Real Cthulhu Running Game

So the question comes back again, what is the situation with this module?

Although on the surface, this module seems to be based on a school, and the players are all students, and they should all be dormitory students. After all, there is at least one mythical creature hidden in the dormitory.

But Liu Xing is still not sure about one thing, that is, the injury on Wang Qi's hand. Did Baihecheng and others deliberately ignore it, or did they really not see it?

In other words, is it possible that these injuries were hidden by the mythical creature, so that even Wang Qi, the person involved, could not detect it? In this case, even if Wang Qi was eaten up by the mythical creature, he might still be injured at the same time. Baihe Cheng and others in the dormitory will not be noticed.

This is also a classic plot of many weird stories, that is, there are some powerful weirdos in the school, but the teachers and students in the school have no idea about it, which is the saying "ghosts cover their eyes", so not only The harm caused by these strange things is not known to teachers and students. Even some people disappear mysteriously, and their friends around them don't know!

 What's worse, it will be like the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, erasing all traces of this person in the real world and making this person disappear completely!

Therefore, compared with the Cthulhu running game that Liu Xing is familiar with, it is better to say that it is a weird rule story that has become popular in the past two years, because these weird things will not be directly acted for no reason, only players or NPCs violate certain rules. Only rules can be cruel.

For example, Wang Qi almost failed to leave the dormitory at the stipulated time because he overslept, so he ended up getting a little injured.

 It seems that you cannot stay in this dormitory for a certain period of time.

But the question comes again, why did the Cthulhu Run Game Hall create such a strange module? You must know that there is still an essential difference between the rule ghost talk and the Cthulhu group game, and that is randomness!

That’s right, there is almost no randomness in the rules fantasy, because as long as the player follows the correct rules, he can pass the level without any danger, so as long as the player’s IQ is high enough, the difficulty of the rule fantasy will plummet. But if the players are dumber, the difficulty of the strange rules will skyrocket.

The key point of the Cthulhu Running Game is this randomness, because most of the key nodes of the plot will be judged, and the results of the judgment are completely random from the current perspective, so even if it is the most common module, as long as If there are enough plot points that need to be determined, it may lead to multiple possibilities.

So the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is exploring new possibilities, so it created such a special module?

 Just like this martial arts module, it is indeed very different from other modules.

But just when the words "martial arts module" appeared in Liu Xing's mind, he suddenly felt a splitting headache. Then he closed and opened his eyes and found that he had woken up.

As for why Liu Xing had a headache, it was because a dog was chewing on his head.

"ah?"

Liu Xing was startled by the dog, but the dog was also startled by Liu Xing.

Just like that, Liu Xing and the dog stared at each other in the carriage, and only then did Liu Xing notice that it was still dark outside the carriage. It seemed that it was not morning yet.

However, even in the dark, Liu Xing was sure that the person in front of him was a dog and not a wolf, because the dog's eyes had not yet glowed with green light.

Of course, what really made Liu Xing sure that this dog was not a wolf was the reminder given by the Cthulhu Run Team game lobby, that is, this dog entered the battle round with him just now and only bit his head. The defense was not broken.

 Otherwise Liu Xing would have been badly beaten at this time.

So if it weren't for the fact that this dog couldn't speak, Liu Xing would have wanted to ask why it was chewing its own head?

 Could it be that your hair smells bad?

Liu Xing thought about it and found that he had already washed his hair in two days. Because a lot of things happened in these two days, he did not have time to wash his hair. Anyway, he was sitting in a carriage during these two days, so he I don't think there is any sweat smell.

However, in the past two days, I have often appeared near the "kitchen", so I can change the smelly clothes, but the smell in my hair has always remained.

 I believe anyone who has eaten Shudi hot pot knows that as long as you stay in a hot pot restaurant for a period of time, the smell on your hair will remain for a long time.

 Unexpectedly, this smell would attract a dog tonight.

 Is this also a disaster for me?

