Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1027 General meaning

   "That's right."

Alice sighed and said with a smile: "This is actually a standard plot. A treasure seems to have extremely strong power and can meet any requirements of the owner, but there is no free lunch in this world. , in the end the owner will pay for it, perhaps more than he gets."

Liu Xing nodded and smiled: "Yes, how can there be free lunches in this world? As a young Chinese born in the 1990s, we are well aware of a truth, that is, free games. It's the most expensive game."

"right!"

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Li Hanxing immediately came to the spirit and said: "Although the free game routine was not invented by the Huaxia game company, it was carried forward by the Huaxia game company, and the in-app purchase system took the entire game's kryptonite. The level of gold has been raised several grades, and the revenue of free games has surpassed those of games with a point-of-sale payment model... I think back when I was a child with double-digit pocket money every day, I spent money every day. Internet cafes have enriched the game experience for those kryptonite bigwigs, and it feels uncomfortable to think about it now.”

At this time, even Sun Huiwen, who never liked how to complain, said: "Yeah, especially in the current era of mobile games, free games have basically become the mainstream of the industry, and each game seems to be available without spending money. Play, but if you want to have fun, you have to spend money, otherwise you will be stuck a few times for each event, and you just charge a little money for each event like this, and in the end you find yourself charging a thousand or two thousand for a mobile game. , but was reluctant to spend dozens or hundreds of dollars on a buyout game."

"So I am still the number one in the world on Azur Lane. The card-drawing experience is one of the best in the mainstream mobile games. In terms of revenue, I basically rely on selling skins to make money, and the quality of the skins is nothing to me. Sure enough, I still understand Azur Lane. People's hearts." Liu Xing said with a smile.

   Looking at Liu Xing and the others who suddenly digressed while chatting, Alice was stunned.

   After all, as an Englishman, Alice should have a hard time understanding the development route of Huaxia Games.

   "Cough, let's talk about the complaints about the game here, let's go back to the main topic now."

Liu Xing looked at Alice and said: "So according to the first half of the legend you told Alice, the treasure that Oda Nobunaga obtained can make people gain extremely strong power, but the price that needs to be paid is a A curse that threatens the life of its owner?"

Alice nodded and continued: "Yes, that treasure can change the owner's luck in name, make everything go well for the owner in a short period of time, and can turn the tide in the face of desperation. But after the experience period, the owner needs to toss a coin every day, if the coin landed heads, then the owner will continue to get good luck, but if the coin landed is On the flip side, the owner will be out of luck, but the most important thing is that if the coin stands up when it hits the ground, the owner will die."

When the three of Liu Xing heard this, they couldn't help but raise their brows, because in the eyes of these players, this treasure has a very typical Cthulhu running style - luck determines fate, and if this is the case, then It seems that Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi both failed at the end of the year.

It's a pity that Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi in this parallel world are only NPCs, so they can't get the reminder from the game hall of the Cthulhu running group like the players, and they may be asking for that treasure to bring them when they die. Come to good luck, let yourself be able to fight against a hundred with one enemy, rely on a hundred soldiers to fight against the 10,000 rebels of Akechi Mitsuhide, or let yourself be able to return to the light at the last moment and recover from the illness.

"By the way, according to our current speculation about this legend, the good luck the owner got at the beginning is actually an overdraft of his future luck, so when the coin finally stands up, all the previous bad luck will flow to the owner, Therefore, Oda Nobunaga suddenly encountered the rebellion of Akechi Mitsuhide and was directly buried in the fire of Honnoji Temple, while Toyotomi Hideyoshi was seriously ill, but still survived for a while, but the most important thing is that if the owner does not If the luck debt owed before, the owner's family will pay it back for him, which is the main reason for the rapid decline of the Oda family and the Toyotomi family after the death of the head of the family."

Alice thought for a while and said with a smile: "I heard that the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu also got that treasure after he took the world, but he didn't choose to use that treasure, because he knew the first two of this treasure. Whatever happened to the owner, he was able to pass away peacefully, and the Tokugawa shogunate was established, and the island nation gained the world."

Liu Xing raised his brows and said, "In this way, I think the end of the legend should be that Tokugawa Ieyasu returned the treasure to Zhao and returned it to the Oda family, or buried it in the Oda family. The base camp of Nagoya Castle, which is now the Nagoya area."

"Yes, Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that the treasure was not very auspicious, so he decisively chose to put the treasure back in the ancient city, and built a new Tianshou Pavilion, which is an island-style castle to store it. This treasure, and this is today's Nagoya Castle, although Nagoya Castle was damaged in the war, the secret room where the treasure was stored has not been found." Alice said with a smile: "Yes, this one If there is no accident, the treasure should still be in Nagoya Castle, and Nagoya Castle is on the territory of the public faction. As for the most important point, the fire brigade who is mainly responsible for the fire safety of Nagoya Castle is across the river!"

   Liu Xing and the three nodded, all with the same expression as before.

"A lot of things can make sense now. If we guessed correctly, the reason why the public faction will blow up this bridge today is to delay time to ensure that they can set fire to Nagoya Castle smoothly. You can open the secret room to get the treasure, and then use that treasure to defeat the samurai faction and gain control of Nagoya." Alice said seriously.

