Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 143: Bountiful Harvest



Chapter 143: Bountiful Harvest

"Hehe, Aughra, how did you just arrange things for me? Don't think I don't know." A cold and proud voice emanated from the Pharaoh's coffin.

Aughra raised an eyebrow, awkwardly smiled, and evaded the question, "Uh, Black Pharaoh, aren't you in charge of the party? Why did you suddenly come to me?"

"Hehe, if I didn't come, how would I know how you arranged things for me? And why did I come back? Aughra, don't you have any idea?" Black Pharaoh's tone carried a hint of annoyance.

Aughra, sensing trouble, immediately tried to appease, "Black Pharaoh, calm down first. I just took a few dishes, why get so angry? We're brothers, after all."

"Hehe, what's the use of those dishes? Aughra, don't tell me you don't know. And you even gave the party tickets to a new player. You're quite generous." Black Pharaoh sneered.

Aughra shrugged, smiling, "Black Pharaoh, that's where you're wrong. How can you look down on newcomers? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank; don't underestimate a poor youth'? Believe it or not, this newcomer might surpass you in the future."

"Hmph, just mere humans. They can't even pierce through my armor, let alone harm me. Aughra, I can't be bothered to argue with you. Do as you please." As Black Pharaoh spoke, the Pharaoh's coffin disappeared without a trace.

Aughra chuckled and muttered to himself, "This group of newcomers should be able to cultivate one or two suitable gu in the future. I hope you don't disappoint me, especially Liu Xing. I have high expectations for you. But that chicken rice with added ingredients, Liu Xing should be able to eat it..."

Back to reality.

After finishing Nyarlathotep's special chicken rice, Liu Xing wiped his mouth. Now he was sure that this chicken rice was no different from what he had in college.

"Aughra is a bit deceiving. I thought eating this chicken rice would directly increase my attributes." Liu Xing complained while opening the gift interface.

Liu Xing hadn't forgotten that Aughra had mentioned sending him a gift. Now he could only hope that this gift wouldn't be as disappointing as the chicken rice.

"Invitation to the Dark Party?" Liu Xing opened the gift center, and a page popped up.

"Invitation to the Dark Party: When a player has a character card in the torn state, they can choose to use this invitation to the Dark Party. After spending 2000 points, the player can use the torn character card for a special Cthulhu campaign scenario—Dark Party. After completing the Dark Party, the torn character card will return to its normal state and gain the trait—Resurrection."

"Trait—Resurrection: After experiencing the cycle of life and death, this character card has seen through everything. So, after each SAN value check, this character card will undergo an additional Will check. If the Will check is successful, the character card will recover 1 point of SAN value."

Liu Xing was delighted; this Dark Party module was clearly a resurrection module.

Cthulhu RPG Game, due to the factors of Interlude Growth, can also be considered a cultivation game. Players gradually transform an ordinary human investigator into an elite one with eighteen martial skills, even cultivating into a legend like Harvey (an NPC in the rulebook, a seasoned investigator proficient in hundreds of skills, having encountered countless mythical creatures). The sense of accomplishment is self-evident.

The mechanics of the Cthulhu RPG Game make tearing cards a common occurrence. When a character card that you have cultivated for a long time, with all attributes and skill values exceeding 90, faces a character card that survived confronting Nyaruko, the Great Failure results in a Ghoul ambush and death, the frustration is beyond description.

Therefore, resurrection modules came into existence.

Resurrection module difficulties are generally not high, as they essentially provide benefits. Also, the character cards that need resurrection won't have low attribute and skill values. Thus, resurrection modules have the highest completion rates in the Cthulhu RPG Game.

However, Liu Xing feels that, according to the style of the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, the difficulty of the Dark Party resurrection module shouldn't be too low. After all, Liu Xing believes this module is designed for players' initial character cards. The player's initial character card, aside from lacking additional items, already possesses attributes comparable to a golden character card.

The current price for a golden character card is 5000 points, excluding the value of additional items, making a golden character card worth around 3500 points.

From the operator's perspective, a Dark Party that costs 2000 points to enter, with a fifty percent completion rate, is already considered conscientious management.

"This time, Aughra is quite generous. This invitation to the Dark Party is a decent insurance." Liu Xing nodded in satisfaction and spoke.

Oh, right.

Liu Xing suddenly remembered that the Nyarlathotep custom-made pistol he received seemed to have undergone some changes.

Thinking about this, Liu Xing immediately opened the item interface and found the Nyarlathotep custom-made pistol.

"Nyarlathotep Custom-Made Pistol (Mutation): After undergoing mutation, the Nyarlathotep custom-made pistol cannot change magazines. The magazine capacity is 10 rounds, with 1 round automatically replenishing per minute. When the magazine is empty, the player can choose to consume 1 point of magazine capacity to quickly restore 3 rounds of ammunition. Each bullet's damage is 1d8+1. The player can fire a maximum of 3 rounds per combat round, and the pistol provides the user with a 10-point handgun shooting skill. Note: Due to the special material of this pistol, its presence can only be detected by the naked eye."

"Damn!"

Liu Xing was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect the Nyarlathotep custom-made pistol after mutation to be so powerful; it could be considered an artifact in the Cthulhu RPG Game.

Liu Xing felt that this mutated Nyarlathotep custom-made pistol was perfect for him. Not only did it have high damage, but it could also automatically replenish ammunition. It also increased his handgun shooting skill by 10 points. Most importantly, this pistol could evade any security measures, avoiding the awkward situation of being caught illegally carrying a firearm during plot insertion.

In conclusion, Liu Xing felt that this promotion game was a bountiful harvest. He not only gained 1000 points but also obtained a powerful self-defense weapon and an invitation to a resurrection module.

Of course, if he could get rid of that chicken rice, it would be even more perfect.
