Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2481 A distinctive book (please subscribe at the end of the month)

Liu Xing took a look at the thread-bound books that Yin En brought and couldn't help complaining: "Except for some popular books, the other books in the martial arts module will only be published once! So in theory they all belong to Out-of-print books, and they are rare out-of-print books with no more than 500 copies, because miscellaneous books like these to pass the time are based on online novels in the real world, and their sales are basically determined when they leave the factory— Two or three books are sent to each city, one of which is used as performance material by local storytellers, while the other one or two are placed in bookstores for sale. If they cannot be sold, they will be sold with other books after a year or two. Books that are not sold will be sold in bundles and shipped directly at a 100% discount.”

Because "Liu Peng" only had a few friends in the past, and these friends were quite busy at certain times. After all, Yin En's character card was to help his family sell goods, and Ding Kun's character card was to go hunting in the mountains. As for Zhang Jingxu's character card often goes out on business trips to help draw some talismans to ward off disasters and pray for blessings, so "Liu Peng" also likes to read these miscellaneous books, especially when he is responsible for boiling medicine in the backyard, he will sit on the stove Read a book next to you.

If this book is really too ugly, "Liu Peng" doesn't mind using it as a kindling. Anyway, the miscellaneous books in the martial arts module this time are quite cheap, especially the slow-selling books sold in packages are even more expensive than Straw paper is even cheaper, because novelists have patents on the production of several types of paper, which can reduce the cost of publishing books to the extreme. Therefore, only miscellaneous books using the lowest grade paper can make a profit at a discount. .

That's why Liu Xing sneered at Yin En's statement at this time, because these thread-bound books, which you can tell are miscellaneous books just by looking at the titles on the spine, are not worth much in Liu Xing's opinion.

"Hey hey hey."

At this time, Yin En didn't refute anything, just showed a "you understand" expression.

"Um?"

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that the books on the table might be trying to sell something like another, which meant that the content of these books had nothing to do with the titles and introductions on the covers.

"It's not that kind of book, is it? Yin En, please don't hurt me!"

Liu Xing's eyes widened, he shook his head and said, "Don't ruin my reputation! So take all these books back quickly, lest others think I'm not a good person!"

In the New Dragon Empire, although some types of books can be printed and distributed openly, they are also subject to many restrictions. For example, any form of publicity is not allowed, and special counters must be set up to separate them from other bookshelves. Moreover, the cover must use special colors and layout to ensure that passers-by can see at a glance what type of novel you have bought, so bookstores are not allowed to repackage these types of novels.

As for consumers, the biggest constraint for them is that they can only purchase three books at a time, and they can only make two such special purchases per month.

Although medicinal wine is good, don’t drink too much.

If a bookstore violates the relevant regulations, let alone continue to open the bookstore, the boss and the clerk will have to go bankrupt to solve the problem. As for the purchaser, they will be punished with a small punishment and a big warning, and they will be sent to the door of the vegetable market for a slap. Forty big boards and that's it.

Therefore, for bookstore owners with average ability, although these types of books are more expensive and they do not worry about sales, the problem is that it is a bit troublesome to sell these books safely, and at the same time, they are easily attracted by the surrounding people. Neighbors are secretly poking their spines, and their reputations have been hit immeasurably. Therefore, these bookstore owners will choose to do more than to do less, and simply do not sell these types of books. So if you want to buy these types of books, you can buy them in many places. At that time, there was only one choice, and that was to go to the nearest large city, and then go to the largest bookstore in the city, and then have to endure the glare of the people around to take these books home.

Therefore, it is really difficult for ordinary people to buy this kind of books, but there is a saying that wherever there is need, there is a transaction, even if it is not a serious transaction.

Therefore, some people will send those shameless lazy scoundrels to buy books for them, and then they will replace the covers of these books with the covers of other books, and finally sell these books to those in need at high prices. its people.

Although these highly polished books are much more expensive than paperback editions, the advantage is that these books are shipped confidentially, which allows you to save your face and avoid being secretly laughed at.

But the problem now is that when something without much technical content sells well, there will definitely be a lot of copycat products. After all, no one will dislike the money they make, not to mention that this business is inherently shady. , so even if some people suffer a loss, they have to break their teeth and swallow it.

So as an ordinary person, if you don't have a reliable channel, it is easy to buy fake and shoddy goods. Therefore, it is an eye-opener for Liu Xing that Yin En can come up with so many now.

"No, no, no, Liu Xing, don't look at me with such admiration, because there are only two books in this pile that are what you think, and these are not my own collection."

Yin En crossed his legs and said: "Aren't we planning to build a library recently? This will also make it easier for everyone to pass the time and see if they can learn anything from these books, such as triggering a new mission! Just For example, the day before Liu Xing came back, a player triggered a special mission from a book introducing geographical knowledge - a field trip. That is, when the player arrived at some famous geographical coordinates mentioned in the book When the time comes, the corresponding reward will be triggered; for example, the closest to our Tianshui Town is Luwei Town, which Liu Xing visited on the way back, because the story of this town is well known in the Xinlong Empire, and it is also There are many rumors claiming that there are treasures in Luwei Town! After all, before Luwei Town disappeared, it was considered the most prosperous town within a hundred miles."

