Generally speaking, in addition to the inspiration judgment that the player actively applies for, the inspiration judgment made at other times can be directly recognized as a sinkhole, because as long as you pass these inspiration judgments, you will have to lose the SAN value nine times out of ten.

Therefore, Liu Xing estimated that if he passed this inspiration, he would either see mythical creatures or supernatural phenomena.

Liu Xing, 49/70, success.

Luck was "good".

"OK, then all players have successfully passed the inspiration judgment, and now the first side quest is officially triggered, and then players will enter the story mode." KP Xuefeng said with a smile.

Liu Xing sighed silently, it seems that this time the module is a bit unfavorable... Or is KP Yukikaze's poisoned milk already in effect?

Just when Liu Xing was complaining in his heart, Liu Xing suddenly felt something in his heart, and involuntarily looked in the direction of the bridge.

Then, through the dense rain curtain, Liu Xing still saw a huge python with a dark and shiny body, or a dragon, wrapped around the bridge.

Then I heard a thunderclap, and the black dragon squeezed the bridge to pieces, and then fell into the river.

"Because you players have witnessed a terrible scene beyond your imagination, so now we will start to check the SAN value, but because the specific situation of each player has a big gap, so the SAN value check that each needs to do is different, and now I will contact each player separately to check their own SAN value." KP Xuefeng still said with a smile.

However, Liu Xing didn't pay much attention to what KP Xuefeng said now, because Liu Xing was already stunned by the black dragon that had just appeared.

In the Cthulhu Run game, in general, size represents combat effectiveness, and the larger the size of the mythical creature, the stronger the combat power, after all, size is directly proportional to strength, and in the Cthulhu Run game, the result of size confrontation and strength confrontation largely affects the battle situation.

Therefore, looking at such a huge black dragon, Liu Xing's heart was also half cold, because Liu Xing estimated that the combat power of this black dragon should be about the same as that of an adult demon worm, and this black dragon was not afraid of water...

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that if his party started a war with this black dragon, they would definitely be completely crushed, unless Li Dian or the body of Wanzhong Mountain was the incarnation of Naiyaratotip.

In the USB flash drive that Yin En gave himself yesterday, Liu Xing saw a very interesting message, that is, "Inventory of the story of Naiarathotep's avatar disguised as a player for modding".

After incomplete statistics, players can already confirm that there are at least thirty-two character cards belonging to the avatar of Nyaratotip, and at least five in each game area, and these character cards have appeared at least twice.

The most important thing is that the character cards controlled by these Nyaratotip avatars are relatively friendly to players, and they have saved players on the verge of annihilation many times.

Therefore, Liu Xing is still very much looking forward to meeting the character cards controlled by the avatars of Nyara Totip.

Straight to the point.

Although Liu Xing was quite jealous of the existence of the black dragon, Liu Xing did not feel that his group would clash head-on with the black dragon, unless his group triggered the group annihilation plot killing.

And maybe this black dragon has some fatal weakness?

Liu Xing comforted himself.

At this time, KP Xuefeng contacted Liu Xing and said: "Player Liu Xing, because the situation of your character card is very special, so you only need to lose 0 SAN points if you succeed and 1D3 SAN if you fail, and get the same number of Cthulhu Mythos knowledge." ”

Liu Xing nodded, he was still able to accept such a san value test.

Liu Xing, 34/?? Succeed.

Looking at these question marks, Liu Xing felt a little headache, because Liu Xing suspected that if this continued, his character card would sooner or later become a bunch of question marks...

After finishing his SAN value test, Liu Xing immediately turned back to observe the situation of Ishikawa Ling and others, after all, he needed to conduct SAN value verification this time, which means that Ishikawa Ling and others are likely to enter a temporary state of madness, after all, KP Xuefeng's poisonous milk is really unprovoked.

But fortunately, in addition to Wan Chongshan looking a little distracted, Ishikawa Ling and Zhang Jingxu were just a little surprised.

