Chapter 388: Language Barrier

At this time, a female voice sounded, "Hello everyone, I am the KP of this mod, named Xuefeng, I hope all players can successfully clear this promotion mod." ”

Wait, Yukikaze?!

Liu Xing was shocked, he didn't expect that the KP of this module would be called such an auspicious name, and as soon as he came, he blessed himself to be able to clear this module, so it seems that if nothing else, his promotion to the module this time will be cool.

"Well, I know that some players may have a little misunderstanding of my name, so please don't be too superstitious, this snow wind is not the other snow wind, and it will definitely not be auspicious for everyone." KP Xuefeng said helplessly.

After a few seconds, KP Yukikaze continued: "Okay, let's get down to business, this mod is actually a special mod, simply put, this mod does not have a real main quest, but is composed of multiple side quests, so when the player completes a side quest, they will get a certain 'truth' point, and when the 'truth' point reaches 100 points, the player can clear this module and get 1500 points, of course, completing the side quest will also get the corresponding point reward." ”

"As for the secret room time that players are most concerned about, this mod is set like this, each player only has two chances to initiate the secret room time, and each secret room time can last for ten minutes, of course, the player dialogue during the secret room time cannot be heard by NPCs or mythical creatures, otherwise there will be a super-travel punishment, I hope you can pay attention to these details."

"That's right, because this mod takes place near Rongcheng in Huaxia, so the security situation in Huaxia should be very clear to all players, so some of your players' portable props have been automatically eliminated, and players can check it in the props interface after returning to the real world, okay, now players please get ready, we are going to officially start the game."

As soon as KP Xuefeng's voice fell, Liu Xing found himself sitting in a bus, Ishikawa Ling was sitting next to him, and it was pouring rain outside the window, and Liu Xing couldn't see the situation outside the car at all.

Liu Xing looked around and found that he and Ishikawa Ling were sitting at the back of the bus, and Zhang Jingxu was sitting in front of him, and there was a tourist in the middle and front of the bus, and standing next to the driver's seat were the driver and the female tour guide.

According to the memory of "Watanabe Meteor", because everyone did not have a driver's license, and there was no fixed shuttle bus to the mountain where the ancient man was located, "Zhang Jingxu" proposed to take a bus of a certain tour group to the destination, and then because it was currently the off-season for tourism, there were only two tourists on the bus in addition to the three of them.

Twenty minutes ago, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening, the bus was driving normally on the highway, but suddenly it rained heavily, resulting in a landslide in front of it, which completely blocked the highway, so the driver immediately found an intersection to get off the highway in order to ensure safety, and came to the place where the bus is currently staying after crossing a bridge.

At this time, the female tour guide said: "Tourists, because there are only two umbrellas prepared in the car, so now I and the driver will get off the bus first to seek the help of the locals and arrange accommodation for the tourists tonight, so please stay in the car for the time being to avoid accidents." ”

After speaking, the female guide and driver left the bus with umbrellas.

In this way, the remaining two visitors are all players.

"Mr. Zhang Jingxu, I just said don't worry, we won't encounter these things when we leave the next day." Ishikawa Ling said to Zhang Jingxu with a smile.

Originally, "Watanabe Meteor" and "Ishikawa Ling" were going to set off early tomorrow morning, but because "Zhang Jingxu" insisted on visiting the old man as soon as possible, because the ancient man's whereabouts were erratic, maybe because he was so late for an hour or two, he would not be able to see the old man, so "Zhang Jingxu" forcibly pulled "Watanabe Meteor" and "Ishikawa Ling" into the car.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head helplessly, turned around and said: "What can I do, I'm also desperate now, who would have thought that there would be a sudden rainstorm at this time, and it would also cause a landslide, but this time it's not because I want to help you visit that ancient person, otherwise we wouldn't have encountered these things." ”

was suddenly thrown by Zhang Jingxu with a pot, Liu Xing said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, I can't carry this pot, but looking at the current rain, I'm afraid it won't stop until tomorrow morning." ”

At this time, the player sitting at the front also stood up and walked to the middle of the bus to chat with another player, but then Liu Xing realized that he couldn't understand what they were saying at all, although Liu Xing knew that they were communicating in Huaxia.

Worst.

Liu Xing then remembered that after arriving in the Shogoth area, players will begin to have a "language barrier", if the player uses a character card without corresponding language skills, they will not understand what the other party is saying at all.

Therefore, because Liu Xing's character card is from the island country, and he has not learned the skill of "other languages: Huaxia", Liu Xing will definitely not be able to communicate with those two players now.

But fortunately, the character card used by Zhang Jingxu happens to be in Chinese and island Chinese, so in this module, Zhang Jingxu had to play the role of a translator.

Of course, this is not good news for Liu Xing, after all, the main language in this module must be Huaxia, so it is difficult for "yourself" who does not understand Huaxia to move an inch in this module, let alone search for information, and the information obtained is second-hand information, which needs to be translated by Zhang Jingxu, if Zhang Jingxu's translation is biased, then things will be even more troublesome.

Ishikawa Ling also realized this problem, so he smiled and said to Zhang Jingxu: "Zhang Jingxu, it seems that we need you to be our translator later, after all, Meteor and I don't know Huaxia." ”

Zhang Jingxu sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said: "No problem, when I invited you to come to Huaxia, I was already mentally prepared, but you should not have too high expectations for my translation level, after all, my island Chinese can only be said to be average, and some things may be translated strangely." ”

Liu Xing nodded, it seems that Zhang Jingxu's "other languages: island Chinese" skill value should be about 50, can skillfully use island Chinese for conversation, but can not do anything about some more obscure or professional words.

