Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1987 Backstroke crucian carp

"Impossible, didn't the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group say that there will be no mythical creatures in the martial arts module this time, and there will be no old dominators, so where is the king in yellow? Of course there is something wrong. Maybe it's a yellow-robed old man who is based on the king of yellow?" Zhang Jingxu said with a frown.

"Perhaps, I don't know the specific situation. I just know that the troupe had an accident on the way, and then the troupe was disbanded directly. As for what kind of accident it was, and what consequences the accident brought about As far as I know, I only know that there are a few actors who have never appeared again; and then there is the regular customer of this troupe, that is, the person who wrote the script seems to have never encountered any problems, but he doesn't like to go out for a walk very much, and stays with him every day. I sang operas in my own yard, but the songs were all familiar to everyone.”

Yin En said seriously: "I remember that the Taoist robe made by my family should be regarded as a finished product, so if the theater troupe has any special requirements, it should be reflected in that Taoist robe, so I will go to make this Taoist robe tomorrow. Find it out and see if there are any special marks on him, such as yellow seals or something."

Liu Xing thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Having a yellow seal is actually normal, after all, there are no old rulers in this parallel world, so show the NPCs here an old seal or a yellow seal, and they will only I think this thing is quite gimmicky; and isn’t the Cthulhu running game lobby often reusing models, otherwise ghouls and deep divers would not appear in about 60% of the modules.”

Because the game hall of the Cthulhu running team likes to arrange ghouls and deep divers to appear in the module, many players are complaining about the game hall of the Cthulhu running team. In order to save money, they made a lot of ghouls And the models of the deep divers, and then arrange them into various modules to interact with the players. After all, for large mythical creatures like the star family, the "cost" required for modeling must be much more expensive than the deep divers.

Liu Xing thought it was just a joke before, but after the dream that day, Liu Xing realized that it was really the case. Many mythical creatures were "created" by the game hall of the Cthulhu Runners, and due to financial problems Unlimited "modeling" is also not possible, so Liu Xing suspects that the game hall of the Cthulhu running team at that time was indeed composed of several mythical creatures constantly running around, making guest appearances in various modules, or in other words, the crew.

Of course, there may also be special actors here. For example, in the previous holiday island module, Liu Xing met a middle-aged man who was the manager of the holiday island on the surface, but secretly a deep diver. It will change its own name according to where the players participating in the module come from, but it remains the same. Its background story should not change, so this deep diver should not go to other modules as a cameo, but Stick to this mod of your own.

So Liu Xing now has an idea that there may be a waiting room in the game lobby of Cthulhu Running Group, and there will be a group of mythical creatures resting there, and when a new module starts, everyone in the waiting room The screen will push a notification—a certain module needs two deep divers and a human-faced mouse; then the mythical creature that meets the requirements will get up and enter a certain passage, and then appear in the corresponding module, and start to move its muscles and bones to prepare Face the players.

  However, the mythical creatures here should all be real mythical creatures, which were "recruited" in some way after the Cthulhu running group game hall became bigger and stronger.

  For example, Tenner should have been "captured" by the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, so it will do everything possible to leave the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group.

As for the modeling of the mythical creatures in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, it may be like a coin-operated beverage machine, which will automatically arrange some mythical creatures to appear according to the needs of the module. Of course, the modules here should not There will be literary dramas arranged for mythical creatures, all of which are direct hands-on martial arts, so that players will not see the flaws.

"It's really not a day or two to reuse modeling in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group. I remember a player mentioned a big sword in the forum, and then several players said that they encountered it in the module. The big swords are almost exactly the same, because the props of these big swords are really the same, and the details of some swords can also be matched, so basically it is a real hammer. The game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group will copy some props Pasted in various modules, but this is also normal, after all, isn’t it reasonable for the same props to appear in parallel worlds?”

  Yin En sent a hache, shook his head and said: "No, I've been busy all day today, and it's time for me to go back and rest, and tomorrow I have to go for a walk with Young Master Ying, so I have to sleep well today."

   "I have worked hard for you these two days."

Liu Xing said with a smile: "This Young Master Eagle is related to the development of our alliance, so Yin En, you have to behave well and let Young Master Ying know what it means to feel at home; then if you need anything, please remember to notify me or Meng Fugui, we will definitely make proper arrangements for you."

Ever since, Yin En and the three went back to their respective homes, while Liu Xing went to the river to take a shower first. After all, the weather in the past two days was a little hot even at night. The most important thing is that Liu Xing just participated in a bonfire party. Now Already covered in sweat.

   Just when Liu Xing was about to go home, he suddenly saw a backstroke crucian carp floating on the water.

What's happening here? Could it be that the weather is too hot and there is not enough oxygen in the water?

Because the alliance set up fishing nets in the lower reaches of this river, except for some small fish, other fish were blocked in this river section, and then became the most common dish in the alliance cafeteria - stewed miscellaneous fish. After all the fish are cleaned, they are stewed in one pot, except that occasionally some crucian carp will be taken out to stew the soup.

But even so, the current section of the river is full of fish, so no one dares to swim in the river, because people will be knocked about by the fish after they go down, and there was even a player who was almost caught by the fish before. He was dragged into the water, if it wasn't for his teammates to support him, he might not be able to get up.

