Chapter 250.3
Liu Xing and the other two people looked at each other in surprise, never expecting to receive points rewards, and this time the rewards were quite substantial.
However, KP Fangs continued, "Alright, after you receive the points rewards, you won’t be able to share this with anyone. You understand what I mean, right? The Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall will restrict your actions, whether it’s through language, writing, or other forms of communication."
Now Liu Xing finally understood that this wasn’t a reward at all, but rather a hush money payment!
However, Liu Xing also understood why the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall would do this, as this discovery was essentially a bug.
Although many character cards had similar basic attributes, some things weren’t reflected on the cards. For example, Liu Xing’s two character cards, "Liu Xing" and "WatanabeRyuusei", had different personal abilities. "WatanabeRyuusei" had followers that changed everything, making their overall strength far surpass "Liu Xing"’s.
To illustrate, a rich and lazy person might have a character card with inferior attributes compared to a self-taught and athletic ordinary person. However, the rich person’s card didn’t show it, but in the game, they could seek help from their family, which would give them an advantage over the ordinary person.

So, Yin En’s discovery, although not 100% guaranteed, would be a game-changer if successful even once.
For example, in this module, Yin En successfully created a mayor’s character card, even an Island Nation president’s card. This made the module much simpler, as they could just find a reason to close Morimoto Academy and investigate its high-ranking officials. Those officials would definitely be corrupt, and could be thrown into prison for 10 to 15 years. This would allow them to clear the module easily, since the ritual ceremony leader would be caught.
Alternatively, they could create a character card for the world’s richest person, find a reason to forcibly acquire Morimoto Academy, and expel its high-ranking officials. This would also help clear the game.
In short, if Yin En’s guess became public, Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall players would try to create special character cards, and if someone created a president, billionaire, or military leader card, the parallel world would become chaotic.
"Ah, I see. I said this guess wasn’t too difficult to figure out, but why didn’t anyone point it out? It turns out that those who discovered this were directly silenced." Yin En sighed.
KP Fangs chuckled and said, "That’s true, but currently, only 172 players in the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall know about this, and only 37 players have successfully achieved it. Moreover, these special character cards aren’t as good as you think, with many limitations. For example, a player created a United States of America president character card, but it only lasted two modules before being killed by a Yis People; another player created a black market leader card in the 1920s setting, but was caught and imprisoned in the first module for violating the Prohibition law."
"So, out of the 37 players who successfully created special character cards, only 13 cards still exist, and most of them have only been used once. The most used card has only been used around three times. You should understand what I mean."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, nodded, and said, "KP, your point is that these special character cards created through special means will be targeted by the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, increasing the module’s difficulty and the probability of unexpected events? By the way, my character card shouldn’t be included in this, right?"
The key point was in the last sentence.
KP Fangs, of course, understood Liu Xing’s meaning, and smiled, saying, "Oh, that’s correct. These special character cards will indeed be affected in the game modules, as their strength far surpasses ordinary character cards. However, Liu Xing, your character card isn’t included, as it was created through regular means and has average overall strength, only slightly stronger than ordinary cards."
Hearing this, Liu Xing felt relieved, not wanting his character card to suddenly become unusable after a few modules.
Under the Byakhee’s coercion, Watanabe Seiichi eventually agreed to establish the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect and hold a Ritual Ceremony for the wounded Byakhee, which meant sending unsuspecting believers to be eaten by the Byakhee.
Seeing this, Liu Xing could confirm that the Byakhee the Watanabe father and son encountered was the same one mentioned in the Deep Sea Gospel Society, which had fought with their god, Deep One, Cthulhu - Aaron.
For most mythical creatures, eating is the best way to recover from physical injuries.
Aaron, when sending off the Watanabe father and son, also gave Watanabe Seiichi some useful items and medicine. With these items and medicine, Watanabe Seiichi, back in human society, quickly became a cult leader, expanding the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect to over a thousand people.
Of course, Watanabe Seiichi didn’t forget to send "food" to Aaron, but he wasn’t willing to be controlled by Aaron, so he found an opportunity to learn from Aaron how to worship King Hastur in Yellow Robes. Then, he immediately prepared to worship King Hastur in Yellow Robes, so he could break free from Aaron’s control.
Next, Watanabe Seiichi surprisingly successfully held the Ritual Ceremony, summoning King Hastur in Yellow Robes. However, King Hastur in Yellow Robes asked Watanabe Seiichi to fully assist Aaron, helping Aaron recover quickly and launch a war against the "heretics in the deep sea".
Fortunately, King Hastur in Yellow Robes blessed Watanabe Ryuusei and recognized him as his only representative on Earth. In the future, after the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect ruled the Earth, Watanabe Ryuusei would be the king of the Earth.
After the Ritual Ceremony, Watanabe Seiichi’s mentality naturally became inflated, as King Hastur in Yellow Robes was undoubtedly a god in his eyes. Under Watanabe Seiichi’s leadership, the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect became more active, quickly developing into a secret cult with over ten thousand members.
However, as the saying goes, "a tall tree attracts the wind", the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect soon caught the attention of the Island Nation police. Watanabe Seiichi, still fearless, continued to act high-profile, and was eventually caught by the police.
Watanabe Ryuusei, who had already sensed something was wrong, chose to travel with his classmates during Watanabe Seiichi’s last Ritual Ceremony, thus avoiding being caught. However, after Watanabe Seiichi was arrested, Watanabe Ryuusei discovered he was being monitored by the police, so he decided to transfer to Kyoto, as the local police in Island Nation generally couldn’t monitor across regions. Watanabe Ryuusei thus escaped police surveillance.
After arriving in Kyoto, Watanabe Ryuusei heard about the legend of Morimoto Academy, and as a devout cultist, he naturally saw through the fact that the high-level personnel of Morimoto Academy were also cultists, and they worshipped Deep One. Watanabe Ryuusei investigated that these cultists from Morimoto Academy often visited a Shrine, which worshipped Deep One!
So, Watanabe Ryuusei infiltrated Morimoto Academy.
After reading this memory, Liu Xing discovered many noteworthy things. First, there was the Shrine established by the Deep Sea Gospel Society in the Kyoto area, which should be the true lair of the fanatical believers from Morimoto Academy. Liu Xing felt it necessary to go and investigate.
In addition, there were some items and medicine that Aaron had given to Watanabe Seiichi at Watanabe Ryuusei’s old home, which Liu Xing thought were still worth taking. However, the problem was that if "Watanabe Ryuusei" returned home, the local police would likely continue to monitor, which could lead to accidents.
Finally, Liu Xing noted that after Watanabe Seiichi was arrested, the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect was forced to disband. A fanatical believer named Ono Eiji had come to find Watanabe Ryuusei, hoping he would re-establish the Worshipers of the Yellow Sect, but was rejected by Watanabe Ryuusei with the excuse of "temporary inconvenience". So, Ono Eiji took the initiative to gather a group of believers, around two thousand people, and continued to operate in the Shikoku region of Island Nation under the name of "Worshipers of the Yellow Sect’s deputy leader".
Liu Xing stroked his chin, thinking about whether to contact this Ono Eiji and recruit these two thousand believers.
Liu Xing thought for a while and finally gave up on the idea, because he didn’t think KP Fangs would give him this opportunity to suddenly gain two thousand believers