Looks like the mod is in trouble this time.

Liu Xing and the three looked at each other.

At this time, the other two players also ended the conversation and came over and said, "@♂▲♚... ”

Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling were both confused when they listened.

"These two came to introduce themselves, the tall and thin one is called Li Dian, a local forensic doctor in Rongcheng; And this somewhat dark one is called Wanzhongshan, and he is a geologist from Xishan, and I have already told them about your situation. Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth to translate.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, the player configuration this time is quite interesting, there will be a "rare profession" of forensic doctors and geologists.

In the USB flash drive that Yin En gave himself yesterday, the first message Liu Xing saw was "about the career rating in the Cthulhu Running Group game", in which forensic medicine is considered to be an intermediate profession that can be used, and geologists are not popular professions that are "not as good as re-driving a card".

The reason for this rating is that in the Cthulhu Run game, the player's skill points are divided into two categories - career skill points and interest skill points, generally speaking, the player's skill points will be much higher than the interest skill points, but the skill skill points can only be pointed on the relevant skills of the class.

Therefore, it can be said that a skill like a geologist will not be used in most mods at once, and even if it is used, it will not have a good effect.

Therefore, the professional skills of geologists can be said to be very cost-effective.

In the same way, the professional skills of forensic doctors can only be said to be relatively general, although they can use their skills on many occasions, but the effect they can play is also very average, and some skills need to be used with relevant props.

So, professions like forensic doctors and geologists can be considered "endangered professions" in the Cthulhu Run game, firstly, almost no players will choose to create character cards for this kind of profession, and secondly, this kind of character cards basically can't survive a single mod...

Therefore, Liu Xing is now looking at Li Dian and Wan Chongshan with some surprise, he didn't expect that he would encounter two "endangered professions" at the same time in the promotion module, and Liu Xing didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.

All in all, Liu Xing felt that he should be mentally prepared for the disadvantage of being a teacher.

Under Zhang Jingxu's translation, everyone chatted quite happily, but Liu Xing also noticed something strange at this time, that is, the female tour guide and driver have not come back yet.

Roughly calculated, it has been almost 20 minutes since the female guide and the driver left the bus, and it stands to reason that regardless of whether they have found the help of local villagers, they should also come back to inform the news.

Although Liu Xing guessed at the beginning that the female tour guide and the driver were two cannon fodder NPCs who would be killed by the plot, Liu Xing didn't expect the plot to come so quickly, and he solved the female tour guide and driver directly at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing told Zhang Jingxu his guess, "Zhang Jingxu, why haven't the driver and tour guide come back yet, will something happen to them?" ”

Zhang Jingxu frowned, first habitually translated Liu Xing's words to Li Dian and Wan Chongshan, and then expressed his opinion, "It seems that the driver and tour guide may really have an accident, after all, it is easy to have problems with such heavy rain." ”

At this time, the rain outside the car window suddenly became lighter, and Liu Xing could finally see the surrounding situation clearly.

The bus is parked in the middle of the town's streets, flanked by rows of close-knit three-story buildings, with stores on the first floor and houses on the second and third floors.

At this time, lights suddenly appeared on the second floor of the building on the left side of the bus.

"Look, there's a light over there." Liu Xing opened his mouth and said.

Zhang Jingxu nodded, and said with some confusion: "Then what now, why don't we go over and knock on the door of that household, maybe the tour guide and driver are there?" ”

Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling naturally agreed with Zhang Jingxu's idea, after all, everyone has already cooperated on a module, and they still trust each other very much, so they reached a cooperation without saying much.

After discussing with Zhang Jingxu for a while, Li Dian also agreed to act with Zhang Jingxu, as for Wan Chongshan, he said that he would stay in the bus first, and then wait for the tour guide and driver for a while.

So, Liu Xing and the four of them braved the heavy rain to run under the bright building and knocked on the rolling shutter door on the first floor.

While waiting for the owner's response, Liu Xing couldn't help but look at the bridge where the bus passed.

According to one of the laws of the Cthulhu Run game, an important passage like the bridge, which links to the outside world, will definitely break for various reasons, so now Liu Xing is very curious about how this bridge will break.

However, Liu Xing already has some conjectures, although the background of the story of this mod is a question mark, but some clues can still be seen from the name of the mod.

Old town.

Liu Xing can be sure that the "old days" here does not refer to the old day ruler, after all, this module is only a module in the Shogoth area, and it is impossible for the old day to be the ruler.

Therefore, Liu Xing believes that the "old days" in the name of the module are likely to represent the meaning of "past" or "ancient", because the building in front of Liu Xing now looks very old, and the roller shutter doors are already rusty.

Therefore, Liu Xing thinks that the bridge should be in disrepair and broken under the heavy rain.

At this moment, the roller shutter door was opened, and a man who looked to be about twenty years old and had a plain appearance looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

Because Zhang Jingxu was responsible for translating Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling, Li Dian volunteered to talk to the man.

"The man's name is Hu Cang, he is a local, and he is willing to provide us with food and lodging tonight." Zhang Jingxu translated succinctly.

Liu Xing nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the car and bring the luggage over first, in case the car leaks, it won't be good." ”

According to another law of the Cthulhu Run game, vehicles will basically be damaged for various reasons when trapped on the "island", so it is best not to put important items in vehicles.

So, leaving Li Dian to continue to communicate with Hu Cang about the details, Liu Xing and the three ran back to the bus to take away their luggage.

As for Wan Chongshan, he said that he would wait on the bus for a while.

At this moment, KP Yukikaze smiled and said, "Okay, now players, please make an inspiration decision. ”

Inspiration?

A trace of uneasiness welled up in Liu Xing's heart.
