Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Leader, those players who have fallen into temporary madness have been tied up by us. There is no need to worry about any accidents happening to them, because I have also arranged for a few players in better condition to keep an eye on them."

At this moment, Zhang Jingxu, who looked tired, came over and said: "Before this, I never thought about what it would be like when so many players gathered together to judge the sanity value. Now I can only think of one word. ——The demons are dancing! But it’s quite normal when you think about it. After all, the base of these players is really too large. There are usually only more than 20 players in one module, and they all work separately, and they basically don’t get together. , so even if everyone has bad luck, only less than two digits of players will fall into a temporary state of madness.”

"In addition, some temporary crazy states will not be so obvious, so it seems that there is no big problem. As a result, more than a thousand players gathered together this time, and more than a hundred people fell directly, and the remaining They were still dizzy and couldn't walk. I couldn't imagine what other players would be like now, especially those who were fighting. Fortunately, we solved them quickly. Scarecrow, otherwise we might be harvested by this group of scarecrows, which would be a bit embarrassing. "

Just as Liu Xing wanted to say something, he suddenly realized a problem, that is, he had sent out Baihe City before the roar appeared, and he and the few players who went to search for the Scarecrow King with him were at this time It seems that he didn't come back with him.

After all, more than five minutes had passed between the departure from Baihe City and the appearance of the roar, so Baihe City was considered far away at that time, and my group chose to retreat when they saw that the situation was not good. Because a player who falls into temporary madness needs at least two players who are in good condition to take care of them. As for players who are just one step away from temporary madness, they also need one player to support them, otherwise These players couldn't even walk a few steps before falling to the ground.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Liu Xing and others to find the village. Not to mention chickens, ducks and geese, there was not even a single person in this village. But the problem was that the village looked like " "New" feeling, like it was just built a few days ago.

"This village still looks a bit too new, and all the buildings in this village seem to have been renovated at the same time. Unlike those villages in the real world, you can clearly tell that the houses are older. Those houses were built recently! Of course, if residents in a certain place decide to build a new house together to save money, they can get discounts on purchasing materials and labor, or go to a certain person or organization to renovate together! , so there are these houses that look almost new.”

As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Yang De came over and said, "I don't think we need to think so much. The reason why the houses in this village are so similar is probably because this village was directly imagined by the dreamer. , and it’s not an important place, so the dream maker never thought about making this village look more layered! This is like many buildings in games, as long as they are background panels that have little interaction with the player, It’s basically just a few templates copied and pasted, so there’s not much to say about it.”

Is this really the case?

Liu Xing still remembers mentioning in the forum the Cthulhu Run Game Hall in the early stages of public beta. Many of the buildings in the module were so old and new that it seemed that the whole module had a different kind of unreality, so After a certain update, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall deliberately added some traces of time to these buildings, making today's Cthulhu Running Game Hall more realistic.

So since this event is part of the martial arts module, it means that this grid array was also created by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall many years ago, so it is normal for some minor problems to occur.

If that's the case, then I'm just scaring myself.

Liu Xing shook his head. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Long San, who had entered a temporary state of madness, walking over.

Although Long San fell into a temporary crazy state, his situation was actually not bad, because he was still very lucky. The temporary crazy state that randomly appeared was two words - he was afraid of light, so he wore one on his head. After wearing the gauze hat, Long San returned to normal.

"Leader, I have taken people around the village and found that there is no one here, and there are no poultry or livestock. However, there are all the pots, pans, pans and furniture in the house, so we can wait a moment It’s time to have a hot bite.”

Although there were no vegetables in the dry food Liu Xing and others received, after all, the NPCs in this event had not yet invented any freeze-drying technology, so it was naturally impossible to prepare vegetables for dry food for the players.

However, there are still many players who have deliberately collected wild vegetables and fruits along the way when they were on the road, and of course there are also similar hallucination mushroom kings, so together with the meat obtained from certain monsters, they can also You can really make several dishes.

"It's almost time. There are still many players who have not returned to normal, so let's sit down and eat and drink first, and then make plans."

Liu Xing looked back at Zhang Jingxu and said seriously: "But then again, Lao Bai was arranged by me to search for the possible Scarecrow King, but he encountered this kind of thing not long after we left, so he and other players are now He probably hasn’t come back yet! All in all, let’s arrange for a few players to take a few more steps outside so that Lao Bai can’t find us.”

Zhang Jingxu raised his brows, and then realized that Baihe City, who originally liked to have a sense of presence, had indeed lost his voice at this time.

"Is Lao Bai lost? I don't think we need to do anything specifically, because if Lao Bai and the others encounter something, then we don't need to look for them anymore. As for Lao Bai and the others, if they are okay, I also think that we There is no need to do anything. After all, although Lao Bai is a little, well, a little overly active, he is still quite smart. He should be able to find this village from the traces we left. You must know that there are more than a thousand of us. People were in a hurry when they left. There were even dragging marks, not to mention footprints.”

Zhang Jingxu's words made Long San on the side also nodded, because when his group was retreating, the players who had fallen into temporary madness were not very cooperative, so they could only drag these people away, of course. Even if these players are being dragged away, their legs are still kicking around.

