Chapter 1 The Cthulhu Run Game Lobby

Next Chapter

"It's no drama again."

Liu Xing looked at the text message on his mobile phone, sighed helplessly, then put down his mobile phone, lay on his back on the bed, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, studying medicine ruined my life."

Liu Xing, male, 22 years old, graduated from Rongcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, unemployed.

Half a month ago, Liu Xing had a quarrel with the director of the department, after all, Liu Xing was still young, and Liu Xing chose to resign in anger.

In the past half a month, Liu Xing has been going to major hospitals to find jobs, but because Liu Xing has just graduated and has not many relationships available, the result of job hunting is always "please go home and wait for news".

"Are you really going home?" Liu Xing found his father's phone number in the address book.

At the beginning of Liu Xing's graduation, Liu Xing's father originally wanted Liu Xing to stay at home to help, but Liu Xing chose to refuse, because Liu Xing didn't want to be so young, so he was fixed in a position, and he wanted to go out and break through.

"Okay, but I'll give you five thousand living expenses in the end, and you can earn your own money to support yourself in the future." At that time, Liu's father said: "If you can't get along, just come back honestly for me, and you can take over that clinic if you want."

"Forget it, it's only been more than two months to go back, it's too embarrassing." Thinking of this, Liu Xing still turned off his mobile phone, he knew his father's character, and he would be ridiculed for the rest of his life if he went back now.

"There are still a thousand left, which means that I will run out of food in another month at most." Liu Xing took out the last possessions from his wallet and looked at the ceiling wistfully.

"Alas, why do you want to do so much, LOL is up, it's time to abuse a wave of elementary school students to change their mood."

Just do it, Liu Xing propped himself up and turned on the computer.

An hour later, Liu Xing dropped the mouse with an unhappy face and looked at the computer speechlessly.

"It's only Monday today, so many elementary school students?!" Liu Xing's jungler caught three ways, and then his teammates sent them in various positions, and finally Liu Xing reluctantly played GG.

Liu Xing, who was speechless, closed LOL and planned to watch the new on the country's largest X** friend website - bilibili.

As a result, everything went wrong, station B blew up again, well, station B is not the first day of bombing.

"Grandpa is playing a small round book again." Liu Xing touched his chin and came to a correct conclusion.

"Forget it, I'd better go to the group to tease the girl." Liu Ziqi clicked on QQ.

"Didi, Didi."

As soon as it was launched, a pop-up window occupied most of Liu Xing's screen.

"I'll go, it's so undisciplined, and the advertisement has been so big for a long time." Liu Xing was taken aback by this super-large pop-up window.

"Come and play and get 100,000 RMB!" Liu Xing looked at the bright red characters in the pop-up window and was speechless for a while.

Liu Xing has not seen this kind of page game advertisement, after all, as a middle-aged person born in the 90s, he has never seen any online game advertising words, such as "Where is the greasy senior sister", "My wife can't play when she is at home", of course, there are many style advertisements like this, but this kind of advertisement directly boasts about 100,000 yuan in Haikou, Liu Xin is the first time to see it.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help muttering to himself, "This is a bit powerful, 100,000 yuan, okay, just rush at your advertisement, I'll try this advertisement, anyway, I won't suffer." ”

So, Liu Xing clicked "Join the game" under the slogan.

"Ding."

After a soft sound, Liu Xing's computer turned into a black screen.

"Holy!" Liu Xing couldn't help but let out a roar, "My 200g seeds, don't leave me." ”

Just when Liu Xinggang, who was heartbroken about the seeds in his computer, wanted to restart the computer, the computer automatically returned to its original state at this time, but Liu Xin noticed that there was an extra game icon on the computer desktop.

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Xing hurriedly clicked on a hidden folder, and the documents in it were all intact.

"Looks like it was just an automatic installation of the game?" Liu Xing looked at the strange game icon on the desktop, but this icon Liu Xin was somewhat familiar, it was Cthulhu's avatar.

Cthulhu is an evil existence in the Cthulhu Mythos created by American novelist Howard Philip Lovecraft (hereinafter referred to as the God of Love), with a head like an octopus, a face with countless tentacles, hands and feet with huge hooked claws, and cortical membrane wings like bats on the back.

And Liu Xin first came into contact with the Cthulhu Mythos when he was pulled to a board game room by a good friend of Liu Xin to observe a Cthulhu Run group.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin raised his eyebrows, and took a closer look at the title under the game icon, and it was really the same as Liu Xin thought.

"Cthulhu Run game lobby?"

