Real Cthulhu Running Game

The reason why this man attracted Liu Xing's attention was not because he was also an acquaintance of Liu Xing, but because the man's appearance and temperament were completely different from his dressing style, because he looked like he should He is a student who is still in college, but he is dressed like a gangster. Not only is he covered in leopard print, but there is also a big gold chain hanging around his neck. All in all, it gives people an inexplicable sense of violation.

However, Li Hanxing and others still had no reaction to this and continued to sit there and chat, but they were also secretly paying attention to the couple.

Because the visitor center is not large, Liu Xing and others can clearly hear the conversation between Chen Lei and the couple even if they are sitting in the corner.

First of all, this couple is called Hong Yu and Xu Meng. They are a couple of college students who are about to graduate. They originally planned to leave the resort island this morning, but before leaving the resort island, they were lucky enough to win again on a lottery platform. It was a three-day trip to this resort island, so I continued to stay on the resort island. I didn't expect that my luck would be so bad. What I thought was a free vacation turned into a rare storm experience.

Chen Lei deeply apologized for this and was willing to extend the vacation time of Hong Yu and the others, or exchange it for cash of equivalent value, which appeased the two of Hong Yu.

However, what worried Liu Xing more was that Xu Meng was the only one who spoke when communicating with Chen Lei, while Hong Yu only nodded and shook his head beside him.

Then, Hong Yu and Xu Meng sat on the sofa at the door.

"It seems that we are still too honest. Why didn't we take this opportunity to ask for some compensation?" Li Hanxing said, shaking his head.

Youran rolled her eyes at Li Hanxing and said speechlessly: "Oh, tell me what kind of compensation we want? Mr. Chen Lei can't give us a prop directly, right? Besides, it's not like you haven't heard what the owner of the dog group said. , most of the props in the module cannot be brought out of the module, not to mention that we are unlikely to enter other modules that share the same worldview as this module in the future."

Chen Tong on the side shrugged and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Chen Lei came over and said with a smile: "Dear guests, do you have any taboos? I'm going to make dinner now."

After knowing that Liu Xing and others had no taboos, Chen Lei went directly to the second floor. It seemed that the kitchen of the visitor center should be on the second floor, but this was not good news for Liu Xing and others, because this This means that Chen Lei is cooking completely out of sight of his group. If he adds some extra ingredients to the meal, his group will only know about it when he eats it.

But now there is no reason for my group to go to the second floor to find Chen Lei. If they want to go to the second floor secretly, they will definitely be seen by Hong Yu and Xu Meng. Even if they are not Chen Lei's helpers, they will probably take this Tell Chen Lei something.

"It seems that we have to go hungry today, but if we are really hungry by then, we can go to the kitchen and turn on the stove by ourselves in the evening, and we can also use a few kitchen knives as weapons." Li Hanxing said with a smile: "But having said that, who do you think is our enemy, Chen Lei or this couple?"

"Chen Lei, this couple looks quite normal, and the two of them arrived at the visitor center later than us. It seems that they have no chance to do anything in the visitor center, but more importantly, this module serves as a It is the first time for new players to experience this module. It should not be too difficult, but it is impossible for us to pass it easily, especially since we have Mai Yuqiang as a powerful fighter in our team, so based on the elimination method Look, we are probably facing a mythical creature, which is Chen Lei!"

At this point, Youran organized his language and continued: "In the Cthulhu Running Game, under normal circumstances, there are only two types of enemies that players face. One is the fanatic believers from the secret church, and the other is the fanatic believers from the secret church. One type is mythical creatures. Of course, you may also encounter ordinary people who accidentally obtain mysterious powers or pick up some powerful props. However, ordinary people in this category can actually be classified into the first type of enemies. , so the situations we may encounter in this module are - one mythical creature, two mythical creatures and a fanatic believer, two fanatic believers. It is unlikely that a mythical creature plus a fanatic believer will appear. Case."

"The reason why it is unlikely that mythical creatures will add fanatic followers is because the module we are in is a novice module after all, so the enemy should attack the NPC first before attacking us, so that Leave us with clues to analyze whether he is a mythical creature or a fanatic. If it is a flower of mythical creature, we should be able to analyze whether it is a ghoul or a deep diver. It is unlikely to directly attack our players unless we Alert him in advance."

"So, let's follow the script later and don't do any unnecessary things. After something happens to a certain NPC, we can determine who is the enemy. Going back to the previous question, if we are all just a group of people using For players with ordinary character cards, the probability that the couple are fanatic believers is more than 90%, because one fanatic believer is enough for us to drink a pot, and two fanatic believers can just match our wits and courage. But now Mai Yuqiang alone is enough for these two fanatics to drink from a bottle."

"So even if there are three NPCs here, plus there may be two hidden NPCs that are hostile to us, the five of them combined cannot defeat us, unless they have guns in their hands, or know some powerful spells, or use some Awesome props, but this is unlikely, because let’s not forget that there are not many staff in the Cthulhu Run game lobby today, so most NPCs are controlled by AI. In the final analysis, they are controlled by programs. Therefore, the behavior patterns of these NPCs have actually been set long ago, and if we make some strange operations, we can affect the next actions of these NPCs."

"I'm considered a half-baked programmer in the real world, so a program like this that requires multiple NPCs to cooperate with each other and decide their next move based on the player's actions is not easy to design. If you're not careful, it may be full. You lose all the games. Regarding this point, you can also recall the games you have played. Most bosses at the end of the level are usually single ones, and there are rarely double bosses. This is because of the skill settings and action design of the bosses. It is inherently complex, and may interact with the surrounding scenes, and if there are two such BOSSs at the same time, it is easy to cause bugs, and if there are more BOSSs, it is even easier to cause bugs."

