Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Oh, really?"

Liu Xing looked at Ao Guanhai with some surprise. He didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.

"No problem. In fact, those shadow players can rejoin the Cthulhu Run Game Hall themselves, but it will be a little more troublesome. First, they need to buy a new mobile phone, and then transfer the App of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. In the past; yes, although the Cthulhu Run Game Hall App cannot be deleted, it can be transferred or copied to other mobile phones, but so far almost no one has done so, because players are After discovering that the App cannot be deleted, there will naturally be no next step, and the mobile phone loaded with the Cthulhu Run Game Hall App will also be strengthened. All aspects of data will crush all current mobile phones, so naturally No player will want to change their mobile phones," Ao Guanhai said with a smile.

Liu Xing deeply agrees with Ao Guanhai's words, because this enhanced mobile phone is indeed very easy to use. Not only is the Internet speed fast, but it also does not incur any fees. As for the built-in search engine, it can do everything. According to the search, even the movies shot by Serizawa Tamao in the legendary ancient times can be found, even if some movies have not been uploaded to the Internet.

Here I have to complain about the island country’s “video rental” business, and of course now it has to include DVDs.

I believe that all friends who were born in the 1990s will still remember the DVD rental stores that were everywhere in the 2000s, because at that time, as long as you bought a DVD player, you could watch movies and TV series that had not been shown on TV, and as time went by With the passage of time, the price of this DVD player has also been declining. For example, Liu Xing remembers that he bought his own DVD player when he was in the first year of junior high school, and it only cost more than 100 yuan at that time.

As for why he bought a DVD player, Liu Xing used the CDs that came with some textbooks as a cover, saying he wanted to study hard. . . Naturally, I ended up watching anime.

However, with the emergence of smartphones, the DVD rental shops that were once everywhere were melting like snow under the sun, and soon disappeared completely. At least there were no DVD rental shops within a few kilometers of Liu Xing's home. Of course, the rental bookstores that were very popular in the past have also disappeared. After all, this mobile phone can solve all problems.

But in the island country, the video rental shops are still prosperous. Of course, many video rental shops and bookstores have a symbiotic relationship, and everyone does business under one roof.

I believe some people who have paid attention to the sales lists of anime Blu-ray discs and photo albums in the island country know that those popular anime and popular photo albums can only sell a few thousand sets, and if they sell tens of thousands, they are considered annual hits. As for how many sets? Although one hundred sets seems very small to us, it is a very normal figure.

This is because most people will choose to "rent instead of buying". Unless they are the kind of enthusiasts who are willing to collect, they will buy these Blu-ray discs directly.

Of course, the same is true for the works of some teachers.

However, this has also resulted in many film and television works, especially the CDs of old movies, still being circulated in rental stores, so it is difficult or even completely impossible to find these film and television works online. After all, compared to those that leave traces It is more convenient to rent discs online or directly offline.

So if you want to collect some old and rare film and television works, the best way is to go to some rental stores in the island country, especially the independent ones. There will most likely be something you want there. DVD, or videotape.

There is no way, this is a shipwreck, and it is difficult for Maguire to turn around. There are too many home screening devices for DVDs and video tapes in the island country, so it will be difficult to completely eliminate them for a while. Therefore, this huge market has allowed the movies of the island country to Preparations for the release of DVDs begin when the TV series is released, so DVD revenue often exceeds box office revenue. This is one of the reasons why the overall box office of the island country is not too high. After all, many people will not enter the theater. , just waiting to rent a disc and watch a movie.

"By the way Liu Xing, in addition to those board game boxes, if you want to know more about martial arts modules, you can also get relevant information from other sources."

Ao Guanhai looked at the thoughtful Liu Xing and continued: "I can't tell you exactly how to do it, but I can tell you that as long as it is a medium that can transmit information, it is possible for martial arts modules to appear Information, except for this network, because you also know that today’s network is so convenient. You can get a lot of information just by entering a reliable keyword, so if we put the information about the martial arts module on it If so, all of you players will find out in a few days; by the way, just like this board game blind box, players have different difficulty in obtaining information from other channels, which also determines whether the information obtained is important."

After hearing what Ao Guanhai said, Liu Xing felt that he needed to go to the island country to "treasure hunt", because as long as Ao Guanhai was not fooling himself, he should be able to get martial arts models from those old video tapes and DVDs. Group-related information, and this should yield some important information in terms of difficulty.

"It seems that Liu Xing, you have already guessed what to do, so I won't keep you here now. If you have nothing to do, you can go back."

After Ao Guanhai finished speaking, he put on a pair of sunglasses and continued to bask in the sun leisurely.

Just when Liu Xing was about to leave, he suddenly thought about Baihe City and Gaia, so he couldn't help but said: "I heard about a mythical creature called Gaia yesterday. The powder on its wings can be used to avoid The Hounds of Tindalos are chasing me, I don’t know if this is true or not.”

Ao Guanhai looked at Liu Xing, nodded and said: "There is such a mythical creature, but it is usually placed on the home planet of the Yi people. It is basically impossible for you players to get there, so there is no way to get it. Gaia's wing powder, because this thing was originally specially used by some NPCs to protect them from the attacks of the Hounds of Tindalos after traveling through time and space, or it can also be said to prevent the Hounds of Tindalos from entering a certain place. Some mods.”

After hearing this, Liu Xing understood the meaning of the existence of Gaia. To put it bluntly, it was a professional patch made to allow some modules to exist reasonably.

