Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1700 Rise of the Planet of the Apes

"Vegetarian Meat Village? The name of this village is a bit interesting. Could it be that all the villagers like to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha, so their favorite dish is vegetarian meat? But this is not scientific. If we humans are vegetarians for a long time, it will inevitably lead to The lack of various trace elements, the physical condition is definitely declining, and it will be useless after a few years; of course, if you can take various drugs for a long time to supplement the relevant nutrients, then you will be vegetarian all the time. Question." Baihecheng spit out.

"But the problem is that in a small mountain village like this deep in the Qinling Mountains, it's impossible for everyone to take vitamins, right? And I've followed some vegetarian bloggers on some video sites, even if they take medicines. Supplementing nutrition, but lacking in physique and strength, which is unacceptable for farmers who want to work in the fields, so I think the name of this vegetarian meat village should be something else. For example, this village is very Are you good at making vegetarian meat or crispy meat? But the crispy meat was said to be vegetarian meat in the process of spreading?" Wang Siyi said seriously.

Chen Xiu on the side smiled, shook his head and said: "Our ancestors finally let us realize the freedom to eat meat, but some people don't know what to think, and they have to live back to fight for grass with cattle and horses, which is a waste of us. The painstaking efforts of the ancestors; of course, I also know that some people really don’t want to eat meat, I still understand this part of the people, because I also don’t like eating onions and garlic since I was a child.”

   "Me too, I thought green onions and garlic were not tasty since I was a child."

Liu Xing followed up: "But it's a personal choice whether to be a vegetarian or not, as long as he doesn't interfere with my eating meat, but I seem to have seen a video before saying that if our ancestors took the line of pure vegetarianism, then we Now I have to swing with the monkeys in the old forest in the deep mountains; and I heard that there is a very strange parallel world. The background of the era seems to be when our ancestors just dropped the tree, and the player's attributes are terrible. The skills are also very limited, but the benefits of clearing the mod are very considerable, because players can easily pick up all kinds of good things, and it is even possible to evolve into a new race."

"Oh, I've heard of that parallel world, and it's the most famous parallel world in the Cthulhu running group game hall. After all, the mod backgrounds used by other parallel worlds are either modern or 1920, at most It is to let players travel to other time points in some special modules, but this is basically a one-time travel; and this parallel world with an ancient background is said to hide the secret of our human evolution, or those players who come Demonstrate the evolution of human beings... If the game hall of the Cthulhu running group is not a place where life is hard, I actually want to get a character card to be born in this parallel world, experience what it is like to be a monkey, and take a look What are the mythical creatures in the ancient times?" Baihecheng said with a longing look.

"Then why don't you buy a plane ticket and fly to the Amazon rainforest now, and then lose your mobile phone and other things, just walk into the rainforest in a suit of clothes and go to the wilderness to survive. That will almost satisfy your imagination." Chen Xiu couldn't help but said.

Baihecheng shrugged, shook his head and said, "That's different. I heard that players in that parallel world have only one birth point, which seems to be a place called the Dark Forest. Of course, this dark forest is also created by the first batch of parallel worlds. Players get their names because these players really feel that every step they take when they are reclaiming the wasteland, they feel that something around them will kill them; but now these players have established a building in the dark forest with more than 300 players. , the camp of nearly a thousand NPCs! The most important thing is that these players can have almost unlimited free time after the mod!"

   "Ah? Is there such a thing? Isn't this similar to the players in the Cthulhu area?" Tian Qing said subconsciously.

"Yes, in theory, all players in this parallel world are the ultimate low-profile Cthulhu area players, because they can theoretically stay in this parallel world all the time, but they only need to accept a mission occasionally, which is To participate in a mod; but in my opinion, players in this parallel world are not playing the Cthulhu running game, but a virtual online game called Rise of the Planet of the Apes, because these players enter the mod for the first time. When you form a group, it is equivalent to creating a number in this game, and then you need to build your own shack, follow other players and NPCs to collect various materials, and create various weapons and props, and then communicate with the surrounding myths. Biological warfare, in order to improve their attribute values."

   "Well, this is indeed a bit like an online game where monsters are upgraded, except that players can only choose to become a gorilla." Liu Xing nodded and said.

   "However, because the players are well-informed and can go offline to collect various materials, this camp has a very unique style of painting."

Baihe City was interested and introduced to Liu Xing and others seriously: "In this camp, you can see a group of gorillas and monkeys living in shacks, but there are scattered log cabins with glass. That's right! These players have already obtained the necessary glass for traversers, and after finding a coal mine and a copper mine of good enough quality nearby, they even pointed out the bronze technology tree. Iron ore and other ores were not found, so these players had to fight with bronze swords and some mythical creatures."

   "This style of painting is indeed quite strange, but can these players really beat the mythical creatures?" Chen Xiu asked suspiciously.

"Of course, because the mythical creatures around here are basically original mythical creatures, and their strength is similar to that of goblins. The winning rate of players fighting alone is about 50%, but if the number of players is a little larger, then players will have Higher win rate, because those mythical creatures don't know what cooperation is."

White River City replied: "As for ghouls and other mythological creatures that we know well, it seems that they have never appeared in the dark forest, because they can live in a better place, such as a player exploring the border of the dark forest. , they discovered a city near the lake in the distance, which looked like a ghoul's territory; so players in this parallel world reached a consensus that before they occupied the entire dark forest, the well-known mythical creatures I won't come to my own trouble."

