Global Collapse

The title of Chapter 503 was eaten by Gugu.

Therefore, the old world is still a crucial world.

The collapse of this world caused the global gaming industry to shut down.

"But with the ticket booths closed, it doesn't really matter whether the supermarket is open or not," the fat man muttered to himself.

Not to mention that after the dungeon was shut down, players lost their way to obtain in-game currency, and entering the supermarket also required a ticket, which could only be obtained from the ticket booth.

Now only players who previously hoarded supermarket tickets can enter the supermarket.

As he was thinking, the fat man rushed into the room and started rummaging through the cartoon wallet on the table. He actually managed to pull out a stack of bills from it.

He excitedly waved the stack of supermarket admission tickets in his hand: "Because the doctor always found it troublesome to buy tickets before entering the supermarket, I bought a whole stack in advance. I didn't expect it to come in handy today."

Even without this stack of tickets, Gu Mian and the others wouldn't starve; it would just mean fewer variety of dishes.

"Ah," the fat man remarked as he rummaged through his wallet, "the dungeon has been shut down for half a month. A lot of people must have gone hungry during that time, right?"

indeed.

Because the dungeons are quite difficult and players lose items upon failure, they rarely accumulate much in-game currency and often struggle to make ends meet.

Just as the fat man was rummaging through his Holle Kitty wallet, Gu Mian suddenly realized that her compensation had arrived.

He looked at the email and, in addition to the already agreed-upon thousand game coins, there was an extra special item.

This unusual item is clearly an old publication, inextricably linked to the legal code.

Wildlife Protection Law

[Description: "The moment it was stuffed into someone's mouth, the wildlife protection law came into effect!"]

Humans' most prominent trait is that they want to take a bite of everything they see, and countless rare animals have suffered from poisonous bites, wanting to take a second bite after taking one bite.
As wildlife populations dwindled, people realized this situation couldn't continue, and thus the 'Wildlife Protection Law' was enacted!

[Function: Entering a player's name in the 'Wildlife' section of this regulation will immediately add that player to the wildlife protection list. Under the Wildlife Protection Law, all pursuit and harm against that player will be restricted for a short period of time. Each player's name can only be entered once.]

[Additional information: Players who enter other people's names become legislators. The higher the legislator's deterrent level, the stronger the effect of the "Wildlife Protection Law" and the longer its duration.]

Each person's name can only be filled in once.

Gu Mian flipped through the protection law in her hand and saw that there were ten slots in the "Wild Animals" section, which meant that once ten people's names were filled in, the document would be useless.

"Ah, this..." The fat man looked at Gu Mian's newly acquired special item, "It means that if you, Doctor, fill in someone's name, you become the legislator; when you see me being chased by a ghost, if you fill in my name, the ghost will stop chasing me, right?"

Chu Changge spoke up at an inopportune moment: "I think the effect would be the same even without the protection law."

The fat man choked. "That's right," he thought. "The doctor saw him being chased by a ghost, so the ghost must have seen the doctor too..."

In that case, whether or not there is a protection law, the outcome is the same.

However, this protection law should be quite effective when used in conjunction with cheating groups.

The fat guy started imagining himself being chased by a ghost in a place beyond the doctor's reach. So he shouted "Doctor, save me!" in the group chat, thinking that Gu Mian would turn him into a wild animal in time. But unexpectedly, the doctor didn't respond in time and ended up being eaten by the ghost...

The fat man's thoughts became increasingly distorted, and his entire face twisted into a grimace.

“Speaking of which, the higher the legislator’s deterrent power, the stronger the effect, right?” Gu Mian looked at the protective law in her hand. “So if the legislator is fat, is the effect practically nonexistent?”

The fat man snapped out of his reverie, his face flushed, and was about to defend himself when Chu Changge spoke up: "I'm afraid so."

Gu Mian pondered for a moment: "That's why this stuff is more effective in my hands."

However, he didn't have an inventory, and he usually carried a huge chainsaw on his back, so there was really no other place to put a copy of the Wildlife Protection Law. In the dungeon, Chu Changge was often not with Gu Mian.

As Gu Mian was thinking, she saw her brother standing to the side. Her brother couldn't bring things into the CD, but considering that he had been catching a mouse in the old world, he could be used as a portable baggage.

