Chapter 139: Learning to Become a Complete Person
[Based on comprehensive calculations and testing, the MVP of this Boss battle is: Anson Deer. ]
[The number of players who died in this boss battle is 52, and the number of players remaining in Tokyo is currently 83. ]
[As long as you defeat the boss on the floating island within the remaining three days, this instance will be declared a success.]
[Two beams of light leading to the floating island have appeared in Tokyo's "Ginza Downtown" and "Tokyo Tower". Players are requested to enter the beams in time and go to the floating island to challenge the boss. ]
"More than fifty people died..." Anson Lu put his hand on his chin and said softly, "Not bad, within the acceptable range."
Cosimo's face was gloomy. "It's all my fault for not doing anything."
The only thing he did was to shoot some missiles from the sled and cooperate with Anson Deer to end the life of the giant squid. However, judging from the damage panel, his role was minimal.
"You came to remind me. This is what you did." Anson Deer looked at Cosimo. "Otherwise, if this squid really swallowed up the Rainbow Bridge, our chances of winning would be much lower, and...more people would die."
As the two reindeer stopped, the Christmas sleigh landed, and Anson and Cosimo also landed one after another.
Yuliu walked over slowly, "There's only one boss left."
Kamishiro Ruri put the hilt of the sword into her sleeve, looked towards the huge island in the sky, and said with a smile: "A boss in the sky? That's really interesting..."
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. Let the other players take a break." After a pause, Anseng Lu said without question: "Juliu, Kamishiro Ruri, Cosimo, tell me your skills so that it will be easier for me to command you. Do you have any objections?"
Kamishiro Ruri didn't hesitate, she just covered her face with her fan, "No."
Cosimo also answered decisively: "Then I'll leave it to you to command. It would be good if as few people as possible died. So many people died in today's boss battle..."
"To minimize the number of deaths, is that so..." Ansemulu stared at Cosimo and asked expressionlessly:
"But Cosimo, if you were faced with a choice like this in the next crusade: If you die, you can save fifty ordinary players. Would you die?"
"I..." Cosimo paused for a moment and stammered: "I, of course..."
"Of course what? Of course I'll die?" Anson put his hand on his chin, "That's right, after all, for you, just your life can be exchanged for the lives of many people, it's a great deal.
Well, I hope you won't hesitate when I command you, since so many lives are at stake."
Cosimo stood there in a daze.
"Did you bully the child too much?" Kamishiro Ruri said softly.
"Don't mind me, I was just saying it casually." Seeing that Cosimo had not responded yet, Anshen Lu reached out and rubbed his hair, smiled and said, "Have a good rest, see you tomorrow."
After saying this, Anson Deer walked away.
Yuliu followed Anson Deer silently. He observed Anson Deer's back for a long time and suddenly asked:
"Why are you asking him such a question?"
Anson Lu said nonchalantly: "Just asking casually. If such a situation really happens, shouldn't we reach a consensus with him first?"
"No, I think... you just want to know whether his sense of justice outweighs his fear of death." Yuliu said slowly:
"On that train, he would rather open the door than sacrifice the lives of those two citizens. Obviously, by sacrificing those two citizens, he could ensure that everyone on the train, including himself, would not die."
Anson Lu spread his hands and said, "First of all, he is just a little brat. Secondly, I don't care about the subway incident anymore."
"I don't think you care about that anymore."
"I just need some time to figure out who I am and what choices I should make in the future."
Yuliu hugged his shoulders and said, "Indeed, now you are too lazy to even pretend, which makes you look much more pleasing to the eye. I don't like the playful smile you deliberately put on."
After a pause, he continued:
"However, the facts prove that he is not as noble as you think. He is just a little brat. No matter how noble his sense of justice is, he is vulnerable in the face of his own death."
"...So, people are really complicated, Xiao You." Anson Lu looked up at the sky and said self-deprecatingly:
"Please, it's too difficult for a disabled person like me to learn to become a complete person."
"In fact, I have never understood why 'you', who has almost abandoned humanity and turned into a machine, failed. Then how can you, as a human being, succeed?" Yuliu asked in a deep voice.
He didn't understand from the bottom of his heart. The Anson Lu who maximized every decision had failed. How could the current Anson Lu win?
Anson Lu touched his nose and said, "I don't know. You have to ask that old antique who traveled back from the future."
