Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1956 Keeping a cat

  It's kinda cute.

  Looking at the raccoon cat in front of him, Liu Xing thought that he had thought about raising a cat when he was a child, but in the end he got a very classic reply from his mother—the cat and you can only have one.

  So who brought this raccoon cat to Tianshui Town?

  Recently, NPCs who come to Tianshui Town almost always bring a cat, cat or dog. After all, dogs can watch the house and guard the gate, and cats can catch mice. They are still very useful in the context of martial arts mods.

"Meow meow meow."

  The raccoon cat rubbed against Liu Xing familiarly, looking very enthusiastic.

   Seeing this situation, Liu Xing immediately made up his mind, that is, if this raccoon cat has no owner, then he can adopt it by himself.

  Although this possibility is not high, because it is very likely that this cihuamao came with a certain NPC, and now it is just wandering around when it is idle and has nothing to do, and then ran into its own room.

   At this moment, Liu Xing saw an orange cat poking its head by the window, and the raccoon cat jumped on the window after seeing it, and left with the orange cat.

  A raccoon cat and an orange cat?

   This combination reminded Liu Xing of the cat master and cat boy in his dreams. The character cards used by these two players are orange cat and raccoon cat.

  But orange cats and civet cats are still very common cat breeds in Xinlong Empire, so this should be just a coincidence, right?

  It's a pity that my cat just ran away.

  Liu Xing shook his head, and decided to find an acquaintance to adopt a kitten after dawn, so as to add a little vitality to his home and catch mice by the way.

In the memory of "Liu Peng", every year someone is bitten by a mouse while sleeping at night, and Liu Xing also remembers that he heard from many sources, such as relatives, friends, and magazine novels, that someone was bitten off by a mouse , scratched face.

   So it is still necessary to have a cat now, because as the number of people in Tianshui Town increases, the number of rats will also increase.

  Because he went to bed early last night, and the quality of sleep after falling asleep was also very good, so now Liu Xing has no idea of ​​going back to sleep, but directly gets up and washes up, ready to see how Ge Jing is doing.

According to Xiaolou, Ge Jing also hung a hammock in the woods, and then lived with the few players Ding Kun arranged to stay behind. Of course, those players lived in tents. After all, although the small animals in the woods They were all driven away by the wine gorilla, but there were still many small bugs of all kinds.

And after half a day of contact, Ge Jing and the left-behind players have established a good relationship, because he himself is a very eloquent person, and he also wandered in the rivers and lakes for a while, so Ge ​​Jing is still good at telling stories , can scare those players into a daze.

   So far, Ge Jing has not written any strange actions.

  So after Liu Xing finished washing, he went to the cafeteria to get a few breakfasts, and carried them to the woods in a bamboo basket.

   Then, Liu Xing saw Ge Jing practicing martial arts.

   One thing to say, in the memory of "Liu Peng", Ge Jing never got up early to practice martial arts.

Looking at the surprised Liu Xing, Ge Jing said embarrassedly: "This martial art has been neglected for many years, and it's time to practice it, not to mention that people from the Fox Hunting Sect are already eyeing me, I have to find a way Protect yourself one or two."

Liu Xing nodded, and said with a smile: "Brother Ge, you should practice first, and come over to eat after the practice, and if you don't mind, can you teach my brothers a few tricks? To join various sects, it turned out that it was because of me that I temporarily gave up this idea."

   "No problem, I will teach them a few tricks later. As long as they can learn it seriously, won't it be easy for them to join a certain sect in the future? Of course, the sects I am talking about here do not include those top-notch sects."

Ge Jing said with a smile: "Those sects that have reached the first-class level have very high requirements for their disciples. Even if your talent is very high, you must meet some additional conditions before you can join the sect. Of course, if your talent reaches If you have reached a very high level, then these additional conditions can be ignored; for example, Flying Fire Castle, which is currently ranked in the top ten, has never recruited people with the surname Wang because the founder of the mountain has a bad relationship with a person surnamed Wang. Wang's people became apprentices, and it turned out that their latest generation's senior brother was surnamed Wang, because his talent is so outstanding, it is very likely that Flying Fire Castle will be promoted to a higher level in this year's martial arts conference, and it will directly impact the martial arts ranking Top five, maybe even top three."

   Liu Xing has heard of the little story about Feihuobao, of course, the point is that the martial arts of Feihuobao are very interesting, and it seems a bit out of tune with other schools.

   To put it simply, Feihuobao's unique technique is Feihuo Meteor, which is simply a fireball technique! And other signature martial arts also use internal force to condense into flames, forming fire knives, muskets and other forms, so the disciples of Flying Fire Castle have extremely strong long-range combat capabilities, but if they really want to fight in close combat, they can't fight at the same level. There is almost no chance of winning in a confrontation of strength.

Therefore, Feihuobao has been among the top ten goalkeepers in the sect ranking for more than ten years. Although they want to go further, they have not found any good opportunities. After all, the disciples they recruit must have internal strength. Extremely talented, so there are only a few disciples that can be recruited every year, and their talents in fists, feet and weapons are very average.

As a result, they met a young man surnamed Wang. Not only did he have extraordinary talent in internal strength, he was able to summon a small fireball in just a few days, and he also had certain attainments in wielding knives and guns, so Flying Fire Castle can only make a decision that goes against the patriarch.

  Then Flying Fire Castle is really fragrant, because if Flying Fire Castle used to train fire mages, then now there is an excellent magic swordsman, which makes up for Flying Fire Castle's disadvantages in melee combat.

