Because the business of noodle shops is generally not good in the afternoon, and they often cannot sell one noodle in an afternoon, so Gong Hao simply closed the noodle shop and took Liu Xing to a teahouse to sit down.
After complaining about his previous 996 company, Gong Hao asked curiously: "Liu Xing, aren't you a medical student? You should have passed the exam to become a practicing doctor by now, right? So you are planning to open a clinic on your own?"
?Or go to work in the hospital?"
Liu Xing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have given up medicine to pursue literature now, because young doctors these days are really sad. They can't get much salary in the hospital, and they still have to do a lot of things. The most important thing is
Sometimes we have to shoulder the burden of life, so now I go to a certain place to write novels. The monthly income is pretty good, and I only spend a few hours a day on it. The rest of my time is free.
It’s active.”
Because he joined the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, it is impossible for Liu Xing to have time to engage in some full-time occupations. Of course, Liu Xing would not go to work even if he had time. After all, you have already begun to risk your life, so why should you work as a social worker?
Where are the animals?
However, Liu Xing couldn't tell his parents, relatives and friends that he was an unemployed vagrant, so Liu Xing thought of giving himself the identity of an online novel author... Liu Xing still remembers a funny picture on the Internet -
—All young people in their twenties who do not have a serious career will feel that they are a writer.
"Oh, that is indeed quite free. You have enough time to make your own arrangements." Gong Hao sighed, shook his head and said: "To be honest, I don't know what I was thinking at the time, and I suddenly decided
I opened my own business and became my own boss, and I also chose noodle restaurants, a business that is everywhere. You must know that the gross profit margin of this catering industry is indeed very high, but I leave early and come back late every day. I stand there for several hours, and I have to stand in the steaming room.
In front of the big pot, I really feel that one day I will want to bury myself in the pot."
Liu Xing sighed, shrugged and said, "Actually, I'm also curious about why you opened a noodle shop. Some of my classmates and friends would choose to join the famous Milk Tea or Grandma's Pork Ribs if they wanted to engage in the catering industry.
This way, it will either bring its own customer flow, or it will require less store space, and stocking up will be much more convenient."
Gong Hao touched the back of his head and said: "Liu Xing, you probably haven't seen the menu of my noodle shop before, right? In fact, my noodle shop specializes in pasta from the three provinces of the East, which is cold noodles, gnocchi, etc., plus
It specializes in dumplings, so the business is pretty good. After all, other noodle restaurants in the county are too the same."
Liu Xing looked at Gong Hao in surprise, because Liu Xing didn't expect that Gong Hao could cook pasta from Dongsan Province, "Ah, I remember Gong Hao, you didn't go to university in Dongsan Province, right? How come you suddenly know how to cook these things?"
Where are the noodles from the three provinces?”
Gong Hao smiled and showed an expression recalling the past, "Actually, I learned it from a college roommate of mine, because he is from the three eastern provinces, and how can I put it, he is very enthusiastic in dealing with people, but
He had a special habit of not liking to eat out, so he prepared pots and pans in his dormitory on the first day of school, and cooked his own meals in the dormitory every day, the most common of which was all kinds of pasta.
So after so many years of experience, I learned some simple pasta making methods."
"Oh, it seems that your dormitory is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. There is actually a pastry master hidden in it." Liu Xing said with a smile.
Gong Hao nodded, and then showed a regretful expression, "Actually, I had a good relationship with him, but suddenly one day he mysteriously disappeared. I still remember that he went back to the dormitory with us, and then went to fight
The hot water ran out, but he never came back, and even the surveillance cameras didn't capture how he disappeared from the dormitory building."
Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown, because the person Gong Hao mentioned seemed a bit "familiar" to Liu Xing, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is this your roommate's surname Ding?"
"Huh? Liu Xing, do you know him too?" Gong Hao said with a surprised look on his face.
"Well, I have a friend named Ding who is also from the three eastern provinces. His younger brother is about the same age as us. He suddenly disappeared when he was in college, and there has been no news since."
Liu Xing is now basically certain that Gong Hao's roommate is most likely the younger brother of "Ding Kun".
From the current situation, Liu Xing feels that "Ding Kun"'s younger brother should be a fictional character, because Ding Kun has never mentioned that he really has such a younger brother in the real world, so this should also be a Cthulhu running game.
Such a "person" was brought out by Hall when he assimilated into the real world.
But what frightens Liu Xing the most now is that in just half a day, he met two people who were affected by the Cthulhu Run Team game lobby, as well as a player. They were more or less...
Have a certain connection with yourself.
No matter what angle you look at, this is not good news, because Liu Xing really didn’t expect that his relatives and friends in the real world would be threatened by the Cthulhu Game Hall unknowingly.
, but Liu Xing is still not sure whether this is a coincidence or inevitable.
If this is all a coincidence, it means that the influence of the Cthulhu Game Hall in the real world has become more and more important, because to use a not so nice analogy - when you see a cockroach at home
, then there may be more cockroaches hiding in the dark; the reality is also the same. Now Liu Xing has only discovered a few people who have been affected by the Cthulhu Run Team game lobby, but in fact there may have been a large number of ordinary people.
It has become a non-staff NPC in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall!
So Liu Xing was very worried that when he was working on a certain module, he would see his parents suddenly appear in front of him... Of course, in fact, when he saw Tian Qing before, Liu Xing had guessed that there would be
Such a possibility.
So if this is inevitable, that is, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall gives priority to affecting his relatives and friends, Liu Xing will feel even more terrible, because this means that Liu Xing's relatives and friends are already in danger.
