Real Cthulhu Running Game

In the real world, if the Warring States crystal cup needs to be carved for a year, then Liu Xing feels that in this martial arts module, the time can be shortened to about half a year, because if martial arts masters are used to carve, internal strength can be activated. to an obvious effect.

   So the sculptor of this crystal lion could not be a martial arts master?

Just as Liu Xing looked up at Yin En, Yin En said directly: "I know you are wondering if the sculptor of this crystal lion is a martial arts master? The answer I can give now is that I don't know, because he is already in the He passed away more than ten years ago, and his family thought he was an ordinary craftsman; but it is worth mentioning that he also came to Junxiang alone, claiming to be a carpenter who likes to carve, so he usually They are all making furniture for the folks. When they are free, they will start to carve various materials. In addition to this crystal lion, there are many wood and stone carvings, but these statues are considered worthless by his family, so they directly to the neighbors."

"That's right, if it's not a famous sculptor, then his works are indeed not very valuable, especially for works such as wood carvings and clay sculptures, which are mainly made of very common materials. Others will subconsciously think that they are not very valuable, so I will not spend a lot of money to buy; after all, works of art such as sculptures and paintings pay attention to a brand premium. If it is not a famous author, then it would be good if these works can earn a little more after paying back their capital.”

Liu Xing nodded and said: "However, this crystal lion is quite valuable at first glance, because at this time the crystal is not as bad as in the real world, and any street stall can buy a piece of crystal clear crystal for tens of dollars. Jewelry, so it's no wonder that such a large crystal statue is worthless."

"Yes, I also remember that crystals were very valuable in ancient times, because there were not many crystal mines in the Central Plains at that time, and in my impression of this character card, the third prince's men did not seem to have a crystal mine, or the entire In the New Dragon Empire, it seems that there is only one crystal mine with large reserves near the Crystal City, while the crystal mines in other places may be the size of a football field."

At this time, Zhang Jingxu stood up and said: "So if the loss is added, then the raw materials of this crystal lion are not small, which is a bit valuable, or even if you have money, you may not be able to find a suitable source of goods, because Crystal City. After the crystals on the side are mined, they are basically processed locally, and then sold to franchised stores around the world, so Yin En, didn't you trigger any tasks?"

"No, so I feel very strange now, because logically speaking, this crystal lion is worth a task, but the problem is that I have got this crystal lion for so long, and as a result, there is no response from the Cthulhu running team game hall , it seems that it may be because the sculptor of this crystal lion has passed away for many years, or I haven't found a normal way to trigger it, such as giving it to someone?" Yin En said seriously.

Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing subconsciously thought of the third prince, because the reward from the third prince was about to be sent to Tianshui Town, so Liu Xing also thought about whether he should "gift" something to the third prince, after all It's best if everything comes and goes, and the things you send don't need to be too good, as long as you have a heart, it's good.

So this crystal lion is a good gift, because the workmanship of this crystal lion is really good, and it can be sold at a price in the market. There are some opportunities to talk about. For example, the folks from Jun Township came to Tianshui Town to present this ancestral treasure because of the kindness of the third prince. up?

Goods with a story can be sold at a good price. This is very obvious in the real world. As a result, many new products will tell you a story when they are on the shelves. Among them, Fat Liu Xing’s most memorable one should be the small pot It's tea, because the "master hype" story it made up just raised the value of the small pot of tea, and at first glance it seemed quite reasonable.

In terms of antiques, there has always been a saying that "the subject matter is valuable". For example, two finely crafted vases from the same dynasty and well-preserved. For unremarkable flowers and plants, the price of the former may be twice or even more times that of the latter, which is the value given by the subject matter.

  So Liu Xing felt that he could make another story about the crystal lion, or make a fuss about the subject of "lion", and he should be able to describe this good-looking crystal statue as an excellent work full of meaning.

  So, Liu Xing gave Yin En a look of "you understand", and Yin En naturally understood Liu Xing's meaning, or he had already had the same idea.

  Therefore, Liu Xing and others reached a consensus, and they planned to use this crystal lion as a return gift to the third prince. Of course, how to make up this story still needs to be discussed.

  Then, the topic of Liu Xing and others became Yin En's wedding.

   "The first of next month."

Yin En said seriously: "I discussed with Wen Jing and her family, and decided to put the wedding date on the first day of next month. The reason is that now that they have moved to Tianshui Town, they still need a little time to settle down, and then it is now The mountains and rains are about to come, and the building is full of wind, and the new Dragon Emperor has a habit of summing up at the end of the month, that is, no matter what the situation is, he will hold a court meeting on the last day of the month to summarize the gains and losses of this month. There was no interruption."

"So this should be a temporary patch in the game lobby of the Cthulhu Running Group. In order to make it more reasonable for the princes to start on the first day of next month, after all, they can't keep flying pigeons during this period of time, and then It is agreed to start the battle for the throne on the 1st of next month? Therefore, this patch added at the last moment in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group makes the behavior of the princes more reasonable. After all, what the father has to do every month Suddenly stopped doing it this month, and there is no reasonable explanation, so combined with the previous rumors, there is a lot to say about it.”

   "I see. I thought it would be a bit abrupt to start the main plot next month. Why did everyone pick this time to start?"

  Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "So Yin En, you changed the wedding date to the first day of next month. You are going to make sure that the new Dragon Emperor is okay?"

