Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Trouble, if that Tai Sui really develops and grows in the Snow Mountain Cities, then it will become our biggest nightmare! Because although the Snow Mountain Cities are a little barren, it is enough for Tai Sui to feed it for a while. By then, if this Tai Sui can really grow without limit, then it may become bigger than our city of Philadelphia! At that time, it will not have to do anything, it will just run up and crush it like a mountain, and then a city will become history!"

Prefect Han said worriedly: "And Yu Lei, you just said that this Tai Sui can complete certain aspects of evolution after swallowing certain creatures, such as gaining the ability to move; then since it can evolve legs, this means It is also possible that it can evolve and take action, and if we want to fight it in close combat, we might not be able to defeat it."

"I think so too. If that Tai Sui turns all its legs into hands, it will be the Avalokitesvara with Ten Thousand Hands! If it learns to use weapons again, even the top masters will not dare to do so at will. Because there is a saying that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, not to mention that this Tai Sui has more than four hands... But what is even more troublesome is that even if we use a siege crossbow on that Tai Sui, the effect will probably be It won’t be too good, at most it will change from scratching it to poking it with a needle.”

Yu Lei touched his chin and said: "Although it is said to be a precaution, we have no way to deal with this Tai Sui for a while, because as martial arts masters from the Central Plains when we go to the cities in the snow mountains, the first difficulty we encounter is the inability to adapt. After all, the environment of the snow-capped mountains is not only cold, but the wind is also so strong that it can make you feel difficult to breathe! In addition, there is a god living near the cities in the snow-capped mountains - the God of the Snow-capped Mountains. This god also has a moody personality. , there will often be blizzards without warning, and occasionally a bolt from the blue will come to you.”

Liu Xing, who was sitting next to him, could only nod silently at this time, but he was thinking in his heart that this Tai Sui was the ultimate boss in this martial arts module? Of course, the martial arts module here refers to the initial closed beta version. That is, after players like Ah Yi complete their main missions, they may trigger the hidden mission to defeat Tai Sui, because Tai Sui is hiding in the north. The cities in the snow-capped mountains are far away from the Central Plains region where players are active.

However, Liu Xing feels that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall back then was quite conscientious and would not arrange for players to go to the snowy mountains to feed the Tai Sui. Therefore, the Tai Sui will most likely stage a "Tai Sui descending from the Tianshan Mountains" scene. Drama.

So this will most likely turn into a tower defense game, allowing players to snipe this Tai Sui near a certain city.

However, in today's martial arts modules, this Tai Sui should still be a hidden mission, and it is the kind of hidden mission with extremely strict trigger conditions. Players need to go to the snow mountain cities to find a way to make it appear, and then find a way to get it. Bring it back to the Central Plains area, then it is possible to trigger the hidden mission of conquering Tai Sui before the end of this martial arts module!

So although Liu Xing has heard a lot of information about Tai Sui, he has not activated the corresponding tasks. But what surprises Liu Xing the most is that the World of Warcraft illustrated book has not activated new content.

Is this Tai Sui not a monster?

Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that this Tai Sui might not be a World of Warcraft, or that he misunderstood the meaning of Warcraft at the beginning and simply compared Warcraft to a mythical creature. But the problem is that Warcraft has a The common point that has not yet been confirmed is that they may all be artificial products. It is some Frankenstein in the martial arts world who transformed existing creatures into this kind of monster with special abilities.

Creatures like Tai Sui that have special abilities but have not been captured for transformation cannot be classified as Warcraft.

Moreover, in "Liu Peng's" memory, Tai Sui's appearance rate in various folk stories is actually not low. However, Tai Sui in these stories is mostly used as a natural treasure. Occasionally, Tai Sui appears as a villain and is regarded as a villain by the protagonist. stepping stone.

However, the Tai Sui in these stories and the Tai Sui in Yu Lei's mouth have many similarities, so Yu Lei calls the unknown creature Tai Sui.

