Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Oh, He Rong, has your uncle been arrested? How is he doing now?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

"Yes, my uncle has been arrested. I heard from others that he only suffered some superficial injuries when he came out of the car. Of course, the possibility that he suffered internal injuries cannot be ruled out... But I really didn't expect it. He is so ruthless, he wants to kill his relatives out of justice without even saying a word."

He Rong said with lingering fear: "To be honest, I knew that my uncle might want to do something to me, but I didn't expect that he would want to kill me as soon as he came up. If I happened to be at the door at that time, I think I would There is a chance that this dump truck will transport you to another world."

"So no matter what, He Rong and your family have to move as soon as possible, because although your uncle's operation is quite scary, if he intends to defend himself, then he can say that it was due to his improper operation. The vehicle rolled over, so the most he can do is go to jail and stay for a few years before being released. After all, he didn't directly say what he wanted to do to you before that." Deng Yan said seriously.

He Rong nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right. Although my uncle did not say that he would kill me and my family before, it can be seen from his current actions that this person He is really crazy and does not regard my family as his relatives, so before he comes out, I have to move with my parents and leave Chengdu! Anyway, my tutor has promised me some time ago that as long as nothing happens, If so, I can stay in school and become a teacher next year, so I plan to settle there."

"Congratulations, He Rong, it would be great if you can stay in school as a teacher with your major in this major. After all, it will not be easy for you to find a suitable job after you go out, unless you are willing to give up your chemistry major and find another way out. ." Song He said with a smile.

He Rong sighed, shrugged and said: "Yeah, my major is now a typical high-level job, and a low-level job. If you want to find a suitable high-paying job, those companies look down on my school, because you can find the same salary. Employees from better schools... But if you want me to take a step back and find those ordinary jobs, I will feel that my postgraduate studies are in vain, so when I wanted to go out to find a job, I really The more I look for it, the more depressed I become.”

“Fortunately, I have made some achievements during this period, and I have completed a few experiments, so my teacher recommended me to the school as soon as he was happy, and I got the opportunity to stay in the school as a teacher; Although the salary of staying in school as a teacher is quite average, you can use the school's laboratory to continue doing your own thing. This can be regarded as leaving yourself a long-term lottery ticket. You can scratch it when you have nothing to do. Maybe that day I came up with a good thing after researching it, which brought me directly to the top of my life.”

Hearing what He Rong said, Liu Xing thought of the lottery compass, so after thinking for a moment, he said: "By the way, He Rong, I have a friend who is in the same major as you. He said that your circle has recently started to Before the popular experiment, I drew lots to check Feng Shui, and it seems to be quite accurate, right?”

He Rong looked at Liu Xing with some surprise, then nodded and said: "Yes, many laboratories in our field have begun to popularize the practice of opening the laboratory before starting work. This can be regarded as a custom that started many years ago. ?After all, you also know that we also have to rely on luck when conducting experiments, especially those experiments that are not sure and are very expensive. If an accident occurs, it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also cost money. Therefore, some people have Before doing experiments, I would light incense or something in the dormitory, more or less for psychological comfort; this is a bit like many card games nowadays. If you are not willing to risk your life to make money, you are not the chosen one. As for Ou Huang, then you can only believe in metaphysics, such as taking a look at the card you want to draw before drawing a card, or drawing a circle to frame the card."

"Of course, before this, metaphysical practices like this were all personal behaviors, and they were generally not carried out in laboratories. After all, our major in biochemical environmental materials is still very scientific; but, for people like me, The school doesn't have so many rules, because the laboratory can't produce any results all year round. If we continue to use the drawing card game as an analogy, it will be drawn ten times a year. The final result will be a blue sky and white clouds. After all, these experiments have no guarantee. Yes, so now many schools like mine have gone bankrupt, and the experiments they do every year are just to complete the task and ensure that they still have research funds next year."

"Therefore, I heard that some students started to work hard. I don't know where they got some bamboo tubes for drawing lots, and even compasses and Five Emperors coins. Outsiders didn't know it and thought our experiment failed. We decided to collectively shave off our hair and make a fortune. Unexpectedly, this operation actually had an effect and brought the success rate of those laboratories to a higher level. This is a real effect! To be honest, this effect is enough for us to experiment. Everyone in the room kowtowed together before performing the operation, so this set of operations quickly became popular and was improved bit by bit. For example, the draw must be made of bamboo tubes, not wooden barrels or other materials. , and the number of bamboo sticks inside is also regulated.”

"In short, there is now a website dedicated to making props, and it is only open to relevant practitioners like us, so this matter seems to be spreading more and more, and it makes us scientists really want to collectively switch to theology. Home... But the problem is that this set of operations is really useful. I have personally seen my teacher rely on this set of operations to successfully complete two experiments in a row with an original success rate of only about 20%. times, so I tried it a little bit, and then successfully completed several experiments.”

At this point, He Rong sighed, "To be honest, I now consider myself a proper scientist, so I still reject this kind of operation because it is really unscientific. It’s completely beyond my knowledge; but it’s really fragrant. Just move your little hands casually and you can increase the success rate of your experiment to a higher level. Then no one will choose to refuse.”

Although He Rong said "I have to believe it," as a player who has trained his "Observation of Moments" skill to 80 points in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, Liu Xing could tell that He Rong was a little bit spoiled. A lie is definitely not telling the truth.

So the thing about the lottery tube and compass should be true, and He Rong has already experienced it and chosen to join.

