Real Cthulhu Running Game

Liu Xing nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, according to the usual behavior of the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, the strength of that evil dragon is definitely on the same level as the Old Ones, so we want to get rid of that evil dragon. It is basically impossible to kill an evil dragon, so although this module is said to have two main tasks, it is actually one main task - we must make Zhang Jingxu realize that he is doing something before defeating the evil dragon. dream."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I agree with you Liu Xing very much. We must make Zhang Jingxu wake up before defeating the evil dragon. But this is not an easy task. After all, we have all had dreams and we all know how we feel when we dream. Even if you realize that something is wrong with the surrounding situation, you will still be immersed in the dreamland until the dream ends naturally, or you are awakened by something." Yin En said with a frown.

Zhang Wenbing on the side nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I had the so-called lucid dream for a while before, that is, I realized that I was dreaming in the dream, and then I could do whatever I wanted in the dream. , but even so, I couldn't take the initiative to wake up from the dream, so now I very much suspect that Zhang Jingxu actually realized that he was dreaming, but because the Cthulhu Run Team game hall interfered with it, Zhang Jingxu could only continue to be his Brave."

Zhang Wenbing's words made Liu Xing and others fall into deep thought.

Liu Xing still knows something about lucid dreaming, because Liu Xing once had a lucid dream, and Liu Xing still remembers the content of that dream. To put it simply, Liu Xing kept going down in a dilapidated high-rise building, and every time There were some strange people and objects in the room with the open door. I don’t know how long Liu Xing walked down without seeing the end. At this time, Liu Xing suddenly realized that he was dreaming, and then he flew away according to his heart. After leaving the broken building, Liu Xing soon felt that he could no longer fly anymore, and finally woke up the moment he landed.

Back to the topic.

Liu Xing feels that what Zhang Wenbing said is very right. Zhang Jingxu is very likely to realize that he is dreaming, or Zhang Jingxu also knows that he is working on a mod, but the Cthulhu Run Game Hall may have given him a A main mission that is completely different from that of your own group, or another version of the background story.

Liu Xing told others his thoughts.

Ding Kun touched his chin and said: "There is indeed a possibility. Maybe the background story that Zhang Jingxu knows is that all the players are dreaming of their own dreams. Only players who have completed their respective tasks can escape from the dream and return. Go to the real world, and then when a certain number of players escape from the dream, they can save everyone else from the dream. This is considered a customs clearance module."

"Yes, I have encountered the module you mentioned Ding Kun before. At that time, three other players and I were resting in a resort. It turned out that the owner of the resort was a wicked magician. So the four of us players were detained in four different dungeons separately, and these four dungeons also shared a door, and this door required at least three people to open, so we not only had to leave our respective dungeons according to our abilities, And you also need to pray that your teammates can escape." Zhang Wenbing said with some helplessness: "Unfortunately, my module failed in the end, because only two people including me successfully left their dungeon, and then I I starved to death in front of that gate with him... I have to say that my spirit was really about to collapse at that time, because I had tried my best, but I fell behind the gate of life because of the failure of others. This feeling is truly indescribable.”

Although Liu Xing has never experienced this kind of module that Zhang Wenbing mentioned, Liu Xing can understand Zhang Wenbing's mood at that time, not to mention that everything in this Cthulhu Running Team game hall is so real.

At this time, Zhang Wenbing also realized that what he just said made everyone feel a little depressed, so he quickly smiled and said: "Okay, let's get back to the topic. Zhang Jingxu should think that we are NPCs now, so we We have to find an opportunity to do something to prove that we are not NPCs, so that Zhang Jingxu will realize that something is wrong."

Yin En shrugged and sighed and said: "Brother Zhang, what you said makes sense, but how can we prove that we are not NPCs? Now we are like a group of normal people locked up in a mental hospital, and Zhang Jingxu It’s the doctor at the mental hospital, so how do we prove to the doctor that we are not mentally ill?”

Yin En's question hit the point.

How to prove to Zhang Jingxu that he is not an NPC?

Liu Xing couldn't think of a good idea for a while, because if he told Zhang Jingxu directly or indirectly that this was his dream, and he could clear the module as long as he woke up now, Zhang Jingxu would probably just regard it all as nothing. It is the test and trap set by the module for him.

So Liu Xing spread his hands and said, "Okay, I admit that I can't think of any way to let Zhang Jingxu know that we are not NPCs, so it all depends on you."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Yin En and others spread their hands in a tacit understanding, expressing that they had the same idea as Liu Xing.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing could only say helplessly: "Well, it seems that we can only take one step at a time. Anyway, we may have to stay in this module for several months, so we It’s not like we’re short of time right now.”

Ding Kun nodded and said with some worry: "We are definitely not short of time, but I think we still have to figure out the background setting of Zhang Jingxu's dream as soon as possible, especially the enemies we are about to face. What kind of things are they, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy, and fight without danger... And I suspect that those enemies may also be a bunch of weirdos."

Liu Xing felt that Ding Kun was right, because according to the discussion in the Dragon Quest game, when he and his group went to the village chief of the blacksmith village to build equipment tomorrow, the village chief would most likely use the lack of xx materials to build equipment. As an excuse, let your group go to xx place to collect materials. Then your group will face the first wave of enemies in this module.

At this moment, Yin En suddenly frowned and said: "Having said that, I felt that something was wrong before, because I actually don't have many memories related to the background setting of this world in my mind. Most of the memories are It is composed of insignificant trivia. The most important thing is that the memory of the "No Horse Riding Law" only appeared after the little fox said it, so I suspect that the background setting of this world is still going on. It is being perfected, or there may be some background settings that we need to know after getting in touch with it.”

