Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2385 Gary who went astray

　　　"A dog in a hurry jumps over the wall?"

Liu Xing frowned and said: "If it were me, when I encountered this kind of bottleneck, I would definitely wonder if I had been cheated, but the way I was cheated was that someone had given me a trick, because my brothers still have to understand. Let’s settle the score, not to mention that Gary dared to trick his own sister! So I think when Gary found that his transformation skills began to become difficult, he would suspect that the ghouls who came into contact with him had hidden this skill! The last few steps are what new content must be added to the spell after entering the bottleneck period.”

"Just like those martial arts novels we often read, if some of the martial arts in them have ten levels, then even if the protagonist with extraordinary talents practices according to the secret books, it may take ten days and a half to reach six levels. After seven levels, it will be difficult to advance further unless he can discover the secrets in the secret book, or get guidance from an expert, or simply rely on his talent to break through. "

Ding Kun said with a smile: "Why does this happen? It's because martial arts novels are also written by ordinary people in the real world, so it is impossible for people to write things they don't know. Therefore, the authors of martial arts novels When writing this part of the content, I will refer to the situation in the real world; therefore, the various sects in the martial arts world can be understood as schools or factories in the real world, and some settings for teachers and students will refer to the real world. I am referring to the kind of apprenticeship where a person went to learn woodworking and blacksmithing from a master decades ago. The standard process is that the master provides food, housing, and teaching skills, and the apprentice has to treat the master as his own father. The kind of people who obey what they are told.”

"Just like Zhang Jingxu who went to Zhangjiamen, he usually had to stay in the sect to learn martial arts. After showing his talent in cooking, he naturally became a helper in the canteen. In addition to eating good food There were no other preferential treatment after that. Of course, this was a matter of course! As for Zhang Jingxu's own talent, he stood out from the crowd in Zhangjiamen, a third-rate school. He was directly assigned to the Rocket Class and enjoyed the treatment of a single dormitory. You can also choose various martial arts in the sect by yourself, so he mentioned something in the letter he sent back a few days ago, that is, for the same martial arts, the secret books obtained by the outer sect disciples and the inner sect disciples are obviously different in thickness. "

"This is also easy to understand. If we understand a martial arts abstractly as mathematics, or even a question about finding the area of ​​a circle, then the first few levels of this martial arts are equivalent to learning the formula for the area of ​​a circle first. Then we directly put the data in, which is the academic level of sixth grade in elementary school. The next few levels are to use other methods to solve the same problem, and then solve problems that do not provide various data, and finally calculate those abstract circles. Area! This academic level goes directly to university, so people without any talent will definitely not be able to learn it, and this becomes a natural threshold. If you have talent, you can become a formal disciple and learn the same martial arts. Furthermore, if you don’t have talent, you can only become an outer disciple and memorize formulas by rote.”

"Ah? Brother Ding, your analogy reminds me of a classmate of my childhood. Originally, he had to stand up and pretend to be a simple question, and he just used the knowledge points he will learn next year to solve the problem so that the teacher can praise him. He loves to learn."

Yin En curled his lips and said: "My grandfather once told me that there is a saying that a master teaches his disciples - to save a hand, because in the past when productivity was relatively backward, or like in the current martial arts module, a city can There are only so many blacksmiths it can accommodate, so if you teach an apprentice who is exactly the same as you, or even a little bit worse, then he will steal your business. After all, your apprentice is younger than you and has stronger hands and feet. It’s quick, and as a newcomer, the price is lower, and it’s easier to put down your body and do some work. Of course, the most important thing is that the deep relationship between master and apprentice was rare in the past.”

"The reason is very simple. To put it bluntly, the relationship between master and apprentice back then was that of master and slave, because the master also knew that if he trained a disciple, he would most likely compete with him for business after he became a master. Rounding it off is He has cultivated a competitor for himself. After all, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for his apprentice to have to move to another place after becoming a disciple, right? So when we look at previous movies, we will find that the most common conditions for the protagonist to become an apprentice are Even after I graduate, I have to work for three years for free. Of course, I also have to work for free before I graduate, and I have to cook and wash clothes.”

"But this is not enough for those masters who have a sense of crisis. They have to leave a back-up for themselves, so these masters will always keep some bottom-of-the-box skills and will not teach them to their apprentices. When they are old, This unique skill will only be passed on after you have mastered it, or after you have found a favorite apprentice, and usually it will only be taught to one person! This is also very common in martial arts modules, that is, each person can The secret skills of a large sect are basically only mastered by the leader and his disciples, plus a few master brothers and so on at most. After all, the more people know about it, the more likely it is that the secret skills of this sect can be mastered. Spread it out.”

"In this martial arts module, the secret skills of a sect are the foundation of a sect. If spread, this first-class sect will fall to the second rate. After all, you don't need to join a sect to learn your secret skills. Then your appeal to talented disciples will be greatly reduced."

Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think Gary should also understand this. He may think that the reason why he encounters a bottleneck is that those ghouls have left a hand to ensure that he will not be able to change after learning the transformation skills." Will he run to join the ghouls in other places, or simply run to start his own group of ghouls? So under normal circumstances, Gary can go to those ghouls after encountering a bottleneck? Let’s chat and get further methods, but now that he’s in this martial arts module, there are no ghouls around to help him, so he can only mess around with his eyes closed.”

 “Well, why is he here?”

