my cthulhu game

Chapter 17
late at night.

After sending Xiaoxue back to the dormitory, Chen Qiang hurried to the hospital and contacted the police station by the way.

From the beginning to the end of the module, Du Yingfei and the thief who "accidentally got involved in the module" lasted less than 5 minutes together, and both of them passed out due to excessive fright. Chen Qiang also received [Unlock the Secret Game Lobby] tips.

Well, sure enough, it is very dangerous for investigators to be alone, and there is no one to take care of them if they are temporarily insane.

Du Yingfei was simply frightened and did not suffer any serious injuries. The doctor said that he would fully recover after a few days of recuperation.Under Tu Lizhu's constant comfort, Chen Qiang saw that his SAN had recovered by 1 point.

Although the loss of sanity may cause a continuous psychological shadow, even in the most classic background of the Cthulhu running game - the United States in the 30s and [-]s, the investigators can slowly recover after the end of the module. In the contemporary era with better conditions, investigators have every chance to recover faster.

The thief's condition was a little more serious, and he had to go to the detention center after he was discharged from the hospital.

After ordering the consultation fee to be counted on his head, Chen Qiang left the hospital.

……

Uncle Xu's van.

"Are you OK?"

Uncle Xu looked worriedly at Chen Qiang who was paralyzed on the back seat of the car.

"It's okay." Chen Qiang shook his hand, "I'm not you. It's okay to stay up all night."

Staying up all night with mythical creatures, unless he can't think about it...

Shaking his head to keep himself awake, Chen Qiang looked at his mobile phone and clicked on the "Cthulhu's Keeper of Secrets" app.

【Secret Keeping Game Lobby】

[Unlock the secret game hall, you can get a set of mythological technology reality device for investigators.It has been detected that you already own the device, choose to forego this reward and get a random investigator or keeper talent instead? 】

"I choose talent." Chen Qiang did not hesitate.

[Investigator Talent: Burning Luck has been obtained. 】

[After you make a sanity or skill test, you can spend luck points to change the result, and the points will be deducted from your luck points.warn!You don't have the talent to "restore luck", burning luck may cause your luck to be permanently reduced, and affect outside the mod! 】

"..."

It stands to reason that it is a good ability, but why can't it be happy.

"Burning Luck" can turn a failed check into a success, but at the cost of a permanent deduction of one's own luck.Chen Qiang's luck is only 50, so he can't stand the fire several times.

"It cannot be used until the moment of life and death." Chen Qiang immediately made a decision.

【Secret Keeping Hall Mission】

Hey, there are still tasks?

[Task name: A small goal
Difficulty: Lower Race

Mission description: Run the "Fortress of Sanity" company and earn a net profit of [-] million ($).

Reward: credit rating increased by 1%]

"..." There must be something wrong with the system's understanding of difficulty.

A dollar of [-] million dollars is extremely difficult even for Chen Qiang—it is estimated that the system will not allow him to play tricks—not to mention that it is not about net assets, but net profits.

Although Migo technology and Yisi technology are unparalleled in the world, Chen Qiang didn't dare to show it in a big way!

[Task name: More sacrifices...well, more investigators

Difficulty: Advanced Race

Mission Description: With 20 investigators, completed 4/20]

So what does it mean that this task is more difficult than the last one?And what about the reward for this task?

[Task Name: Clear the level!

Difficulty: unique
Mission description: Including trials, as a secret keeper or investigator, the exploration rate in any module should reach 75% or more. 】

Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

These tasks are basically guiding him to use the Keeper function normally.

"Cthulhu's Secret Keeper" measures the difficulty of the "lower race" - "superior race" - "the only existence" (a powerful creature with a near-immortal life, but not yet possessed of true divinity) - " Old Ones" - "Outer Gods".

Fortunately, there are no tasks such as exploring haunted houses or mysterious caves.

Probably the system realized that even if such a task was released, Chen Qiang, who has the right to trigger the module, would use his power to run over it...

Chen Qiang didn't care about the fact that the rewards for the next two tasks were not written.

Perhaps, the rewards will be based on the style of quest completion?
[Manage trial devices (currently a total of 5)]

[Through the mythical device, you can allow investigators to enter the trial space and trigger some modules that cannot be triggered in the real world]

[The loss of sanity in the trial space will not be directly fed back to the real sanity, but when the investigator ends the trial, a unified sanity check will be performed based on what he encountered in the module]

【warn!Once the investigators discover the essence of the trial space, it may cause a larger-scale loss of real sanity! 】

[Half of the virtual sanity lost in the trial space will enter the sanity pool]

[Illustrating with an example, in the trial space, when an investigator with 90 sanity loses 90 sanity points and fails the trial, 45 sanity points will be counted into the keeper's sanity pool. 】

[Non-investigators can also use the trial space, but cannot accumulate sanity pool]

"... If I knew it earlier, I would have called the company the Lord God Company." Chen Qiang muttered.

"What?" Uncle Xu didn't understand.

"Seriously, Uncle Xu, you should read more online articles and anime, otherwise there will be a generation gap with Leilei in the future..."

"Oh..." Uncle Xu continued to be confused.

"At least," Chen Qiang closed his eyes and rested his mind. Anyway, Uncle Xu couldn't understand, "this time we won't be able to make ends meet."

Returns sanity in the sanity pool to investigators in a ratio of two to one.If this continues, the total amount of sanity will inevitably decrease as a result.

Now that he has a trial space, he can finally accumulate more total sanity while keeping the investigators generally safe.

"If Xiaoxue still has to go to Arkham in the end, before then," Chen Qiang meditated, "we must accumulate enough sanity pools to restore Xiaoxue's and my own sanity as much as possible, as well as the number of times 'Bie Tianshen' can be used."

"I have the right to trigger the module, but even if the module is not triggered, the mythical creature will not stay there. I just have the initiative."

"After analyzing it like this, it's best to select a group of qualified investigator teammates to assist Xiaoxue and me. After all, it's Arkham."

"Well……"

……

the next day.The first day of Qingming holiday.

In the board game club activity room.

Xiaoxue couldn't laugh or cry when she saw the message from Chen Qiang.

[I overslept... I heard that how many people are coming to join you today in my "Summer Strange Talk" group?I can't get up anymore, googoo today...I will pass on the group opening information to you later, anyway, Xiaoxue, you have learned the rules, why don't you open it yourself as a secret keeper...]

Xiaoxue looked down, and the following is the module content of "Summer Strange Talk":

"The core mystery of the story: the monster attacked the ice cream merchant and turned into his appearance..."

Xiaoxue sighed.

"What's the matter?" Asked Bai Shaobao, who was eager to run the group.He built a hunter card that fit his ancestral identity.

"The keeper stayed up for two consecutive nights, and couldn't get up, googoo."

"..."

I really didn't expect that Chen Qiang was also a pigeon spirit.

"Then if you don't mind," Xiaoxue quickly browsed through the modules, "would you like to let me act as the host?"
