Real Cthulhu Running Game

"If nothing else happens, there will be some modules that will take place in the real world in the future, but in order to ensure that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall can control these modules and prevent most ordinary people from knowing about the Cthulhu Run Game Hall We will select some cities around the world as pilot projects, and Chengdu has been identified as one of them."

Ao Guanhai sighed, shook his head and said: "Originally, I planned to remove Chengdu from the pilot list, but because there are too many players in Chengdu and there are many related modules, everyone else agreed to remove Chengdu from the pilot list. As a pilot area! Therefore, after this, a module may appear anytime and anywhere in Chengdu, and then force ordinary people around to automatically transform into NPCs, or these ordinary people are unknowingly involved in the Cthulhu Run. In the games in the group game hall, if they react in time, they may still become players."

"I understand. I will arrange for my family to leave Chengdu later, but where should they go?" Wu Lei asked quickly.

"Well, it's best to choose a place where there are not many people but a lot of people, because a place with a lot of people means a relatively large number of players, and a place with few people is prone to the occurrence of mods. Land, I believe you as a former player should know this very well. Most modules take place in sparsely populated places. After all, the three words Cthulhu are linked to mystery."

Ao Guanhai thought for a while and added, "By the way, you can exclude all coastal cities, because deep divers may appear in those places! And these deep divers who have just arrived in the real world Submarines will start their own business, which is to use human greed to establish their own land stronghold, and then use various methods to turn the humans in the stronghold into their own, and in this process only one fifth One deep diver stronghold may derive modules, which means that other strongholds will complete this process step by step! Of course, if local ordinary people discover what these deep divers and the traitors absorbed by them are doing, Then these strongholds may not be able to take shape.”

Wu Lei nodded as if he understood, and then said: "So these ordinary people who find problems will also join the Cthulhu Running Game Hall? In this way, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall can only accommodate a large number of people. Will it be full instantly?”

After Wu Lei failed to attack the Azathoth area, he became a senior worker in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. Although he does not need to do 996 every day like a kp and a module writer, he still has to inspect and test various aspects from time to time. Modules, or to deal with some mythical creatures and NPCs that don't look right; but more often than not, they sort out various data in the background of the Cthulhu Run game lobby. When certain data reaches a certain value, Wu Lei He will report this situation to his superior, Ao Guanhai.

That's right, when a player becomes a staff member of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, he must choose to work for a "manager". The "manager" here naturally refers to Ao Guan Hai and its brothers and sisters. However, because the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has only two to three resident "managers" during normal operation, new staff members in different time periods can choose different "managers". Moreover, when a certain "manager" has accepted a sufficient number of staff during this period, he will stop accepting people, so new staff at this time have no choice.

Of course, if you are a player from a high-level area and your performance in the module is pretty good, then you may receive an invitation from one or even multiple "managers"; get this kind of treatment Players will basically become the confidants of the "manager".

Wu Lei received Ao Guanhai's invitation immediately, and also accepted the invitation immediately, because Wu Lei knew that among Nyarlathotep's many clones, Ao Guanhai was already the most powerful. Good choice, after all, he still looks like a human being.

After that, compared to other high-level workers, Wu Lei did not need to patrol everywhere. Instead, he sat directly in the office as a white-collar worker and only needed to make decisions based on changes in the "player statistics table" every day. How many new players should be recruited from the real world, and how many players in each area should start to advance to the module!

Yes, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall seems to be recruiting new players completely randomly, but in fact there are routines. For example, when the number of players in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall drops to a certain level, Wu Lei will randomly recruit players from the real world according to a certain ratio, and the ratio here is composed of "ordinary people who have only heard of Cthulhu Myth/Cthulhu Running Group Game", "people who are familiar with Cthulhu Myth/Cthulhu Team Games" It is composed of four types of people: "cloud players who have a certain understanding of the Cthulhu Run game", "senior enthusiasts who are very familiar with the Cthulhu Myth/Cthulhu Run game", and "big guys".

To put it simply, the first two types of people are basically the companions of the latter two types of people.

As for when players can advance to the promotion module, although it seems that it will be automatically triggered after reaching certain conditions, in fact it is still strictly controlled by the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby. To put it simply, it is a certain There can only be a certain number of players in an area, so when the players in a certain area reach the numerical limit, then the players in the lower area will not be able to get promotion modules no matter how good they perform; however, situations like this are more or less easy. It rarely happens, because the "digestion" speed of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall is quite fast, and as time goes by, the number of players in each area will increase to a certain extent.

Of course, although Wu Lei can choose when to recruit new players and provide players with promotion modules, Wu Lei will not know the names of the corresponding players, so there is no way to open a backdoor for old friends like Liu Xing.

However, Wu Lei, who had just started this job, was very puzzled, that is, why does the Cthulhu Run Game Hall limit the number of players? So he took the time to ask Ao Guanhai this question, and Ao Guanhai's answer was very simple.

Can't fit.

"Wu Lei, you should remember what I told you before, right? The Cthulhu Running Team game hall is like a mobile hard drive. You employees, ordinary NPCs, and various parallel worlds are just strings of codes that have been embedded into the underlying logic of this mobile hard disk, so the space you occupy is actually very limited; but players are different. If we compress them directly into code, then they will not be able to return to the real world, so every player will occupy This mobile hard drive has a large amount of storage space, so to be on the safe side we need to reserve enough storage space for this mobile hard drive to avoid data overflow and the like.”

