At this moment, the boss had already opened the safe in the Artisan Village, and inside the safe was a palm-sized metal box that looked like a box for candy.
"Huh? I didn't expect this box to be in this safe."
Before Liu Xing could speak, the boss sighed and said: "No wonder I couldn't find this box before the funeral. It turned out to be because the box was placed in the safe. But this is unexpected.
It makes sense, after all, this box is very important to them."
Hearing what the boss said, Liu Xing subconsciously said: "How about returning this box to the seller? This box doesn't look valuable anyway, but it should be of great commemorative significance to the seller, right?"
The boss shook his head and said with a smile: "Although you looked like a bastard when you took out the gun, but judging from the current situation, you can be considered a good boy. I think there should be a reason for you to take the gun, right? As
I am a second-hand businessman, and I have a pretty good network in Nagoya, so I also know that you in the construction industry can easily attract enemies, so it is understandable that you carry a gun with you."
Liu Xing shrugged and said smoothly: "Yes, it is indeed easy to provoke all kinds of enemies in this line of work that I do, and there are quite a few of these enemies who want to take my life, so if you don't carry it with you
If I have a gun, I'll have no choice but to be a human being; so boss, can you tell me the story of this box?"
"This is actually a bloody plot that is almost bad in TV dramas. To put it simply, the seller and his wife are very loving. It doesn't matter even if they live in poverty, but the seller makes a lot of money after learning the craft.
He made a lot of money, and he used the first money he earned to buy this candy box. Of course, this candy box was considered the highest-end candy gift box at that time, so this box was kept."
"Later, the seller's wife died of illness, and their children began to live in big cities as adults, so the seller soon became depressed. Even his old friends of decades could not say a few words in front of him.
He would be driven away by him who suddenly got angry... Later, I didn’t know whether it was the seller who wanted to leave, or whether he had a mental problem. In short, one day he suddenly seemed normal and was willing to communicate with outsiders.
, but he will carry this box with him wherever he goes."
"The next story is even simpler. The seller also died of illness, and his children also tried to find the box when they returned to the Artisan Village to handle his funeral affairs, but they spent a lot of effort.
...Well, actually, they didn’t look for this box very seriously. They just looked for it while packing up their belongings. I also asked them when I bought this safe, and they just looked for it without even thinking about it.
Said there couldn't be a box in this safe."
At this point, the boss, who seemed to be in his fifties or sixties, said sadly: "To be honest, I am also worried that my children will treat me like this in the future, because my children also go to school after school.
They live in a big city, after all, there is nothing worth remembering in this countryside, so I plan to sell these safes and then go live with my children; as for the seller’s children, they are no longer with us.
These fellow villagers are already in contact, so it’s up to you, little brother, to handle this box.”
Liu Xing nodded, took the box from the boss's hand, and then shook the box. He heard the sound of hard objects colliding in the box, so Liu Xing immediately opened the box, and then
I saw a broken mirror.
Fragments of the mirror world?
"Not really."
KP Duanqiao, who had anticipated Liu Xing's thoughts in advance, stood up and said, "This mirror fragment has no connection with the world in the mirror, but it is also an interesting prop because it is related to an idiom."
Mirror related to idiom?
Reunion?
Liu Xing subconsciously thought of "reunion after a broken mirror" because the original owner of this mirror fragment was originally separated from his wife, causing his mental state to be severely affected. However, he later returned to normal because of this mirror fragment.
So Liu Xing guessed that it was this fragment of mirror that allowed its original owner to "see" his wife. Isn't this somewhat similar to the story of a broken mirror being reunited?
However, as a senior Chinese class representative for more than ten years, Liu Xing still knows very well that the "broken mirror" in the broken mirror and the current mirror can be said to be two different things, because the reason why the "broken mirror" can be reunited is that
Because the "broken mirror" is actually a polished copper mirror, it can be combined into one by re-casting and welding; but the mirror in Liu Xing's hands definitely cannot be broken and reunited, even if it is glued with 502 glue.
There will be obvious gaps when put together.
Of course, except for the fragments of the mirror world.
But then again, why does this mirror fragment look a bit blurry, giving people the feeling that they can’t see clearly?
etc.
At this time, another idiom suddenly appeared in Liu Xing's mind - Mirror Flowers, Water Moon!
"Hey, Liu Xing, it seems that you have already guessed what idiom this mirror fragment is related to, right? Yes, it is Mirror Flowers, Water Moon. Although some things look real, they are actually false."
As soon as kp Broken Bridge finished speaking, the specific information of this mirror fragment appeared in Liu Xing's mind - Mirror Flower: It can reflect the real and the false, and it will automatically synthesize "Shui Yue" when it comes into contact with it.
"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water".
"True or false?"
Liu Xing looked at the fragments of mirror in his hand and could only say one sentence: "I don't know how to do it."
But then again, this "mirror flower" is actually a fragment of a mirror, so what is this "water moon"? Is it just a water surface reflecting the moonlight?
It shouldn't be that simple, right?
Liu Xing touched his chin and felt that things were not that simple.
