Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1993 White River City is in Operation

   Liu Xing and the others turned their heads and saw Baihecheng standing outside the door carrying large and small bags.

"I just came back, and I heard you guys arrange me behind my back, and I kindly brought you back a lot of souvenirs... Sigh, you guys are really hurting my heart." Said sadly.

Liu Xing shook his head with a smile, stepped forward to help Baihe City put down all the things, and asked, "Aren't you in charge of various affairs of the firm in Far West City, why are you involved with Liangcheng's affairs again? And go to set up a street stall to fool others?"

At this time, Yin En also stood up and said: "Yes, our alliance should not be short of this amount of money, so Lao Bai, are you ruining the reputation of our alliance for such a small profit? Then you are a bit ulterior motives." Ah? Tell me, are you an undercover agent?"

Being beaten up by Yin En like this, the expression on Baihecheng's face became speechless, "Hey, hey, Yin En, don't talk nonsense here, why did I become an undercover agent? And didn't you all find out about me? Have you worked hard?"

As soon as Baihecheng said this, Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh? So you have already triggered the achievement of being a good teacher? That's why you arranged people to set up stalls in various places. If someone asks why, Then they can stand up and teach probability knowledge?"

Baihecheng nodded, sat down and said: "That's right, just like what you said, Liu Xing, I met a few passers-by on the way to Far West City, they are the sons of the president of a certain business firm in Far West City and Nephew, I went to Boyang City two days ago to give some gifts to Guo Er, who just became the lord of the city; after all, Boyang City is also a big customer of Far West City, and basically Boyang City needs to buy things from outside, except for some local specialties Everything else was purchased from Far West City, so Guo Er has received many merchants from Far West City during this time."

"So I saw that they were from a certain firm in a certain Far West City, so I wanted to make friends with them, and wanted to inquire about the situation in Far West City from them, and then they were impressed by my rich knowledge, but this is also very difficult. It's normal, after all, our modern people may not be as knowledgeable as these ancient NPCs in a certain item, but they are definitely superior in the breadth of knowledge, so if I can't bluff them in this situation Then I don’t need to call myself a player.”

   Liu Xing and others nodded with a smile, because this is indeed a fact.

  For a person who has traveled to ancient times, you can bully others with little knowledge, but you can't underestimate the intelligence level of others, otherwise you will be the only one who will be unlucky in the end.

At this time, Baihecheng continued: "So for these young people in their teens and twenties, I am a great talent who knows astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and some knowledge of the world in the middle, so these guys regard me as a Good brother, you know everything I ask, and you can talk endlessly, of course, as long as it doesn’t involve their family’s business secrets; so I got a lot of information about Far West City, which is very helpful for me to gain a firm foothold in Far West City Very helpful, so I invited these people to my place, I made them some so-called special dishes, to put it bluntly, those home-cooked dishes we eat in the real world, after all, cooking techniques are simpler these days .”

"As a result, after we ate and drank well, we started chatting all over the world again, and then we talked about a very classic question-the round sky and the earth. This is the most famous hypothesis in our ancient times, right? After all, for the people of this era It is still too difficult to determine the shape of the earth at the level of science and technology; but it is easy for us to solve, so I took out the same classic sailing solution, that is, we can see the shape of the earth by the sea. When sailing at a distance, the first thing you see is the mast of the sailing ship, which proves that the so-called sea level still has a range, so it is suggested to change it to the sea level."

"However, I have overlooked a problem here, that is, those NPCs have not been to the seaside. After all, our place is still a little far away from the sea. If there is nothing to do, no one will go to see the sea, so this is deception. Seeing As a matter of fact, they naturally had some disbelief in my sailing theory; I also drank a little wine at the time, so I was a little overwhelmed. The long way to prove my statement, and I ended up triggering the achievement you are talking about."

Baihecheng took a sip of water and continued: "As you said just now, this achievement is a good helper for us to collect points, so I arranged for a few players to test the triggering efficiency of this achievement and what level it is. After all, some knowledge points are not clear to the ancients, but they also know the general idea, so unless this kind of knowledge point is relatively advanced, otherwise there is no way to obtain achievements, such as the probability science involved in the color ball game. .”

"In fact, it won't be long before those NPCs will be able to find out that the color ball game is more about losing than winning, and after ruling out the possibility of our cheating, they will realize that this is a problem with the color ball itself, but they will think about it for a while. I don’t understand why four, three, and two often appear, because in their cognition, three, three, and three should be the most; so after doing a few experiments, I found that this probability is the best knowledge to trigger difficult levels and be a teacher It’s on point, and it’s more convenient to explain, especially if you have props on hand.”

"So, I discussed it with a few players under me, and after confirming their ideas, I arranged for these people to go all the way north to pass the news to various cities, that is, players like Zhang Jingxu who stayed in the sect. , so that you can do more things in the sect, and earn a little achievement points by the way; and street tricks like the ball game are also popular for the NPCs in this martial arts mod, but what about ordinary NPCs? , They don’t have much curiosity, and they don’t want to solve this game directly, after all, what they think about is how to win and how to make money.”

