Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1950 Witness

  Liu Xing remembers that in his hometown, there was a family raising pigeons, and every day they flew a large flock of humming scum, which looked quite spectacular to Liu Xing who was still young at that time.

However, Liu Xing also heard that these pigeons would go out to fly every day. As a result, when the number was counted at the end of the month, one or two pigeons would be missing. You must know that there are no raptors near Liu Xing's hometown, and these pigeons are generally Hovering near the pigeon coop, so these disappearing pigeons can only be considered as lost, or accidentally bumped into a wall while flying around, and then fell to a certain grass. Star's hometown is still very natural in terms of greening.

Therefore, the pigeons in the martial arts module are generally sold in units of "cages". Each cage contains ten pigeons, and eight of them are professionally trained pigeons that rely on terrain to avoid raptors. and the remaining two are fully armed guard pigeons, their claws have been replaced with fine iron, a light anti-armor is worn on the body, a unicorn is added to the head, and the guard pigeon They have also been cultivated and trained by beast taming sects such as Hundred Beasts. Not only are they larger than ordinary pigeons, but their combat effectiveness has also increased exponentially, because they have learned how to use their own weapons.

Therefore, when facing some small and medium-sized raptors, the **** pigeons that accompany them can basically drive them away effectively, and even complete a single kill. Therefore, this cage of professionally trained pigeons is not cheap, and you can buy them if you want to. Have to queue.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, the team responsible for buying the pigeons also bought a cage of ordinary pigeons. Under normal circumstances, these pigeons are not much different from those professionally trained pigeons, but when the latter starts to speed up, the former It will start to appear powerless, and in terms of flexibility, the former will be widened by the latter. . . So this cage of ordinary carrier pigeons is simply a decoy bomb. Those professional carrier pigeons will start to speed up when they encounter an inevitable threat, and while getting rid of the raptors, they will also leave those ordinary carrier pigeons behind.

Just like the classic joke, you don’t need to run too fast when you meet a beast, as long as you can run faster than your companions, because 99.9% of the beasts can’t give up the big meal in front of them A, and continue to chase the faster big meal B in front.

  Looking at the pigeons going away, Liu Xing couldn't help sighing: "It's amazing that the pigeons can find their way automatically. I remember it has something to do with the magnetic field?"

The player who was in charge of taking care of the pigeons smiled, shook his head and said, "Master, is this the old almanac from that year? Some scientists conducted experiments a few years ago and gave the part of the pigeon that feels the magnetic field to Karma. The result is Those pigeons can still recognize the way, even if it is a new route; so scientists now believe that the memory of the pigeon may be very good, can remember some iconic places, and even remember some special smells. In short, the magnetic field may help to recognize the way , but it should not be the main reason why pigeons recognize their way.”

   Liu Xing frowned, he didn't expect such a thing.

   "Actually, it's normal for you, leader, to not know these things, because I also like to raise pigeons in the real world, and I learned this cold knowledge."

The player looked at the professional pigeons in the cage, his eyes full of longing, "To be honest, if I have enough achievement points in the future, I should exchange a few pigeons to bring back to the real world, because these are professionally trained The carrier pigeons are so spiritual, and they can definitely dominate the carrier pigeon competitions around the world when brought back; therefore, animal taming sects like Baishoumen are the real treasure sects, because animal taming is not only in the real world, even in many The effects can be exerted in the module, let some small animals do things for you, and sometimes it may have a miraculous effect."

  Liu Xing nodded, and also felt that these professionally trained homing pigeons have indeed been improved in all aspects, so it is also a good choice for players to join the sect that can tame animals, especially those players who are afraid of pain.

  For example, Liu Xing himself is quite afraid of pain, so when he was learning acupuncture, he didn't dare to **** himself. Every time he plucked up his courage and just pricked his skin, he couldn't help pulling out the needle.

   One thing to say, acupuncture is actually not too painful, at least not as painful as Liu Xing's big toe is now.

