Chapter 230: The Mystery of Module Yueshihao Begins!

"Liu Xing, I'll add you as a friend in the lobby later. I think we'll be in the same module for the next one," Yin En patted Liu Xing's shoulder, smiling.

Liu Xing nodded in agreement. After all, in the final scene, "Liu Xing" and "Yin En" had boarded the same cruise ship heading for Cosmic Country. So, it was very likely that they would be involved in the same module again.

A minute later, KP Li Shunchan said with a smile, "Alright, it's time for me to send you all back. For those who cleared the module this time, aside from Yin En, who is the MVP, receiving a 1000-point reward, all other players will receive an 800-point reward and a one-point increase in intelligence attributes. This is because of the special hidden effect of King Tindalos Communicator. Well, see you all next time."New novel chapters are published on

As KP Li Shunchan's words faded, Liu Xing returned to the real world.

Stretching lazily as he stood up, Liu Xing received a friend request from Yin En. In the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, Yin En's ID was Ian.

"Liu Xing, have you seen the system notification? We have another module game tomorrow," Yin En messaged.

Liu Xing furrowed his brows at Yin En's first message and immediately checked the blinking red system message.

"Dear player Old Chinese Doctor, because you triggered the special module - 'The Mystery of Yueshihao,' please be prepared to enter the special module tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. Thank you for your cooperation."

Liu Xing stared at the system message, momentarily unsure of what to say. He had planned to take a few days off to enjoy life, but it seemed that he had stumbled upon another special module, and it appeared to be a closed module.

Closed modules were those where players could only operate within a limited area, such as a large mansion, a moving train, or, in this case, a cruise ship sailing in Cosmic Country. These modules were quite unfriendly to non-combat character cards like Liu Xing.

However, closed modules had their advantages. They made it easier to collect clues and interact with important characters within a short period, helping players establish their objectives early, unlike open modules where players often found themselves lost after spending a lot of time.

"Liu Xing, have you seen the system message?" Yin En messaged again.

Liu Xing rubbed his chin and replied, "I've seen the message. By the way, this Yueshihao cruise we're on, is it the same as the real-world Sewol ferry?"

The Sewol ferry, the Cosmic Country cruise ship, had experienced a tragic accident on April 16, 2014, resulting in over 300 deaths.

At first glance, the incident appeared to be a typical maritime disaster, albeit with a higher death toll. However, as more details emerged through media coverage, the Sewol ferry incident began to appear suspicious. Many believed it was not an accident but a deliberate act of murder.

After the Sewol ferry capsized, the official rescue efforts by Cosmic Country were notably slow, even seemingly apathetic. Moreover, civilian rescue teams attempting to enter the ferry were actively blocked by the Cosmic Country authorities.

As time passed, various peculiar aspects of the Sewol ferry disaster came to light. For example, the ferry was not supposed to depart on that day due to heavy fog, which caused nine other ships in the harbor to cancel their journeys. Only the Sewol ferry insisted on setting sail. Additionally, the ferry's navigation route showed an abrupt deviation from its normal path, leading to its capsizing. When the ferry first capsized, the captain instructed passengers to stay in their rooms and await rescue, but he and the crew abandoned ship, locking escape routes behind them.

Visiting the Collector involved reaching Cosmic Country successfully and guaranteed obtaining one fragment of "The Secret Scripture of Xuanjun."

In essence, this Interlude Growth meant that if Liu Xing could complete the module tomorrow, he would definitely acquire a fragment of "The Secret Scripture of Xuanjun."

Liu Xing rubbed his chin and decided to go out for a meal.

The next morning at nine o'clock, after finishing breakfast, Liu Xing clicked on the game matchmaking and waited for the module to begin.

At exactly ten o'clock, Liu Xing entered the module:

Since this module followed the previous one closely, Liu Xing hadn't been able to add any other items to his inventory. Also, due to Kanna Ryoko, his phone had been reduced to just a phone card.

But most importantly, Liu Xing's Cthulhu Mythos Knowledge had crossed into double digits, which wasn't good news at all.
