"That's right."

Alice sighed and said with a smile: "This is actually a standard plot, a treasure seems to have extremely strong power, which can meet any requirements of the owner, but there is no free lunch in this world, and in the end, the owner will still pay for it, maybe this price is more than what he gets." ”

Liu Xing nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, how can there be a free lunch in this world, as a young man born in the nineties in China, we are well aware of a truth, that is, free games are the most expensive games." ”

"Yes!"

Hearing Liu Xing say this, Li Hanxing immediately came to his senses and said: "Although the routine of free games was not invented by Huaxia Game Company, it was carried forward by Huaxia Game Company, and the one-handed in-app purchase system has raised the krypton level of the entire game by several grades, so that the revenue of free games exceeds those games with a point card charging model... I think that when I was a bear child with a monthly pocket money of only double digits, I spent money every day to go to the Internet café to enrich the game experience for those kryptonite bosses, and now I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. ”

At this time, even Sun Huiwen, who has never liked how to complain, said: "Yes, especially in the current era of mobile games, free games have basically become the mainstream of the industry, and each game seems to be able to be played without spending money, but if you want to have fun, you have to spend money, otherwise you will be stuck a few times in each activity, and as a result, you will charge some money for each activity, and finally find that you have charged one or two thousand for a mobile game, but you are reluctant to spend dozens or hundreds of dollars to buy a buyout game." ”

"So it's still the first in the world for my blue route, and the gacha experience is one of the best in the mainstream mobile games at present, and the revenue is basically made by selling skins, and I am just that kind of skin quality, and sure enough, it's still the blue route that understands people's hearts." Liu Xing said with a smile.

Looking at Liu Xing and the others who suddenly chatted and went off topic, Alice looked confused.

After all, as an Englishman, it should be difficult for Alice to understand the development route of the Chinese game.

"Ahem, we'll talk about the game here, now let's get back to the point."

Liu Xing looked at Alice and said, "So according to the first half of the legend you told Alice, the treasure that Oda Nobunaga obtained can make people gain extremely strong power, but the price to pay for this is a curse that will threaten the life of the owner?" ”

Alice nodded and continued: "That's right, that treasure can nominally change the owner's luck, make the owner go well in a short period of time, and can reverse the situation in the face of a desperate situation, and put it to death and come back to life, but after the experience period, the owner needs to throw a coin every day, if the coin is positive after landing, then the owner will continue to get good luck, but if the coin is negative after landing, then the owner will be unlucky, But the most important thing is that if the coin stands up when it lands, the owner will die. ”

When Liu Xing and the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, because in the eyes of players like them, this treasure has a very typical Cthulhu running style - luck determines fate, and if this is the case, then it seems that Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi both failed in the end that year.

It's a pity that Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi in this parallel world should be just NPCs, so they can't get a reminder from the Cthulhu Run game lobby like the players, and they may be dying and still begging for that treasure to bring them good luck, so that they can fight against the 10,000 rebels of Akechi Mitsuhide with one enemy and one hundred soldiers, or let themselves return to the light at the last moment and recover from their illness.

"By the way, according to our current speculation about this legend, the good luck that the owner got at the beginning is actually overdrawing his future luck, so when the coin finally stands up, all the bad luck before will rush to the owner, so Oda Nobunaga will suddenly encounter the rebellion of Akechi Mitsuhide, and he will be buried directly in the fire of Honnoji Temple, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is seriously ill, but he still survives for a while, but the most important thing is that if the owner does not repay the luck debt owed before, Then the owner's family will replace him, which is the main reason for the rapid decline of the Oda family and the Toyotomi family after the death of the head of the family. ”

Alice thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I heard that the old tortoise Tokugawa Ieyasu also got that treasure after taking the world, but he didn't choose to use that treasure, because he knew what happened to the first two owners of this treasure, and as a result, he was able to die a good death, establish the Tokugawa shogunate and get the world of the island country." ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said: "In this way, I think the end of that legend should be that Tokugawa Ieyasu returned that treasure to Zhao and returned it to the Oda family, or buried it in the Oda family's base camp - Nakono Castle, which is now the Nagoya area." ”

"That's right, Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that the treasure was not very lucky, so he decisively chose to put the treasure back in Nakono Castle, and built a new castle tower, that is, an island-style castle to store this treasure, and this is today's Nagoya Castle, although Nagoya Castle was damaged in the war, but the secret room used to store the treasure has not been found." Alice smiled and said: "That's right, this treasure should still be in Nagoya Castle if nothing else, and Nagoya Castle is on the territory of the public faction, as for the most important point, the fire brigade that is mainly responsible for fire safety in Nagoya Castle is across the river!" ”

Liu Xing and the three nodded, all with the same expressions.

"A lot of things make sense now, if we are not mistaken, the reason why the public faction blew up this bridge today is to delay time to ensure that they can set fire to Nagoya Castle smoothly, and then they can take advantage of the chaos to open the secret room to get that treasure, and then use that treasure to defeat the samurai faction and gain control of Nagoya." Alice said seriously.

