Chapter 2600 Internal Struggle

Artifact!

Absolutely an artifact!

The jade card Liu Xing got now can not only help him offset the damage, but also transfer the damage to other people, but it needs to meet a necessary prerequisite-birth date.

That's right, if Liu Xing wants to transfer the damage to someone, he has to write his birth date on this jade card, and at the same time, he has to ensure that this person is nearby when he is hurt.

Although these restrictions are a bit harsh, it does not prevent Liu Xing from calling it an artifact, because its effect is really amazing, after all, it can transfer 100% of the damage!

In this way, he may be able to find out the birth date of Baihecheng, because if he and Baihecheng appear in the same module in the future, they will most likely meet in battle, so if he can hit himself, wouldn't it be like he is hitting himself?

More importantly, this jade card can not only transfer damage to other players, but also achieve the corresponding effect on NPCs, of course, the NPCs here also include mythical creatures.

But the problem is that the birth date of this mythical creature is not easy to calculate, because now the mythical creatures that have appeared in the Cthulhu running group game lobby, except for the man-made mythical creatures such as the human-faced rat, are basically old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years. In addition, the definition of time on the planet where they were born may be very different from that on Earth. For example, there are more than 30 hours in a day, but only more than 100 days in a year, so it is not easy to determine their birth date.

However, Liu Xing felt that he still had a chance to get the birth date of Matsui Yui, because although Matsui Yui was a deep diver, she was also born and raised on Earth, so it should be possible to determine her birth time.

However, the problem is that the blood volume of mythical creatures like deep divers is actually not much different from that of humans, so if you transfer the damage to a mythical creature that is your teammate, it will weaken your combat effectiveness.

So Luo Ye gave Liu Xing a hint before, that is, to find a way to create an original mythical creature similar to slime and use it to transfer damage!

When it comes to slimes, everyone's first thought should be one word - bad, because slimes are useless except for their health under normal circumstances, their attacks are not worth mentioning, and they can only move slowly by jumping or crawling in the dark.

However, slimes have a "rebirth" skill in many games, which means that if you don't kill them, the same slime will stand up and fight you again.

So this jade card is really suitable for slimes.

Then the question is back, is there a slime in the Cthulhu running game lobby?

Of course there is!

That's Shoggoth!

As we all know, the setting of Shoggoth in the Cthulhu running game is to match the slime. Of course, Shoggoth is an enhanced version of slime, so it has a lot more tentacles than slime, and its intelligence level will be higher.

The most important thing is that Shoggoth is one of the few mythical creatures in the Cthulhu role-playing game that can be completely tamed by players, because they are no different from real beasts. As long as you find the right way, you can use them for your own benefit, and there is no need to worry. . . Well, you still have to be careful that these Shoggoths will suddenly betray you. After all, these Shoggoths are like the artificial intelligence in many movies. Once one of them starts to betray humans, then soon all these artificial intelligences will choose to betray.

This is called over and over again. . . Well, this idiom seems to be used a little wrong, but it doesn't matter.

In short, this jade card is definitely the strongest prop in Liu Xing's mind, of course, this is still one of them.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing first put the jade card on his neck to ensure that it would not be taken away by someone for some reason before he left the villa grid.

So should he leave the villa grid directly at this time?

The reason why I came to this villa grid was naturally to get this jade card, so now that I have this jade card, it stands to reason that there is no need for me to stay in this villa grid, and there are only about six minutes left before the stipulated ten minutes.

Logically speaking, I can't get any new benefits in these six minutes, right? After all, this rule talk will not officially start until six minutes later, so I can't do anything in this preparation time, right?

At this time, Liu Xing suddenly found that "Yin En" and others in front of him looked at the ceiling from time to time, so is the weirdness in this villa grid on the second floor?

From the information currently known, the players in this rule talk came to this villa as lucky guests to help people get rid of disasters, so the weirdness in this rule talk should live in this villa. . . Wait, something seems wrong?

Liu Xing suddenly remembered the mirror he saw before entering the villa. You know, the function of a mirror like this is to block evil spirits or weirdness from entering the villa, in short, to prevent dirty things from entering the villa.

So the weirdness in this rule talk has not actually entered the villa yet?

Or is there more than one weirdness in this rule talk, and these weirdnesses are preparing to cooperate with each other?

No, this is a test for myself!

After all, I am the only player who appeared outside the villa, so I am the only one who knows what the villa gate is like. Therefore, if I don’t share the information about the mirror on the gate with others, then they may not realize that there may be more than one weird in this rule talk, and these weirds are planning to cooperate with each other?

It seems that this villa grid is still prepared to give players a little strength and let players dominate the process of this rule talk. After all, this grid can’t always let players experience the game process of the rule talk, right?

You must know that according to Luo Ye, the main reason why the grid array allows players to design a grid each this time is that if the grid designed by the player can eliminate other players, they can get some benefits. In the end, the grid designer who eliminates the most players can also get some extra rewards.

In this way, everyone will definitely increase the strength of their grids in the hope of eliminating more players, so this villa grid should not give players the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

So should I tell the mirror?

