Chapter 216: Natasha's Two Ascending Directions - The Queen's Stone Statue or the Assassin's Palace
At night, in the town of Liukan, a wooden house.
After returning from Tokyo, Anson deer took a shower and tried on a khaki trench coat that Yuri had chosen for him, similar to the "Sherlock Holmes decoration" in the carriage of the sea train.
He has grown a lot taller during this time, his shoulders have become wider, enough to support heavy clothes, and the important thing is the change of temperament, so that he will not have the feeling of "children wearing adult clothes" when he wears a trench coat.
On the contrary, it is just right, revealing a cold sense of elitism everywhere.
He had just sat down on the bed when a gray bubble of information popped up in the upper right corner of his vision.
When you open it, it's a trade application.
[The player on your friends list, "Julius Mena", has made a trade request to you.] γ
[-Items given by the other party: poorly made wooden plank*999 (low-grade material), crow's crow's head *999 (low-grade material), reefs everywhere*999 (low-grade material), etc.......]
[ββItems requested by the other party: 50,000 evolution coins. γ
"It's really fast, but it's only 50,000 evolution coins, and Xiaomei is too good, right, it's really a sullen hanging...... It's much better than the black merchant of the crow. "Anson Deer accepted the trade request.
In any case, the inferior material is now out of print.
Aside from Yuliu, Anson Deer really didn't know who could do it for him.
If you want to find a crow, this Mu Qiang's gambler will definitely think-"Lujun, if I want to find such a shoddy thing as low-grade materials, it will be too difficult for me." This kind of rhetoric is rejected back and forth.
[The transaction has been completed, you have lost 50,000 Evolution Coins, and you have obtained a total of 10,000 different inferior materials.] γ
[Current Evolution Coin Balance: 110,000 Evolution Coins.] γ
"Okay, that's enough."
Satisfied, he opened the chess panel and clicked on Natasha's page.
[Chess name: Slum Girl - Natasha]
γChess Quality: Inferiorγ
[The requirements for upgrading the chess type to "ordinary level": 10,000 low-level materials; 50,000 Evolution Coins. γ
[If it is detected that it meets the needs of upgrading, will it consume materials to upgrade the chess type?] γ
"Upgrade." Anson Lu didn't hesitate, isn't this unreasonable if it doesn't upgrade? Natasha is an infinite advanced chess game, and she is also the main chess that has been with him for the longest time.
[The 10,000 low-grade materials in the bag have been emptied, and 50,000 Evolution Coins have been paid.] γ
[Current account balance: 60,000 Evolution Coins.] γ
[Congratulations, the low-level chess game, "Slum Girl Natasha", has been advanced to the ordinary level chess game, "Wandering Apprentice Girl Natasha"!! γ
Anson Deer raised an eyebrow.
"Wandering? Apprentice? I don't think there's such a story in the backstory of the queen's statue. β
He thought about it carefully, before the king picked up Natasha, Natasha was already extremely strong in her teens, maybe she wandered for a while and learned from someone.
He looked at Natasha's panel again, and it had changed drastically.
[Name of chess type: Wandering Apprentice Girl - Natasha]
[Chess level: MAX (the chess type has reached the full level)]
[Chess Quality: Ordinary Level]
[Chess Attributes: Strength: 9; Dexterity: 12; Intelligence: 9]
γChess Skills:
1. Assassin instinct (blessed by a "fallen twilight gods", Natasha has natural assassin skills, her reflexes and skills far exceed those of her peers, even assassinating an adult is not a problem)
2. Triangle strangulation (Natasha climbs to the back of the opponent's head and cuts the opponent's neck with her hands and feet)
3. Pan-poison dagger (Natasha scratches poison on the dagger to enhance the lethality of the attack)
4. Shadow weaving pace (Natasha uses slow and rhythmic steps to form a phantom to confuse the opponent's sight)]
[Chess Description: Natasha met an old man who called himself "Master Ninja" in the slums, she gave the seriously injured Master Ninja food and water, bandaged his wounds, and saved him from danger.]
In return, the ninja master took Natasha as his apprentice, and he explained that he had traveled around the world for decades to investigate a demon named "Qinghong", and he must destroy "Qinghong" before he died, otherwise he would not be able to complete the task assigned by his ancestor.
As a result, Natasha traveled around the continent with the ninja master for a while, during which time she learned many ninja assassination techniques, and even the ninja master had to marvel at her incomparable talent.
