Rendezvous

It was clear that the god named Sulu mentioned in the stone tablet was definitely Cthulhu. As for the so-called "passing down the dharma in dreams," it was simply The Call of Cthulhu. After a mental communication between the Taoist priest and Cthulhu, Cthulhu taught the Taoist priest the ritual for the Harvest Festival. The price, naturally, was that the residents of this small county town had all become Cthulhu's Followers.

Although for an evil god of Cthulhu's caliber, it made no difference whether he had followers or not, as Cthulhu wouldn't become stronger from faith, no one would find being worshipped troublesome, right? Moreover, for Cthulhu, followers were equivalent to delicious food...

However, what Liu Xing was confused about now was why the stone tablet didn't mention what kind of offerings were needed for the Harvest Festival.

In Liu Xing's opinion, the task for this Advancement Game would definitely involve the offerings needed for the Harvest Festival, so Liu Xing now regretted not bringing the Qingming Sacrifice.

"Di Di Di."

Liu Xing's phone suddenly rang. Upon opening it, he saw a message from someone named Ming Shi Xiang. It seemed this Ming Shi Xiang was a player.

"Old Chinese Doctor, it's time to meet up. Hurry to the entrance of the Harvest Festival."

Liu Xing put away his phone and began heading towards the entrance of the Harvest Festival.

In a short while, Liu Xing arrived at the entrance of the Harvest Festival and found that the other four players had already arrived – two men and two women.

I have to say, these two female players were extremely beautiful. Liu Xing estimated their APPs to be around 80.

However, what surprised Liu Xing was that one of the more mature-looking female players appeared to be from Eastern Europe based on her features.

Has the Cthulhu Mythos tabletop RPG Game Hall already gone global?

But thinking about it, the Cthulhu Mythos originated from abroad, and its audience there must be larger than in China. Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the Cthulhu Mythos tabletop RPG Game Hall definitely had more foreign players than domestic ones, so encountering a foreign player now wasn't strange.

The other female player, who looked like a high school student, was wearing a kimono. Liu Xing thought she must be Ming Shi Xiang, who had sent him the message, and she seemed to be from the islands.

Speaking of which, Liu Xing just remembered that the Kite, who had already left, also looked like a foreigner.

Liu Xing hadn't expected to be participating in an Advancement Game with international friends this time.

As for the other two male players, they both looked like they were from China. However, one of them seemed to have injured his leg and was using a crutch, while the other player had an honest and simple appearance, looking like a trustworthy teammate.

Liu Xing jogged over and said with a smile to the other four players, "Sorry, sorry, I just went to Immortal Crane Temple to take a look and encountered some things. My name is Liu Xing, and my online alias is Old Chinese Doctor."

The female player who looked like a high school student smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, we just arrived here too. I'm Ming Shi Xiang, who messaged you earlier. Although I'm from the islands, I grew up in China, so my Chinese is pretty good."

The male player who seemed injured also greeted Liu Xing, "I'm Li Ming. I was in a car accident while traveling a while ago, and my leg got injured. I hope you all won't abandon me and will play with me."

Liu Xing naturally understood the implication of Li Ming's words. After all, if they encountered any Mythical Creatures in this Advancement Game, with Li Ming's current mobility, he would likely just become food.

"Of course, we are all friends. How could we abandon you and play without you? By the way, my name is Tian Dao. Nice to meet you all." Tian Dao patted Li Ming's shoulder and said with a smile.

"I'm Tina, from Ukraine. I've been living in China for seven or eight years. By the way, my online aliases are Head Taker * Avatar of the Dice Goddess * Wangba Fist Grandmaster * Slacker." Tina chuckled, awkwardly stating her impressive-sounding online aliases...

"Haha, apart from Tina, the other players are probably encountering the Title System for the first time. Let me give you a brief explanation." Kpcao suddenly appeared and said with a smile, "The Title System is a major feature of our Cthulhu Mythos tabletop RPG Game Hall. After each game, the kp may award a title to a player based on their performance. Of course, these titles have no additional attributes, but they can let other players know about the player's performance in previous games. Players with titles must inform the other players of their titles during the Imported Plot."

Liu Xing had initially just found Tina's online aliases impressive, but now, Liu Xing looked at Tina with some concern because Tina's first title was "Head Taker"!

As soon as kpcao finished speaking, Liu Xing and the others took a step back in unison, distancing themselves from Tina...

Tina, on the other hand, had a look of utter despair on her face.

"Hahaha, don't look at me like that. Actually, Tina's first title, Head Taker, was given to her by me. Because she fell into Temporary Insanity during a game I was hosting, she killed more than ten chickens, all by decapitating them directly, hehe," Kpcao said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Liu Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Tina wasn't as threatening as he'd imagined. However, Liu Xing felt that kpcao seemed rather unreliable.

After this minor interlude with the titles, everyone continued to play their roles.

"Oh right, does anyone have Alger's phone number? I've tried calling Alger several times, but he hasn't answered. You guys try too," Tina said, waving her phone with a helpless expression.

Alger was Kite's Character Card.

Although everyone knew Kite had dropped out, their Character Cards did not, so they had to continue playing like this.

As an eyewitness to Kite's dropout, Liu Xing naturally stepped forward. "Uh, if nothing unexpected happened, Alger might have gone to the hospital. I think I saw a foreigner being taken to the hospital because of an injury just now at the temple."

Thus, Liu Xing told everyone about Kite's miserable state...

Although the others knew Kite had been sent to the hospital due to an injury, they didn't know the specific reason for it. So, upon learning the truth, everyone was dumbfounded.

Clearly, everyone was stunned by Kite's breathtaking maneuver!
