It was getting late, so Liu Xing chatted with Tian Qing for a while after washing up, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
I don’t know if it was because he experienced too many things during the day. In short, Liu Xing fell asleep in one second and lost consciousness in an instant.
As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, Liu Xing realized that it was already dawn.
Um?
Liu Xing sat up with some doubts, because at the last moment before losing consciousness, he thought he could enter the dreamland immediately and dreamed of some strange things, but then he suddenly fell asleep and woke up.
Or is this just a dream?
Liu Xing took out his mobile phone and took a look at it, then confirmed that he was awake because he could open the APP in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall.
A bit inexplicably disappointed.
Liu Xing sighed, got up and went to the toilet, then lay down on the sofa again, and began to think about a very important question, that is, what can he do today?
boring.
So let’s go to the Cthulhu Run game lobby first?
Thinking of this, Liu Xing sighed again and entered the Cthulhu Running Group game hall alone.
America, Miskatonic University.
When Liu Xing came back to his senses, he found that he was eating with Zhang Jingxu and others in the cafeteria. Of course, Zhang Jingxu and others here were all in NPC status.
One thing to say is that this is the first time Liu Xing has met "Zhang Jingxu" and others in NPC state, so for a while he really didn't know how to communicate with them because he really didn't know their true personalities.
Although these initial character cards are created by the Cthulhu Run game lobby according to the general situation of the player, due to various special circumstances there will still be some differences from the player himself, so Liu Xing is a little worried about himself
It aroused their doubts as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hey, have you heard that something happened again in the Kingdom of Earthsea? The great chief who just came up was replaced by an assassin who ran out of nowhere before his butt was warmed up. Now the Kingdom of Earthsea can only
Go ahead and choose a new warchief."
Yin En took a sip of coke and continued: "As expected, the little demon in the temple is Feng Da, and there are so many Chi Qian, but this has nothing to do with us, because the ruins have been almost dealt with, and those who have just been sent away are sent away.
The lockdown has just started, and not much has happened in recent times; but Ryuzaki called me yesterday and said that his father had gathered all the things, so in order to thank us for helping in Earthsea Country
I'm busy, and I want to arrange for us to go to his house for a few days, and pick up some thank you gifts by the way."
"Oh? By the way, where does the Ryuzaki family live? We have nothing to do recently, so why not go to Ryuzaki's house for two days? And I'm also very curious..."
Before Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Lu Tianya suddenly slapped Zhang Jingxu on the shoulder, "If you have time, please come back to Bingcheng with me. My parents have gone back recently due to work reasons, so I'm wondering
Then we should go back to meet them and your parents, so that we can officially be together."
As soon as Lu Tianya said this, everyone present smiled knowingly.
But at this time, Liu Xing suddenly realized a problem, that is, whether Lu Tianya is a player or an NPC, she is not a student of Miskatonic University, so why is she eating in the cafeteria with her group now?
You must know that NPCs such as Sawada Yaon are not present.
Could it be that because Lu Tianya became a player again, the Cthulhu Game Hall directly "accommodated" her and became a student at Miskatonic University?
interesting.
"Okay, there's nothing going on these two days anyway, so I'll accompany you home to meet your parents."
Zhang Jingxu sighed and said to Liu Xing and others solemnly: "If I don't send you a message in two days, it means that I am gone. Then you should stop thinking about me."
"Remember to bring me some red sausage, I haven't had one in years."
Ding Kun stretched out, put down the tableware and said: "This Miskatonic University is one of the best universities in the world, but the taste of this cafeteria is almost the same as an ordinary restaurant outside. I'm sorry.
It’s something to look forward to.”
"That's because we came to an ordinary canteen, so the taste is just average."
Yin En suddenly became energetic and said: "I heard that Miskatonic University has a mysterious cafeteria. There are many foods made from mythical creatures in this cafeteria. However, it is not easy to enter this mysterious cafeteria.
After all, mythical creatures are not that easy to catch, let alone that delicious."
"Well, I think the biggest problem here is that many mythical creatures are intelligent creatures, even much smarter than us humans, so using them as ingredients is always a bit weird, right?" Tian Qing said seriously.
said.
"Yes, I don't feel any pressure if you ask me to eat pork or beef, but if you ask me to use chopsticks on a monkey or a gorilla, I will feel a little pressure, because I know that although the intelligence level of monkeys is not high,
Far inferior to us, but there is a clear gap between them and other animals, so I can't regard them as food... Of course, if I am in a very dangerous environment, then I will still eat anything."
Yin En shrugged and continued: "So this mysterious canteen also issued an announcement a long time ago, that is, they all handle these special ingredients with a research heart, and their purpose of doing so is also
Not to satisfy the appetite! To put it simply, the founder of the Mysterious Canteen was once a professor of occult science. He found that there are many ancient books that record the effects of the use of some mythical creatures. The best among them is our Chinese.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Liu Xing nodded, because there are many strange creatures recorded in "The Book of Mountains and Seas", and most of these creatures have been absorbed by the Cthulhu Game Hall and become new mythical creatures, but the most important thing is that these are recorded in
The mythical creatures in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" are generally not very powerful, so in the original text, many mythical creatures are mentioned to have the therapeutic effect of "what you eat is what you eat".
In short, these mythical creatures are truly high-end ingredients, because eating them can cure various diseases, and the medicine can cure them 100%.
"So the Mysterious Canteen wants to study the use value of these mythical creatures, especially those mythical creatures that are a little more powerful than ordinary creatures, but their intelligence level is still at the level of beasts. In theory, these mythical creatures can be domesticated into new creatures.
