Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Movie and TV props?"

Lu Feiyu, who was standing by, seemed to have thought of something, so he picked up a set of armor and studied it. After a while, he pointed at the lining and said, "This is really a movie and TV prop, because there is an embroidered seal left by a rental company, so if nothing goes wrong, these armors and weapons should all belong to this prop rental company, but the weapons should not have been sharpened at the beginning, and the sharp edges were polished later, so I said that the quality of these weapons is too uneven, and some steel knives are only sharpened by half of the blade."

Really a movie and TV prop?

Liu Xing touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, because he had analyzed it fiercely before, and thought he had seen through the origins of the Emperor of Update and others, but the appearance of these movie and TV props made his analysis instantly untenable.

You should know that the Cthulhu running group game lobby is still very rigorous in many cases, especially when preparing corresponding props for each module, but it will not prepare some similar props casually like some crews, such as the so-called ceramic bowls and plates in the ten-yuan store next door for the costume drama.

So since the Cthulhu running group game lobby has arranged so many weapons and armor as film and television props here, instead of real weapons and armor, it means that the Cthulhu running group game lobby intends to use this to convey certain information to the players, and let the players who can realize this gain certain advantages.

For example, before this, Liu Xing thought that although the Emperor of Update and others were a bit of a fox pretending to be powerful, they were still "actors" with some ability, but now it seems that they may really be real actors.

So Liu Xing previously speculated that the reason why the national teacher around the Emperor of Update knew so much information that did not exist in the martial arts module was because his identity might be a traverser, or a poor guy who strayed into the dreamland, but he didn't expect that he might be the same person as the Emperor of Update.

One person knows and a group of people know, that's two completely different concepts!

For example, if Yunsheng knew all this at this time, he might be able to see the difference between his group and others. After all, although these players have been in the martial arts module for several months, they have been influenced by it and have changed some of their daily behaviors, but they still retain their habits in the real world.

It is no wonder that this event is scheduled at this time, because if the event is opened a few days in advance, players will be too easy to be seen through by these NPCs, and now they will only reveal their true identities in the details.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing carefully recalled his previous conversation with Yunsheng and confirmed that he should not show anything wrong, so Yunsheng should not realize that he and he are from the same place, right?

"The Emperor of Update and those governors and lieutenants, are they not from other places like us?"

Long San said with some entanglement: "If that's the case, then will they think we are colleagues who are here to steal business? After all, if you are a successful time traveler, and you look back and find that there are suddenly a few people who are suspected to be time travelers around you, and they are eager to do something to improve their status, then would you think that these people want to replace you? More importantly, you will doubt whether these people will find an opportunity to drag you down, because when these people realize that you are also a time traveler, and have achieved great success in this world through some information that time travelers know, they will be more or less jealous."

"It's like you and someone you know have the same academic qualifications and similar family conditions. As a result, you find out many years later that this person has become very successful, and you are still just an ordinary person, then you will be more or less jealous, but as long as you have a normal mentality, you will still be I think that other people are just lucky, and they may have achieved their current achievements by chance; but if you later find out that this person actually achieved such achievements by relying on information asymmetry and fraud, then while you despise this person, you will inevitably have such an idea - since he can do it, can I do it? "

"Isn't this the sentence - can I replace him?"

Liu Xing frowned and said: "But I have seen such plots in some difficult-to-say movies and TV series. Of course, a very famous character - Master Jia Qian said this in addition to his famous line, that is, I can eat your secrets for life! So if the protagonist in that movie had not been defeated by Master Jia Qian, he might have crushed this blood-sucking worm to death long ago. Therefore, if I were the Emperor of Renewal, I would be worried that these traversers would affect my status in this area, or stay by my side and suck blood continuously! "

"In this way, isn't the chain of suspicion formed?"

Long San sighed and said: "In most cases, as long as a chain of suspicion is formed, it means that everyone in the chain does not believe each other, and as the chain of suspicion takes longer and longer to form, your confidence in Other people's worries will become more and more serious, so if you have the ability, you can't help but want to solve this threat! And after the first person chooses to take action, everyone in the chain of suspicion will do their best! Get rid of other people, because this is the only way to save your own life, so if I were the Emperor of Renewal, I would also find a way to get rid of other time travelers, which should also include the governors of various cities. "

Hearing what Long San said, Liu Xing couldn't help but suspect that the reason why the distribution of these cities was so strange might be because these time travelers had already had conflicts before entering the dreamland, and they had become less trusting of each other. Well, if they didn't have a common goal, or a project of huge value that needed to be completed, they might have started already.

After entering the dreamland, these people immediately began to divide their luggage like Zhu Bajie who wanted to return to Gao Laozhuang. Of course, it can also be said that they divided the NPCs they brought into the dreamland. After all, these NPCs can not only give They create wealth and can also provide all kinds of rare emotional value.

So when they were building cities, they decided the location of each city based on the closeness of their relationship. For example, several people with good relationships placed their cities in the same area, which can be regarded as forming an offensive and defensive alliance.

