Real Cthulhu Running Game - #2297 - Chapter 2238: engineer

Chapter 2238 Engineer

Originally, as he said before, Liu Xing did not intend to participate in the investigation in Reed Town, because with his current legs and feet, it would be difficult to run into the reed swamp without falling into the water, and it would also drag down other people. of players spend more time.

But it’s different now, because I already have the Eagle Eye skill, so I can check the investigation team’s situation when necessary, and then make corresponding arrangements.

For example, if the investigation team is attacked in the reed swamp, as long as the investigation team can make a loud noise before the team is destroyed (), then Liu Xing, who is on standby outside, can activate his eagle eye at this time and use those five seconds. time to determine the safety of the investigation team. If there are still survivors, a rescue team will be sent. If not, Liu Xing will prepare a tomb for them after arriving in Tianshui Town, which can be regarded as proof that they have served the alliance. Have done things.

But having said that, Liu Xing thought of one thing on the way, that is, the description of this Eagle Eye skill looks different from other skills, because there is no numerical value after the Eagle Eye skill, so it looks like It should have a 100% success rate.

Moreover, this skill can be upgraded through continuous use, so this reminded Liu Xing of an online novel he had read before, which was a virtual game novel from the ancient times. The relevance of this novel The setting is relatively traditional, so the skills players learn can accumulate proficiency through continuous use, and the skill can be upgraded after the proficiency reaches a certain value.

As for the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, if players want to upgrade the value of a certain skill of theirs, in addition to the classic inter-act growth, they must use this skill in the module and ensure the success rate of using the skill. You also need to make the judgment of this skill reach a difficult success. Of course, it would be better if it can reach an extremely difficult success or a great success, so that the value of this skill can be improved!

However, when the value of a certain skill reaches 80, it becomes more difficult to improve it. Basically, there is no stable channel, and it can only be improved by chance.

No wonder the Eagle Eye skill is classified as a special skill, because there is indeed a certain difference between it and ordinary skills. At least in terms of improving the success rate, there is a difference between “just practice more” and “just let everything happen”. .

It seems that this martial arts module is really different. Liu Xing always feels that some of the settings of this module are very similar to the virtual online game novels from more than ten years ago. It seems that the male voice is indeed his peer, and he is also A fan of online novels.

When Liu Xing came to the front of the convoy, he saw that Miao Fei was organizing people to cut trees in the nearby woods and was preparing to build a wooden bridge to cross the river, because the collapsed stone bridge had fallen into the water even though the bridge deck , but the bridge piers can still be used.

 More importantly, Wu Ji is actually an expert in bridge construction!

“I used to like reading books when I had nothing to do at home, especially those messy books. I wanted to learn as much knowledge as possible, because I was worried that I would be kicked out of the house. If I didn’t have any skills by then, Wouldn’t it make me hungry? So I learned how to build a cheap and strong wooden bridge.”

Wu Ji showed a nostalgic look on the past, “Because my father focused on his youngest son, I used to be able to sneak out and play whenever I was free, unlike my younger brother who could only stay and play. I take classes at home; so if I hear that someone is going to build a new bridge there, I will run over to help and learn from the bridge-building experience of those old masters, so I feel that I should be considered a qualified bridge-building expert!”

 Is there any other operation like this?

There is a saying that a layman only looks at the excitement, while an expert looks at the doorway. Building a bridge looks like building blocks. It just requires splicing a bunch of wood or stones together, and at most it just reinforces some joints.

However, it is still difficult to build a wooden bridge that can be used for many years, and a stone bridge that can be used for decades or even hundreds of years, because the Xinlong Empire not only has many rivers, but also has a very large flow, plus the fish in the water Not a lot, so building a bridge can be regarded as a technical job, and the cost of such a bridge is not low!

Therefore, in this martial arts module, as long as conditions permit, one or even multiple bridge construction experts will be hired to build the bridge. After the bridge is completed, in addition to hanging the dragon-slaying sword, there will also be a bridge built somewhere. Engraving the name of the bridge construction expert will allow you to trace the root cause if something goes wrong with the bridge during its service life. . . When he saw this setting, Liu Xing knew that this could be regarded as some rules that the author of the module had borrowed from the future.

So let alone every city, even a small town will have a bridge construction expert. However, bridge construction experts in small towns usually work part-time, and will only be responsible for the construction and maintenance of bridges within their own town. , so as long as you can become a bridge construction expert, you will not be short of food and drink. You just have to be careful and conscientious in your work to avoid any accidents on the bridge you are responsible for.

However, it is worth mentioning that most of the bridge-building experts are actually disciples of a certain sect, and this sect, like the Hundred Beasts Sect, belongs to several sects sharing the same name. At the same time, these sects also come from the highest ranking schools in the Zhuzi Academy. The school of three—engineers!

Engineers, to put it simply, study how to build bridges, roads and houses quickly and efficiently, and by the way invent some related tools, and how to use related tools to fight. After all, sometimes if you are building roads, you will Enter some areas where there are no human activities yet, so you need to take the tools around you and fight against the sudden appearance of tigers, leopards and jackals!

Of course, at certain times, there will be some blind bandits who will take action on construction sites that only have stones and wood, so the engineer disciples present have to take action.

Therefore, a sect with the same name has appeared in various parts of the Xinlong Empire – the Engineering Sect. Therefore, whether you are a bridge construction expert or a road construction expert, you basically have to go to the Engineering Sect as an outside disciple for a few years. After successfully graduating, you can start to get jobs. Of course, some self-taught people can also directly go to the engineering school for certification. As long as they pass the certification exam, they can start to engage in corresponding work.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that Wu Ji was still ambitious when he was a child, and he actually chose such a promising career. Not only could he have an iron rice bowl, but he could also learn some pretty good martial arts.

