Global Collapse-Chapter 609 - 577: You Have Lost Another Three - s of Precious Spiritual Wealth!_1

"You need to wear the clown mask on your face to enter the Circus Dungeon. I assume you also wore a mask when you entered the Circus," Chu Changge adjusted his glasses. "As far as I know, there are many performers in the Circus who play clowns. I guess you might have to go through the instance wearing this mask."

If Chu Changge's speculation is correct, Gu Mian would face no risk of exposure.

No one could identify him with a mask on.

Even if Teacher Slaughter from the Slaughter Game got up close, it would be difficult to recognize that this was the guy who ruined his program.

"Of course, these are just my guesses," Chu Changge said. "Your mask may disappear after entering the instance, or you may be ordered to remove it by the NPCs. Anyway, we have to be fully prepared."

"Perhaps we can have Fatty buy some stockings that could be taken into the instance. If the mask disappears, I can pull the stockings over my head." Gu Mian remembered his encounter with a bank robber who wore stockings over his head back in the day.

Some items sold in the supermarket can be brought into the instance, but most of them are things like weapons and flashlights.

If you asked the cashier, "Do you have stockings that can be taken into the instance?" the answer would probably be "no."

The Fortune-teller was watching the two talking.

She had seen the announcement of Gu Mian destroying the Doctor's instance even before she became a Fortune-teller.

At this moment, she also understood what the two were worried about.

The fear was obviously that they would be recognized as soon as they entered the instance, and they would not be able to have any contact with the high-level NPCs Gu Mian wanted to meet.

After a moment of thought, the Fortune-teller spoke, "I heard from other players that there is a profession called 'Makeup Artist'. I heard it has the skill of Disguise, which can transform a person into another appearance. But I only heard about it, and I don't know where to find the Makeup Artist."

"There's no need to specifically look for a Makeup Artist." Gu Mian remembered that Chu Changge's school badge could temporarily change a person's face, but it could only last for a while. He said to Chu Changge, "You could lend me your school badge, and after the Disguise wears off, I will smear some dirt or something else on my face in the instance."

Chu Changge silently took off his school badge and handed it to Gu Mian. "You can also use this to disguise yourself as an Upper Class Person, which might make things easier…"

Just as Chu Changge handed his badge to Gu Mian, the living room door was suddenly pushed open.

They looked towards the door and saw Fatty standing there, sweating profusely and holding large and small shopping bags.

"It's a disaster!" Gu Mian heard him exclaim from the doorway.

"A disaster!" Fatty repeated, then began to describe what happened. "I was just walking towards the supermarket when I saw a mess ahead. It wasn't crowded with people, just a chaotic mess of trash scattered on the road, and a lot of plastic bags flying wildly in the sky!"

"When I got to the supermarket entrance, I saw a pile of colorful stuff dumped by the door. On closer inspection, it was milk powder cans, makeup boxes, torn clothes, and so on—all rubbish. The funniest part was a big iron cage lying next to the rubbish. It looked familiar… let me think…"

"Right! It looked exactly like the iron cages in the 'Guess the Words' instance. When I got there, a bunch of cashiers and sales assistants were sweeping up the trash at the entrance…"

It seemed the Recycling Station instance had collapsed, causing the trash inside to explode outward.

But it exploded all the way to the supermarket entrance?

It exploded a bit too far, Gu Mian mused, unable to figure it out.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Green immediately darted out, probably rushing to the supermarket to mourn its loss.

"It's ridiculous that garbage from the Low-Dimensional World can fly over here." Gu Mian glanced out the window and saw a plastic bag drifting in the sky. Looks like he made a great contribution to environmental protection, eh?

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses. "This means the Low-Dimensional World has started transmitting matter to the real world, and that's not a good thing."

Gu Mian was puzzled. "Aren't the game supermarkets and ticket booths on Earth now all from the Low-Dimensional World? Moreover, the food processing plants in the instances can even deliver goods to the real world. The Low-Dimensional World should have been able to send large amounts of goods to Earth a long time ago."

Chu Changge shook his head slightly. "Mr. Green also said that the ticket booths and supermarkets were established at Earth's behest. If Earth doesn't open dimensional gaps, these things can't reach Earth at all. It's difficult for the Low-Dimensional World to transmit matter here without Earth's consent. Before the global game started, only a few of us were transported out from the Low-Dimensional World.

"But now... trash from the Recycling Station has exploded into the real world without Earth's approval. This means the Low-Dimensional World has begun to encroach upon this world. Perhaps soon, it won't just be trash from the Low-Dimension arriving in the real world."

Color drained from Fatty's face. "I don't want a world like the Old World to just drop into reality! That would be the death of me!"

Fatty had a strong reaction. Gu Mian, on the other hand, wasn't particularly concerned. He didn't care what the world looked like; if Earth exploded, it would be exactly what he wished for.

After his initial shock, Fatty became puzzled. "Special items should also be things Earth allows to be brought out from the Low-Dimensional World, but Mr. Green…"

Earth probably wouldn't like NPCs from the Low-Dimension parachuting into the real world, right?

But Gu Mian managed to carry him out of the instance single-handedly.

"Could it be that the Doctor is a special channel connecting the Low and High Dimensions, which is why he could carry Mr. Green out so easily?" The more Fatty thought about it, the more convinced he became of his guess. "No wonder you've been targeted since you were young! It's not unreasonable for Earth to want to kill you. If I were Earth, I'd try to kill you every day too!"

Gu Mian: "..."

If he was such a special channel, why didn't the Low-Dimensional World treat him well?

As soon as they saw him, it was like villagers spotting bandits. They'd even put up signs saying, 'Gu Mian and dogs are not allowed.'

Recently, that Goose Factory was even researching something called a 'Gu Mian Detector.'

After analyzing for a while, Fatty realized he hadn't put down his shopping bags.

He quickly placed the two full shopping bags on the coffee table and began to pull out the items one by one. "I bought some food when I was getting hidden weapons for the Doctor. Gotta make sure the Doctor is well-fed... for the send-off..."

Something about that sentence felt off. Gu Mian remained silent.

Fatty took out a large bottle of chilled cola from a shopping bag. "It's gotten hot lately. The supermarket is quite considerate; the cola is chilled."

He continued to dig into the bags, pulling out strawberry yogurt, yellow peach jelly, hot pot seasoning, several rolls of meat, and cucumber-flavored potato chips…

Once he had taken almost everything out of the two bags, Gu Mian finally saw the hidden weapons Fatty had bought.

"A multifunctional tactical pen!" Fatty pulled out a pen that looked quite heavy. "This end writes, but turn it around, pull it open, and it's a small knife! The pen also has little gadgets like a lighter, a whistle, a screwdriver…"

"Dragon Scale Flying Needles! Throw them hard enough, and they might hit an enemy's vital points. The salesperson told me that if Nanny Rong had used these to prick Ziwei, My Fair Princess would have ended right there..."

Gu Mian: "..."

He took a few steps back and then slipped out of the room amidst Fatty's boisterous descriptions.

Meanwhile, Fatty was still admiring the hidden weapons in his hands, completely oblivious to Gu Mian's departure.