"In short, I will also tell the third prince about this matter. If possible, we have to ask the fourth prince stationed in the north to send people to the cities in the snow mountains to determine what kind of existence this monster that has not yet revealed its true face is. , if it is really that Tai Sui, we must let the cities in the Snow Mountains take action to deal with this Tai Sui, at least not let it eat and evolve so unscrupulously."

Yu Lei took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "If you don't worry about the long term, you must worry about the immediate future. This Tai Sui is actually quite far away from us, and it is impossible for him to leave the snow mountain cities for a while and come back to cause trouble for us. "I don't know if this Tai Sui holds a grudge. If it does, I suspect it might be cruel to me. After all, I almost burned it to death back then."

"Yes, the biggest problem now is the seizure of the legitimate son in Kowloon."

Prefect Han said bluntly: "Actually, some time ago, there was a fortune teller in Fei City who went to live in seclusion in the mountains overnight, because he calculated that this year there would be a pattern of Kowloon seizing the throne!"

fortune teller?

Liu Xing looked at Prefect Han with some confusion, because in "Liu Peng's" memory, he only had the title of fortune teller, and he had never heard of fortune teller.

Because in this martial arts module, any occupation that can bring a "teacher" in the suffix has some background, and it is also somewhat related to the various schools, such as the one Liu Xing met when he was in Far West City. Although the famous novelist is almost the same as the common storyteller in restaurants and teahouses, they all tell stories to others. However, after graduating from Zhuzi College, the novelist can call himself a "lecturer" and can give lectures in the place where he usually lives. Chengchi receives a salary of no more and no less.

So in a sense, the lecturer in this martial arts module is equivalent to the host on the TV station, and the storyteller is an ordinary anchor on various live broadcast platforms!

As for why Mr. Storyteller is called "Mr. Storyteller", the main reason is that "Mr." corresponds to "Teacher", so this can be regarded as trying to gain traffic.

Of course, if the professional ability of some storytellers can exceed that of ordinary lecturers, then if they are still young, they can join the Zhuzi Academy and become novelists. If they are too old, although they cannot continue their studies, they can still call themselves lecturers. .

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the fortune teller mentioned by Han Taishou could be simply understood as an advanced version of the fortune teller, but Liu Xing had never heard of any school related to fortune telling in Zhuzi College.

"Fortune teller, I didn't expect there to be a fortune teller in Philadelphia."

Yu Lei was a little surprised, and said with emotion: "I haven't met a fortune teller for many years, and what do those fortune tellers say? They can only say nothing in front of a real fortune teller, so you, Governor Han, Do you know this fortune teller? Can you introduce me to him?"

It seems that this fortune teller has something to say.

"How should I put it, he can be considered an old friend of mine."

Prefect Han said with a smile: "Yu Lei, you also know that a real fortune teller will be related to the three evils and five deficiencies to some extent, and the more times he tells fortunes, the more serious his three evils and five deficiencies will be, so I This friend of mine had washed his hands a few years ago and no longer told fortunes for outsiders, because he did not want to be implicated in any more karma. It was precisely for this reason that he moved into the mountains and forests overnight, fearing the Third Prince. His Highness will send someone to find him, and the consequences will be very difficult for him to bear."

"That's true. I remember that when I first arrived at the palace, there was a very young fortune teller in Liangcheng at that time. Even His Highness the Third Prince treated him as a guest. As a result, this fortune teller did not become famous for long. , was turned into charcoal by a bolt from the blue in broad daylight! Because he told fortunes for many people in those years, this cannot be described as leaking secrets." Yu Lei sighed.

"This is also the reason why there are not many fortune tellers now, because real fortune tellers know that every time they tell fortunes, it is equivalent to a trip to the gate of hell! And even if it is not related to the huge cause and effect related to Kowloon's seizure of the legitimate son, it may still be a fortune teller. Fortune teller's fortune; This friend of mine lost one hand in more than ten years, and the reason why he became like this is that on a whim, he told the fortune of the child next door who was celebrating a hundred-day feast, and because I drank a few more sips of wine and heard a few words of compliment to myself, so I said a few more words."

