Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing's words only made Han Yu smile reluctantly, because he had heard such words many times.

At this time, Han Yu also reminded Liu Xing of a sentence - people with some talent sometimes suffer more than ordinary people without talent, because they can see more beautiful scenery, but cannot be in it.

So who said this?

Of course Wozki Soder.

"By the way, Mr. Han, didn't your father get seriously ill some time ago? How is his health now? Since he can handle paperwork now, he should be considered well, right?" Xia Fei asked.

"It's not bad. My father did have a serious illness at that time, but fortunately he was treated in time, so in general, he was safe. He has recovered to about 70% now, but there is a possibility that he will not recover. The way he looked before he got sick."

Han Yu shook his head and said with some sadness: "My father is a very strong person, because you also know that he is the successor of Gongyang School, so in my impression, my father is always a very tough person. As a result, After this serious illness, he seems to have become a different person, at least he will no longer just hold on... But I don't know why, I always feel that he is a little strange like this."

As soon as Han Yu said these words, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly solidified.

After all, Liu Xing and others are outsiders in the final analysis, so it is difficult for them to speak on such matters.

However, the Han Yu in front of him can be regarded as a social expert. In addition to reciting poems and competing with like-minded people, he also often mixes with all kinds of people in Philadelphia. Therefore, Han Yu's friends also have many people from all walks of life, such as salesmen. Xu Bin from Baozi, Hong Ying from opera singer and others.

So Han Yu also knew that he had said the wrong thing at this time, and quickly said with a smile: "In the final analysis, this is a good thing, because my father has long had the idea of ​​abdicating the throne and making way for others to enjoy the happiness of family, so his temper can Getting better is definitely the best thing for me. After all, in my father's opinion, I, a guy who idles around all day, just doesn't do his job properly. Therefore, if his temper is still the same as before, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace for a few days. You can get through it.”

"Oh? Mr. Han, didn't you already obtain the academic title before? So in order to go further, there is nothing wrong with studying the Four Books and Five Classics at home, right?" Miao Fei asked curiously.

"It's not enough, because my father was already a county magistrate when he was my age, so my ability is still not enough."

Han Yu suddenly looked at Yu Lei and Xia Fei and continued: "Originally, if nothing happened this year, I planned to go to Beijing to take the exam next year, but the current situation is not good."

Yu Lei raised his brows, nodded and said: "Yes, the current situation is indeed not good. Mr. Han, your plan will definitely come to nothing, but you can also take another path, just to see if you dare ”

What surprised Liu Xing was that Han Yu responded directly: "I'd like to hear the details! As long as it's suitable, I, Han, am still willing to give it a try!"

interesting.

Liu Xing and Xia Fei and Miao Fei, who were watching the show next to them, were all bright-eyed because no one expected Han Yu to say such a thing.

After all, Han Yu is not unaware of the current situation, so he should know what the other path Yu Lei refers to.

Logically speaking, as long as Han Yu's father can stay in peace without anyone's help, then no matter which prince succeeds in the end, his position as the governor of Feicheng will be quite solid, and Han Yu only needs to have If he has a certain level of fame, he can either become a county magistrate or wait to take over from his father. After all, no one in Fei City will come to compete with Han Yu.

However, if Han Yu chooses the path mentioned by Yu Lei, then it is equivalent to siding with the third prince, so Han Yu's wealth and life are bound to the third prince!

If Han Yu is one person who is full and the whole family is not hungry, then Liu Xing can still understand why Han Yu would do this. It is nothing more than wanting to give it a try and turn his bicycle into a motorcycle!

But, combined with Han Yu's own conditions, this kind of operation, which was originally a high-risk operation with high returns, has become a high-risk operation with average returns, and even some losses outweigh the gains! Because Han Yu could get something if he chose to work steadily, but now he had to risk his wealth and life to get it in advance. This was a bit too hasty!

Therefore, unless Han Yu had a chance to get a higher reward than the position of prefect, even Liu Xing, who was on the side of the third prince, could not understand why he did this. Could it be that he already knew that he could complete the awakening and become the third prince? A big help?

That's impossible. After all, although Han Yu is special, he is just an NPC in the final analysis, unless he can understand his situation like Alice and know the existence of the Cthulhu Game Hall!

However, Liu Xing feels that although Han Yu and Alice are both NPCs, their natures are completely different, because Alice is ultimately a real person in a parallel world, but the parallel world she is in is controlled by Cthulhu. After assimilating to the game hall, she lost her original memory and turned into a digital life controlled by the Cthulhu Running Group game hall.

But Han Yu is different, or the NPCs in the martial arts module this time may be completely different from the NPCs in other modules. Because of the particularity of the martial arts module itself, Liu Xing suspects that Han Yu and other NPCs are genuine NPCs. It is an NPC created by modeling the early Cthulhu Run game lobby, and then adding AI that is no different from a real person, so in the final analysis it is an artificial intelligence program.

After all, in the previous dream, Liu Xing discovered that in the original Cthulhu Running Game Hall, the mythical creatures that appeared in the module were directly created virtual existences, so they needed to consume the storage of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall itself. energy, so those early modules that Liu Xing had seen seemed a bit fussy. Compared with today's modules, they were like big online movies with insufficient cost. Not to mention hiring qualified actors, even the costumes The plot is a complete mess, and the plot flow is also quite short and direct, just to prevent players from having time to find faults.

For example, the ruined city module that looks like a big scene actually has few distinctive buildings, and the so-called hospital was directly converted from a dormitory building. Although the interior decoration is different, the structure is the same. Exactly the same.

