Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing continued while picking the stones under his feet: "Before we left the area surrounded by barbed wire, didn't we already determine that the total number of players in the area was about 2,000? And the four directions of southeast, northwest, plus the four directions combined in pairs make a total of eight directions, which means that in an ideal situation, there will be about two or three hundred players who choose to move in the same direction; that is to say, the number of players who can currently see the wooden bridge is between two hundred and eight hundred, because now there are at least one direction, and at most three directions. Players may want to cross this wooden bridge."

"That's right, if this wooden bridge is located in the south, then only all the players who choose to move towards the south, as well as some players in the southeast and southwest can see this wooden bridge! Of course, although our vision is indeed much clearer after arriving at the river, the visible range is It's still not very good, so maybe only some players who go to the south can see it. "

At this time, Lu Feiyu also understood what Liu Xing meant, so he followed the idea given by Liu Xing and said, "If I were the designer of this event, then the service life of this wooden bridge, no, it should be that the number of people who can pass through must be limited. After all, if everyone can walk across, there is no need to design such a turbulent river that must have a bridge to cross. Of course, some third-rate masters, or players who are better at light work, or who can pole vault can cross the river directly; in short, since this river is placed here, it must have its mission, that is, to stop us players, and then see how we players can cross the river with our own magical powers. "

"Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. "

Liu Xing picked up a palm-sized stone that looked like a river clam and said: "Just As you said, in addition to performing Qinggong to cross the river, if you are good at swimming, you can also swim across. After all, the river water looks quite clear, so there should be no debris in the water. You don't need to worry about being hit by something after entering the water. Therefore, as long as you are a good swimmer, you can still swim across; in addition, if you can use the flying claw, you can use it to fix it on a tree on the opposite side, and then tie the rope to a tree on this side, and you can rely on your arm strength to cross the river. "

"I remember that there were several flying claws in the wooden boxes here, and there were also special items such as flying stone ropes. I remember that none of our players knew how to use them. After all, these things look easy to use but difficult to use. It seems that anyone can throw them out, but they can only be thrown out. If you want to use them, you can't do it. The real effect is to grasp your own strength and the angle of throwing; so if the deepest part of this river is only about two meters, then you can find a suitable tree by the river, trim it roughly and use it as a pole. At that time, as long as you have strength in your hands and are a little brave, you can push yourself across the river. "

"But this is easier said than done, because it's like bungee jumping. You know that nothing will happen if you jump down, and you have already prepared yourself mentally before going to the diving platform. As a result, when you really take the last step, you will still be scared and unable to move your legs; so I have thought about whether to cut down a tree of suitable size to make a single-plank bridge, and then I found that I couldn't move my legs. After all, such a single-plank bridge is easy to slip, plus the psychological pressure brought to you by the turbulent river under your feet, then your chance of falling is not ordinary! What's more, when the person walking in front of you falls, your already great psychological pressure will be added. ”

“So I think if we really have to walk on a single-plank bridge, then we can save a lot of time, but there will be at least 10% and as many as 30% of the players falling into the river! Although these players may not necessarily quit this event directly, they will also be separated from us. . . We all know that even if people who can swim fall into such a turbulent river, they will most likely die, so if one or two of them can come back to find us, we are already thankful! You know, our team is originally a group of scattered sands gathered together temporarily, or a loose alliance formed around me, so if more than 10% of the players are lost at this time, then this alliance will collapse without a fight. ”

“So I have to make the safest choice now. After all, I have finally gathered so many people. If all my efforts are in vain because of my radical choice, I will have to slap myself when I wake up today and ask myself why I was so stupid to make such a choice! Okay, let's get back to the point. Logically speaking, if I want to make the most conservative choice, I should still take you to that bridge, because this bridge is visible, and even if it is damaged and needs to be repaired, it should be much more convenient. It only takes a few pieces of wood to repair it, unless the whole bridge is gone."

Speaking of this, Liu Xing has already started to grind the stone. "According to my guess, this wooden bridge may have two usage restrictions. The first is that when a player crosses the bridge, a judgment will be passed. If the judgment is successful, the wooden bridge will suffer a certain amount of damage. When the damage accumulates to a certain value, it will be damaged. In other words, we need to treat this bridge as a living thing. In other words, if only the hands and feet are damaged, the bridge can still continue to be used, but the possibility of the person crossing the bridge causing damage will be higher, and it is double damage! In short, the first person to cross the bridge will be fine, and the later person will suffer. As for those who don't have time to cross, don't even think about crossing the bridge."

