"well."
Liu Xing sighed and pretended to be helpless and said: "It seems that the gentleman has really discovered the secret, so even if he doesn't tell others what he knows, God is not going to let him go."
Prefect Han nodded and sighed: "Yes, my friend just realized something was wrong and ran out of the city overnight. If he hadn't told me in advance that such a thing would happen, I would have thought He was captured by thieves! But he wrote two words on both sides of the cave entrance - Wan and Home. I don't know what this means."
Play and home?
Isn’t that a player? !
Liu Xing frowned. He didn't expect that this fortune teller really had something and could actually know the existence of players. It's no wonder that he would be so targeted by the Cthulhu Game Hall, and Earthquake Bugs were directly sent to deal with him.
But the question comes again, how does this fortune teller know the existence of "player"? Could it be that he had completed the awakening like Alice and already knew what kind of world he lived in with various identities?
There's something wrong with that, too.
Liu Xing thought about it and felt that the reason why Alice was able to complete the awakening was not only because she was special, but also because she, herself, Zhang Jingxu and other players participated in multiple modules and became good players. Friend, so I gradually complete my awakening under the subtle influence. This is like a supporting role in some Internet. After long-term contact with the protagonist, I can also discover the extraordinary things about the protagonist, and thus guess that the protagonist may have adventures. , got help from the old man, or activated a certain system.
And after understanding some of Turner's situation, Liu Xing also suspected that one of the reasons why Turner deliberately returned to England more than 20 years ago when he controlled his character card was to give that person At that time, Alice planted a seed so that Alice could complete her awakening!
So no matter what, it is basically impossible for an NPC to achieve awakening purely on its own and recognize the world in front of it, because the probability cannot be described as one in a million! After all, the Cthulhu Run game lobby has existed for so many years, and no player has ever discovered an NPC like Alice. Of course, this kind of NPC should also hide its own special features, just like in "The Truman Show" The protagonist did not dare to lift the table directly after realizing the situation he was in.
So, does the awakening of this fortune teller have anything to do with the player?
If there is, Liu Xing estimates that the player who awakened the fortune teller is most likely the first group of players in the Cthulhu Game Hall, that is, Ah Yi and others! Because if my guess was correct, only Hajime and others had entered this martial arts module before this event started.
But, although the Cthulhu Run game lobby back then was very good for players, there were still no rules that players had to abide by, the most important of which was not to overplay! Therefore, it is unlikely that any player will take the initiative to say something to this fortune teller to let him know that he is just an NPC. Of course, serious players themselves will not do this, because it will also affect their own game experience.
After all, it's like playing an escape room. If you don't put yourself into the role, then it will be too boring to play.
So after Liu Xing thought about it, he only thought of one person who might be able to make this fortune teller complete his awakening!
This person is the first-generation manager of the Cthulhu Game Hall, that is, the male voice!
As the creator of this martial arts module, that man can really do whatever he wants. The reason why this martial arts module has not been completely formatted by Ao Guanhai and others is probably because that man did something deliberately to preserve it. The existence of this module also forced Ao Guanhai and others to release this module at this time!
Otherwise, Liu Xing would not understand why Ao Guanhai and others would use this martial arts module for activities, because there are many settings in this martial arts module that are very unfavorable to them, especially the rewards of this module are really It was a bit too generous, and Liu Xing began to worry about whether there would be inflation in the Cthulhu Run game lobby after the end of this martial arts module?
After all, except for a few unlucky players, the guaranteed rewards alone for other players can take their overall strength to a higher level!
More importantly, the improvements that players have gained after this martial arts module are mainly reflected in the three physical attributes of strength, agility and constitution, and are supplemented by some improvements in mental attributes. Real improvement will not be taken away casually by others like props.
This is a real improvement!
What's more, the martial arts in this martial arts module are not simple. Even if you only learn a few superficial skills, you can also have a melee skill with a damage bonus in other modules, which can be considered as a good weapon when facing mythical creatures. With someone to rely on, you won't be at the mercy of others.
So at the beginning, Liu Xing thought that the main reason why the Cthulhu Run Game Hall would open this martial arts module was to pave the way for the subsequent real-world module and allow players to return to the real world. It’s not that they are helpless. After all, most players still have the strength to fight in the Cthulhu Game Hall, because their character cards have some life-saving means! But when they return to the real world, they don't have much ability to protect themselves.
But now, Liu Xing has discovered that the rewards that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall will give after this martial arts module are too many!
Too much is too little!
It's like when you see a beggar on the road and you feel a little pity for him, and then you give him a hundred-dollar bill. Then both the beggar and the passers-by will think that you are quite kind and kind. Very generous.
But if you just pick up a sack of hundred-dollar bills, run over and fall in front of this beggar without saying a word, then no matter who you are, everyone will think that there is something wrong with your head, or that you have another agenda.
The Cthulhu Run Game Hall is like this at this time, because it provides too many things, so much that Liu Xing is reminded of some bad memories. . . I remember that before entering the Cthulhu Run game lobby, Liu Xing also liked playing mobile games. As a result, one mobile game suddenly gave out a lot of rewards, and also launched a very cost-effective gift package. So Liu Xing, who was still a "leopard head", didn't hesitate to add some money!
Then, the next plot can be imagined. The mobile game was directly shut down and ran away.
So does the Cthulhu Game Hall also want to close the server and run away?
