"Well, if we fail to clear the module, will we really die?" Fujiwara-san asked.
"Of course, but if you have a spare character card, you still have a life. So as long as you collect the points, you can go to the mall to buy a character card and put it in the bottom of the box. This can also be regarded as leaving yourself a way out; but
Then again, the quality of ordinary-level character cards is actually very poor, so I don’t recommend that you buy more ordinary-level character cards." Liu Xing said seriously.
"What about the character cards you get when you pass the novice module with a perfect score?" Ichiro Kudo asked curiously.
Liu Xing looked at Kudo Ichiro with some surprise. He didn't expect that like him, he also passed the novice module with perfect scores, and also got a special character card. It seemed that he also had a promising future.
But it is true that judging from Kudo Ichiro's previous performance, he is indeed a newcomer with good abilities. Not only is he very engaging in his performances, but his psychological quality is also very good. Unfortunately, he is still an ordinary middle school student in the real world.
Therefore, this initial character card based on the main body may be a bit insufficient in terms of numerical values.
"Oh, what about that character card? It actually tests your luck, because this character card will be activated when you tear up the card, and then randomly select the surrounding NPCs to possess, so it depends on you at the time.
Are there any powerful NPCs around? Take the environment we are in now as an example. If your character card is activated, you will most likely be possessed by a male student."
Liu Xing said with a smile: "Although the description of this character card is to randomly select an NPC to possess, there are actually several hidden conditions. For example, you cannot possess an NPC that is hostile to you, nor can you possess an NPC that is hostile to you.
The NPC that is about to die or lose the ability to move, and then the target NPC you possess will be as similar to you as possible in all aspects. In other words, the best target you possess now is a male middle school student of the same age and build as you.
, of course, if not, the conditions will be relaxed, which will allow you to get into the role faster."
"Ah, it turns out that this character card has so many details. I thought it could just possess an NPC." Kudo Ichiro also said with a smile: "Then there is another problem, that is, if I think a certain NPC
The NPC is very good, and if it suits me well, then can I find a chance to be in the same room with him, away from other NPCs, and then tear up the card myself, so can I directly possess him?"
good idea.
Regarding the operation mentioned by Ichiro Kudo, Liu Xing actually thought about its feasibility, because Liu Xing also used this operation that seemed to have a good chance to obtain a favorite character card, and changed the character card of this character card.
"Random" becomes inevitable.
However, Liu Xing finally chose to give up.
"Well, I think you'd better not think too much, because although this kind of operation seems very feasible, it is actually very difficult to achieve. First of all, unless it is a large-scale module with a certain time span, otherwise
Your range of action in the module is only so large, and there is no possibility that there are no other NPCs around you. Moreover, the NPCs you can come into contact with have been selected in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall.
It’s rare that such a powerful NPC appears.”
Liu Xing said very seriously: "Let's take my experience as an example. I have encountered several NPCs that can be called humanoid mythical creatures, but they are either my enemies or those with high status.
It is basically impossible for someone to be in the same room with me, and it is unlikely that there are no other NPCs around; and even if you can really succeed in possessing me, you will have to face a very serious problem, that is
Most of the modules you participate in in the future will be related to this NPC’s past, so the difficulty will naturally increase. After all, among these powerful NPCs, which one’s past will be ordinary?”
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Kudo Ichiro nodded quickly and said: "I see, then I'd better stop thinking about it and just use this character card as a backup."
Liu Xing showed a "cowardly" expression and continued: "In the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, unless it is a last resort, don't think about reviving your life, just pass the module safely.
is the right path, but you still have to take a gamble at some point, because there is no real stability in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, and there is no room for you to be a salty fish, so you have to find ways to improve yourself.
ability to avoid becoming cannon fodder in a certain activity.”
At this time, Fujiwara Ichiro and others also knew that Liu Xing was trying to impress him, so they immediately nodded their heads in a respectful manner.
Liu Xing also enjoyed this state of supporting the younger generation, so he said with a smile: "Since you can get such a special character card, it means that you are still a talented person, and you may be able to enter the "One in a Thousand" category in the future.
Cthulhu area, but I have to remind you now that the Cthulhu Run game lobby is different from other games. The gap between the so-called ordinary players and talented players is almost zero, because Cthulhu Run
The core of the group game lobby is two words - luck, so you may fail a key decision due to bad luck, and then you will be carried away directly. "
"Well, when I got that character card, I thought I would be the chosen one. But the kp of the module just threw cold water on my face, which made me understand my position clearly."
Ichiro Kudo glanced at his phone and continued: "It's only ten o'clock in the evening, so Brother Meteor, can you teach us newbies more about the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, so that we can walk less
Detours, we will help you if there is a chance in the future."
One thing is that Liu Xing is now beginning to wonder if Kudo Ichiro lied to him, because Kudo Ichiro said that he was also a middle school student in the real world, but he is not acting like it at all now.
At this time, Itoga, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Brother Ryusei, Kudo's father was in a club, so he has been exposed to it since he was a child and is very good at dealing with outsiders. That's why you don't think he is a
Ordinary middle school student."
"Oh, that's it, but brother Ito, you are not simple either. You can actually analyze my thoughts just from my expression." Liu Xing said with a smile.
Itoga touched his head a little shyly, "Well, I actually like to read some messy extracurricular books since I was a child, so I have read a lot of books about micro-expressions, cold reading, etc., so I can still know who you are, Brother Meteor."
