Chapter 941 The Successor of Ancient Martial Arts
Just when Liu Xing and Li Hanxing were looking at each other in silence, another young man walked into the convenience store.
When the young man saw Liu Xing and Li Hanxing confronting each other, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Li Hanxing, what is going on?"
Li Hanxing smiled and shook his head, pointed at Liu Xing and said, "It's okay, he's one of our own."
"So that's it. I was wondering why you suddenly started the secret room time." The young man looked at Liu Xing and said, "Hello, my name is Sun Huiwen, and I am Li Hanxing's partner."
At this time, Li Hanxing suddenly slapped his head, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing looked at the business card and found that it was very simple. Apart from Li Hanxing's name and phone number, there was only one company name - Bao Solution Company.
This doesn't look like a regular company.
However, Liu Xing guessed the identities of Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen.
"Are you mercenaries?" Liu Xing got straight to the point.
Sun Huiwen nodded and said: "Yes, our identity is mercenaries. My friend, if you need us to solve something, just call this phone number. We will arrive at the scene as soon as possible, but our
The identity has been approved by the Cthulhu Runner Game Hall, so as long as you can pay enough, we can directly hack into your module and work for you."
Sure enough, the situation of these two people was the same as that of Master Zixuan.
In the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, in addition to criminal thieves like Shi Zixuan, there is another profession that can escape the restrictions of the module, and that is mercenaries like Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, because they are actually related to Shi Zixuan
They can accept employment from other players or NPCs, and if players want to hire them, they must already be in the module, so Li Hanxing and Li Hanxing definitely need the approval of the Cthulhu Runner game lobby before they can enter at will.
However, it is not easy to become a mercenary recognized by the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, because mercenaries in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall need to master a large number of professional skills and pass many difficult exam modules, so in
In Liu Xing's impression, the mercenaries in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall can be counted with one hand, and all of them are famous. Therefore, the names Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen are not in Liu Xing's impression.
Li Hanxing saw the confusion in Liu Xing's eyes, so he said with a smile: "Actually, we passed all the assessments in the Cthulhu Running Team game hall before the Battle of Gongwu and became a recognized mercenary.
We rushed to the island country without stopping; however, those of us who are mercenaries will have a new mechanism, which can be understood as the reputation value in other games. Each region and country is calculated separately, so the scope of our previous activities
It's in the Middle East, so our reputation is only relatively high in the Middle East."
"After arriving in the island country, we found that our reputation in the island country was almost zero, because we did not know the situation in the Middle East very well, but there were too many famous mercenary organizations in the Middle East, like
Self-employed people like us doing odd jobs are actually very unpopular, so we haven’t received any serious business from players since we came to the island country. At most, we just helped NPCs get rid of the gangsters nearby. As for us now
I'm also doing a job, which is to help clean up this convenience store clerk."
Liu Xing nodded. Although he had not come into contact with other mercenary players before, Liu Xing had also heard some news about mercenary players. For example, mercenary players can accept tasks given by players and NPCs at the same time, but players
There is no difference in priority between tasks issued by NPC, so mercenary players cannot ignore the tasks previously assigned to them by NPC for the tasks issued by players.
However, after the mercenary player accepts the task posted by the player, the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will not arrange the task posted by the NPC for the mercenary player.
Finally, and most importantly, the NPC missions released to mercenary players in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall are very interesting and are determined based on their reputation in their current location. Therefore, when the reputation of mercenary players is relatively low, mercenary players
The NPC tasks you can receive are quite bizarre, such as finding a lost cat or dog, helping a truck driver deliver a load of goods safely to the destination, or even pretending to be a bodyguard to help someone load a large sum of money.
However, no matter whether the tasks issued by these NPCs seem weird at first, they will get down to business in the end, arranging one or two mythical creatures to fight with mercenary players, such as a lost cat or dog being captured by a ghoul.
As a pet, the truck bumped into a passing Shoggoth while driving. As for someone who pretended to be rich, it was originally to attract a girl, but it turned out that the girl was a deep diver hybrid.
So Liu Xing is actually very curious now about what Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen will encounter in this operation to teach the convenience store clerk. Could it be that the clerk who was locked in the lounge just now was a mythical creature?
It doesn't look like it either.
Just when Liu Xing was thinking about the problem, the door of the lounge was suddenly smashed and banged from the inside.
After Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen looked at each other, they took out their respective weapons from under the cashier.
Among them, Li Hanxing held two short-pointed spears, while Sun Huiwen held a ring-headed knife.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were actually using cold weapons.
It seems that both of them are masters of close combat.
No matter how good your kung fu is, you can knock him down with one shot.
This sentence is no joke, because with the emergence of hot weapons, the decline of cold weapons has become inevitable, because under normal circumstances, hot weapons occupy the distance advantage, and can instantly cover an area in a continuous burst of fire.
area, the most important thing is that the power of hot weapons is no worse than cold weapons.
Therefore, unless you can get close, cold weapons are like younger brothers when facing hot weapons. Therefore, even if "Ishikawa Rei"'s swordsmanship has reached the world's first-class level, he still prefers to use firearms when fighting.
Therefore, Liu Xing had to admire Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen for daring to use cold weapons in a place like the Middle East where bullets were flying everywhere.
"Liu Xing, just watch and it will be fine. We will handle these minor problems." Li Hanxing said confidently.
At this moment, the lounge door was knocked open, and a kappa appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes.
Kappa are a traditional mythical creature in the island country. They actually look similar to deep divers, but they have a body tissue on their heads that is similar to a bath ring, which allows the kappa to store water on its head. As long as the kappa's head is
If the water above disappears, then the kappa is dead.
