Chapter 8: No Superpowers, But ......
Chen Qiang has been remembering his "real" character card in the system in his heart.
[Name: Chen QiangAge: 47 Race: Human; Class: Secret Keeper]
[Health: 11/11 Mana: 14/14 Luck: 50/99 Sanity: 30/44]
Although it is not as exaggerated as Xiaoxue, Chen Qiang's own sanity is also not optimistic.
Chen Qiang estimated that the shock he received when he found out that this world was the world of Cthulhu, as well as the influence of the knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos, had reduced his sanity.
Knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos weakens the sanity limit.
[Power 65; Constitution 50; Body type 65; Dexterity 70; Appearance 65
Intelligence 75; Will 80; Education 70]
[Skills (except for a few special skills, only more than 35%):

[Mod: The King of Yellow in the Board Game Club (Module Growth: Speech +5%, Psychology +6%)]
[Touchstone: people of great significance.]
Chen Yangde (father)
Li Hua (mother)
Qin Lingxue (girlfriend)】
Compared with the original version shown by the system, in the version for Xiaoxue, Chen Qiang omitted the "touchstone" column related to the background of the character, changed the inexplicable profession "Secret Keeper" to a student, and then removed the credit level and Cthulhu Mythos skills, and did not count the skill growth of the first module.
In a traditional Cthulhu Run game, as long as you successfully use a skill once in a mod, there is a chance that the skill will increase at the end of the mod.
It's just that the system didn't show Chen Qiang how his skills increased, but directly gave the results, and Chen Qiang always suspected that the standard for the system's settlement growth was a little different from the regulations in the previous life running group game.
Compared with miscellaneous skills that do not exceed 80%, Chen Qiang's only 98% skill is particularly eye-catching......
[Credit Rating: 98%]
Credit rating skills determine the amount of money at the disposal of the investigator.
With the advantage of foresight, Chen Qiang has already used various means to accumulate huge assets unimaginable to outsiders.
It's just that Chen Qiang was used to being poor in his previous life, and he didn't want to show off at all, and continued to live the life of a poor student on the surface.
Few people know that Chen Qiang's strongest skill ...... In fact, it is his ability to make money.
……
Xiaoxue's eyes gurgled and rolled.
"You're yourself," she said, "then, I'm going to use myself for my role too!" ”
"Live card? What about the white-haired female swordsman who said yes? ”
"Do you want me to use a white-haired female swordsman more?"
"No, no...... I mean, Xiaoxue, please ......."
"I'll write about the attributes and skills based on my feelings."
"Okay, everything my dear Xiaoxue said is right."
"Do you say this from the heart?"
"Just let me read it when I'm done."
Anyway, Xiaoxue has always been impatient with things like throwing dice to determine random numbers, so it's better to teach her the normal card creation process next time.
"Fool. In real life, except for one or two things, everyone's skills will be more evenly distributed, and such characters are usually more wasteful in the game," Xiaoxue took out a pair of glasses from her bag and put them on, showing a kind of intellectual beauty, "The pursuit of intensity, of course, it is better to specialize in a certain type of skill to establish a character in the game." But I still choose to be myself. In this way, it is easier for you, as the host, to control the process of running the group, right? ”
…… So you know. Sure enough, Xiaoxue is the most considerate of me.
"How exactly is the formula for the skill test calculated?" Xiaoxue asked, "For example, I put my ear to a secret door and eavesdropped on the monster inside?" ”
How are some examples from Dungeons & Dragons...... Could it be that Xiaoxue is actually a martial arts faction who loves violence to solve problems?
"Lose a D100...... Well, it is to generate a random number of 1-100," Chen Qiang said, "and throw two ten-sided dice, representing ten and single digits respectively. If the result of the dice is lower than your skill value, it is a success. So the higher the skill, the better, and the lower the dice, the better. 1 represents great success, 100 represents doomed failure. Chen Qiang concisely finished the core of the rules.
"Hmmm......"
"For example, if your listening skill is 60 percent, and you score 50 points in the skill test, then your skill test result is 50/60, and the listening is successful," Chen said, "This is why the skill above 90 percent is so powerful." 99% that is almost impossible to fail. ”
"What is the use of this credit rating other than providing initial funding?"
"You can use this skill to borrow money, get a line of credit, or even ask the media to help you fight against unscrupulous trolls," Chen Qiang explained, "In short, you are willing to be my investigator...... Hey......"
Xiaoxue was already immersed in "evaluating" her own data, and she didn't hear Chen Qiang's next words at all.
Never mind.
There are two ways to invite someone to be an investigator in the "Cthulhu's Keepers" system, the first is to pay the same amount as the invitee's current sanity from the sanity pool (all investigators have lost sanity), and the second is to agree to be an investigator verbally or in writing (SMS, email, or messaging software).
Chen Qiang's current sanity pool is 50 points.
Not to mention that Xiaoxue's sanity value is only 5, she will definitely agree to the invitation to become an investigator. So, there's no hurry.
Looking at his girlfriend's attentive face, Chen Qiang couldn't help but smile.
"Huh?" The sudden ringing of the mobile phone interrupted Chen Qiang's imagination.
……
"It's me...... That's right," Chen Qiang, who walked quickly to the corner of the store to answer the phone, listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, "...... Yes, don't send it to the university town, tomorrow morning, at that address on the commercial street......"
"Whew."
Putting down the phone, Chen Qiang let out a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Xu."
From the halfway point of Chen Qiang's phone call, Uncle Xu, the owner of the ice cream shop, paced to his side, clasped his hands on his chest, waiting for him to finish the call.
"You haven't been working in the past few days." Uncle Xu said.
"Something," Chen Qiang said calmly, "Actually, in addition to dating Xiaoxue today, I also came to ask you to resign." I will ...... in the future. Won't come again. ”
"I'm sorry."
He bowed his head.
For Chen Qiang, part-time work is just a pastime.
"What do you apologize," Uncle Xu smiled dumbly, "You don't owe me anything." ”
Uncle Xu looked Chen Qiang up and down, and a worried look appeared.
"To be honest, I feel like you've changed a bit," he said, "and the last time you came here, you didn't wear so many name tags." ”
Chen Qiang listened silently.
"I already knew that you weren't really poor," Uncle Xu said, "but Xiao Chen, you listen to me rely on the old and sell the old......"
"Okay, Uncle Xu," Chen Qiang knew that once Uncle Xu started to say this "sentence", he was afraid that he would not be able to stop for half an hour, "I know the reason." I bought these famous brands, not for show, but for the needs of entrepreneurship. ”
"Entrepreneurship?" Uncle Xu was taken aback.
"Uncle Xu, why do you think I quit my job," Chen Qiang said, "I'm starting a business." On that phone call, the office supplies I had ordered were about to be delivered. ”
Chen Qiang has decided to register a new company to cover the system's future opening of the game lobby function.
"Where did you get the money?" Uncle Xu was even more surprised, "Could it be that you won the lottery?" ”
"Where did you think of it," Chen Qiang shook his head, "I got an angel investment." ”
"What project?"
"IT," Chen Qiang said with a smile, and he thought about his rhetoric, "Uncle Xu, you know that I like board games." It's kind of a ...... A project that combines board games and the Internet. ”
"Don't be fooled," Uncle Xu frowned, "You don't know how difficult it is for college students to start a business now." ”
"Don't worry." Chen Qiang said.
Anyway, it's not a business at all.
