Not many players knew about the human "employees" in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, so Liu Xing simply told Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen about this situation.
"Is there still such an operation?"
Li Hanxing said in surprise: "No wonder I thought some NPCs were quite humane before. It turns out they are really played by real people."
Liu Xing nodded and said: "I think in addition to humans, some mythical creatures should also become employees of the Cthulhu Game Hall. After all, judging from the currently known information, the first
Some of the first batch of players have become employees of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, and these people are definitely not enough."
"In that case, since that restaurant is opened by one of your friends, it means that there should be a module nearby, and it seems to be related to Atsuta Shrine." Sun Huiwen touched it.
Chin said: "This is very interesting. Although Atsuta Shrine is reluctant to put good things outside, it does not mean that Atsuta Shrine does not have good things, so this module involving Atsuta Shrine may be very difficult.
."
Liu Xing smiled, shook his head and said: "That's true, but there is a question here, that is whether this module will be opened during the Gongwu War, or whether this module is for the Gongwu War.
It is prepared for battle; as far as I am concerned, since kp Broken Bridge did not remind you that the side mission was triggered just now, it means that this module should be prepared for ordinary players."
Li Hanxing thought for a while and said: "That's right. Anyone can take the side quests of the Battle of Gongwu, as long as you can find a way to trigger this module. But from what I heard, these side quests
Missions have dynamic difficulty, and the difficulty will change depending on which area you are in. For example, there are several side missions with very similar situations, and stronger players will encounter stronger mythical creatures."
"As for the usual modules, they are prepared for specialized players, so the difficulty is determined according to the overall strength of those players. The most important thing is that the modules experienced by players pay attention to continuity, so they will be arranged in these modules.
Some foreshadowings are exclusive to these players, so it would be troublesome if these foreshadowings were taken away by other players. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, it is understandable that these modules are temporarily closed in the Cthulhu Run game lobby.
"
"But no matter what, the difficulty of this module must be very high, because it involves Atsuta Shrine, and I think it is very likely that it will allow players to get something from Atsuta Shrine." Sun Huiwen
echoed.
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Yes, in fact, I can roughly guess the general situation of this module now, because I have heard him talk about his ideas for building this module before.
Yes, first of all, the restaurant called '5' should be the initial location of the module. Players will be involved in an emergency in that restaurant, and the spearhead of this emergency will definitely be
Point to Atsuta Shrine, and then the player will trigger the first battle round while investigating Atsuta Shrine, but this time the battle round will be more anticlimactic, basically to lead to the final boss."
"The next step is to conduct an in-depth investigation to determine the cause and effect of the emergency, and then naturally enter the final stage. In this final stage, players need to find props that can restrain the final boss, which is a certain prop in Atsuta Shrine.
For example, the Amancongyun Sword promoted by Kanda Shrine will enter the final boss battle after being found. As long as the players can use that item to exert its due effect, the players will be invincible. However, in
At this time, players will face a multiple-choice question, which determines what benefits they can get from this module."
Sun Huiwen touched his chin, nodded and said: "Liu Xing, your friend is also very good at designing modules. The above is a standard process for modules - encounter problems, study problems, solve problems, but he is in the last branch.
The design is very interesting, it is equivalent to a multi-ending setting; of course, the most important thing is that it simplifies the complex and condenses the requirements for clearance into one point, which is great news for us players."
"That's right." Li Hanxing nodded and said, "I don't know if the Cthulhu Run Game Hall gave those module authors performance indicator tasks, so in order to ensure the player's card removal rate, these module authors, one or two
Every module written is very flashy, with a lot of main lines and branches, and more elements for players to find to pass the level. Sun Huiwen and I have encountered a module before, which required us to collect all five swords to pass the level.
These five swords are all hidden in very hidden places, and it took us several days to clear the module."
Liu Xing sighed, shook his head and said: "Those games in the real world are not all like this. In order to delay the player's game time, they prepare a lot of collection or errand tasks. Players have to waste time in order to advance the plot.
In some boring places; but compared to the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, it is better because this is a truly immersive gaming experience."
Everyone gave a knowing smile.
After laughing, Liu Xing stood up to say goodbye and went to find Alice.
After telling Alice about the situation of Final Loss, Liu Xing said: "Actually, I still want to go to Atsuta Shrine now, because the module of Final Loss has a special feature, that is, the rewards are generous, and it will
Players will be rewarded with props based on the difficulty of the module. It would be nice to not be able to save their lives after clearing the level like other modules."
Alice thought for a while, shook her head and said: "Let's forget it. Now that the battle for Nagoya has entered a fierce stage, we don't have more time and energy to focus on other places. After all, it involves Atsuta Shrine.
Ten days and half a month won't solve the problem, not to mention whether we can trigger that module or not."
Liu Xing shrugged and said with a wry smile: "Well, let's focus on Nagoya City. But having said that, Alice, you should have asked your undercover agent, right?"
"Well, I just sent him a text message. He told me that the public faction has indeed begun to prepare all kinds of things needed to set fire, and they have concentrated these things in a hidden place. Only a few people know this hidden place.
But judging from the last location of these things, it can be determined that these things have been transported near Nagoya Castle." Alice nodded and said.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Liu Xing touched his chin and suddenly thought of an idea, "By the way, Alice, do you think we should strike first? As long as we are sure that the public faction is ready to take action, then we will create a fire in advance to attract the fire fighters."
