Chapter 201 The Birth of Advanced Chess: Slum Girl - Natasha
March 3, night, hot air balloon airship, hot spring cabin on the third floor.
Anson Lu was soaking in the steaming hot spring. He didn't think about anything, he just closed his eyes and rested.
After a long time, he crawled onto the ground, wrapped in a bath towel and walked into the locker room. Looking in the mirror, he found that he had grown a lot taller - now he was almost 1.82 meters tall.
My height seems to be a little shorter than the principal's... Anson Lu thought unhappily: Haha, the principal is only 1.85 meters tall even when he is about to die. Maybe I can grow taller than him in the future.
In fact, it's not just his height that has changed. His body has also become much thinner, and you can vaguely see the outline of his muscles - no matter what, at least it is much more handsome than his previous bamboo-like body.
As a player of an evolution game, the positive changes brought to him by the attribute improvement are still very obvious.
Anson Lu raised his slender right arm and put on his school uniform jacket. He walked out of the bathhouse while wiping his hair with a towel, and then took the elevator to the second floor of the hot air balloon airship.
On the corridor of the second deck, he could see an oriental girl squatting on the ground, feeding a red panda with bamboo.
"Panda?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Senior! This is my Pokémon, look, look." Tong Muli picked up the panda and said in a cute tone, "It took me a lot of Poké Balls to catch it!"
"Stop making such silly jokes."
"You said it was a boring joke, but I heard from the captain that you used to play Pokémon!" Tong Muli was devastated.
"Does Captain Jiang have a grudge against me?" Anson Lu clicked his tongue. "I'm just helping someone catch some Pokémon. I won't play with you after I catch them."
"I see, seniors are so kind!" Tong Muli clapped her hands and raised her little face proudly, "This is the bamboo shadow panda I summoned with my skills. It can heal continuously and will not die."
Anson Deer took a look at the stupid little panda and said, "So, the existence time of the summoned creature depends entirely on your mana?"
"Yes, Senior, you know a lot."
"If you die, it will die with you, right? Is this also called immortality?"
"Senior, you won't be able to find a girlfriend if you speak so bluntly."
"Is it possible that my girlfriend is more to the point than I am?"
"So, you really have a girlfriend?"
"No." Anson Lu scratched his cheek and said jokingly, "But we have secretly decided to spend our lives together, so it almost counts."
"I won't allow it! The earth is about to be destroyed, and you are still secretly getting married!"
"Then let's not destroy the earth."
"Senior, you are so confident!" Tong Muli gave a thumbs up.
"Actually, I just want to be with her. Saving the world is just a side job."
"That's too corny. And you can even say something like 'saving the world is just a side job'. You're worthy of being a senior..." Tong Muli covered her red face and stared at Anson Lu through the gaps between her fingers.
After a pause, she criticized again: "But senior, if your words were spread online, they would become a hot search!"
"I'm already on the trending search list, the international wanted criminal on the loose."
"Oh! That's true. Senior, you don't mind this little bit of negative news." Tong Muli said here and changed the subject: "So, what kind of women do you like, senior..."
Anson Deer interrupted her: "So, you don't usually let this panda look after Lorenzo?"
When he thought of the Italian hunk who was almost 1.9 meters tall and had to rely on a panda to stay in good spirits, he felt a little happy and thought, Pope, you have come to this day too.
"Yes. In addition to healing the body, my panda also has the ability to heal the spirit." Tong Muli said as she playfully raised the red panda's right paw and waved it.
"Very good. Next time Lorenzo comes to you for medical treatment, remember to slap him twice with your panda hand and take advantage of him."
"Haha, Senior, your words are really funny, but he is the captain of the law enforcement team! If you slap him, you will be sued in a military court!"
"So what if he's the captain of the law enforcement team? Give him a pat with the panda hand if necessary."
Tong Muli suddenly became serious and saluted: "Yes, sir! I will record a video next time and send it to you as soon as possible."
"That's it." Anson Lu couldn't stand this drama queen.
"Wow, senior, you are so cold. I want to take this opportunity to trick your friends. Gamer friends are not okay, but QQ friends should be ok, right? Otherwise, WeChat! Weibo!"
"I don't even play." After a pause, Anson Deer asked, "So, what do you think of Lorenzo?"
"Ah... Although he gave me an unexpectedly gentle feeling, he still always had a poker face. His big blue eyes were so serious that I didn't even dare to look at him."
