Real Cthulhu Running Game

"What's going on over at Tianshui Town? I remember that the expedition team over at Tieshan Village should have some new results, right?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

Before Liu Xing left Tianshui Town, another group of players was preparing to go to Tieshan Village for further investigation, because these players believed that Tieshan Village still had more content that could be explored.

For example, there is a shortage of iron ore and other ores in Tianshui Town at this time.

Yes, the mine next to Tieshan Village is nominally exhausted. Maybe a few pieces of ore can be dug out occasionally, but this is also a thankless task, so these players on the expedition team may be busy. After ten days and half a month, I can get back a load of ore.

You must know that in the real world, a hundred kilograms of iron ore can produce thirty kilograms of iron, which is already very good. So in this martial arts module where the relevant technology is not very good, it is enough to produce twenty kilograms of iron. It’s okay. Therefore, this cart of ore can only be described as better than nothing for Sweetwater Town. Especially when this cart of ore was brought back by a group of players for several days, it must be a loss. ah!

 So Liu Xing wanted to stop these players from wasting time at the beginning! Because unless there are a few highly successful judgments, this is definitely a business that is guaranteed to lose money but not make any money.

As a result, one player told Liu Xing that his character card actually showed that he knew an NPC from Tieshan Village, so he had heard this NPC talk about the story of Tieshan Village before, so he vaguely remembered that this NPC mentioned that the miners in that mine were all He walked in a hurry, it could even be said that he ran away without taking anything with him.

Therefore, there may be a pile of refined ore that has not been taken away in time, because Tieshan Village is in a deep mountain and old forest. If the ore is transported directly, it will be time-consuming, laborious and expensive, so there is a simple mine next to the mine. If the blacksmith shop was busy at that time, it would only conduct preliminary refining of the ore. If it was not busy, it would simply use the ore to make hoes and shovels.

Of course, when the villagers of Tieshan Village saw that the miners and foremen had left in a hurry, they immediately ran to the mine to enjoy the autumn breeze, hoping to see what they could take home and continue to use. The result was that I found a lot of useful things, but I didn't find the possible ores and iron tools.

Originally, the villagers of Tieshan Village wanted to dig deep into the ground to find this "treasure". However, they heard about the changes in the mine at this time, and they themselves also saw and heard some strange things. So the villagers of Tieshan Village also chose to leave.

 But, there is a saying that people die for money and birds die for food! So there are still people who want to return to Tieshan Village to hunt for treasures. In the end, these people either return empty-handed or never return.

 So according to the guesses of these players, those treasure hunters who were not afraid of death were actually solved by that weirdo. Now that the weirdo has turned into a pile of bones, no one will stop them from searching for the lost treasure. . . Although this so-called treasure is not very valuable and is simply a pile of iron ore, it is still very useful to Sweetwater Town at this time.

In addition, the player also learned a piece of gossip, that is, Tieshan Village once produced a marksman who could pierce the enemy with a hundred steps, and he also went to Boyang City to participate in a shooting competition, and finally won a second place .

As for why he ranked second, the main reason is that the organizer of this shooting competition is Feishimen, and the purpose of Feishimen's competition is to show how powerful their own flying stones are, and they are not inferior to conventional crossbows. , so the marksman from Tieshan Village was called the uncrowned king of that game, and he got a good bow as a reward.

However, this marksman was also a dull gourd, and he had a fascination with hunting, so he stayed in Boyang City for a few months before returning to Tieshan Village. In the end, he never left Tieshan Village throughout his life, but the most important thing is that he The journey was also very dramatic, that is, after spending three days and three nights, he hunted a colorful tiger with an enhanced size alone!

Although this marksman was not injured in the battle, after all, he is a classic long-range profession and will not engage in melee combat unless he has to, so he got rid of the tiger in a very thrilling way, and then he was very happy. . . .

 That’s right, whether it’s great joy or great sadness, such strong emotional fluctuations can kill people, because such emotions can make people’s heart beat faster, blood pressure soar, and then nothing happens.

And this sharpshooter's job is to be a hunter, so for a hunter of this era to be able to defeat a colorful tiger alone, it is no less than a scholar who has directly passed the first prize!

This is like Wu Song in "Water Margin". He was just an ordinary person at first, but ended up directly becoming the local captain because of killing a tiger. Rounding up, this captain is equivalent to half a county captain. , the police and other things are all under his control, which can be described as "ascension in the daytime".

What's more, from the perspective of later generations, the distance between the colorful tiger and the sharpshooter was less than three meters, and this distance was only one second for the tiger running at full speed, so Liu Xing could imagine how high the sharpshooter's adrenaline was at this time. Therefore, when all kinds of emotions accumulated to a high point, it would be difficult for this person to think of nothing.

However, what later people found strange was that the bow of this marksman mysteriously disappeared. It is not known whether it was taken away by some animal, or whether it was taken by someone first.

 But for players, powerful props like this that disappear mysteriously are hidden rewards prepared for them!

 So this group of players ran to Tieshan Village happily.

"Oh, that group of players really found the treasure in Tieshan Village. There are quite a lot of rough iron and iron tools. It seems that they pulled more than ten carts back to Tianshui Town. But what's interesting is that there are dozens of knives and guns inside, and they have been fired. The kind that cuts through the edge, so the owner of that mine back then was not a simple person."

Zhang Jingxu said seriously: "And these treasures are placed in a place you would never expect, that is under the big tree at the entrance of Tieshan Village! Yes, the foreman of the mine asked someone to dig a tunnel near the big tree at the entrance of the village, so this It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, because people in Tieshan Village would not have thought that the place where they go to brag and chat every day would have so much thick iron and iron tools buried underneath; as for how those players found it, It can only be described as a hit by mistake, because they originally fell in love with the big tree at the entrance of the village. After all, that big tree is not simple, it turned out to be the legendary real iron tree!"

