Chapter 614: High Risk, High Return
But then again, as a lover of a certain bit of history, especially the Three Kingdoms, Liu Xing still knows that the "Taiping Technique" that Zhang Jiao got from Nanhua Laoxian in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is actually not the real "Taiping Technique", that is, the "Taiping Sutra" in the Taoist classics.
So what is the prototype of Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Technique"?
Zhuangzi's Nanhua Sutra.
Therefore, in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, many players believe that Zhuangzi is also one of the vests of the King of Yellow.
Of course, in the eyes of those players, all the historical figures related to yellow characters in Chinese history are the vests of the king of yellow clothes, such as the Yellow Emperor or something...
"If you have no other opinions, then I'll buy the treasure of that fanatic later?" Although this is not necessarily the copy of "Taiping Yaoshu" in Zhang Jiao's hand, even if we buy the original manuscript, it will be a lot of money for us, because I have heard that the original version of "Taiping Yaoshu" seems to have been lost. Zhang Jingxu said.
Liu Xing and the others nodded, and they all agreed to Zhang Jingxu's purchase plan.
So, Zhang Jingxu took enough work to go out again, but this time for the sake of insurance, Zhang Jingxu also brought King Kong and Arhat, after all, Heishishan Prison only prohibits fights between prisoners, so from time to time, there will be fanatics who take advantage of this to play black and eat black.
Anyway, you can't hit me, so it doesn't matter if you scold me.
Therefore, Zhang Jingxu must be prepared, if the other party plans to eat black, let King Kong and Luohan "invite" him back as a guest.
After Zhang Jingxu and the others left, Yin En said with a smile: "Actually, I'm still looking forward to this "Taiping Technique", because "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a miracle that blows this "Taiping Technique", what is a great spell to scatter beans into soldiers, and call for wind and rain, it would be great if we could also learn it." ”
In real-world Cthulhu Run games, players can learn a spell unconditionally many times, and only need to get the spellbook and learn enough time to use the spell.
However, in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, it may be that in order to improve the professionalism of mages, it makes it more difficult for players to learn spells, making it almost impossible for players of non-master classes to be self-taught, and players of mage classes also need to spend more time and energy to learn spells.
This is also the reason why Liu Xing and the others did not follow Zhang Jingxu to learn spells, because it was too troublesome, and they could use the fireball technique to light a cigarette in a short time...
"Wake up, it's still daytime." Zhang Wenbing opened his mouth and said: "I also had the opportunity to learn spells before, and I was also interested in learning spells, but unfortunately I was expelled from the sect within two days of going to apprenticeship, because I really didn't have the talent to learn spells. ”
"Me too." Peng Liyuan said with deep sympathy: "My father is also a well-known fortune teller in the local area, he can predict that I will have a bloody disaster a week in advance, or help people calculate where his missing son is now, but unfortunately I really can't learn his craft, otherwise I can now predict that there are those fanatical believers in the T area who are suitable for us to start." ”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and looked at Peng Lijin with a look of surprise, but he didn't expect his father to be a fortune teller.
You must know that this is a well-known hidden class in the game lobby of the Cthulhu Run Group, because the exclusive skill fortune-telling of this class is so strong that it can be directly renamed Future Sight.
This is much more reliable than the mysterious prophecy technique of Yoon Eun's other character, Ishikawa Ling.
However, I don't know if the Cthulhu Run game lobby also looked at some points when designing the fortune teller profession, so the Cthulhu Run game lobby added an exclusive debuff to the fortune teller profession: every time you use a fortune telling skill, regardless of success or not, you will permanently lose a certain attribute value.
Therefore, in Liu Xing's impression, there are only a handful of players who are classified as fortune tellers in the game hall of the Cthulhu Run Group, and they belong to the world's cherished protected animals, as long as they are not a last resort, other players will try their best to protect their safety.
It's a pity that as Peng Liyuan said, players who want to change careers to fortune tellers need talent very much... To put it bluntly, only true European Emperor players have a chance to succeed in changing classes, because it requires five consecutive big hits.
"Then you're really a pity, I've heard that some powerful fortune tellers can really see through the heavens and change their lives for another day." Ding Kun said enviously.
"yes...
As soon as Peng Li's words began, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded at the door, "Will you leave the Black Stone Mountain Prison in two days?" ”
Liu Xing turned his head to look and found that it was the old man with glasses who had worked with him who was talking at the door.
The old man continued, "I have heard about the amnesty, so I would like to ask if you are not covered by the amnesty, and if you are, I would like you to do me a favor after you leave the Black Rock Mountain Prison. ”
At this moment, KP Snail spoke: "Congratulations to all players for triggering the new side quest search notice, players can choose whether to accept this side quest, but here I give you a friendly reminder that the side quest belongs to the type of high risk and high return, and the side quest is limited to be completed within half a month, if it overtime, the side quest will automatically fail, and the penalty for failure will be that the side quest you complete later can only provide you with two-thirds of the contribution income." ”
After listening to KP Snail's words, Liu Xing and the others couldn't help but look at each other, because this side quest looked very difficult, and if it failed, it would also be punished extremely severely.
If each side quest only earns two-thirds of the income, then Liu Xing and the others will directly withdraw from the top of the leaderboard, after all, the rewards you get after completing three side quests can be the same as the rewards for players of the same level who complete two side quests.
