Chapter 26: Attacked from both sides
The system prompt sounded, and the Oni Samurai in the White Lover Chocolate Factory were basically cleared out. When Anson Lu saw that there were no other Oni Samurai approaching this side for the time being, he released the chess domain.
Anson Lu sat down on the wooden bench and called out the career panel, "Career panel."
The panel popped up, and he turned directly to the second page of "Extraordinary Chess Library" and pointed his finger at the latest chess piece he had just obtained - the Queen's Stone Statue.
This is the last piece of the Green Flame Stone Statue Chess Set. A stone statue chess set without the queen is definitely incomplete.
This type of chess is to the entire chess set as a cane is to a blind person, and it can greatly increase the strength of the entire chess set.
At this point, both bonds have been activated, and this chess set can finally unleash its true power.
"I hope the 'Blue Rainbow' bond can give me a surprise..." Anson Deer murmured, "Another ability of the King Statue? Will it be a buff-type ability?"
[Chess name: Queen Stone Statue]
[Chess level: Level 1 (the highest potential of this chess type is - Level 3)]
[Chess quality: rare]
[Chess Skill: Hundred-Man Killer (teleport to the back of a nearby target and assassinate it with a dagger. If the target dies, the skill will not enter cooldown and the Queen Statue can be used again)]
"Fuck, the queen is actually an assassin?" Anson Lu was stunned. "And her skill is called Hundred Killer Kill. This setting is too magical."
[Chess type upgrade requirements: 100 evolution coins, 30 rare materials]
【Chess description:
No one knew the queen's origin, no one knew her past, but everyone in the royal family was in awe of her ruthless methods.
Rumor has it that the king met the queen in the slums. The queen was only twelve years old at that time. Her eyes were as cold as the Siberian winter. The king picked her up.
Everyone knows that the reason why the king was later called the 'Puppet King' was entirely because his queen was too outstanding and controlled everything in the country through the king. 】
[Chess type holding limit: hold one piece]
[Chess species favorability: 0 (Only chess species with a limited number of shares will have a favorability system. When the favorability reaches 100, the chess piece will gain a new skill)]
"I finally have a rare chess piece..." Anson Lu closed the panel, "and it has skills, which is probably a hundred times better than a blank one."
There were so many things he wanted to complain about, but now was not the time.
After all, Anson Deer still has to race against time to continue hunting the Ghost Warriors and get a high enough kill count within an hour and a half. The higher the kill count, the higher the recognition of his command by the players in the dungeon.
"A first-level Old Ones chess player can place a maximum of eight chess pieces on the field. There are five chess pieces on the field now, and there are three positions left..."
Anson Deer thought in his heart.
“If you want to fully unleash the power of the Blue Flame Stone Statue chess set, you must occupy six positions and have six chess pieces on the field at the same time.
This leaves two positions left. Later, I can take out two more powerful pieces from the chess bag and use them with the stone statue chess set, so that the last two positions will not be wasted."
It is worth noting that every time a chess piece is destroyed or forcibly taken back, it must be used again after 30 minutes.
"Forced recall" means forcibly taking the chess pieces back from the field to the chess base; if the chess game ends normally, all the chess pieces will naturally return to the chess base, and it will not be counted as forced recall.
Therefore, Anson Deer will basically be very careful not to let the chess pieces be destroyed, and it is even more impossible to take back the chess pieces.
After all, with the number of chess pieces in his current chess library, he hasn't even filled up the eight chess squares available to a first-level old-time chess player, let alone changing the chess type during a battle, which is simply creating something out of nothing.
At this moment, Anson Lu had only one thought in his mind.
"Let's finish this crappy dungeon, I really want to draw a card!"
"No, I really want to draw the chess pieces!"
…………
…………
With the end of the ten-minute cooling time of "Chess Domain", Anson Lu no longer had to continue facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes.
His top priority now is to change the place to spawn monsters and experience: 1. The individual strength of the Queen Statue; 2. The new ability of the King Statue after activating the "Qinghong" bond of the chess group.
"Logically speaking, now it should be one knife per kid."
Anson Lu walked on the streets of Sapporo, repeatedly confirming the effect of the bond with the profession panel.
The effect of [King and Queen] is that when the stone statue of the king and the stone statue of the queen are present at the same time, the health and damage of both are increased by 50%.
The effect of [Blue Rainbow] is that when all six chess pieces are on the field, the King Statue gains an additional ability.
If the King Statue still has no attack capability after triggering [Blue Rainbow], then the damage enhancement effect of [King and Queen] will be meaningless to it.
Therefore, Anson Lu can conclude that the "Blue Rainbow" bond adds an offensive ability to the king's statue.
"Is it so awesome?"
Anson Deer raised an eyebrow and stopped in curiosity.
He could see Yu Mingdao leading the 23-man team, hunting ghost warriors on a nearby street. They were divided into several teams according to their professions - warrior team, mage team, archer team, and priest team.
As for the profession of assassin, no one is interested in it.
Probably because of previous experience, everyone has a prejudice against this profession, thinking that firstly, it is not as durable as a warrior, and secondly, it has to fight in close combat, so the tolerance rate is too low.
However, if you really want to see the potential of this profession, you have to wait until you change jobs.
"Warrior squad, war cry, collapse, and quickly distance yourself!"
"Archer squad, accumulate energy arrows and wait for the warrior squad to move away before shooting!"
"Mage, use the Wind Spell to help the warrior team retreat, and then use the Fireball Spell to clean up the mess!"
Yu Mingdao loudly commanded the teams divided by profession.
The opponent is a five-headed ghost warrior.
It is very similar to the team-based crusade process in ordinary online games: the warrior is responsible for pulling the monsters, gathering them together, and then using the "battle cry" to stun them one by one, and finally letting other professions use their skills to output and finish off the battle.
The priest team is responsible for healing the warrior team, and their presence is also very important. If there were no priest profession, the number of players dying would be at least half more.
"Oh, it looks pretty good..."
Anson Lu looked a little surprised. There was a reason why Yu Mingdao could become the captain.
At this moment, their battle ended. Yu Mingdao turned his head slightly and seemed to notice the existence of Anson Deer.
"How can you be discovered even if you're standing so far away?"
The corner of Anson Lu's eye twitched. He didn't expect Yu Mingdao to be so perceptive.
Yu Mingdao looked at Anson Lu from a distance, confusion written all over his face.
They are open competitors, but it is simply incomprehensible that Anson Lu just stood quietly on the street and watched them fight against the ghost warriors.
Yu Mingdao frowned in confusion, walked closer to Anson Deer, and asked:
"If you don't go kill monsters, don't you plan to compete with us?"
"I killed them." Anson Lu said, "Just now, I killed thirteen ghost warriors."
Yu Mingdao was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"Since you said so, let's take it as true."
"Whatever you think." Anson Lu replied calmly. He was too lazy to prove anything.
The evolution game has just begun, and the imagination of these ordinary players is still very limited. They don’t know that the monsters that so many talented people fought desperately to kill can only last two seconds in front of the old chess players.
Yu Mingdao hugged his shoulders, smiled and said:
"You are from Shangshi, China. We are from the same hometown. I used to go to school in Shangshi, and later I went to work in another place."
"I……"
Anson Lu was about to say something when he suddenly raised his eyebrows. From both sides of the street, strange figures floated up from the ground where moonlight was flowing.
From a distance, their numbers... were as astonishing as a rising tide. These ghost warriors were like a black tide, rushing from the front, back and sides towards the players in the middle of the street.
At this moment, everyone on the street is like a turtle in a jar...
[Triggers a low-probability event—attacked from both sides.]
