Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2085 Clues across modules

  The main show is coming!

  When Liu Xing heard the word "Sweet Water", Liu Xing suddenly regained his energy, and immediately focused on Ah Yi and the others.

"According to the background information given by the module, the former site of the Tianshui tribe is only a few kilometers away from our side. It is a tribe at the foot of the mountain. The reason why they chose such a name is because there is a A sip of sweet spring, the water quality can be filled directly in the real world, and then sold in supermarkets for a three-digit price, so this sweet water tribe was the strongest tribe within a radius of a hundred miles before, without a doubt, none of them."

Ah said as he walked: "My grandfather once said to me that fields and water sources are very important to a village, because they are related to their life and death, so when he was young, he would often see someone Serious conflicts occurred because of fields or water sources; I think this can also be applied to the current mod, because the tribe we are in and the tribe opposite have been fighting for hundreds of years because of nothing more than mountains. Both sides consider the fertile land under their feet to be their own."

"The reason why the Tianshui tribe became history is because the sweet spring on the mountain was coveted by others. Of course, from the perspective of our modern people, the Tianshui tribe at that time was not very kind! The sweet spring flowing down the river will also flow through several other tribes; as a result, the Tianshui tribe directly built a reservoir, leaving most of the sweet spring on their own territory, which provoked other tribes to join hands to fight. Fortunately, at that time The Tianshui tribe has a reliable leader who resolved the crisis by using the strategy of distant relations and close attacks."

"And after that, two tribal alliances appeared over there, confronting each other just like we are now, and there will often be some fights, but generally speaking, they are all small fights, and they have no intention of directly attacking each other ; but at this time, a group of people came from nowhere, and they just limped the people on both sides, and then the conflict between the two sides intensified, and in the end, they both lost and lost, and they all disappeared in the long river of history But the most important thing is that the sweet spring was also destroyed, so no one restarted the stove on the old site of the Tianshui tribe."

   "After all, no one wants to change the name of their tribe to Kushui, right?"

Ayi shook her head and said: "But having said that, why did the sweet spring suddenly change its taste? According to what I know, this kind of continuous mountain spring basically comes from groundwater, so according to the purification ability of groundwater, it is It is very difficult to change the taste of a mountain spring directly; therefore, I reckon that the mountain spring should have been added a filter with a taste, so it will change from a sweet spring to a bitter spring... But the problem comes again, The reason why the Tianshui tribe clashes with the surrounding tribes is because of such a mouthful of sweet spring, so who made such a cruel move?"

  Hearing this, Liu Xing felt that this was a very standard plot with nothing new, and it was different from the situation in Tianshui Town, because there were no people around Tianshui Town, so there was no conflict.

   It seems that I think too much.

However, Liu Xing is also very curious about who destroyed the sweet spring of the Tianshui tribe. It stands to reason that no matter who wins the final victory, such an important water source should want to take this water source as his own. rather than destroying it directly.

   "Too much?"

The big-mouthed bat suddenly said: "Is there such a possibility that this mouthful of sweet spring has not turned bitter, but has become too sweet? You must know that if the sweetness is too high, it will taste bitter. !Anyway, when I was a child, I liked sweets very much, so I added too much sugar once, and then I knew what it means to be so sweet that it tastes bitter.”

As a doctor, Liu Xing has also encountered a patient in a similar situation. When he eats sweets, the first few seconds of his mouth are still sweet, and then he suddenly feels a bit bitter. The cause is inflammation. Diseases related to oral cavity.

  Then the question is, will the players and NPCs in this module have similar diseases, which makes them unable to perceive the smell normally?

This is actually possible, because the background of this module is placed in ancient times, so due to the limitation of productivity, everyone's living standard and medical level are at a relatively low value, and the living environment is almost exactly the same. Therefore, everyone in the entire tribe may suffer from the same disease, which is why there was a "village of a certain disease" in the past.

  So as a doctor, Liu Xing has now begun to suspect that the tribes in this area have the same problem.

   "If there are no accidents, there will be a side mission at the old site of the Sweetwater Tribe."

Ah Yi said affirmatively: "I also forgot that it was said by that celebrity. In short, the content is that when a close-up of a gun appears in the first few minutes of a movie, then this gun will definitely be taken by someone before the movie ends." A character pulls the trigger! So there must be a reason for the appearance of this Sweetwater Tribe, and it won’t take much time for us to go there... It’s just that this time it’s a confrontational module, the more time we waste, the opponent’s The greater the advantage, unless we really take that old horse away."

"etc!"

Mo Jin stopped and said: "Do you think there is such a possibility that the fine breed and the old horse should have gone to the former site of the Tianshui tribe? I think so, and now the two tribes even shake hands and make peace. The same tribe, but this tribe has only so many fields, and the good field in the middle will not become bigger; so now that you have a bag of good seeds and an old horse, you can send a team to other fields. Good place to open up new fields! And the old site of the Sweetwater Tribe is pretty good."

"For the time being, regardless of whether the water source is good or not, at least it can be used to irrigate the fields, so the Tianshui tribe has good water to irrigate the land! Therefore, I guess the leaders and elders of the tribes on both sides will go through some discussions. , and finally plan to go to the former site of the Sweetwater Tribe to open a sub-mine! Then if we have an insight into their plan in advance, can we get more rewards? You must know that on the first day we joined the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, The owner of the dog group said that some modules have hidden endings, and you can get more rewards if you reach the hidden ending!"

For Mo Jin's words, Liu Xing also agrees very much, because the same is true for the game lobby of the Cthulhu running team afterwards. If the player can achieve the hidden endings in some modules, then he can get more rewards. And there may be a series of special tasks triggered afterwards.

