In this real Cthulhu RPG Game, some values are not as clear as they are noted on the character card interface, and they may change from time to time depending on the situation.
Just like some modules that take place during the Prohibition era in the United States of America, even if your character card has very high points in conversation skills, if your character card is not Caucasian, you still have a very high chance of being rejected by a white person when asking them a question, and you won't even get the chance to roll the dice.
This is the reality, as racial discrimination in the United States of America at that time was extremely severe.
In addition, some NPCs' personalities are set to be very extreme in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, and one of the more common ones is a disdain for the poor and a love for the rich. If the player can demonstrate their wealth when facing such NPCs, it will be much easier to communicate with them, and they won't need to make any Judgments.
Of course, Liu Xing has also heard on the forum that some players have encountered an NPC in a module who possesses very important information, but this NPC may have fallen into a very serious state of insanity due to encountering a mythical creature a long time ago, so now whenever she sees or hears a male, she will immediately have a mental breakdown and faint.
And the worst part is that all four players in that module are male...
Back to the topic, since Liu Xing is now in an Island Nation, which is a typical capitalist country, and the bubble crisis that occurred in the past has also made the Island Nation a country where materialism prevails, here, as long as you have money, you can be the boss... Of course, in most countries in this world, as long as you have money, you can be the boss.
So Liu Xing has always felt that it is a very correct choice for their group to dress well.
However, Liu Xing has now found that their group's situation is a bit embarrassing - due to the clothing issue, they are unable to apply for the janitor position at Tokyo Comprehensive University.
It seems that everything has its pros and cons.
So, the group's attention is all on Ming Hanxing.
Although Ming Hanxing is also a player, due to his identity, he has always been acting separately from Liu Xing and the others.
Therefore, Liu Xing and the others feel that they can let Ming Hanxing try to become the leader of the cleaning team, because in the internal group of teachers at Tokyo Comprehensive University, a teacher has mentioned that the university's leadership is currently troubled by a problem, which is that although there are many students willing to join the cleaning team, there are not many teachers willing to take charge of the cleaning team work, after all, the salaries of the teachers at Tokyo Comprehensive University are quite good.
So now letting Ming Hanxing join the cleaning team should not be a problem at all, and there should not be any pressure.
When the others were all looking at him, Ming Hanxing could only nod helplessly and say, "Okay, I understand your meaning. Now I will go and sign up for the cleaning team, but I still need to make a point in advance. I feel that even if I join the cleaning team, I may not be able to be in the same group as Zhang Shiwu. If the area I'm responsible for is too far from Cross Lake, then I won't be able to do anything about it, because I can't just abandon my current work and go to Cross Lake."
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile, "Teacher Ming, as long as you are at Tokyo Comprehensive University and keep an eye on your mobile phone ringtone, that's fine. The mission to monitor Cross Lake is still assigned to Miguel, and if Miguel sends you a message saying that Zhang Shiwu or Mu Yao are about to take action, you can just rush to Cross Lake to buy us some time. Of course, if necessary, you can also take some students to observe around Cross Lake. I believe Zhang Shiwu and Mu Yao won't want to make a big fuss."
"That's right, Teacher Ming, your mission target this time is not to monitor Zhang Shiwu and Mu Yao, but to limit the possibility of them suddenly taking action, so you don't need to worry too much... As for the nuclear radiation level within Tokyo Comprehensive University, it should have returned to normal by now, right?" Zhang Jingxu said, looking at Miguel.
Miguel was silent for a moment before speaking, "That's right, the nuclear radiation level in the Tokyo area has basically recovered to a normal level. Except for a few places where nuclear radiation dust may have accumulated for various reasons, the nuclear radiation level is still relatively high, but Tokyo Comprehensive University is not among them, so Teacher Ming doesn't need to worry about the nuclear radiation issue."
Although the distance between the Fukushima nuclear power plant and Tokyo is not too far, fortunately, only the No. 1 reactor at Fukushima nuclear power plant had a problem, so the nuclear radiation pollution caused has affected the entire Island Nation, and even half of the Earth. However, except for the Fukushima area, the nuclear radiation pollution in other areas came and went quickly. Currently, the Kyushu and Hokkaido regions, which are relatively far from Fukushima, have already ended the state of emergency ahead of schedule, and the people have begun to resume their normal lives.
After all, various aspects of the Island Nation have been suspended for nearly a week due to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, which has had a huge impact, especially on the economic level. So now that the situation has improved, the Island Nation authorities have arranged for the Kyushu and Hokkaido regions to lift the state of emergency first.
However, what the Island Nation officials did not expect was that just as they had lifted the state of emergency in the Kyushu and Hokkaido regions, multiple public protests and demonstrations erupted in these areas. Some were accusing the Island Nation officials of inaction during the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, allowing the disaster to occur. Others were demanding that the Island Nation government quickly investigate the Island Nation Power Company, as if it had not been for the company's refusal to accept the seawater drainage plan, the current severe nuclear contamination would not have happened. As for the last group of protesters, they were hoping the Island Nation government would shut down all remaining nuclear power plants in the country to prevent another Fukushima-like accident.
"I think these three types of protesters are likely organized by the Warrior Faction and the Public Faction respectively. The Warrior Faction wants to continue putting pressure on the Island Nation officials, while the Public Faction wants to strike back and shift the public's attention to the Island Nation Power Company, which is controlled by the Warrior Faction, so that the company can help the Island Nation officials divert some of the public hatred," Ling Ishikawa said seriously.
