"As a player, we can get all kinds of information that NPCs don't know. For example, the name of this martial arts module is something that NPCs don't know, so they won't realize that the martial arts masters will be the protagonists of this drama.
, the new Dragon Emperor and their sons are just foils."
Liu Xing looked at Alice and said seriously: "Alice, this is the first time you have left the original parallel world, so I am worried about whether you can adapt to the process of changing from NPC to player? If you just followed me
If you keep thinking about it, then you have been tricked because you have not adapted to your identity as a player and have not thought about problems outside of the role you play. But fortunately, you have now realized that you are
A player, not an NPC."
Alice nodded and replied with a wry smile: "Yes, if you hadn't reminded me like this, Liu Xing, I really wouldn't have realized that I was already a player, because before that I had already accepted that I was Liang Waner's maid,
So the way of thinking about problems is indeed similar to when I was an NPC before...according to some actors, this must be too involved in the drama, right?"
"That's right."
Liu Xing sighed and said: "Actually, we players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby are also pursuing the realm of drama, because the character cards we need to play may be somewhat different from our original personalities. For example, I am in
In the real world, I am an ordinary person and have never encountered any major events. As a result, I encountered all kinds of strange things in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, as well as major events such as the Battle of Gongwu, not to mention that I also
There are other character cards.”
"Although most of the time, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall does not have high requirements for players' acting skills, as long as it does not seriously conflict with the character card settings, but if the acting skills are excellent, you can still get some
Advantages include being able to get along with NPCs faster; however, it is not a good thing to get too involved in the game. After all, our lives are at stake in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, so normal players will not play in the Cthulhu Run game.
Stayed in the game lobby for too long.”
"For example, after Zhang Jingxu and I have completed a module, unless there are some special reasons, we will wait until the last day to start a new module. Of course, now we are both Cthulhu
Players in the area, so there is no longer a period of time before they have to complete the requirements of the module. In theory, they can stay in the real world for a long time... But this is actually not realistic, because our character cards
You might join the module on your own, and then disappear inexplicably."
"Going back to the previous topic, if you get too involved in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, you may be very uncomfortable when you return to the real world. After all, there are no mythical creatures in the real world, so I
I have heard before that some players did a lot of scandalous things after returning to the real world because they were too involved in the game; but this is considered a good thing, because some players directly gave up their lives. I miss you Alice.
You may also have read the player rules of the Cthulhu Run game lobby, which mentions that players are not allowed to mention the Cthulhu Run game lobby to unrelated people."
"Of course, most players who are too deeply involved in the game actually can't tell what is the real world and what is the module of the Cthulhu Run game lobby. Therefore, if they are not ripped off, they will not be able to distinguish in the real world.
The best destination may be a certain hospital, and that is indeed the case. A friend of my friend is already living there; so Alice, your situation is very special, because you have been an NPC not long ago, and
After becoming a player, your life actually hasn't changed much."
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Alice nodded and said: "Yes, I also feel that after becoming a player, my life is actually the same as before. I still have what I should eat, sleep where I should, and in the social circle.
There haven't been any big changes for these people. At most, when I participated in the module with Liu Xing and you, I could occasionally pass the judgment once or twice... However, I didn't do it like Liu Xing and you.
You can get general information about the module before starting the module, and there is no way to directly change your belongings when the module starts.”
At the beginning of the module, players can change their belongings in advance, put some props purchased in the mall into the inventory of the character card, or transfer a certain prop from the character card to the "warehouse" to avoid this problem.
Items may be lost or damaged in this mod.
Of course, players can also transfer a prop from one character card to another character card, or simply send it to the real world, but both operations will be subject to certain restrictions, because some props are bound
It is impossible to complete the above operations with certain items. For example, the limited gift packs sold in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall during certain festivals, some fixed props in them can only be used by certain character cards.
But having said that, it seems that Liu Xing has never used the function of changing props before the start of the module, because Liu Xing does not have many props that must be carried with him; and before the start of the module,
Liu Xing and others did not extract much information from the module introduction. They only knew what kind of place they might go to, so if the place was not in a harsh environment, there was no need to change the props on the character card.
.
What's more, there is a very special restriction on changing props, that is, the prop must be portable. After all, no one would carry a big cauldron with them everywhere, even if the cauldron can produce various ingredients out of thin air.
.
This is also the reason why Liu Xing did not buy this big cauldron in the mall, because this thing can only be placed somewhere in the module, so its practicality is very average. After all, if this big cauldron is placed at home
If so, then the ingredients conjured out of thin air may not be to your taste, so you might as well go to the market and buy them yourself; and if you are in the wild, this big cauldron can solve the food problem, but it cannot be done by just a few people.
Take it with you wherever you go.
So when Liu Xing and others discussed what props they could take away from the martial arts module this time, they all gave up on those large props that seemed powerful but were inconvenient to carry, such as the red cannon.
