Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing took a look at the thread-bound books that Yin En brought, and couldn't help but complain: "Except for some popular books, the other books in this martial arts module will only be published once! So in theory, they are all out-of-print books, and they are rare out-of-print books with a quantity of no more than 500 copies. Because miscellaneous books like these that kill time are benchmarked against online novels in the real world, they are basically determined when they leave the factory - two or three copies are sent to each city, one of which is used as performance material by local storytellers, and the other one or two are placed in bookstores for If it can't be sold, it will be bundled with other unsold books in one or two years and sold at a 10% discount. "

Because "Liu Peng" only had a few friends in the past, and these friends were also very busy at some times. After all, Yin En's character card had to help sell goods for the family, Ding Kun's character card had to go into the mountains to hunt, and Zhang Jingxu's character card often went on business trips to help draw some talismans to ward off disasters and pray for blessings, so "Liu Peng" also liked to read these miscellaneous books, especially when he was in charge of boiling medicine in the backyard, he would sit next to the stove and read.

If the book is really ugly, "Liu Peng" doesn't mind using it as a fire starter. Anyway, the miscellaneous books in this martial arts module are quite cheap, especially the unsalable books sold in packages, which are cheaper than straw paper, because the novelist has several patents for the production of paper, which can reduce the cost of publishing to the extreme, so the miscellaneous books using the lowest grade paper can make a profit at a 10% discount.

That's why Liu Xing scoffed at Yin En's statement at this time, because these thread-bound books, which were miscellaneous books as you can tell from the titles on the spines, were not worth much money in Liu Xing's opinion.

"Hehehe."

Yin En didn't refute anything at this time, but just showed an expression of "you know".

"Huh?"

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that these books on the table might be selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, that is, the content of these books has nothing to do with the titles and introductions on the covers.

"It's not that kind of book, is it? Yin En, please don't hurt me!"

Liu Xing's eyes widened, and he shook his head and said, "Don't ruin my reputation! So take all these books back quickly, lest others see them and think I'm not a good person!"

In the New Dragon Empire, although some types of books can be printed and distributed openly, they are also subject to many restrictions, such as no form of publicity, and a special counter must be set up to separate them from other bookshelves, and the cover must use special colors and layouts to ensure that passers-by can see at a glance what type of novel you bought, so bookstores are not allowed to repackage these types of novels.

As for consumers, the biggest constraint for them is that they can only buy three books at a time, and they can only make such special purchases twice a month.

Medicinal wine is good, but don't drink it greedily.

If a bookstore violates the relevant regulations, the bookstore will not be able to continue to operate. The owner and the staff will have to go bankrupt to solve the problem. As for the buyer, the punishment will be a small punishment, and he will be sent to the entrance of the vegetable market and beaten with 40 sticks.

So for the bookstore owners with average ability, although these types of books are sold at a higher price and have no worries about sales, the problem is that it is a bit troublesome to sell these books peacefully. At the same time, it is easy to be secretly stabbed by the neighbors around, which will cause an immeasurable blow to their reputation. Therefore, these bookstore owners will choose to do less and simply not sell these types of books. So if you want to buy this kind of books, there is only one choice in many cases, that is, go to the nearest large city, and then go to the largest bookstore in this city, and then take these books home with the eyes of the people around.

So it is really difficult for ordinary people to buy this kind of books, but there is a saying that where there is a need, there is a transaction, even if it is not a very serious transaction.

Therefore, some people will specially send those shameless lazy rogues to buy books for themselves, and then change the covers of these books to other books, and finally sell these books at high prices to those who need them.

Although these refined books are much more expensive than paperbacks, they are shipped confidentially, which can save your face and avoid being laughed at secretly.

But the problem now is that when something with little technical content sells well, there will definitely be a lot of counterfeit products. After all, no one will dislike making a lot of money, not to mention that this business is originally shady, so some people have to swallow their losses even if they suffer losses.

So as an ordinary person, if you don’t have a reliable channel, it is easy to buy counterfeit and shoddy goods. Therefore, Yin En’s ability to take out so many books now is an eye-opener for Liu Xing.

"No, no, no, Liu Xing, don’t look at me with such admiration, because there are only two books in this pile that are what you think, and these are not my own collection."

Yin En crossed his legs and said: "Aren't we planning to build a library recently? This will also make it easier for everyone to pass the time and see if they can learn anything from these books, such as triggering a new mission! Just For example, the day before Liu Xing came back, a player triggered a special mission from a book introducing geographical knowledge - a field trip. That is, when the player arrived at some famous geographical locations mentioned in this book, When you click on the coordinates, the corresponding reward will be triggered; for example, the closest to our Tianshui Town is Luwei Town, which Liu Xing visited on your way back, because the story of this town is well known in the Xinlong Empire, and There are also many rumors claiming that there are treasures in Luwei Town! After all, before Luwei Town disappeared, it was also the most prosperous town within a hundred miles."

"When the player who triggered the mission enters Reed Town, he can get a mysterious key to Reed Town. This key can open a valuable treasure box, but the specific location of the treasure box cannot be determined. I know, but it’s definitely not in Reed Town! Because this is included in the mission prompt, I guess the rewards for this check-in mission should be mission props with subsequent plots; so after thinking about it, this player He decided to give up on this task for the time being. Anyway, there is no time limit or failure penalty for this task, and he doesn’t have the time, energy, or strength to run around at this time. After all, these check-in locations are really scattered all over the world.”