What are you thinking about?"
Liu Xing nodded, touched his chin and said: "It seems that in order to maintain my sense of mystery and not be seen through by you juniors, I still have to put on a poker face."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he felt another slight vibration coming from the ground.
"Another earthquake." Kudo Ichiro frowned and said, "Today alone, there have been more than ten earthquakes. Although the earthquakes were not strong, they always make people feel a little worried, because no one knows
I know if this is a sign of a major earthquake; fortunately, our building is only three stories high, so as long as it doesn't hit any vital parts, it should be fine. Besides, we are still on the first floor. If something feels wrong, run away quickly.
Just go out."
Liu Xing always felt that Ichiro Kudo was setting a huge flag.
"One thing to say is that there are no natural disasters in the true sense in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, because in the final analysis these natural disasters still serve the modules, so these natural disasters are actually caused by 'human beings'.
Of course, the people here may not be human. For example, there is a creature called the Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect that can create earthquakes, or earthquakes are its attack method. Then there is also a mythical creature called Mi.Ge that uses earthquake mining machines to
Carry out mining.”
At this point, Liu Xing's expression became serious, "I know you entered the Cthulhu Run game hall by mistake. You didn't know much about the Cthulhu Myth or the Cthulhu Run game before.
More, but I have to tell you clearly that if you want to leave the Cthulhu Run Game Hall alive, you have to go through at least a dozen modules, and this is only if you have not made any purchases in the mall before you can save enough.
Points; but I can tell you clearly that some things must be purchased, otherwise you will be restricted everywhere in the subsequent modules."
"And as the level of the area you are in becomes higher and higher, the difficulty of the modules you experience will also increase in all aspects, and at the same time, it will have high requirements on your knowledge reserves about the Cthulhu Myth and Cthulhu Running Games.
, for example, there will be some relatively unpopular nouns, such as the name of a third-tier old ruler. If you know the general situation of this old ruler, you can clear the module better, so I suggest you reply
After arriving in the real world, I will go to supplement my knowledge about the Cthulhu Mythos and the Cthulhu Running Game.”
"I see."
Kudo Ichiro and the other three immediately answered seriously.
Then, Fujiwara-san couldn't help but ask: "Brother Meteor, can you be our big brother? From now on, we will follow you in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall."
Liu Xing laughed, shook his head and said: "How is that possible? We are not players in the same area, and I just said that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall is fundamentally different from other games, and it is impossible to exist.
The possibility of a large player bringing a small one, or in other words, a large player bringing a small one is a gainless behavior for both parties. After all, in the module I am experiencing now, I can choose any minion from the enemy and put it there.
As the BOSS in your module, you are likely to be affected by unknown AOE."
Liu Xing took out his pistol again and said: "Take this pistol as an example. Holding it in my hand is not even self-defense. At best, it can be said to be emboldening, because this pistol is also
You can use it to fight mobs, and you will lose directly when facing those elite monsters; and the Cthulhu Run Game Hall secretly prohibits fishing, if you are in a state of doing nothing for a long time in a module
, then the Cthulhu Run game lobby will arrange a super difficult single-player module for you, and you have to go."
"Well, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Kudo Ichiro said awkwardly.
Just when Liu Xing was about to "educate" the three newbies in front of him, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from the ground, making him unable to stabilize his body.
Big earthquake!
Liu Xing reacted immediately, stood up quickly and said: "Run!"
At this time, Kudo Ichiro and the other three also reacted quickly and immediately stood up and ran towards the door.
Fortunately, Liu Xing and others lived in the classroom on the first floor, and the door was open for ventilation, so they quickly stumbled out of the classroom, and many people also ran out of several surrounding classrooms.
Then, the teaching building collapsed!
Although this was only a three-story building, the noise when it collapsed was not small. Fortunately, the building did not collapse in the direction of the playground where Liu Xing and others were, so Liu Xing was only lifted up.
The smoke and dust made it look gray.
"Ichiro Kudo, you are really a crow's mouth. You just said there would be a big earthquake, but now the earthquake has really come." Fujiwarayama said with lingering fear: "This must be at least a magnitude 7 earthquake, right?"
As a Chengdu native who experienced the 512 earthquake, Liu Xing also agreed with Mount Fujiwara's judgment on the magnitude, but Liu Xing still felt that this earthquake was not a natural disaster.
The reason is very simple. This earthquake still only lasted about ten seconds, while the more than ten recent earthquakes have basically lasted this long.
In general, the higher the magnitude of an earthquake, the longer its duration, because the higher the magnitude, the more energy is released by the earthquake, so the released energy also needs a certain amount of time.
, so many high-magnitude earthquakes last more than one minute. For example, the 512 earthquake lasted for two minutes, and the Japanese earthquake that triggered tsunamis in the past few years was close to three minutes. As for the highest magnitude on record,
——The major earthquake in Chile lasted about six minutes.
So under normal circumstances, an earthquake of the magnitude just now is unlikely to end in ten seconds.
Therefore, Liu Xing still firmly believes in his previous judgment, that is, the continuous earthquakes are all "man-made", and nine out of ten are related to Mi. Ge's earthquake mining machine. The reason is that only Mi. Ge's earthquakes
The mining machine may start up every once in a while.
"Go and save people quickly, someone is buried in the building."
Just when Liu Xing was thinking about how the earthquake happened, Fujiwara Sho's voice suddenly sounded.
