Late at night.

After sending Xiaoxue back to the dormitory, Chen Qiang hurried to the hospital and contacted the police station by the way.

From the beginning to the end of the mod, Du Yingfei and the thief who "accidentally got involved in the mod" only lasted less than five minutes together, and they both passed out due to excessive fright, and Chen Qiang also received a prompt of [Unlock the Secret Game Hall].

Well, sure enough, it is very dangerous for the investigator to be alone, and there is no one to take care of him if he has a temporary mental disorder.

Du Yingfei was simply frightened and did not suffer any serious injuries, and the doctor said that he would recover fully after a few days of recuperation. Under Tu Lizhu's constant comfort, Chen Qiang saw that his SAN had recovered by 1 point.

Although the loss of sanity may cause a lasting psychological shadow, even in the most classic background of the Cthulhu Run game - the United States in the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, the investigator can slowly recover after the end of the mod, and in the modern era with better conditions, the investigator has every chance to recover faster.

The thief's condition was slightly more serious, and he had to be taken to a detention center after being discharged from the hospital.

Ordering the consultation fee to be counted on his head, Chen Qiang left the hospital.

……

Uncle Xu's van.

"Are you alright?"

Uncle Xu looked worriedly at Chen Qiang, who was slumped in the back seat of the car.

"It's okay," Chen Qiang shook his hand, "I'm not you, it's okay to stay up all night in a row." ”

Staying up all night with mythical creatures, unless he can't think about it......

After shaking his head to keep himself awake, Chen Qiang looked at his mobile phone and clicked on the "Cthulhu's Secret Keeper" APP.

【Secret Game Lobby】

[Unlock the Secret Game Lobby to receive a set of Investigator's Mythic Technology Reality Device.] Detecting that you already own the device, do you choose to forfeit the reward and instead receive a random Investigator talent or a Secret Keeper talent? 】

"I choose talent." Chen Qiang did not hesitate.

[Obtained Investigator Talent: Burning Lucky.] 】

[After you pass the sanity or skill check, you can spend your luck points to change the result, and the points will be deducted from your luck points.] Warn! You don't have the talent to "regain your luck", and burning luck can cause your luck to be permanently reduced and affect outside of the mod! 】

“……”

It stands to reason that it's a good ability, but why can't you be happy?

Burning Luck can turn a failed check into a success, but at the cost of a permanent deduction of your own luck. Chen Qiang's luck is only 50, and he can't withstand a few burns at all.

"You can't use it until it's a matter of life and death." Chen Qiang immediately made a decision.

【Secret Hall Mission】

Hey, there's still a mission?

[Mission name: A small goal.]

Difficulty: Lower races

Mission Description: Run the "Fortress of Reason" company and earn a net profit of one hundred million ($).

Bonus: 1% increase in credit rating]

There must be something wrong with the "......" system's understanding of difficulty.

A 100 million dollar knife is extremely difficult even for Chen Qiang - it is estimated that the system will not let him play tricks - not to mention that this is not net assets, but net profits.

Although Migo technology and ISS technology are unparalleled on the earth, Chen Qiang does not dare to show it with great fanfare!

[Mission Name: More Offerings...... Well, more investigators

Difficulty: Superior race

Mission Description: Have 20 investigators, completed 4/20]

So what does this task mean when it's more difficult than the previous one? And what about the rewards for this task?

[Mission Name: Clear the level!]

Difficulty: Unique

Mission Description: As a Secret Keeper or Investigator, the exploration rate in any mod reaches more than 75%, including Trials. 】

Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

These tasks are basically guiding him to use the Secret Keeper function normally.

The "Keeper of Cthulhu" measure of difficulty is the "Lower Race" - the "Superior Race" - the "Sole Being" (powerful beings with near-immortal life, but not yet possessed true divinity) - the "Old Dominator" - the "Outer Gods".

Luckily, there are no quests to explore haunted houses or mysterious caves.

Probably the system realized that even if such a task was released, Chen Qiang, who had the right to trigger the mod, would run over it with his money ability......

As for the last two tasks, Chen Qiang didn't write rewards, and Chen Qiang didn't take it to heart.

Perhaps, the reward will be determined by the style of the task completed?

[Management Trial Equipment (currently 5 in total)]

[With the Mythic Device, you can let the investigator enter the trial space and trigger some mods that cannot be triggered in the real world]

[The loss of sanity in the trial space will not be directly fed back to the real sanity, but when the investigator finishes the trial, a unified sanity test will be carried out based on what he or she encountered in the module]

【Warning! Once the investigators discover the nature of the trial space, it could trigger a loss of sanity on a larger scale! 】

[Half of the virtual sanity lost in the trial space will enter the sanity pool]

[As an example, in the trial space, when an investigator with a sanity 90 loses 90 sanity and fails the trial, 45 points will be added to the secret keeper's sanity pool.] 】

[Non-investigators can also use the Trial Space, but they cannot accumulate the Wisdom Pool]

“…… I knew that the company was called the main god company. Chen Qiang muttered.

"What?" Uncle Xu didn't understand.

"Seriously, Uncle Xu, you should watch more online articles and anime, otherwise there will be a generation gap with Lei Lei in the future......"

"Oh......" Uncle Xu continued to be unconscious.

"At least," Chen Qiang closed his eyes and recuperated, anyway, Uncle Xu couldn't understand, "this won't be absolutely beyond his means." ”

The ratio of sanity in the pool of sanity to the investigator is two to one. If this continues, the total amount of reason will inevitably become less and less.

Now that I have room for trial, I can finally accumulate more sanity on the premise of protecting the general safety of the investigators.

"If Xiaoxue still has to go to Arkham in the end, until then," Chen Qiang meditated, "I must accumulate enough sanity pools to try to restore Xiaoxue's and my own sanity, as well as the number of times 'Farewell Heavenly God' is used." ”

"I have the right to trigger the mod, but even if I don't trigger the mod, the mythical creatures won't stay there, I just have the initiative."

"After analyzing it like this, it's best to screen out a group of qualified investigator teammates to assist me and Xiaoxue, after all, it's Arkham."

"Hmm......"

……

The next day. The first day of the Qingming holiday.

In the activity room of the board game club.

Xiaoxue looked at the message sent by Chen Qiang, crying and laughing.

[I overslept...... I heard that a few more people are coming to run with you today on my "Summer Weird" group? I can't get up, cooing today...... I'll pass you the information on the opening of the group later.,Anyway, Xiaoxue, you've learned the rules.,Or you should be the secret keeper yourself......]

Xiaoxue looks down, and the following is the content of the mod "Summer Strange Talk":

"The core puzzle of the story: the monster attacks the ice cream merchant and transforms into his ......"

Xiaoxue sighed.

"What's wrong?" On the side, Bai Shaobao, who was eager to run the group, asked. He built a hunter card that matched his ancestral identity.

"The secret keeper stayed up for two nights in a row, and he couldn't get up, and he cooed."

“……”

I really didn't expect that Chen Qiang was also a pigeon spirit.

"So if you don't mind," Xiaoxue quickly finished browsing the mod, "Are you willing to let me act as the host?" ”
