Global Collapse

Chapter 202 Game Dungeon Reviewer

It took Gu Mian a lot of effort to get the female ghost outside in.

At this moment, the female ghost was standing straight in the middle of the living room, while the fat man stared at the large hole that had been torn in the screen window, lost in thought.

"The boss won't make us lose money, will he?" he thought.

At this moment, Gu Mian's attention had already been completely drawn to the female ghost.

She must have come to deliver a letter.

Because the group noticed that besides the [psychic speaker] that Gu Mian had hung around the female ghost's neck, there was also a letter.

The envelope looked very crude, but Gu Mian recognized it as Mr. Green's property at a glance.

Because there was a green mark on the seal of this letter.

"This unlucky guy really didn't manage to get back into the instance as he wanted..." Gu Mian muttered to himself as he reached out and took the envelope hanging around the female ghost's neck.

The fat man also curiously peeked over.

This is a letter Mr. Green wrote to Gu Mian. The content is very simple, consisting of only eight characters—

Don't come to the next event.

Gu Mian: "..."

"There were no sorrowful accusations, no heart-wrenching insults, but the letter seemed to be filled with the words 'cannibalism'..." The fat man began his mysterious explanation.

Gu Mian ignored him and instead looked at the female ghost standing in front of her.

She remained motionless, seemingly not planning to leave.

This situation continued until the next morning. When Gu Mian opened her eyes in bed, she saw the female ghost still standing in the living room.

It seems like it hasn't moved all night.

The fat man was sitting in the living room staring at her, but since the female ghost's face was completely covered by her hair, it was impossible to tell whose eyes were bigger.

The fat man's pot was thrown out last night, and he left the event before he could retrieve it, so now he can only use a [bent-blade machete] to make up the numbers.

"Alright," Chu Changge said, ignoring the female ghost in the living room, "Let's discuss yesterday's event. I've made some discoveries."

The fat man trembled slightly and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for us to discuss this in front of this female ghost?"

“If I’m not mistaken,” Chu Changge pushed up his glasses, “we will likely spend most of our time in front of her in the days to come.”

"Can we throw her out?" the fat man asked.

Gu Mian shook her head: "She can climb up by herself."

The fat man was silent for a moment, then quietly said, "I guess Mr. Green wanted to come and keep an eye on us himself, but this busy man doesn't seem to have any free time."

He mysteriously disappeared several times during the event, as if he was doing something else the whole time.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore," Chu Changge interrupted their conversation. "Let's talk about what we discovered during this event."

Without giving Gu Mian and the other person a chance to interrupt, he continued, "You should have all seen the game announcement. A mysterious game planner appeared in this announcement."

The fat man added, "It's 'a game planner revered by players'."

Gu Mian stroked her chin: "Anyway, whatever the adjective, he's a game planner. Speaking of which, I remember some game official Weibo accounts have comments mostly related to the planner's mother." Although, of course, not every global game planner has a mother…

Chu Changge continued, "Since this game has a planner, there might also be something else involved. Yes, I'm referring to the organizer."

"As I mentioned during the event, this game may not have just one organizer. Different organizers have different objectives, which leads to differences in the game's dungeons and events. One side tends to let players complete tasks and then evolve, and this side probably controls the dungeon resources."

"The other side prefers to kill players to evolve the monsters in the dungeon; this side controls the event's resources."

"I've only identified these two different purposes so far. Of course, there may be more organizers for this game, but I haven't noticed them yet."

Chu Changge paused for a moment: "But overall, these organizers should also have a common goal."

The fat man nodded seriously: "I know, kill the doctor."

Gu Mian: "..."

The fact that they would go so far as to crush Gu Mian to death at the Lantern Festival shows just how deep their hatred for her is.

"And if future events are all like this one... then I'm afraid the difficulty of the dungeons will only increase." Chu Changge glanced at the female ghost beside him: "The purpose of the event is to sacrifice players in order to strengthen the ghosts in the dungeons..."

The fat man suddenly interjected, "But it seems this enhancement mission failed."

This even led to the shutdown of dozens of instances.

"It can't be called a failure, it's just that the event collapsed at the end. In fact, quite a few players died inside before the event collapsed, and they all became nourishment for those ghosts; moreover, the event must have made preparations before it collapsed on its own, it definitely had already transported the vast majority of ghosts back to the dungeon, and the rest were those that hadn't had time to be transported back."

Chu Changge said, "So although dozens of dungeons collapsed this time, the difficulty of some dungeons has also increased."

Gu Mian remembered that not long ago, the difficulty level of the dungeon stopped being displayed, which turned out to be preparation for secretly changing the difficulty.

"I suspect the game will be re-released with a new difficulty level soon," Chu Changge said, tapping the table as he spoke.

Shortly after he finished speaking, the three of them noticed that the bulletin board had been updated again.

It's not easy; they issued several announcements within ten hours.

Gu Mian looked at the announcement board on the game panel.

[Dungeon Difficulty Change Notice]

[The difficulty of some dungeons has been adjusted. From now on, all dungeons will no longer have difficulty levels; the difficulty will change randomly. Please be flexible in your approach.]

Looking further down, there was another one.

[Dungeon Reward Adjustment Notice]

Due to adjustments in dungeon difficulty, dungeon rewards will no longer be distributed at fixed rates. A new 'Dungeon Evaluator' NPC has been added to the game system. The Dungeon Evaluator will assess players' performance in dungeons, and rewards will be distributed at the discretion of the evaluator after the dungeon is completed.

[Note: Players will still lose some of their acquired items if they die in a dungeon.]

The fat man looked at the announcement and said, "I'm increasingly convinced that this crappy game was released before it was even fully developed. They even came up with something like 'dungeon reviewers' halfway through. Seriously, did this game really not have any closed beta testing before it came out?"

"Maybe not, but judging from this, it's also possible that we are beta testers." Gu Mian stroked her chin.

The fat man chuckled: "What a joke! Game beta tests usually only give out a small number of slots to a limited number of players. But now, everyone on Earth is a player. People from all over the world are here. How could this be a beta test?"

At this point, the fat man suddenly stopped talking, then, as if realizing something, revealed a somewhat terrifying expression: "I mean... we're not actually beta testers, are we?"
