Chapter 70: Christmas Carnival on a Luxury Cruise Ship

"Xiaoxue knows that I am related to the supernatural, and sooner or later she will guess that the source of the virtual technology I used to 'start a business' is related to the existence of myths," Chen Qiang meditated while wearing a helmet, "I didn't expect this day to come so quickly." ”

[Christmas Carnival on the "Haneda" Cruise Ship] The difficulty is "variable" - Unknow (Unknow), a difficulty display that Chen Qiang has never seen.

Does this mean that the mod is resilient, i.e. the stronger the investigator as a player, the harder the mod becomes?

It's possible. But after thinking about it, Chen Qiang still decided to directly discharge the strongest lineup he could currently use in this random trial module.

With a group of stunned newcomers squeezing out their virtual sanity, this kind of thing can be done at any time.

It's like hitting the ladder, climbing the ladder with four pits in the dark is certainly cool, and it is more reliable to fight with four strong teammates.

himself, plus Uncle Xu and Gu Shiyin, his only two mythological creature investigators, and finally two foreign professionals.

Getting closer? Workout team?

None of this is as important as ensuring that the module is completed smoothly.

Mods getting harder? The stronger the team, the richer the cards that can be played.

Chen Qiang didn't want to be a nanny for a novice investigator in the key "random trial module".

……

Gu Shiyin skillfully put on the helmet.

As a technician at the "Fortress of Reason", she has been doing a reverse analysis of the device for two weeks, and is naturally familiar with how it is used.

On the contrary, it was the simple Uncle Xu, who rarely touched high-tech gadgets, and it took a lot of effort for him to put on the helmet with the help of Xiaoxue.

……

"Strange device......" Sayoko fiddled with the rudimentary virtual helmet in her hand.

This one...... Is it really okay?

How do you look at it, it's all an ordinary game console from MADEINCHINA, plus a VR headset with some materials, right?

No matter how you look at it, it's quite unreliable......

Previously, Sayoko suspected that Chen Qiang was connected with some kind of mythical creature, but now when she saw the "Four Princesses" and VR headset on the table, she began to suspect that Chen Qiang was not a member of some suspicious organization, but a liar who simply fooled people.

"Xiaoxue ......" Xiao Yazi wanted to mumble something, but saw Qin Lingxue on the side helping Uncle Xu put on the helmet and put the helmet on his head without hesitation.

All right...... Xiaoxue only thought about Chen Qiang in her heart.

Sayoko, who had no choice, sighed and put on her helmet last.

"Game on." Chen Qiang said.

Everyone's consciousness was interrupted for half a second, and then instantly reconnected.

……

Chen Qiang woke up.

[Module Name: Christmas Carnival on the Haneda Cruise Ship]

[Difficulty: Unknow]

"Huh?"

What catches your eye is not the mist-filled virtual space, but the unfamiliar ceiling of the guest room.

“……?”

[The mode of this module will be locked to "Original Intent"]

You can't switch modes in a process

[The passage of time in this module will be different from the real world, and 24 hours in the virtual world will be equivalent to 120 minutes in the outside world]

"Wait......"

[Depending on your ability, you have automatically replaced a passenger on the ship, please be sure to act as him]

[All NPCs will automatically treat you as the character you replaced]

[Regardless of the attributes and skills of the character you have substituted, in this mod, your character's attributes, skills, and traits are always the same as your own]

[The "Haneda" cruise ship sailed from Hinamizawa in Toei to Kasendra on the west coast of the United States. It was a trip across the ocean. You've been on the boat for a week, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and you're going to spend Christmas on board. 】

"Keeper of Secrets...... No, the system, I'm going to look at my own card. ”

Chen Qiang guessed that he did not have the privilege of guarding secrets in the "Random Trial Module". Like other players, Chen Qiang had to ask about the mechanical and cold system if he wanted to know more information.

[Name: Jon Chan Age: 29 Race: Human; Occupation: Accountant]

[Power 65; Constitution 50; Body type 65; Dexterity 70; Appearance 65

Intelligence 75; Will 80; Education 70]

"There is a difference between the name and the age, but the attributes have not changed."

【Skills:

Credit rating 95%; jump 24%;

Accounting 65%; Glamour 36%; computer usage 35%;

35% for car driving; Speech 78%; English 56%; 70% mother tongue;

library use 51%; Listen to 70%; persuasion 35%;

Psychology 62%; Detection 70%; Fighting (knife) 45%】

“…… Really. Same as I thought. ”

Except for the Cthulhu Mythos skill, which is not shown, the credit has regressed slightly, the age display has changed, and the other stats are exactly the same as the real-world self, and there is no character background attached.

"The room is unsatisfactory," this is a spacious big bed room, there is only Chen Qiang in the room, Chen Qiang's eyes glanced at the album on the table, the photo of the "Haneda" on the cover, an extremely magnificent black luxury passenger liner, "Look at this level, the grade and the charge are not too low." ”

Outside the window, the sun sets. Others are not around. It seems that he was thrown into the module alone......

Just like the time of "The Curse of the Hanged King", the "Christmas Carnival on the Haneda Cruise" does not have any missions. "The Curse of the Hanged King" also has a reminder that it is forbidden to leave the hotel for 500 meters, and this time there is no such restriction - probably the cruise ship whose stage is located on the vast sea, it is difficult to fly with wings.

First, try to get in touch with other people...... No.

"Let's find out what kind of person 'I', that is, this so-called Jon Chen, is."

As a veteran secret keeper, Chen Qiang understands that this kind of copy of forcibly substituting players into characters will generally bury invisible pits for players in situ......

By the way, there is another thing that needs to be prevented.

"System, I use the 'Assign Talent' Secret Keeper ability to assign 'Spirit Solidification' to players 'Haneda Sayoko' and 'Qin Lingxue'. Player 'Qin Lingxue' used to have only 5 sanity points, which was 10% lower than his Cthulhu Mythos skill; Player 'Sayoko Haneda' currently has a sanity of 14, which is 15% lower than his Cthulhu Mythos. No problem, right? I don't currently have the Keeper perk, but the 'Keeper Talent' that is shared in all mods should continue to work. ”

[Assigned.] The system is indifferent.

"After all, it's an important combat force. Before the confluence, it would be bad to accidentally detract from reason. If the two of them are talking, there should be a code to connect with each other. ”

The mission of filling the pool of sanity is lost to the next wave of ordinary players.

In his heart for half a second of silence for the next batch of real test players, Chen Qiang threw himself into a nervous search.

After determining the identity of the character you have replaced and the current time and location, go to Koyuki immediately.

……

Uncle Xu was in a daze in the corridor.

He also received a system prompt, but he didn't understand it.

"Where am I? What am I doing? He stared blankly at the mop in his hand.

The middle-aged ghoul looked left and right, and finally saw his badge.

"Cleaner?" He noticed the words on his badge with some surprise.

"Lao Xu!" The foreman shouted, "What are you in a daze? It's work! ”

"Ah...... Be! Uncle Xu, a ghoul who loves cleanliness, reflexively began to mop the floor until the foreman left.

"Mr. Chen, this is different from what I said......" Uncle Xu is in a dilemma.
