Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1965 The Disappearing Left Hand

   Today's alliance can be said to be developing rapidly. Not only are NPCs coming to join in a steady stream, but the number of players is also increasing steadily. As for the new Tianshui Town, it has already taken shape, and it is almost embellished with a few details.

  However, Liu Xing also knows that today's alliance has a big weakness, that is, a serious lack of high-end combat power, which is the biggest feature in this martial arts module - martial arts!

Of course, if Liu Xing lowered his requirements, he would still be able to find a lot of martial arts professionals to serve the alliance, but the problem is that the martial arts professionals here are often low-level existences, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than those ordinary people with strong bodies. It is better, but it is inevitable that two fists will lose to four hands.

  So now Liu Xing wants to recruit a few at least third-rate martial arts masters to sit in the alliance, so that the surrounding Xiaoxiao people can let go of their thoughts on Tianshui Town, just like the master of Heilangzhai.

  Then the question is, are there many third-rate masters near Tianshui Town?

   Still quite a lot.

But these third-rate masters are unlikely to join the alliance, because they are often the backbone of a certain sect, such as Zhang Ran and others that Liu Xing met, they are in charge of apprentice training in the sect, if they want to go out to do business They will also be responsible.

  Of course, if it is a third-rate martial arts master, it is basically the elder of the sect. If the sect is weaker, it is no problem to be the head.

  So these third-rate masters are like graduates who stay in school to teach, and generally don't go out to seek jobs.

Therefore, in Liu Xing's view, the third-rate experts who are most likely to join the alliance today are Ge Jing, who is still shameless, and He Xiong, who has gone nowhere. Of course, there may be a few of He Xiong's juniors. A third-rate expert.

All in all, today's Liu Xing can only hope that the third prince can send a few more martial arts masters to sit in the alliance. After all, although Yu Lei is at least a second-rate peak master, and he was also sent by the third prince to sit in the alliance in name, but he His job is still the envoy of the third prince, and he has to run around when he has nothing to do. For example, Yu Lei has been in Tianshui Town in name for several days, but he only stayed in Tianshui Town for less than half an hour.

  So Liu Xing made up his mind and planned to talk to Lei about this matter after he came back, and asked him to recommend some reliable candidates to come to Tianshui Town to help him.

   This should be no problem, right?

After chatting with Ding Kun for a while, Liu Xing returned to his room. At this time, the furniture in the room was ready, but there were still some defects in the furniture. Practice it.

And in order to embellish this "pure wood style" home, Liu Xing specially raised several pots of unknown wild flowers near Tianshui Town, and hung a hunting knife on the wall, which can not only be used as decoration, but also when necessary Sometimes you can use it for self-defense.

  As for the Yehou statue, Liu Xing found someone to build a counter for it, making it look like a real figure.

However, Liu Xing, who just came back, noticed that the statue of Yehou seemed to have been moved, because when it was delivered at the counter, Liu Xing put the statue of Yehou upright. It's crooked a little bit, you can't really find it if you don't look carefully.

However, Liu Xing can be sure that the statue of Yehou has indeed been moved, because Liu Xing also has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, so when placing it on the counter, Liu Xing decided the position according to the grain of the wooden floor, so Yehou The Roar statue is facing a road.

   It is because of this obvious reference that Liu Xing can so quickly confirm that the statue of Yehou has been moved.

  So after hearing about the Night Roar Statue, a new player came over to try it, and then put down the Night Roar Statue and left after finding out that it was indeed the case?

  Because he did something wrong, this player didn't dare to stay here for too long, so he didn't notice these small details when he left?

Liu Xing thought about it seriously, and found that there is a possibility, but the possibility is very low, because his room is located in the center of the alliance, and people come and go usually, and Juyi is not far away. Hall, so if you want to sneak in here without anyone noticing, it still takes some effort.

  The most important thing is, doing so outweighs the harm!

Although this statue of Night Roar is very tempting for players, players who have just come to the alliance can also hear from different seniors that this statue of Night Roar has been bound, so he will risk being expelled from the alliance Come to test the truth?

   You must know that the price of being expelled from the alliance is very high!

  Of course, even Liu Xing, who is the leader, cannot just expel a player from the alliance, unless he has the support of other deputy leaders, and at the same time must pay certain achievement points to the player as compensation.

However, if Liu Xing can expel this player from the alliance with reasonable grounds, then this player will be deducted a certain amount of achievement points instead, and if the player's achievement points are not enough to deduct, then he can mention a " negative points" special achievement.

   So what is so special about this achievement? That is, when the player completes the achievement later, the achievement points obtained will be reduced by 50% until the owed achievement points are paid off.

I knew that in this martial arts module, 99.9% of the players can only rely on achievement points to obtain the rewards they want. After all, there are only so many players who can trigger adventures, and these players may not necessarily Being able to survive to the finale brings the rewards for completing adventures out of the martial arts mod.

Therefore, players who have been expelled from the alliance can drink a pot just from the reward of achievement points, not to mention that there is another punishment in addition, that is, the higher the reputation of the alliance, the more people they can influence. NPCs in a long range, making them feel disgusted by players who have been expelled from the alliance. . . Of course, there may also be situations where some NPCs agree with this.

  So, for a gamble, would someone risk being expelled from the alliance to verify a fact recognized by other players?

The most important thing is that there are not many players who have come to Tianshui Town to join the alliance in the past two days, and most of them come and leave on the same day, because most of them have become disciples of a certain sect, so they are specially asking for leave over here.

  So if the possibility of a certain player is excluded, Liu Xing can only think of one possibility now-earthquake.

