Chapter 898: Chapter 862: Tunneling Through the Wall to Secretly Game
"The first edition of the Upper-class Protection Law has been officially passed!"
"Officially passed!"
"Passed!"
Time became slower and slower, the voice stretched infinitely, and the final syllable almost came to a halt.
In the end, Gu Mian could only hear a long sound of "passed" flowing in his ears, as if the sound had neither a beginning nor an end.
In this world, infinitely close to stillness, the game panel that Gu Mian had been yearning for finally reappeared.
The simple panel appeared in front of Gu Mian without warning, different from the neat, background-colored, and tidy game panels Gu Mian had seen before.
This panel looked quite rudimentary, surrounded only by a crooked square frame, as if drawn casually.
There was no background color on the panel, it was completely transparent.
Within the transparent background floated a few lines of ugly letters, it looked like someone had written them by hand.
The letters floated in the transparent background, due to their ugliness, and they kept moving, Gu Mian spent a long time trying to discern what these words were.
[Achieved ending ’Borrow a Tunnel to Steal the Upper-class’]
["Come on, everyone! Once we drill through this wall, we can defeat the Upper-class next door. Huh? Why am I next door?"]
Abstract fonts pieced together an abstract ending.
But luckily, it was at least an ending, and Gu Mian could finally be released from this awkward fairy tale.
The story reached its ending, like the spotlights going out on stage, as the surroundings gradually darkened.
It was time for the curtain call.
But Gu Mian forgot that after a performance ends, the next show often quickly follows.
The darkness did not last long before the spotlights on the stage lit up again, allowing him to see the surrounding environment clearly.
Before he could turn his head to look around, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"With Gu Mian the Hero here, we are sure to defeat the evil Upper-class people!"
---------------
"The doctor has been missing for two days now, and there’s still no news." In the apartment, Fatty propped his chin with a downcast face, sitting on the sofa missing Gu Mian, who had disappeared.
The good news is that Gu Mian’s name was still on their friend list and in the [Ten-person Group Chat], which indicates Gu Mian was still alive.
The bad news is that they couldn’t reach Gu Mian through either the friend list or the [Ten-person Group Chat].
The Fortune-teller was sitting nearby, divining intently.
Fatty had asked her to divine Gu Mian’s position ten times a day, and she was conducting the fifth divination of the day.
As a crack appeared on her divination tool, this divination ended in failure.
The Fortune-teller caressed the Green Stone Plate in her hand, known as the [Omen Tablet], a special item usable only by those with the profession of Fortune-teller.
This wasn’t her special item; it was something 007 had cultivated from the [Mysterious Seeds].
The Fierce Ghost Exhibition instance was cleared perfectly, and Fatty, 007, Keke, and Xie Bi’an, who left from there, all received the reward for the last four clearances—a Mysterious Seed and one hundred Game Coins.
The use of the Mysterious Seed is to plant it in the soil, and when it matures, it will randomly yield a rare special item.
This Omen Tablet was what fell out when 007’s Mysterious Seed matured.
Since 007’s profession wasn’t compatible, the Omen Tablet was of no use to her, so she gave it to the Fortune-teller.
The Omen Tablet can answer the questions posed by the Fortune-teller, although it doesn’t respond aloud, but mostly with words and pictures displayed on the tablet.
The simpler the question, the more accurately the words and pictures are expressed. The harder the question, the more vague the words and pictures become.
And the Omen Tablet only gives one answer per question.
For example, if the Fortune-teller asks it what one plus one equals, the tablet would clearly and distinctly show "two". If asked again, it will not respond.
After obtaining the tablet, the Fortune-teller also used it to inquire about the whereabouts of 007’s parents and Renle Mountain.
About 007’s parents, the tablet didn’t provide an answer, and the Fortune-teller could almost guess the answer in her heart.
For the movements of Renle Mountain, the tablet provided a picture, which only depicted a dog.
The Fortune-teller didn’t know what this dog meant, but she noticed that 007 was stunned upon seeing the dog, as if she recognized it.
said nothing at the time, she just silently returned to her own room.
During the days Gu Mian was missing, the Fortune-teller also used the tablet to divine Gu Mian’s location. If faced with a very difficult divination question, the tablet would refuse to provide an answer.
For days, the Fortune-teller asked the tablet many times, "Where is Gu Mian?"
But the tablet never provided an answer. Since it never answered, the Fortune-teller could keep asking.
Perhaps annoyed by the Fortune-teller’s persistent questioning, when she asked this question again today, it cracked...
Fortunately, it wasn’t serious, just a small crack.
The Fortune-teller tenderly touched the crack on the tablet, it seemed she couldn’t ask it about Gu Mian’s whereabouts for a while, lest it end up like her first Crystal Ball she had bought.
"Failed again, Miss Fortune-teller?" Fatty looked dejectedly at the Omen Tablet with a crack in the Fortune-teller’s hand, "This time even the divination tool has cracked..."
"Hmm... Although in past divinations related to Gu Mian, most didn’t result in an answer, never have I experienced several consecutive days without a hint of information. In recent days, I’ve used other divination methods for Gu Mian as well, but no matter what I divined, there wasn’t a single clue."
