Chapter 210 Christmas Legend Chess Set
[Completed the fourth investigation task - "Investigation of Dreamy Christmas". Return to the hot air balloon and settle the final reward.]
【I wish you a happy game. 】
The emotionless reminder tone suddenly rang in the ears of the four travelers.
An Weier received the gift from the principal, and her heart was a little throbbing. But when she raised her head and saw the desolate snow country town, her eyes suddenly became red again.
"Thank you for the gift," the girl murmured.
"You're welcome." The principal smiled lightly and exhaled a breath of cold air.
"So, who are you guys?"
"Uh, it's just the Traveler."
"Can I know your names?"
"My name is Ansen Lu, his name is Jiang Yijie, the shortest one is Mo Xiaoyuan, and the girl with the panda on her shoulder is Tong Muli."
"Well, I've made a note of it. Can I open your gift?"
Anson Lu shrugged, thinking that this NPC girl was really polite. Although she used a cautious tone, she asked questions one after another, which was somewhat difficult to deal with.
"Let's talk about it after I leave." He said with a smile.
"Um."
Anweier nodded slightly, her long, smooth platinum hair made her look like a little snow leopard.
Mo Xiaoyuan put the sniper rifle back into the holster, raised his lazy eyes, confirmed again that Santa Claus was dead, and then looked at the two people beside him.
Jiang Yiji breathed a sigh of relief with a gratified smile on his face; Tong Muli covered her mouth and looked at Anson Lu's back thoughtfully.
"You can go now, Anson Lu." Jiang Yijie said, "We have completed our mission. We have investigated everything that needed to be investigated today. It won't be difficult to fill out the information form when the time comes."
Anson Deer nodded: "Well, let's go."
"It's so tiring." Mo Xiaoyuan sighed, "This is definitely the most tiring instance I've ever played."
"After all, even in the past cooperative challenge dungeons, Xiao Yuan, you would just kill the monsters at a fixed point and then lie down in bed. You have never walked such a long distance." Tong Muli looked at him helplessly.
"So..." Mo Xiaoyuan curled his lips, "I hate this kind of inexplicable dungeon. Isn't it relaxing to kill monsters and sleep? And I have to investigate this and that. It's really annoying."
Before Santa Claus arrived, they had been investigating the town for a whole day and almost couldn't find a place to stay. Fortunately, Anweil's parents took them in.
However, in the process, they also obtained a lot of information - for example, the time in this small town is different from that in the outside world. Yesterday here was December 24th, and today is December 25th, which happens to be Christmas.
"Let's go." Mo Xiaoyuan complained: "Captain, this time when I return to Huanjing, I must have a good vacation. Don't order me around."
"Okay, okay, I won't order you around." Jiang Yijie smiled, turned his head to look at An Wei'er who was all alone, and whispered, "We're leaving, little girl."
"Goodbye." An Weier was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand to them, "Thank you for protecting my town."
"goodbye."
Soon, the figures of the four people disappeared into the distance. They jumped down from the eaves of the attic, flying above the town like Superman, and soon disappeared into the dim twilight.
Anweier's ears suddenly became quiet, and her parents' calls came from the attic.
She exhaled a deep breath, looked at the ruined town, looked at the crying people, and was silent for a long time. She felt so depressed that she felt like her heart was about to break.
"I've been looking forward to this for a long time..." An Weier pursed her lips and said softly, "Year after year, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."
Tears kept falling from the corners of my eyes.
"...Christmas presents, um...I still have presents."
She wiped away her tears, unwrapped the gift box, and opened it. What came into her sight was a bunch of flowers interwoven with snow-white and dark blue. It was so gorgeously beautiful and so cool, like a river rushing in the cold winter, containing a lonely and immortal vitality.
"Thanks, my Santa Claus."
March 6, early morning, an unnamed island in the Pacific Ocean.
The sun has not yet risen, and the moon is as clear as a knife in blue ice. The cold moonlight falls on the earth, covering the white forest. Four figures are walking in the mountains and forests, getting farther and farther away from the only town on the island.
"So...what gift did you give her?" Mo Xiaoyuan asked disdainfully.
"Who knows? I bought it in town with Evolution Coins. They said it was a blind box." Anson Lu played with his phone. "I haven't opened it either. I don't know what's inside."
