Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing shrugged, shook his head and said, "That's right. If something happens to me, the situation in the alliance will become very embarrassing. After all, we brag to the third prince that we are blessed by gods, but we are so easily defeated by a group of ordinary people. Now that the person is over, it’s strange that the Third Prince doesn’t doubt our alliance.”

"Yes, Alliance Leader, you are the truly chosen one among us. If you are gone, then in the eyes of the Third Prince, there will be no need for our alliance to exist."

Meng Fugui shook his head and continued: "So if you don't mind, Alliance Leader, bring more or less people with you whenever you go out in the future. Don't ignore the risks and continue to visit."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of laughter: "Why do I think, Shopkeeper Meng, you have other intentions? Although I do like to insist on visiting... Ahem, back to the topic, then I will go to the Taoist temple this time. I still need to bring a few more people with me, and if I don’t come back before dark tomorrow, it means that I may be in trouble in the Taoist temple, so Shopkeeper Meng can bring some people to rescue me.”

"No problem, I will notify the brothers in the hunting team in advance to be ready and go to the Taoist temple you mentioned, leader, at any time!" Meng Fugui nodded.

After dinner, Liu Xing did not go to Ding Kun, because Liu Xing did not intend to let Ding Kun accompany him to the Taoist temple. After all, Ding Kun had to watch Ge Jing for the past two days, casually guarding against the possibility of coming to visit him again. Hexiong et al.

So Liu Xing now plans to invite Jin Neo to bring a few people with him, because Jin Neo's profession in this module is an escort, or in other words, all players from Nandiwen are background escorts!

To put it simply, the character cards of Jinnio and others all have the same character background - an orphan, and then he was adopted by the head escort of an escort agency, and then received professional training as an escort since childhood, so today's Jin Neo and others are considered half escorts.

The main reason why Jinniao and others are only half-hearted escorts is that their adoptive father was assassinated by a group of unknown persons during a escort trip. Therefore, all the goods responsible for escorting were missing, and there was a look on his face. Those people gave me a very strange tattoo.

You must know that in the Xinlong Empire, there is also a tradition of tattoos on the frontier, so people with tattoos on their faces will be regarded as felons by the imperial court by default. Therefore, if a martial arts person encounters a person with a tattoo on his face on the road, and there are no arrests nearby If the government officials were responsible for escorting him, they would step forward and subdue this person without hesitation.

As a result, the adoptive father of Jin Neo and others chose to leave the escort agency out of shame and has been missing since then. However, everyone else in the escort agency believed that he was colluding with the unknown group of people to take away the valuable goods. After arriving, they fled, so Jinio and others were kicked out by other people in the escort agency. From then on, they could only take on some odd jobs in Far West City, such as guest porters, or working as a day host at some important banquets. Temporary security.

All in all, Liu Xing feels that Jin Neo and others are capable of being his bodyguards.

And Liu Xing also plans to take this opportunity to cultivate relationships with Jin Neo and others so that they can continue to support him.

So after Jin Neo learned about Liu Xing's idea, he agreed without hesitation.

"Leader, when do you plan to set off tomorrow?"

Jinnio said eagerly: "To be honest, being a bodyguard is our main job as a player, and we all have a very interesting characteristic, that is, when escorting people or goods, the values ​​​​of various attributes There will be a certain degree of improvement, and the more important the target of the escort, the greater the improvement! However, when our escort fails, the values ​​​​of some attributes will also permanently decrease, so if you, the leader, want us to escort you , you have to listen to our opinions at some point and stop running around."

Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals.

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, I'm not the kind of person who likes to seek death. I can do it alone, so let's go to Heshan County after breakfast tomorrow and try to go back early. , so that others won’t worry about us.”

"Okay then, I will go back now to select a few suitable candidates to go to that Taoist temple with us. I guarantee that you, leader, will not be harmed before us!" Jin Neo said seriously.

Regarding Jin Neo's guarantee, Liu Xing was still a little bit embarrassed in his heart, because judging from the current situation, there may be many dangers in the Taoist temple. For example, the Taoist temple itself has a mysterious curse, and a certain A mysterious organization may also use it as its stronghold, as well as a certain magical beast that may exist under the Taoist temple.

No matter which one of these three dangers becomes a reality, it will be enough for Liu Xing and others to drink a pot.

So Liu Xing has already thought about it. As soon as he senses that something is wrong when he goes to the Taoist temple this time, he will immediately turn around and leave. He must not be sloppy.

After bidding farewell to Jin Neo, Liu Xing went to find Ding Kun and expressed his thoughts, and Ding Kun also agreed with Liu Xing's thoughts.

"It is indeed the best choice to let Jin Neo and others accompany you to the Taoist temple, because they are the real professionals."

Ding Kun nodded and said: "The situation at Ge Jing's side is quite normal. He has not done anything special in the past two days, nor has he paid much attention or curiosity to the cave. However, he has also asked other players about the situation in the cave. What was discovered, and those players did not reveal any flaws, after all, the players in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall are all professionals in performance."

"Of course, because players without acting talent have long been eliminated from the Cthulhu Game Hall." Liu Xing said with a smile.

"But Liu Xing, you still have to be careful. After all, that Taoist temple is full of dangers. If you don't pay attention, you may not be able to come back. So you have to be more careful and arrange one or two people outside the Taoist temple to look out. If they discover the situation, If something goes wrong, come back and notify us immediately, and I will lead the hunting team to support you at any time." Ding Kun said seriously.

Liu Xing nodded, and then mentioned what he had said to He Xiong, asking Ding Kun to pay attention to the movements in the forest in the past few days, so as not to be caught off guard by He Xiong and others.

But after listening to Liu Xing's words, Ding Kun became more interested in the Thousand Miles Tracking Technique.