That would be interesting.

"By the way, I also heard a piece of news when I came here today, that is, the website I just mentioned doesn't know whether it plans to engage in hunger marketing or if it really wants to make a living. In short, it doesn't want to make any money. It was decided that only a certain number of products would be launched every month, and buyers would have to bind their own schools and laboratories, because each school and laboratory could only have one or two of its products, so this led to a certain Two laboratories fought for the right to use this thing, and they fought each other. In short, some very embarrassing things happened, so several schools discussed it and we were not allowed to spread these things." He Rong added.

Song He smiled after hearing this, nodded and said: "It's easy to understand. If it were me, I wouldn't let the students spread these things, because even if it is really effective, in the eyes of outsiders it is What a joke! For example, the famous smog-proof lasers and kelp-wrapped submarines a few years ago sound funny to ordinary people like me, but it is still possible at a practical level; and as the saying goes, , this rumor spreads with just one mouth and refutes the rumor. When ordinary people hear this kind of news, they treat it as a joke and do not really understand the inside story. Moreover, when chatting with others, they just say it as a joke, so this rumor Ten, it will be passed down a hundred times, and eventually it will become a convention."

"Well, Song He, your words reminded me of several classic rumors. These rumors have existed for more than ten or twenty years. Although they were refuted at the time, many people still regard them as common sense now, and even There are signs of being passed down from generation to generation; for example, the earliest rumor that aluminum pots are poisonous and causes cancer is a classic, because the rumor monger did not do it intentionally, but his half-filled pot of water jingled, and he only knew that aluminum was seriously harmful to the human body, but he I didn’t know that there is a dense oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum pot, which can ensure that aluminum ions will not come into contact with food. This oxide layer is very stable and there is no problem in normal use. As a result, this rumor finally ruined the aluminum pot. this industry.”

Deng Yan sighed and said helplessly: "I have an uncle who used to sell various kitchen utensils and cutlery. The aluminum pots that were rumored to be light, durable and cheap sold very well at the time. I want all of you here to be young. Have you ever seen aluminum pots at home? As soon as this rumor came out, the sales of aluminum pots in my uncle's store dropped to zero. This batch of goods was all in his hands; but the most important thing was that it made him angry I had high blood pressure, and when I accidentally fell down in the store, I even pulled down a shelf nearby, and ended up becoming hemiplegic..."

"this..."

Liu Xing and others couldn't help but fell into silence.

Just like what Deng Yan said, Liu Xing also remembered that there were several aluminum pots at home when he was a child. They were very convenient for braised meat and boiled water. However, after the rumor that "aluminum pots are toxic and carcinogenic" came out, his family The aluminum pot was shelved and never used again; and when Liu Xing knew this was a rumor, he was already in college, so Liu Xing, who lived on campus, did not mention the matter immediately. He told his parents that when he came home one day, he saw his parents selling scrap products, including the aluminum pots at home. Only then did Liu Xing remember to refute the rumor to his parents. As a result, Liu Xing's parents were very surprised at the time. , because they always thought it was true.

Of course, Liu Xing is now on some food video websites. As long as there are rumors about aluminum pots and MSG, someone will definitely say that it causes cancer, and it is not just one person who is saying it, so it can be seen from this. These rumors that appeared more than ten or twenty years ago could not be refuted in time because of the underdeveloped information transmission conditions at that time. As a result, many people still do not know that these rumors are false.

If there had been no Internet, Liu Xing feels that these rumors might really be passed down from generation to generation, and eventually become a truth!

"So the rumors are terrible. I remember that America recently released a TV series. The name seems to be "New Gods". The content is about a group of new gods emerging from human imagination in the context of the new era. Born out of worship and worship, such as the God of the Internet, the God of Machines, etc., these gods took away part of the authority of old gods such as Odin and Jesus; among them, the one that impressed me the most was the God of Communication, because he directly He completely absorbed the authority of the God of Lies, so after cooperating with the God of the Internet, he quickly passed on some information, or rumors, that were unfavorable to the old gods, which caused modern people to become even more dissatisfied with the old gods. trust."

As soon as Song He said this, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown, because Turings, who had escaped from the Cthulhu Game Hall, could be called the "God of the Internet" or the "God of Computers" , and Ao Guanhai also mentioned that new and old rulers like Turings will continue to appear.

Of course, Liu Xing also understands this very well, because Liu Xing also feels that the old rulers written by the master of love crafts are now a bit outdated. After all, the abilities of these old rulers are related to "nature", and even if they are Yi Some of their settings are not "sci-fi" enough in the eyes of today's people, such as Si people and Mi.

Therefore, the Cthulhu Mythos also needs to keep pace with the times and introduce some old rulers and mythical creatures with the characteristics of the times, so that fans can feel more empathetic.

For example, Mr. Ke's dreaming and Turings' game hypnosis, although in essence they both influence and control a person, there is a difference between "fantasy" and "science fiction" in the eyes of readers.

Therefore, Liu Xing has always believed that the appearance of Turings means that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is preparing to launch some new Old Ones, and the abilities of these Old Ones are also related to modern technology! Of course, some of the old rulers of the old days will also be upgraded and evolved. For example, the Star Mother who took refuge in White River City controlled a wooden sailboat to act as a ghost ship in the original setting, so now the Star Mother can control a missile. Destroyer comes and pretends to be a fully autonomous unmanned nuclear powered ship!