At this point, Zhang Jingxu shook his head thoughtfully and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Perhaps the protesters targeting the Island Nation Power Company were also arranged by the Warrior Faction, because after careful consideration and some online research these past few days, I found that most of the key executives of the Island Nation Power Company seem to have connections to the Public Faction families, while their ties to the Warrior Faction are quite limited."
"More importantly, I discovered that one-third of the Island Nation Power Company executives may be followers of a certain, or even multiple, secret cults. This is because these executives were previously involved in a rather strange lawsuit. It was originally a regular fire accident case, where a family of three was burned to death at home due to old wiring. However, some mysterious person sent information to the prosecutor's office, claiming the fire was not an accident but intentionally set to kill the family for the purpose of conducting some kind of ritual ceremony. All the evidence pointed to these executives, but the case was suddenly settled out of court and dropped."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, surprised to learn that the Island Nation Power Company executives had secret cult backgrounds.
While the Island Nation government has generally turned a blind eye to the secret cults within its borders, it is unlikely they would allow people with such backgrounds to hold high positions in the system. This makes the situation with these Island Nation Power Company executives quite delicate.
In simple terms, this is a chicken-and-egg problem. If these executives were cult followers from the start, it would suggest the Island Nation government has not truly controlled the secret cult situation within the country, and may even be cooperating with certain cults to some extent. However, if they were only later subverted by the cults, it would mean the cults are no longer satisfied with the status quo and want to expand their influence further in Island Nation.
Of course, the current situation could also mean that the Warrior Faction or Public Faction have allowed these executives to serve as "sacrificial pawns" to court the secret cults.
Liu Xing is currently more inclined to believe the third possibility.
"So Zhang Jingxu, are you suggesting that the Island Nation Power Company's initial refusal to use seawater drainage to decommission the Fukushima nuclear power plant units was likely due to interference from secret cults?" Zhang Wenbing asked with a furrowed brow.
Zhang Jingxu nodded and said seriously, "Given the current situation, we have reason to suspect the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident was influenced by secret cults. However, whether the Public Faction or Warrior Faction were backing these cults is unknown. That's why I said the organizers behind the second group of protesters are unclear. As for the last group calling for the shutdown of all other nuclear power plants, they seem to be acting on their own."
Liu Xing shrugged and couldn't help but comment, "Actually, I think this last group of protesters is the most troublesome for the Island Nation government, because they can easily gain the support of the general public. But if the government agrees to their demands, Island Nation may end up in a situation like its neighbor, relying on 'love power' to generate electricity."
The group shared a knowing laugh.
After some more casual conversation, Liu Xing and the others went their separate ways. However, Honekawa Suneo suddenly approached Liu Xing and told him that due to the recent deliberate propaganda, the followers of the Worshippers of the Yellow Sect had grown even more devoted to Liu Xing. Suneo wanted to take this opportunity to issue another "divine oracle" in Liu Xing's name, telling the Worshippers that they can now safely venture out of their homes, as the nuclear radiation levels in most parts of Island Nation have returned to normal.
Of course, the Fukushima area is excluded.
Regarding Miguel's prediction, Liu Xing still believes it very much, after all, Miguel is equipped with Migo's black technology, so Miguel's prediction on the nuclear radiation situation of the Island Nation is of great reference value, at least more credible than the relevant intelligence released by the Island Nation government.
Therefore, Liu Xing agreed with Honekawa Suneo's idea, but just to be on the safe side, Liu Xing still let Honekawa Suneo go talk to Miguel, so as not to have a mishap later.
After all, Rome was not built in a day, but to destroy Rome, one day is more than enough.
After sending Honekawa Suneo away, Liu Xing went back to his own room, because from tonight, the power restriction in the Tokyo area has ended, one reason is that the employees of the nearby power plants have returned to their posts, and the other reason is that these two days have been really tough.
So Liu Xing plans to go back to his room to sleep, because although his body is that of an Island Nation person, he has long been accustomed to sleeping on the floor, but from a spiritual level, Liu Xing still feels a bit uncomfortable when sleeping on the floor.
This psychological effect is like some people being picky about beds, even if the two beds are exactly the same in every way, he still can't sleep well on the new bed.
Just as Honekawa Suneo left, Liu Xing saw the door slowly close automatically.
Then, the Yellow King appeared in front of Liu Xing.
Although the sudden appearance of the Yellow King exceeded Liu Xing's expectations, Liu Xing quickly regained his composure and said respectfully, "My lord, what orders do you have for me this time?"
At this point, an even more surprising thing happened to Liu Xing. The Yellow King sighed and said, "Ah, regarding the matter of Su Ziche's sister, Ryuusei, it's better not to investigate further, because her father is indeed the Serpent God Yig, so if anything happens, I don't dare guarantee that I can save you from the Serpent God Yig."
Liu Xing frowned, not expecting that Su Ziche's sister was actually the child of the Great Old One - the Serpent God Yig.
The Yellow King, seeing Liu Xing's shocked expression, continued, "Of course, Su Ziche's sister is not the fruit of the Serpent God Yig's love with her mother, but a vessel prepared by the Serpent God Yig so that he can walk on the ground in the form of possession. Although there are nine such existences like Su Ziche's sister, the Serpent God Yig can only possess them for about a week at most, and then the possessed person will die, so the Serpent God Yig attaches great importance to these people."
