Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2588 Old friends again

"You're here, Liu Xing."

Um?

Liu Xing was shocked when Master Luo opened his mouth, because Liu Xing had never thought that Master Luo actually knew him. After all, according to Liu Xing's previous guess, Master Luo should be a special one in this event. It's just an NPC, and the previous kp Maple Leaf didn't mention anything special about Master Luo, so this Master Luo wouldn't be a more powerful existence than kp Maple Leaf, right?

wrong!

Liu Xing suddenly thought of another possibility, that is, Lord Luo, as the master of this siege grid, or even the entire grid array, might know his true identity, because this is the only authority he has.

What's more, according to previous speculations, the designer of this grid array may be a game planner, so from a game perspective, it is possible that Mr. Luo could see the words "Liu Xing" on his head, because This is my character name.

"Hahaha, in order to enable you to win the final victory, I spent a lot of effort to protect you! You must know that it normally takes an hour or two for these NPCs to enter the grid, but in order to Avoid those players who have not surrendered to you to eliminate you, just Deliberately let these NPCs enter the venue in advance to force those players to temporarily join your team. In this way, all the players who are qualified to participate in the game are under your team. Then they must know some ways of the world and cannot be casual. I eliminated your apparent immediate boss."

As soon as Mr. Luo said this, Liu Xing was shocked again, because it was not difficult to tell from his words that he was not an NPC. After all, NPCs would not casually say the words "player" and "NPC". Two words, and he has the ability to let NPCs enter the scene in advance to advance the plot, which means that he must be at least a kp!

So who is he?

Liu Xing subconsciously thought of one person - Ao Guanhai, because KP Maple Leaf had already joined the Cthulhu Run Team game lobby as a KP during the closed beta period. He didn't even know that there was someone like Luo Ye in his hiding place. Number one, that means Master Luo is more powerful than kp Maple Leaf and you!

Of course, in addition to this, there is another possibility: four words - deus ex machina, which means that Mr. Luo should not have appeared in this event, or that "Master Luo" is one of the people in this event. NPC, it's just that something is controlling "Master Luo" to talk to him at this time.

If it's the latter, who would it be?

Liu Xing immediately thought of Ao Guanhai, firstly because Ao Guanhai did have this ability, and secondly because Ao Guanhai had a reason to help him at this time, but the most important thing was that Ao Guanhai was in the martial arts model. He has not contacted himself since the group started, which makes Liu Xing feel a little strange, because for such an important module like the martial arts module, Ao Guanhai must have tried to contact him and give him some tips, so that he can Maximize your own interests in this martial arts module.

As a result, Ao Guanhai has not contacted him so far, so Liu Xingdu suspects that Ao Guanhai should be constraining each other with his brothers and sisters at this time, because they all want to contact their partners and let them They can get more benefits in this martial arts module!

But there is a saying that some things may only weigh three or two if they are not weighed, but if they are weighed, they cannot be weighed down by a thousand kilograms of weight. Therefore, Ao Guanhai and the others know each other's thoughts, so they all want to Seize the opponent's weaknesses and use them to attack. After all, when you can't effectively improve yourself, then weakening your opponent can be considered an improvement!

Ever since, Ao Guanhai had to play some tricks with his brothers and sisters. After all, this was also a high-risk but high-reward challenge for them, because as long as they bypassed their brothers and sisters and cooperated If you get in touch, it is equivalent to allowing your collaborators to start running in advance.

Therefore, in the "main film" of the martial arts module, Ao Guanhai and others cannot take action at will. After all, everyone is there to watch, and the plot flow of such a module should be with Ao Guanhai and others. Go through it again, so they all know what will happen at what time, and whether this is a good opportunity for them to contact someone.

In this way, even the resourceful Ao Guanhai, who is known as the smartest among the brothers and sisters, can't find any chance to take action, because some things cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and it doesn't know if it has any chance at this time. It's time to chat with it. After all, you can't call someone when they are in danger of death and ask them to talk about life and ideals with you, right?

However, in this event, because the players all used temporary character cards, and the dreamland where this event is located is also a place that Ao Guanhai and others cannot completely control, so Ao Guanhai and others There is a lot of room for operation, and the best way at this time is to use a machine Mechanical God, directly control an important NPC in the event to contact your collaborators. In this way, you can also put a layer of vest on yourself. If something goes wrong, you can immediately choose to release the control. At that time, as long as you don't If one person comes and gets the stolen goods, then you can escape unscathed.

So is this Mr. Luo really Ao Guanhai?

"What are you thinking about? You don't think I'm one of those **** from Ao Guanhai, do you?"

Mr. Luo smiled, shook his head and said: "If nothing else, you should have met kp Maple Leaf just now, right? Ye Zi and you, no, it should be that you used to have a lot of conflicts, but it's just It's just a small fight, and we have something to say. , if I am asked to stand up and say something fair, then I think Liu Xing may have made more mistakes than Ye Zi, because back then you could only be said to be "yes" in terms of Cthulhu Team Games and Cthulhu Mythology. A cloud player, and Ye Zi is an expert at dropping books.”

"In terms of the Cthulhu Run game, dropping the book bag is not a bad thing. After all, the rule book of the Cthulhu Run game has hundreds of pages, and the content involved in it is really complicated, such as what are the characteristics of a certain profession? Professional skills, how much damage a certain weapon does, this is not a Most people can memorize it, and even if some KPs temporarily read the rule book, it will take a long time to confirm the correctness of certain information. Therefore, in that chat group, Ye Zi is called the Cthulhu version of Bai Xiaosheng! He is a man who you can ask any questions you encounter while running a group.”

