Lu Yi shook his head: "I know the underground cavern’s statue holds many secrets, but only the highest level of Upper Class People can access those. That cavern... is guarded by a founder and is usually off-limits."
Gu Mian watched the flickering flas of the candles on the table; it seed that Lu Yi was unaware of the statue’s wish-granting capabilities, so he couldn’t ask him about it.
Gu Mian felt a headache; this wish-making function was too unstable, and he had hoped Lu Yi would know so inside information.
Just as his forehead pulsed with discomfort, there was a "bang" from the door.
The door, which hadn’t been repaired, was abruptly slamd open, making a creaky screech as Xiao Qiao returned.
She looked sowhat guilty, quickly tossing sothing from her hand onto the table and then turning to flee.
Gu Mian looked toward the item on the table — it was the electric card she had taken.
It seed she had played enough at the amusent park.
"Great, we can finally turn on the lights." Fatty joyfully picked up the card from the table, went to the door, inserted it into the slot, and pressed the light switch.
But the lamp overhead remained unresponsive.
Fatty tried several more tis, but the light never turned on.
It seed Xiao Qiao hadn’t played enough; she’d exhausted the card’s balance and had to return.
No wonder she looked so guilty just now.
Wondering how Teacher Slaughter and the other lucky Upper-Class person were now.
Due to the lack of electricity, Gu Mian ended up having a candlelit dinner.
Under the candle’s glow, the rabbit on the plate looked exceptionally tasty, so much so that Gu Mian dreamt of a rabbit during the night.
The effort expended in chainsawing people today left Gu Mian sleeping soundly.
He dreamt that he was cutting through the stage floor at the Pyramid, trying to rescue Lu Yi, but when he dug a hole to look inside, he saw a giant rabbit below.
Gu Mian woke up instantly.
Upon waking, it was nearly noon, and he felt sothing fuzzy under his head, turning to see that his pillow had beco a rabbit.
Gu Mian: "..."
He reached out to hold the rabbit’s ears, carrying it with him outside the door.
Fatty saw and exclaid, "Doctor, when did you secretly catch a rabbit?"
"Caught it in a dream." Gu Mian tossed the rabbit to the ground, and it hopped away out the door, coincidentally encountering the chanical dog Hei outside. Hei imitated the rabbit’s hopping, turning into a chanical rabbit.
Hei was also brought into the real world, though Gu Mian felt it wasn’t a proper "being."
Fatty had already heard from Chu Changge and 007 about Gu Mian turning into a wish machine. He scratched his head, "Doctor, it seems this could have quite an impact on your life. Might you one day turn us into rabbits too?"
As he spoke, he imagined himself as a rabbit—a one-person tall, 200-pound strong rabbit man.
That image seed scarier than a ghost, and Fatty shivered.
Gu Mian planned to go to the supermarket to find the Big Nose clerk Fatty ntioned yesterday, to ask about where he got information about the "Trial and Crown" variety show.
Of course, the phone number for the Carnival Wharf employnt place should be called to see if he could chat with Old Xu again.
If Old Xu were indeed Xu Xingcheng, he should know how to control the wish-making chanism on him.
Gu Mian was going to the supermarket to find soone, and of course, Fatty followed along.
"I rember what he looks like crystal clear, Doctor, rest assured I will find him for sure," Fatty assured, following behind Gu Mian and patting his chest.
"By the way, Doctor." Fatty suddenly recalled sothing and told Gu Mian, "I saw a group of injured people supporting a bunch of Upper Class People pass by not far from here this morning. Those injured weren’t dressed well and had different skin colors from the Upper Class People."
Gu Mian thought for a mont: "Those people must have been brought from the Paradise World."
People brought into the real world, whether Upper Class or lower-class, all bore so injuries.
"I thought those were lower-class people; they looked so frail, like a gust of wind could knock them over." Fatty recalled the scene he saw.
"There were a few Upper Class People being carried on the backs of lower-class people, I think those lower-class people struggled to carry them as their legs were shaking while walking. The Upper Class People on their backs were dismissive of them, loudly telling them to hurry up."
It seed everyone hadn’t realized the current situation yet.
The Upper Class People thought they were still in Paradise World and ordered the lower-class people to take them back to the upper-class area.
It was uncertain what they would do when they realized their circumstances.
By coincidence, when Gu Mian reached the supermarket’s entrance, he ran into the group Fatty ntioned.
The supermarket was quite an eye-catching building, visible from afar.
Evidently, this group also saw the supermarket from a distance and rushed over.
Gu Mian watched them from afar.
In Paradise World, places like supermarkets and malls were built by Upper Class People. Seeing a supermarket, they likely thought they had returned to Upper Class territory and eagerly ordered lower-class people to bring them over.
But before they could step inside, they were stopped by the staff at the entrance.
"Tickets?" The staff mber held out a hand.
In order to enter the supermarket, one needs to buy tickets at the ticket booth, sothing the Upper Class People were unaware of.
The foremost Upper Class person stopped was not puzzled by the ntion of tickets but rather stared at the staff blocking their way.
Lower-class, he thought to himself.
Why was a lower-class person appearing in an Upper-Class exclusive supermarket? Shouldn’t they stay in the filthy lower-class living areas?
Moreover, this lower-class person was dressed in work uniform, seemingly as a supermarket employee. Lower-class people working in a supermarket? Ridiculous! He felt this supermarket was all of a sudden dirty, and once he healed, he surely would complain about this supermarket.
"Move aside, you fool, can’t you see we are all injured? Hurry up and let us in." He said, clutching a hastily bandaged wound on his arm, "Bring out the food and drinks, and notify the nearest hospital to co get us."
As he spoke, a sense of unease crept in.
All structures around looked fitting of an Upper-Class area, yet all were long abandoned. On their journey, no other Upper-Class person was seen, and when they finally found an operating supermarket, its staff were lower-class.
He had a sense of foreboding but instinctively avoided delving deeper, only reaching out to shove the staff mber in front of him, "Fool, did you hear ? Why are you still standing there!"
Aside from Gu Mian, it was the first ti the supermarket staff encountered soone so arrogant.
He opened his mouth wide, gave the speaking Upper Class person a ghost-like look from top to bottom, and then looked behind him, suspicious if the person was one of Gu Mian’s relatives abusing their power.
Seeing a group of injured people with no familiar faces, the staff’s worries cald.
He rolled his eyes at the leading Upper Class person, spat out, "Lunatic."
Then turned and walked away.
This stunned not only the Upper Class People but also the lower-class people serving as beasts of burden, who stared wide-eyed in fear at the departing supermarket staff.
"Did he really dare speak to the Upper Class like that? Wasn’t he afraid of dying?"
"Haven’t you noticed this place is very strange? The buildings here are all nice, clearly an Upper Class territory, yet we haven’t found any other Upper-Class people. It’s as if there are no other Upper-Class people here at all."
Two lower-class people, with injured legs, whispered as they supported each other, trying to keep their voices low to avoid being overheard by the nearby Upper-Class people.
"Stop spouting nonsense!" At this ti, soone sternly scolded them.
It was 1868, the person of the first group to win the championship seat. Since he was sitting at the very back of the audience during Gu Mian’s chainsaw event, he wasn’t injured.
In his mind, he was already halfway to being an Upper Class person, yet was unexpectedly brought to this place; he was anxious, eager to return to the stage to continue vying for first place and truly beco an Upper-Class person.
Thus, upon encountering the transferred Upper Class People here, he was the most industrious, diligently carrying the injured Upper Class People and running errands, hoping to close the gap between them for better interaction later.
