Real Cthulhu Running Game

   "Hey, why is it getting more and more off topic? Let's talk about this mod."

Shimian looked at the sky, and continued: "I still have half an hour to use stargazing, so if we are lucky, then let's fight that cold spider? According to my experience in other games, this The cold spider is very likely to attack us continuously, and if the situation is not good, it will retreat directly, that is, it will continue to attack us, making it impossible for us to go to the department store smoothly, and we will have some loss, so if we don’t get rid of it, the possibility of us clearing the module will be lower and lower!”

"I agree with Shimian's idea, because the cold spider is indeed a kind of mythical creature with strong mobility. After all, those long legs are not kidding with you! And we really lack the ability to restrain it, so It is really difficult for us to stop it if it wants to leave; therefore, we only have one chance to deal with this cold spider, and that is when the cold spider launches its first attack, because the cold spider is the smallest at this time. Our time! If we can repel its first attack, then it will value us a little more, so that we will not be able to deal with it later."

Liu Xing said solemnly: "So we have to seize this opportunity. Even if we can't completely get rid of this cold spider, we have to make it dare not come to trouble us again! Or let it get injured and have to go back to rest for a few minutes. God, it won't affect our next actions anyway; so the tactic I can think of now is to reproduce the hook and sickle gun that broke the chain horse back then. This thing is very suitable for dealing with cold spiders, as long as we can unload it If you lose a few legs, it will be useless."

"I'm familiar with this! I used to really make a sickle gun, because I joined a military club when I was in college, and it took me a year to make a set of armor and long and short weapons for myself, and even There is also an unstringed bow, because I tried a friend's bow and found that I have no talent in this area, so I gave up on making a bow and just pulled a string to make it look like a bow. Take the bow."

  Gnar raised his hand and said, "It's just that the time is limited. We can only use the existing materials to make a few simple hook and sickle guns. Although the effect may not be good, it should allow the cold spider to throw rats."

   "Okay, let's talk about this with Amont later."

  Song Ke took out a stick of chewing gum from his pocket, and said, "What is Amont doing right now? Logically speaking, there is nothing to do in this small village, right?"

"Yeah, Amont and the others stay in this village, nothing more than farming and going out to explore, because in the dreamland, apart from people like us occasionally appearing, some buildings will pop up from time to time, such as us The kind of department store I saw, that's why Amont's brothers were trapped in it."

Liu Xing moved his body, and said: "But I don't think there is anything to talk about these two things, or they have already discussed it, so now Amont is already talking about something related to the Martian cat. ? After all, he left in a hurry after meeting the Martian cat."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Shi Mian said, "Then is there such a possibility that Amont is going to wipe us all out? Because we still can't rule out the possibility that Amont is a bad person, although if he is really a bad person If it wasn’t, then we’d already be dead by now, or we’d be **** and thrown here.”

"No, no, there is another possibility that Amont is going to lie to us to die! For example, in that department store, it is possible that only one person can go in before one can come out, but the person who goes in must be voluntary, so Amont He intends to trick us into it; this is similar to the plots in many movies. The villain pretends to be a good person at the beginning, making the protagonists think that they are doing good things, so they take the initiative to do something, only to find that they have been tricked gone."

   Just as Gnar finished speaking, Liu Xing and the others heard footsteps. If nothing unexpected happened, Amont had returned.

  Therefore, Liu Xing and others sat down in the pavilion in a tacit understanding, pretending to be chatting.

  The person who came was really Amont.

Amont was not polite, sat down directly and said: "There is a small problem. Our village has always had business contacts with the cat clan. Of course, it can also be said that the cat clan gave us some support for Mr. Liu's sake. After all The cat tribe is also considered to be the best in the dreamland, even the old rulers dare not provoke them at will; so under normal circumstances, these things in our village are not sold to them, even if they are given to them. people want."

  That's true.

Liu Xing knows how powerful the cat clan is in the dreamland, because behind them there is an active ancient **** as their backer, and the cat clan's talker on the bright side—General Cat is not easy to mess with , Many people think that the strength of General Cat is at the same level as some weaker old rulers, and can be at the same level as Cthulhu.

  So this Mr. Liu really has a lot of face. Since he can persuade the cat clan to do business with such a small village, it is equivalent to traveling thousands of miles to collect waste products, and the waste products he receives are not enough to fill his own tricycle.

   It's not easy.

Liu Xing frowned on WeChat, thinking that this Mr. Liu is a bit too powerful, and more importantly, this Mr. Liu is not well-known in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group today, as if it does not exist anymore, but it stands to reason that he is so powerful It is impossible for a character to be unknown in the forum!

You must know that in today's forum, there is a special post to record the powerful NPC in the module, because such NPCs usually appear in different player's modules, for example, one of the knights named Alex is I have done mods with more than 200 players, and let these players praise him, but this knight likes to play cards very much, so it is best for players to lose some money to him at the poker table, and then put forward their own needs , so that you can get help from Alex.

  Unfortunately, this Alex does not exist in the parallel world where Liu Xing and others live, so this made Liu Xing sigh when he read the post.

In the parallel world where Liu Xing lives, the most famous NPC is a businessman named Luo Xing. The druid owner of a certain bookstore he visited, or the sharpshooter Simone, whom Liu Xing only knew by name, are all Luo Xing’s partners, so as long as players can offer a starting price, they can get money from Luo Xing. In exchange for various supports.

