Chapter 2588 Another Old Friend
"You're here, Liu Xing."
Um?
Liu Xing was shocked when Master Luo opened his mouth, because Liu Xing had never thought that Master Luo actually knew him. After all, according to Liu Xing's previous guess, Master Luo should be a special one in this event. It’s just an NPC, and the previous kp Maple Leaf didn’t mention anything special about Master Luo, so this Master Luo wouldn’t be a more powerful existence than kp Maple Leaf, right?
wrong!
Liu Xing suddenly thought of another possibility, that is, Lord Luo, as the master of this siege grid, or even the entire grid array, might know his true identity, because this is the only authority he has.
What's more, according to previous speculations, the designer of this grid array may be a game planner, so from a game perspective, it is possible that Mr. Luo could see the words "Liu Xing" on his head, because This is my character name.
"Hahaha, in order to enable you to win the final victory, I have spent a lot of effort to protect you! You must know that it normally takes an hour or two for these NPCs to enter the grid formation. As a result, I Avoid players who have not surrendered to you from knocking you out. Deliberately let these NPCs enter the venue in advance to force those players to temporarily join your team. In this way, all the players who are qualified to participate in the game are under your team. Then they must know some ways of the world and cannot be casual. I eliminated your apparent immediate boss."
As soon as Mr. Luo said this, Liu Xing was shocked again, because it was not difficult to tell from his words that he was not an NPC. After all, NPCs would not casually say the words "player" and "NPC". Two words, and he has the ability to let NPCs enter the scene in advance to advance the plot, which means that he must be at least a kp!
So who is he?
Liu Xing subconsciously thought of one person - Ao Guanhai, because KP Maple Leaf had already joined the Cthulhu Run Team game lobby as a KP during the closed beta period. He didn't even know that there was Master Luo where he was hiding. This kind of person means that Mr. Luo is more powerful than kp Maple Leaf and you!
Of course, in addition to this, there is another possibility, which is just four words - deus ex machina, which means that Master Luo should not have appeared in this event, or that "Master Luo" is the one in this event. An NPC, but something is controlling "Master Luo" to talk to him at this time.
If it's the latter, who would it be?
Liu Xing immediately thought of Ao Guanhai, firstly because Ao Guanhai did have this ability, and secondly because Ao Guanhai had a reason to help him at this time, but the most important thing was that Ao Guanhai was in the martial arts model. He has not contacted himself since the group started, which makes Liu Xing feel a little strange, because for such an important module like the martial arts module, Ao Guanhai must have tried to find a way to contact him and give him some tips, so that he can Maximize your own interests in this martial arts module.
As a result, Ao Guanhai has not contacted him so far, so Liu Xingdu suspects that Ao Guanhai should be constraining each other with his brothers and sisters at this time, because they all want to contact their partners and let them They can get more benefits in this martial arts module!
But there is a saying that some things may only weigh three or two if they are not weighed, but if they are weighed, they cannot be weighed down by a thousand kilograms of weight. Therefore, Ao Guanhai and the others know each other's thoughts, so they all want to Seize the opponent's weaknesses and use them to attack. After all, when you can't effectively improve yourself, then weakening your opponent can be considered an improvement!
As a result, Ao Guanhai had to play some tricks with his brothers and sisters. After all, this was also a high-risk but high-reward challenge for them, because as long as they bypassed their brothers and sisters and cooperated If you get in touch, it is equivalent to allowing your collaborators to start running in advance.
Therefore, in the "main film" of the martial arts module, Ao Guanhai and others cannot take action at will. After all, everyone is watching there, and the plot flow of such a module should be with Ao Guanhai and others. Go through it again, so they all know what will happen at what time, and whether this is a good opportunity for them to contact someone.
In this way, even the resourceful Ao Guanhai, who is known as the smartest among the brothers and sisters, can't find any chance to take action, because some things cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and it doesn't know if it has any chance at this time. It's time to chat with it. After all, you can't call someone when they are in danger of death and ask them to talk about life and ideals with you, right?
However, in this event, because the players all used temporary character cards, and the dreamland where this event is located is also a place that Ao Guanhai and others cannot completely control, so Ao Guanhai and others There is a lot of room for operation, and the best way at this time is to use a machine Mechanical God, directly control an important NPC in the event to contact your collaborators. In this way, you can also put a layer of vest on yourself. If something goes wrong, you can immediately choose to release the control. At that time, as long as you don't If one person comes and gets the stolen goods, then you can escape unscathed.
So is this Mr. Luo really Ao Guanhai?
"What are you thinking about? You don't think I'm one of those bastards from Ao Guanhai, do you?"
Luo Ye smiled, shook his head and said: "If nothing unexpected happens, you should have seen KP Maple Leaf just now, right? Ye Zi and you, no, it should be your past self, have had many conflicts, but they were just minor fights, and let's be honest. If you let me stand up and say something fair, then I think Liu Xing, you may have made more mistakes than Ye Zi, because you were only a casual player in Cthulhu game and Cthulhu mythology, while Ye Zi is an expert in showing off your knowledge."