"However, there is really too little that players can bring to the Cthulhu Run game lobby, so we chose to expand our business into the real world. In this way, we can get rid of memory limitations. However, due to the The data line between the Sulu Running Group game hall and the real world has not yet been upgraded, so the amount of data that can be transmitted is only a little bit more, so it is not possible to directly and completely open the scene; as for ordinary people who can see the situation clearly, they will Priority will be given to becoming the next batch of novice players, but they may also become existences similar to shadow players, but we should arrange a system for them to make these people mistakenly think that they are the chosen ones."

Speaking of this, Ao Guanhai showed a strange smile, "Actually, when I first arrived on Earth in the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall, I noticed that there is something called novels on the Earth. The wild imaginations of those novel authors It's powerful, but it makes me, a guy who thinks he's well-informed, always be amazed, and this is why I decided to introduce mod authors in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, because the previous unchanging modules have already made me proud. I'm tired of seeing it! So this time the big update of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is actually because after reading a lot of online novels, I feel that the system is actually very useful and can allow those who have experienced mythical creatures or supernatural beings. Ordinary people with strength are more likely to accept reality and better integrate into the new world established in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall."

Hearing what Ao Guanhai said, Wu Lei couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, because he knew that these ordinary people who thought they had obtained the system might end up more miserable than the players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. After all, the players At least there is a chance to resist, and these ordinary people are just a group of complete tools.

"Okay, now all the modules are in normal operation, so I will go back to the Cthulhu Run game lobby first."

Ao Guanhai patted Wu Lei on the shoulder and said seriously: "Remember my words, if you want to live a normal life with your family now and continue to live with your relatives and friends after the finale, just Act according to the plan we agreed on, and don't make any extraneous things, and don't let Liu Xing discover any anomalies that are not within the plan!"

Wu Lei nodded, and just when Ao Guanhai was about to return to the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, he suddenly said: "Mr. Ao Guanhai, I have a question that I must ask you, otherwise I may fall asleep every day after this." No! That’s why you chose me to complete this plan, is it because Liu Xing and I are friends?!”

"That's right."

Ao Guanhai did not show off, and nodded directly and said: "Although my personality is that I like to lie very much, I will not go out of my way to construct lies on some insignificant things, so I will tell you clearly here. Well, in fact, the reason why I invited you to join me in the first place was because I had already set my sights on Liu Xing, and you were Liu Xing’s good friend and leader.”

After saying that, Ao Guanhai returned directly to the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, while Liu Hanyue left silently.

At this time, Wu Kun, who was standing not far away, felt Ao Guanhai leaving, so he came over and said, "Brother, what is the situation now? Do we really want to play Liu Xing?"

"if not."

Wu Lei said calmly: "Now that things have happened, do we have any other choice? If you hadn't been deceived back then, we wouldn't be in this situation now."

Wu Kun rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said somewhat depressedly: "Oh, I didn't expect that guy to be an undercover agent at the time, and they had such a big plot to kill us all... The most important thing is What’s more, we were really unlucky in the last module. If there were a few more successful judgments, we probably wouldn’t have been wiped out by the team.”

"Yeah, I admit that I have to bear a certain amount of responsibility in this matter, because although I felt that the situation was not quite right, I also thought that even if that guy was an undercover agent, he could at most stab one of us in the back. , but I didn’t expect those guys to be really brave. You know, I looked for opportunities to conduct several deductions after that, and found that the possibility of us dying together reached 80%! Even if we were destroyed by the group, they would have to lose at least half of them. Manpower! Unfortunately, our luck in the last module was really bad... But now, I highly doubt that we were tricked by Ao Guanhai!"

Wu Kun frowned and said with some surprise: "Brother, what you said is too outrageous. Aren't you afraid that Ao Guanhai will hear it? And Ao Guanhai should not interfere with the normal progress of the module. Bar?"

"You don't know, in fact, Ao Guanhai has been targeting us because of Liu Xing, and the design made us lose our identity as players; in this way, when Liu Xing is promoted to the Cthulhu area, Ao Guanhai can look for opportunities Let us out and get close to Liu Xing."

Wu Lei said seriously: "Ao Guanhai doesn't care what we think, because he knows that we will definitely continue the plan he set for the sake of our family. After all, the kind of person who can give up the future of his whole family for a friend, Maybe it will only appear in some trashy movies and TV shows.”

Wu Kun sighed, nodded and said: "That's right. Although I feel sorry for Liu Xing by doing this, we have to do it now. Besides, if this plan goes smoothly, it will not cause any loss to Liu Xing, and even Liu Xing should thank us."

Wu Lei thought for a while, shook his head and said: "According to the pie that Ao Guanhai painted for us, Liu Xing should indeed praise us for our good acting after knowing the truth, but the question is whether Ao Guanhai lied to us at this time, Or is he hiding some key clues... By the way, Akun, go tell your parents now that we will travel to a distant place tomorrow and let them prepare everything."
