Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2234 A city with the same name

 “Moonlight celebration?”

Liu Xing, who was still glaring at the eagle, said without looking back: "Since this celebration is related to the blessings of the gods, then we players must join in the fun."

Dong Qing, who was sitting aside, nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too, because according to Miao Fei and the others, miracles happen every year during this moon night celebration. For example, last year a one-armed hero got With the blessing of the Moon Beast, he created a new arm out of thin air. However, this one-armed hero has become accustomed to living with only one arm, and he also created a set of one-armed sword techniques, so this The one-armed hero is a blessing and a curse, falling from a quasi-second-rate master to the peak of a third-rate master, so there are rumors that he is debating whether to cut off his arm again."

 “Oh? Is there such an operation?”

Liu Xing said without looking back: "But this is normal, because habits are not easy to change, and this person is already used to a life with only one arm, so suddenly returning to a life with two hands will make him On the contrary, it will not adapt to it, and at the same time, the center of gravity of the body will also undergo some subtle changes; I used to have a classmate who was short-sighted. He was very talented in shooting games, so he was called the number one sharpshooter in our class. However, he was He had myopia surgery during a summer vacation, and after taking off his glasses, he began to have trouble shooting accurately, and his final level was just a little higher than ordinary people like us."

"Well, I have a deep understanding of this, because I have also had myopia surgery in the real world, so I also feel that when I play shooting games, I have a feeling that I can't hit where I point. It's like that The classic fishing knowledge is that there is a certain error between the fish seen by the naked eye and its specific position in the water; but I think your classmate, the leader, as a game master, should be used to one-shot headshots. So even a tiny error will prevent him from hitting the enemy."

Dong Qing said with a smile: "Leader, you should also know that many Olympic champions in shooting competitions are short-sighted, so they aim based on their feelings. Of course, even if their eyesight is normal or even better, When people look at a target ten meters away, they can roughly distinguish the different scoring areas of the target, but when facing a target twenty or even fifty meters away, the target is just a black hole. point, so the quality of your vision doesn’t matter at all to the outcome.”

“Yes, my classmate also said that when playing games, he often decides the timing of pressing the left mouse button based on his feeling.”

Liu Xing took a sip of water and continued: "In fact, I think so too, because when I play shooting games, I sometimes follow my feelings. When I feel it, people will kill people, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas. If I don’t feel it, I can’t hit it no matter how hard I hit; so according to the speed of our convoy, we should be able to reach Yueshan City where the Moon Night Celebration is held tomorrow, right? But I seem to remember that there is more than one Yueshan City in the New Dragon Empire this time, right?”

Dong Qing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, because the Moon God has shown his abilities in many places, there are Yue Mountains related to the Moon God in many places in the New Dragon Empire, so the nearby city is called Yueshan City! Of course, some Yueshan City should actually be called Yueshan Town, such as the place we can go to tomorrow, but because the moon **** likes to join in the fun, Yueshan Town will naturally become Yueshan City; if everything goes well , according to our current traveling speed, we should arrive near Yueshan City by tomorrow afternoon, and by then we will be able to participate in the Moon Night Celebration after we set up camp."

"Oh? Then this may be another test given to us by the Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall."

Liu Xing said with certainty: "This is called a sugar-coated cannonball! Because this Moon Night Celebration may be one in a million for NPCs, but for us players, it is only one in a hundred at most. Of course, I think we still have one-twentieth. probability, because we only need to make a judgment at the Moon Night Celebration, and when the judgment result reaches a great success, we will receive the blessing of the Moon God; but, there will definitely be many NPCs and players coming to participate in the Moon Night Celebration tomorrow. Then it is inevitable that there will be some people with ulterior motives who want to find another way to get something visible and tangible. For example, the old cows in our fleet are still worth a lot of money. As for the carriages, they are definitely more valuable. ”

“Then as long as we leave a few people to guard the convoy, there should be no problem, right?”

Dong Qing wanted to say something more, but he suddenly realized a problem, that is, who should be the candidates to stay in the team?

When Liu Xing saw that Dong Qing had been silent, he realized that he had thought of something, so he spoke: "Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, ninety-nine percent of people will not choose to give up. After all, this is an opportunity to obtain blessings from the gods, and there will be no side effects in doing so! More importantly, in a lottery like this, it seems that everyone has a chance to win the jackpot, as long as the final result has not been determined, Then everyone will think that they may be the last lucky one! After all, everyone has a sense of luck, especially when faced with this kind of lottery that has advantages and disadvantages.”

"So who should we let stay in the team? This is a very troublesome question, because I can designate a few people to stay in the team, but if these people don't really want to stay, then they may leave without authorization. , or people are in Cao camp and their hearts are in Han, in short, our convoy is still in danger; according to the current situation, if our convoy loses a few oxen carts, then we have to give up something, and the lost oxen If there are a few more cars, our traveling speed will be much slower unless we split the convoy into two."

“Yes, this is indeed a problem, because this is the human heart.”

Dong Qing sighed, shook his head and said, "If I were asked to stay and guard the convoy, I would be a little uncomfortable, especially when a player in the convoy was blessed by the moon god. I would think that if I went to participate in the Moon Night Celebration, would it be possible for me to receive the blessing of the Moon God like this player, or even replace it? In this case, I would not be able to understand my thoughts."

"That's right, so we have to find a way to determine who will stay in the team in advance before participating in the Moon Night Celebration! And from a probability perspective, the probability of our players receiving blessings at the Moon Night Celebration is definitely higher than these NPCs are much higher, so if possible, I still hope that we players can go to the Moon Night Celebration!"

