Real Cthulhu Running Game

   "However, this businessman is usually quite secretive, so the NPCs also have questions about his family members who suddenly appeared, but they have not thought that he may be a private salt dealer."

Liu Xing touched his chin and said seriously: "The salt and iron franchise has been around since ancient times. After all, iron can be used as farm tools and kitchenware, and it can also be turned into a weapon, and salt is said to be less in the real world. Eat, but if you really eat less, you will have an accident. The bottom line is dizziness and weakness in the limbs. It is a bit like the symptoms of a severe cold, because a severe cold is often accompanied by a lot of sweating, and sweat is not enough. It takes away the salt in your body, or professionally speaking, it is a word for sodium, and this is the reason why you need to hang salt water when you have a bad cold; so although the ancients may not know what sodium is, they know that if people do not eat Salt can cause big problems, so salt has become a strategic commodity like iron.”

"And salt was also a very important seasoning in ancient times. After all, there was no monosodium glutamate chicken essence at that time, and peppers and other things were still on the other side of the sea, so the interest rate of salt was still very high at this time, so ancient times At that time, the salt merchants highlighted that one earns more! Therefore, the salt gang can develop. It must be known that the eight major cuisines in China today all originated from economically developed areas, and only began to ponder because of money. What is delicious, how to make it delicious; uh, a bit off topic, in short, this private salt dealer answered that sentence - people die for wealth, birds die for food! But if there are such high profits, they will not would risk their lives for this kind of business."

Liu Xing got up and walked to a screen next to him, looked at it carefully, then touched it again, and said with certainty: "The cloth on this screen has been soaked in salt water, because there are still some small pieces hanging on it. The salt crystals! So this merchant's way of transporting private salt includes absorbing the salt water with items such as cloth, and after passing the customs, soak the salt-soaked things in water and wash them again, and then boil the water to dry. As for the various furniture on the second floor, I suspect that they are all hollow, that is, these private salts are transported in the name of transporting furniture, and these transformed furniture must not be seen by outsiders, so will be moved into this two-story building."

  Yin En heard what Liu Xing said, and immediately got up to check the furniture that might be remodeled. It turned out that some cabinets had interlayers, and some were directly dug into hollows!

"If nothing else, the reason why these vases have various defects may be that they are used to make salt jars, so that the businessman can justifiably say that these vases have obvious defects, so he can't put these residuals. The defective product was sold to the customer, but he was reluctant to smash it like this, so he could only take it home and display it for himself."

Liu Xing picked up a vase, groped for a moment with his hand, and then took out a crystal block and said: "As expected, there are some salt blocks formed after getting wet! This businessman is really clever. ."

Yin En nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that the defects on these bottles are so obvious that they can be seen by others from a distance. The main purpose is to keep outsiders from watching, and even It's straight-forward; I have an uncle who likes to collect all kinds of china, so if he sees a good vase, he will definitely be eager to play with it, but something like this one can see defects at a glance, then he 100% won't take a second look!"

At this moment, an electronic synthetic voice suddenly sounded in Liu Xing's ear, "Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden mission - Private Salt (Boyang City)! Because it is detected that the player has activated the alliance achievement, the player can Convert this mission into an alliance mission within the

   Liu Xing raised his brows and immediately checked the hidden task that was just triggered.

   The mission goal is very simple, that is to find a private salt warehouse hidden near Boyang City. This private salt warehouse may be in Boyang City, or it may be hidden anywhere within ten kilometers of Boyang City! Therefore, Liu Xing knows that this must not be blindly searched. One is that it is easy to scare the snake, and the other is that the scope is a bit large, and it is absolutely unreliable to conduct a carpet search.

   So there are three character profiles in the mission prompt.

  Liu Dazui, code-named businessman, is responsible for contacting buyers and conducting transactions in Boyang City, and has returned to his hometown to hide for some reason.

  He Lame, codenamed the boatman, was responsible for transporting the private salt to Boyang City. After Liu Er left, he was temporarily responsible for taking over the people who stayed in Boyang City.

  Wang Quexin, the code name is unknown, and the specific project in charge is unknown.

   If Liu Xing and others can catch one of these three people, they can also get different extra rewards, and if they can catch all three of them in one go, they will get hidden rewards and trigger another hidden mission.

   As for Liu Xing, if he chooses to convert this hidden quest into an alliance quest, he will gain a lot of alliance prestige on top of the original reward, as well as the personal favorability of Boyang City's lord/prefect.

"It seems that our guess is correct. Now the sudden death of the old city owner is really likely to change Boyang City, so this hidden task has not determined whether this Boyang City will continue to be managed by the city owner in the future, or let a prefect take responsibility."

Yin En frowned and said, "But it's not the businessman's idea to transport the private salt to Boyang City, that is, Liu Dazui alone! Instead, there is an organization that transports the private salt to various places on a large scale. The next task won't be put in brackets; it's interesting that the three people in charge of Boyang City all have a certain part of a person in their name - mouth, legs and heart, and this is also in line with their job status. , because Liu Dazui uses his mouth to do business, and He Laizi uses his legs to run and transport, so the last Wang Quexin should be the direct boss of Liu Dazui and He Laizi, but why is he lacking in heart? If he really lacks heart, he can't be the person in charge, right?"

