Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 230 The mystery of the module Yueshi, start!

"Liu Xing, I will add you as a friend in the lobby later, I think we will be together in the next module." Yin En patted Liu Xing's shoulder and said with a smile.

Liu Xing nodded, because he thought so too. After all, at the end of the screen, "Liu Xing" and "Yin En" boarded the same cruise ship, and the destination was also the universe country, so it is very likely that they will be involved. into the same module.

A minute later, kp Li Shunchan said with a smile: "Okay, now I'm sending you back. Everyone who has cleared the module this time, except for Yin En, who is the MVP of this module and won 1000 points reward , other players will receive a reward of 800 points, and a reward of a little increase in intelligence attributes, because this is a special hidden effect of the King Tindalos communicator, well, see you next time."

As soon as kp Li Shunchan finished speaking, Liu Xing returned to the real world.

Just as Liu Xing stood up and stretched himself, Yin En's friend application arrived, and Yin En's ID in the game hall of Cthulhu Running Group was Ian.

"Liu Xing, have you read the system notification? We have to start the next mod game tomorrow."

Liu Xing frowned at Yin En's first message, and immediately clicked on the system message that was blinking red.

"Dear player, old Chinese doctor, because you have triggered a special module - the mystery of the Yueshi, so please be ready to enter the special module at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, thank you for your cooperation."

Liu Xing looked at the system information, and didn't know what to say for a while. He planned to take a good rest for a few days and enjoy life, but in the end, he encountered a special module again, and it seemed to be a closed system. mod.

A closed module means that the player can only carry out activities within a certain range, such as a certain mansion, a moving train, and the place where this special module takes place - a sailing cruise ship.

Due to the relatively small scope of activities of this type of module and various restrictions, they will basically encounter the enemies in the module head-on, so this type of module is very suitable for non-combat character cards like Liu Xing. unfriendly. . .

However, there are still some advantages of this type of module, that is, it is easier to collect clues, you can get in touch with all the important people in the module in a short time, and you can determine your action goals in advance, unlike open modules , spent a lot of time and the result is still confused.

"Liu Xing, have you read the system messages?"

Yin En sent another message.

Liu Xing rubbed his chin, and replied, "I've already seen that message. It is said that the cruise ship we took is the sunken Shiyue cruise ship in reality, right?"

Shiyue, Cosmic Country Cruise Ship.

At about 8:58 am on April 16, 2014, the Shiyue ship carrying more than 450 passengers capsized and sank after a flooding accident 20 kilometers north of Pingfeng Island, Jindo County, Jeollanam-do Province, eventually killing nearly 300 people.

Judging from these data alone, there is no problem. It seems to be just an ordinary shipwreck accident, but the death toll is a bit high. However, after continuous media reports and more details exposed, the shipwreck of the Shiyue ship is full of strange things. , Even many people think that this shipwreck was not an accident, but a complete murder!

Because after the capsizing of the Shiyue, the official rescue operations of the universe country are always slow. . . In other words, it was more than ten beats slower, and the rescue operation was completely paddling, and there was no intention of saving people at all. The most important thing is that the civil rescue team wanted to enter the Shiyue for rescue, but they were all rescued by the official universe country. blocked.

With the passage of time, many strange things about the shipwreck of the Shiyue were revealed. For example, the Shiyue should not have set off on the same day, because the heavy fog on that day made the other nine ships in the harbor choose to stop sailing. The Yuet insisted on leaving the port; then according to the sailing route map of the Shiyue, it was also found that the Shiyue capsized because it suddenly deviated from the normal route and made a sharp turn forcibly; The respective rooms waited quietly for rescue, but the captain took the crew and ran away by himself, and locked the escape way before leaving!

All these abnormal situations have cast a shadow over the Shiyue shipwreck.

So if the next module, the mystery of the Yueshi, is the shipwreck of the Shiyue under the Cthulhu world view, then Liu Xing can be sure that the final boss of this module will be those fanatics.

At this time, Ian also replied to Liu Xing, "Yes, I can be sure that this module is alluding to Shiyue. After all, the name Shiyue means to transcend the world, so it is more appropriate to change it to Yueshi. But having said that, this time it’s an artificially triggered creative module, and it’s very likely that the two of us will deal with another faction, that is, players whose profession is fanatics.”

Yin En also attached a link at the end of the message.

Liu Xing clicked on the link and found that he had entered the help interface of the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group, which mentioned the special modules triggered by humans.

