Chapter 63 Ice Sea Chess Team
"A chessboard." Anson Lu raised his eyebrows and opened the panel. "It's the first time I get one."
You have to know that in the Evolution Coin Store, it costs 6,000 Evolution Coins to draw an Extraordinary Chessboard, which is twice the price of drawing a chess pack. You can imagine how excited he was.
Uesugi Asuka frowned, "Shouldn't we explore somewhere else?"
"Let's go." Anson Lu said as he checked the chess board, "Let's go back to the first-class cabin to have lunch. Brother Dong just happened to help us open that restaurant. How can we let him down?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
The two took the elevator to the upper promenade deck. Outside the railing was the vast ocean. Layers of ice floated up and down with the tide, like a boat that had lost its direction.
[Name of chess game: floating fish in the tank]
[Chess level: Level 1 (the highest potential of this chess type is - Level 2)]
[Chess quality: epic level]
"Epic!!!" the evil deer roared.
Asuka Uesugi was frightened and trembled slightly. She looked at Anson Deer, narrowed her eyes and asked:
"ill?"
"You scared me several times before. Is it not too much for me to retaliate?"
Anson Lu suppressed his excitement and continued reading.
[Chess type attributes: Strength: 0; Agility: 0; Intelligence: 0]
"Ah, this, this... this... this is really ridiculous..."
Anson Deer stared at the three plain duck eggs, frozen in place like a sculpture.
His mood was like falling from heaven to hell - who would believe it if he told others that this was an epic chess game with the attributes of three duck eggs? !
Asuka Uesugi glanced away, then quickly retracted her eyes.
"My soul has been sucked away by these three duck eggs. There will be no more sorrow or joy in this life."
Anson Deer stretched out his fingers and numbly flipped the panel.
[Chess Skills:
1. Fish swimming in the tank (Floating fish must stay in the tank before they grow to the final stage, and the tank cannot be adjusted and can only be placed in a fixed grid)
2. Rapid growth (the floating fish in the tank will undergo a rapid growth within 20 seconds after being placed out. When it grows to the final stage, it will become a chess species - floating shark, breaking out of the tank)]
"That's too harsh." Anson Lu put his hand on his chin, his eyes shining, "In other words, it's similar to the dragon eggs in the Harry Potter mobile game, which is equivalent to hatching a supermodel monster in 20 seconds."
Asuka turned her gaze toward the Atlantic Ocean. Strands of icebergs floated on the surface of the sea, being swept away or crushed by the huge Titanic.
[Chess type upgrade requirements: 3000 evolution coins, 50 epic materials. ]
[Species description: When pelagic fish are young, they cannot withstand the pressure of air or sea tides, so they can only survive in fish tanks. However, if pelagic fish can grow to their full state in fish tanks, they will become a major overlord in the ocean world. ]
"No, could it be that after 20 seconds, it suddenly turned from a tadpole into a big shark? Otherwise, how could it be kept in a fish tank?" Anson Deer was puzzled.
Asuka Uesugi tapped her shoulders lightly with her fingers.
The ice floes broke apart and sank gently into the deep sea.
[Chess type holding limit: 1 piece]
[Chess species favorability: None]
[Chess Group: Ice Sea Chess Group (a chess group that is quite extreme in both offense and defense, requiring players to have very strong on-the-spot judgment to be able to unleash the true power of the chess group)]
"Sure, here's another chess set I haven't seen before." Anson Deer said, "So now I know three chess sets in total - the Blue Flame Stone Statue chess set, the Magical Beast chess set, and the Ice Sea chess set."
"So..." Asuka Uesugi frowned, "What have you been talking about since just now?"
"I'm afraid you're too bored, so I'm here to help you pass the time."
"No one can understand what you are saying!"
"It's okay, just treat it as a radio broadcast." Anson Lu said, "The reward just now also includes a chessboard, which starts at at least 6,000 Evolution Coins."
[Board name: Ice Sea Board]
[Board quality: ordinary level]
[Board description: On this board, the main attributes and health of all marine creatures will be improved to a certain extent.]
[It is detected that you have not configured any chessboard at present. Do you want to configure the Ice Sea chessboard? ]
"That's fine. I only have one ocean chess seed on hand, and I thought it would be very useful."
Although he said this, Anson Lu still accepted it honestly.
"equipment."
[Configured chessboard - Ice Sea chessboard]
"Is it over?" asked the red dragon girl.
"The broadcast is over. Let's finish our meal and then go shopping." Anson Lu turned off all the panels.
"oh."
Asuka Uesugi snorted coldly. After they had their meal in the restaurant, they took the light elevator and continued to go deeper into the lower deck of the Titanic.