I don't know why, Liu Xing only felt that his big toe would have a tingling pain every few minutes, but the tingling still came and went quickly, Liu Xing just took a breath and it disappeared .

   This is quite uncomfortable, but there is nothing to do, because Liu Xing checked it carefully and found nothing unusual.

  Liu Xing shook his head, and when he was about to leave, he saw a casserole cooking not far away, and it smelled like pigeon soup.

As for why Liu Xing knew it was pigeon soup as soon as he smelled it, the main reason was that when Liu Xing was an intern in the hospital, many family members would bring pigeon soup to visit patients, and many restaurants near the hospital would sell pigeon soup, so Liu Xing was very concerned about it. This taste can be said to be fresh in my memory.

Seeing Liu Xing's puzzled expression, the player said with a smile: "The weather is a bit hot, so a pigeon suffered serious heat stroke when it was transported over. I treated it for two days but still couldn't bring it back to life. So now I can only turn it into a casserole soup to take care of me, so the leader, would you like to sit by my side for a while, drink some soup and go back? I see that your feet are wrapped in gauze, it looks like you should I kicked all the toenails off, so I took a sip of pigeon soup to mend it, maybe new nails will grow tomorrow?"

Liu Xing shook his head, and said: "I came here in a hurry because I needed to reply to the letter, so I still have some things to deal with, so I won't stay here for a long time, but you don't want to do it just because of this soup. And let more pigeons suffer from heat stroke, because this is not a bamboo rat!"

   After leaving the carrier pigeon, Liu Xing returned to his room again and picked up the note.

  Just over ten minutes ago, a carrier pigeon flew into Liu Xing's room, and the information it brought came from Zhang Jingxu.

To make a long story short, Zhang Jingxu only mentioned that the mysterious organization may have re-entered Boyang City after changing his identity, and had already contacted one of his uncles, so Zhang Jingxu wanted to ask Liu Xing what he thought, so that he would be fine Take a chicken feather as an arrow.

   After all, in today’s Boyang City, Zhang Jingxu is not the main person in charge of the alliance, or in other words, all the players who have joined the sect cannot be the person in charge. After all, they spend most of their time in the sect learning martial arts.

  So Zhang Jingxu wants to do things by himself now, so he can only ask Liu Xing to give him a secret order.

  So Liu Xing gave Zhang Jingxu a reply letter that he could "do things cheaply".

However, Liu Xing is still very worried about Zhang Jingxu's safety, because Liu Xing also has a certain understanding of Zhang Jingxu's uncle when he was boarding in Zhang's house, so if Zhang Jingxu is not careful, or if he is unlucky and fails to pass the judgment, then Zhang Jingxu may About to leave the mod early.

  But Liu Xing also believes that Zhang Jingxu has his own sense of propriety, because Zhang Jingxu is not the kind of person who likes to take risks, so he is unlikely to put himself in danger.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing saw a familiar figure passing by his door.

  Yoon Eun is back?

  Liu Xing chased him out unexpectedly, and found that Yin En was really back.

   Liu Xing called Yin En to stop, and said with some doubts: "Didn't you plan to stay in Heshan County for two days before coming back? Why did you come back so soon?"

Yin En shrugged, pointed at the entrance of Tianshui Town and said: "It's not because your family chose to leave early this morning with dozens of people, so the current neighbors can be described as panic, Everyone wanted to leave Heshan County as soon as possible, but my family packed their luggage neatly, and then urged me to come back and build a new home so that I can get married."

   Liu Xing smiled, "So that's the case, how many people have you come here this time?"

   "If you don't count me, there are twenty-eight people, all of whom you know in the neighborhood. Besides my family, there is only one person worth mentioning, and that is Blacksmith Gong."

As soon as Yin En finished speaking, Liu Xing said in surprise: "What, blacksmith Gong has also come, that's really good news, no matter what he says, he can be regarded as the best blacksmith in our Heshan County, and his The blacksmith shop is also very particular, and the various facilities and tools are comparable to those of the blacksmith shops in big cities."

