Real Cthulhu Running Game

"The Cthulhu Run game hall at that time was like a night market with good business, with various shops opened by players on both sides."

Lu Tianya showed an expression of nostalgia for the past, "In the Cthulhu Run game hall at that time, many props could be freely traded, so if some players had extra props on hand, they could set up stalls to sell them, and these Shops only need to pay a few points to rent for a month. As for the alliance, you only need to spend a thousand points to own a two-story building. The architectural style can be customized. Of course, if you are willing to add money, then There is no problem in building a castle... So I still remember that one alliance built a tower of Babel that could not be seen to the end. After all, the hall has no ceiling."

"Is there still such an operation?"

Li Mengyao said with a surprised look on her face: "Then the Cthulhu Run Game Hall was quite interesting back then. Why was it changed to what it is now?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but I can probably guess some problems. For example, the players at that time basically joined a certain alliance, and the number of players in most alliances exceeded double digits. Among them, the alliance with the largest number of players There should be more than thirty people, so you can imagine how lively the module was at that time, with double-digit players participating at every turn! Of course, I have participated in the module with the largest number of players, and the number of players directly exceeded 100."

Lu Tianya shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought it was quite happy at the time, but if I think about it carefully now, I will feel that the module at that time has gone astray and has become not enough for Cthulhu. The Cthulhu Running Game is not suitable for a large number of players to participate together. After all, it is not a group of players to fight the boss in a dungeon; so after that, the new version of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall stipulates normal modules, among which The number of players who can participate will not exceed twenty, and of course there will occasionally be super large modules such as martial arts modules.”

"Well, is there a possibility that the Cthulhu Run game lobby didn't have that many KPs back then?"

Tian Qing suddenly said: "Liu Xing told me some things about the Cthulhu Run game lobby before, including the fact that some players may become KP after tearing up their cards, so I think the Cthulhu Run game back then The group game lobby may have lacked KPs, which could not allow those modules with a large number of participating players to operate normally, so they simply revised it and began to recruit players who broke cards as KPs to reduce the operating pressure of the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall. .”

"Oh, it seems that this possibility is really possible. The Cthulhu Run game hall back then did not have many KPs, and only a few KPs were exchanged."

As soon as Lu Tianya finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Then, a girl climbed directly over the wall and entered.

"Susu, why did you climb over the wall again?"

Tian Qing stepped forward and pinched the girl's little face, and said with a smile: "Didn't we agree to go through the front door, but you just knocked on the door and climbed over the wall."

The person who came was none other than Su Qiusheng, who was suspected to be a descendant of the former prince.

"Wouldn't it be faster to get over the wall? We are good friends, so we don't need to pay attention to so many red tapes."

As Su Qiusheng spoke, he took out a small bag, "This is the icing powder I asked for from the master. As long as you put a small spoonful of it in the basin, the water in the basin will freeze directly. Then it will freeze." You can have a comfortable night’s sleep.”

As modern people, Tian Qing and the others naturally knew what the icing powder Su Qiusheng said was nothing more than some kind of nitrate. Of course, salt may also be added, because salt can lower the freezing point of water.

However, Tian Qing and the others still had to pretend to be surprised at this time, after all, they didn't know so much now.

"Hehehehe, this icing powder is my master's specialty. Every year, many people come to him asking for icing powder, but my master always asks for it, and the most he can give is this bag. One-third, and the same person still has to get it once every other year.”

Su Qiu Sheng's words made Lu Tianya's eyes light up, because she also knew what the formula of icing powder was, so she had a bright future ahead of her, and in Chiyou City, a subtropical city, icing powder could still be used. As a stepping stone to get to know more NPCs?

But the question now is how to "invent" icing powder.

After all, saltpeter, the main raw material of ice powder, can be found everywhere in this martial arts module, because there are basically traces of saltpeter in places with toilets, and you can still collect a lot of them if you are willing.

However, the problem is that although saltpeter can be seen everywhere, everyone can see it when going to the toilet, but no one will scrape it off to study it. After all, it has already become a dirty thing in people's minds. It's a thing, so who would play with it?

So Lu Tianya felt that if he "invented" ice powder, and then when others asked him how he did it, he wouldn't be able to say that he just messed around with it, right? Do you still want your own image?

"By the way, I heard that several sects are planning to hold a group competition in the next two days. The rewards seem to be very generous, so are you interested in participating?"

Su Qiusheng poured himself a cup of tea and said seriously: "This arena competition is not just a competition of martial arts, so you also have a chance to win the championship, so if you have time, you can go and take a look."

In fact, Tian Qing and the other three also knew what Su Qiu Sheng was talking about in the arena match. To put it bluntly, they were players who wanted to form an alliance. They wanted to use this arena match to attract all the players in Chiyou City, and then open the skylight and say Bright words.

Of course, the main reason is that if you want to form an alliance, you must get rid of a Warcraft, and currently there is only one Warcraft found near Chiyou City.

Chiyou City, Warcraft.

These two keywords are linked together, and most Crocodile players can think of who this monster is.

That's right, it's a black and white iron-eating beast, and it also comes with red eye special effects.

Red equals three times.

Therefore, this iron-eating beast is larger than its kind, three times faster, and has claws stronger than steel. However, it is a powerful enemy that many martial arts masters dare not face casually, especially in the deep mountains and old forests. When you encounter it.

Therefore, although the players in Chi You City have wanted to form an alliance for a long time, they all expressed a lot of pressure on this iron-eating beast. They felt that if they were not careful, they might be wiped out by the group, so they were always recruiting more players. Join them.

