Hyperreal board game

An Ge's face sank: "This joke is not funny at all."

Zhang Hong spread his hands exaggeratedly: "God of dice! I'm not joking, this thing is really called poison."

An Ge took the bottle in his hand, and immediately got a system prompt.

[Little Treasure's Poison Set 10/12: Consumable, each use is limited to 5 people.Those who drink the wine of the covenant will become allies who will never betray each other.But the above are all lies, there is no covenant that cannot be betrayed. 】

An Ge: "What is this? The description is written like a temporary worker...it's actually a golden prop."

Zhang Hong rubbed his hands, "This is a treasure. People who drink together, if the game cycle is consistent, then they can enter the same module next time. Of course, it can only be used once, and they want to take risks together next time. You can drink more."

"Is the cycle inconsistent?" An Ge asked curiously.

"You can adjust the cycle by consuming CP points to achieve consistency." Zhang Hong said, and then sat across from the two, "But there are also flaws, just as it explains, the only function is to allow players to enter the same module, but there is no group Team effect. Therefore, there is no binding force on the players. Although they went in together, there were quite a few people who turned their faces. Or because the tasks in the module conflicted, they killed each other."

Yue Zimo pondered, "That's a bit tasteless, it's fine if you can't be a teammate, but you can't even control the mission?"

An Ge already understood what he wanted to do, and was a little encouraged, "This is not a problem. TRPG is a game with a high degree of freedom. Even if it is a task that contradicts itself, there can be a peaceful coexistence solution—it is nothing more than It's a question of whether players are willing to do that."

Yue Zimo laughed, turned his head and looked at An Ge sincerely: "Then we don't have to be afraid, shall we drink?"

An Ge pressed his arm reaching for the wine bottle, looked at Zhang Hong and said, "Wait, let me ask again, since there are such props, why don't you enter the module with your sister?"

Zhang Hong took out a cigarette and sighed: "This thing is based on the difficulty of the game of the most senior participant... If I drink it with Xiaoqian, she will have to go with me to participate in the No. Group. She is still a newcomer. This is like throwing a newborn baby antelope to fight with a group of crazy chimpanzees. I don’t even have the confidence to protect her with a penny. It’s better to upgrade slowly in the primary module .”

He looked at An Ge and Yue Zimo with envious eyes: "It's good for you, the difficulty of the module is only two times, it can be ignored, let's go out together in the future... There is a reliable teammate in the module world, It is simply a blessing cultivated in eight lifetimes."

Yue Zimo thanked him with a smile, poured two glasses of wine impatiently, and asked, "Is there anything you should pay attention to when drinking?"

Zhang Hong yawned lazily, then spread out on the sofa and waved his hands casually: "No, no, just drink it. There's so much trouble here, do you still want to have a cup of wine?"

"That's a good idea," Yue Zimo turned his head, looked at An Ge with a smile, "Brother An, how about we play it once?"

Play?This word hurt An Ge, he glared at the boy, reached out to take another cup and drank it down, the taste was no different from ordinary beer.

Yue Zimo had no choice but to follow suit.

"By the way, how much is this one drink?" An Ge asked suddenly.

Before Yue Zimo stopped him, Zhang Hong yawned and replied: "20. Or you can exchange it if you have suitable props... But your current inventory should be kept in the module to save your life. It is more cost-effective to spend money. Hmph , hateful rich people... Even real board games can krypton gold, it's too annoying."

Yue Zimo could only laugh dryly.

An Ge said, "It's too expensive, I'll owe it first."

Yue Zimo: "What are you doing, Brother An, why are you being polite to me, no need."

An Ge: "Yes, half of each person, I insist, don't argue with me."

Yue Zimo: "Brother An..."

Zhang Hong: "Hey, don't discuss it as if you are sharing the room fee...although it is indeed hahahaha to a certain extent."

He laughed alone for a while, but no one responded, so he got up bored and put away "Xiaobao's poison suit", "Okay, I'm going back to work, are you still going to the reference room?"

