Chapter 37 Return to the Royal City

Anson Lu raised his heavy eyelids and saw the room in front of him was dim. No lights were on, but the moonlight shone through the window and flowed on the ground like mercury.

"You're awake."

Ritsu Urushihara leaned against the window, quietly flipping through a Bible with a black cover in the bright moonlight.

Anson Deer got up from the bed and rubbed his eyes, "Crow, how late is it now?"

"It's 11:55 p.m., and there are five minutes left. Today's crusade is over." Urushihara Ritsu flipped through the pages of the book and said calmly, "There is no bad news from Adel and Yu Mingdao. Tonight's crusade went smoothly."

"It's only five minutes away from being over. I'll just consider it a day of fishing..." Anson Lu lay back on the bed and muttered, "Well, I won't fight the boss today anyway."

"It's okay. There's no need to rush." ​​Urushihara Ritsu lowered his eyes and brushed the words on the page with his right hand. "The later we challenge, the higher our chances of winning."

Ghost in Hokkaido, the time limit of this dungeon is one week. They entered the dungeon at dusk on December 15th, so dusk on December 21st is the deadline to defeat the Boss.

In other words, the ghost general of the sea city must be defeated at midnight on December 21st.

That is the players' last chance. If they want to defeat the Boss most safely, they should wait until the last day to start the challenge. This way, the players' overall level will be much higher than it is now.

Soon... a cold reminder sound rang out.

[It is midnight, the sea city is open to the public, players can go to the port to challenge the dungeon boss, or take a rest. ]

[Currently remaining challenge opportunities: 1]

Anson Deer asked, "Where is the Icelandic girl?"

"I don't know. She always does things her own way." Urushihara Ritsu said, "By the way, she left a hundred evolution coins with me and said she would give them to you when you wake up."

Anson Lu then remembered that Yuri still owed him one hundred evolution coins, which was the stakes of the chess game. "Oh my god, she really keeps her word. One hundred evolution coins is not a small amount, right?"

"It's normal to accept defeat."

Ritsu Urushihara initiated a transaction request to Anson Lu and dragged one hundred evolution coins onto the panel.

[Ryu Urushihara initiates a transaction request with you. The other party’s requirements: None; the other party’s transaction capital: 100 Evolution Coins.]

Anson Lu accepted the transaction request, and heard the sound of gold coins rustling.

[Your current total number of evolution coins is: 630]

"Okay, let's have a good sleep." Anson Lu collapsed on the bed and covered his forehead with his arms.

"By the way, there is something I need to talk about." Urushihara Ritsu said, "I told you before that when the system matched her with a special sequence, it selected three traits: hyperamnesia, lack of emotions, and ice skating expert."

Anson Deer asked in confusion, "So what happened?"

"I confirmed it with her in person." Urushihara Ritsu said slowly, "She lied when she talked about the last item."

Lying? The skater? Why?

Anson Lu felt a little puzzled and asked:

"How do you know she lied?"

"I have lived in an environment where I have to lie every day and every night for fifteen years." Urushihara Ritsu said calmly:

"My sensitivity to lies is far beyond your imagination, Lu Jun. I am very sure that she lied."

"Well, why did she lie? What's there to lie about?" Anson Lu spread his hands.

"I don't know either. I only know that the first two are correct. The symptoms of hyperthymesia and lack of emotions do exist. But what exactly the last one is, I'll investigate it after the copy is out."

"Is it necessary? Can't you just ask her directly?"

"She won't answer because that's just who she is." Urushihara Ritsu paused and took a sip of water from the cup. "Besides, she won't join our union. She explicitly refused once."

"Why?"

"I think what she's hiding might be the reason."

"That's enough. I think I just don't want to be with a charlatan like you..." Anson Lu twisted his stiff neck with his hands and said nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter. If she doesn't want to join, we can just find someone else. Three special professional players appeared in one instance, which means that special sequences are not that rare.

The most important thing is... with your ability as the ultimate great charlatan, are you still afraid that you won't be able to fool people?"

"I just feel regretful..." Urushihara Ritsu closed the Bible and laughed at himself, "But it's true. Take a rest. You'll be busy these few days."

…………

…………

A night in silence.

After that, on December 18th and December 19th, the players in the dungeon followed a fixed process to kill monsters. As the efficiency of the crusade increased, the speed at which players leveled up also increased.

Except for the night when they kill monsters, they will gather together during the day to practice a set of corresponding tactics based on the 'Ghost General Skill Demonstration Video' that Urushihara Ritsu had recorded before.

The commander is undoubtedly Anson Deer.

After all, Anson Lu is not only the captain of this special team of three players, but also has the bird's-eye view brought by "Chess King", which enables him to have a bird's-eye view of the overall situation in the boss battle and not miss any details.

In order to further consolidate the persuasiveness of his command, Anson Deer also demonstrated his God's perspective in front of all the players.

He asked nearly forty players to find a place to stand in the chessboard, and he closed his eyes and described their clothes, appearance, small movements, etc. one by one in a calm and indifferent tone...

This move directly elevated Anson Deer to a near-god-like status in the hearts of those players.

By December 20, the levels of the nearly fifty players in the dungeon had reached an average of level 3.

Among them are Jun Maruyama and Minoru Iwata, two members who joined the team midway.

Yu Mingdao and Adel did not let the two men run away. They seemed to have awakened and performed very well in the crusades every night. They climbed to a relatively superior position among the ordinary players.

Anson Deer's level is at the top level 5 in the entire copy. This is a gap in the ladder. No one except him can reach this level in such a short time.

Urushihara Ritsu and Yuri are slightly inferior, both of them are at level 4.

The time came to 12 o'clock in the evening of December 20th.

Every time this point comes, the system prompt sound rings as punctually as London's Big Ben.

[It is midnight, the sea city is open to the public, players can go to the port to challenge the dungeon boss, or take a rest. ]

[Currently remaining challenge opportunities: 1]

That night, all the players in Sapporo gathered at the port.

The city standing on the deep black sea slowly opened its gates to the outside. The majestic giant shadow was still sleeping in the center of the palace, waiting for the arrival of the challenger.

Anson Deer stretched lazily, his dark brown eyes fixed on the huge shadow in the castle, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Hey, big guy, here I come again."

[Boss Name: Ghost General]

[Boss Level: Lv8]

[Boss Killing Rewards: Rare Materials, Huge Evolution Coins, Unknown Rewards (After killing the Boss, rewards will be distributed based on the player's damage panel. Players with higher damage percentages will receive richer rewards)]
