Real Cthulhu Running Game

In Liu Xing's view, the martial arts version of the Xuanwu Gate Incident is very feasible.

The reason is very simple. Now the new Dragon Emperor has been ill for a long time, so various conspiracy theories are also rampant. Liu Xing alone has heard of more than a dozen versions, which naturally includes a certain person. Many princes even felt that their old fathers were occupying their positions and had no intention of moving for decades, so they had no choice but to personally take action so that their old fathers could retire "in peace of mind" and then "take care of themselves". "Nian Nian".

Just like Li Yuan after the Xuanwu Sect Incident, he stayed in the palace after abdicating the throne in favor of a worthy person. He devoted himself to giving Li Shimin many younger brothers and sisters, and his life was quite comfortable.

Therefore, Liu Xing and others had previously felt that some princes could actually go to see the new Dragon Emperor under the banner of "Qingjun side". If the new Dragon Emperor is really not suitable to continue to be emperor, then this prince can legitimately inherit the throne. system. . . Of course, if the new Dragon Emperor doesn't have any trump cards that can turn the tables, the prince can also be cruel, grit his teeth, and make the new Dragon Emperor take a back seat.

As for your brothers, you can carry out the Xuanwu Gate Revolution openly, invite them to visit the new Dragon Emperor, and then use the Forbidden Army to send your brothers to restart their lives. Anyway, these brothers of yours have already launched an army. , so there is no problem in labeling them as "disloyal."

Of course, you still have to be cautious at this time to ensure that you can really control the Forbidden Army, otherwise the protagonist of the Xuanwu Gate Incident will have to be replaced.

Therefore, Liang Hongwu's position is very important, and he may be able to influence the ownership of the throne.

However, other forbidden troops are not vegetarians, and most likely will stand against Liang Hongwu. Just like during the Xuanwumen Incident, some of the forbidden troops sided with Li Jiancheng, and it also had a certain effect.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said: "Alice, you should know about the changes in Xuanwu Gate, right? So do you think there is such a possibility, that is, a certain prince is wooing Liang Hongwu and preparing to use his oracle? The army does something.”

"The eldest prince?" Alice said without thinking.

Liu Xing shook his head and said with certainty: "The eldest prince has always been in charge of the capital. It is unlikely that he will win over the imperial army, because doing so is what Sima Zhao wants, and everyone knows it, so if the new Dragon Emperor is fine, , then his troubles would be too great; not to mention that the army that the eldest prince could mobilize was stationed near the capital, so his demand for the imperial army was not too high. Just like the reason why Ding Yuan was the greatest threat to Dong Zhuo back then was because His men are just across the river and can mobilize forces to deal with Dong Zhuo as soon as possible."

"So if the eldest prince is determined, he can lead his troops to capture the new Dragon Emperor now, and maybe he can end the main storyline of this martial arts module early, because I remember that in addition to the imperial guards who have been stationed beside the new Dragon Emperor, In addition, most of the Tianyu Army and Xuanjia Army are stationed outside the city, and a small number are on duty in the palace; therefore, the new Dragon Emperor can not mobilize many troops at the first time, not to mention that although the Yulin Army has very strong individual combat effectiveness, Strong, but the number is insufficient, after all, there are many masters around the new Dragon Emperor acting as guards."

"So Liu Xing, what you are saying is that other princes may use the Forbidden Army to deal with the eldest prince? Just like the Xuanwumen Incident, suddenly use the Forbidden Army to attack the eldest prince in the palace? Under normal circumstances, the eldest prince enters the palace. At that time, he and his entourage were not allowed to carry weapons, so the imperial army could easily take down the eldest prince and his party; if everything went well, they could find any excuse to get rid of the eldest prince, and in this way the great prince would be killed. Will the prince’s men get into chaos?”

Alice shook her head and said: "The feasibility of doing this is indeed very high, and the benefits after success are also very high, because you can directly receive everything from the eldest prince! Although there is a certain gap in the strength of the nine princes, but roughly The nine-point world structure is still maintained, so whoever gets two of them first will have a huge advantage; but the prerequisite for the Xuanwu Gate change is that you can control the Forbidden Army, and it is still under the nose of the new Dragon Emperor. So aren’t you afraid that the new Dragon Emperor is playing hard to get?”

