chapter 71: doubts liu xing raised an eyebrow, surprised that kp cao was so straightforward in revealing that the strange city they discussed was indeed the lost ancient city of r'lyeh. this revelation led liu xing to further suspect the old taoist. could he be an incarnation of cthulhu? however, kp cao didn't give liu xing much time to ponder. smiling, he said, "congratulations, player old chinese doctor, for completing the scenario 'harvest festival' and achieving the perfect ending with no player deaths. you also completed the hidden quests, safely escorting nan xiaoniao back to the real world. thus, you've earned a total of 450 points: 200 as a basic reward for completing the scenario, 100 for the perfect ending, and 150 for the hidden quests." liu xing nodded, pleasantly surprised by the generous rewards of this promotion game. indeed, greater risk brought greater points. "next is the character relationship reward. as the police couldn't find nan xiaoniao's family for various reasons, liu xing has adopted her. thus, in your character relationships, you gain a foster daughter, nan xiaoniao, with a friendliness level of 80. in certain special scenarios, you can bring nan xiaoniao along," continued kp cao. "however, since player old chinese doctor didn't earn any growth marks this time, we'll skip that part and move to the question phase. as you and tina are the mvps, each of you can ask two questions. though, you'll also be privy to the questions and answers of other players." liu xing nodded and without hesitation asked, "ok, then i want to know, who exactly is that old taoist?" kp cao was momentarily stumped by liu xing's question. after a brief silence and a somewhat awkward response, he said, "uh, that's a bit beyond the scope of the game. the old taoist wasn't supposed to appear in this scenario. i don't know why the higher-ups suddenly introduced him, and even let you see the ancient city of r'lyeh... but since you insist, i can only reveal his rank. i, as the kp, am not privy to his true identity. i can only see his level." the thought of thousands of formless offspring in the dense fog sent a chill down liu xing's spine. "can one actually play this game?" he wondered. however, his curiosity was piqued about why the kps seemed to favor him with extra information. was it because of his good looks or some protagonist's aura he possessed? with this thought, liu xing couldn't help but ask kp cao, "do all of you kps like to provide extra information to players? the three kps i've met have all given me quite a bit of information." kp cao chuckled and replied, "it's better for you not to know too much. simply put, we kps see great potential in newcomers like you. kp004, who you must know, is a person i greatly respect. he mentioned you a few days ago, saying you have a good chance of advancing to the cthulhu region. it's a coincidence that this promotion game brought me to you, a kind of fate, i suppose." liu xing raised an eyebrow, surprised to learn that kp cao was kp004's junior. this was indeed a rare coincidence. it made liu xing realize that the kps of the cthulhu role-playing game hall were interconnected. therefore, liu xing tentatively said to kp cao, "so, all of you kps..." before he could finish, kp cao shook his head vigorously and interrupted, "friend, some things are not for you to ask. you understand what i mean, right?" liu xing nodded, indicating he understood kp cao's point, but his curiosity about the kps only grew.