But half a year later, until the ninja master ran out of life, he couldn't find the demon named "Qinghong", Natasha buried the ninja master in the desert, and briefly returned to the former slum to see how his former friends were doing. γ
Anson Deer nodded, "Oh, so the plot picks up, after which she was picked up by the King's Statue. β
He continued to look down.
[This type of chess has an "infinite advancement qualification", which can currently be upgraded to "rare", and has two promotion directions. γ
[Upgrade Direction 1: "Stone Statue of Queen Blue Flame - Natasha", upgrade requirements: 1,000 normal-grade materials, 50,000 evolution coins, and Legendary materials - Qinghong Holy Flame *20.] γ
[Upgrade Direction 2: "The Chief Assassin of the Temple - Natasha", upgrade requirements: 1,000 Normal-level materials, 50,000 Evolution Coins, and Legendary materials-Night Cloak*20.] γ
"How do you feel like you're playing a cultivation game, are there still a variety of advanced directions to choose from......" Anson Lu muttered, "Advanced requires a thousand ordinary-level materials, which is much easier to find than ten thousand low-level materials, and there should be one on the market now, and the price is not high, the important thing is Legendary-level materials." β
Natasha, who has advanced to the "Queen Stone Form", and Natasha, who has advanced to the "Chief Assassin of the Temple", are completely different concepts.
Anson Deer believes that this choice needs to be carefully considered.
If she advances to the queen stone statue, what kind of story will Natasha have to go through in order to be freed from the curse of "Qinghong"?
However, if she advances to the queen statue, she can retrieve her original memory, then this will be the queen stone statue he knows, not this taciturn girl.
"How do you choose?" Anson Lu sighed lightly, "Hmm...... To be honest, I don't really want her to advance to the 'Blue Flame Stone Statue', I feel like there will be a lot of bad memories. β
But without this memory, Natasha may no longer be a "stone statue of the queen".
His intuition told him that only by evolving Natasha into the "Blue Flame Queen Stone Statue" form would she be able to awaken her original memory, and that it would be much easier to talk if the original Queen Stone Statue had been.
After all, they have been cooperating for so long.
"There are still a lot of materials needed for upgrading." Ansen Lu muttered, "Then ask Jiang Yijie directly." β
Anyway, he had already made an appointment to cooperate with the national team in the future, but he didn't blush or beat his heart, so he directly opened the friend list and sent a message to Jiang Yijie.
"Team Jiang, have you slept?"
"Haven't slept yet, what's wrong?"
"I'd like to ask you for some materials."
"Hmm...... If it's a material of the Red Tide level, it's hard to get it even with my permission. β
"No, I only need ordinary grade materials and legendary grade materials, and there are no specific requirements, any kind of material can be."
"How much do you need?"
Even if Jiang Yijie is typing, his tone is so kind.
"A thousand ordinary-level materials, twenty legendary-level materials is not much, right?"
"Huh...... It's really a lion's mouth, but it's not a difficult thing, and I'll send it to you in a moment. β
"Thanks, Team Jiang."
"You're welcome, it won't be long before we'll be colleagues, and it's right to help each other."
Is it necessary to emphasize...... Anson Lu smiled and closed the conversation panel.
He asked Jiang Yijie for a thousand normal-level materials in order to upgrade Natasha, after all, he had already obtained the material "Qinghong Holy Fire" in the sequence copy, and the rest was only ordinary level materials.
As for the other twenty legendary-level materials he asked for from Jiang Yijie, it was to gather fifty legendary-level materials and upgrade the Floating Shark King to the full level.
In this day alone, for the sake of materials, he asked three different people, and Anson Lu had to sigh in his heart that this was the benefit of connections.
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered Ansenlu, who was isolated over there.
"How is she......" Anson Lu raised an eyebrow, took out his phone from his pocket, and curiously opened the software - cross-time observation.
The app's footage soon appeared, and the directory on the right was refreshed with only a new video - this one was very short, only about thirty seconds long.
"It's only thirty seconds, what kind of footage will it be?"
Anson Lu nonchalantly clicked on the video, and the screen began to play out.
He was very familiar with the unfolding picture - this is Anseong in China, the time is dusk, and the sunset is high in the sky.
Anseong is much bigger than Sangseok and looks a lot more lively, at least at the level of a third-tier city.
And the "protagonist" of the video, Ansen Lu, wearing a black hoodie and a black hood, slowly walked through the crowd and stopped in front of a residential building, she walked up the stairs to the fifth floor.
She stopped in the building she remembered, turned the doorknob, and found that the door was unlocked.
Push open the door and step inside.