After what Yin En said, Liu Xing also realized that he didn't understand the background setting of this world. He didn't even know where the Church of Light that issued his certificate was. As for the operating principle of the Holy Light, he didn't know.

It seems that this world was indeed created by Zhang Jingxu just now, so many background settings are still being improved.

This made Liu Xing start to wonder what kind of monsters and monsters the enemies that his group would face next would be. . .

Because the current information was still too little, Liu Xing and others went back to their rooms to rest after chatting for a while.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingxu didn't treat him badly. The bed in this world was quite comfortable to sleep on.

Nothing happened all night.

Early the next morning, Liu Xing was woken up by the constant "嘤, 嘤, 嘤~~" sound.

Liu Xing couldn't help complaining in his heart, Gugu, this eagle owl can make a croaking sound, but why does it also have the tone of a rooster?

Liu Xing got up and washed up, then went to the lobby on the first floor of the inn, because Shen Aotian said last night that early this morning he would bring his father, the village chief of Blacksmith Village. Come and see Zhang Jingxu.

Five minutes later, Liu Xing and others gathered in the lobby on the first floor, but Shen Aotian and his father had not yet arrived.

"Could something happen to Shen Aotian and the others?" Cai Gouzi said worriedly.

Bell chuckled, clasped his hands and said, "Don't worry, nothing has happened to Shen Aotian and his father now, and they will be here soon."

Just as Bell finished speaking, Liu Xing and others saw Shen Aotian entering the inn with a middle-aged man.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at Bell. Unexpectedly, this guy was quite capable.

At this time, Shen Aotian brought the middle-aged man to Liu Xing and others, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, everyone, something unexpected happened at the largest blacksmith shop in our village just now, so my father and I came here late."

Shen Aotian's father nodded and said with a helpless expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang Jingxu, it may take some time before the special equipment for your brave group to defeat the evil dragon is completed, because a group of goblins sneaked in yesterday. He entered the village and stole the important materials we used to build special equipment. If we want to reassemble these important materials, it will take at least a month to purchase them from other places."

Sure enough, this is the basic routine.

Liu Xing and others all put on an expression that was indeed the case.

"I didn't expect those timid Goblins to dare to do such a thing." Zhang Jingxu slammed the table and continued: "In that case, let's wait for another month."

"As expected of Master Zhang Jingxu, those goblins are in the cave to the north of the village... Wait, Master Zhang Jingxu, what are you talking about?" Shen Aotian's father looked at Zhang Jingxu in confusion.

The expressions of Liu Xing and others were exactly the same as Shen Aotian's father.

Zhang Jingxu, why don't you follow the routine?

The corners of Zhang Jingxu's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since all these materials have been stolen, let's ask the village chief to prepare new materials. Anyway, one month is not too long for us. It just so happens that we also You can take a good rest in the blacksmith village for a while to cultivate the tacit understanding of our brave team. After all, although the members of our brave team are all the best, they are all put together temporarily, so they still need to get used to each other for a while."

Liu Xing had nothing to say.

Shen Aotian's father didn't expect Zhang Jingxu to say that, so he hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

At this time, Shen Aotian stood up and said: "Sir Zhang Jingxu, it turns out that the brave team needs to be adjusted. Why don't we just go and destroy those goblins? Anyway, those goblins are still quite weak, so it is best to use them to practice. , and you can also get those important materials back by the way."

Zhang Jingxu rolled his eyes and said, "The reason why creatures like Goblins like to hide in caves is because their individual combat effectiveness is not strong, and their personality is inherently timid and fearful, so They will choose to place their home base in the cave, because the narrow terrain of the cave will be more suitable for small-sized goblins to fight, and we adventurers cannot develop a suitable formation to deal with the goblins. Basically, we will We are stuck in a situation where we are fighting more than we can, not to mention that goblins will take advantage of the complex terrain and pitch-black environment of the cave to attack us, so I don’t think goblins are a suitable whetstone.”

Zhang Jingxu's words are well-founded and convincing.

At this time, Shen Aotian's father seemed to be making a final struggle. As a result, Zhang Jingxu directly finished the attack and said: "I counted the existing weapons and equipment of our brave team and found that most of us use long-handled weapons, such as mine. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword and Yin En's Fangtian Painted Halberd, Liu Xing's wooden staff and Cai Gouzi's long-handled battle ax, so if we fight in a cave, our strength will be greatly reduced. As for Zhang Wenbing's revolver, it is even less suitable for fighting in a cave. We are fighting here, and it would be bad if we accidentally injure friendly forces."

Shen Aotian's father nodded, sighed and said, "Okay then, I will arrange the manpower to re-purchase the materials. Mr. Zhang Jingxu, please help yourself."

After speaking, Shen Aotian's father turned and left.

At this time, kp Husky couldn't help but said: "Okay, I know you players like to play cards that don't follow the rules, but I have to remind you that this side mission of defeating Goblins will reward a very useful item. props."

Liu Xing and others were unmoved.

Because Liu Xing and others now know very well that the props in this module are just fleeting and will not be taken with them alive or dead. Moreover, the effect of this prop should only be effective on evil dragons.

In addition, Liu Xing and others have already decided not to actually defeat the evil dragon, so it doesn't matter whether they can get this item or not.

Ever since, Liu Xing and others were eating and drinking as they should, without having any idea about the side mission.