Liu Xing looked in the direction of Nagoya Castle, frowned and said: "This is really calculating, something that can't be touched and seen like luck is indeed a big killer, because other things our martial arts faction has ways to guard against, but luck is really unguardable, and if you only use this once, then the side effects of that treasure are only for that person, which means that the public faction can be exchanged to Nagoya Castle as long as they send a substitute for the dead, then this is simply blood earning; As for the use of this treasure in the subsequent battle of Gongwu, then the price that the Gongjia faction needs to pay is only a family, which is nothing to them at all. ”

Speaking of which, Liu Xing actually had some doubts in his heart, because Liu Xing knew very well that the game hall of the Cthulhu Run Group should not have such a buggy prop as the ability, after all, such props seriously affected the balance of the game, and the cost and output were not proportional at all, so Liu Xing estimated that there were likely to be other restrictions on this treasure.

As a result, as soon as Liu Xing's voice fell, Alice gave Liu Xing an answer, "You can actually rest assured about this Liu Xing, because it is still the previous sentence, there is no free lunch in the whole world, and some treasures can not be used by stinky fish and shrimp, after all, treasures of this level can pick their own masters, so according to our guesses, this treasure should only be used by people who have atmospheric luck themselves, because Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were two before they got this treasure, All reflect their own luck is very good. ”

"For example, in the most critical battle in Oda Nobunaga's life - the Battle of Barrel Sasama, luck was completely on the side of Oda Nobunaga, who was at an absolute disadvantage, which allowed Oda Nobunaga to raid Imagawa Yoshimoto successfully and obtained a valuable development opportunity, otherwise the Oda family would have to become history in advance; As for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's luck, it was even better, although many people attributed his success to his ability to read words and sycophants, but we also have to say that his luck was good enough to meet Oda Nobunaga, a good boss, and the time and location of this good boss's sudden death were just right. ”

Hearing this, Li Hanxing touched his chin and said, "This is interesting, if it is really as Alice said, then who will the public faction choose to sacrifice?" A person with atmospheric luck like this must at least be the number one person in the public faction no matter how you say it now, right? ”

First of all, there is an elimination here, that is, the player cannot be the owner of the artifact.

The reason is simple, if this treasure is held and used by a player, then that player is bound to become the undisputed number one on the contribution list, and the price he needs to pay is not too big, because isn't it just a character card for himself? What's more, this character card can also be resurrected through the resurrection mod, so the Cthulhu Run game lobby will definitely add a restriction to this treasure, that is, only NPCs can use it.

Therefore, if the speculation about this treasure is correct, then the NPCs that can use this treasure should be limited to a range - the leader of the ten major forces of the public faction.

Of course, this range may be widened a bit, but not too much.

So the question is, the leader of the public faction will know that there are tigers in the mountains, and they will prefer the tigers?

Liu Xing estimated that it couldn't be those big families in the public faction, because this treasure would harm the family, so those big families should not want their families to die... Although the Oda family and the Toyotomi family are still emaciated camels bigger than horses, and they can be among the top ten forces of the samurai faction and the public faction, the reason why they are able to do so is actually to balance the balance between the family and the secret church.

Otherwise, the Oda family would not have been dealing with the death of Oda Eiji, and the thunder would be loud and the rain would be small.

So if nothing else, the person in charge of this treasure should be a high-ranking person of some secret church.

"So what do we do now? I don't think we can let this treasure fall into the hands of the public faction so easily, otherwise we don't know how we might lose at that time. Sun Huiwen asked.

Liu Xing thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Then what else can we do, of course we can only wait and see what happens, and then we will talk about it, if there is a chance, we will stop the arson of the public faction, or directly ambush outside to wait for work, and wait until they take out the treasure before doing it, but it is definitely not enough to rely on a few of us." ”

Alice understood, nodded and said, "I have already told Zhang Jingxu about this possibility, if nothing else, Zhang Jingxu and they should act with us at that time." ”

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's continue to have breakfast now, after breakfast, we will prepare it, and then go to Nagoya Castle." ”

After breakfast, Alice specially prepared a loose dress for Liu Xing to hide the reality that Liu Xing had lost his shadow.

Then, Liu Xing and the others started their own day trip to Nagoya, visiting various attractions under the control of the public faction.

So in the afternoon, Liu Xing and others came to Nagoya Castle.

The castle towers of the island countries are basically the same, after all, the castle towers are the same as the castles in Europe, they are not only the residence of the local lords, but also a defensive fortress, so the system used is a set of templates with the highest defensive power at that time, so except for the difference in the number of layers, there are basically only some differences in other details.

And this castle tower in Nagoya is as famous as the castle tower in Osaka, so Liu Xing, who has been to the Osaka castle tower several times before, quickly figured out the general structure of Nagoya Castle.

"Since Nagoya Castle was damaged and rebuilt without being found, it means that this secret room should be underground, after all, the underground is also the safest place for the ancients, after all, whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, rich people like to bury their gold, silver and jewelry in the ground for later use." Liu Xing looked at his feet and said, "But we have now turned around the area of Nagoya Castle that is open to the public, but we haven't found any places where there may be a downward passage. ”

Li Hanxing on the side nodded, took his mobile phone and said: "That's right, I turned on the detector in my bag after entering Nagoya City, and I didn't find any secret rooms in the places we passed, and I didn't encounter any interference signals, so if our guess is not wrong, then there is only one possibility now, this secret room is not a secret room in the general sense." ”