Although it seems that it doesn't matter to me whether I say it or not, because I'm about to leave here, and "Yin En" and others in front of me are obviously NPCs, so they should be "frozen" directly after I leave, or simply reset with this villa grid?

"Oh, Lao Liu, you were not in the villa just now, so you don't know that we heard footsteps upstairs a minute ago, so we thought that the fifth player had gone upstairs before! And from the current situation, the person who made these footsteps, no, it should be Wei Yi on the second floor, it seems that we'd better not go to the second floor."

"Yin En" saw Liu Xing also looking at the ceiling, so he explained: "But according to my understanding of the rules of strange talk, we must go up to the second floor for various reasons, and we have to go up, so we..."

"Yin En" hasn't finished speaking yet, and "Li Ningzhou" sitting next to him suddenly pulled his sleeve and pointed to the paper in his hand.

Seeing this, "Yin En" knew what "Li Ningzhou" meant, so he didn't bother to continue chatting with Liu Xing and looked at his own piece of paper.

This piece of paper should be the rules that players need to follow in this rule talk?

Well, this villa grid is still a bit simple. It doesn't even have the standard sound transmission function of the rule talk, and it needs to use a piece of paper to write down the rules.

But why did this "Li Ningzhou" interrupt "Yin En"? Isn't this a bit rude? So there should be something very important that "Yin En" needs to know, and this thing is a certain rule on the paper?

Anyway, there are still five minutes left, so Liu Xing picked up the paper that belongs to him and read it.

Then, Liu Xing frowned.

The reason is that the second rule of this rule is very special!

When the number of players in the module is one, the module can be ended in advance, and the last remaining player can get extra benefits in addition to the standard clearance reward!

Isn't this tempting players to take action against their own people?

When Liu Xing was in the real world, he also watched some videos about the rules of strange talks. Some of the rules in the videos also have such rules, which is to encourage players to calculate each other. After all, if you make a wrong step in the rules of strange talks, you may lose everything. So it is not ordinary difficult to pass the level according to the normal process. It can be described as a life-or-death struggle.

So just like the classic joke, if you and your friends want to escape the pursuit of the black bear, the best way is actually to run faster than the other party.

So what should you do when you can't find a way to break the game in the rules of strange talks?

That is naturally to find a way to let your teammates go first!

If it is just to let the last player pass the level directly, Liu Xing still thinks it is no big deal, but the problem is that this last player can also get an extra reward!

Money is attractive!

If it is just to pass the level directly, Liu Xing estimates that most players will only have the idea of ​​betraying their teammates when they have no choice, but with this extra reward, more than half of the players will be tempted, right?

After all, in such a ghost place, protecting yourself is the most important thing.

So if this setting is directly transplanted to the Cthulhu game lobby, Liu Xing dare not imagine what the Cthulhu game lobby will be like at this time. At least the number of players in the Hound of Tindalos area will be reduced by about 70%! And the number of player teams will also be greatly reduced. After all, trust between players is not so easy to establish.

However, Liu Xing thought about it again, and suddenly felt that this rule should not exist in the Cthulhu game lobby, because the players in the rule talk basically have only one life, and it is not easy to get a life-saving prop, and props like this will generally take effect directly in the rule talk, that is, directly revive in the current rule talk, and cannot be used to skip this rule talk.

In the Cthulhu running group game lobby, if you tear the card as the cost, you can still skip the current module directly, so there is a possibility of brushing points, that is, several players use white character cards to team up to open the module. In this way, even if outsiders join this module, they can use the advantage of numbers to find a way to let other players tear the card in advance, and then they can choose a player to get the reward.

Under normal circumstances, the basic rewards obtained by players after clearing the module can be exchanged for several new white character cards.

Even if the Cthulhu running group game lobby makes restrictions for this reason, so that players who form a team in this way will lose more than they gain, it may breed a new way of playing-crashing.

In some search-and-retreat games, because players cannot directly trade game currency, they need to perform an operation called "crashing", that is, let multiple players start matching at the same time, so that they have the opportunity to enter the same game. At this time, the seller can directly hand over his high-priced equipment and props to the buyer at the designated location, so that a transaction is completed.

So when the Cthulhu running group game lobby introduced a mechanism that the last player can directly pass the module and get rewards, there will definitely be some players who will sell their points for various reasons, that is, use the white character card to match with the "boss", and then find a way to let the "boss" survive to the end, so that it is equivalent to giving their points to the boss.

Then the Cthulhu running group game lobby will be lively. You know, there are already many players who have been deceived and kept in captivity by some malicious players, and what they can provide is some mall props exchanged for points. So if there is such a setting, then these players who are kept in captivity will be even more unlucky, because they can provide more things. . . However, this can also guarantee their safety in disguise and postpone the time of killing the donkey after it has done its job.

As for the reason why the rule talk in this villa grid adds this self-interested rule, Liu Xing guessed that the designer of this villa grid wanted the players who entered it to fight each other, so that he could get several eliminations.

What a cruel heart.

Liu Xing shook his head, thinking that the designer of this villa grid must have a mental problem, so he specially arranged such a rule that would allow players to fight among themselves.

You said so, Baihe City?