Liu Xing stared at the dog in front of him while groping for a handy weapon.

Although this dog is a medium-sized dog, it is not difficult for Liu Xing to defeat it, but the problem is that Liu Xing is quite afraid of pain, and this dog's attacks are mainly bites, so this Not only is it extremely painful, but it would be even more uncomfortable if a piece of flesh was missing.

In this way, Liu Xing and the dog faced off for several minutes. After Liu Xing's eyes adapted to the darkness, he could clearly see the exact situation of the dog.

 This should be a pet dog, because there is a wooden sign hanging around its neck, and the dog's hair has obviously been trimmed.

At the same time, this dog has not escaped yet, and it does not look like a wild dog. After all, most wild animals follow the assassin's route, that is, they can't hit a hit and immediately run away.

Is this a lost pet dog that is chewing its own head out of hunger? Or maybe its owner was very kind to it, so it was used to eating well, so it sneaked in to find him?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing remembered one thing, that is, there were snacks such as beef jerky in his carriage, so Liu Xing tried to take out a piece of beef jerky to reconcile with the dog.

 As Liu Xing thought, after seeing the beef jerky, the dog's tail immediately turned into a propeller.

Then when Liu Xing fed the dog a few sticks of beef jerky, he received a system prompt.

“Congratulations to the player for gaining the favor of the special NPC—Rhubarb. Now players can try to conquer Rhubarb.”

ah?

Liu Xing looked at Dahuang in surprise. He didn't expect it to be a special NPC. It seems that there is some hidden plot behind this big yellow dog. After all, if Dahuang was just an ordinary dog, there wouldn't be any system now. hint. But now that Rhubarb can be conquered, doesn’t it mean that the original owner of Rhubarb is no longer here?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing began to think about a question, that is, should he conquer rhubarb? Anyway, this rhubarb seems to be quite easy to conquer.

Since then, Liu Xing tried to conquer rhubarb with the idea of ​​​​taking a shot if there were jujubes or not. Based on Liu Xing's experience in teasing dogs in the real world, he started to laugh and pet the dog's head.

By the time daybreak came, Dahuang was happily playing with Liu Xing, and Liu Xing finally took off Dahuang’s dog tag and discovered that the name on it was not Dahuang.

 Awu.

A Wu and Dahuang are not related to each other. Why is the name in the system prompt not A Wu?

 Is it the difference between a name and a nickname?

But that’s not important!

Liu Xing saw that the situation was almost over, so he prepared to make a subjugation judgment on Dahuang.

 If nothing else happens, this conquering decision should be automatically successful, right?

 The result was an unexpected surprise.

 Automatically failed!

 That’s right, Liu Xing’s conquering judgment not only did not automatically succeed, it actually failed automatically!

 Something is wrong.

Liu Xing looked at Dahuang, who was still wagging his tail at him, and felt that under normal circumstances it should become his dog, unless it was still in a state of recognizing its owner?

 What a good dog.

Liu Xing thought for a while and decided to wait a while before trying to conquer rhubarb. For example, after breakfast?

Liu Xing vaguely smelled the smell of smoke when he thought of this. It seemed that someone was making breakfast.

Since then, Liu Xing tried to get off the carriage with Dahuang, and Dahuang also followed Liu Xing very cooperatively.

In this way, Liu Xing brought Rhubarb to Xu Bin's side.

Looking at the rhubarb next to Liu Xing, Xu Bin said with some surprise: "Ah? Leader, when did you raise a dog? And this is a thin dog!"

 Slender dog?

Hearing what Xu Bin said, Liu Xing looked at Dahuang in surprise, because it didn't look like a thin dog. After all, its physique was quite strong, and it didn't look like the thin dogs he had seen in the real world. dog.

  After all, thin dogs in the real world are easy to recognize because their appearance is unforgettable at first glance.

