Global Collapse

Chapter 57 Global Arrest
Being number one should be a very honorable thing, especially being number one on a global ranking.

But it did make the list, unfortunately not a good one.

Gu Mian stared at the words "Wanted List" and fell into deep thought.

He is the only one on this list.

[Global Most Wanted List]

[Most Wanted Criminal: Gu Mian]

[Reason for arrest: Confidential]

Successfully hunting down this wanted criminal will reward you with 10000 game coins, 50 freely allocable attribute points, and five designated special items.

To be suddenly put on the wanted list... that's a bit too much.

Gu Mian knew that life had always been unkind to her, but she never expected it to be this unkind.

A warrant for arrest issued out of the blue, and the reason given for the arrest is "secret".

No matter what the earth becomes, life never stops its assassination attempts on him.

Now it's even worse. It's gone from sneaky assassinations to a large-scale manhunt, involving players all over the world, and they can't even come up with a reason for the manhunt.

Gu Mian stroked her chin: "I'm really short of money right now, and I'm starting to think about killing myself."

The fat man stammered, "Killing myself, is that even possible...?"

Gu Mian turned off the wanted list: "After this game ends, I can serialize a novel on Qidian.com. The title of the novel is 'Global Wanted,' which tells the story of how the protagonist, full of love and justice, blows up the whole world under the oppression of life."

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "If you were still alive then."

Gu Mian couldn't understand why life seemed so willing to target her, both before and after the game started.

It's one thing for the instance to target him, but now they've created this bizarre wanted list for him to be wanted globally, and he's the only one on the list.

Having more people on the wanted list would at least prevent him from being too embarrassed, but clearly this list didn't consider Gu Mian's feelings at all.

Only his name was listed there, all alone, a solitary figure.

Gu Mian felt extremely lonely.

"What are you thinking about?" Chu Changge asked, looking at him.

Gu Mian answered truthfully: "I'm thinking about how to hang more people up there to keep me company... and how to make the Earth explode."

To be honest, Gu Mian had previously studied seriously how to detonate the Earth.

However, since he was just an ordinary person, he could only think about such ideas in his mind.

But things are different now. The evolution game has started, and even if he can't add points to himself, he can still get some special items in the dungeon.

"It's only a matter of time before the Earth explodes," Gu Mian thought.

He patted his white coat and stood up: "I'm going into a dungeon later, do you guys want to come?"

The fat man looked up at him and said, "I think I can go and get some of that compensation."

Chu Changge nodded slightly.

Gu Mian sighed: "I guess players all over the world want to kill me right now. I need to figure out something from the dungeon as soon as possible, at least to survive."

Large-scale events were a must-attend event, and Gu Mian even remembered that she was going to buy a hearse to go to Hengdian to participate in the event.

Gu Mian had been inside all the ticket booths nearby, and the NPCs inside would glare at him and puff out their beards whenever they saw him, as if they were afraid he might do something rash and go back in.

After finally finding a ticket booth they hadn't been to before, the NPC inside seemed to recognize Gu Mian. The slightly chubby NPC looked Gu Mian up and down several times before asking, full of questions, "Gu Mian?"

Gu Mian's appearance is too easy to recognize—a doctor carrying a big guitar.

You can usually recognize him at a glance.

Since he had already been recognized, Gu Mian couldn't hide it anymore. He nodded and said, "Open a team dungeon ticket."

The NPC choked, and after a long while, he hesitantly spoke: "Do you know..."

The fat man craned his neck, seemingly very curious about what the NPC would say.

"These dungeons in our game... are like girls in a brothel; you can choose which customers to take... I think the girls in our brothel don't seem too keen on taking customers today..."

Gu Mian smiled slightly, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the NPC's collar: "Then do you know..."

There's a term called "forced buying and selling," which describes people like us. It means that if I want to buy, you have to sell to me.

Under Gu Mian's well-intentioned coercion, the three of them obtained a team dungeon ticket and are currently in the dungeon matchmaking process.

It was still dark until a dungeon was matched.

Only the panels of the three characters glowed faintly in the darkness.

[Matching for a dungeon, please wait—]

[Matchmaking successful, currently matching teammates, please wait—]

Teammates? The fat man looked at the panel curiously: "I thought that if we were in a team match, it would only be the three of us."

Gu Mian's voice came from the darkness beside them: "That's not necessarily true. It depends on how many people the matched instance can accommodate."

A few seconds later, the panel changed again, and at the same time, the surroundings suddenly lit up.

Gu Mian immediately looked to the side and saw that this instance seemed to be relatively mild, because they were currently on a huge and brightly lit platform.

It's like a stage for variety shows, with five cages lined up on one side of the stage, but there are no audience seats around the stage.

A dozen or so people had gathered on the huge stage, all looking around in surprise, as if it were the first time they had experienced such a dungeon.

Gu Mian looked at her panel, where the dungeon description had already appeared.

[Copy: Crazy Word Guessing Game]

Number of players: 15

Difficulty: ★★★

The description of this instance is very brief. Why didn't it even mention the quests and rewards?

Gu Mian immediately understood why the introduction was so concise, because a host was standing in the middle of the stage at that moment.

He was very short, barely reaching 1.6 meters even with a tall green hat. He wore a bright green suit with a bright green bow tie around his neck, and had a flamboyant smile on his face, which looked somewhat comical.

Gu Mian guessed that the host really liked broccoli.

At this moment, the host was standing on a slightly elevated platform, holding a microphone and shouting in an exaggerated tone: "Welcome everyone to Crazy Guess the Word! I am the host of this game. Please listen carefully, I am about to give you some instructions on how to play the game."

The author had writer's block today and deleted thousands of drafts, so worried about writing a mess that the author's head is practically bald o(╥﹏╥)o.

If you feel the writing is going to fall apart, please let me know. Otherwise, the author might inexplicably get carried away and then the writing will fall apart...
