Real Cthulhu Running Game

“When the false becomes true, the true is also false, and there is something inaction and nothingness.”

Liu Xing touched his chin and said in a pretentious manner: "So is there a possibility that this brother-in-law is actually a smoke bomb to make you all focus on him?"

"I have also thought about this possibility, because apart from occasionally glancing at him, the brother-in-law's brother-in-law has no other special behavior, so we cannot rule out the possibility that this is an act. After all, there are some occasions. The brother-in-law will not be allowed to attend because he is not qualified enough; and if these two people are fake relatives and are really superiors and subordinates, then they are unlikely to make such obvious acting mistakes? Take us players as an example, I I can star in this drama with Meng, because we have been cooperating for several years, but if I want to star in this drama with Shopkeeper Meng, I am afraid I have no choice but to refuse because it is too easy to make mistakes."

"Yes, this mysterious organization should have heard those rumors, so since they dare to sneak into Boyang City and wait for the opportunity, the selected manpower should be cooperative, and it is unlikely that such an obvious mistake will occur. Therefore, there is Maybe it’s really true and false, false and true, or maybe just true and true!”

Meng Fugui said seriously: "It's possible that the mysterious organization this time is planning to use a dual-card dual-standby, so that the wealthy businessman and his brother-in-law will be responsible for this operation as the dual core, and in order to save at least one of them after the incident, they came Such a move makes it impossible to tell whether it is true or not, so that the enemy will only focus on a certain person, allowing the other person to have more time and space to do things, and then find an opportunity to escape from Boyang City."

"Ah, I feel like my CPU is going to burn..."

Jin Neo scratched his head and said: "So the problem now is that there is too little information, so we can't determine what configuration the mysterious organization has prepared for this operation, and we have too many available people in Boyang City. Less, after all, most people have to stay in the sect 24 hours a day, and someone has to stay in the teahouse to coordinate the overall situation, so there are not many people who can move freely outside; there is another problem, that It’s because we players have relatively ordinary identities, so we don’t have the opportunity to enter certain areas, and these areas are where the wealthy businessman and his brother-in-law often move, so we can’t obtain relevant intelligence.”

Liu Xing looked at Jin Neo with some surprise, because Liu Xing really didn't expect that Jin Neo had been staying quietly in Tianshui Town, but he still knew so much about what happened in Boyang City. The most important thing was that he It seems that I haven’t been to Boyang City yet.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing nodded and said: "That's right, our player status is indeed relatively ordinary, or we can say that it is neither above nor below, so this is not a good thing for us, because we can only contact NPCs." They are very common, and it will be more troublesome whether you want to reach up or down, but in this martial arts module, there will definitely be more important people at the top and bottom than in the middle."

Liu Xing's words made everyone nod their heads, because in the martial arts novels they had read, whether they were the protagonist or an important supporting character, they were either a young master, a descendant of an important member of a certain sect, or a helpless little beggar. , or orphans whose families have been destroyed, there are basically few ordinary people.

Of course, among those characters such as Disciple A and Passerby B, there should be many ordinary people.

"So we have to find ways to expand our circle of friends and let us come into contact with more NPCs, especially those that seem to have plots! So that we don't have to work for a long time and wait until the important plot begins but don't have the chance to be in the first place. It’s time to join in." Liu Xing said.

As a result, Zhang Jingxu poured cold water on Liu Xing immediately and said: "Yes, you can, but you have to add more money and add more people! Because the problem now is that I and many other players have to stay in the sect, and the circle of friends is basically fixed. Come down, even if we can go out, we usually just walk around, so we have to send some more players to Boyang City! As for Far West City, forget it, there shouldn't be many plots worth mentioning there, with Yang Yu and the others It's enough to be responsible; then you have to add money! Because if I remember correctly, the tea house's account book seems to be unable to make ends meet. After all, the players in Boyang City point to the tea house to provide activity funds."

"Well, this is normal."

As the former shopkeeper of the teahouse, Meng Fugui said: "There was not much money in the teahouse's books to begin with. After all, we had just opened at that time, but then you, the leader, came, and then the teahouse basically did not do normal business for a few days. And I also advanced a lot of money in other places. For example, the weapons and equipment needed by the hunting team at that time were all money taken from the teahouse; later, when I left Boyang City, the teahouse's account book may only have a little bit. Broken silver, but there is still a lot of tea, coal, etc., which should be enough to do business for a period of time... But, the weather has been getting hot these two days, and the business of the tea house may not be too good, plus We can’t charge players for doing business in the teahouse, so there won’t be much money left for this trip.”

"Then add money and people!"

Liu Xing looked decisively at Zhang Jingxu, "Old Zhang, when you return to Boyang City, take a few people with you, and bring some money with you! The most important thing our alliance lacks now is money, because tomorrow the reward from the third prince will be It will be sent to Tianshui Town. At that time, Lao Zhang, you can go over and pick out a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry that you can use, and then we will allocate some activity funds to you after the inventory is completed."

In Liu Xing's impression, in addition to some regular money and cloth, the third prince's reward should also include some gold, silver, and jewelry, so it would be perfect to give these gifts to NPCs.

"time to eat!"

Before Zhang Jingxu could speak, Grandpa "Liu Peng"'s greeting came from not far away.

As the only designated chef in the cafeteria, the only NPCs currently able to move freely in the alliance camp are "Liu Peng"'s grandfather and a few of his chefs. As for the original waiters, they have all been replaced by players.

So after a simple discussion, Liu Xing and others moved the canteen to a location near the river. It was said to be convenient for water use. In fact, they wanted to keep these NPCs farther away from the players to avoid nearby The player accidentally overplayed the game.

