Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 1907 Cold Sweat

   "Hey, isn't this because my judgment has failed, otherwise there would not be such a shameful situation."

Guan En shook his head and said: "But now I have confirmed that the small treasury of the innkeeper is in that deep well, so I am going to rest for a while, and then go there after midnight, but this time I have to make preparations in advance. lest you come to rescue me again."

Liu Xing nodded, looked at the moonlight outside the window and said: "The weather today is not bad, so you don't need to go down the well in the dark, but you still have to be careful, I suspect that the innkeeper will hold back, because this deep well Although it is hidden, if someone finds something hidden in it, that person can easily take it out as long as he is prepared; so I think the innkeeper should set up some traps, such as the pressing trap? As long as When you pick up those gold and silver jewels, the wellhead above your head will automatically close? So I mind if you check to see if there are any traps nearby before you do it."

"That's right, Guan En, you have said that this mission is related to whether you can pass the introductory mission of the Miaoshou Kongkongmen, so I think this mission is definitely not as simple as you think, and even I suspect that the innkeeper is also a Miaoshou A member of Kongkongmen, and this so-called small treasury is a trap set by Miaoshou Kongkongmen!" Zuo Xin said seriously.

Guan En thought for a while, nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable. I thought about it carefully now and found that I had already completed the task of entering the room before triggering the task of joining the Miaoshou Kongkongmen. The introduction of this character card also mentioned that I am a well-known gentleman in the Flying Tiger City, so this mission may indeed be specially prepared for me by Miaoshoukongkongmen! Because the innkeeper has information about the small treasury, Miaoshoukongkong The door provided it to me on my own initiative, and I only knew that the innkeeper was a bit stingy, but I didn't expect him to be so rich, after all, the inn is not the property of the innkeeper himself."

"If this is the case, I have to take back what I said before, that is, the reason why your feet slipped may not be an accident, but a trap prepared by Miaoshoukongkongmen! Because this time the martial arts model To put it bluntly, the group is also an ancient module, so the lifestyle of the NPCs is similar to that of the ancients. As long as they are not engaged in some special occupations like Guan Enyou, then they all work at sunrise and rest at sunset, even if it is cold water. The bath will also be done around dark, and it is unlikely to get up to take a shower in the middle of the night like me; so Miaoshoukongkongmen knows when you will do it, so he adds something beside the deep well in advance, such as lard or something? "

Liu Xing said seriously: "So you can check it when you pass by later, if this is the case, you can point it out when you face the examiner of Miaoshoukongkongmen, I believe this will give you an extra bonus Minute."

   "Well, I'll check it later."

Guan En nodded and said: "If this is the case, then I can go back to my examiner directly, because this is a set trap to put it bluntly, and I will really be an idiot if I jump down again! By the way , the headquarters of Miaoshou Kongkongmen is in another city, so if I pass the exam, I have to report there, but I should still have a few days of buffer time, so I can go to Tianshui Town to join the alliance first; but I am in Feihu City There is also a courtyard in the courtyard, which contains some things that are not easy to sell, so if you don’t dislike it, then I will give this courtyard and all the things in it to the alliance, so that the alliance can be considered in Feihu City A foothold."

  Liu Xing naturally does not refuse to come, because the player has less than a year's "life" in this martial arts module, so he can really treat money as dung.

"By the way, leader, what is the Wangxiang Terrace you are talking about? My character card is well-informed in Feihu City, and I have some knowledge about Boyang City where the alliance is located, but I have never heard of it. Wangxiangtai, of course, I do know that there is a place called Wangxiangtai in Yincao Difu, where people can take a look at their family members before reincarnating." Guan En said curiously.

Liu Xing smiled, and said: "It seems that your luck is also quite bad. You have already found Feihu City and you are reluctant to move the mouse. You must know that Wangxiang Terrace is near Boyang City, so we put The birth point is in Boyang City."

"Uh, how should I put it, after all, I had already chosen Feihu City at the beginning, so I didn't think about looking at the surrounding situation, but since this Wangxiang Terrace is a special place, the inside There should be some good things, right?" Guan En continued to ask.

"That's for sure. Think about the origins of the other special locations in this martial arts module? So we can be sure that the trip to Wangxiangtai will bring a lot of benefits, but the premise is that we have the ability to Explore Wangxiangtai! Because whether it is Boyang City or the nearby Yuanxi City, we have not found a clue about Wangxiangtai, and there is not even a related folklore, so this means that Wangxiangtai is either The artificial buildings that have only appeared in recent years, or people have been covering up their existence, or the road to Wangxiangtai is comparable to the Shu road that is difficult to reach the blue sky! If it is the latter, it is okay to say, we will be fine if we are careful Yes, but if it is the former, it will be troublesome, because it means that we need to conflict with a mysterious organization."

Liu Xing frowned and said, "But now that we have the third prince as our backer, we have more choices! When we find that something is wrong, we can ask the third prince to intervene in this matter. Although it will suffer a bit, it won't be like losing a sip of the soup, or losing the wife and losing the army."

   "Huh? Leader, you put a lot of pressure on me by saying that."

Guan En stroked the back of his head and said: "Although I have some confidence in the ability of this character card, I don't have any hope for my current luck! Not only did I accidentally slip my foot today, but I also appeared two days ago. Fortunately, there were no major problems in those few times, otherwise I would not be sitting here now; and if Wangxiang Terrace was the site of a mysterious organization, then I might not be able to do it in the past. How long will it take to get caught, and then I will have no choice but to leave the game."