"So that's how it is..." Tong Muli covered her mouth and snorted, "Senior is so thoughtful. I am even more fascinated by you."
"Forget it." Anson Lu was shocked.
Mo Xiaoyuan murmured, "Giving gifts to NPCs can be considered thoughtful. If they don't go to the hospital, they're already in good shape. This is crazy... This world is really crazy."
"Student Mo Xiaoyuan, did I spend your Evolution Coins to buy the gift?"
"no."
"Then stop talking nonsense." Anson Lu closed his phone and sneezed, "Ah Qiu! It's so cold. My God, I thought Norway and Hokkaido were cold enough. What a crappy place."
He rubbed his shoulders, his face was a little pale from the cold, and his lips were a little purple.
According to the nature of this copy, he naturally could not use the "Christmas sleigh" in this investigation mission, so he could only walk back. Unexpectedly, the distance was not short. It was all because the hot air balloon and airship were parked so far away.
"Let's go back early." Jiang Yijie said, "My other five ancient jade beasts are all sealed, but my ancient jade eagle is not, so we can still release it."
"Captain Jiang, could you please just say it earlier?" Anson Lu was about to pick up his shoe and hit him.
"Captain, aren't you torturing your own people?"
"We can't help it. The Ancient Emerald Eagle isn't big enough and can only carry two people at most. I don't think it's fair to allocate the quota any more. So we just go together."
At this point, Jiang Yijie looked at the three of them and said, "Tell me, who among you..."
"Pick me up."
"I."
Before the captain finished speaking, Ansen Lu and Mo Xiaoyuan raised their hands almost at the same time. Their eagerness to get ahead was like the scene in an elementary school classroom where the teacher asks a question and the students rush to answer.
"Then it's up to you two." Jiang Yijie smiled, "Mu Li, is it okay for you to walk with me for a while?"
"No problem. Xiao Yuan is a lazy dog after all." Tong Muli held his forehead with his hand.
"You're not going to mention your good senior Anson Lu, right?" Mo Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes at her.
"Let's not talk about it."
"That's enough. I'm almost freezing to death, and you guys are still bickering here."
"Here I come."
Jiang Yiji summoned the giant emerald eagle, and Ansen Lu and Mo Xiaoyuan sat on the eagle's back very tacitly. The eagle flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and flew away with their screams.
"Two childish ghosts." Tong Muli smiled lightly.
"Xiao Li, after actually meeting him, what do you think of Anson Lu?" Jiang Yiji changed his tone.
"Hmm... quite interesting." Tong Muli said, "He is indeed different from ordinary people. It must be difficult to get into his heart. I feel that the psychological defense line set up by the seniors is too strict."
"It's like this. Before this, I have asked him many times with the most sincere attitude, and finally got some feedback." Jiang Yiji smiled.
"Captain, you are right. He is the best in the world. He should have some respect. In the Three Kingdoms period, he visited the thatched cottage three times."
"I was worried at first. The world's greatest power was in the hands of a little kid. What would happen to the fate of mankind?"
"But..." Tong Muli walked slowly and continued Jiang Yijie's words: "Captain, after you really got close to him, you no longer had such thoughts, right?"
"Yes, I now understand that this worry is completely unnecessary. Anson Lu is an incredible person." Jiang Yiji said slowly, "He is both contradictory and powerful. This contradiction is the most incredible thing about him, and it is also the trait that the 'Principal' brought to him."
"Hehe, isn't that good?" Tong Muli sighed, "Speaking of which, the senior really missed that principal so much that the code name for this mission was 'Principal'. I was stunned at the time."
"People always know themselves best. If I travel back in time decades later, I will probably be able to grasp my current self. This is not surprising."
"Oops, I can't imagine what the captain will be like in a few decades."
"Why?"
"Because the captain looks old enough now, whether it's the tone of his voice or the attitude he has towards work!"
"Oh... that's true."
Hot air balloon airship, third floor cockpit.
Anson Lu and Mo Xiaoyuan climbed up the gangway to the deck. Out of consideration for the two people behind them, they did not close the gangway. The biting cold wind blew in, like the roar of a wild beast.
"Go fill out that form. I'm going to sleep first." Mo Xiaoyuan's voice was unclear.
"I'm not your father, you don't need to say hello to me before going to bed."
"Okay." Mo Xiaoyuan scratched his messy hair. He was too sleepy to even have the energy to talk back. He walked directly into the elevator and pressed the 'second floor' button on the panel.