Liu Xing looked in the direction of Nagoya Castle, frowned and said: "This is really a good calculation, something that can't be touched and invisible like luck is indeed a big killer, because we have other things in the martial family faction. There is a way to guard against it, but luck is really hard to guard against, and if you only use this once, then the side effects of that treasure will only be for that person, which means that the public faction can change to Nagoya Castle as long as it sends a surrogate ghost. , then this is simply a **** profit; as for the use of this treasure in the subsequent battle of Gongwu, then the price that the public faction needs to pay is only a family, which is nothing to them at all."

Speaking of this, Liu Xing actually has some doubts in his heart, because Liu Xing is very clear that the Cthulhu running group game hall should not be left with such buggy props. After all, such props seriously affect the game balance and cost. It is not proportional to the output at all, so Liu Xing estimates that this treasure is likely to have other restrictions.

As a result, as soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Alice gave Liu Xing an answer, "You can rest assured on this point, Liu Xing, because it is the same as the previous sentence, there is no free lunch in this world, and some treasures are nothing. Smelly fish and rotten shrimp can be used. After all, treasures of this level can choose their own owners, so according to our guess, this treasure should only be used by people who have great luck, because Oda Nobunaga Both Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Toyotomi showed that they were very lucky before they got this treasure."

"For example, in the most critical battle in Oda Nobunaga's life, the Battle of Okehama, luck was completely on the side of Oda Nobunaga, who was at an absolute disadvantage, which enabled Oda Nobunaga to successfully raid Imagawa Yoshimoto. , obtained valuable development opportunities, otherwise the Oda family would have to become history ahead of time; as for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's luck, it would be even better, although many people attribute his success to his good at observing words and flattering, but we also I have to say that he was lucky enough to meet the good boss Oda Nobunaga, and the time and location of the sudden death of this good boss were just right."

Hearing this, Li Hanxing touched his chin and said, "This is interesting, if it is what you said, Alice, who will the public faction choose to sacrifice? People like this with great luck, now No matter what, at least he must be the No. 1 figure in the public faction, right?"

   First of all, an exclusion method can be made here, that is, the player cannot be the owner of that treasure.

The reason is very simple, if this treasure is held and used by a certain player, then this player is bound to become the undisputed first place on the contribution list, and the price he needs to pay is not too big, because Isn't this a character card of your own? What's more, this character card can also be reborn through the resurrection module, so the Cthulhu Running Group game hall will definitely add a restriction to this treasure, that is, only NPCs can use it.

   So if the speculation about this treasure is correct, then the NPCs who can use this treasure should be limited to a certain range - the leaders of the ten major forces of the public faction.

   Of course, this range may also be relaxed a bit, but it will not be relaxed too much.

  Then the question is, the leader of the public faction knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers tigers to the mountains?

   Liu Xing guessed that it could not be those big families in the public faction, because this treasure would bring disaster to the family, so those big families should not want to destroy their own families. . . Although today's Oda and Toyotomi families are still skinny camels that are bigger than horses, and can rank among the top ten forces of the samurai faction and the public faction, the reason why they are able to do this is actually to balance the family and the secret church. balance.

  Otherwise, the Oda family would not have made a lot of thunder and less rain in dealing with the death of Hideji Oda.

  So if nothing else, the person in charge of this treasure should be a high-level person in a secret church.

   "Then what should we do now? I think we still can't let this treasure easily fall into the hands of the public faction, otherwise we may not know how we might lose." Sun Huiwen asked.

Liu Xing thought for a while, then said helplessly: "Then what else can we do? Of course, we can only wait and see what happens. We will talk about it later. If there is a chance, we will stop the arson of the public faction, or directly ambush in the Let's wait outside and wait until they take out the treasures, but it's definitely not enough for us alone."

   Alice understood, nodded and said, "I have already told Zhang Jingxu and the others about this possibility. If there is no accident, Zhang Jingxu and the others should act with us when the time comes."

   Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's continue to have breakfast now. After breakfast, we will prepare it and then go to Nagoya Castle."

  After breakfast, Alice specially prepared a loose dress for Liu Xing to cover up the reality that Liu Xing lost her shadow.

   Then, Liu Xing and others started their one-day tour of Nagoya, visiting various attractions under the control of the public faction.

   So in the afternoon, Liu Xing and others came to Nagoya Castle.

The Tianshou Pavilion in the island country is basically the same, after all, the Tianshou Pavilion is the same as the castle in Europe. It is not only the residence of the local lord, but also a defensive fortress. Therefore, the system adopted is a set of templates with the highest defensive power at that time, so Except for the difference in the number of layers, there are basically only some differences in details in other aspects.

   The castle tower in Nagoya is as famous as the castle tower in Osaka, so Liu Xing, who has been to the Osaka castle tower several times before, quickly figured out the general structure of Nagoya Castle.

"Since Nagoya Castle was damaged and rebuilt that year and no one found the secret room, it means that this secret room should be underground. After all, the underground is also the safest place for the ancients. I like to bury my gold and silver jewelry in the ground for later use." Liu Xing looked at his feet and said, "But now we have turned around the area of ​​Nagoya Castle that is open to the public, but we have not found that there may be Down the tunnel."

Li Hanxing, who was on the side, nodded and said with his mobile phone: "Yes, I turned on the detector in my bag after entering Nagoya Castle, and I didn't find any secret rooms where we passed, and I didn't encounter anything. jamming the signal, so if our guess is not wrong, there is only one possibility now, this secret room is not a secret room in the general sense."
