Chapter 104: The Third Promotion Game Begins
As an action-oriented person, Liu Xing moved to Qingyang District early the next morning, needing only to take some clothes with him.
Upon arriving at his new home, Liu Xing tidied up a bit before booting up his computer, ready to start his third promotion game.
Liu Xing always believed in facing challenges head-on, eager to complete these three promotion games and relieve himself of this psychological burden.
Thus, Liu Xing launched the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall and immediately clicked to match a game.
With the experience of two previous game queues, Liu Xing didn't wait diligently in front of the computer this time, but instead, lay on his bed, happily engaging in the BL route...
An hour later, Liu Xing started browsing Bilibili...
Two hours later, he began contemplating life...
Three hours later, he started eating lunch...
Ten hours passed, and Liu Xing, eating dinner while gazing at the locked computer screen, pondered whether he had neglected to check the almanac that morning and whether it advised against playing games.
Just as Liu Xing finished dinner and was about to close the matchmaking interface to invite Wu Lei for dinner, he suddenly experienced a familiar blurring of vision - the third promotion game had finally been matched!
The familiar Interlude Growth interface appeared.
"Studying a fragment of 'The Secret Scriptures of Xuanjun,' no accidents occurred. Skill learned - Summoning the Earth-boring Demon Worm: Using this spell will cost 5 magic points and 1d3 SAN points, with a 50% chance of successfully summoning the Earth-boring Demon Worm. The success rate increases by 30% if used in an area recently hit by an earthquake. This study cost the player 2 SAN points and gained 2 points in Cthulhu Mythos knowledge."
"Physical training, no accidents occurred, resulting in a total increase of 3 attribute points, with agility increasing by 2 points, and strength by 1 point."
"Becoming a web novelist, unexpected event - Endorsement by a renowned book list curator. Your novel 'The Real Cthulhu RPG Game' received a recommendation, marking your rise from obscurity to a recognized author, gaining an additional 5 credit points and 5000 in extra income."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow; this Interlude Growth was better than expected, although he still lost 2 SAN points while studying 'The Secret Scriptures of Xuanjun.'

Background: A regular doctor who, during a trip to England, helped the police solve hundreds of unresolved missing person cases, gaining not only a reward but also domestic media attention.

During a mission to aid earthquake relief in the northwest, he was trapped in a collapsed vehicle, buried under soil and rocks. Fortunately, he was rescued quickly without serious harm.
Connection to this scenario: After returning to Rongcheng from the northwest, Liu Xing found a strange spell recorded on a paper in his backpack. Learning this spell greatly impacted him, and recalling past events, he felt an eerie chill...
Fortunately, Liu Xing's initially lackluster novel gained some recognition after being endorsed by a renowned book list curator, making him a somewhat famous author.

Once again experiencing a blur before his eyes, Liu Xing found himself seated in a transport plane, with the roar of the engines filling his ears.
He noticed five fully armed, puzzled young people sitting next to him, clearly the other players.
“Hello players, I'm Luo Luo, the game master (kp) for this promotion game. I’m the type who’s open to player suggestions and will consider good ideas, but I dislike unreasonable players. Don’t annoy me, as players who offend the kp tend not to last long.” The game master's voice was magnetic and pleasant, giving Liu Xing the sensation of listening to a radio drama, creating a favorable impression.
“However, this promotion game is quite special, belonging to a unique scenario. As you all might be aware, you’ve accepted an invitation from Nyarlathotep and are participating in this dream game. But this isn't just a dream; it's a special world created by Nyarlathotep, think of it as Nyarlathotep’s playground.”
“Now, let's formally start the story of this promotion game. In fact, I can already tell you the objectives. There are two tasks, and completing either one will lead to a successful clearance. The first task is to be the last survivor; if you're the last player alive, you'll automatically clear the game. The second task is to collect five diamonds. There are a total of twenty-five diamonds in the game, so theoretically, all players could clear the game,” explained KP Luo Luo with a smile.