After a moment of silence, Yuliu took two or three steps closer and patted Anson Deer on the shoulder:
"No matter what, you need to rest well."
"Yeah, let's take a break." Anson Lu bumped Yuliu's shoulder and said calmly, "By the way, Yuliu, do you want to join us in the next round of dungeon?"
Yuliu asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this? Aren't you demanding that all members of the union assemble?"
Anson Deer shrugged, "You should have other ideas, right?"
Yuliu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "I just want to go for a walk alone. Your strength is too strong. I have no chance to hone my skills by your side. I will only become your vassal."
"Okay, then I, as the president, agree to it." Anson Lu nodded and hummed:
"Well, I guess Asuka thinks the same as you, but if we do this, there won't even be five people left in the next round of the dungeon, so I must lure this crying dragon into the dungeon."
"Indeed, Ms. Uesugi is also very strong-willed. Perhaps she has the same idea as me." Yuliu paused and sighed deeply:
"You said that you are indifferent, but in fact, you know the emotions and psychology of the people around you very well. You have a terrifying observation ability and can take into account everyone's thoughts. This is also what I think is very contradictory about you."
Anson Lu put his hands in his pockets and said self-deprecatingly:
"I didn't know I was as good as you said, otherwise I wouldn't have found friends."
"Even though I have been in the underground world for many years, I have never seen someone like you. This has aroused my rare interest, so I chose to follow you."
"Okay, Crow Three, just shut up."
"There is a big difference between me and Crow. I don't appreciate his cynical attitude and playful personality."
"It's okay. Everyone in the Lighthouse thinks he deserves a beating. You're not the only one who thinks so."
"Really? That's good."
Anson Lu waved his hand: "Bye, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Yuliu replied.
The top of Tokyo Skytree at night on January 18.
The official name of Tokyo Tower is Nippon Denpa Tower. It is a red and white iron tower built based on the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is 332.6 meters high.
At night, Tokyo Tower lights up brilliantly, spreading an orange-yellow glow to the nearby streets and tall buildings. The color of the lights changes with the seasons, from white in the summer to orange in the spring, fall, and winter.
Seen from afar, the Tokyo Tower in winter looks extremely lonely and proud. Against the backdrop of falling snow, it presents an aura that is to be admired from afar but not touched.
However, in fact, Tokyo Tower is an open tourist attraction for tourists to visit.
There is a large observation deck at 150 meters of the tower and a special observation deck at 250 meters.
Directly below the tower is the four-story Tokyo Tower, which has an entrance to the observation deck, as well as the Tokyo Tower Aquarium and various souvenir shops.
At this time, Anson Deer was on a special observation deck on the tower.
He stood by the tower railing, holding his chin, and looked down thoughtfully at the brightly lit city of Tokyo with tall buildings. The cool evening breeze brushed across his cheeks, bringing a sense of comfort.
There is a shooting function in the player list, which allows players to take pictures of what they see, record it as a video and send it to friends, or upload it to a mobile phone.
At this moment, Anson Deer was taking pictures of the night scene within his field of vision.
If there was no need, he would not be in the mood to do this. He would probably have collapsed on the bed playing Minesweeper, and when he was tired, he would wash up and go to bed.
The main thing was that Asuka Uesugi suddenly sent a message saying that she hadn't been back to Tokyo for a long time and wanted to see what Tokyo looked like now, so she asked Anseno to send her two photos of Tokyo.
Anson Lu had nothing to do, so he scolded her, "Don't you have hands as a penguin?", "Can't you search for photos of Tokyo on Baidu?" and so on, and then he came to the top of the Tokyo Tower.
"End recording."
Anson Deer stretched and thought so.
[What you see within 60 seconds has been recorded as a video. The video data has been stored in the player's career video library. You can operate in the video library, upload the video to the Internet, play it, watch it, share it with friends, etc.]
He opened Asuka Uesugi's message panel and sent the video he had just recorded.
[Anson Lu: After the filming is done, please treat me to a meal when you get back. ]
After a while, Asuka replied.
[Uesugi Asuka: Wow, the video taken with the game system is so clear, no other camera can produce such an effect.]
[Anson Deer: After all, it is a perfect replica of what the human eye sees, so you shouldn’t thank me for this, right?]
[Asuka: Oh, yes, yes, thank you, my Lord Anson Lu~]
Anson Deer narrowed his eyes and got goosebumps.
