Global Collapse

Chapter 450 We Are All Beauties of Chu

The fat man stared speechlessly at the location of Qi Tian's sunken ship: "That death was a bit too hasty..."

Gu Mian said with a sad expression, "This isn't a TV drama. It turns out that anyone can die casually, like Qi Tian, ​​and of course, I could too."

The fat man pursed his lips: "Doctor, you're really good at cursing yourself... Stop pretending to be so sad, okay? Do you see any other players doing the same thing as you?"

Qi Tian's capsized boat also attracted the attention of other players around him, but no one's eyes were on Qi Tian's boat for long, so they only saw the person struggling in the water shouting "Gu" and then nothing more.

Of course, no one would doubt Gu Mian, who was standing in the distance with tears in her eyes, looking at Qi Tian with a compassionate expression.

Having witnessed so many deaths during the event, the players didn't sympathize much with the capsized ship; their attention was mostly on Gu Mian's ship.

Because this boat is so special, it can move forward on its own without a boatman, making it a unique sight rising slowly on the river.

At this moment, the river was getting narrower and narrower. Chu Changge suddenly spoke up: "The Liannu River shouldn't be this narrow. The event must have changed the terrain here. The final game will most likely require a lot of players to gather together."

The fat man stared at the narrowing riverbanks ahead: "Yeah, if this keeps up, we'll definitely run into other players. Then we'll be able to see each other's game nicknames. Even though the doctor's nickname is hidden, everyone will still think my nickname and Brother Chu's nickname look familiar..."

At this moment, Gu Mian wiped away the fake tears from the corners of her eyes, took off the [bloodstained school badge] and returned it to Chu Changge: "My nickname is Green Doctor, and Chu Changge's nickname can also be covered by this special item. Now we just need to solve your nickname problem, Fatty."

The fat man felt a chill run down his neck: "How do we solve this?"

When Gu Mian sat on the fat man, he was inwardly reluctant.

Gu Mian actually wanted the fat man to lie down and cover himself up, trying to prevent other players from seeing him lying in the boat; however, the fat man was too big, and even if he tightened his belly, other players could still see a bulge on their boat from a great distance.

In the end, the fat guy put on the school badge and changed his nickname to Chu Meiren, while Chu Changge lay down in the boat.

Chu Changge was much smaller than the fat man, and Gu Mian even used his guitar to cover Chu Changge, so it was hard to see that there was someone hiding on their boat unless you looked closely.

However, while Gu Mian was doing all this, there were still many players in the distance. These people saw Chu Changge lying down in the boat, but they didn't know what he was doing.

The fat man looked around and said, "Apart from Qi Tian from earlier, there's no one around who knows us. As long as Brother Chu doesn't reveal his nickname, there won't be any problems."

“There’s no one you know,” Gu Mian’s voice came softly from the side, “but there are people I know.”

The fat man's mind went blank for a moment, and he stiffly turned his neck: "Doctor, is there someone you know? A former colleague? A classmate? Oh right, I remember you went into the dungeon alone a few times before."

The fat man was right; Gu Mian had been matched with dungeons by herself a few times.

At this moment, Gu Mian saw a person who was someone only he had seen before, someone that neither the fat man nor Chu Changge had seen before.

Actually, Gu Mian only recognized the face; he didn't know the person's name because he met this person in a dungeon that didn't provide player nicknames. It was the dating show hosted by Teacher Sweet; Gu Mian remembered that the dungeon was called Sweet Lovers.

At this moment, Gu Mian encountered one of the female players. Gu Mian remembered that as soon as this female player entered the dungeon, she killed another player without anyone knowing and then took the blame. He also met the fortune teller in that dungeon. After the fortune teller discovered her identity, this female player even tried to kill him to silence him, but at that time, Gu Mian suddenly crawled out from under the bed and scared her away.

At this moment, the female player was still quite far from Gu Mian and the others. She glanced at them a few times, seemingly unintentionally, before turning her head away, as if she hadn't recognized Gu Mian.

The quick-witted fat man had already pinpointed the location of the "acquaintance" based on Gu Mian's gaze, and he stared at the direction Gu Mian was looking for several seconds.

Immediately afterward, Gu Mian saw the fat man ponder for a moment before speaking: "Regarding the 'borrowing a beauty' challenge earlier, borrowing this one should also allow us to pass, right?"

Gu Mian's eyebrows twitched: "All you do is look at beautiful women. If you like beautiful women so much, why don't you become a beautiful woman yourself?"

The fat man chuckled.

Anzhi Tinglan never expected to run into that player again in the event. She had realized that this player seemed to be someone to be trifled with when she was in the Sweet Lovers dungeon, so she had been trying her best to conceal her identity in the dungeon. She never expected to run into him directly this time.

She had noticed the boat without a boatman long ago, as well as the player on board who was wrapped up so tightly that his face was hard to see. Although the other party was disguised very strangely, she still managed to sense something with her extraordinary senses.

Anzhi Tinglan, who had been secretly watching the scene, witnessed Qi Tian's boat capsize. She saw the last word Qi Tian shouted and the eerie smile on the face of the man with black-rimmed glasses after the boat capsized, although that eerie smile was instantly replaced by a fake expression of sadness.

Anzhi Tinglan was certain that the capsizing incident was related to him, and she carefully thought about the last words the person who sank desperately shouted.

Gu?
"Tinglan," the girl next to her called her name, "What's wrong? You seem to be spacing out?"

Anzhi Tinglan immediately realized what was happening: "It's nothing, I was just spacing out."

After she finished speaking, she glanced deeply in Gu Mian's direction.

“The doctor doesn’t seem to recognize you,” the fat man glanced over there a few times before turning back, “but it’s also possible that she recognizes you but is pretending not to.”

Gu Mian stroked her chin: "The instance I played with her didn't display nicknames."

The fat man also pinched his chubby chin like Gu Mian: "That's even better. Doctor, your name was already covered up. This person doesn't even know your fake name, let alone your identity."

"But she seemed to recognize me, someone she knew, but pretended not to... she probably guessed something," Gu Mian pondered.

Just then, the final stage of the dragon boat race suddenly began.