So in the past two years, there has been a gossip in Flying Fire Castle, that is, this senior brother surnamed Wang is going to start accepting apprentices, and his apprenticeship standards can lower the requirements for internal strength, but at least You have to have a certain talent in a certain weapon.

   This means that Flying Fire Castle is going to open up a new genre.

   Air sect and sword sect?

Liu Xing subconsciously thought of Qizong and Jianzong in "Swordsman", they were both members of the Huashan faction, but because of the different directions of practicing martial arts, they had conflicts, and they both felt that their side could represent the real The Huashan faction clashed and ended up fighting.

  So will this happen to Flying Fire Castle?

   "By the way, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, there are some useful things in my house. If you have time, Peng, send someone to get them."

Ge Jing said seriously: "During the period when I just left the division, I thought about going to other sects to learn from teachers, but in the end I chose to give up. After all, I was expelled from the division at that time, so unless I am Go far away, otherwise the nearby sects would not be able to accept me as an apprentice; so, I went to buy a set of bound books of introductory martial arts. Although these martial arts are relatively basic, they are still much better than you. , so A Peng, you can go back and bring back this set of bound books, so that your brothers can lay a good foundation."

   "Oh, then I'll arrange someone to pick up the things later." Liu Xing nodded and said.

   "Also, there is a weapon rack in my house, which has all kinds of weapons, so if you can move it, bring it here, so that everyone can find that they are more talented in that area."

Ge Jing said with a smile: "Except for some special weapons, the entry threshold for most weapons is not high. As long as you practice hard, you can master them well. That's why my former master said that before you learn from a master, You should practice various weapons first to see if you are more comfortable with that weapon; then there is a case of wine in the kitchen, because I never cook at home, so the kitchen has been transformed into a storage by me. In the storage room, all kinds of wine are stored the most, and in that box are my favorite and most expensive bottles of wine."

"Actually, our Tianshui Town is also preparing to make wine recently, and we will also use brand-new wine-making techniques and tools, so Brother Ge, you can look forward to it and give us your opinion by the way, because we plan to use this wine as a sweet water town. The new signboard." Liu Xing said with a smile.

   At this time, those players who stayed in the woods had already gotten up, so everyone gathered together and started to have breakfast.

   "Leader, shall we continue to dig this burrow today?"

Liu Xing thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Keep digging. Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle. If you have nothing to do, go down and dig a few hoes. If you can dig something good, it will be great. If you can't dig it, it doesn't matter. It’s like exercising.”

   While speaking, Liu Xing was also paying attention to Ge Jing's expression, and found that Ge Jing's expression was normal, but he was a little curious.

   "By the way, I may have to go outside for a few days, so if you have anything to do, go directly to shopkeeper Meng."

  Liu Xing took a sip of water and said to Ge Jing: "Brother Ge, have you heard of Tieshan Village? If there is no accident, I will go there."

Ge Jing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Not only have I heard of this Tieshan Village, but I have also been there once before! The reason why Tieshan Village is called this is because there is an iron mine near the village. The ore in the mountain was quickly exhausted, so Tieshan Village also declined together, and there should be few households left now. After all, the mine also brought a lot of benefits to the local people before it dried up, so Many villagers left with the miners."

   "Oh, that means there may not be many people in Tieshan Village now?" Liu Xing raised his brows.

"That's right, Tieshan Village didn't have many residents. After all, in the deep mountains and old forests, there were not many lands to cultivate, and if you were hunting, you would easily encounter hard stubble like wild boars and bears. Dozens of households, and many people left here and there, if not for the discovery of iron mines, it might have become history now; I went to Tieshan Village a year ago, and the reason why I The reason why I will go is because a friend is going to get married. He was originally a villager in Tieshan Village. Marriage in the mountain village."

Ge Jing sighed and continued: "When I came to Tieshan Village, I found that there were only five households left in Tieshan Village, and they were all elderly people who had been farming in Tieshan Village all these years. , never left, because although there is not much arable land in Tieshan Village, it is still easy to support these families; and before the iron mines were exhausted, the people in Tieshan Village took the opportunity to renovate their houses, So the accommodation conditions are still very good, anyway, much better than my kennel, so I want to stay in Tieshan Village forever."

"However, I also found that the remaining villagers were old and frail, so this year's time may turn some villagers to ashes, dust to dust...Of course, this is not important, it is important The most important thing is that there seems to be something wrong with the abandoned iron mine! My friend’s grandfather mentioned one thing, that is, in the year when the iron mine was just abandoned, he found that there were many new footprints near the iron mine, and the iron mine The wooden door that was originally sealed in the mine was also destroyed, so he suspected that someone had entered the iron mine, but this is quite normal, because iron mines are very profitable."

Speaking of this, Ge Jing smiled, "In the past few years in Heshan County, I have encountered many disputes related to iron ore. In their opinion, as long as they take away a piece of iron ore, it will be enough for them to be cool for several days. As a result, these guys were caught and hanged by the caravan guards, and I need to take them away later; So even if it is an iron ore that has been abandoned, there will still be some unwilling people who want to go in and pick up the leak, because as long as they can pick up a piece of iron ore, then this trip will be regarded as a sure profit. If there are more, then this will be a huge profit!"

"However, as a villager in Tieshan Village, my friend's grandfather knew that before the miners left, they carefully inspected the situation in the mine and took away all the fragmented iron ore, so these thoughts Unless those who want to pick up cheap ones are lucky enough to discover new veins directly, they will not be able to get anything if they go in; so over time, the number of new footprints near this iron mine has decreased significantly, but villagers often see Go to the hole in the iron mine and light the light."