Anson Deer teased: "Actually, Lorenzo is a good person, but his brain is a little bit sick."
"Hehe, if you're not seriously ill, you don't need to come to me."
"The world's second-best player has to rely on you to survive. You have a lot of capital to show off. You can humiliate him in front of others more often in the future."
"Really?" Tong Muli patted his flat chest.
"Speaking of which, if we use the ordinary priest profession as the standard, your sequence 'Bamboo Shadow Healer' can roughly play the role of how many priests?"
"I don't know. If I say that, it will make those priest players look cheap, which I don't like." Tong Muli thought for a while, "But if I have to say, it's about sixty, right?"
"That's quite exaggerated." Anson Lu said, "As far as I can remember, apart from you, there seems to be no other player with the ability to heal."
"That's not true." Tong Muli was stunned, and lowered her voice and said, "Senior, you don't know that there was a 'World's No. 1 Doctor' among our Chinese players."
"Oh, there is such a person." Anson Lu took out his mobile phone and checked.
"Yes." Tong Muli chuckled and continued, "His sequence name was 'Youchen Divine Doctor', but he later took the initiative to join the law enforcement team and died in the dungeon."
"So that's how it is." Anson Lu heard this and turned off his phone.
"He is my father. He is usually very nice to me. Although he is serious, he is a very gentle and interesting person. He taught me medical skills and he also said that I am very talented."
"My condolences." Anson Lu put the phone back into his pocket.
Tong Muli stared at the red panda chewing bamboo, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Well, after actually meeting you, I found that you are unexpectedly cold and indifferent, which is not what I imagined." After a pause, she continued, "I am friends with Cosimo from the law enforcement team, and he often mentioned you to me."
Anson Lu put his hands in his pockets and looked away. "I just don't care much about people and things that have nothing to do with me, and... I'm a little tired recently."
"I don't think this is a shortcoming. Human energy is limited." Tong Muli lowered her head. "So, senior, you know what, someone said that if we win the world boss battle, all those who died before can be resurrected!"
"Yes, it is possible."
Tong Muli closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and muttered: "Anita Buddha, please, great chess master of the past, please save my father."
"That's enough." Anson Lu said slowly, "When I retire, I can open a 'Deer God Temple' and you can come and worship every day."
"I can't help it. It hurts my heart to mention him." Tong Muli raised her head with a smile on her face. "So, I just want to act as relaxed as possible and not burden the people around me."
"In this respect... we are quite similar." Anson Lu said, "But there is no need to do that. Just be yourself and do what needs to be done. It's too tiring to live your life according to other people's wishes."
Tong Muli stretched out her index fingers and made a cross, "Senior, why are you suddenly giving inspirational quotes? Minus points."
Anson Deer yawned and passed by her, "Sleep."
Open the door, walk in, close the door, and lock it.
"Click." The sound of the door locking.
"Good night, senior!" Tong Muli's voice came from outside the door, and she walked away holding the panda.
"Why are there little brats everywhere... Do Lorenzo and Jiang Yijie both have a habit of playing development games?"
Anson Lu sat down on the bed with a tired look and put down the towel to wipe his hair.
After a while, he opened the chess panel out of boredom.
The panel popped up, and Anson Lu could see that the logo of the "Blue Flame Stone Statue Chess Set" had turned gray and was surrounded by a shackle pattern, perhaps meaning "this chess set has been banned."
But instead, a brand new chess piece appeared in the chess library.
The quality of this chess piece is the lowest-end "inferior chess piece", even one level lower than ordinary quality.
Anson Deer, who has always had good luck, has never drawn a "low-level chess piece" in the chess bag so far. Unexpectedly, he would encounter one this time, and it was one he created himself.
Upon closer inspection, you can see that unlike other chess pieces, this chess piece has a unique crystal pattern above its name.
This conspicuous mark means that she has "unlimited advancement qualifications" - that is, as long as the advancement conditions are met, her quality can continue to improve, and it is not surprising that she can climb all the way from "inferior level" to "final level".
Anson Deer moved his eyes and looked at the panel.
The name of the chess piece is: [Slum Girl - Natasha].
"Natasha." He whispered the name and confirmed that this was indeed the stone statue of the queen, but the name had changed a lot compared to before, and it had also been downgraded to a low-level chess type.
