Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Isn't it possible? Didn't the Cthulhu Run Game Hall say that there won't be any mythical creatures in the martial arts module this time, nor will there be any Old Ones, so where is the King in Yellow? Of course there is. Maybe he’s an old Taoist in yellow robe based on the King in Yellow?” Zhang Jingxu said with a frown.

"Maybe, I don't know the specific situation. I just know that the troupe had an accident on the way, and then the troupe was disbanded. As for what kind of accident it was, and what consequences it brought, I don't know. However, I only know that there are a few actors who have never appeared again; and then there are the regular patrons of this troupe, that is, the person who wrote the script. It seems that he has not encountered any problems, but he doesn’t like to go out for a walk and stays there every day. Singing opera in my own yard, but singing songs that everyone is familiar with."

Yin En said seriously: "I remember that the Taoist robe made by my family should be regarded as a finished product, so if the troupe has any special requirements, they should be able to reflect it on that Taoist robe, so I will go and get the Taoist robe tomorrow." Find it and see if there are any special marks on it, such as a yellow seal or something."

Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's actually normal to have a yellow seal. After all, there are no old rulers in this parallel world, so if you show the NPCs here an old seal or a yellow seal, they will only know it." I think this thing is quite fancy; and the Cthulhu Run game lobby often reuses models, otherwise the ghouls and deep lurkers would not appear in about 60% of the modules.”

Because the Cthulhu Running Game Hall likes to arrange ghouls and deep divers to appear in modules, many players complain about the Cthulhu Running Game Hall. In order to save money, they made many ghouls. and models of deep divers, and then arrange them into various modules to interact with players. After all, the "cost" of modeling large mythical creatures like the Star Familia is definitely much more expensive than that of deep divers.

Liu Xing used to think it was just a joke, but after that dream, Liu Xing discovered that it was really like this. Many mythical creatures were "created" by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, and due to funding issues There is no limit to "modeling", so Liu Xing suspects that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall at that time was indeed composed of several mythical creatures constantly running around, making guest appearances in various modules, or in the crew.

Of course, there may also be special actors here. For example, in the previous resort island module, Liu Xing met a middle-aged man who was apparently the manager of the resort island but secretly was a deep diver. It will change its name depending on where the players who participate in the module come from, but it remains the same. Its background story should not change, so this deep diver should not make a guest appearance in other modules, but Stick to this module of your own.

So Liu Xing now has an idea, that is, there may be a waiting room in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, where a group of mythical creatures will rest, and when a new module starts, the big ones in the waiting room will A notification will be pushed on the screen - a certain module requires two deep divers and a human-faced rat; then the mythical creature that meets the conditions will get up and enter a certain passage, and then appear in the corresponding module and start to move its muscles. Get ready to face the players.

However, the mythical creatures here should all be real mythical creatures, which were "recruited" in some way after becoming bigger and stronger in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall.

For example, Tenal should have been "caught" by the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, so it tried every possible means to leave the Cthulhu Running Game Hall.

As for the modeling of mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, it may be like a coin-operated drink machine, which will automatically arrange certain mythical creatures to appear according to the needs of the module. Of course, the modules here should not be Literary dramas will be arranged for the mythical creatures, all of which are direct martial arts dramas, so that players will not see any flaws.

"It is true that reuse of modeling in the Cthulhu Run game lobby does not happen in a day or two. I remember a player mentioned a big sword in the forum, and then several players said that they had encountered it in the module. The big swords are almost exactly the same, because the prop introductions of these big swords are really exactly the same, and some of the details on the swords are also matching, so they are basically real. The Cthulhu Run game lobby will copy some props. Pasted in various modules, but this is normal, after all, wouldn’t it be reasonable for the same props to appear in parallel worlds?”

Yin En let out a hunch, shook his head and said, "No, I've been busy all day, and it's time for me to go back and rest. And I have to take Young Master Ying around for a walk tomorrow, so I have to have a good sleep today."

"It's been hard on you these past two days."

Liu Xing said with a smile: "This Young Master Ying is related to how our alliance will develop after joining, so Yin En, you have to behave well and let Young Master Ying know what it means to feel at home; then if you need anything, remember to inform me or Meng Fugui, we will definitely make arrangements for you."

So, Yin En and the other three went back to their respective homes, while Liu Xing went to the river to take a shower first. After all, the weather in the past two days was a bit hot even at night. The most important thing is that Liu Xing just participated in a bonfire party. Now He was already covered in sweat.

Just when Liu Xing was about to go home, he suddenly saw a backstroke crucian carp floating on the water.

What's happening here? Could it be that the weather is too hot and there is not enough oxygen in the water?

Because the alliance set up fishing nets in the lower reaches of the river, except for some small fish, other fish were blocked in this section of the river, and then became the most common dish in the alliance canteen - stewed fish, that is After all the fish are cleaned, they are stewed in one pot, except for occasionally taking out some crucian carp to stew at the bottom of the soup.

But even so, this section of the river is now full of fish, so no one dares to swim in the river, because when people go down, they will be knocked around by fish. There was even a player who was almost killed by a fish before. He was dragged into the water. If there were not teammates nearby to support him, he might not be able to get up.

Therefore, the ecological environment in this martial arts module is really good, but it may also be due to the lack of sufficient types of seasonings. After all, as a Shu native, Liu Xing’s favorite peppers are still on the other side of the sea, so the fish in the canteen are The relevant dishes are either pickled fish, or stewed fish and fish soup. In short, the taste is just like that, so even in the Xinlong Empire with dense river networks, there are not many famous dishes based on fish.

