Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1702 Keeping pace with the times

   "Oh, He Rong, has your uncle been arrested? How is he now?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

"Yeah, that uncle of mine has already been taken away. I heard that he only suffered a little skin injury when he got out of the car. Of course, the possibility of internal injury is not ruled out... But I really didn't expect it. He is so cruel, he wants to kill his relatives righteously without saying a word."

He Rong said with lingering fears: "To be honest, I know that my uncle might want to do something to me, but I didn't expect him to kill him as soon as he came up. If I happened to be at the door at the time, I think I would. Otherwise, it is possible to be created by this dump truck into another world.”

"So anyway, He Rong, your family must move as soon as possible, because your uncle's operation is quite scary, but if he intends to defend, then it can be said that it is because of his improper operation. The vehicle rolled over, so he would be in prison for a few years at most and then come out, after all, he didn't directly say what he would do to you before that." Deng Yan said seriously.

He Rong nodded and said affirmatively: "That's true, although my uncle did not say before that he would kill me and my family, but from what he is doing now, it can be seen that this man It's really crazy, and he doesn't treat my family as his relatives, so I have to move out of Rongcheng with my parents before he comes out! Anyway, my tutor has assured me some time ago, as long as there are no accidents If so, I will be able to stay at the school to become a teacher next year, so I plan to settle there as well."

"Congratulations, He Rong, it's really good that you can stay in school to be a teacher in your major. After all, it's not easy to find a suitable job after you go out, unless you are willing to give up your law major and find another way out. "Song He said with a smile.

He Rong sighed, shrugged and said, "Yeah, my major is now a typical high-level, low-level job. If I want to find a suitable high-paying job, those companies look down on my school, because the same salary can be found. Staff from better schools...but if you want me to take a step back and look for those ordinary jobs, I will feel that I am a grad student for nothing, so when I wanted to go out and look for a job, people really The more you look, the more depressed you are."

"Fortunately, I have made some achievements during this time, and a few experiments are considered to be remembered that I have completed, so my teacher recommended me to the school as soon as I was happy, and I got the opportunity to stay at the school as a teacher; Although the salary of staying at the school as a teacher is quite average, but you can use the school's laboratory to continue doing your own things, which is also a long-term lottery ticket for yourself. You can scratch it when you have nothing to do. A good thing came out of research, and it allowed me to go straight to the pinnacle of my life.”

Hearing what He Rong said, Liu Xing thought of the fortune-teller compass, so after thinking for a moment, he said: "By the way, He Rong, I have a friend who is in the same major as you, and he said that your circle has recently started. I drew lots to see feng shui before the popular and re-experiment, and it seems to be quite accurate, right?"

He Rong looked at Liu Xing with some surprise, then nodded and said: "Yes, many laboratories in our industry have begun to popularize the practice of opening the altar before starting work. This is also a custom that existed many years ago. After all, you also know that we also need luck when conducting experiments, especially those experiments that are not very sure and cost a lot of money. If an accident happens, it will not only be time-consuming, labor-intensive, but also expensive, so there were some people in the past. Before doing the experiment, I will light incense in the bedroom or something, which is more or less a psychological comfort; this is a bit like a lot of card drawing games now, if you don't want to die, it's not that kind of choice. In the words of Emperor Ou, then you can only believe in metaphysics, such as taking a look at the card you want to draw before drawing a card, or drawing a circle to frame the card or something."

"Of course, before this, metaphysical practices like this were all personal behaviors, and they were generally not carried out in the laboratory. After all, our biochemical and environmental materials major is still very scientific; The school doesn't have so many rules, because the laboratory can't produce any results all year round. If you continue to take the card game as an example, it will be ten times a year, and the final result will be a blue sky and white clouds. After all, these experiments are not guaranteed. Yes, so by now, many schools like mine have already been laid flat, and the experiments they do every year are to complete the task and ensure that they will have research funds next year."

"Therefore, I heard that some students have started to work on their own. I don't know where they got some bamboo tubes from lottery, and even got out the compass and the money of the five emperors. Outsiders who don't know it think that our experiment has failed. Decided to collectively cut and go home; I didn’t expect that this operation really had an effect, bringing the success rate of those laboratories to a higher level. This is the real effect! To be honest, this effect is enough for us to experiment. Everyone in the room made a collective knock before performing the operation, so this operation quickly became popular, and it was perfected little by little. For example, the lottery must be a bamboo tube, not a wooden barrel or other materials. At the same time, the number of bamboo sticks in it is also stipulated."

"All in all, there is already a website dedicated to making props, and it's only open to us related practitioners, so this thing seems to be getting more and more mysterious, and we scientists really want to collectively transfer to theology. Home... But the problem is that this operation is really useful. I have seen with my own eyes that my teacher used this operation to successfully perform two consecutive experiments with a success rate of only about 20%. times, so I did a little experiment, and then successfully completed a few experiments.”

Having said this, He Rong sighed, "To be honest, I already consider myself a proper scientist, so I still reject this kind of operation, because this thing is really unscientific. It's completely beyond my understanding; but it's also really fragrant, you can raise the success rate of your experiment to a higher level just by moving your little hands, and no one will really choose to refuse."

Although He Rong said "I have to believe it", but as a player who has exercised the value of the "Observing Words" skill to 80 points in the Cthulhu running group game hall, Liu Xing can see that He Rong is a little bit. Lies are definitely not telling the truth.

