Global Collapse

Chapter 712 The Seven Wonders Amusement Park

"Your package has been received. Please rate this service."

This delivery slip is quite intelligent; it grows legs when it needs to and arms when it needs to.

After the delivery was completed, it grew two more hands. One hand held the positive review slip, and the other hand held a pen, searching around for the recipient, wanting a five-star review.

But it searched aimlessly for a while and still couldn't find the recipient.

"Mr. Zhao Tiankuo? Mr. Zhao Tiankuo?"

It was unclear where the vocal organs of these two arms were, but they began to strain their voices in search of Zhao Tiankuo.

A hand trembled as it reached out from under the toy car; clearly, Mr. Zhao Tiankuo was there.

The hand is stretched out to reach for the positive review list, probably wanting to give it a one-star rating to vent its anger.

Just as this hand was about to receive the positive review, Gu Mian snatched the paper and pen away, ticked off a five-star rating, and shoved the paper back into the two hands in front of her.

The two hands seemed to feel like something was missing, and their movements appeared somewhat hesitant. But after all, they were just two mindless hands. After a moment of hesitation, they happily left with the five-star review slip, probably heading back to the squid logistics company.

Wang Na, who had been thrown away by Gu Mian, rolled twice on the ground, only daring to get up after rolling a little further away from the rocking car. He then tucked his hands into his pockets and looked furtively at Gu Mian.

After watching the positive review slip disappear, Gu Mian jumped out of the car, grabbed the hand that was sticking out from under the car, and pulled Zhao Tiankuo out from under it.

Zhao Tiankuo had just seen the light of day again when he looked up and saw Gu Mian's big face in front of him. He almost fainted.

"I heard you know people from the amusement park?" Gu Mian didn't give him a chance to faint and directly pulled Zhao Tiankuo in front of her.

"I know them, I know them, I know them," Zhao Tiankuo said nervously, repeating "I know them" several times. "I met a few people when I was doing transportation work, shipping things to that world..."

"How did you enter the world of Paradise?"

“It’s that train,” Zhao Tiankuo glanced cautiously at Gu Mian, “You know, the train that can travel between different worlds. I heard you used it once not long ago, and it immediately went back for repairs. After that, I couldn’t continue doing transportation and unloading work, so I came here to find a job that involves dating people…”

Unexpectedly, Gu Mian was matched with me on my first match.

He was truly unlucky and his life was full of misfortunes; he could only lament his miserable fate.

Zhao Tiankuo also entered the Paradise World via the Time Escape Train, but the train is currently under repair, so the only way to enter the Paradise World is through a dungeon entry ticket.

"Do you have a ticket to the Paradise World instance?" Gu Mian didn't have high hopes for this.

Zhao Tiankuo was just a lowly unloading worker before, so you can't expect him to get his hands on such high-end items.

Sure enough, he shrank his neck and shook his head, seemingly afraid that his answer would displease Gu Mian. He then immediately added, "But I have the contact information for several NPCs in the Paradise World!"

Gu Mian took out the work manual that had been confiscated from the programmer from her pocket, and held the ballpoint pen with the four big characters "Squid Logistics" printed on it, ready to take notes.

"There are two stops in Paradise World where you can get off: Crazy Game City and the Church of the Bone. We always unloaded our cargo at the dock near Crazy Game City when we were doing transportation work. When the game first launched, the game city instance was shut down for a while. At that time, the Crazy Game City employees were out of work and went to work odd jobs at the dock where we unloaded our cargo, which is how I got to know them."

Speaking of Crazy Game City...

Coco suddenly spoke up: "I remember there was a Lantern Festival event not long after the server opened. That event ended early due to some glitches, and several dungeons also had bugs and could not run properly. Crazy Game City was on the list of dungeons that were shut down at the time."

"Yes, yes, yes, the Crazy Game City instance was shut down during the Lantern Festival event." Zhao Tiankuo nodded repeatedly.

"Stop talking nonsense," Gu Mian said, holding up a pen and paper. "Quickly tell me your contact information."

Zhao Tiankuo shrank back and began to betray the friends he had made in the amusement park world. At this moment, Wang Napao, who was acting suspiciously nearby, took out a phone, put it to his mouth, and muttered something under his breath.

"Hello, this is Wang Napao from Sunshine Insurance Company. I've been captured by Gu Mian and he's torturing me! There's another ghost he's captured too, and he's revealing important secrets about the Paradise World to him. I request that Gu Mian's instance be shut down immediately and kicked out..."

Keke, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted Wang Napao secretly making a phone call. She patted Gu Mian, signaling him to look in Wang Napao's direction.

Gu Mian turned around and saw Wang Napao holding a mobile phone and tattling on someone, and she immediately laughed.

It seems he still has something in his inventory that he hasn't taken out yet.

Wang Na was quietly making a phone call when he suddenly felt a chill down his back. He stiffened his neck and looked back, only to see Gu Mian standing behind him with a smile.

He screamed in fright, threw down his phone, and ran, but was grabbed by someone behind him and pinned to the ground.

"It seems you're hiding something. Come on, let me see what other good stuff you're hiding." Gu Mian said as she lifted him up.

Wang ran and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Help! Help! Murder!"

He squeezed out two tears, regretting his carelessness in secretly reporting Gu Mian.

That's bad; he's about to die on the spot.

Just as he was weeping and thought he was about to die, a line of large characters suddenly appeared in front of him—

"Following reports from relevant individuals, 'My Virtual Girlfriend/Boyfriend' has exhibited extremely violent behavior, seriously threatening the safety of players in the instance. The game developers have decided to suspend the instance operation, and all players will be kicked out of the instance in ten seconds."

"10, 9..."

As Yueluowuti was frantically fleeing, a notification of the instance's shutdown suddenly appeared on her face.

Upon seeing the description of this "extremely horrific act of violence" in the notice, she immediately thought of the monster with several legs and several heads that she had just seen. That monster was truly terrifying; it had pinned a ghost down in an instant.

She had just been wondering why such a monster would appear in the instance, since this monster had nothing to do with her virtual lover.

She only realized what was going on after seeing the service suspension notice.

"There must be a bug! That monster doesn't belong here, so the game developers hurriedly shut down the dungeon to fix the bug."

Seeing the countdown to the service suspension notice, she breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the ground.

"Great!" They didn't expect to be able to leave the dungeon so quickly and even receive compensation, enough to keep them from entering dungeons for quite some time.

"I wonder when the doctors will be able to come out." In the courtyard of the apartment building, the fat man was hanging the wrung-out clothes on the clothesline.

Xiao Hong watched longingly from the side. The fat man glanced at Xiao Hong warily and then clipped two more clothespins onto the black shirt on the clothesline.

There was a fortune teller lifting dumbbells in the courtyard. She heard the fat man talking to himself and said, "Would you like me to do a fortune telling for you?"

At this moment, the fat man suddenly spoke up excitedly: "The shutdown notice has come out, the doctor should have left the instance by now... Huh? Why are there so many instances shut down this time?"

He looked at the list of games that were shutting down: "Seven Wonders Paradise, Tragedy on the Bus, My Virtual Girlfriend/Boyfriend, The Guest Under the Bed..."

Okay, okay, everyone's pretending Auntie hasn't stopped updating before dawn! It's all that awful game's fault for tempting Auntie to stop updating! That awful game stopped my updates and made me quit!
