Real Cthulhu Running Game

"Lao Bai just sent back a flying pigeon letter, saying that a lot of strangers suddenly came to Far West City. Although they all call themselves caravans, the remaining business owners in the city don't know them, nor do they know who they are. I’ve heard about their brand name, so Lao Bai suspected that these people might be undercover agents.”

Meng Fugui said seriously: "This is also what we expected. After all, Far West City is also a relatively important city. After taking it, we may be able to get a lot of supplies, and we can also control many trading houses and let them To provide ourselves with more supplies, so sending people to investigate the situation in Far West City now is what a qualified commander would do."

"Then who should we send?"

Liu Xing frowned and said: "Almost all the people we can send out have been sent out now, so Tianshui Town can no longer dispatch too many players, because we must ensure that the number of players in Tianshui Town is compared with NPCs. The gap cannot be too big.”

Although the NPCs in Tianshui Town now have a good relationship with Liu Xing, for the sake of safety, Liu Xing and others believe that the number of players in Tianshui Town cannot be too small, because this is the basic base of the alliance, so no accidents can happen! What's more, there are many places near Tianshui Town that need manpower, so there are really not many players who can send them out right now.

"So can we arrange for some NPCs to go to Far West City?"

Meng Fugui said: "It is not the busy farming season now, so many NPCs are idle at home with nothing to do, so we can find a reason to send them to Far West City. This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. After all, once this person is free, it will be easy If something goes wrong, let alone in such a hot weather now, people can easily get angry."

This is true.

Because the weather has been relatively hot recently, Liu Xing also found that his mood began to become irritable. No matter what he watched, he felt a little displeased. There were indeed some conflicts among the players, and some even started to make gestures in the cafeteria. stand up.

As for the NPC side, it's not much better. Although most of them have been neighbors for decades, everyone has been forced to leave their hometowns now. Their mood is definitely not very beautiful, so they often conflict over trivial matters. , fights often occur, but the surrounding neighbors often try to stop him, so there has not yet been an NPC lying down to enter the hospital.

However, Liu Xing estimates that it will be soon.

So we have to find something for them to do.

"Then let's find a reason to send these NPCs to Far West City. Anyway, money is not an issue. As for the NPCs who stay, we have to get busy, so we will put the East Palace Canglong Temple we are planning to build on the agenda. Liu Xing nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with those NPCs tomorrow, and use high salaries to attract them to work in Far West City, and then the rest will continue to chop wood. But having said that, where should this Taoist temple be placed? No. Is it really placed on the top of Tianshui Mountain?" Meng Fugui asked doubtfully.

"why not?"

Liu Xing looked at Tianshui Mountain not far away and said seriously: "We are nominally building the Taoist temple of Canglong in the East Palace, but we are actually preparing a fortress built on the mountain! When necessary, we can Let some people retreat to the Taoist temple, while others enter the orchard, so that we can form a fighting force! As long as the number of enemies is not too large, then we can be invincible!"

At this time, Liu Qindong on the side suddenly said: "Uh, leader, why does this plan of yours remind me of Ma Di's street pavilion? They all retreated directly to the mountain..."

Liu Xing looked at Liu Qindong speechlessly. After a moment of silence, he said: "Isn't the biggest problem with Ma Di's guarding the street pavilion that there is no water source on the mountain? So as long as they are besieged on the mountain for too long, the defenders will enter the gap. The state of the water, so morale dropped again and again, and finally collapsed; but our Tianshui Mountain did not have this problem, because there is sufficient water source on the mountain, and Tianshui Town had been burned many years ago, so As long as we make more preparations now, we don’t need to worry about being attacked by fire.”

"Then give it a try. It's idle anyway." Meng Fugui said with a shrug.

After settling the matter, Liu Xing and others went back to their respective homes, while Liu Qindong moved directly into Yin En's home. Because the yard where Yin En lives now is a not very standard courtyard, there are several An empty room, after all, his "father-in-law" and other relatives did not live in it.

After Liu Xing returned to his room, the first thing he did was to check the status of the Night Howl statue. Because another player holding the same series of statues ripped the card today, Liu Xing felt that his Night Howl statue There should be some changes.

Sure enough, Liu Xing soon discovered that the "head" of the Yehou statue had changed. To put it simply, it had become softer, as if the material had changed from some kind of metal to some kind of cork.

At the same time, Liu Xing also noticed that the originally obvious pattern of the Yehou statue had become a little blurry, giving people a "melting ice cream" feeling.

So is this Yehou statue "alive"?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing's expression became serious, because this was not good news. What if the Yehou statue really came to life, then how should he deal with it? Or who is controlling this Night Roar statue?

Is it a real night roar?

If that were the case, that would be troublesome.

At this moment, above the Nine Heavens, Ao Guanhai was drinking tea with a depressed look on his face. Although the Black Pharaoh next to him could not see his face clearly, everyone could feel his smile.

"You can laugh if you want."

Ao Guanhai shook his head and said: "I'm convinced too. How could this player holding my statue be so stupid? He actually wanted to use my statue as bait, and ended up trapping himself."

The Black Pharaoh laughed twice, then shook his head and said, "Who said the statues this time were randomly assigned to different players? So until the last moment, we don't know which player got whose statue. Do you know if this player is reliable? So to put it bluntly, let us draw a lottery, and only those with good luck will be able to descend from the gods!"

"Haha, can this also make a god come down to earth?"

