Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Oh, why is it getting more and more off-topic? Let's talk about this module."

Shimian looked at the sky and continued: "It will take half an hour before I can use the stargazing technique, so if we are lucky, then we can fight with the cold spider, right? According to my experience in other games, this It is very likely that the cold spider will continue to attack us, and when the situation is not good, it will retreat directly. In other words, it will continue to sneak attack us, making it impossible for us to go to the department store smoothly, and we will more or less have some loss, so if we don’t solve it, the possibility of us passing the module will become lower and lower!”

"I agree with Asbestos's idea, because the Cold Spider is indeed a mythical creature with strong mobility. After all, those long legs are no joke! And we do lack the ability to restrain it, so If it wants to leave, it is really difficult for us to stop it; therefore, if we want to deal with this cold spider, we actually only have one chance, and that is when the cold spider launches its first attack, because at this time the cold spider is the smallest and most vulnerable. It’s our time! If we can repel its first attack, then it will value us more, so that it will be difficult for us to deal with it in the future.”

Liu Xing said seriously: "So we must seize this opportunity. Even if we can't completely eliminate this cold spider, we must make it dare not come to us for trouble again! Or it may be injured and have to go back to rest for a few days." God, it won't affect our next actions anyway; so the tactic I can think of now is to reproduce the hook and sickle gun used to break the chain horse. This thing is very suitable for dealing with the cold spider, as long as we can unload it If it loses a few legs, it will be considered useless.”

"I'm familiar with this! I actually made a hook-and-scythe gun before, because I joined a military club when I was in college. I spent a year making myself a set of armor and long and short weapons, and even There was also an unstrung bow, because I tried a friend's bow and found that I had no talent in this area, so I gave up on making a bow and just pulled a string to make it look like one. A bow."

Nall raised his hand and said: "It's just that time is limited. We can only use the existing materials to make a few simple hook and sickle guns. Although the effect may not be good, it should be able to make the cold spider throw a rat weapon."

"Okay, let's talk to Ament about this later."

Song Ke took out a stick of chewing gum from his pocket and said, "By the way, what is Amont doing now? Logically speaking, there is nothing to do in this small village, right?"

"Yes, Amonte and the others are doing nothing more than farming and exploring in this village, because in addition to people like us occasionally appearing in the dreamland, there are also some buildings popping up from time to time, such as ours This kind of department store you saw, that’s why Amonte’s brother was trapped in it.”

Liu Xing moved his body and said: "But I think there is nothing to say about these two things, or they have already discussed it, so now Amonte is already talking about something related to Martian cats. ? After all, he left in a hurry after meeting the Martian cat."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Shimian said: "Is there a possibility that Amonte is going to kill us all? Because we can't rule out the possibility that Amonte is a bad guy yet, although if he is really a bad guy If so, we would have been dead by now, or we would have been tied up and left here."

"No, no, no, there is another possibility that Amonte is planning to trick us into committing suicide! For example, in that department store, it is possible that only one person can come out after entering, but the person who enters must be willing, so Amonte They plan to trick us into it; this is similar to the plots in many movies. The villain pretends to be a good person at the beginning, making the protagonists think that he is doing good things, so he takes the initiative to do something, only to find that he has been tricked. ”

As soon as Naal finished speaking, Liu Xing and others heard the sound of footsteps. If nothing else happened, it was Amonte who was back.

Ever since, Liu Xing and others sat down in the pavilion with a tacit understanding, pretending to be chatting.

The person who came was indeed Amonte.

Ament was not polite and sat down directly and said: "There is a small problem. Our village has always had business dealings with the Cat Clan. Of course, it can also be said that the Cat Clan gave us some support for Mr. Liu's sake. After all, The cats are also considered the best in the dreamland, and even the old rulers would not dare to provoke them at will; so under normal circumstances, these things in our village would not be sold to them, even if they were given to them. People want it.”

That's true.

Liu Xing knows very well how powerful the cat tribe is in the dreamland, because behind them there is an active ancient god as their backer, and the cat tribe’s public talker - General Cat, is not easy to mess with. Yes, many people think that General Cat's strength is on the same level as some of the weaker Old Ones, and can be on par with Cthulhu at best.

So this Mr. Liu is really proud. Since he can convince the cat people to do business with such a small village, it is equivalent to traveling thousands of miles to collect scraps, and the scraps he receives are not enough to fill his tricycle.

Not simple.

Liu Xing frowned on WeChat and felt that Mr. Liu was a bit too powerful. More importantly, Mr. Liu was not well-known in today’s Cthulhu Run game lobby, as if he no longer existed, but it stands to reason that he is so powerful. It is impossible for a character to remain unknown in the forum!

You must know that in today's forums, there is a special post to record powerful NPCs in modules, because such NPCs usually appear in different players' modules. For example, one of the knights named Alex He has conducted mods with more than 200 players, and all of them praised him. However, this knight likes to play cards, so it is best for players to lose some money to him at the card table, and then make their own demands. , so that you can get help from Alex.

Unfortunately, this Alex does not exist in the parallel world where Liu Xing and others live, so this made Liu Xing sigh when he read the post.