   So the thing about the lottery tube and the compass should be true, and He Rong has experienced it and chose to join.

   That would be interesting.

"By the way, I heard a piece of news when I came here today, that is, the website I just mentioned doesn't know whether it's planning to engage in hunger marketing, or whether it really wants to make a living. It is decided that only a certain number of products will be launched every month in the future, and buyers have to bind their own schools and laboratories, because each school and laboratory can only have one or two products of his family, so this leads to a certain In order to compete for the right to use this thing, the brothers fought against each other in a laboratory, and in short, some very embarrassing things happened, so after a few schools discussed it, we were not allowed to spread these things out." He Rong added.

Song He smiled after hearing this, nodded and said, "It's easy to understand. If it were me, I wouldn't let the students spread these things out, because even if doing so is really effective, it seems to outsiders that it is A joke! For example, the famous smog and anti-laser, kelp wrapped around submarines in the past few years sounds quite funny to ordinary people like me, but there is still a certain possibility at the practical level; and the saying goes well , This rumor spreads its mouth, refutes the rumor and breaks the leg. When ordinary people hear this kind of news, it is a joke, and they will not really understand the inside story, and when they chat with others, they will say it as a joke, so this rumor Ten, ten and one hundred, and in the end, it becomes a convention."

"Uh, Song He, your words reminded me of several classic rumors. These rumors have existed for more than ten or twenty years. Although they were all refuted at the time, many people still regard this as common sense, and even There are signs that have been passed down from generation to generation; for example, the earliest theory that aluminum pots are toxic and carcinogenic is a classic, because the rumor makers didn’t do it intentionally, but he only knew that this aluminum had serious harm to the human body, but he didn’t do it intentionally. I don't know that there is a dense oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum pot, which can ensure that the aluminum ions will not come into contact with food, and this oxide layer is very stable, and there is no problem in normal use. As a result, this rumor finally destroyed the aluminum pot. the industry."

Deng Yan sighed and said helplessly: "I have an uncle who used to sell all kinds of kitchen utensils and tableware, and the aluminum pans that were rumored to be light, durable and cheap, so they sold very well at that time. I think everyone present was a child. Have you ever used an aluminum pan before? As soon as this rumor came out, the sales of aluminum pans in my uncle’s shop went straight to zero, even if this batch of goods was all smashed; but the most important thing is that this made him angry. I have high blood pressure, and when I accidentally fell into the store, I pulled down a shelf on the side, and finally made myself paralyzed..."

"this..."

   Liu Xing and others could not help but fell into silence.

Just like what Deng Yan said, Liu Xing also remembered that there were several aluminum pots at home when he was a child, and it was very convenient to use it for braised meat and boil water. The aluminum pot was put on the shelf and never used again; and when Liu Xing knew this was a rumor, he was already in college, so Liu Xing, who lived on campus, did not take this matter in the first place. I told my parents that when I came home one day, I saw my parents selling waste products, including the aluminum pots at home. Only then did Liu Xing remember to refute the rumors to his parents. As a result, Liu Xing's parents were very surprised at the time. , because they always thought it was true.

Of course, Liu Xing is now in some food video websites, as long as there are aluminum pots, MSG and other rumor victims appear, someone will definitely say that this will cause cancer, and it is not alone, so it can be seen from this These rumors that appeared more than ten or twenty years ago could not be refuted in a timely manner due to the underdeveloped information transmission conditions at that time, resulting in many people still unaware that these rumors are false.

  If there is no internet all the time, Liu Xing feels that these rumors may really be passed down from generation to generation, and finally become a truth!

"So the rumors are terrible. I remember that America didn't release a TV series recently. The name seems to be "New God". The content is about a new group of gods in the context of the new era, from the imagination of human beings. Born out of worship, such as the **** of the Internet, the **** of machinery, etc., these gods have taken away some of the authority of the old gods like Odin and Jesus; the one that impresses me the most is the **** of communication, because he directly He completely absorbed the authority of the God of Lies, so after he cooperated with the God of the Internet, he quickly passed on some unfavorable information or rumors to the old gods, which caused modern people to be even more disgusted with the old gods. trust."

As soon as Song He said this, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning, because Turings who escaped from the game hall of the Cthulhu running group can be called "the **** of the Internet" or "the **** of computers" , and Ou Guanhai also mentioned that old and new rulers like Turings will continue to appear.

Of course, Liu Xing also understands this very well, because Liu Xing also feels that the old masters written by the great master of craftsmanship are a bit outdated by now. The mythical creatures on the scientific side such as Siren and Mi Go, some of their settings are not "sci-fi" enough in the eyes of today's people.

   So the myth of Cthulhu also needs to keep pace with the times, and launch some old-time rulers and mythical creatures with the characteristics of the times, so that fans can feel more empathy.

  For example, Ke Zong's dream and Turings' game hypnosis, although in essence they both affect and control a person, but in the eyes of readers, there is a difference between "fantasy" and "science fiction".

  So Liu Xing always thought that the appearance of Turings represented that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall was ready to launch some new old rulers, and the abilities of these old rulers were also related to modern technology! Of course, some old-fashioned Dominators will also be upgraded and evolved. For example, the Mother of the Stars, who took refuge in White River City, controlled a wooden sailboat to play the ghost ship in the original setting, so the current Mother of the Stars can control a missile. Destroyer to pretend to be a fully automatic unmanned nuclear powered ship!
