Chapter 52: Relaxing Time
Anson Lu put his hand on his chin. "Once the little V is attached to a chess piece, it will not only improve the properties of the chess piece, but also enhance the power of the weapon..."
According to the prompt, the original agility attribute of the Queen Statue was 15 points. After Little V attached her dagger, her agility increased from 15 points to 20 points.
Anson Lu opened the chess type panel and checked the properties of the 'Queen's Statue'.
[Chess name: Queen Stone Statue]
[Chess type attributes: Strength - 10 points; Agility - 20 points (originally 15 points); Intelligence - 10 points]
"Sure enough, the only thing that was enhanced was agility, which is the main attribute of the Queen's statue." Anson Lu murmured, "In other words, Little V can improve the main attribute of the attached chess species."
He looked at the attributes of "Little V" again.
[Chess type name: Lion-beast type adaptive equipment - V1594]
[Chess type attributes: Strength - 5 points; Agility - 5 points; Intelligence - 5 points]
"In other words, it is equivalent to adding Little V's agility to the Queen's stone statue." Anson Lu thought, "Then as long as the level of Little V is increased, its attributes will increase, and it will be able to provide more attributes to other chess types in the future."
Anson Lu looked at Xiao V's skill introduction again.
[Chess Skill - Adaptive Transformation (This chess skill can be attached to any chess skill, or to the old chess player himself, thus transforming into a brand new weapon, or transforming the weapon that comes with the chess skill itself) (Cooling time: 5 minutes)]
"It has a five-minute cooldown. It won't be possible to flexibly switch the object of attachment during battle."
Anson Lu raised his eyebrows. He began to wonder, if he let Little V attach to the cannon statue, and then let the cannon statue explode after firing, would the damage be much higher...
Little V seemed to be aware of Anson Deer's thoughts and made an unhappy "wow" sound.
Two pieces of metal jumped out of the dagger of the queen's stone statue and merged into a little black lion again, jumping on the ground.
"Wait for me, I'm going to buy some food." Anson Deer looked at the little lion jumping up and down and couldn't help but smile, "Don't leave the room, this is my order."
After saying that, he left the room, took out a hundred yuan for living expenses from the drawer, and walked to the nearby 24-hour supermarket.
The chess type panel has been mentioned before - giving chess types their favorite food or gifts can increase their favorability to a certain extent.
So, Anson Lu carefully selected the food, bought cake desserts for the queen statue, and bought Dorayaki for Little V.
He didn't know why he thought Xiao V would like Dorayaki.
Maybe after watching "Doraemon", I thought that the mechanical cat would like Dorayaki, so the mechanical lion should be similar.
"Go, Doraemon, use the skill - Adaptive Transformation."
Anson Lu was carrying a shopping bag, walking aimlessly on the deserted street in small steps, talking nonsense.
"By the way, is the stone statue of the queen a one-to-one life-like figurine? Those otaku classmates must be so envious of me." He put his hand on his chin, thinking seriously about the boring question.
"I think so."
Only on such a cold winter night, when a person is walking alone on the deserted street... will he remember that he is only 17 years old, not a savior, does not need to be blamed by others, and does not need to be placed with so much hope and faith.
The cool wind blowing on his cheeks made him sober up a lot.
However, the winter temperature in Hokkaido is much lower than that in Kamishi City. After a trip to Sapporo City, he no longer feels cold after coming back, but feels comfortable all over.
The first card I drew was an epic chess piece, and it was a cute little guy.
Moreover, Anson Lu had always wanted to have a cat, but his financial situation did not support it. The appearance of this chess piece made up for his regret. This was the happiest night for him in the past few days.
As he walked, he suddenly thought of Urushihara Ritsu and Yuri. He wondered what the Japanese middle school boy and the Icelandic girl with no identity were doing at this moment.
"Oh, right, the upgrade conditions for the Queen's statue should be met. I almost forgot."
Anson Deer raised an eyebrow and summoned the panel.
[Chess name: Queen Stone Statue]
[Chess type upgrade requirements: 100 evolution coins, 30 rare materials]
It just so happened that Anson Lu obtained 30 rare materials - General's Broken Blades - in the battle against the BOSS Ghost General. As long as these 30 materials are used, the Queen's statue can be upgraded to level 2.
He hurried back to the apartment and opened the bedroom door.
The stone statue of the queen was leaning against the wall, flipping through a book. The title of the book was written on the cover - "The Outsider". This was a book by Camus. Anson Lu liked this book very much, so he put it next to the bed and read it whenever he had time.
