Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2053 Spell? !

"As a player, we can get all kinds of information that NPCs don't know. For example, the name of the martial arts module this time is unknown to those NPCs, so they won't realize that martial arts masters will become the protagonists of this big drama. , the new Dragon Emperor and their sons are just a foil."

Liu Xing looked at Alice and said seriously: "Alice, this is the first time you have left the original parallel world, so I am very worried whether you can adapt to the process from NPC to player? If you just follow me If you keep thinking about it, then you have been recruited, because you have not adapted to your player status, and you have not jumped out of the role you play to think about problems, but the good thing is that you have now realized that you are A player, not some NPC."

Alice nodded, and replied with a wry smile: "Yes, if Liu Xing hadn't reminded me so much, I really didn't realize that I was already a player, because I had accepted that I was Liang Waner's maid before that, So the way of thinking about problems is indeed similar to when I was an NPC before...According to some actors, this should be too involved in the drama, right?"

   "Exactly."

Liu Xing sighed and said: "Actually, we players in the game lobby of the Cthulhu running team are also very pursuing the realm of entering the drama, because the character cards we need to play may be different from our original personality. In the real world, I am an ordinary person, and I have never encountered any major events. As a result, I encountered all kinds of anecdotes and strange events in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, as well as major events such as the Battle of Gongwu, not to mention that I also There are other character cards."

"Although most of the time, the game lobby of Cthulhu Running Group does not have high requirements for players' acting skills, as long as there is no serious conflict with the character card settings, but if the acting skills are excellent, you can still get some The benefits, such as being able to mingle with NPCs faster; but it is not a good thing to get too deep into the game. After all, we are fighting for our lives in the game hall of the Cthulhu running team, so normal players will not run in the Cthulhu running team Staying in the game lobby for too long."

"For example, after Zhang Jingxu and I have completed a module, unless there is some special reason, we will delay until the last day to open a new module. Of course, we are all Cthulhu now. Players in the region, so there is no need to complete the module requirements for a long time. In theory, they can stay in the real world for a long time... But this is actually not realistic, because our character cards Maybe I will participate in the module on my own, and then disappear inexplicably."

"Back to the previous topic, if you get too involved in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, you may be very uncomfortable after returning to the real world. After all, there are no mythical creatures in the real world, so I I heard that some players did a lot of scandals after returning to the real world because they were too involved in the game; but this is considered good, because some players directly gave their lives, I miss you, Alice I have also read the player rules of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, which mentions that players cannot mention the Cthulhu Running Group game hall to unrelated people."

"Of course, most of the players who are too deep in the game actually can't tell what is the real world and what is the module of the Cthulhu Running Team game hall, so if they have not been torn off the card, in the real world The best place to end up would probably be a hospital, and it does, a friend of a friend of mine already lives in it; so your situation, Alice, is unique in that you've been an NPC until recently, and After becoming a gamer, your life doesn't really change much."

Hearing what Liu Xing said, Alice nodded and said, "Yeah, I also feel that after I become a player, my life is actually the same as before. I still eat what I should eat, what I should sleep, and what I should sleep in the social circle. There are only a few people, and there is no big change. At most, when I participate in the module with Liu Xing and you, I can occasionally pass a judgment once or twice... However, I am not like Liu Xing and you. Get the general information of this module before the module starts, and there is no way to directly change your own belongings when the module starts.”

At the beginning of the module, players can change their belongings in advance, put some props purchased in the mall into the item column of the character card, or transfer a certain prop from the character card to the "warehouse" to avoid this items may be lost or damaged in this mod.

Of course, players can also transfer an item from one character card to another, or simply send it to the real world, but these two operations will be subject to certain restrictions, because some items are bound. It is impossible to complete the above operations if you do not specify items. For example, in the limited gift packs sold by the Cthulhu Running Group game hall during certain festivals, some fixed items in it can only be used by a certain character card.

But having said that, Liu Xing seems to have never used the function of changing props before the start of the module, because Liu Xing doesn't have many necessary props; and before the start of the module, Liu Xing and others did not extract much information from the module introduction, so they knew what kind of place they might go to, so if this place is not in a harsh environment, there is no need to change the props of the character card .

What's more, there is a very special restriction on changing props, that is, the props must be portable, after all, no one would run around with a big cauldron on their back, even if this big cauldron can conjure various ingredients out of thin air .

This is also the reason why Liu Xing did not buy this big tripod in the mall, because this thing can only be placed in a certain place in the module, so the practicality is very ordinary. After all, if this big tripod is placed at home If it is not, then the ingredients created out of thin air may not be to your liking, it is better to go to the market to buy it yourself; and if it is in the wild, this big cauldron can solve the food problem, but this thing is not something that a few people can do. Run around with it casually.

  So when Liu Xing and others were discussing what props could be taken out of the martial arts module, they gave up those large props that seemed powerful but were inconvenient to carry, such as the red cannon.

