Chapter 45 Snowy Night Train
December 21, 4 a.m., Sapporo Beer Garden, Sapporo City, Hokkaido.
Anson Lu took a sip of the wine, it was so bitter that he stuck out his tongue, his face full of disgust. He never drank alcohol, mainly because he was still a minor and his birthday was in two months.
At the dinner party, almost everyone was surrounding him at first, wanting to pick him up and throw him into the sky.
Anson Lu had never seen such a scene before. He really couldn't adapt to such a lively atmosphere, so he simply played with his mobile phone in the toilet for a while. When he came back, he found a secluded corner and sat down by himself.
Despite this, players often come to him and ask for game friends and contact information for social software.
For example, the two Japanese female players: Miyamoto Sakurako and Fujimoto Natsuki, came over with red faces, clamoring to be Anson Deer's "Line" friend.
Anson Lu could only say awkwardly: "Line is for you Japanese people. We Chinese people use WeChat. You can have WeChat friends, but I prefer QQ."
This was a subtle rejection three times in one sentence, and the other party understood and left tactfully.
Urushihara Ritsu gave them the "Line" friends.
Although this gambler advocates minority elitism and has great disdain for 'Muggles', he is very respectful to women.
Many male players came over, but when they saw that Yuri was not there and they couldn't get Anson Lu and Urushihara Ritsu's friends, they left in disgrace.
Yu Mingdao and Adel both drank like crazy.
Yu Mingdao usually looks quite gentle, but he turns out to be quite fierce when it comes to smoking and drinking. It is difficult to describe him with the word "addicted".
Adel, an American, seems to be quite reserved. He is a retired veteran who has undergone strict military management.
Anson Lu sat in a secluded corner, drinking coconut juice with a straw, looking at the bustling world of lights and feasting with an expressionless face.
I turned my head and looked out the window. It was almost dawn.
The sky of Hokkaido was pale as snow kept falling, covering the streets and alleys. Through the hazy fog, the Sapporo TV Tower stood far away and proudly in the center of Odori Park, surrounded by nearby high-rise buildings.
"The dungeon will be out in two hours..." Anson Lu held his chin and glanced at his friend list. "Oh, I haven't asked that Icelandic girl to be my friend yet."
Have you found her yet?
That guy isn't just autistic, he won't hide somewhere I can't find him...
Anson Deer stood up reluctantly, put his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, and walked quickly out of the beer garden restaurant.
Except for Urushihara Ritsu who had just returned from the restroom, everyone in the restaurant was drunk at the moment, and almost no one noticed Anson Lu's movements, let alone stopped him from leaving.
“It’s so cold, is there really anyone who would travel to Hokkaido in winter?”
Anson Lu walked out of the restaurant cursing, put on his hood, hugged his shoulders, walked all the way to the deserted tram station, used five evolution coins to activate the tram, and took the tram to Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort.
“Woo——”
With a rumbling sound, the brightly lit iron dragon gradually disappeared in the white world, disappearing along the railway tracks into the jungle of high-rise buildings. Looking at the port in the distance, layers of sea tides washed the coast.
Anson Lu leaned against a corner of the carriage, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window. He blew a breath of hot air on his hands and rubbed his palms gently.
I'm leaving...
It’s time to go back…
Is it true what happened this week...
Thinking about it now, it's really magical...
You have to be level 10 to create a guild, and it will be almost time to wait until the second copy comes out. I don’t know how long it will take before I see Crow and Yuri again. By the way, will this three-no girl really give me a friend?
After getting off the train, Anson Lu used five evolution coins to open a bus on the roadside and took this "self-driving" bus up the mountain.
There are basically no daily matters in the dungeon that cannot be solved with 5 Evolution Coins.
If yes,
Then invest another 5 Evolution Coins!
By the time we arrived at Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort, almost two hours had passed.
Anson's deer stepped on the snow, one step at a time, and slowly walked into the empty ski resort.
He turned his head and looked at the deep mountains and wild ridges covered in snow. The pine forest on the mountainside was dyed like a white sea. The clustered leaves swayed gently in the wind like the tide, making a rustling sound.
