Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2059 The player is not equal to the protagonist

   "To be on the safe side, I have to go back to Boyang City after breakfast tomorrow, so as not to cause anything strange to my master, because he is very suspicious, even for me as an apprentice."

Liu Qindong shook his head, sighed and said: "My talent is actually quite average, and my understanding is not the full score of 80 points of many players, but I am more honest than other players, so I became my master Therefore, after I entered the martial arts module this time, I received a reminder one day that the master should not be too suspicious of himself, and listed how much doubt certain behaviors would make the master under normal circumstances, such as I suddenly disappeared for a day this time, if there is a suitable reason, my master's doubts will increase by 50%."

"When the degree of doubt is full, my master will start to doubt me completely. Before that, the degree of doubt will decrease every day. Of course, some of my actions can also directly reduce the degree of doubt of my master, so This is a special mechanism that prevents me from leisurely learning martial arts by my master's side; but even if my doubts are full, my master may not directly attack me. It is when he suspects me for the third time that he will be cruel."

"But this is not necessarily true. If my behavior was too extreme and I didn't know how to repent when he doubted me for the first time, then my master might drive me away immediately, and I If the attitude is good enough, every time you get enough doubts because of some trivial things, and if you come forward to apologize before he even opens his mouth, then my master will be fine even if the doubts are full three times... But As the number of times full of doubt increases, my master will be more ruthless when he explodes!"

Speaking of this, Liu Qindong shuddered, "You may not know that my master will suddenly tear a goose's intestines with his hands even after a goose yells in front of him. Sore throat! That's why I have to stick to this day, because as long as it exceeds one day, my master's doubts will go from fifty to eighty, and then I may walk too fast and leave He's too close to be full of doubts."

   "Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."

  Yin En smiled and said: "I don't envy you anymore, because the pressure is so great every day, unlike us here where we can live happily without suddenly being slapped for no reason."

Liu Xing very much agrees with Yin En's statement, because Liu Qindong's situation is indeed stressful, just like a student sitting at the edge of the podium in the first row, the teacher will notice if he misses a little bit, and this teacher is very Strictly speaking, even if you are distracted and subconsciously turn your pen, you will be said a few words, let alone talk to your deskmate.

  So Liu Xing felt that Liu Qindong was still under a lot of pressure, and he didn't dare to do anything that might make his master suspicious, even if this thing was very common in daily life, such as getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. . . Therefore, Liu Xing began to suspect that if he switched roles with Liu Qindong, he might suffer from neurasthenia in this martial arts module.

"I can only take one step at a time, and the reason why I came to Tianshui Town to find you this time is actually to go out to relax, because this month has already given me a bit of a headache. After all, even if you Be careful, I don't know when I will make the master suspicious. For example, I felt that the weather was hot one day, so I wanted to eat porridge, and the result directly increased my master's doubts by 20 points. I guess it was because of worry. I add some special seasonings to this porridge."

Pointing to the empty bowl in front of him, Liu Qindong continued: "If I take such a bowl of cold noodles back, I must try it as soon as possible, so as to dispel my master's doubts! If you make food by yourself under your nose, and it’s from scratch, then this can effectively reduce your doubts, because my master will only tell me a few words on the surface, but will pay attention to my every move secretly. , so he will still be very happy when he sees me cooking honestly and respecting him."

   "Then you can take your master to the market for a while, this may make your master less sensitive."

As a semi-professional in spirituality, Liu Xing gave his opinion, "Obviously, your master has obvious persecution paranoia, and now he feels that anyone may be against him, even you Apprentice, after all, you only became his apprentice last month, so it is normal for you not to be trusted; however, if you have been trying to make your master believe in you as much as possible, then Liu Qindong, you will be in the next few It gets more and more uncomfortable as the months go by, because your master will continue to put pressure on you."

"As for the delusional disorder of being persecuted, what we can do now is to try our best to break the knot in our hearts, let your master let go of his heart, and stop blindly doubting everything that happens around him, so Liu Qindong, you have to find a way to let him Go to a crowded place, and use some methods to divert his attention, so that your master will start to review after returning home, and find that you are not in danger all the time, and other people around you are not all Threat to him! So if everything goes well, your master will become almost like an ordinary person in a month or two."

   Don’t think that what Liu Xing said here is clear and precise, in fact, Liu Xing is a two-handed knife with a half-can of water clanging, that is, the kind that he feels he can practice directly after listening to a few lessons.

However, Liu Xing feels that his current opinion is quite reliable, because the main manifestation of patients suffering from persecution delusions is to suspect that everything around him will hurt him, so if he can find a way to gain his trust, then The patient's condition will improve significantly, at least not too resistant to everything around him.

"Uh, Liu Xing, you are taking it for granted. You must know that Liu Qindong's master has chosen to take Liu Qindong to live in a yard outside the city for safety reasons, so now you want him to follow Liu Qindong to go shopping in the city. Maybe you will get the information that your doubts will increase just after opening your mouth, and then you will continue to increase your doubts on the street, always feel that someone on the side of the road is conspiring with Liu Qindong and is planning to stab him in the back."

