Global Collapse

Chapter 730 Miss Jiao's Outrageous Remarks

"Sigh, I was always with the healer when I entered the dungeon before, we were almost never apart... Now that I've been suddenly taken away from the healer, I'm not sure what to do at all." The fat man looked a little unsure. "I wonder if Brother Chu is on the same floor as the healer."

“Besides the three of us, the rest of the people should be divided into three groups: one group on the first and second floors, one group on the third and fourth floors, and one group on the fifth and sixth floors. No matter how the remaining five people are divided, one person will be left alone.” Coco looked at the table showing the locations of the two corpses.

She thought the lone person was probably Gu Mian, since being assigned to the same floor as him would greatly reduce the difficulty of the dungeon, and they could just lie down and relax.

The instance definitely doesn't want other players to have an easy time, so there's a very high chance that Gu Mian will be alone.

“The players on the fifth and sixth floors just completed the task, which are the players on the floors below us,” 007 paused for a moment as if thinking, “It seems that the people on our floors are very efficient. Could the people on the floors below be Gu Mian?”

"That's not necessarily true. The task looks pretty simple to me." The fat man recalled the text he had just seen on the screen. "It's about helping a girl find a necklace. It doesn't seem dangerous."

However, it's hard to tell the level of danger just by looking at the mission description; who knows, that necklace might even eat people.

Just as the fat man was lost in his fantasies, the large screen next to him suddenly changed.

All three noticed this and turned to look at the screen.

A new task appeared on the screen—

[A while ago, the "corpse" in room 708 had a crush on a woman, but she disliked his plain looks. In a fit of anger, he peeled off his entire face and threw it away...]

Seeing this fat man, I silently shuddered. What a terrifying and bloody love story this is.

He touched the goosebumps on his arm and continued looking down.

[Because of his missing face, the corpse in room 708 is experiencing great inconvenience. He feels remorse and asks everyone to help him find his lost face.]

If you successfully help Mr. 708 find his face, he will unlock the locations of the two corpses in the building.

708 was the extra dismembered body on their floor.

"When we passed 708 just now, did that corpse have a face?" Coco recalled with a puzzled look.

"The body in that room was in too many pieces. I saw the head of the body in the corner facing the wall, but I didn't have the courage to pry it up. I guess it must have felt ashamed when it was facing the wall." The fat man thought that it probably felt too ashamed to face the wall, so it turned its head to the wall so that they couldn't see it.

“Now that the mission has been issued, let’s go to room 708 and see if there are any clues,” Coco suggested.

The other two nodded, and the three of them walked together toward room 708.

As the fat man walked, he said, "Speaking of which, the two missions we know of so far are both about helping to find things from corpses. Will the other missions in the future be like this too?"

At this moment, Gu Mian was browsing the second task she had received.

He had barely finished his first task when the instance hurriedly gave him a second one, probably because they were worried he'd be bored and destroy things in the building.

His second task was to "compile a jigsaw puzzle".

It's more like a jigsaw puzzle...

[Mr. Corpse in Room 603 has heard that a new guest has arrived on this floor. He has enthusiastically issued a challenge to you. Just now, he hid all the parts of his body separately. Please find all the parts and piece him together.]

[After winning the challenge, Mr. 603 will unlock three corpse locations for all players in the building.]

Gu Mian had previously thought that unlocking only two corpse locations per mission was a bit stingy, but this time he was surprised to find three unlocked. He guessed that the number of corpses unlocked per mission would increase as time went on. As he pondered this, he continued reading, and there was another line of text below.

If the challenge is not completed within ten minutes, a penalty will be imposed by Mr. 603. Mr. 603 will then impose a penalty every ten minutes until the challenge is completed.

There are also punishments?

The person who helped the woman on the floor find her necklace didn't mention any punishment for not finding it. The corpse in room 603 is truly inhuman.

He remembered that there was a corpse in room 603 with arms and legs scattered everywhere, the body quite dismembered.

The other corpses on Gu Mian's floor were all in groups of three, but this dismembered corpse had four. He guessed that the upstairs or downstairs floors might lack this type of corpse and needed to use the corpses from his floor to make up a set of three.

Let's go check room 603 first, see if there are any remaining body parts.

Gu Mian walked towards 603 while thinking.

Before leaving, he casually pulled off the strawberry necklace from the neck of the corpse at his feet. It was a necklace that female ghosts liked, and he thought he would give it to Xiao Hong when he got back. She would probably like it.

When Gu Mian ripped the necklace off, the charred corpse on the ground seemed to stir, perhaps wanting to jump up and curse Gu Mian for being shameless. However, perhaps considering her personal safety, Miss Jiao did not utter any wild words, and could only silently express her resentment towards Gu Mian.

Gu Mian soon arrived at room 603, where the mission was issued. He had taken his axe from here. Apparently, the corpse in the room felt that his axe had been taken and was determined to take revenge on Gu Mian, so he left no fragments behind, and the room was spotless.

The corpse is punished every ten minutes, but it's unclear what the punishment is.

Gu Mian noticed that when she received the mission, there were four hours and twenty-one minutes left on the countdown. This meant that if she didn't complete the challenge by four hours and eleven minutes, she would receive the first punishment.

It's unclear how many parts he's divided himself into, but Gu Mian probably wouldn't be able to find them all in ten minutes by himself. Punishment seems to be beckoning him.

Speaking of which...

Gu Mian suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity with the current situation, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Thinking of this, Gu Mian stopped and pondered seriously. A few seconds later, he suddenly realized why he felt this situation was somewhat familiar.

"That programmer's manual!" Gu Mian thought of something, reached into her pocket and pulled out a small booklet.

This is the work manual he stole from an NPC in the previous instance.

The NPC claimed to be a programmer for a small game and even produced this booklet to prove his identity. Gu Mian flipped through it and glanced at it, seeing that it was full of bug fix records.

He casually slipped the booklet into his pocket and used it as a notebook.

He opened the booklet, and the first two lines on the first page read, "Fixed the bug where player clothing would be removed during gameplay" and "Fixed the issue where multiple corpses would get stuck and unable to move when in the same room."

He had roughly looked at this page before, so he turned to the next page to look at the parts he hadn't paid attention to.

"Fixed a bug where players could use special items such as 'Say xx, xx arrive' and 'The little horse that only jumps in a 'sun' pattern' to glitch out of the building."

"Fixed a bug where players could use special items such as [Gu Mian's Mobile Chat Logs] and [Toilet Reading Material That Ghosts Can't Resist] to trap corpses out of buildings."

"Due to too many vulnerabilities caused by special items, after obtaining the quality standard, borrow the [High-Power Special Item Blocker] from the neighboring 'Ghost Drawing Analysis and Painting Exam Dungeon'. From now on, all special items will be disabled in this dungeon."

Wait a minute, what is that "Gu Mian's phone chat history" thing?
