Global Collapse

Chapter 790 The van's rear tire exploded in a rage, and the crazy building manager frantically stepped on the gas.
"After these mechanical dogs load the food into the viewing device, they will enter Spider's Foot Street No. 1 through a hidden side door together with the viewing device. There are no guards at any of the entrances and exits, so you can go in without worry." The crazy building manager had gathered a lot of information to ensure that Gu Mian could enter Spider's Foot Street No. 1 smoothly.

He pointed to the high wall in front of him and said, "Of course, you can also climb over the wall or use other methods to get in, since there are no guards to stop you. However, going in with these mechanical dogs is the easiest way."

Gu Mian wasn't just sitting around doing nothing; if she could get in through the main gate, there was no need to climb over the wall.

The half-bucket of leftover food, which was meant to be placed in display case 1058, was in the trunk of the van.

Gu Mian got out of the car and opened the trunk. What she saw was a very clean bucket, and the leftover food inside was also very clean. It was mostly rice and fried food, with not much juice.

The leftovers were prepared by a shop on the food street of the game city. Although Gu Mian said he wanted leftovers, the shop manager didn't dare to actually give him half a bucket of swill.

So he chose the cleanest bucket in the store and put in some decent-looking food that wouldn't easily get dirty, afraid that Gu Mian might smash up his store if she was dissatisfied.

At this moment, Gu Mian had already found the viewing device No. 1058 with the bucket.

The display cases were numbered sequentially, so he easily found his target.

After pouring the leftover food into the metal box, the delivery task panel showed that he had completed another task, bringing his total to eighteen delivery tasks.

Just as Gu Mian was looking at the delivery task panel, she suddenly heard the sound of a car starting up behind her.

He looked back and saw that the crazy building manager had already driven away, as if he was afraid that if he was a step too slow, he would be entangled with him again.

The crazy building manager in the car must be very happy, happy that he got rid of Gu Mian, this troublesome person.

But the good times didn't last long.

Gu Mian saw the left rear wheel of the wrecked car wobble as it drove by, then explode with a "bang," drawing an arc in the air before landing solidly on the ground, bouncing twice, and rolling away, parting ways with the van.

Gu Mian's initial worries came true, but thankfully he has now gotten off the bus.

The fleeing left rear wheel did not stop the madman's pace. He probably thought it was Gu Mian, that plague god, who was causing trouble. He drove the van with only three wheels left and fled even faster. Soon the van disappeared from sight.

As expected of a car produced by Crazy Game City, it can run on three wheels.

Gu Mian turned her gaze back to the viewing device in front of her.

Before even entering the lower-class residential area, and with the live-streaming camera on the viewer not yet turned on, Gu Mian wasn't worried about being filmed.

At this moment, the viewing device at the very front of the group began to move, heading in one direction.

The mechanical dogs followed.

Gu Mian followed at the very back, moving forward with the group of ornamental devices and dogs.

The cold machines showed no curiosity about Gu Mian behind them and continued to perform their tasks as usual.

Soon the observation equipment arrived at an iron gate. It was an automatic gate that opened automatically after detecting an object outside.

He noticed a small dog hole under the door, but wondered what it was for.

Gu Mian quickly looked away and followed the puppy through the iron gate.

But behind the iron gate was not directly the lower-class residential area, but a long alley with high walls on both sides, and there was not a single person in the alley.

After walking for about five more minutes, Gu Mian saw a tall fence gate appear in front of her.

Through the fence gate, he could see a figure moving behind it, which must be Spider Legs Street 1.

Gu Mian cautiously kept a certain distance from the mechanical team in front, trying to avoid being spotted by the figure moving behind the door. However, he was clearly overthinking it.

The gate automatically opened after detecting an object outside, allowing the observer and the mechanical dog to enter.

The viewing device immediately caught the attention of the lower-class people. Gu Mian thought that although the living conditions of the lower-class people here were slightly better, it was probably still difficult for them to get enough to eat. The food in the viewing device was also part of their food source.

After entering the gate, the group of viewers scattered and left in different directions.

Chu Changge had told Gu Mian that each viewer has its own fixed working area to facilitate a better live streaming experience.

If all the viewing devices are clustered together, it will be too crowded, and you won't be able to capture much of the scene of the lower classes fighting over food; you'll only be able to capture a bunch of other viewing devices.

The mechanical dogs also seemed to have their own assigned areas, and they scattered after entering the gate.

The lower-class people who had been loitering near the door also followed the viewing device and left, and soon there was no one behind the door.

Gu Mian took the opportunity to slip through the door and successfully entered Spider Leg Street No. 1.

After entering, he looked around. It was similar to the Mantis Tail Street where he had landed, but it was cleaner and tidier. There were no bedding belonging to the lower classes on the street, so it seemed that the lower classes living here all had their own places to live and did not have to sleep on the streets.

Although the accommodations here aren't very good either.

Gu Mian looked at the houses on this street.

Most of them are multi-story buildings, all very old, some with broken windows and only a piece of cardboard to cover the drafty parts, but at least they are not like the dilapidated buildings on Mantis Tail Street.

Each house here is numbered. The house closest to Gu Mian has the number "165" painted in blue on its exterior wall.

"It seems this is house number 165." Gu Mian looked at the number sprayed in blue paint.

When the crazy building manager prepared the lower-class identity card for Gu Mian, he also thoughtfully prepared accommodation for him, probably because he was afraid that Gu Mian would come back and give him a bad review.

"The first phase of the trial and crown variety show doesn't start until tomorrow. The crazy building manager told me I can stay in room 98 tonight. Let's find a place to stay first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Mian began to take action.

The houses on Spider's Foot Street are numbered sequentially; you can find house number 98 by simply walking in the direction where the numbers decrease.

Since there was only one street, Gu Mian quickly found her way and walked in that direction.

Along the way, he passed many observers and lower-class people, and also encountered several mechanical dogs that surveyed happiness levels.

The lower classes here are not very barbaric; there is no robbery or coercion, and most of them are quite clever, knowing how to act cute and pitiful in front of the viewers to please the upper classes behind the camera.

If you successfully please the upper class, they will throw out a piece of food from the viewing vessel. Although it doesn't look very appetizing, it can at least fill your stomach.

Their eating manners weren't too unsightly, so the "mukbang" didn't become too messy.

Meanwhile, the happiness survey robots constantly pester the lower-class people who are diligently performing in front of the camera, asking them, "Are you happy?"

Most lower-class people ignore these robotic dogs, but a small minority with a performative streak will feign happiness in front of the camera, telling the upper-class people behind the scenes, "I'm very happy."

However, not a single mechanical dog came to ask Gu Mian if she was happy.

Perhaps the dogs' keen senses made them realize that Gu Mian didn't belong here, even though they weren't actually dogs.

The cooing is here! Auntie left! The cooing is here again! The cooing peeks out!