That's right, red cannons and muskets have already appeared in this martial arts module, but the power of this red cannon is not as powerful as a punch from some first-class masters, and the hit rate and damage of muskets are even worse. The disciples of the outer sect are so powerful that they can be thrown at random, so these guns are almost like chicken ribs in the Xinlong Empire. To deal with big ships, the musket has become an advanced version of the shotgun in the hands of some people who do not know martial arts.

For example, Young Master Ying has an exquisitely crafted musket in his hand, which was a gift he received on his birthday, but he put it on the shelf after not using it a few times, because this musket is not as good as a bow and crossbow when hunting. , but this musket still looks very beautiful, and it also gives people a feeling of ignorance, so when Young Master Ying came to Tianshui Town this time, he also deliberately brought this musket.

Then, this musket was borrowed by Yin En to play with for a few days, and the reason why Yin En did this was because Huo Zijun and others planned to mass-produce this musket to make up for the lack of combat power in Tianshui Town, after all In Tianshui Town today, apart from those brought by Young Master Ying, there is no one who can fight.

As a result, the re-enactment plan of the smoothbore gun did not go smoothly, because the technological requirements of the smoothbore gun were still quite high. Just making a barrel was already troublesome enough, and the problem of lack of gunpowder had not been resolved, so Liu Xing It is estimated that this plan may not be finished.

   "I will learn to change my way of thinking in the past two days and make myself more like a player."

Alice looked at Liu Xing and said seriously: "But I feel that although I have become a player, the problem is that I can only be regarded as half a player! Because Liu Xing, you can return to the real world, and my reality The world is the parallel world of the Cthulhu running team game hall, so I either stay where I am, or go to other parallel worlds... I have no interest in going to other parallel worlds, after all, I only have this one now A character card, if something happens in other parallel worlds, won’t I be gone?”

   "Ah? Alice, you should have points to buy new character cards, right?" Liu Xing asked suspiciously.

   In Liu Xing's view, Alice and her group have already participated in several modules, so she should have accumulated a lot of points, which can buy some good character cards.

   "I don't have any other character cards now, because I haven't left my real world before."

Alice shrugged and said: "Didn't I just say that after I became a player, my life hasn't changed much. At most, after Liu Xing and you turned on the mod, I secretly provided you with some Help; but to be honest, this is still the same as when I was an NPC before, that is, I can see the result of the judgment."

Liu Xing thought for a while, and felt that what Alice said seemed very reasonable, because as long as he put himself in another position, Liu Xing also felt that the gap between players and NPCs was mainly reflected in the word "thinking". In fact, the difference is almost the same. After all, in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, players must abide by the rules, and their performance should not be much different from NPCs.

So if Liu Xing is allowed to play an NPC, then Liu Xing feels that there is really nothing that needs to be changed, as long as he does not take the initiative to make any judgments, it will be over, and at most one more thing - don't think about standing out, follow other NPCs and players Action will do.

"It seems that Liu Xing, you already understand why I haven't been to the mall, right? Because I'm used to the life of NPCs, so after Liu Xing and you leave the mod, I still live an ordinary life like before. What should I do? Just do whatever, but in the recent period, that is, after we came to Miskatonic University, I like to go to the school library to read, because I can feel that doing so can improve my strength, such as my I learned a spell two days ago."

  While talking, Alice put the water glass on her palm, and then the wooden water glass was suddenly ignited.

   Not only did this startle Liu Xing, but even the instigator, Alice, was so frightened that he threw out the water glass.

   Fortunately, there was still a lot of water in this water cup, so after being thrown out, the flame that had just ignited was extinguished directly.

   "What's the situation? How can I use this spell?"

  Alice looked at Liu Xing with a puzzled face, and Liu Xing was even more bewildered, because Liu Xing didn't know why Alice could do this.

Although in this martial arts module, many martial arts masters can do this kind of thing, but they all use internal force to heat the wood, and then let the temperature of the wood reach a critical point, and then it will automatically ignite, just like in the In hot summer, forests in some dry areas will suddenly spontaneously combust.

  However, Liu Xing can be sure that the character card Alice is using now, although she will work hard under Liang Waner's training, it may be insufficient in terms of internal strength.

   So how does Alice do all this?

Looking at Liu Xing who was full of doubts, Alice took the initiative to say: "I just tried to silently recite the spells and spells I learned before, but it turned into this picture just after finishing the recitation, but I can be sure that this character of mine Ka doesn't know this spell, or she has never been exposed to so-called spells, so what's going on?"

  Spell?

With a flash of inspiration, Liu Xing immediately understood what was going on, "So, it seems that the spells we learned in other parallel worlds can also be used in this martial arts module, because the two worlds The rules of operation are actually the same. After all, they are all related to the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group! According to our previous guess, the world you live in, Alice, will directly change after being assimilated by the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group. It becomes a string of codes! And this string of codes cannot conflict with other codes to avoid bugs!"

"This is like a chess and card game hall in the real world. In order to allow players to play chess, go, poker and mahjong at the same time, and use the same game currency to exchange points for various games, it must The codes of these different games must not conflict, so as not to cause the entire game lobby to crash due to a bug in one game!"