Taishou Han sighed, shook his head and said: "Even this child will not have much change in the future. Because of this, my friend hit his head when he went home, and then passed out on the street. As a result, he met several people. A hungry wild dog."

"Hiss~"

Taking into account the context, Liu Xing could even imagine what happened to Prefect Han's friends. The picture made people feel numb just thinking about it.

"According to normal circumstances, my friend's life would definitely be in danger, but in the end, just one hand was missing, which means that this is really God's arrangement, a small punishment and a big warning for my friend! So from then on, although my friend still told people's fortunes, it was only for a while, and it was only for one thing, so he didn't encounter any big problems in these years."

As soon as Han Taishou finished speaking, Liu Xing couldn't help but asked: "Han Taishou, since you said that your friend figured out how to seize the legitimate son in Jiulong, then this cause and effect alone is not enough for him to hide in the deep mountains and old forests. You escaped, right? Besides, he told you this matter, so he isn’t worried that he will encounter any beasts, even warcraft? "

As soon as Liu Xing said this, just when Prefect Han was about to say something, his face suddenly became serious.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Before Liu Xing could react, Prefect Han stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I have to go see my old friend now, because something might really happen to him." Got it!"

After saying this, Prefect Han hurriedly left the living room.

At this time, Yu Lei also reacted, frowning and said: "Apeng, you really may have come true! Because yesterday's earthworm may not have passed by Fei City by chance, and was directed at it. That friend of Prefect Han is here!"

After hearing what Yu Lei said, Liu Xing realized that the earthworm yesterday might indeed be coming for the fortune teller, because the earthworm had not been to Philadelphia several times in the past few decades!

"Fortune teller, you really go against the grain."

Yu Lei sighed again, looked at Liu Xing and said: "I heard my master say that although there were not many fortune tellers a few decades ago, there could still be a double-digit fortune teller in a big place like Liangcheng. Fortune tellers, and a small place like Philadelphia has to have one or two fortune tellers in charge, and the fortune tellers nowadays are basically the disciples and descendants of these fortune tellers, but they have only learned a little bit, because fortune tellers But they need to pay more attention to talent than those of us who practice martial arts, after all, they need to communicate with the world and understand yin and yang!"

"But as time went by, these fortune tellers died one after another due to various accidents, so the remaining fortune tellers also encountered some accidents, either because they were missing arms or legs, or They became lonely, so they understood that this was all punishment for leaking secrets! After that, the number of fortune tellers became less and less, and most of them lived in seclusion, and at the same time they were not very keen on collecting fortunes. He is a disciple, so he is the youngest fortune teller in my impression, and he is also at the age where he can truly understand destiny."

At forty there is no confusion, at fifty one knows destiny.

Although in this martial arts module, the average life expectancy is much higher than that of those dynasties in history, it is also promoted by those who practice martial arts, so there are not many ordinary people who can reach the age of fifty.

It can be seen that this fortune teller has become a real "sunset red" profession.

"So in the past two years, I am sure that the number of fortune tellers who are still there can be counted on one hand, and they have all begun to live in seclusion. Even the third prince has no way to invite them out!"

Yu Lei shook his head and said: "Actually, a month ago, when the third prince heard that His Majesty was ill in bed, he went to ask these fortune tellers to give him a fortune. As a result, these fortune tellers didn't care what you said. Nothing came, and the third prince couldn't do anything about it... But, when I returned to Liangcheng last time, I heard that two more fortune tellers died suddenly in the past few days. It seems that they still tolerate it. I couldn't help but calculate a hexagram, and even if the result of this hexagram was not revealed to outsiders, the cause and effect would be unbearable for them."

Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, another mission came to his door.

Fortune telling!
