Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "I don't know if you have ever seen the kind of game unpacking video? It is to unpack a game file and then study the modeling and various data inside. The most common one is that you see a majestic building during the game, but there is nothing inside the building, or you may enter a store, but all the models in the store are actually placed under the store, not as one-piece as you imagined."

"I have also seen this kind of video. It seems that in order to compress the size of the game file and the memory and computing power required to run the game, some models will be stored in certain places in a way that seems unreasonable to us, and they will be called out when the player wants to use them, so Some games put all the NPC and monster models in the void below the map, including some abandoned models. "

Shi Zixuan said seriously: "Before the game is released, everything is possible! Due to various reasons, it is inevitable that there will be some abandoned projects in the game, especially those games that are rushing to meet deadlines. Here I will focus on a certain cyber game and a game company that still needs to load when opening the door. After unpacking their games, you will find a large number of abandoned projects. To put it bluntly, these abandoned projects are because of the rush to meet deadlines, coupled with insufficient manpower, they have to give up the plots and characters that should have existed. So when you play these games, you will feel that some plot lines that should have follow-up will come to an abrupt end, or be condensed into a side quest that ends hastily. "

"But then again These abandoned projects had to be abandoned at the last minute, so the programmers were too lazy to delete them. You should have heard a joke, that is, as a programmer, when you write code, as long as the code can run normally, you don't care even if there are obvious bugs in it, because bugs are also part of this code, so if you delete this code, who knows what bugs will pop up? So some of these abandoned projects are already related to the game, and if you delete them, there may be unknown problems, so they are simply hidden. "

"So these so-called basements, is it possible that they are the abandoned projects in this martial arts module? Looking at the style of these basements, it is obviously the style of ordinary residential houses, but these residential styles may not be in line with The style of Heboyang City, so it was directly hidden by the Cthulhu game lobby and placed underground where it is almost impossible to be discovered. After all, who would have thought that there is a residential building under their feet? If the fire had not burned the land hard, I am afraid that this secret would be hidden forever. . . But according to the leader's previous speculation, this may also be a trace left by the previous civilization, but we have to dig deeper to see if there are more rooms. "

"I don't think the latter possibility is high."

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said seriously: "I also went to the scene to take a look and found that the layout of these rooms is quite old-fashioned, and they are basically the kind of square rooms. At the same time, there are really no doors and windows around, so I also think these rooms are the abandoned projects of this martial arts module! Because there is nothing worth mentioning in these rooms, so this is also in line with the setting of the abandoned project. "

"Well, it seems that this martial arts module may really be an early module of the Cthulhu game lobby, no! This should be an ancient parallel world created by the Cthulhu game lobby. Perhaps because of various problems with this original version of the ancient parallel world, and the various abandoned projects were a waste of resources, the Cthulhu game lobby simply never made this original version of the ancient parallel world again, but directly referred to the situation in the real world to create those modern parallel worlds that are similar, and there are not even many parallel worlds in the modern world view. "

Meng Fugui sighed and said: "To be honest, when I was in the real world, I liked to play the modern world view module the most, because this world view module really has a lot of battle rounds, and the combat power of the player character card is not much worse than that of ordinary mythical creatures at some times. For example, typewriters are not difficult to buy as long as you spend some money. ”

In a sense, Liu Xing can be regarded as a cloud player of the Cthulhu game, because Liu Xing has never played a Cthulhu game in the real world, at most he has seen it twice in other people's games, so Liu Xing can be regarded as one-step in place.

This is a flat attack, this is a jump, and this is a dodge, so now you have a general understanding of how to play this game, so you should go to fight Cthulhu now.

That's right, Liu Xing didn't even know how to play the most basic Cthulhu game back then, and he ran directly to the Cthulhu game hall to play the game with his life.

So when Liu Xing occasionally recalls the past, he can't help asking himself a question, that is, how did he survive to the present? You know, the survival rate of players in the Cthulhu game hall is not high, not to mention that he, a newbie, has to start from scratch... So am I really a genius?

"So back to the topic, the main reason why I suddenly came back today is that Guo Er took the opportunity to cause trouble. He believed that the fire was not an accidental fire caused by dry weather, but someone deliberately set it. Why! Of course, I think this was Guo Er taking the opportunity to cause trouble, because I was nearby accompanying Zhangjiamen’s chef to purchase ingredients for the next day. After all, the weather has been so hot these two days, and many ingredients have been put away. We don’t live there, so we spend the evening of the next day shopping for all the ingredients we need for the next day, and of course we can also go out for a walk.”

Zhang Jingxu took a deep breath and continued: "Because there are a lot of open spaces in the Southern District, you also know that the farming gene has been deeply rooted in our bones, so there are also many small fields in this open space. As for why There are no continuous fields, because Boyang City does not allow people to farm in the city! Of course, if you open a small field in front of your home, there will be no problem, and these fresh vegetables can be considered a supply! Boyang City’s daily needs are met, so Boyang City turns a blind eye to this.”

