Chapter 142: Back to Reality

According to Aughra, the surface area of Sky Floating Island was now comparable to that of China's territory. The division into thousands of regions indicated the presence of thousands of mythical creatures more powerful than Elder Ghouls. Beings like Aughra, external god incarnates, might just be guardians or bosses of certain regions.

However, returning to the main point, even if the Sky Floating Island scenario officially launched, it would be entrusted to players in the Cthulhu region to explore. As a player from the Ghoul region, no, as a novice who had just ascended to the Shoggoth region, Liu Xing didn't even have the qualification to enter Sky Floating Island.

Thinking about this, Liu Xing felt a sense of relief; it seemed he wouldn't have to face danger so soon.

"Alright, take this, and you can leave," Aughra said, handing a pocket to Liu Xing.

Perplexed, Liu Xing took the pocket. Suddenly, everything blurred before his eyes. When he regained his senses, Liu Xing found himself sitting in a pavilion. Across from him sat a young man in traditional Chinese clothing, undoubtedly KP Luo Luo.

"Oh, you finally arrived. I was worried that Aughra might have done something to you," KP Luo Luo said with a smile.

Shaking his head, Liu Xing glanced around and asked, "Um, Aughra is actually not bad. By the way, have the others already returned to the real world?"

"Yeah, because of Aughra's interference, the settlement of this promotion game was simplified. Firstly, player Liu Xing gained 1000 points and a custom-made pistol by Nyarlathotep. By the way, Nyarlathotep's custom pistol has undergone some changes. Players can check the specifics in the real world through the item interface," KP Luo Luo said with a hint of frustration.

Liu Xing chuckled; he didn't expect the rewards for this promotion game to be so abundant. Just the 1000 points alone made him ecstatic, not to mention the fact that he also received Nyarlathotep's custom pistol.

It's worth noting that Liu Xing's character card was of Chinese nationality, making it quite challenging to acquire firearms. Moreover, Liu Xing's profession was a doctor, making it practically impossible for him to come into contact with firearms.

In the Cthulhu RPG Game, firearms played a crucial role. They allowed long-distance attacks, could perform multiple attacks in each combat round, and dealt substantial damage. Since most enemies in the Cthulhu RPG Game were melee units, the advantages of firearms were even more apparent.

However, firearms also had significant drawbacks. Firstly, there was the issue of accuracy. Liu Xing's pistol shooting skill had a basic value of only 20, so hitting an enemy was nearly impossible.

Secondly, there was the problem of ammunition. Specific firearms required specific bullets, and some bullets were not easy to obtain, especially in scenarios set in China. Liu Xing had virtually no way of acquiring any bullets in such scenarios, rendering his pistol useless.

Therefore, Liu Xing began contemplating where he could find bullets. However, he was still unaware of the type of bullets Nyarlathotep's custom pistol required.

"Alright, now that you've got Nyarlathotep's special chicken rice, I'll just send you back to reality," KP Luo Luo said, glancing at the pocket in Liu Xing's hand and smiling.

As soon as KP Luo Luo finished speaking, Liu Xing experienced the familiar darkness before returning to the real world.

Standing up, Liu Xing stretched lazily and suddenly realized he was still holding the pocket in his hand.

"I can't believe I brought this pocket to the real world. Don't tell me this is a forced consumption?" Liu Xing hadn't forgotten that bringing items from the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall to reality required spending points.

Ignoring the changes to his character card, Liu Xing directly opened the item page and found that he now had 1083 points. This meant that bringing the pocket from the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall didn't consume any points.

"But if I heard correctly, KP Luo Luo said this pocket contains Nyarlathotep's special chicken rice. Is this something meant for humans to eat?" Liu Xing looked at the pocket, expressing some confusion.

After all, Nyarlathotep was an outer god, and Liu Xing was just a human. Chicken rice made by an outer god didn't seem like something meant for humans to consume. However, Liu Xing realized he successfully got chicken without firing a single shot this time.

"According to KP Luo Luo, Ji Wu and the others also received Nyaruko's special chicken rice. However, mine should be a special version, or else Aughra wouldn't have personally handed it to me. Aughra shouldn't harm me; there's no need. Let's see how it looks first before deciding whether to eat it."

After some contemplation, Liu Xing decided to open the pocket and see how Nyarlathotep's special chicken rice looked.

Taking out a plastic container from the pocket—a common takeout box—Liu Xing opened it. Finally, he saw Nyarlathotep's special chicken rice. As a chicken rice specially made by an outer god, it didn't look any different from ordinary chicken rice. Liu Xing even suspected that Nyarlathotep had ordered takeout from some food delivery platform and put his name on it!

"It looks like it's edible," Liu Xing said while carefully taking a bite using the spoon that came with the pocket.

Isn't this just chicken rice?! Liu Xing raised an eyebrow. Nyarlathotep's special chicken rice was indeed no different from the chicken rice on those food delivery platforms.

"I can't believe this chicken rice is meant for humor. But after finishing the mission, I am a bit hungry," Liu Xing commented while eating.

While Liu Xing was enjoying Nyarlathotep's special chicken rice, Aughra on Sky Floating Island emerged from the church, observing the motionless Elder Ghoul and Jigu.

"Ah, how should this bug be resolved? It's so annoying," Aughra said, rubbing the back of his head in frustration.

Suddenly, Aughra lightly jumped to the right, and a massive tombstone fell from the sky, landing heavily where Aughra had been standing a moment earlier.

"Black Pharaoh, how many times have I told you not to randomly throw things? Why don't you listen? What if it hits someone?" Aughra chuckled, turning around.

At this moment, a pitch-black Pharaoh coffin appeared in front of Aughra.

Aughra tapped the Pharaoh coffin and said with a smile, "Black Pharaoh, if you have the ability, come out. Don't hide inside. I know you're in there."
