my cthulhu game

Chapter 50 Let's Make a Deal

The ancient was stunned.

"That's right." Its whole tree has entered the state of drawing circles in the corner, and it is very frustrated that it didn't expect this.

Unmistakable, this guy is a joke!

"I will pay for their losses," Chen Qiang said vaguely, "but I noticed that you are still using electricity."

"Yes," the ancient man regained some energy, "Your Excellency, the great magician..."

Chen Qiang couldn't stand it: "My name is Chen Qiang, just call me Chen Qiang."

"Dear Sir Chen Qiang, I learned the knowledge related to portals in the sealed space. Seeing that you humans are using electricity on a large scale, I thought of a plan..."

"plan?"

"I intend to build a portal powered by electricity," said the elder, "to send me back to the time when my race was at its peak two hundred million years ago."

"The results of it?"

"The experiment hasn't started yet." The old man's answer suddenly became vague.

[Chen Qiang succeeded in the psychology test 10/56]

"……Really?"

"I conducted the first test in the morning!" Seeing that Chen Qiang had seen through his lie, the ancient man with a biological age of 200 million years and a mental age of a child chose to confess directly, "But the energy was seriously insufficient and there was a problem with positioning. The portal It can only take me back to [-] years ago..."

Two hundred and two hundred million, you are too far apart!
"...That's all?" Chen Qiang looked at the old man suspiciously.

"Just... that's it." Even through the translator, one could hear the old man feeling guilty.

"The experiment is safe? You found that the landing point was wrong, so you terminated the experiment directly?"

"Wise Lord Chen Qiang," the ancient man chose to surrender completely, "you really know everything! There was a little accident in the experiment..."

You are wise, you are all wise!

"...I just went to the opposite side and took a look," Gu continued, "The human city 200 years ago was very different from now. It can be seen that your human city developed very quickly. If it develops for tens of millions of years, maybe... …”

"Stop bragging," Chen Qiang became impatient, "Tell me, what happened?"

"There's something...someone coming over there."

"What?"

"During the 10 minutes of human time that I was wandering over there, a human from that side accidentally came over from the other side. And I didn't discover this until I finished the experiment and looked at the data records of the portal. A total of two, adult humans."

……

From the moment he met this innocent ancient man, Chen Qiang knew that this module would not be that simple.

The abandoned theater in the western suburbs is probably just an introduction.

The module "Voice Beyond Time" has the highest difficulty among "Outer Gods". How is it possible that only one ancient being from a superior race appears?
Even if the BOSS is a Shoggoth hunting down the Ancient One, or even a Shoggoth Lord, the difficulty will definitely not reach the level of an "Outer God"...

Now Chen Qiang is 90.00% sure that it is definitely not the kind and friendly ancient plant in front of him that attracts the foreign gods, but the guy who came out from the opposite side of the portal.

"We must find their whereabouts." Chen Qiang quickly made a decision.

Regardless of whether the visitors who came here 200 years ago were really mistaken as the ancients said, whether they were targeted by evil gods, or whether they had been planning for a long time with ulterior motives, you must find them!
The sentence at the beginning of the Lenovo module [From now on, as long as you stay in City D, you can see the dice test results of all investigators]...

It seems that the entire city is a stage for modules.

……

"Dear Sir Chen Qiang," the ancient man looked at Chen Qiang deep in thought and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," Chen Qiang took a deep breath, "Show me your portal."

"it is good."

The old man didn't think much, and guided Chen Qiang and Uncle Xu to the backstage.

"Mr. Chen..." Uncle Xu asked quietly. The conversation between Chen Qiang and the Ancient One gave him a big impact, "We can't just leave this person... this tree alone."

"En." Chen Qiang nodded, and stopped correcting Uncle Xu's unauthorized change of address.

With the passage of time and the display of one's own strength, more and more people will always be in awe of oneself. In comparison, saying "Mr. Chen" is nothing.

As Uncle Xu said, this naive old man in front of him possesses knowledge and technological power that does not match his mind, and he cannot be allowed to wander around in human society.

……

In the background, a portal as tall as two people stood quietly.

The weird shape is like a five-pointed star that has been chopped into half.

"Excuse me, respected Your Excellency Chen Qiang, am I," the old man asked sincerely, "causing you and your race a lot of trouble?"

Chen Qiang didn't speak.

"Dear Sir Chen Qiang, I hope to hear the truth." The ancient man made a clear flute sound.

"Yes," Chen Qiang said decisively, "You have caused trouble for me and my race. Fortunately, I found you in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

The elder was silent.

"The Shoggoths have never given up hunting you," Chen Qiang said, "and the strongest Shoggoth lord among them has already evolved the ability to mimic humans. Once you are exposed, they will find you soon. Although your abilities are strong, you cannot escape from them alone."

"What should I do?" Chen Qiang's inference based on his knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos was reasonable. Without the prompt of the social skills test, the ancient man panicked.

"You can choose to cooperate with me," Chen Qiang felt that the tree was about to take the bait, "friend, we can make a deal."

"Deal... deal?" The ancient man didn't understand.

"You are not talented, and you have a small status in the society of my race," Chen Qiang said persuasively, "Under my protection, you will not be discovered by those Shoggoths."

The elder shook all five tentacles on its head as if nodding.

"I will provide you with protection," Chen Qiang said, "I will also provide you with better conditions for you to conduct research until you come up with a feasible way to send you back to the Jurassic."

Chen Qiang generously drew a big pie for the ancient.

"So, what's the price?" Although this ancient plant is naive, it also understands that there is no free lunch in the world.

"You have to contribute your knowledge to me, as well as the items you brought out of the pocket space." Chen Qiang said.

"..."

"Of course, I won't force you to take out all of it." Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Chen Qiang added another sentence.

All the limbs of the ancient man's body were trembling, as if he was undergoing a strong psychological struggle.

"I may assign you a task and ask you to use your intelligence to analyze some items to see if you can reverse-restore technology that can be understood by our human society," Chen Qiang said, "but other than that, within a safe range Here, I can allow you to move and research freely. Your safety is entirely my responsibility. Is this not an excessive condition? "

[Chen Qiang's persuasion check with bonus value: 88/55 failed]

"I, I'll think about it." Even though the ancient man had raised all his tentacles and surrendered in his heart, he still wanted to bargain with Chen Qiang on the surface.

"Young man," Uncle Xu, who has always been insignificant, couldn't help but interrupt. Anyway, this tree can understand Chinese, "you have to think carefully! There is no such store after this village. If we, Mr. Chen, don't care about you, ,you……"

[Xu Shu intimidation check 24/45 success]

　The Ancient One's desire to use the portal to return to the age of dinosaurs is a theme in the official module, and "Cthulhu Time Travel" has been created into a series of modules and expansion sets.
