[Completed the fourth investigation mission, "Fantastic Christmas Investigation", and returned to the hot air balloon airship to settle the final rewards.] 】

[Happy playing.] 】

An emotionless chime sounded coldly in the ears of the four travelers.

Anvill accepted the principal's gift, and her heart was a little fluttering. But as soon as she raised her head, her eyes touched the desolate snow country town, and her eyes suddenly turned red again.

"Thank you for the gift." The girl murmured.

"You're welcome." The headmaster smiled lightly and exhaled a cold breath.

"So, who are you?"

"Well, it's the Traveler."

"Can I know your names?"

"My name is Ansen Lu, his name is Jiang Yijie, the shortest one is called Mo Xiaoyuan, and the girl with the panda on her shoulder is called Tong Muli."

"Well, I wrote it down, so can I open your gift?"

Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders, and said in his heart that this NPC girl was really polite, obviously in a cautious tone, but her mouth was one question after another, which was somewhat difficult.

"I'll talk about it when I'm gone." He laughs.

"Hmm."

Annville nodded slightly, her long, white-blonde silky hair making her look like a baby snow leopard.

Mo Xiaoyuan put the sniper rifle back into the pouch, raised his lazy eyes, reconfirmed that Santa Claus was dead, and then looked at the two beside him.

Jiang Yijie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief; Tong Muli covered her small mouth and looked at Anson Lu's back thoughtfully.

"You can go, Anson Deer." Jiang Yijie said: "Our task has been completed, and we have investigated all the things that should be investigated in one day today, and it will not be difficult to fill in the information form at that time."

Anson Lu nodded, "Well, let's go."

"I'm tired." Mo Xiaoyuan sighed lightly, "This is definitely the most tiring copy I've ever had."

"After all, in the past, even if it was a cooperative challenge dungeon, Xiao Yuan, you would lie in bed after fighting monsters at a fixed point, and you hadn't traveled such a long distance." Tong Muli looked at him helplessly.

"So......" Mo Xiaoyuan pouted, "I hate this kind of inexplicable copy, isn't it easy to sleep by fighting monsters?" It's really annoying to have to investigate the east and west."

Before Santa arrives, they have been investigating the town for a whole day, and in the end they can barely find a place to live, but fortunately Anvil's parents have taken them in.

However, in the process, they also got a lot of information - for example, the time of this town is different from the outside world, yesterday here is December 24th, today is December 25th, and it happens to be Christmas.

"Let's go." Mo Xiaoyuan complained: "Captain, this time when I return to Huanjing, I must take a good vacation, and I am not allowed to be called."

"Do it, do it, and don't call you." Jiang Yijie smiled, turned his head to look at Anweier, who was alone, and whispered, "We're leaving, little girl."

"Goodbye." Anvill was stunned for a moment and waved her hand at them, "Thank you for protecting my town."

"Goodbye."

Soon, the figures of the four were far away, and they leaped down the eaves of the attic, leaping above the town like Superman, and soon disappeared into the dim twilight. ….

Anvier's ears fell silent, and the cries of her parents came from the attic.

She exhaled a deep breath of white air, looked at the ruined town, looked at the people who were crying, and was silent for a long time, her heart was so depressed that her heart was about to burst.

"I've been looking forward to it for a long ......time," Anvile pursed her lips and whispered, "Year after year, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

「…… Christmas gifts, huh...... I still have a gift."

She wiped her tears, unwrapped the gift box, and when she opened the box, she saw a bouquet of snow-white and dark blue flowers, which were so beautiful and cold, like a river rushing in the cold winter, containing a lonely and immortal vitality.

"Thank you, my Santa."

...........

...........

In the early hours of March 6, an unnamed island in the Pacific Ocean.

The sun had not yet risen, the moon was as clear as a knife in the blue ice, and the cold moonlight fell on the earth, enveloping the white forest, and the four figures were walking among the mountains and forests, farther and farther away from the only town on the island.

"So...... What gift did you give her?" Mo Xiaoyuan asked disdainfully.

"Who knows, I bought it with Evolution Coin in the town, and it's said to be a blind box." Anson Lu played with his phone, "I haven't turned it on either, I don't know what's in it."

"So that's ......" Tong Muli covered her mouth and snorted, "Senior is so caring, I'm even more fascinated by you."

"Excuse me." Anson deer staggered.

