Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2188 Going the opposite direction

“It’s a pity that no matter how much he thought about it, he never imagined that he was just an NPC and a minor supporting role, so his failure was already doomed.”

Liu Xing let out a long sigh, then looked at Schiller and said: "By the way, your last name is a bit special! I have lived for more than twenty years, and I seem to know only one person named Xi, even in movies and TV series. I haven’t seen many people with the surname Xi in any novel.”

 “Well, that’s because I’m called Schiller in the real world.”

Schiller shrugged, shook his head and said: "I come from a small place that you may have heard of, but don't know much about - San Mano. Our population there is only about 30,000, so in the Cthulhu Group Game There may only be two or three players in the lobby, so I didn’t bother to change my name and just showed my real name in this martial arts module.”

“San Mano, your place is really sparse in people and land, so I thought there wouldn’t be any players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby like you.”

Xu Bin said with a smile: "But isn't your place quite close to Italy? So you should be able to form a team with the players there. Why are you acting alone in this martial arts module?"

Faced with Xu Bin's question, Schiller rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "It's a long story, but in short, I was originally interested in Daili's activities, and I got to know a lot of them. player, but because of a little accident, I tricked a few friends, so their initial character cards were torn up, so I was kicked out without any surprise, and I haven’t found a new one yet. teammates."

"You didn't do it on purpose, did you?" Yang De asked sharply.

 “Of course not!”

Schiller said quickly: "How should I put it? San Mano is quite close to Italy, and the relationship between the two has a long history and influences each other, so we have a lot in common, but there are also some things It's different, so I misunderstood something at the time, which caused those teammates to tear up the cards, and they thought that I would make such low-level mistakes, so I must be deliberately hurting them, so I wanted to Looking for trouble with me... How should I put it, I think I can understand their thoughts, after all, if it were me, I would make the same choice, or even fight directly."

Liu Xing smiled, nodded and said: "That's true. In fact, I have encountered similar situations in the real world. It's just that the price you paid will be higher. But Schiller, why did you choose Philadelphia as your city?" Is the birth point also to avoid these enemies?"

 “That’s right.”

Schiller said unabashedly: "You also know that there is a strong family tradition in Italy, so the players there will basically join a family in the real world, and then everyone will form a team to clear the module. Just like our current alliance; so in the current Cthulhu Running Group game hall, the players on the Italian side have formed a total of three families, namely the Curtis family, the Lean family and the Sophia family. Among them, Sophia The family only accepts female players, and the few players I offended are from the Curtis family. This family has existed in the real world for many years, but with the emergence of the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, this family The family can be regarded as a cup of Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall players occupying the magpie's nest."

 Are there any other sayings like these?

But then again, although the players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby were a little frustrated in the module, they were played by the goddess of dice, and they had to face myths that were simply unbeatable. Creatures are always on guard against their surroundings; but when they return to the real world, they can redeem some things from the Cthulhu Run game lobby so that they can live a better life and pursue Something I never dared to think about.

 Hands, right?

"So before this martial arts module started, these three families got together to discuss and prepare to advance and retreat together in this martial arts module, because they also knew that this martial arts module was not friendly to them! Just like there is no language barrier between me and you now, there are some habits that cannot be changed, so even if you don’t ask today, leader, you should be able to realize what my name means in a few days."

 This is true.

Before Liu Xing could speak, Yang De on the side intervened: "Yes, when I was still studying, I ran from east to west because of my parents' work. I thought I didn't have any accent, so I didn't know how to speak. Others noticed that I was an outsider, but within a few days my deskmate saw through it, and he said that I had unknowingly done some things that were not typical of locals.”

"Yes, so the players of those three families are a little worried that they will be squeezed out by you home game players in this module. After all, there is a saying that those who are not from my race will have different hearts! Know that you can find similar sayings anywhere in the world."

Schiller sighed and said helplessly: "The reason why I chose a small place like Philadelphia is that I wanted to find a place where there are not many players to hang out, just like traveling to a completely unfamiliar place. One year; but a friend of mine brought me news that the Curtis family had cooperated with two other families and integrated the remaining small families to prepare to place eggs in as many places as possible In the basket, I want to occupy a place among the last ten players, so you should understand why I am here, right?”

 “Well, is it because the third prince is too weak?”

Xu Bin couldn't help complaining: "Of course, the third prince's own strength is not weak, but his position is still a bit too bad, and his relationship with other princes around him is not good, so judging from the current situation , as long as nothing unexpected happens, the third prince should be the first to be eliminated; so the three families mentioned by Schiller will definitely send people to study the map provided in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, and then combine it with some Based on the background information of the chess pieces, it can be determined that even if the third prince is not the first to be eliminated, he should still be ranked in the top three. In short, he does not have any championship appearance."    "Yes, they have determined that the third prince cannot become the next new Dragon Emperor. , so I didn’t waste manpower on the Third Prince’s side, so I decisively chose Fei City.”

