Real Cthulhu Running Game

Although the difficulty of finding stones in a big lake is not as high as finding a needle in a haystack, the problem is that there is nothing very similar to the needle in the sea, while there are a lot of stones at the bottom of the lake.

What's more, Liu Xing had no time to waste on this stone at this time. After all, the function of this stone was just that, and it was not something he must have.

So after the team finished breakfast, they set off again towards Tianshui Town. However, when the team left the Ice Lake, Liu Xing saw several young people coming to the side of the Ice Lake. It seemed that they were preparing to swim in the water, but Next to them is a small bamboo basket, which is the standard fish basket used by fishermen in costume dramas.

 Are they here to catch fish?

That's not right. Although there are not many fish in this ice lake, the food in this lake is not too much for them. Therefore, these fish are not smart enough, unlike some fish ponds that simply disappear after being fed. The hook does not bite, so if you want to eat fish in the ice lake, you can just fish directly. You don’t need to go directly into the water to catch fish, right?

 So they came to retrieve the stone?

Liu Xing remembers that the fishermen who fished for sea urchins and sea cucumbers at the beach would also hang such a small basket around their waists when they went into the water to facilitate their collection of various seafood underwater. After all, they could not harvest much just by holding it with their hands. , and if you use a bag, it will easily add a lot of resistance out of thin air, so this kind of hollow bamboo basket is the most suitable.

So Liu Xing felt that these people should be preparing to fish for the stone, that is, they would grab a few stones and put them in their own bamboo baskets every time they went into the water. After they landed, they would check one by one whether the stones were what they were looking for. If there is no goal, then the cycle continues.

Although this is a bit troublesome and time-consuming, it is currently the only reliable solution for collecting rocks. After all, there is no excavator in this martial arts module. You can dig up a pile of rocks with just one shovel. Look slowly.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing estimated the area of ​​the ice lake, and then discovered that if these people are all players, then they still have a chance to find this stone that can emit cold air before the end of this martial arts module. Of course, the premise is The stone was not buried too deep, allowing these people to find it after repeatedly checking the bottom of the lake five times.

However, whether it is a player or an NPC, this operation is still very cost-effective, because if it is a player, it should be able to trigger several achievements!

When Yang Wenjing chatted with Liu Xing before, he mentioned that players in Feihu City had triggered a recyclable achievement called "Persistence", which means doing the same thing every day, and after meeting some relatively simple conditions Even if the progress bar increases by one; then there is a cycle every ten days, and you can get some achievement points at that time. Although these achievement points are not too many, you can complete this achievement repeatedly if you can't stand it. After these two months, it is still quite objective. of.

More importantly, every time you complete this achievement three, five and ten times, you will get an additional achievement of "Persistence. One, Two, Three". It is estimated that there will be four, five and six in the future! And if you achieve this achievement continuously, you will get a new achievement - perseverance. Continuously.

  So if you can achieve this achievement before the end of the martial arts module, then you will get a lot of achievement points. After all, there is an idiom called gathering sand to form a tower, and this achievement is the best interpretation of this idiom.

That's why Liu Xing feels that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall in this martial arts module is so conscientious that it makes people feel terrible. It feels like when the game is about to close down, all the original out-of-print skins are taken out and given away casually. Because even if you are doing soy sauce in this martial arts module, if you can do soy sauce every day, you can still get a lot of achievement points. You can even get more achievements than some players who go through life and death to complete difficult tasks. integral!

This is somewhat unreasonable, but it is still acceptable for most players, and even those players who did not get more achievement points because they chose to take risks, it is difficult to say that there are any in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall at this time. What's the problem? Because the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall gives you an opportunity to make money while lying down. It's just that you choose to take greater risks for higher returns. You can't blame others.

“So I feel that in this martial arts module, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is just trying to use tricks on us players!”

Xu Bin, who came to work as a groom for Liu Xing, said: "I think for us players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, it is actually necessary to maintain a certain sense of crisis, because the Cthulhu Run game The other modules in the hall are more ruthless than the last, and they will not let us live as comfortably as we did in this martial arts module, so if you don’t maintain a certain sense of crisis and tighten your vigilant heartstrings, Then you are very likely to be taken away by a wave of mythical creatures or traps arranged in the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby. For example, I opened a module before entering this martial arts module, using that new I went to participate with my character card.”

"The content of that module is actually quite simple, because I found that the other players in that module were like me and wanted to delay the start of the martial arts module, so I had to get a junk character card. Just join any module, so the difficulty of this module is a bit low. After all, our character cards can be described as waste, and few of our attribute and skill values ​​can exceed 60 points; but this module The main mission is really easy, which is to let us dive into an underwater cave and determine the general topography of the underwater cave, so we thought there would be deep divers in this underwater cave."

"As a result, this underwater cave can be said to be empty, but there are some very abstract murals, but these murals seem to be left by us humans, because they are very similar to the ones we have seen in textbooks. The kind of murals are the hunting-themed murals left by ancient humans in the caves where they lived, that is, a few stick figures throwing matchsticks; after confirming that there are no divine judges and other mythical creatures staying in this underwater cave , we received a new optional task, which is to collect information about these murals. Each mural can be redeemed for a lot of points. More importantly, even if we tear the card, some of these points can be converted into our main character card.”

