Chapter 827: Chapter 791: Killing the Deputy Enemy
Although he was immediately met with some face-to-face sarcasm, Mr. Green’s expression did not show any displeasure. Instead, he displayed an overwhelmingly joyful expression when Gu Mian began to retort.
"It’s really you!" Mr. Green lit up with excitement, even straightening his previously hunched back.
His face was radiating the joy of seeing a fellow countryman, as he grabbed Gu Mian’s sleeve, "This is great, you can definitely rescue me from this damned place."
Gu Mian looked down at Mr. Green, who had lost a noticeable amount of weight in just a few days.
No wonder there was no news from Mr. Green these past days; it turns out he was born in a lower-class residential area. Moreover, it was in the closed-off Spider Leg No. 1 Street, making it impossible to leave freely.
He’s really had bad luck.
Seeing the person in front of him remain silent, Mr. Green anxiously shook Gu Mian’s coat, "You... you can definitely get me out of this damned lower-class area, I know this place can’t hold you back;
"I researched this world before I entered. Just take me to those NPC gatherings, be it Crazy Game City or the NPC Street, or even some scattered NPC gathering spots, I just don’t want to stay here any longer!"
As he spoke, it seemed he recalled his difficult experiences from the past few days, and he was about to burst into tears at any moment.
However, Gu Mian had managed to sneak in here with great difficulty, and the talent show selection was starting tomorrow. Clearly, he couldn’t just play the hero and run off with Mr. Green now.
With this in mind, Gu Mian flashed a confident smile to the short fellow clutching his collar, "Stick with me and you’ll definitely get out of this place, but not right now."
"Really?" Mr. Green’s eyes lit up with hope, greatly moved, "Okay, okay, as long as you can take me out, waiting a bit longer isn’t a problem."
With that, he used Gu Mian’s sleeve to wipe away his tears, sniffing as he said, "I knew you were a good person."
It seemed he had already forgotten that Gu Mian was his enemy.
Just as Mr. Green was clutching Gu Mian’s sleeve and sniffling, he suddenly heard a "whimpering" sound coming from Gu Mian’s guitar case.
Upon closer inspection, there was a strange bulge at the bottom of the guitar case, as if it contained more than just a "guitar."
Mr. Green was shocked, "Is there a ghost in your guitar case?"
Next, he saw Gu Mian swing a fist towards the bulging part of the guitar case, abruptly stopping the crying sounds.
Mr. Green looked at the guitar case with suspicion but didn’t dare to ask more, just in case Gu Mian got impatient and gave him a punch as well.
"Speaking of which, the Doggie Doll seems to still be in Gu Mian’s guitar case." In the Crazy Game City library, 007 and Chu Changge were still watching Gu Mian and Mr. Green on the TV screen.
At this moment, another lower-class person had come in front of the camera to perform, taking up most of the screen, while Gu Mian and Mr. Green had faded into the background.
But both Chu Changge and 007’s attention was on Gu Mian, and they naturally noticed Mr. Green staring at the guitar case behind Gu Mian with a bewildered expression.
They couldn’t hear the conversation on the screen, but seeing Mr. Green’s shocked expression towards the guitar case, they could guess what was happening.
glanced at the viewing count at the bottom right corner, which had increased again compared to when Mr. Green was performing earlier.
But soon, Gu Mian and Mr. Green’s figures disappeared from the screen as the two left.
And 007 noticed that the viewing count began to decrease gradually after Gu Mian left the scene.
How strange.
Gu Mian clearly hadn’t shown his true face, but as soon as he appeared, the Upper Class People’s gaze would naturally be drawn to him.
speculated that there might be some peculiar telepathic connection between Gu Mian and the Upper Class People, such that no matter how Gu Mian changed his appearance, the Upper Class People would involuntarily "fall for him."
"Let’s stay here tonight," Gu Mian had already brought Mr. Green back to his small, humble home number 98.
The house wasn’t big, but it was enough to fit two people.
Mr. Green sat on the dirt bed, rubbing his eyes, "Do you know what I’ve been through in these days? As soon as I was transported, I found myself in this damned lower-class residential area. I barely ate anything in these few days and hardly slept..."
Without an identity here, Mr. Green naturally didn’t have a house of his own.
Even if he managed to find an empty house, he risked being driven out by the returning owner in the middle of the night.
This time, however, the exhausted Mr. Green could finally close his eyes and rest in peace.
Yet, he wasn’t completely at ease.
He sat on the bed leaning against it, dozing off, only to be startled awake shortly after to check if Gu Mian was still there.
It seemed he feared that Gu Mian would abandon him while he was asleep.
He jolted awake several times like this until he finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Gu Mian sat on his guitar case, pondering the process of the first stage of the talent show.
That’s right, he was sitting on his guitar case.
The small, humble house was sparse, with nothing but a dirt bed and a dirty carpet.
Gu Mian had no choice but to use the guitar case as a makeshift stool. A few whimpering sounds came from the case but soon faded away.
"The show ’Trial and Crown’ has three stages, and tomorrow marks the start of the first stage..." Gu Mian thought about the information provided by the Crazy Tower Chief.
The Crazy Tower Chief was not familiar with the Upper Class People, so the information given was limited, though it was better than what could be gleaned from flyers.
"The first stage is the preliminary round. The Upper Class People will visit various lower-class residential areas to select suitable candidates and transport them to multiple voting points set up in the Upper Class districts for speeches and vote soliciting. The surrounding Upper Class People can then choose their favored candidates to vote for;
Each Upper Class Person has two votes, which they can cast for two different people or allocate both votes to one person; the top fifty vote-getters will advance to the second stage."
According to the Crazy Tower Chief, about three thousand lower-class people are expected to compete in the first stage.
Only the top fifty out of three thousand can enter the second stage...
The competition was intense.
However, earlier, 007 had pointed out in [The Ten-Person Chat] room that Gu Mian was highly attractive to the Upper Class People.
Even appearing on camera in disguise seemed to attract a large viewership among the Upper Class, like mosquitoes drawn to blood.
If what 007 said was true, then Gu Mian did not have to worry about his ranking, but he should be concerned about Mr. Green.
He planned to take Mr. Green to the talent show with him, and if Mr. Green couldn’t advance to the second stage, it would be problematic.
At this moment, Mr. Green was snoring soundly on the bed, completely unaware of Gu Mian’s intention to take him to the talent show.
Just then, Gu Mian suddenly heard the noisy sounds of a crowd outside.
This house didn’t have any windows, so Gu Mian could only look outside through the low door.
He saw a large truck slowly approaching from the distance.
