Real Cthulhu Running Game

"It's a real pity that Zhenyu County is the most critical node of Baihe River. So as long as the major families cooperate well to build a port, everyone can make a lot of money. But as soon as this incident came out , the original big families in Zhenyu County have become history one by one, and in the end they have benefited the people watching the excitement."

Looking at Luo Yun with a sigh on his face, Baihe City couldn't help but ask: "So what is going on? Is it a big family that wants to build its own port, or are those who will benefit in the end sowing discord? ?”

Luo Yun shook his head and said seriously: "I don't know much about this, because Zhenyu County is still too far away from our Heshan County, so I have only heard some gossip, but what is certain is that This incident has little to do with the port, because the port has been prepared for construction before, so the distribution of the benefits of the port should have been completed; as for the final beneficiaries, they are all outsiders, and they all come from far away places. After all, you also know that our lord is very cautious. Counties like this that need to be filled are found from families thousands of miles away who don't want to do it."

After hearing this, Liu Xing was somewhat interested in the emperor in this parallel world, because he was too careful in doing things.

"That's right. Our Zhengqi Sect has only had five apprenticeships in the past two years. It is basically impossible to revitalize the sect unless a peerless genius comes to join us." Baihe City said helplessly. .

Quota?

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the new emperor would even come up with "ultimatums" in order to target various martial arts sects.

In some dynasties in Chinese history, monks were required to pay an ultimatum. After all, monks basically did not produce children, but also accepted support from ordinary people. This is equivalent to losing a labor force and adding another need." "supported" person.

This coming and going is equivalent to losing two laborers.

Therefore, if the number of monks is allowed to continue to grow, the country's available labor force will become less and less, and the taxes it can receive will also continue to decrease, so the ultimatum was born.

The ultivation certificate is equivalent to a special certificate for becoming a monk. Without the ultivation certificate, a monk will not be recognized accordingly. If discovered later, the monk and the temple where he lives will be in trouble.

In this way, the ultimatum becomes very important and also very valuable.

As a result, sometimes the government would give out blank ultimatums in exchange for money, and these ultimatums were very expensive to sell. For example, Su Shi used a hundred ultimatums as project funds to dredge the West Lake.

Think about it, a hundred ultimatums can complete a big project like dredging the West Lake. So is this ultimatum valuable?

"Yes, I received a blank letter of introduction from a friend of mine some time ago. If my friend hadn't been very short of money at the time, I wouldn't have been able to obtain this letter of introduction for only five thousand silver coins. .”

As soon as Luo Yun said this, Liu Xing and others couldn't help but be shocked, because after a simple calculation, it can be concluded that such a letter of introduction that allows the sect to recruit disciples may be worth more than one million.

"That's really cheap."

Baihecheng sighed, shook his head and said: "But you bought this letter of introduction for the chance to have a good relationship with a certain sect, right? So do you have a goal now? I can still advise you here. For a moment, because I’m not very good at learning this technique, but I have pretty good relationships with the surrounding sects. After all, I often run errands and deliver messages for my master.”

Hearing what Baihe City said, Luo Yun suddenly became interested, "Oh, Brother Bai, do you know what the situation is like in Zhenhai Sect? In addition to the Heshan River flowing into Baihe River, there is also a tributary that will directly reach Zhenhai Haiyun City is where the Zhenhaizong is located, so I have always wanted to have a good relationship with Zhenhaizong and undertake some goods related to them."

"Zhenhaizong."

After Baihe City pondered for a moment, he nodded and said: "I can only say that there is a chance, because Zhenhai Sect has not received many disciples in recent years. The reason is that the nearby Sea Dragon Society has been suppressing them. After all, both sects have They are trading with Buyeo and other places, so these colleagues are enemies, and both sides are trying to find ways to get the other side out; and the big sects like Jinhae Sect have a lot of eyes on them, so they want to make extra money without a letter of introduction. It is impossible to accept disciples, unless they want to defeat themselves and seek death. Therefore, if you can send a letter of introduction, then the Zhenhai Sect will probably agree to your request, but the Hailong Society may have to send you If you join the blacklist, if the Sea Dragon Society completely gains the upper hand, you will be in trouble."

"I know about the Sea Dragon Society, but I always thought that Zhenhai Zong could be on equal footing with the Sea Dragon Society. Why do you think, Brother Bai, that this Sea Dragon Society still has the upper hand?" Luo Yun asked in confusion.

Baihecheng smiled and replied: "That's because the Eighth Prince is already supporting the Hailonghui. After all, Qinghai City where the Eighth Prince is sitting is the territory of the Hailonghui, and Tian Hai of the Hailonghui is also the eighth prince's in-laws, so the Eighth Prince supports The Sea Dragon Club is also normal."

"Normal? Isn't this normal? Does the Eighth Prince really dare to collude with the Hailong Society? Isn't he worried that the Lord will escort him back to the capital?" Luo Yun said with wide eyes.

Baihe City became very serious at this time, "How can there be a sixty-year-old prince in this world? Now that your Excellency has been the emperor for so many years, all the princes below are very interested... And I heard that That lord has not appeared outside the court for almost a year, so there is someone.”

Looking at Baihecheng who was hesitant to speak, Liu Xing and others knew exactly what he wanted to say.

"I see. It seems that I have to consider whether this letter of introduction should be replaced by another person." Luo Yun said seriously.

At this moment, there was another noise outside the main hall, and the nurse at the door said after taking a look that he still saw nothing.

"We'd better rest."