Liu Xing shrugged and began to use his professional expertise, "Some people are indeed born with a lack of heart, for example, the space between the ventricle and the atrium may be missing a piece, or it may not be completely closed, which is the so-called myocardial defect. However, under normal circumstances, this does not affect the normal life of the patient, and with the development of the human body, it may automatically complete the closure; of course, there is now an artificial heart that can replace the role of the normal heart, but it may still be There are various problems, such as rejection reactions, aging damage and the like.”

"Although we are in a martial arts mod, don't forget that this martial arts mod comes from the Cthulhu Running Group game hall! So I suspect that this Wang Quexin may have replaced some kind of heart in some way. , because we also know that there are hundreds of scholars who do biological research, and their current technology can be directly taken back to the real world to make movies. For example, the monsters we see may be made by them; so we have reason It is suspected that this organization may have been established by a certain hundred schools of thought who were driven out of the year to earn research funds!"

Liu Xing sat down again and continued: "If I remember correctly, the hundreds of schools of thought that specialized in biological research were basically driven overseas. After all, the research they did was really shocking to ordinary people. Too big, it is normal to be regarded as a demon heresy, so the Xinlong Empire must not tolerate them; and according to the settings given by the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, the Xinlong Empire has found many large buildings in the nearby sea area. Island, and there have been tribes and city-states on the island, but a kingdom has not yet appeared, so the New Dragon Empire has no interest in these islands, and let these tribes and city-states fend for themselves."

"So I suspected at the time that those who had escaped might control a tribal city-state on an island, and then hid in it and continued to do research, and strictly controlled the development of this tribe or city-state to ensure these Tribes and city-states can provide themselves with the resources needed for various researches, but they are not strong enough to attract the attention of the New Dragon Empire; from an evolutionary point of view, the ecological environment on the islands is actually very single, because in the They were unable to communicate with the outside world for a long time, so that the various marsupials in the real world could continue to reproduce on the islands, and not like their relatives on land, they would withdraw from the stage of history early."

   "Well, I also agree with you, Liu Xing."

Yin En nodded and said, "The old rulers of this world, that is, special beings like Wenquxing and Grey Rat King, should be more or less related to those who were driven away, so we These members of the hundreds of schools of thought can be defined as a special kind of mad believers! Therefore, this Wang Quexin may be a reformer, and only he can communicate with the mad believers hidden in the dark; as for Liu Dazui and He The lame are two pure tool people, and if you find them, you can only determine the location of the private salt warehouse, and only when you find Wang Quexin can you follow the clues."

  Because the alliance has not been formally established, Liu Xing has not been able to convert this hidden mission into an alliance mission for the time being, but this does not affect Liu Xing telling Meng Fugui and Zheng Fei about this.

"Is there such a thing? I thought that businessman was just an ordinary private salt dealer, but I didn't expect him to have a relationship with those hundreds of schools, but it's no wonder he dared to stay in the city. After so long, it turned out to be fearless."

Meng Fugui recalled for a moment, nodded and continued: "The businessman who signed the contract with me today is indeed a bit of a mouthful, and his surname is indeed Liu. At the same time, he also planted a lot of willow trees in this yard. Please, I'll help him take care of these willows; as to where his home is, I don't know very well, because I didn't expect it to happen at the time, but I can ask someone tomorrow to ask. Knowing that in addition to buying this yard, we also sold his shop, so his old neighbors should know what to do, and they will try to collect as much information as possible when the time comes."

As soon as Meng Fugui finished speaking, Zheng Fei also continued: "This Boyang City is also some distance from the nearest river, so the nearby ports will have special fleets to assist in transporting goods, so this lame He may be a real boatman, and there are also It may be selling dog meat on a sheep's head, but it's actually a coachman! In short, I will also arrange for my brothers to go to the nearby port to check the situation, and try to determine the general condition of the lame man before we return. "

   rolled up.

Liu Xing knew that Meng Fugui and Zheng Fei were secretly fighting, because they also knew that the leader of the alliance must be themselves, so the position of the deputy leader must be fought, and this must also show some real skills and merit.

However, Liu Xing was also happy to see it succeed, so he nodded and said, "Then I ask you two to spend more time on this matter, because the focus of this hidden mission is to find Wang Quexin! Only by finding him can we be able to Trigger the next stage of the mission, and then our alliance can get more benefits!"

   Meng Fugui and Zheng Fei both nodded, then got up and said goodbye at the same time, and went back to find their teammates to arrange tasks.

   "This is the end of the matter, we can also go back to sleep, because tomorrow morning we have to go back to Shan County."

Yin En stretched and asked curiously, "So do we really have to go back to sleep in the second-floor building? Although there doesn't seem to be anything strange there, because we didn't go overboard when we talked in it, but I I always feel uncomfortable there.”

Just as Liu Xing was about to nod his head, he suddenly frowned, "Wait, if Liu Dazui just wanted to hide all the furniture and china from outsiders, then there's no need to build such a two-story building, right? He? Just take it home and deal with it and then bury it; and why did he put all the furniture and decorations in the second-story building so weird? He said to outsiders that it was his daughter's boudoir, so he wasn't afraid Does it feel wrong for outsiders to see what's inside? Anyway, if I were an ordinary person, I would definitely feel something wrong after seeing the situation in this room! What's more, there are problems with the furniture itself. Once you turn it over, you can see the strangeness of these furniture!"

   "You mean, everything in that two-story building is intentional?" Yin En also frowned.

"Yes, it is reasonable to say that like those screens that have been soaked in salt water, it is not difficult to clean if you want to clean them, and it is also easy to clean those bottles and jars that have been filled with salt, but Liu Dazui Didn't do it!" Liu Xing said seriously.