"So according to the reply I received, those NPCs who took the initiative to ask for advice on the color ball game, except for a small number of gamblers A who are jealous of losing, or gamblers B who want to understand the principle and set up their own stalls , are basically people with some status and ability, and most of them are young disciples from various sects; firstly, these young people are more playful, and secondly, they are more curious and have good understanding, so They are more willing to think about why this is, but limited by their cognitive level, it is difficult to figure out the principle of this color ball game by themselves.”

Baihecheng's words reminded Liu Xing of a past event, that is, he fell into a dead end in his thinking during a certain exam, and he couldn't understand a question no matter what, and there were many students around him who did the same; Then after the teacher's explanation, other students have understood the question, but I still can't turn the corner, and I can't figure out the answer to this question. . . As a result, it took a whole morning like this, and Liu Xing suddenly figured out the crux of the problem at that time, and then he couldn't help laughing bitterly, but he was a bit stupid in the end.

So just like Yu Lei and Xia Fei just now, many people can realize that there is a problem with the color ball game, but most of them will not study what the problem is, and most of the rest will not Consider the answer to this question.

After all, people are lazy, especially when a group of people get together, everyone is counting on others to solve the problem, for example, when someone cuts in line, if no one speaks up, then everyone will be concerned about it. Silence, but when one person speaks up and blames the jumpers, more people join in.

  Of course, for the color ball game, most people’s mentality is more like a research group in college. Everyone thinks how to be lazy, so it’s best for others to sign the report after it’s done.

  Those who can stand up at this time are probably capable and not ashamed to ask. They are willing to lower themselves for an answer. After all, those players who set up stalls may be charlatans to them.

"So these players also got to know a lot of capable NPCs. These NPCs all have a very good characteristic - knowledge of goods. After they figured out what is called probability, they all realized that this thing is not simple, so they are very interested in those NPCs. Players who can answer their own questions are more respected. After all, if there is one sentence, the master is a teacher. These NPCs are still willing to admit the gold content of these knowledge points; so, the players I sent out not only earned some money. Pocket money, I got a lot of achievement points, and the most important thing is to get to know those NPCs who are capable and have certain potential, which is equivalent to expanding my network, and I can still ask for a cup of tea when I go to the territory of these NPCs in the future. "

Baihecheng said with a smile: "For example, the few young people I met at the beginning, they all regard me as an idol now, because in their opinion, I really know everything. It's because I can occasionally throw out some points of view that go beyond their cognition and can also be proved by evidence, which makes them admire me; My abbot, just pointing at something without talking, and those young people can make up a lot of things to reflect my wisdom, so now I have a few more loyal fans, and they are even willing to reveal the details of their business. some information."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Baihe City's ability to fool people to play a role in this martial arts module, but this is quite normal, because most people still respect knowledge, especially those who know everything. , People who can achieve logical self-consistency even when they are fooling around, were regarded as prophets in the ancient tribal period.

   "Wait, by the way, haven't the people from this firm left Far West City yet? I heard that most of the people from Far West City have already left." Yin En asked suddenly.

Baihe City nodded, and suddenly said seriously: "That's right, the current Far West City has indeed left many people, and the number of people still living in the city is only about 30% compared to before, including The young people I mentioned, because the firm they belong to is one of the earliest firms in Far West City, they are the locals in our mouth, and the prototype of this firm is an inn. There are several teahouses and restaurants, so I naturally met a lot of businessmen who came to do business and talk about business. I also saw that these businessmen can change one tael of silver into five taels of silver, or even ten taels of silver, just by talking and laughing. Two silver coins! Of course, if it becomes more, you may never see this customer again."

"Therefore, the founder of this firm was finally persuaded by a friend and decided to set up a firm to make money. In the end, he suffered a big loss due to poor management and had to sell the firm to his relatives at a low price. It was the grandfathers of those young people, and then the firm entered a stage of steady operation, basically without any major problems, and the money they earned was not too much, but it was not a lot; so for these young people, My grandfather was a bit too steady, or he didn’t have any enterprising spirit, so when they chatted with me, they mentioned what they would do if they became the person in charge of the company.”

   "It's a good thing that young people are motivated, and they don't feel any pressure now, so they are more willing to make big moves, but it is also easy to lose money and pay tuition fees."

Ding Kun sighed and said: "I have a relative whose family is in trade. After all, you all know that my hometown is in Ice City, and it is quite convenient to do trade there, but you should also know that if you do trade, you are worried about being caught." Lie, because this is a lack of people and money; as a result, my relative has been stable for decades without any mistakes and saved a lot of money for the family. Let your son take care of the company instead of him, and you should have guessed what happened later, right?"

   "Empty people and money?"

Looking at Zhang Jingxu who cooperated very well with him, Ding Kun nodded and said: "That's right, people and money are empty. He thought he was doing a big business that lost money in the sky, so he secretly carried out it to make his father happy, but he didn't expect the other party He disappeared with the goods! Although his family did not go bankrupt because of this, it was seriously damaged. In the end, he had to sell the company because the old man was so angry that he could only retire directly. His son was also labeled as an embarrassment, and he had already received a lot of blows, so he could only eat and wait to die in the end."