As for reading books to trigger missions, this is a consensus reached by players before the martial arts module started. Because the amount of information in books is not generally high, there is no telling when you will see some useful tidbits. , thus triggering some treasure-hunting tasks. After all, in many martial arts-themed novels and film and television dramas, it is mentioned that some martial arts masters hide their lifelong learning or magical weapons, as well as gold and silver jewelry somewhere. As for who is the destined person, it depends on who can decipher the treasure information left by him, and half of the treasure information has been placed in the book. The more famous one is "Forty-Two" "Zhang Jing" and "Three Hundred Tang Poems".

"In addition to triggering tasks, you can also gain scholar achievements by reading these books. The more you read and the more seriously you read, the scholar's achievement level will also be improved accordingly, and it will also be used in certain judgments. It’s easier for you to pass! So Liu Xing, you have nothing to do now, so take this opportunity to complete this achievement.”

Yin En smiled, pointed to the book at the bottom and said: "Especially this book, it allows you to trigger an additional achievement, but to trigger this achievement you need to read the entire text! This is not what I am doing. I'm kidding you, but people who have read this book only triggered the achievement after reading the full text, so I spent a lot of effort to borrow this book. After all, no one has too many achievement points. , so if you want to trigger the achievement, you need to finish reading this book within two days. If you can't finish it, even if you are the leader, I will have to return this book to the library. Because there are many people waiting behind me.”

Looking at Yin En with a smirk on his face, Liu Xing couldn't say anything for a moment, because this was a conspiracy!

If you want to trigger the achievement, you must read this unique book, and this will give Yin En and others a new topic to talk about.

So do you want these achievement points?

Seeing the troubled Liu Xing, Yin En stood up and left with a smile, and did not forget to remind Liu Xing before leaving.

"By the way Liu Xing, you'd better not read this book tonight, because I'm afraid you won't sleep well after reading it, and you will miss tonight's activities."

After driving Yin En away, Liu Xing picked up a book casually, because he was indeed a bit too bored now, so it was good to read a book to pass the time. However, Liu Xing couldn't bear it without even looking at it twice. I remembered the bad thing in my mind.

Although Yin En came up with a stupid way to let others watch him to prevent himself from being controlled by this thing again and doing bad things.

But Liu Xing knew that it was better to seek help from others than to seek help from others, so he also wanted to rely on his own strength to deal with that thing that he still didn't know what it was.

"There's still a little too little information about it."

After Liu Xing thought for a moment, he still shook his head, "Now I know that it can control my five senses, and the premise may be that it can modify my memory bit by bit when I am not very focused, so it It kept distracting me before. This should be to desensitize me to it, so that even if I lose my memory for a period of time after being controlled by it, I won't think there is any problem with it. After all, I We were all used to it by then.”

Liu Xing frowned when he realized this, because the thing in his mind seemed to have a high level of intelligence, or it could be said that its preset program was very perfect and would not simply and crudely control the host. , only in this way can the host be completely controlled silently.

We have to find a way to break the situation.

At this time, Liu Xing thought that he was trapped in the backyard this afternoon. In fact, there was a very feasible way to break the situation, which was to use Yingjiang's eagle eye skill to forcefully divert his vision, and if Yingjiang could do it at this time, In the sky above the medical center, it can help you determine the size of the backyard.

It's a pity that I had forgotten about it at that time, otherwise I wouldn't be so scared that I almost didn't dare to go to the toilet.

You know, the last time Liu Xing was scared and didn't dare to go to the toilet was when he was in the single digits because he accidentally looked at something he shouldn't have seen. . . When Liu Xing was in college, he revisited his childhood shadow and found out that it was actually a comedy.

This is a bit embarrassing.

No, I can't be distracted at this time!

Liu Xing, who was frantically reminding himself not to be distracted at this time, naturally began to hint himself not to be distracted as soon as there was a sign, and even slapped himself for safety.

It was at this time that Alice, who had just walked in, saw Liu Xing hitting himself.

Seeing this situation, Alice, who had heard about what Liu Xing had encountered in the afternoon, subconsciously thought that Liu Xing was controlled by his five senses again and started to hurt himself, or that Liu Xing was fighting against his true second personality in willpower, but at this time his body and hands were controlled by different consciousnesses, so they started fighting!

Who should I help then? !

Although Alice rushed up at the first moment, she didn't know whether she should help Liu Xing's hands or body, so she simply hugged Liu Xing.

At this time, Liu Nan also walked into the ward with dinner and saw this indecent scene.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

Liu Nan shook his head, put down the dinner and turned away, leaving Liu Xing and Alice there looking at each other awkwardly.

This time it was even more difficult to explain.

Liu Xing also knew why Alice suddenly hugged him, that is, she thought that his five senses were controlled again, so he hurriedly explained that this time he was just afraid that he would be distracted and slapped him, and also talked about his understanding of why he was distracted.

"Well, I also think that the reason why you are distracted, Liu Xing, is that the thing in your brain wants to modify the factory settings of your brain to facilitate it to control your body in the future; secondly, it makes you accustomed to losing your memory from time to time, so that after it controls your body, you will feel that you are just distracted."

It's the end of the month, please subscribe.

By the way, it's getting hotter and hotter, so I won't rest tomorrow, and I'll take a day off on Sunday to go swimming and see if my shoulder injury has healed.
