Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Master Liu, are you looking at the He's Brewery?"

Gou Sheng, who is good at observing words and expressions, said: "Indeed, our Heshan County does not produce much food every year. After excluding everyone's rations, there is not much, so this He's Brewery seems a bit awkward. After all, it is bought from other places. Grain also has to pay transportation costs, and the quality of the grain cannot be guaranteed; so He's Distillery has begun its transformation a long time ago. From then on, it no longer brews grain wine, but switches to selling various fruit wines. This has also made the business of He’s Brewery much better, and it has even become famous far and wide.”

I see.

Liu Xing really didn't expect that He's Winery would change its mind and start the fruit wine business. You must know that making fruit wine was still very difficult for ancient people, because fruit fermentation is more difficult than grain fermentation, and Due to the lack of storage conditions, fruit wine will also have a certain time limit. . . What's more, in ancient times when transportation conditions were worrisome, there were only so many varieties of fruits in one area, and it was also very difficult to transplant fruits from other areas.

"If you are interested, Mr. Liu, I can go to the counter and get you a bottle of fruit wine now. You must know that the fruit wine from He's Brewery has become the number one specialty drink in Heshan County. Almost every household needs it. Stores that serve alcohol will sell fruit wine." Gou Sheng said with a smile.

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then bring me a bottle, and I'll also taste how your Heshan County specialty tastes."

Gou Sheng nodded and quickly ran to the counter.

While Liu Xing was talking to Gou Sheng, he had been paying attention to the other NPCs around him. It turned out that these NPCs were really "concentrated" on the "Monopoly" in front of him. Even the people who were less than one meter away from me didn't look at me, and they didn't even make the slightest movement.

This seems very strange to Liu Xing.

Humans are very curious creatures, and it is precisely because of this curiosity that humans continue to make breakthroughs and stand at the top of the food chain. . . If you don't count those mythical creatures. . . Therefore, "watching the fun" is a dominant gene of human beings. Therefore, in Liu Xing's opinion, when he is accompanied by a boy from a gambling house, and this boy is still respectful to him, the surrounding NPCs should logically They will look at themselves differently and guess their identity.

As a result, what Liu Xing imagined did not happen, because the NPCs around him regarded himself as air and completely ignored his existence.

From this point of view, Old Li Tou may be the only real NPC arranged by Turner in the gambling house, specifically to bring players who come here to make money to his inn, so that the Luo family can come to find them.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing casually placed a bet. At this time, the surrounding NPCs looked at Liu Xing as if they were dreaming, because Liu Xing placed a silver coin this time, and the total chips of everyone on the table were not enough. A silver coin.

After all, compared to other projects, this dice guessing game with Monopoly elements is more like an entertainment game because it is more uncertain. Therefore, although there are many chips on this table, the unit price is not high. .

"The boss is very generous."

At this time, the NPC next to Liu Xing came over and said with a smile: "Boss, you must be a passerby, right? So are you planning to go to Guangxin City or Heluo City? Do you need bodyguards to accompany you? We happen to be going to Heluo City City, so boss, if you hire us, we can give you a good price."

Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not a boss, I'm just an ordinary ranger. But I have some relationship with the Luo family, so I took some capital from the Luo family, and I definitely don't have this capital." I had the nerve to take it away, so I made such a lavish bet to ensure that the capital would go wherever it came from.”

Hearing what Liu Xing said, the man became even more interested, "Oh, it turns out you are a friend of the Luo family, so we have to get to know each other better, because my brother and I often pass by Heshan for various things. County, so I usually don’t benefit from the Luo family less, so I still say the same thing, buddy, if you are useful to our place, just say it. If you have a small problem, we can help you directly for free, and if it is a big problem, you can I just need to pay some traveling expenses."

Seeing how generous this man was, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "Then, who are you from? If there is a chance, we can indeed cooperate."

The man nodded and said with a smile: "I am Huang Yan, the escort of Zhenxin Escort Bureau. I am responsible for the route from Shenglong City to Heluo City all year round. I also have more than 20 brothers with good martial arts skills under me. It's no problem to deal with more than fifty ordinary bandits. Of course, brother, if you tell us in advance, I can find more than thirty brothers to ensure that no bandits dare to provoke us in this area."

The escort from the escort agency?

It's a bit interesting. No wonder he wants to follow his route to establish a relationship with the Luo family, because the escort route he is responsible for does need to pass through Heshan County frequently, so if he can get along with the local snakes in Heshan County - the Luo family If they build a good relationship, their escort costs can be reduced, and they can also get a lot of help from the Luo family.

However, Liu Xing did have some special ideas for them, such as letting them participate in the "copy" of encircling Shanfeng.

Because Liu Xing felt that his group was still a little weak when facing the Luo family, it was necessary to hire some of his own people from all parties in Heshan County.

You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others.

Although judging from the current situation, Liu Xing and others are indeed in a cooperative relationship with the Luo family, Liu Xing and others have begun to suspect that the Luo family has evil intentions, so they may fall out with them after everything is settled. Therefore, To be on the safe side, Liu Xing felt that he and his team had to have some backup and be ready to fight the Luo family again at any time.

Therefore, an escort like Huang Yan is indeed a good choice.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing began to ask for a price, "Oh, then I may just need a team of people to help me in the past two days, so Brother Huang, please tell me a price first, so that I can see if I am still like this." Pay more to hire you.”

Huang Yan glanced at Liu Xing, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "It depends on what kind of help you need from us, brother, because we need to make a corresponding assessment based on the risk, so that we can determine the specific commission."