Seeing that Liu Xing was a little confused, Xu Bin explained: "Leader, the thin dogs in this martial arts module look like this. They are not as thin as the creatures of the same name in the real world! As for why they can also be called thin dogs. Dogs, that’s because these dogs can shrink their bones, or their ribs are made of special cartilage, so they can get in and out of various narrow places, and are even more flexible than some cats. More importantly, Dogs are much easier to tame than cats and are more loyal, so many people keep thin dogs.”

So that's it, Liu Xing said that when he was stroking the rhubarb, he felt that its body was a little soft.

"However, the price of thin dogs is still very expensive, and the offspring of two thin dogs may not necessarily be thin dogs, because thin dogs are a special breed that has been artificially selected. Even the Baishoumen, which specializes in breeding thin dogs, , the success rate may be lower than our high success rate, so the price of each thin dog is very high, so there are no serious thin dogs in the entire city of Philadelphia."

Xu Bin looked at Dahuang and said: "So according to our players, this cartilage is a very rare recessive gene, so if you are lucky, even two ordinary dogs can give birth to a thin dog, but This chance is even more rare! As for the offspring of two thin dogs, although they are not necessarily thin dogs, it is possible that they will be semi-thin dogs? That is, part of the ribs are softened, or the overall softening is excessive. They are low-end thin dogs, so they can only be said to be less than the upper ones and more than the lower ones, but the price is still above fifty taels of silver, while a serious thin dog may be sold for two thousand taels of silver!"

 “How much?! Two thousand taels of silver?”

Liu Xing said with a surprised look on his face: "Is it so expensive? You know, the total of all the things the third prince gave me is probably worth eight hundred taels of silver!"

In this martial arts module, silver is still quite valuable. For example, if Han Taishou's annual salary is converted into silver, it is only two or three hundred taels. As for the annual income of an ordinary family, it is only about twenty taels.

You must know that the average family here is not a family of three, but a family of more than ten people with three generations living under one roof! What's more important is that these twenty taels of silver are enough for more than ten people to have good living conditions, that is, they have no worries about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and they can have good meals during the holidays. In the end, they can still have several taels of silver left every year.

It can be seen that the purchasing power of these twenty taels of silver is still very strong, so this thin dog is worth two thousand taels of silver, which is completely beyond Liu Xing's imagination!

"That's right, an average-looking thin dog costs two thousand taels of silver, and the annual income of my internet celebrity store is only about forty taels of silver. This shows how valuable this thin dog is. ."

At this time, Xu Bin also began to check Dahuang's physical condition, and quickly came to a conclusion, "If nothing else happens, this dog should be a genuine thin dog, but this is just my personal opinion. And my understanding of Xiquan only comes from books, so the accuracy rate may be around 50%, so after we return to Tianshui Town, we can ask Young Master Ying for identification."

In fact, Liu Xing was able to determine that Dahuang was a thin dog without the help of Gongziying. Because Dahuang is a special NPC certified by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, it must have something special to get this title. .

And when Xu Bin mentioned the ability of the thin dog, Liu Xing had already thought of the use of Rhubarb, that is, Rhubarb could be used to explore the way when exploring Wangxiangtai!

Because whether it was the news brought back by Shi Di or the original environmental conditions of the Wanren Mountains, Liu Xing had reason to suspect that the woods near Wangxiang Terrace were very dense, and it would take a lot of time for ordinary people to walk in, and it would also take a lot of time. It's easy to get stuck.

 And rhubarb can play its role at this time, coming and going freely in this dense forest!

It seems that it is even more necessary for me to conquer the rhubarb.

But before that, Liu Xing was still more curious about what happened to the former owner of Dahuang!

At the beginning, Liu Xing thought that Dahuang was just an ordinary pet dog, but he also felt that there was something wrong with Dahuang appearing here. After all, it didn't look like it had been abandoned, which meant that its former owner was here. There was an accident nearby.

 Now that he knew the exact identity of Dahuang and that its worth was more expensive than the entire fleet’s belongings put together, Liu Xing knew that its former owner must be either rich or expensive!
