Global Games: Old Chess Players

Chapter 146 "In the future, I will also be a principal here."

An Senlu opened the door, and the heat from the air conditioner enveloped his body, "I'm back."

"Welcome, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Lu."

Ritsu Urushihara was sitting on the sofa, holding his chin with his hands, flipping through a magazine boredly; Yu Rui was watching TV quietly; Chu Qimo was in the kitchen, sorting out the utensils needed for cooking.

Ansenlu took off the peaked cap he was wearing, handed it to Asuka, and exhaled hot air:
"It doesn't matter how many things you asked for. I'm ashamed to complain about my long time, but the main reason is that our big star has wasted too much time and has been signing autographs for people."

Asuka Uesugi took the peaked cap, frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to complain, if they recognize you, we are still surrounded by the supermarket and can't get out."

"Gaba."

"Gaba."

From behind the two, two different-dimensional kangaroos squeezed past with shopping bags. They walked into the apartment, put down the shopping bags, and disappeared very consciously.

"Wait, kangaroo." Anson Lu said suddenly.

"Gaba?"

The different-dimensional kangaroo jumped out, and the shadow of the dust didn't have this ability-it would become the main body after returning to the chess field, a guy who was not gray and not intelligent.

An Senlu looked at Chu Qimo, patted the kangaroo on the shoulder, and said solemnly:
"Teacher Chu, please entertain one more person, it's our meritorious service."

Chu Qimo hugged his shoulders, hesitated for half a second, looked at the kangaroo again, and said meaningfully:

"I understand, President, then I will serve six people."

"As expected of Teacher Chu, I am looking forward to it."

Qi Yuanli raised his mouth: "Mr. Lu, my cooking skills are also excellent."

Anson Lu sat down on the sofa and changed the subject directly: "Speaking of which, the official British team has a sequence player named 'Dony Chef'. I really want to bring that guy over."

Asuka Uesugi gave him a blank look: "Ha, if you really kidnap him and let me settle the matter, you will not only offend China, Iceland, and the United States, but you will also have to add Britain."

An Senlu shrugged: "It's almost done, the world is going to be destroyed, and they can't just let this fight go."

Chu Qimo and Qi Yuanli walked into the narrow kitchen with two bags of ingredients respectively, and sorted the ingredients in an orderly manner.

It can be seen that these two people are not a good pair - Ritsu Urushi is casual and loose, and his work mode makes full use of divergent thinking, and can prepare several dishes at the same time; Chu Qimo is serious and rigorous, and almost every dish is strictly prepared. Follow the steps of the recipe;

Anyway, An Senlu looked stupid.

"Good cow." An Senlu raised his brows, "Speaking of which, forget about Yuri, Asuka, can you cook?"

"No." Asuka replied decisively.

"What do you mean... I'll forget it?" The Icelandic girl looked away from the TV.

"Student Yu Rui will, of course!" An Senlu quickly changed his words: "Do I need to say anything else?"

"I don't know how to do it." Yuri paused, with his hand resting on his chin, "But I just need a cookbook, I'll take a look at it and write it down."

"Okay, everyone knows that you have a good memory, but actual combat and theory are two different things. When I was a child, I was very interested in seeing the jigsaw puzzles of Gundam toys. When I got home, I couldn't spell it out all night."

"hiss--!!!"

At this moment, there is already a scent wafting from the kitchen, Ritsu Urushihara is not wearing an apron, he is still wearing the black windbreaker, but there is no oil on it, and the technique of grilling meat is flexible and ingenious;
Chu Qimo's attitude was meticulous. He took off his coat to reveal the shirt inside. His strong muscles supported the clothes, and the lines were clearly revealed through the folds. He put on his apron and cooked potato soup;
Outside the kitchen, Uesugi Asuka was reading a manga with her chin resting on her hand.

"This is a good man." Asuka straightened her red nose, and gently sniffed the scent from the kitchen, "Comrade former chess player, can you learn from me?"

"Haha, the hunk who just saved Tokyo is not a good man, is he?"

"There is still a difference between a hero and a good man."

"Then what is the concept of a good man?"

Asuka said: "Not only to have a successful career, but also to take care of the family. Taking care of the family is the most basic."

"Have you watched "The Godfather" too much?" An Senlu complained.

"It's time to rest." Yuri said suddenly.

She put her arms on the table and used a book as a cushion, then closed her slender eyelids, and her clear eyes were replaced by slender eyelashes.

An Senlu took a sip of Coke and looked at her: "You can sleep in my room."

You Rui turned his snow-white cheeks sideways, opened his eyes, stared straight at An Senlu, and said in an emotionless voice: "There is only one bed in your room."

"Yeah, sleep on my bed, or sleep on the floor?"

"it is good."

After Yuri finished speaking, he got up from the table, walked into An Senlu's room with the book in his arms, and closed the door.

"click"

The sound of a lock.

"Hey, hey, whose room is this?" An Senlu was taken aback.

Uesugi Asuka glanced at him and said contemptuously, "Oh, be careful what unsightly books are found."