"Actually, I just want you to come over and help protect us, because in two days we will have the Luo family to work together to solve the big problem that has plagued Heshan County for decades. Although theoretically we have enough manpower, but To be on the safe side, we need to prepare more manpower... So this may just require you to go through a formality, or it may require you to go into battle in person to deal with a terrible enemy."

Liu Xing looked around pretendingly, and then continued: "This matter is related to the future of Heshan County, so if Brother Huang is willing to join, your relationship with the Luo family will definitely not be shallow in the future, and I will give you To be honest, if something unexpected happens then, all you have to do is run with us."

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Huang Yan suddenly showed an excited expression, because he also knew very well that if this matter was completed, he could become a guest of the Luo family, and he might be able to bring some brothers with him. Set up his own business and make a lot of money by monopolizing this escort line business.

It's just that Huang Yan hasn't been dazzled by the benefits yet because he knows that Liu Xing is painting a pie for himself. After all, the most important point - what exactly he wants to do, Liu Xing hasn't really said yet.

Of course, Huang Yan also knew that there were many people in this gambling house, so it was normal for Liu Xing not to say it directly. After all, the more people who knew something, the easier it would be for trouble to happen.

Thinking of this, Huang Yan said to Liu Xing: "Then I have to go back and discuss it with my brothers now, so boss, if you are free, let's meet at He's Brewery in the afternoon. You must know that He's Brewery is not only producing In addition to the fine wine, we also make some delicious snacks to go with the fruit wine, so it’s perfect to pass the time.”

Seeing Liu Xing nodding, Huang Yan stood up and left.

At this moment, Gou Sheng finally came over with a bottle of fruit wine.

Because it was still morning, and I didn’t know if Liu Xing was good with this sip, Gou Sheng brought a small bottle of more than 100 ml. In Liu Xing’s opinion, it was only a matter of two or three sips.

However, Liu Xing also knew what it meant to drink and make things worse, so he had no intention of drinking too much at the beginning.

But to be honest, the fruit wine produced by He's Winery is quite delicious. It is similar to the plum wine Liu Xing bought before from a certain Internet celebrity. However, Liu Xing can be sure that this is not plum wine, but Liu Xing said what kind of fruit was used to make wine, but Liu Xing couldn't tell for a while.

Seeing that Liu Xing was very satisfied with the fruit wine, Gou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, because he recommended this fruit wine to Liu Xing, so if Liu Xing was not satisfied with the fruit wine, he would still have to take the blame in the end. The rest is left to carry.

At this time, Liu Xing had lost the silver coin.

Zai didn't feel bad selling his father's land, but Liu Xing didn't feel bad if he was selling someone else's land, not to mention that the land was sold back to its original owner.

So Liu Xing casually pressed down another silver coin, and then asked Gou Sheng: "By the way, are there many escort agencies that specialize in this route in Heshan County?"

"Escort agencies? There are quite a lot of them, because our place is a shortcut that can save about a day to some places, so the escort agencies who want to go to those places will choose to pass by our Heshan County, and the location of our Heshan County It just so happens that if they rest for one night in Heshan County, they can reach their destination before dark the next day. Besides, our Luo family has always had a good reputation and is willing to provide some convenience to these escort agencies, so they are all very happy. Those who are willing to walk this line.”

Liu Xing nodded and continued: "Does your Luo family have any special connections with these escort agencies? For example, becoming partners or something?"

"That's not true." Gou Sheng shook his head and said, "How should I put it? Almost no one in our Luo family or in the entire Heshan County would choose to go out, so there is no need to use a bodyguard agency."

Liu Xing thought for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he concentrated on playing "Monopoly". As a result, he lost 7788 silver coins in his hand after a while, because Liu Xing found out that he had My luck is really bad.

And this also made Gou Sheng and the person in charge of rolling the dice feel a lot of pressure. After all, Liu Xing was a distinguished guest of the gambling house. It didn't matter that the distinguished guest didn't win money, but now he was about to lose all his wealth. This made Luo Yun Is it okay to know?

So when Gou Sheng saw that the situation was not good, he persuaded Liu Xing to give up "Monopoly" and turn to other tables to play other projects.

As a result, within a few minutes, Liu Xing became penniless.

This made Gou Sheng's forehead covered with sweat, because before he came to accompany Liu Xing, the shopkeeper told him to let Liu Xing have fun, but now Liu Xing has lost all his money, then How can you still be happy?

But Liu Xing didn't care about this at all, because these silver coins couldn't be taken away, so once they lost, they were lost, and it had no impact on him anyway.

Of course, Liu Xing also saw what Gou Sheng was thinking, so he patted Gou Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. Winning or losing is a common thing for military strategists. I have encountered the same situation before, and I failed." In a few days, I even won him back with profit, so if your boss wants to talk to you, just ask him to come to me, and I will definitely speak for you; but I am really not lucky today. It’s suitable to continue playing, so you can take me to find someone else now.”

As a result, after seeing other people's gains, Liu Xing suddenly became a little depressed, because he was the only one who lost. . .

This luck was so good that Liu Xing began to wonder if he was being secretly targeted by the kp fangs.

Because it was getting late, Liu Xing and others left the gambling house and returned to Luo Mansion. On the way, everyone also reached a consensus - the NPCs in Luo Family Gambling House were indeed "insufficient in investment." For example, Yin En found that he could only communicate with two NPCs at the same time. If he started talking to a third NPC, the first NPC would hang up directly.

As for Ding Kun, he also tested that there is indeed an upper limit to the NPC's line library, because he chatted with more than ten NPCs on the exact same topic, and found that some NPC's lines were almost exactly the same, with the time, place and character changed at most.

"It seems that the possibility of this being a virtual gaming space is higher than a dream."