"So...what should we do?"
He clicked on the chess piece panel to check the description of the chess type.
[Chess name: Slum girl - Natasha]
[Chess level: MAX (this chess type has reached the maximum level)]
[Chess quality: inferior]
[Chess type attributes: Strength: 4; Agility: 5; Intelligence: 5]
[Chess Skill: Assassin's Instinct (Blessed by a "Fallen Twilight God", Natasha has natural assassin skills. Her reaction and skills are far beyond her peers. Even assassinating an adult is not a problem)]
[Requirements for upgrading a chess type to "ordinary level": 10,000 inferior materials; 50,000 evolution coins. ]
[Description of chess game: Natasha was abandoned by her parents at a young age and had a hard time making her way in the slums. At the age of seven, she had already become the leader of a group of children. She would lead her companions to rob unscrupulous merchants in the underground city - Compal to make a living.
But because of this, the young Natasha has been blacklisted by the underground world, and what awaits her is a future of difficulty and treading on thin ice. 】
[Chess type limited to one piece]
[Chess type favorability: MAX (the chess type’s favorability is full)]
[Belonging to chess group: No chess group (After the rank of this chess type is upgraded to "Final Level", the corresponding chess type bond may be awakened)]
Anson's brown eyes swept across the panel, and when he saw that skill, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Assassin's instinct... In other words, the assassination skills of the queen statue are not acquired, but are innate?
He continued to read and was even more surprised: "Huh? Blessed by 'a fallen Twilight God'? Can this be related to the Twilight Gods chess group?"
Anson Lu certainly knew what the "Twilight Gods Chess Set" was - according to the information he had, this chess set could basically be ranked alongside the "Death Church Chess Set" as the strongest chess set in the game.
Before this, just talking about the chess team, Anson Lu and the principal had two major differences in choice.
First: The principal later went for the "Death Church Chess Group", while Anson Lu wanted to go for the "Twilight Gods Chess Group";
Second: The principal gave the unlimited advancement qualification to another chess piece, not the queen statue.
"Maybe... I accidentally took the right path."
Anson Lu suppressed his excitement and sighed.
He also didn't expect that Natasha would be related to the Twilight Gods.
The four words in front of him made Anson Lu very excited. He seemed to see possibilities that had never appeared in the principal's world.
According to the original worldview of the chess game, basically as long as the four words "Twilight Gods" are involved, the background of this chess piece will inevitably go up two or three levels.
To put it another way, since she has the "Twilight Gods" as a guarantee, the later potential of "Natasha" must be unimaginable, and she may even be able to rival the top chess pieces in the chess world.
Anson Lu took another look at the "Group Belonging" column. "Sure enough, as long as she reaches the Final Level, Natasha will have a linkage bond. Maybe it will be a linkage bond with the 'Twilight Gods'?"
The chess type panel did not provide much information, so he quickly read through it and made some plans for the future.
The level and favorability are already full, so it seems that at least I don’t have to worry about these two points, but if I want to improve the quality of the chess, I must pay a lot of materials and evolution coins.
However, no matter how many materials and evolution coins are needed, this is not a problem...
Anson Lu has already made up his mind: when his reputation improves, he will formally establish a cooperative relationship with the law enforcement team or the national team and obtain resources directly from the official.
However, at least in this round of dungeon, he cannot use Natasha as a chess piece for the time being. After all, Natasha currently only has "low-level combat power" and will be beaten wherever she goes.
[It is expected to arrive at the legendary sea area - Bancario in 19 hours. Investigators, please be prepared to carry out the "Dragon Sail Pirates" investigation mission. 】
The system prompt sounded, interrupting Anson Lu's messy thoughts.
I will put the Queen's matter aside for now. I have to see what the Captain's investigation mission will be tomorrow...
By the way, can you at least give me a set of pirate group chess? Well... at least make up for the lost army of stone statues. My buddy's "good fellow chess group" has just been established, and it has fallen apart. How can I be so upset?
"Well, it's time to rest."
Anson Lu didn't think about it anymore. He reached out to turn off the light, put his arms behind his head, and tears of fatigue still welled up in his eyes.
Soon, his consciousness returned to darkness and silence.
Anson Deer did not have any dreams tonight. He slept soundly. The hot air balloon airship under him was still moving slowly forward. It shuttled through the clouds and carried the three people in the cabin towards the mysterious sea.