However, this is also due to the farmers and doctors from hundreds of schools of thought. They developed high-yielding and pest-resistant crops more than a hundred years ago, as well as excellent veterinary drugs. This made the agriculture and animal husbandry of the Xinlong Empire The industry is very developed, and unless there is a long period of bad weather, there will be no food failure.

Therefore, over the years, except for the years when the fighting was the fiercest and there was no one to take care of the fields, there was a situation where food could not make ends meet. At other times, we had no worries about food and drink. At the same time, it also reduced the cost of animal husbandry in a disguised way. Therefore, even if it is ordinary People can also eat meat several times a week, so not many people will choose to eat fish.

After all, if there are not enough spices, the earthy smell of fish will be quite difficult to deal with.

This results in very rich fishery resources in the rivers, which also makes those monsters that live in the water or like to eat fish more gentle than their counterparts living in the deep mountains and old forests, and will almost never actively attack humans. After all, They all have no worries about eating and drinking.

As a result, in areas where there are certain monsters hanging around the river, people will default to one thing - don't go into the river to fish.

So after Liu Xing and others put fishing nets downstream to intercept big fish, they found that if they didn't fish for a day or two, big fish would start to jump out of the water. Of course, from a scientific point of view, these were not these fish. If you want to jump over the dragon gate, it is because the density of fish in the water is too high, resulting in hypoxia.

So did this crucian carp start swimming on its back due to lack of oxygen?

Liu Xing was thinking as he fished up the crucian carp, and then he discovered that something was wrong with the crucian carp, because there was a small hole in its body, and it looked like it had been attacked by the Sky Fire Crow.

etc!

Liu Xing had a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly remembered a fish monster that Yu Lei mentioned to him - the swordfish!

The ability of the swordfish is very simple. It can release a high-pressure water gun that can easily penetrate a standard iron-clad wooden shield. However, it is not yet sure whether this high-pressure water gun is a magical attack or a relatively scientific physical attack.

If it is the former, there is no need to explain, because magic cannot be explained, but if it is the latter, there can be a very reasonable explanation. After all, there are similar fish in the real world, but their water guns are only It can only knock down a small insect.

After all, fish lungs are only that big and can only compress so much water.

But the most outrageous thing is that hundreds of swordfish have been found so far, but it is still not confirmed that one of them can be caught, because the speed of the swordfish is so fast, and its fins are comparable to steel. Therefore, fishing nets are helpless with it, and even martial arts masters who have practiced iron sand palm dare not catch it with their bare hands.

So this crucian carp was attacked by a swordfish? Because no vital parts were injured, he swam here before turning over?

So the question is, where is this swordfish? If it also enters this section of the river, it doesn't matter if the Alliance loses a fishing net. But if the swordfish ran away and saw that there were fish everywhere in the area, it was too lazy to run anymore. Then it might There were casualties.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing found the player who was keeping vigil, asked him to pay attention to the situation by the river, and informed subsequent players of the incident.

As for removing the fishing net downstream, Liu Xing still wanted to wait until the next day to make a decision, because without this fishing net, the fish harvested by the alliance every day would be reduced by about half.

What's more, it's not yet certain whether there are swordfish approaching this section of the river, so we can't stop eating because of choking.

After dealing with this episode, Liu Xing went back to rest.

As a result, as soon as Liu Xing's head hit the pillow, a wave of sleepiness swept through Liu Xing's body, and then Liu Xing found that he had arrived at the resort island that was about to experience a storm.

But this time Liu Xing is not the camera that stood still and couldn't move, but has evolved into a drone that can fly.

Or to put it another way, Liu Xing is now like a God's perspective in some games, able to move around at will, including escaping through walls.

So Liu Xing subconsciously let himself fly into the air and began to overlook the entire resort island. It turned out that there was indeed a situation of modeling reuse on this resort island. After the player went from the beach to the visitor center, the road was used as a background board. Almost all of the small villas use the same model, and on the side that the player cannot see, they are even reluctant to draw a window. As for the flowers, plants and trees that should be there, they are omitted.

But this is not the point. The point is that there are actually two beaches as the player's birth point, one on the left and right of the resort island. Moreover, these two beaches are almost exactly the same. The only difference is that there is a sea on one of the beaches. Home, this is something Liu Xing has not seen in the previous resort island modules.

So why did the person who designed this module prepare two beaches?

Liu Xing studied it carefully and found that the various models on both sides of the road leading from the second beach to the visitor center were very rough upon closer inspection. They looked like semi-finished products, as if they were sure that the players would not Will go this way.

So this is actually a scrapped case?

That shouldn't be the case. According to the "lack of funds" style of this module, this second beach should also be deleted directly. It cannot be left here to occupy the "computing power" of the Cthulhu Run game lobby.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at the stationary storm. Its first landing point on the resort island should be the "abandoned" beach.

As a result, Liu Xing flew directly into the storm, and then discovered that there was a moon-shaped island under the storm, with some abandoned and collapsed buildings on it, and even a stranded broken ship.

I see.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this would be another module!

If nothing else happens, players who were born on the second beach will find some way to reach this second island and discover this abandoned resort area and the broken ship that ran aground for unknown reasons! Then there may be a sudden heavy rain, and you may have to hide in a resort or break a boat, or simply return to the original resort island.

At this time, it is the turn of the deep divers to appear.
