Real Cthulhu Running Game

While Ao Guanhai and Black Pharaoh were bragging, Liu Xing and others began to pack their luggage and prepare to fly back to China, because Liu Xing "streamlined" the words that Tener left for him, and then told Yin En et al.

Yin En and others also agree with the view that "when a person is about to die, his words are also good". They feel that Turner will not deceive his group, and even if there is a trap, it is a trap that Turner arranged a long time ago. , and my group is already prepared, so it is not difficult to jump over this pit.

The most important thing is that Liu Xing and others also want to take this opportunity to return to China, because it will be difficult to conduct modules in China later.

So after Liu Xing and others reported to Miskatonic University, they asked Norton for a leave, and then took the nearest flight back to China.

Then Liu Xing and others left the Cthulhu Run Game Hall directly and returned to the real world.

Taking a break while busy is also a kind of wisdom. Anyway, it will take you a few days in the game to go to Heshan County, or the abandoned old Heshan County, so during this time, you might as well go back to the real world to deal with some things. Like spending time with my family or something.

"Three days."

Zhang Jingxu, who returned to the real world, said: "We will meet at the station in Xinheshan County in three days. Of course, we will also keep in touch in the group these two days."

Liu Xing, who was buying a plane ticket, nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, why don't we go to Laoheshan County half a day in advance to take a look? If we can find that Taoist temple, then we will have a much better time in the next module. ? And Tener also said in his words that the module it deliberately created is not difficult, and it has also set up mechanisms that will allow us to pass, so we don’t need to worry too much..."

"What if?" Yin En shook his head and interrupted: "What if Tenal is still evil and wants to lure Liu Xing into a trap? I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of what might happen."

Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I asked the kp when I got the character card back, so I can be sure that there is no problem with my character card, and it has been recognized by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. There shouldn’t be any problems with the module, not to mention we brought back both Chris and Taketori this time.”

"Be careful. We must beware of Tener's final counterattack. But as Liu Xing said, Tener is gone. Even if we want to make a living, we can't make any trouble. In short, we have been in trouble for the past two days. Take a good rest and strive to be in the final state to welcome our first module in the Cthulhu area." Ding Kun said with a smile.

Because they needed to go home separately, Liu Xing and others parted ways at the airport. However, this time Li Mengyao did not act as a light bulb and went directly to Fei Modu.

"Li Mengyao has an ex-boyfriend, or it can be said to be a childhood sweetheart. The two had a very good relationship before. They were originally studying in the same university. However, during the first holiday after military training, Li Mengyao's ex-boyfriend was involved in a car accident. As for paralysis, doctors have always said that there is still hope for him to be cured, but it will cost a lot of money, and the final chance of cure is only about 20%, so Li Mengyao's ex-boyfriend broke up with Li Mengyao... Although Li Mengyao is still very She loves her ex-boyfriend, but she can’t get over the money issue, because although Li Mengyao and her ex-boyfriend’s family conditions are pretty good, they can’t risk all their belongings just for a 20% chance.”

Tian Qing, who was sitting on the plane, began to tell Liu Xing the story of Li Mengyao, "So Li Mengyao transferred to my school after finishing her first year. Because when she encountered such things that made her powerless, most of them A person's first choice is to escape, but I know that Li Mengyao has never forgotten his ex-boyfriend. After all, Li Mengyao is so beautiful, and there are many high-quality human men who want to pursue her, but she has decisively rejected them all. ; And after Li Mengyao and I completed the first module, she stayed on the store page for a long time because there was an item in the store that could cure all diseases, but it required relatively high points and seemed to have side effects. "

Hearing what Tian Qing said, Liu Xing recalled it carefully and found that there was indeed such an item in the mall that could treat any disease. However, the side effects of this item were also very obvious, that is, if the player exchanged it for an ordinary If someone uses it, the user will be bound to the player. If the player tears the card later, the user will die at the same time. Even if the player passes the resurrection module, the user cannot be resurrected at the same time.

So although this prop seems to be a boon to the player's relatives and friends, allowing them to be invulnerable to all diseases in a sense, their lives are also bound to a character card of the player. This increases the psychological pressure of the player in disguise, because if you miss one move, you will not only lose your character card, but also your relatives and friends will die together.

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, basically no player will redeem this kind of prop.

"In that case, Li Mengyao has collected enough points and is ready to redeem this item to treat her ex-boyfriend? There is a saying that although paralysis will not kill people in a short period of time, it can also be serious. It affects a person's quality of life. After all, he has been lying in one place unable to move, and he can't go to the toilet by himself... If it were me, I would probably want to commit suicide within a few days."

When Liu Xing said this, he shook his head and said: "But this matter has been in the past for so long. I think Li Mengyao's ex-boyfriend has looked away, so now he is given a choice - to continue to be paralyzed, but Can Tian Qing live peacefully? Or return to normal, but he may die suddenly at any time, what do you think Tian Qing will choose? "

"What if Li Mengyao tells him about the Cthulhu Game Hall?"

Tian Qing had already expected Liu Xing's question, so he asked directly: "Liu Xing, didn't you say that now the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has begun to assimilate to the real world, and the whole process may take place within a few years. Completed, so Li Mengyao can completely turn his ex-boyfriend into a player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, so there will be no problem, right?"

Liu Xing frowned and said with some worry: "Yes, if Li Mengyao's ex-boyfriend can become a player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, then the side effects of this prop will be minimized, but Cthulhu Run The Tuan Game Hall is not a charity organization... And I must say a bad word here, we are unlikely to accept Li Mengyao's ex-boyfriend to join the team, because he may hold us back, and we will also let Challenge the hell difficulty as soon as you come."

