Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 941 The Descendants of Ancient Martial Arts

   Just when Liu Xing and Li Hanxing were speechless, another young man walked into the convenience store.

   When the young man saw that Liu Xing and Li Hanxing were confronting, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Li Hanxing, what's going on?"

  Li Hanxing shook his head with a smile, pointed at Liu Xing and said, "It's okay, it's my own."

   "So that's the case, I'll just say why you suddenly opened the secret room time." The young man looked at Liu Xing and said, "Hello, my name is Sun Huiwen, and I'm Li Hanxing's partner."

   At this time, Li Hanxing suddenly patted his head, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Liu Xing.

   Liu Xing looked at the business card and found that the business card was very simple. Apart from Li Hanxing's name and phone number, there was only one company name - Baojiao Company.

   This doesn't look like a legitimate company.

   But Liu Xing guessed the identity of Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen.

   "Are you mercenaries?" Liu Xing went straight to the topic.

Sun Huiwen nodded and said, "Yes, we are mercenaries. If you have anything that you need us to solve, please call this number, we will arrive at the scene as soon as possible, but our The identity has been recognized by the Cthulhu running group game hall, so as long as you can pay enough price, we can directly mess with your mods and work for you."

   Sure enough, the situation of these two people is the same as that of Shi Zixuan.

In the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, in addition to Jiangyang thieves like Shi Zixuan, there is also a profession that can get rid of the restrictions of modules, that is, mercenaries like Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, because they are actually with Shi Zixuan. Xuan is almost the same, they can accept the employment of other players or NPCs, and players who want to hire them must already be in the module, so Li Hanxing and the two must need the approval of the Cthulhu running group game hall before they can enter at will.

However, it is not easy to become a mercenary recognized by the game hall of the Cthulhu running team, because the mercenaries in the game hall of the Cthulhu running team need to master a lot of professional skills, and also need to pass many difficult test modules, so in In Liu Xing's impression, the mercenaries in the Cthulhu running group game hall can be counted with one hand, but all of them are famous, so Liu Xing's impression does not have the two names of Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen.

Li Hanxing saw the doubts in Liu Xing's eyes, so he said with a smile: "Actually, we passed all the examinations in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Team before the Battle of Gongwu, and became a recognized mercenary, and then We rushed to the island country non-stop; but we players who are mercenaries will have a new mechanism, which can be understood as the reputation value in other games, each region and country are calculated separately, so our previous scope of activities It's in the Middle East, so our reputation is only higher in the Middle East."

"After arriving in the island country, we found that our reputation value in the island country was almost zero, because we didn't know much about the situation in the Middle East, but there were too many famous mercenary organizations in the Middle East, like Self-employed people like us who do odd jobs are actually very unpopular, so after we came to the island country, we have not received a single serious player business. Also doing the task, that is, helping people clean up the clerk of this convenience store."

Liu Xing nodded. Although he has not contacted other mercenary players before, Liu Xing has also heard some news about mercenary players. For example, mercenary players can accept tasks given by players and NPCs at the same time, but players There is no difference in priority between quests issued by NPCs, so mercenary players cannot ignore quests previously handed to them by NPCs for the quests issued by players.

   However, after the mercenary player accepts the task posted by the player, the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby will not assign the mercenary player the task posted by the NPC.

Finally, and the most important point, the NPC tasks released by the Cthulhu Running Group game hall to mercenary players are very interesting. They are determined according to the reputation value of their current location. Therefore, when the reputation value is relatively low, mercenary players are The NPC tasks that can be received are quite strange, such as finding a lost cat or dog, helping a truck driver deliver a truck of goods safely to the destination, or even pretending to be a bodyguard to help someone pack a big money.

However, no matter the quests issued by these NPCs seem strange at the beginning, they will get to the point at the end, and arrange for one or two mythical creatures to play with the mercenary players. For example, a lost cat or dog was caught by a ghoul. As a pet, the truck hit a passing shoggoth halfway through. As for someone who pretended to be a big money girl, the purpose was to make a girl, but the girl turned out to be a half-breed of deep diver.

   So now Liu Xing is actually very curious about what will happen to Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen when they teach the convenience store clerk this time. Could it be that the clerk who was locked in the lounge just now is a mythical creature?

   doesn't look like it either.

   Just when Liu Xing was thinking about the problem, the door of the lounge was suddenly smashed by someone from the inside.

   Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen looked at each other and took out their weapons from under the cashier.

   Among them, Li Hanxing made two short-pointed spears, while Sun Huiwen held a ring-headed sword.

   Liu Xing raised his brows. He didn't expect that Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were actually using cold weapons.

   It seems that both of them are melee masters.

   No matter how high the kung fu is, one shot will knock him down.

This sentence is not a joke, because with the emergence of hot weapons, the decline of cold weapons has become inevitable, because in general, hot weapons occupy the distance advantage, and in the case of bursts, they can instantly cover a piece of The most important thing is that the power of hot weapons is no worse than that of cold weapons.

   So unless you can get close, the cold weapon is a younger brother when facing the hot weapon, so even if the swordsmanship level of "Ishikawa Ling" has reached the world-class level, he still prefers to use firearms when fighting.

   Therefore, Liu Xing had to admire Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen for daring to use cold weapons in places like the Middle East where bullets were flying.

   "Liu Xing, just look at it, we will handle these small problems." Li Hanxing said confidently.

   At this moment, the lounge door was directly knocked open, and then a Kappa appeared in front of Liu Xing.

Kappa is a traditional mythical creature in the island country. It looks like a deep diver, but they have a body tissue similar to a bathing ring on their head, which can store water on the head of the kappa, and as long as the head of the kappa is made If the water above it disappears, then the kappa is finished.