"Did you see that? A big black snake just crushed the bridge directly?! Ishikawa Ling said with a slight stammer.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "No, no, no, it's not a big snake anymore, but a dragon in Chinese legends, and if nothing else, this dragon's path is not shallow." ”

Liu Xing sighed, pointed to the broken bridge and said, "The main problem now is that this bridge has been broken by that black dragon, so we have no way to go back and leave here." ”

Zhang Jingxu pretended to shrug his shoulders relaxedly, and said with a smile: "This is not a big problem, you must know that Huaxia is known as an infrastructure madman, even in this kind of township area, the roads are also extensive, we can still go to our destination through other roads, or go back to Rongcheng." ”

That's true, but players know very well that the "old town" they are in now has become an isolated island.

At this time, Wan Chongshan also came back to his senses and hurriedly said something to Zhang Jingxu, and Zhang Jingxu is now habitually translated in real time, "Wan Chongshan said that he will follow us now, after all, this black dragon looks too terrifying, and he is afraid that if he continues to stay alone in the bus, something will happen." ”

Liu Xing nodded, now if Wanzhong Mountain is alone, it is indeed easy to have an accident.

So, Liu Xing and the three of them left the bus with their luggage and Wan Chongshan.

Back at Hu Cang's store, Liu Xing saw Li Dianzheng talking to Hu Cang with a shocked face.

There is no need for Zhang Jingxu to translate, Liu Xing also knows that Li Dian should be asking Hu Cang about the situation of the black dragon, but looking at Hu Cang's calm face, Liu Xing estimated that Li Dian should not be able to ask any results.

But in this way, this Hu Cang should know something.

"Li Dian is asking about the black dragon, but Hu Cang said that there is no dragon here at all, and the bridge just collapsed because it was in disrepair, and now Hu Cang invited us to enter his house." Zhang Jingxu said in a low voice.

So, everyone entered Hu Cang's house.

Liu Xing found out that the first floor of Hu Cang's house was actually a small clinic, which was divided into an outpatient area and an injection and infusion area like other clinics, but it may be because the business was not very good, and there were very few drugs in the glass medicine cabinet.

At this time, Hu Cang raised a table and motioned for everyone to sit down first, and then went to the back kitchen on the first floor to prepare the meal.

"This Hu Cang doesn't look simple." Liu Xing said in a low voice.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "That's right, there is obviously something wrong with this Hu Cang, I just asked Li Dian, Li Dian said that after he saw the black dragon, he immediately asked Hu Cang what the situation was, and Hu Cang obviously saw the black dragon, but he opened his eyes and said nonsense, saying that he didn't see anything, and said that there was no legend about the black dragon in Panlong Town." ”

"Beaulieu Town?" Liu Xing said with some surprise, because Liu Xing's hometown is also called Panlong Town (also the author's hometown).

The most important thing is that when he was a child, Liu Xing once learned the meaning of "Panlong" from his grandfather.

In China, the word Pan has the meaning of "lying on the ground", so the dragon refers to the dragon lying on the ground or the dragon coiled together, but "Pan" is used to refer to earthworms and other underground insects in many cases, which contains the meaning of not being of high grade, so there is a saying that the dragon is inferior to the dragon without horns and inferior water dragons; In addition, there is a saying that the dragon is a poisonous dragon that kills when touched and looks like a python.

All in all, the black dragon that Liu Xing saw just now is very likely to be a dragon.

Therefore, Hu Cang said that there is no legend about the black dragon in Panlong Town, and no matter how you look at it, you can't think it's possible.

Therefore, there is only one truth, that is, Hu Cang is lying!

But why did Hu Cang lie?

Just when Liu Xing was deep in thought, Zhang Jingxu chatted with Wan Chongshan and Li Dian, while Ishikawa Ling sat in his place bored, taking out his mobile phone and preparing to play games to pass the time.

