Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Then the question is, if we meet other players in Heshan County, what should our attitude be? According to our current guess, the players who can come to Heshan County should all come to Wangxiang Terrace ." Yin En asked seriously.

Liu Xing said as he walked: "Of course we choose to cooperate. A special place like Wangxiang Terrace is definitely not something that the four of us can win. In other words, the cake of Wangxiang Terrace is too big for the four of us. Even if we can get on the table, we can't eat much, let alone the table is not that easy to sit on; so my idea is very simple, that is to use our understanding of Heshan County to unite other players to form an adventure targeting Wangxiangtai Regiment, and give us command and distribution rights so that we can go to the table and share the cake.”

"That's okay. As long as the number of other player teams in Heshan County does not exceed double digits, then we should be able to suppress the situation. Otherwise, as long as this player team with double digits of players stands up to cause trouble for us, then we will still be able to control the situation. It’s really hard to control the situation; so let’s start making a rustic air conditioner after we go back. I remember there is a ceramics shop next to your house, Yin En, right?”

Looking at Ding Kun, Yin En nodded and said: "Yes, the ceramics shop next door to my house has a good business, so there is a lot of clay in the backyard all year round, so we can choose to cooperate with this ceramics shop! And this ceramics shop The young master and I have also been friends for many years, and his character is quite good, so there shouldn’t be too many problems in working with him; as long as we make the reputation of local air conditioners known, then other players in Heshan County should Our identity has been guessed, so as long as we spread some rumors, it should be easy to summon these players."

Hurrying slowly, Liu Xing and others returned to Heshan County when the sun was hanging overhead, and they did not encounter the attack of the Sky Fire Crow.

As for the Heshan County in this martial arts module, there is not much difference between the Heshan County in the minds of Liu Xing and others, but the previous properties of the Luo family have now been renamed.

In addition, Liu Xing and others also noticed that there was an extra wooden tower in the middle of Heshan County. It was about fifteen meters tall. It looked simple and unpretentious, with not many decorations, and except for a There are no other doors or windows outside the main door of the building.

This reminded Liu Xing of the high tower where Mobius lived. They were just made of different materials.

In "Liu Peng's" memory, this tower was built a year ago. It is said that a passing businessman suddenly had a dream at night when he was resting in Heshan County. There was only a voice in the dream that told him to go there. There are no other requirements to build a tower over ten meters high in the center of Heshan County.

At the beginning, the businessman didn't pay much attention to this dream. After all, there was just a voice in the dream asking him to build a tower, and then nothing else was said, so the businessman only thought it was an ordinary dream. It’s just a dream; what’s more, the cost of building such a tall tower is not low. Even if it doesn’t add any decorations or install more doors and windows, the material and labor costs alone are a huge expense, not to mention this Heshan There are several shops with good business in the middle of the county, so we have to pay them to move.

So the businessman left Heshan County directly and returned to his home in Far West City with the goods.

More than ten days passed like this. Just when the businessman had almost forgotten this dream, he had the same dream that night. However, the moment he woke up, a servant panicked. He ran into the room and said that his beloved son had a high fever and was now unconscious.

By this time, the businessman knew that his youngest son might have contracted the disease because he did not build a high tower, but he was still lucky enough to want all the famous doctors in the city to come and see and cure his youngest son's disease. . . As you can imagine, the famous doctors in Far West City were helpless. After more than a day of hard work, the younger son's illness became more serious.

As a result, the businessman had no choice but to return to Heshan County honestly with a large sum of money. He used some reason and money to move the shops, and then used local materials to dismantle the shops. The materials began to build the tower, and his youngest son recovered immediately, and more importantly, there were no sequelae at all! You must know that if a child like this has a high fever, even if the temperature is controlled immediately, serious sequelae may occur. After all, the child's body is still too fragile.

As a result, the tower was quickly built, and when the businessman breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go home, he heard that he suddenly had a lot of orders, and the profits these orders could bring him were about The tower was about twice the construction price, so the businessman realized that if he was willing to spend more money on this tower, he could get more rewards.

This made the businessman regret it, and at the same time he began to make up for it. He spent a sum of money to build an extra layer of the tower, so the tower reached a height of fifteen meters. However, this time it was a new one. There were no orders, so the businessman had no choice but to stop. However, to be on the safe side, he hired a few people to look after the tower to prevent it from causing misfortune to him if the tower was damaged.

But what surprised Liu Xing was that this tower didn't even have a name, because the businessman didn't hear the voice in his dream telling him what to name the tower, so he didn't dare to give it a random name. A name, so this tall tower was called "that tower" in Heshan County.

What Voldemort?

Ah no, what is this JK Rowling?

But it is also because of the existence of this tower that Liu Xing believes that in Heshan County, in addition to one monster on each side, there will also be another monster in the middle, and this monster requires four other monsters to gather together. Only then will he emerge from this tower.

The shop of Liu Xing and others was near the tower, so Liu Xing studied the tower for a while but gained nothing before going home and agreed to have lunch and then meet at Zhang Jingxu's house. . . Because Zhang Jingxu is the only one among the four who lives alone.

In ancient times, many shops had front shops and back factories, that is, the front was used as a shop, and the yard behind was both a factory for producing goods and a place for people to live.

The same is true for "Liu Peng's" house. The front is a pharmacy and clinic, the backyard is a place for brewing medicine and making medicine, and there are three rooms for living.

"Liu Peng"'s family is a family of three. Originally, "Liu Peng" had an older brother. Unfortunately, he had an accident a few years ago when he went into the mountains to collect herbs, so now one room is still empty. It is occupied by "Liu Peng" Liu Nan, his father, used it as a warehouse.