Judging from the store clerk uniform on this kappa, it should be the store clerk just now.
The kappa looked at Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen with an angry look, and rushed over to them without hesitation.
However, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen didn't panic. First, Li Hanxing stabbed the Kappa in the eye with a quick and precise shot. The Kappa was so frightened that the Kappa quickly changed his body shape and barely dodged the shot.
Before the kappa had time to restrain his body, Sun Huiwen struck at the kappa's left arm with a knife, which forced the kappa to roll to the ground, thus escaping Sun Huiwen's knife.
But at this time, Li Hanxing launched another attack. He picked up two short-pointed spears and stabbed the Kappa on the left and right shoulders. This time, the Kappa, who had no time to dodge, was pinned directly to the floor.
Seeing the wailing kappa, Sun Huiwen chopped it down without mercy...and then the kappa became silent.
I have to say that the cooperation between Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen was really good, and they were able to beat this kappa without any power to fight back.
You must know that in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, it is not easy to defeat the opponent without the ability to fight back, because this requires that all of your attribute values reach a certain height, and in the judgment
Sometimes you have to be lucky enough.
Of course, if you play more and less, the relevant conditions will be relaxed a lot, but there will still be certain requirements, especially for the players' tacit understanding.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that if he and Zhang Jingxu and others were to use cold weapons to deal with this kappa, it would definitely not be as easy as Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen.
Therefore, Liu Xing said with admiration: "Your kung fu is really good. No wonder you can pass the exam module in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. I heard that less than one thousandth of the players can pass the exam module."
.”
Sun Huiwen smeared the kappa blood on the knife onto its clerk's uniform, and then said with a smile: "Of course, Li Hanxing and I are both from the legendary Guwu family in the real world..."
Li Hanxing looked at Sun Huiwen helplessly, and quickly interrupted: "Stop, stop, Sun Huiwen, if you want to brag, just brag. Don't bring me with you. I'm just an ordinary martial arts enthusiast at best.
, I just went to a training class to learn martial arts for a few years when I was a child. If I hadn't been lucky enough when I got the initial character card, I wouldn't have gotten this character card from the Guwu family."
Sun Huiwen sighed, and said in an angry tone: "Li Hanxing, why do you like to tear me down so much? Shouldn't we be the closest brothers? Okay, I admit that I was just talking nonsense.
Li Hanxing and I are good friends who grew up together in the real world, and we also attended children's martial arts training classes together, but in this parallel world we are genuine descendants of ancient martial arts."
Heir of ancient martial arts?
Liu Xing nodded. It seemed that Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen were both lucky enough to be assigned a character card like the Successor of Ancient Martial Arts.
You must know that in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, the descendant of ancient martial arts is definitely a rare creature, because in the world view of the Cthulhu Myth, ancient martial arts has become a highly polarizing skill.
In the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, most skills have only two effects, or to put it simply, either success or failure; if it is further broken down into the damage skills used in combat, then after success, it will be in a
One of the already specified numerical ranges is chosen as the damage value.
But the ancient martial arts skill is different, because its damage value range is very wide.
For example, Liu Xing once saw the introduction of "True Tai Chi" released by a player - after the skill is successfully judged, the number obtained by subtracting the judgment value from your skill value will be used to make another judgment. This time
The judgment will determine the damage range of this skill.
They range from 1d2-1 to 10d4, with a total of 40 different damage ranges.
Therefore, ancient martial arts skills can either kill the opponent with one punch, or massage the opponent with one punch, but the latter is more likely, because it is not easy to increase the value of ancient martial arts skills.
Therefore, the evaluation of the ancient martial arts successors in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall is very polarized - the powerful ones can single-handedly challenge any low-level mythical creature (except for mythical creatures such as invisible sons who are immune to physical damage), while the average ones can
Maybe he will be reduced to a funny character, that is, a set of operations is as fierce as a tiger, and the damage is only 1 when you look at the record.
So judging from the current situation, Sun Huiwen and Li Hanxing, the two ancient martial arts successors, are still quite strong. At least they can kill mythical creatures like kappas with their cooperation.
You must know that mythical creatures like kappa are not easy to solve, because kappa has a certain degree of divinity.
As mentioned before, players divide the mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Run game lobby into three types. The first is the mythical creatures in "Cthulhu Mythology", which is the original mythical creature;
They are monsters and monsters that have been passed down in the myths and legends of various countries and regions. These are traditional mythical creatures; finally, there are some mythical creatures created by the Cthulhu Run Game Hall for the plot of the module, such as in the Panlong Town module.
pig head butcher.
The most interesting among them are traditional mythical creatures, because traditional mythical creatures often have many origins, and there may even be mythical creatures in several adjacent countries or regions that have exactly the same image and ability, but completely different origins.
For example, the legendary nine-tailed fox has several origin theories in China, such as Qingqiu Kingdom's theory, the fox's old age theory, Daji's theory, etc. In the island country, it has been extended to the Tamamo Mae theory and the Inari God theory.
Therefore, the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall has some headaches when constructing this type of mythical creature, because different opinions will make the origin of mythical creatures different. For example, if it is said that a fox becomes a spirit when it grows old, then the nine-tailed fox is a
It's just an ordinary monster, but if Daji's words are used, then the nine-tailed fox will be related to the powerful ancient goddess Nuwa in China.
The same goes for kappas, because kappas are believed to have originated from the water ghosts of China. Later, when they spread to the island country, they gradually evolved into the unique image of kappas today. Therefore, the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall combines the kappas of the island countries with the kappas of China.
