my cthulhu game

Chapter 71 It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun
The May Day holiday is coming to an end soon.

Of course, for Chen Qiang, who is "self-employed", his life will not be different because of the end of the holiday.

After the incident between Qin Yixian and Xiao Yezi, all the players who came for the interview were sent back by him with a unified "wait for notice".

Sitting in his office, Chen Qiang fell into deep thought.

In just three days, he has received no less than seven calls from Qin Yixian himself and the Qin family, allowing him to fully appreciate the other party's "enthusiasm"...

As the "Secret Keeper's Eye" cools down again, he can finally "lie detect" the opponent by checking the dice results of "Psychology" again.

The enthusiasm revealed in the other party's words is by no means hypocritical.

But why do I always feel that they have misunderstood something important?

"Forget it, that's fine."

The appearance of senior investigators in the real world, Chen Qiang thought, seemed to be an opportunity for him to conquer the "Random Trial Module".

Among the several tasks sent by the system, the only one that Chen Qiang was not sure to complete by himself was the task of recruiting three mythical creature investigators.

[Task name: My mythical creature is unusual

Difficulty: Advanced Race

Mission description: Recruit three investigators of mythical creatures, currently 2/3
Bonus: You can see the calculations for sanity pool consumption when using Mythic Intervention... maybe something else? 】

I can always complete the tasks of making money and gaining reputation among the player groups in time, but God knows when I will have to wait until I meet another mythical creature with a friendly attitude and willing to be fooled by me?
Relying on the rewards of clearing the random trial module, you can directly complete this troublesome task.

The calculation standard of sanity pool consumption when using "Mythical Intervention" is very important, and that "other reward" makes Chen Qiang's heart even hotter.

In the virtual trial space, an unknown module...

After the module shakes out, there is 24 hours of preparation time.After seeing the results, according to the difficulty and the number of people suitable for the module, decide the final personnel arrangement...

I just had a big failure at a critical juncture, the so-called conservation of character, this time I will definitely randomly get the mod I want!

He tapped on his phone.

[Module name: Christmas carnival on the "Haneda" cruise ship]

[A cruise ship sails from Hindizawa in Japan to Cassandra on the west coast of the United States.This is a trip across the ocean.You will spend Christmas on board. 】

"Module of the vehicle department. There is one more sentence description than expected. It can also accept...accept..."

[Suggested number of people: 5]

[Difficulty: Variable (unknown)]

"???"

……

The next day.

"Ah!" Uncle Xu sneezed.

In the newly renovated game testing room, five trial devices are lined up.Chen Qiang, Gu Shiyin, and Uncle Xu are waiting here for the arrival of two "external" investigators.

"Uncle Xu, how is your health?" Gu Shiyin asked concerned.

"It's just that there are too many hairs on the poplar tree." Uncle Xu wiped his nose.

"Will the corpse clan be afraid of that thing?" Gu Shiyin is a plant race, and he has no understanding of the troubles caused by the flying poplar hairs in the northern cities in spring.

And this is indoors, and the windows are closed.

"For something like this... Ah, thanks."

Uncle Xu gratefully took the tissue from Gu Shiyin, and blew his nose "humming".

"...to this kind...our noses are more sensitive than...human beings..." Uncle Xu, a clean ghoul, folded the used tissues and threw them into the trash can, feeling much more comfortable.

"The body structure of creatures is amazing," Chen Qiang said with a smile. He has already confirmed that Uncle Xu and Gu Shiyin can enter the virtual space through the helmet, "but remember: unless you have my permission, don't reveal it in the mod. Your identities. Do you understand?"

"En." Both Uncle Xu and Gu Shiyin nodded.

Through these few days of probing, Chen Qiang has been basically convinced that Qin Yixian does not reject those mythical races that are friendly to humans.

But it is always right to be cautious in everything.

This strategy has three purposes.

First, pass the customs module and receive rewards.

Second, to further draw myself closer to Qin Yixian and his team and relationship.

Third, run the company team and prepare for building an elite investigation team in the real world in the future.

Yesterday, Chen Qiang called Xiao Yezi and asked her to convey to Qin Yixian and his team that he invited them to participate in the game test.

Haneda...it reminds me of Sayoko's new surname.There is "Haneda" in the name of the module, so Chen Qiang especially emphasized that he hoped that Xiao Yezi could participate in the game in person, and let Qin Yixian and Xiao Yezi decide for themselves.

Even if Qin Yixian himself may not have time to come, he should send a capable subordinate who has a little understanding of the myth to be there, right?
There was a sound of brisk footsteps.

"It seems that our guests have arrived," Chen Qiang stood up, "Let's welcome..."

The word "Welcome" stuck in his throat.

Two girls walked into the room.Walking in front was Sayoko. She was still wearing a spotless snow-white dress, paired with white stockings and light brown leather shoes. She looked lovely and fresh.

And following Xiao Yezi was a tall and beautiful girl with long black hair, a blue top, black skirt and stockings, her temperament was feminine yet bold, but who was it not Qin Lingxue?

……

Qin Yixian's place.

"Yixian, he won't answer our calls today." Uncle Su said worriedly.

"It's okay." Qin Yixian waved his hand, "We made too many calls, he may have realized something."

"But……"

"He is still very willing to cooperate with us," Qin Yixian said steadily, "It depends on when he calls over."

In a sense, Qin Yixian's judgment on Chen Qiang was not wrong.

It's just that he miscalculated a little...

"How about let Xiaoxue..." Uncle Su said with his brows furrowed.

"Unless absolutely necessary," Qin Yixian said firmly, "I will not use Xiaoxue's card."

……

"you……"

Facing Xiaoxue who appeared in the "Fortress of Sanity" game test room, Chen Qiang's brain froze for several seconds.

"Why, can't I come?" Qin Lingxue said angrily.

"No... I didn't mean, I mean, Xiaoxue, how could you...?" Chen Qiang tried his best to sort out the messy brain.

"You have already met my elder brother," Qin Lingxue feigned anger, "but you refused to tell me."

After that, Qin Yixian pretended to mention it casually on the phone, if Xiaoxue didn't know that he had met Chen Qiang, then he should not rush to tell her.

"I'm sorry. But we wanted to give you a surprise." Chen Qiang thought of an excuse to explain.

"Really?" Qin Lingxue stared straight at Chen Qiang.

"real."

"Really?"

"Okay," Chen Qiang raised Qin Yixian's banner decisively, "It's your brother who didn't let me say it!"

"I knew it," Qin Lingxue said angrily, "I'm an idiot old man, and I've been sneaking around again to find out what's going on."

"Okay." Chen Qiang went up to give Qin Lingxue a hug, and then patted her head, "Your brother must have his own considerations. Don't be too angry."

Chen Qiang glanced at Sayoko out of the corner of his eye.The guilty Sayoko huddled in a corner of the room, pretending to be looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, but dared not speak.

It can't be wrong, she must have told Xiaoxue instead of Qin Yixian about what happened today.

"Why, can't I?" Xiaoxue muttered, "Let me and Xiao Yezi help you test the game today. I'm very good at playing games!"

Chen Qiang hesitated for a few seconds.

Before summer came, that is, before Xiaoxue left for Arkham, he had to show his cards to Xiaoxue.

The so-called choosing the day is worse than hitting the sun, Xiaoxue has already realized that she has contact with supernatural beings, so...

"Okay," Chen Qiang put his heart on the line, but his heart was as still as water, "Xiaoxue, Xiaoyako, today's test is up to you."