Mo Xiaoyuan muttered, "Giving gifts to NPCs can also be called intimate, it's crazy to go to the hospital to see if your brain is good...... The world is really crazy."

"Mo Xiaoyuan-sama, did I spend your evolution coins on the gift?"

"It's not."

"Then talk less nonsense." Anson Lu closed his phone and sneezed, "Ah Yu——! It's cold, my God, I thought Norway and Hokkaido were cold enough, what a place."

He rubbed his shoulders, his face a little pale from the cold, and his lips were a little purple.

According to the urine nature of this dungeon, he naturally couldn't use the "Christmas sleigh" in this investigation mission, so he had to walk back, but he didn't expect the distance to be short, and everything had to be blamed on the hot air balloon airship stopping so far.

"Let's go back early." Jiang Yijie opened his mouth and said, "My other five Jade Ancient Beasts are all in a sealed state, but my Jade Ancient Eagle doesn't, and it can still be released."

"Team Jiang, why didn't you say yes earlier?" Anson Lu almost picked up his shoes and photographed people.

"Captain, aren't you torturing your own people?"

"There's no way, because the size of the Jade Eagle's size is not big enough, and it can carry two people at most, so it's not fair how I want to distribute this place, so let's just go together."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yijie looked at the three of them: "Say, which of you ......?"

"Carry me."

"Me."

Before the captain finished speaking, Ansen Lu and Mo Xiaoyuan raised their hands almost at the same time, this scrambling appearance was like a scene where a teacher in an elementary school classroom asked a question and a classmate rushed to answer.

"Then you two." Jiang Yijie smiled, "Mu Li, you can walk with me for a while, are you okay?" ….

"No opinion, who made Xiao Yuan a lazy dog." Tong Muli supports the forehead.

"Your Anson Deer good senior won't mention it, will you?" Mo Xiaoyuan gave her a blank look.

"I won't mention it."

"It's almost over, buddy is about to die of cold, and you're still fighting here."

"It's coming, it's coming."

Jiang Yijie summoned the Jade Giant Eagle, Ansen Lu and Mo Xiaoyuan sat on the back of the eagle very tacitly, the Jade Eagle vibrated its wings, soared into the air, and flew away with their screams.

"Two naïve ghosts." Tong Muli smiled lightly.

"Pear, after the actual contact, what do you think of Anson Lu?" Jiang Yijie changed his tone.

"Hmm...... It's interesting." Tong Muli said, "He is really different from ordinary people, it is difficult to get into his heart, I feel that the psychological defense line set up by the predecessors is too tight."

"That's right, before that, I have asked him with the most sincere attitude, I don't know how many times, and finally got some feedback." Jiang Yijie smiled.

"Captain, you're right, you're the best in the world, you have to have some face, and you still have three looks at the thatched houses in the Three Kingdoms."

"At first, I was worried that if the world's strongest power was in the hands of a child, what would happen to the fate of mankind."

"But......" Tong Muli walked slowly, and then Jiang Yijie's words said, "Captain, you are really

When you get close to him, you don't have that kind of thought at all, right?"

"Yes, I now understand that this concern is completely unnecessary. Anson Deer is an incredible person." Jiang Yijie said slowly, "It is both contradictory and powerful, and this contradiction is the most incredible thing about him, and it is also the characteristic that the 'principal' brings to him."

"Hmph, isn't it good?" Tong Muli sighed: "Anyway, the seniors really miss the principal, and the code name of this mission was 'Principal, I was blindfolded at that time."

"People always know themselves best, and if I travel back decades, I will probably be able to grasp the current me, which is not surprising."

"Oops, I can't imagine what the captain will be like decades from now."

"Why?"

"Because the captain is old enough now, no matter the tone of his voice or his attitude!"

"Huh...... That's just as well."

.............

.............

Hot air balloon airship, the wheelhouse on the third level.

Anson Lu and Mo Xiaoyuan followed the gangway to the deck, out of consideration for the two people behind, they did not close the gangway, and the cold wind blew in, like the roar of a wild beast.

"Go fill out that form, I'll go to sleep first." Mo Xiaoyuan's voice model lake.

"I'm not your father, so you don't have to say hello to me when you sleep."

"Okay." Mo Xiaoyuan scratched his messy hair, so sleepy that he didn't have the strength to talk back, he walked directly into the elevator and pressed the button on the panel.

The elevator doors slowly closed as Anson Deer stepped into the cab.

