Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1714 Update Announcement (Ask for another subscription)

"This may be because the time has not come, so you haven't heard about the specific situation of the nine-color crystal, but Liu Qindong has already changed the number, and the whereabouts of the nine-color crystal are still found. It seems that this task is straightforward. It is bound to Liu Qindong."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Mobius continued: "No, the information about the nine-color crystal should be related to a book called "Unsolved Miscellaneous Talk"! Because the first time I heard that the nine-color crystal was What I read in this book, I was shopping at a night market with other people when I suddenly saw a person selling this kind of shoddy magazines. Several other players were participating in a mod, but they had to wait a few days to advance to the next plot, so they bought a few magazines when they had nothing to do, because although there are various kinds of books in this kind of stall, But it's enough to pass the time."

"As a result, the book "Unsolved Miscellaneous Talks" that Liu Qindong received mentioned nine-color crystals, but the general content should be that if the nine-color crystals can be collected and made into a set of jewelry, then it can bring the wearer Luckily, then take an example of a king I've never heard of; aside from this nine-color crystal, the rest of the magazine's content is the kind of bizarre stories copied from the Internet, or the UFO and water monster incidents. Yes, but the last article is very interesting, it seems to mention Glaaki, the king of the lake! Because the author mentioned the Loch Ness monster, the sky monster and other famous water monsters all over the world are actually the same one."

"Huh? This is a bit interesting. Under normal circumstances, no matter how big the author's brain is, it is impossible to think that two water monsters separated by more than half of the earth will be the same, unless he thinks that there are a large number of water monsters between the earth. The connecting channels allow the water monsters to go to the other side of the earth along these channels! Besides, as long as you read the news about these famous water monsters, you can find that in addition to the basic plesiosaur shape, these water monsters also have other fish like big fish. Shape, so it doesn't look like the same water monster." Liu Xing said with a smile.

"But the problem is that the author's conjecture is correct, because in the parallel world with the Cthulhu myth as the background, 80% of the various lake monsters except the locals fake to attract tourists. The possibility is Glaki! After all, this guy has a passive skill - it can appear in any lake on earth; that's why Liu Qindong and I have a fresh memory of this magazine, and we also remembered the nine-color crystal by the way. It exists, but the bookstore ghost like this knows which small workshop it is printed in, not to mention that those articles have no author signature at all."

"That's true. I remember that when I was studying, there was a second-hand bookstore in front of the school. Books like this were basically one yuan per book, and some famous magazines were only about two yuan, so there was no intelligence at that time. I like to buy this kind of old books to read at school. At that time, although I already had a computer at home, my family didn’t care about me very much. As long as my academic performance did not drop too much, or I played games all night, it would be fine. But at that time, as long as I could turn on the computer, I might play various games, or watch the latest anime movies or something, so I can check all kinds of information on the computer when I have time.”

"So the mysteries of various UFOs and unknown creatures mentioned on the covers of these stall books made me feel very fresh, so I would buy such a stall book every once in a while, but later I found that the content of this stall book was repeated. The rate is very high, so I turned to buy "Story Club" or something; but now that I think about it carefully, these books do not have the signature of the publisher and the author. It will be printed later, but this is also the memory of our generation of young people, so it is normal for Liu Qindong and the others to buy it."

Liu Xing said with some emotion: "I still remember that I used to like to peek at these extracurricular books under the textbook, and then put them in the pile of books after class, but one of my classmates accidentally knocked them off during class one day. I had a few books, and then an extra-curricular book in the middle appeared at the top, and was read by the teacher on the podium; but then again, I remember that the extra-curricular books I read before mentioned food Ghouls and deep divers, as well as mythical creatures such as Byaki, are just other names, so the Cthulhu Running Group game hall has already begun to be laid out at that time."

"Uh, I think it's normal to have these mythical creatures, or it's not those mythical creatures mentioned in these stall books, because mythical creatures like ghouls and deep divers are all over the world. There are relevant records in the folklore.”

Mobius continued: "But I suspect that Liu Qindong, who has changed a character card, may have heard about the nine-color crystal in other ways of customs clearance, and then thought of this local book, so he specifically went to find this kind of book. , and finally let him find it, so Liu Qindong relied on this book to open the story line of the nine-color crystal! Of course, I have also heard that there may be books in the stalls in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group. All kinds of information, because the essence of the Cthulhu running group game hall is still a game composed of various data and codes, so there may be some bugs."

   "Bug? I've heard of this, but it's quite normal. After all, the Cthulhu Run Group game hall has created so many parallel worlds, it's strange that there are no bugs." Liu Xing said affirmatively.

"Yeah, the reason why I was able to escape from the Cthulhu Running Group game hall to the real world is probably because there was a bug in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall when advancing the plot, or a memory overflow or something like that. The situation caused the original monolithic parallel world to be broken; and about the special information that appeared in the book on the stall, I suspect that there was a problem with a certain piece of code in the game hall of the Cthulhu Run Group, which made it appear in magic. The content of the book appeared on these stall books."

Mobius analyzed very seriously: "Then, the Cthulhu running group game hall is too lazy to modify this piece of code, because these stall books are generally not in the eyes of players, and most of the time these stall books are also It is sold in used bookstores or street stalls in some small cities, so it is difficult for players to access these stall books. As for those NPCs, they are not considered in the Cthulhu running group game hall, because the Cthulhu running group game There are 10,000 ways to handle these NPCs in the lobby."

