Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2167 Useful things

   There is a gap?

  That's not okay.

For Liu Xing, Han Yu was the most important NPC he met after entering the martial arts module, and he was also the most famous NPC, so Liu Xing felt that if he could become friends with Han Yu, then his status in the alliance would be improved. It will be more stable, because this is a network, and it is a top network that everyone understands and recognizes.

  After all, the name "Han Yu" is known to most players in the alliance today, and as long as this word is released, there will definitely be many players willing to join the alliance for Han Yu.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing made up his mind, thinking that it would be better for him to be Han Yu's friend, so that he could find an opportunity to lure him to Tianshui Town later.

  If it is not a friend, it may be more troublesome to do this, because at most Han Yu is polite to himself, and it would be too troublesome to really ask him to come over, after all, he has nothing to do.

So Liu Xing shook his head with a smile, patted Han Yu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Han, don't think that I am a divine envoy. As for any substantive benefits, after all, my captain is only in name only... How should I put it, after I became an envoy of God, my life was not as happy as before, because I was also worried that I was doing something. After these things, the Eastern Palace Canglong will give divine punishment."

  Han Yu looked at Liu Xing in surprise, and then looked up at the sky, saying that he didn't know why Liu Xing said that. Isn't he afraid that the Eastern Palace Canglong in the sky will know that he is being programmed?

"Oh, it's okay, this East Palace Canglong, or the God Mantian usually has other things to do, so it's impossible to just stare at us every day and then do nothing, right? Then this **** should also be Isn’t it too boring? And after I became an envoy, I can also sense the arrival of the Eastern Palace Canglong in advance, so I don’t need to worry about some words being heard by it.”

Liu Xing gave a hack, and then said earnestly: "Brother Han, do you know why I wear a mask every day? It's because I had leprosy when I was very young, so the way I look now Maybe not as handsome as those wild boars on the mountain, so you can imagine how I was excluded when I was a child... Well, as a doctor, I actually understand their thoughts very well, so I don’t Blame them, just blame my own bad luck."

"This can be regarded as one of the reasons why I am very interested in poetry, because I couldn't find anyone to play with me when I was young, so I could only stay at home and read medical books, and in some medical books, there are medicinal materials and prescriptions. Compose a poem, which is what we often call a medicine soup song; over time, I fell in love with poetry, and I also started to try to write poetry by myself, but I have never had the opportunity to share it with others, after all, I am such a poet. I don't have any friends, and my father, as the only official doctor in Shilibaxiang, is very busy every day."

Speaking of this, Liu Xing looked at Han Yu and said very seriously: "So brother Han, although we have only met for a few days, you are already my friend that I can count on one hand, and you are the only one Friends who can communicate in poetry, so I don't want you to think too much because of my status as an envoy, because there is really nothing to say about the title of envoy. It's just a good idle job."

  Before Han Yu had time to speak, Liu Xing pretended to say with his hands behind his back: "Ten thousand taels of gold is easy to get, but a bosom friend is hard to find! Brother Han, if possible, please treat me as before."

  The poems that Liu Xing recited at this time were written by Cao Xueqin, so Liu Xing doesn't need to worry about Cao Xueqin coming to ask for copyright fees at this time.

When Liu Xing heard about the existence of Lu You, he thought that the names of Luo Guanzhong and others might appear in the novels. After remembering, I found that there are no famous novels with names I am familiar with, and those famous novels have not appeared, even if there are not many similar contents.

Therefore, Liu Xing reckons that these novels and novel authors did not appear in this martial arts module because they were written relatively late, or even later than the background setting time of this martial arts module; of course, there is another possibility Sex is that certain things didn't happen, so novels with corresponding themes can't be written. After all, isn't this adaptation a random one? How can the little mermaid become a big tilapia?

  That’s why Liu Xing dared to boldly borrow Cao Xueqin’s poem, and the content of this poem is also very simple and simple, so even if someone wrote the same poem, everyone would think it was just a coincidence.

   "I understand, Brother Liu."

Han Yu took a deep breath, and said seriously: "It's because I am a little bit of a villain, and I am a gentleman! I actually thought that after you became an envoy, Brother Liu, you would look down on friends like me who want nothing. It seems that I really think too much."

   Liu Xing turned around and said with a smile: "That's right, Brother Han, you really think too much, our friendship is not something that the Eastern Palace Canglong can control!"

   Just when Liu Xing was about to say something, he saw the housekeeper not far away leading a few servants and running out the door with knives, guns and sticks.

   "What's going on here? Father actually wants to use servants?"

Han Yu frowned and said, "Although Fei City is small, it still has everything it should have, so with the Wutai and the defenders sitting in it, under normal circumstances, you don't need the servants of the prefect's mansion to take action, unless it is really lacking." people."

  Hearing what Han Yu said, Liu Xing subconsciously thought of two words—crocodile!

Because the servants who just ran past were holding all kinds of long weapons, it can be seen that they need to keep a certain distance from the target they are about to face; and the reason why so many people are arranged to take action can also be seen It should be difficult to control the target, and the target also has a large range of activities.

This reminded Liu Xing that more than ten years ago, a wild boar suddenly appeared on the mountain of his hometown, and often went to the nearby fields to steal food, so the nearby villagers gathered hundreds of people to gather around They searched up the mountain in a circle, but the wild boar hid twice, and was not caught until the accident happened.

  So when Liu Xing saw the battle, he felt that the Han Yu crocodile had been discovered by someone, so the prefect Han led people to hunt it down and intercept it.