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to join us, because didn't Blacksmith Gong have a very reliable son-in-law in Far West City, so I always thought that Gong Blacksmith would go to Far West City to join his son-in-law. In all aspects, our Tianshui Town, which has just begun to rebuild, ended up blacksmith Gong bringing his apprentices with me, but his other family members went to Far West City."

Yin En continued: "I asked Blacksmith Gong why he didn't go to Far West City, and he said that he was still young, and if he went to Far West City, he would probably spend his old age in peace, because a qualified blacksmith shop can't just be stuffed. People go in. After all, the blacksmith shop is a radish and a pit, or according to us modern people, it is an assembly line operation, and it is still an assembly line that has obtained a relatively optimal solution. If you add people and machines to it, there will not be many No matter how much production capacity is produced, it will even make ends meet.”

After Liu Xing thought for a while, he found that what Yin En said was quite reasonable. The blacksmith shop in ancient times was an assembly line, and there were people who were responsible for controlling the fire, and those who were responsible for shaping the shape. Therefore, a blacksmith shop that is operating normally Except for some apprentices who do odd jobs, they generally don't recruit people casually.

So Gong Tiejiang's current situation is like a restaurant already has a team of chefs who cooperate tacitly, but now you suddenly add a chef to it, then the efficiency of the restaurant's food delivery will not increase but decrease, and may even There will be contradictions.

Therefore, Gong Blacksmith goes to seek refuge with his son-in-law at this time, which means that he can live at home for the rest of his life, because the blacksmith shop opened by his son-in-law will not let him intervene casually. Knocking twice is nothing; as for returning to Tianshui Town after the turmoil subsides, then for Blacksmith Gong, he doesn't know when it will happen. After all, he is just an NPC, unlike players who can be sure that this turmoil will not last long , so he can only calculate the time to be longer.

"Besides, we are quite familiar with Blacksmith Gong, and we all know that he is very good to his apprentices, so he can enjoy family happiness when he goes to Far West City, and he no longer needs to work hard every day to forge iron, but his apprentices are very good. He is about to lose his job directly, so he chose to come to us to open a new blacksmith shop."

  Yin En said seriously: "Blacksmith Gong brought some ore, but it is not enough for our Tianshui Town, so Liu Xing, you have to find a way to get more ore."

  Yin En’s words made Liu Xing a little headache, because ore is really hard to buy now, let alone buying in large quantities, and the price of ore has also risen recently. . . In addition, the current alliance has not yet formed a qualified transportation team, so buying a large amount of ore may not be able to send it back.

  So Liu Xing thought of the abandoned mine in Tieshan Village that Huo Zijun was talking about.

According to Huo Zijun, there are still a lot of ores buried in the abandoned mine, but they have not been discovered due to the backward mining technology of this module, so as long as Huo Zijun conducts prospecting while searching for the source of the signal, it is really possible to find them. A new piece of ore.

   And if Liu Xing remembers correctly, the main component of magnetite is also iron, right?

  So Liu Xing told Yin En his thoughts.

"Yes, if that signal is really related to magnetite, then more ore can definitely be dug out of this abandoned mine! Although the amount of ore may not be enough, it is enough for our alliance gone."

   Speaking of this, Yin En said with a regretful face: "Oh, if I don't get married in two days, I have to follow the past to have a look. If I pick up some peerless skills, wouldn't I make money?"

   "How can a person who knows peerless skills be trapped in an abandoned mine?"

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "I reckon there will be at most one unlucky person staying inside, and the task reward may be a new piece of ore. In short, we only need to find the ore...so I have nothing to do these two days. Follow the past and take a look, Yin En, you can sit in the alliance for me."

Yin En thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded and said: "That's fine, anyway, I have something to do and I can't leave casually, but you don't want to miss my wedding, because my family has appointed you to come Be this witness."