But it is also because of this iron-eating beast that the players in Chiyou City are not optimistic about this potential alliance. They feel that unless this alliance can get the help of many martial arts masters, there is no way to win the iron-eating beast, so this The potential alliance is likely to be stillborn.

And even if you can win, you may have to pay a huge price, so no one wants to pay this price.

Therefore, there is no problem in letting these players join the already established alliance, but if you want them to sweat and bleed for the establishment of the alliance, then forget it.

Of course, some players have suggested hunting for monsters in nearby cities. For example, in Miaocheng, the city closest to Chi You City, there is a soft persimmon, a big white rabbit that can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. It looks like a rabbit version of a bat head. There is an additional horn diamond on it, so it can not only fly in the sky at will, but also escape into the earth at any time.

Therefore, although this flying rabbit's combat power is relatively average, if it really wants to escape, it will be difficult to prevent it from leaving.

Therefore, players in Miaocheng have organized several hunts for flying rabbits, but in the end they found nothing. After all, everyone knows that rabbits are very timid. For example, a domestic pet rabbit may be killed by you because of a big sneeze. Just show it to you on all fours.

So Liu Xing remembered that he met a friend during his internship in the hospital, and this friend also liked raising rabbits. As a result, his rabbits gave him extra meals. Therefore, Liu Xing suspected that his friend did not like raising rabbits. Instead, he likes to eat rabbits.

In short, although this flying rabbit is a magical beast, unless it is a real rabbit that bites people when it is anxious, this flying rabbit will not choose to fight with people.

Therefore, this flying rabbit has lived near Miaocheng for decades, and no one has bothered it. After all, it has not posed any threat to Miaocheng, and it usually only eats a big carrot or something.

But no matter what, the Flying Escape Rabbit is also a rare soft persimmon in World of Warcraft, so the players in Miaocheng have been eyeing it very early and are planning to use it as the cornerstone of the alliance.

So if the players in Chiyou City cross the border and want to take action against this flying rabbit, the players in Miaocheng will definitely not agree. After all, there is only such a monster near Miaocheng.

Obviously, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall allocates one World of Warcraft to each city. Of course, some special cities will still have one or two more, but this is just a special case.

So under normal circumstances, there is only one dumpling in each bowl. If you reach out and eat the dumplings in other people's bowls, it is absolutely impossible for others not to be angry.

As for the players from Chiyou City and Miaocheng to unite to form an alliance, according to what Lu Tianya and the other three have learned so far, it is almost impossible, because the number of players in Chiyou City and Miaocheng both exceeds 200, unlike Liu Xing's side requires several cities combined to gather so many people, so how should the cake be divided?

Especially the players in Miaocheng, they don't want to give away half of their cake. After all, the Flying Escape Rabbit is already inevitable in their eyes! Regardless of whether they have the "help" of Chi Youcheng, they can form an alliance!

This is very embarrassing for the players in Chiyou City.

However, Tian Qing and the others don’t think so, because they did not plan to join the alliance in Chiyou City at the beginning. The reason is that it is easy to enter the alliance but difficult to get out. You only need to submit an application to join and obtain the consent of the leader or deputy leader to join directly. alliance, and if you plan to withdraw from the existing alliance and join a new alliance, you will not only need to return all the achievement points obtained through the alliance, but also have a negative status of "treachery", which will affect the new alliance you join. Lose a certain amount of reputation, and the reputation lost here will be proportional to the time you joined the old alliance.

In addition, "treachery" will also make those NPCs related to the old alliance less favorable to you, and some NPCs will choose to attack you and the new alliance you join.

So it is best not to withdraw from the alliance casually.

Therefore, Tian Qing and the others have already thought about it, that is, they will not join other alliances unless there is no chance to join Liu Xing and others.

"Then if we have the chance, we can go over and join in the fun. However, we have just tamed our natal guardian beasts in the past two days, so we still need to spend time connecting with them, so we may not have time to participate in this competition."

Tian Qing looked at Su Qiu Sheng and said with a smile: "And if nothing else happens, I think Su Su, you will definitely participate in this arena competition, right? After all, you never miss such an event, so this arena The winner of the competition will most likely be you."

"Yes, Su Su, you are not only strong in martial arts, but also smart. You must be the champion of this arena competition!" Li Mengyao said seriously.

Su Qiu Sheng was not polite and said confidently: "Of course, I am also the youngest third-rate master in Chi You City!"

The third-rate master Su Qiusheng refers to refers to a evaluation standard jointly launched by various sects in Chiyou City. As long as you meet the corresponding conditions and pass specific tests, you will be able to obtain the corresponding title.

Although "third-rate masters" sounds quite ordinary, the number of third-rate masters in the huge Chi You City has just exceeded one hundred, and Su Qiu Sheng has already touched the threshold of second-rate masters, and is now preparing to pass the test of second-rate masters - Cong Shitie He retreated completely from the beast.

That's right, if Su Qiusheng wanted to become a second-rate master, he would have to deal with the iron-eating beast for five minutes under the witness of the examiner, or security personnel, and then escape unscathed.

So the other players in Chi You City are all staring at Su Qiu Sheng, because Su Qiu Sheng may be their biggest help in solving the iron-eating beast!

Although Su Qiu Sheng definitely cannot beat the iron-eating beast, Su Qiu Sheng's master is one of the most powerful masters in Chi You City, and he is very popular, so the lineup of examiners during Su Qiu Sheng's test must be very luxurious!

If these examiners can be made to take action, then it is not impossible to deal with the iron-eating beast.

For example, Su Qiusheng encountered fatal danger?

Thinking of this, Tian Qing asked nervously: "By the way, Su Su, when do you plan to take part in the test of second-rate masters?"