   "Let's go to Uncle Zhai's house to find something first, and then go and see what happened here."

  Han Yu quickened his pace while talking.

Soon, Liu Xing and others came to Uncle Zhai's house, which was the yard mentioned by Xu Bin before, but then again, the lock on the gate of this yard was exactly the same as the locks of the surrounding houses, but they used The keys are very different.

   So what is this operation?

  When Liu Xing came, he thought it was a small lock.

   But this is not important, the important thing is that Liu Xing got a small task at this time.

   "Find useful things: Ask players to find all useful things in this yard!"

  It’s such a simple task, it doesn’t look like a task anymore, because not only does it not mention rewards and punishments, it also doesn’t mention what useful things are and how many there are.

   Just looking for it, just looking for it.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing has a little headache, because the definition of "useful" is too broad. After all, there is a saying called "the other's honey, my arsenic", so some things may be very difficult for Liu Xing. It is useful, but in Han Yu's eyes, it is a useless waste.

  So with such a broad setting, Liu Xing felt that even if he took a brick off the wall, it would be a useful thing for him. After all, a brick ranks very high in the list of martial arts weapons.

   Trouble.

   For a long time, Liu Xing has always hated this kind of ambiguous task, because you don't know what you should do to complete the task. After all, the final explanation is in the hands of the opposite party, and he can say whatever he wants at this time.

   But until now, Liu Xing can only bite the bullet, anyway, this task doesn't look like there is any punishment.

   Fortunately, Uncle Zhai's yard is not too big, maybe only 80 square meters in total, but what makes Liu Xing feel strange is that there is not even a place for a fire in this yard, let alone a kitchen.

   You must know that the winter in Feicheng is quite cold, so it is difficult to even boil some hot water without a fire, so does this uncle plan to take a hot bath in winter?

You must know that in this martial arts module, it may be to make players feel more substituting, and at the same time to make life easier this year, so the NPCs in this martial arts module are very clean. Take a bath at least once a week, so every household will have a hot water bottle.

In addition, another point that makes Liu Xing feel a little strange is that there is a stone table in this yard, and a set of tea sets that are also made of stone is placed on it, but the most important thing is that these tea sets and the stone table are connected together. together!

That's right, the stone table and stone tea set are integrally formed, and the carving looks quite good, but the problem is that this thing looks a bit abstract, because this set of stone tea set is laid out, so ordinary pots and pans The basin cannot be placed on the stone table normally.

   In short, this thing is a handicraft, a handicraft without any practicality. . . Of course, you can also pour some water into this tea set, then lean over and drink it slowly, and you have to lick it with your tongue after drinking half of it.

  After all, at this time, there are still commercially available straws.

   And Uncle Zhai did just that!

   That's right, Liu Xing found that this stone tea set has traces of use!

   What is this operation?

   This made Liu Xing a little confused, because the practicality of this set of stone tea sets was almost zero, so could it be that Uncle Zhai made such a set of tea sets for his own entertainment when he was free?

  If this is the case, Liu Xing can only say that Uncle Zhai is still a child at heart.

  However, Liu Xing quickly discovered something wrong, that is, the lid of the stone teapot was also "welded dead".

  The reason why Liu Xing decided that this stone teapot was also used just now is that the main reason is that there is a piece of dried tea leaves on the spout of this stone teapot, and this piece of tea leaves has been brewed at first glance.

It turns out that the lid of this stone teapot cannot be opened, which is even more strange. Could it be that Uncle Zhai poured these tea leaves into the teapot from the spout, soaked them in water, and then took the tea leaves with a hook? dig it out?

  What is this picture?

etc! Is this brewed tea?

Although Liu Xing doesn't drink tea very much in the real world, because Liu's father likes to drink tea very much, Liu Xing, who was still studying, would make a cup of tea for his father before going to school, so that he can wait for his father to wake up. You can drink a cup of tea at just the right temperature. . . Of course, the reason Liu Xing did this was because his father would give him more pocket money.

  Ahem, all in all, Liu Xing still has some experience in making tea, so he also knows that the tea is best brewed with hot water just out of the oven.

   Judging from this piece of dried tea, Liu Xing knew that it must be brewed with hot water, so where did Uncle Zhai get the hot water? It can't be borrowed from a neighbor's house, right?

You must know that Xu Bin has already said it. He and Uncle Zhai have known each other for many years. To describe it, it is unlikely that Uncle Zhai would go to the neighbor's house to borrow hot water.

   So where did the hot water come from?

   And Liu Xing also noticed one thing, that is, there is no water stain near the stone teapot, but there are some near the stone teacup.

   This is a bit strange.

   As we all know, pouring water into a teacup must be much easier than pouring water into a teapot through the spout, so the position of the water stain should be reversed, right?

  Thinking of this, four characters suddenly popped up in Liu Xing's mind—to cover up!

   It seems that there is something hidden in this stone teapot!

  Liu Xing thought for a while, called Han Yu over, and confessed all his guesses.

   "Yeah, this is really unreasonable!"

Han Yu knocked on the stone teapot, nodded and said, "This teapot is indeed empty, so there may be something hidden in it, after all, Uncle Zhai is not the kind of person who talks about it, he will play games with himself at home if he is fine! Anyway, in my eyes, Uncle Zhai belongs to that kind of image of an extraterrestrial expert, and it is impossible for him to do such a naive thing!"