, and their lives and safety are in the hands of a group of players who are not reliable enough.
"Liu Xing, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Liu Xing suddenly fall into silence, Gong Hao couldn't help but said: "If nothing else, I should have met your friend, so I have told him everything I know, including Ding Hai
News about possible online dating.”
"Online dating?"
Gong Hao saw that Liu Xing was immediately interested, so he smiled and said: "That's it. A few days before Ding Hai disappeared, I found that Ding Hai suddenly became obsessed with his mobile phone. You know how Ding Hai usually doesn't leave his phone.
Hai doesn't like playing with mobile phones very much. If he leaves the dormitory for a short time, for example, when he goes to get hot water or play basketball, he won't take his mobile phone with him. Therefore, my other roommates and I think that he is probably dating online, and he is very interested in it.
I don’t deny this; but I heard that Ding Hai’s brother applied to restore various app information related to Ding Hai, but it turned out that he had no close contacts with anyone.”
Here is a little knowledge, that is, when you use data to access the Internet, every operation you perform will be fed back to the backend of your operator. Even if you choose incognito browsing when using the browser, it will still be reported to the operator.
Leave a record, so you have to think twice before choosing to insist on visiting.
As for Ding Hai's situation, Liu Xing immediately suspected whether he had joined the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, but after thinking about it, Liu Xing discovered a blind spot, that is, as an NPC, "Ding Hai" should not be
It may be related to the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby.
Therefore, the disappearance of "Ding Hai" should be related to a certain secret church, and there is a high possibility that he is not dead yet. After all, Ding Kun will definitely trigger a module related to "Ding Hai" to solve this matter.
matter.
In order not to implicate Gong Hao's participation in the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby module, Liu Xing began to change the topic and began to talk about the past when he was young and several other relatives of the same age.
Fortunately, none of these relatives had anything to do with them, and were related to some secret church or mythical creatures... This saves Liu Xing the effort of exterminating relatives out of righteousness.
Just when Liu Xing and Gong Hao were chatting about playing with artillery in their hometown when they were children and almost setting fire to the mountain, Liu Xing received a call from his father - they had returned to the county town.
So after saying goodbye to Gong Hao, Liu Xing got into the car driven by his parents... It didn't take long before Liu Xing began to regret it, because Liu Xing found that his parents started talking about important events in his life again.
Fortunately, Liu Xing has reunited with Tian Qing, so he has finally blocked his parents' idea of letting him go on a blind date, but he has to take Tian Qing back to see them recently.
Then, Liu Xing discovered that his parents had abandoned him and began to think about where to get married and how many tables to invite for the wedding...
What else can Liu Xing say now? He can only put on his headphones silently and think about life.
No, I should be thinking about why the mall in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall started selling "set" props.
At the beginning, Liu Xing thought this was nothing. These "set" props were just to give players the opportunity to experience what it was like to become a master in a certain field in the real world. However, the more Liu Xing thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Because Ao Guanhai told Liu Xing before that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will not sell such props in the mall, because these "set" props will not be of any help to players in the module; not to mention Cthulhu
The game world created by the team game lobby is already extremely real, so it is possible to create a similar prop for players to use in the module, but this prop cannot be used during critical judgments.
Therefore, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall’s listing of “set” props must have its own unique idea. For example, the Cthulhu Running Game Hall wants to use this to allow certain players to become famous in the real world and become a generational master!
Thinking of this, Liu Xing searched for relevant information and found that a group of geniuses have indeed emerged in many fields recently. They are generally young, but their technical level in this field has reached the top. The most important thing is
These geniuses all claim that they are self-taught, and some even say that they have "just been exposed to this industry for a few days."
Obviously, there is a high possibility that these so-called geniuses bought the corresponding type of "suit", and then started to stand up and express themselves with the mentality that they could not walk at night.
Although this has no impact on everything in the module, it can indeed satisfy the vanity of some players, and it can also allow these players to leave their names in history, even if they die in the Cthulhu Run game lobby in the future.
, in the real world, they can also get the title of "the envied talents".
But for the Cthulhu Run game lobby, these players are nothing more than invisible billboards, and the influence of these players in the real world far exceeds that of other ordinary players. This means that
If the Cthulhu Run Game Hall uses these players as a breakthrough to assimilate the real world, then the efficiency will be twice the result with half the effort.
After all, the players who can spend a full 1,000 points to satisfy their vanity are most likely from the Hounds of Tindalos area. After all, players in the Shoggoth area and the Ghoul area can't scrape so much spare money, and they don't dare to take it.
Use these life-saving points to buy some useless luxuries.
As for the players in the Cthulhu area, they are even more disdainful to buy these "set" props, because they may stay in the Cthulhu Run game lobby for 300 days a year, so they still have time to spend in the real world.
What about pretending to be a boss? What’s more, they have more and better props at their disposal to make themselves bosses in the real world.
As a senior player in the Hounds of Tindalos area, Liu Xing can feel that most of the modules he participated in in this area are plots that can change the pattern of one party. If this is reflected in the real world,
It will definitely be on CCTV at 7pm.
Therefore, these "set" props launched in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall are, in Liu Xing's view, just for laying mines in the real world. Waiting for the right time to detonate these mines, a certain city can be involved in Cthulhu.
In the module plot of the running game lobby.
It's a bit troublesome.
Liu Xing sighed silently, knowing that even if he thought too much now, there was nothing he could do to change the reality... Moreover, this move in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall was just a catalyst.
