couldn't find Dong Ge's name, only to find out that Xiong Haodong was the only one who had deleted him on his own initiative. This shows how sensitive Dong Ge's sense of risk avoidance is.

No wonder Xiong Haodong was able to survive until the sixth round in such a dangerous dungeon.

"That guy is lucky. With his strength, he should have been eliminated in the first round of dungeons." Asuka straightened her back.

“Yes, yes. After all, he is our Shangshi’s rising star. Maybe he can really survive until the world boss battle with Brother Dong.” Anson Lu raised the corner of his mouth.

"That's impossible. If he can survive until the last round of dungeons, I will be there!"

Anson Deer interrupted her and said, "At the beginning, I remember someone said that if I really collapsed the Titanic, then she was a penguin."

"So?" Asuka narrowed her eyes.

"I collapsed it. You, the fire penguin, can't run away." Anson Deer shrugged his shoulders and said seriously, "Also, Asuka, I have something to tell you."

Asuka was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since she saw President Lu being so serious. She was used to seeing him acting crazy and stupid, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's going on?" she asked. "Is it about the principal?"

After seeing all the previous signs, no matter how slow she was, she discovered the problem. Anson Lu asked the principal of Shangshi High School what was hiding from her.

"The principal is my future self," Anson Lu whispered. "He traveled back through time using the power of a chess seed in order to change my personality. Through the change in my personality, he can directly influence my fate."

"Huh?" Asuka Uesugi stood there in a daze, with "unbelievable" written all over her pretty facial features.

"With your penguin's brain circuit, it will probably take you five seconds to react." Anson Deer put his hands in his pockets and counted down with interest: "Five... four... three... two..."

"so……"

"That's progress. He reacted in four seconds."

"Are you really not fooling me?"

"No." Anson Lu's tone was firm.

"Then what's going on? The principal is you from the future. This is too ridiculous!!"

"He was the one who destroyed the Titanic. We lost the previous timeline."

"Lose?"

"Humanity lost." Anselor said expressionlessly, "After its victory, the snow dragon continued to evolve and became unstoppable, eventually flattening the entire world."

Asuka opened her mouth, but no words came out.

"Of course, the principal was responsible for 99% of our defeat this time, because he killed Lorenzo. Teacher Chu and Crow both died at the hands of the principal."

"Principal? Isn't that you?" Asuka was a little confused.

Anson Lu's voice deepened: "Actually, I don't want to confuse him with myself. Can you understand?"

Asuka Uesugi was silent for a long time. The two of them were silent in the quiet winter day. The cold wind blew on her beautiful cheeks. She raised her bluebird-like eyes and looked at the strange boy in front of her.

"Then, according to what you said." She raised her head, "It wasn't you who sank the Titanic, but the principal. Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

Anson Lu was stunned for a moment, "Ah... that seems to be the case."

"So, I didn't lose the bet." Asuka raised her lips, "That wasn't you."

Anson Deer suddenly laughed, "Okay, just assume that you didn't lose the bet, but you can't escape the fate of becoming a penguin."

"Get lost."

"So, you won't ask me anything anymore?"

"Why have you been hiding this from me?"

"Because, in that timeline, you are already dead." Anson Lu paused and added: "Died in the evolution game."

Asuka Uesugi hugged her elbows and lowered her eyes, "Is that so?"

After a moment of silence, Anseng Lu said sincerely, "The principal went back many years and allowed you, who was less than nine years old, to obtain dragon blood, thus creating the 'Scarlet Dragon Wings' sequence."

"So, in the original timeline, I was an ordinary player." Asuka put her hand on her chin, "And then, you saved me?"

"He was the one who saved you, not me." Anson Lu shrugged, "So, your unfortunate life was also caused by him."

Uesugi Asuka stared at his gloomy expression, frowned and asked:

"Then why, are you feeling guilty?"

"Isn't it contradictory? On the one hand, I really want to separate him from me, but on the other hand, I feel that if there is no principal, with my previous personality, I would really do these things."

Asuka Uesugi stretched out her fair right hand, crossed her middle finger and thumb, and flicked it hard on Anson Lu's forehead.

"Are you sick?" Anson Lu covered his forehead in pain.

"You..." Uesugi Asuka sighed, "You are really stupid, the ultimate idiot!"