Liu Xing thought for a while and continued: "So Dong Qing, you go back later and have a chat with Miao Fei to see if he has any good suggestions for the Moon Night celebration. The focus is naturally on the candidates who will stay in the team. ! If possible, Wu Ji's subordinates are the most suitable candidates, because they are also capable of some boxing and kicking, and although they have joined the team in name, they still only listen to Wu Ji's orders, so if we If Wu Ji can order these people to stay, even if they want to hate them, they are very Wu Ji, and this is the best solution I can think of now."

"I see."

Dong Qing nodded and said: "But, we have to arrange a few more people to stay behind the convoy, so as to ensure that the two teams can supervise each other to prevent some people..."

Before Dong Qing finished speaking, he felt himself shaking involuntarily.

earthquake?

As a native of Shu, Liu Xing has experienced countless physical earthquakes, so he wanted to avoid it subconsciously, but he immediately realized that he still needed to keep an eye on the eagle in front of him, and the countdown at this time was also The last hour has come!

 Are we going to waste all our efforts?

Liu Xing calmed down instantly and continued to stare at the eagle in front of him, because Liu Xing knew that although the earthquake was sudden and the earthquake was very strong, it was within the acceptable range, so he was on the carriage. There is nothing to worry about. After all, there are no high mountains nearby, so there is no need to worry about falling rocks!

 So as long as there is no unsolvable situation such as ground cracking, this earthquake will not cause any harm to you! At this moment, the earthquake stopped suddenly.

"Um?"

After coming back to his senses, Dong Qing frowned and realized that this earthquake was somewhat similar to the "earthquake" he experienced in Philadelphia, and he also offended Liu Xing's words that that "earthquake" was actually caused by It was caused by a monster similar to an earth-burrowing insect.

 So the earthquake this time also had the same cause? Because in "Dong Qing's" memory, the area he is currently in is not an area with active geological activities, so "Dong Qing" has experienced one or two serious earthquakes.

At this time, Liu Xing also realized this, so he said: "This earthquake came quickly and went away faster. The most important thing is that it was not excessive at all. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that this earthquake was also caused by that one." The cause of the Warcraft is just that according to Governor Han, this Warcraft should not appear here at this time, unless it is the Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall targeting us! But this is not important anymore. What is important is to determine the current status of the team. What's the situation, is anyone injured?"

 Dong Qing understood what Liu Xing meant, so he immediately got out of the car to check the situation.

After a while, Dong Qing came back and said: "It's okay, no one in the convoy was injured, and the mood of the cows was relatively stable, and they were not frightened and ran around."

"That's good, it seems that this is the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall targeting me, trying to take this opportunity to make me waste all my previous efforts, because I have less than an hour left to tame this eagle, so if I just If you are scared, then the countdown will be reset! Fortunately, I am also a Shu native who has experienced hundreds of battles, so this little movement does not scare me."

Just when Liu Xing wanted to say something more, he heard Schiller's voice.

“Leader, up front... Uh, what’s going on?”

Dong Qing knew that it was difficult for Liu Xing to talk back at this time, so he helped explain: "The leader is currently cooking the eagle, and it has already reached the last hour, so you can't take your eyes away from the eagle now. Open it, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted! In short, Schiller, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, the alliance leader will definitely be able to hear you."

 “Oh, so that’s it.”

Schiller nodded and said: "The situation is like this, wasn't I scouting the road for the convoy in front? So when I and others were passing a bridge, a sudden earthquake made that bridge history, because we were crossing the bridge. I felt that the bridge was shaking unnaturally; in short, the bridge is gone, and the river must be more than five meters wide and more than two meters deep, because half of the bridge deck enters the water vertically. Finally a head popped up.”

"Is it more than two meters deep? Then it will not be easy to cross the river."

Liu Xing frowned and said: "After all, our convoy is mainly based on ox carts, and it can only cross the river one meter deep at most. Therefore, we must either build a temporary wooden bridge or take a long way to cross the river elsewhere." .”

“There is actually a stone bridge near this bridge, but this stone bridge can only be described as shaky, because there are obvious large cracks on the bridge, and the columns are missing arms and legs.”

Schiller sighed and said: "So if we cross the river from this bridge, we can only let the oxcarts pass one by one, and we have to be prepared that the oxcarts will fall into the water along with the bridge. Possibility... All in all, I personally don't recommend that teams pass through this bridge, even if it can theoretically save a lot of time."

time?

Liu Xing immediately thought of something and said: "Dong Qing, go discuss this matter with Miao Fei and see if he knows if there are any bridges nearby that can cross the river and the time it takes to cross the bridge. Let's see. Let’s see if this will affect our participation in tomorrow’s moonlight celebration.”

Dong Qing didn’t say much and immediately ran to find Miao Fei, while Schiller stayed and chatted with Liu Xing about some details.

Originally, Schiller had already crossed the river, but he quickly swam over in order to notify Liu Xing and others. As a result, he discovered a problem when he swam over, that is, the density of fish in this section of the river seemed to be a bit high. , because when he went down to the river, he felt like he had jumped into a pool full of ocean balls.

"Although the broken bridge that fell will block the river, it will not block so many fish schools here, so we have reason to suspect that these fish schools gather here for other reasons. For example, there is a fish school not far away. Looks like there's something wrong with the reeds."

Schiller said seriously: "This patch of reeds appears very abruptly and blocks two-thirds of the river. What's more important is that the color of some of the reeds is abnormal."