"When the player who triggers the mission enters Reed Town, he can get a mysterious key to Reed Town. This key can open a valuable treasure box, but the specific location of this treasure box cannot be determined. I know, but it’s definitely not in Reed Town! Because this is included in the mission prompt, I guess the rewards for this check-in mission should be mission props with subsequent plots; so after thinking about it, this player He decided to give up on this task for the time being. Anyway, there is no time limit or failure penalty for this task, and he doesn’t have the time, energy, or strength to run around at this time. After all, these check-in locations are really scattered all over the world.”

As for reading books to trigger missions, this is a consensus reached by players before the martial arts module started. Because the amount of information in books is not generally high, there is no telling when you will see some useful tidbits. , thus triggering some treasure-hunting tasks. After all, in many martial arts-themed novels and film and television dramas, it will be mentioned that some martial arts masters hide their lifelong learning or magical weapons, as well as gold and silver jewelry somewhere. As for who is the destined person, it depends on who can decipher the treasure information left by him, and half of the treasure information has been placed in the book. The more famous one is "Forty-Two" "Zhang Jing" and "Three Hundred Tang Poems".

"In addition to triggering tasks, you can also gain scholar achievements by reading these books, and the more you read and the more seriously you read, the scholar's achievement level will also be improved accordingly, and it will also be used in certain judgments. It’s easier for you to pass! So Liu Xing, you have nothing to do now, so take this opportunity to complete this achievement.”

Yin En smiled, pointed to the book at the bottom and said: "Especially this book, it allows you to trigger an additional achievement, but to trigger this achievement you need to read the entire text! This is not what I am doing. I'm kidding you, but people who have read this book only triggered the achievement after reading the full text, so I spent a lot of effort to borrow this book. After all, no one has too many achievement points. , so if you want to trigger the achievement, you need to finish reading this book within two days. If you can't finish it, even if you are the leader, I will have to return this book to the library. Because there are many people waiting behind me.”

Looking at Yin En with a smirk on his face, Liu Xing couldn't say anything for a moment, because this was a conspiracy! If you want to trigger the achievement, you must read this unique book, and this will give Yin En and others a new topic to talk about.

So do you want these achievement points?

Seeing the troubled Liu Xing, Yin En stood up and left with a smile, and did not forget to remind Liu Xing before leaving.

"By the way Liu Xing, you'd better not read this book tonight, because I'm afraid you won't sleep well after reading it, and you will miss tonight's activities."

After driving Yin En away, Liu Xing picked up a book. Because he was really bored now, so it was good to read a book to pass the time. However, Liu Xing couldn't bear it without even looking at it twice. I remembered the bad thing in my mind.

Although Yin En came up with a stupid way to let others watch him to prevent himself from being controlled by this thing again and doing bad things.

But Liu Xing knew that it was better to seek help from others than to seek help from others, so he also wanted to rely on his own strength to deal with that thing that he still didn't know what it was.

"There's still a little too little information about it."

After Liu Xing thought for a moment, he still shook his head, "Now I know that it can control my five senses, and the premise may be that it can modify my memory bit by bit when I am not very focused, so it It kept distracting me before. This should be to desensitize me to it, so that even if I lose my memory for a period of time after being controlled by it, I won't think there is any problem with it. After all, I We were all used to it by then.”

Liu Xing frowned when he realized this, because the thing in his mind seemed to have a high level of intelligence, or it could be said that its preset program was very perfect and would not simply and crudely control the host. , only in this way can the host be completely controlled silently.

We have to find a way to break the situation.

At this time, Liu Xing thought that he was trapped in the backyard this afternoon. In fact, there was a very feasible way to break the situation, which was to use Yingjiang's eagle eye skill to forcefully divert his vision, and if Yingjiang could do it at this time, In the sky above the medical center, it can help you determine the size of the backyard.

It's a pity that I had forgotten about it at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have been so frightened that I was almost too scared to go to the toilet.

You must know that the last time Liu Xing was too scared to go to the toilet, it was when he was in single digits because he accidentally glanced at something he shouldn't have. . . When Liu Xing was in college, he revisited his childhood memories and discovered that this was actually a comedy.

This is a bit embarrassing.

No, I can't be distracted at this time!

Liu Xing, who was frantically reminding himself not to lose his mind at this time, naturally started to hint to himself not to lose his mind at the first sign, and even gave himself a slap in the face just to be on the safe side.

It was at this time that Alice, who had just walked in, saw Liu Xing beating herself.

Seeing this situation, Alice, who had already heard about what Liu Xing had encountered in the afternoon, subconsciously thought that Liu Xing had been controlled by her five senses and started to hurt herself at this time, or that Liu Xing was having an affair with her true self. Second The personalities engaged in a willpower confrontation, but at this time the body and hands were already controlled by different consciousnesses, so the fight started!

So who should I help? !

Although Alice rushed up immediately, she didn't know whether she should help Liu Xing's hands or body, so she simply hugged Liu Xing.

At this time, Liu Nan also walked into the ward with dinner and saw this scene of no evil.

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

Liu Nan shook his head, put down his dinner and turned around to leave, leaving only Liu Xing and Alice looking at each other in embarrassment.

Now I can't explain it even more clearly.

Liu Xing also knew why Alice hugged him suddenly, because he thought that his five senses were controlled again, so he quickly explained that this time he slapped himself because he was just afraid that he would be distracted. At the same time, he also explained why he was distracted. understand.

"Well, I also think that Liu Xing, the reason why you are distracted is, firstly, because the thing in your brain wants to modify the factory settings of your brain so that it can control your body later; secondly, it is to make you get used to it. I will lose my memory for a period of time from time to time, so that after being controlled by it, I will feel that I am just distracted. "