However, judging from Wu Ji’s current situation, he should have given up on his childhood dream, otherwise Liu Xing could arrange a suitable position for him in Tianshui Town, such as helping to plan a team community?

“If everything goes well, I think we can cross the river within an hour, and we can also leave a new bridge for future generations that can be used for several years.” Wu Ji said confidently: “Actually, I’m quite I admire the builder of this broken bridge, because if I remember correctly, this bridge has existed for hundreds of years. That is, when the nearby Luwei Town still existed, this bridge had already appeared! But in those days, Luwei Town In terms of our strength, it is not difficult to build such a strong and durable bridge. Unfortunately, due to the sudden disappearance of Luwei Town, this bridge may not have been maintained for decades, so it is broken to pieces today.”

“Ah, has this bridge existed for so many years?” Miao Fei asked very cooperatively.

“Yes, I actually came here to study this bridge before, because it is the most famous ancient bridge in our area, right? So many people who are interested in becoming bridge construction experts have come to study this bridge on the spot. I wanted to learn some of the construction techniques used in this bridge, so I discovered that this bridge uses a material called shell mud, which can make the stones stick together more firmly.”

Wu Ji sighed and said helplessly: “Although the name of this shell mud sounds quite ordinary, it seems that you can just go to the beach to find some shells, pound them, and then add them to the clay. In fact, there is no How useful… And the real shell mud has been lost many years ago. Now even if many people are studying the formula of shell mud, the final result can only be described as better than nothing! So to put it bluntly, I I feel that the reason why this bridge was broken into pieces today is that the earthquake was just an inducement, and the disrepair was only a minor condition, because the real main reason is that many people are trying to find out the formula of shell mud. On this bridge, strike a hammer to the east and dig a **** to the west.”

ah?

Liu Xing took a look at the broken bridge in the river and found that it was indeed broken.

“Ahem, of course. I was not very sensible when I was young, so I also took away a piece of shell mud. However, this dried shell mud has no research value at all, because it has already been integrated into one piece. .”

Wu Ji touched the back of his head in embarrassment and continued: “But the location of this bridge is indeed a bit embarrassing, because there is not even a village within dozens of miles nearby. After all, the way Luwei Town disappeared was a bit too… It’s outrageous, so many people think it’s the work of ghosts and gods, so the residents nearby move wherever they can; and those who can’t move, even if they have money and land, have a hard time marrying a wife, so this There are fewer and fewer people nearby, and now it has become a no-man’s land! As for the apple orchard you passed before, some people think that the reason why those apple trees get strange diseases is related to the disappearance of Reed Town. relation.”

 “Ah? Is there any other way to say this?”

Liu Xing raised his brows, nodded and said, “This seems to make sense, because the Reed Town is not too far from the apple orchard. It would be even closer if they were connected in a straight line.”

“So there are really no people living in this area, and passing convoys will also time it to ensure that they can pass the bridge before dark, so as not to spend the night near Reed Town.”

Wu Ji looked in the direction of Luwei Town and continued: “I have also heard some unreliable stories, that is, someone stayed overnight near Luwei Town for various reasons. As a result, the next day either Someone is missing arms and legs, or there is simply one person missing, or a group of people have disappeared around here, so I personally suggest that we…”

Before Wu Ji put forward his suggestion, Schiller came over with Xu Bin and three other people, but the most important thing was that there was a big man among the three people.

 That’s right, Schiller and the others are planning to enter Reed Town with the fish seller!

Although Maiyuqiang, as an NPC, will cause some inconvenience to Schiller and others in their communication during the exploration process, Maiyuqiang’s combat power can still ensure their safety during the exploration process. More importantly, Maiyuqiang Qiang’s brain is not very good, so he is willing to follow Schiller and others to explore Reed Town.

That’s right, Schiller and others have already gone to Wang Wu and others for help, because they feel that young guys like Wang Wu are very adventurous, and Schiller and others also took out the banner of Liu Xing, It is said that this exploration of Luwei Town has been approved by Liu Xing, so if anything is discovered, Liu Xing will be rewarded.

The result can be imagined. Although Wangjia Village where Wang Wu and others are located maintains a certain distance from the outside world, it has not yet reached the level of isolation. Therefore, they have also heard about the strange things that happened in Luwei Town, and they are still in the mouth. The embellished version was based on word of mouth. For example, Luwei Town was discovered to have disappeared after a winter and half a spring and autumn. As a result, after arriving in Philadelphia, it became “Luwei Town mysteriously disappeared overnight.” Therefore, Wang When Wu heard that Schiller and others were going to explore the old site of Luwei Town, his head shook faster than a rattle.

Of course, when Wu Ji heard that Schiller and others were planning to go to Luwei Town, he shook his head very quickly, “Don’t think too hard! You must know that many people have gone to Luwei Town in recent years. , although most people were able to leave Luwei Town without incident, some people disappeared in the reed swamps, and some people claimed that they saw some figures in the old site of Luwei Town, and then they disappeared after returning. How long does it take to become crazy?”

Schiller and others also guessed that Wu Ji and others might dissuade them from going to Luwei Town, so they directly came up with the reasons they had prepared long ago, “It’s okay, we will go in for a walk and then come out. If something happens, If so, we will accept our fate, because this is the task assigned to us by Donggong Canglong, and we cannot let down the trust that Donggong Canglong has placed in us!”

Although Wu Ji had just joined the team not long ago, he had already heard about Liu Xing’s situation from Miao Fei, especially since there was a **** behind Liu Xing, so Wu Ji felt lucky to be able to join the team. .