   Judging from the clerk's uniform on this Kappa, it should be the clerk just now.

   Kappa looked at Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen angrily, and rushed over without hesitation.

   However, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were not in a hurry. First, Li Hanxing stabbed Kappa in the eye with a quick and precise shot, so that Kappa quickly changed shape and avoided the shot.

   Before Kappa could take back his figure, Sun Huiwen slashed at Kappa's left arm with a knife, which made Kappa roll to the ground, only to escape Sun Huiwen's knife.

   But at this time, Li Hanxing launched another attack, picked up two short-pointed spears and stabbed Kappa's left and right shoulders. This time, Kappa, who had no time to dodge, was directly pinned to the floor.

   Looking at the wailing Kappa, Sun Huiwen unceremoniously slashed down. . . Then the kappa was silent.

   I have to say that the cooperation between Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen is really good, and this Kappa who was able to fight has no power to fight back.

You must know that in the Cthulhu running group game hall, it is not easy to fight the opponent without fighting back, because this requires your various attribute values ​​to reach a certain height, and in the judgment It's time to be lucky enough.

   Of course, if it is more and less, the relevant conditions will be relaxed a lot, but there will still be certain requirements, especially for the tacit understanding of the players.

   Therefore, Liu Xing felt that if he and Zhang Jingxu and others used cold weapons to deal with this Kappa, it would definitely not be as easy as Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen.

Therefore, Liu Xing said with admiration: "Your kung fu is really good, no wonder you can pass the test module in the game hall of the Cthulhu running group, but I heard that less than one thousandth of the players can pass the test module. ."

  Sun Huiwen smeared the kappa blood on the knife on its clerk's uniform, and then said with a smile: "Of course, Li Hanxing and I both come from the legendary Guwu family in the real world..."

Li Hanxing looked at Sun Huiwen helplessly, and hurriedly interrupted: "Stop, stop, Sun Huiwen, if you want to brag, just brag about yourself, don't take me with you, I'm just an ordinary martial arts enthusiast at most. , I went to the training class to learn martial arts for a few years when I was a child, if I hadn’t been lucky enough to get the initial character card, I wouldn’t have gotten this character card from the Count’s family.”

Sun Huiwen sighed and said with hatred that iron is not steel: "Li Hanxing, why do you like to tear down my stage so much? Shouldn't we be the closest brothers? Well, I admit that I was just talking nonsense, In the real world, Li Hanxing and I are good friends who grew up together, and we also went to the children's martial arts training class together, but in this parallel world, we are genuine descendants of ancient martial arts."

  The descendant of ancient martial arts?

   Liu Xing nodded, it seems that both Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen had good luck, and they were able to be assigned to character cards such as the descendants of ancient martial arts.

   You must know that in the Cthulhu running group game hall, the descendant of ancient martial arts is definitely a rare creature, because in the world view of Cthulhu mythology, ancient martial arts has become a highly polarized skill.

In the Cthulhu running group game hall, most of the skills have only two effects, or to put it simply, they either succeed or fail; if they are subdivided into the damage skills used in battle, then after success, they will be used in a Take one of the specified value ranges as its damage value.

   But the ancient martial arts skills are different, because its damage value range is very large.

For example, Liu Xing once saw the introduction of "True Tai Chi Chuan" released by a player - after the skill is successfully judged, the number obtained by subtracting the judgment value from your skill value will be used to make another judgment, this time The judgment will determine the damage range of this skill.

  From 1d2-1 to 10d4, there are 40 different damage ranges in total.

   So the ancient martial arts skills are either to kill the opponent with one punch, or to massage the opponent with one punch, but the possibility of the latter is higher, because it is not easy to increase the value of the ancient martial arts skills.

Therefore, the evaluation of the descendants of ancient martial arts in the game hall of the Cthulhu running group is very polarized-the powerful can single out any lower-level mythical creature (except for the mythical creature that is immune to physical damage, such as the invisible son), while the strength is average. It may become a funny character, that is, a set of operations is as fierce as a tiger, and the damage is only 1 at a glance.

   So from the current situation, Sun Huiwen and Li Hanxing, the two descendants of ancient martial arts, are quite strong, at least they can kill the mythical creature like Kappa with cooperation.

   You must know that mythical creatures like Kappa are not easy to solve, because Kappa has a certain divinity.

It has also been mentioned before that players divide the mythical creatures in the game hall of Cthulhu into three types. The first is the mythical creature in "Cthulhu Mythology", which is the original mythical creature; These are the traditional mythical creatures that have been handed down in the myths and legends of various countries and regions; finally, some mythical creatures originally created by the Cthulhu Running Group game hall for the module plot, such as in the Panlong Town module pig butcher.

   Among them, the most interesting is the traditional mythical creatures, because there are often many sources of traditional mythical creatures, and even several adjacent countries or regions will appear mythological creatures with the same image ability but completely different origins.

  For example, the legendary nine-tailed fox has several origins in China, such as Qingqiuguo, foxes mature when they are old, Daji, etc. In the island country, the Yuzaoqian said and Inari God said.

Therefore, the game hall of the Cthulhu running group has some headaches when building this type of mythical creature, because different sayings will make the origin of the mythical creatures different. For example, if the fox is old and mature, then the nine-tailed fox is a It's just an ordinary monster, but if you use what Daji said, then the nine-tailed fox will be related to the powerful ancient goddess Wa in China.

The same is true for Kappa, because Kappa is considered to be the first water ghost from China, and it gradually evolved into the unique image of Kappa when it was spread to the island country. Therefore, the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group is a combination of the island country’s Kappa and Huaxia. The water ghosts are divided into categories.