[Anson Deer: Tell me, who is pressing your fingers to type? It can’t be Crow, can it? Help me call him an idiot. ]
[Asuka: Ha, don’t you really like those little fans calling you that? ]
[Anson Lu: Little fan? ]
[Asuka: I met Fujimoto Natsuki and Miyamoto Sakurako in the dungeon. They kept talking to me about how handsome 'Anson Deer' was. I almost vomited.]
[Anson Lu: Ha, ha, ha... I just deleted them as my friend. Please don't imitate their speech. It's really embarrassing. ]
[Asuka: Hmm? Why delete it? Isn't it good to have two little fans? ]
[Anson Lu: Go away, you better take care of yourself, otherwise I will imitate your male fans' speech in a few days, and read the essays they wrote for you. ]
【Asuka: What essay? 】
【Anson Deer: Take a video. 】
After Anson Lu finished typing, he initiated a video call request to her.
Asuka Uesugi accepted it quickly. Her beautiful face appeared on the screen, her facial features as delicate as a doll's.
At this moment, she was crooked her eyebrows, with a look of disdain on her face, as if she wanted to see what Anson Deer was up to.
Anson Lu recalled the essay about Asuka fanatics he had read on the Internet. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and spoke with great emotion:
"Xiang Xiang, my Xiang Xiang! My destiny Xiang Xiang! The light of my life! The fire of my blood! My passion! My soul! The proud and delicate Xiang Xiang is the rose that blooms among the thorns... Hey, I haven't finished reading yet, can you hang up?!"
Asuka Uesugi's cheeks turned red instantly. She turned off the video in shock and anger and typed angrily.
【The other party has hung up the video call. 】
[Asuka: Just wait for me, I'm going to recite a passage from the Bible under the "Old Chess Player Bot" too. I'll read it to you in person when you come back!]
[Anson Deer: Sure, I have a thick skin anyway. ]
【Asuka: Get lost! 】
Ansonlu closed the chat panel with a smile. Bullying Asuka was as fun as bullying Cosimo. Both gave him the pleasure of teasing a little brat.
Just then, he received a message from the crow.
[Ritsuhara: Lujun, according to the information I have, the death rate of players in the fourth round of the dungeon is very high. In fact, two members of the law enforcement team have been confirmed dead. Their sequences are - Transcendence Eagle and Ash Warrior.]
[Anson Lu: Damn, these two are both big names in the law enforcement team, how come they died so quickly? ]
[Ritsuhara Urushihara: So, the current situation is not optimistic. You should also pay attention to safety. The average difficulty of the fourth round of cooperative dungeons is much higher than that of the third round.]
[Anson Deer: Haha, I'm almost done here. I'll go back after defeating the boss tomorrow. ]
[Ritsuhara Urushihara: I am just reminding you not to take it lightly. ]
[Anson Lu: It is indeed very difficult. My dungeon is in Tokyo, and I have to defeat two bosses before I can pass it. I defeated the first boss today, and even with me there, more than 50 players still died...]
[Ritsuki Urushihara: Indeed, the difficulty of ordinary cooperative challenge dungeons has been raised, not to mention the capital-level cooperative dungeons.]
[Anson Deer: It’s ok, I’m here anyway. ]
[Ritsuki Urushihara: Are Yuliu and you in the same copy? ]
[Anson Deer: Yes, we are lucky. We are in the same dungeon.]
[Urushihara Ritsu: I see, with him there the winning rate is indeed quite high. ]
[Anson Lu: You are still reliable. If I had information about the boss, I would just stay up right now and listen to your talk about tactics.]
[Ritsuhara: Rather than this, Lu-kun, I am still very curious about what you did some time ago. You disappeared for five days.]
[Anson Deer: Oh, I went to investigate the principal's identity. ]
[Ritsuki Urushihara: The identity of the principal? ]
[Anson Lu: Well, I'll talk to you about this when I get back. It's very complicated.]
The crow paused for a long time before sending the message.
[Ritsuhara Urushihara: Since Lu-kun said so, let's talk about it when we get back. No matter what, we must be careful in the boss battle tomorrow.]
[Anson Lu: I see. Are you my housekeeper? Going to sleep.]
After sending the message, Anson Lu looked down at the brightly lit city. The LED lights on the tall buildings seemed to light up for him, and the neon lights illuminated the lonely streets.
He said softly, "I'm going back tomorrow. I really miss them..."