Yes, the red cannon and musket have appeared in this martial arts module, but the power of the red cannon is not as powerful as the punch of some first-class masters, and the hit rate and damage of the musket are even worse than those of Shimen
Outer disciples are very powerful when thrown casually, so these guns and cannons are almost worthless in the New Dragon Empire. They are tasteless and it is a pity to abandon them. Therefore, only some cities near the water will install a few red cannons.
To deal with large ships, the musket has become an advanced version of the shotgun in the hands of some people who do not know martial arts.
For example, Gongzi Ying had a finely crafted musket in his hand. It was a gift he received on his birthday. However, he put it aside after only using it a few times because the musket was not as useful as a crossbow when hunting.
, but this musket still looks quite beautiful, and it also gives people an unknown feeling of power, so when Young Master Ying came to Tianshui Town this time, he also deliberately brought this musket.
Then, Yin En borrowed this musket for a few days to play with. The reason why Yin En did this was because Huo Zijun and others planned to mass-produce this musket to make up for Tianshui Town's lack of combat effectiveness. After all,
In Tianshui Town today, except for those brought by Young Master Ying, there is no one who can fight.
As a result, the plan to reproduce the smoothbore gun did not go smoothly, because the craftsmanship requirements for the smoothbore gun were still very high. Just making a barrel was troublesome enough, and the problem of lack of gunpowder had not been solved, so Liu Xing
I guess this plan may not be finished.
"I will learn to change my way of thinking in the past two days and become more like a player."
Alice looked at Liu Xing and said seriously: "But I feel that although I have become a player, the problem is that I can only be regarded as half a player! Because Liu Xing, you can return to the real world, and my reality
The world is the parallel world in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, so I either stay where I am or go to other parallel worlds... I have no interest in going to other parallel worlds. After all, this is the only one I have now.
A character card, if something happens in other parallel worlds, wouldn’t I be gone?”
"Ah? Alice, you should have points to buy new character cards, right?" Liu Xing asked doubtfully.
In Liu Xing's opinion, Alice and her group have already participated in several modules, so she should have accumulated a lot of points and can buy some good character cards.
"I don't have other character cards yet, because I have never left my real world."
Alice shrugged and said: "Didn't I just say that after I became a player, I didn't change much in my life. At most, after Liu Xing and you opened the module, I secretly provided you with some
Help; but to be honest, this is no different from when I was an NPC before, that is, I can see the result of the judgment."
Liu Xing thought about it and felt that what Alice said seemed to make sense, because as long as he thought about it from his perspective, Liu Xing also felt that the gap between players and NPCs was mainly reflected in the word "thinking". As for what they did,
In fact, there is not much difference. After all, in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, players must abide by the rules, and their behavior cannot be much different from NPCs.
So if Liu Xing is asked to play an NPC, then Liu Xing feels that there is really nothing he needs to change. As long as he does not take the initiative to make any judgments, he will be done. At most, he can add one more thing - don't think about standing out, follow other NPCs and
The player just takes action.
"It seems that Liu Xing, you have understood why I haven't been to the mall, right? Because I have become accustomed to the life of NPC, so after Liu Xing and you left the module, I will still live an ordinary life as before. What should I do?
Just do whatever you want, but in the recent period, that is, after we came to Miskatonic University, I like to go to the school library to read books, because I can feel that doing so can improve my strength. For example, I
I learned a spell two days ago."
As Alice spoke, she placed the water glass on her palm, and then the wooden water glass suddenly ignited.
This not only shocked Liu Xing, but even Alice, the instigator, was so frightened that she threw her water glass.
Fortunately, the water cup contained a lot of water, so after being thrown out, the newly ignited flames were immediately extinguished.
"What is going on? How can I use this spell?"
Alice looked at Liu Xing with a puzzled look, and Liu Xing looked even more confused, because Liu Xing didn't know why Alice could do this.
Although in this martial arts module, there are many martial arts masters who can do this, they all use internal force to heat the wood, and then let the temperature of the wood reach a critical point and it will automatically ignite, just like in
In hot summers, woods in some dry areas will suddenly spontaneously combust.
However, Liu Xing can be sure that the character card Alice is using now, although it can be used to some extent under Liang Waner's training, may be lacking in internal strength.
So how did Alice do all this?
Looking at Liu Xing who was full of doubts, Alice took the initiative and said: "I just tried to recite the spell I learned before silently, and it turned out like this just after I recited it, but I can be sure that this character of mine
Ka does not know this spell, or she has never been exposed to the so-called spell at all, so what is going on?"
Spell?
Liu Xing had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood what was going on. "So, it seems that the spells we learned in other parallel worlds can also be used in this martial arts module, because these two worlds
The operating rules are actually the same. After all, they are all related to the Cthulhu Running Game Hall! According to our previous guesses, the world you are in, Alice, will directly change after being assimilated by the Cthulhu Running Game Hall.
It becomes a string of code! And this string of code cannot conflict with other codes to avoid bugs!”
"This is like a certain chess and card game hall in the real world. In order to allow players to play chess, Go and poker and mahjong at the same time, and use the same game currency to exchange for points in various games, it must
The codes of these different games must not conflict, lest a bug in one game cause the entire game hall to collapse!"