So under normal circumstances, as long as Baihecheng and others returned successfully, they should be able to find the village based on those traces.

As for Baihe City and others, if things don't go well, then even if Liu Xing sends everyone to find them at this time, the final result will be in vain, because this is a dreamland, and if the players die, they will It quickly disappeared, leaving no trace of its existence.

"That's right. Then we'll arrange for some people to be on lookout near the village. Be careful if there are scarecrows or other enemies coming to cause trouble for us."

Liu Xing sighed and continued: "But then again, haven't we met some farmers before? I thought this village was the home of those farmers, but it turned out that those farmers seemed to be unable to leave their fields. In other words, there is no process for them to go home at all; but there is a saying that if they don't come over, we can also walk over on our own initiative, so I want to arrange for a few people to bring a few small black stones of scarecrows to look for these. Farmers, let’s see if they respond, like giving us some rewards?”

"Heroes think alike!"

At this time, Jinio came over with a bandage on his hand. Because in order to protect the players around him when he was dealing with the scarecrows before, he directly reached out and grabbed the sickle raised by the scarecrow in front of him, so he had an extra one in his hand. Wounds deep enough to show bone.

As for why this player was almost sent away by a scarecrow, it was not because these scarecrows were too weak, so the player holding the steel fork was a little distracted. After all, what he needed to do was to keep going back and forth. It was simply It was more boring than some assembly lines, so I naturally became distracted.

As we all know, all kinds of accidents that occur on the assembly line can most likely be summed up by the word "distracted", and the price of such distractedness can range from missing something, to directly losing one's life.

Therefore, if this player hadn't had Jin Neo's help, he might have left the event early.

Therefore, at this time, Jin Neo can be regarded as gaining a little follower, and he can live a life at the same level as Liu Xing in advance.

"Then I will take people to find those farmers now. If nothing else happens, we should be able to get some benefits, because whether it is the Cthulhu Run Game Hall or other games, you can get some benefits from NPCs at this time. , after all, these scarecrows are not like the kind of monsters that can be solved at once, so the reward for this task should also be multi-stage. Every time we complete a stage, we can get the corresponding reward, and even get the corresponding reputation, and use it later Redeem a reward.”

When Jin Neo mentioned the word "exchange", Liu Xing suddenly remembered something, that is, he got a mammoth tusk in the wasteland grid, and this mammoth tusk can be used in the wasteland grid. This time, other props were exchanged in the grid array, so Liu Xing was thinking about one thing now, that is, whether these farmers would be NPCs who could exchange props.

Although the mammoth tusk looks pretty good, it is a useless decoration before it is redeemed. Therefore, Liu Xing feels that the mammoth tusk must be sold as soon as possible, otherwise it may fall into his hands.

So Liu Xing asked Jin Neo to go to the farmers and try to ask them if they were willing to do business with him and his group, and if possible, sell the mammoth ivory to them.

After Jin Neo left, Liu Xing, who had nothing to do, wandered around the village, because the village looked familiar, but Liu Xing couldn't remember where it was for a while.

Is it because the architectural style of these houses is somewhat similar to that of Liu Xing’s hometown?

Liu Xing was thinking about it as he wandered around the village. At this time, the aroma of cooking food was already wafting from every kitchen. It seemed that there were many good cooks among the players.

Unfortunately, except for these chefs, other players basically stayed outdoors, because there were still many players who needed to be taken care of, so they were worried that after being put into the house, these players would take advantage of other players' inattention to do something that would make people regret it. After all, there were many things in the house that could be used, such as the kitchen knife in the kitchen and the hoe in the living room.

In short, in order to ensure that these players would not suddenly do something bad to themselves, they still had to be kept outdoors.

In addition, Liu Xing was also worried that the scarecrows would come to attack. After all, as long as there was an existence with an intelligence level similar to his own among these scarecrows, he should be able to see that his retreat was not to lure the enemy deeper, so now it is very likely to choose to pursue the victory.

Therefore, if many players entered the house, it meant that more than a thousand players were dispersed, and they could only fight on their own when facing an attack. At that time, although they could use the house to attack the house, as long as the auxiliary door was stable, but if they were caught off guard, then they would become a turtle in a jar.

So at this time, although there are still some sounds of cooking coming out of these houses in front of Liu Xing, some of them are too monotonous and cannot give people a sense of home.

This is a bit mysterious, but in fact, there is no sound of people talking.

This is like the classic plot in some movies, that is, the protagonist group enters a small village with many people living after dark, and finds that there is no movement in the village, let alone lights, and no one even stands out to snore.

You know, even if you walk around a dormitory, you can basically hear snoring or grinding teeth, or even talking in sleep, in short, it is impossible to be so quiet.

So on such a quiet street, the protagonist suddenly turned around and saw a pair of eyes. . . Is this thing Cthulhu?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing subconsciously turned around and saw a huge green octopus appearing on the horizon!

No, this doesn’t seem to be Cthulhu!

Although this huge green octopus looks like Cthulhu at first glance, Liu Xing found that it is still fundamentally different from Cthulhu after a closer look.

Star family?