So the ecological environment in this martial arts module is really good, but it may also be due to the lack of enough kinds of seasonings. After all, as a native of Sichuan, Liu Xing’s favorite pepper is still on the other side of the sea, so the cafeteria and fish The relevant dishes are either pickled fish, or stewed fish and fish soup. In short, the taste is the same, so even in the Xinlong Empire, where the river network is densely covered, there are not many famous fish-based dishes.

However, this is also thanks to the farmers and doctors of the various schools of thought. They developed high-yielding and pest-resistant crops and veterinary medicines with excellent effects more than a hundred years ago, which made the agriculture and animal husbandry of the Xinlong Empire The industry is very developed, and unless there is a long period of bad weather, there will be no grain failure.

So for so many years, except for those years when the battle was the most intense, there will be a situation where food cannot make ends meet due to no one taking care of the fields. People can also eat meat several times a week, so not many people will choose to eat fish.

   After all, if there are not enough spices, the earthy smell of fish is still quite difficult to deal with.

This has resulted in very rich fishery resources in the river, and in this way, those monsters that live in the water or like to eat fish are more gentle than those living in the deep mountains and old forests, and they will hardly attack humans actively. After all They all have nothing to worry about.

  So, in areas where monsters are sure to appear by the river, people will acquiesce in one thing - don't go fishing in the river.

Therefore, after Liu Xing and others put fishing nets downstream to catch big fish, they found that if they did not catch fish for a day or two, big fish would start jumping out of the water. Of course, from a scientific point of view, this is not the case I want to jump to the dragon's gate, but because the fish density in the water is too high, resulting in hypoxia.

   So this crucian carp started backstroke because of lack of oxygen?

   While thinking, Liu Xing picked up this crucian carp, and then found that something was wrong with this crucian carp, because there was a small hole in its body, which looked like it had been attacked by a hollow fire crow.

etc!

   Liu Xing had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered a kind of fish monster that Yu Lei mentioned to himself——water swordfish!

  The ability of the water swordfish is very simple, that is, it can release a high-pressure water gun, which can easily penetrate a standard iron-clad wooden shield, but it is not yet sure whether this high-pressure water gun is a magic attack or a relatively scientific physical attack.

If it is the former, there is no need to explain it, because magic things cannot be explained, and if it is the latter, there can be a very reasonable explanation. After all, there are similar fish in the real world, but their water guns are also It can only knock down a small bug.

   After all, the lungs of fish are only that big, and the amount of water that can be compressed is only that much.

But the most outrageous thing is that hundreds of water swordfish have been found so far, but it is not believed that one of them can be caught, because the speed of water swordfish is too fast, and its fins are comparable to steel. Therefore, fishing nets can do nothing to catch it, even martial arts masters who have practiced iron sand palms dare not catch it with bare hands.

  So this crucian carp was attacked by a water swordfish? Because he didn't hurt his vitals, he swam here before turning over?

  Then the question is, where is this water swordfish? If it also enters this river section, it doesn't matter if the alliance loses a fishing net, but just running away, this water swordfish saw that there are fish everywhere, so it didn't bother to run anymore, and it might be caught by then. There were casualties.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing found the player who was watching the night, asked him to pay attention to the situation by the river, and informed the subsequent players of this matter.

  As for removing the downstream fishing net, Liu Xing still wanted to wait until the next day to make a decision, because without this fishing net, the fish harvested by the alliance every day would be about half less.

   Besides, it is still uncertain whether there are water swordfish approaching this river section, so we can't give up eating because of choking.

  After dealing with this episode, Liu Xing went back to rest.

   As a result, just as Liu Xing's head touched the pillow, a sense of drowsiness swept over Liu Xing's body, and then Liu Xing found himself in the resort island that was about to face a storm.

   But this time Liu Xing is not the camera that stood still and could not move, but evolved into a drone that can fly.

   Or to put it another way, Liu Xing is now like the God's perspective in some games, he can move around at will, including escaping through walls.

So Liu Xing subconsciously let himself fly into the air, and began to overlook the entire resort island. It turned out that there was indeed a situation of modeling reuse in the resort island. After the road from the beach to the visitor center, the player used it as a background board Almost all the small villas use the same model, and on the side that the player cannot see, even the windows are reluctant to draw one, and the flowers and trees that should have been directly omitted.

But this is not the point. The point is that there are actually two beaches that are the player's birth point, located on the left and right sides of the resort island, and the two beaches are almost exactly the same. The only difference is that one of the beaches has a sea. Home, this is something that Liu Xing did not see in the previous holiday island mods.

  So why did the person who designed this mod prepare two beaches?

Liu Xing studied it carefully again, and found that on the road leading from the second beach to the visitor center, the various models on both sides are very rough under closer inspection, and they look like half-finished products, as if they are sure that the players will not Will go the same way.

   So this is actually a dead case?

  That shouldn’t be the case. According to the “lack of funds” style of this module, then this second beach should also be deleted directly. It is impossible to stay here to occupy the “computing power” of the Cthulhu running game lobby.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at the static storm, and its first landing point on the resort island should be the "abandoned" beach.

  So, Liu Xing flew directly into the storm, and then found that there was a moon-shaped island under the cover of the storm, with some abandoned and collapsed buildings on it, and even a stranded broken ship.

I see.

   Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this to be another module!

   If nothing else happens, the players who were born on the second beach will somehow come to the second island, and discover this abandoned resort and the broken ship that ran aground for some reason! Then, due to the sudden rainstorm, you may have to hide in the resort area or a broken ship, or simply return to the original resort island.

  At this time, it is the turn of the Deep Diver to appear.