"Of course, some games now use some tricks when designing double BOSS, or even multiple BOSS, such as splitting one BOSS into two BOSS, reducing the damage range of a single BOSS and reducing the attack speed; as for multiple BOSS, A BOSS is even simpler. Only a single BOSS close to the player is allowed to attack, while the other BOSS is watching the show or acting as a moving obstacle. Therefore, although the VR technology in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall can already be said to be It’s the best, but if their AI technology can’t reach the same level, I don’t think they will rashly arrange multiple enemies in such a closed and relatively narrow space.”

Liu Xing and others were stunned by Youran's analysis.

But Li Hanxing once again missed the point, "What, Youran, you are actually a programmer? Are you the type who plays a female role..."

"Go away, I'm a real girl, and I'm not a real programmer. I'm just an artist working in a mobile game company. However, our company's latest mobile game suddenly became popular, so there is a shortage of programmers. , so I learned some knowledge about programming when I was assigned to help. Besides, if I were really a programmer, how could I have time to play games with you now? Logically speaking, I should still be there now You should work overtime in the company." Youran complained.

Chen Tong next to him sighed and said with some melancholy: "Well, actually, I am a quasi-programmer. After I graduate from college next year, I will enjoy the blessings of 996, so I have started drinking wolfberry tea now. , wash your feet with hot water... Youran, can you tell your company and ask if they are still hiring programmers? If so, I can come to work early."

After talking and laughing for a while, Youran continued: "So, I think the enemy we may encounter in this module should be a mythical creature, because if it is two mythical creatures, we want to deal with them with bare hands. They are really too difficult. Even if Mai Yuqiang can fight one mythical creature one on one, the three of us together may not be able to defeat another mythical creature. After all, we are the most passive when facing mythical creatures. One thing is that we will perform a sanity test the moment we see them!"

When they heard the "sanity test", Li Hanxing and Chen Tong's faces became serious.

"When we play the Cthulhu Run game in the real world, as long as we don't lose five san points at once when encountering a san value test, causing our character card to fall into a temporary crazy state, then we will lose two or three san value points. It will not be affected in any way, and we can continue to do whatever we need to do, but the dog group owner said that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has been made as real as possible, so I think we only lost a little san value. , there will also be emotions such as loss of concentration and fear. As for the four-point san value as the critical point, I think we may be in a state of fear..."

Li Hanxing couldn't help but shuddered, shook his head and said: "Hey~ Hearing what you said, Youran, I couldn't help but think of the first time I watched a horror movie. At that time, I was frightened directly into my mind. I feel completely blank, my limbs are not in control, and my heartbeat and breathing have stopped for a few beats, so I think this is a reaction to losing four sanity points."

Youran nodded and said seriously: "Yes, even if the four of us are very lucky and only lose a little san value when doing the san value test, but in this closed space with a small terrain, Mythical creatures can take advantage of our dazed moment to approach us directly, so if there are two mythical creatures, we may be defeated in less than two or three rounds, but if there is only one mythical creature, we will be unlucky. With the loss of at most one person, we can besiege that mythical creature, and by then our chance of winning should be over 80%."

As soon as Youran finished speaking, Liu Xing saw Chen Lei walking down with a big box in his arms, and then took out a bunch of food from the big box and placed it on a table in the hall.

In just a few minutes, Chen Lei has already made so many dishes by himself?

However, Liu Xing soon realized that this was Mai Yuqiang's memory, so it was normal for the plot time to suddenly fast forward. Perhaps it was because Li Hanxing and others had nothing worth writing down in the subsequent discussion. .

Just as Liu Xing thought, Li Hanxing and others did not express any doubts about Chen Lei making a table of meals by himself so "quickly".

After sitting down at the dinner table, Liu Xing couldn't help but be stunned again, because the food on the table was still steaming from a distance, so he couldn't see anything strange. However, now that he looked closer, he found that the resolution of the food was It seemed a bit low, which made Liu Xing feel like he was watching a video with only 240P, and he could only barely distinguish what dishes were served here.

It seems that Mai Yuqiang had almost forgotten about this meal, but it is fair to say that Mai Yuqiang and others were worried that Chen Lei would poison these meals, so they didn't eat much, and they didn't even look at it. Didn't even glance at it.

Of course, now Li Hanxing and others also scooped a small spoonful of rice from the rice cooker next to them after they got to the table. When Chen Lei brought some vegetables, they followed suit and ate a little, and soon said they were full. , and then got off the table directly.

As for Liu Xing, he followed the same example, but this low-resolution meal was tasteless to Liu Xing, with no taste at all, so this was the most uncomfortable meal Liu Xing had eaten in so many years. 6

Chen Lei did not try to persuade the couple to stay, but told the couple what they should eat and drink.

The meal passed just like that. It seemed that nothing happened during the meal that was worth remembering by Mai Yuqiang.

As a result, at this moment, as Liu Xing closed and opened his eyes, he suddenly heard strong winds, lightning and thunder outside the visitor center, and a moment later it was pouring rain.

Fortunately, the resort island is next to the sea. Even a heavy downpour could not flood the visitor center, so Li Hanxing was still in the mood to lie on the window and look at the scenery outside, admiring the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall from time to time. It's really real.