There are two types of artificially triggered special modules. The first type belongs to the "subsequent plot module", which is after the player has cleared a certain module because certain conditions have been met in this module, or When it is said that it is a wrong ending, there will be a chance to enter the "subsequent plot". For example, in a module, there were originally two fanatics, one bright and one dark. The sacrificial ceremony was successfully cleared on the surface, but because the fanatic in the dark is still alive, when the fanatic is ready to continue the sacrifice ceremony again, some players living in the "local" will be required to perform a special module, to get rid of this fanatic, as for those players who came from "outside", because they left after the first module ended, so there is no need for this special module.

The second type of special module is the "creative module". This type of special module "creates" a new module because of some actions of the player. For example, the player of a certain module successfully transforms For the sake of the elder ghoul, and then he suddenly wanted to rule the world, so he began to develop "offline" in a certain city-attacking humans and turning them into ghouls, so the players in this area under the same parallel world, They will be pulled into a special module. Some players are tasked with getting rid of the player who has become a ghoul elder, and the other part of the player whose profession is a fanatic may be to assist the player who becomes a ghoul elder.

Therefore, "subsequent plot modules" are generally similar to ordinary modules, but the difficulty may increase. After all, the bosses of this type of module exist in the previous modules, and the behavior patterns of the players are already known. Targeted enhancements will be made.

The "creative mods" are faction confrontation mods, which are generally divided into two camps to fight against each other, and the clearance goals of the two camps must be opposed to each other, so players must solve the opposing factions. Fight to the death.

Seeing this, Liu Xing already understood that this module should have one or more fanatic players wanting to hold a sacrificial ceremony on the Yueshi, so he and Yin En who "just happened" to ride the Yueshi was involved in this mod.

However, Liu Xing also noticed that a concept was mentioned in the help - parallel world.

Liu Xing entered the world view in the help with great interest. Although Liu Xing also knows the concept of parallel worlds, Liu Xing is more curious about the differences in the parallel worlds under the Cthulhu Mythos system.

According to the introduction in the help, there are three types of parallel worlds in the game hall of Cthulhu Running Group. The first is the parallel world in the modern background. All over the world, so it is called modern parallel world; the second type of parallel world, the time of occurrence of the module is advanced to 1920, and the place of occurrence is mainly in European and American countries, most of which take place in England The two countries with the United States are therefore called the parallel world of 1920; the third type of parallel world, the module occurred before the middle of the eighteenth century, and the era of the industrial revolution has not yet begun, the location of the module is concentrated In mainland Europe and China, it is called the ancient parallel world.

So because there are these three types of parallel worlds, the character cards of the players are divided into three types-modern character cards, 1920 character cards and ancient character cards. These three types of character cards can only appear in the same type of world. It is impossible for Liu Xing, who only has modern character cards, to have access to the other two types of parallel world modules. However, when creating a new character card, you can modify the type of character card at will.

Of course, there are tens of thousands of parallel worlds in the game lobby of Cthulhu Running Group, and the character cards of players live in these parallel worlds. In theory, a parallel world can accommodate tens of thousands of character cards, and The module happened in a certain area of ​​this parallel world, which may affect other character cards, such as the news that Watanabe was arrested. Except for Liu Xing and others who knew about it, at the same time, there was a Players of other mods in the island country may also see this news while watching TV or surfing the Internet.

Of course, if in this parallel world, a module reaches the stage of extinction, for example, Liu Xing and his party did not prevent the resurrection of the evil god Taketori, then this module will be "divided" by the parallel world to form a new world. However, this newly born parallel world will soon be destroyed. . .

After reading the introduction of the parallel world, Liu Xing replied to Yin En, "It seems that we are lucky to be able to trigger a special module."

"Of course, we have to cooperate well tomorrow, but generally speaking, camp confrontation type modules pay attention to two words - balance, the difficulty is not too high, it mainly depends on the intrigue between players, And I have to say something first, my character card attribute skills will drop a lot after leaving Ziwu City."

Liu Xing looked at Yin En's reply, and couldn't help laughing. It was within Liu Xing's expectation that Yin En's character card was weakened. A grass chicken becomes a phoenix.

After agreeing on the content of tomorrow's cooperation, Liu Xing prepares for intermission growth, but finds that there is only one intermission growth this time, and that is "visiting collectors".

Visit the collector. After the player successfully arrives at the Universe Kingdom, he can obtain a 100% fragment of the "Secret Scripture of the Seven Chapters of Xuanjun" by visiting the collector.

To put it simply, if Liu Xing can pass tomorrow's module, then he can 100% get a fragment of "Secret Scripture of Seven Chapters of Xuanjun".

Liu Xing touched his chin and decided to go out for dinner.

At nine o'clock the next morning, after Liu Xing finished his breakfast, he clicked on the matching game and waited for the module to start.

As soon as ten o'clock arrived, Liu Xing directly entered the module.