Yin En said very negatively: "And having said that, I think the difficulty you are encountering now, Liu Qindong, is not that whatever you do may arouse the suspicion of the master, but that there are other NPCs in that yard! The most important thing The most important thing is that these NPCs are related to the new city lord of Boyang City. In all likelihood, they shoulder the task of supervising you and your master, but it is not so obvious; so I suggest Liu Qindong, you should first think of a way to make your master no longer I suspect that you and other NPCs are on the sidelines, so as not to be implicated when the time comes."

Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Qindong was taken aback for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Yeah, how could I forget about this? These NPCs usually don't show their faces, so I really gave them Ignore it! Although these guys usually only move on their own one-acre three-point land, they will not enter the daily action area of ​​me and my master, such as the place where we eat, sleep and practice martial arts, so I really didn't pay much attention to them, but These people are all sent by the new city lord, and the new city lord is also very curious about my master's situation, so we have reason to suspect that these NPCs will secretly observe our every move."

"For example, the reason why I found the opportunity to go out this time is because these NPCs helped me restrain my master's actions, and this may become evidence of my secret collusion with those NPCs! So I have to explain it as soon as possible after I go back. This matter, I can’t make my master too suspicious! So I have to think of a more suitable reason to prove that my sudden departure is reasonable, and I have no contact with those NPCs! For example, my family suddenly fell ill, still..."

Before Liu Qindong finished speaking, Liu Xing interrupted directly: "How about this, Liu Qindong, just tell me your home address, and I will arrange people to pick up your family members, and then you will It can be said that I was anxious to leave after hearing about this matter. After all, this is related to the safety of my parents! At the same time, Liu Qindong, you can also establish a person who values ​​relatives by doing this, and show that you treat your master as a father It's a sign, after all, in this martial arts module, it's normal for apprentices to regard their master as their father."

  Liu Qindong thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea, so if you can, Liu Xing, arrange people to bring my parents back to Tianshui Town today, which just happens to solve one of my worries."

  So, Liu Xing randomly found a player and asked him to pick up Liu Qindong's parents back to Tianshui Town.

With the arrival of Gongziying, Liu Xing's status in the alliance has also risen, from a mascot to a veritable leader. After all, Gongziying has provided Liu Xing with a lot of support, and Yu Lei also has a very good relationship with Liu Xing .

  So as long as Liu Xing has a suitable reason now, he can order the players in the alliance to do things.

   "Liu Xing, you are quite prestigious in the alliance now."

As soon as Liu Xing sat back, Liu Qindong couldn't help but said: "When I came here, I was actually worried that you, the leader, are just a mascot. After all, the players in the alliance come from all over the world, and more than a hundred people are divided into more than thirty. It's a small team, so Liu Xing, it's not easy for you to convince yourself, not to mention that the reason why you were able to become the leader at the beginning was only because you had the first-mover advantage."

Liu Xing smiled, and said with a proud face: "Liu Qindong, you don't know, what I, Liu, is best at is making friends with others, so I have met several powerful NPCs, and they have also become my biggest friends. After all, there is a saying that you should not look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face! Most importantly, Liu Qindong, you should also know that in this martial arts module, the role of NPC is more than we imagined before, because we just In just one year, no matter how talented or lucky a player is, he can become a first-class master."

"That's right, although there are only about 200 first-class masters on the surface in this martial arts module, there must be more than 100 first-rate masters hidden in the dark, or even more! What's more, even if you become a First-class masters, players may still suffer in terms of weapons and equipment, so players are actually supporting roles in this martial arts module..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qindong's expression became a little strange, "Do you have the feeling that the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group has designed this martial arts module in a strange way, with a feeling of putting the cart before the horse? I know that in other modules, even if the strength of the player is far inferior to that of the NPC, they are still the absolute protagonists in this story. What those NPCs do is to serve the decisions made by the players, so we are in other modules. There will be such a feeling that after the player makes a decision, the NPC will make the corresponding action."

Yin En nodded without hesitation and said: "That's right, I do have a feeling of being the protagonist in other modules, although I don't want to be this protagonist, because no matter what I do, danger will always find me at the last moment I, let me have to go through a difficult time before I can end this module; and today's martial arts module is different, most of the things I have done so far are following in the footsteps of NPCs, because if I don't If we do, we will have to stay out of the main plot, and it will be difficult to enter the main plot later.”

   "It makes sense, and it doesn't make sense."

Liu Xing thought for a while, and said: "In this martial arts module, players, or individuals, actually don't have a big impression of the overall plot, because after the main plot starts, they will encounter groups of people every now and then. There are thousands of enemies in the team, so the room for players to operate becomes very small, especially for those lone wolf players, or a team of single-digit players like us, what they can do is to stand by Watch the excitement, take the time to complete some simple tasks, and for slightly more complicated tasks, you have to consider whether you have the ability."

"However, I think this is normal, or other modules seem to be too deliberate in the game hall of the Cthulhu running team. When the director knew to add scenes to us, it seems that some plots are too deliberate, such as In the end, we must arrange for the mythical creatures in the module to meet with us, to have a chase scene or something; so this martial arts module may just want to tell us one thing—the player is not equal to the protagonist.”