"You seem to understand it well?"

"How can you understand."

"By the way, I have to go back to school first."

"what?"

"Go to the principal's office. The principal hid a few bottles of wine in the cabinet. He fell ill and passed away."

Asuka was taken aback for a moment: "Passed away?"

Since her attention was focused on things like dungeons and players, she almost forgot that besides being killed by dungeons and getting lost in a different space, there are many ways for human beings to die.

For example: dying of old age, dying of illness, committing suicide, etc...

However, although the city is closed, it is rare to starve to death at present.

If it is a large-scale city, the official staff will arrange for players to purchase from the dungeon, bring enough food back to the original city, and then distribute it equally to those citizens who have lost their jobs.

In small-scale villages and villages, officials will also send some players with special duties to use the mechanism of luggage space and travel volumes to deliver food resources to them.

This is also the reason why the official forcefully recycles travel coupons to players.

A travel pass brings many meanings. The official will either use the travel pass to distribute resources, or give the travel pass to the sequence players, allowing them to go to the fallen city and eliminate the remaining colonial monsters.

"Yeah." An Senlu drank the Coke in one breath, and let out a long sigh of relief, "It's not a strange thing that the principal passed away. Apart from being hacked to death by a monster in the instance, there are many ways to die."

"Oh...then you go by yourself." Asuka Uesugi hesitated for two seconds, "Just in time, the things I ordered are about to arrive, so I won't accompany you to school."

"what?"

"Secret."

"The scariest thing is why the address you ordered is my home!" Anson Lu casually threw the Coke can into the trash can, put his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, and walked to the door in two or three steps, "Let's go."

Qiu Wen is a freshman in Shangshi High School.

He was 16 years old this year. If it was a year later, he would have died in some instance instead of sitting in the classroom... As the most ordinary member, he died quietly without leaving any traces.

Nowadays, because teachers under the age of 45 are all involved in the evolution game, not to mention how low the survival rate after four rounds of dungeons is, these teachers basically no longer teach.

Therefore, most of the teachers in charge of teaching the first year of senior high school courses are old teachers who are over fifty years old.

Today, under the instruction of the teacher, Qiu Wen has a task.

As a good student in the class, he has to persuade those bad students who are often absent from class to return to the classroom when they should be in class instead of wandering outside. ,Exercise".

Qiu Wenzhao did, but unfortunately the reply he got was not optimistic.

On the roof of the teaching building.

The boy with yellow hair turned his head, with a cigarette in his mouth: "Are you out of your mind? What's the use of studying well? From now on, everyone will have to go to the battlefield to be players."

His name is Lu Gan, he is 16 years old, and he hasn't even taken a serious class since the evolution game started.

"I don't want to be a player." Qiu Wen adjusted his glasses: "Besides, no one has said that the evolution game is still going on after one year. Why are you absent from class? Teacher Ke Qi is waiting for you."

"Why, we should all take popular science courses related to evolutionary games." A boy with a bat said, "But what's the point of other courses now? If we don't exercise, we'll die. ?”

His name is Xu Yang, he is 16 years old, and like Lu Qian, he is a well-known delinquent in the school.

Qiu Wen frowned, and said without doubt:
"In short, you go back first."

"Please, don't you see how many people are still in class?" Lu Qian bit his cigarette, dismissively.

Xu Yang echoed: "That's right, I heard that the current number one player in the world, the 'Old Chess Player' used to be a low-ranking player with terrible grades, which means that studying is useless."

Qiu Wen couldn't bear it and said: "You...you are all using the evolution game as an excuse to escape from reality, and you all don't study hard and don't do anything."

"Qiu Wen, when did you dare to speak to me like this?" Lu Qian's face darkened.

Xu Yang grabbed Qiu Wen's school uniform collar, "I don't teach you a lesson, I really think I can do it""

"Who said I was the tail of the crane." A calm voice came from behind them, "I have a chess champion anyway, do you have any, if not, go back and study hard."

Lu Qian and Xu Yang turned their heads, frowned and looked at the visitor, their expressions suddenly changed.

Anson Lu put his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, leaned on the net cover of the roof, and watched the three of them quietly.

Qiu Wen's expression was a bit unbelievable. Even if he was not interested in evolution games, it was impossible for him not to have seen this face on TV. This is one of the most famous characters in the entire world.

Lu Qian and Xu Yang also froze in place, muttering hoarsely.

"No way, this is me?"

"Really..."

After a while, An Senlu walked over and stopped in front of Lu Qian and Xu Yang.

He let out a breath of white air, and said slowly: "Go back to class, don't make me say it a second time, I will come to check every week in the future, I hope I won't see...you are still unruly."

Lu Qian and Xu Yang nodded quickly and left the rooftop very peacefully.

An Senlu sighed softly, looked at Qiu Wen who was stunned: "Your name is Qiu Wen, right?"

"En." Qiu Wen nodded.

"You don't have to worry about anything, just study hard." An Senlu said slowly: "In the future, you can do whatever you want, not everyone has to be a shit player."

