Chapter 894: Chapter 858: Damn It
Anyway, Gu Mian’s ultimate goal is to go to Pleasure Heavenly City, so he can look for Slaughter by the way.
This Upper Class People index is also very useful, so Gu Mian decided to keep him by his side.
However, to make things seem more reasonable, Gu Mian decides to "convince" this Upper Class Person.
"What’s your name?" Gu Mian asked the other person for his name before the action.
"You think you’re worthy... ah, brave Hero, my name is Riley. It is truly my honor that my humble name is uttered from the noble mouth of the Hero!"
Riley struggled to address Gu Mian’s relatives but was dazzled by Gu Mian’s noble radiance, becoming utterly obsessed.
"Good, Riley." Gu Mian patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "I can see you’re actually a kind-hearted and helpful person. When you were enslaving the lower-class people with others, you must have felt very guilty at heart."
Riley showed an angry expression, clearly wanting to refute Gu Mian, but the words that came out didn’t match his thoughts: "As expected, the Hero sees through everything. When I saw those lower-class people being beaten and scolded into slaves, my heart bled. I wished this could be a world where everyone is equal without distinction of high or low, noble or humble!"
Saying this, Riley even raised his hand to wipe away non-existent tears. In fact, not only were there no tears in his eyes, but they were almost spitting fire. Yet his mouth uncontrollably moved to make sounds: "Until your appearance, Hero, gave me hope. At first sight of you, I knew you would be the savior of this world!"
Savior Gu Mian pretended not to see the rage almost sparking from his eyes and said earnestly to Riley, "Since you’re shamelessly admitting it, I’ll mercifully give you a chance. From now on, you are no longer an Upper Class Person; you’re with us."
"Really!" Riley exclaimed exaggeratedly with joy, "Haha, I’m not an Upper Class Person anymore! I’m finally no longer one of those hateful Upper Class People..."
"Alright." Gu Mian stopped this Upper Class Person index from cheering, "Take me to a bright place; I need to take a close look at this map."
Gu Mian needs to carefully study the route to Pleasure Heavenly City.
Twenty minutes later, Riley led Gu Mian to the library on Jile Island.
"This is the brightest place on Jile Island, with a total of 192 lights installed on the ceiling to ensure every corner of your map is illuminated."
At the long table in the library hall, Gu Mian spread the map on the table and carefully examined it while Riley counted the number of bulbs in the library.
The route from Jile Island to Pleasure Heavenly City that is most efficient in terms of time and effort had already been marked on the map, requiring passage through five Upper Class residential areas. These are White Shark Street, Passion City, interstellar, Joyful City, and Joy Village.
It’s not that it can’t go around these five Upper Class residential areas, but maps show that these residential areas are vast, so doing so would take an awful lot of time.
Passing through those residential areas is a faster way to reach Pleasure Heavenly City. Since the Evil God has already set up the script, Gu Mian estimates that the situations will be similar when he ambushes these five cities later, so there’s no need to detour.
Speaking of which, the Jile Island he’s currently on isn’t that large. That lower-class scout took no time at all to run around the outskirts of Jile Island.
Gu Mian thinks this is also the Evil God’s arrangement, putting the island with the simplest script and the smallest area at the start like it’s first giving him a simpler newbie task.
Gu Mian set his sights on "White Shark Street," the closest of the five cities to Jile Island, and turned to ask Riley beside him, "How far is White Shark Street from here?"
The map had no distance indicators, making it hard for him to gauge.
"We already called White Shark for help during the day; soon, the Upper Class People there will come with reinforcements. Prepare to meet your end, you lowly lower-class person... The distance between White Shark Street and this place is 7.86 kilometers; at most, it’ll take half a day to get there from here."
"How many Upper Class People live in the White Shark Street residential area?" Gu Mian asked again.
"The number of Upper Class People in the White Shark Street residential area is 8,766."
More than 8,000?
Gu Mian silently put down the map in his hand.
With over 8,000 Upper Class People, even if they lined up to collide with the lower-class people, it would bruise the fifty lower-class people blue and purple.
Gu Mian let out a long sigh, feeling very difficult about the future.
Furthermore, Riley said that the Upper Class People on Jile Island had already asked White Shark Street for help during the day, but it’s unclear whether these 8,000 Upper Class People would suddenly launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night.
If they really do sneak attack, he’d have to get up in the middle of the night to bump into them.
Just thinking about that possibility made Gu Mian shudder.
He’s increasingly understanding the hardships of the Evil God. The script the Evil God had back then must have been more challenging than the one he has now. Yet, the Evil God had the endurance to perform this challenging script countless times.
