Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2562 Branch

"Treasure chest?!"

Hearing the word "treasure box", Liu Xing suddenly became interested.

As a senior game player, Liu Xing started to play with the Famicom, or Xiaobawang learning machine, when he was in elementary school. Then he naturally started to play in arcades with his friends, because Liu Xing had a classmate His family owns an arcade, so he has a lot of arcade-specific coins at home. Therefore, Liu Xing and this classmate cannot go to his arcade to play, but they can use these coins to fish in troubled waters in other arcades. .

After all, the coin-operating mechanism of arcade machines is to use the gravitational acceleration of arcade-specific coins to rush through an movable mechanism. In this way, it is considered a successful coin-opting. That is why these arcade-specific coins are so weighty. Therefore, although the coins in different arcade halls are There may be some differences, but basically they are all universal.

Ever since, Liu Xing and his classmate went to other arcades to play, just pretending to buy a few coins, and then they could get double or even triple the happiness. As for more happiness, It's better not to be too aggressive, lest the arcade owner discovers it, so Liu Xing and this classmate only play when there are many people.

However, Liu Xing didn't play in the arcade for long before he was attracted by the new PS and computers. Because they were much more fun than arcade machines and cost about the same, it was natural to give up arcade machines. It was the general trend. , after all, arcades began to decline after they appeared in Internet cafes. However, Internet cafes have reproduced the rise and fall of arcades in recent years, and have gradually declined under the impact of mobile games.

No way, who said mobile games are more convenient to play? And it also has stronger social attributes.

But no matter what game it is, "treasure boxes" are an important part of it, because treasure boxes can be used to stimulate the reward mechanism of the player's brain, giving players great happiness in an instant, especially with the cool light effects. And sound, it can really give people instant satisfaction, so many hot chicken games now do nothing else but make those fancy light pillars and wings.

There is no way, there are just some people who are so good at it.

So even in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, there are occasionally some treasure boxes hidden in the module as Easter eggs, but these Easter eggs are not hidden as deeply. For example, Liu Xing is in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall. After so many years, I haven't found a treasure chest yet.

If it weren't for the fact that players who find treasure chests can get the title "Treasure Chest Collector" in the forum, most players would think this is just a mythical urban legend.

As for what can be found in the treasure chests in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, it depends on the player, because players with good luck can find some broken pages of magic books, such as "Xuanjun" that Liu Xing has been collecting "Seven Chapters of the Secret Scripture" or part of the "Book of the Necromancer", and players with less luck can only get some gold and silver jewelry, which can only be brought to the real world to show off to others, but for their character cards, it is It's of no use at all.

As for the various props that can be opened by players with average luck, they are the most useful, because although the broken pages of those magic books are very precious, there are very few players who can use them. After all, if you want to learn the spells recorded on them, It's not too difficult, but if you want to use it, it's easy to send yourself to a special hospital, and most people's MP value will be exhausted after using only one or two spells, and then you can feel what it means. The body has been hollowed out, so if you don’t have any talent, it’s better not to study those magic books.

Therefore, Zhang Jingxu is the only player in Liu Xing's team who has good magic talent, but the spells he possesses can only be said to be better than nothing, because there are so many things that can replace these spells, and the cost of use is even higher. Low.

So it’s better to buy some more practical props to get more bang for your buck. For example, a player opened a box of enchanted bullets from a treasure chest. There will be obvious bonuses when fighting mythical creatures, but these bullets are too expensive. , it can be said that you have to change a gun every time you fire a bullet.

It would be okay if it were a pistol bullet, but this thing is a shotgun, so even a shotgun with a sawn-off barrel is difficult to carry multiple guns at a time, not to mention that the bullet must pass through a long enough barrel. Being able to activate magic power, this player can only use a shotgun with his teammates to go head-to-head with the mythical creatures on the opposite side.

If I don't send you away with a volley of fire, then you can come up and send me away.

Therefore, Liu Xing is quite envious of this player, because the props he develops can be said to be very useful. Even if the usage restrictions are strict, they can cause effective damage to mythical creatures, so it doesn't matter if you spend a little more effort.

Unfortunately, the treasure chests in the Cthulhu Run game lobby are not as traceable as the Easter eggs in other games. You simply cannot find any common ground from the experiences provided by other players, so you can only rely on them. Luck comes to find this treasure box, and the treasure chests also come in different sizes. There are the very large treasure chests that are very common in games, which look about the same as a freezer, and there are also the ultra-small treasure chests that look like jewelry boxes. You can glance at them at a glance. The kind that will be ignored.

In addition, these treasure boxes will only prompt you after you get started, so if it is placed in a pile of boxes one by one, it will be lost among all the boxes. Therefore, Liu Xing suspected that he had opened the pile of safes before. , there was actually a treasure chest inside, but unfortunately I didn’t find the right one.

The more I think about it, the worse I get.

Looking at Liu Xing who was suddenly distracted, Baihecheng shook his head and said: "I saw those scarecrows deliberately covering a box with straw when they were escaping, and the pattern and shape of the box looked like that kind of game. Common treasure chests in so I doubt if we just solve If we drop the Scarecrow King, we may not get the rewards we deserve, because the real rewards are all placed in that treasure box. Therefore, in addition to finding the Scarecrow King, we also have to find a way to find this treasure box, otherwise we will be in trouble. The rewards in the grid will be greatly reduced this time.”