  The earthquake here refers to the vibration that occurred when the nearby logging team cut down a big tree. Because the distance is close enough, it should be able to cause the Night Roar statue to move slightly under undetectable circumstances?

  If the number of times is long, then such a displacement can be seen.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing glanced at the direction of the logging team, and found that if the vibration came from that direction, then the Yehou statue might indeed become what it is now.

  Case solved?

   Liu Xing felt that although his inference was reasonable, something seemed wrong.

   Why?

   Liu Xing pondered for a moment, but still found nothing.

   Is it just that I think too much?

   While thinking, Liu Xing picked up the Night Roar statue, wanting to see if there was any problem with it.

   As a result, when Liu Xing just touched the Yehou statue, its left hand turned into powder and disappeared into the air instantly.

  What's the situation? !

   Touch porcelain?

   Liu Xing looked at the statue of Yehou with surprise on his face. He didn't expect that it can be regarded as doing as the Romans do. In this martial arts module, he cosplays the one-armed hero Yang Guo.

  Because the Yehou statue is not a symmetrical structure, Liu Xing can feel that the sudden disappearance of his left hand has changed the center of gravity of the statue.

  So it was because of the shift of the center of gravity that the statue of Yehou moved?

   Liu Xing thinks this should be the truth.

  But the solution to one problem brought up a new problem, that is, why did the left hand of the Yehou statue suddenly disappear? And there really isn't even a speck of ashes left.

However, Liu Xing didn't think about it for a long time, and realized a possibility, that is, the Yehou statue originally belonged to a series of works, and was sent to the nine princes to find their chosen ones, and now they are almost By the second month, the remaining eight statues should have found their owners and completed the binding.

   So now it's possible that something happened to the statue itself, or its owner, or at least one of the two, or both!

  So after the Night Roar statue sensed this, it chose to cut off its own arm to express its regret.

  Ahem, it seems a little too much drama.

   So there are only eight statues left in the martial arts mod?

   So the question arises again, what happens when there is only one statue left?

Liu Xing was very curious before, if all these statues were collected, or if there was only one left, what would happen, because these statues were sent to players from different camps, so as the plot continued to advance, these statues also If there are chips on the gaming table, it is very likely that they will belong to one person in the end.

  After figuring this out, Liu Xing put the Night Roar statue back, and wondered whether to build a special safe for it to avoid any accidents?

   Thinking about it, Liu Xing fell asleep.

As a result, this time Liu Xing didn't pick up the previous dreams, but dreamed that a young man dressed as a scholar was walking along a forest path, and he was carrying a backpack of the same style as Ning Caichen's, but What is placed inside is not a book, but a statue with a strange shape.

  As a loyal player of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, Liu Xing naturally saw at a glance that this was the statue of Night Demon.

   At this time, Liu Xing realized that this dream was to let him know that the statue had quit the game.

   Sure enough, before the player dressed as a scholar had gone far, four people jumped out from the grass beside them, each holding a short knife in their hands.

  Seeing this situation, the player turned around and ran away, but was knocked to the ground by one person within a few steps, while the other took out the Night Demon statue and said something disappointed.

   It turns out that these four people are also players.

   Judging from the performance of these people, Liu Xing knew that these four people were also players, and they came for this Night Demon statue.

But what Liu Xing didn't expect was that after a brief discussion, the four players directly gave the original owner of the night demon statue a heart-warming blow. The bind state of the Demon Statue.

  As a result, the Night Demon statue was immediately turned into fly ash and was blown away by a gust of wind.

  As for the four players, they stood there motionless as if their souls had been blown away.

   Then, Liu Xing woke up, and it was already dawn at this time.

   Sure enough, a player holding a statue was torn off.

  Looking at the statue of Yehou, Liu Xing had another question in his mind, that is, with the disappearance of other statues, what will be left of the statue of Yehou in the end? Is it its iconic "silly hair"?

  That can be used as a hidden weapon.

   But Liu Xing thought about it again, and thought of another possibility, so he quickly picked up the statue of Yehou and weighed it, and then came to a conclusion that the center of gravity of the statue of Yehou was a bit wrong!

   Logically speaking, the overall material of the Night Roar statue should be made of the same material, so it is easy to guess its center of gravity, even though the Night Roar statue now lacks a left hand.

  However, Liu Xing found that the position of the center of gravity of the Yehou statue was quite different from the position he had guessed, and he came directly to the heart of the Yehou statue.

  Of course, the premise of this speculation is that if Night Roar has a heart, and it is in the same position as a human heart.

   So what does this mean? Naturally, there may be something hidden in the heart of the Yehou statue, and it is a very "precious" thing.

  So when the other statues disappeared, Liu Xing felt that he could see the "sincerity" of the Yehou statue.

   Something interesting, but not much.

Liu Xing pondered for a while, and finally gave up the idea of ​​letting the statue of Yehou open its "heart", because Liu Xing accidentally dropped the statue of Yehou on the ground before, and it turned out that there was no problem with the statue of Yehou, but there were more on the ground. A strange-shaped pit was formed.

   So unless it is a magical weapon, Liu Xing reckons that ordinary weapons will not be able to hurt this Night Roar statue.

  After figuring this out, Liu Xing went out to find Ding Kun who was jogging in the morning, and told the whole story about the Yehou statue.

   "The expected thing happened."

Ding Kun said with a smile: "It seems that this is the hidden mission that comes with the Night Roar Statue, which is to let all the players who have obtained the statue compete with each other to get the rewards in their respective statues. If nothing else, these rewards should be completely different props, and it is also related to the prototype of the statue.”