Fortunately, the Upper Class People in White Shark Street didn’t rush to support Jile Island as Gu Mian imagined. For some unknown reason, they did not come, allowing Gu Mian to enjoy a peaceful night.
When the first bird chirp of the morning sounded, the sleeping lower-class people on Jile Island opened their eyes as if someone had turned them on simultaneously, and then they got up one after another, just like NPCs in online games, proceeding to execute their own programs.
Some cleaned, some cooked, some compiled a list of captured Upper Class People, while the rest started jogging and doing fitness exercises around Jile Island, chanting slogans along the way.
Gu Mian was woken up by the sound of their chanting. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a straight figure standing by his bed, staring at him with bloodshot eyes.
It was Riley.
Since Gu Mian had not given him a rest order before going to sleep last night, Riley had stood by the bed in a guarding position all night long.
At this moment, there were dark circles under Riley’s eyes, and he looked exhausted. It was apparent he wanted to close his eyes and rest, but his eyelids disobeyed his command and remained wide open.
Gu Mian noticed his eagerness: "You must be tired from guarding me all night. Go out and relax by jogging with the others."
Upon hearing this, Riley’s eyes widened even more. He glared at Gu Mian, seemingly wanting to stab him to death with his gaze, but his body betrayed his desire to harm Gu Mian and forced him to turn around and jog out the door.
When Gu Mian saw Riley again, he had already completed the jogging task assigned by Gu Mian. Now, not only were there dark circles under his eyes, but his lips had also turned blue.
Gu Mian casually allowed these lower-class people and machines to finish their meal and then led them in a grand march towards White Shark Street.
As for the upper-class captives, Gu Mian had no interest in dealing with them; all he wanted now was to reach Pleasure Heavenly City as soon as possible.
With Riley, an upper-class person, leading the way, they took no detours and arrived directly at White Shark Street.
The area of White Shark Street was much larger than Jile Island. From a distance, Gu Mian could see a densely packed city ahead.
The city was vast, stretching beyond the horizon.
The city gates were also massive, and the white flag flying above was equally large.
White flag...
Gu Mian saw the white flag fluttering in the wind from afar. Initially, he thought he was mistaken, but as they approached, he realized that the white flag was indeed real, with several upper-class people stationed beneath it.
This time, the upper-class people at the gate did not bother gazing at the moon or the sun.
They immediately noticed the arrival of Gu Mian and exclaimed joyfully, "Hero Gu Mian is here!"
The Evil God probably also thought that fifty people versus eight thousand was too absurd, so this time, the upper-class people of White Shark Street received the surrender instance and surrendered on the spot, warmly welcoming Gu Mian and his group into White Shark Street.
They even said a lot of things like "The world has long suffered under the upper-class people," expressing their willingness to follow Hero Gu Mian in the crusade against the wicked upper-class people.
Of course, while making these statements, their faces bore expressions of gritting their teeth, clearly showing these words were not their genuine sentiment.
Gu Mian thought that since there was such a surrender scenario, perhaps the remaining cities could follow suit, so there would be no need to wait in one place for thousands of upper-class people to line up for a confrontation.
As usual, he selected an upper-class search engine in White Shark Street and then led the crowd on a grand march to the next upper-class residential area without rest.
The next upper-class residential area was Passion City.
According to the upper-class search engine, the area of Passion City was larger than White Shark Street, with an upper-class population exceeding one thousand people, making it a very large residential area.
When Gu Mian led his fifty-member squad to the formidable Passion City, ready to challenge the upper-class people within, he discovered that Passion City was already on fire.
It turned out that the upper-class people in Passion City, having heard early on about the back-to-back conquests of Jile Island and White Shark Street by Hero Gu Mian, were filled with fear and decided to use powerful explosives against Gu Mian.
At first glance, the storyline seemed to follow a normal sequence.
But midway, an abnormal twist occurred.
The upper-class people in Passion City had gathered all the explosives together, fully confident in their ability to blow up Gu Mian.
Eagerly, they opened champagne halfway through, deciding to hold a celebratory feast near the cluster of explosives.
They even set off fireworks that were barely visible in broad daylight to boost morale.
Shortly before Gu Mian’s arrival, they had just launched the fireworks. Unfortunately, the spark from the fireworks landed near the cluster of explosives, and then the upper-class people of Passion City heard a sound even more thrilling than fireworks explosions.
"Bang—"
When Gu Mian and his group arrived outside Passion City, it was still exploding inside.
They couldn’t enter and had to wait outside until evening, when the sound of explosions gradually ceased.
In a sense, the upper-class people of Passion City did indeed use explosives to block Gu Mian’s progress.
