Chapter 810: Chapter 774: The Flying Gu Gu and the Moral Yardstick

Why did he take off the helmet that blocks thoughts outside? Isn’t he afraid of making a wish on the spot?

Gu Mian was puzzled, but didn’t think much about it.

Slaughter said the range of the statue’s wishes is vast, so thinking too much now could possibly make the wishes come true.

"Better to think about that nonsense once farther away from here, but before I leave I have to deliver these five packages around here first." Gu Mian thought, twisting the throttle, and the motorcycle sped up again.

This seemed like a magic motorcycle, lacking basic structure but speeding up when twisting the throttle.

The delivery bike had returned to NPC Street due to a rollback, along with the map.

Luckily, Gu Mian has a good memory and remembered their general locations, plus the five delivery points aren’t far from each other.

He quickly found four of the delivery points and completed the delivery task.

These five delivery points are most likely placed by the Evil God on the task list on purpose, luring him to the Secret Forest to see the statue.

Therefore, the deliveries to these five locations are simple, all just things like branches and stones that can be sourced locally. And if not, they can be wished for using the great Evil God’s wishing machine.

"Carnival Abandoned Factory, Evil Eastern Valley, Prisoner Cave, deliveries to these four locations are all done. Ahead is the final delivery point—the up-and-down boundary line." Gu Mian was busy all night heading to the last location.

Up-and-down boundary line, just hearing the name reveals it’s a feudal relic, constructed by the Upper Class People to demarcate themselves from lower-class people.

And the delivery to it is rather abstract—a mouthful of spit.

It requires Gu Mian to spit on this boundary line, quite in line with the Evil God’s style.

Relying on his memory, Gu Mian quickly found the up-and-down boundary line.

Of course, it’s also because the landmark is very conspicuous.

From afar, he saw a towering pole rising into the night sky, exceptionally visible even in darkness.

Gu Mian followed the pole’s direction to a place called "Dividing Square."

Once a small square, it has become a lockdown zone affected by monstrous rampages due to collapse, having been long abandoned.

The fountain inside ceased functioning long ago, filled with piled-up leaves, emanating a stench of decaying foliage.

The brick pavement subtly uplifted from neglect, making it rough underfoot.

Seems like monsters have come here to rampage, smashing the benches into pieces, leaving behind debris and wood shavings.

It’s so rundown that it hardly looks like a square anymore.

Only a bronze plaque imprinted with "Dividing Square" barely attests to its former self, yet that plaque is rusted, distorting and blurring the words.

A casual tug from Gu Mian and it fell off the pole completely, the rusty plaque hitting the ground with its final cry of existence, seemingly bidding farewell to this world.

He stepped onto the rough brick, heading towards the pole standing at the center of the square.

The night was quiet, scarcely any sound around him except for the leaves inside the fountain pool rustling faintly in the wind.

No sign of monsters nearby, perhaps they lost interest after coming once.

The mechanical dog padded closely at Gu Mian’s feet, refraining from repeating its classic lines, perhaps sensing the fear itself.

Soon, Gu Mian arrived at the pole pointing heavenward.

A stone base lay beneath, inscribed with information about the pole.

"Up-and-down boundary line—this day, we finally distinguished our great selves from the inferior lower-class people, thus erected this pole to forever commemorate this glorious day."

Further down, the builder’s name—Slaughter.

Gu Mian fell silent for a few seconds; Slaughter truly played his role to perfection.

He gathered himself, spat at Slaughter’s name, dutifully delivering the package.

Thus, the five deliveries near the Secret Forest were finally complete.

Gu Mian fetched the list and crossed off the location "up-and-down boundary line."

"Adding these five, I’ve completed fifteen delivery tasks. Only eighty-four more to complete for obtaining the special tool to enter the ’Mailman’ profession instance." Gu Mian felt gloomy about the future, fearing he wouldn’t complete ninety-nine deliveries before Earth’s destruction.

At this moment, a bold thought crossed his mind.

"This should still be within the Evil God’s statue’s wish range."

Thinking of this, he clasped his hands and earnestly wished to the heavens, "Dear Evil God, kindly help me fulfill the remaining eighty-four delivery tasks."

Whether due to the difficulty of the wish or the Evil God’s unawareness, his wish wasn’t granted. Gu Mian stood in the dilapidated square, hands clasped, appearing quite absurd. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Lifting his head, he noticed colorful, beautiful gems adorned the pole. Uncleaned for ages, they were covered in a thick layer of dust, hence overlooked by Gu Mian earlier.

"Xiao Hong will surely love these." He disregarded his wish, stepping forward to pry some gems off as a gift for Xiao Hong.

At that moment, he noticed the stars in the sky moving.

What’s happening?

Gu Mian gazed at the sky in confusion.

In an instant, all the stars moved uniformly in one direction, yet didn’t resemble meteors.

Suddenly, the ground beneath tilted, almost causing him to fall.

At the same time, he heard a deep rumbling from underground, resembling a giant creature growling beneath.

The ground tilted increasingly, and Gu Mian turned to survey his surroundings, discovering the eastern ground gradually rising while the western ground sank.

This land seemed akin to a seesaw now, one end continuously elevating as the other descended.

The mechanical dog sensed danger, advancing a few steps to cling fearfully to Gu Mian’s leg.

Facing the see-sawing ground, Gu Mian’s expression changed.

"The stars haven’t moved, the ground is tilting, making people standing on it mistakenly think the stars are moving."

Gu Mian realized what was about to happen.

This area is about to ascend.

It is transforming into the Inverted City.

No time to think, he urgently ran, leaving this ascending area!

If caught ascending here, there would be no way down, leaving Chu Changge and 007 in Game City without a means to leave this world.

Acting swiftly, Gu Mian scooped up the clinging mechanical dog, darting towards his motorcycle.

Arriving by the bike, he tossed the dog into the back cylinder, mounted the bike, and fiercely throttled southward.

Heading east or west is impossible; the west end has already sunk underground, and the east is rising high, moving west is grave-digging, heading east when reaching the boundary line equals a jump to doom.

Only the north-south axis maintains alignment with the outside ground, so Gu Mian decisively raced south on the motorcycle.