   Most of the hidden endings require players to take risks to escape from the main plot, so although some players are vaguely aware of the existence of hidden endings, they dare not move on.

"This time the module is a confrontation module in name, but the main quest we have received now does not require us to fight to the death with the opposite player. Don’t make a deadly move! So we have reason to suspect that this confrontation module has a hidden ending of cooperation between the two parties, and the key to trigger this ending is the old horse in our hands and the good breed of the opposite player!"

Mo Jin said very seriously: "The most important thing is that although we don't know who the players on the opposite side are, we are all friends after all, so we should be able to reach a cooperation after talking about it; What kind of hidden mission, the worst is to start from the beginning, and after returning, each will use his own ability to show off!"

   "I agree with Ah Jin's idea!"

Big Mouth Bat said without hesitation: "Who can refuse to lift the veil that hides the ending? What's more, if this module is carried out according to the normal process, the plot can be seen to the end at a glance, so why not try to trigger it?" Hide the ending!"

  At this time, although Ah Yi looked embarrassed, he still agreed with Mo Jin's idea in the end.

As for Liu Xing, he expressed his envy for this, because in today's Cthulhu running team game hall, it is almost impossible for players participating in confrontation modules to reach cooperation. After all, the failure price that needs to be paid in the end is too great. When you grow up, no one dares to entrust your wealth and life in the hands of the enemy.

   "Ah Yi, what is your expression now? Could it be that you are really an undercover agent, so you don't want to see us cooperate?" Mo Jin asked directly.

Ah Yi shook his head quickly, and said: "No, I just thought of a problem now, that is, according to what the dog group leader said, the module we are in is based on a certain ancient poem, so I When I first entered the module, I was thinking about which ancient poems and songs involved the concept of tribes, and finally narrowed the scope to "Chu Songs" and "Book of Songs" from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods...but nothing unexpected , our understanding of these two works is limited to a few poems in them, right?"

   "Uh, I can only remember a few of them now. If I had to recite the whole sentence early, it would be a bit difficult."

  Ayi looked around, shook her head and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, I really don't know which poem this module is based on."

""Peach Blossom Spring"? I think the layout of this tribe is in line with the section where the house is like a house, and there is a section of mulberry and bamboo in Liangtian Meike... But the problem is that we are now on the mountainside, so it seems that we are not satisfied with this sentence. Say the land in front is flat?" The big-mouthed bat shook its head and said.

   "That's why I had such an expression just now."

Ah Yi frowned and said: "So now I have some doubts about the poems and songs corresponding to this module. Maybe I have to go to the Tianshui tribe to know which sentence it is. This means that the hidden ending in our eyes may actually be The true ending of this mod! So..."

   Before Ah Yi could finish his words, a ray of red light suddenly appeared in the sky, falling silently towards the distance.

   "Is that the direction of the Tianshui tribe?"

   Mo Jin frowned and said: "It seems that our guess is correct, so we have to quickly get in touch with the player on the opposite side and go find out!"

  Ah Yi and the others nodded one after another, and then walked down the mountain quickly.

   At this time, Liu Xing, who had already adapted to the identity of "camera", teleported directly to the former site of the Tianshui tribe with a thought, and saw the red light that had just landed.

   A sword!

A sword with no specific material, because this sword fell directly into a deserted paddy field, so Liu Xing could only see its hilt clearly, as for the sword body in the water, it could only be seen vaguely. to describe.

  However, this is not the point. The point is that among the population of Ah Yi and others, there are actually many people living in the Tianshui tribe, which has become history, and it seems that they have settled here for many years.

   And the sword that fell from the sky also attracted the attention of the people around, and they had already leaned over to point at the sword.

What's happening here?

  Looking around, Liu Xing suddenly felt that everything in front of him seemed familiar, as if he had been here before.

   Poems and songs?

Um!

Liu Xing came to his senses immediately, remembering that a long time ago, when he entered the world of poetry and poetry for the first time, he came to the page of "Mo Xiao Farm's Lajiu is full of wine, and there are enough chickens and pigs to keep customers in good years". That is to say, I had a full meal in the village in front of me.

   But that's all.

   Is it such a coincidence?

Liu Xing thought about it carefully, and finally remembered that before he came to this village, or maybe the tribe, he first saw something called "ancient vines, old trees, dark crows", and then he came here to eat a feast of water, and then he thought about it. When I want to continue to explore, I find that the front is blank, because the following verses have been "torn" away.

   But the most important thing is that Liu Xing heard the villagers mention a person at the time, that is, the author of this poem, Lu You, lives in Songshi City on the other side of the mountain!

  At this time, Liu Xing also happened to know through the memory of "Liu Peng" that as long as he walks through the forest behind Tianshui Town, and then crosses a few mountains, there will really be a Songshi City!

  And this Songshi City is also known as the city with the most cultural heritage in the New Dragon Empire, because Songshi City holds a literary meeting every year, which will attract scholars from the entire New Dragon Empire to come and write poems, leaving their own poems and songs!

   And the organizer of this essay meeting has always been the uncrowned king of Songshi City—the head of the Lu family!

   Isn't this right?

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing's eyes suddenly went dark, and he woke up directly.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, then got up, went to the medical hall to find Liu Nan, and learned more about Songshi City and the Lu family from Liu Nan, as well as the situation of the Lu family. Does it have anything to do with Sweetwater Town?

   The result was not surprising. Originally, the biggest customer of Tianshui Town was the Lu family in Pine Rock City, because how could there be no good wine in the literary fair held every year?