When Liu Xing was about to speak, Baihecheng continued: "So players in this parallel world often posted some time ago, saying that when we use white character cards to mix time, we can choose to create accounts in this parallel world, because this Most of the modules in the parallel world are to explore a certain area of ​​the dark forest, or to solve a certain number of enemies. In short, the module has no twists and turns, and it can also get the support of other players! So you want to clear the mode It is not difficult to form a group, and even if you no longer play this character card in the future, you can also add a high-level NPC to this camp."

One thing to say, Liu Xing suddenly felt a little bit moved, because Liu Xing has never had such an "inhuman" experience, and as a book fan who has read online novels since he was a child, Liu Xing also has certain expectations for virtual online games. . . . Although strictly speaking, the Cthulhu Running Group game hall can be regarded as a virtual online game, but it cannot be upgraded by fighting monsters!

   Besides, a white character card is not expensive for Liu Xing, just spend a little money to travel to other parallel worlds.

   Anyway, nothing happened during this time.

   "Ahem, by the way, Baihe City, you advertised this parallel world like this, did you take money from those players?" Wang Si asked with a raised eyebrow.

Baihecheng smiled and actually nodded, "I like to browse the forum when I have nothing to do, so I have met many friends who have the same topic in the forum, so there is a friend who happens to be a player in that parallel world, and I The information that he knew happened to be what he told me; they recently discovered a new mine, and the specific ore is still uncertain, because the players who investigated this mine have already been wiped out! Yes, near this mine There is a group of powerful mythical creatures, so those players want more fresh blood to join them, so that they can organize people to take this mine directly."

"As for money, it's too cheesy. My friend sent me a souvenir in the real world, which is some kind of mythical creature, er, let's call it Neidan, because this thing hangs on the body. It can be energizing, like drinking Red Bull."

  While talking, Baihecheng took off a gold necklace from his neck, but in the middle was a small red ball that looked a bit like a small hawthorn.

Chen Xiu on the side of    touched the red ball, and then said with a look of surprise: "It's interesting. I just touched this ball and felt a lot better, but when I put it down, I felt that it was back to its original state."

At this time, Wang Siyi also touched the red ball, and then affirmed: "I just paid attention and found that when I touched the red ball, my heart beat faster. The actual effect of the ball is to increase the blood flow of the contact person, which is equivalent to an external stimulant, right?"

   Liu Xing glanced at Baihe City, and only then did he understand why Baihe City in the real world always looked like he had excess energy. It turns out that this guy has been doping all the time.

   "It should be, but I haven't felt any discomfort after wearing it for so long."

Baihecheng thought for a while and continued: "There are quite a lot of things like this in that parallel world. Basically, you can collect similar materials through a module, and then you can bring these materials with a little money. Go to the real world, so if you are interested in going to this parallel world, remember that when you meet Pangu, the current general manager of the camp, he said that he was introduced by me, and then I will get some of the ingredients for you."

   "Pangu? Your friend's name is a bit arrogant?" Chen Xiu complained.

"Oh, yes, players in this parallel world can change their names, and you can choose any name. After all, for those NPCs whose brains are not fully developed, your name is not important at all, because They hardly call your names, so the names are just more convenient for the players to call each other; so when the players formally established the camp, the leading players named Pangu and Odin and other gods, and the bottom In addition to some players who like to live, they have taken screen names such as Upright Cat Lord and Repeater Asan. Most of them named themselves after historical figures, so you can see Aristotle and Sun Bin. Let's stab the goblins with bronze swords together."

   "Uh, then this is indeed quite mystical."

   Just as Liu Xing wanted to say something, he saw Liu Qindong and Lao Qiu get up and leave the restaurant. It seemed that Liu Qindong was going to send Lao Qiu out of Rongcheng.

But when it comes to Vegetarian Meat Village, Liu Xing has realized that the organization behind Liu Hanyue has built so many scenic spots near Vegetarian Meat Village. In fact, what he wants to get should be black crystals, and Liu Qindong and his teammates are very likely after this. Will fight with Liu Hanyue.

   However, Liu Xing remembered that Liu Qindong came to his house when he was a child, so he also met Liu Tingting several times. We also played red and white games together, so if Liu Qindong had a better memory, he should be able to recognize Liu Hanyue as Liu Tingting.

   That would be interesting.

   It's just that Liu Xing is more worried that if something happens to Liu Hanyue, will Wu Lei and Liu Qindong have a confrontation mod? At that time, Liu Xing would feel a pity no matter who his two old friends were at a loss.

   But Liu Xing has no way to change all this now, so I can only hope that Wu Lei can take Liu Hanyue to a farther place for their honeymoon, so that Liu Hanyue will not have time to rush back to Qinling to participate in the same module with Liu Qindong.

   Thinking of this, Liu Xing decided to wait a while to spend time, and went to Wu Lei to ask him if he had plans for a honeymoon, and if so, where would he go.

At this moment, the passers-by next to A, B, C, and Ding began to chat about the explosion just now, because they got the news that the camera near the parking lot captured the cause and effect of all this - the car had a problem with the fuel tank, so it kept leaking oil; As a result, the other car next to it started normally, and somehow ignited the oil on the ground, and then the fire ignited the car "following the rules".

"The reason for this is very strange. It seems that it may be that another car pressed on a small stone on the ground when it started, and then the small stone fell near the pool of oil when it flew out, and the sparks generated by friction Set the oil on fire."