"That's why we need you to go to Miaoshou Kongkongmen for further training. If possible, we would still like your strength, but if even you are not confident, then we can find a way to invite your senior brothers, or masters and uncles." Help them out, and then all valuable things will belong to them, anyway, we players have no interest in money." Liu Xing said with a smile.

   "Well, this is a good idea. I don't think people who are skilled and empty-handed will not refuse, because this is a big deal." Guan En nodded and said.

Just when Liu Xing was about to say something, Guan En suddenly pointed to the Yehou statue that Liu Xing put aside, to be precise, it was the box containing the Yehou statue and said: "By the way, leader, what is in your box?" Things? If it’s a relatively valuable item, I suggest you don’t put it like this, because in the eyes of people like us, this box represents a valuable object! After all, it can be packed in a wooden box of this size The thing, nine out of ten is a decoration?"

  As soon as Guan En said this, Liu Xing also felt that the wooden box containing the Yehou statue was very valuable, even though the wooden box didn't have too much decoration, and it seemed to be made of ordinary wood.

And Liu Xing thought about it in a different position, and found that if he was a person with ulterior motives, then when he saw someone carrying such a wooden box with him, he would naturally think that this wooden box might contain a small ornament , and this decoration should be very valuable!

  Because if this ornament is worthless and just an ordinary wood carving and clay sculpture, then there is no need to put it in a box and carry it with you! So this ornament must at least be something of some value.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing was in a cold sweat, because Liu Xing realized now that he hadn't paid much attention to the safety of the Night Roar Statue. After all, other players would get a reminder when they encountered the Night Roar Statue. Lost interest in this statue of Yehou, so before that, Liu Xing subconsciously thought that it was impossible to lose this statue of Yehou, so every time he stayed in a certain place, he would put this statue of Yehou aside. When he left, he didn't even think of moving a place for the Yehou statue.

  If it weren't for the trip to Liangcheng this time, Liu Xing might not have packed it in a wooden box.

  So before Guan En spoke, Liu Xing really didn't realize that this Night Roar statue would attract the attention of NPCs, and some NPCs might actually "take" this Night Roar statue away!

You must know that this Night Roar Statue has a certain deterrent effect on players, but it is a valuable decoration for NPCs, and if they know that this Night Roar Statue is made by a famous artist, then there will be more The NPC came after hearing the sound.

   If the Yehou statue disappears by then, then Liu Xing really doesn't know how to cry.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly said: "There is indeed a very valuable statue in this wooden box, but its subject matter is quite special, it is the clone of Nyarlathotep - Night Roar! So this statue belongs to me. It is related to an exclusive mission, if it is far away from me for a certain distance and time, then my exclusive mission will fail; but other players will receive a reminder when they touch this statue, so even if they take it away It’s useless, so I really didn’t pay much attention to this statue before this, because I have already forgotten that NPCs may be tempted by it.”

   While Liu Xing was speaking, Zuo Xin brought the wooden box over with great insight, and asked Guan En to touch the Yehou statue.

After getting the prompt, Guan En nodded and said: "So that's the case, leader, you really don't need to worry about players taking it away, because taking it away is of no benefit at all, but I can be sure that my NPC colleagues are seeing it. When you see this statue, you will be tempted 100%! After all, the sculptor of this statue is a master-level handwriting, and the material of this statue does not look like common metal, so you must not take this statue casually It will be displayed so that some NPCs will not use their brains! However, the theme of this statue is indeed a bit evil for NPCs, so even if you lose it, you don’t need to worry too much, because it should be quite difficult to sell.”

"Yes, the three of us are from Dongyang in the real world, and Dongyang is also a famous hometown of woodcarving in China, so I remember that when I was young, many of my classmates were engaged in woodcarving-related industries, so I heard them say The starting price of wood carvings, in addition to the sculptor’s craftsmanship, is to choose a suitable theme! Two pieces of wood that spend the same amount of time on carvings by the same sculptor may be sold. Because of the different carving themes, the price difference is about double! For example, happy themes such as flowers blooming and riches are worth more than ordinary flowers, birds, fish and insects."

Zuo Xin nodded and said: "As for this Yehou statue, although the workmanship and materials are obvious at first glance, it is not easy, but this theme is a bit beyond the cognition of the NPCs in this module, or even if it is placed In the real world, let those who don’t understand the Cthulhu mythology evaluate this Night Roar statue, they may only think that the sculptor’s craftsmanship is good, but they will not buy it if they have money.”

   "But anyway, leader, you also know the truth of not revealing money, so it's better not to put this Yehou statue in a wooden box, or you have to be careful in the future, and don't let others see this wooden box."

Guan En stroked his chin and continued: "Of course, if I were to give advice from a professional perspective, I think you can buy a cloth bag, then put this Night Roar statue in it, and then put some more Twigs and the like, so that it looks like a pocket of twigs from the outside! Of course, you can also put some other fillings, in short, it doesn’t look like it.”

Liu Xing nodded, which made Zuo Xin repack the Yehou statue into the wooden box, "Well, if you didn't remind me this time, Guan En, then I might really want to cry later! So. . . ”

   Before Liu Xing finished speaking, there was a burst of noise outside.

   Liu Xing subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and as a result, he could see the faintly beating firelight through the window.

   Is this on fire?

   Liu Xing got up and pushed open the window, only to find that not far away was already burning into the sky.
