Chapter 216: Fireworks and Falling Snow in Tokyo Bay
"Use chess seeds to create a scroll - Santa Claus." Anson Deer began to read.
[Check if your chess library and bag contain qualified materials - Santa Claus's red hat*10, Santa Claus's gift bag*10, meteor fragments*20, Phantasy Star*20, 100,000 Evolution Coins, and a chess piece with the word "Christmas" in the prefix of its name.]
[Please choose one of the two chess pieces to consume: Christmas Girl Anweier, Christmas Sleigh. ]
"Santa Girl Anweir." Anson Deer said without hesitation.
Is there any need to think about this? Anweier is of course used to summon Santa Claus, which is clearly stated in the background story of the chess species.
[The chess type crafting scroll, all the materials and chess types required to craft the chess types, and 100,000 evolution coins have been consumed.]
[Your current balance: 110,000 Evolution Coins]
At this point, the system prompt sound suddenly became rough, like a bar owner holding champagne and shouting excitedly.
[Congratulations, the red tide-level chess game "Santa Claus" has been added to your chess library——!!!]
"Very good, let me see what kind of character this chess piece is." Anson Lu relaxed his mind. There is no harm without expectation. If Santa Claus's value is ridiculously low, it is completely within his acceptable range.
[Chess name: Santa Claus]
[Chess level: 1 (the highest potential of this chess type is - level 3)]
[Chess quality: Red Tide level]
[Chess type attributes: Strength: 80; Agility: 80; Intelligence: 80]
[Chess Skills:
1. Demonic form (the demon soul that inhabits the body occupies Santa Claus' body and distorts the power of the Fantasy Star, making the gifts made by Santa Claus using the Fantasy Star carry extremely strong evil energy)
2. Christmas Gift (Used by Santa Claus in normal state: prepare a bag of Christmas gifts. The effects of the Christmas Gift are randomly selected from the following three: 1. Heal the health of the friendly party; 2. Increase the attribute value of the friendly party (cannot be repeated); 3. Eliminate all negative states for the friendly party and gain a certain damage increase in a short period of time)
(Santa in demon form: prepare a bag of Christmas gifts and set off a carnival explosion)
3. Christmas Eve (Santa Claus scatters Christmas gifts to celebrate this wonderful night)】
[Chess upgrade requirements: 40 red tide-level materials, 100,000 evolution coins]
[Chess Type Favorability: 0 (When it reaches 100, you will gain a new skill, or get an attribute improvement, or the skill effect will change)]
【Chess Group: Christmas Chess Group】
[Currently has bond: Christmas Legend (bond object: Christmas Sleigh) (bond effect: unlock the 4th and 5th skills of Christmas Sleigh; Santa Claus' "Christmas Gift" effect is enhanced)]
"Not bad. The sled suddenly has two more skills. Its strength is finally unleashed." Anson Deer said with satisfaction.
It was dusk, and before Chu Qimo sent them a message to tell them that dinner was ready, Anson Lu walked out of the house, came to the empty square in the town, and released the sleigh and the Christmas snowman.
[Two chess pieces of the "Christmas Chess Set" are detected to exist at the same time, and the bond - Christmas Legend has been activated. 】
"Okay, let me see what skill it is." Anson Lu exhaled and rubbed his palms.
He opened the chess type panel and quickly found the Christmas sleigh.
[Chess name: Christmas Sleigh]
[Chess level: Level 5 (the highest potential of this chess type is - Level 5)]
[Chess quality: legendary]
[Chess Skills:
1. Floating sled
2. Deer Roaring and Thunder Flashing
3. Thunderbolt Impact (The Christmas sleigh is covered with lightning and rushes towards a target at high speed) (During the impact, the defense of the Christmas sleigh will be greatly improved)
4. Thunder of the Moment (summons a weak but extremely fast lightning. When this lightning hits the enemy, there is a 70% chance of stopping the opponent's skills being released) (The probability of this skill being effective against the Boss is adjusted to 10%) (This skill can be unlocked after activating the bond "Christmas Legend")
5. Crossing the sky (for a short period of time, the sled, as well as the chess and human beings riding the sled, fall into a "state of nothingness" that cannot be touched and will not be affected by any control effects) (This skill can be unlocked after activating the bond "Christmas Legend")]
"Well, these two skills are quite useful." Anson Lu said.
The fourth skill can be used to stop the player's or boss's skills. Although the chance of triggering the boss is only 10%, this may become a skill that can bring about miracles in adversity.