 Real iron tree?

  Liu Xing, who has the memory of "Liu Peng", subconsciously felt that it was very familiar when he heard the name of this tree, as if he had heard it somewhere.

“Real iron tree? That is indeed quite rare.”

Among the many players present, Yue Shao, who was the most knowledgeable, said: "If I remember correctly, if you cut off a branch of this real iron tree, it will be a natural iron gun! Because of this The branches of the branches are sharper than the tips of needles, and its overall strength is stronger than ordinary hundred-smelted steel. Therefore, some sects that focus on guns will use the branches of the real iron tree as training props. After all, this thing is real. It is durable; however, the real iron tree also has a big disadvantage, that is, it has almost no plasticity, so you cannot cut it into pieces like other wood and then make it into a shield or other weapons."

“Huh? If that’s the case, isn’t this true iron tree just a worthless piece of food that is tasteless and a pity to throw away?” Shi Zixuan raised his eyebrows and said. "Yes, although this real iron tree looks very good, if you really want to use it, you will find that this real iron tree is useful, but not much! The only thing that can be called useful is the branches, although some The branches are also twisted, but they can also be used as long weapons; the trunk is very embarrassing, because the real iron tree is a bit like bamboo, that is, it is segmented, and you must follow these nodes. Cutting it crosswise can ensure that this section of real iron tree can maintain a certain strength, otherwise this thing may be crisper than popcorn! And this section is taller than our table."

Liu Xing looked at the table in front of him and began to think about what a piece of wood could be used for if it couldn't be carved or cut.

It seems like it’s really of no use, right?

"So if you think about it, you will find that even if such a big piece of wood is as hard as iron, it is useless for heroes, because you can't find anything useful for it, or where it can be used. There are other better and more convenient substitutes, so this real iron tree has dragon-slaying skills except for its branches. It looks very powerful, but in fact it has no practical effect at all. It is troublesome to even use it to make a fire." Yue Shao shook his head and said.

"Well, but our people brought back the entire real iron tree. Because they found that the material of this tree was very hard, they decided that this tree must not be simple, so they brought the whole tree back. , and then they discovered the treasure tunnel while digging the hole."

Zhang Jingxu said with a smile: "So this can be regarded as an accident. They found nothing after arriving in Tieshan Village, so they thought that they would be laughed at by others if they didn't bring something back. That's why they thought about taking the big tree at the entrance of the village back. It could be used as a beam or a boat. But that's not the point. The point is that they also found a handful of attributes in the treasure. A very good longbow! Yes, it’s the longbow used by that sharpshooter. I don’t know why it was placed in this treasure.”

"Oh? Maybe these miners discovered this bow by accident and never had the chance to take it away. So in order to prevent the bow from being seen by people in Tieshan Village, they put it together in this cave. inside."

Liu Xing wiped his mouth after finishing the noodles, nodded and said, "Then the question comes back again, is there any new progress regarding the weirdo and the ore radio?"

"No, there is still no progress at all, so we all suspect that this plot will have to wait for a while before it continues. For example, the ore radio will suddenly make a new sound at some point." Zhang Jingxu said with certainty.

Liu Xing thought for a while and then said: "Okay, I will take the convoy back to Tianshui Town. Lao Zhang, you can continue to stay in Boyang City to collect information, especially the information about Guo Er. We should I know how to deal with him, but I don’t know whether to deal with him or to fight directly?”

Zhang Jingxu nodded and did not speak directly. He just poked the table with his chopsticks.

As an old teammate, Liu Xing certainly understood what Zhang Jingxu meant. This was nothing more than telling him to be careful about the original owner of the teahouse, Meng Fugui who was in Tianshui Town!

　　It seems that during the period when he left Tianshui Town, Meng Fugui was still a little evil and wanted to make himself the leader of the alliance, so today he had to perform a **** descending to earth for him!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing took Master Zixuan and others out of the teahouse, and Zhang Jingxu also followed everyone out of the city, and then returned to Zhangjiamen alone.

After confirming that no one was left behind, Liu Xing took the convoy on the final journey.

Because Tianshui Town is located in a remote place, and at this time, Tianshui Town also knew that there were bandits with bad intentions, so they set up some open and hidden sentries on the path, which required Liu Xing to scan their faces to pass.

Hence, Liu Xing mounted the tall horse again and walked at the front of the motorcade.

However, to be on the safe side, Liu Xing arranged for Xu Bin to go first to Tianshui Town to notify him of his return, and asked Yin En and others to clean up the vacant houses to ensure that the people he brought back would not have a place to live. No.

Liu Xing was originally going to leave this matter to Xia Fei, but when he thought of the saying that a man who walks a hundred steps is half ninety, he worried about what danger the convoy would encounter at this critical moment. You must know that Tang Monk and others The last difficulty for people is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, so I don’t know if the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will arrange some more enemies for itself near Sweetwater Town.

Hence, a second-rate master like Xia Fei still has to stay with him, so that he can be more confident.

 Fortunately, Liu Xing’s worst plan did not come true. The convoy arrived at Tianshui Town very smoothly, and Gongzi Ying, Yin En and others came to the bridge to greet Liu Xing. Of course, Meng Fugui was among them.

However, because it was already getting late and the convoy was on a forced march in the past two days, everyone was exhausted. Therefore, there was no welcome party and we directly started arranging for the people in the convoy to move into the rooms that had been prepared. wooden house.