   "That's right! It's just two words—congratulations. If the new Dragon Emperor really has an accident, then even if Wen Jing and I marry him to congratulate him, we have done our duty." Yin En said with a smile.

   "Well, it seems reasonable for you to say that, anyway..."

Just as Liu Xing was about to speak, he suddenly thought of a question, "Wait, I remember that there were no lions in the Xinlong Empire, right? And in history, there were a few lions paid as tribute in the Han Dynasty, but the lions at this time were all As a rare bird and animal, it was kept in the palace, and it was almost difficult for outsiders to see it, and even outsiders had never heard of it; so the image of the lion may not be well-known to the public until around the Song Dynasty, but I remember watching it before. After a few paintings, the lion painted on it almost turned into other animals, and it seems that the artist drew the image of the lion in his mind based on other people's descriptions."

"This is actually quite normal, because there are similar paintings all over the world, some of which are even famous paintings of the court. As a result, the animals in them are more abstract than the ones in the paintings. The difference from the deity is too big, but they can be perfectly matched. The basic characteristics of these animals, it can be seen that these painters drew according to the characteristics of animals dictated by others, and then added their own imagination; now the problem comes, if the sculptor of this crystal lion has never seen a real lion , Then how did he carve such a similar lion? You must know that I just went through the memory of Liu Peng’s character card, and found that the term lion has no impression in his mind.”

  When Liu Xing said this, Yin En and others couldn't help being taken aback.

After a while, Yin En nodded and said: "Yes, when the fellow gave me this crystal lion, he also mentioned that he didn't know what it was carved, and thought it was some kind of magical beast, so there is Isn't there such a possibility that the sculptor of this crystal lion is indeed a martial arts master, and he once faced a monster with a lion as its prototype?"

"This is the most reasonable possibility, but I think this sculptor may also be an important person in the previous dynasty. He has seen real lions. After all, the previous dynasty was also a dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years. There are several tributes The lion is also normal, and it would explain why the man was holding a crystal."

Ding Kun said with his arms akimbo: "So this crystal lion should be bound to a hidden mission, but if it needs to be triggered, it must be determined who the sculptor of this crystal lion is, and what he has experienced in these years, so Yin En You have to go there and see if there is a way to extract some information from his family."

  Yin En immediately nodded and said: "No problem, I'll set off right away! It just so happens that I also have to help the villagers adapt to the environment. As for what excuse to use to approach the family, I have to think about it while walking."

As soon as Yin En's voice fell, Liu Xing continued: "I just said that I like this crystal lion, so Yin En, you can ask them if they have preserved other works, if they fall into other people's hands , Yin En, you also go to see if they are willing to make a move, in short, you can collect as much as you can."

"no problem."

   Yin En walked away after speaking.

And Liu Xing and others followed, because there were too many people from Junxiang this time, and they were all determined to settle in Tianshui Town, so they all carried big bags on their backs. , so now it is true that a lot of manpower is needed to help them settle down.

   After working like this for a whole afternoon, Liu Xing and others finally settled the villagers of Jun Township properly.

   "There are more and more people here."

Meng Fugui, who was in charge of the accounts, said with a bit of a headache: "Although I know that there will be a lot of money coming in soon, I still feel a little headache seeing so many people, because apart from unstable income such as rewards, we must now It is not enough to make ends meet, and there is no way to reverse this situation in a short period of time... Fortunately, we only need to stay in this module for one year. If it is changed to two or three years, then we have to consider paying It's a question of balance."

   "It shouldn't be difficult to balance the income and expenditure. There is a large area of ​​open land in Tianshui Town, and the land is relatively fertile, so after a year of intensive cultivation, it can turn losses into profits." Liu Xing said.

   "There is no problem in saying that, but there is a very important premise, that is, we can farm the land without distraction, without worrying that others will come to trouble us."

Meng Fugui shook his head and said: "Now that there are more people and the distribution area has become wider, our defensive pressure has also increased. Therefore, we still have to prepare early and build watchtowers at key positions such as bridgeheads. ?”

  Hearing Meng Fugui's words, Liu Xing felt a little headache, because this is indeed a big problem, and it is also a problem that has to be faced directly, so if it is not handled properly, the alliance may not be able to keep.

   But if you want to keep the alliance, in terms of current strength, you can only pray that you will not be crushed by the army.

   "In this regard, I can only do my best and obey the destiny."

Zhang Jingxu stood up and said: "We can set up barricade towers in several key locations, and then strengthen the defense methods of residential areas, that is, give up frontal confrontation, and turn to street fighting with the enemy! That is, prepare a few for each household. Long guns, and then form a simplified version of the gun array at the door of the house... But this is just saying that it is better than nothing. If the enemy we are facing is too strong, then these operations are just delaying time, so why don't we just see the situation? Just retreat into the forest?"

"Then let's retreat directly. The reason why these enemies are targeting Tianshui Town is that they have ideas about our alliance, so just demolish the representative building of our alliance, which is the Canglong Temple that has just been built. If they do, then their goal will be considered achieved, and it will be meaningless to chase us at this time, and the loss outweighs the gain.”

Liu Xing opened his mouth and analyzed: "Of course, they may still have more ideas about me. After all, in their eyes, I represent the Eastern Palace Canglong and the most important person here, so I will run away in another direction when the time comes. They I should just send someone to catch me, so that you can be safe and sound."