And it is very easy to meet Luo Xing, that is, to submit an article to a magazine opened by Luo Xing, explain your intentions and the price you are willing to pay, and then draw an old seal on the signature of the manuscript, and you will be there at that time. Someone will find you through the contact information you left, and after completing the initial communication, they will take you to see Luo Xing.

It is worth noting that Luo Xing is a person who pays great attention to efficiency, so when discussing business with him, players should not think about exchanging pleasantries before bargaining, so you only need to go up and explain your intentions and how much you are willing to pay, Luo Xing Xing will come up with multiple suitable plans for you to choose from, so you just need to choose a plan that you are satisfied with. At that time, Luo Xing may see that you are doing things so neatly, and think that you are a new friend who can make friends. Thereby increasing the goodwill towards you.

  Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Luo Xing may issue tasks to players in later modules. If the player can successfully complete this task, they can become Luo Xing’s friend and gain a lot of benefits.

However, Liu Xing and others do not plan to contact Luo Xing, because Luo Xing is already tasteless to Liu Xing and others today, and it is a pity to discard it. It may even become a stumbling block. After all, Luo Xing values ​​himself very much network, so sometimes I will take the initiative to stand up as a peacemaker.

  So this Mr. Liu has been staying in the dreamland, so he is not well known by the players?

"The fields in our small village are all catnip, which is one of the favorite foods of the cat family, so we sell some catnip to the cat family, and the cat family will send us some food and daily necessities, so we Only by relying on this little land can we support so many people, and there will be no shortage of things, but there is something wrong with the catnip in the past two days, seems to be sick?" Amont said with a sigh.

   Catnip? Isn't that nepeta?

  As a doctor, Liu Xing still knows that catnip is Nepeta common in traditional Chinese medicine, and Nepeta is used to treat colds, so Liu Xing’s family clinic will buy some Nepeta from time to time.

So Liu Xing also knows how to deal with the diseases and insect pests of Nepeta, and the most common problem about Nepeta is two words—drainage, because Nepeta is a plant that is very afraid of stagnant water, so if the water in the ground is too If it is high, then Nepeta may have various problems.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing said: "Mr. Amont, tell me, is there a lot of stagnant water in the land where you grow catnip? And this stagnant water has existed for a while?"

   "Huh? Brother, how do you know? It rained very rarely in our place a few days ago, so there was some water in the fields."

Amont said seriously: "The water in our village has to be obtained from a spring several kilometers away, because the towering trees here have absorbed too much water, so even if we dig a deep well, we can't get much water , so our fields have been treated accordingly so as not to waste this hard-won water."

   Sure enough.

Liu Xing shook his head, and said seriously: "Mr. Amont, you are wrong to think so. This catnip is a plant that is very afraid of stagnant water, so if it is not drained in time, various kinds of catnip may appear. Problem! So there is no problem for you to do this normally, but if it rains, you must drain water as soon as possible!"

Hearing what Liu Xing said with certainty, Amont didn't dare to neglect, "So that's the case, then we will arrange for manpower to drain the water later, but this crop of catnip is already gone, so we will be careful about this problem in the future. "

   I don't know if it was his own illusion, Liu Xing felt that Amont looked at him with a hint of appreciation, which gave people the feeling of an old man looking at his son-in-law. . . Wait, this old man doesn't really have a daughter, does he?

   "Okay, let's talk about tomorrow's plans now!"

Amont sighed, and continued: "Our plan is also very simple, that is to go directly to that strange building after breakfast tomorrow, but there may be dangers along the way, such as the one that has been standing The cold spider coveting us secretly, it is likely to attack us on the way! In addition, there is a very special plant on this road, which is called oxtail grass by Mr. Liu, because this grass It looks like a cow's tail, and it tastes like a cow's tail, but the strength it wields is almost like a cow's hoof."

   "Ah, do you still have this kind of thing?" Shimian said in surprise.

   "Yes, this thing is outrageous in every sense, so it should be a new product created by a dream maker. After all, the dream maker is so unreasonable in the dreamland."

Amonte shrugged and said: "Although dreamers are not invincible existences in the dreamland, they are also the most wonderful existences, because they can create all kinds of magical things with their imaginations. For example, I saw them with my own eyes. I have seen a dreamer conjure a flat boat out of thin air, sit on it and fly into the sky, and it disappears in the blink of an eye; and this oxtail grass may be hidden under the fallen leaves, and it will suddenly appear when you pass by. Give you a lift, and then you can take off on the spot, breaking a few bones is considered light."

   "Isn't this a landmine?"

Song Ke frowned and said: "Then this thing may pose a higher threat to us than the cold spider, because it can really catch us by surprise, and as long as we get hit, the fracture will definitely not be able to escape, so Does this oxtail grass appear every now and then? Or is it everywhere in an area?"

   "It is in an area where there will be a oxtail grass every so often, so we haven't been able to find a safe way for so many years."

Amont sighed again, and said with some helplessness: "As for bypassing this piece of oxtail grass, it is almost impossible, because this piece of oxtail grass is blocking an intersection, if you want to detour, you can It takes about half a day to walk, unless you can climb a mountain with almost no curvature, and there is also oxtail grass on this mountain, so it’s a big deal to get up there.”