As for the fifth skill, the effect is also very simple. It can enter the "invincible state" for a short period of time, completely protecting the sled and the person riding the sled. It is still very practical.
In the past, Anson Deer had to stack the effects of the two skills "Chess Soul" and "King Protection" to barely achieve the effect of the "Crossing the Sky" skill.
Now that he has this skill, his ability to survive has undoubtedly been further enhanced.
Anson Lu has recently gained a deeper understanding of self-preservation skills. In the later stages of the game, he should not only pursue the strength of the chess type, but also pursue means of preserving himself.
Otherwise, a mistake could result in death.
Anson Deer cannot predict what skills the boss will release in this stage.
Anson Deer looked around and muttered, "Let's try again when we get up the mountain or into the dungeon. It doesn't work well here."
Just then, Chu Qimo's message came. He took a look at the message and walked towards Chu Qimo's house. The eaves were all painted red. It was the house chosen by Chu Qimo.
He knocked on the door and Chu Qimo opened it quickly. He was still wearing an apron and gloves. Julius could be seen in the room. The American mafia was sitting on the sofa, watching TV expressionlessly.
Mission Impossible was playing on the TV screen, and it looked like an old Hong Kong movie chosen by Teacher Chu.
"President, you are back."
"Teacher Chu, I'm just waiting for you to treat me. I'm hungry and haven't eaten for the whole afternoon." Ansen Lu smiled and patted Teacher Chu on the shoulder.
"That's really a favor to me. The food will be ready soon. It just so happens that Yuliu came over unexpectedly today. I'm a little worried that it won't be enough, so I'm wondering if I should add more..."
"It's okay. This is perfect. Crow asked me to tell you that he won't be coming to dinner tonight."
"That's perfect." Chu Qimo nodded.
"That guy just likes to go to the casino in Tokyo to play cards when he has nothing to do," Anson Lu said, "and do some unknown things by the way."
While teasing the crow, he walked into the house and sat next to Yuliu.
"Hey, Comrade Xiaomei, I haven't seen you in person for a long time."
"If you call me that again, I'll kill you."
"Yuliu-san, could you please stop being so angry?"
"I can queue up with you guys for the next round of dungeons."
"Why do you suddenly want to form a team? Are you worried that we will be wiped out?"
"No, there's nothing to worry about with a monster like you." Yuliu said bluntly, "I'm just worried that my teammates will drag me down. If the strength of the eighth round of dungeons is similar to that of the fourth round, then the risk is still quite high."
"It's okay, it's okay. Just follow us and you'll win. The guys in the weird family won't let you down." Anson Lu picked up the potato chips from Chu Qimo's cabinet and tore open the package.
He did remember that Julius had been acting alone since he joined the guild, and had never formally met up with other members of the guild. It seemed that they had never queued for a dungeon.
This is a good opportunity to allow this overly aloof mafia boss to integrate into the union and properly hone the teamwork.
"You can't let your guard down. If we weren't lucky, we might have been the ones to die in that Tokyo dungeon."
Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and put a potato chip into his mouth. "At worst, we can avoid the cooperative challenge dungeon. Don't worry so much."
"Serial players avoid cooperative challenge dungeons. This is not your style."
"Then you really know me." Anson Lu said calmly, "So... how are you doing with the 10,000 low-grade materials I asked you to find?"
"We can put it together tonight."
"What kind of efficiency do you and Crow have in doing things... It's outrageous, okay?"
"Don't compare me with him. He is just a gambler. I have a foothold in the entire American underground world. It is very easy for me to mobilize my connections to collect materials."
"The Mafia looks down on gamblers, right? To me, you two are of the same nature." Anson Deer teased, "Anyway, Crow isn't here tonight, so you can insult him as you like. It's just right that when we have dinner, we can settle the bad things he has done together."
"I'm not that boring."
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Boom boom boom.
"President, please open the door."
"OK."
Anson Lu got up and opened the door. Asuka Uesugi and Yuri came at the same time. The tips of their noses were slightly red. Behind them was a light snowstorm in March. The climate at this time was not as harsh as before.
Judging from their outfits, they had all taken a bath. Asuka changed into a light green long skirt, and Yuri wore a blue and white school uniform.
A pair of eyes as beautiful as a bluebird, a pair of eyes as clear as the aurora, quietly staring at Anson Deer.
