Global Collapse

Chapter 841 Cretaceous Man-Eating Flower
Aside from the rudimentary wish-granting system that the evil god had installed on her, the leaf brooch was the only thing Gu Mian had brought out from the underground cave.

Gu Mian always felt that this brooch should have a proper purpose, but unfortunately it couldn't open the panel to read the instruction manual like its brother.

Gu Mian held up the two leaf-shaped needles in front of her. They were identical, except that one of them was a special item that could conceal one's name, while the other seemed to have no effect.

"Doctor, look at these two brooches. You've been looking at them for days, and you still haven't found any clues?" The fat man slammed a stack of books on the table in front of Gu Mian.

These are all "treasures" he found at the supermarket.

After discovering that Gu Mian had started researching leaf brooches, Fatty went to the supermarket's book section and bought many books about plants, hoping that these books could help Gu Mian.

"Perhaps figuring out what kind of plant these two leaves belong to will help us," the fat man said when he bought the book.

Gu Mian didn't think so.

But the fat man was very enthusiastic. He not only read the book himself, but also called on the other people in the apartment to come and find plants with leaves and brooches.

These past few days, the people in the apartment have been flipping through books the moment they open their eyes; they've practically all become botanists.

Even Xiao Qiao, who isn't very bright, has been reading a book these past few days. Gu Mian was examining the two leaf brooches in her hand when she saw Xiao Qiao walk past her with a book in her hand.

The book's cover was covered in a profusion of flowers, red and green, with almost 60% of the cover being filled with colorful blossoms, and in the center of these flowers, a young couple was embracing intimately.

The couple's heads were adorned with pink book titles—"The Princess's Love Manual: The Handsome Knight Falls in Love with Me."

The book looks brand new; it was obviously bought recently.

Gu Mian glanced at the fat man silently, then pointed to the book in Xiao Qiao's hand: "Is this also the botany masterpiece you bought?"

The fat man scratched his head awkwardly: "I didn't pay attention to the titles when I bought the books. I just saw plants on the covers and put them all in my shopping cart."

Xiao Qiao was clearly deeply influenced by this book. At this moment, she pulled her head out of the book and looked at Gu Mian with a determined gaze: "I want to be a knight!"

Gu Mian looked up at the sky outside the window speechlessly, not wanting to pay attention to the person in front of her who was so eager to become a knight.

The fat man quickly tried to fool Xiao Qiao: "Miss Xiao Qiao, have you forgotten? We've already been knights in the dungeon, the one where we have to rescue the princess in the junkyard dungeon. We entered with dungeon entry tickets."

Xiao Qiao thought back and remembered that instance, but she was clearly still not satisfied and seemed to want to go in again.

She tossed the book aside and stormed out the door with a determined expression.

The fat man, who had fooled the man away, breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Xiao Qiao's departing figure.

But before he could even catch his breath, Xiao Qiao rushed back like a tornado, holding something in her hand, which looked like a cell phone.

But Gu Mian knew that she possessed a special item [Big Data Search].

This special item is very useful; it has helped them find many useful things before. At this moment, Xiao Qiao is gripping the big data search tool tightly with both hands, her eyes fixed on its screen.

She stared at the screen for a while, then looked up at Gu Mian, then looked down at the screen again. She looked up and down several times before finally concluding: "You are the entry ticket for the dungeon."

These words were spoken to Gu Mian.

What the heck? What am I? Gu Mian also looked up at the big data search in her hand.

Xiao Qiao had already entered what she wanted to search for into the machine: "Dungeon Entry Ticket".

An arrow appeared on the screen, pointing the way to the dungeon entry ticket, with the arrow pointing directly at him.

Gu Mian turned the big data search tool to the side, but the arrow on the screen remained pointed directly at her.

Oh no, it seems he really has become the entry ticket for the dungeon.

"I know, Doctor!" the fat man suddenly exclaimed. "The dungeon entry ticket isn't you, it's this leaf brooch left to you by the evil god."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mian moved the seemingly useless leaf brooch in her hand further away, and sure enough, the arrow on the big data search bar moved along with the leaf brooch, pointing directly at its direction.

It turned out to be the case.

The new brooch that the evil god gave himself was a ticket to a dungeon.

