Global Collapse

Chapter 31 I am that medical kit
"If you keep saying that, Lu Xun will turn in his grave." Gu Mian turned her head away.

After climbing the stairs for quite a while, the three of them returned home after 9 p.m.

As soon as the fat man returned, he rushed into the kitchen. He had only eaten some snacks to stave off hunger at dinner, and now he had digested them all.

Gu Mian put the chainsaw on her back aside, sat on the sofa, and activated her personal attributes.

Immediately afterwards, a list of attributes appeared in front of him.

Nothing that shouldn't have changed has changed; it's still all question marks, with only a few attributes altered.

[Game Coins: 138]

Number of cleared dungeons: 2

It's not easy; two dungeons have already been lost.

As Gu Mian pondered this, she returned to the homepage and noticed that the large activity area in the middle had somehow become colorful.

Chu Changge, who was standing next to him, also noticed the change in the game panel. At this moment, he was pushing up his glasses and carefully looking at the activity area.

This appears to be an event preview.

The world's first large-scale event, the Lantern Festival, is coming to Earth soon.

[Event Location: Hengdian World Studios, China]

【活动举行时间：2019年2月19日晚19:00——24:00】

[Content: On the night of the Lantern Festival, Hengdian District will be decorated with 'blessings from ghosts and monsters']

The 'Ghost's Blessing' will appear in the form of a lantern, with a corresponding riddle from the ghost attached to it. Players who answer the riddle correctly can take the lantern and receive the blessing.

'Blessings' come in many forms, including rare and special items, game currency, and attributes, as well as the resentment of vengeful ghosts and lingering misfortune.

Please choose your light bulbs carefully to prevent unforeseen circumstances.

[Participation Requirements: Hengdian area will be closed during the event; entry is only permitted with a ticket obtained from the premium ticket hall]

Every game inevitably has large-scale events, and Gu Mian was well aware of this.

He had originally thought the game event would be conducted in the form of a dungeon, but he didn't expect that the event location was specified and only players who went to the event location could participate in the event.

"Is this an attempt to get all the players participating in the event from around the world to flock to Hengdian?" Gu Mian stroked her chin.

Now all modes of transportation are unusable, and the road conditions make it impossible to drive.

The plane may still be able to fly, but probably not many people would dare to ride it. What if the pilot suddenly enters a special instance while flying?
This activity might not be very good for foreign friends.

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "I guess this is to make the players collide. It seems like Earth doesn't like players staying in one place."

This is a roundabout way of trying to force players to go in one direction.

"Are you planning to participate in this event?" Chu Changge glanced at the calendar subconsciously.

Today is January 2nd, the second day since the game started, and there is still more than a month until the event begins.

They are not far from Hengdian, only about 1,000 kilometers away. It would only take more than ten hours to get there by highway, but the current situation means they can't take the highway.

“Of course,” Gu Mian said, turning off the panel, “but we need to be prepared first.”

For example, prepare the money and then buy a hearse.

The supermarket sells hearses; Gu Mian saw one tonight.

This is how the salesperson described it to him at the time—

"A hearse is, of course, different from an ordinary car. It doesn't need gasoline or any fuel; it just needs to step on the gas and it's up."

"Our hearse is incredibly powerful. You've seen the situation on the road right now—it's almost completely jammed, impossible to drive on." "But if you buy our hearse, it's a different story. Our hearse has drifting and leaping capabilities, allowing you to easily jump over obstacles. Only 998! Bring home a high-quality, affordable hearse."

"And it can also be put in the inventory, making it very easy to carry!"

“However, there’s one thing…” Gu Mian remembered the saleswoman being very frustrated when she said this: “You need a hearse driver’s license to drive a hearse, but I heard that the copy of the driver’s license test was probably destroyed by some bastard! As a result, there’s only one person in the world who has passed the test…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Mian turned and left, fearing that her identity would be recognized and she would be beaten up.

He could actually afford a hearse, but the event page hadn't been released yet, and Gu Mian felt that buying such a car was useless and would easily expose his identity, so he left directly.

It seems my identity will be exposed sooner or later.

“In the game, events are the easiest way to improve our strength, so we should try to participate in every event,” Gu Mian said, stroking her chin. “For our safety, and of course, for the quality of our food.”

At this moment, the fat man came out carrying a large bowl of fried chicken wings.

"I've used almost half a bottle of Coke, and there's still more than half left. Do you want some?" he said as he placed the steaming chicken wings on the table.

The chicken wings were bright in color and emitted an enticing aroma. Gu Mian stuck a piece into the wing with her chopsticks. The chicken wing was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When she pierced through the crispy outer layer, the milky white meat inside was revealed, and the aroma was irresistible.

As if worried there wouldn't be enough to eat, the fat man also cooked two more dishes and a small pot of rice.

After Gu Mian discovered that the world was abnormal, her meals actually improved a lot.

As the fat man poured cola into a glass, he sighed, "Given the current situation, there are probably very few people who can eat as well as we do."

Gu Mian chimed in, "So we need to try to eat even better."

The fat man then rubbed his hands together and said, "Doctor, I just saw that the event page seems to have been updated."

Sure enough, he saw the event page.

"Mmm." Gu Mian nodded while gnawing on a chicken wing.

"Doctor, are you and Brother Chu planning to go to Hengdian for an event?"

"Mmm." Gu Mian spat out the bone from her mouth.

After a long while, the fat man finally asked hesitantly, "Can I take you with me?"

Gu Mian was originally thinking about how to trick the only fat guy who could cook, but she didn't expect him to walk right into the trap.

"Aren't you planning to go home?" Gu Mian asked instinctively.

"Go home? I've never had a fixed place to live, and my parents have long since turned to ashes underground..."

At least your parents left some ashes. Gu Mian put down her chopsticks. My parents didn't even leave me any ashes.

"Alright," Gu Mian readily agreed, "but we probably won't be setting off in the next few days. We'll have to wait a while. I'll do a few more dungeons before we decide."

Anyway, there's still more than a month to go, no rush.

The three of them ate a hearty meal that evening. The fat man seemed particularly happy that day, and before going to bed, he asked Gu Mian, "Doctor, why did you become a doctor?"

The sight of Gu Mian carrying a chainsaw and holding the robber leader today deeply shocked Fatty. He felt that Gu Mian was not actually suited to be a doctor.

Gu Mian was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and then said, "It's probably because I picked up twenty-eight first aid kits and three medkits in one game. At that time, I felt that I had the talent to be a doctor."

Chu Changge raised her hand slightly: "I can testify that I am the medical kit."

The fat man fell asleep with his mind filled with "first aid kit" and "medical kit," and even dreamed that he had turned into a medical kit.

When he woke up the next day, he found that Gu Mian was gone.

Meanwhile, at a ticket booth not far from the apartment, the NPC finally welcomed its first customer who voluntarily entered.

Thank you to "After Drinking Haha", "Water Moon Without Sorrow", and "I Joined the Group to Urge Updates" for their donations. (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