The final part of the investigation has been completed, but there is still work left to complete the information sheet of the cab and report on the details of what has been observed.

Anson Lu took the information sheet and pen, flipped to a specific page related to "Fantasy Christmas", and began to write. ….

He suddenly remembered that a few months ago, he was still an ordinary student, still sitting in the classroom filling in the test papers, doing the "Five-Year College Entrance Examination Three-year Simulation". The blackboard in the classroom reads, "Struggle changes fate, college entrance examination determines life". The extracurricular books on the shelves were taken away by the teacher, and the students sighed, and the head teacher said that they must study hard in the third year of high school, and there was no distraction.

At that time, everything was peaceful and calm, and the dappled shadows of the trees shone through the windows and shrouded the serious faces of the students. Anson Deer often holds his chin in a daze during class, turns his cheek sideways to feel the temperature of the sun, and there are junior students playing in the playground.

At that time, he was still thinking that it would be nice if he could go back to the first year of high school, the pressure was not as great as the third year of high school, and the classroom was lifeless. What I didn't expect was that when I came back to my senses, the world was already hideous and full of holes.

"...... after work" Anson Lu was in a daze, unconsciously filling out the information form, he put down the pen, and said deeply, "Dude's sequence copy is finally finished."

[The data sheet has been completed and is being scored based on the accuracy and completeness of the information......]

[The assessment has been completed, and the accuracy of the data in the investigation mission "Fantasy Christmas" is - 100% (flawless). 】

[All investigators have returned to the hot air balloon airship, the number of survivors this time is: 4 (all), according to the performance of the investigators, the general reward for the mission will be settled, and the rewards are as follows. 】

[1. 50,000 evolution coins, 50,000 experience points.] 】

[2. Santa's Red Hat*10 (Red Tide Material), Santa's Gift Bag*10 (Red Tide Material), Santa Caribou's Horns*30 (Legendary Material)] 】

[The following is a system prompt that only you can hear.] 】

[In this investigation mission, the rewards that belong to the "Old Chess Player" sequence are as follows.] 】

[1. Chess Creation Roll - Santa Claus*1 (Red Tide Chess Type)]

"It's coming, it's finally here." Anson Lu had expected it, and muttered, "Sure enough, the level is not low, otherwise how can it be said that it is 'Christmas Legend, the main C chess piece."

Red tide level chess type.

Although at the stage of the World Boss Battle, there is a high probability that it will be replaced by Black Moon-level chess pieces and Final-level chess pieces, it does not affect that this is one of the things that Anson Deer needs most at this stage.

The system beep continues, meaning that Anson Deer can get more rewards.

[2. Chess - Santa Maiden Anvile *1 (low-level chess) (This chess type is a special reward obtained by the player after triggering a hidden event, and the probability of obtaining it is extremely low)]

"Anvil......" Anson Deer raised an eyebrow, and the blonde girl's face flashed over her mind, "Oh, it's her...... Then I was really lucky to step on shit, I didn't expect this kind of incident to exist."

Either way, this girl is just an inferior chess player, and most of the time she can't play a role - unless she's also a member of the "Christmas Tales Chess Team" and has a bond with Santa Claus.

Anson Lu didn't check the chess skills for the time being, he just wanted to take a good rest.

Ten thousand steps back, no matter how much Santa Claus and Santa Maiden's panels pull their hips, the rewards for this sequence copy are already much better than he expected.

Before entering the dungeon, he didn't expect to be able to obtain an infinitely advanced chess piece. Other than that, the rest is the icing on the cake, the gain is lucky, and the loss is unexpected.

Moreover, the most important thing is to reach a consensus with Jiang Yijie.

This is equivalent to establishing a cooperative relationship with the Chinese government, and then we only need to wait for the influence of public opinion to fade away, and rely on the power of the government to re-enter the people's sight.

[Leave the dungeon after twelve hours, please be ready, bring your belongings, and wish you a happy game~]

The system prompt sounded, and Anson Lu slowly walked out of the cab and took the elevator back to the second floor.

In the elevator, he opens his friends list and checks the online status of several members of the union—they have all left the dungeon and returned to the city, but he is the last one in a long time.

"Hmm...... Those idiots don't seem to be fine, and that's enough." Anson Lu curled the corners of his mouth a little tiredly, and he was very satisfied.

[At present, it is the most complete and best sound for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it is an artifact that supports offline reading.
