my cthulhu game

Chapter 9 "Dark Corners of the Earth"

"You, this is really the kind of serious investment." Uncle Xu became more worried, "You must never take money from unknown sources. I have seen several young people with good prospects, and they were caught It's ruined on this."

"I can trust my investor." Chen Qiang said.

My investor is myself, Chen Qiang thought to himself.

"People's hearts are in the belly," Uncle Xu said, he was really worried, "He is a big boss with a lot of money! This kind of person may withdraw his capital when he gets tired of it."

Uncle Xu, do you think I look like the kind of big boss who is stupid and rich?Chen Qiang thought.

"You just have to rest assured," Chen Qiang said with a smile, "When the time comes, I'll make some money and pay you to redecorate the store. How about it?"

"Just blow it."

"I'm really not bragging," Chen Qiang said, "I'm very confident in myself."

"Okay," Seeing Chen Qiang's confident look, Uncle Xu nodded, "I'm just waiting for the day when you invest in me. Work hard! If you have financial difficulties, let Uncle Xu tell you. I'm old Xu. , Tens of thousands of dollars can still be taken out.”

Chen Qiang thought to himself...

Uncle Xu, do you know that last year your family opened a butcher shop in the commercial street, went around looking for people to borrow money, and the friend who was willing to donate generously in the end, the reason why he donated money so generously was not because he was generous by nature, but purely because...

That money is not his money.

In the past few days, Chen Qiang saw that Uncle Xu was frowning all day long, so he couldn't help but secretly help him through Uncle Xu's friends.And Uncle Xu is still in the dark, not knowing who is really helping him.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Whether they are poor or rich, Uncle Xu's family has always been enthusiastic about him, and he deserves to be rewarded.

……

"I'm done!"

Returning to the table, Xiaoxue shouted excitedly.

"Let me take a look." Chen Qiang took the card.

[Name: Qin Lingxue; Age: 19; Occupation: Student]
[力量：65；体质55；体型40；敏捷75；外貌80；智力80；意志85；教育70]
"..."

Except for the pursuit of small and exquisite body shape, all other attributes are much higher than the average.

Looking further down, the skills are all off the charts... There are several with more than 75%, and some with more than 90%.

And a real supernatural 10%?What is this?
The real supernatural in this world is the Cthulhu Mythos.

I have already removed the item "Cthulhu Mythos" from the template...Chen Qiang has a headache.

"I think I'm already very humble..." Xiaoxue said.

"Okay," Chen Qiang gave up trying to argue with Xiaoxue about his attributes, "That's it. You are willing to be my investigator, right?"

"En." Xiaoxue nodded expectantly.At the same time, Chen Qiang also felt the vibration of the mobile phone in his pocket.

...It seems that the system has identified Xiaoxue as an "investigator".

"By the way, you haven't told me what your game is called?" Xiaoxue asked curiously, "You said that your running game is different from 'Dungeons and Dragons', so you must have a name..."

"'Dark Corner of the Earth'." Chen Qiang said.

It's a Cthulhu video game title.

After all, Chen Qiang still didn't dare to directly mention the name of "Cthulhu's Call".

"Wait a minute, I'll take a picture of your character card." Chen Qiang took out his phone.

He couldn't wait to see Xiaoxue's real card, but in front of Xiaoxue, he had to cover up.

The shutter flashes.

"It's blurry," Chen Qiang said, frowning and staring at the screen, "Let me adjust the focus..."

He said in his mouth, gesturing that he was still taking pictures, but his fingers had already clicked on "Cthulhu's Keeper of Secrets".

……

[Name: Qin Lingxue; Age: 19; Race: Human; Occupation: Lady]

Wait, this occupation shows that it's not a "student"?
It seems that her family is not simply a "well-off family".

【HP10/10；MP11/11；理智值5/89；幸运90/99】

【力量70；体质55；体型45；敏捷80；外貌80；智力85；意志55；教育80】

"..."

I was wrong, you are really being humble.

Strength, agility, intelligence, education, the system's evaluation of Xiaoxue is even higher than Xiaoxue's own self-evaluation!

Just Will 55...

Will is 55, Xiaoxue's initial sanity value should be 55.

Xiaoxue, what exactly have you experienced to deduct a full 50 sanity points?
[Skills (except for a few special skills, only contain more than 35%):
Credit rating 75%; Cthulhu myth 10%;

Accounting 35%; Acting 91%; Charisma 52%;

Fighting 60%; Pistol 66%; Rifle 55%;

First Aid 35%; History 37%; Mother Tongue 80%;

Mystery 36%; Persuasion 44%; Psychology 39%]

[Touchstone: A Man of Extraordinary Meaning

Chen Qiang (boyfriend)]

"……Hey."

Is there really 10% Cthulhu Mythos?

And this skill, performance 91%?Are you really an economics student?

This is clearly a martial arts actor or a spy!

It's a pity that this card doesn't show Xiaoxue's contact experience with Shinhwa before she became an investigator judged by the system.

If Xiaoxue's occupation is a "fanatic", Chen Qiang doubts whether his girlfriend is a genuine follower of Ke Zong.

"...can't tell yet."

Xiaoxue did hide a lot of things from herself.

her family background.

The combat training she has received.

And...her encounters with real paranormal phenomena.

Chen Qiang is not the kind of man who is corrupt. If he finds out that Xiaoxue is really worshiping a completely evil god like Wei Yuanshan, he will cut off his relationship with Xiaoxue.

but……

【Touchstone: A person of extraordinary significance——Chen Qiang (boyfriend)】

When seeing this line, Chen Qiang suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.

Chen Qiang not only has Xiaoxue, he also has his own parents, many family members and friends.

But in the system's judgment, Xiaoxue's extraordinary person is only herself.

"Xiaoxue," Chen Qiang thought to himself, "what have you been through?"

Xiaoxue's self-assessment is extremely close to the real data given by the system, except for will.

In Xiaoxue's heart, her will is 85, which is close to the highest level that ordinary people can achieve.

In Chen Qiang's mobile phone address book, there is only the resolute old police officer Liu Dui, whose will has reached 85!

And Xiaoxue?Even without any mental shock, her will is only 55 of the average level.

That is to say, Xiaoxue thinks that her will is very firm, but it is not the case.

Perhaps, this girl is far more fragile than she thinks.

……

"Is the filming finished?" Xiaoxue made a dissatisfied voice when she found her boyfriend in a daze.

"Okay." Chen Qiang quickly put down the phone.

It would be bad for Xiaoxue to see her doubts.

For now, it's best to go ahead with your original plan...

"Is there something wrong with my card?" Xiaoxue asked suspiciously.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Actually, you still think that my skills are written incorrectly," Xiaoxue said. "According to your rules, my attributes are too high, and my skill points are overflowing."

"Absolutely not!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"It's written all over your face."

"fine."

"I'm going to change to a silver-haired female swordsman."

"Just this card!" Chen Qiang said, "It's rare for Uncle Xu to agree to us occupying this seat. We'll at least finish the introduction part of the game today!"

"Okay." Xiaoxue nodded in agreement.

Chen Qiang took a deep breath.

"Our module today..." he said slowly, "is called 'Summer Strange Talk'."

He deliberately paused for a few seconds.

"This is a story about an ice cream merchant..."