An Ge said: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen any classification related to props in the reference room. Where can I find them?"

Zhang Hong said: "Oh, there is [-] next door. There are quite a lot of original elements in these modules, so there are also a lot of original props, and sometimes players get items that are not in the original modules... This is also a very big problem. It’s a wonderful phenomenon. So it’s stored separately in [-]. However, there are conditions to inquire, remember to submit battle reports every time in the future.”

This exchange condition was very fair, An Ge naturally agreed.

Yue Zimo originally wanted to accompany An Ge to search for information, but was called away by the class teacher, so An Ge could concentrate on doing things instead.

The game items are really interesting, and they range from sci-fi energy weapons to ancient primitive stone axes, from airships to staffs.

But I haven't seen any similar records about "Artifact: Player's Handbook".

An Ge wasn't too disappointed, and returned home after returning the files.

Then, the prop quickly played its effect, and both he and Yue Zimo received the same message.

The new module they will enter together is titled "The Dark Gem of Linchuan City", and the prompt says: The background of this module is the contemporary overhead city, supernatural.

After that, no matter how much they resisted, the time passed extremely quickly, before they had time to do anything, the game began.

While staging the space, he opened the in-game store.Fantasy and sci-fi related items are all grayed out and cannot be purchased.

As for the props related to ghosts, he had already discussed with Yue Zimo to buy them before, including the requiem bell, the ghost compass, the exorcism talisman, and the exorcism magic talisman, which sounded intimidating.

He opened it now to check, just to be a little more cautious, to make sure to see if there was any change in the product.This is what Zhang Hong told them, because the modules are different, and original items usually appear in the store after entering the maintenance space.

Open it again this time, and sure enough, there are more props.

[Blowing Candles: Consumables, life-saving baby during power outages.It can withstand strong winds without extinguishing. 】

It's just a little expensive, 20 gold coins each, which is almost as expensive as healing potions.

An Ge thought it over and bought five.

Then, the Artifact Player's Handbook also popped up to prompt.In addition to the effects for him to re-select occupations and cross-race occupations to select skills, new effects have been added this time.

[The artifact effect activates.Don't panic, I still have a solution LVMAX: Artifact in hand, travel without worry. 】

[In order to adjust to the current world, all spells and magic items cannot be used. As compensation, other non-magic skills will be enhanced by 10%.Choose your skills accordingly. 】

It can be regarded as better than nothing.At least that means his skills in spotting and escaping can be put to greater use.

An Ge decided to continue to be a ranger, so he raised his hand, and suddenly felt... If he is set up like this, he will become more and more like a sensitive and timid rabbit, with two long ears pricked up, and he will wipe the soles of his feet when he hears the slightest movement. It's oily.

It is useless to run away blindly, not to mention that Yi Zai is fighting side by side with him this time, even if the opponent is a monster, there is always a way to deal with it.

He took a deep breath and resolutely chose the warrior profession.

The race still chose human beings, because they could obtain additional skills and expertise, which was equivalent to extra means of life-saving in supernatural games.

Moreover, humans can choose to add +2 points to any attribute, and An Ge will add the bonus to perception.Supernatural horror is always inseparable from fright. High perception means courage and firm will, and it is not easy to be frightened into weak legs. This is also the most important life-saving principle in horror movies.

Having said that, An Ge would rather face powerful enemies and dangers than face some ghostly and supernatural events...

Unfortunately, there is no choice.

While complaining, he finally completed the setting of the character card and entered the module.

He came to an ordinary-looking conference room, four or five people were already sitting around the big table, and some people appeared out of thin air one after another, and then looked around like An Ge.

At this stage, there are almost no newcomers to be seen. Everyone looks capable and calm, with their own skills.

Yue Zimo... he should be called Yizai again in the game, and he has arrived first, so An Ge naturally walked over and sat with him.

In just a short while, most of the conference table was filled with more than 15 people.