The two of them walked from the D deck to the bottom deck.
Along the way, they encountered many ghosts. Asuka Uesugi went from being a furious penguin every minute at the beginning to being numb later on.
As a result, they didn't encounter many incidents on this trip, but instead interacted with these ghosts a lot.
From a cross-sectional perspective, the distribution of the Titanic's passenger cabins is a microcosm of the social class divisions at the time.
——The ghosts in the first class cabin are mostly dressed in gorgeous clothes, and their words are full of reserve and nobility. As long as you provide evolution coins, some musician ghosts who are good at playing will play music for you.
——The second class is second best, and the ghosts that appear are mainly middle classes from Britain and the United States, such as doctors, writers, lawyers and other elite professions. If you pay evolution coins, these ghosts will even write poems for you, see a doctor, and provide treatment.
——The ghosts in the third class are mainly poor immigrants from Britain, Ireland, Italy, Türkiye and other places. Even after their bodies have decayed, the ghosts here still sing and dance and start parties at night.
Ansonlu also wanted to pull Asuka in to dance with her to see if he could trigger any hidden events.
As soon as he said this, the lady had already hidden away a million miles away. She hugged her shoulders, huddled in a corner, and said with hostility in her stern eyes:
"If you want to jump, you can fish Xiong Haodong out of the Atlantic Ocean to jump with you!"
"I told you, Brother Dong has already swam back to Shangshi City. There's no way to get him back now."
The two mentioned Xiong Haodong's name at least a hundred times today, which shows their love and respect for Brother Haodong.
As a result, during this long period of exploration, neither of them triggered any special events.
The time quietly came to 11 o'clock in the evening, and they were now on the lower deck.
In front of the two was a strange, dimly lit corridor. On the right side of the corridor was a closed wall, so they could not see the sea, nor could they hear the sound of the tide. The air was a little stuffy.
At this time, the dim light bulb emitted a flickering light.
"It's time to go back..." Uesugi Asuka held her forehead with her hand, "I really want to vomit. The whole ship is full of ghosts."
"There are still places to explore." Anson Lu walked forward. "Where there is a will there is a way. Maybe we will find something as soon as we walk in..."
[Triggered event - Devil's Corridor]
"I'll go, are you really coming?"
"Crow's Mouth."
Asuka Uesugi got goosebumps all over her body.
[Event goal - Pass through this corridor without being discovered by evil ghosts and spirits]
[Event limit challenge times - 2/2 times]
[Note: Players are prohibited from using any skills while walking in the corridor. Once discovered by the evil ghost, they will return to the starting point.]
Anson Lu glanced at the ferocious figure in red in the corridor, retracted his foot, coughed twice and asked:
"Ahem... Who's going first?"
"Are you scared?" Asuka frowned.
"Can you please take a look at how badly you are shaking?" Anson Lu gave him a disdainful look.
"Oh, it's not that difficult. It's just a matter of walking over there."
Asuka Uesugi breathed a sigh of relief. She saw with her own eyes the evil ghost in red turn the doorknob, open the door, and walk into one of the rooms in the corridor.
At this moment, she walked quickly into the dimly lit corridor, and her figure was swallowed by the darkness.
"Oh, she's really brave." Anson Lu refreshed his impression of this person.
Three seconds later.
"roar!!!"
As expected, it was the roar of a red dragon.
[Player Uesugi Asuka was discovered by the evil ghost and has returned to the starting point. 】
[Number of challenges for the current event: 1/2 times]
The system prompt sounded, and a trembling crimson young dragon had returned to this end of the corridor. It covered its body with its wings and curled up in the corner.
“That’s it?” Anson Deer looked at the trembling young dragon, covering his face with his hands to stifle laughter. “Is it that scary? I was even scared out of my wits by the transformation…”
Asuka Uesugi slowly returned to her original state, with tears of resentment in her eyes, and she spoke in English almost word by word:
"You can you up."
"Ha, I'm really good at this." Anson Lu raised his lips and started to make a face, "Let me teach you how I completed 'Outlast 1' in an hour in the Internet cafe!"
After he finished speaking, he reached for his waist bag and took out the one-time skill card - Stealth - from the bag panel.
[The one-time skill card - Stealth has been consumed. ]
[You have entered stealth mode, which will last for 10 minutes.]
In the dead silent corridor, only Asuka Uesugi was left.
In her eyes, Anson Deer suddenly disappeared without a trace, not even a trace left.
"Where are you? Come out... Don't joke around like that."
Asuka Uesugi's face was pale. She curled up in the corner, looking around blankly, her pupils slightly flushed with a dark red, and she only saw the evil ghost watching in the corridor.