And this side quest is still a task that can be completed in half a month... Although this is said to be half a month, it still has to remove the three days spent in Mt. Kuroishi and the two days needed to return to Osaka to rest, so the time that can really be used for this side quest is only ten days.
On top of that, this side quest may need to go to the territory of the public faction to complete, and if that is the case, then the difficulty of this side quest will be another notch.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that it was better for him to refuse this side quest for the sake of insurance, even if this side quest might bring him a rich reward.
But before Liu Xing could speak, Yin En preemptively said: "That's right, we will leave the Black Stone Mountain Prison in two days, so old man, you tell us first what you need our help with, if it's convenient, we'll be happy to help you, but if it's inconvenient, then we can't help." ”
The old man outside the door nodded, walked in and said, "No problem, the help I need from you is actually very simple, that is, after leaving the Black Rock Mountain Prison, I will find someone for me, and then tell him that the time is up." ”
Yin En raised his eyebrows, and said half-truthfully: "Old man, this sentence you asked us to bring is a bit interesting, will that person kill us after hearing it." ”
Liu Xing and the others nodded very cooperatively.
The old man shook his head and said seriously: "You guys are thinking too much, the person I want you to find is actually my unmasked grandson... I abandoned my wife and daughter in order to join a secret church, completely cut off contact with them, and when I finally became the head of the secret church, I wanted to reunite with them, but it turned out that my wife died of illness shortly after I left, and my daughter also died in a car accident after getting married and having children, so I am the only one who is related to my grandson. ”
"But just when I wanted to recognize my grandson, something happened, and the secret church I was in was on the verge of collapse, so I secretly sent my grandson some money and a key, and the key corresponded to a safe deposit box stored in a bank, but the safe needs to be opened with a password, and the password is hidden in the sentence I just said, as long as my grandson doesn't throw away the code book I gave him, he should be able to take out the contents of the safe."
"Oh, that safe should have hole cards in it that can make you make a comeback, right?" Yoon Eun guessed.
The old man sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, I thought that I would only be imprisoned in an ordinary prison, and I could get out after staying for more than ten or twenty years, but I didn't expect that I would be directly imprisoned in the ghost place of Black Stone Mountain Prison, and it would be impossible to leave Black Stone Mountain Prison in my lifetime, because no one else except you knew about the existence of my grandson, so I was not included in this amnesty order." ”
"Then why don't you report the situation to the top? I'm sure they'll consider letting you out of Blackstone Mountain Prison after they know you have a grandchild. Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
As a result, the old man hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not good, because although the secret church I am in has been destroyed, my enemies outside are still alive and well, so if I expose the fact that I have a grandson, then those damn bastards will definitely come to kill them all, so for the safety of my grandson's life, I can only choose to keep this secret and continue to stay in the Black Stone Mountain Prison." ”
"Then old man, do you believe in us like that? Don't you worry that we are also your enemies? Liu Xing then asked.
The old man smiled and said seriously to Liu Xing: "I'm really not worried about this, because I actually know a spell, this kind of spell can make my hearing focus on a certain point, so when I was in the brewing center, I heard the conversation between you and Murakami Xikang, and knew that you were not the person sent by my enemy, because my enemies had also sent people to the Black Stone Mountain Prison to get rid of me before, so if you were a person sent by my enemy, it would be impossible not to know my appearance, so I chose to come to you for cooperation." ”
Liu Xing frowned, he didn't expect that the conversation between himself and Murakami Xikang was actually listened to by this old man, and the most important thing was that he and Murakami Xikang also talked bad about this old man.
At this time, Yin En took over the conversation and said: "Okay, but do you know that the current island country has become a mess and is divided into two forces, the public faction and the martial faction, so it's not good for us to go to the territory of the hostile forces to help you talk." ”
"What, has the island nation become like this now?" The old man was surprised and said, "So be it, I will tell you the information of my grandson at this time, and if you stop by the way, you will go, if you don't stop by the way, forget it; Because my daughter is married to a Chinese, my grandson's name is Liu Xuyu, who lives in Tokushima Prefecture in Shikoku, and now if nothing else, he should have graduated from college, and his most obvious characteristic is that he has a very special family genetic disease, simply put, he has to go to the hospital every week to have his knee fluid removed. ”
"Is that all there is to it?" Yin En said with a frown.
The old man scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, there is only so much information I can provide you now, after all, so many years have passed, and some information may only be counterproductive even if I tell you." ”
"Well, if we have the opportunity to go to the Shikoku area, we will look for your grandson, but whether we can find it is another matter, after all, it is too difficult to find someone with this information, not to mention that those college students now choose to stay in a big city like Tokyo after graduation, so I suspect that he will not be in Shikoku for a long time." Yin Eun spoke.
Of course, the old man also understood this, so he hurriedly said: "Of course, it would be great if you could find my grandson, but it doesn't matter if you don't find it." ”
The old man paused and continued: "In order to thank you for your help, if you really find my grandson at that time, you can follow him to get the safe, and then you can take the rest of the things in the safe except for some gold, silver, jewelry and passbooks, after all, my grandson is an ordinary person, and he doesn't need those things." ”
It seems that the "those things" in the old man's mouth should be the reward for this side quest.
"Alright then, we'll try to find your grandson." Yin En nodded and said.
But as soon as the words fell, Yin En immediately contacted KP Snail, "KP, I just superficially agreed to that old man now, I don't really want to accept that side quest, you must not shake your hands." ”
