Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing and others quickly arrived at the board game store, and Liu Xing also noticed that there were only posters and signboards of "Martial Arts Continent" at the door of the board game store, but the most important thing was that there were several people at the door. Holding a sign - Recycle the chess pieces at a high price.

It seems that "Martial Arts Continent" is indeed very popular, and it has become so popular that it has started to have second-tier dealers.

After entering the board game store, the store manager took out a big box from under the counter, "This is the "Martial Arts Continent" you pre-ordered. Now you can scan the QR code above and enter your pre-order information. After confirmation, you can Take them away."

Liu Xing then noticed that there was an electronic lock hanging on the big box. It seemed that if you didn't follow the process to enter the pre-order information to unlock it, then you couldn't even think about opening the box and taking out the chess pieces inside.

"By the way, be careful when you open the box later, because the company of "Martial Arts Continent" has installed some real easter eggs in the box. If you don't open it according to the normal process, these easter eggs will be triggered and the chess pieces will be lost. Become colorful, so no matter how precious these chess pieces are, they will not be recognized by the company and players, and the value will directly return to zero." The boss said with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that this company is quite interested. They even prepared Easter eggs."

Yin En also laughed and said: "I remember that some banks like to place such remotely triggered easter eggs in the safes containing money to ensure that the robbers can actively or passively trigger them when they rob these safes. The money in the safe is stained with special paint. In this way, even real money laundering cannot clean the money. By then, the robbers will have taken huge risks and their work has been in vain. After all, this kind of It’s hard for colorful banknotes to flow into the market.”

"Yes, so I also feel that this company is really attentive, and it really does what it says. In this way, the number of chess pieces is almost fixed, and at the same time, each person can only get ten boxes of affordable chess pieces. , if you want to get other chess pieces, you have to spend money to buy them from other people; so it stands to reason that even the chess piece with the largest shipment volume will have a higher market price than the original price in the future, because there are only so many chess pieces. There will be someone in the general manager who doesn’t have this chess piece, so the price will go up directly.”

The boss took a look at his shop and said seriously: "I have already thought about it. I will open up a special area in the store for "Martial Arts Continent" and add the service of consignment of chess pieces, so that I can make money." More of!”

"Well, why do I think this company was ready to make money from the trading platform from the beginning?"

Liu Xing couldn't help but said: "Look, the number of these chess pieces is fixed, so in theory this company can only make so much money, and it is a one-time deal; but if this company stands up and opens a special transaction Website, and then make money from handling fees, won’t you be able to make a lot of money in the future? The more you talk about it, the more it sounds like you are speculating on chess pieces.”

"Maybe, but the chess pieces of "Martial Arts Continent" are also very well made. Both the details and the use of colors can be said to be almost perfect, and so many chess pieces have their own characteristics, so you won't think that this company has any Ding Dian is lazy, but in short, even as a figure, it is worth the price; not to mention that "Martial Arts Continent" is also very playable. Several modes have been announced, each with its own characteristics. The most important thing is After this, some new modes will be updated. If there is a need for new chessboards and some small accessories, players can also obtain them for free with previous purchase information. Of course, some are insignificant, but they can make the chess pieces look better. Accessories will cost a little money.”

As the shop owner spoke, he pointed to the shelves next to him and said: "There are some additional weapon accessories here, because the chess pieces usually only carry one weapon, and occasionally some chess pieces also carry secondary weapons such as crossbows. So if you want to make your chess pieces use other weapons, you can buy these accessories. However, the first version of the weapon accessories are all popular products and they look quite ordinary; but I heard that the second version of the weapons will be online soon. Now, this version looks more unique and has the feel of exclusive weapons.”

Liu Xing glanced at the shelves next to him and found that the extra weapons looked very ordinary indeed. They looked like the kind used by miscellaneous soldiers. Liu Xing still remembered the chess pieces he saw in the real world. The weapons that come with it are more or less unique.

At this time, Zhang Jingxu had completed the verification, so the electronic lock on the box automatically fell off.

"Thank you for your patronage, but I would like to remind you a few words first. It is best to open the box here and register the chess pieces you get on the official website, because my store has installed surveillance cameras in accordance with the company's requirements. Make sure that your entire process from unboxing to registering chess piece information is well-documented. In this way, if your chess pieces accidentally fall into the hands of others for some reason, these chess pieces cannot be traded, and they cannot be traded online. Used in official activities, so these chess pieces can only be collected by some people at home, and they dare not show them to the outside world! Because even the same chess pieces will have certain differences, so as long as you use the ones provided by the company If you scan it with the APP, the corresponding information of the chess piece can be found immediately."

The shop owner said with a smile: "The main reason why "Martial Arts Continent" is so popular now is that it is not only fun and beautiful, but also very valuable. It can even be said that you will make money if you buy it, so there are many people with ulterior motives. I started to make a small calculation, but the company has already thought of this, so it has made various preparations; if you just take these boxes and leave, although our Arkham City is usually very safe, especially when we are still here At the gate of Miskatonic University, there is no guarantee that some tough guy will come and steal your chess pieces, and then he may register these chess pieces first."

"Uh, haven't we already entered the pre-order information? So it stands to reason that these chess pieces have been bound to our information before we open the box, right?" Tian Qing asked a little puzzled.

