Global Collapse

Chapter 201: Extra Long Version - List of Servers Shut Down

At this moment, Gu Mian had already stepped out the door.

However, he did not see anyone who had entered the portal before him.

"Strange..." Gu Mian muttered to himself as he looked back, but there was nothing behind him.

The people in front disappeared, and no one followed behind...

In an instant, Gu Mian understood something: "Could the person who entered this door have traveled to another place by themselves?"

Before he could think for long, a tremendous crashing sound came from afar.

Gu Mian then began to look around at her surroundings.

The secluded alleys, modern buildings, and flickering streetlights clearly indicate that this is not Hengdian World Studios.

He was teleported out.

“The definition of ‘nearby’ is indeed not very clear…” Gu Mian thought to herself as she looked in the direction from which the sound came.

But before he could figure it out, the game panel suddenly updated.

He noticed that there had been changes to the notice board.

"There are two more announcements now."

[Notification of Early End of Event]

[List of Servers Temporarily Suspended from Operation]

Looking at the title of the first announcement, Gu Mian thought her heart was about to collapse; it was definitely going to end prematurely.

One look at the second announcement and you knew it couldn't be anything good. The name of the announcement was also quite bizarre. But Gu Mian still obediently started reading the first announcement.

[Notification of Early End of Event]

[Dear players, due to special circumstances, the 'Lantern Festival' event has ended ahead of schedule. Players in the event area have been forcibly removed from the area, and the area will be temporarily closed and cleared.]
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused, and the affected players will receive compensation.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, some instances will be temporarily unavailable. Players will be unable to enter these temporarily unavailable instances during this period. The details of any unavailable instances will be announced via public notice.

[From 'a game planner admired by players']

What the hell?

Gu Mian stared at the last line of text, lost in thought. Was this game planned?

Without pondering it for long, he moved on to the next announcement.

[List of Servers Temporarily Suspended from Operation]

Wow, this name sounds intimidating, and it's a temporary version. Does that mean there will be an extended version of the list later?

He then looked down.

The following is a list of temporarily suspended instances:
Crazy Game City

Eternal Night Town

The dilapidated art museum
It's getting dark, please close your eyes (beginner version)
...]

There was no copy named "Ellipsis," but the list was so long that it would seem like padding in a novel, so Gu Mian only glanced at it briefly.

There are roughly forty or fifty instances that have been shut down this time.

Gu Mian looked in the direction of Hengdian: "I didn't expect that the collapse of one event would cause dozens of dungeons to shut down as well... Is it because the ghosts in the event can't return to the dungeons that the event was shut down?"

“So, it seems Mr. Green’s plan to escape to the real world has fallen through,” he stroked his chin.

At this moment, his friend messages kept popping up.

Gu Mian glanced at the messages and found that the fat guy and the others had sent him more than a dozen messages.

"Doctor, I'm out!"

"Doctor, let's disperse."

"Doctor, where are you?"

"Doctor, it's so dark here, I'm a little scared."

"..." The fat guy handled almost all of the dozen or so messages by himself.

Gu Mian scrolled to the bottom of the message screen before she saw two messages from someone else.

One message came from Hanshan: "Don't forget our promise."

The other message was from Chu Changge: "Meet at the hotel."

Gu Mian glanced at Chu Changge's message, then at Fatty's, sighed, and began replying to Fatty: "Where are you?"

……

When the three of them finally met again, it was already past 1 a.m.

It has to be said that Fatty's luck is sometimes even worse than Gu Mian's. He actually traveled directly to an abandoned, dilapidated warehouse, which was locked from the outside. Gu Mian had to go to great lengths to rescue him from inside.

The hotel owner seemed somewhat shocked that the three of them had returned alive, but none of that mattered anymore.

"I came out a step too early," the fat man said regretfully as he sat on the sofa looking at the announcement. "I didn't receive any compensation."

Gu Mian glanced at him: "Don't look so gloomy here. There must be someone who is feeling worse than you right now."

That's Mr. Green.

Now, this poor little guy might be wandering around somewhere with his support ghost.

"Let's put that aside for now," Chu Changge said, pushing up his glasses. "Let's organize what we've gained from this dangerous activity."

There's not much to organize, just three things.

[Mind-controlled loudspeaker]

Penguin Brand Cough Syrup (Single Use)

A head of beautiful hair (disposable)

If Fatty's machete counts too...

At this moment, the fat man had already taken the [Bent-on Machete] out of his inventory: "This should count too."

Ok.

You got four special items from one event, which sounds like a lot.

However, this excluded the practically useless [bent-blade machetes].

Furthermore, we have ruled out the possibility of obtaining a "one-time use" head of hair through special means.

There are only two items left.

One of the items was even placed around the female ghost's neck and is now out in the wild.

So, right now, the only thing they can normally obtain and that is useful in this instance is [Penguin Brand Cough Syrup].

The fat man couldn't help but start to question his existence: "Is this what we get from an event where we could actually die?"

Isn't that a huge loss?

Gu Mian replied matter-of-factly, "It's worth it. Even though you would actually die, you didn't die, did you?"

The fat man choked for a moment: "I'm risking my life..."

At this moment, Chu Changge's voice suddenly came from the side: "No, we may have obtained something else in this event."

"What?" The fat man looked at him in confusion.

Chu Changge pointed to the window of the bedroom next door: "A female ghost."

The fat man was shocked and immediately turned around to look.

A terrifying female ghost had somehow climbed up and was now pressed against the outside of the window, motionless.

Although she didn't move, Gu Mian still heard a faint sound coming from outside the window.

"Nobody saw me climbing the stairs, nobody saw me climbing the stairs, nobody saw me climbing the stairs, right?" — From [Mind Speaker]