This is indeed a possibility, but the Cthulhu Run game lobby does not seem to be shutting down the server, but has merged the real world server into it, but this is not the reason why it gives out so many rewards to players. .
Therefore, Liu Xing thought about it and now only thought of one possibility, that is, the emergence of this martial arts module is not what Ao Guanhai and others want to see, but they have no way to prevent the emergence of this martial arts module, so The only way to do this is to package this martial arts module into a welfare event specially launched by them, so as to gain the gratitude of the players.
This Cthulhu Running Game Hall is quite good.
As for why this situation occurs, we have to go back to the fortune teller who knows the existence of the "player", because the reason why he knows so much is probably because of the special arrangement of that man! The reason why the man did this may be because he already knew that he was about to be replaced by Ao Guanhai and others, so in order to leave some backup for himself, the man deliberately modified some contents in this martial arts module. , and also gave this martial arts module an "alarm clock" so that it can appear directly at a certain point in time!
"Apeng, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Liu Xing suddenly distracted, Han Yu wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, because Liu Xing had been stunned there for almost more than a minute.
But before Han Yu could reach out, his father pressed him down.
"Don't worry, Xiao Liu is communicating with the gods."
The reason why Taishou Han said this was because Yu Lei had revealed the truth to him before and pointed out that Liu Xing was actually a divine envoy.
The reason why Yu Lei said this was that it was Taishou Han who took the initiative to ask him about this matter, because although Taishou Han had lived in a small place like Fei City for a long time, as a prefect of a place, he also knew a lot of things, so He was also a little confused as to how Liu Xing became the third prince's personally appointed school captain. You must know that there is only one unreliable city gate captain in Feicheng.
Therefore, even if he is a school captain in name only, his status is not low, and at this time, as a school captain, Liu Xing can kill first and then report, and raise his own banner of school captain to recruit troops. As long as he has enough weapons in his hand, then There is no problem in gathering a team of thousands of people.
Therefore, Prefect Han felt that something was wrong. After all, he had met the third prince several times in Liangcheng before, so he knew that the third prince was also a smart man. Although he would reward his subordinates with some things, he would not give them randomly. Create a school captain!
So Governor Han gave up the outrageous idea that "Liu Peng is the third prince's brother-in-law", but this also made him even more confused about Liu Xing's origins, so that he could be rewarded by the third prince?
Then, Prefect Han thought that the main purpose of Liu Xing and Yu Lei's visit to Feicheng was to bring the famous theater troupe to Liangcheng, so he felt even more strange, so he couldn't help but ask Got Yu Lei.
Yu Lei knew that Prefect Han was a good person, and he didn't know that Fei City was also important to the third prince. In addition, Liu Xing and Han Yu had become friends, so Yu Lei told him some things he could tell. It was given to Prefect Han, including the fact that Liu Xing was the envoy of Donggong Canglong, and it was also the instructions of Donggong Canglong to come to Fei City to find the troupe this time.
Therefore, in the view of Prefect Han at this time, the reason why Liu Xing was suddenly in a daze was because he received the words "play" and "home" from the East Palace after hearing that his old friend left the words "play" and "home" at the entrance of the cave. New instructions from Soryu.
Although Taishou Han stopped Han Yu's actions, Liu Xing had already heard what Han Yu said, so he came back to his senses at this time. Hearing Taishou Han call himself the envoy of God, he understood that this was Yu Lei's message to him. What did Prefect Han say?
So Liu Xing had an idea and said: "Prefect Han, since you already know that I am the envoy of Donggong Canglong, I won't hide it here! Just now, Donggong Canglong was listening to you talking about this joke. After the word "home", he knew that your friend was really capable. He had even deciphered the existence of the player. You must know that only the gods knew about the existence of this player. It is no wonder that he was sent by other gods. The earthworms were taken care of."
"Player? What is that?"
Han Yu said subconsciously: "I know what the word "play" and "jia" mean, but what the word "player" means when these two words are put together, I am a little unclear about."
Prefect Han on the side also nodded, looking very puzzled.
"The players are the envoys, but they are a special kind of envoys."
Liu Xing pretended to shake his head, and then said seriously: "This player's play actually means playing in the human world. In other words, although this player is the messenger of the gods in the mortal world, he also needs to constantly complete the tasks given by the gods. , it’s like children playing games, whether it’s hide-and-seek or jumping the grid, there is a clear goal to be accomplished; so in the troupe I came to see this time, all members in it can be called As players, the task they need to complete is to let others know about the existence of Donggong Canglong through singing and dancing performances!"
"Of course, I, the envoy of God, can be considered a relatively advanced player in a sense, because what I need to do is to replace Donggong Canglong to find these players and convey the orders of Donggong Canglong to them. After all, the gods want It takes a lot of energy to show off in front of others, so if Donggong Canglong is asked to find players one by one and issue tasks, it will be a bit too troublesome. This is like Prefect Han, you have to do everything yourself, even if Even setting up a tea shed on the roadside requires you to do it yourself."
"And this not only requires you, Grand Administrator Han, to build the shed yourself, but you also have to get up early in the morning to make tea, and then run around carrying these wooden buckets filled with tea. Then you are considered a strong person. Young people will fall down if they can't hold on for a few days; that's why Donggu Canglong asked me to do some things on his behalf. Of course, in addition to Donggu Canglong, there are some gods who are doing the same thing, so the number of players There’s quite a lot.”
