Global Collapse

Chapter 128 Deep in Thought

"Isn't that right?" Gu Mian retorted.

The fat man tightened his grip on the red envelope: "Alright, whatever you say... But doctor, did you see the truth?"

Although they had already left the instance, Fatty was still very curious, for example, about how Zhao Guanhai died.

Gu Mian paused for a moment: "I saw it, I saw the past. Not long after Zhao Guanhai died, Zhao Lei found the letter and bank card that Zhao Guanhai had left under the bed. Then he hugged these two things and cried like an idiot."

The fat man pressed on, "Then is there a connection between Zhao Lei's death and Zhao Guanhai's death?"

"Yes," Gu Mian paused, seemingly unwilling to elaborate, "but what does that have to do with us? We haven't even completed the dungeon quest yet."

The fat man's breath hitched.

indeed.

Although the three of them escaped the mirror world, they were unable to truly leave the terrifying manor. The door was tightly shut, and they couldn't escape. Gu Mian even had the ceiling slam down on her.

Therefore, this instance was considered a failure, and there were no quest rewards.

However, there is one advantage to following Gu Mian: even if you fail a dungeon mission, you will still receive compensation.

The compensation has been sent to your inbox: 1000 game coins and one chance to spin the lucky draw wheel.

The original reward for the Horror Manor event was 200 game coins and one chance to spin the lucky draw wheel.

If you calculate it that way, it seems like they actually made a profit?
Only Gu Mian stared at the reward with a gloomy expression: "The reward is usually only a thousand game coins, but this time a lottery wheel appeared out of nowhere, and it's full of surprises. I can tell at a glance that it's definitely not something good."

This is definitely another new tactic that life has come up with to assassinate him.

The fat man was quite straightforward; he naturally started spinning the prize wheel full of surprises: "A prize draw? Doctor, have you ever seen a lottery ticket where you get a discount?"

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Gu Mian turned her head to look, and saw that the surprise wheel was indeed full of surprises—

A large pot

[Synopsis: A large pot made by a cunning and treacherous old man who has made countless enemies;]
"As long as I go out with this pot on my head, my enemies won't be able to see me!"

Of course, this is not some kind of invisibility tactic. After being on the pot for so long, the enemies have become very familiar with it.

Whenever they saw this pot, they knew that the cunning old man was out on the street again.

[Function: Attracts hatred when worn]

[Note: This item is only an auxiliary tool; its actual effect depends on the user's actions.]

The fat man stared in disbelief at the huge pot.

What the hell is this? It's even worse than getting a penalty for buying a lottery ticket.

This pot is huge, probably a meter in diameter, and it has backpack-like straps on both sides, so it seems to be meant to be carried on someone's back.

The fat man swallowed hard, holding up the pot and looking at Gu Mian beside him: "Doctor... I think this pot might suit you..."

"No, no, no," Gu Mian quickly waved her hand, "It suits you better. From now on, you'll be the one who draws aggro in the team."

Fatty: "..."

At this moment, Chu Changge also held a lottery.

Gu Mian turned to look at him and saw that he had also pulled out something unusual.

[A failed test kit]

[Summary: Failed reagents produced in the Toy Goose Company's laboratory]

[Function: Speed ​​attribute doubles for ten minutes after ingestion or injection of this vial of reagent]

"Toy Goose Company?" Gu Mian frowned slightly. "Isn't Toy Goose Company appearing a little too often?"

The phone he got in the Horror Manor instance was also produced by Toy Goose.

Does this mean there are some connections between the different copies? "Speaking of which, this reagent should be quite useful," the fat man said, looking at the reagent about the thickness of his little finger in Chu Changge's hand. "But it will only be most effective if used by someone with high speed. But what would happen if a doctor drank this stuff?"

Gu Mian glanced at him: "0x2=0"

The fat man choked for a moment: "What a concise and easy-to-understand explanation."

Gu Mian couldn't refuse to spin this malicious lottery wheel, otherwise she would definitely give up.

He looked at his screen and, before drawing the prize, specifically reminded the two people next to him, "You two had better stay away from me."

No one knows if Gu Mian will draw a "heavenly tribulation".

Then a bolt of lightning struck and killed him, along with Chu Changge and the fat man who were standing next to him.

The fat man looked somewhat confused: "It can't be that bad, can it?"

Gu Mian looked up and sadly uttered a refined, literary sentence: "I have never assumed life with the greatest malice."

The fat man scratched his head: "This sounds strangely familiar... Did Lu Xun say that?"

At this moment, Gu Mian had already started the lottery draw.

He had never had much hope for his luck, but he never expected it to be this bad.

[Crazy Pursuit Order]

[Description: A pursuit order issued by a certain organization]

[Function: The player who draws this item will be hunted by a powerful assassin. The pursuit order will expire if either the player being hunted dies or the assassin dies. The assassin possesses a large number of special items, which will be transferred to the player upon their death.]

[Hint: The moment this item is drawn, the assassin descends upon the world and can be hunted down in the game instance.]

Gu Mian: "..."

Could this be considered a reward?

Killing the assassin would grant him all the special items on him, so by that logic, he'd gotten a lot of things in one go, what a bargain... bullshit!
"Holy crap!" The fat man's reaction was perfectly genuine: "An assassin has descended upon the world? Could it be that it has descended right next to us?"

Gu Mian glanced around; there was no one around.

"Perhaps the assassin's location is too far from us; he'd have to travel a long way to come and kill me. If only he could descend upon Antarctica."

"The Arctic is fine too, but I don't know if polar bears eat people..."

"Whatever, life has been coveting my life for so many years, I don't care anymore," Gu Mian said indifferently.

The fat man suddenly spoke up: "Doctor, this won't do. You know, accidents always happen when people are least prepared... You have to be on edge every day, constantly worried about your life, so that you might live a little longer."

Gu Mian was used to the fact that the fat man never said anything good.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the group hasn't finished their dinner yet.

The fat man was planning to cook a big meal, but was interrupted by a robber who suddenly appeared.

The food was left outside after entering the instance and has now been lost, so they have to go back into the supermarket to buy something.

Fortunately, a dungeon instance crashed just now, so Gu Mian has money now.

The game company's supermarket was right next door, and the group entered the brightly lit supermarket.

The cashier is right inside the door, and the entrance is next to the cashier.

This supermarket was no different from the ones they had been to before, but there was one thing that bothered Gu Mian.

Next to the cashier was a large table that reached waist height, with something on it, clearly priced, which looked like merchandise.

Seeing that they seemed interested in the items on the table, the cashier picked up a sign from the table: "This is a hot-selling product in our supermarket recently. It seems that many ticket sellers like this."

Gu Mian stared at the sign that read "Gu Mian and dogs are not allowed," lost in thought.