"In the Cthulhu game, showing off your knowledge is not a bad thing. After all, the rule book of Cthulhu game has hundreds of pages, and the content involved is really complicated. For example, what professional skills a certain profession has, how much damage a certain weapon has, these are not things that ordinary people can memorize, and even some KPs temporarily look up the rule book, and it takes a long time to confirm certain information. The correctness of the information! So in that chat group, Ye Zi is known as the man who knows everything about Cthulhu. You can ask him any questions you encounter when you are playing the game. "
"Therefore, as a cloud player, Liu Xing, it is normal for you to be incompatible with Ye Zi, who can recite the rule book by heart and can ask him any questions. So it is normal for you to have conflicts with him. . . Moreover, Ye Zi was brought into the Cthulhu game lobby by you at that time, so you have to take some responsibility, right? Alas, Ye Zi is the most unlucky and the luckiest character card among us, because he was already dying at that time, and it is also a good thing to be able to join the Cthulhu game lobby and gain eternal life. "
Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, because the KP Maple Leaf mentioned by Luo Ye sounded more and more like the mod author named "Zhong Shuo"?
If I remember correctly, this Zhongshu seemed to have a serious illness and was dying soon, so in the dream, or in the past, I seemed to have visited him once, and then there was no more. So if what Luo Ye said was true, Liu Xing felt that it was possible that I brought Zhongshu into the Cthulhu running group game hall, and Zhongshu changed his name to KP Maple Leaf at this time.
As for why Zhongshu did not become a player after joining the Cthulhu running group game hall, but directly became a KP, Liu Xing estimated that it might be because the Cthulhu running group game hall at that time was still a newly established grass-roots team, so it could not provide players with a lot of additional guarantees like the current Cthulhu running group game hall, such as just spending a few points to cure all diseases and make you healthy in the real world.
So after entering the Cthulhu game lobby, Zhongshu could no longer be a player like other people, because his body in the real world could no longer hold on, and he might die after participating in a few modules in the Cthulhu game lobby. At that time, he just experienced how his favorite board game became an extremely real game.
So, Zhongshu became a KP in the Cthulhu game lobby, and also became a part-time module author. . . Liu Xing even suspected that Zhongshu might be the first module author in the Cthulhu game lobby, because the modules that Liu Xing had experienced in his dreams had big problems in Liu Xing's eyes now. He felt that he didn't know whether to say they were semi-finished products, or that these modules were generated by AI.
The most important thing is that the plots of these modules seem to be very short. Basically, it takes one or two hours to complete the group, and there will be no side plots in the middle. As for the main plot, it is also a one-way road. It belongs to the kind of veteran players who know what will happen after reading the module introduction, and they can also tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys at a glance after the main NPC appears.
To make an analogy that may not be appropriate, if the Cthulhu running group game lobby at this time is CS, then the Cthulhu running group game lobby at that time is CF, because CF can be said to have made a lot of subtractions on the basis of CS. The most obvious point is that the recoil and ballistic distribution of CF are very friendly to novice players. Basically, it is a laser gun that shoots wherever you point, and there is no need to consider any gun suppression, and you can also run and shoot.
So at the beginning, players who are used to playing CS will feel like gods descending to earth when playing CF, as if they have divine help, but after playing for a while, many people will feel that this is too boring, because everything is a little too simple. . . Unless you really like to bully weak players, this unchallenging game is really not fun.
Therefore, Liu Xing now feels that the Cthulhu game lobby back then really needs talents like Zhongshu to provide players with more challenging modules, especially when these players have super strong character cards, ordinary modules really can't cure these players.
So Liu Xing suddenly realized why he had a conflict with KP Fengye back then. It might be because he, a cloud player, raised some questions and suggestions that KP Fengye thought were stupid, just like that classic joke - I think it would be better for rockets to use water-washed coal as fuel.
Comparing oneself with others, Liu Xing also encountered a similar situation when he was an intern in the hospital. That is, those patients would always say some questions and suggestions that they thought were very smart and difficult for you to answer, such as taking medicine only twice a day. If I take it three times, will the disease get better faster?
If a friend asked this question, Liu Xing would definitely point out the logo of the Shaw Brothers movie very kindly, but when facing patients, he would have no choice but to explain to them that there is an idiom called "too much is not enough".
In addition, if kp Maple Leaf is really the final loser, it can also explain why the final loser has not written any new modules in recent years, because he has not been able to retreat for many years.
But then again, since I was just a cloud player back then, it's no wonder that when I rejoined the Cthulhu Run game lobby, I simply changed to a worse persona, that is, a pure new player.
After all, cloud players still know some bad jokes and the most basic knowledge points, while new players who are purely cute may even pronounce "Cthulhu" as "Crusu", of course, as long as it is not Deluxe.
"Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Liu Xing, you really have to find a way to get Ye Zi to leave the Dreamland, so that he can have a chance to help you in the future."
Mr. Luo sighed and said with a wry smile: "Since you haven't recovered your past memories yet, it means that your current situation is not that bad. But this is also normal. If you can get your memories back, If so, it means that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall at this time has been occupied by Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggo. Lars came to the door. After all, Ao Guanhai and others are not vegetarians! But having said that, it is a miracle that you can still enter the Cthulhu Running Group game hall now. I thought you would always enter Cthulhu! The blacklist of the LuPaotuan Game Hall, because your arrival is not good news for some people.”
"But your arrival is good news for us. After all, we thought we would be left in the dust forever, becoming a junk file in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, waiting to be swept into the trash can one day... It seems that besides me and Ye Zi, there are many old friends who have woken up, because my place is already considered a remote place. You have only one chance to come here. If I can't get you in, I'm afraid I I’m going to stay here for the rest of my life.”
