Global Collapse

Chapter 502 No way, no way, there really aren't authors who can't write 10,000 words a day?

Gu Mian pushed Xiao Hong's face away in disgust.

Xiao Hong's attempt to simp failed, and she crawled back under the bed with a wronged expression—let's just say her expression was one of grievance.

Gu Mian looked around and saw that everyone else had returned.

Everyone maintained the same positions they had when they entered the instance. Liu Ruyan was still standing at the entrance. Before entering the instance, Gu Mian was still talking to her about the old human world. She never expected that this world would collapse in the blink of an eye.

Liu Ruyan's face was a little pale, perhaps because she had been covered in dust in the dungeon.

She swayed slightly, but quickly reached out a hand to steady herself against the wall. Then she looked up at Gu Mian with a strange smile: "It's been a long time since I've seen this world. I thought this day would never come so soon."

Gu Mian knew that what she had been missing for so long was the old world.

I wonder what Liu Ruyan thinks about how the old days ended up.

But she didn't seem to have any intention of expressing her own thoughts. Gu Mian saw her withdraw her hand from the wall and straighten up: "It's already very late today, I'll go back first... Oh, and I'll also check on the situation of those people downstairs."

The group of people downstairs refers to the girls who will accompany me next year. I wonder if this girl eventually succeeded in hanging herself.

Su Xiaochai was probably saved because the instance crashed.

As Liu Ruyan slowly walked away until her figure disappeared into the darkness, the fat man next to him made a strange sound: "But doctor, I don't think I saw any game announcements this time, and there was no compensation either."

It seems all this fat guy cares about is compensation.

Chu Changge sat on the sofa just like before entering the instance, with a cup of rose tea that would never get cold on the table in front of him: "Not only that, the Old Human Realm is also a bit slower in kicking players out of the instance this time."

Indeed, Gu Mian nodded in agreement.

He had assumed that the old humans would move them out of the instance when the first crack appeared in the sky.

but no.

This caused Gu Mian to almost tear the law book in half, and the old people also began to scatter ashes as a result.

Gu Mian felt that no one in the old world would think, "Even if there's a crack, I don't believe Gu Mian can really tear me apart."

It must have wanted to stab people out the moment it cracked open for the first time.

But it may not have been successful.

“Perhaps it was hindered by Earth. You know, Earth would be happy to destroy all parallel worlds. Of course, there is another possibility,” Chu Changge said, looking at Gu Mian. “When the first crack appeared, some functions were destroyed as a result, such as the function of kicking players out of the instance.”

Gu Mian touched her chin.

The fat man pondered, "If it's the second scenario, then the old human world realized they couldn't kick people after the first crack appeared, so they immediately summoned NPCs to repair the function, and then repaired it in less than a minute before kicking the doctor out?"

He might have even shouted something like "Fuck you" while kicking someone.

The fat man said logically, "Of course, it's also possible that the old human world is gone, and if the instance is gone, we'll naturally be out."

Chu Changge shook his head: "A world is not so easy to destroy. Moreover, what Gu Mian tore apart was not the real original. To destroy a low-dimensional world, one must find its embodiment in the corresponding high-dimensional world to completely destroy it."

“But speaking of the possession objects of the old world… the possession objects of the old world must be related to the code, or at least something similar. But I don’t think such a code exists in the real world.” Gu Mian had already sat back on his bed. When Xiao Hong saw him sit down, she crawled out from under the bed and spread out on Gu Mian’s bed in a starfish shape, pretending to be a corpse.

Looking across the globe, no country has a system similar to that of the old society. It's a pathological system; even the novel's author exclaimed how absurd it was.

At this moment, the fat man, whose entire childhood had been poisoned by Qidian.com, suddenly spoke up: "Since the vessel of the second world is a novel, could the code of law in the old human world also be a setting from a novel?"

They can only find things in fantasy that don't exist in reality.

The fat man's words made sense, but Gu Mian suddenly thought of a question: "If the code originated from a novel, wouldn't the world created within the code be even more primitive than the world in the novel?"

Just like Gu Mian wrote a book, the protagonist is an author, and the protagonist in the book also wrote a book.

Gu Mian belongs to the real world, while the protagonist belongs to a lower-dimensional world. The book written by the protagonist is the lowest of the low-dimensional.

The fat man was a little confused. For some reason, he remembered the story of the old monk telling the young monk a story.

Just as the fat man was burning his last few brain cells, the announcement appeared.

[Special Instance Temporary Closure Notice]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the special instance "Metamorphosis" is closed today.

The announcement made no mention of the old human world, which is normal, since other players are unaware of the lower-dimensional world.

The announcement was quite short, but Gu Mian inexplicably sensed that "the shorter the text, the more serious the situation."

Chu Changge glanced at the time: "The announcement was released 21 minutes after we left the instance, which means the situation has become so serious that there is no time to release an announcement."

“That’s right,” said the fat man, who had just broken free from the old monk’s story to the young monk. “When I used to work in the firecracker factory, whenever something minor happened, the boss would immediately start thinking about how to publish an article, how to appease people, and how to talk about the future. If there was a chance, he would even share his wonderful feelings with the workers. It was longer than a college entrance exam essay. The minor thing I’m talking about is something like a small pile of goods burning.”

Gu Mian listened with great interest.

The fat man moved his lips and said, "Later, the factory was blown up. I mean blown up, the whole thing, people and warehouse, all at once. The boss just said one thing: 'In xx year xx month, our factory had a fire accident. The company immediately took emergency measures and the fire has now been successfully extinguished.'"

The fire was extinguished, but the boss died along with it.

That was the last thing the boss said; afterwards, he ended up in jail.

Hearing what the fat man said, Gu Mian felt that this newly issued announcement had the same style as the old firecracker factory owner.

A few minutes later, another announcement appeared.

[Announcement of Complete Shutdown of All Dungeons and Instances Effective Immediately]

When Gu Mian saw this title, she thought the global game was going to shut down, but after reading on, she found out that it was just a short maintenance.

Starting today, the game will undergo maintenance on all global instances for 15 days, from today until June 25th. All ticket booths will be closed, and players will be unable to enter instances. The game marketplace will continue to operate.

[The maintenance will bring players a new gaming experience]

This means that all instances will be shut down globally for half a month. It seems that Gu Mian went a bit too far this time. Last time, the Lantern Festival event only shut down a long list of instances, but this time she went all out and shut down the entire world.

GuGu spent all night calculating torques while playing a murder mystery game! Waaaaaah!
