Global Collapse

Chapter 744 Wishing everyone a Happy New Year

This is……

The fat man looked left and right and came to a conclusion.

"Dog hole?"

“Dog what dog,” Gu Mian shoved the fat man aside, “It’s a key.”

"Huh?" The fat man was dumbfounded. The thing in Gu Mian's hand was made of three wooden strips, like a rectangular frame without a short side.

This looks like a dog hole no matter how you look at it, and has absolutely nothing to do with a key.

Clever Coco reached out and touched the door frame in Gu Mian's hand. After touching it, she paused for two seconds and said, "It's a special item."

Upon hearing this, the fat man also reached out to touch it, and sure enough, a special item notification panel popped up after he touched it—

Key No. 108 from a Mysterious World (Dragon Overlord Version)

Gu Mian remembered seeing this key from the mysterious world somewhere before; she guessed it was a special item from a series. But what was with this "Dragon Overlord version"?

[Description: A poorly made key hastily produced by someone, resembling a dog hole, and it didn't even have a serial number engraved on it.]

Gu Mian guessed that the "someone" referred to was the evil god. He guessed that the key series from the mysterious world was all made by the evil god. It was indeed in line with his style to create special items and throw them around.

[How to use: Say to the key, 'Very well, you have successfully provoked my anger. Prepare to face my wrath! Haha, your era is over, now it is my era!']

"Haha, you've successfully provoked my anger..." Before I could even finish reading, Xiao Qiao was already engrossed in her role-playing.

Coco quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from actually reading the whole long line.

“It’s alright,” the fat man turned to look at Xiao Qiao, who was being held by Coco and could barely breathe: “She misremembered her lines.”

As expected of the "Overlord" version, this long string of dialogue is just too embarrassing. I've seen similar lines in many "Overlord" and "Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me" novels.

He couldn't help but recall that classic line from the domineering CEO: "Woman, you've successfully caught my attention."

Thankfully, it wasn't that sentence; he could hardly imagine the expression on Gu Mian's face when she read it with a straight face.

I don't know what the person who designed this line was thinking; it's really wicked. The fat man was starting to feel a little excited, already imagining the exciting scene of Gu Mian using the dog hole.

Gu Mian didn't comment on the embarrassing lines, but she felt that the string was too long, and thankfully it wasn't some kind of special move.

Imagine if he had to give such a long speech before sawing the ghost; by the time he finished, the ghost would have already run two miles away.

He continued to look down.

Now that we've explained how to use it, let's look at the functions.

[Function: After reciting the designated lines, the key will teleport all creatures within a 500-meter radius into the 'Paradise' world; performing the above operation again in 'Paradise' will teleport all creatures within the 500-meter radius back to their original world.]

"It's a special item that can teleport us into the Paradise World," the fat man exclaimed excitedly. "Now we don't have to search everywhere for Paradise World dungeon entry tickets, but how did the evil god know we were going to Paradise?"

Gu Mian was worried that Louis's body would be cold by the time they got the amusement park tickets, but she didn't expect the evil god to send them a portal.

He's like a pillow that comes to your head when you're feeling sleepy; it's like having a hidden camera in your own home.

Yes, a video/audio camera...

"Where is Mr. Green?" Gu Mian suddenly looked up and searched around.

Mr. Green isn't here.

"Little Red probably took it and played with it again." The fat man didn't seem to care much. Then he suddenly remembered something. "Doctor, this thing is said to be able to pull all creatures within 500 meters into the amusement park world. Do you think Mr. Green counts as a creature?"

Obviously it does.

If Mr. Green were here now, he would surely weep with joy, and might even immediately find a statue of an evil god to enshrine in his honor.

"However, there's a supplement below, saying the teleportation destination is uncertain." The fat man was looking at the next line at this moment.

[Note: This item is poorly made and will be destroyed after one round trip to the 'Paradise' world. The destination is random, and multiple users will likely be separated.]

Will multiple users cause data loss?

So if ten of them were to enter Paradise World together, they might be scattered into ten different locations.

Other worlds aside, the living conditions of the lower classes in Paradise World are worse than those of dogs. Their appearance would definitely be considered lower class in Paradise World, and they might be caught and put into dog cages by the upper classes as soon as they enter.

The fat man pointed out an even bigger problem: "What if the doctor, me, and Brother Chu went into the amusement park together, and then we got separated? If the doctor couldn't find me in the end, and only met up with Brother Chu and used the dog hole to return to the real world, would I be left there forever?"

As he spoke, the fat man became genuinely emotional, a hint of melancholy creeping into his expression as he looked at Gu Mian. "That's why we can't bring someone as weak as you when we teleport," Gu Mian said, ignoring the fat man's resentment.

Upon hearing this, the fat man's expression became even more melancholy, and he almost left in tears.

