my cthulhu game

Chapter 266 "Super Dice System"

The door of the grocery store.

Qin Yixian and Bai Shaobao stood beside a big withered pagoda tree, watching over the people who entered the house.

"I kind of miss my hometown." Bai Shaobao said to himself.

It is also a mountainous area, and the infrastructure in his hometown county is much better than this ghost place, he thought.

The dark old houses and the bumpy dirt roads were nothing, but the gloomy eyes of the villagers always reminded him of bad things.In just a short while, he has seen four people born with deformities, two of them are children.

"You compare America 100 years ago with China in the 21st century? Times have changed, buddy."

Qin Yixian said, patting hard on the big milk can outside the grocery store.At first, he was a little confused as to why there was a milk can here, but when he looked closer, he realized that it was a temporary mailbox.

……

Bai Shaobao had nothing to do.

He originally thought time travel would be an interesting thing - but now it seems that the United States 100 years ago was even more backward and boring than imagined.He originally planned to bring back some souvenirs, but you can't even buy stamps in this damn place.

He couldn't help but recall what happened before he was brought back to this era by Chen Qiang.

"How stupid of me, really," he thought.

It was a sunny afternoon.

He and Yisi were preparing to build a time portal on a grassy field.The project has entered the middle stage, and everyone is still working hard.

"Green Delta" agents collected many precious special reagents and materials for the project.Bai Shaobao carefully held a transparent test tube and walked towards the workbench on one side. In the test tube, a blue liquid shone with a strange light.

suddenly--

An indifferent voice sounded in his ear:

【Hello.Your "Super Dice System" has been activated. 】

"Huh?!" Bai Shaobao was taken aback.

[Now you can check the skill check in real life.wish you a happy life. 】

"What!" Bai Shaobao jumped in fright. Although he didn't pass any sancheck, his hands couldn't help shaking, and the test tube fell to the ground.

[Bai Shaobao failed the agility test 95/90]

"...?!"

He reached out to grab it, but found nothing.Seeing that the test tube was about to fall to the ground, Yisi rushed towards the test tube with sharp eyes and hands.

[Iss agility check 2/60 big success]

Is fell on the ground, tightly grasping the test tube with both hands, miraculously, not a single drop of the liquid in the test tube spilled out.

"Walk well!" Ice's face turned pale.

The construction of the portal requires certain geographical location, and coupled with the need for confidentiality, the laboratory regulations are not that particular...

But the astonished Bai Shaobao couldn't care about Yisi's complaints...

"System! Is there really a system? Are you really the system? Can you upgrade?"

【I...Pfft. 】

Chen Qiang, who used the function of reading words to pretend to be "system awakening", finally couldn't help laughing.

He has already confirmed the contents of the reagents with Is. These reagents will not cause special dangers and can be obtained by spending money. Even if a little is spilled, Chen Qiang can accept it, but Iss is used to being poor in his own time and space. I still can't understand the waywardness of this kind of local tyrant.

"What are you thinking!" Seeing that Bai Shaobao was in a daze, Yi Si gave Bai Shaobao a hammer.

"No, that's not right...this voice..." Bai Shaobao also realized that the laughter seemed familiar to him, "Mr. Chen!"

The boss scolded me again!
And he was called a success!

For a few seconds, Bai Shaobao really thought he was the Chosen One, and then some system awakened...

That's right, he remembered, the boss's game is also a manifestation of this "percent dice".

...I should have noticed it sooner.

[I have something important to ask you. 】Chen Qiang stopped joking and changed a serious tone.

The "Super Dice System" is of course non-existent, but Chen Qiang is indeed giving "Investigator Eyes" to the investigators he can trust one by one, so that they can see the results of the dice.

Chen Qiang himself is strong enough to protect himself, but his employees may not.For Chen Qiang, the "investigator's eye" allows them to better grasp the status quo.

……

Time goes back to the present.

Qin Yixian and Bai Shaobao stood at the main entrance of the grocery store, looking at the villagers passing by.

Sudden--

[Bai Shaobao failed the detection check 86/75]

[Qin Yixian failed the detection check 93/76]

[? ? ?Detection check 5/80 big success]

"Who!"

The dice results that flashed suddenly made the two of them suddenly alert.

Qin Yixian and Bai Shaobao didn't see anything...but this didn't prevent them from detecting the abnormality through the sudden abnormality check.

Different from the game masters played by human beings, the "system" formed by Daoloth's power has never hesitated to disclose the results of the dark dice to the investigators affected by it. Even if it fails, more information can be inferred from the results of the dice. Information.

However, once the distance is too far, or the dice has nothing to do with you, you may not be able to receive the relevant test results in time.

"Someone...or something."

Through the "investigator's eye", now Qin Yixian and Bai Shaobao are sure that they have missed something.

The problem is, they don't know what they're missing...

"Mr. Chen's technology is really black technology through and through." Bai Shaobao has been popularized by Chen Qiang for the rules of the game long ago. He also thought that he had adapted to the "alien technology" that Chen Qiang took out from time to time, but in reality, from time to time Jumping out of the system prompt still made him uncomfortable.

Qin Yixian looked around.A few gray-haired old men stood on the doorstep in the distance and looked over. On the further hillside, there were buildings that had collapsed into ruins.

"You stay here." Qin Yixian said, took out a pistol from his pocket, and walked towards the shadow of the decayed building in the distance.

……

In the grocery store.

"Hello." Lily treated everyone present with standard ladylike etiquette.

[Lily's charm check is 43/85 successful]

The noisy villagers calmed down a little.Osborne, the former grocery store owner standing at the gate - a balding bearded man - also reacted and introduced everyone in a panic.

"Ah... new friends," he said nervously, "these two are businessmen from Boston."

He pointed at Hong Zhou.

"This gentleman...he comes every month to provide us with drinks..." When the shop owner mentioned the word "wine", his voice was obviously lowered by an octave, and after confirming that Chen Qiang and others had no reaction, he raised it again. "...Return the new medicine he made himself. No matter what disease you have, just one pill can cure it..."

Boss Osborne puffed out his chest proudly: "...Because the pills use herbs near our village, they are provided to us for free."

"In the trial stage," Hong Zhou said with a smile, "it's really free."

Chen Qiang: "Hehe."

It is true that any disease can be "cured", he thought, but those ghouls who turned blue all over and died suddenly appeared in his head.

"Mr. Chen."

Bai Shaobao walked in and whispered something in Chen Qiang's ear.

　In the author's real-life study of Little Whateley's diary in "The Dunwich Horror", now his mind is full of Cthulhu, and he feels that the whole person's SAN has dropped again.
