Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 159: The Stubborn Young Man

Liu Xing hurriedly contacted KP Li Shunchan, earnestly inquiring, "KP, what on earth is this Inch Fist? Moreover, Ze Tian Yinyin's damage should exceed 20, right? If I didn't see it wrong just now, the door to this room is about three to four centimeters thick. And that explosive effect was quite terrifying. Could this be the long-lost scattergun fist in the martial world?"

KP Li Shunchan chuckled and replied seriously, "Hmm, yes, the damage caused by Ze Tian Yinyin just now indeed exceeded 20 points. However, that's the most ideal situation. Ze Tian Yinyin's expected attack value is only around 10 points. As for the Inch Fist, it's a unique feature introduced in this module. Many NPCs in this module possess martial arts skills. Due to different techniques, the damage also varies. So, corresponding move names have been arranged. For example, Ze Tian Yinyin's Inch Fist just dealt 1d8 damage."

KP Li Shunchan's explanation made Liu Xing even more alarmed. With only 8 HP, he realized that this person named Ze Tian Yinyin had an expected damage value of 10 points. In other words, Ze Tian Yinyin could easily kill him.

Liu Xing was now certain that this module was the legendary martial arts module. According to the information revealed by KP Li Shunchan, there were many NPCs in this module, like Ze Tian Yinyin, who were skilled in combat. As a weak doctor, he might end up being flattened and rolled over.

The future looked bleak.

Just then, the voice of a young man rang out, "Oh my, KP, aren't you going to control this NPC? With such high damage, if it weren't for the NPC's failed judgment, I'm afraid I would have been knocked out with a single punch. This module is too terrifying. Importing the plot can actually kill a player!"

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow. It was evident that the owner of this voice was the middle-aged drunkard who had been frightened and paralyzed on the ground by Ze Tian Yinyin's terrifying damage. However, this voice was clearly different from the one the middle-aged man had made just now.

Liu Xing was now certain that this "middle-aged man" had undergone disguise, and the original person should be a young man. The specific profession of this player was probably yet to be confirmed.

After all, the skill of disguise could only be learned by a few professions, and these professions generally wouldn't invest in the disguise skill. After all, in many situations, the disguise skill was considered redundant, tasteless, and a waste, except for a relatively special profession – the fraudster.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing remembered the unidentified micro-object currently being stepped on by the "middle-aged man." It was very likely a listening device because the room where the "middle-aged man" was located was too far from Ze Tian Yinyin, making it impossible to hear the conversation between Ze Tian Yinyin and the young man.

"Haha, Watanabe Jiang, you can rest assured. This module hasn't gone crazy to that extent. Starting off by killing a player with a headshot, if Ze Tian Yinyin's attack judgment had succeeded just now, then Ze Tian Yinyin's fist would have stopped in front of you. At most, you would have lost one or two HP due to the forceful wind." KP Li Shunchan said with a laugh.

At this moment, Ze Tian Yinyin glanced disdainfully at Watanabe Jiang, then ignored him and turned to the young man, smiling and asking, "Alright, the bug has been taken care of. Do you still want to fight with me now?"

"Uh-huh, of course! How can a man refuse?"

To Liu Xing's surprise, the young man still chose to accept Ze Tian Yinyin's challenge even after witnessing the terrifying damage caused by Ze Tian Yinyin.

Could this player be incredibly bold?

Liu Xing looked at the young man in confusion. Although his physique seemed impressive, likely belonging to a combat-oriented character card, he might still be insufficient against an NPC like Ze Tian Yinyin with off-the-charts damage.

Unless this young man's agility surpassed Ze Tian Yinyin's, allowing him to defeat Ze Tian Yinyin first, there wouldn't be much chance of victory.

Therefore, Liu Xing didn't consider accepting Ze Tian Yinyin's challenge to be a wise choice.

However, Liu Xing could guess that the young man accepted Ze Tian Yinyin's challenge because he had been misled by the traits or titles of his character card. Also, there was no need to worry about the young man's safety since Ze Tian Yinyin would likely pull back at the last moment.

Yet, Liu Xing felt that the situation was getting out of control. It was evident that Ze Tian Yinyin was an important NPC, or one could say, an important "thug." Since friendly NPCs had such high combat power, it was certain that the enemy's combat power wouldn't be low either.

Once, an elder had said that only magic could counter magic. Hence, only NPCs could deal with NPCs. Ze Tian Yinyin seemed like an NPC that needed to be won over.

But now, a fight was about to break out. What kind of situation was this?

So, Liu Xing, who had been a spectator until now, felt it was time to step in and mediate the conflict between the two sides.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xing opened the door and, with a confused look, said, "Uh, what's going on here? Why are you guys standing in the hallway in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Seeing Liu Xing step out, the young man quickly gave him a signal, confirming Liu Xing's thoughts. Therefore, Liu Xing began to placate, "Alright, alright. Let's all go back to sleep. Don't stand here."

As Liu Xing spoke, he tried to push the young man back into his room. After all, it takes two to tango.

However, Ze Tian Yinyin was unrelenting, continuing, "Oh, trying to run away now? Tut, tut, tut."

Ze Tian Yinyin used taunting, and the effect was outstanding!

The young man sighed, gently pushing Liu Xing away, and earnestly said, "Originally, I intended not to fight with women, but since this lady insists, I can only accompany you for a good fight. However, this is a hallway. We shouldn't disturb other guests. How about we go to the hotel's gym? What do you think?"

Ze Tian Yinyin chuckled and nodded, saying, "No need for more words. Let's go. I remember the hotel's gym is open 24 hours."

After saying this, Ze Tian Yinyin turned and left on his own.

The young man jogged back to his room, took out a backpack, and then invited Liu Xing to go to the gym together.

As for the "middle-aged man," he had disappeared without a trace.

Following KP Li Shunchan's guidance, Liu Xing and the young man found the hotel's gym, where Ze Tian Yinyin had already prepared in a vacant space.

Liu Xing patted the young man on the shoulder, looking sympathetic, and said, "Wishing you good luck."