However, something happy happened, and Ishikawa Ling found that his mobile phone "really" had no signal.

Ishikawa Ling sighed and told everyone about this expected situation.

Just when everyone was checking their mobile phones, Hu Cang walked out with a pot of fried rice and said: "As long as it rains here, there will be a problem with the mobile phone signal, okay, I don't have any dishes at home at this time, so I can only get some fried rice for you to eat, I hope you don't mind." ”

Because of the language barrier, Liu Xing now feels that he is still quite embarrassed, because he doesn't know what others are saying, so he can only keep smiling, and then wait for Zhang Jingxu to translate for himself...

After Hu Cang put down the fried rice, he brought the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen and distributed them to everyone, and then said, "Okay, everyone, eat slowly, I'll go back to the room now." ”

After speaking, Hu Cang left.

Obviously, this is the space that the mod leaves for players to spend time in the Secret Room.

Therefore, Liu Xing did not hesitate to apply to KP Xuefeng for the secret room time.

"OK, now turn on the secret room time, I hope all players can seize the time to communicate, by the way, now all players have triggered the first side quest - Legend of the Dragon, the task requirement is that players need to find a way to understand the true situation of the black dragon hidden in Beaulong Town, and completing this side quest will earn 500 points, as well as 30 'truth' points." KP Xuefeng said with a smile.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this side quest to be worth 30 "truth" points, it seems that the difficulty of this side quest is not as simple as stated in the mission description.

"Alright, don't waste time, let's start summarizing the current situation first." Ling Ishikawa clapped his hands and spoke.

Li Dian looked at Ishikawa Ling and said with some surprise: "Ah, it turns out that you are from Huaxia, how did you get a character card from the island country." ”

Ishikawa Ling sighed helplessly, and said: "Liu Xing and I are both Chinese, but because of a certain module, the character card we use now has become an island country, so we can't understand the language when we return to Huaxia now... ”

Wan Chongshan smiled and patted Ishikawa Ling on the shoulder, and said: "I can understand your feelings very well, because my last character card was an Englishman, and then I was assigned to an all-English module, and I didn't understand the language with them during the secret room time, so I felt like an outsider, and finally I was sold by those damn Englishmen." ”

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

In the Cthulhu Run game, players are definitely more willing to cooperate with their own players on a deeper level than foreign players, and when one or more teammates must be sacrificed, it must be a minority that "obeys" the majority, or the majority "traps" the minority.

Therefore, the situation that has happened to Wanzhongshan is neither unique nor uncommon.

At this time, Li Dian opened his mouth and said: "Okay, let's get down to business, when Zhang Jingxu went back to get your luggage, I asked Hu Cang about some of the situation in this town, first of all, this town is called Panlong Town, surrounded by a river called Panlong River, and is connected to the outside world by three bridges, so if nothing else, the current Panlong Town can already be understood as an island, because the bridge when we came has been destroyed by the black Jiaolong, and the other small bridge is because of the height. Now the Panlong River should have flooded the small bridge due to heavy rain, and there is a chance that the last bridge will also have an accident. ”

Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing with Li Dian's opinion, after all, this is already a standard routine for the Cthulhu Run group game.

"In addition, according to Hu Cang's introduction, I have summarized some noteworthy locations in Panlong Town - Panlong Primary School, Panlong Junior High School, Pig Killing Farm, Health Center, Bamboo Forest and Black Internet Cafe, after all, there is no main quest for this module, so these locations are likely to trigger side quests, as for the specific location of these locations, Hu Cang has promised to send us a map." Li Dian continued.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, these locations in Li Dian's mouth may indeed trigger side quests, because places like Panlong Primary School and Junior High School are the places with the largest flow of people in Panlong Town, and places like health centers and pig killing farms, as well as black Internet cafes, are prone to accidents, not to mention the final bamboo forest, maybe help a few mythical creatures.

PS: All the side quests in this mod are adapted from some legends of Zhiwei that circulate in my hometown.