"As for the second possibility, this bridge has a fixed number of people crossing the bridge, and once the number is reached, the self-destruct mode will be activated. The number should be around 100, because Lao Lu, you said that the number of players who may pass through this bridge is at least 200 to 300, so it is considered a lot for this bridge to have 100 people. After all, the purpose of this bridge and this river is to create a time difference for the players, because we all know that this event will only last for one day, so whoever can reach the destination first will have certain advantages, such as the first player to arrive can choose the weapons and equipment that suits them, and get a good task with less work, more money and safety, such as patrolling in the camp or city. "

"As for the remaining players, when they arrive at the destination, they can only pick and choose from the remaining weapons and equipment, and select some barely usable swords. As for armor, forget it, because this is a rare item. Rare items, so only the first players to arrive can get the armor! As for what the later players can do, they still have to do the tasks left by the previous players, such as being the first to attack the city, or going deep behind enemy lines to cut off the enemy's food supply. In short, these are the kind of tasks that are one-way, so unless you are very confident in yourself, no player will take the initiative to choose these tasks with high rewards but higher risks. "

"So in this event, the time difference is a watershed, because only the players who arrive at the destination first have the right to choose, and the players who arrive at the destination later have no choice, and at the same time they lose a relatively stable reward. They can only comfort themselves with a sentence that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish! Therefore, in addition to the bridge here, players in other directions may encounter cliffs or beasts. Obstacles, if you take a detour, it will take a little more time, and there may be other troubles, but if you face the problem directly, it will also take a lot of time and energy, not to mention that this is not a problem that can be easily solved by a few people, so if you are just a team of players with a few people, you must still take the visible shortcut. "

"But, this shortcut is also first come first served, and later players still have to spend time and effort to rebuild this shortcut. . . But I always feel that this shortcut is actually a trap! What I mean is that if we set the section before the shortcut as the first stage, and the section after the shortcut to the destination as the second stage, then these shortcuts will only allow a small number of players to enter the second stage in advance, and the rest of the players will have to stay in the first stage for more than an hour! This means that the players who enter the second stage in advance will be isolated and helpless, which means that those hunters will have a higher hunting success rate, after all, there are no other players around these players. "

Hearing Liu Xing say this, the player with a boyish look came over and said, "Oh? Isn't this inviting you into a trap? It seems that the Cthulhu game lobby is really inhumane. "

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. Seeing that the player came alone, he knew that he had not found his other half.

"Hey, it seems that you haven't found the player with a girl and a masculine appearance."

Lu Feiyu smiled and said: "I think it's normal that you can't find the player with a girl and a masculine appearance, because you are pretty in a boy and a girl, so it's not a problem to treat your character card as a girl. After all, who doesn't like pretty girls? But for this girl with a masculine appearance, I don't think all girls can accept that they suddenly grow a beard, right? So it's normal that this girl doesn't want to recognize you. ”

Liu Xing on the side also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the boys with female appearance that I have seen in the real world are all pretty good, with a kind of neutral beauty, but the girls with male appearance are not so good, so I think the former can be scored eight points, and the latter is generally only three points; therefore, the player with male appearance of the girl may feel that the sky has fallen after entering this martial arts module, after all, who can accept themselves to become like this? More importantly, our hundreds of players have basically joined the alliance and live in a general range. After that, they will see each other every day, so now let this player with male appearance of the girl stand up, and I don’t know how other players will tease him. ”

Although the players present are not naughty children, the two topics of "girls with male appearance" and "boys with female appearance" are quite interesting, so when chatting with other players, Liu Xing feels that he can't help but talk about this, because this kind of thing is indeed not common.

Besides, these two players with different appearances have a very powerful combination skill, which forced Liu Xing to talk to Yin En and others about the possibilities of this combination skill and how to use it to maximize the benefits.

"Alas, I think so too."

The player sighed helplessly and shook his head and said, "Alliance leader, it seems that I can only rely on you! Anyway, everyone knows that I am a boy with a female appearance, so I have nothing to hide, so I really want to find the player who is completely opposite to me, because as long as I have her, I can get more rewards in this martial arts module; you know, I will soon participate in the promotion module of the Hound of Tindalos area, so I want to rely on this martial arts module to get more useful props to ensure that I can be promoted to the Hound of Tindalos area. After all, several of my friends are already waiting for me in the Hound of Tindalos area."

So that's it.

At this time, Liu Xing finally understood why this player stood up to admit his specialness. It turned out that his friends had become players in the Hound of Tindalos area before him.

It seems that this player is not participating in the promotion module of the Hounds of Tindalos area for the first time, because his teammates have successfully passed the last promotion module, and they left him alone for some reason. However, this is also a common situation in the Cthulhu game lobby. After all, the promotion module of the Hounds of Tindalos area is quite difficult, and it is normal to have card tearing. Therefore, there will often be a famous scene where a player team is promoted to the Hounds of Tindalos area except for one person, and the player who falls behind will be abandoned by his teammates in most cases, because they are already people from two different worlds.

After all, when players are promoted to the Hounds of Tindalos area, the modules they participate in are 100% coherent, that is, the plots of different modules can be connected through a certain node, such as a certain NPC or a certain important prop, so these players are getting farther and farther away in the eyes of their teammates who have fallen behind.

When the lagging player is lucky enough to advance to the Hounds of Tindalos area, if he is pulled back to the original player team, he will feel at a loss because everything around him has changed.
