Liu Xing looked at the text messages on his phone, sighed helplessly, then put down his phone, lay on his back on the bed, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, studying medicine will ruin your life."
Liu Xing, male, 22 years old, graduated from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, unemployed and at home.
Half a month ago, Liu Xing had a quarrel with the department director. After all, Liu Xing was still young, so he chose to resign in anger.
In the past half month, Liu Xing has been applying for jobs in major hospitals. However, because Liu Xing has just graduated and does not have many connections, the result of the job search is always "please go home and wait for news."
"Are you really going home?" Liu Xing found his father's phone number in his address book.
Three generations of Liu Xing's family have practiced medicine and have three clinics. When Liu Xing graduated, Liu Xing's father originally wanted Liu Xing to stay at home to help, but Liu Xing chose to refuse because Liu Xing did not want to be fixed at such a young age.
In one position, he wanted to go out and have more adventures.
"Okay, but I will give you 5,000 yuan in living expenses in the end. From now on, you can earn money to support yourself." Liu's father said at the time: "If you can't survive, just come back to me honestly. If you want to take over,
Any clinic will do."
"Forget it, it's so embarrassing to go back after just over two months." Liu Xing thought of this and turned off his phone. He knew his father's character. If he went back now, he would be laughed at for the rest of his life.
"There are one thousand left, which means I will be out of food in another month at most." Liu Xing took out the last of his family property from his wallet and looked at the ceiling melancholy.
"Hey, why are you thinking so much? With LOL starting, it's time to torture a bunch of elementary school students to change your mood."
Just do it, Liu Xing stood up and turned on the computer.
An hour later, Liu Xing dropped the mouse with a look of displeasure and looked at the computer speechlessly.
"It's only Monday, and there are so many elementary school students?!" Liu Xing's jungler grabbed three lanes, and then his teammates sent him in various positions, and finally Liu Xing had no choice but to play GG.
Speechless, Liu Xing closed LOL and planned to watch new episodes on bilibili, the country's largest X** friend website.
As a result, everything went wrong and station B exploded again. Well, it wasn't the first day that station B exploded either.
"Grandpa is writing a small round book again." Liu Xing touched his chin and came to a correct conclusion.
"Forget it, I'd better go to the group to tease girls." Liu Xing clicked on QQ.
"Didi didi."
As soon as it went online, a pop-up window took up half of Liu Xing's screen.
"I'll go, Tongxun is so shameless. The advertisements have been so big for a long time." Liu Xing was startled by this super-large pop-up window.
"Come and play and get 100,000 RMB for free!" Liu Xing looked at the bright red characters in the pop-up window and was speechless for a while.
Liu Xing has never seen such web game advertisements. After all, as a middle-aged person born in the 1990s, I have never seen any online game advertising slogans, such as "Where is the greasy senior sister" and "My wife can't play when she is at home", of course.
, there are many advertisements in the "come and get it" style, but this is the first time Liu Xing has seen Haikou like this advertisement directly boasting of 100,000 yuan.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but murmured to himself, "This is a bit impressive. One hundred thousand yuan, okay, I'll just give you this ad. I'll try it by clicking on it. Anyway, I won't suffer any loss if I click on it."
Ever since, Liu Xing clicked "Join Game" under the slogan.
"Ding."
After a soft beep, Liu Xing's computer turned into a black screen.
"Fuck you!" Liu Xing couldn't help roaring, "My 200g seeds, don't leave me."
Liu Xing was heartbroken about the seed in his computer and just wanted to restart the computer. At this time, the computer automatically returned to its original state, but Liu Xing noticed that there was an extra game icon on the computer desktop.
"Okay, okay." Liu Xing quickly opened a hidden folder, and the files inside were all intact.
"It seems that the game was automatically installed just now?" Liu Xing looked at the strange game icon on the desktop, but this icon was somewhat familiar to Liu Xing. It was the avatar of Cthulhu.
Cthulhu is an evil entity in the Cthulhu myth created by the American novelist Howard Philip Lovecraft (hereinafter referred to as Lovecraft). He has an octopus-like head and numerous tentacles on his face.
The hands and feet have huge hooks, and there are bat-like leathery membrane wings on the back. If you are a World of Warcraft player, you should be able to connect to one of the bosses in the game - C'Thun, which is a tribute to the Cthulhu Mythos.
The first time Liu Xing came into contact with the Cthulhu Mythos was when a good friend of his took him to a board game room and watched a Cthulhu running group.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows when he thought of this. He took a closer look at the title under the game icon and found that it was exactly what Liu Xing thought.
"Cthulhu Run Game Hall?"
