Chapter 106: A Reputation Well-Earned

Archaeologists and Occultists are undoubtedly the riskiest professions in the world of Cthulhu RPG Game, and they are also the ultimate party wipeout engines. After all, in the world of Cthulhu RPG Game, these two professions are either courting death or well on their way to it.

Most scenarios in the Cthulhu RPG Game involve some level of mystery and ancient legends. For Archaeologists and Occultists, this inevitably leads to research and exploration. And then... well, there is no "then."

As a result, Liu Xing felt that the difficulty of the third promotion game was steadily increasing. After all, the combination of an Archaeologist and an Occultist is like combining two dangerous weapons. Who knows what kind of trouble they might stir up?

Moreover, Liu Xing also saw a significant issue with the team composition this time. A Doctor, a Psychiatrist, a Pharmacist, an Archaeologist, an Occultist, and a Company Manager—all support-oriented professions. While all players had temporarily gained firearm proficiency skills this time, who could guarantee that there would be enough bullets on Sky Floating Island? In case firearms or ammunition ran out, the players without combat abilities would be helpless.

This was a combat-oriented Cthulhu RPG Game scenario. Players without combat abilities would essentially be rolling dice with each step, hoping they wouldn't die in the next moment.

"KP, we need to start a Private Room session," Ji Wu, sitting across from Liu Xing, suddenly spoke up.

"Sure, but keep in mind that you have only four minutes left before you can start parachuting," KP Luo Luo said with a smile.

Ji Wu nodded and then smiled at everyone, saying, "I never expected us to be chosen by Nyarlathotep this time. It seems that our chances in this third promotion game are slim. However, theoretically, we still have a chance to succeed..."

"Hehe, my friend, you're being too optimistic. The so-called 'theoretically' is equivalent to 'impossible' here. After all, this is Nyarlathotep's playground, not your local kindergarten. Even if there are twenty-five diamonds on Sky Floating Island, I think the most we can easily get is five diamonds. And these five diamonds are nothing more than a scheme to sow discord!" The one who retorted Ji Wu was none other than Ai Mei, who was sitting next to Liu Xing. Liu Xing didn't expect Ai Mei, who appeared to be a friendly neighbor, to have a sharp tongue.

The group nodded in agreement.

Liu Xing continued, "Secondly, even though we are a temporary alliance, we still need to trust each other to some extent. So, if anyone tries to attack a teammate, we will collectively retaliate and make them pay the price."

"Liu Xing is right. No one likes a traitor. I support Liu Xing's idea, and if anyone dares to backstab us, I will personally make sure they regret it!" Ji Wu said firmly.

However, Liu Xing's next words made Ji Wu somewhat awkward, "Um, the last point, I want to clarify that I'm not targeting Pei Si and Ji Wu specifically. It's just that everyone knows how formidable Archaeologists and Occultists can be. So, I believe we need to keep a close eye on them, maybe even have a two-on-one watch. I hope Ji Wu and Pei Si will cooperate."

Immediately, Ai Mei and the others nodded, leaving Pei Si and Ji Wu slightly bemused.

"Well, my Archaeologist has always been discriminated against in various ways, and now I have nothing to say. But I'm willing to cooperate because I don't want to court death. In the last promotion game, the party wipeout was my doing. I took a jade pendant from an ancient tomb, which attracted a horde of Formless Offspring..." Pei Si said with a helpless expression.

Ji Wu shrugged and added, "Alright, I'm willing to cooperate as well. After all, I'm in a similar boat to Pei Si. In the last promotion game, I triggered a plot point and released dozens of Ghoul by accident, causing a massive party wipeout."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow; these Archaeologists and Occultists certainly lived up to their reputation.