Liu Xing chuckled and said with certainty: "As long as the Forbidden Army can really be controlled, then the opinions of the new Dragon Emperor are not important! Because most people have a misunderstanding about the Xuanwu Gate change, that is, Li Shimin solved it first Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji then went to discuss with Li Yuan who would be the emperor; in fact, at the beginning, Li Shimin had already sent people to control Li Yuan, and then had the final decisive battle with Li Jiancheng! After all, no matter what Li Yuan said He was also the emperor at that time, and even if those Imperial Guards defected to Li Shimin, they had to obey Li Yuan's orders honestly."

Looking at Alice who was a little confused, Liu Xing continued to explain: "Well, Alice, you may not understand this, that is, when the Forbidden Army chooses to support Li Shimin, they have to obey Li Yuan's orders, even if Li Yuan asks They took action against Li Shimin! Unless Li Shimin was really jealous and wanted not only brotherly respect, but also fatherly kindness and filial piety! Otherwise, Li Yuan is still the current emperor and the future supreme emperor, so if the imperial army does not take over After receiving Li Yuan's order, they can continue to act stupid and help Li Shimin deal with his brother."

"But if during this process, Li Yuan's order comes into the hands of the Forbidden Army through various means, and this order still allows the Forbidden Army to take action against Li Shimin, then the Forbidden Army will have to face a choice - either go all the way to the dark side, directly Ignore Li Yuan's order, or you have to obey the order and take action against Li Shimin; again, Li Yuan is the emperor and the only loyal object of the Forbidden Army, so if Li Yuan becomes the Supreme Emperor in the end, then he can pursue these Forbidden Army. Li Shimin will not be able to take action to protect them when the time comes."

"Ah, is there such a thing?" Alice asked in confusion.

Liu Xing shrugged and said with a smile: "It's a matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. If you don't hear the order, you can continue to act stupid, and it won't be easy for you to get into trouble later. But if you hear the order, you can still do it." If you disobey, then the problem will be big, so even if you have the skill of following the dragon, you cannot be a death-free gold medal; therefore, if you want to reproduce the Xuanwu Gate changes in this martial arts module, you must first To control the new Dragon Emperor, if you just persuade the Forbidden Army to help, the probability of failure is 70%, unless you are ready to deal with the new Dragon Emperor ruthlessly, or can completely control the Forbidden Army, so that they not only I’ll help you deal with the other princes, and take care of the new Dragon Emperor as well.”

"But the possibility of doing this is not high, because in addition to the Forbidden Army, there are some martial arts masters around the new Dragon Emperor. Although they may not be able to defeat the Forbidden Army, they can also escape with the new Dragon Emperor, so If you want to recreate the Xuanwu Gate Incident in this martial arts module, we talked about it in the first half, but whether we can make the new Dragon Emperor abdicate in favor of someone else is another matter. However, if the prince who wants to be the protagonist has someone around him, If players help make suggestions, then some things are a different matter, because if I were the player who made suggestions, the first thing I would do is take action against the new Dragon Emperor."

"Under normal circumstances, the martial arts masters around the new Dragon Emperor should also work in shifts, so they can choose a suitable time to take action. As long as the new Dragon Emperor is controlled before others react, then the changes in the Xuanwu Gate will also be Even if it is more than half successful! You only need to call the supporting characters in the story to the palace, or even let them appear in your sphere of influence, then you can directly take action. Regardless of success or failure, you can make the supporting characters withdraw from this big drama. , unless these supporting characters actually took the protagonist’s script.”

"Well, Liu Xing, what you said makes sense, but I'm still a little confused. That is, are you optimistic about the Xuanwu Gate Change? Or do you think it will be difficult to succeed in the Xuanwu Gate Change? Why do I feel that you are repeatedly tyrannical? Jump?" Alice said, rubbing her temples.