"We were already prepared to tear up the cards, so we felt that we could make a little bit at this time, so we arranged for a player to guard the entrance of the underwater cave at the beginning to guard against possible sudden attacks. The mythical creatures that appeared. As a result, we tinkered in this underwater cave for more than an hour, but we didn't find any mythical creatures or enemies coming to trouble us, so we became bolder and prepared to collect all the information on those murals as soon as possible. After the collection was completed, no more manpower was arranged to look at the way back. Anyway, if we were faster, it would only take more than ten minutes."

Having said this, Xu Bin shook his head helplessly, "The result is that because we were too greedy, we didn't expect that the tide would come faster than before, so the sudden high tide left us with no time to escape, so we Not surprisingly, I was left in an underwater cave... To be honest, I never thought that I would be submerged in the water in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, and it was still in the entire simulation. There was no mythical creature in the whole process of the group, and it could even be said that there was no obstacle at all, and it just disappeared inexplicably."      "Then this module is pretty good, it's completely here to beat your mentality. , because who would have thought that in the module of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, there would not be a single mythical creature from beginning to end, and there would not even be any obvious dangers. Just make a bet and you would be greedy; After all, this is a costless business for you, and it can even be said to be a profitable business, because you were already prepared to tear up the card at the beginning, but the new task that emerged is to allow you to It’s easy to get back points, and it doesn’t seem too difficult, so how many points did you get in the end?”

Faced with Liu Xing's question, Xu Bin's expression became even more depressed, "I got twenty-five points because we all tore the cards in the end, so originally each mural was worth twenty-five points. , the result is now that a mural is only worth one point, and this is still under the discount of five points if less than five points are counted directly; but this is enough for people to think about it every time, They all feel very depressed. After all, as long as we leave the underwater cave early, we can get hundreds of points. After all, the module has made a lot of money for this trip, but we are just a few minutes late."

"Well, if I was torn in this kind of module, then I have to slap myself on the thigh now thinking about it. After all, this is really depressing, and I will regret it. More importantly, I will still I think this is a bit too trivial! Although there are many types of modules launched in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, these modules are all the same, that is, these modules will have one key element - supernatural power. "It turns out that this module is so special that it can even be described as playing with people's hearts, and this is not good news for us players!"

Liu Xing frowned and said: "How should I put it? I feel that if I face a mythical creature, or even an old ruler, there is still some room for maneuver, because as long as I still have a chance to throw the dice, then I will be able to struggle again, or even make a comeback from a desperate situation! But, Xu Bin, this module you experienced is a bit weird. If I am not wrong, except for your own requirements for passing judgment, kp is in this module I guess I didn’t ask you to pass the judgment, right?”

After Xu Bin thought for a moment, he nodded and said: "Yes, after you said that now, leader, I realized that the kp in that module didn't seem to exist. The whole module didn't say a few words. At the beginning, I introduced the module situation and the main mission, and then when we entered the underwater cave, we stood up and announced the so-called hidden mission, and then nothing happened."

“It seems that the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall is opening up a new track!”

Liu Xing leaned on the door frame of the carriage and said: "From the perspective of game operations, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has indeed entered a bottleneck period, because it can only provide players with a few types of modules. For other games, the version change speed is too slow, and it can even be said that updates have been stopped for a long time, and a new copy cannot be updated for more than half a year; of course, this is not considered for the Cthulhu Running Team game hall. It’s nothing, because the existing game content provided by the current version is enough for us to play, but there are not enough tricks to play, right? But I really don’t want to participate in such a new module, because it is a bit too torturous.”

"Yeah, now that I'm reviewing this module, I think it's no wonder that I was a little ignorant back then. When I recall it now, I feel chills on my back. It's like the sword of Damocles has been hanging on On your head, and you don’t know if or when it will fall. This may be the most tortured part, especially after you analyze it like a tiger, you will find that it is entirely because you think too much. Well, this feeling is actually the most speechless." Xu Bin said with a sigh.

“What kind of Sword of Damocles is this? Isn’t this just an electric fan hanging from the ceiling?”

Just when Liu Xing was about to complain a few more words, he saw Yue Shao walking over with a map.

“Leader, do you still remember the location of the Wangxiang Tower?”

Yue Shao asked and handed the map to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing took the map with some surprise, and then found that this map was very exquisite, comparable to the standard maps in the real world, except that this map was in a hand-drawn style, and Yue Shao had already drawn it on this map. There are some marks and notes on the map, such as the sphere of influence of each prince, as well as some key cities and ferries.

 After Liu Xing thought about it carefully, he solemnly pointed to a location on the map, and Yue Shao immediately took out a charcoal pen and poked a point there.

 “It’s indeed Nemo’s point.”

Yue Shao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "When I was listening to Schiller and the others talking about the situation of Wangxiang Terrace, I suddenly realized that the location of Wangxiang Terrace is actually very special. It may be the Nemo Point in this martial arts module. In the end, my guess was indeed correct."

 Nemo Point?

Liu Xing felt that the "Point Nemo" mentioned by Yue Shao was very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember what it meant. He only remembered that Point Nemo seemed to be related to the ocean, right?
