Liu Xing looked at his character card, and there was not much difference from the beginning, except that the SAN value was two points less, one more lock-picking skill, and psychology had grown a little.

Of course, because Liu Xing achieved a hidden ending, helped Isabella kill Gary, regain her freedom, and then dumped all the pots of the hundreds of disappearances, or murders, to Gary, so "himself" was rewarded by the Manchester police, and also received reports from the domestic media, and became famous for a while, so the credit got a temporary buff of +10.

As for the 139 points, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown and breathe a sigh of relief, after all, this means that he can stay in real time for more than four months, and then come to this damn Cthulhu Run game to die.

However, Liu Xing suddenly remembered one thing, that is, to say that the intermission growth was good, Liu Xing thought that it would be carried out in this game.

However, after Liu Xing closed the character card, a window popped up again, with dense options on it, it seems that this is the interface for intermission growth.

Liu Xing has a total of three opportunities for intermission growth, so Liu Xing can choose three options from these messy options as his intermission growth.

And Liu Xing took a cursory glance at these options, and found that it was indeed a real Cthulhu running group game, and all the options in the intermission growth were linked to money nine times out of ten...

To participate in an English course, you need 5000 cash to acquire skills in other languages: English, 5d6, accident rate 10%.

To participate in car driving training, you need 10,000 in cash, get skilled driving, value 5d8, accident rate 20%.

To join the New Western Cooking School, you need 3000 cash to gain cooking skills, with a value of 6d6 and an accident rate of 20%.

This kind of interlude growth belongs to the category of acquiring skills, to put it bluntly, it is to spend a lot of cash on character cards to obtain skills, which is a bit similar to buying skill books in other games to learn.

In addition, there is also the interlude growth of the advanced training class, which costs less cash on the character card, but there are some prerequisites that must be met to improve the existing skills of the character card, such as:

To participate in the hospital's overseas training, you need 1000 in cash, 70 in medicine, 1d6 in medical skills improvement, and 25% in accident.

Enter the emergency department, require 70 first aid, improve first aid skills by 1d6, and have an accident rate of 20%.

Self-taught speech, 500 in cash, 40 in persuasion, 1d4 in persuasion skills, and 5% in surprise.

In addition to the above two types of intermission growth, there is also a special type of intermission growth, and Liu Xing has nothing to say...

To get married on a blind date, you need 50,000 in cash, 500,000 in assets, have a regular occupation, you can get a spouse, and the accident rate is 50%.

To inherit a foreign inheritance, you need 10,000 in cash, and the next Cthulhu Run game will be played abroad, and you will get assets of 1d1,000,000 with an accident rate of 50%.

To change occupations, you need 20,000 in cash, and you need other professional skills to reach more than 50, you can change to this profession, and the accident rate is 0%.

To receive psychological treatment, you need 10,000 in cash, and the SAN value is required to be more than 50 points, and the SAN value of 2d3 can be restored, and the accident rate is 0%.

Although the special type of interlude growth of blind date marriage seems very unreliable, according to the help, Liu Xing found that the spouse is very important to the player, because the player who has a spouse can directly recover the SAN value of 1d3 every time he grows in the intermission, and the value of a random skill grows by 1 point, and in some special mods, the player can choose to take the spouse to play together, which is equivalent to one more helper, but when the spouse dies, the player will also lose the SAN value of 2d6.

Of course, in addition to growing up through the interlude of the special category of blind date marriage, players can also fall in love with NPCs in the game and get married.

As for inheriting a foreign inheritance, to put it bluntly, it is gambling, but as a price, in addition to the possible loss, you must also play a game of Cthulhu Run abroad, and visually it is a random country, in case it is thrown into a remote African country such as Equatorial Guinea, or a country at war such as Syria, then the fun will be great.

As for the accident rate mentioned at the end of each interlude, to put it bluntly, it is the possibility of triggering an unexpected event, which is good and bad, for example, when attending an English training class, a good accident may be that you are talented and learn English by leaps and bounds, so in the end your other language: English value will be 10d6; As for the bad accidents, it is possible that you sign up for a fake English course, and the next day the English course runs away, so you don't get another language: English.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Liu Xing decided to be on the safe side, and chose to "enter the emergency department", "participate in English training classes", and "participate in car driving training".

According to the most accepted saying in Cthulhu Run game circles today, when you reach 90 points in any skill, it means that you have reached the level of a first-generation grandmaster in this field, so you gain self-confidence, and your SAN value will naturally increase.

Although Liu Xing has always felt that such a statement is a bit unreliable, everyone said so, and Liu Xing agreed with this statement.

PS: Today's second shift time, let it be.
