I'm not Doraemon, I'm just a salesman

"Nimfu-chan, good morning~"

Just when Nimfu was interpreting Shinomiya Kaguya's strange eyes, Fujiwara Chika next to her suddenly jumped over with a rippling smile.

Facing this ambitious woman, Nimfu took half a step back, disgusted and said expressionlessly

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"You are so forgetful~~~I am the first person you talk to in this school."

Fujiwara Chika's expression remained unchanged, and she rushed over and hugged Nimfu.

The soft touch rippled across Nimfu's cheeks, and an instinctive unpleasant feeling made her pull away without hesitation.

"leave me alone!!!"

It can be said that he spoke very rudely, even very coldly.

If it were anyone else, it might have been hurt - but this woman named Chika Fujiwara would always have a missing bone in her brain.It could be said that he is familiar with himself, that he is enthusiastic, or that he is simply a guy with extremely low emotional intelligence.

"Hey, don't be shy~~~ Come, let me introduce you to the 'big shots' in our school~~~"

Fujiwara Chika continued as if she hadn't heard anything, dragging Nimfu to introduce the remaining two people to her. As she said, the student union organization was indeed considered a 'big shot' among the school's student class.

Is it the so-called 'ruling class'?

It’s not clear, but when the Silver Guild President was coy in front of Nimfu, and then asked her very embarrassedly for advice on how to learn, Nimfu suddenly had an idea.

She could actually leave impatiently, but if she did, she would be isolating herself too much.

The purpose of Qiming sending her here is to let her further learn about human sociality. Since this purpose comes from the master's order, Nimfu should do her best to complete it.

Loyalty is the instinct that is engraved on the soul as the Almighty Angel.

Breaking into this student union can be regarded as a further step in understanding the logic you want to understand from top to bottom.

So, do you want to teach the boy in front of you how to 'study'?

Nimfu has many 'methods' that can turn any ordinary person into a genius like Einstein.However, she has never done anything other than extraordinary means and inefficient language and writing education.

And - it always felt like she had really taught this boy, and the Shinomiya Kaguya next to her who made her interesting would have a lot of objections.

It's not that he's afraid of her, it's just that Nimfu hasn't gotten the answers to the questions he wants from her yet.Moreover, the gloomy accountant and the self-proclaimed secretary were not included in the structure of the student union.

Wow~~Human social interaction is really troublesome!

While complaining, Nimfu chose what she saw as the best way for human beings to break social ice——

"Well, how about playing a game?"

Nimfu suddenly said, looking at everyone here, showing a smile like a little devil

"I brought an interesting game, how about we have a good game?"

......

Call of Cthulhu, commonly known as COC, is known as the two major running team templates together with the famous Dungeons and Dragons, also known as DND.Of course, the reputation and audience of the latter are higher than those of the former.

But in Chongying, people here seem to prefer playing the COC group mode than the more common DND.

If there is any difference between the two, it is actually not big.It's nothing more than some slight differences in rules and names.

After all, the former can actually be regarded as an extension of the latter.

Putting aside the templates of these two, the basic rules and nouns of COC are explained as follows -

The secret keeper, also known as KP, is the so-called script host, responsible for developing the story module and presiding over the continuation of the player's content play.

PL refers to the player himself. The character created based on the character card is the PC. Others, such as the car card, SAN value and SC, can be generally understood as the judgment of the player character after encountering an event, and the judgment results will lead to different the result of.

In addition, the personal car card must also involve nine items including strength, physique, size, agility, appearance, intelligence, will, education, and mobility.The events and battles encountered in the story module will be determined by rolling dice according to your numerical values, and the results will be determined within the range.

跑团的骰子大约分为6面、100面、10面骰子，根据不同的情况投掷。而一枚则为所谓的1D，以此类推两枚就是2D、3D不等。

The range of judgments - for example, if the character you design has a combat skill of 60, then when you attack an enemy in a module, you must make the following judgments.

When you roll a 1, you will achieve great success. Not only will you successfully attack your opponent, but you will also cause unexpected and unexpected results.

If you roll 2 to 12, you can get an extremely difficult to succeed result, but even if you hit, the damage you cause will be greatly reduced, and if the opponent's dodge roll has a higher than extremely difficult to succeed result, he will dodge you. s attack.

And so on - a roll of 13 to 30 is a hard success with damage reduction, a roll of 31 to 60 is a normal success with damage, and a roll of 61 to 99 is a failure of the attack. If you roll 100, then you will A huge failure, even attacking his own teammates.