She shuddered and hugged her knees tightly.
"Of course it's a bug, otherwise how do you think I managed to complete 'Escape' in an hour?" Anson Lu said proudly.
However, it seemed that Asuka Uesugi didn't hear what he said.
"Can stealth block out sound?"
Anson Deer was stunned for a moment.
Without thinking much, he walked quickly into the corridor with his invisible body, passed directly past the evil ghost, and slowly walked to the end of the dark corridor.
Soon, the system prompt sounded.
【Congratulations to the old chess player for successfully challenging the event "Devil's Corridor". 】
[Event rewards: 500 experience points, 1000 evolution coins. ]
"Old... old chess player?"
When Asuka Uesugi heard the system prompt sound, she raised her head and exhaled a breath of white air.
No response.
"Are you back?"
Still no response.
Asuka Uesugi lowered her head, her brown hair covering her eyes. She was so cold that she almost fell asleep.
"An...Anson Lu, where are you? The incident is over."
Still no response.
“Where are the people…”
The girl turned her face away, and heard the laughter of the evil ghost. She quickly looked away, her voice hoarse from the cold.
"Where are you?"
"Why can't dragons be afraid of ghosts?"
"I really hate ghosts the most..."
"Where on earth are you..."
At this moment, Anson Deer was returned to the starting point by the system. Because he had experienced a period of teleportation, his body was automatically released from stealth mode.
[Anson Deer's level has been raised to Lv8 (0/8000 exp), and its comprehensive attributes have been improved. ]
He turned his head, almost putting his hands on his hips with pride, "Yeah, it's that simple."
Asuka Uesugi was stunned for a long time.
She raised her head, stared at Anson Lu's face in a daze, and exhaled a breath of cold air.
After a moment's silence, she said nonchalantly:
"Ha, it's just cheating. I thought you were so great..."
"That's strength, okay? If I can cheat, why can't you?"
"You have props, I don't."
“That’s the difference between us.”
"Okay, you're awesome."
Anson Deer suddenly felt guilty for bullying the little brat. He said:
"Let's go back. We have explored the entire ship. Let's go to the first-class cabin and have a good sleep. Let's experience the treatment of the rich people of the last century."
After saying that, he extended his hand towards Asuka.
Asuka Uesugi looked at his palm and hesitated for two seconds.
"Well, go back."
She turned her cheek, stretched out her slender little hand, paused, held Anson Deer's hand, and stood up.
"Come to think of it, we can't just rest now." Anson Lu said.
Asuka said, "Yes, we will enter the second round at 12 o'clock. There are still 10 minutes left. I wonder what game mode it will be."
"Oh, then let's wait for the system to notify us and then take a rest." Anson Lu smiled.
"By the way, remember to forget what happened just now." Asuka Uesugi pointed her index finger at Anson's cheek with a blushing face, "Otherwise, I will turn into a dragon and bite you to death."
"What? I don't remember."
"Well, that's good," Asuka paused and gently poked Anson's shoulder with her finger, "Thank you."
[It is now 0:00 on the evening of December 25th, and the second phase has begun - the pirate ghost ship is coming]
[Before the ghost ship attack, players can still move freely on the Titanic. ]
Not long after, in the corridor of the first class cabin of the Titanic.
"What do you mean?" Asuka Uesugi leaned against the door, hugging her shoulders.
Anson put his hand on his chin, "Uh, let's take turns standing guard. One person will rest while the other observes the situation."
"Who goes to bed first?"
"Ladies first."
"Oh...you're quite a gentleman."
"I just want to prove that not all of us Shangshi people are like Dong Ge."
"Oh, if it's not, then it's not..." Asuka opened the door, turned her head and glanced at Anson Lu, "I'm going to sleep, don't be as sleepy as a reptile."
"Okay, go to sleep." Anson Lu took out his phone, "I'll play some mobile games. When you wake up, take over my shift."
"Yeah." Asuka pushed the door open.
"By the way." Anson Deer yawned and said in a daze, "I hope you don't oversleep and get woken up by me, and then get angry and turn into a dragon to bite me."
"Haha, then I will definitely bite you to death, and then I will sleep for a while longer."
"That's about enough."
"Good night." Asuka Uesugi closed the door.
"An." Anson Lu looked down at his phone.
On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, icebergs were floating on the gray-black sea. Hurricanes tore through the icy air and rolled up rolling sea fog, as if there were sea beasts roaring in the dark night.
At this moment, a dilapidated and scary large ship slowly approached. The black side of the ship, like an iron wall, pushed aside the floating ice and opened up a channel in this world of ice and snow.
It is about to catch up with the Titanic.