"Li Mengyao understands this very well, because she knew from the beginning that if it weren't for me or you, she would definitely not be able to join our team. After all, the gap between us is really too big, so She has already made a plan. If she can really make her ex-boyfriend become a player in the Cthulhu Run Team game lobby, then she will leave our team and work with her ex-boyfriend on The Legend of the Condor Heroes. ." Tian Qing said a little lonely.

After all, Tian Qing and Li Mengyao have been best friends for many years. Now they are forced to separate, and they may even be separated forever. It is uncomfortable to think about it.

"Now that things have come to this, I can only wish them happiness."

Liu Xing sighed and continued: "So let's change the topic to a happier topic. When we return to Chengdu later, what should we do during the two days?"

"I want to find someone." Tian Qing suddenly said seriously: "Do you remember Huang Haoran? He was the labor committee member in our class."

Liu Xing thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I think I still have some impressions, but Huang Haoran is a typical problem maker, so I can remember his appearance now, but I can't remember what he did before. And I have no contact with him after graduation; so how did you come up with the idea of ​​looking for him? Did something happen to him? "

"Huang Haoran may be a player in the Cthulhu Game Hall, and he has been in high school."

Tian Qing said seriously: "I sat diagonally behind Huang Haoran when I was in high school, so one day I suddenly saw Huang Haoran reading extracurricular books during class. At that time, I thought it was very strange, because Huang Haoran might be a good student. , but he had never deserted during class before! Moreover, Huang Haoran also seemed to be in a trance during that period, so I thought he was a bad student at that time, but after a month he returned to normal, and at the same time he My academic performance has improved a lot.”

"Yes, I also remembered that although Huang Haoran worked very hard at the beginning, his grades were above average. However, in his sophomore year of high school, he suddenly had an enlightenment, and his grades suddenly reached the top 100 in the class. name, and later I heard that he was admitted to a very good university." Liu Xing suddenly realized.

"I only remembered this matter some time ago, because I was also reading the original novel of the Cthulhu Mythos, and then I suddenly remembered that Huang Haoran seemed to be reading the book in my hand, so I I have a bold guess, that is, Huang Haoran had already become a player in the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby at that time, and he also redeemed a certain item to become a top student! I just took a look at Huang Haoran’s recent I found out that he would occasionally disappear for ten days and a half, and then share some information or his own updates every day, which is somewhat similar to your situation, Liu Xing."

Liu Xing looked at Tian Qing, and his expression became strange, "That's true, but according to my understanding, the internal testing time of the Cthulhu Running Team game hall should be after we go to college, so Huang Haoran It is unlikely that I joined the Cthulhu Run game lobby at that time... Unless the information I got is wrong, or before the closed beta that everyone knows, the Cthulhu Run game lobby was actually in closed beta. It’s happened once.”

At this point, Liu Xing frowned, "If it's the former, it's easy to say, but if it's the latter, it would be interesting, because most players don't know there is such a closed beta!"

"That's why I said we need to meet Huang Haoran to see if he is a player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. If so, I think we can get a lot of information that we didn't know before!"

Tian Qing said seriously: "And Huang Haoran has now claimed to be a famous Internet author. After achieving financial freedom, he opened a B\u0026B in the ancient town of Luodai, so even if our trip is in vain, we can still stay there Two days of fun in the ancient town of Luodai.”

"agree."

Ever since, after arriving in Chengdu, Liu Xing and his wife took a taxi directly to the ancient town of Luodai, and successfully arrived in front of the B\u0026B owned by Huang Haoran during dinner time.

As the saying goes, stand-ins are attracted to each other, and the same is true for the players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, so Liu Xing and Tian Qing were about to enter when they saw Huang Haoran walking out.

As a result, before Liu Xing and Tian Qing could speak, Huang Haoran said with surprise: "Liu Xing? Tian Qing? Why are you here?"

"Oh, we heard that you opened a B\u0026B in Lodi, so when we came here to travel, we thought of coming over to take care of your business." Liu Xing said with a smile: "Then, old classmate, should you give it to us?" How about a discount? Treat us to dinner by the way."

"Of course." Huang Haoran said without hesitation: "I'm planning to go out to buy some groceries right now, so you guys go to the lobby to have a rest now. I'll be right back with the groceries!"

After bidding farewell to Huang Haoran temporarily, Liu Xing and his wife sat down in the lobby on the first floor of the B\u0026B.

Huang Haoran's B\u0026B is also a small and fresh one, but Liu Xing can also see that Huang Haoran spent a lot of effort and money on the decoration.

"It seems quite normal. I thought Huang Haoran would focus on the Cthulhu style of this B\u0026B." Liu Xing said with a smile: "But what do you think the relationship between that waiter and Huang Haoran is?"

The waiter Liu Xing mentioned was very beautiful. In Liu Xing's opinion, she was at the level where she could debut as an idol directly, so Liu Xing thought this waiter might be Huang Haoran's wife or girlfriend.

"We will know when Huang Haoran comes back."

Tian Qing took his mobile phone, found Huang Haoran's works and said: "I have read several novels written by Huang Haoran. Many people said that he was using money to make data. It seems that Huang Haoran was doing it to establish himself in front of relatives and friends. Character design, I rationalize the money to write novels. After all, the threshold in this industry is relatively low, and it is not uncommon for one book to become famous."