In Liu Xing's parallel world, the most famous NPC is a businessman named Luo Xing. His connections are very wide, whether it is the Yuying family that Liu Xing has dealt with, the Corpse Food Cult, or Liu Xing once The druid boss of a certain bookstore he has visited, or the sharpshooter Simone, whom Liu Xing only knows by name, can be regarded as Luo Xing's partner, so as long as the player can raise the starting price, he can get it from Luo Xing. in exchange for all kinds of support.

And it is very easy to meet Luo Xing. That is to submit an article to a magazine run by Luo Xing. After explaining your intention and the price you are willing to pay, you just need to put an old seal on the signature of the article. Then you will be able to see Luo Xing. Someone will find you through the contact information you left, and after completing the initial communication, they will take you to see Luo Xing.

It is worth noting that Luo Xing is a person who pays great attention to efficiency, so when discussing business with him, players should not think about saying a few words before bargaining. Therefore, you only need to go up and explain your intention and how much money you are willing to pay. Luo Xing will provide multiple suitable plans for you to choose from, so you only need to choose a plan that you are satisfied with. When the time comes, Luo Xing may see that you are so neat in doing things and feel that you are a new friend that he can make. This will increase your favorability.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Luo Xing may issue tasks to players in future modules. If players can successfully complete this task, they can become Luo Xing's friends and gain a lot of benefits.

However, Liu Xing and others do not intend to contact Luo Xing, because Luo Xing is already tasteless to today's Liu Xing and others, and it is a pity to abandon it. It may even become a stumbling block. After all, Luo Xing values ​​​​himself very much. He has many connections, so sometimes he will take the initiative to act as a peacemaker.

So this Mr. Liu has always stayed in the dreamland and is not known to the players?

"The ground in our small village is full of catnip, which is one of the cat people's favorite foods, so we sell some catnip to the cat people, and the cat people will give us some food and daily necessities, so we We can support so many people with this little territory, and we won’t be short of anything, but there’s something wrong with the catnip these two days, it seems to be sick?” Ament said with a sigh.

Catnip? Isn't that Nepeta?

As a doctor, Liu Xing still knows that catnip is the common catnip in traditional Chinese medicine, and catnip is used to treat colds, so Liu Xing's home clinic will buy some catnip every now and then.

So Liu Xing also knows how to deal with some diseases and insect pests of Nepeta, and the most common question about Nepeta is two words - drainage, because Nepeta is a plant that is very afraid of water accumulation, so if the water in the ground is If it is too high, then the Nepeta may cause various problems.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said: "Mr. Ament, by the way, is there a lot of water in the land where you grow catnip? And this water has been there for a while?"

"Huh? How do you know, little brother? It rained rarely here a few days ago, so there was some water in the fields."

Ament said seriously: "The water in our village has to be obtained from a spring several kilometers away, because the towering trees here absorb too much water, so even if we dig deep wells, we can't get much water." , so our fields have been treated accordingly to avoid wasting this hard-won water."

Sure enough.

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Amonte, you are wrong to think so. Catnip is a plant that is very afraid of water accumulation, so if the water is not drained in time, various types of catnip may appear. Problem! So there is no problem if you do this normally, but if it rains, you need to drain the water as soon as possible!"

Hearing Liu Xing's affirmation, Ament did not dare to neglect, "I see, then we will arrange for manpower to drain the water later, but this crop of catnip is already gone, so we will be careful about this problem in the future. "

Liu Xing didn't know if it was his own misunderstanding, but Liu Xing felt that Amonte looked at him with a hint of admiration, giving people the feeling of an old father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. . . Wait, does this old man really have a daughter?

"Okay, let's talk about tomorrow's plans now!"

Ament sighed and continued: "Our plan is also very simple, that is, we will go directly to that strange building after breakfast tomorrow. However, we may encounter dangers along the way, such as the one that has been there all the time. The cold spider that secretly covets us is very likely to attack us on the way! In addition, there is a very special plant on this road, which Mr. Liu calls oxtail grass, because this kind of grass It looks like a cow's tail, and tastes like a cow's tail, but it swings about as hard as a cow's hoof."

"Ah, is there such a thing?" Shimian said with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes, this thing is outrageous in every sense, so it should be a new product created by a certain dreamer. After all, dreamers are so unreasonable in the dreamland."

Ament shrugged and said: "Although dreamers are not invincible existences in the dreamland, they are also the most bizarre existences, because they can create all kinds of magical things with their imagination. For example, I saw it with my own eyes I have seen a dreamer conjure a small boat out of thin air, sit on it and soar into the sky, and disappear in the blink of an eye; and this oxtail grass may be hidden under the fallen leaves, and suddenly appear when you pass by. I'll put it on for you, and then you can take off on the spot, and breaking a few bones will be considered light."

"Isn't this a landmine?"

Song Ke frowned and said: "Then this thing may pose a higher threat to us than the cold spider, because it can really catch us by surprise, and if we are hit, the broken bones will definitely not be able to escape, so Are these oxtail grasses found every now and then? Or are they everywhere in an area?"

"In an area, there will be an oxtail grass every three to five years, so we have not been able to find a safe road for so many years."

Ament sighed again and said helplessly: "As for bypassing this piece of oxtail grass, it is almost impossible, because this piece of oxtail grass is blocking an intersection. If you want to go around, just It will take about half a day to walk, unless you can climb a high mountain with almost no curvature, and there is also oxtail grass on this high mountain, so it will be a big deal to get close to it."