"Okay, I'm going to open the last safe now."
The boss looked at the mirror fragment in Liu Xing's hand and said: "Although I don't know why that person attaches so much importance to this mirror fragment, I think this mirror fragment should have a very important meaning to him, so from a
From a fellow villager's point of view, I hope that if you don't plan to keep them, you can find a place to bury them together. This can be regarded as a good deed."
Liu Xing nodded, just put the mirror flower in the box again, and then put the box into his pocket.
"KP, is the explosion rate of this safe so high? I just randomly selected three safes, and two of them have already been shipped, and there should be something in the last safe, after all, this safe is
The only safe from Kujing Village." Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
kp Duanqiao smiled and replied: "Yes, this safe will definitely be shipped, or in fact every safe here will be shipped, but the types of shipments are different, because this store can also be considered
A scrapped case in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall."
"Abolish the case?!"
Looking at the surprised Liu
Looking at game companies in the real world, apart from the most basic programmers and artists, the most important staff is planners; however, there are no professional planners in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, but employees like our kp and others
You can submit your own plans through the suggestion box, and if these plans are approved, we can get some benefits."
"Of course, some plans can be approved at the beginning, but they may be abandoned in the later review stage or after a small-scale trial run. After all, what can I say about the Cthulhu Run Game Hall?
In my opinion, it is a program dominated by the AI system and assisted by our manual customer service. Therefore, some problems can only be discovered through practice, or only after the players have actual experience can they determine whether the plan is suitable for solving.
Sulu Running Group Game Hall.”
"This is the case with this second-hand safe project. It only took a few days to be approved at the beginning. You must know that the review time for other approved projects was one month, so everyone at the time felt that
This plan should be implemented, because this plan is quite interesting on paper; I know the kp who did this plan, and he said that his inspiration came from domestic card games, or card drawing.
Mobile games.”
"I believe Liu Xing, as long as you have played or heard of domestic mobile games, you should know that at least half of the best-selling list of domestic mobile games will be occupied by card-drawing games, and the remaining mobile games will also be more or less
Some card drawing elements, because this card drawing element can be said to be a win-win situation for players and game manufacturers. After all, people are more or less gambling, and card drawing is the best channel to legally release gambling. Players
Everyone will enjoy the feeling of being absorbed into the soul with one shot, or ten consecutive shipments, while the game manufacturers will make money from players drawing cards."
"So the plan for this second-hand safe is actually very simple. That is to set up a store selling second-hand safes all over the world, and then the safes in the store will have things, some of which are props, and others are triggers.
Important items of special modules, and these special modules are high-risk and high-reward modules, so every time a player opens a safe, it is like drawing a card. Sometimes he can get a good item for free, and sometimes it is
Able to activate a special module..."
Having said this, kp Duanqiao paused, and then said with a wry smile: "However, this only looks good on the surface, because in our opinion, the probability of players obtaining props and triggering special modules will be 50% each.
As a result, there was a serious polarization. In two of the five stores we trialled, the situation in two stores was that if many players triggered the special module after obtaining the props, they would not go to the official start.
The plot of this special module is to only take money and not work, while in the other three stores, players are willing to take money and work, but the failure rate of the module is too high."
"In other words, these stores are either unable to make ends meet, or they have become black shops with extremely high customer rip-off rates. In short, they just can't find a suitable balance?" Liu Xing said subconsciously.
kp Duanqiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, in the plan that was planned to be implemented, the purpose of this second-hand safe store was to provide challenging modules to some strong players. After all, Liu Xing yourself
As players, we also know that because the modules have a certain degree of continuity, some modules will be very difficult to connect before and after. Therefore, at the beginning, we believed that the card tearing rate of players in those special modules would be about
It was around 60%, and ended up being as high as 90% when the trial run was completed..."
When Liu Xing heard the data "90 percent", he began to feel that the "Black Goat Breeding Plan" in his hand was a bit hot, because this special module may be more difficult than he had imagined before.
...Besides, this is a Cthulhu-level module.
However, kp Duanqiao was still minding his own business and said: "So this plan was abandoned directly in the end, because the Cthulhu Run game lobby is not at odds with the players and wants to kill all the players directly.
Therefore, a plan with such a high card tearing rate will definitely not be passed, but part of this plan is still retained and turned into a locker lottery - sometimes players can get a handful of storage items in the module
Locker key, and the probability of items appearing in this locker is 50%, the probability of triggering a special module is 25%, and the remaining 25% probability is
Empty boxes or useless things.”
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that after going through so many modules, he actually got the keys to several lockers. He originally thought that these keys had been arranged in the plot of the module, but he didn't expect this.
It's a lottery.
At this moment, the boss had opened the last safe, and an iron box also appeared in the safe, but there was a lock on the iron box.
Unfortunately, this is not the lock that Liu Xing had in mind.
So Liu Xing nodded towards the boss, and the boss also understood what Liu Xing meant, so he directly picked up the tools and opened the iron box.
Then, Liu Xing saw a burst of white smoke rising from the iron box, and then Liu Xing immediately felt difficulty breathing!