At this time, a standing and walking Sphinx floated over and said to the Black Pharaoh: "We can really join this martial arts module through the corresponding statues, but the problem is that these statues are not only bluffing in appearance. In addition, their strength is approximately zero, because after all, they are just a statue less than half a meter high, and we only remotely control the statue, so unless we can frighten those players, we can only act honestly Use it as a figure, and then passively walk around and look at it.”

The Black Pharaoh glanced at the faceless god and sneered: "Shameless guy, have you forgotten the agreement we made thousands of years ago? Since you lost to me back then, you must obey my orders. Serve me in front of the saddle and behind the horse."

The faceless god also snorted coldly, shook his head and said: "Yes, I lost to you back then, so I have been your watchdog for hundreds of years, squatting in front of your house like a stone lion! I haven’t forgotten this humiliation yet! So why don’t we take a gamble now and bet on whether your statue will be left at the end?”

Without even thinking about it, the Black Pharaoh shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't dare to make such a bet with such a small chance of winning. After all, there will only be one statue in the end, so such a bet is really too big for me." Fair enough."

At this time, Ao Guanhai also said: "Yes, we have no way to interfere with the players holding statues now, so in theory, anyone can become the final winner... Of course, I have no chance now. So, Faceless God, please stop proposing such a weird bet, even the brainless Atu won’t agree to it.”

As soon as Ao Guanhai finished speaking, A'tu, who was calm in the distance, suddenly "looked" this way, while Ao Guanhai's expression remained unchanged and his heart did not beat, looking at the faceless god very naturally.

The Faceless God smiled, nodded and said: "That is indeed the truth, then I will simply modify this bet! Let's do some planning now and divide the remaining statues. Whoever’s statue is left to the end will be the final winner! How about that?”

"Okay, let's take another gamble!"

The Black Pharaoh answered without hesitation and did not see Ao Guanhai's frown.

As a result, the Black Pharaoh and the Faceless God went back and forth to "select" the statues, and the Night Roar statue owned by Liu Xing finally fell into the possession of the Faceless God.

After the Faceless God left, the Black Pharaoh noticed something was wrong with Ao Guanhai's expression.

"Uh, what's going on with you? Do you think I'll suffer a loss?"

The Black Pharaoh asked with some worry: "Didn't you just say that no matter who it is, it is possible to win the final victory. After all, we don't know which player got our statue, and even if it is a very bad player , as long as he is lucky, he may get the final victory, as long as he can stay away from the dispute honestly, or simply go to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests."

Ao Guanhai nodded and said seriously: "It stands to reason that players who have obtained statues will not be attracted to each other and then come to a certain place to start the brawl mode, so the players holding the statues will not be attracted to each other. No matter how weak he is, no matter how bad he is compared to other players, he may still win the final victory; then the problem is, in a bet like this where theoretically the winning and losing is 50-50, and he has no way to interfere, even at night A lunatic like Mo wouldn’t dare to participate casually, so why do you think the faceless god wants to bet with you?”

"Well..."

The Black Pharaoh hesitated for a long time, but did not explain the reason.

"If I remember correctly, Black Pharaoh, the bet you made with the Faceless God back then was narrowly won because of you personally playing the game, right? Of course, the Faceless God also made a bad move, and the final chance of comeback was because of the difference. It took a while and failed, so it has never been convinced in so many years. What's more, you are so cruel that you let the faceless god be your watchdog! You yourself are enjoying the good things and drinking in the back, while the faceless god Then he squats at the door and acts as a gatekeeper for you, and everyone who passes by has to say "good dog."

"So if I were the faceless god, I would definitely be full of resentment towards you, because although it was not harmed, you have lost all its face by your own hands! You know, we Nyarlathotep The clone of God is theoretically immortal, so he takes face very seriously. Therefore, as a bystander, I can be sure that the faceless god is always looking for opportunities to take revenge, which is the current gambling game! I can be 100% sure that the Faceless God is very confident in winning this bet!"

"Huh? Why, shouldn't our winning rate be 50-50? So...wait, did that guy use his only chance to use his clairvoyance on this?!"

The cup in the Black Pharaoh's hand turned into powder, and he said in disbelief: "Isn't it too cruel to do this? It wastes the precious opportunity of seeing in this place?"

"Tit for retaliation. If you hadn't been so ruthless back then, the Faceless God wouldn't have been more ruthless than you!"

Ao Guanhai frowned and said: "There is no doubt that the Faceless God used his eyes to check the status of each statue owner, and then arranged a winning rate table based on their information! So your bet is in name only The winning rate is still 50%, but your actual winning rate is less than 30%! Because you are choosing randomly with your eyes closed, while the faceless god chooses by himself with his eyes open, so you may choose There are one or two elite soldiers and generals, but there is no bad one on the faceless god's side."

"And now that I think about it carefully, I find that the Faceless God is also killing two birds with one stone this time! Because our Sky Eye opportunities are only used at the end, so as to ensure the maximum benefit, so the bet between you and the Faceless God It will be revealed before then! Then when you lose this bet, you will have to play bullshit for the Wumian God, so your chance of clairvoyance will become that of the Wumian God. In this way, Wumai God has taken revenge and has lost nothing, so why not do it?"

Hearing what Ao Guanhai said, the Black Pharaoh's hands started to shake, "Ao Guanhai! You have to help me. If the Faceless God asks me to defect in the final battle, you will be the one who suffers in the end. ah!"

"This is impossible, because when the final battle begins, we will not be subject to any restrictions, so you do not need to abide by the agreement with the Faceless God."

Ao Guanhai sighed, shook his head and said, "You should pray that you didn't choose the wrong person now."
