Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1594 Problems with NPCs

   "Master Liu, are you looking at the Ho's Brewery?"

Gou Zuo, who is good at observing words and expressions, said: "Indeed, our Heshan County produces not much food every year, and after everyone's rations are removed, there is not much, so this He's Brewery is a bit abrupt, after all, it was bought from other places. The food has to pay for transportation, and the quality of the food cannot be guaranteed; so the He's Brewery has begun to transform a long time ago. Since then, it no longer brews grain wine, but instead sells various fruit wines. This has also made the business of Ho's Brewery a lot better, and even famous."

I see.

Liu Xing didn't expect that the He's Brewery would change its mind and start the fruit wine business. It must be known that making fruit wine was quite difficult for the ancients, because the difficulty of fruit fermentation was higher than that of grain fermentation, and Due to the lack of storage conditions, cider will also have a certain time limit. . . What's more, in ancient times when traffic conditions were worrying, there were only so many varieties of fruits in one area, and it was very difficult to transplant fruits from other areas.

"If you are interested, Mr. Liu, I can go to the counter to get you a bottle of fruit wine. You must know that the fruit wine from He's Brewery has become the first specialty drink in our Heshan County. Any store that serves alcohol will sell fruit wine." Gouzu said with a smile.

   Liu Xing thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, then you can bring me a bottle, and I will also taste the taste of your Heshan County specialty."

   Dog left nodded and ran to the counter in a hurry.

When Liu Xing and Gouzu were talking, he was actually paying attention to the other NPCs around him, but he found that these NPCs were really "concentrated" and focused on the "Monopoly" in front of him. Even those who are less than one meter away from him have not looked at him, not even a little bit of change.

   This seems very strange to Liu Xing.

  Humans are very curious creatures, and it is precisely because of this curiosity that human beings continue to achieve breakthroughs and stand at the top of the food chain. . . If you don't count those mythical creatures. . . Therefore, "watching the fun" is a dominant gene of human beings. Therefore, in Liu Xing's opinion, when he is still accompanied by a casino servant, and when this servant is still respectful to himself, the surrounding NPCs should logically be They will look at themselves differently and guess who they are.

   As a result, what Liu Xing imagined did not happen, because the NPCs around them regarded themselves as air and completely ignored their existence.

   From this point of view, that old Li Tou may be the only real NPC that Turner arranged in the casino to bring players who come here to make money to his inn so that the Luo family can come to find someone.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing made a bet, and then the surrounding NPCs looked at Liu Xing like a dream, because Liu Xing pressed a silver coin this time, and the total chips of everyone on the table are not enough. a silver coin.

After all, compared to other projects, this dice guessing game with Monopoly elements is more like an entertainment game, because it is more uncertain, so although there are many chips on this table, the unit price is not high .

   "The boss is so cool."

At this time, the NPC next to Liu Xing came over and said with a smile: "Boss, you should also be a passerby, right? So are you planning to go to Guangxin City or Heluo City? Do you need bodyguards to accompany you? We are going to Heluo. City, so if you hire us, boss, we can give you a good price."

Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not a boss, I'm just an ordinary ranger, but I have a little relationship with the Luo family, so I took some capital from the Luo family, and I'm sure I don't have this capital. I was too embarrassed to take it away, so I made such a big bet to ensure that where the capital came from, it would go there.”

Hearing Liu Xing say this, the man became more interested, "Oh, so you are a friend of the Luo family, then we should get to know each other well, because my brother and I often pass by Heshan for various things. County, so I usually don't get the benefits of Luo's family, so I still say that, buddy, if you are useful to our place, just say it directly, if there is a small problem, we can help you for free, and if it is a big problem, you can You just need to pay some tolls."

   Liu Xing saw that this person was so forthright, so he couldn't help but ask: "Then who is Xiongtai? If there is a chance, we can indeed cooperate."

The man nodded and said with a smile: "I am Huang Yan, the guard of Zhenxin guards, and I am in charge of the route from Shenglongcheng to Heluocheng all the year round, and I have more than 20 brothers with good martial arts. Dealing with more than 50 ordinary bandits is no problem, of course, if you tell me in advance, I can find more than 30 brothers to ensure that no thieves dare to provoke us in this area."

   The **** of the escort?

It’s a bit interesting, no wonder he wants to follow his own line to get in touch with the Luo family, because the dart guard line he is in charge of needs to pass through Heshan County frequently, so if he can get along with the local snake in Heshan County, the Luo family If they have a good relationship, their cost of escorting darts can be reduced, and they can also get a lot of help from the Luo family.

   However, Liu Xing also had some special ideas for them, such as letting them participate in the "dungeon" of Encircling and Suppressing the Mountain Wind.

  Because Liu Xing felt that his party was still a little weak when facing the Luo family, it was necessary to hire some of his own people from all parties in Heshan County.

   The heart of harming others is not allowed, and the heart of defending others is indispensable.

Although from the current situation, it is true that Liu Xing and others have a cooperative relationship with the Luo family, but Liu Xing and others have begun to suspect that the Luo family is not right, so they may turn against their own people after all the dust settles, so To be on the safe side, Liu Xing felt that he and his party still had to leave behind a little, ready to fight the Luo family again at any time.

   So escorts like Huang Yan are indeed a good choice.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing began to ask the price, "Oh, then I may just need a team of people to do me a favor in the past two days, so Huang Ge, please tell me the price first, I'll see if I still have this. Hire you for a lot of money."