Shi Zixuan couldn't help but said: "According to our previous speculation, the mythical creatures that entered the martial arts module this time should have come to this martial arts module because of the secret base on Jekyll Island, so Gary at the time also On Jekyll Island?”

Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. If the mythical creatures on Jekyll Island really come to this martial arts module, then it should be related to the transmission system left by the Yis! So! We can deduce that other teleportation methods may also teleport people here! According to the speculation in the forum, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall essentially complies with some of the basic settings of the game, so let’s finalize it. It’s just data, and different modules represent different folders, so transferring may allow you to move from one file to another.”

“If you put it that way, this martial arts module is just a hidden folder, right? So the mythical creatures that are teleported in cannot escape.”

Yin En touched his chin and said: "I remember Liu Xing, you mentioned that the last time you saw Gary, he seemed to have been teleported away, right? So he came to the current martial arts module at that time?"

"possible."

Liu Xing looked at Baihecheng and said: "So if I guessed correctly, Gary should be a little anxious at this time. In addition to daily transformation, there should be other actions, right? That is to say, he thinks he can transform faster. Way to be a ghoul!”

Baihecheng sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, Liu Xing, you are right. This Gary is really desperate, so he feels that if he wants to become a real ghoul, he must live up to his name. , you should understand what I mean.”

Liu Xing and others all took a deep breath, and their expressions became solemn, because this Gary was really crazy, he could even do such a thing.

Although Gary, as an inherently evil magician, did a lot of evil things before becoming half a ghoul, he has not really eaten anything randomly. This may be his bottom line as a human being.

“That’s why I rushed back to inform you.”

Baihecheng said seriously: "As far as I know, Gary is going to Liangcheng, so it is possible that he will pass through Tianshui Town, but it is unlikely that he will pass through Tianshui Town..."

 “Hey, don’t imitate Arnold here.”

Yin En couldn't help complaining: "If Gary wants to go to Liangcheng, he will definitely pass through Tianshui Town, but our Tianshui Town is still some distance from the main road, so it is unlikely that he will really come to Tianshui Town, unless Gary wants to do something Something bad? Like coming to Tianshui Town for a meal or something?”

 “Yes, that’s what I’m worried about!”

Baihe City nodded and said: "The existence of Sweetwater Town is somewhat famous in Far West City, because everyone in Far West City is also looking for a way out for themselves, so it is normal for them to know about Sweetwater Town. After all, Sweetwater Town is in this period of time It's also quite high-profile! Therefore, on the way to Liangcheng, Gary may continue his plan after the cooldown time of his transformation skills is up, and eat whatever he can, and only Tianshui Town is the most suitable place along the way. His cafeteria, after all, Tianshui Town looks quite weak, and it’s not a serious town. You should understand what I mean, right?”

Liu Xing frowned, nodded and said: "This is indeed a problem. To put it bluntly, Tianshui Town today is a settlement. Although we also have many experts sitting in the town, to outsiders, it is just a group of people trying to avoid the coming chaos. He just hid in the deep mountains and old forests, so there are not many people in Tianshui Town who can fight. Especially for Gary, he is now considered a first-class expert. If he wants to come to our Tianshui Town to order food, it will not be easy. ?”

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Baihecheng shook his head and said: "No, no, no, Gary today may be at the level of a third-rate master. Even if he deliberately hides his clumsiness, he is still a second-rate master, because after he came to this martial arts module It’s half useless! We all know that Gary is a magician, but the spells he knows cannot be used in this martial arts module, because there is no concept of magic in this martial arts module! "

Yin En on the side nodded and said affirmatively: "Actually, after entering this martial arts module, I also deliberately tried to use some simple spells. These spells can be cast in other modules after a few attempts. , almost everyone can learn it, let alone we are still players! As a result, I found that these spells were not usable in the martial arts module, and they felt powerless, so I chose to give up.”

"All in all, Gary, who has lost the ability to use magic, must be greatly reduced in strength, because after all, Gary is a magician who can turn into a ghoul. Now that he no longer has the title of magician, his close combat ability is worrying. Half a ghoul! I myself have been in this half-human, half-ghoul state. I think I should be able to beat Tyson at that time, but of course the prerequisite is not to fight in an open terrain, because I am afraid I can't get close."

Baihecheng said seriously: "So we can treat Gary now as a third-rate master. Of course, for the sake of safety, we can also raise him to the level of a quasi-second-rate master, because no one can guarantee whether Gary will find himself again." After his magic was useless, he switched to learning some boxing and kicking skills! However, I don’t think this possibility is high, because Gary is also an old man, so he was somewhat hesitant and asked him to learn boxing and kicking skills! Isn’t it just a slap in the face?”

"That's right. Gary was somewhat of a nobleman back then. It's okay to say that he didn't touch the spring water with his fingers, so even now he still deliberately finds a few followers to serve him. I think he will definitely not condescend. What kind of boxing skills are you learning? As for his followers, I guess they are also his backup hidden energy. All in all, we still have to guard against this Gary to avoid being plotted by him. "

Liu Xing thought for a while, looked at Baihe City and said: "If you can, Lao Bai, you should pay more attention to Gary's movements in the past two days, and confirm his identity again. If possible, we have to take action in advance, first If he takes care of it, you don’t need to worry so much!”

 “No problem, I have an idea now.”

Baihecheng said confidently: "I have arranged people to continue tracking Gary. As long as I find suitable evidence, I will take action against him! Of course, I have to find some foreign aid."