"Then we have to find the treasure chests hidden by these scarecrows first, and then deal with the Scarecrow King."

Baihe City said seriously: "According to my understanding of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, if we solve the Scarecrow King first, then there will be a time limit for opening this treasure chest. That is to say, if we cannot open it within the specified time, This treasure box, then we will never be able to open this treasure box! For example, this treasure box requires the energy core of the Scarecrow King, which is the small black stone. After all, if this treasure box is to be locked, then the person who locks it must It could only be the Scarecrow King.”

As soon as Baihecheng finished speaking, a panting player came running from a distance. "Oh, my scout is back."

Baihe City smiled and said: "When I came back, this player volunteered to stay as a scout, saying he wanted to see where the treasure box would be taken! And the most dangerous place is also the safest place. When those scarecrows were chasing us, he was able to catch those scarecrows by surprise. Those elm-headed ones, no, the straw-headed ones probably wouldn’t have thought that another player would stay where they were. "

"This player is a bit brave to risk his life and survive."

Liu Xing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "But this is normal, because the thinking logic of these scarecrows is similar to that of the online games we played before. That is, when a player attracts the hatred of the monster, then the player next to him only needs to Don't do any strange operations, these monsters will not change targets, so it is normal for this player not to be discovered by the scarecrow."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, the player had already ran over, "Leader, Brother Bai, I saw that group of scarecrows with treasure boxes walking into a paddy field and not coming out again, so I suspect that these scarecrows directly I sank into the paddy field, hoping to avoid our search, but I have already! They have been marked, and if nothing else happens, we can still find them, and maybe there will be an unexpected harvest, because I also saw a special scarecrow with a strange bracelet. Look It looks quite shiny, but not that metallic.”

"Plastic bracelet?"

Liu Xing said subconsciously: "I have an aunt who once wore this kind of polished plastic bracelet. It looked pretty good. If she hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have known it was made of plastic, because Before this, I always thought that this bracelet was not made of some kind of metal that I didn’t recognize.”

"Ah? Can you ask about polished plastics? But some plastics are indeed quite shiny, and you really can't tell them apart at first glance."

Zhang Jingxu stretched and yawned again, "After eating, drinking, and exercising a lot, it makes me want to take a nap, but then again, we really didn't sleep today. How long, so after coming to the dreamland, the physical fatigue is relieved, but the mental fatigue is still accumulating, so should we find a time for everyone to take a nap and restore their mental state. "

"After we take care of all those scarecrows, let's rest for a while before setting off, but we still have to do our shifts well to avoid being sneak-attacked by these NPCs who are making a comeback."

After Liu Xing made this decision, the players set off again after a brief rest, and this time the person leading the way was replaced by White River City. . . But I don’t know whether I should say that this White River City has a childlike innocence, or something else. In short, this guy picked up a fairly straight branch from somewhere, and walked at the front to clear the way.

Wait, are there trees in this farmland grid?

Liu Xing suddenly realized a problem, that is, he had never seen many trees after entering the farmland grid. Even if there were, they were relatively low mulberry trees, and there were not many big trees, and the branches of these big trees looked very thin. It also looks crooked and can scare children at night on the set next door.

So where did Baihe City get this branch? And Liu Xing remembered that Baihe City didn’t have this branch in his hand when he came back, right?

Could it be that this guy was worried that he would **** the branch from him, so he hid the branch on purpose?

Isn't this too narrow-minded?

But having said that, Liu Xing saw that Baihe City was like this now, so he knew that he didn't know that Li Mengyao had also joined the team.

This is a good thing.

Liu Xing took out his water bag and took a sip of water, and then said to Zhang Jingxu next to him: "Old Zhang, if nothing else happens, we probably won't be the biggest winners of this event, unless the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall will come later. Targeting us, so I’m going to let you establish a branch in Boyang City.”

"Branch? Hasn't Boyang City always had a branch?"

Zhang Jingxu looked at Liu Xing with a puzzled expression. He wondered if Liu Xing was a little confused and could say such strange words.

Seeing Zhang Jingxu's expression, Liu Xing knew that he had misunderstood her, so he said seriously: "In my opinion, Zhang Jingxu and you two have a contact point in Boyang City at best, and it is not a real separation." Department, because you have all been in Boyang City for more than two months. So far, in addition to collecting some important information, there is no news that has been effective yet. What is more important is that something big has really happened. , Don’t you have to come back and inform me first? After all, the distance between Boyang City and Tianshui Town is too close.”

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu said even more doubtfully: "Yes, the distance between Boyang City and Tianshui Town is really too close. If we hurry up, we can reach it in about two hours. Of course, if there is another If one person is paired with two horses, or even three horses, the speed will be faster, so unless it is an emergency where life and death are on the line, I am personally more inclined to listen to your ideas. After all, my shoulders are only that broad. A little bit, but I can’t bear such a big blame.”

"That's why I want to put an extra burden on you."

Liu Xing said with a smile: "After all, Tianshui Town is just that big, and there are many NPCs living in it, so some things are still inconvenient. After all, we have not completely distinguished players from NPCs! More The important thing is that there is no need to gather so many players in Tianshui Town. At the same time, I don’t need to say more about the three cunning rabbits, right? In short, I am ready to have a genuine branch in Boyang City and Far West City, as long as it is not a threat. When it comes to whether the alliance can continue to exist, the division can make its own decisions.”