She was greeted by two hanged corpses - their faces were no longer bloodless, foaming from their mouths, their eyes turned upward, and blood from their necks strangled by ropes.
Anson Lu's hand holding his chin shook and swallowed.
He knew who these two people were-his uncle and aunt, the only child in the family who they usually value the most-An Hongyan, and now An Hongyan has died at the hands of An Senlu, and they have no reason to continue to live, so they chose to seek death.
Since the past, Anson Deer has neither loved nor hated these two people, and his uncle and aunt inherited the inheritance of Anson Lu's parents, so it is their natural responsibility to raise Anson Deer.
With this inheritance, my uncle quit his job and found a job to work from home, and my aunt whispered in his ear all day long, but he also felt that it didn't matter, after all, Anson Lu's parents left enough money.
It's just that they haven't taken special care of Anson Deer since they were young, whether it is psychological or physical.
Anson Lu spends a lot of time in his room playing chess, only receives pocket money during the Chinese New Year, and saves two or three years to buy a game console, but his cousin treats him well, and often brings him some comic magazines and snacks.
My cousin was the only child in my uncle's family, and my uncle and aunt had invested the family's finances on him β all the top cram schools, the best schools, and then sent my cousin to a university in the United States, paying a lot of tuition every year.
As for Anson Deer, they are perfunctory if they can.
Uncle will say on the surface: "The public school environment here is poor, Luzi, I'll help you find a private school."
In fact, after finding a school for Anson Lu, he breathed a sigh of relief, and told his aunt behind his back how tired he was and how many connections he used, so he barely helped Adou, who couldn't help him, to find the school, saying that this kid was unwilling to work hard, and only knew how to play chess all day long, so he relied on his parents and waited for us to raise him for a lifetime.
At that time, Anson Deer was behind the door and could hear it clearly.
My aunt beat and scolded my uncle, saying that we owe it to his parents, how could he say such a thing? I secretly rejoiced in my heart, compared with Anson Lu, how good their son was.
From childhood to adulthood, An Hongyan has been a "child of someone else's family" in the eyes of his neighbors, and now he has become a "returnee elite" that everyone envies, and he will definitely be able to enter a good company to make a lot of money in the future.
Anson deer, good for nothing.
Despite this, seeing the corpses of his uncle and aunt with his own eyes, Anson Lu's eyes still had a mixed emotion.
Even if they don't care much about him, they are still the ones who have eaten at the same table for many years.
"That's suicide...... How vulnerable you are to be. β
Ansenlu sneered, she took off her hood, put her hands in her pockets, raised her emotionless eyes, and watched the scene expressionlessly.
Her reaction was unwavering, but Anson Deer could see her shoulders tremble slightly.
After a few moments, Ansenlu walked into the living room, swept past the two corpses, and saw a letter on the table, she reached out to pick up the letter, and the scene suddenly went black.
This is the end of the recording.
Anson Deer muttered as he stared at his own face reflected on the screen.
"Is this where the principal's transformation begins? Or where? β
He shook his head, dispelled the useless suspicions, turned off the software, and lay down on the bed for a moment.
After a moment, Anson Deer sat up and spoke:
"Natasha, come out."
The order fell, and Natasha, who had already advanced to a normal-level form, appeared in front of him.
Natasha has visibly grown a lot taller with the naked eye, she is still wearing a cloth dress, her left hand is holding the wrist of her right hand, her purple eyes dodge Anson deer, and her pupils are dull and cold.
"Do you know me?" Anson Deer asked.
"Anson Deer." She remembered what Anson Deer had said and didn't continue to call him master.
"I mean, do you think about anything else? Like slaying ghost samurai in Hokkaido with me? β
"Sorry...... I don't have such a memory. β
"Okay, then tell me what happened to you in the years you went out with the 'Ninja Master'." Anson Deer was not disappointed.
"We were looking for a demon named 'Qinghong', but we couldn't find it, but we encountered a lot of wonderful things on the way, and I also practiced seriously with my master for a long time."
"I see." Anson Deer groaned, "That's it, you can go back." β
"Yes."
The words fell, and Natasha vanished.
Sure enough, she has to be advanced to the "Blue Flame Stone Statue" first, so that she can recover her original memory? Do you have to turn her into a "stone statue" again? That's really stupid.
"Or, what if this advanced route has a lower potential than the 'Hall of Assassins' advanced route next door?" Anson Deer stared at the ceiling in thought.
After a while, he shrugged his shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief, and fell back into the bed, the back of his head sinking into the fluffy fuzzard, his tired eyelids closed.
"Well, whatever...... Let's get some sleep first. β
