Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Vegetarian Village? The name of this village is a bit interesting. Does it mean that all the villagers like to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, so their favorite dish is vegetarian meat? But this is not scientific. If we humans are vegetarians for a long time, we will inevitably cause Without various trace elements, your physical condition will definitely deteriorate, and you will be considered useless in a few years. Of course, if you can take various medicines for a long time to supplement relevant nutrients, then it will not be a big deal if you continue to be a vegetarian. Problem." Baihecheng complained.

"But the problem is that in a small mountain village like this located deep in the Qinling Mountains, it is impossible for everyone to take vitamins, right? And I have followed some vegetarian bloggers on some video websites. Even if they take medicine, Supplementing nutrition, but lacking in physical fitness and strength, which is unacceptable to farmers who have to work in the fields, so I think the name of this vegetarian meat village should have another meaning. For example, this village is very Are you good at making vegetarian meat or crispy meat? Is it just that the crispy meat was called vegetarian meat in the process of spreading?" Wang Siyi said seriously.

Chen Xiu on the side smiled, shook his head and said: "Our ancestors finally gave us the freedom to eat meat, but some people don't know what they think. They have to live back and fight for grass with cattle and horses, which is a waste of us. It’s the painstaking efforts of my ancestors; of course I also know that some people really don’t want to eat meat, and I understand this part of the people quite well, because I haven’t liked onions and garlic since I was a child.”

"The same goes for me. I have always felt that onions and garlic are not delicious since I was a child."

Liu Xing continued: "But whether to be a vegetarian or not is a personal choice. As long as it does not affect my eating of meat, it will be fine. However, I seem to have seen a video before, saying that if our ancestors took the purely vegetarian route, then we Now I still have to swing with the monkeys in the deep mountains and old forests; and I heard that there is a very weird parallel world. The background seems to be the moment when our ancestors just fell from the trees. The player's attributes are terrible, but you can learn it. The skills are also very limited, but the benefits of clearing the module are very considerable, because players can easily pick up all kinds of good things, and may even evolve into a new race."

"Oh, I've heard of that parallel world too. It's the most famous parallel world in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. After all, the module backgrounds used in other parallel worlds are either modern, or 1920, at most It allows players to travel to other points in time during certain special modules, but this is basically a one-time time travel; and this parallel world with an ancient background is said to hide the secret of our human evolution, or that those players come to Demonstrate the evolution process of human beings... If the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is not a life-threatening place, I would actually like to get a character card to be born in this parallel world and experience what it is like to be a monkey. Take a look by the way. What were the mythical creatures from ancient times like?" Baihe City said with a longing look on his face.

"Then you might as well buy a plane ticket and fly to the Amazon rainforest now, then throw away your cell phone and other things, just wear all your clothes and walk into the rainforest to survive in the wilderness. That will almost satisfy your imagination." Chen Xiu couldn't help but said.

Baihe City shrugged, shook his head and said: "That's different. I heard that players in that parallel world only have one birth point, which seems to be a place called the Dark Forest. Of course, this dark forest is also composed of the first batch of players in the parallel world. The players got their names because when they were opening up the wasteland, every step they took, they felt that something would kill them; but now these players have built a castle with more than 300 players in the dark forest. , a camp with nearly a thousand NPCs! The most important thing is that these players can have almost unlimited free time after finishing the module!"

"Ah? Is there such a thing? Isn't this just like the players in the Cthulhu area?" Tian Qing said subconsciously.

"Yes, in theory, all the players in this parallel world are the ultimate low-end version of the Cthulhu area players, because in theory they can always stay in this parallel world, they just need to accept a mission occasionally, that is to participate in a mod; but in my opinion, the players in this parallel world are not playing the Cthulhu Run game, but a virtual online game called Rise of the Planet of the Apes, because these players enter the mod for the first time. When forming a group, it is equivalent to creating an account in this game, and then you need to build your own shack, follow other players and NPCs to collect various materials, and create various weapons and props, and then interact with various surrounding myths Combat creatures to improve their attribute values."

"Well, this is indeed a bit like an online game where you fight monsters and upgrade, except that players can only choose to become a gorilla." Liu Xing nodded.

"But because players are well-informed and can go offline to collect various information, this camp has a very unique style."

Baihe City became interested and introduced seriously to Liu Xing and others: "In this camp, you can see a group of gorillas and monkeys living in shacks, but there are some small wooden houses with glass scattered here and there. That kind of thing! Yes, these players have already obtained the necessary glass for time travellers, and after finding a coal mine and copper mine of good enough quality nearby, they even clicked on the bronze technology tree. Unfortunately, so far, there is no No iron ore or other ores have been found, so these players can only fight with bronze swords and some mythical creatures."

"This style of painting is indeed quite strange, but can these players really defeat mythical creatures?" Chen Xiu asked doubtfully.

"Of course, because the mythical creatures around here are basically original mythical creatures, and their strength is about the same as that of goblins. The winning rate of players fighting alone is about 50-50, but if there are more people, players will have Higher winning rate, because those mythical creatures don’t know what cooperation is.”

White River City replied: "As for the mythical creatures we are familiar with, such as ghouls, it seems that they have never appeared in the dark forest, because they can live in better places. For example, a player is exploring the border of the dark forest. At that time, they discovered a city near the lake in the distance, which looked like the territory of ghouls; so the players in this parallel world reached a consensus that before they occupied the entire dark forest, the well-known mythical creature was I won’t cause trouble for myself.”