"The young master's family is back."

A waiter who was getting medicine saw Liu Xing and said with a smile: "Your father has gone to see a doctor. He told me that if you come back at this time, young master, go to the kitchen for lunch. I will leave a special room for you at noon." A meal.”

Because Liu Nan is the most famous doctor in Heshan County, there are two guys who are responsible for getting the medicine, and there is also a guy behind who specializes in making medicine. As for the doctor who comes to help, there is also one doctor who is Liu Nan's junior brother - —Hong He.

After Liu Xing said hello to Hong He, he went to the kitchen to have lunch. To put it bluntly, it was a bowl of porridge and two homemade meat buns. However, the taste was pretty good because the bun maker It is "Liu Peng"'s mother, Li Yu. Her parents are the owners of Heyuan House, the largest restaurant in Heshan County.

So after Liu Xing finished lunch, he went to report to Li Yu that he was safe. After all, his mother was worried because his son had traveled thousands of miles. Although he had only walked a few dozen miles, he was delayed because of the heavy rain yesterday, so Li Yu couldn't help complaining when she saw Liu Xing, blaming Liu Xing for going to dinner first and not coming to see her first.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing naturally could only keep apologizing. . . But let me tell you something, this is also Liu Xing's first real "meeting his parents" in the Cthulhu Run game lobby.

Because the Cthulhu Run Game Hall also knows that it will be troublesome for players to interact with NPCs who are their parents in the module, especially if the player is using the initial character card, then meeting those NPCs who are their parents , you will find that these NPCs really look exactly like their parents, and even some of their little habits and ways of speaking are similar. This makes it easier for players to have the "uncanny valley effect". After all, players know that the NPCs in front of them are definitely not their parents. But they look so much alike!

It's like in some of today's suspense or horror movies and comics, where the protagonist often finds that something is wrong with his parents after returning home, but there is no flaw in their appearance, etc., but there is that inexplicable discomfort. Harmony makes people feel a chill down their backs, which brings a unique kind of fear to the audience who look like normal parent characters.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will not allow players to meet their parents in this parallel world in the module. At most, they can only make a phone call to listen to the sound. . . It is said that during the closed beta period of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, players could sometimes have face-to-face contact with their parents. As a result, too many players became overwhelmed and overplayed in the process, so Cthulhu Run The group game lobby has been modified very thoughtfully.

Therefore, players like Liu Xing basically cannot see their parents in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. . . However, I don’t know if all the players used temporary character cards this time, so the Cthulhu Run Game Hall specially arranged for players to play against their parents, except for "certain protagonists" like Zhang Jingxu.

This is not a good thing.

While having lunch, Liu Xing was thinking about why the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall did this? Because it stands to reason that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall can arrange for players to stay away from their parents, such as traveling, working in other towns, or simply not having parents.

For example, "Liu Peng" can be changed to Liu Nan's nephew. He was accepted as a disciple by Liu Nan because of his talent. His parents farmed in a village dozens of miles away from Heshan County and celebrated the holidays. Only then will I go back.

So now that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is doing this, Liu Xing only thinks of one possibility, which is to familiarize players with the way to communicate with their "parents" in advance, because after the real world module is turned on, players It is inevitable to interact with your parents, whether in the real world or in the Cthulhu Run game lobby.

It seems that this martial arts module is actually a targeted training, allowing players to enter the state faster in the subsequent real-world modules.

But having said that, Liu Xing had also been mentally prepared before coming, but he was still a little overwhelmed when faced with the nagging of Li Yu, his "mother", so he could only lower his head and admit his mistakes honestly, and occasionally "hmm" Say it loudly to show that you are aware of your mistake.

Fortunately, Liu Nan came back from her medical visit at this time, so Liu Xing hurriedly left the backyard on the grounds of reporting the medical visit.

Facing Liu Nan, Liu Xing's mentality improved a lot, because Liu Xing could regard Liu Nan as his master.

After listening to Liu Xing's report on his trip to Junxiang, Liu Nan nodded and said: "It turned out to be Kong Huo Ya. I just said that the situation of these injured people is so strange, but this is not good news. Compared with Due to the clear mountain breeze, it is hard to guard against this secretly hurting Sky Fire Crow... Let's do this, Peng'er, go and report this matter to Captain Ge at high speed and let him handle it. Please let us know that Kong Huo Ya appears near Heshan County, so that the past two days will not be full of news about Kong Huo Crow hurting people."

The name of Captain Ge in Liu Nan's mouth is Ge Jing, and he is the captain of the Heshan Security Team.

For that reason, Heshan County, which is essentially a large market, has no police officers, so everyone worked together to organize a security team to maintain market order and protect everyone's safety.

Therefore, Ge Jing can be regarded as a very important NPC in Heshan County, and he is also an official disciple of a sect. However, due to some reasons, he was expelled from the sect, and his name was even crossed out by the sect. That's why Ge Jing did not get the position of coach, but only the title of captain.

As for the reason why Ge Jing was expelled from the master, Liu Xing thinks that the most reliable possibility is that he was addicted to alcohol, so he bumped into the master while drunk! Because every time "Liu Peng" went to see Ge Jing, Ge Jing smelled of alcohol and was in a state of half drunk and half awake. . . But even so, Ge Jing has been very reliable over the years and has basically never missed a thing.

This is a very interesting NPC. Liu Xing thinks there should be a hidden mission for Ge Jing.

"But then again, that boy Yin Qiang actually found a marriage just by accompanying you, and it's also related to Lin Shan."