  Huang Yan glanced at Liu Xing, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "It depends on what, brother, you need our help, because we need to make a corresponding assessment according to the risk, so that the specific commission can be determined."

"Actually, I just want you to come and help protect us, because in two days, we will have the Luo family to solve the big problem that has plagued Heshan County for decades. Although theoretically we have enough manpower, but To be on the safe side, you have to prepare a few more people...so it might just be a cutscene for you, or it might be for you to fight a terrifying enemy in person."

Liu Xing pretended to look around, and then continued: "This matter is related to the future of Heshan County, so if you are willing to join Brother Huang, your relationship with the Luo family will definitely not be shallow in the future, and I will give it to you. To be honest, if something unexpected happens, then you just need to run with us."

Hearing Liu Xing say this, Huang Yan suddenly showed a tempting expression, because he also knew very well that if this matter was done, he would be the guest of the Luo family, and he might be able to bring some brothers by then. Come out of your own door and make a fortune by monopolizing the business of this dart line.

   It's just that Huang Yan has not been carried away by the interests because he knows that Liu Xing is making a big cake for himself. After all, the most important point - what to do, Liu Xing has not really said it yet.

   Of course, Huang Yan also knows that there are many people in this casino, so it is normal for Liu Xing not to say it directly. After all, the more people who know some things, the easier it is to make trouble.

Thinking of this, Huang Yan said to Liu Xing: "Then I have to go back and discuss with the brothers now, so if you are free, boss, let's meet at the Ho's Brewery in the afternoon. In addition to fine wine, I also make some delicious snacks to match with fruit wine, so it is perfect to pass the time."

   Seeing Liu Xing nodding, Huang Yan got up and said goodbye.

   And at this moment, Gou Zu also finally came over with a bottle of fruit wine.

  Because it's still morning, and I don't know if Liu Xing is good at this sip, so Gouzhu also brought a small wine bottle with more than 100 ml, which in Liu Xing's opinion is a matter of three or two sips.

   However, Liu Xing also knows what it means to drink alcohol, so he didn't plan to drink too much at the beginning.

But to be honest, the fruit wine produced by the He's Brewery is quite delicious, similar to the one that Liu Xing bought before. Xing said what kind of fruit was used to make wine, and Liu Xing couldn't tell for a while.

Seeing that Liu Xing was very satisfied with the fruit wine, Gouyu breathed a sigh of relief, because this fruit wine was recommended to Liu Xing, so if Liu Xing was not satisfied with the fruit wine, the final black pot would have to be left to his dog. Left to back.

   And at this time, Liu Xing's silver coin has been lost.

  It doesn't feel bad for the cub to sell his father's field, and Liu Xing is even less distressed that he is selling someone else's field, not to mention that this field is still sold back to its original owner.

  So Liu Xing pressed another silver coin, and then asked Gouzhu: "By the way, there are many security guards who specialize in this route in Heshan County?"

"The **** bureau? That's quite a lot, because we are a shortcut here, and we can save a day or so to some places, so the **** bureaus going to those places will choose to pass by our Heshan County, and our location in Heshan County. It just so happened that if they had a night’s rest in Heshan County, they could reach their destination before dark the next day. Besides, our Luo family’s reputation has always been good, and we are willing to provide some convenience to these escorts, so they are very supportive. would like to go this route.”

   Liu Xing nodded and continued: "Then do your Luo family have any special connection with these escorts? For example, becoming a partner or something?"

   "That's not true." Gou left directly shook his head and said, "How should I put it, almost no one in our Luo family or the entire Heshan County chooses to go out, so there is no place to use the guard."

Liu Xing thought for a while, then didn't ask any more questions, but started to play "Monopoly" attentively, and it didn't take long for him to lose the silver coins in his hand, because Liu Xing found out that he was today The luck is really bad.

And this also puts a lot of pressure on Gouzu and the person in charge of rolling the dice. After all, Liu Xing is a guest of the casino, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t let the guest win. Got it?

   So seeing the bad situation, he persuaded Liu Xing to give up "Monopoly" and turn to other tables to play other projects.

   In a few minutes, Liu Xing became penniless.

This can make the dog left with sweat on his forehead, because before he came to accompany Liu Xing, the shopkeeper told him to let Liu Xing have a good time, but now Liu Xing has already lost all the money, then How can you still be happy?

   But Liu Xing didn't care about it at all, because these silver coins couldn't be taken away, so if he lost, he would lose, and it had no effect on himself anyway.

Of course, Liu Xing also saw what Gou Zu was thinking, so he patted Gou Zu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs. I have encountered the same situation before, and the result was not In a few days, I even won him back with profit, so if your shopkeeper wants to talk about you, then you can let him come to me, and I will definitely speak for you; but my luck today is really bad. It's suitable to continue playing, so you can take me to find someone else now."

   In the end, after seeing the gains of other people, Liu Xing was a little depressed all of a sudden, because among the crowd, he was the only one who lost. . .

   This luck is also considered absolute, Liu Xing began to wonder if he was secretly targeted by kp fangs.

Because it was getting late, Liu Xing and others left the casino and returned to Luofu, and along the way, everyone reached a consensus-the NPCs in the Luojia casino did have "insufficient investment" For example, Yin En found that he could only communicate with two NPCs at the same time. If he started talking with the third NPC, the first NPC would hang up directly.

   As for Ding Kun, he also tested that the NPC's line library is indeed limited, because he chatted with more than ten NPCs on the exact same topic, and found that some NPC's lines were almost the same, and at most the time, place and characters were changed.

   "It seems more likely than a dream that this is a virtual game space."