However, the alliance's original camp was only that big, so this not-so-loud greeting could still be heard by all the players.

"Should we first tear down the outer walls of the Alliance camp and integrate Sweetwater Town into one?"

At this time, Jinniao said: "I think we should have more contact with NPCs, instead of living across a wall like now. Although this is a lot more convenient for us players, we don't need to live at any time. We worry that we will over travel, but this will also put us in a comfort zone and slowly lose the ability to communicate with NPCs. This is not a good thing! Because the background of this module is in ancient times rather than modern times. , If it’s just ordinary daily communication, it’s fine, but if someone gets aggravated, it’ll be troublesome. If you stumble when talking, or accidentally say the wrong thing, you’ll be in trouble.”

Jin Neo's words made Liu Xing and others fall into silence, because this is indeed a problem, and it may become a big problem.

After a while, Liu Xing sighed and said: "Jiniao is right, we really can't live in our own small circle, because we are not very adapted to the life in ancient times. As a result, now Living in separate places with NPCs is indeed quite comfortable, just like vacationing at an original farmhouse; but over time, if we have to live with NPCs, many problems may really arise. So we have to adapt to the pace of life of NPCs as soon as possible! So if everyone has no other opinions, we will tear down the original wooden wall and allow players to live elsewhere."

"I have no objection, but buildings like Juyi Hall must be protected and NPCs cannot be allowed to approach at will, lest problems may arise in the future." Meng Fugui nodded.

So, after Liu Xing and others finished lunch, they demolished the wooden wall they had built at the beginning. The demolished wood was not wasted and they directly built a fence for Juyi Hall.

As for the bottle storing the blood of Warcraft, it was packed in an iron box.

Then, Yin En also came back.

This time, Yin En came to Tianshui Town with fellow villagers from Junxiang, including Lin Laosi, whom Liu Xing longed for.

Because if Lin Laosi is willing to settle in Tianshui Town, then his son should also choose to join Tianshui Town. Moreover, Yu Leidu has brought back the news that many sect disciples in Far West City have chosen to take leave and go home, so If nothing else, Lin Hu would make the same choice, because he also knew the situation in Junxiang.

In this way, Lin Hu could be considered as the number one master in Tianshui Town, the direct descendant.

As for Yin En's fiancée's family, they also came to Tianshui Town, so the wedding in two days was much more convenient and they didn't need to travel so far to pick up the bride.

"Everyone from Junxiang has come here, and they have brought everything they need to bring."

Yin En said with a smile: "And Lin Laosi has also written a letter to Lin Hu, asking him to come directly to Tianshui Town if he wants to go home, so Lin Hu is already in our pocket."

"Yu Lei also came back today. He mentioned that many sect disciples in Far West City chose to take leave and go home. Among them, Lin Hu is likely to be included. So is there such a possibility now that Lin Hu Will Hu miss that letter?" Liu Xing said worriedly.

"Well, that's really possible. If Lin Hu chose to leave at the first time, then he should be on the road now, and this letter has just set off; but when we left Junxiang, there were people at the entrance of the village and Notes were left at their respective homes, asking them to come directly to Tianshui Town to meet their families, so as long as nothing happens, Lin Hu will just walk a few more steps." Yin En said with a shrug.

"That's right. It's less than a day's journey from Far West City to Junxiang. Even if you walk a few more steps to Tianshui Town, it will only take about a day, so he shouldn't have any accidents, unless that iron gun Taoist priests have a good time today."

Liu Xing nodded and said: "So you started moving early in the morning, right? Have you eaten yet? If not, I will eat a little first, and then I will arrange a place for you."

"Then eat a little, but you have to take care of the tea and other things. After walking all this way, my water bottle is already empty."

As Yin En spoke, he took out a crystal statue from his pocket, which seemed to be a carved lion.

"This is a gift given to me by an old man, saying it was left by his father."

Yin En handed the crystal lion to Liu Xing and said seriously: "You should also know that crystal is hard and fragile, so if you use today's carving tools, even if you carve it carefully, the whole crystal will be easily scrapped, and Even if everything goes well, the workload of this Crystal Lion is not low, and it may not be completed in just a few years."

Liu Xing took the crystal lion and looked at it carefully. He found that the carving of this crystal lion was quite good, at least all the details should be there, and although the mane was not clearly defined, it could still be seen. A feeling of "flying in the wind".

This reminded Liu Xing of the famous crystal cup of the Warring States Period, which has been jokingly said to have been brought back by a time traveler. After all, this crystal cup has a similar shape to a modern water cup, but is a bit rougher.

However, if you know the level of craftsmanship during the Warring States Period, you should know how rare this crystal cup is, because it is difficult to obtain such a crystal of the right size, lean and clear, because the crystal mines that may have been discovered at that time were originally less; and as Yin En said, the texture of crystal is very hard, but also very fragile. It will break if you are not careful. Therefore, if you use regular carving tools to carve a crystal cup, the wall of the cup will be damaged at any time. It might break, not to mention how to get out the crystal inside.

So Liu Xing remembered that he had heard a saying, that is, even if the Warring States Crystal Cup was built overnight, the construction period would be at least two years. If those failed works are included, such a crystal cup may take about ten years. time, and also requires the cooperation of many skilled craftsmen.

Therefore, the Warring States Crystal Cup is worthy of being the top national treasure!

So here’s the question. Although the carving of this crystal lion is not as difficult as the Warring States crystal cup, it can’t be made in a few years, so the carver of this crystal lion should not be simple.
