Chapter 33 Chen Qiang's plan

earlier.

Chen Qiang quietly left the banquet hall through the side door.The evening wind blew on his face.

He looked up at the stars in the sky.

"I don't know where is the Hyades (Hyaades)," he thought, "and which one is Adibalan (Aldebaran). There is the city of Carcosa, where the two suns shine."

Chen Qiang walked towards the central viewing tower located in the very center of the hotel area, surrounded by three single-family buildings A, B, and C.

[Chen Qiang failed the credit rating test 85/10]

Alas, I wish I could use 98% credit in this world.

"The observation tower is not open to the public today, young man," the grey-haired old security guard stopped Chen Qiang, and glanced at his rented suit, "The press conference is in Building A."

"I'm not a fan." Chen Qiang shook his head. He believed that on such an "important" day, the Yoshikawa brothers and sisters had replaced the guards with their own people. "Tell Yoshikawa Hideki that Chen Qiang is waiting for him here. He will understand. "

He was prepared for the doorman to ignore him.His hand reached into his trouser pocket, where he had all the banknotes in his identity.When necessary, he can only spend all his wealth to bribe him.

[Chen Qiang's speech skill test succeeded 57/66]

The old doorman smiled.He nodded and walked into the viewing tower. Through the glass door, Chen Qiang saw him pick up the microphone.

I am not lying!Chen Qiang complained about the strict judgment of the system.

……

Not bad.

As early as the card writing stage, when other people were either fooling around or pursuing authenticity in writing character backgrounds for their own character cards, Chen Qiang, the only one who had read the outline of the module, started his own plan.

[Name: Chen Qiang; Player: Chen Qiang; Age: 20 Occupation: Overseas Student]

[Character background:
When "Chen Qiang" was a child, he came to the UK with his parents, and met Yoshikawa Hideki and Yoshikawa Sayoko brothers and sisters.Even when Hideki Yoshikawa was the poorest, "Chen Qiang" still encouraged this young man with the dream of a game producer not to give up, and collected various folk tales for him as materials for making games in the future.Later, "Chen Qiang"'s parents took him back to his home country, and his contact with Yoshikawa Hideki and Yoshikawa Sayoko were also broken.

Years later, because of the failure of his parents in the business field, the financial situation of "Chen Qiang" became difficult.Under the persuasion of his parents and through the relationship of a British friend, "Chen Qiang" received a scholarship and went to study in Wales.At this time, "Chen Qiang" has heard the news that Hideki Yoshikawa became famous as a game producer, and he is really happy for his friend from the bottom of his heart.

Now that Hideki Yoshikawa has moved his company to the UK, this seems like a good time to revisit Hideki Yoshikawa.However, to this day, the economic conditions between Hideki Yoshikawa and himself have reversed, and "Chen Qiang" doesn't know how to face him.Perhaps, the invitation letter received by a friend is an opportunity? 】

Investigators' backgrounds are not everything.

If you make nonsense such as "I am a senior official of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood" or "I am a Shoggoth lurking in human society", the system will immediately reject it.

But for the system, it is nothing at all just to be related to an important non-boss NPC Yoshikawa Hideki in the plot.

As for the other investigators?Whether to tell them the background of the story in advance is within Chen Qiang's authority.

……

moment.

Chen Qiang originally thought that Hideki Yoshikawa would call him upstairs, but out of his expectation, he saw Hideki and Sayoko running out of the tower in a hurry.

"Chen Jun!" Before Chen Qiang could speak, Yoshikawa Hideki gave him a warm hug, "I knew you would definitely come back!"

[Chen Qiang succeeded in the psychology test 5/50]

Yingshu's strength must be over 70—Chen Qiang felt his back being strangled.But he can still feel the friendship that cannot be erased by time in Yingshu's words.

Sayoko followed behind her brother.There were tears in her eyes.

[Chen Qiang failed the psychology test 91/50]

Xiao Yezi's performance was so real that Chen Qiang felt that Xiao Yezi was almost as excited as her brother.

"Damn bastard," Chen Qiang heard Yingshu whisper in a low voice, "Where have you been all these years? I'm worried about you; and Xiao Yezi, you know how long she's been waiting for you—well."

Hideki suddenly stopped talking.He stepped back and cleared his throat.

Chen Qiang glanced at Sayoko at the side.She looked very thin, and looked at Chen Qiang timidly, as if hesitating whether to go up and talk to her.

I have dice to remind you, if you change to the "Chen Qiang" in the story, maybe you really believe in your performance, Chen Qiang secretly thought.

"Xiao Yezi." He walked over with a smile and patted Xiao Yezi's head.

[Chen Qiang charm check 10/36 success]

Sayoko burst into tears as if she had suddenly burst into tears.

"It's okay," Chen Qiang said softly, "It's okay."

He showed a soft expression on the surface.

……

"Ahem..." Hideki Yoshikawa, who didn't know the truth, realized that the scene was developing in an embarrassing direction, "Chen Jun, since you are back today, how about we go to the press conference together?"

"Brother, it's not time yet, I want to stay with Chen Jun for a while longer." Xiao Yezi acted like a baby.

"The press conference was finished ahead of schedule," said Yoshikawa Hideki, "we have time to have a long talk with Mr. Chen."

You have said what I wanted to say, Chen Qiang thought.I just want the press conference to start early, and I can't let those hypergame guys jump around secretly.

"Okay." Sayoko reluctantly nodded.

"Let's go, Chen Jun, let everyone get to know you well!" Reunited with an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, Hideki Yoshikawa looked energetic and strode towards Building A.

……

Time goes back to the present.

In the banquet hall, the scene was filled with a fanatical atmosphere.

In order to make the fragmented "King in Yellow" show its greatest power, Miss Boss, you really took great pains...

That's right.

Chen Qiang, who has read the module description, is very clear that the boss of the module "Curse of the Hanged King" is not his brother Yingshu...

It was my sister Sayoko.

The remnants of "The King in Yellow Clothes" are not enough, so I fooled my brother to fill them in.The production team didn't have enough people, so they stamped as much magic-infused yellow seals on the invitation letters as possible to make them more susceptible to the influence of the king in yellow.

If I hadn't read the outline of the module, Hideki would be the first to be suspicious.Hiding in the shadow of her brother, this is the cunning of Sayoko.

Except for Chen Qiang himself, everyone else at the scene, even if they passed the Will Test, would not realize the hidden dangers of this game and leave.In terms of concealment alone, "The Curse of the Hanged King" may be more terrifying than the original "The King in Yellow" whose weirdness and madness can be seen at a glance.

but……

Sayoko.

I, Chen Qiang, just don't like those who like to play "Huan Ji Tong" and get their wish!
While everyone's attention was focused on the big screen, Chen Qiang walked behind Sister Qiu, who was playing games with energy.

The teaching battle is drawing to a close.The enemy's health bar has bottomed out, and sister Qiu's skillful operation has given her an absolute advantage——

It's now!

Snapped!
Chen Qiang used an exaggerated posture like throwing a discus, and pushed Sister Qiu hard on the back.