Anson Deer stood in the snowy field, staring at the vast white world in a daze.
This world is too cold and too quiet. Perhaps he would prefer to stay in such an environment rather than in a bustling beer garden restaurant where everyone is hanging out together.
In such a lonely environment, even if I yell, no one will notice me... By the way, isn't that Icelandic girl cold? She's still wearing a white dress in the middle of winter. I've never seen her change her outfit...

The system prompt sound interrupted Anson Lu's scattered thoughts.
The sky has turned white, and thousands of rays of morning light shine through the gaps in the woods, slanting towards the snow-capped mountain, bringing a touch of warmth to the lonely ski resort.
He moved forward, and soon saw a figure in a wooden house that rented ski equipment.
"Oh, what a coincidence." Anson Lu raised his hand that was almost frozen.
Yuri's hand paused for a moment as she was choosing the skis. She turned her head and raised her eyes, which were as clear as the Icelandic aurora, to meet Anson's gaze.
“…”
"I came out for a walk."
"Walking in Sapporo, being able to walk here..." Yuri paused, "This is not a walk, it can be considered as 'sleepwalking'."
Anson Lu's expression froze. He spoke nonsense to ease the awkwardness: "Uh... Lady, we can talk it over. Don't do anything yet. I definitely don't have any bad intentions!"
Indeed, he took the tram and then changed to a bus, and it took him a full two hours to get here.
Seeing that Yuri didn't respond, Anson Lu exhaled a breath of hot air and said sincerely:
"Well, I'm here to see you."
"What do you want to do with me?"
"There's going to be a dungeon, so let's add each other as friends. Otherwise, we might not meet again for hundreds of years."
"It's meaningless and will be deleted."
"Why should I delete you?" Anson Lu asked puzzledly.
"I deleted you." Yuri's voice was cold. She paused and added, "These are not my decisions."
Anson Lu was silent for two seconds, then said, "That's true."
The world is in this state now. Special sequence players like them will most likely be controlled by the government after returning to the city.
When the time comes and he is a famous person in the friend list, it will be difficult for Yuri to explain.
Moreover, judging from Yuri's tone, she should have reached an agreement with the government before entering the instance.
"Okay, it doesn't matter." Anson Lu shrugged, "Then I'll stay here for a while."
Yuri picked up the skis, tilted his head slightly, and asked in a cold voice:
"Skiing?"
"Ah, you must be kidding. We have one minute left before leaving the dungeon." Anson Lu was stunned and said in shock, "I'm afraid half of the people will die."
“That’s right…” The Icelandic girl put down her skis, was silent for a moment, and said:
"Thank you for coming to see me."
"What's there to thank for?" Anson Deer shrank his neck due to the cold, and said in a staccato voice, "I was just bored, and those people forced me to drink, and I can't drink much, so I quickly slipped out."
"oh."
"Yeah." Anson Deer yawned.
The cold wind was howling and snowflakes kept brushing his cheeks. He was really curious, was Yuri really not cold, or were all Icelanders like this, with a very strong resistance to cold.
"We..." Yuri put his hand on his chin, "Should we be considered friends, right?"
Anson Lu was stunned for a moment, "It should be considered, what do you think?"
He really didn't expect that someone would seriously think about such a strange question.
"Well," Yuri released his hand from his chin, and said in a voice still without emotion: "Friend."
"I wouldn't be your first friend, would I?" Anson Lu asked tentatively.
In fact, Anson Lu was quite confident in his speculation. With hyperthymesia and emotional deficiency, it would be strange for this Icelandic girl to have friends in real life.
Yuri opened her mouth slightly and said something thoughtfully, but her voice was covered by the wind and snow, so Anson Deer could not hear it clearly.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"Thanks."
Yuri said softly, her snow-white hair covering her clear eyes. She was completely engulfed by a sudden huge snow fog, her figure lost in the white world.
Anson Lu wanted to say something, but at this moment his vision suddenly went dark and a system prompt sounded in his ears.