"What I mean is that those princes may think that they will be the protagonists of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but in fact there is only one protagonist, and that is the New Dragon Emperor! It can be said that even if the New Dragon Emperor is not in the palace now, he can Silently influencing the direction of the plot, especially in the Xuanwu Gate incident, whoever he helps will win! Even if his opponent has been prepared for a long time, not only has he attracted the Forbidden Army, but even those martial arts masters have chosen Take a stand."

Liu Xing said seriously: "Unless those princes can beat the snake seven inches away and directly control the new Dragon Emperor in their own hands, no matter what they do, it will be in vain. In the end, it will be like a certain movie with excellent graphics. But it’s like a movie that only has this advantage. The prince tried his best to use a set of fancy operations, but the emperor was still able to resolve it easily.”

Alice nodded first, then thought of something, shook her head and said: "The focus of the martial arts module this time should not be the emperor and the prince, but the two words martial arts, right? The so-called Nine Dragons Seizing the Heir and the possible Xuanwu Sect The changes are actually just a background board, so whether it is the process or the final result, the biggest variable should be those martial arts masters, right?"

Hearing what Alice said, Liu Xing laughed, "Alice, you finally reacted. I thought you wouldn't realize that I was setting you up."

That’s right, the main purpose of Liu Xing’s sudden mention of the Xuanwu Gate Change was not to discuss with Alice whether the Xuanwu Gate Change could be replicated in this martial arts module, and how difficult it would be to achieve this, but I want to test whether Alice has changed her thinking and transformed herself from an NPC into a qualified player.

Although Alice had been aware of the existence of the Cthulhu Game Hall a long time ago and recognized her current situation, she was recognized by the Cthulhu Game Hall and became a special player.

But before the start of this martial arts module, Alice has been staying in the original parallel world and living a life similar to before. Because she cannot leave this parallel world like Liu Xing and others, so when Liu Xing is in reality While spending one day in this world, Alice may have lived in a parallel world for a week.

The most important thing is that at this time, Alice can only have access to NPCs and character cards that are better than NPCs, and during this period of time, Alice can only live an ordinary life, because in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall The module is like a movie. The player is undoubtedly the protagonist of the movie, and the NPC can only serve as the background board and tool man. Therefore, the important plot of the movie will only happen when the player appears. Therefore, if there are only NPCs performing on the stage, there will be a dull cutscene.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that Alice's identity was a bit embarrassing. Although she was already a player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby in name, she still lived an NPC-like life, and she could not be discovered by anyone other than herself. Already a player!

Therefore, Liu Xing is very worried about one thing, that is, after working for so long, Alice still has not been able to change her way of thinking and regard herself as an NPC who knows more.

To use an analogy that may not be appropriate, it is the classic joke - after a heated discussion, two old farmers still couldn't decide whether the emperor used a gold hoe or a silver hoe.

Ever since, Liu Xing used the Xuanwu Gate Change to set a trap for Alice. The entire process was analyzed from the NPC perspective as to whether the martial arts module could replicate the Xuanwu Gate Change, that is, with the "New Dragon" "Emperor" is the core point of the discussion, and then the princes and the imperial army are used as the main variables, and the martial arts masters among them become tool men. It seems that there are only two "protecting the new Dragon Emperor" and "conveying orders for the new Dragon Emperor" a method of action.

If it is an NPC, then Alice will definitely think along the lines proposed by Liu Xing, because for the NPCs in this martial arts module, the new Dragon Emperor and the prince are the real protagonists, while the imperial army and martial arts masters It is a supporting role that assists the protagonist, or even a supporting role that serves as a backdrop.

This is consistent with "reality".

But if you are a player, you will soon realize a problem, that is, this special module is named "Martial Arts" in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, instead of "History" or "Palace Fighting" The name of the class, so the focus of this module is on these martial arts masters, and what the new Dragon Emperor and the princes do is to build a suitable martial arts platform for these martial arts masters.

It's like a concert. Some people will pay attention to whether the singer's singing skills are good, while others will pay attention to whether the singer's performance is handsome or not.

Liu Xing is different. He only cares about whether the dancers are tired.