To put it simply, the Cthulhu Run game is a very popular board game in Europe and the United States. However, unlike domestically popular board games such as Werewolf and Three Kingdoms, Cthulhu Run is a role-playing game.
The unique feature is that you can play your own role immersively, and within the scope allowed by the rules, various open-ended story developments are brought about based on the players' actions. For example, in other games, when you encounter an enemy, you can only
You can simply choose to defeat to continue advancing the plot, but in the Cthulhu team-running game, you can choose to directly avoid the enemy, bribe the enemy, persuade the enemy, or even defect to the enemy. This is all possible.
However, in the Cthulhu group game, fighting is never the main theme, because generally speaking, fighting is equal to the destruction of the group, because the enemies played by the explorers played by the players are all mythical creatures!
Because the Cthulhu Running Game is naturally based on a series of novels written by the great God of Love Craftsmanship, and these novels are collectively known as the Cthulhu Mythology, and after the death of the great God of Lovecraftsmanship, many authors also wrote fan-fiction Cthulhu Myths.
The Sulu Mythology finally allowed the Cthulhu Mythology to shape a brand new mythology system - the Cthulhu Mythology System.
As the "face" of this mythological system, Cthulhu is an important deity among the old rulers, a major force in the Cthulhu mythological system. It is a symbol of "water" in the "Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water" faction.
The existence is now sealed by another group of powerful forces that are hostile to it - the old gods. It is now sleeping in the underwater city of R'lyeh in the South Pacific. When affected by the phase of the universe or other external factors, Cthulhu's seal
It will automatically unlock and appear at sea. However, because the seal has not been completely unlocked, Cthulhu cannot stay away from R'lyeh. When the stars change again and the power of the seal is restored, Cthulhu will return to R'lyeh.
Ye continues to sleep, and when Cthulhu truly lifts the seal, the world will surely be destroyed.
From the setting of Cthulhu, it can be seen that Cthulhu is capable of destroying the world, and Cthulhu is not the strongest in the Cthulhu mythology system, and the setting in the Cthulhu running group
, Cthulhu can unconditionally kill a random number of players, and Cthulhu's attack speed is far faster than that of players, so when players encounter Cthulhu, they can basically wait to die.
Of course, Cthulhu is definitely a boss-level existence and will not appear casually. However, there are various mythical creatures under Cthulhu, and the weakest ones are the ghouls and deep dives.
(To put it bluntly, they are murlocs, but there are differences in some details), but no matter how weak the ghouls and deep divers are, their combat capabilities are equivalent to the world's boxing champions and fighting masters.
Of course, Liu Xing, who was still a newbie at the time, once asked the friend who led him into the trap, even if he is a fighting master or a boxing champion, it is not a matter of knocking him down with one shot.
Liu Xing's friend laughed and told Liu Xing that you are overthinking it, because most of the players in the Cthulhu Run game are ordinary people. The special ones are policemen, detectives, etc.
The most you have in your hand is a pistol, and although the Cthulhu Run game is very free, all actions must be within the scope of the rules. For example, as an ordinary person, it is impossible for you to obtain weapons such as submachine guns.
It's impossible to just run around with weapons, and ghouls and deep divers have all-round attributes that crush ordinary humans.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, humans have no chance of defeating these mythical creatures. Of course, there will be some individual cases, because the Cthulhu group game is very free, and some groups will choose to customize some rules, such as joining certain
Weird skills...
The specific forms of the Cthulhu Running Group game are divided into dough and online groups. Dough naturally refers to players gathering together to play in real life, while online groups refer to games played online through QQ and other communication applications and related tools, and Cthulhu
The Cthulhu Race game requires a lot of time and energy. A Cthulhu Race game can take as short as one or two hours, or as long as several years. It is not like Werewolf and Three Kingdoms, which can be played in more than ten minutes.
As a result, there are not many players participating in the domestic Cthulhu group game.
And the most important thing is that the Cthulhu Run game does not have a dedicated online platform and mobile application like Werewolf and Three Kingdoms. This has also led to many Cthulhu Run game enthusiasts after successfully recruiting friends.
Helplessly, he found that he had no suitable place to take his friends to play. Liu Xing was like that at the beginning. Although he really wanted to try the Cthulhu Run game, he never had the opportunity to actually participate in a Cthulhu Run game. After all, he wanted to
It is not easy to organize a dough party, because participants need to spare several hours of time at the same time, and there is also the embarrassment of not having a professional platform in online groups.
And now, Liu Xing looked at the "Cthulhu Running Game Hall" on the computer desktop and couldn't help but laugh. Unexpectedly, he encountered a platform that specializes in Cthulhu Running games. This really surprised Liu