Schiller said with some sadness: "To be honest, I really didn't expect that even in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, I would become a street rat and be forced to hide in such a small place to survive! But you, Alliance Leader It also gave me a chance to show myself, you know, I am more or less a player in the Hounds of Tindalos area!"

ah? This Schiller is actually a player in the Hounds of Tindalos area?

Not only Liu Xing, but also Xu Bin and others next to him were surprised, because they did not expect Schiller to be a player from the Hound of Tindalos area.

Although there is a Cthulhu area above the Hounds of Tindalos area, because there are so few players in the Cthulhu area, it has little reference value for most players, so they just use Tindalos as a reference. Players in the Hounds of Dalos area regard him as the real boss and the target they are chasing in the Cthulhu Run game lobby.

  After all, the Cthulhu area is as out of reach as the stars in the sky, unless you can make a rocket and send yourself up! The Hounds of Tindalos area is like a castle on a cliff. Although it is not easy to get close to it, as long as you are careful, you will eventually be able to enter this castle even if you move slowly.

 So no one would have thought that a player in the Hounds of Tindalos area would be reduced to eating and waiting to die in a small place like Philadelphia.

But having said that, since Schiller is a player in the Hounds of Tindalos area, the players who were tricked by him should also be from the same area, and they still used the initial character card, so Schiller is not included in that module. It wasn't intentional, it was because of a mistake that shouldn't have occurred that caused other players' initial character cards to disappear!

 No wonder these people come to trouble him!

Liu Xing felt that if he made a stupid mistake in a certain module and caused Zhang Jingxu and others to tear up the card, and he escaped unscathed, then parting ways would be the best outcome.

And according to Schiller, these players who were cheated by him are likely to be important members of those three families, so Schiller can still appear in front of him. Liu Xing doesn't know what to say. Even though he survived the catastrophe, those players were quite moral and didn't kill him directly.

However, Schiller can be regarded as providing Liu Xing with a very important information this time, that is, the players on Italy's side are preparing to make long bets, and they are coming menacingly!

Of course, the most important thing is that these interested players have reached a consensus before entering the martial arts module and actually belong to the same alliance, so they can arrange for certain players to directly rebel when necessary!

In this way, the Curtis and other families can influence the outcome of a battle at certain times, or directly cooperate with each other during a siege!

You must know that in ancient times, siege warfare has always been the most difficult, because even a small, unknown city can withstand a hundred thousand troops led by famous generals, and there are only less than five thousand in this city. A soldier!

It can be seen that as long as you can get everyone in a city to unite and defend, even an enemy dozens of times your size can persist for several years. Therefore, siege warfare is too difficult for ancient people. Difficult.

And in this martial arts module, even if a martial arts master takes action, it can change the situation. This is like Xiangyang City in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Under the auspices of Guo Jing, it can still defend itself under the siege of Mongolian cavalry. The city gate is not lost!

However, sometimes the siege battle will become very easy. You only need one simple move to win the city directly! Because the city wall is just like a dam. As long as there are no loopholes, it can block any amount of water. But as long as a small loophole appears, the dam will become history in a short time.

 So Liu Xing feels that the players from those three families are quite far-sighted and know how to use the cards in their hands to gain advantages for themselves!

With their current layout, they can really guarantee a spot in the "last ten", because this person only needs to stand up when the attack is unbreakable for a long time and let his teammates in the city surrender directly, then he will have made a great contribution. pieces!

 So the question is, Liu Xing is wondering if he can take advantage of this! Because these profit-minded players have not invested in the Third Prince, it means that they have no way to do so on the Third Prince's territory, but the Third Prince can stand up and do the opposite!

 That's right, Liu Xing is planning to ask Schiller to step forward and trick him into opening the city gate! Because Schiller knows the Curtis and other families very well, he can definitely guest star as some members of these families. Anyway, everyone changed their character cards after coming to this martial arts module, with their voices, faces, smiles, etc. They have all been changed, so the cost of pretending to be someone else will drop a lot!

What’s more, when you need to trick the city gates into opening, it’s always in the middle of the night. After all, the NPCs in the city won’t let you open the city to surrender in broad daylight, so this will be more beneficial to Schiller!

As long as you don't meet important members of the family such as Curtis, the success rate of this plan is still very high, because the communication conditions in this martial arts module are still too poor, and you don't know other people's new characters. What's going on with the card? In addition, the cost of casting a wide net is that these fishing nets are scattered here and there. As long as the passwords are not correct between each other, there will really be situations where they don't know each other.

 So Schiller’s stage is very big!

But, the problem now is that it is difficult to say whether the third prince can hold his own one-third of the land, let alone attack the cities of other princes, and if there are not too many interested players, then they It will only be distributed in some more important cities.

So Schiller now has a chance to show off his skills and become one of the last ten players, but this chance may only be one percent!

 As for why Schiller still has a one percent chance? That's because the lowest chance in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is one percent, no less.

So after Liu Xing thought for a moment, he decided not to tell Schiller about this bold plan for the time being, because the prerequisites for this plan are still far away, so don't start before you win five million. Think about how to spend it.

However, after Schiller announced his family status at this time, he received envious and admiring looks from Yang De and others.
