Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 156: Can This Be Cleared?!

"KP, I'm going to throw the poison vial directly at Dread Hunter now!" Addison declared decisively.

Addison, 100/45, critical failure!

...

Everyone looked at Addison in shock. They didn't expect him to throw a critical failure at a crucial moment!

"Haha, Addison, you're surprisingly lucky. So, when you threw the poison vial, it hit Dread Hunter on the head, bounced back, and flew towards Liu Xing, who is closest to Dread Hunter. Now, Liu Xing, it's your turn to be lucky," KP Ghost said with a smirk.

Liu Xing, 57/50, failure.

Liu Xing chuckled, foreseeing his own fate. All he could do was smile on the outside while thinking, "Damn it, Addison! What happened to your European bloodline promise? How did it turn into a critical failure, and you even got me into trouble!"

"Haha, as the poison vial flew back, Liu Xing happened to open his mouth, swallowed the vial, and then the poison took effect. The minimum damage of the poison vial was already higher than Liu Xing's health, causing him to die instantly. Now, the game continues," KP Ghost said with a laugh.

So, Liu Xing watched helplessly as Addison threw the poison vial, it bounced back from Dread Hunter's head, and landed perfectly in his wide-open mouth.

Next, Liu Xing felt a bitter almond taste in his mouth, and then everything went black as he was eliminated amid laughter and cheers.

When Liu Xing regained consciousness, he found himself back in the real world. Unlike the previous sessions where they experienced ending scenes and settlement processes after clearing the campaign, this time was different.

However, on the computer, Liu Xing still saw the point rewards for this module—700 points.

"Hmm, why is it 700 points? Could it be that getting killed by poison counts as clearing the stage directly?" Liu Xing said, surprised.

But after some thought, Liu Xing realized that it might be a possibility. After all, KP Ghost mentioned that everyone was in a dream world, and players were in a spiritual or other form while active in this dream world. So, when a player dies in the dream world, they should wake up in the real world as if from a nightmare.

Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, unexpectedly benefiting from the misfortune and clearing the stage directly.

1783 points.

Looking at his point count, Liu Xing realized he was now a "wealthy" person, capable of sustaining himself in the real world for nearly five years.

However, Liu Xing felt that the Cthulhu RPG Game was still quite thrilling. Experiencing various mythical creatures and supernatural phenomena was something he never dared to imagine before.

Of course, it was also because he still had two backup character cards. These cards ensured he had a chance to rise again after a failure. Therefore, Liu Xing found participating in the Cthulhu RPG Game quite interesting when he had nothing else to do.

Wait a minute, why did he have such strange thoughts? Did he become a masochist?

Liu Xing pondered with some confusion.

However, at this moment, Liu Xing suddenly remembered something. It seemed that he had promised the administrator of the An Family, Perfect Future, that he would contact him after advancing to the Shoggoth Region.

Liu Xing vividly remembered that Perfect Future had promised him quite a few benefits. So, Liu Xing reached out to Perfect Future.

Just as Liu Xing sent a greeting, Perfect Future immediately replied, "Have you advanced to the Shoggoth Region?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then I'll send you an invitation link to join the An Family's branch in the Shoggoth Region."

Liu Xing clicked the provided link and successfully joined the An Family's Shoggoth branch.

Upon joining the guild, a trade interface popped up. Liu Xing only needed to pay a cost of 100 points to acquire five items.

The first item was a Swiss Army Knife (authentic), providing bonuses in certain judgments, with specific bonuses depending on the situation. Its price in the shop was 50 points.

The second item was an Infinite Cookie Box, similar in size to a packet of instant noodles. It automatically generated a cookie daily, enough to sustain one person's food needs. Its shop price was 50 points.

The third item was a Marking Tattoo. Players could add a permanent tattoo to their character card, usable up to ten times. It also cost 50 points in the shop.

The fourth item was a Universal Elixir, capable of curing any ailment and could be used on NPCs. Its shop price was 100 points.

The fifth item was a Portable Stun Baton, appearing like a regular pen but causing 2d3 damage instantly to enemies. It had a 20% chance of paralyzing the enemy. When fully charged, it could be used five times, and its shop price was 150 points.

In short, Liu Xing could now purchase items worth 400 points with just 100 points.

As Perfect Future mentioned earlier, these five items were very practical. The Swiss Army Knife had multifunctional uses, providing various bonuses. The Infinite Cookie Box ensured players wouldn't go hungry in modules with limited resources. The Marking Tattoo allowed better identification, especially for players in the same guild, making it easier to find each other. As for the Portable Stun Baton, it was an extremely useful weapon with a guaranteed minimum damage of 2 points and a paralysis effect, albeit with a limited number of uses.

After some thought, Liu Xing decisively clicked to accept the trade.

Thus, Liu Xing's points decreased to 1683 points, but he gained five practical items.

At this point, Perfect Future sent another message, "Sorry, I have a bit of something to deal with right now, so I'm going offline. I'll talk to you about some things later when I have the chance."

Liu Xing shrugged, replied with a "Goodbye," and then logged out of the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall.

However, Liu Xing hadn't forgotten the "Chat Room" that Addison mentioned. So, he picked up his phone and indeed found a new application — Cthulhu RPG GameChat Room.

Shaking his head, Liu Xing complained about the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall being a bit unprofessional for adding an application without notice. Nevertheless, he opened the Cthulhu RPG GameChat Room.

Just as Addison had described, the main interface of the Cthulhu RPG GameChat Room was not much different from domestic forums: "It's so cold on rainy days."
