Chapter 824: Chapter 788: Hearing That Gu Mian Is Leaving, Everyone Cries Sadly
A dilapidated van is parked outside Crazy Game City.
The van is a colorful mess, painted with bright colors, and on its side is a huge advertisement painted in vibrant paint—Crazy Game City welcomes you.
This is probably the vehicle the Game City uses for business, but it clearly has been through quite an accident.
The doors are dented, the front is peeling, and a taillight is broken.
This broken-down vehicle forms a stark contrast with the Game City behind it, exuding an aura of commerce and money.
Gu Mian looked at the broken vehicle in front of him, then at the Crazy Tower Chief beside him.
He must have put in quite a bit of effort to find such a beat-up car.
The Crazy Tower Chief pretended not to notice the gaze Gu Mian projected on his face, he coughed softly twice to cover his embarrassment: "The half-barrel of rice you needed is already prepared for you and placed in the trunk of the car..."
As he spoke, he became a bit embarrassed, turned his face away, not facing Gu Mian directly: "Don’t look at me like that, everyone knows about your luck, how can I bear to bring out a new car to drive you."
Even a brand new car, after carrying Gu Mian, would probably have to go to the junkyard.
The three Spirit Cars in the driving exam center are the best examples, I heard they were all thrown into the junkyard instance.
The losses Gu Mian brought to the Game City these days weren’t small, the Crazy Tower Chief really couldn’t bear to lose another car, so he had to retune this car that hadn’t been used in a long time from the garage.
Time was tight, Gu Mian didn’t kick up a fuss demanding the Crazy Tower Chief for another car.
He’s just very skeptical whether this car could reach its destination safely.
Hopefully, the wheels won’t fall off before reaching the place.
At this moment, the body’s car suddenly shook a bit, and the left rear wheel squeaked as it twisted.
The Crazy Tower Chief’s eyes widened, he hurriedly spoke stiltedly to cover it up: "Haha although this car looks broken from the outside, it is actually the sturdiest among all cars, I specially retuned this most robust one from the garage for you, the jinx. Alright, let’s get in the car now!"
Gu Mian’s train of thought was interrupted, and the wheels of the car were saved by the bell.
The Crazy Tower Chief enthusiastically stuffed Gu Mian into the back seat of the car and personally fastened his seatbelt.
However, the seatbelt had previously snapped and was tied back together with a dead knot at the fracture point.
Gu Mian looked silently down at the dead knot on his chest: "Is this the sturdiest car among all your cars?"
The Crazy Tower Chief pretended not to hear, quickly got into the front door, sat in the driver’s seat, and stepped on the accelerator.
The van struggled to make a starting sound, carrying the two gradually away.
They hadn’t driven too far, when Gu Mian heard a series of noises from the back of the car, he looked back strangely and saw the gate of Crazy Game City not far behind.
This car looks shaky from the outside, and the inside condition is precarious as well.
Even though the Crazy Tower Chief stepped on the accelerator to the end, the car’s speed was still not impressive.
At this time, the car hadn’t gone very far, Gu Mian could still clearly see the scene at the entrance of Game City.
He saw a group of people gathering there at some point, Gu Mian had wandered in the Game City for a day, he recognized that group were the managers of various shops in the Game City.
They were setting off firecrackers in celebration, some were crying with joy, embracing each other tightly in pairs.
The Crazy Tower Chief coughed awkwardly a few times, explaining: "They are expressing their reluctance for you, look, someone is crying in sadness."
Gu Mian: "..."
He decided that when he next visits Paradise World, he must stay a few more days in the Game City to give everyone a surprise.
Spider Leg First Street is not far from the Game City, and the van surprisingly made it to the destination without incident.
When he saw Spider Leg First Street from a distance, the Crazy Tower Chief at the driver’s seat visibly let out a breath of relief.
He stepped on the brake, pointed to a street ahead: "See those buildings up front? That’s Spider Leg First Street."
Gu Mian followed his finger, seeing the dilapidated buildings standing ahead from afar, but a high wall blocked Gu Mian’s direct path.
"Spider Leg First Street is a closed lower-class residential area, you’ll have to follow them to get in." The Crazy Tower Chief turned his gaze to one side again.
Gu Mian followed his gaze and saw a long line of spectators made up of metal boxes and pallets, lined up neatly by the wall.
Chu Changge had shown Gu Mian pictures of spectators, and Gu Mian recognized them immediately.
At this moment, there was a long line of mechanical dogs carrying buckets or basins heading to the row of spectators, the buckets and basins filled with leftovers, clearly these mechanical dogs were replenishing resources for the spectators.
The Crazy Tower Chief explained: "The Upper Class People disdain to do this kind of work, so these Happiness Survey Mechanical Dogs are handling it, once they replenish enough food into the spectators, they’ll follow the spectators into the lower-class residential area to conduct happiness surveys."
Going to the lower-class area to conduct happiness surveys?
The first mechanical dog Gu Mian encountered was Hei, at NPC Street.
At that time, the fortune-telling old man told Gu Mian that Hei was originally a Happiness Survey Mechanical Dog.
He thought Hei was conducting happiness surveys in the upper-class area, but he didn’t expect he worked in the lower-class area.
Gu Mian looked at the group of mechanical dogs replenishing food for the spectators, they looked exactly like Hei, with big cameras on top of their mechanical bodies acting as their heads.
They carried the buckets or basins on their backs, using a forelimb to maintain balance, the remaining three mechanical legs used for walking.
No wonder Bird Bandit Express could repurpose Hei as a package sorting clerk, turns out he used to do this kind of hauling work as well.
However, these mechanical dogs evidently weren’t as empathetic as Hei, they were pure machines, devoid of extra emotions, unlike Hei who had feelings of fear and happiness.
Did the lady boss of the Bird Bandit Express add an emotion module to Hei when modifying him?
"Do the Upper Class People still care about the happiness of the lower-class?" Gu Mian inquired to the Crazy Tower Chief in the driver’s seat.
These mechanical dogs couldn’t have been created by the lower-class for their own happiness surveys, in Paradise World, only the Upper Class People had the ability to make such a large batch of mechanical dogs.
But what Upper Class Person would have the time to do this kind of thing?
The Crazy Tower Chief said he was not clear either: "I don’t know any of those Upper Class People, besides, when I came to this world, the lower-class residential areas already had these Happiness Survey Mechanical Dogs, you came to this world to rescue the traitor Louis, didn’t you? You can ask him, he might know."
Hearing the Crazy Tower Chief mention Louis.
Gu Mian figured this well-fed and bored Upper Class person might just be him, but Louis was an anomaly in Paradise.
But it might not be certain.
What if there are other Upper Class anomalies in this world.