As for why the "city wall" was added to Emperor Xinxin's palace, Liu Xing guessed that Emperor Xinxin also knew that there was already a conflict between himself and other time-travelers at this time, and he might be killed by those time-travelers looking for opportunities, so this gentleman If you don’t stand under dangerous walls, you still have to have the city walls that you should have.

The Emperor of Renewal is still here for a day, and for the governors of some cities, it is hard to sleep or eat well, or there is no room for further progress.

"Well, actually I have a question I want to talk about now."

Jinnio said at this time: "I suddenly thought of a question, that is, leader, didn't you mention those tokens with Greek letters before? Logically speaking, if the New Emperor and others are all time travellers, , then how do they know these tokens?”

Before Liu Xing could speak, Long San replied directly: "Isn't that simple? Maybe these time travelers came into contact with several NPCs who had such tokens when they first arrived in the martial arts module, and then learned about this The story behind the token... Well, you don’t really need to know anything. You just need to know what the token represents. For example, the person holding this token is related to the former prince! The author should also know some common Greek letters, such as Alpha Omega and so on, so it is not difficult for them to reproduce such a token. "

That’s right.

For travelers, these may be tokens with mysterious symbols in the eyes of NPCs, but in their hands there is only one token engraved with Greek letters, so it is not difficult for them to introduce other similar tokens! What's more, these tokens are just props for imitation to them, so as long as they have this mysterious symbol to fool the NPC, they don't need to care so much about other details.

But at this time, Liu Xing began to suspect that there was also a time traveler beside the former prince, and the token with Greek letters was the suggestion provided by this time traveler, because these Greek letters did not exist this time. In the martial arts module, it is perfect to use as a password, especially as an identification signal for some people with special tasks.

"In short, we first inform other players to pay attention to their words and deeds. It is best not to do something too strange when outsiders are present. Well, I am talking about strange operations in the eyes of those NPCs. For example, we often use International gestures, in short, these NPCs cannot see any obvious abnormalities! According to my understanding of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, if these NPCs find anything strange, they will most likely treat us as enemies. They will raise weapons against us, even if we are unarmed.”

Liu Xing said with some worry: "This event looks like a large-scale player-versus-player PVP, but now it seems that it may turn into PVE. As long as those NPCs who are time travelers realize that these new people will It may be that they are from their hometown, then they may want to maintain their status and prevent these fellow villagers from taking away their position; if this is the case, then we have to guard against the backstabbing of these NPCs, because if we If you don’t have any precautions, I’m afraid you really don’t know how to write the word “death”.

The longer Liu Xing stays in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the more he understands why the "backstab" in many games has at least a 1.5 times damage bonus, because the damage of a backstab to a person Not only does it affect you physically, it also takes a huge toll on your spirit.

Especially if the relationship between the person who backstabs you and you is better, the damage multiplier will be higher.

Hearing Liu Xing's instructions, Long San and others nodded, and then went to find someone to talk about the matter.

As for Liu Xing, after thinking for a while, he put on a suit of armor. After all, if he didn't wear this suit of armor at this time, it would be a bit unreasonable in the eyes of Yunqi and others, because these armors are also a talisman on the battlefield, so those who don't wear armor are either skilled and brave, or they are not afraid of death.

Obviously, Liu Xing doesn't look like these two types of people, so he still has to put on this suit of armor honestly.

To be honest, when he put on this suit of armor, Liu Xing felt in a trance that he could go to a movie studio to play a minor role. Of course, before that, he had to remove the iron pieces, because these iron pieces affected the appearance of this suit of armor.

As for weapons, Liu Xing chose a steel fork for safety, because although Liu Xing had learned how to use a knife during this period, he could only put on a show. If he really wanted to fight, he would be in a mess after two moves. Moreover, on the battlefield, the longer the better, the stronger the opponent. So it would be safer to use a steel fork.

Moreover, weapons like steel forks do not have much threshold for getting started, especially on a battlefield with a large crowd of people, where there is not much space for you to perform moves like turning the tide.

Just play the stick-poking flow honestly. If you have the opportunity, you can perform a few stick-splitting moves. As for standing sticks, forget about it, because the saying "the first bird to stick out gets shot" is also very practical at this time.

However, at this time, Liu Xing felt a little strange, because weapons like steel forks rarely appear on the battlefield. In short, steel forks are not as practical as long spears and halberds, which are also long weapons, so some generals will use steel forks as their weapons to control enemy generals in single combat.

Of course, if it is a water battle, the steel fork is still very useful, so the heads of the water forts such as Ruan Xiaoer in "Water Margin" will use steel forks, or harpoons.

So when these time travelers leave their original world, are they preparing to shoot a costume drama about water battles? Or are they simply planning to remake a martial arts movie that is not very classic, and Liu Xing has even forgotten the name of the movie. The sect established by the villain in this movie is only allowed to use steel forks.

As for steel knives, they are quite common in martial arts movies and TV series. Almost everyone who plays a minor role has one, especially when paired with those armors, that is the classic soldier A, B, C, and D in martial arts movies and TV series.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing can imagine what his image is now. In some costume movies and TV series, he can stand behind the protagonist as a background board.

But at this time, Liu Xing feels that he is the protagonist.