The team is dispatched, so that the arrangements made by the public faction will be invalid."
Alice nodded first, then shook her head and said: "We can indeed do this, but the effect may not be good, or it will only work the first time, forcing the public faction to temporarily give up on themselves.
plan, but the public faction will also learn a lesson, gain wisdom, and prepare more for the second time, such as creating a car accident to paralyze traffic, or creating fires in other places in advance to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so Liu
It’s better not to use this plan of yours, Xing.”
"Okay." Liu Xing sighed and said, "Then we can only find a way to join Zhang Jingxu and the others after the incident, and then use the mantis to catch the cicada, with the oriole behind. When they find the treasure, we
Then kill him from the side and cut him off."
"It can only be the."
Alice also sighed and said: "We still have too few people here, so there are not many methods we can use, but I suddenly thought of a question, that is, have you heard of Liu Xing?
Dragon Gate.”
Liu Xing looked at Alice with a puzzled look and said, "Dragon Gate? Alice, are you talking about the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate?"
Alice shook her head and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't know about Dragon Gate. First of all, Dragon Gate is just a legend now, a legend that has been spread around the world from hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago. According to the current situation, Dragon Gate is just a legend."
According to known information, the first person to mention the legend of Longmen was Xuanjun from China."
Xuanjun?
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but said: "Xuanjun is the author of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture", right? Is the Dragon Gate the door to Kadath? But Kadath is also located in the dreamland, so
To put it bluntly, this is just a fixed-point portal, and it should not become a legend."
"No, the Dragon Gate does not refer to the Gate of Kadasi, but another gate that allows people to instantly become immortals and ascend to heaven. That's why Mr. Xuan called this gate the Dragon Gate. This is exactly what he said.
It means "carp leaping over the dragon gate." Alice said seriously: "Back then, Xuanjun learned about the existence of the dragon gate for the first time from an old farmer when he was traveling around the world. The dragon gate suddenly appeared on a small river and lasted for five minutes.
Then it suddenly disappeared, and the fish and shrimps in the river crashed into the dragon gate like crazy."
"The second time Xuanjun heard about Longmen was in a small border town. The population of this small town was only a few hundred people, but judging from the number of local buildings, the population of this small town should have doubled several times, so Xuanjun
You asked the locals, and you heard that a door suddenly appeared in the center of the small town two months ago. A bold middle-aged man opened the door, and he instantly transformed into a human.
He looks like a young man, and he can fly in the air and produce thunder in his palms."
"Seeing this, everyone present stepped forward to touch the door. As a result, they became immortals who could fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and control wind and rain. However, after the door disappeared, those people seemed to suddenly realize something, and they all
Flying towards the sky, his whereabouts are unknown. From then on, Xuanjun deliberately collected a lot of rumors about Dragon Gate, and finally believed that Dragon Gate should be a gift from the ancient gods to ordinary people. After the Dragon Gate incident spread, the world
Reports of sightings of Dragon Gate appeared from various places.”
"However, as time goes by, the number of Longmen's appearances becomes less and less. Especially after the 20th century, Longmen has disappeared. Therefore, people who know this only regard this matter as a legend, but I am
After learning the truth about this world, I suddenly thought of the Dragon Gate, because I suspected that the Dragon Gate was probably related to the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. Perhaps the Dragon Gate was the 'backdoor' of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, or
Or is it just a bug?"
Liu Xing nodded, looked at Alice and said: "It seems that this dragon gate should indeed be related to the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, but I think this dragon gate is actually a modifier. Its original purpose is to modify the world.
What happened in the past, after all, those mythical creatures may not have existed in this world, so in order for those mythical creatures and the stories related to mythical creatures not to appear too obtrusive, some changes do need to be made in some places."
"As for why after the 20th century, the sighting reports of Dragon Gate gradually became zero, it should be because the modules of the Cthulhu Run game can be roughly divided into two categories: modern and 1920s, so by the 20th century
Players began to appear after the tenth century; and those who ascended because of Dragon Gate, they should also become part of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, but they should not be 'employees', but actors... Maybe we
They are the mythical creatures you encounter.”
Alice frowned and said with a slight surprise: "Liu Xing, you mean that the Cthulhu Running Group game hall is turning those people into mythical creatures? Wait, this seems to make sense, because Cthulhu
The Lupao Team Game Hall probably won't recruit tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands or millions of professional actors to play mythical creatures, so it makes sense that the Cthulhu Game Hall hired these people from the past to "play" mythical creatures.
"
Just as Liu Xing was about to say something, Alice's cell phone suddenly rang.
Alice took out her cell phone and took a look, then she pulled Liu Xing to the window and looked in the direction of the amusement park.
I saw that the location of the playground was as bright as day.
"What the hell is the public faction doing? How many high-power light bulbs have they installed in the amusement park?" Liu Xing asked doubtfully.
Alice shook her head and said very puzzledly: "I don't know either. After my undercover discovered this matter, he went to find someone to inquire about it. All he found was that this was all suddenly arranged by the superiors."
Liu Xing stared at the amusement park and said, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This should also be part of the public faction's plan."