"If nothing else, I think the thousand-mile tracking technique used by the Fox Hunting Sect actually uses the special pheromones of a certain animal! Because He Xiong also mentioned that the first owner of the Fox Hunting Sect had a hobby of hunting. hunter, so he should be proficient in many hunting skills, the most important of which should be that if the prey appears in an open area, then he has a chance to kill it with one shot! And I used to hunt with my family in the real world, so I We know that no matter how many prey there are on a mountain, a hunter who has not made any preparations will most likely return empty-handed."

"The reason is very simple. Except for some weird animals like silly roe deer, or the lords of mountains like tigers and bears, they will choose to hide when they hear the movement of hunters. So if a hunter only brings weapons, then Unless he is experienced and can judge the approximate location of prey based on various traces, or waits near the water source, otherwise he will not gain much from walking around the mountain. Just wanting to see a few living animals is very boring. Difficult; in short, when I used to go hunting in the mountains, I would prepare several gadgets to attract animals, such as whistles that make specific sounds and specially formulated food."

Liu Xing nodded in agreement and said seriously: "A few days before I joined the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, I bought a hunting simulator. As a result, I spent an hour wandering around the map. There are only a few opportunities to fire, and you may not be able to hit the target if you shoot, and you may not get a perfect score if you hit, so I played this game for two hours and then put it away; but when it comes to hunting, I remember reading an online novel before, and it was mentioned in it that when hunting elk or other large animals, in addition to playing the flute, it seemed that they would also use something of the same kind as bait?"

"Yes, these are the special pheromones I told you. These special pheromones can attract designated animals. This is a must-have for hunters who want to hunt a certain kind of prey. And with these special pheromones, you can The smell may only be a little strong, and it may not have much smell if you stay away from it, but it can make all the same species within a ten-mile radius be affected by the smell. After all, this is related to the survival of the species! So I doubt the fox hunting The door's thousands-mile tracking technology uses the special pheromones of a certain animal, and then allows professionally trained animals to track the scent."

Ding Kun touched his chin and said: "In fact, we can also try to use this method to track the target, because the entry threshold for this method is actually not high. You can even go directly to a sect such as Baishoumen to buy a professionally trained animal. You can train hunting dogs and then collect some corresponding special pheromones yourself, but the point is that the taste of special pheromones is usually quite special, so if you don’t make a special preparation, it will still be easy for the target to detect something strange.”

"It's easy to get started but difficult to master, so it takes some skill for the Fox Hunting Sect to be able to make a living at this level."

Liu Xing thought for a while, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind, that is, to persuade He Xiong and others to join the alliance!

Although this idea sounds a bit outrageous, Liu Xing feels that it is very feasible, because although He Xiong and others are disciples of the Fox Hunting Sect, the Fox Hunting Sect is inherently very special, and the disciples in the sect come and go. There will be a new group of disciples every few years, so it is not difficult to persuade He Xiong and others to quit the Fox Hunting Sect, as long as the conditions are set high enough.

After all, the original intention of He Xiong and others to join the Fox Hunting Sect was only one word - money, and at most they could add two words - favor!

There is definitely no shortage of money in the alliance. After all, the main members of the alliance, that is, the players, do not need wages, and they will even rebate money to the alliance, unless they encounter some special circumstances, so this saves the alliance a lot. With this expenditure, NPCs can be offered benefits that far exceed market prices to attract them to join the alliance.

As for favors, the alliance now has the support of the Third Prince, so this favor is already big enough.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that there was a real chance to persuade He Xiong and others to join the alliance, so that the alliance would have a group of experts in charge.

After all, for a special sect like the Fox Hunting Sect, its disciples are definitely not weak in strength. At least they have to escape from the trap of being incompetent, right?

Looking at Liu Xing with a subtle expression, Ding Kun, an old teammate, immediately guessed what Liu Xing was thinking.

"Liu Xing, are you trying to win over He Xiong and others? This idea is indeed a good one. The success rate should be more than 70%, but the problem is that there is no one in our alliance who can contain them!" Ding Kun shook his head and said .

Hearing what Ding Kun said, Liu Xing realized a very important issue, that is, if He Xiong and others join the alliance, it means that they have become the most powerful group of people in the alliance, because the players who join the sect at this time None of them are in Sweetwater Town, and they will not return to Sweetwater Town in a short time, so the alliance does not have a force that can check He Xiong and others.

Therefore, after He Xiong and others join the alliance and find that they are the top combat power in the alliance, they are likely to choose to dominate and become a major burden to the alliance. After all, everyone wants to eat well and drink well without working.

At that time, it may be easier to invite gods than to give them away. After all, as long as He Xiong and others do not work hard, it will be difficult for Liu Xing to find fault with them, not to mention that He Xiong and others were hired back by Liu Xing with a lot of money. , now Liu Xing will have to spend a "termination fee" if he wants to get rid of them.

This is very embarrassing.

"So we can't rashly invite He Xiong and others, or other martial arts people, to join the alliance, unless they apply on their own initiative! Of course, when those players who join the sect return to the alliance, we won't have these worries." Ding Kun said with a smile.

"That's right. Our alliance is still too weak now, or it lacks some high-end combat capabilities."

Liu Xing put his hands on his hips and said helplessly: "In a sense, Ge Jing is currently the number one master in the league, but this master cannot show up casually, so on the surface, there is no one in the league who can fight. ! Now even a third-rate master can open unparalleled skills in our alliance... But we really have no choice now. We can only wait until Yu Lei solves those problems, and then returns to Sweetwater Town to start taking charge of the alliance. "

"But this is too passive."

Ding Kun sighed and said seriously: "Maybe we really have to find a way to recruit a few reliable martial arts people to ensure that the alliance will not be broken by one attack."