The shop owner shook his head and said seriously: "Logically speaking, the company should be able to do this, but the problem is that in order to ensure that these chess pieces are completely randomly sent to a certain player, the company has started live broadcasting the entire process. In the production process of the board game, the most important step of placing the chess pieces is very special. To put it simply, an operation will be performed before placing the chess pieces. The conditions include the three numbers corresponding to the hours, minutes and seconds of the current time, and then It is the number of players currently watching the live broadcast, and then there is the number contained in the ID of the most recent speaker. This may be the serial number corresponding to each letter, or it may be the number of strokes in the word, or it may be a certain number."

"In short, when these numbers are planned according to certain conditions, the resulting numbers will cause the corresponding chess pieces to be sealed in the box. If there are no chess pieces corresponding to the numbers, then the surrounding numbers will be taken according to the principle of first large and then small. The chess pieces corresponding to the numbers, and after the box sealing is completed, these boxes will be put into a mixing tank that can accommodate hundreds of boxes for mixing. Only one box will be released every minute; these boxes are placed The outgoing boxes will be placed at the shipping office for final classification, because these boxes are ordered by players through designated authorized board game stores, so they will be packed according to certain rules."

"If the boxes in a box all come from the same board game store, then the boxes in this box can basically be said to have left the factory with the front and rear legs at the same time, so there is still a certain chance of guessing what chess pieces are inside, but if once If the order sent to the company is not enough to fill a box, then the chess pieces in the box may have a factory date of several hours, so it is difficult to guess what chess pieces are inside; but the most important thing is that currently, No one knows where this company’s production workshop is yet, but boxes ordered on the same day will be delivered to board game stores around the world on the same day. This shows that in addition to making good board games, this company also And it also has its own set of distribution chains.”

One thing to say, after hearing this, Liu Xing had to admire that in order to bring back the settings of these chess pieces, the Cthulhu Game Hall really took great pains to make a series of restrictions to ensure that players get the chess pieces. It will not exceed the limited amount, and it will not be taken away by other players through various methods at the same time.

"Okay, let me remind you one last thing, that is, there is already a rough price list for these chess pieces online, but it is certain that these prices are not high enough, because the company has only released 3% of the price list. There are about ten chess pieces, so the market cannot yet determine the quantity of each type of chess piece, so the specific price cannot be confirmed. In addition, the transaction volume during this period is also very small, and most of them are offline private transactions, which is effective Naturally, there is no way to upload the data. As a result, although the price of these chess pieces will be higher than the original price no matter how bad it is, it will definitely rise sharply in a month, so you'd better not sell the chess pieces during this period."

The shop owner suddenly changed his tone and said with a smile: "But if you are willing to sell the chess pieces to me, then I am willing to pay a higher price to purchase your chess pieces. The specific premium will be determined based on the level of the chess pieces, but at least it will be It will be 30% higher than the current market price! If it is a legendary high-end chess piece, then I can give it... Well, the current market price does not include this high-end chess piece, because now everyone knows that this high-end chess piece The chess pieces can be directly sold for sky-high prices in the future, unless the company of "Martial Arts Continent" suddenly runs away, but no one can think of a reason for him to run away."

Liu Xing felt that this shop owner was setting a huge flag, because if the Cthulhu Run Game Hall really wanted to run away, he would definitely not come back.

Although the shop owner enthusiastically asked Liu Xing and others to open the box in the store, Liu Xing and others still chose to go home and open the box because the information about these chess pieces was too important, so Liu Xing discovered after thinking about it for a moment This morning, "Liu Xing" and others decided to go back to the villa to unbox the box after getting it, in order to prevent some players with outstanding computer skills from using hackers to control the cameras in these board game stores, and then use these cameras to See information about certain chess pieces.

After all, for players such as Liu Xing, there is nothing to say about the chess pieces themselves. It can even be said that it does not matter whether they are present or not, but the introduction card that comes with the chess pieces must be present. Of course, after reading it, it does not matter whether it is present or not.

After bidding farewell to the shop owner, Liu Xing and others drove directly back to the villa they had just bought, or a group of villas! Although Liu Xing felt that there were many eyes staring at him and his group when he first left the board game store, none of these people took any further action. After all, this was the entrance to Miskatonic University!

No one dares to cause trouble at Miskatonic University unless he is not human.

When Liu Xing returned to his villa, he discovered that the renovation work had been completed. To put it simply, a wall more than two meters high was built to surround the villas purchased by his group. At the same time, a new villa was opened. The gates of the villa are also guarded by the men brought by Sawada Miyin. In short, this villa group has become the territory of Liu Xing and others, and strangers are not allowed to approach.

But what makes Liu Xing feel a little speechless is that because he, or "Liu Xing" doesn't know why, he agreed to transform the first floor of his villa into a multi-functional banquet hall. In short, it can be used for parties or meetings. My own villa is under construction, so there is not much else on the first floor of my villa, just enough tables, chairs and benches! Because all the NPCs who have a good relationship with my group are here.

Including Matsui Yui and his wife!

When seeing Matsui Yui and Dogo Aige, Liu Xing was a little confused, because shouldn't they continue to prepare their big plan in the island country? Could it be that he had to run here to avoid the limelight because of the Night Demon?

As a result, after thinking about it for a moment, Liu Xing discovered that Matsui Yui had discovered that other tribes of deep divers were preparing to attack her. As for how she knew it, she didn’t say much. It seemed that there was someone in a certain tribe of deep divers. Internal response.

Therefore, after discussing with her father, Matsui Yui decided to temporarily shelve the planned plan, and everyone broke up into parts to travel around the world for vacation, which could be regarded as a final relaxation before taking action.

Ever since, Matsui Yui and his wife came here to play, firstly because Sawada Yaon and others were also coming, and secondly because they planned to go to Miskatonic University.
