Chapter 258 Trying to Describe the Future

With the end of the ninth round of copies, Anson Deer's level reached 43. He is now only 2 levels away from the advanced trial requirements of the fourth-level Old Chess Player. I believe that he can achieve it by the end of the tenth round of copies.

At the same time, time has taken another step forward.

The tenth round of dungeons will begin on April 15th, and the eleventh round of dungeons will begin on April 30th.

After that, the twelfth round of dungeons will begin, which is the world boss battle located in Tokyo, Japan, and will officially begin on May 15, 2026.

This is the final battle in the game, concerning the fate of all mankind and even the entire planet.

Because it took Ritsu Urushihara two hours to clear the dungeon, and Ryukan Town was not chosen as a 'location for setting up the dungeon', they returned to Ryukan Town on the first day.

At this time, other players were still fighting hard in the dungeon, but the two of them had already started their vacation. After fully upgrading the chess type, Anson Deer had nothing to do.

He had the key, so he simply rested at Yuri's house.

Her room was filled with paint trays, drawing boards, and unfinished paintings. Beside the bed stood an ice-blue flower, the flower of the ice field that Anson Lu had brought back from the small town in the sequence copy for her.

"Natasha, what do you think of her painting?" Anson Lu sat on the bed, slightly raising the corners of his mouth.

The stone statue of the queen appeared in response. After being promoted to a legendary chess player, she, like the alien kangaroo, had the authority to appear and disappear at any time.

Presumably, as chess players with infinite advancement grow, they will have such authority. After all, on the Titanic, before the principal summoned Sistoria, Sistoria had already come to his side.

Although Natasha was born in the slums, after meeting the King of Baifoya, she received higher education in the court of the Baifoya Kingdom, in which art was an indispensable part.

With such experience, her aesthetic taste is naturally impeccable, otherwise she would not be worthy of the title of princess.

Natasha stood next to Anson Deer with her hands behind her back, her purple eyes silently looking at the surrounding paintings. Many of the paintings Yuri drew were the scenery of Shangshi Town and Liukan Town in his memory, as well as the ski resort in Hokkaido, the endless snow trails and the white pine forest. Anson Deer was also deeply impressed by it, so he recognized it at a glance.

Yuri often paints the same scene twice, adding different details, such as the snow on the snow track has completely faded, and the branches of the trees are slowly swaying in the autumn wind.

“The lines are clean and the sense of space is very precise, but the overall brushstrokes are too light, giving people a hazy and empty feeling.” Natasha said, “It’s like… I want to firmly grasp the images in my mind, but I know that they will disappear with the passage of time sooner or later, so I want to use the tip of the pen to try to depict the future, a future that does not belong to me.”

Anson Lu held his chin, slowly restrained the smile on his face, and slightly opened his lips:

“It’s so lonely…this feeling.”

"Lonely..." Natasha lowered her head and pondered.

"Speaking of which, Natasha." Anson Deer changed the subject: "I don't know if I can see you again after the Evolution Game is over. Maybe by then we will have completely parted ways."

"If possible, I would like to serve you forever."

"No, no, no, if we never see each other again, I hope you can live freely and happily in your own world." Anson Lu said softly: "Let go of all the things in the past. There is no need to keep blaming yourself because of those things. People live in the present."

“…Yes, as you command.”

Two days passed quickly, and on April 3rd, all members of the union returned safely.

Anson Lu rested in Yuri's wooden house and helped her clean the room. He put the messy painting collections, game consoles and books neatly in order, making it look much more organized.

Yuri had just come back, and Anson Deer's figure suddenly came into her sight. He was sitting on the bed playing Minesweeper. She didn't even raise her head, but waved at him with a smile on her face.

That day, Anson took her to Disneyland for an experience, which overturned her wrong impression of Disneyland. The Disneyland replica in Paris, France, had left her with an overly eccentric illusion.

They didn't wear sunglasses or masks, nor did they use any props to change their appearance. They came to Disneyland openly and swaggeringly, like two penguins from Antarctica visiting the human world, completely unconcerned about other people's eyes.

Yuri had a lot of fun.

She took a lot of photos. Anson Lu once asked her why she needed to take photos when she had hyperthymesia. She just said softly that photos can be left in this world, but memories cannot.

At dusk, the roller coaster slowly descended from the top of the track in the afterglow. The screams of the passengers hit the eardrums directly. Yuri's snow-white hair was blown by the wind, and Anson's hair was also messy.

When the roller coaster just started, a couple sitting in the front, the girl tightly grabbed the boy's arm. They shouted above the amusement park with smiles on their faces.

In contrast, Anson Deer and Yuri's faces were very calm. Yuri's clear eyes were looking at the sun in the sky, while Anson Deer took advantage of the gap before the train started to fire a minesweeper.

He had no interest in roller coasters. After all, he and Yuri had never seen any storms or big waves. For them, riding a roller coaster was really a bit petty. However, with the ambition of experiencing all the projects on a rare trip to Disneyland, they waited in line for half an hour and finally got a seat.

Anson Lu originally thought that the 4D cinema was torture enough, as he had to be splashed with water for no apparent reason while watching a cartoon. But when he got on the roller coaster, he couldn't help feeling sleepy.

But when the roller coaster actually started, both of them became interested again. Although they appeared indifferent, they secretly looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes, as if they wanted to see if the guy sitting next to them would be scared.

Sometimes...it's not the thing you do that matters, it's the people you do it with.

The roller coaster drove out of the tunnel, the setting sun sank into the horizon, and the night slowly enveloped this dim world like a curtain. The screams of the crowd seemed to be a backdrop to the falling night, and the cheeks of the boys and girls were replaced by darkness at this moment. But when the colorful lights of the amusement park shone on them, they turned their heads at the same time and met each other's eyes.

On April 15, the tenth round of dungeons began.

When it comes to the copy selection space, Anson Deer still only has two copies to choose from. The first copy on the panel is a team confrontation copy, which basically means that the second copy is a survival exploration copy.

In fact, he could have waited for other members of the guild to invite him, but he still chose the second copy, which limited the number of people to two.

Anson Deer used the invitation function and sent an invitation to one of the members of the union.

After the other party accepted the invitation, he pressed his palm on the panel, and the copy panel gradually glowed. As his eyes went dark, he entered the copy.