"But if I remember correctly, several Gaia bugs have recently escaped to the real world, because in a parallel world some time ago, the Yi people's home planet was attacked by the Mi. We wanted to obtain some materials from the Yithians to strengthen the Old One, but as a result, some Gaia bugs took the opportunity to escape."

Ao Guanhai took a sip of his drink and continued: "However, only a few players know about the Gaia worm, and even these players who know the Gaia worm don't know what it looks like, so these escapes from reality. I’m too lazy to arrange for shadow players to capture the Gaia bug in the world, since this thing will definitely not survive the summer anyway.”

It seems that what Baihe City said is true.

Liu Xing nodded, and then told him about the circus.

"This is not the first time this has happened."

Ao Guanhai sighed, shook his head and said: "Although these mythical creatures that escaped from the Cthulhu Running Group game hall will be weakened to varying degrees, their intelligence level will not change, so most mythical creatures are After realizing that they have left the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, they will choose to hide themselves and live in the real world. After all, they also know very well that as long as they are discovered by humans after being weakened, they will most likely not be able to hide. It’s a word of death, but in your modern society, there aren’t many places to hide.”

"So these mythical creatures often hide in the same place. Over time, a group of mythical creatures gather together to make a living. They may go directly to the inaccessible mountains and old forests to establish a new tribe, or they may create a new tribe in the sea. In the city, of course, there are some mythical creatures who choose to start their own businesses in the city in order to live a better life. The ones I know of include haunted houses, amusement parks, theme restaurants and other places where monsters can appear openly, and some even The mythical creature simply became an internet celebrity."

Having said this, Ao Guanhai couldn't help but rub the back of his head, "But these mythical creatures gathered together are indeed quite difficult to deal with, because there are not many shadow players in a city, and the attacks they can use The means are also relatively limited, especially in places with a lot of people; so there are currently six gathering places of mythical creatures in the real world, and their number exceeds fifty. The shadow players around them are helpless with them. , in the end they could only sign a peace contract. These mythical creatures cannot go out to cause trouble casually, and shadow players will not do anything to them, so I suggest Liu Xing and your friends also work in this direction."

Liu Xing nodded, said thank you and left the Cthulhu Run Game Hall.

Back in the real world, Liu Xing discovered that Yin En was asking everyone to go out online and play the popular games brought by Turings. Because Liu Xing was still chatting with Ao Guanhai at the time, the phone automatically called Yin En. En replied to the message - not available.

In the end, everyone except Liu Xing went to a nearby Internet cafe.

Anyway, he had nothing to do, so Liu Xing packed up his things and went to the Internet cafe, where he saw Yin En and others playing games.

This Internet cafe was naturally packed with seats, and almost everyone was playing the martial arts game. This also made Liu Xing suddenly think of a question, that is, is there any relationship between this martial arts game and the upcoming martial arts module?

Liu Xing thought about it and found that there is a certain connection between the two, because the first map of this martial arts game is in a valley, and as the game time goes by, there will be a black mist to restrict it. The player's range of activities finally forces all players to stay in one area, and then a flower will appear at a random location in this area. If the player wants to collect this flower, it will take five seconds. And no other actions are allowed at this time!

And when a player gets this flower and enters the range of the black mist, then this player and his team can directly win. Of course, when there is only the last player or a team of players left in this area, Then they are the final winners.

At that time, Liu Xing thought that this was just an ordinary chicken-eating mode, because it was similar to the basic settings of other chicken-eating games. But now, at a glance, he discovered that it might have some inexplicable connection with the Valley of Life and Death in Aoguan Haikou. connect!

Although Ao Guanhai did not provide a map of the Valley of Life and Death, Ao Guanhai mentioned that the terrain of the Valley of Life and Death is very complex, and the map of "Martial Arts Dream" is also a valley, and in order to accommodate up to a hundred players to participate In the game, there are several large resource areas and more than ten wild areas in this map. The terrains of these areas are different, and there are also some man-made buildings. However, these man-made buildings are in dilapidated condition and are in a state of being destroyed. damaged state.

As for the so-called black fog in this game, it actually echoes the activity time in Aoguan Haikou, because a game of "Martial Arts Dream" only lasts for thirty minutes at most! The most important thing is that the first way to win in "Martial Arts Dream" is to get an unknown flower, and this is consistent with the rebirth flower!

Could this be the map of the Valley of Life and Death? !

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately recalled the map of "Martial Arts Dream" and found that he could still write down the situation of several large resource areas. As for some wild areas, he could also recall everything.

If this is really the map of the Valley of Life and Death, then Liu Xing feels that he still has a chance to compete for the Rebirth Flower.

After playing in the Internet cafe for another whole afternoon, Liu Xing and others went out for dinner with unfulfilled expectations.

"If we were not players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, we would probably become die-hard fans of this game, because this game is so awesome, and it also has a mysterious numbing feeling."

Yin En smiled and continued: "So, do we want to go play for a while tonight? It will also allow us to adapt to the upcoming martial arts module in advance?"

"Is there a possibility that this martial arts game is related to the upcoming martial arts module?"

As soon as Liu Xing said this, everyone present was stunned.

"This is what I think. Since Tener can know the existence of the martial arts module in advance, how could Turings, as the old ruler, not know about it? And after all, Turings is still an artificial intelligence, so it There should be a reference when creating these games. After all, the foundation of artificial intelligence is based on big data, so isn’t it normal for it to use some data from martial arts modules to build "Martial Arts Dream"?"

Liu Xing said seriously: "So we still need to collect relevant information about this game."