“Ah, this…”
Noticing Anson's deer coming back, the Queen's statue paused while turning the pages of the book.
She quickly put the book back under the pillow, put her slender arms behind her, lowered her noble head, and looked like she was confessing.
"Don't worry about me, just read if you want." Anson Lu put down the shopping bag and stretched lazily, "Although you may not understand it, Chinese characters are still quite complicated."
The stone statue of the queen nodded slightly, remaining motionless like an ice sculpture.
[Queen's statue, your favorability increases by 10 points]
[Current Favorability: 20 points]
"Where's Xiao V? I bought this for you, come out quickly!"
Anson Lu took out a Dorayaki from the shopping bag, opened the wrapping paper, and dragged the Dorayaki in his hand helplessly.
“Ouch—”
The next moment, a black shadow rushed out from behind the bookshelf, snatched the Dorayaki with unstoppable force, and lay on the ground, chewing it carefully.
[Lion-type adaptive device - V1594, your favorability increases by 20 points]
[Current Favorability: 23.5 points]
"So easy to fool." Anson Lu laughed, "I hope you won't be tricked by other players with food. Don't be a slacker when the fight comes."
He took out a strawberry cake from the shopping bag and handed it to the silent statue of the queen.
"Here, this is for you."
The queen's statue hesitated for two seconds, the blue flames in her slender eye sockets slightly trembling. She leaned forward slightly to salute, took the strawberry cake stiffly, and cut open the wrapping paper with her sharp nails.
Oh my god, it's so convenient... Anson Lu was shocked, "These nails are probably sharper than a knife. Is this the queen who can kill a hundred people?"
In the background story of this chess piece, the queen was picked up by the king in the slums.
The queen was just a girl at that time, but she had eyes as cold as a cold cave. Judging from the background of the story, it is estimated that at that time, the queen had already mastered various assassination methods.
Back to reality, the stone statue of the queen tilted her cheek and savored the cake bite by bite.
[The Queen's statue increases your favorability by 25 points]
[Current Favorability: 45 points (unlock new skills when Favorability reaches 100)]
Anson Lu sat cross-legged on the floor, looking at the "Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Simulation" on the table, flipping through it casually. He went through all the questions in the basic question bank, and he might have made mistakes on other questions, but he did not miss a single multiple-choice question.
Every time, he would apply his chess mindset to thinking about the problem seriously, and even if he chose the answer based solely on his intuition, he basically never made a mistake, not even once.
Anson Lu suddenly remembered what the principal said - "Trust your intuition, it can take you very far."
"Principal, who are you?"
He held his chin and murmured nonchalantly, "Forget it, let's upgrade first."
Anson Deer summoned the chess type panel of the queen statue and chose to upgrade on the panel.
[100 Evolution Coins and 30 rare materials have been consumed]
[Your Evolution Coin Balance: 420 pieces, your rare material - General's Broken Blade has been used up]
[The Queen's stone statue has been upgraded to level 2 (level 3 is the highest level of this chess type), and its comprehensive attributes have been improved. It has not yet acquired new skills. ]
He checked the properties panel of the queen's statue again.
[Chess name: Queen Stone Statue]
[Chess type attributes: Strength - 12 points; Agility - 18 points; Intelligence - 12 points]
"Not bad, this level up is worth it." Anson Lu nodded and said thoughtfully:
"In theory, as long as the monsters in the next dungeon are not too big, as long as Little V attaches to the Queen Statue, and then lets the Queen Statue use 'Hundred Man Kill' on the monsters in the dungeon, it should be possible to directly harvest a large area with full health."
After finishing a series of things, Anson Lu put the two chess pieces back into the chess library, went to the bathroom to wash up, and changed into school uniform.
"That's it for today. We've done what needs to be done."
He yawned, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Next, I'll have to wait for the second round of dungeons on the 24th. I hope I won't be queued to a place that's too outrageous. I don't want to go to Siberia to fight monsters..."
Anson Lu turned off the lights and was about to take a rest when a message alert sounded from his friend list.
"Who is it? It's so late..."
I opened my friend list and saw a message from Urushihara Ritsu.
Anson Lu opened the dialogue panel. He thought that this guy should be staying in Tokyo Prison after leaving the dungeon. Unless he reached a cooperation with the government, there was a high probability that he would not be able to get out.
[Ritsuki Urushihara requests a video call with you, do you accept? 】
"No way, video chatting with me in prison?" Anson Lu was shocked.