"Can you please move aside?" Asuka Uesugi hugged her shoulders.
"Please come in, young lady." Anson Lu made a gesture of invitation with disdain.
"Hehe." Asuka walked past him and sat on the sofa.
"Aren't you going to come in?" Anson Lu looked at the motionless Yuri curiously.
Yuri stared at Anson Deer with his clear eyes and tilted his head, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Anson Lu was stunned, and said with a smile: "Why are you so childish? Patting my head is fine, but you still want to come in? By the way, why are you still wearing your school uniform? Are you obsessed with Shangshi High School?"
"I have nothing to wear."
"I'll go with you to Beijing to buy a set tonight. Oh... Tokyo is fine too. Crow seems to say that there will be fireworks in Tokyo tonight to celebrate the victory of the Tokyo dungeon. We can go and watch it." He muttered, "The Japanese are having so much fun. It's almost the end of the world."
"good."
Yuri said, moving over Anson Deer's shoulder.
Anson Lu grabbed her slender wrist and asked her to stop.
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, young lady from Iceland, I haven't said 'come in' to you yet?"
"…childish," the Icelandic girl criticized lightly, her hand resting on her chin.
Anson Lu thought that you changed your mind too quickly, so he let go of her wrist and snorted:
"Anyway, please come in."
Yuri sat on the couch and Anson Deer sat next to her.
Asuka Uesugi sat between Anson Lu and Yuliu. She picked up the remote control and changed the movie. She didn't seem interested in the Hong Kong movies of the last century. Instead, she played "The Wandering Earth 2".
"Oh, penguins' brains can also watch science fiction movies?" Anson Deer asked casually while playing with his mobile phone.
"roll."
I had only watched half of Julius's "Mission Impossible" when Asuka swapped the disc.
He crossed his shoulders expressionlessly, tapping his arms lightly with his fingers, but he just sighed and said nothing more.
Soon, Chu Qimo's voice came from the kitchen.
"It's time to eat, everyone."
"Here I come."
Anson always felt that the meal after each dungeon was always particularly heartwarming. During the period, the kangaroo jumped out several times, but he pressed it back with commands. It was not until Yuri pleaded for it that Anson reluctantly gave it a bite of food.
After the meal, Yuliu said goodbye and quickly returned to Mexico.
Anson Lu, Yuri, Chu Qimo, and Asuka went for a walk in Tokyo together.
Today, vehicles are prohibited from entering the Tokyo Bay Rainbow Bridge. People gathered on the bridge like a long dragon, leaning against the railings to watch the fireworks in the sky. Under the brilliant fireworks is the slowly undulating sea.
Anson Deer rested his arms on the bridge railing, raised his head, and looked at the sky where fireworks were blooming.
He tilted his head and observed Yuri out of the corner of his eye.
The scattered halos enveloped her pale little face, and the splashing fireworks dispelled the faint mist in her eyes. Her eyes were so clear that they seemed to reflect the vast sea of stars, making people want to swim in her eyes until the sky and the sea turned blue.
Uesugi Asuka nudged Anson Lu with her elbow and said, "Let's go now, or it will get more congested. Don't you still need to buy her clothes?"
"Oh, that's true." Anson Lu came back to his senses, "Aren't you coming? Her aesthetic taste is not very good."
"No, I'll watch it for a while."
"OK."
Asuka Uesugi exhaled a puff of white mist. The falling snow and fireworks flew in the sky above Tokyo, dazzling the eyes. Accompanied by the rising and falling tides and the hustle and bustle of the crowd, it made people feel lonely for some reason.
"boring."
She glanced slightly at the backs of Anson Deer and Yuri.
"What style do you like?" Ansenglu asked, "Don't wear the school uniform. Shangshi's school uniform is so tacky."
"Aren't you wearing it too?" Yuri asked back.
"I'm imitating Ansenlu to see if wearing a school uniform can improve my combat power. Maybe it will give me some attribute bonuses?"
"Somewhat... stupid."
"Then idiot, by the way, you always wear school uniforms, aren't you imitating me?"
"It's just that I rarely wore school uniforms before, ever since I went into the hospital."
"...Well, it seems I shouldn't deprive you of your right to dress freely." Anson Lu touched his nose, "So, what style do you like? How was it on the sea train that day?"
"I like the clothes you...picked out for me."
"Me too... Well, then help me pick out two pieces. I won't wear that crappy school uniform anymore. Whoever wears it will be unlucky."
"good."
