chapter 117: calculations silvia pondered for a moment before continuing, "of course, once we gather five diamonds, you six can decide whether to use them to send one person away from sky floating island early, or stay until we have enough diamonds to send you all away at once. but these are matters for later. for now, i will be responsible for keeping the diamonds safe. you don't have any objections, do you?" "no objections," liu xing and the others said in unison. after all, living under someone else's roof, they were not in a position to disagree with silvia openly, even if they had reservations. at that moment, liu xing suddenly heard the sound of dice hitting the floor. he looked around to see the others doing the same, all searching for the person who had rolled the dice. was kp luo luo rolling the dice in secret? liu xing wondered. "alright, that's enough discussion for today. later, second auntie will bring her team to officially merge with ours. we will celebrate with a grand dinner. eat well and drink well, then we'll go to jigu to discuss a collaboration. after all, we need to demonstrate our strength to him," silvia concluded with satisfaction, clapping her hands and leaving the table first. second auntie then stood up, holding xiao liu like a doll, her arms limp and her gaze vacant, as second auntie carried her away. liu xing stood up, stretched lazily, and suddenly remembered something. should he tell ai mei about his encounter with nyarlathotep? after some thought, he decided to share it with ai mei and the others. since nyarlathotep had personally intervened, it was crucial for ai mei and the others to be fully prepared and alert for the upcoming promotion game. nyarlathotep was notoriously malevolent and took pleasure in toying with humans. indeed, liu xing and ji wu's act was a ploy to pressure kp luo luo into relaxing the san (sanity) value checks. after all, with more than five types of mythical creatures on the sky floating island, if they had to check their san values upon each encounter, liu xing and his companions would inevitably go insane. so, ji wu finally played to the strength of an occultist, a figure with "authority" on mythical creatures, implanting a psychological suggestion in "liu xing" and others to force kp luo luo to yield. now, ji wu and liu xing's successful collaboration forced kp luo luo to admit, "alright, you do have a point. initially, i planned to have you reduce 0 points on a successful san check and 1d2 points on a failure when encountering ghouls. but after your performance, i see no reason to subject you to san checks. and for the mythical creatures you'll meet next, i'll also consider lowering the difficulty of san checks." liu xing and ji wu shared a triumphant smile, their perfect teamwork saving everyone's san values. however, liu xing suddenly pondered a question. according to the rules of the cthulhu rpg game, when a player encounters a ghoul for the first time, failing the san check should result in a reduction of 1d6 points, not 1d2. the difference between 1d2 and 1d6 was significant and stark. so, liu xing boldly speculated, "kp, i have a question. the mythical creatures on sky floating island, they aren't real mythical creatures, are they?!"