One of the key elements of the module is that there seem to be quite a lot of mythical creatures, but in fact the only ones that appear are the Qiuqiu Man and the Human-Faced Rat, plus an invisible son who only exists in BOSS battles! As for the so-called Bayaki, in Liu Xing's opinion, it is just a background texture and should not have any interaction with players.

Finally, there are NPCs, and there are none! As for why this is the case, Liu Xing thinks there is only one possibility, and that is to rely solely on the energy of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall to create an NPC that is intelligent and can interact with players in various ways. The cost may be several times more than that. The total number of mythical creatures is even higher, because these mythical creatures don't require any brains, they just need to rush up and start fighting after seeing the player.

So the Cthulhu Run game lobby at this time was equivalent to a large sandbox game. Judging from the cover, it looked pretty good. However, once I entered, I found that the game textures were extremely repetitive and there were very few NPCs that could be interacted with. As for the monsters that need to be dealt with, there are only a few types.

If it weren't for the fact that the Cthulhu Run game lobby at that time was constantly launching new modules, it might have lost about half of its players in a few days.

So after Ao Guanhai and others took control of the Cthulhu Running Team game hall, they chose another route, which was to capture various mythical creatures and humans from various parallel worlds and let them serve as the Cthulhu Running Team. The NPCs in the game lobby then transform the parallel world they are in into the place where the module takes place. This can save a lot of expenses and at the same time give players a better "game experience".

Therefore, as long as nothing unexpected happens, Han Yu should be an early NPC in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, a pure artificial intelligence program!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing can understand why Han Yu made such a seemingly unreasonable choice, because his established program was designed in this way, that is, he must stand on the side of the third prince no matter what.

After thinking about this, Liu Xing realized a possibility, that is, this martial arts module may not have as high a degree of freedom as other modules. In other words, the behavioral logic of some important NPCs has already been designed. So they seem to have many choices when facing some things, but in fact there is only one way to go.

It's like there may seem to be many roads going up a mountain, but they all converge at the top of the mountain.

Of course, some mountain roads only go up to halfway up the mountain, and some even go all the way down the mountain.

Therefore, in this martial arts module, the things that players can change may be less than Liu Xing imagined.

let it go.

Liu Xing looked at Han Yu who looked serious and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there are no big mistakes in his guess, it means that Han Yu is unlikely to have any big problems in tomorrow night's mission. However, if he cannot protect Han Yu, then Han Yu will not be able to enter his heyday.

Something, but not much.

"Brother Yu, you may not know something. Although I have several younger brothers, their talents in all aspects are a bit mediocre. Therefore, in order to ensure that our Han family will not fall into decline, I must achieve something. But I know my abilities may be lacking.”

Han Yu said bluntly: "That's why I am obsessed with studying poetry. I want to find a new way to become an official through poetry!"

Is there such an operation?

Liu Xing quickly checked the memory of "Liu Peng" and found that what Han Yu said was true.

In short, in addition to being good at fighting, the new Dragon Emperor also has some talents in literature, so the new Dragon Emperor will occasionally hold a poetry meeting, and this poetry meeting will not read anything else, just It depends on the quality of the poems you write.

Of course, if the poem you write can be remembered forever, but if it is average in other aspects, then the new Dragon Emperor will only reward him with some gold and silver, and will not let him serve as an official.

The last time he became an official in this way, Bai Juyi became the prefect of Haocheng!

It seems that Bai Juyi is already complete, otherwise he would not have left Han Yu so far behind. You must know that Han Yu is the head of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. In addition to his high literary talent, there are also reasons why he can hold a high position for a long time. .

So at this time, Bai Juyi and Han Yu can be said to be one in the sky and one in the earth. Therefore, the only reason Liu Xing can think of is that Bai Juyi has completed his awakening, or that Bai Juyi was already in an awakening state before the start of this module!

This is a bit interesting.

Now Liu Xing knows three poets - Lu You, Han Yu and Bai Juyi. Only Bai Juyi has reached a historical height, while the fame of Lu You and Han Yu is limited to their own city, so the gap between the two is still too big. A little bigger.

So the question is, what causes such a gap?

In Liu Xing's view, the Cthulhu Running Group game hall should treat everyone equally, allowing special NPCs such as Han Yu to stand on the same starting line, instead of letting Bai Juyi reach the finish line early.

Of course, more importantly, the popularity of the three characters "Bai Juyi" is on the same level as that of Li Bai, so would it be too conspicuous for him to become the governor of a city?

What's more, Bai Juyi is the governor of Haocheng!

You must know that Haocheng is one of the top ten famous cities in the world, and it is on the same level as Liangcheng. Moreover, Haocheng seems to be on the territory of the second prince, but the second prince has no way to reach into Haocheng.

The reason is very simple. The "Tai Mountain" of the New Dragon Empire is near Haocheng, so the New Dragon Emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Haocheng!

Therefore, Haocheng is also the only city in the entire Xinlong Empire that does not have a sect. Of course, the headquarters of Wutai is in Haocheng, so the second prince does not dare to have any thoughts about Haocheng, because those guests at the Wutai headquarters And worship, at least they all start as first-class masters! As for the three leaders of Wutai, they are at the level of the top ten masters!

Ahem, as we all know, it is normal for there to be five of the four kings, so this time there are more than ten top ten masters in the martial arts module. Therefore, the title of "top ten masters" can be regarded as a realm. At present, There should be eighteen people recognized as the top ten masters, and there are winners and losers among them.

Therefore, there are three top ten masters in this Wutai, and there are only two top ten masters in other sects or forces. This shows how strong the Wutai headquarters is. After all, this Wutai is the new Dragon Emperor. The final trump card!

But I don’t know why, but the members of the Wutai headquarters will never leave Haocheng unless they have something important to do.
