Global Collapse

Chapter 842 Ghost Expo

Gu Mian sat up in bed, thinking that the fat man's words made sense.

Although his wish is not so easy to come true, we should at least try to find out.

Thinking of this, Gu Mian began chanting a spell to the leaf brooch: "Your trigger method is that it will be triggered whenever someone mentions 'the dungeon door is open'."

"Isn't the 'opening the dungeon' trigger method too simple?" The fat man felt that the trigger method was too easy and could easily be "accidentally triggered."

The fat man's idea was correct; the trigger had already been accidentally activated when he earnestly offered his suggestion.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge panel appeared in front of the two of them.

Congratulations on triggering the special instance 'Instance Name with Five Characters'!

"What is that?" The fat man's mouth gaped open.

Gu Mian silently turned to look at him: "You have already triggered the trigger condition."

The fat man then realized that he had uttered the incantation set by Gu Mian, and that he was the one who had "accidentally triggered" it. He lowered his head in shame.

But what on earth is this dungeon? Gu Mian looked at the name "Dungeon Name (Five Characters)" and was completely baffled.

This is like a dungeon that was served before it was even finished. Could it be a broken, unfinished dungeon created by the evil god himself?
He continued to look down.

[Number of participants: No one is likely to come, so I'm just writing a couple of lines to pretend I'm working seriously]

Gu Mian: "..."

His forehead twitched twice. Although it was supposed to be a special instance, the description was a bit too unusual.

[Instance Quest: Planting Vegetables]

This is such a down-to-earth dungeon quest. Gu Mian has never seen such a down-to-earth quest in a horror dungeon before.

[Dungeon Rewards: What kind of rewards do you need for a dungeon that nobody comes to? I'll just write something random.]

Okay, so this is a dungeon with no name, no number of participants, no rewards, and the dungeon quests are so abstract, and the copywriters are so casual.

"I've never seen anything like this before." The fat guy next to him was also breathless from the dungeon description. After reading an entire page, the only information he got was "growing vegetables."

The fat man felt like his brain was a little stuck.

Meanwhile, everyone else in the apartment was also confused. When the entry conditions for some dungeons are triggered, they will bring all players in the vicinity into the dungeon together. This leaf brooch is an example of this.

007 was watching the fortune teller's hasty retreat from the apartment entrance.

She was just about to go out to continue searching for Renle Mountain when she heard hurried footsteps before she even reached the back of the apartment door. Turning around, she saw the fortune teller rushing out the door.

As he rushed out, he kept muttering something like, "A terrible omen, a terrible omen, I'm in danger."

As 007 watched the fortune teller rush past her and out the door, before she could even figure out what had happened, a huge game panel suddenly popped up in front of her.

"The dungeon name has five characters?" She looked at the first line of text on the panel with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused.

Coco was also confused about the situation.

When the panel popped up, she was calculating the remaining game coins in her hand, thinking about when to go into the dungeon with Gu Mian again. Unexpectedly, just as she was thinking, the panel for the special dungeon being triggered popped up.

Her first thought was that Gu Mian had finally triggered the conditions for the leaf brooch.

But when she saw the dungeon's name and the bizarre content below, Coco frowned in confusion: "What kind of dungeon is this?"

Darkness quickly swept in from all directions, enveloping the people in the apartment.

A few seconds later, the darkness slowly receded, and when the light returned, the surrounding environment had changed.

They appeared in a circular hall with a bright red carpet under their feet and a tall display shelf not far in front of them.

There were staircases on both sides of the display shelves leading to the second floor, and the hall they were in now was filled with many plastic models. Plastic models of ghosts.

This place is like a wax museum, but not for people, it's a wax museum for ghosts.

Each wax figure looks different, and next to each wax figure stands a sign, like an information board, with a brief introduction to each wax figure and even a rating.

Gu Mian looked at the ghost model closest to her and the information board next to it. This ghost was ugly and had a strange shape. It had three arms, each of which grew from its back.

These three hands, long and menacing, waved around the ghost; one hand was clenched into a fist, another had its fingers spread out, and the last one…

"Doctor, where are we?" The fat man's voice suddenly came from behind, and then he seemed to have noticed the three-armed ghost next to him.

The fat man first let out a frightened "Ah!", but then realized it was a fake model and began to examine it curiously. Soon he also noticed the different shapes of the three ghostly hands: "Why is this ghost making a peace sign?"

“Those are scissors,” came Coco’s voice from the other side.

Gu Mian looked back and saw that, besides herself, four other people had been pulled into this special instance.

One of them was naturally Fatty, and the other three were Coco, 007, and... Xie Bi'an.

Unexpectedly, he also came to this instance.

Chu Changge and Xiao Qiao were not in the apartment when the Leaf Brooch was triggered, so they did not enter this instance.

"Gu Mian, did you figure out how to trigger the Leaf Brooch?" 007 asked.

“Yes.” Gu Mian nodded. “I just tried it out, and I didn’t expect it to actually trigger.”

The fat man scratched his head sheepishly: "It's all my fault, I triggered it."

"I never expected that after the Leaf Brooch was triggered, we would be pulled into such a dungeon." 007 was also looking at the ghost model closest to them. "No name, no description, everything looks like such a random dungeon."

"I have a question," the fat man said, raising his hand. "This instance doesn't have any specific quests, so how do we get out?"

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Gu Mian, as if he had already pinned his hopes of leaving this place on Gu Mian.

"That's great," Gu Mian thought to herself. "The fat guy is getting wilder and wilder. He's already thinking about how to destroy it and leave as soon as he enters the dungeon."

"I think we should figure out what kind of instance this is first," Coco said, glancing at the information plaque on the three-armed ghost model next to her.

Rock-Paper-Scissors Ghost

[Description: A ghost that loves rock-paper-scissors. It has three hands, each representing one of the three games: rock, paper, scissors. Once mature, it will play ten rounds of rock-paper-scissors with its breeder. If the breeder wins all ten rounds, the rock-paper-scissors ghost will voluntarily go on stage for exhibition. If the breeder loses, the rock-paper-scissors ghost will begin to attack.]

[Easy to cultivate, requires only timely watering]

[High level of danger: If the breeder loses the rock-paper-scissors game, the Rock-Paper-Scissors Demon will immediately attack, and the breeder usually has difficulty escaping.]

[The exhibition received a score of 89 points. The requirement for the exhibitor to participate in the exhibition was to win ten consecutive rounds of rock-paper-scissors, making the exhibition extremely difficult, hence the high score.]

Breeders... Exhibition...

Gu Mian felt as if she had entered some strange museum. However, while proper museums display valuable artifacts, this museum contained ghosts who liked to play games with people.

And there's even a rating system below? Gu Mian immediately thought of her [Mom Summoner].

The Mom Summoner is a special item that can be upgraded. The upgrade condition is that you can upgrade it by obtaining a "perfect score report card". Can you get a perfect score report card in this dungeon? It doesn't look like an exam-type dungeon.

After reading the introduction of the Three-Handed Ghost, the fat man asked in confusion, "I don't quite understand. What does 'nurturer' mean? And what's with this exhibition score? I originally thought this was a replica of a wax museum, but after reading this information, it doesn't seem like it."

“It’s not a wax museum,” Coco, who was standing at the very back, suddenly spoke up.

Gu Mian looked at her and saw Coco turn her head to look in the direction behind everyone. She pointed to a banner above and said, "Look."

Gu Mian looked at the banner and saw that it read "Ghost Expo".

Ha, a mere midnight is nothing to me.