However, this isn't the classic version; it's more like an entry ticket for a specific dungeon. Similar to 'The Doctor's Resentment' for entering a killing game dungeon, 'The Clown Mask' for entering a Circus dungeon, or a game machine for entering a match-3 dungeon.

You can only enter the instance if a certain condition is met.

The clown mask is triggered by wearing it on your face, while the game console is triggered by playing a match-3 game with it.

What are the trigger conditions for this leaf brooch?

If she knew which instance it was an entry ticket to, the triggering conditions would be easier to guess. Unfortunately, Gu Mian was completely clueless and had no idea about the instance it triggered or the conditions.

"But how do we get into the dungeon through it?" Fatty was also thinking about the trigger conditions for the leaf brooch. "I think we might need to figure out what kind of plant the leaf is from."

The fat man is really persistent in studying plant leaves.

Gu Mian felt that since this thing was designed by the evil god, the way it was triggered must also be full of the evil god's unique style.

Just like the trigger condition for [Key No. 108 from another world] is to recite a string of embarrassing incantations.

Perhaps the trigger for this leaf brooch is also through chanting a spell?

Thinking of this, Gu Mian spoke to the leaf brooch in her hand: "Key containing green power, please grant me true power."

The fat man next to him scratched his head and said, "Why does this sound so familiar?"

Under Gu Mian's expectant gaze, the leaf brooch remained motionless and unresponsive.

Gu Mian didn't really expect the leaf brooch to trigger anything, since the scope of "chanting incantation" is too broad, and it's very difficult to guess the real incantation.

So, over the next few days, the residents of the apartment changed their research topic from "investigating which plant the leaf brooch belongs to" to "guessing what the triggering conditions for the leaf brooch are."

Gu Mian had a very exciting few days. Fatty firmly believed that the trigger condition for the Leaf Brooch was to bring the same plant in front of it. In just a few days, Fatty bought countless potted plants from the supermarket and dug up a lot of plants from the green belt outside.

But nothing happened.

While searching for traces of Renle Mountain, 007 also took the time to help Gu Mian with some advice: "The leaf brooch you just got is obviously a pair with the previous one. Looking at the description of the previous leaf brooch, there is a line that says 'A leaf can block out Mount Tai.' Perhaps you should put both leaf brooches on your face to cover your eyes."

So before going to sleep, Gu Mian placed the two leaf brooches over her eyes to cover them, and left them there all night, but nothing happened.

The fortune teller was even more straightforward. She took out her divination tools and offered to cast a divination for Gu Mian, helping him figure out how to trigger the leaf brooch.

Unfortunately, the fortune teller not only failed to predict what he wanted to know, but also predicted Gu Mian's death.

"You're going to die!" the fortune teller exclaimed, looking at the result of his divination. "You'll be laid to rest soon! This indicates that you won't be buried for long!"

"Great," Gu Mian said peacefully as she closed her eyes amidst the fortune teller's shouts, finally able to leave this noisy world.

The apartment was in chaos for several days until one day Gu Mian was woken up from her sleep by the fat man.

"Doctor, doctor, wake up!"

Gu Mian opened her eyes in despair. Last night, Coco had come up with a terrible idea: to have Gu Mian climb a tree with a leaf brooch and stay there overnight, pretending that she was also a leaf.

Although the idea was abstract, Gu Mian still gave it a try.

The result was obvious: he did not trigger the instance.

Not only did I not trigger the instance, but I also got pooped on by birds in the tree.

He came back in the morning, cleaned the poop off his hair, and then went straight to bed and fell asleep. It's almost noon now.

"What's wrong? Are you going to show me the leaves of some Cretaceous man-eating daphnia again?"

A few nights ago, Fatty woke him up like this in the middle of the night, brought over a pot of flowers, and said it was some kind of Jurassic Despair Man-Eating Grass, which looked very similar to the Leaf Brooch. He asked Gu Mian to take out the Leaf Brooch and compare them.

Gu Mian took a deep breath. If the fat man had woken him up for this, he would definitely give the fat man a good kick in the butt.

"No, no," the fat man quickly waved his hands in denial. "Doctor, I suddenly saw the rabbit you conjured up while I was cooking, and it made me realize that you inherited the wish-granting system from the evil god statue."
"Maybe the leaf brooch doesn't have a trigger method. Perhaps whatever you wish for it to trigger, that's what it will trigger."
