Global Collapse

Chapter 26 Tomorrow is Monday

He was still in a daze when the instructor got out of the car.

All three test vehicles were destroyed.

The written test center was severely damaged.

The person who started this was even shamelessly asking him for his driver's license.

Gu Mian looked at him and said, "Coach, I've completed three laps. Does that mean I've passed my driving test?"

It was clear the instructor wanted to yell at him, but he held back: "No, there was an accident in the middle, so you can't pass. The test vehicle is now completely destroyed, and the rest of you can't take the test anymore. I'll end this session early. None of you have passed today's test."

The fat man hesitated before speaking, "But when the accident happened, the doctor seemed to have already circled the patient three times..."

The coach ignored the fat man, seemingly determined not to give Gu Mian a passing grade.

At this moment, Gu Mian patted the fat man's shoulder calmly: "It's okay, have you forgotten that I still have a dungeon exchange voucher? I'll bring you guys back in a few days, and we'll definitely pass the test next time."

The coach, who was about to turn and leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

Again? He never wants to see this player a second time in his life!

His expression twisted, and he looked at Gu Mian with a strange gaze. After a long while, he struggled to speak: "Fine, you've passed. Come with me to get your certificate."

In the end, Gu Mian obtained the hearse driver's license with a clear conscience.

It's no different from a regular driver's license, except the name and stamp are different.

As night fell and the group was about to leave the instance, Gu Mian glanced back at the coach.

His expression was very complicated; it was clearly sad, yet there was also joy and a hint of relief mixed in, making it hard to understand.

When I returned to the real world, it was already quite late.

Because the hearse test is a special instance, they were matched directly on the street, so it was natural for them to return to the street.

The three bags of food that the three of them pulled out of the delivery truck were still there, so it's estimated that their belongings were protected when they entered the instance and nothing was missing.

There were some other things nearby.

Gu Mian had just come out of the dungeon and hadn't even had time to process what was happening when she heard the fat man's loud howl next to her.

"Oh my god!"

What's going on? He looked at the person next to him.

At that moment, the fat man was rushing towards him in a panic, and some distance behind him lay a corpse—a real corpse.

Large pools of blood were on the ground, mostly flowing from the necks of the corpses.

What's going on? Gu Mian was a bit confused. How come there was a corpse here after she entered the dungeon and came out?

Dying in a dungeon is not a real death, but it's different in the real world; dying in the real world is a real death.

Chu Changge looked at the corpse and pushed up his glasses: "It's very likely that a violent incident occurred here during our game. Haven't you noticed that there isn't a single pedestrian in sight now?"

Gu Mian looked around and confirmed that it was indeed the case.

Before entering the instance, you could see a few panicked pedestrians in this area, but now there's not a soul in sight.

“The impact of this violent incident must be quite significant, to the point that no one dares to walk this way now,” Chu Changge said, looking at the corpse. “Let’s go back to our lodgings first.”

This was indeed not the place to talk, so the three of them turned back.

Fortunately, no robbers or anything like that appeared on the way, and they made it back to their lodgings without incident.

It's worth mentioning that on his way back, Gu Mian saw a huge, unfamiliar building, but it was quite far away, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

As soon as he entered the door, the fat man collapsed onto the sofa as if he were paralyzed, unable to muster any energy at all.

"Those dungeons were absolutely terrifying! If it weren't for Dr. Gu today, my neck would probably be broken..." Gu Mian sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water; he was a little thirsty.

The fat man was still rambling on, telling Chu Changge about what he had seen and heard.

"Brother Chu, you have no idea how dangerous it was in the dungeon. After we got separated, I went up to the second floor and encountered a ghost!"

"I was so scared that I turned and ran away. When I heard the noise fading away, I hid in a house."

"I heard the ghost walk past my door and then walk away. I just breathed a sigh of relief when it suddenly appeared behind me. Oh, that face..."

As the fat man spoke, he slightly closed his eyes, seemingly unwilling to recall the horrific scene.

"But at that moment, Dr. Gu suddenly appeared out of nowhere..."

Hearing this, Gu Mian felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly and opened the panel, but his attention was immediately drawn to the bulletin board.

Two announcements were updated?
Gu Mian looked at the latest post with some confusion, and saw—

[The hearse driver testing center (copy) is temporarily closed.]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the dungeon's testing equipment has been severely damaged and cannot function properly. The dungeon is currently under maintenance, and the reopening date is unknown.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to our players. Affected players will be compensated with 1000 game coins.

As expected, this instance was eventually shut down...

Gu Mian carefully counted the zeros after the 1. Yes, it was one thousand points.

Last time it was only 100, why is the compensation suddenly so generous?

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Gu Mian's heart. He then looked down and understood why the compensation this time was so generous.

The following is the list of those receiving compensation.

The game nicknames and game IDs of the four people below are clearly visible.

The first one to be affected is myself, number 1.

No wonder the compensation changed from one hundred to one thousand; adding this list is tantamount to exposing information.

It's not surprising that he was among the players after a dungeon crashed.

It's quite a coincidence that he was among the players when the dungeon collapsed twice.

If he was among the players after the dungeon collapsed three times, then it's no coincidence.

By then, the whole world will probably know that Gu Mian is no pushover.

"Is this a threat?" Gu Mian pondered silently.

If the list of players is released directly, and a player appears multiple times, it will inevitably attract public attention and lead to targeting.

A normal person would definitely keep a low profile and behave cautiously at this time, trying their best to keep their name out of the public eye.

But Gu Mian is not a normal person.

"If you want to put my name on it, then go ahead. People will get used to it after a while," he said knowingly.

Without dwelling on this announcement for too long, Gu Mian immediately looked at the next one.

[Global players have earned one million game points; the in-game store system is now officially open.]

Numerous large supermarkets have been newly built around the world, where players can use in-game currency to make transactions.

[Note: Only those holding supermarket tickets issued by the ticket booth are allowed entry. Supermarket tickets are limited each month, so please take note.]

I am a proper cuckoo...