Luo Yun hit him hard and said, "I usually fall asleep at this time, so I'm quite sleepy now."

Bai Hecheng smiled, spread out his quilt and said, "If you don't mind, sleep on my quilt. You were trapped in the Taoist temple just to save me, so I'll let you sleep directly on it." On earth, I just don’t know the current affairs.”

Luo Yun did not refuse, and Baihecheng started meditating directly on the futon.

As for Liu Xing and others, they sat in rows next to the wall. Because no one was used to sleeping directly on the floor, they could only lean against the wall and close their eyes to rest.

Nothing happened all night.

Early the next morning, Liu Xing was woken up in a daze, because the spell that besieged his group was indeed self-defeating as Baihe City said, and the other nursing homes who had been guarding outside all night also failed. The "savior" has already run in.

Of course, these nursing homes also tried to rush into the Taoist temple last night, but as soon as they got close to the Taoist temple, they unknowingly returned to the same place. So they had to go back and find other people to help, but they worked all night and made no progress. So I could only wait outside.

This is the end?

The confused Liu Xing and others were even more confused, because Liu Xing and others thought that something should happen during the third shift in the middle of the night. However, nothing happened, and the plot about the Taoist temple seemed to be over.

As a result, Liu Xing and others returned to their yard with blank faces, and it took a while before they regained their composure.

"That's it? That's it? That's it?"

Important things have to be said three times, so Yin En acts as a repeater.

"That's it!"

Liu Xing nodded and said: "If nothing unexpected happens, then the plot of Taoist Temple will end here. However, it seems that nothing happened, but the sudden appearance of Baihe City brought out a lot of information. And it sounds like it’s pretty important.”

"But this information is of no use to us at all, because we will leave this module in one day." Yin En shook his head and replied.

"Yes, this information will not be used until a long time later, so is this Tenard paving the way for future modules? That is unlikely. Tenard should not be able to continue setting up Subsequent modules." Zhang Jingxu said with a frown.

After Liu Xing thought for a while, he said seriously: "So I think this module was not simple from the beginning. Maybe Tener did not imagine this module out of thin air, which means that the content in this module In fact, it comes from other places, so Turner wants us to have access to these contents in advance, so that we can be one step ahead when we come into contact with related content later... I am thinking of those special modules now, maybe We may enter this fictional world again in the future, no, it should be a real fictional world, this is just a pirated version copied by Turner."

"I agree with Liu Xing's idea, because from the plot we know, Heshan County is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a much larger world with a very complete setting outside, so it is unlikely that Turner will be in Kesu. Lupaotuan Game Hall has created so much content under its nose, and there is no need for Turner to do this. Therefore, I also think that Turner may have copied such a plot from somewhere, and even used every opportunity to give it to us. Instill more plots; as for special modules, it is indeed possible that this parallel world with a martial arts background will appear, after all, fairy tale-type modules have been released before." Ding Kun said.

"Then this should be another large-scale event, and there are many forces that players can choose from."

Liu Xing continued: "Judging from the current situation, this should be an empire that has just completed its rebirth. Although decades have passed, the emperor has still not changed, so it is normal for the princes below to be ready to make a move. Moreover, the emperor has been suppressing martial arts people in recent years, so these martial arts people may seek refuge with those princes, or simply set up their own business; in addition, the remnants of the previous dynasty may also take this opportunity to make trouble, and when it comes to Zhenhaizong Also talking about Buyeo and other places, if I remember correctly, this should be a small overseas country, so we cannot rule out the possibility that these small countries also want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie."

"If this is the case, then this module will be really lively, but the problem is that such a parallel world will be quite uncomfortable for us. After all, the martial arts world and the skills we have learned in the modern module will be different. There are many discrepancies." Ding Kun sighed and said: "For example, my marksmanship has become completely useless in this parallel world. This is not good news."

Liu Xing nodded and said with a wry smile: "Yes, although my medical skills are very high, because my medical foundation is based on modern medicine, if I use medical skills in this module, it will be successful. The rate will be directly discounted by half, and the treatment effect will be worse...so I am considered useless in this module."

"Absolutely. Character cards like ours built on modern modules will definitely suffer when we come to this special parallel world. After all, the same skills have different interpretations in different eras."

When Zhang Jingxu wanted to say something else, several servants came with breakfast, and at the same time brought news to Liu Xing and others, that is, the annual cockfighting competition in Heshan County will be held within an hour. At first, if Liu Xing and others were interested, they could go directly to the Luo Family Gambling House.

Liu Xing and others will definitely not refuse, because this is definitely a good opportunity to gain points. After all, Liu Xing and others can crush a fighting cock by themselves. Isn't it easy to guess the top spot like this?

As a result, when Liu Xing and others came to the Luo Family Gambling House, they discovered that there were a hundred fighting cocks participating in the competition today!

"It was a miscalculation. I thought we could 100% win the championship of this cockfighting competition, but in the end our success rate was only 10%."

Liu Xing put his hands on his hips, shook his head and said: "What should we do? Let's each choose a number we like? Or ask the kp to make a lucky decision? But this lucky decision must be a big success to win the championship?"

"No, if you achieve great success in the lucky decision, you can only win the top three in the cockfighting competition at most. This means that you still only have a one-third chance of winning the championship." kp Jianya stood up and said.

"One-third of five percent? Then this success rate is too low, right?"

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "Then we might as well just choose a fighting cock. Anyway, the success rate is not much different."

After Liu Xing finished speaking, he chose Gamecock No. 7.
