Global Collapse

Chapter 444 The Stunning Beauty of Little Red

"Ah," the fat man opened his mouth slightly, "That's right, our event is being held here in Liannujiang. It only said that players can't get in without tickets, but it didn't say that ghosts can't get in. Besides, Xiao Hong was considered an NPC before."

At this moment, Gu Mian had already imagined Xiao Hong panicking when she discovered that everyone had disappeared. She rushed out of the gate and ran over, then jumped into the river and swam desperately. When she got nearby, she was pulled up by the brother who had forcibly taken the girl.

Xiao Hong must have stunned the passersby with her horribly disfigured face.

At this moment, another female ghost's head appeared beside the boat.

Gu Mian stared at the head for several seconds, then suddenly realized that human and ghost aesthetics might be different.

Perhaps in the brother's eyes, Xiao Hong was an absolute beauty, otherwise why would he have caught her in the water?

Although Gu Mian was not impressed with the face in front of him, he still reached out and grabbed the slightly frightening-looking female ghost, pulling her toward the boat, just to give it a try.

What if the beauty criteria for this event align with my brother's aesthetic preferences?

The female ghost, captured by Gu Mian, struggled desperately like a fish out of water, determined to resist to the death.

Gu Mian reassured her, "I'll just bring you up here for a little while, I won't do anything else..."

Looking at the terrifying-looking female ghost, the fat man swallowed hard: "What else do you want to do?"

Fortunately, there were no other players around, otherwise they would have been terrified and run away at the sight of this.

As it turns out, the organizer's judgment was quite sound; after the female ghost was pulled onto the boat, nothing happened.

Just as her brother set off for the fourth time to find a beautiful woman, Xiao Hong also jumped into the water.

She was wearing a red dress and disappeared into the water like a red carp.

Gu Mian wasn't too worried about her safety; the water was full of ghosts, so they probably wouldn't fight each other.

The fat man looked in the direction Xiao Hong had left and asked, "Doctor, what did Xiao Hong do? Did she feel too stifled staying on the boat, so she jumped into the water for a swim?"

“I don’t know,” Gu Mian picked up the paddle. “Let’s row in the direction where there are more players. I don’t think we can rely on my brother’s judgment anymore.”

Gu Mian was certain that if her brother were someone who helped the emperor select concubines in ancient times, he would definitely be dead beyond any doubt.

Although there were less than three minutes left, what if they were lucky enough to stumble upon a beautiful woman? Of course, the possibility of that was extremely small.

“If we don’t get past this level, we’ll be one less teammate, but it won’t matter,” Gu Mian said while paddling. “We’re not rowing by manpower anyway.”

"That makes sense." The fat man nodded in agreement. With his brother's automatic propeller, they could probably win first place in this event even if they only sent one boat.

"The Doctor's Stunning Fan Account" has stopped its mad dog-like movement and is now slowly approaching the direction where players are concentrated.

Players who discovered this breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It seems that the ship has run out of special items. I wonder what those special items were. They were really awesome."

"I thought it would maintain this speed until the end of the event, which scared me to death. But judging from the current speed of the dragon boat, it should be able to fall behind us soon."

Players have already passed the second level and gathered three teammates on the dragon boat.

Three people rowing will always be faster, and the speed of some dragon boats on the river is visibly increasing.

During this time, Lili's brother found several more female ghosts, repeatedly proving that humans and ghosts may have different aesthetic tastes.

After a moment's thought, Gu Mian turned the tables and asked him to find an ugly woman. After seeing the ugly woman her brother found, Gu Mian realized she couldn't blame him for his poor taste; it was simply that all the female ghosts in the water were identically ugly!
Either the eyeballs will detach from their sockets or the skin on the face will split open. Even if a beautiful woman was alive, there's no way to save her after such an ordeal.

Gu Mian suddenly realized that all those stories about "beautiful female ghosts falling in love with me" in novels were lies.

"There's only one minute left!" the fat man said nervously, calculating the time. "Doctor, we're about to die."

Well, let it cool down then...

Gu Mian silently took out a pair of wide-rimmed black glasses and put them on, then put a black fleece scarf around her neck to cover the lower half of her face: "This place is not far from the other players, I'll disguise myself first."

To disguise himself, Gu Mian had already put on a long overcoat over his white lab coat, so that people who knew him would have to get very close to recognize him.

He adjusted his tattered glasses on his nose and looked at the fat man: "Am I ugly?"

The fat man chuckled foolishly, "It's actually quite good-looking..."

Then the older brother's head reappeared by the side of the boat, but this time he found nothing; probably all the female ghosts around had run away.

Gu Mian turned to look at the head by the side of the boat, only to see his brother staring at his face for a long time, seemingly not recognizing him.

Just when Gu Mian thought he was going to blurt out "Who the hell are you?", her brother reached out and grabbed the gunwale: "Little sister."

Just then, Gu Mian suddenly noticed a boat approaching at an incredible speed. He quickly reached out and pushed his head into the water, then looked up.

The ship, as if equipped with a propeller, parted the water and sped towards them, heading straight for them.

"What the hell!" The fat man looked ahead in surprise.

Gu Mian was able to see the ship clearly in just a few seconds.

Of course, the first thing he saw was Xiao Hong's head, and there was that unique face floating on the water at the bow of the dragon boat.

Little Red was leading the boat towards us like she was walking a dog.

Gu Mian stared intently at the ship—007!

The fat man stared wide-eyed at the dragon boat not far away: "007 is a beauty, right? She should count, right?"

Even though 007 on the ship was so frightened by the sudden situation that his face turned pale, no one has ever said that a beautiful woman with a pale face is not beautiful.

The fat man became excited: "Doctor, there are still fifteen seconds left, we can still make it!"

Gu Mian was ready.

Xiao Hong was indeed reliable; she pulled the boat to its side in just a few seconds. However, because she couldn't control her strength, the two dragon boats collided and almost capsized.

Gu Mian immediately reached out and snatched 007 from the dragon boat opposite: "You can borrow it."

Before 007 could react, he was dazed and disoriented as Gu Mian shoved him onto the ship. Immediately afterward, options popped up in front of Gu Mian—

[Successfully passed level two, please select teammates]

Below are three headshots.