The elevator door slowly closed, and Anson Lu walked into the cab.
The investigation phase of the last mission has ended, but there is still one task left, which is to complete the data sheet of the cab and report the detailed information observed.
Anson Deer took the information sheet and pen, turned to the specific page related to "Dream Christmas", and began writing quickly.
He suddenly recalled that a few months ago, he was still an ordinary student, sitting in the classroom filling out test papers and doing the "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation". On the blackboard in the classroom was written "Struggle changes destiny, and college entrance examination determines life". All the extracurricular books on the bookshelf were taken away by the teacher. The classmates sighed, and the head teacher said that the senior year of high school must study hard and focus on it.
At that time, everything was peaceful and calm, with mottled shadows of trees shining through the windows, casting shadows on the serious faces of the students. Anson Lu often held his chin in his hand and stared blankly during class, tilting his cheek to feel the warmth of the sun, while lower grade students were playing and fighting on the playground.
He was still thinking, if only he could go back to the first year of high school, the pressure would not be as great as the third year of high school, and the classroom would be dead silent. But he did not expect that when he came back to his senses, the world had become hideous and full of holes.
"After get off work..." Anson Lu was in a daze and finished filling out the data form unconsciously. He put down the pen and said deeply: "My brother's sequence copy is finally completed."
[The information form has been completed and is being graded based on the accuracy and completeness of the information...]
[The evaluation has been completed. The accuracy of the data for the investigation task "Dream Christmas" is 100% (flawless).]
[All investigators have returned to the hot air balloon. The number of survivors this time is: 4 (all). Based on the performance of the investigators, the general rewards for this mission are calculated. The rewards are as follows.]
[1. 50,000 Evolution Coins, 50,000 Experience Points.]
[2. Santa Claus's red hat*10 (red tide grade material), Santa Claus's gift bag*10 (red tide grade material), Christmas reindeer's horns*30 (legend grade material). ]
[The following is a system prompt tone that only you can hear. 】
[In this investigation mission, the rewards unique to the "Old Chess Player" sequence are as follows. ]
[1. Chess creation scroll - Santa Claus*1 (Red Tide-level chess)]
"Here it comes, finally." Anson Lu had expected it, and murmured, "Sure enough, the level is not low, otherwise how can it be called the main C chess piece of 'Christmas Legend'."
A red tide-level chess game.
Although it will most likely be replaced by Black Moon-level and End-level pieces by the time of the World Boss battle, it does not affect the fact that this is one of the things Anson Deer needs most at this stage.
The system prompt sound continued, which meant that Anson Deer could get more rewards.
[2. Chess Type - Christmas Girl Anweier*1 (low-level chess type) (This chess type is a special reward obtained by the player after triggering a hidden event, and the probability of obtaining it is extremely low)]
"Anweir..." Anson Lu raised his eyebrows, and the face of the white-blonde girl flashed through his mind. "Oh, it's her... Then I'm really lucky. I didn't expect such an event to exist."
But no matter what, this girl is just a low-level chess piece and will probably not be able to play any role - unless she is also a member of the "Christmas Legend Chess Group" and has a corresponding bond with Santa Claus.
Anson Lu didn't check his chess skills for the time being, he just wanted to have a good rest.
Even if Santa Claus and Santa Girl's panels were terrible, the rewards from this sequence copy were much better than he expected.
Before entering the dungeon, he had never thought that he would be able to obtain a chess piece with unlimited upgrades. Apart from this, the rest were just icing on the cake, and it was a blessing to get it, and it was a light loss.
And, the most important thing is that we reached a consensus with Jiang Yiji.
This is equivalent to establishing a cooperative relationship with the Chinese government. All that needs to be done next is to wait for the influence of public opinion to fade away and rely on the power of the government to re-enter the people's attention.
[Leaving the dungeon in twelve hours, please be prepared and bring your belongings with you. I wish you a happy game~]
The system prompt sounded, and Anson Lu slowly walked out of the cab and took the elevator back to the second floor.
In the elevator, he opened his friend list and confirmed the online status of several members of the guild - they had all left the dungeon and returned to the city, but he was the last one to arrive after a long time.
"Well, those idiots seem to be fine. That's enough." Anson Lu raised the corners of his mouth tiredly, feeling very satisfied.
