Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 144: Urgent Recruitment (Various Requests)

Just as Liu Xing was preparing to close the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall and relax by playing other games, a massive pop-up suddenly took over the entire screen.

"Attention to all online players in the Shoggoth area, emergency recruitment is now open. Players only need to spend 10 points within the three-minute activity time for a chance to participate in a special module. The difficulty of this special module is set to easy, with a player limit of 5. Completion rewards are 500 points, and failure grants 100 points. The character card used by the player will be automatically generated within the module."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, surprised at his luck. He had just advanced to the Shoggoth area and encountered an event.

In Liu Xing's perspective, this emergency recruitment seemed like a lottery. Players invest 10 points for a chance to receive at least 100 points as a reward. If lucky, they could get 500 points, and there was no risk of tearing their character card, as it would be automatically provided.

However, Liu Xing noticed that over five hundred people had already signed up two minutes before the end of the emergency recruitment, and he estimated that the number might reach 2000 by the end.

"Should I take a gamble?" Liu Xing stroked his chin, contemplating.

With only ten seconds left before the end of the emergency recruitment, Liu Xing ultimately clicked the registration button. After all, sometimes it's worth taking a risk for a chance at a significant reward.

"A total of 2074 people, meaning the probability of me being selected is around 1 in 415. Looks like my chances are quite slim."

While saying this, Liu Xing planned to go to the living room to pour himself a glass of water.

However, just as Liu Xing's left foot stepped out the door, a familiar darkness enveloped his vision, making him realize that his luck today was indeed quite good.

At this moment, Liu Xing felt an extra die in his hand. Without much thought, he rolled the die.

Liu Xing looked at the character card he needed to use this time and could only utter, "It's fate." The randomly drawn character card turned out to be a doctor, but all aspects of its attributes were far lower than his own character card.

If that was the case, Liu Xing felt it would be somewhat challenging. After all, his character card seemed to be the best among all, yet he was still a weak player. Trying to compete with a Wizard would undoubtedly lead to a self-inflicted death.

At this moment, a somewhat ethereal voice echoed in Liu Xing's ears: "Alright, I am your DM ghost. In this special module, each player's character has a common mission—to leave the Internet Addiction Rehabilitation Center. The completion reward is 500 points. However, besides this, each player also has an exclusive mission. Completing the exclusive mission will grant additional rewards. Okay, it's time to delve into the plot."

Liu Xing once again experienced a moment of darkness. When he regained consciousness, he found himself sitting in a cramped office.

Observing the office layout, Liu Xing deduced that this room served as both his personal office and bedroom. It contained only a desk and a wire bed, with not even a computer.

However, Liu Xing noticed a desk calendar and realized it was still July 2003. The absence of a computer seemed normal, especially considering this was the Internet Addiction Rehabilitation Center.

"Player Liu Xing, due to your character card's unique profession, you have two choices for your exclusive mission. The first option is to diligently work for the professor, preventing all patients from leaving the Internet Addiction Rehabilitation Center. Completing this mission will earn you an additional 200 points. The second option is to stand on the side of the patients, assisting them in escaping the center. Completing this mission will earn you an additional 150 points. Please make your choice within one minute," the DM ghost's voice made Liu Xing feel a bit uneasy.

"I choose the second option, to help patients escape from the Internet Addiction Rehabilitation Center!" Liu Xing stated without hesitation.

Although the first option offered a higher reward and had a lower difficulty, as a doctor, Liu Xing steadfastly chose the second option.

"You've made a wrong choice, but your decision is commendable. I wish you good luck," the DM ghost said solemnly.