Cthulhu Run Group game is simply a very popular board game in Europe and the United States, but unlike the popular domestic werewolf killing, Three Kingdoms killing and other board games, Cthulhu Run is a role-playing game, the feature of the game is that you can play your own role immersively, and within the scope of the rules, according to the player's respective actions to bring a variety of open-ended story development, such as in other games you encounter an enemy, you can only simply choose to defeat to continue to advance the plot, In Cthulhu's group game, you can choose to dodge the enemy, bribe the enemy, convince the enemy, or even take refuge in the enemy.

However, in the Cthulhu Run game, combat is never the main theme, because generally speaking, battle is equal to team annihilation, because the enemies that the player plays as an explorer are all mythical creatures!

Because the Cthulhu Run game is naturally based on a series of novels by the god of love, and these novels are collectively called the Cthulhu Mythos, and after the death of the god of love, there are also many authors who have written the Cthulhu Mythos with a fandom nature, and finally the Cthulhu Mythos has shaped a new mythological system - the Cthulhu Mythos system.

And Cthulhu, as the "façade" of this mythological system, is a respected deity among the old rulers of a major force in the Cthulhu mythological system, and belongs to the existence of symbolizing "water" in the "fire, wind, earth and water" faction, and is now sealed by another group of powerful forces hostile to it - the old gods, and now sleeps in the underwater city of Lalaye in the South Pacific, when affected by the cosmic phase or other external factors, Cthulhu's seal will automatically be unlocked and appear at sea, but because the seal is not completely broken, Therefore, Cthulhu cannot stay away from Laleier, and when the stars change again and the power of the seal is restored, Cthulhu will return to Laleye to continue to sleep, and when Cthulhu truly breaks the seal, time will be destroyed.

From the setting of Cthulhu, it can be seen that Cthulhu has the ability to destroy the world, and Cthulhu is not the strongest in the Cthulhu Mythos system, and in the setting of the Cthulhu Running Group, Cthulhu can unconditionally kill a random number of players, and Cthulhu's shooting speed is far greater than that of the player, so when the player encounters Cthulhu, he can basically wait for death.

Of course, Cthulhu must be a boss-level existence and will not appear casually, but there are still various mythical creatures under Cthulhu, and the weakest ones are even ghouls and deep divers (to put it bluntly, they are fishmen, but there are differences in some details), but no matter how weak the ghouls and deep divers are, they are equivalent to the world's boxing champions and fighting masters in terms of combat ability.

Of course, Liu Xing, who was still a newcomer at the time, once asked the friend who brought him into the pit, even if he was a martial arts master or a boxing champion, it was not a matter of being knocked down with one shot.

Liu Xing's friend smiled and told Liu Xing that you think too much, because most of the players in the Cthulhu Run game are ordinary people, and the special ones are policemen, detectives and the like, and the most important is a pistol in their hands, and although the freedom of the Cthulhu Run game is very high, all behaviors must be within the scope of the rules, for example, it is impossible for you to get a weapon such as a submachine gun as an ordinary person, and it is impossible to run around with a weapon casually, Moreover, ghouls and deep divers can crush ordinary humans in all their attributes.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, humans have no chance to defeat these mythical creatures, of course, there will be some individual cases, because the Cthulhu Run game is very free, and some teams will choose to customize some rules, such as adding some strange skills...

The specific form of the Cthulhu Run group game is divided into dough and net group, dough naturally refers to players getting together to play in reality, while network group refers to playing on the Internet through QQ and other communication applications and related tools, and the Cthulhu Run group game requires a lot of time and energy, a game of Cthulhu Run Group game is as short as one or two hours, and as long as several years, unlike Werewolf Kill and Three Kingdoms Kill, which can be opened in more than ten minutes, so there are not many players participating in the domestic Cthulhu Run Group game.

And most importantly, the Cthulhu Run game does not have a special online platform and mobile phone application like Werewolf Kill and Three Kingdoms Kill, which also leads to many lovers of the Cthulhu Run group game after Amway's success with friends, but helplessly find that they have no suitable place to play with friends, Liu Xing was like that, although I really want to try the Cthulhu Run game, but I have never had the opportunity to really participate in a Cthulhu Run game, after all, it is not easy to organize a dough, Because the participants need to take out a few hours at the same time, and there is also the embarrassment of not having a professional platform in terms of online groups.

And now, Liu Xing looked at the "Cthulhu Run Group Game Hall" on the computer desktop, and couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that he would encounter a platform specializing in Cthulhu Run Group games, which was really unexpected by Liu Xing.
