Global Collapse

Chapter 479 Grumbling
To be honest, Gu Mian had never lived in such a dilapidated house before.

Although he was an orphan since childhood, the director took him out every day to swindle and cheat, and he managed to bring back quite a bit of money.

Even though their place leaked rain in the summer and drafts in the winter, the dean's efforts in swindling and cheating provided them with enough money to hire someone to fix the holes.

In short, even an orphanage is several levels better than this place.

Of course, as a sinner in the world, Gu Mian knew she couldn't afford to sleep in a nice house.

After all, they were put here to make a fool of themselves.

By this time, it was completely dark, because this was a small mountain valley, so it got dark very quickly.

Through the crooked door frame, Gu Mian saw the sky gradually darkening. The weather was not good today, with occasional low rumbles of thunder coming from the horizon.

The air was stuffy.

There was no clock in this slum-like little house, and Gu Mian estimated that it was around six o'clock in the afternoon.

How to sleep was a big problem. Looking at the pile of rags in the corner, Gu Mian fell into deep thought.

The crew's photographers were gathered at the entrance, filming every corner. Gu Mian really didn't know what they could possibly film in this dark and gloomy room.

At this time, most people have finished work, and in a world with limited entertainment options, television is the most common way for people to pass the time.

The show "Transformation" was already a huge hit, and thanks to Gu Mian's unreasonable behavior not long ago, the show's ratings have soared even higher.

Some viewers in front of the television made sarcastic remarks, while others were overjoyed and thinking about what tasks they should propose.

They stared wide-eyed at the people on the screen with malice.

The dilapidated house had long been equipped with cameras. After it got completely dark, the photographers left in small groups, but the cameras inside continued to function.

Meanwhile, as Banwo Lai Nian was lighting a candle with a match, he spoke softly away from the camera: "I have a feeling that these people's attitude towards us is a bit subtle... I don't quite understand the meaning of this show. There are countless ways to make ghosts chase us, but why is it in the form of a variety show?"

This female guest is unaware of the old worldview.

She's still preoccupied with when the ghost will finally appear, unaware that she might be facing something far more terrifying than the ghost.

At this moment, Chu Changge, sitting on the tattered cloth, pushed up his glasses and said, "The task given by the instance is to complete the filming of the program. I guess there might be all sorts of unexpected events during the program, and it wouldn't be surprising if we even found out that the entire production crew is full of ghosts..."

Gu Mian touched her guitar bag, thinking that Chu Changge was lying through his teeth again.

Gu Mian hadn't noticed it before, but after this global game started, she discovered Chu Changge's amazing ability.

Perhaps because he usually doesn't have much of an expression, he doesn't blush at all when he lies. Gu Mian has never actually seen him blush before.

"So you'd better be careful, and if you sense anything is wrong, you can run away immediately."

The person who lit the candle in the coming year nodded as if they understood, then fell into deep thought.

"I'm telling you," Gu Mian suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "are you trying to scam someone?"

Chu Changge answered calmly, "This instance is somewhat special..."

Gu Mian thought he was talking nonsense. If it's called a special instance, how could it not be special? Chu Changge pushed up his glasses and continued, "The difficulty of the tasks for players in this instance may vary."

Gu Mian understood this as well.

Although they entered the instance together and had the same mission, it would be quite difficult for Gu Mian and the other three, who were considered "sinners," to continue filming smoothly, while the other five only needed to play the victim to make everyone lose interest in them.

Of course, only those who understand the old worldview know how to play the victim on the show, while for those who don't know this worldview, one wrong step could be fatal.

Imagine you feel sorry for a beggar who begs on the street no matter the weather, and you give him some money every time you pass by. But one day you suddenly discover that he is a wealthy man who owns ten houses.

Begging is just a hobby, and people don't care at all about the charity you give them.

In this way, the feelings will change, turning from sympathy into something else...

Anger, jealousy, even madness.

Gu Mian didn't know if a normal person would go crazy if they encountered such a thing, but people in this world would definitely go crazy.

The other five are now beggars who own more than a dozen houses but have to beg on the streets. If they were smarter and discovered the rules of this world earlier, they could have lived safely to the end.

As for the fat man, Gu Mian wasn't worried about him at all.

The fat man is well-versed in the rules of this world and has experienced many dungeons, though he always wins by doing nothing.

But Gu Mian thinks the fat man's ability to play the victim is quite good.

Although the other five people could be doomed if they made one wrong step, the difficulty on their side was indeed much greater than that on Gu Mian's side.

If the other five people were walking on thin ice in the dungeon, then Gu Mian and the others were at the very bottom of a cliff, in an ice cave.

They need to find a way to climb up...

However, Gu Mian noticed that the guest from next year didn't seem to have this awareness. At this moment, she was staring at the tiny light in the darkness, seemingly wondering when the ghost would come out.

As the only female guest, she didn't seem worried about where she would sleep that night and appeared completely unconcerned about being surrounded by three boys.

At this moment, Chu Changge's voice suddenly came from the side: "This is a special instance. It was mentioned at the beginning of the global game that special instances are difficult and unique. The difficulty of this instance is quite obvious, and the difficulty for our side is very high."

Therefore, the difficulty level for players entering this instance is determined by their own abilities? Gu Mian understood what Chu Changge meant.

He stroked his chin, thinking, "If the players on their side are of higher quality than those on the other side..."

Does that mean this person who will accompany me next year won't be an easy problem either?
Gu Mian thought of Liu Ruyan on the other side. Liu Ruyan was never one to be trifled with, and she never expected that she would be classified as one of the "weak" in this instance.

So you mean someone who's with me next year is better than Liu Ruyan?
As Gu Mian pondered, she glanced at Lai Nian in the dim light. She saw Lai Nian sitting quietly beside her. Although she didn't look like a naive and innocent girl, she didn't seem like a treacherous and cunning person either.

Seemingly sensing Gu Mian's thoughts, Chu Changge pinched his glasses frame: "Not all high-quality players are treacherous and cunning."

"Oh," Gu Mian nodded, "Not all players are like you."

Chu Changge shut his mouth.

Gugu's head fell off! Gugu doesn't hurt anymore! Gugu is going to update a lot! Gugugu!