Domestic animals, because domesticating them can bring human living standards to a higher level! It can even make certain diseases a thing of the past! But the most important thing is that the Mysterious Canteen has conducted experiments on elixirs, but there are more than ten common formulas
All of them have been proven to have no effect, or in other words, they can only have the effect of high-end supplements, so the Mysterious Canteen has become what it is now."
Yin En pretended to be mysterious and continued: "Currently, dozens of mythical creatures have been raised at Miskatonic University. Of course, as I said before, these mythical creatures are animals with little intelligence but extraordinary abilities.
So if special students like us are willing, we can apply for a job as a breeder and gain the opportunity to enter the mysterious cafeteria; but I personally do not recommend that we do this, because these mythical creatures are really difficult to take care of.
If you can fight, forget it, as long as you are prepared, you will be fine, but some guys’ abilities are really hard to guard against!”
Yin En's words suddenly reminded Liu Xing of "The Cabin in the Woods". In that movie, a group of people took in various monsters and tried to manage them in an orderly manner, but in the end, one move affected the whole body.
, when a monster ran out, other monsters also left the cage that restrained them one after another for various reasons.
And Liu Xing also agrees with Yin En's last sentence, that is, no matter how destructive the mythical creature is, as long as you make corresponding defense preparations, its threat to you will be reduced infinitely; but when this mythical creature
When a creature has special abilities, you may be unable to guard against it at any time, because you don't know when it will attack you, and you don't know how to effectively defend against it.
This is a bit like various fighting games today. When new heroes are released, they will set some new mechanisms for them, instead of releasing a purely numerical hero! For example, Brother Cao Cong in a certain alliance has simple and crude skills.
The threshold for getting started is very low, and no matter how the version changes, players can use him against various heroes; but the skill settings of new heroes now make people feel headaches, and it is also more difficult to get started than those old heroes.
Much higher. The most important thing is that it is easy to kill everyone if you play well, and send out big daddies all the way if you play poorly.
Therefore, in Liu Xing's view, the mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby can also be divided into two types. One type is like ghouls and deep divers that rely entirely on combat power to defeat enemies, and the other type is
People like Konggui and Yisi rely on their racial talents to "assault" their enemies.
For ordinary humans, it is impossible to defeat these two types of mythical creatures, so there is no difference in the specifics; but for humans like Liu Xing who have two brushes, although the latter is definitely in a head-on battle situation,
It is impossible to beat the former, but if you let them start calmly and use their special abilities, it is not difficult to defeat the former.
So Liu Xing recalled the contents of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and found that if the monsters and beasts in it were adapted into mythical creatures by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, many of them would have "rule-level" abilities, such as some mythical creatures.
Once they appear, a great flood will occur, and some will cause wars to break out across the world, so in a sense, these mythical creatures can already stand alongside the Old Ones.
However, Liu Xing is still very curious about the taste of some mythical creatures in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" version, because it is mentioned in the original book that these mythical creatures are delicious.
"Oh, let's not even think about becoming breeders. We won't be able to get ahead in just a few years, and we will only stay at Miskatonic University for a year or two at most. After all, we are not really
Come and study.”
Ding Kun burped and continued: "By the way, the "Martial Arts Continent" we ordered at the board game store has arrived. This thing is really popular all over the world now. I watch various live broadcasts nowadays.
Platforms, even those where anchors are relatively economical, have 90% of the anchors on the entire homepage playing "Martial Arts Continent", and today's second-hand platforms are also full of information about exchanging chess pieces, so now if you can
If you use the best chess pieces, you can at least buy a well-decorated mansion in any city in the world!"
"Yes, I saw yesterday that a wealthy man spent several million to buy an intermediate chess piece. Although the value of this intermediate chess piece is only average, it is a different-colored version! The other chess pieces of the same type are all the same.
The main color is red, and it turns out to be purple!”
Yin En said with great interest: "The most important thing is that this board game company is really tough. No matter who you are, you can only buy ten boxes of chess pieces. After that, no matter what methods you use, you can no longer use it in your own name."
To buy more chess pieces, of course, those shady tricks can’t deceive the board game company; but if you buy their chess pieces from others, the board game company won’t say much, so proceed from
In a sense, it can be regarded as a transfer of profits to customers. I have to say that this board game company is really conscientious."
Liu Xing immediately became energetic when he saw the main action coming, because the chess pieces that would be revealed later would determine what his group should do in the next martial arts module.
So Liu Xing and others finished their lunch immediately, then left the cafeteria and headed to the board game store in front of the school.
But on the way, Tian Qing suddenly asked Liu Xing in a low voice: "Liu Xing, what's wrong with you now? You haven't said a word since you just started eating. This is not in line with your style."
Liu Xing looked at Tian Qing with some embarrassment, and could only make up a temporary reason, "Well, it's like this, I suddenly remembered something when I was eating, that is, Zhang Jingxu and Lu Tianya went back to meet their parents.
so..."
Before Liu Xing finished speaking, Tian Qing had already guessed what Liu Xing wanted to say, and interpreted the embarrassment on Liu Xing's face as shyness.
So Tian Qing blushed, nodded and said: "Since you said so, let's take some time to go back. It just so happens that my father's birthday will be in a few days."
Seeing this, Liu Xing hurriedly borrowed the donkey from Poxia, "Then let's go with Zhang Jingxu and the others. Then we will make an appointment to come back together, so that we can take care of them along the way."