"So the residents in the South District have formed a loose business alliance to avoid the situation where you sell cheaply just to sell quickly. After all, this is considered a costless transaction. You must know that the land in the South District is also It is quite fertile, and you can grow a variety of vegetables with almost no need to deliberately fertilize; so this so-called Southern District Vegetable Market is also a hot spot. Although its single transaction volume is not high, the accumulated amount It’s not low! Therefore, there are many sects who want to settle in this southern district food market. You must know that many sects in the Xinlong Empire are rooted in a certain area. The area here can be a small town, or It can be a community.”

"Of course, the rooting here may be active or passive, or it may be that it has already taken root in one place from the beginning! Yes, although some sects are established in other places, if a sponsor invites If this sect goes to teach them, some small sects will still be willing to leave; guess what? In the end, this southern district vegetable market was taken over by Fei Shimen. Of course, Fei Shimen nominally did not want to see it. Other sects fought over this, so this can be regarded as a dark history of Feishimen, but this Nanmen vegetable market can also be regarded as the only designated vegetable supplier of the City Lord's Mansion. "

"So I have often followed the chef to the vegetable market in the past two days, and I have gotten to know a lot of vegetable vendors through his connections, including the suppliers of the City Lord's Mansion, so my original idea was to go through These suppliers came to get a shortcut into the city lord's palace; as a result, my plan failed before it succeeded, but I also discovered a problem, that is, Guo Er's reaction to this matter was a bit too much! The fire covered most of the southern district, but it was not enough for Guo Er to come to investigate the situation immediately. "

"Huh? This reaction is indeed a bit big. After all, this is ancient times."

Yue Shao put down the bowl and chopsticks and said: "A similar situation happened in Yueshan City before. The city lord also arranged for a few men to come and take a look. As for the loss, life and death are life and death, wealth is in the sky, so this Guo Er wants to What are the three things that the new official can do to make a good impression in everyone's eyes? "

"Probably not."

Liu Xing frowned and said: "For Guo Er, he probably doesn't care much about this kind of thing. After all, his purpose of coming to Boyang City is not simple. Maybe he is an undercover sent by other princes! So this southern district There should be something else going on, such as the illegal salt trade we were investigating before and the evil ways related to it? Could it be that the evil person selling illegal salt is the Feishi Sect!"

As soon as Liu Xing said this, everyone present was surprised, because even Yue Shao later heard about this matter, and also gave some clues about what he knew.

Although Yueshan City stands out as having no shortage of money, it is quite short of salt.

Why is this?

Because every time the moon is full, Yueshan City will offer various round-related foods to the Moon God. Among them, moon cakes are the most common and the most abundant food. What’s interesting is that everyone thinks that the Moon God likes to eat salty foods. Therefore, Yueshan City will make a lot of bacon every now and then. As for the most valuable ham, it will only be offered to the Moon God on August 15th. . . When they heard about this incident, Liu Xing and others were a little helpless to complain. After all, as a god, Moon God actually likes to eat salty food, so it is a bit abstract to say it.

All in all, Yueshan City needs a lot of salt, preferably high-quality salt, but the new Dragon Emperor will not let Yueshan City waste so much salt. After all, everyone knows that this salt is a top priority for an empire. , so making so much bacon in Yueshan City will inevitably lead to some waste. Even if these foods will be distributed to everyone in the city after every full moon night, or even sent to other cities, there will still be some waste in the process. There is a lot of loss.

By the way, because most people in Yueshan City eat a diet high in salt and fat, Yue Shao found that many people around him had high blood pressure.

The elderly will even suffer from symptoms of osteoporosis. Therefore, although the living standard of Yueshan City is ranked high in the entire Xinlong Empire, the average life expectancy is low.

So there is a popular saying in this martial arts module - everyone can only eat food of a certain value in their life. If you eat and drink well in advance, then you have to set off in advance.

In short, the salt that Yueshan City can obtain from normal channels every year is limited, even if they can get more salt from other places. This is why Yue Shao occasionally took a team away from Yueshan City before.

So Yueshan City has also come into contact with some private salt dealers, and got a lot of private salt from them. Therefore, Yue Shao also came into contact with several private salt dealers, the most recent one was a month ago.

And the private salt dealer is a traveling merchant who travels all over the country, carrying a shoulder pole and running around. You must know that even bandits will not attack the traveling merchant, because this is also a rule that everyone must abide by. After all, the traveling merchant is also an important channel for the bandits to trade with the outside world.

The most important thing is that the traveling merchant also has a very interesting rule, that is, he will never enter a city!

This is not because some cities will charge entrance fees, or that there is no city that charges entrance fees now, but if you bring large and small bags of things into the city, there will still be some inspections, and the caravans that bring goods will have to pay. As for the traveling merchants, even if they are one person, they are almost equivalent to a caravan.

Moreover, although the goods brought by the traveling merchants can be said to be complete, the problem is that the prices of these things are quite low. After all, the traveling merchants usually go to some small places to sell goods, so unless someone orders in advance, these traveling merchants will not bring too valuable goods, so they have no competitiveness in the city, not to mention that staying in the inn is not a small amount of money.

Therefore, the traveling merchants will choose to camp and rest in the wild. Even if they want to purchase goods, they will look for sources of goods in the market outside the city. Therefore, in a sense, the traveling merchants are also the best disguise of private salt dealers. After all, the people who will check their goods are almost all in the city, and these traveling merchants will not enter the city.
