Global Collapse

"Wait a minute, who is this 1118?" Teacher Killer looked at the big screen in front of him with deep confusion on his face.

Just as he raised his question, 1118 gained over a hundred more votes and jumped up a few places.

Because the higher the ranking, the greater the difference in votes, 1118 did not jump up too many places like in the previous times, but it did rise steadily in small increments.

Then, Teacher Killer discovered that another amazing person had appeared on the leaderboard, number 1117.

It repeats the plot of 1118, with an abnormal increase in votes, but the number is not as exaggerated as in 1118. Each time, it only increases by a few dozen votes, and the number of votes is not as frequent as in 1118.

If it weren't for the host, Teacher Shalu would have suspected that these two had some kind of pre-arranged script.

Fortunately, the contestants in the 1117 and 1118 range are from Huanyu Tiandu, and both of them have made it into the top fifty, which means that Teacher Shalu has gained two more achievements.

This is to his advantage.

Although the teacher had doubts, he did not speak up to expose this abnormal phenomenon.

But others aren't blind; some viewers and contestants have already noticed the unusual rankings of these two individuals.

"How come 1118 and 1117 suddenly have so many more votes, and they're still going up?"

"The number of votes for 1118 is very abnormal. It keeps increasing by a lot of votes every time. What's going on?"

The audience began to murmur amongst themselves, turning their heads to find the locations of ballot boxes 1118 and 1117.

Meanwhile, the lower classes were also closely watching the changes in the vote count.

"No! No! How did my votes suddenly drop so much? I was originally in the thirties, but I lost more than two hundred votes and I'm about to fall out of the top fifty!"

"My votes have decreased too!"

"Stop fighting! Our votes are decreasing!"

Soon everyone realized that their votes had decreased significantly.

Moreover, all the participants whose votes decreased were from the Joyful Heavenly Capital region, while the votes of participants from other regions on the leaderboard continued to increase normally.

Naturally, everyone believed that their decrease in votes was related to the increase in votes for 1118 and 1117.

The lower-class people then began searching the entire square for the two individuals.

All the ballot boxes are arranged in numerical order around the square; you can quickly find boxes 1117 and 1118 by following the numbers.

But when everyone followed the numbers, they found that the two ballot boxes were empty; not only were there no people there, but the boxes had also disappeared.

"They're over there!" At that moment, a contestant at the back of the crowd spotted Gu Mian.

He pointed in a direction, and everyone looked in that direction.

A man dressed in white with a long bag on his back reached into a ballot box and fished something out. He quickly pulled out a stack of ballots and turned to drop them into another ballot box behind him, which was ballot box number 1118.

"That's number 1118! He took his own ballot box and then stole our votes to put in his own!" one contestant realized.

They saw 1118 retrieve another stack of ballots from a ballot box and generously give half of them to the short green man next to him—the man was so short that they wouldn't have noticed him standing there if 1118 hadn't given the ballots to the short man.

The little dwarf hurriedly stuffed the ballots into ballot box number 1117 behind him. The box immediately emitted a series of "beep beep beep" sounds, beeping with each ballot. With so many ballots thrown in at once, it seemed to have become stuttering. "This thing is so smart! It can accurately count so many ballots thrown in at once. I definitely want to get one for my word-guessing game someday," Mr. Green thought, eyeing the ballot box. But for now, he could only dream about it; he didn't know when he'd be able to return to his game.

Thinking that Mr. Green was closely following Gu Mian's steps, he said, "After Gu Mian saves Louis, she should send me to the NPC gathering area of ​​this world. Once we get there, I'll figure out how to get back to my own world. There are quite a few NPCs in Crazy Game City. I can ask them if they can help me."

Mr. Green was quite excited at the thought. After wandering outside for so long, he finally had the chance to go home.

He was so excited that he didn't notice a group of lower-class people staring angrily at him from a distance.

"They're in cahoots!" someone shouted angrily. "They stole our tickets together!"

"Go! Get the tickets back!"

"Kill them!"

The contestants, who were locked in a life-or-death struggle just a minute ago, suddenly found themselves united against a common enemy.

It can be said that Gu Mian and Mr. Green have made a great contribution to the peaceful development of the lower classes.

At that moment, Mr. Green also heard a roar coming from afar. He turned his head and saw a group of people with red eyes rushing angrily toward him. Mr. Green was so frightened that he trembled and his face turned the same color as his clothes.

"They've found us! They've found us!" Mr. Green said, his face turning green as he tugged at Gu Mian's clothes.

At this moment, Gu Mian was in front of the ballot box for 1095. He had just taken out a large stack of ballots from the box. There were so many ballots, hundreds of them, that 1095's ranking dropped fifty places from first place.

Gu Mian kindly gave him a small portion of the 1095 digits and put it back in the top 50, where it hovered around the 20th or 30th place.

He then stuffed the remaining half into his box, and his ranking jumped up significantly, becoming the new number one, far ahead of the competition.

"Now I can advance safely." Gu Mian looked at her ranking on the big screen with satisfaction.

He then heard Mr. Green's trembling voice behind him.

Gu Mian looked up and saw a group of lean people rushing towards them with red eyes.

The expressions on their faces were terrifying, as if they were about to rush over and devour him alive.

At the same time, Killer Teacher was also rushing towards them.

He was furious, his eyes practically spitting fire.

Of course, he wasn't there out of kindness to uphold justice for the lower class who lost their votes; it was just that Gu Mian and Mr. Green's actions had caused the rankings of the contestants in Joyful Heaven to plummet, and if this continued, it would affect Teacher Killer's performance.

“Okay, it doesn’t seem completely safe yet.” Gu Mian pulled up the ballot box, which was still beeping, with one hand and grabbed Mr. Green with the other, and ran away.

Next up is the "Operation to Defend the Ballot Box".

"Stop!" The murderous teacher was even angrier than the contestants. He swung his legs and charged forward without hesitation, determined to grab Gu Mian and Mr. Green, the two thieves.

At this moment, 007 and Chu Changge were not far away.

007 silently watched the murderous teacher frantically trying to catch up with Gu Mian, and finally couldn't help but speak up: "I told you this would cause trouble." (End of this chapter)