Just when Liu Xing was about to speak, Baihe City continued: "So players in this parallel world often posted posts some time ago, saying that when we use white characters to waste time, we can choose to create an account in this parallel world, because of this Most of the parallel world modules are designed to explore a certain area of ​​the dark forest, or to eliminate a certain number of enemies. In short, the modules have no twists and turns, and they can also get support from other players! So you want to clear the module The grouping is not difficult, and at the same time, even if you no longer play this character card in the future, you can still add one more high-level NPC to this camp."

One thing to say, Liu Xing suddenly felt a little moved, because Liu Xing has never had such an "inhuman" experience, and as a book fan who has been reading online novels since he was a child, Liu Xing also has certain expectations for virtual online games. . . . Although in a strict sense the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is a virtual online game, it cannot defeat monsters and upgrade it!

What's more, a white character card is not expensive for Liu Xing, just spend a little money to travel to other parallel worlds.

Anyway, nothing happened during this time.

"Ahem, by the way, in Baihe City, by advertising this parallel world like this, are you taking money from those players?" Wang Siyi asked with a raised eyebrow.

Baihecheng chuckled and actually nodded, "I like to browse forums when I have nothing to do, so I met many friends with common topics in the forum, so one of my friends happened to be a player in that parallel world, and I The information I know happened to be what he told me; they recently discovered a new mine, and the specific ore is still uncertain, because the players who investigated this mine have been wiped out! Yes, it is near this mine There is a group of powerful mythical creatures, so those players want more fresh blood to join them, so that they can organize manpower to directly take over this mine."

"As for money and stuff, it's too tacky. This friend of mine sent me a souvenir in the real world. It's from some kind of mythical creature. Well, let's call it the inner elixir, because it's like hanging on my body. It gives you a lot of energy, like drinking Red Bull.”

As Baihecheng spoke, he took off a gold necklace from his neck, but in the middle was a small red ball, which looked a bit like a small hawthorn.

Chen Xiu touched the red ball on the side, and then said with a surprised look on his face: "It's interesting. I felt a lot better when I touched this ball, but as soon as I put it down, I felt like I was back to normal."

At this time, Wang Siyi also touched the red ball, and then said affirmatively: "I just paid attention and found that when I touched the red ball, my heart beat faster. It seems that this red ball The actual effect of the ball is to speed up the blood flow of those who come into contact, which is equivalent to an external stimulant, right?"

Liu Xing glanced at Baihe City, and then he understood why Baihe City in the real world always looked like he had too much energy. It turned out that this guy had been taking stimulants.

"Probably, but I haven't felt any discomfort after wearing it for so long."

Baihe City thought for a while and continued: "There are quite a lot of things like this in that parallel world. Basically, you can collect similar materials through a module, and then spend some money to bring these materials with you. In the real world, so if you are interested in going to this parallel world, remember to tell Pangu, the current manager of the camp, that you were introduced by me, and I will get some of the commission for you."

"Pangu? Your friend's name is a bit arrogant, isn't it?" Chen Xiu complained.

"Oh, by the way, players in this parallel world can change their names, and you can choose any name. After all, for those NPCs whose brains are not fully developed, your name is not important at all, because They hardly know your names, so the names are just more convenient for the players to call each other; so when the players formally established the camp, the leading players named them after gods such as Pangu and Odin, and the following In addition to some players who like to be active and take online names such as Upright Mao Ye and Repeater Ah San, more of them name themselves after historical figures, so you can see Aristotle and Sun Bin Let’s stab the goblins together with their bronze swords.”

"Well, then this is indeed quite fantasy."

Just as Liu Xing was about to say something else, he saw Liu Qindong and Lao Qiu getting up and leaving the teahouse. It seemed that Liu Qindong was preparing to send Lao Qiu away from Chengdu.

But back to the vegetarian meat village, Liu Xing has realized that the organization behind Liu Hanyue has built so many scenic spots near the vegetarian meat village. In fact, what he wants to get is the black crystal, and Liu Qindong and his teammates are very likely to do so after this. Will fight with Liu Hanyue.

However, Liu Xing remembered that Liu Qindong came to his home when he was a child, so he met Liu Tingting several times. They also played red and white machines together. Therefore, if Liu Qindong's memory is better, he should be able to recognize Liu Hanyue as Liu Tingting.

That would be interesting.

But Liu Xing is more worried that if something happens to Liu Hanyue, will Wu Lei have a confrontation with Liu Qindong? When the time comes, no matter who of his two old friends suffers the loss, Liu Xing will feel it is a pity.

However, Liu Xing has no way to change all this now, so he can only hope that Wu Lei can take Liu Hanyue to a place farther away for their honeymoon, so that Liu Hanyue will not have time to rush back to Qinling to participate in the same module as Liu Qindong.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing decided that if he had time later, he would go to Wu Lei and ask him if he had any plans for a honeymoon, and if so, where he would go.

At this moment, passers-by A, B, B, and D started talking about the explosion just now, because they got the news that the camera near the parking lot captured the cause and effect of all this - that car had a problem with the fuel tank, so it kept leaking oil. ; As a result, another car next to me started normally and somehow ignited the oil on the ground, and then the fire started and "followed the lead" and ignited the car.

"The reason for this is quite strange. It seems that another car may have hit a pebble on the ground when it started. Then when the pebble flew out, it fell near the puddle of oil, and the sparks generated by the friction were It set the oil on fire."