Of course, it will never be so simple in actual play, because your values ​​may also need to calculate the props you get, the character skills you get, and then the enemies also need to calculate their skills and values. A more demanding KP may even calculate Different factors such as the computing environment are required to make addition and subtraction decisions.

Even though these calculations are not complicated, the actual amount to be calculated during a group run is really mind-numbing.

Is it complicated?This is also why group running games have gradually become less and less popular nowadays. Even games such as Baldur's Gate and Divinity: Original Sin, which are group running online games, will reduce the complex content of the group running itself to a certain extent. .

Under the physical rules, it is inevitable that running groups will be gradually replaced by new running groups such as script killing that weakens the role of KP - it is a social game in itself, and it is too complicated, which itself raises the threshold of social interaction.

Playing any kind of running group requires a considerable cost to understand the rules. Not only that, what a good running group needs most is a KP who is familiar with the rules and can judge according to the situation, and who can do it with the guys who kick the door. When the gaffe gets out of control, the story can be brought back to full circle, and the rules will not be read blindly, causing some nonsensical things to happen inexplicably.

For example, if you put thirty cigarette butts in your fingers, because one cigarette butt counts as 1 damage to you, you can kill a mythical creature with one fist...

But even so, compared to earlier versions of DND with more complex rules, COC is already a relatively simpler model.If you look at DND, which has been in development for decades, the large number of rules and different rule books can make people's scalp numb.

In Chongying, this situation is actually not much different.The end of any game will most likely be due to its excessive learning costs.Of course, today's group players are more or less playing games with simplified rules, and some even simply use village rules to replace overly complicated rules.

What Nimfu wants to play is the 'COC Running Group'.

But that's not necessarily the case - or in other words, it is just a team-running game based on such basic rules, but does not require a KP at all.

When the group of people waited until school ended at 03:30 in the afternoon, they actually gathered in the student union office.

Either there are really not many people in this group who have anything to do, or they still have a purpose for Nimfu, or they are simply here to join in the fun.

But no matter what, as Nimfu took out a pair of thick sheets of paper spread out, a dark yellow light bloomed on it, and then a strange and gorgeous picture was projected.

"this is......"

The young master Yu Ishigami, whose family is in an evil toy company, widened his eyes, perhaps because he was curious about the new electronic products, while Nimfu distributed some 'cards' with a playful smile.

"So, welcome to play the fully automatically generated running game. Let me state in advance that this game uses unique rules, and the character cards are fixed but selectable. The goal of this running game is simple - the one who survives to the end is the winner. "

Following Nimfu's words, the brilliant light on the 'paper' in front of him immediately changed, creating a dark yellow space that was oppressive, closed, and seemed to be boundless.

As if to show off, Nimfu threw the card in her hand, and with a ray of light, in this occluded threshold space, an unconscious Caucasian woman wearing a black suit fell unconscious in it.

"This is a character card, FIB Agent Julie. You can see the specific values ​​yourself. Each person can play with three cards."

Nimfu looked at the unconscious figure, with a cold light in her eyes, and then distributed the cards with a smile.

"Oh oh oh oh oh, is this a group running game based on new technology!!!"

Chika Fujiwara looked very expectant and even excited. She took out three character cards from it without hesitation, and the agent card was in her hand.

"Don't you need a KP? That's indeed progress, but I really don't know much about the rules..." Ishigami Yu complained while taking the cards and randomly selected three Dao cards.

The remaining two people, Shinomiya Kaguya and Shirogane Miyako, have generally understood the rules. No matter what the purpose is, they also drew their three cards.

"Well, welcome to the back room game." Nimfu crossed her arms and showed an innocent and cute smile.

"Please command your characters to your heart's content and try your best to survive in this hell."

65. Back room, start! (The seventh update is completed again, please vote!)

cold, shaking

The moment Julie woke up from her dazed state, she jumped up almost instinctively in sudden fear!

Holding the pistol tightly and pointing forward in fear!However, there was no one in front of her that frightened her.

"This, where is this place?"

Julie was a little confused, or in other words, she was in an unspeakable panic and felt sad all over.

This was not an FIB office building, and Julie found herself waking up in an absolutely unfamiliar place.

All that was in front of me was an endless maze of musty yellow wallpaper, a damp and seeping floor, and flickering incandescent lights.

Looking around, there is only the same scenery, a feeling of depression.

A standard liminal space, Julie thought to herself.

As an elite agent of the FIB, she certainly knows what the threshold space is.After all, this part is included in the methods they use to interrogate prisoners.

