Global Collapse-Chapter 478 - 453: He’s Just a Child!_1

Gu Mian glanced at Fatty. "It seems you still remember almost running me over the first time we met."

Fatty swallowed nervously. "You didn’t die in the end, did you..."

After selecting their special items and receiving their admission tickets, they were teleported out of the activity area and back to the dilapidated apartment building where they were temporarily staying. By now, the sun had already set, leaving only a faint afterglow to illuminate the earth.

The dragon boat racing event would continue until midnight, and it wasn’t even seven o’clock yet.

Gu Mian didn’t dwell on the life-or-death issue. He said, "Chu Changge is very familiar with Lianhua University; he’s a student there."

Fatty looked at Chu Changge, scratching his chin in puzzlement. "Doctor, you two don’t attend the same school?"

"We did, before university," Gu Mian raised his eyebrows.

At this, Chu Changge returned to his room and came back with paper and a pen. "That’s right, I’m a student at that school, so I’m very familiar with it."

As he spoke, he began sketching something on the paper with a black pen. Gu Mian glanced over; it was a map of the school.

While Chu Changge was drawing the map, Fatty started complaining about the next day’s event. "They call it a College Entrance Exam event, but who holds college entrance exams from 7:00 p.m. to midnight... By the way, Doctor, what do you think the exam will cover?"

Gu Mian walked to the window, looking at the evening sky. "I doubt it’ll cover things like complex analysis or calculus. It’ll probably be something similar to the Spirit Car instance."

After all this time, Gu Mian still remembered the "Dancing with Shadows" option he had seen in the Spirit Car instance.

Fatty had already looked at everyone’s admission tickets. He noticed that while all their exam locations were at Lianhua University, their admission ticket numbers, exam halls, and seat numbers were all different.

Gu Mian was in Building No. 6, Room 208, Seat No. 01.

Chu Changge was in Building No. 3, Room 602, Seat No. 24.

Liu Ruyan was in the same exam hall as Chu Changge, her seat number 25. They should be seated next to each other.

As for Fatty himself, he and Xiao Qiao were both in Building No. 11.

However, Xiao Qiao was in Room 701, while Fatty was in Room 503.

Chu Changge drew the map quickly. By the time the hour hand of the wall clock pointed to 7:00, he had roughly sketched out the map of Lianhua University.

He was currently pointing at the map on the table as he spoke, "Lianhua University has two main gates, the South Gate and the North Gate; a total of twelve academic buildings, numbered 1 through 12; and eight dormitory buildings, also numbered. Dormitories 1 through 4 are for female students, and the rest are for male students."

As he spoke, he used his pen to tap a building in the top-left corner of the map. "This is your exam building, Gu Mian, Academic Building No. 6. It’s in the far northwest corner, the closest academic building to the girls’ dormitories. If you try hard enough, you can even see into the girls’ dorms."

Fatty was slightly startled. "Brother Chu, you sure know your way around."

Chu Changge’s hand moved to the right, his pen tapping a building in the top row, sandwiched between two others. "This is Academic Building No. 11, Fatty and Xiao Qiao’s exam location. It’s very close to the North Gate."

Then, his pen moved again, pointing to a building in the lower-left area, closest to the South Gate. "This is Liu Ruyan’s and my exam hall, Building No. 3, the one nearest to the South Gate."

"It’s so convenient having Brother Chu around," Fatty said, looking at the map in Chu Changge’s hand. "We won’t have to worry about going to the wrong exam hall."

Gu Mian, who had been listening quietly, interjected, "You seem to be missing the main point."

Fatty paused, stunned. He stared at the map for a good while before finally asking, "Have we been split up?"

"Glad you finally noticed."

And quite far apart, too.

The content and rules for tomorrow’s College Entrance Exam event hadn’t been announced. Gu Mian was sure teachers would be there on-site to explain everything. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Perhaps there will even be proctors...

But will those teachers be real teachers?

Gu Mian didn’t need to memorize it. He had grown up in Lianhua City. In elementary school, his teachers often took the class to visit Lianhua University. Of course, they originally had better places for field trips, but given that their class trips were always plagued by minor accidents, the teachers specifically chose the seemingly benign and harmless campus. Since he lived close to the university, Gu Mian, who rarely set foot in a kitchen, often went to the Lianhua University cafeteria to scrounge food and drinks. For some unknown reason, every time he visited that cafeteria, some small mishap would occur.

Fatty’s Everbright Lantern was very useful at night. The sun had set long ago, and the room was gradually darkening. With the lantern placed there, they didn’t even need to turn on the electric lights.

While Fatty was yawning and memorizing the map by the lantern’s eerie blue glow, Gu Mian lifted his blanket and discovered a soundly sleeping baby in his bed.

A green baby, about the length of a laptop, and quite horrifying to look at.

The moment he saw the baby, Gu Mian’s first thought was, Xiao Hong secretly had a baby behind my back!

Meanwhile, Xiao Hong, blissfully unaware that she had "given birth," was happily taking selfies with her phone.

Just as Xiao Hong snapped a selfie, Gu Mian had another thought. He remembered something—That IOU!

He had drawn that IOU when selecting a special item, which resulted in him owing the Nine-headed Baby ten thousand Game Coins.

However, due to various unforeseen incidents, the ten thousand Game Coin debt had not yet been successfully repaid.

Fatty’s Everbright Lantern could reveal invisible ghosts, which was why Gu Mian could now see the Nine-headed Baby that had been stealthily lurking beside him.

When it came to debts, Gu Mian figured, There’s an excellent way to handle this.

He cheerfully unzipped his guitar case. "Since we can’t resolve the debt, we’ll just have to resolve the person who got me into debt."

Just then, Fatty happened to turn his head and saw Gu Mian raising a cleaver towards a little green demon. Fatty blanched and wanted to yell the classic line, "He’s just a child!" But then, remembering the Nine-headed Baby and the ten thousand Game Coins, his expression shifted. Gu Mian read the new look on his face as, Go on, go on.