"Okay, I'm an idiot, and you penguin are no better."

"Ha, hahaha." Asuka Uesugi laughed for a long time before she stopped. The tip of her nose was slightly red, and the hot breath exhaled from the girl's lips was very clear in Norway in winter.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I just feel like," Asuka whispered, "I haven't had a chat like this with you in a while."

Anson Lu pouted and said, "So, have you been avoiding me recently?"

Uesugi Asuka was stunned for a moment, hugged her elbows and asked: "Wow, what gave you this illusion?"

"Of course it's intuitive."

"...Okay." Asuka was helpless. The most convincing thing about Anson Lu was his intuition. This guy's intuition had never been wrong.

"What's the reason?" Anson Lu exhaled a breath of white air and put his hands in his pockets. "Why are you hiding from me? I apologized to you for the incident with the cat in the cage, okay?"

"Do you need a reason?"

"Please, I'm the president of our weirdo family. We can't ignore any psychological problems of our members. If you are schizophrenic or autistic, you must tell me so that I can set off firecrackers to celebrate."

"Ha, you're not a human being, are you?"

Anson Lu raised his eyes with a smile in his eyes, "So, how did I offend you, big sister?"

Asuka Uesugi was stunned for a moment, avoiding his brown eyes, and her cheeks turned red.

"No, I just don't want to see you." She turned her face away.

"real?"

"…….Okay, it's fake." Uesugi Asuka was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Let me first talk about what happened just now. Although I had a very troublesome childhood thanks to that principal, at least I am still alive now. If I died, wouldn't there be nothing left?"

"Yeah, that's true." Anson Lu opened his mouth slightly and said softly: "But I still want to say sorry to you, Asuka, I'm really sorry."

It was hard for him to imagine how this girl in front of him survived her childhood when she was treated as a monster and excluded everywhere. It was hard to imagine how she convinced herself, how she overcame the loneliness, and how she came through step by step.

Finally, I will become so strong, and then stand in front of you confidently and smile at you.

Anson Deer lowered his head and exhaled a deep breath of turbid white hot air.

The cold wind of Norway gently blows on the cheeks of the young boys and girls, and their figures are so small in the wind and snow.

"I don't accept your apology."

"That's right." Anson Deer said self-deprecatingly, "I know."

"Rather, I should say thank you. How could I blame you? So I don't accept your apology." Asuka said with a snort.

"ah?"

Uesugi Asuka thought for a moment and chuckled, "Well, in that case, I also want to thank the principal. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met you."

Anson Deer stood there in a daze, staring at her blankly.

Asuka wrapped her red scarf tightly, opened her mouth in the cold wind, and her eyes were as bright as a bluebird in spring.

"The life after I met you is the happiest period of my life since I was born."

"I'm not excluded, I'm not hated, I'm not discriminated against. I'm surrounded by weirdos like me. Even in front of you, I don't seem so weird anymore."

"I'm really happy, so I'm not only grateful to you, I'm also very grateful to the principal. No matter which one of you, you let me have this kind of life, so I don't hate it."

Asuka Uesugi's eyes became red when she said this. "Then, I have something to say to you."

"What?" Anson asked in a low voice.

"You've helped me so much, and I've caused you so much trouble." Asuka paused, lowered her head and asked, "I'm not qualified to like you, right?"

Anson Deer was stunned again, his brown pupils shrank, and he couldn't utter a word.

This was the first time he heard Asuka speak in this tone.

A person with such a domineering character, such self-confidence, and such a strong self-esteem suddenly lowered his head and spoke such self-deprecating and cowardly words in a tone that was almost begging for mercy.

"I'm really greedy. I'm already very happy that you're by my side as a friend. I've never been so happy before, but I still want to go further."

"Chu Qimo said that I am not the kind of person who is timid and I have avoided you enough these days."

"If I don't speak out, I will definitely regret it. I will regret it for the rest of my life. After all, I don't know when I will die. If I die tomorrow, I will definitely regret not speaking out today."

When the girl said this, she took a deep breath of air, her brown hair swaying in the wind, her eyes slightly red, and her voice was so soft that it was completely unlike the person Anson Lu knew.

"So, before I give up, I want to make these words clear to you." Asuka Uesugi slowly raised her head and looked directly at Anson Lu with tearful eyes: "I like you, Anson Lu."