In a space that is depressing, repetitive, and can also arouse people's weird nostalgic emotions, a person's spirit and reason can actually be consumed extremely quickly.

In such a space, people are often tortured by the strong sense of helplessness and the seemingly endless sight of the same scenery in the threshold space, coupled with the suffocating feeling of being unable to find a way out, and eventually gradually become trapped in the circular space and similarity. The angle broke through the psychological defense line and completely collapsed.

——But these people definitely do not include myself!

Julie took a deep breath. She was a specially trained FIB agent, especially for torture.Such a simple threshold space cannot trap her!

She held the pistol in one hand and turned on her mobile phone with the other hand. However, the signal here seemed to be very, very bad.

The flickering signal prevented her from connecting to the Internet, let alone talking to others. Realizing this, Julie clicked her tongue in displeasure, then held the pistol tightly and walked cautiously against the wall.

"Julie Wilson's spirit is very determined, and her body is fully trained. However, what she doesn't know is that in this space called Level 0, her spirit will be consumed every moment."

In the realm beyond its quadrant, a misty voice is slowly narrating everything.

Julie cannot hear and is destined to feel nothing. She can only move forward and be controlled by a 'fate' that she cannot see.

"Julie walked for more than 24 hours, and she still couldn't find the end of this field. All she could see was the maddening yellow color and the ever-present flashing incandescent lights."

"Her body began to show symptoms of dehydration, and she was aware of it. But compared to dehydration, the mental trauma she suffered was more severe."

"The sound of insects crawling under the wall made her irritated, and the sound of electricity constantly coming from high to low in her ears finally fell silent. All of this was really lowering her spirit."

"Perhaps collapse is just a matter of time for her? But when she walked through the corner of this endless maze - what appeared in front of her were two doors."

"An elevator that is old, decayed, and even has a strange musty smell."

"And the other one is completely dark, leading to a downward staircase to an unknown place."

"Which path will Julie take? Or is she planning to turn back and find a way out again?"

The choice of destiny begins now.

"I decided to take the elevator!" Chika Fujiwara answered cheerfully and confidently.

"It's wrong to take an elevator in a damn place like this, Fujiwara-senpai!" Ishigami Yu complained next to him.

"It is precisely because something is wrong that I have to leave. It is impossible to challenge Ishigami-san." Chika Fujiwara said confidently.

"And if we stay any longer, according to Level 0 information, Miss Julie, who has no supplies, will most likely die here."

What she said is true, but no matter what, when fate makes a choice, those who have experienced it can only carry it out.

The picture in front of her began to rotate, and as she made her choice, the narration and action also began to continue.

"No matter what the purpose was, Julie was probably tired, and she finally walked into the old elevator."

"As she stepped into the elevator, as if announcing that the escape route was cut off, the elevator door was closed tightly and could no longer be opened. And Julie had no way out. In this small elevator, there was finally no such thing as Musty stench.”

"She looked around carefully and found that there were surprisingly many elevator buttons in front of her. From level 0 to level 999, of course, some levels did not show the accessible status with lights on, but there was no doubt that this elevator could lead to the back room. Hierarchy of parts.”

"Congratulations, you found entity 'Elevator' No. 81."

"Wuhu, take off!!!"

Chika Fujiwara screamed excitedly, but the second choice was right in front of her!No matter what, she finally became the first among all players to break through the level 0 'teaching level'.

"Can you give me the detailed level information - uh, okay, then I'll just pick one."

It is impossible to obtain detailed information. Only by entering all the 'levels' of this game can you gradually unlock information for PL, or by picking up other survivors' notes during exploration, can you further unlock knowable information.

This is also the charm of running groups. The unknown choices fill people with a desire to explore.

"Then I choose-Level55!!!"

Without any reason, Fujiwara Chika just rolled a dice of 1d100. As the number stayed at 55, she made her choice without hesitation.

Julie, pressed floor 55.

There's no reason, maybe it's just because her birthday is on May [-]th, maybe it's because of some kind of sixth sense that Julie doesn't even understand.

She pressed the button, gasping and leaning against the smooth wall of the elevator, leaving that damn threshold space, and the feeling of thirst kept invading her spirit.

On her character card, the rate of decline in her San value has stopped, but the slow decline in her constitution and other values ​​continues.

ding dong~~~

The elevator seemed to reach the floor where Julie was coming very quickly.As the elevator door slowly opened, what appeared in front of Julie was a small supermarket.