"So Liu Xing, as a cloud player, when you meet a man like Ye Zi who knows the rule book by heart and can ask him no questions, it is normal for you to have different horoscopes, so between you and him It's normal to have conflicts. What's more, Ye Zi at that time was also considered to be by you. You were brought into the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, so you have to bear some responsibility, right? Alas, Ye Zi is also the unluckiest and luckiest character among us, because he was already the Life is short, so it’s a good thing to be able to join the Cthulhu Game Hall and gain eternal life.”

When Liu Xing heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because the KP Maple Leaf mentioned by Luo Ye sounded more and more like the mod author named "Final Loss"? If I remember correctly, this person seemed to have suffered a serious illness and died soon. Therefore, in the dream, or in the past, I seemed to have visited him once, and then nothing happened again. So if Mr. Luo said If the words were true, Liu Xing felt that it was possible that he had brought Zhongshu into the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, and Zhongshu had also renamed himself kp Maple Leaf at this time.

As for why Zhongshu did not become a player after joining the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, but directly became a KP, Liu Xing estimated that it might be because the Cthulhu Running Group game hall was still a newly established grassroots team at that time, so It is not like today's Cthulhu Running Game Hall, which can provide players with a lot of additional protections. For example, just spending some points can cure all diseases and make you healthy in the real world.

Therefore, after entering the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby, the final loser could not be a player like others because his body could no longer hold on in the real world. Maybe in the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby If he can't participate in a few modules, he will die. At that time, it will only let him experience how his favorite board game can become an extremely real game.

Ever since, I finally became a KP in the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby, and also worked part-time as a module author. . . Liu Xing even suspected that Final Loser might be the first mod author in the Cthulhu Running Team game hall, because the modules he experienced in those dreams that Liu Xing had had are all very different in Liu Xing’s eyes today. As for the minor issue, I feel like I don’t know whether to say they are semi-finished products or whether these modules are all generated by AI.

The most important thing is that the plot flow of these modules seems to be very short. It basically takes one or two hours to form a group, and there are no side plots interspersed in the middle. As for the main plot, it is only one way to the end. The kind of experienced players who only need to read the module introduction will know what will happen next, and they can also tell at a glance who are the good guys and who are the bad guys after the main NPCs appear.

To use an analogy that may not be appropriate, if the Cthulhu Running Game Hall at this time is CS, then the Cthulhu Running Game Hall back then was CF, because CF can be said to be based on CS. A lot of subtractions have been made, the most obvious of which is that the recoil and ballistic distribution of CF are very friendly to novice players. They basically refer to the laser gun where to hit, and there is no need to consider the pressure of the gun, and it is also You can run and fight at the same time.

So at the beginning, players who are used to playing CS will feel like gods descending to earth when they play CF. If there is divine help, but after playing for a while, many people will find it too boring. Because everything is a little too simple. . . Unless you really like to abuse food, this unchallenging game is really not fun.

Therefore, Liu Xing now feels that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall back then really needed talents like Zhongshu to provide players with more challenging modules, especially when these players all have super character cards. Under such circumstances, ordinary modules can't really cure these players.

So Liu Xing suddenly realized why he had conflicts with kp Maple Leaf back then. It might be because he, a cloud player, put forward some questions and suggestions that made kp Maple Leaf feel mentally retarded, just like the classic joke - I think the Rockets It would be better to use water-washed coal as fuel.

Comparing oneself with others, Liu Xing also encountered a similar situation when he was an intern in the hospital. That is, those patients would always say some questions and suggestions that they thought were smart and difficult for you to answer, such as taking medicine only twice a day. If I take it three times, will the disease heal faster?

If a friend asked this question, Liu Xing would definitely point out the logo of the Shaw Brothers movie very kindly, but when facing patients, he would have no choice but to explain to them that there is an idiom called "too much is not enough".

In addition, if kp Maple Leaf is really the final loser, it can also explain why the final loser has not written any new modules in recent years, because he has not been able to retreat for many years.

But then again, since I was just a cloud player back then, it’s no wonder that when I rejoined the Cthulhu Run game lobby, I simply changed to a worse persona, that is, a pure new player.

After all, cloud players still know some bad jokes and the most basic knowledge points, while new players who are purely cute may even pronounce "Cthulhu" as "Crusu", as long as it is not Deluxe.

"Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Liu Xing, you really have to find a way to get Ye Zi to leave the dreamland, so that he can have a chance to help you in the future."

Mr. Luo sighed and said with a wry smile: "Since you haven't recovered your past memories yet, it means that your current situation is not that bad. But this is also normal. If you can get your memories back, If so, it means that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall at this time has been occupied by Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggo. Lars came to the door. After all, Ao Guanhai and others are not vegetarians! But having said that, it is a miracle that you can still enter the Cthulhu Running Group game hall now. I thought you would always enter Cthulhu! The blacklist of Lu Pao Tuan Game Hall, because your arrival is not good news for some people.”

"But your arrival is good news for us. After all, we thought we would be left in the dust forever, becoming a junk file in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, waiting to be swept into the trash can one day... It seems that besides me and Ye Zi, there are many old friends who have woken up, because my place is already considered a remote place. You have one and only one chance to come here. If I can't get you in, I'm afraid I I’m going to stay here for the rest of my life.”
