I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 119 - 119: 119: Rabbit Experiment

Translator: 549690339

Bai Youwei’s plush rabbit could move by itself.

If it was more than 2 meters away from her, it would seemingly activate a program and begin its unyielding journey to find its owner.

In this process, if it was obstructed by a living object, it would release a small amount of electric energy for defense.

However, if the object was inanimate, such as a tent, stone, tree trunk, wall, etc., the rabbit wouldn’t react at all.

Bai Youwei and Shen MO conducted a few more experiments together.

For example, Bai Youwei placed the rabbit on the windowsill of a room on the first floor, closed the glass window, and then retreated to a position more than 2 meters outside the window.

Afterward, the rabbit would continually press and push against the glass window even though the room’s door was clearly open; it wouldn’t leave through the door.

This indicated that the plush rabbit had certain intelligence, but not too advanced.

“If the maze’s data upgrade also affects items, why haven’t other items changed?” Shen MO speculated, “Could the maze system have taken the ‘tenth of me’ as a game player?”

Bai Youwei shook her head: “If it was deemed by the system as a game player, then it should’ve been ranked along with me as first place when we completed the level together. Why didn’t it receive a puzzle piece?”

The top five players who left the maze all received puzzle pieces.

Hence, this hypothesis wasn’t valid.

Shen MO furrowed his brows, thinking again, “The system upgrades players based on certain criteria. Supposing that the system targets all beings with intelligence – this item perfectly fits this criterion. However, since the Inspector’s role is inherently excluded from the game, it cannot earn puzzle pieces?”

“Hmm, that’s possible.” Bai Youwei, while stroking the rabbit’s fluffy ears, slowly said, “After all, the Inspector’s status in the game is extraordinary. Even if it’s only a tenth, it cannot be placed on the same scale as regular gamers.”

While speaking, she suddenly smirked, seemingly thinking about something.

“I wonder what extent this data upgrade can reach… Will it turn into a fifth, a third, a quarter… until it becomes a complete Inspector?”

Shen MO was left speechless for a moment.

He found Bai Youwei’s theory baffling and was equally baffled by the existence of the Inspector.

Speaking of upgrades, though…

Whether they could safely exit the next maze was still uncertain.

Shen MO fell into silence for a moment before finally saying, “We’ll see once we reach Hangzhou.”

Bai Youwei simply responded with a hum.

After a while, she quietly said, “I thought you would choose to follow Zhang Tianyang and the others.”

Upon hearing her, Shen MO turned to look at her.

She was gazing into the distance.

During the peaceful night, the moonlight lay scattered on the industrial cement road, creating an illusion of frost and piled snow.

The two of them sat side by side in front of the tent flap.

Bai Youwei said, “I’m not close to my mother, so it’s normal for me not to go look for her. What about you? Have you ever thought of looking for your dad?”

Shen MO was silent for a moment, his tone still as calm as water, “Given my dad’s personality, he wouldn’t trust in any temporary rescue team. He would most likely seek out his own path.”

Pausing for two seconds, he continued, “Moreover, what difference would it make if we found him? We’d still need to figure out these games, and the maze…”

As he slowly spoke, his gaze dropped to her slightly bent legs.

Thinking about the data upgrade and her physical condition, he wanted to ask, but at that moment, Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai came running from a distance, shouting at them, “Brother MO! Weiwei! Something is coming across the lake!”

Their shouts were breathless and somewhat unclear. Shen MO stepped forward and asked, “What’s coming?”

“Looks like a boat!” an excited Tan Xiao replied, “There are lights on the boat!

And electricity! It’s also rumbling loudly!”