He reached out and stuffed the Wildlife Protection Law into his brother's hand, then thought for a moment and handed him a pen instead—it was truly ingenious.

Finally, Gu Mian stuffed the CD into her brother's pocket as well.

The goddess's brother can't stray too far from the CD. If you put the CD in his pocket, he can run around freely. When they're in a dungeon, the CD is usually in Gu Mian's pocket. When they're not in a dungeon, Gu Mian usually lets him take the CD for a walk.

But my brother usually doesn't go out.

After repeatedly confirming Chu Changge's and Fatty's emails, Gu Mian learned that he was the only one who had received an extra special item. Perhaps the instance thought he must have been very tired when he tore up the codex, so it gave him an extra item as compensation.

Gu Mian was indeed a little tired, and he pinched the bridge of his nose.

It's almost 3 a.m., and a light rain has started falling outside the window, with the rain showing signs of getting heavier.

Xiao Hong, unwilling to be left out, had already clung to Gu Mian from behind, stretching out her head to nibble at his head.

Gu Mian reached out and pulled Xiao Hong, who was gnawing on her head, off the bed and stuffed her under the bed. She then took off her blood-stained coat and said, "I'm a little tired today. I'm going to sleep now, everyone. Goodnight."

After he finished speaking, he rested his head on the soft pillow, covered himself with his small blanket, and reached out a hand to press Xiao Hong, who was struggling to crawl out from under the bed, back down.

The fat man happily took the white coat that Gu Mian had placed by the bed, ran to the bathroom, stuffed this special item into the washing machine, and carefully examined whether it contained toilet cleaner before pouring in the laundry detergent.

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Xiao Hong struggling to crawl out and lying on the headboard with her mouth wide open.

Gu Mian was already asleep, and her happy face looked very peaceful against the backdrop of Xiao Hong's gaping maw.

After opening its blood-red mouth wide at Gu Mian's head for a while, Xiao Hong seemed to realize that Gu Mian had fallen asleep. Reluctantly, she closed her mouth and quietly crawled back under the bed.

"Ah," the fat man sighed, looking at Gu Mian's room, "So doctors get tired too?"

He had been following the unlucky Gu Mian for half a year, and this was the first time he had seen Gu Mian look so tired.

Chu Changge looked at the [Supernatural Editor Simulator] on the table and said, "Of course it's tiring to modify the most important data in the world all at once."

In other words, Gu Mian was able to tamper with the legal code, while others might not have been able to leave any traces on the book at all.

Just then, the fat man suddenly heard a knock on the door. There were two households living in this building, so it wasn't surprising that someone was knocking on the door.

He jogged to the door and looked through the peephole. Standing outside was the one who would accompany me next year, the one whose noose Gu Mian had snatched from me.

After the collapse of the "Transformation" episode, the people downstairs probably already know Gu Mian's identity.

Xiao Qiao, on the other side, already knew that Gu Mian and the others had left the instance.

The player who had been caught and tortured by her, who claimed "you hit me to collect a debt," was able to escape. After Gu Mian and the others left the instance, Xiao Qiao immediately released her grip on the back of the man's collar and left without saying a word.

The debt collector felt that there was something off about the way Xiao Qiao left.

He stumbled and staggered, probably because he had been standing for too long and his legs had gone numb.

It's worth mentioning that Xiao Qiao is a very principled person. She knew where Gu Mian and the others were staying, and found the hotel run by Liu Ruyan that very night, even though it was raining.

Since it was the middle of the night, the front door was already locked.

So Xiao Qiao politely asked in the group chat, "Could someone come down and open the door for me?"

But everyone was already asleep, and no one saw her politely inquire.

So Xiao Qiao, who could slam the door open with one punch, waited patiently in the rainy night for someone to open the door for her, until Gu Mian woke up early the next morning and noticed Xiao Qiao's polite inquiry.

At this moment, the fat man was fast asleep, and Chu Changge was also asleep, though he was silent.

Liu Ruyan did not react at all.

After a moment's thought, Gu Mian suddenly realized that something was very wrong.

He immediately went downstairs to check and saw Xiao Qiao lying on the steps by the door, looking like she was about to die.

A lazy cooter, too lazy to even come up with a title.