"It seems reasonable for you to say that, but there is also a possibility that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall did it on purpose, and the purpose of it is to wait for a fateful person, or to make players think that this is the A bug, and then search everywhere for the same kind of stall books! Take this local stall book that Liu Qindong read as an example, it can be said that there is no really useful content on it! First of all, it is about the existence of Glaaki, I believe it is very important to Kesu. Anyone who knows Lu Myth or Cthulhu running group games knows that Glaaki can appear in lakes all over the world, not to mention the Cthulhu running group game hall players who saw this local book."

"Then there is this nine-color crystal. After reading the whole article, you can only know that there is such a thing, and when you don't know the existence of the nine-color crystal, you will treat this article as a folklore; even if you have already Knowing the existence of the nine-color crystal, I can't find more useful information from this article, so this rounding is equivalent to not knowing anything! Therefore, we must suspect that the Cthulhu Run Group game hall is revamping, Or to announce the existence of these important props in advance is equivalent to a very secret update announcement?"

"Oh, listening to Liu Xing, I think it makes sense. I remember that a few years ago, didn't the major game companies ask the major game companies to announce the various probabilities of unboxing and drawing cards? To ensure that players can be sure that they will How much resources can you spend to get the props you want, and as a result, some game companies have begun to tidy up. For example, there is a question mark in the lower left corner of the preview image of the card drawing interface. Only when you click the question mark can you see the specific probability, or update Announce the probability in a small font in a picture; of course, this is better than publishing some false probabilities. I remember a game that announced false probabilities. As a result, local tyrant players directly used a bunch of numbers to do experiments to verify that the probability is Fake." Mobius said with a smile.

Just as Liu Xing wanted to laugh a few times, he suddenly thought that Ao Guanhai had told himself that the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group was really designed according to the game, and shareholders of companies like them could not directly interfere with the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group. Normal operation, and at the same time have to abide by the various regulations of the Cthulhu running group game hall.

So now the problem comes, a normal multiplayer online game will definitely be updated frequently, because the game has to be constantly innovated to bring players a better gaming experience, so as to retain active players; so I have experienced Players of the online game boom more than ten years ago should know that many popular online games lost a large number of players due to version updates. The most common one is that the content needs to be updated on time, so the plot copy is too late to polish, Or the value of the equipment item is unreasonable.

   "God of War" is a good example. The plot in the early stage was very attractive to players, but in the later stage, because the time interval between updates became shorter and shorter, the plot became more and more hip, and finally collapsed completely.

   Of course, the Cthulhu Running Group game hall has never been worried about the loss of players, because players hope that the game will thrive and never stop playing than the Cthulhu Running Group game hall. . . If stopping the server can automatically unbind all players, then players should still hope that the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group will close down as soon as possible.

However, Liu Xing has also seen the update announcement of the Cthulhu running group game hall, and I have heard that several important versions have been updated before entering the Cthulhu running group game hall, but in general the Cthulhu running group game The update rate of the lobby is very slow, and it never mentions what it has updated. . . In addition to the announcement about the launch of the limited-time gift package in the mall.

So according to Mobius, the Cthulhu running group game hall should logically need to introduce to the players what they have updated. After all, the Cthulhu running group game hall is not a person in the game, but in the game Besides, there are some human touches.

Therefore, Liu Xing is a little suspicious that the real update announcement of the game hall of the Cthulhu running group was actually put on the books by "people" such as Ao Guanhai, so that Ao Guanhai and the others abide by the running group in Cthulhu. There is a regulation that announcements need to be made when the game lobby is updated, but the introduction of these updated contents is placed on the stall books that most players will not pay attention to, and even if some players see these stall books, they feel that this is the Some ordinary folklore or strange stories, in short, the kind you forget after reading them.

   In this way, Aoguanhai and their goals have been achieved.

   So what are they doing in Aoguanhai?

   That is to control important props such as nine-color crystals and their supporting plot modules in their own hands!

Take the nine-color crystal as an example. If the Cthulhu Running Group game hall mentions the nine-color crystal in a certain update announcement, and indicates that the nine-color crystal has been installed in a parallel world, then even if it is only mentioned. When the four characters of the nine-color crystal are reached, players in the parallel world will also go to find various crystals around them when they are free, in order to try to open the plot line of the nine-color crystal.

As a result, no one knows how many players will open the nine-color crystal plot line, and a large number of players pouring into the nine-color crystal plot line will cause the next modules to evolve into confrontation modules. It is the kind of several factions. In short, these nine-color crystals may never be gathered in the end, or it takes a lot of sacrifices to make the nine-color crystals reunite!

The most important thing is that it is difficult for senior players in the Cthulhu running group game hall to get a qualitative improvement. The battle between each other is a pure game of luck, so the novice players in the ghoul area want to overturn the Cthulhu area. It's not impossible to be a big player, and it's not difficult either!

  So, when the time comes, the ghost knows that the nine-color crystal will fall into the hands of that player!

Therefore, "people" such as Ao Guanhai put the important content of these update announcements in the bookstore, just to prevaricate the rules of the game hall of the Cthulhu running group, so that they can selectively tell these content to a certain player , so that only these selected players can open the corresponding module!

   As for the occasional few players who stray into the mod, that doesn't matter.