"And the fewer people the better, and the time needs to be planned well. Right now, the stage for the variety show that we set up for Louis hasn't been set up yet. If we go in too early, we'll probably have to stay in the park until the stage is set up and the variety show starts filming before we can see Louis. We'll probably have to wait in the park for a long time." Gu Mian pondered, "But if I go into the park by myself, I can stay as long as I want."

Before being kicked out of the instance, Xu Xingcheng gave him another special item—a mustache sticker shaped like the number eight.

【Disguise Masterpiece Eight-Character Mustache】

[How to use: Apply to face]

[Function: The mustache, a magical disguise. Just like in most TV dramas, as long as you stick on a fake mustache, everyone seems to collectively suffer from amnesia and can't recognize you.]

After giving him two special items, key number 108 and a mustache, Xu Xingcheng's corpse then struggled to rummage through his pants with his swollen hands, as if he had something else to give him.

Unfortunately, he seemed to have sneaked into this instance. Before he could even take out the third special item, the instance reacted in time, posting a notice that read "System vulnerability, capture of fugitives," cruelly separating Gu Mian and Xu Xingcheng.

Thinking about it, Gu Mian took out her mustache from her pocket and stuck it on her face to see how it would look.

He stuck his mustache on his eyebrows and looked up at the fat man.

The fat man was sitting to one side, feeling resentful, when he noticed Gu Mian looking at him, so he turned his head to look in Gu Mian's direction.

Upon seeing the person next to him, he almost jumped up from the sofa: "Who are you? I'm a doctor, and I was just sitting here a moment ago."

Gu Mian pulled out a mirror that had been crushed into three pieces from under the fat man's butt and looked at herself—this was a mirror that Xiao Hong had stolen from Xiao Qiao and used to admire herself. Not long after, the mirror was crushed into three pieces by the fat man's butt.

Gu Mian held up the mirror, now shattered into three pieces, and examined her face. Nothing had changed; it was still the same face. It was just that if she put on a beard, no one would recognize her. It was truly amazing.

He pulled his beard off his eyebrows again, and the fat man's expression gradually changed from wary to confused: "Doctor? Was that you just now? When did you learn to disguise yourself?"

“It’s a special item given to me by Xu Xingcheng,” Gu Mian said, putting his mustache back in his pocket. “He probably thought that my face would be loved by everyone in the Paradise World and I would be surrounded by people, so he prepared a special item that could be used for plastic surgery for me.”

It's quite thoughtful; with this, he can change his appearance and show off his skills in the amusement park world with a new identity.

I wonder when the variety shows at the amusement park will start.

He needs to enter the amusement park world before the variety show starts, since the key doesn't have a destination set, and he'll have to find the location of the variety show himself after entering the park.

"Where's the fortune teller?" Gu Mian began searching for the fortune teller. "Have her call Carnival Wharf again and ask when that variety show starts."

"On the first floor, help 007 divine the location of Renle Mountain." Coco glanced out the window; it was already late at night, and it was pitch black outside.

After leaving the Corpse Elimination game instance, Ren Leshan and the others escaped from prison. Gu Mian immediately searched the surrounding area, intending to catch them before they went too far.

He even summoned his "Mom" to help him search, but they searched until evening without finding Ren Leshan.

007 knew that it would be difficult to find the person again, and it was not safe to stay outside after nightfall, so he suggested that they go back to the apartment and have a fortune teller do some divination to see if they could find the location of Renle Mountain.

The two of them are still studying it on the first floor.

“Speaking of Renle Mountain,” the fat man scratched his head, “I still don’t understand how he eliminated those two strangled corpses. He couldn’t have conjured up a corpse out of thin air, could he? Brother Chu, you’re smarter, can you tell us how Renle Mountain did it?”

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses, remaining silent.

"That Little Sage Equal to Heaven has disappeared." In the room on the first floor, the fortune teller lay weakly on the sofa, with a bowl of water on the table in front of him.

007 sat to the side, silently staring at the bowl of water in front of him.

Just now, the fortune teller tried to use her professional skills to show the location of Renle Mountain to 007 using a water bowl, but her skills were not good enough, and it took her a while before two blurry figures appeared in the water bowl.

It was Ren Leshan and Lao Liu from Shengli Hardware, but the player named Qitian Xiaosheng was not with them.

They saw that the two of them seemed to be in a dark warehouse, and they couldn't tell where they were.

The scene in the bowl of water lasted only a few seconds before disappearing.

After the vision disappeared, the fortune teller was also exhausted. He leaned back on the sofa and said wearily, "That's all I can see. There's nothing else."

007 was still staring at the water bowl that had disappeared from the screen, recalling how a strangled corpse suddenly appeared at the Renle Mountain side at the last moment of the dungeon, completing the triple elimination.

She roughly understood how Renleshan had replenished the bodies.