Then An Ge noticed an acquaintance appeared, so he gently tugged on Xia Yizi's sleeve as a signal.

Yi Zai also noticed it, and let out a small snort, "Zhang... Keke Xianxian is here, what a coincidence."

Xianxian obviously saw them too, with the same surprise and joy on his face.But there were no vacant seats next to them, so she had to sit across from them, and gave them a slight nod as a greeting.

There is an entire wall of the conference room covered with LCD screens, probably because everyone is here, and it lights up at this time.

An old man sitting in the study appeared on the screen. His gray cardigan matched his gray hair and beard very well. He had a big heart and a fat body. He looked like a KFC colonel in casual clothes at first glance.

He should be able to see the situation in the meeting room through the monitor, so he nodded with satisfaction: "Welcome everyone, you are all well-known detectives with outstanding contributions. Being invited to come here this time makes Peng Pi shine, Zheng Someone is deeply honored."

[System prompt: Zheng Rongtian, 75 years old, well-known real estate developer and rich man.A reward of [-] million is offered to invite detectives from all over the country to come and solve the problem. 】

This can be regarded as explaining the ins and outs of their gathering here, as well as the player identities set by the system—all of them are detectives.

This opening can be regarded as an old routine in TRPG board games, which is not surprising at all.

The old man looked around the conference room again, and said solemnly: "Everyone has signed the confidentiality agreement, please remember that the content of this entrustment must not be leaked."

After getting another guarantee from the players, he continued: "The content of this commission is to find someone."

A picture of a man appeared in the corner of the LCD screen, wearing a flowered shirt and diamond earrings. He looked handsome, and there was a tear mole growing under the outer corner of his right eye.

But the frivolous look is a minus item.He looked like a pretty street gangster, and no one would be surprised if he was a boy who lived off women.

"The information has been sent to everyone. This is all I know. If there is anything else you want to know, please investigate yourself. As previously agreed, as long as you accept the entrustment, there will be a reward of 100 million. If you can find important clues, there will be a reward of 1000 million. If you can find him alive, the reward will be - 50 million. I have asked a lawyer to notarize the reward, and this reward is legally binding. I, Zheng Rongtian, have [-] years of business reputation Guarantee, never break your promise. The opportunity to achieve a small goal is in front of you, don't miss it."

Let’s just count the part of the opening CG. A staff member in a black suit entered the meeting room and gave everyone an A4-sized, thick kraft paper bag.

The seal is still stuck tightly, and the moment it is opened, it makes people feel nervous about opening the college entrance examination paper.

The LCD screen went out, but none of the players left, they were all busy looking at the information.

Zheng Fuhao offered a reward of 31 million to find a man named Wang Baolin, [-] years old.Never married, never went to serious school, dropped out of high school, never had a serious job, and was in jail for stealing.

An Ge frowned and looked through his bad history, "Why do you offer a reward of [-] million to find him?"

Yizai smiled at the side: "Brother Clay, didn't you notice? This Wang Baolin grew up with his mother, and there is no record of his father at all. As for Zheng Rongtian's two sons, one died of illness two years ago, and the other was in an air crash half a year ago. He also died, leaving only two daughters."

It took An Ge a few seconds to react: "This is a bit miserable... No, no, right? An illegitimate child?"

Yi Zai shrugged: "That's all I guess."

Because there was so much to say, An Ge didn't bother to complain, so he continued to look through the information.

The information that Wang Baolin was last seen was four months ago in the small town of Fontainebleau on the western outskirts of Linchuan City.

This small town of Fontainebleau is actually a residential area. It was originally developed as a "luxury residential area" for the middle class. However, a tragic fire broke out more than a year ago, and news of ghosts spread later, causing housing prices to plummet. Originally Many of the residents have also moved out, and it has almost become a ghost town.

Although I don't know what Wang Baolin is doing there, it is obvious that this is the haunted house that players are going to challenge.