"What about the evolution game?"

"The evolution game will end this year, I will," Anson Lu said after a pause, "find a way to make it end."

Qiu Wen was stunned for a moment, and he still hadn't recovered, he said hoarsely:
"Thank you."

"Is there anyone else who skipped class?" An Senlu twisted his stiff neck, "I happen to be free, so I can accompany you to find it."

"No, I won't bother you." Qiu Wen said in a low voice, "I'll just go find it myself. There aren't many people. Senior Lu, you're a year older than me. I've seen you before. When I went to the principal's office, I saw You and the principal are playing chess."

An Senlu was startled for a moment, he was silent for two seconds, then smiled and said:
"Yes, I really like playing chess with him."

"Everyone in the class likes you very much, they will discuss you between classes, they all say that you are human... the hope of the world, and so on, we are really lucky to have someone like you in Shangshi City. "

"I'm so popular?"

"Well, isn't there a lot of votes on the Internet?" Qiu Wen said, "Every time you vote for the popularity of sequence players, you are the No. 1, and No. 2 is the Italian from the law enforcement team. many.

But in my eyes, senior, you should be under a lot of pressure, you often appear in everyone's sight. "Pause, he went on to say:
"I feel that you have changed a lot compared to when I saw you in the principal's office, but it's also... You have become such a high-profile person, and you can't decide what you want to do."

Anson Lu said thoughtfully:
"Maybe I can't decide. After all, if I lie flat, the earth will really be destroyed. Well, although it sounds stupid and arrogant, it's just the truth."

"Haha..." Qiu Wen was amused.

Standing in front of you, a person who has many auras and is known to everyone in the world, and speaks such down-to-earth words, this feeling is really hard not to be amazing.

"Junior, come on, study hard, and strive to be the first in your grade. Tsinghua University and Peking University are waiting for you."

"Tsinghua University and Peking University are a bit far away, but I will work hard."

"Okay." An Senlu patted Qiu Wen on the shoulder, and added: "Also, tell the lower grades for me, let them study hard, don't think about it, the evolution game is not their turn. "

"Okay, I'll pass it on for you."

"Then I'm leaving. Come to me next time if you have anything to do. I will be here in the teacher's dormitory every time I have a holiday. But don't tell other students about this, or the dormitory will be surrounded by people every day."

An Senlu left after saying this.

Qiu Wen quietly stared at this person leaving the rooftop, the dark blue sky was like a curtain, gradually engulfing his figure.

For some reason, Qiu Wen always felt a little lonely from this person's back.

Obviously everyone around him is envious of An Senlu, envious of him being number one in the world and having such luck, but becoming number one in the world is not such a perfect thing...

Anson got off the rooftop and came to the principal's office on the fifth floor.

The principal's office is empty... I heard that a new principal will come to report soon, and it is arranged by the Shangshi official. After all, Shangshi High School is a public school.

An Senlu stopped at the door of the principal's office, took a breath of air, and the quaint tea smell penetrated into the tip of his nose, as well as a trace of stale tobacco smell. It seemed that the old guy often drank tea and smoked here.

The bright sunlight at noon, shrunk a little under the cover of the curtains, shone in in a hazy form, and the dim halo enveloped every inch of the wall of the principal's office.

An Senlu raised his head and looked at the long cabinet placed in the corner of the window. Inside the glass cabinet were a general chess board, a chess box, some messy certificates, and several bottles of old wine for decoration.

He opened the cabinet, took out the chessboard and chess box from it, sat on the leather chair behind the desk, unfolded the chessboard on the table, took out the dusty chess pieces, followed his memory, and laid out familiar chess positions on the chessboard.

He fought many tricks with the principal.

On many occasions, he almost lost to the principal.

At such times, the headmaster would rub his chin with his hand, look at An Senlu with a smile in his eyes, and say ironic words from his mouth.

However, whenever An Senlu took out a move to break the game, the headmaster's expression was relieved, without a trace of loss, he just said "that's good", "I'm relieved, your kid's chess skills have not regressed." In this case.

It was like, unwilling to see An Senlu lose to himself.

An Senlu can now understand why the principal doesn't want him to lose.

Because if even the current him loses, the world may repeat the same mistakes. Half a year later, that snow dragon will still be unstoppable, flattening the world with the most brutal attitude.

"It's so boring..." An Senlu pursed his lips and picked up a chess piece.

The sunlight was cut into thousands of strands by the grid window and shone obliquely on the chessboard. He swung the chess pieces silently, recalling every afternoon he spent sitting here with that person.

After a long time, he imitated the principal's usual posture, crossed his hands on the table, crossed his legs, and quietly looked around the elegant room.

The brilliance of An Senlu's eyes had never been so dim.

"When I'm old." He leaned on the back of the chair and said softly, "In the future, I will also be the principal here. I don't know if Shangshi High School closed down at that time..."

At this moment, an unusual message bubble popped up in the upper right corner of his sight.

An Senlu took a deep breath, stretched out his bony fingers, and tapped the air bubbles.

It's a message from Lorenzo.
